BNHA: Accelerator The Strongest Hero

This type of super-speed lightning strike clearly falls under the category of a swift attack. 

Like a blitzkrieg or a trick, it aims to prevent the opponent from having enough time to think, aiming to disrupt their normal judgment.

This is something that breaks through the limits of mortal reaction speeds. The light emitted by the lightning strikes heading toward Accelerator hits its target the moment it's released. 

In an instant, it pierces through layers of air during its flight, transforming into countless hot sparks that splatter in the air, followed by rings of shockwaves.

The scene resembled a rocket accelerating through the atmosphere, except this time, it unfolded right on the ground.

That strike didn't completely pierce the last defense someone had built.

In fact, when Kiyama Harumi first showed the light cannon possibly containing the power of [Unknown Domain], he had already quietly started setting up a backup plan.

The storm of ultra-gaseous plasma gathered and compressed to its peak, forming plasma.

Also known as plasma.

One of the trump cards Accelerator was skilled at using, plasma comes with a magnetic field that naturally allows for functions like capture, movement, and acceleration.

In nature, more than ninety-nine percent of matter exists in plasma form. From the hot, high-temperature flames and dazzling lightning to the magnificent auroras, all fall within its scope of influence, extending to stars and even interplanetary space.

Thus, the light-speed lightning strike was captured by his backup plan.

However, capturing it didn't mean overcoming it.

What truly made Accelerator wary was the [Unknown Domain] power contained within the enemy's attack.

This force wasn't greatly affected.

The energy level from the mysterious non-natural power far exceeded the plasma shield.

However, the physical properties of the lightning strike subtly restricted it, like a world-class sprinter forced to race alongside an ordinary person while carrying someone on their back.

Both sides were locked in an indescribable stalemate, with the silver-white plasma shield colliding with the golden light-speed lightning. The rapidly changing beams expanded, spreading around them.

The golden and silver flames, along with the smoke they created, filled Eri's view.

Only Accelerator's figure remained in front of her, not disappearing or leaving.

In terms of time, it had only been about two seconds.

On the asphalt ground, now transformed into white crystal from the aftermath, Eri stood behind Accelerator.

The little girl was deeply concerned about someone's condition.

During the collision, much blood had dripped from his arms.

But Eri, whether in her clothes or her hair, showed no signs of injury or burn marks.

About a second later, the stalemate ended suddenly.

Both the silver and gold lights disappeared, with Kiyama Harumi being the first to lose her hold.

Everything was still under someone's control.

However, Eri didn't know what was happening to him. Though she knew he was still standing, she shakily asked with a quivering voice.

"Are... you still alive?"

The massive shadow that had been dispelled by someone now once again weighed heavily on Eri's heart.

Accelerator, standing in front, shifted his shoulders, then, in his usual tone, calmly reassured her.

"I'm not dead yet."

The light in the girl's eyes brightened again, clearly eager to step forward to check on him.

However, Accelerator spoke up to stop her.

"Don't come closer."

Eri's steps froze, and she gazed at his back, confused.

He continued his command.

"Stay where you are. The fight isn't over yet."

At this moment, with his right hand severely wounded and numb, Accelerator had gathered the crucial information hidden in the struggle between them.

The necessary information for victory.

For that, he once again confirmed all positions amidst the dispersing smoke.

His red pupils dilated and contracted as he took a step forward, and then his power, [Vector Manipulation], was fully unleashed.

With all his strength, Accelerator reached an extreme speed, dozens of times the speed of sound.

The shockwave generated by breaking the sound barrier formed a boundary in front of Eri, blowing everything away.

Whether it was scattered flames, smoke, or the remaining carbonized crystals, they all rushed out from the spot Accelerator stepped forward, the force spreading outward in a circle.

Eri's vision instantly cleared.

On the other side, Kiyama Harumi, wearing a white lab coat, was gasping heavily.

After the earlier attack, the woman had truly reached her limit, even to the point of being weak.

And she didn't even notice Accelerator's movement. While Kiyama Harumi was constantly using the endless energy from the other world to strengthen herself, enough to unleash lightning bolts reaching real light speed and even entering the [Unknown Domain], this didn't mean her reaction speed was on that level. 

It's like a semi-healthy couch potato suddenly being forced into the combat capabilities of a special forces soldier. But without any other extraordinary abilities, they still wouldn't be able to clearly track the trajectory of a bullet.

The order of attack and defense between them instantly swapped.

By the time Kiyama came to her senses, the telekinetic shield from her [Multiple Ability User] was shattered by a low upward kick, and she herself was sent flying quickly into the sky.

Just as Kiyama had tried to use [Air Walk], she was hit hard by an elbow strike from above.

Even with the true power of a [Multiple Ability User], Kiyama couldn't withstand Accelerator's attacks. Perhaps from the perspective of energy levels, Accelerator's super-speed close combat combos weren't as terrifying or as destructive as Kiyama Harumi's [Unknown Domain] abilities.

However, the damage from Accelerator's attacks could accumulate and stack.

This scene was like modern warfare, where Accelerator was the well-trained soldier armed with firearms and ammunition, while Kiyama was an ordinary person holding a rocket launcher.

If Accelerator could survive Kiyama's initial heavy bombardment, he would completely enter into the rhythm he controlled.

It seems the victory or defeat between them has been decided.
