Chapter 41: Toys Attack
The explosion took out the big-eared man who was in the middle of it.
It was the type of compact explosive that had been put inside of the toy that would have a limited amount of power and range but it would do a lot of damage.
Anyone within the effective range would have a high chance of dying while those around it would end up in a bad state.
The pushback and other effects were just the smaller effects created by it so even that was enough to cause a massive disturbance to a group of humans.
Those effects would not be completely effective against some that had stronger Quirks and even the close blast itself could have minimum damage being done if it involved their innate and natural defenses.
Those with activation-type Quirks would have needed to raise their guard quickly enough to protect themselves.
None of them had enough time to do so and many among them were not at the level of capabilities that they could endure such a blast in a close range.
They did not even have time to shield their faces with their arms before the explosion suddenly happened so they could not avoid what followed.
Even the smallest amount of flying debris could prove fatal if they were unlucky enough.
The detonator involved in the design was the two metal parts of the instrument in the hands of the chimp toy.
The moment that they clapped together, it caused the reaction that would set off the explosive planted inside of it.
There were some minor measures in place to prevent accidental and premature activation from any outside factors so it was enough to keep it from going off randomly or during times that Tiffany did not wish to use it.
It was still quite lucky that nobody had stepped on it or hit it too hard since that would have caused it to explode earlier than she wanted.
The moment that the explosion went off, her main target was taken out right away and the enemy forces were scattered and disoriented.
If they were not dead then they were either injured in some way or they were trying to pull themselves back together.
"Urgh... what was that!"
"Damn!"
"Who dares!?"
"A freaking bomb!"
"Seriously!"
Those who were alive and still quite full of energy raised their voices in anger.
They tried pulling themselves up from the ground and searched around themselves.
A little smoke remained around them causing their vision of their surroundings to be interfered with a little.
Some of their ears were ringing after the explosion so some had some difficulty hearing properly causing some of them to shout louder than they wanted to.
Some among them had some difficulty getting back onto their feet as if their sense of balance had been thrown off.
Others had their adrenaline kick in with the sudden feeling of being in danger so they had yet to fully feel the effects of what had happened to them.
They were so high on adrenaline that the pain from their wounds had yet to be noticed.
As they were scrambling up from the ground, a small figure appeared nearby.
It was difficult to make out what it was since it was so tiny and a hidden amount of the smoke that had been created by the cloud of smoke.
Very few among those still able to live after the explosion had been able to pay attention to it as it got closer and became clearer in their view.
One emerged followed by another then another.
Their footsteps were beginning to become clearer the closer that they got and each had a different sound based on the materials they were made from.
Some were very light while others were quite heavy despite the sizes they were.
More began emerging from other locations around the group and their appearances were soon revealed.
"What the.."
"Is this some kind of joke?"
"Haha.. this reminds me of a horror movie I once saw."
"So creepy!"
One of the dolls that approached them turned its head around a full three hundred and sixty degrees and some others began to follow the same creepy movements.
Their limbs and parts twisted unnaturally like most toys and dolls would but there was something very lifelike about them that made their movements look like they came from a horror movie.
The doll at the front raised its hand while pointing at one man who was not too far away from it. "Hehehehehe..."
"It can talk!"
"What the hell!"
They could not register the strange situation for too long before the doll opened its mouth again speaking in a cute tone of voice. "Bye-bye!"
A section of the doll's arm was detached at the wrist removing the hand that fell to the ground.
The moment that it was detached in that instant, something suddenly flew out at a high speed as if being fired from within.
The force produced by it caused the doll to lose its balance and fall back. "How Annoying. This body cannot handle the recoil."
The doll grumbled to itself after falling over then picked itself up.
The other toys and dolls were already taking action the moment that the doll took action first.
What happened as a result of it being knocked down was that a needle-like projectile had been fired from within its arm toward one of the people nearby.
It pierced into their skin and it was coated with a highly deadly toxin that caused them to instantly feel something was wrong.
"AAH!"
"What is this!?"
"Gah!"
"These damned toys!"
