Chapter 207: Chapter 206: Kid, pay attention
At that moment, Chisaki Kai's furious voice came from above, having just crawled out from a lower shelter.
"Ahhhh! It's so dirty!!!"
Accelerator wore a knowing smirk. The purpose of that previous attack was not just to take out most of the minor enemies, but also to shatter all of Chisaki Kai's means of escape.
While it seemed that he always acted casually, his Nomu was constantly performing computations on the level of a supercomputer from another world.
Even if Chisaki Kai ran to the ends of the earth, he wouldn't be able to escape Accelerator's grasp.
Seeing the shadows in her heart, Badri's previously lively expression turned fearful again.
This time, Accelerator didn't just have the girl follow him as before. He gently patted the little girl on the head, then reached out his hand again, speaking softly.
"Kid, no matter how powerful your Quirk is, it can never hurt me."
Eri tilted her head slightly, her anger fading a bit. She asked timidly and with confusion,
"...Really?"
In response to her doubts, he took the initiative to hold her hand.
Nothing unexpected happened; only the little girl's hand felt a bit cold.
That was all.
Although his expression didn't change, he was generally satisfied.
Accelerator laughed recklessly at Chisaki Kai, who was raging above him.
"Hey, scumbag."
"How's the intel gathering on me going?"
Instead of waiting for the malicious ones hiding in the dark to come knocking one by one, it was better to take the initiative and crush them in their lair.
This was someone's simple thought.
Chisaki Kai also noticed the two of them. Due to his strong sense of cleanliness, he was the type who would get extremely worked up just from being near something dirty (like dust).
At first, he chose not to confront Accelerator, not because he thought he was weaker than the former dark AFO.
On the contrary, given the current situation in Area 11, Chisaki Kai's group, [Shie Hassaikai], was actually in a strong position. There was no need to go head-to-head with a powerful figure like [Vector Manipulation]. It would be better to shake things up and gradually establish a new order.
He repeatedly wiped the dust from his face with his sleeves and shouted in a frenzy.
"Vector Manipulation! And Eri?"
"I never intended to reveal my trump card so soon."
"You forced my hand!"
Chisaki Kai gently touched the ruined ground, and in the next moment, the earth shattered into tiny rock fragments, transforming into countless sharp stone spikes that rushed toward Accelerator.
This was the effect of the [Overhaul] Quirk, which decomposed the ground and "repaired" it according to his own will. The speed and power of this change were impressive, reaching the level of top-tier combat abilities in another world.
Chisaki Kai continued to emphasize,
"Eri, how many times do I have to say it for you to understand?"
"You're a natural disaster, destined to destroy everything. I've repeated this many times! Your reckless nature forces me to dirty my hands!"
"Every action you take is a step toward murder; you're a cursed being."
Accelerator felt Eri's small hand tremble slightly as the little girl looked at the white-haired boy and said,
"—No! I really still..."
Accelerator cracked a smile, his voice like a chilling abyss.
"Ha ha ha ha ha, you truly have a messed-up brain."
He then turned to Eri, who had lowered her head again, and said,
"Kid, watch closely."
With that, he took Eri's hand and walked through the sharp stone spikes created by the angry Chisaki Kai, both of them completely unharmed as they strolled casually.
Even though Accelerator showed such confidence, Chisaki Kai didn't panic. Instead, he admired the situation.
"I see, no wonder the dark king AFO, who once ruled us, wanted your Quirk."
"I think I understand his desire now."
If multiple attacks didn't work, what about concentrated single-point attacks?
Chisaki Kai touched the ground again.
This time, when [Reform] activated, the effect was drastically different.
The entire ruin of [Shie Hassaikai] transformed into twisted high walls that blocked out the sky, towering over several meters in height and width, sealing off all possible escape routes.
At the same time, four black, energy-like "hands" extending dozens of meters emerged slowly from Chisaki Kai's back.
In the next moment, a "hand" as dark as black oil quickly "disassembled" and reformed into a solid state, turning into four dangerous, scorpion-like stingers.
Then, with a thought, Chisaki Kai commanded the four black scorpion stingers, along with sharpened stone blades from the ground, to launch a new wave of attacks.
"Come on! Give me back Eri! Then, die!"
As the current leader of [Shie Hassaikai], Chisaki Kai had certainly kept the events of the Kamino battle hidden from his subordinates.
However, he had always placed great importance on Accelerator and All Might.
Through the live broadcast at the time, he noticed that Accelerator had never solidified multiple points at once when using a certain Quirk and layering his piercing attacks.
So, Chisaki Kai believed it was very likely the key to breaking through Accelerator's [Reflection].
As for speed, he only needed to think along the same lines as AFO; as long as he completely blocked the path, he could somewhat curb Accelerator's advantage.
At the same time, Chisaki Kai didn't put all his cards on the so-called layered piercing attack; he also targeted Eri as part of his plan.
He hoped to create an opportunity where Accelerator would sacrifice himself to protect Eri, revealing a flaw, or ignore her, leaving a flaw that could be exploited.
In fact, Eri, as an experimental subject in Chisaki Kai's hands, had personally experienced being torn apart and then immediately restored to her original state multiple times.
Moreover, throughout this process, Eri remained aware of herself.
