One-way traffic

Boom—!! Purple light bullets and pebbles, surpassing even the railgun, shot together towards the water behind them.

The sheer power of this force made him raise an eyebrow. The water behind him leaped high into the air, easily dodging the light projectiles and pebbles traveling at more than three times the speed of sound, much like a backflip.

Boom—the sound of bombing could be heard echoing across the sky in the distance.

"So, all of this originated from your own consciousness, and wasn't arranged by Academy City?"

"Yeah, unfortunately, it's not my turn to need someone else to help me deal with that bastard. After all, that guy is a good person, and he shouldn't die in a place like this."

That's the reason for One-Way Street.

"You'd better grit your teeth and wait for your just desserts, understand?"

"Humph."

Faced with the white monster's cold rebuke, the water behind him chuckled again.

"I can't ask for it."

The next second, the monsters exploded once again.

Wuhe, who was sitting astride in the distance, was still unable to come to his senses.

She simply stayed where she was, watching the two fight, nothing more.

They would then be unable to participate.

The storm, the bombing, the unparalleled power generated by the two fighting, even the aftershocks were enough to easily tear apart an entire skyscraper, and the conflict in an instant was enough to shock the entire surrounding area.

pat.

Wu couldn't help but drop the spear in his hand to the ground.

To protect the spiky-haired man, she used all her strength, all her thoughts and power, to fight the terrifying monster known as the Water Behind.

Ultimately, they were unable to withstand the monster known as the Saint.

Ultimately, they had to rely on the people of Academy City for help to escape unscathed.

Look at those two people fighting in mid-air, on the bridge, and on the water.

Who could imagine that they were ordinary humans? Whether it was Accelerator or the Rear Water, what they used was a barrage of bombs that exceeded the limits of human comprehension. Every strike and every bombardment was enough to tear everything around them apart, and the aftershocks alone were enough to take away the life of Itsuki.

No, I'm afraid that even if the entire Amakusa-style Cross Cult came here, they wouldn't be able to participate in a battle of this level.

This is how saints fight.

They are beings capable of destroying an entire country single-handedly. Not to mention saints like Houfang Zhishui, whose strength is extraordinary, any saint can reach realms that no magician can achieve.

Wu watched all this quietly, then completely straddled the ground.

"What exactly am I...?"

The girl spoke softly, murmuring as if she were lost in thought.

"What... have we been doing all this time?"

The battle between the saints and the strongest in Academy City continues.

Their impact is not limited to mere physics; it also affects a person's state of mind.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Boom! ...

The passageway and the water behind it once again crossed paths.

This time, an unprecedented whirlwind swept around the two of them, swirling water and steel bars, and nearly half of the bridge was torn apart by the aftershocks.

Accelerator lunged forward, and Water's iron rod slammed into him from behind.

The power was distorted.

As the 'Right Seat of God,' he could clearly feel the strange sensation coming from the tip of the staff. His power was dispersed and reflected. Although not all of his power was reflected, he still felt an unparalleled effect.

The enemy seems to be able to manipulate the direction of some kind of energy, and can even control the force with which one attacks the enemy.

Despite being a Level 5 esper from Academy City, he can interfere with Saint-level magic spells. I really don't know what his limits are.

"I see."

He essentially confirmed the actual strength of Accelerator.

"Please allow me to take back what I said earlier. It's not that you lack backbone, but you're unable to unleash it due to limitations in your vision... If someone like you could reach the realm of magic, it would surely cause a great stir."

"It's just a pity."

"The water behind me continued."

"To me, you are now just an enemy."

No longer an insignificant person.

The man, who is both a saint and the "Right Seat of God," has completely identified the strongest Level 5 esper in Academy City as a worthy "enemy."

Click, click—!

Accelerator realized that the ground beneath his feet could no longer support him.

"snort…!!"

The muscles on the back of the water body bulged instantly.

Boom!! The force of the impact shattered the ground, forcing the white figure to fall below.

Splash! His feet landed on the water, not because of his superpowers, but because of the boots in his combat suit.

The boots allow Accelerator to fight at more than twice the speed of sound from the start, and they can also change mode according to the environment, transforming them into modes that allow him to move on water, in space, or even perform double jumps and dashes in mid-air.

The instant Accelerator landed on the water, he took action, his body moving backward and leaping up at more than twice the speed of sound.

The number one in Academy City will never underestimate any enemy.

Boom! The water behind them also fell onto the surface of the water.

However, unlike his actions, something substantial emerged beneath the water's feet.

"ice…?"

Upon seeing this, Accelerator couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The water behind seemed to have turned the surface of the water into ice.

It's unclear how he did it, or what chemical or physical methods he used to accomplish this. The moment his tall figure landed on the water, he stood on it with ease, and a straight stretch of ice spread out like a train track.

The water behind him locked its gaze on Accelerator and sped forward.

It's not simply running or jumping, but rather—gliding on the ice.

boom--! !

Compared to the previously faster running speed of the water behind, it arrived directly in front of Accelerator in almost an instant.

boom--! !

The enormous club charged straight at them at an even greater speed than before.

Accelerator's eyes instantly caught the movement of the water behind him. The six generators behind him rose up, and he attacked head-on with his left fist, which was filled with data streams.

click-

As before, although he could clearly feel that the power of the water behind him had increased, simple physical attacks were meaningless against Accelerator.

Although his reflection has been transformed into refraction, it is meaningless no matter how much pure physical force comes in.

but.

"…ah?"

He suddenly realized something.

The gaze of the person behind him remained fixed on him, and even after his attack was blocked, he did not miss it.

Then, the anomaly occurred.

boom--! ! !

Right behind him, something straight exploded.

"I already said that."

As he spoke, Houfang Zhishui increased the pressure in his hands, revealing an even sharper look in his eyes.

"If I consider you a true enemy, then it means I will show you my true abilities."

"Then I'm going in. Get ready, my enemy!"

It exploded out at a speed faster than sound.

Accelerator looked behind him almost instinctively, ignoring the movement of the water in front of and behind him.

He saw it.

A massive water hammer, over twenty meters tall, came crashing down on him head-on.

Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

The immense power stirred up the waters of this entire sea with a single strike.

That was real magic.

Crack! The headbutt slammed into the front of the water behind him, engulfing Accelerator's body.

But the person behind him did not let their guard down; they looked again toward the distance.

For an instant.

The generator behind him emitted hundreds of purple-white streaks of light.

"PsionicBeat!"

By fusing microparticles, a white-purple laser that can be launched almost infinitely is created, and its power increases the more it is launched.

If launched indefinitely within a confined space, it could even penetrate the atmosphere.

As he watched the hundreds of beams of light bounce off all around him, Shui in the back began to move.

Boom—!! The massive headbutt still slammed down towards Accelerator, but the Water behind him raised its empty hand.

Within the sea area, hundreds of rays of light also shone brightly.

It was ice. The water behind used its magic to transform the water into ice, causing it to take shape in mid-air and transform into ice spears that were over thirty meters long.

Accelerator raised an eyebrow slightly. PsionicBeat had accumulated enough power during its rebound and was now blasting towards him.

Crack! The purple-white light tore through the spears in an instant, but what followed immediately was a massive water hammer.

Thump! The massive headbutt slammed into the sea with such force that it shook the entire city.

But One-Way Street isn't there.

His body disintegrated in an instant, twisting in a quantum manner, dodging all attacks like a shadow.

True quantization.

"Humph."

The expression on the back of the water grew increasingly serious.

The iron rod in his hand was swirling with some kind of water vortex, and it charged straight at Accelerator.

Behind him, hundreds of ice spears and water hammers reappeared, and a three-dimensional magic circle composed of water appeared in mid-air. The ice surface under his feet expanded further, and even the iron rods were wrapped with water vortexes with extremely strong penetrating power.

Speed ​​and power.

Mind and body.

Control and skills.

Everything was perfectly controlled by the Water in the rear. As a saint and the "Right Seat of God," he held nothing back, unleashing his full power against the superpowered individual in front of him.

"I have never seen anyone in Academy City who could push me to this point."

He strode forward with praise in his voice.

Its speed far exceeded any of its previous thrusts.
