Chapter 1031 VS. Electric Shock Master

Standing on the city wall, Lin Wuming could even see Sister Lidovia not far away. After hesitating for a moment, he prepared to jump off the city wall and leave the area of ​​Academy City.

However, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, followed by two electromagnetic cannons firing in a crossfire, blocking Lin Wuming's path of advance.

The Misaka sisters made their stance clear through their actions—they would not allow Lin Wuming to leave Academy City.

"Don't worry, I won't run away..." Lin Wuming turned around with a wry smile.

Then they saw Misaka Mikoto riding a cloud of iron sand, surrounded by dazzling lightning bolts as she descended from the sky.

Extending the line of sight further afield, one can see a group of Misaka Sisters on the rooftop of a building several hundred meters away, also looking this way from afar.

“Nameless senior, isn’t this enough?” Misaka Mikoto asked.

Lin Wuming turned to look at the observatory outside the city. Kamijou Touma had already arrived in front of Sister Lidovia. The two were facing off. The expected battle did not break out. Instead, they were exchanging information, or rather, arguing about something.

Just as Lin Wuming was wondering whether he should listen to what they were saying, he saw Kamijou Touma raise his hand and point to the sky, saying something loudly.

It seemed that Lidovia only noticed the dark clouds looming overhead at this moment, and she was immediately terrified.

Calculating the time, there's only one minute left before the fireworks display starts.

At this point, Lin Wuming finally breathed a sigh of relief and was completely at ease.

Before Lin Wuming could give an answer, Misaka Mikoto had already seen the answer she wanted from his expression.

"In that case, let's fight seriously, Nameless Senior!"

With that, amidst a high-frequency buzzing sound, the Iron Sand Sword, like a tentacle, swept out from behind Misaka Mikoto toward Lin Wuming!

Lin Wuming adopted the same strategy, gathering the diamond sand into a thinner but no weaker "tentacle" to meet the attack head-on.

With a muffled thud, the two men's moves collided, shattering into a cloud of dust.

This clash was like the sounding of the final battle horn. Misaka Mikoto burst forth with even more brilliant lightning, her entire body almost turning into a ball of light that was impossible to look at directly.

Amidst the cacophony of electrical noise, Misaka Mikoto's body blazed with electricity, almost filling the entire field of vision.

Lin Wuming suddenly turned around and raised his arm to block.

While his vision was being dominated by the electric light, Lin Wuming abandoned his sight and switched to using his telekinesis to scan the battlefield.

As expected, Misaka Mikoto used the lightning as cover while taking the opportunity to get to Lin Wuming's side and deliver a high roundhouse kick to his head.

Because her relationship with Misaka Mikoto has actually improved, and she has even become an "honorary member" of the Shokuhou faction, Misaka Mikoto has a very good relationship with the members of the Shokuhou faction. In particular, Junko Hokaze, the two of them are both Gekota lovers. It can be said that if it weren't for Misaka Mikoto being in the middle, they could have become close friends who could talk about anything.

Junko Hokaze's "Heavenly Garment" is essentially an electromagnetic superpower. Therefore, Misaka Mikoto, who stands at the pinnacle of "Electromasters," could theoretically reproduce a similar effect of "Heavenly Garment" through her own superpowers.

After exchanging ideas and learning from Junko Hokaze, Misaka Mikoto had indeed mastered the essence of this move. The result of her training was the kick she unleashed at this moment—as an "Electromaster," the quality she displayed in this move was unmatched even among physical enhancement-type Devil Fruit users!
Unfortunately, Misaka Mikoto's seemingly inevitable attack paled in comparison to Lin Wuming's; in terms of physical enhancement, Lin Wuming's Nen ability could achieve the same result, and in a more direct and brutal way.

Lin Wuming, who had devoted himself to this application field early on, can now directly strengthen his body at the molecular level. Even if he fights with the Drive Armor bare-handed, he will not be at a disadvantage.

As a result, Misaka Mikoto's fierce kick was steadily blocked by Lin Wuming, who also managed to lock her right leg in a counter-attack.

Despite having her right leg captured, Misaka Mikoto remained calm. Instead, she seized the opportunity to gather electricity towards her right leg and, using their bodies in direct contact, unleashed a point-to-point electric shock.

A loud crack was heard, followed by a burst of electricity.

Lin Wuming quickly released his hand and used his mental barrier to resist the electric shock; the two were thus separated, but at the same time, the iron sand and diamond sand gathered again into a wave and rushed towards each other.

The deafening roar, accompanied by a sandstorm that exploded everywhere, turned the battlefield between the two into chaos!

Lin Wuming's psychic attack and Misaka Mikoto's electric gun were like water being poured out at each other.

At close range, both sides are moving at high speeds, making aiming and locking on pointless.

Instead of painstakingly aiming at a target, it is more efficient to directly spray a wide-area attack on suspicious locations nearby.

The high-speed mobile battle lasted less than thirty seconds, and the two Level 5s' fierce fighting directly destroyed this section of the city wall.

The Academy City Border Management Bureau immediately triggered the highest level alert, but quietly turned it off after the reconnaissance drones discovered that it was Lin Wuming and Misaka Mikoto fighting.

Lin Wuming noticed the alarm in the distance, as well as the large drone hovering and circling in the distance, and also noticed the problem.

Misaka Mikoto's strong electromagnetic interference caused the alarm system of this section of the wall to be directly paralyzed, and any electronic device that approached this battlefield would malfunction, go out of control, or even be completely destroyed.

Only large drones designed for real warfare can withstand interference and conduct reconnaissance from a distance.

Despite the duel, Lin Wuming was unwilling to destroy his own city walls—literally, the border walls of Academy City.

Therefore, Lin Wuming consciously moved the battlefield away from the city wall area.

Misaka Mikoto noticed his subtle movements but didn't care. She simply continued to unleash lightning strikes, relentlessly bombarding Lin Wuming.

As for the widespread power outages and electrical faults in the surrounding areas, they are not worth mentioning.

At this moment, Misaka Mikoto is like an electrified hedgehog, making it impossible to attack her.

The violent lightning strikes caused by Misaka Mikoto even overshadowed the fireworks display; more and more people began to pay attention to the unusual celestial phenomena, but ignored the magnificent fireworks show that was in full swing.

—If this continues, it will be difficult to resolve.

Lin Wuming couldn't help but feel a little worried, especially since it was the time with the most visitors... If things weren't handled properly, it could easily cause a large-scale riot.

But Misaka Mikoto wasn't thinking about all that. She was already in battle mode, and everything else was secondary. At this moment, there was only one thing to consider—fighting!
