"No matter what you are, I have to tell you one thing."

The second-ranked superpowered individual.

He raised the wings on his back, his eyes flashing with a kind of scarlet light, and shouted as if he had become a different person.

"—You overestimate yourself, you idiot!"

It flaps its six wings, which are hundreds of meters long, and concentrates the power it gathers into one point.

A pure white beam of destructive light, like a tornado, roared straight ahead.

but.

Even if this is the strongest output that Kakine Teitoku could comprehend.

Could this level of power really kill that demon from the abyss so easily?

Bang——! ! !

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the power was twisted.

DO Apis extended the wings on its back and ruthlessly shattered the beam of light that was powerful enough to destroy a nuclear shelter.

This caused Itsuka Shido and the others to display expressions of utter disbelief.

"...the first one."

Kakine Teitoku laughed.

"You know what to do, right?"

Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

Dozens of white rays, deflected by the attack, shot directly toward the demon's back.

That's right.

They exploded directly at Accelerator at speeds several times faster than sound.

The forces have been recombined and focused in a new way.

The reflected power has exceeded its original level.

boom----! ! !

Mixed with plasma and after being combined with new power, Accelerator directly reflected the fatal blow that belonged to Kakine Teitoku back.

Its route is a straight, direct rush.

In other words.

The demon named DO Apis was instantly pierced through by that beam of light.

"Goo-hoo-?"

"You seem unable to grasp the meaning of this, which is perfectly reasonable."

Kakine Teitoku stared at the face that was twisted with incomprehension and pain.

He said it as he pleased.

"This is a Level 5 superhuman."

The second-ranked city in Academy City, and the first-ranked city.

The two spoke at the same time, in unison.

"Don't underestimate people with abilities, you bastards."

Followed by.

The towering explosion of light shattered the demon directly from its body.

Chapter 393 The Fire Spirit

The area damaged stretched for several kilometers.

If we don't consider the widespread impact of natural disasters, this is probably an even more terrifying scene than the instantaneous occurrence of a natural disaster.

Ahead, smoke and fire filled the air.

Although the ground and rooftop here have been destroyed beyond recognition, the creature that once existed here cannot be found.

The black and red demon is not here.

Or rather, it's no longer possible for it to stay here.

"…Hello."

As Itsuka Shido slowly walked out from the rooftop, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Even though he wasn't a key figure in the battle, the scene before him was still incredibly impactful.

To this day, everything that is presented before my eyes is like a nightmare.

But what if the very entity that created this nightmarish scene has been completely destroyed?

"It's... over?"

He himself couldn't even imagine this.

What was created on such a terrifying scale, like the end of the world, has now simply vanished before our eyes?

All of this came quickly and went quickly.

The scene was so unbelievable, it was hard for him to believe.

"I can't sense any strange power. Perhaps... we really have eliminated that monster?"

"...I suppose so."

This is the only way that Yatogami Tohka and Tobiichi Origami can judge the current outcome.

As things stand, there's no way to find any trace of that monster, but...

If it's not visible, there is indeed a possibility that 'the other person's body has been completely eliminated'.

If that's really the case...

"Maybe, maybe they really have already won?"

If, if that monster has truly been completely and utterly destroyed, that would be the best outcome for the current situation.

Because no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any trace of that monster, so the only explanation for this situation was the current outcome.

Itsuka Shido and the other two girls couldn't help but look ahead, towards the spot where the monster had originally been.

then.

"Huh…?"

At that moment, Itsuka Shido felt a touch on his right shoulder.

Someone is touching me.

…No.

Almost instantly, the scene before him changed dramatically.

In that instant, Itsuka Shido was pulled back a step by someone.

"Varied--?!"

It was even more astonishing than a motorcycle suddenly flying past you while you were crossing the street.

What appeared before Itsuka Shido in that instant was something like a crack.

It is located where it was originally standing.

Boom—!! Like a balloon being popped, something came and stopped right where Itsuka Shido had been standing.

In reality, that was the sound caused by the shattering of space.

In other words.

"Roar! Ro ...

It was like a roar from the deepest part of the world, echoing across the entire sky.

On the surface of that space where actual red cracks had appeared, something emerged from it.

The things that come into view.

It was a hellish, burning, blackish-red glow.

"Well--?!"

"That, that guy is—!"

Itsuka Shido and the other two girls all showed expressions of utter shock.

"Oh dear... it seems that the monster from before hasn't disappeared yet."

"Kuang, Kurumi...?"

Looking back, Itsuka Shido realized who had pulled him back a step earlier.

At this moment, Kurumi Tokisaki was gazing at him with a meaningful smile on her face.

"It seems you now owe me a favor."

If Tokisaki Kurumi hadn't pulled him back just now, his current situation would have been quite obvious.

Even if one possesses the special ability to recover after dying once, is it really possible for this ability to work against monsters of that level?

Thinking about this, even he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Thank you, Kurumi..."

"It's okay. Actually, if it's Shido-kun, I can do anything for you~ Of course, as long as you don't say anything too strange like before."

That's such a strange thing...

Considering Kurumi's current situation, it's completely unrealistic to even think about directly pursuing her right now, right?

Itsuka Shido nodded deeply.

"So, now..."

Bang!

The demons of the abyss reappeared directly in front of them.

The scarlet eyes and the crater in his chest were almost identical to before... but then, something terrifying happened in the next moment.

The demon's arm then rose.

A dark, flowing light, completely unlike anything he had ever seen before, began to swirl around his fingertips.

"That is…?"

"What is that...?"

Everyone looked utterly puzzled.

For an instant.

The demon, whose belly had already been ripped open, with actual wounds on its chest and abdomen.

At this moment, he directly adorned his chest with that dark, flowing light.

A dark, shimmering light flashed, and then—

The gap that should have been torn open returned to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Your injuries...have healed?"

"What is this?! I've never heard of anything like this before!"

Once the injuries are healed, it means that everything Accelerator and Kakine Teitoku did before was meaningless.

However, Accelerator and Kakine Teitoku did not show the same astonished expression as the others.

"That's exactly what happened."

If you think about it carefully, you'll realize that monsters of that level are simply impossible to defeat so easily.

He recovered from his injuries, and even made a full recovery in one go.
