Touma Kamijou didn't have time to think; his body's instincts made him lunge to the side.

But the pebble still grazed his cheek, leaving a small cut on his skin from which blood instantly seeped out.

He wiped away the blood from his wound, his pupils contracting slightly: "What kind of ability is this?"

"Hahaha—" came Accelerator's maniacal laughter in response.

Accelerator's eyes were full of disdain: "What? I thought you were so great. I was just careless. Don't get too cocky!"

With a single whip kick, the steel frame next to him instantly collapsed.

Several steel bars soared into the air under vector manipulation, shooting towards Touma Kamijou at such speed that they left only afterimages.

"Since once isn't enough, I'll beat you until you come to your senses!" Touma Kamijou didn't back down; instead, he charged towards the steel bars.

He nimbly weaved through the rubble, dodging the whistling steel bars, while constantly closing the distance to the other side.

As Touma drew closer, Accelerator's eyes blazed with fury: "Let's see! Will your fist touch me first, or will I tear you to shreds first!"

This time, Accelerator did not dodge either. He simply focused intently on Touma Kamijou's movements, using his vector coverage to its fullest extent.

He dismissed his previous defeat as a momentary lapse in concentration, but this time, with his mind focused and fully alert, I refuse to believe you...

But the next second, Touma Kamijou's fist slammed solidly into his cheek again!

"Bang!" A dull impact rang out. Accelerator felt an even stronger force than before, and his body was sent flying backward again. He rolled several times on the ground before stopping, feeling as if all the bones in his body were broken.

"Impossible!" Accelerator lay on the ground, trying to stand up by supporting himself with his arms.

He clearly activated his ability to cover his entire body the whole time, so why was he still hit?

"Damn it! Why did this happen?!" He slammed his fist on the ground, instantly creating a spiderweb of cracks.

Just then, his gaze fell on Touma Kamijou's right hand.

An unbelievable thought suddenly popped into my head: Could it be... that right hand?

To verify this hypothesis, Accelerator launched another attack.

He stomped his foot, and the ground in front of Touma Kamijou suddenly exploded, sending shards of rock flying and blasting him away.

Immediately afterwards, countless sharp pebbles, manipulated by vectors, shot towards Touma Kamijou, leaving bloody marks on his arms and thighs, and his white shirt was instantly ripped in several places.

This time, Accelerator saw it clearly.

Whenever a vector-manipulated spike comes into contact with the opponent's right arm, the vector added to the spike is immediately cleared.

"Hahaha! So that's how it is! It was all your right hand's trick!" Accelerator laughed maniacally as he watched Kamijou Touma fall to the ground in a sorry state.

Now that we know the other party's abilities, dealing with them becomes much simpler.

Accelerator then mocked, "You should feel honored. No one has ever been able to leave a mark on me before. You are the first... and the last!"

After saying that, he stomped his hands heavily on the ground.

Accelerator's tone became even more arrogant: "I'll show you the difference between mortals and gods!"

At first, Touma Kamijou thought the other party was joking, after all, who would claim to be a god?

Until he saw... dozens of containers beside the dock suddenly rise into the air and, under vector manipulation, crash down on Touma Kamijou.

Meanwhile, countless steel bars and metal fragments were also mixed in between the containers, and a shadow that blocked out the sky instantly enveloped Touma Kamijou.

As Touma Kamijou looked at the oncoming containers, he felt powerless for the first time.

With such a large attack range, even if he could mitigate some of the damage with his right hand, he simply couldn't dodge this tsunami-like onslaught.

"This is something no human could do..." He clenched his right hand, trying to resist, but knew it was futile.

Seemingly noticing the other's disappointed expression, Accelerator arrogantly declared, "Do you see the difference between us? Despair, be afraid, and then die with reverence!"

Kamijou Touma felt powerless, while Accelerator was quite pleased with himself.

At this critical moment, a black figure suddenly crossed the dimensional barrier and appeared in front of Kamijou Touma.

"...Who are you?!" He recognized the figure in front of him.

Although I don't know their name, I can confirm that they are the one who rescued Misaka Mikoto.

But instinctively, he immediately warned the other person, "It's dangerous here, leave quickly!"

Because a large number of heavy objects were about to fall.

Kirito didn't turn around, but his words were clearly heard by Touma Kamijou: "It's alright, leave it to me..."

What I'm entrusting to you, don't do anything foolish!

Even if it's just one life, it's still a life. Right now, Touma Kamijou just hopes that the other party can leave quickly in that strange way.

But the other party showed no intention of leaving. Instead, they drew their black and white swords and stood in front of Touma Kamijou.

The Explainer naturally retrieved them before taking the Misaka Sisters away.

Then, to Touma Kamijou's incredulous gaze, the black and white swords seemed to come alive, their flashing light forming an impenetrable net of swords.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The container and steel bars crashed into the sword net and were instantly cleaved into pieces, with metal fragments falling to the ground like raindrops.

Kirito wielded his longsword so fast that it almost left a blur. In just a few seconds, he shattered all the objects that were thrown at him, leaving a thick layer of metal fragments on the ground.

“Wow… so awesome…”

Kamijou Touma stared wide-eyed at the black-clad swordsman who had suddenly appeared before him, his heart filled with shock.

If Accelerator's ability surprised him, then Kirito's dual-wielding style was simply breathtaking.

After all, in his view, Kirito did not use any abilities at all; he simply used his superb swordsmanship to cut down all the dozens of shipping containers in the sky.

Just as he was stunned, Kirito turned around and looked at him, a faint smile playing on his lips: "You look like you really need help."

"Oh... help, help is definitely needed!"

On the other side, Accelerator roared angrily upon seeing the figure: "It's you again, you black bastard! Did you think you could beat me this time by teaming up with me?!"

Kirito ignored Accelerator and whispered to Touma, "The plan is simple: I'll block the frontal attack for you, and you get close to him and punch him!"

Touma Kamijou nodded, stood up, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "I understand... and thank you for earlier."

Now, the two protagonists' gazes meet on Accelerator.

Accelerator looked at the two standing side by side and almost laughed in anger: "Both of you are defeated by me. What makes you think that you can beat me together?!"
