Chapter 763 - 763
Beneath the overpass, in the bustling city center.Pedestrians chatted and laughed as they passed by, traffic lights flashed with neon colors, yet the clamorous sounds failed to reach the ears of the three individuals at this moment.
At the end of the road stood a man in a straight-cut black trench coat, hands tucked into his pockets, brazenly positioned there.
Sunglasses obscured his eyes, but Eiji could sense his gaze fixed squarely upon him.
Within that gaze lay an utterly undisguised killing intent.
A dazzling white light flared up beside him.
Eiji shifted his gaze slightly toward the silver-haired beauty at his side.
At some point, her casual attire had vanished, replaced by that silver-white combat suit.
Wing-like crowns spread to either side, the armor revealing generous portions of snow-white skin. Twin swords gripped in her hands gave her the appearance of a valkyrie—austere and inviolable.
"Are you seeking to start a war, Superman?"
She took a step forward, sword intent boiling in her eyes.
In merely an instant, she had transformed from a sentimental girl into a decisive warrior!
Once immersed in battle, she would not entertain superfluous thoughts; her sword heart remained flawless and unassailable.
"That's fine by me."
The young man opposite curled his lips into a reckless grin.
"Allowing that boy to grow unchecked would pose a grave threat to our United States. To propagate our justice across the world, I will destroy you right here!"
The latter part of his words dripped with killing intent directed straight at Eiji.
"So, you already had murderous intentions toward me during yesterday's match, didn't you?"
Eiji snorted coldly, his gaze sharp enough to pierce the atmosphere.
The moment the match concluded, Eiji had intuitively sensed an astonishing killing intent.
Though it vanished in an instant, his keen perception had already pinpointed its source.
It was this so-called alliance's strongest—Abraham Carter, captain of the American superpower unit 〈PSYON〉, commonly known as "Psion"!
The reason he hadn't acted then was likely due to the presence of the old man and others; striking then would have gained him no advantage, hence he waited until now.
"If you can do it, then by all means, try!"
Eiji's eyes brimmed with icy resolve.
"But be careful not to capsize in a ditch—lest trying becomes dying!"
Confidence radiated from his every word.
As an established powerhouse and one of the world's three poles, Abraham had undoubtedly broken through to Demon King long ago, his strength beyond imagination.
Yet Eiji showed not a hint of timidity. Even having just broken through to Demon King himself, his eyes still gleamed with unyielding pride.
"Be careful; he's no ordinary opponent."
Edelweiss whispered a warning to him.
In the next moment, Abraham's attack was upon them.
Provoked by Eiji's taunts, he sneered dismissively and raised his left hand without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
Blazing flames of startling intensity erupted from beneath Eiji's feet.
The scorching flames, exceeding three thousand degrees, emitted an intense light that illuminated everything within a hundred meters, causing passersby to scream in panic and flee in disarray.
The appearance of these flames was abrupt, but Eiji had already sensed the danger beforehand and evaded them.
While dodging the flames, his entire body lowered like a leopard's, and he burst forth at supersonic speed!
A silver-white blade had somehow appeared in his hand, and with a silent slash, he swung it toward Abraham's chest!
"Fleeting Glimmer!"
This was no longer the same Fleeting Glimmer as before.
After breaking through as a demonic warrior, he had extracted the principles of Foot Dragging and applied them to every part of his body.
This allowed him to slip into the subconscious of countless people even while remaining still.
Even if he instantly entered a state of extreme motion, his opponents would be unable to react in time.
Though his talent in other areas was limited, by treating his entire body as a sword, he could wield this move as effortlessly as moving his own arm.
Abraham made no move.
Facing Eiji's assault, he seemed completely oblivious to the gleaming blade, his expression relaxed and unhurried.
This strike was fully expected to land—!
But suddenly.
Abraham's figure vanished from Eiji's sight.
Without any warning.
Eiji spun around sharply, raising his blade horizontally in front of him.
"Boom!"
Abraham had somehow appeared behind him, a silver elbow guard materializing on his right arm as he threw a punch toward Eiji's back!
The air screamed as if tearing apart, turbulent currents shaking the surroundings—the force of this punch was more terrifying than a missile!
Thanks to his timely turn, Eiji blocked the punch with his blade.
The impact was instantly redirected into the ground, and Abraham's sneak attack ended in failure.
"Huh?"
He was startled.
He hadn't expected Eiji to perfectly counter his surprise assault, not even forced to take a single step back?
Just then, a silver flash struck!
Twin-Wings-like dual swords shot toward him from behind, like raindrops falling into water, creating faint ripples in the air that extended her blade's reach, sweeping sword energy across his entire body!
Abraham twitched his lips, as if he had anticipated this move all along.
His figure disappeared once again.
Edelweiss's sword struck empty air, forcing her to withdraw her sword energy.
"High-speed movement?"
Eiji narrowed his eyes.
Abraham reappeared in another location.
"No, if it were high-speed movement, my eyes wouldn't have failed to see anything."
Edelweiss's expression turned stern as she analyzed Abraham's ability.
"If he possessed speed so extreme that even my eyes couldn't perceive it, there would be no need for him to dodge—he could overwhelm us in the blink of an eye!"
Indeed.
Eiji had noticed it too.
Abraham's disappearance and reappearance left no gap in between.
"In other words, it's teleportation."
Eiji understood then.
"But he used flames earlier, and how could he have activated his ability in time to evade without seeing you swinging your sword behind him?"
Twin-Wings' sword movements were utterly silent—unless one saw it with their own eyes or possessed extremely sharp intuition, her strikes were undetectable.
But Abraham had his back to her just now, yet he still used teleportation to escape immediately.
"Perhaps his intuition is extremely sharp, or perhaps he foresaw the future... In any case, he's very troublesome."
Edelweiss reminded him.
"I know."
Eiji nodded coldly.
Abraham Carter.
Almost no one in the world knew what his Blazer ability truly was.
Because whenever America deployed its special forces team, CERN, they would sweep through everything around the target like locusts descending on a city—even insignificant weeds and passing earthworms would be eradicated.
This might also be CERN deliberately concealing Abraham's ability.
Similarly, very few people knew the abilities of Old Man Whitebeard and Twin-Wings.
