One-way traffic

At the same speed as before, Accelerator's body broke the sound barrier in an instant.

That was merely the aftershock of the storm caused by the body.

With just this one simple impact, a terrifying gust of wind exploded outwards.

Click.

Along with the wreckage of those carts, the monster in the air was torn apart to the point that not even a single particle remained.

The white figure wasn't even stained with a single speck of dirt.

"Let's take action. Now is not the time to worry about this person."

"But, is he alone...?"

"He's the kind of person who doesn't warrant our concern at all."

Alice's explanation of Huiyin was very simple.

At the same time, his tone was very calm.

"Although he is just a human, believe me, it is still okay to entrust all this to him."

"...I understand. Then please help me out, Miss Alice. There are still quite a few people over there who need support!"

"Yeah, I would have done it even if you hadn't said anything."

The girls have already begun their own actions.

Then.

Should the battlefield then return to a standoff between monsters?

Accelerator stood alone in the same spot.

Now that all the unimportant people have left, there's no need to worry about all sorts of trivial matters.

Under the cover of night, the various overturned objects caused some flames to ignite on the streets, but that did not stop the number of monsters from continuing to increase.

Almost all the monsters moved toward him.

So, I wonder if it's just a misconception.

Accelerator vaguely sensed that these monsters seemed to be more aggressive towards him than ordinary people.

Gollum—

And then something even more amazing happened.

Apart from the one that I had just completely destroyed without leaving a trace, all the other injured monsters had recovered.

That is to say-

"Typical physical attacks are ineffective... is that what you mean?"

While it's possible to completely destroy the opponent until not a single particle remains, that would be far too troublesome for Accelerator.

If it doesn't rely on skin contact, even the strongest phenomena it causes are just ordinary secondary physical phenomena.

These monsters are special; they are unconventional monsters that can regenerate even if their heads and limbs are broken.

In this case.

"So I don't need to follow ordinary rules of physics anymore..."

then.

Other things emerged from the monster's hands.

A silver pistol and a scythe with a dark red tip.

After setting the cane aside, the first person immediately raised his pistol and pointed it directly at his temple.

The number of monsters has reached dozens.

Even so, the person in first place still didn't feel any pressure whatsoever.

Bang——! !

The crisp sound of gunfire rang out.

However, the bullet did not penetrate the head of the man.

Relying on the reflection, the bullet was fired in the opposite direction according to his calculations, thus hitting one of the monsters between the eyebrows.

Boom! A scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere exploded.

Even monsters that have lost their upper body cannot be prevented from regenerating unless their entire body is completely destroyed from the beginning.

"That's enough."

But the first monster seemed to have already accepted the outcome and put away its pistol.

He casually swung the sickle, a faint red light slowly flashing at its tip.

The next moment.

The burning flames engulfed the monster's entire body, which had been pierced by the bullet.

Not only that.

The flames, proportional to those of the monsters, spread directly towards the remaining monsters, just as those monsters had used to kill them before.

The first person clearly understood that ordinary shooting was simply not enough to stop these monsters' activities.

Therefore, he stored the fire of the scythe, named Nathos, in the bullet, and then used it as a medium to spread it to the monsters around him after it hit the monster's body.

As for whether the karmic fires of hell will affect the surrounding environment, the first person doesn't need to worry about that at all.

He is the strongest Level 5 esper in Academy City.

In other words, no one can beat him in either destruction or the precision of his power control.

Logically, this should be the end of it.

The karmic fire belonging to Nathos will burn away all these scum in one go; their power alone is no match for him.

however.

In the final moments before being engulfed by the flames, the monster's body reformed.

"What are you doing?"

Accelerator looked somewhat surprised.

The monster's remains... they coalesced together, then gradually grew larger and larger—

A gigantic figure, over ten meters tall, appeared before our eyes.

How could they possibly coalesce before their death? Not just splitting apart, but even combining?

This can no longer be considered the domain of monsters.

Compared to the unpredictable nature of monsters in myths and folk tales, the nature of these monsters reminded Accelerator of a different kind of thought.

Man-made monsters created through scientific experiments.

Both his actions and his very existence reminded him of this situation.

"Ha, that's more like it."

Faced with a figure that was over ten meters tall, the first person instead displayed a peculiar expression.

A bloodthirsty, belligerent smile.

"It wouldn't be fun otherwise. Even a warm-up should last for at least a few minutes. Only a dozen seconds have passed since the start, how can it be considered over?"

Since coming into this world, I haven't made a single move.

It's rare to encounter such a great opportunity for battle. How could someone who is already the strongest possibly remain patient?

The stronger the prey becomes, the more it stirs up one's passionate nature.

then.

Just as Accelerator's slaughter was about to begin—

A miraculous sound came from the sky.

"The Dream Seal Collection—!!"

It was as if colors burst forth from a fantasy and descended upon the world.

Red, pink, blue, orange, green... a variety of giant orbs of light converged directly on the enormous figure in front of them, their size constantly increasing.

Even with just a glance, Accelerator, who could observe all energy, instantly noticed something.

Those orbs of light contained unparalleled and immense energy.

That's it.

All the orbs of light converged at one point, instantly engulfing the giant monster in front of them.

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

pat.

Someone's figure then fell to the ground.

The interplay of red and white light compelled the human to look around.

"…strangeness."

She revealed a somewhat subtle expression.

"I have a feeling there are other people around here... but why can't I find them?"

Ultimately, the one who solved all of this was not the first monster.

Rather, she is a priestess from the world itself, a paradise of miracles.

Chapter 410 No Longer Alone

"How's the situation over there...?"

"According to what the people who just ran over there said, a young man stayed behind and was responsible for holding off the monsters' attack."

"What, are you kidding me? One person? That kind of monster killed several people in one go. Are you trying to send this young guy to his death?!"

"Calm down. I heard from the people who came over earlier that the riots over there seem to have stopped... And didn't you notice? Those monsters are very fast. Even if we run at full speed now, we definitely can't escape."

"Yes, yes, but even now we seem to be fine..."

"What you're saying does seem to make sense... Ah! If that's the case, then—?"

"Could it be that that person... has already wiped out all those monsters?!"

Discussions continued to emanate from the vicinity.

As the argument raged, Kamishirasawa Keine and Alice turned their gazes directly back the way they had come.

There was indeed no movement at all over there.

Not only that, the entire street became extremely quiet, and small flames were lit along the surrounding streets.

Such a relatively harmonious scene could only lead them to one conclusion.

"Could it be..."

"That human... has really defeated those guys...?"

If it's true, it seems a bit unbelievable.

How could such an incredibly troublesome monster be dealt with in such a short time...?

However, if that were true, it would be an excellent help to the village.

The two immediately followed the villagers over.

Although Alice is a mage and not human, she still cares deeply about the village.

If possible, she still wants to try her best to completely limit the harm people can cause.

The two arrived here faster than anyone else.

but.

What the eyes saw was not the same person as before.
