Shen He handed Accelerator a quick-healing bandage.
Shen He welcomed battle, after all, there was experience to be gained, and there was no danger. No matter how strong the enemy, they couldn't pursue a Master and Servants who directly returned to another world.
"Mikoto, how's your investigation going?" Shen He asked on the way to the battlefield.
"... " Mikoto Misaka's expression suddenly darkened, but she quickly recovered. "Of course, the investigation is almost done. Academy City's current armed forces, dark side members, and Last Order's location have all been investigated. I was planning to tell you all this information today."
"In that case, let's see if we can rescue Misaka Misaka today." Shen He made this decision.
"... Yeah!"
After a moment of silence, there was a short but powerful response.
No one spoke again, everyone just hurried towards the battlefield where Touma Kamijou was.
In a daze, a flash of lightning illuminated the dark street.
It wasn't a flash caused by superpowers, magic, or anything else. It was genuine lightning from nature itself. The proof was the booming thunder from the horizon, followed by the patter of small raindrops hitting the dark city, where the streetlights were out. The surrounding air immediately turned cold.
Shen He didn't particularly like getting rained on because his clothes would get wet and cling to his body.
So, he simply summoned his Teigu, Demon God Armor, to cover his entire body.
This also made his senses extremely sharp.
Thump, thump.
A muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground reached his ears.
"Someone."
Shiki Ryougi suddenly stopped, raising her longsword to block in front of her.
Near the battlefield, faint flames were already dancing. A gaunt woman had appeared on the street ahead, seemingly out of nowhere.
She wasn't holding an umbrella, just wearing a long, yellow dress-like robe.
A thin belt cinched her slender waist, and a cloth wrapped her hair. She looked like a woman with a slightly strange appearance. However—a large group of people lay on the ground around her, all fully armed soldiers or security guards holding shields.
Boom—!
Another violent explosion roared ahead.
Then a second, a third...
The sound of gunfire suddenly became intense, clearly indicating the special forces in front were encountering fierce combat.
"Accelerator." Shen He's voice was unusually calm. "Go around from the side first. If you encounter enemies, just handle them however you see fit."
"You mean, kill them all, right?!"
Accelerator's bandaged head looked a bit comical, but the madness and killing intent in his eyes grew increasingly intense.
He manipulated vectors to propel his body, leaping like a missile towards the high-rise buildings on either side, intending to bypass the people in front of him.
"Hee hee, heehee, it's espers, oh."
Strange, unsettling words were accompanied by the faint sound of metal clinking.
The woman raised her head. Her face, nose, lips, and even her eyelids were pierced with holes, and a chain as thick as a necklace hung from her extended tongue, extending to her waist, the end of which was connected to a cross-shaped ornament.
"Espers equal science. Science, heehee, must be killed entirely."
With a self-spoken declaration of war, the woman, seemingly out of nowhere, produced a hammer wrapped in barbed wire from her right hand and casually swung it.
Whoosh!
An invisible whooshing sound swept past at incredible speed, striking Accelerator as he was preparing to leave.
Then, as if a raging wind had been unleashed, the reflected attack circled in the air, creating a whooshing sound.
"This kind of underhanded attack!"
Hostility surged within Accelerator, and at that moment, a heavy sensation suddenly invaded his mind. It was the feeling of his body's oxygen inexplicably beginning to decrease.
Another strange ability!
With the experience of just being beaten up by a strange ability, Accelerator chose to obediently follow Shen He's instructions, increasing his control over his energy and jumping away a few times.
"He... he got away..."
After a brief moment of hesitation, the woman in front of them suddenly twisted her expression into a grimace. "He got away! Science! Everything science must be destroyed!"
The hammer she wielded continuously unleashed one ferocious attack after another. The ground, the tall buildings, the streetlights – everything around them seemed to be crushed by a steamroller, emitting a deafening roar. Even a raging storm formed, mixed with fine raindrops, destroying everything in its path.
Shiki Ryougi calmly swung her longsword, "killing" each attack that encroached on them.
Leveraging the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception's ability to observe the weaknesses of all things, Shiki Ryougi could, to some extent, exert an effect similar to the Imagine Breaker.
"Destroy, destroy..."
The woman's roar gradually devolved into a repetitive single word.
She seemed to finally realize that there were things here that she couldn't destroy, and her attacks toward Shen He and the others became increasingly concentrated.
"Hey! This is bad!"
Mikoto Misaka clutched her coins tightly, but Shen He remained silent beside her.
"Don't harbor any hostility, or you'll end up unconscious like those security officers."
Shen He spoke calmly. He recognized the person in front of them at a glance; it was Vento of the Front from within the ranks of [God's Right Seat], the most mysterious and powerful organization within the Roman Orthodox Church.
Vento of the Front possessed the "Penalty Caster," known as the "ultimate weapon among two billion," which could strip away the consciousness of anyone harboring hostile intent. Once caught, it was over until a way to break free was found.
Therefore, Shen He had been suppressing his hostility. This wasn't particularly difficult; he just had to think of the person before him as nothing more than a pitiful woman who had lost her beloved younger brother due to misfortune.
However, for Shen He, this also meant he couldn't attack, or even order others to attack.
And——
Something's wrong, very wrong.
The Vento of the Front in his memory should have been someone he could talk to.
But the one in front of him now was clearly just a madwoman.
"You should have said so earlier," Shiki Ryougi said, sounding annoyed. "I was waiting for your instructions. So, I can just go for it directly, right?"
Her long blade let out a faint tremor, and her body unhesitatingly leaped left and right, charging towards the enemy.
Hostility? She didn't have such a thing. All she possessed was pure killing intent.
Kusuo Saiki was in a similar situation. He was determined not to kill anyone with his psychic powers. All his attacks didn't target any enemies. He was merely helping Shen He to the best of his ability. So, Kusuo Saiki flew into the sky and used his psychic powers to assist Shiki Ryougi's attacks, striving to drive back the person in front of them in the shortest amount of time.
