Spring looked in the direction where she pointed. "I see... Gasser, you handle this. I will back you up."
Gasser nodded in response before moving. "Got it, boss!"
A gas mask was placed over their faces before going into battle as if anticipating what was about to happen.
A little further away on the ground level, near a building, were many figures that were gathered around.
The overall atmosphere was chaotic as there was cruel laughter that could be heard along with cold, mocking words being thrown out every so often.
The group were moving away from the building as the door was left wide open, showing the insides that were slightly messed up.
A thin woman was being dragged away from the building by her hair as she struggled weakly.
She pleaded weakly. "Please... I will get you the money. Just give me..."
Before she could finish her words to ask for more time, a sharp pain hit her on the side of her face, followed by a stinging pain.
One of the figures that was dragging her away from her home was a burly and intimidating man.
He turned around and released her as the others held on to her.
He did not listen to her pleading and raised his hand at her.
A harsh slap hit the side of her face, causing her head to jerk to the side.
She lost her balance and fell to the side as a result of that, while clutching her cheek in pain.
She was unable to do anything in that moment as she became completely quiet and subdued due to the fear and pain inflicted upon her.
Her body was quivering from everything that she was experiencing.
Not a single word escaped her lips as she was unable to put up a fight against the people in front of her.
All that she could do was to accept her present situation.
It was like the present situation was not the first time she had experienced such a thing.
She was like an animal that had been taught fear and how to obey.
She knew that if she made any noise and tried to go against the people in front of her, then she would be hit again.
That instinct was deeply ingrained within her, so the pain was a fresh reminder of how she had messed up.
All that she could do was to lower her head and beg silently as she subdued herself further.
It was quite the pathetic sight, but it was a common one to be seen in the current area, where such situations were happening a lot more compared to more civilised and lawful living areas.
In the current area, there were too many chaotic and unlawful elements involved, while a lot of matters were settled through violence.
Those who had the power were right and could do as they wanted.
They could step on the weak as much as they wanted and would often get away with it.
The weak would be bullied and stepped on since they were easy targets for the strong.
They became easy targets to exploit in various ways since they had a more difficult time protecting themselves and anything else they valued.
Just as things were about to proceed any further, something suddenly interrupted everything that was happening.
It came without warning as everyone involved was caught completely off guard.
It became darker as if something was blocking out the light from above.
A shadow was cast on them as a figure was coming down from the sky all of a sudden.
They appeared right above them just in time for them to notice what was going on.
They raised their heads to see the lower body of a person falling toward them.
The lower body tucked their legs in as if raising them to their chest before something else happened right before they reached the group.
Their butt was coming down onto them first, as if that was going to hit them first before anything else.
It was similar to a banzai drop, otherwise known as a seated senton, where someone would leap and slam down onto someone from a higher position, which would usually result in the user landing in a seated position, slamming the opponent's face into the ground or landing on their face or upper body.
Such a move was usually more effective when coming down from a greater height or when performed by someone a lot heavier.
It happened so suddenly that those in the path of the falling figure would likely be unable to get out of the way before that figure landed on them.
Just as they thought they would have to try to move out of the way to avoid being harmed, something else happened.
A powerful force erupted from the butt of the figure that was falling just above them.
A strong gas was released along with a strong tooting or puffing sound.
The vibrations and force created were quite powerful as the gases were expelled right above them, resulting in them being hit by it.
Those hit by it that were the closest to the impact area experienced the worst of it, as they were unable to resist it enough to hold their ground.
Some were impacted enough to hit the ground as they were forced down, while others, further away, were pushed further away.
The figure above them seemed to stop before landing, as they still released the gas from behind.
The force of their gas being expelled eased up a little as they began to lower further until they touched down in the middle of the group that had been hit by it.
