Fortunately, this is a remote area far from human habitation. If a village like the Human Village happened to be within the range of that shockwave…

The consequences would be disastrous.

Accelerator landed on the top of a tree and gazed intently into the distance once more.

This time, he also sensed another aura.

A familiar scent emanated from him.

"That guy... he's actually over there?"

With a slightly surprised expression, Accelerator rushed forward without hesitation.

A streak of light then flashed across the sky.

The first one, moving in a straight line like a missile, gradually accelerated and disappeared from its original spot in an instant.

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

Today is an extremely hot day in Gensokyo.

Although it's only early summer, the weather is already at a level that would make most people complain. It's not a comfortable time for either humans or some monsters.

Fortunately, some of the girls received some notices and went together to a remote island to escape the summer heat, which made the usually bustling Gensokyo quiet down.

Yes, the entire Gensokyo is currently in a very peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

—Except for a certain place.

Boom——! ! !

The light swept across the ground.

The fresh grass was instantly scorched by the straight beam of light, and not only that, the beam of light swept forward at an even more terrifying speed, completely destroying an area of ​​about 100 meters.

A figure then fell from the sky.

"As expected of you... truly a powerful figure who doesn't know how to hold back at all."

"It's precisely because they are strong that they don't need to hold back at all."

A crack appeared in mid-air, and within the crack were countless terrifying eyes.

Sitting on the edge of that crack is the youkai sage of Gensokyo.

However, she was not alone.

Another figure landed, but unlike Yukari Yakumo, this figure landed on both feet and floated in the air without relying on any special power.

even so.

Simply by standing still, the oppressive aura she exuded was already no weaker than that of the great demon who could manipulate the power of all realms.

"This is really great. It's been a long time since I've had such a pleasant and enjoyable battle with an opponent of similar skill level."

"Quite? Is that really the case?"

"Oh dear... what else could it be?"

Yukari Yakumo unfolded her folding fan and laughed easily.

Her identity is that of the most unfathomable, or perhaps the strongest, youkai in Gensokyo.

The power to manipulate boundaries means that she can possess the immense ability to control both creation and destruction, an ability that is unmatched by any other youkai in Gensokyo, both in its nature and intensity.

In addition, given her terrifying wisdom and title as a sage among demons, there are very few people who would want to be her enemy.

However, that did not include the figure in front of them.

"In my opinion, the so-called 'equal level' should mean that the two people are evenly matched."

Like Yukari Yakumo, she was also holding something else in her hand.

It was a parasol.

Although this umbrella is not as gorgeous as Yakumo Yukari's parasol, it still has the effect of highlighting her unique temperament.

The woman holding the umbrella was dressed in a red and white outfit, similar to a dress.

The red parts are all decorated with a checkered pattern, and even the skirt is the same color.

Her beautiful hair was a pure green, just like nature itself.

As someone who stands in opposition to the demon sage, her eyes, those blood-red pupils, show absolutely no fear whatsoever.

"The Sage of Youkai, Yukari Yakumo... To be honest, you haven't made me feel that we are on equal footing."

The sheer weight of just one sentence is enough to demonstrate the level of her abilities.

Yakumo Yukari narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I haven't used my quick wit in a long time, have I?"

"You'll soon find out whether it's just talk or not."

then.

In response, the girl stomped on the ground without hesitation.

Like a fighter jet, it shot out in a straight line.

Bang——! !

In an instant, the figure that was originally in the same spot vanished.

In the blink of an eye, a claw-like hand appeared before Yukari Yakumo.

Squeak-!

In an instant, she opened her own gap.

The other person's hand then sank into it, but her expression did not change. Instead, she moved her body with even greater force, pushing her hand even deeper into the gap.

Something was approaching from behind Yukari Yakumo.

"Humph…"

She chuckled softly and swiftly slipped away from the gap in her own body.

—Pfft.

At that moment, the spot where Yukari Yakumo was originally located was mercilessly struck by a hand that reached out from the gap.

Although the attack missed, the force of the blow was so great that it even shook the space around the gap.

"As expected of you, Kazami Yuuka."

"Even if someone considers themselves noble, shouldn't they at least come down and speak to others to show proper manners, Yakumo Yukari?"

The Sage of Yokai, Yukari Yakumo.

The queen of flowers in all four seasons, Yuuka Kazami.

The two men sneered at each other, and then charged toward each other at pure speed.

—A muffled explosion.

The area where they were located, with a radius of about 500 meters, was subsequently attacked by an overwhelming force.

The overwhelming force caused the ground to drop by about ten centimeters, crushing even the surrounding grass and rocky soil.

Only a sunflower field about 100 meters away from the battlefield remained completely undamaged.

Even at this point, can't you bear to see your flower field destroyed?

Yakumo Yukari quickly flew up from below into the air.

She unfolded her folding fan and opened the dozen or so gaps without hesitation.

"Spell Cards".

From the dozen or so gaps that opened up, hundreds, even thousands, of purple-white bullets burst forth.

"The boundary symbol: 'The Boundary Between Form and Emptiness'—!!"

This is a skill that involves the interplay of space and power.

No matter how Kazami Yuuka tries to dodge, she can only rely on physical methods to evade.

These gaps will continuously open around her, releasing barrages of attacks. Even if she escapes to the border of Gensokyo, she will have no chance to escape these attacks.

"Who said I was going to hide?!"

The girl planted her parasol on the ground, forcibly stopping her rapidly moving body.

Boom! ! !

She raised her fist, and with an overwhelming force, slammed it directly into the barrage of bullets that followed.

Click—click click click—!!

Then, even the sky itself exploded.

"oh…?"

"No matter what kind of ability you use, whether it's a realm or a gap, do you think I would bow down in the face of pure power?"

With a single, simple strike, he distorted space and subsequently broke Yakumo Yukari's spell card.

Not only that.

Kazami Yuuka got up again and flew towards Yakumo Yukari with even greater speed.

Purple and green, two figures crossed paths. The green one concentrated all his magic power in his hand, intending to crush the enemy in front of him with the most decisive punch.

However, Yukari Yakumo managed to evade the enemy's attack in time by taking advantage of the gap.

"No, this suits me better."

A sense of unease then washed over Yukari Yakumo.

She frowned immediately and turned around—but it was too late.

The location of Yuuka Kazami is on the top of a mountain.

then.

She raised her hand high like that.

"Spell Card! 'Fantasy Spring Blossom'!!"

A golden sunflower was then gathered in her hand.

The flower's radius was approximately tens of meters, and it was a form she created using pure magic.

However, the target of her attack was not Yukari Yakumo.

Under Yukari Yakumo's watchful gaze, Yuuka Kazami smashed the flower onto the mountaintop in one breath.

Click——! ! !

In an instant, the mountain, hundreds of meters high, collapsed.

"you…!!"

"Aren't you good at using spatial abilities to evade? Well then, how about this move?"

With a gentle smile, she easily sent the mountain, which had been split in two, flying away.

One relied on pure kicking, while the other used a parasol to punch.

—This guy's actions are way too much!

For the sake of battle, they were even able to split a mountain in two, which made even Yukari Yakumo swallow hard.

Of course she could do that too, but—this is Gensokyo.

If such a large-scale attack were to occur, it would be no laughing matter for Gensokyo.

"Don't think this is the end of it."

boom--! ! ! !

At the same time, a green and white light flashed.

Yukari Yakumo quickly raised her parasol and fired a purple-white magic cannon with the same power.

Their powers intertwined.
