I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

'Anyway, be careful. That knife hasn't been analyzed yet; it might be made of some material I don't know, or use laws I don't understand... Reflection can't be stopped, but try to avoid being attacked by her as well.'

'Disappeared—'

'Did he shorten the distance again with his ability? Will he reduce the reflected vector when the blade touches my body?' Accelerator's fingers trembled slightly as an idea flashed through his mind. His calculations ran wildly, directly controlling the surrounding air—

To attack knowing that one has the ability to fire, or to simply withstand the attack without any preparation, would be extremely unwise.

At the same time, he lightly stomped his foot, flicking several pebbles from the ground into his hand.

The air begins to compress, forming a protective film on its body surface.

The next moment, he felt the protective air barrier on his shoulder being sliced ​​open—

Chi-

In an instant, he threw the pebbles he was holding toward the sky!

'That's fast!'

He missed. He sensed it; the girl who had appeared in mid-air vanished as the pebble hurtled past at supersonic speed. She reappeared beneath him, gripping a blade in both hands, its sharp edge gleaming coldly, and lunged towards his other shoulder.

Chi-

The footsteps left a large vector trail as they retreated backward, while countless pebbles began to scatter all around them.

'Disappeared again—no! Did it foresee my actions?' Accelerator's pupils contracted. This time, a blade stabbed out from his right side, a place that could be considered a blind spot, leaving him unable to react for a moment.

There was no time to attack, and no time to dodge.

The only way to withstand it is by relying on the air protection on the body surface and the reflected vectors.

prick--

"Ugh—Aaaaaah!!"

Accelerator felt a sharp pain in his shoulder; the blade seemed to have pierced through his defenses, leaving a long wound on his arm.

The pain caused him to break out in a cold sweat on his forehead in an instant.

The next moment, a kick came straight at his head and sent him flying!

"You despicable scoundrel!"

hiss--

With a wave of his arm, the air seemed to form countless blades that slashed outwards.

The surrounding buildings collapsed. This time, there was no one to suppress his output. Accelerator simply waved his hand and used the vector carried in the air to cut through two of the surrounding buildings.

"what?"

As Accelerator regained his senses from the pain, his pupils contracted as he looked around at the two buildings that were beginning to collapse.

Could it be—?

Who else got involved?

After carefully assessing the situation, Accelerator wiped the blood from his nose and covered his right shoulder before finally letting out a sigh of relief. This situation had not occurred, and it seemed that the pedestrians around him had already dispersed long ago.

"What am I doing... Hahaha..." Accelerator said, head down, "Damn it... You actually... You actually made me feel so much pain! You actually made me feel pain... Not bad! You lowlife!"

“However, this is the end!” Accelerator said with a grin.

Since there's no one around, I don't need to consciously control my power anymore, right?

Accelerator is very clear about what his power represents... With this power, it wouldn't be surprising if he were to become an enemy of the world at some point.

"Gahahaha————"

Accelerator manipulated the surrounding air to create a sealed space: "So, what else can you do?"

but...

What about people?

Accelerator looked around, then looked up at the sky, but there was no sign of Ryougi Mana...

Disappeared...did they run away?

......

underground--

Ryougi Mana, who arrived here using alchemy, still had her eyes closed, and was currently directly below Accelerator.

Generally speaking, given Accelerator's physique, it would be quite normal for Ryougi Suke's kick to decapitate him instantly; such powerful force might even produce a beautiful, blade-like cut.

but.

Ryougi Mana's current attack methods are actually somewhat similar to Kihara Shinken.

In reality, he didn't actually knock down Accelerator; what injured him was his own vector.

Kihara Kazuto relied on his understanding of Accelerator's calculation method, while Ryougi Mana relied on intuition.

The feeling that "my blade should stop here, my attack should stop here"...

However, because she had to retract her power, Ryougi Mana, who hadn't yet adapted, couldn't unleash her full power in that attack. That's why her attack just now was so weak, only enough to make Accelerator bleed a little from the nose.

but--

"Very good... I feel familiar with it now... So let's shut down our sense of taste as well."

......

boom--!

Suddenly, cracks appeared in the ground, and a golden chain shot out from the ground, but it was deflected by the vectors around Accelerator before it could touch him.

At the same time, countless stone spears formed from mud appeared, and they were also deflected the moment they approached the passage.

"These are some really strange things—" Accelerator looked down at his feet, the wind gathering on his back, making him fly.

but...

Was the zoom-in and zoom-out capability not being used?

So what was it that pierced through its own vector before?

No, in the end, a mere LV4 ability couldn't possibly shrink his reflection, not even LV5 could, because he is Accelerator!

What makes him stand out is not his ability to perform 'vector operations', but his computational power.

If his ability is Railgun, and Misaka Mikoto's ability is Vector Manipulation, then he would still be number one, because at that time he would be able to easily break through other people's 'reflections' with his own attacks.

Therefore, he was extremely confident, confident that he would absolutely not—

boom!

"Alright, the outcome is decided!"

Chapter 1194 The True Victory or Defeat is Over

"The outcome is already decided?"

Accelerator suddenly turned around and threw a punch—

"Hahahaha—it hit! I felt it! This time it definitely hit!" Accelerator laughed as he watched Ryougi Mana being sent flying. "You were saying 'the battle is over' just because you got close to me? What a joke—!"

"Well..."

Ryougi Mana felt a slight sweetness in her throat. Although she had used her ability to shrink the vector, she had still been hit quite hard. However—her intuition had clearly told her that her attack just now should have ended the battle.

But why—?

Why did it fail?

However... she did feel the danger after saying those words, but by then it was too late to react.

Although I tried my best to defend myself, I still suffered considerable damage. Even if I wanted to recover from such an injury, it would take several seconds.

But... what I need to know now is the reason, why I failed, why my Zanpakuto's techniques failed.

I've already used a lot of techniques; if there's anything I haven't used yet...

Bankai?

No, no.

My Bankai has such a wide range that it can't distinguish between friend and foe. Unless there are only myself and the enemy within a five-kilometer radius, I can't use my Bankai.

"I don't know why you were so confident in saying 'the outcome is decided' just now," Accelerator said, his fingers slightly twisted. "But, what you're trying to say is that you've lost, right?"

Accelerator looked at Ryougi Mana, and... the Zanpakuto in her hand.

The sound just now was a little strange. After she said something like "Speak, cut straight ahead," he tried to disrupt the relevant vectors. The vectors attached to his body surface were no longer reflected, but scattered.

The vector image attacking it spreads out in all directions.

Simply put, bullets that would normally hit you would bounce off, but now, bullets that hit you will fall down.

Sure enough, Ryougi Mana's hand then stopped moving behind his neck.

Do you think you've hit the target?

"Hoo..." Ryougi Mona took a deep breath: "Although... I'm not entirely sure what's going on, let's try again and see how it goes."

This time, I'll shut down all my senses except for touch.

When one's perception of the surrounding atmosphere reaches its limit, the extent to which one's intuition can function naturally also reaches its limit.

Then...

She released her double.

The Stand began to possess the ability to shrink, spreading towards Accelerator and attempting to reduce the vector on his body.

Simultaneously.

The two elements disappeared in the very last instant!

'Here we go again?'
