One-way traffic

The location directly in front, resembling an artificial lake or cave.

"..."

Jian Gongzhai stared wide-eyed, as if he had thought of something. He walked over step by step, and the other members followed suit.

pat.

In that instant, the weapons in the hands of the Amakusa members fell to the ground right before their eyes.

"…impossible."

They saw the scene, they saw the real scene.

The deepest part of that underground area seems to be the original streets of Academy City, which have now been turned into a place even more desolate than ruins due to the simple impact.

But it wasn't a complete dead end.

Everyone could clearly see that in the apocalyptic space, three streams of light were constantly intersecting and passing by.

That's right.

It was the water behind them, whom they considered the enemy, that was fighting with the other two.

Their speed surpassed the dynamic vision of everyone in the Amakusa school. Every battle was far above the speed of sound, and every fight was enough to tear an entire skyscraper in two. No, even an entire block could not withstand their impact.

The water behind them completely demonstrated a speed and strength that none of them could keep up with.

That's how it was up until now. The Amakusa-style Cross Cult was originally supposed to protect Touma Kamijou, but when the Water attacked from behind, they couldn't do anything and were easily defeated by him alone.

Then.

Now, who exactly is capable of fighting such a monster?

The answer is simple.

—If it is a saint, then it must be a saint of equal stature.

"Kanzaki, the High Priestess..."

Jian Gongzhai's eyes trembled, and he couldn't help but feel the urge to straddle the ground.

Opposing the water behind her is Kanzaki Kaori, who wields a spirit weapon called the Seven Days Seven Blades and launches a fierce attack using melee attacks that are also at the speed of sound.

They knew the other party's identity clearly; he was a genuine Eastern saint. Therefore, Kanzaki Kaori, being a saint of equal rank, was naturally able to intervene in a battle of this scale.

That's a matter of course.

but.

—The other person outside of that, they had never even seen.

It was barely discernible for a moment that he appeared to have white hair and red eyes. His purplish-black clothing emitted pure white-purple light particles, allowing him to dash forward at high speed like wings, constantly engaging in fierce battles with the water behind him, as if he and Kanzaki Kaori were assisting each other.

An individual whose identity is impossible to discern, but judging from their technological appearance, they should be from Academy City, and are very likely one of the legendary seven Level 5 espers.

However, the other party was not a saint. Even so, he still managed to achieve a level of strength that was equal to that of Houfang Zhishui, who possessed the strength of a saint at 200%.

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

They stood there trembling, unable to say a word. No one could intervene in a battle of this scale; the aftershocks alone would be enough to wipe them all out.

The battle between saints is not something ordinary mortals like them can get involved in.

Even a Level 5 esper in Academy City possesses absolutely terrifying strength, so he must have enough qualifications to stand on this battlefield. But even so, he must be a strong person who can fight against Rear Water countless times head-on and remain evenly matched.

But they can't do anything about it.

All their preparations to counter the water from behind were meaningless. Even their strongest preparations would be easily wiped out in an instant by the power of the water. They didn't have supersonic speed, nor the strength to shatter skyscrapers with a single blow. What was even more terrifying was—

Even if they wanted to help, once they got involved in a battle of this scale, they might not even survive the aftermath.

Whether it's Kanzaki Kaori, the Water of the Back, or the white-haired Level 5 esper, the strength they displayed far surpassed the overall strength of the Amakusa-style Cross Cult, making them monsters.

The battles between monsters are none of their business, these little fish and shrimps.

They are not qualified to fight on this kind of battlefield.

"us…"

Having already witnessed that horrifying scene, Wuhe murmured listlessly.

"What exactly are we doing...?"

There's nothing I can do to help.

—This monstrous erosion of everyone's thoughts by Amakusa-style continued to intensify.

The story evolves as monsters battle against each other.

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

As mentioned before, the battle is not over yet.

Accelerator and Rear Water severely injured each other—no, in fact, they both still had the ability to unleash that level of technique countless times again, but neither of them intended to do so.

A powerful attack would completely affect everything around it. In that case, not only would the entire 22nd School District be unable to survive, but the entire Academy City itself might not be able to survive.

It could even pose a danger of completely destroying the entire Japanese island.

So here, it devolved into a pure human-bombing battle.

"Humph…"

The water behind her began to hum softly.

He retreated swiftly, and the ground cracked again as he moved.

"It's great to be exercising after all this time, but aren't you guys being a bit too discordant?"

He stared at the two people in front of him.

Those were beings whose identities were saints and level five superpowered individuals, respectively.

"No, this was merely my personal action and had nothing to do with orders from the British Puritan Headquarters."

Kanzaki Kaori stood still, staring dangerously at the water behind her.

“You have hurt my comrades in the Amakusa school, and I cannot allow you to trample on their thoughts so easily.”

"so?"

"So I will avenge them, I will fight you with my own will, Water of the Rear!"

Her words, however, made Shui behind her laugh.

"You want to stop me just for this reason? If you knew how enormous the impact of that right hand is on the world, I wonder if you would still hold onto this naive idea."

"If I am truly naive, then it doesn't matter to me. It's still much better than a villain like you who would rob an innocent person of their peaceful life for the sake of so-called tranquility!"

Boom! The two saints clashed head-on.

Their speed was far greater than that of fighter jets, and their impact alone created huge waves that overturned the ground.

However, they weren't the only two on the battlefield.

“…!!”

The man behind him frowned. As he used his hands to block the attack from Kanzaki Kaori in front of him, he sensed something.

A powerful attack from the side of the body.

boom----! ! !

A gale with a speed exceeding 720 kilometers per hour blasted at his original location.

The water behind them leaped into the air, reaching heights of over twenty meters, a feat unmatched by anyone, but—

The white monster, rushing towards him like a meteor, slammed its fist into his iron rod.

BANG——!!!

The explosive force of the frontal bombardment sent the water behind him flying. His body streaked across the ground like an asteroid, causing a huge crater to reappear on the surface.

Accelerator is the number one Level 5 Level 5 esper in Academy City.

The "Doomsday Destroyer" behind him is still in so-called Brust Mode, which allows him to achieve semi-permanent flight. Combined with the combat suit itself and the enhancement of superpowers, achieving supersonic speeds is not difficult at all.

only.

'...The burden is very heavy.'

Accelerator instinctively touched his chest, a trembling feeling spreading from it.

The "Doomsday Destroyer" Awakening Mode (Brust Mode) is an ultimate mode that pushes the power of the six generators beyond their limits, unleashing explosive performance. It is a state of infinitely increasing power by constantly pushing all the energy of the generators to their maximum limit.

This posture is a heavy burden for the user.

The most basic manifestations are insufficient physical strength, physical and mental exhaustion, and limited mental energy. If this posture continues for a long time, he probably has no idea what harm it will cause to Accelerator.

However, this power is truly overwhelming.

For him, the water behind him was already being held back by his own abilities and skills—

'I can win.'

Accelerator thought to himself calmly.

If it were him now, with that unknown saint by his side, he could accomplish it.

Chapter 210 Kanzaki Kaori

Far below on the ground, the water raised its iron rods again, and ice spears and water spears, visible from afar, burst forth in thousands, attacking Accelerator and Kanzaki Kaori.

But none of them paid too much attention to it.

*Snap!* Kanzaki Kaori raised her hands, and as she drew the Seven Heavens Seven Blades, countless marks were already scattered throughout the space.

That's steel wire, the skill most prized by the saint of the East, the Seven Flashes.

By using a steel wire to reach maximum speed, one can unleash an ultimate technique that is beyond the reach of the human eye. The steel wire will completely cut through the air itself, creating an ultimate move that can kill seven people in an instant.

Using this ability, she intercepted most of the water spears in mid-air and crashed into the water behind her head again.

"…Um!"

With a muffled groan, Shui from behind slammed the iron rod hard onto the ground.

Boom! Pure water gushed out from the ground, probably groundwater or water originally stored in pipes, but now it was mercilessly smashed apart by the water behind.

He extracted a transparent liquid, approximately four kilometers in diameter, in an instant.

Countless liquids mingled and rose high into the air, revealing an unimaginable three-dimensional magic circle—the magic power that the water behind them was so proud of.

Click——! !

He turned the ground beneath his feet into ice, and at the same time, water magic circles in the three-dimensional world combined into a complex shape, with dozens of water spikes emerging from the depths of the earth.

even so.

"PsionicBeat—!"

Boom—!! An attack from the strongest esper in Academy City erupted.

Accelerator plunged straight down from the sky, accompanied by hundreds of white and purple streaks of light. With the blessing of Awakening Mode, all the skills he could originally use would be qualitatively enhanced.

The ice spear of the water behind him was pierced by the white-purple laser that he used to bounce back and forth from the front.

He landed on the ground and charged alongside Kanzaki Kaori, crashing together into the water behind them.

"Want to have a high-speed duel with me?"

Starting with this statement, the three clashed again.

Accelerator raised his fist, and at the same time, twelve energy bullets, generated by the overload of the generator itself, swirled around his fist. Under the effect of Awakening Mode, he forcibly compressed the twelve energy bullets into one.

He maneuvered the light projectile to the right of his path and slammed his fist into it!

In contrast, the Eastern Saint, who possessed the power of the Son of God, drew out the enormous blade stored at his waist in an instant!

"Conquaeror—!!"

"Only Flash—!!"

Two deadly attacks of immense power struck the water from behind head-on.

On the left was a vortex punch created by blasting white and purple light bullets, and on the right was a deadly slash extended from various divine techniques. Even in the face of such a double attack, the Water Behind was not defeated.
