[ "Don't you understand that you are the 'weakest'?! Since you want to die so badly, I'll turn you into an interesting decoration." Accelerator, standing on top of the container, leaped lightly and landed on the ground.
He glanced at the cargo tilted out of the container and then sensed the airflow.
"It seems to be flour inside the container. There's no wind today, so this might be very dangerous."
Kamijou Touma, who hadn't reacted yet, felt quite bewildered and could only stay put, observing his opponent's moves.
"Yo, trash! Do you know about dust explosions?" Accelerator stomped his foot lightly on the ground, and the huge container instantly rose into the air, floating.
Seeing this, Kamijou's heart leaped. He instantly understood Accelerator's intention. Turning his back on Accelerator, he just wanted to escape this vast space filled with powder.
"They say if there's powder in the air, just a little spark can make the oxygen burn much faster! It's like the entire space turning into a giant bomb!"
Kamijou wasn't listening anymore... He ran forward without looking back, just wanting to escape this area as soon as possible.
Run, run, keep running!
Before he could get far, the huge containers collided with each other under Accelerator's control, and the sparks generated by the collision instantly ignited the area filled with flour powder.
"BOOM—"
Accompanied by a piercing explosion sound, a dazzling fire shot up into the sky, like igniting gas vaporized in the air. The entire space exploded violently, flames and hot winds scattering outwards.
Although Kamijou Touma had just managed to escape the flour-filled area, the impact force from the explosion sent him tumbling onto the rubble. However, he was at least spared from being caught in the explosion.
However, the difference between a dust explosion and a regular bomb is that the fuel for a dust explosion is the oxygen in the air. The explosion instantly depletes the oxygen in the entire space, causing a rapid drop in air pressure.
"Gah... ah... Hah!"
The drastic change in air pressure still caused Kamijou Touma's internal organs to be severely squeezed, and he could only lie on the ground, gasping for air.
Due to the sea of flames, the entire parking lot became brightly lit.
Accelerator walked nonchalantly in the purgatory of crimson flames he had created.
"I thought I was going to die. Losing oxygen isn't good for me either. It seems the slogan 'unafraid of even nuclear bombs' should be retired." ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Holy crap, how are we supposed to fight this?! When I first saw the flour, I thought it was Kamijou Touma's move against him, but I never expected it to be Accelerator's!"
"Not only is his ability monstrous, but he's also smart. Looking at Accelerator, I thought he was just a thug who wouldn't understand dust explosions, but I didn't expect him to be a scholar."
This terrified everyone outside the video. They never expected Accelerator, who looked like a pampered young master, to understand these things.
They thought that given Accelerator's personality, he would be the type to be in the last row of the classroom, only participating in physical activities when absolutely necessary... in other words, a slacker.
~Detective Conan World~
Dust explosions were not unfamiliar to Conan; in fact, he was quite familiar with them. Combined with Accelerator's final statement... Conan rubbed his chin, his mind racing.
Suddenly, a flash of light shot through Conan's mind, and he revealed a confident smile,
"I got it~!"
"The fuel for dust explosions is the oxygen in the air. If a dust explosion occurs in a sealed space, the air pressure will rapidly decrease, creating a vacuum... This might be a way to defeat Accelerator!!"
Conan's statement did not receive the praise of the two scientists beside him; instead, it was met with two eye-rolls from Haibara Ai and Professor Agasa.
Haibara Ai glanced at the empty space on the screen and said indifferently,
"Do you think this is a sealed space?! Little genius."
"Uh..."
Reminded by Haibara Ai, Conan's mind instantly cooled down. It seemed there was some logic to that.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"An opponent like this is unimaginably strong, or rather, it's a miracle that Kamijou Touma is still alive."
Rin Tohsaka looked at Accelerator, who had looked relaxed the entire time, with some shock.
It seemed that Accelerator hadn't even gotten serious so far. A mere stomp of his foot had almost knocked Kamijou Touma unconscious.
"My Mystic Eyes would be a very good means of dealing with him."
Medea knew that physical attacks would be ineffective against such an opponent, so she could only attack from the mental aspect.
( Translator-kun: Nope, ur Mystic Eyes won't work on Accelerator because any harmful light to Accelerator will just automatically be reflected. )
"But Touma doesn't have that kind of ability. He only has the right hand that can nullify the opponent's abilities..."
Shirou Emiya was also worried for Kamijou Touma. If he couldn't get close, his right hand would be useless!
"What a magnificent explosion..."
Meanwhile, the residents of Fuyuki City felt a sense of déjà vu, or rather, empathy.
Those citizens really had the sleep of infants; they didn't react at all.
One could only say, How are the residents of Academy City doing?! I didn't expect you all to be so 'nuclear' peaceful.
For some reason, some people like to fight in secret.
Can't people get a good night's sleep anymore? It makes them sleep with one eye open now, afraid that they'll wake up to find their homes gone...
.....
[ Accelerator's tone was as if he were chatting, appearing very relaxed. In this hell of flames, he could still maintain such a posture, which truly made Kamijou feel fear.
"..."
Seeing Accelerator slowly walking over, Kamijou quickly bent his body to brace for impact, assuming a fighting stance.
In the glare of the raging flames, Accelerator tilted his head slightly like a child, looking at Kamijou Touma: "So, what do you plan to do by taking that stance?!"
"Honestly, your ability being so poor is also a kind of luck. Because you're too weak, 'Reflection' can't exert its maximum effect."
In the sea of flames, Accelerator began to clap his hands, seemingly appreciating Kamijou Touma's courage, and directly praised him: "You've done well enough to still be breathing in front of me, Accelerator. So... give me liberation!"
Then, he arrogantly spread his arms wide and provocatively spoke to Kamijou Touma: "Choose a hand you like to touch, and just by doing so, you'll die from blood or bio-current backflow."
"Right hand?! Or left hand? Or both?!" With that, Accelerator shifted his foot, and a deep pit instantly appeared on the ground. He grinned and charged towards Kamijou Touma! ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Holy crap!! An opportunity presented on a silver platter, why refuse it? Do you even need to choose?! I'd definitely choose the right hand, there's a surprise with that hand!"
"This is the legendary villain who dies from talking too much, and the arrogant soldier who is bound to lose. He should have fought from a distance, but he insisted on close combat."
"Blood backflow?! You're overthinking it. If you touch the right hand, you'll be silenced directly, turned into an ordinary person like him."
"Damn it, Touma Kamijou, who you worked so hard to get close to before, couldn't even touch you. Now you're kindly delivering yourself. If you don't punch him hard, wouldn't that be a betrayal of your good intentions?"
"It has to be said that Kamijou Touma's ability is really suitable for surprise kills. Now everyone is looking forward to what kind of expression Accelerator will show when Kamijou Touma actually hits him."
.....
[ The distance between the two was originally tens of meters, but with Accelerator's light step, it was shortened to zero. Like skipping stones on water, he arrived in front of Kamijou in the blink of an eye.
"THUMP!!!"
Kamijou reflexively closed his eyes and swung his right fist forward with all his might. Since his vision was blocked, Kamijou didn't even know where his right fist would land.
With a dull thud, the expected reflection didn't happen. Accelerator took a punch straight to the face and was sent flying, landing on the rubble and struggling to roll.
"...?! ??!"
The first one to feel surprised wasn't Accelerator, who had taken the hit, but Kamijou Touma, who had thrown the punch.
Because he never expected to hit, and Kamijou believed that even if this weak, powerless punch landed, it would be insignificant.
"The moon?!"
But at this moment, Accelerator was briefly knocked unconscious. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw the moon in the sky.
"Why am I seeing the moon?! Because I'm lying on the ground. Then why am I lying on the ground? That guy..."
Accelerator was completely bewildered at this moment and began to question his life while lying on the ground.
"No... I should be asking why he's standing there with all his limbs intact. What's going on? It hurts... I can actually feel pain?!"
Accelerator reached out and wiped his face, then looked at the blood in his hand, still in disbelief.
"I was sent flying?! Impossible!! Then his arm should have been broken. He shouldn't even be able to touch a single hair on me." ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Poor child, now he's been beaten to the point of doubting his life. He must have been at the peak for so long that he never imagined anyone could touch him."
"Hahaha, seeing him look so dejected and on the verge of being depressed is incredibly satisfying. I didn't expect Kamijou Touma to be completely unharmed after punching you. You must be completely stunned."
"Awesome!! So awesome..."
This was the emotion that surged through people from other worlds when they saw Accelerator's bewildered and questioning look. It was just too satisfying.
It has to be said that Accelerator's ability is indeed invincible, but he seems a bit fragile!! He was punched by Kamijou Touma, causing his nose and eyes to bleed, and he was even briefly knocked unconscious.
And this was Kamijou Touma in a weakened state. If he were in good condition, wouldn't this punch have ended the fight?!
~A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City~
At this moment, everyone in Academy City showed expressions of disbelief. Did this LV 0 actually defeat the LV 5 Accelerator?! Were they dreaming?
"That guy! He actually did it."
Misaka Mikoto stared blankly at the screen. She had used all her strength and couldn't even touch a strand of his hair, yet he was knocked unconscious with just one punch.
On the other side, Accelerator was also somewhat lost in thought.
He was actually bleeding?! How long had it been since he was hit and bled... or rather, how long had it been since someone had touched him?
"Kamijou Touma... I'll remember this name."
Dealing with him is actually very easy. As long as I use long-range, wide-area attacks or break his right arm, then he can't do anything to me.
Fortunately, I didn't follow my usual habit of letting Kamijou Touma punch first. I'm well aware of my body's endurance.
