As expected of a cat, Orange climbed trees incredibly fast. In just a few seconds, she used her limbs, which were about the size of a ten-year-old girl's, to quickly reach the top of the tree.

Standing high allows for a wider view, so Cheng easily saw clearly what was in the distance.

"...What, what is that?"

She couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"What is that?"

A huge figure appeared not far from the woods.

It looks like a human torso, but its surface is much deeper and looks like it has been scorched by flames.

Its massive body, with an overall height exceeding ten meters, could shake the entire earth with a single step it took.

Orange stared intently at the enormous creature, then slowly...

She noticed that the other person had also gradually turned their head to stare at her.

"—!!"

An indescribable sense of panic instantly filled his body.

As mentioned before, cats have a keen sense of perception, and Orange, being a cat demon, possesses an exceptional sixth sense.

She has an extremely high sensitivity to things like enemy detection.

The instant she made eye contact with that creature, an unparalleled sense of crisis instantly set off alarm bells throughout her body.

I have no idea what kind of creature it is.

But we have to run.

No matter where you run off to, you absolutely cannot stay in front of that kind of guy!

With that in mind, Orange decided without hesitation to leave the big tree.

Click.

Click click click click——

Immediately afterwards, everything in front of them began to rise gradually.

Before Cheng could even react, her body was already being shaken along with the tree beneath her. She quickly grabbed onto the branches beside her to avoid being violently thrown off.

Only then did she come to her senses.

The enormous humanoid creature, over ten meters tall, has arrived in front of this tree.

And he uprooted the tree with just one hand.

At this moment, Orange finally noticed that although the other party had limbs and a human-like body, its body surface had strange black and red patterns, which was not a normal human form at all.

In other words.

The other side was a real monster from the very beginning.

Crack! In an instant, the tree beneath Orange was crushed to dust, and her body landed not far in front of the monster.

"Waaaaaah...!"

He was thrown very hard.

When Cheng came to her senses, she was already surrounded by a huge, dark shadow.

The monster looked down and stared at itself.

And so, it slowly lifted its left foot.

"No, this is bad—!!"

Even the stupidest person has a limit, and Orange immediately realized that this was a very bad situation.

The alarm bells of life began to ring incessantly.

Followed by.

Just as the monster's foot was about to stomp down, its body swayed backward.

No.

An unusual white shadow, traveling at supersonic speed, crashed into its surface in an instant.

then.

After directly absorbing the impact of that figure, the enormous shadow collapsed backward like a stone pillar that had been shattered.

It's unclear what kind of power was used, but even such a huge humanoid creature couldn't withstand such an attack.

Subsequently, the entire ground was shaken.

The figure collapsed like a meteorite, and the earth trembled with unimaginable waves that almost instantly covered everything around it.

but.

Even with such a powerful force causing such a wide-ranging impact, not a single blade of grass or tree in the surrounding area was affected.

Someone forcibly suppressed and brought the power under control.

"This is incredibly annoying, what exactly are they planning to do?"

The apex monsters created by Academy City stood aside.

This being, who was above all others, didn't care about what had just happened. Even the fact that he had crashed into someone at supersonic speed seemed to be nothing unusual to him.

On the contrary, Accelerator showed great displeasure at the situation.

"Although I had already guessed that I would run into a bunch of bastards like this, and that guy named Yakumo Yukari had already mentioned it, I didn't expect to run into these bastards so soon. Are they in such a hurry to come and die with me?"

"Eh...? Um, you..."

Orange, who was hiding to the side, blinked, seemingly still not quite processing the situation before her.

The person in first place merely waved his hand impatiently.

"Shut up, this is no place for brats to interfere."

Clang!

At the same time, an even louder noise came from afar.

The rocks shook, and even the trees themselves were swept up.

The enormous figure, whose body length far exceeded ten meters, stood up again, completely unharmed.

Upon witnessing this scene, Accelerator displayed an expression as if he had expected it all along.

"Is it the same as before? As expected, relying solely on pure physical attacks, no matter how intimidating the move, is meaningless unless it can blast this guy to pieces... Tsk, this damn meatball bastard."

That attack was very powerful, perhaps even surpassing the level of pure military technology, but it still couldn't inflict any effective damage on the humanoid monster in front of them.

At the same time, the enormous, black and red humanoid monster turned its gaze back to this side.

Just being stared at is enough to feel a sense of oppression and suffocation emanating from the depths of one's heart.

Cheng, standing to one side, didn't dare to move an inch.

however.

The other person, however, was completely unaffected.

Even though the white figure could see the threatening roar of the humanoid monster and feel the oppressive atmosphere, it still didn't take it seriously.

He calmly raised his head and instead pulled his hands out of his pockets.

"Hey! What are you planning to do, human?!"

"I told you, if you're okay, then get out of here right now."

He didn't intend to give Cheng any room to answer, and directly made her cower to the side with a tone that left her no room to resist.

Even so, Orange still spoke with a trembling voice.

"No way! How can you defeat such a huge monster by attacking it... you'll get eaten! You saw it yourself, didn't you? No matter how strong you are, you simply can't solve it—"

"Ah, that's true. I'm surprised you could even see that... but I don't want you to keep rambling on."

With a gentle twist of his neck, Accelerator finally made a move.

His actions were very simple.

Place your hands on either side of your body, and then let your body float directly into the air.

It's like an astronaut experiencing complete weightlessness in outer space.

"Flying! It's flying! Humans can actually fly?!"

Orange below exclaimed in surprise. This kind of flight was quite different from ordinary flight ability, because most monsters rely on demonic power or magic power to fly, or rely on their own unique body to achieve flight.

But the human in front of me is different.

He did not rely on any special ability as a power source, nor did he use his hands or wings to flap back and forth to lift himself into the air.

He completely ignored gravity and floated upwards in a state of weightlessness.

As Accelerator flew into the air, he maintained a balance between his body and the surrounding forces, allowing him to hover in mid-air.

Reflection can reverse the direction of everything called force, meaning that if the number one monster is willing, even the gravity of the planet Earth will have no effect on him.

And so, the first person turned his gaze back to the humanoid monster.

Seeing that it had maintained a height of more than ten meters, even reaching the same height as itself, the humanoid red and black monster roared wildly, attempting to rush over and tear its body apart with its arms.

Ordinary physical attacks cannot destroy that kind of monster; this was something we learned a long time ago in the villages of the Human Realm.

Knowing this all along.

Accelerator raised his hands again, holding them high above his head.

Something quietly gathered together.

As a result of that phenomenon, the surrounding environment began to undergo drastic changes.

To be precise, the place that has changed is the sky itself.

Centered on Accelerator himself, a vast and powerful current of air continuously converged towards his hand.

If you simply compress air, all you'll end up with is overheated white-blue light or plasma.

However, no known power was generated in Accelerator's hands.

What condensed in his palm was a product that transformed directly from white to black.

"...It has indeed changed."

The first one seemed to be aware of this, but did not stop gathering power.

Over time, the black substance began to become even blacker, and even some purple lightning appeared on its surface.

That's no longer the result that can be obtained by simply compressing air.

Plasma, or any other natural phenomenon, could not possibly transform into such a bizarre and grotesque form.

A black current, even more astonishing than ball lightning, condensed and took shape in mid-air.

The orange below and the monster in the distance both froze in astonishment.

This kind of lightning is less like lightning in nature and more like a manifestation of the natural phenomenon of lightning in its observational form.

The black lightning of that kind is completely different in nature from the word "lightning".

It's as if it were a product summoned from another world.

The monster that embodies this unknown power shows no resistance or fear whatsoever.

Having fully concentrated that power, he then raised his hands forward.

Thus, the power moved along with his actions.

The black lightning, which had coalesced, transformed into a form like light and spread out completely.

Click click click click click—!

In that instant, a buzzing sound seemed to emanate from even time and space itself, as if it were wailing in agony.

Before the humanoid monster could react, a large amount of black lightning was already approaching from nearby, converging together and transforming into an even larger shadow light.
