19 seconds.
There were only 19 seconds left before the explosion of the small hydrogen bomb and the destruction of Academy City.
However, there was still a dangerous distance of at least 20 meters between the Preceding Article and the Observatory where the detonation device was installed.
If it was a normal sprint test, this distance would be nothing for a normal high school student. Or rather, it would be a piece of cake to the extent that he could do it with his eyes closed.
However, the one who blocked the 20 meters between life and death was Tsurugi, whose body had been modified and could shoot at the two of them at any time with a machine gun.
(That guy is the biggest obstacle … if we can avoid his sight and go to the Observatory …!)
However, there was no time for that. By the time everything was done, 19 seconds had already passed. The small hydrogen bomb would explode and bring about a devastating blow to Academy City.
The spire platform with a radius of about 25 meters, probably to make it easier for tourists to sightsee, had no obstacles except for some standing binoculars and a small table for placing flyers.
In other words, the Preceding Article couldn't find good cover. As long as Tsurugi fired, everything would be over.
(But … against this "known" object with live ammunition, it seems that the first person is a thousand times more skilled than me!)
The one who rushed towards the Beret man was the strongest monster in Academy City.
The powerful recoil cracked the ground, and because of the high-speed airflow wrapped around his body, even his figure couldn't be seen clearly. The white-haired, red-eyed esper rushed forward with a momentum like a raging wave!
The strengthened glass shattered in an instant, and countless crystal fragments exploded and splashed in the air like rain. Even the cracks on the floor spread violently, and even the fixed steel bars were bent and deformed.
The Preceding Article instantly understood Accelerator's intention.
Because of the limitation of vector control, Accelerator needed to solve everything in the shortest time possible. And the simplest and most violent way was — —
Destroy the top of the spire.
"Tsk … So annoying, no matter who it is, no matter when, they're always talking like idiots … If it was me — —"
He opened his five fingers and clawed forward.
In fact, it was a mass of air that was violently compressed by Accelerator's ability. Forcefully changing the flow of air and condensing it was a dangerous product like this.
"Can't you just mess up this boring game from the start?!"
It was an extremely powerful force that could even blast a large hole in the entire observatory.
The bullets that were raining down on him had their trajectories deliberately changed. It didn't go back the way it came. Instead, it deliberately created a ricochet effect and bounced back without any pattern.
Its purpose was to destroy the detonation device of the observatory.
— — and to kill Tsurugi.
Although that was what he thought, Accelerator was still surprised when he actually tried it out.
Although the reflected bullet hit Tsurugi's body, the strong impact didn't seem to affect the tall man. Tsurugi absorbed the bullet's propulsion without saying a word. Then, he suddenly puffed out his chest!
A black metallic luster could be seen from the bullet holes. In other words, the scarred man named Tsurugi was made entirely of metal.
— —
(Even his body is made of hardened alloy?!) Although he still seems to retain human consciousness, this bastard is no different from a killing machine …!)
While thinking this, Accelerator subconsciously restrained his strength.
11 seconds left.
It wasn't because he was afraid of harming Zhanqi that he was so naive. In this life and death situation, the first thing Accelerator considered was the structure of the detonation device.
If he guessed correctly, the device should be attached to a cumulative vibration detonator. Although the air mass didn't explode immediately, it was probably about to exceed the critical value.
In other words, if he acted rashly again, it was likely to cause an explosion.
"That's why you have no chance of winning, stinky brat!!"
Taking advantage of the moment when Accelerator's attack slowed down, Tsurugi turned his mechanical arm and launched a barrage. Following the sound of "ka ka", several bullets burst out from the barrel!
This time, there were 16 bullets.
For Accelerator's "reflection", it wasn't enough to be feared. Everything that touched the surface of the white-haired, red-eyed monster's skin would be reflected back the way it came, and it wouldn't hurt Accelerator at all.
However, it still made Accelerator's expression turn serious.
Using the reflected bullets, Tsurugi deliberately disturbed the air in this space. In this way, Accelerator had to divert some of his energy to adjust the calculation formula to avoid accidental impact causing an explosion.
With only 9 seconds left, this was undoubtedly fatal.
(Is he … using my thinking pattern?!)
Faced with a new round of whistling bullets, Accelerator widened his eyes in disbelief.
If he "reflected" Tsurugi's attack again, the error would only increase, and after a certain vibration index, a small hydrogen bomb would be detonated. However, if they continued to drag this out, they would run out of time and lose everything.
Between a rock and a hard place.
Facing this predicament, the strongest monster in Academy City suddenly opened his mouth and bloomed into a crazy smile.
(Ahaha, this is interesting …!)
The more desperate the situation was, the more he could feel the supreme pleasure of wandering on the line between life and death, almost making his heart explode.
(Ahhh, this situation, it's so cool!!)
He reached out and opened his five fingers.
With this simple action, Accelerator caught something at that moment.
The bullet with a muzzle velocity of 247 m/s was firmly caught by the monster's fingers. It was a simple action, but Accelerator used his ability to do an action that was impossible for humans.
That's why he was called a monster, that's why he was known as the strongest.
— 6 seconds left.
Although he had great strength, this action alone couldn't defeat Tsurugi.
No, because a considerable part of his body was replaced with strengthened alloy, even bullets wouldn't have much effect on this man.
"You can't win. You're just a kid who's still wet behind the ears!"
With this roar, Tsurugi pointed the gun protruding from his arm at Accelerator!
Since ordinary bullets would be reflected, then what's the point of using strengthened anti-personnel bullets? Even if the anti-personnel bullets didn't have any effect, it was fine as long as it could stop Accelerator.
But Tsurugi immediately realized his mistake.
Can't stop, can't stop Accelerator's action at all.
The white monster slightly rotated his finger, retracted his finger slightly, then flicked it away. Just by changing the movement of his hand, the bullet left his hand and flew in the opposite direction.
His target wasn't Tsurugi.
But — — Tōma Jōjō.
"Indeed, I might not be able to defeat you in a direct confrontation, but so what?"
Accelerator laughed.
At this moment, he admitted his weakness and left the rest to his companions. This wasn't because he was unwilling to give up his position, but because he recognized the hedgehog head boy from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not just one person, there's a useless person over there who's a huge hindrance!!"
— 3 seconds left.
The bullet rotated and hit the back of the Preceding Article. With the strength of a normal bullet, it was enough to shatter the unfortunate boy's bones.
But as if on purpose, Accelerator wrapped the bullet in air, greatly reducing the damage of the bullet to the Preceding Article.
Then, with the help of the bullet's propulsion, the Preceding Article's entire body was ejected.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh, make it for me!!!"
The distance was greatly shortened. Ignoring the crisp sound of bones, the Preceding Article leaped into the air.
He extended his arm to the maximum limit, lowered his center of gravity, and twisted his body into a pose that was extremely burdensome for him at this time.
The switch of the detonation device was in front of him.
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more and we'll be there!
This was the key to ending everything.
If he could successfully press the switch, this painful and long story could come to an end, and the things he cherished could be protected.
The Preceding Article rotated his body, ignored his center of gravity and reached out his hand, and climbed up the edge of the platform like lightning.
Then, his finger pressed down hard on the switch.
With unprecedented determination and determination, he pressed the cut-off button of the detonation device.
The timer stopped at 0.37 seconds.
— — In other words, he succeeded.
— —
— —
The moment the Preceding Article pressed the button, the top of the spire suddenly shook violently.
It wasn't like the vibration that Accelerator deliberately created before, but the terrible consequences caused by the shaking of the foundation and the destruction of the supporting points.
Before he could react, the Preceding Article was pulled up from the ground by Accelerator. But this time, the force was obviously much weaker. It seemed that Accelerator had turned off the electrodes in order to conserve power.
"Leave quickly, this place is going to collapse soon."
"Eh? What is … "
The Preceding Article quickly understood. After the battle between Accelerator and Tsurugi, the pillars supporting the top of the spire had been intentionally or unintentionally destroyed.
On the one hand, it was to destroy the detonation device, and on the other hand, it was to get rid of Tsurugi's pursuit.
This continuous battle wasn't easy for Accelerator. He had to worry about the power of the electrodes, and he had to pay attention to not let the vibration coefficient of the detonation device increase, so he had to carefully control the strength. But the most difficult thing was — —
— — — The wound on his abdomen.
Perhaps it was the Preceding Article's illusion, but Accelerator's wound didn't seem to show any signs of stopping bleeding, and the red and black bloodstain seemed to be expanding again.
(Although on the surface, he still seems to be at ease, but is he really forcing himself?)
Of course, if Shang Jue found out that Accelerator didn't heal his wounds when he used his ability, he would definitely be extremely panicked.
If he wanted to control the blood flow to reduce the injury, he would need to use all of his calculation ability, and he wouldn't be able to fight at all.
Thus, Accelerator had chosen this extremely dangerous path.
From the beginning, it was a path of life and death.
…
Facing the dark night sky, the two fearlessly rushed out of the glass window.
332 meters in the air, the chilling cold night wind swayed their bodies, and the whistling sound of air rushing against their eardrums was in their ears.
As if they were being pulled by an invisible hand, their bodies fell rapidly, and even their bones made a terrifying cracking sound as if they were about to break and reconnect.
The seemingly short few seconds became extremely long and painful because of the fear and curiosity in their hearts.
Accelerator originally planned to control the vector to cushion the fall before landing.
However, an unexpected event still happened.
Following a deafening explosion, a scorching air current and a blinding light attacked the two of them!
(Wah … What's going on?!)
His body was suddenly pushed back a few meters, and the scorching flames seemed to be about to jump onto his body. The Preceding Article awkwardly adjusted his posture in the air and narrowly avoided the spiraling vertical pillar.
It was Tsurugi's attack.
Although it didn't hit the two, it brought about more dangerous consequences — —
Next to the two people who were falling, the glass shattered.
As if it was raining crystal fragments, sharp lumps pierced toward the Preceding Article! Because he couldn't dodge in the air, the Preceding Article would probably turn into a real hedgehog in the next second.
He couldn't dodge.
Even his thinking mechanism froze in an instant, and he couldn't react at all.
He would be pierced by glass all over his body, and he would suffer the threat of death. The Preceding Article was fully aware of this, but he couldn't move his body at all.
At this moment, he heard an angry click of the tongue. His ears were already filled with the sound of the explosion, but the Preceding Article still heard Accelerator's voice.
Then, Accelerator turned on the electrode under his horrified gaze.
The first person's words a few minutes ago echoed in the Preceding Article's ears. If he remembered correctly, Accelerator could only use his ability three times, and now, it was the last time — —
If he used his ability to save him, then he wouldn't be able to cushion the fall between the two. In other words, one of them might fall to their death.
Then, Accelerator's intention was … …
"Stop, ahhhhh!!"
Shouting with a sobbing tone, Kamijou roared out a cry of grief.
Since he chose to save the Preceding Article's life here, it meant that Accelerator was prepared to give up his life.
He clearly wanted to avoid this situation as much as possible, and he clearly made an oath to save Accelerator, but he still couldn't stop this from happening.
His body couldn't move, and he couldn't even struggle a little. He couldn't even put up any resistance.
The white-haired, red-eyed esper put his hand on his shoulder. In the dazzling firelight, in the pitch-black and lonely night wind, Accelerator gently nudged his body.
Then, an indescribable radiance flashed through those seemingly cold red eyes. It seemed like he was smiling, but also seemed like he was thinking. The first person's mouth twitched.
In the end, he didn't say anything.
He didn't even say goodbye, and he didn't even want to express his feelings.
Like a leaf fluttering in the wind, the Preceding Article's falling path was easily changed in an instant. The Preceding Article felt the change in momentum, and his body was pushed in the opposite direction, away from the center of the explosion, and also away from the white figure.
As if he lost the most important thing, the Preceding Article's eyes became empty. His hand kept reaching out, as if he wanted to desperately grab onto something, and he forcefully reached out in one direction.
Then, at the end of the acceleration, he felt his body was gently wrapped in air. In the end, Accelerator still reached out to help him, using vector to change the direction of the air flow to slow down the impact.
The Preceding Article laid on the cold horizontal pillar, and his hand reached out to the pitch-black night sky. The cold wind swept through his fingers, and it hovered in the air, making a low whimper.
Accompanied by the desolate night wind, the Preceding Article covered his eyes with his arm. He seemed to be smiling, but also seemed to be crying. He clenched his teeth and let out a trembling groan.
This time, he really shed tears.
…
Sixty-one meters down from the spiral staircase, which was roughly where the Preceding Article was, there was a spiderweb-like surface of steel bars.
Although the distance between the bars was not far, and one could easily jump over it, if one lost their footing, they would fall through the gaps. A height of 271 meters from the ground would kill a human without a doubt.
The Preceding Article carefully walked forward along the steel bars, and he stretched out his arms to try to balance his center of gravity to avoid falling.
He stopped in his tracks and raised his head to look ahead in a daze.
At the intersection of the radial steel bars, there was a round platform. A large cylindrical metal block was placed on the round platform, and a considerable amount of steel wires were fixed there. It seemed to be a pillar used to support the spiral shape.
Next to the pillar, the familiar white figure was leaning against it.
The Preceding Article's heart suddenly trembled, and he immediately quickened his pace. Without caring about the sense of balance and the danger of falling at any time, he rushed to Accelerator who was sitting on the ground.
He was both anxious and hesitant.
At the moment, he was most concerned about Accelerator's safety, but he faintly resisted the courage to confirm the truth with his own eyes.
Ah, only now did he realize how afraid he was of losing Accelerator.
A pair of legs that were moving crazily came to a stop.
Then, he trembled as he looked at the first person in front of him.
Soft white hair that shone with a luster due to the light, the iconic thin striped clothes, and the slender but powerful body.
And the red eyes that had been drooping, and finally looked up when the Preceding Article came in front of him.
"You're so slow. Look at that dumbfounded look … Did you become stupid from the fall? "
The same tone as always, and the attitude that seemed to be constantly mocking him.
The Preceding Article stood in place in a daze, and for a long time, he choked out intermittent words from his throat.
— A sentence that blurted out without hesitation, and later made the Preceding Article regret it.
"You … didn't die?"
— —
— —
The Preceding Article covered his swollen cheek after being punched by Accelerator. The Preceding Article kneeled next to the round table and wanted to cry but had no tears.
"You bastard, you're getting more and more arrogant. If I knew earlier, I would've let you be pierced by the glass during the explosion … This kind of ending is called a happy ending."
Accelerator slowly moved his wrist and looked at the Preceding Article with a gloomy face.
Probably this time, he was really angry, so the strength of the punch was particularly fierce. The Preceding Article couldn't help but sigh. The first person didn't train his muscles, or else his brain would've been splattered all over the ground.
Even though he was beaten up by Accelerator, he was still able to maintain his composure. The Preceding Article still fearlessly continued to complain.
"No … Who told you to set up such an obvious death flag before! Generally speaking, the next development is a heroic declaration and then a heavy memory … Guh!! "
Another punch to the head was unceremoniously punched.
"Do you really want to do all the scenes by yourself?!"
"To be honest, I do want to do that … Wait, wait, I'm just dealing with a little Mr. Ujō, don't pull out your gun!!"
In the end, they still messed around for a long time.
When it finally quieted down, both of them were exhausted. The Preceding Article looked at each other and suddenly laughed out loud. His tense body also relaxed at this moment.
It was like the nightmare that had been troubling him for a long time had finally dissipated, and he finally had no more worries in his heart.
Accelerator suddenly said as he looked at Shangjue in annoyance.
"Before … I adjusted the electrodes to limit the power on the basis of ensuring speech and thinking ability, so even if I can't use my ability, I can still talk to you."
"Then … how did you get out of the explosion just now?"
"At that time, the power to use my ability was indeed exhausted, so I used the airflow generated by the explosion as a buffer and landed in a position that could absorb the impact of the ground. The most important thing is … "
Accelerator raised his head slightly and gestured with his eyes.
"… That cylinder, the top end is soft rubber."
The Preceding Article looked at the metal pillar that Accelerator was leaning against and imagined Accelerator falling on it and then carefully climbing down. He couldn't help but smirk.
Seems … a bit cute? No, if he continued to think about it, he would laugh out loud and then get shot in the head by Accelerator …!
He desperately tried to hold back his laughter, and even the expression on his face became stiff. Shangjue looked at the person in first place who was looking at him with a puzzled expression. That look of being kept in the dark made the corners of his mouth twitch even more.
It was at this moment that Kamijou really felt that it was great to see Accelerator.
Since he was able to meet Accelerator, it could be considered a miracle.
Of course, his gratified expression was extremely strange in Accelerator's eyes. The First Article tilted his head and looked at his expression, then suddenly said.
"Come closer."
"Huh?"
In response to this inexplicable request, Shang Jiu uttered a monosyllabic word of surprise.
Accelerator looked at him indifferently, then raised his head slightly and sneered.
"Can't you hear me? Or are your ears just a piece of junk? I told you to come closer. "
(I, I heard you … But what kind of strange request is this! Does he want me to come closer so that he can punch me, or better yet, aim at my head and give me a headshot?! No … I should think in a better way, maybe he just wants me to kneel down and say something like "lick the soles of my shoes" … In short, it doesn't seem good at all!!!)
After listing all kinds of possibilities in his mind, the Preceding Article felt sweat seeping out of his palms.
The biggest crisis in life, and the other party was a temperamental Accelerator who could destroy the world in the next second.
He walked closer in fear, and his two trembling knees seemed to be twisted together, and he couldn't take a step forward. The Preceding Article's chest violently heaved up and down, and he stared at Accelerator with a frightened expression.
“？”
Accelerator stared at the Preceding Article in confusion, then he looked away as if he was throwing a tantrum.
Then, suddenly, he was caught off guard.
The First Article grabbed the Preceding Article's neck and pulled his whole body closer to him. The warm breath sprinkled on the Preceding Article's exposed skin, and the Preceding Article felt a burst of palpitation.
"Eh? … Eh? Wait … What's this situation? "
With one hand around the Preceding Article's neck, and the other hand holding the metal cylinder, the First Article's body was intimately attached to the Preceding Article, and the body temperature from the thin clothes made the Preceding Article's heart beat faster.
Accelerator lowered his head, and from the Preceding Article's angle, he could only see the First Article's white hair and somewhat thin shoulders. Accelerator's hand that grabbed his shoulder trembled slightly, and the Preceding Article asked helplessly.
"Accelerator …?"
Then, the First Article took a deep breath, and the fingers that grabbed the Preceding Article's shoulder suddenly exerted force. At that moment, the Preceding Article even had the illusion that he was going to be pulled down! He finally stabilized his body, and just as he was about to speak, he was choked back.
Accelerator was holding his shoulder and gasping in pain, and the expression of forbearance made the Preceding Article's heart tremble.
Lowering his head to look at the first person, he discovered that Accelerator's back had been forcefully torn open. Blood had already dyed the back of his shirt to the point that it was unrecognizable, and he could vaguely see the ghastly bones underneath.
Falling from a high place wasn't as easy as Accelerator said. In fact, the First Article's back and left leg were pierced and scratched by the sharp metal rod, and he suffered more serious injuries than the Preceding Article imagined.
"Ugh …"
The First Article let out a small groan. He originally wanted to stand up with the help of the Preceding Article, but because of the wound on his leg and the loss of his crutches, he couldn't stand still.
The Preceding Article's heart was also filled with anxiety, and he simply used his right hand to carefully wrap around Accelerator's waist, trying to slowly keep him standing. However, it failed. Accelerator's body tilted and hit the chin of the Preceding Article, and the two people rolled on the ground.
If the Preceding Article hadn't stabilized them in time, the two people would have rolled off the round platform and fallen 200m to their deaths.
"So dangerous! We were really going to die!! "
The Preceding Article wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and just as he was about to say a few more words, he was interrupted by an unhappy voice.
"Get out of my way before you spit out your nonsense."
What made the Preceding Article break out in cold sweat was his and Accelerator's posture at this time.
Just like how the protagonists in comics would often push someone down, at this moment, he was pressing Accelerator to the ground.
In order to stabilize the two people and prevent them from rolling off the round platform, the moment the Preceding Article fell to the ground, he grabbed the First Article's wrist and waist, so now he was in a — — clamping Accelerator's hand and forcefully pressing him down.
He had never seen the First Article up close before. The Preceding Article's heart beat violently.
The red eyes in the slightly messy white hair stared at him reproachfully. Maybe because of the pain, the eyes were slightly blurred and seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.
Seeing Accelerator like this, the Preceding Article's cheeks couldn't help but burn. As if the embarrassment was also contagious, the First Article turned his face away and used his arm to push against the Preceding Article's chest and whispered.
"Get out of my way."
Because he was in a weaker state than usual, this trembling voice didn't sound like an order, but more like a compromise.
This slightly hoarse and weak voice woke Shangtiao up abruptly. He got up embarrassedly and helped Fangtong up, allowing the first person to finally sit up.
It seemed like Accelerator wanted to throw everything that had just happened to the back of his mind and escape from reality. After fiercely glaring at the Preceding Article, Accelerator returned to normal and slowly spoke.
"When you fell, your portable terminal … Where is the backpack with the portable terminal?"
The Preceding Article touched his side, but as expected, he didn't find anything. He awkwardly smiled and scratched his head.
"It doesn't seem … here?"
Accelerator sighed and looked at Shangjou from the corner of his eyes, as if he had expected this to happen, as if he was looking at an idiot.
"I knew an idiot like you would say this … 34 meters to the east from here, your backpack is dangerously hanging there."
The Preceding Article didn't expect Accelerator to be able to tell the location of the backpack so quickly and accurately. The Preceding Article was a little stunned.
Just then, the First Article pushed him on the shoulder. As if urging him, Accelerator said impatiently.
"Okay, hurry up and get the portable terminal. Don't stand here and be an eyesore."
"Yes, yes, yes … I'm leaving, Master Accelerator!"
After being pushed by Accelerator two or three times, the Preceding Article reluctantly walked away. The unpredictable attitude of the First Article made him really confused. One second ago, he was waving his hand, and the next second, he was going to punch him.
After dawdling for a moment, he turned around to look at Accelerator, who was resting with his eyes closed, Shang Gou said carefully.
"I'm leaving."
"…"
"I really have to get the portable terminal."
"… You're so annoying!!"
After being reprimanded like this by the first person, Shangjo looked at Accelerator with a silly smile. His red eyes were filled with anger, and he suddenly became silent.
After a long time, he slowly said.
As if he was saying his last farewell, as if he wanted to imprint the white image in his mind, he used his eyes to trace the figure of the First Article.
"— Take care of yourself, Accelerator."
Accelerator's eyes widened in surprise.
Then, behind the Preceding Article, the First Article let out a contemptuous and triumphant laugh.
"You're so annoying, why are you still nagging at a time like this?"
The Preceding Article chuckled and walked away.
He walked towards the location mentioned by the first person. It was 34m away, and it was the 12th steel bar from the back.
He really trusted Accelerator from the bottom of his heart, so — until now, he didn't want to doubt Accelerator.
Without hesitation, he bravely moved forward.
Tōma Jōjō rushed in that direction.
…
After confirming that the Preceding Article's figure was basically far away, Accelerator let out a long sigh of relief. Most likely, the previous owner knew about this as well. Accelerator wanted to transfer him away from this place.
The First Article adjusted his breathing a few times.
Then, in a sitting position, in a pitiful position where he could barely stand, he slowly took out the gun from his chest.
His vision became pale due to excessive blood loss, and he could barely raise the gun in his hand. This heavy piece of metal did not seem like a self-defense weapon to Accelerator. Instead, it became a heavy burden.
Accelerator struggled to support his body as he struggled to stand up. If one looked closely, the First Article was already covered in cold sweat. His eyes lost focus due to the intense pain. Even the metal pillar on his back was dragged out by this forceful movement.
Tōma Jōjō had already left this place, and he wouldn't be able to make it back any time soon. He had lost his ability, was heavily injured, and could barely stand.
Under such a disadvantage, under such a desperate situation. What came next was his own hell —
"This is … the final moment."
With that said, the white monster raised his gun and pointed the trembling muzzle at the real Berserk Beast that slowly walked out from the shadows.
The moment the top of the spire exploded, he escaped unscathed with his steel body. This scarred man wearing a Beret was Accelerator's most terrifying enemy.
Perhaps Accelerator was certain that even if the two of them worked together, they wouldn't have much of a chance of winning, so he deliberately lured the Preceding Article away. At this moment, when the small hydrogen bomb was stopped, there was no need for the First Article to defeat the man in front of him.
So, he was just a sacrifice.
He was just a sacrifice to stall for time.
(What a mess, me.) But … there's no need to complain about this fact.)
Although he was unwilling and regretful, he already had a rough idea of the future. The powerless was right. From the beginning, he had already set up a death flag. It was just a matter of time.
(Since I can't escape, I should at least play it big at the end.)
He thought of the Huang Quan River, thought of Yoshikawa, and thought of his final work. They, who had always cherished him, were probably looking for his whereabouts in worry right now.
But there was no need for that.
— Because tonight was the moment to end everything.
The man also raised his gun and aimed at Accelerator. What was about to greet the first one was a maniacal laughter and sixteen bullets whistling towards him.
Even so, the white monster still smiled contemptuously.
"— Then, let's have a showdown, Tsurugi -kun."
As if it was an invitation, as if he was toying with him, Accelerator spoke with his tattered and miserable appearance.
In order to welcome the final moment.
