The balanced attack performance is directly transformed into a support-type performance.

Buzz—! A radiant light spread out, instantly blessing Virgil in front of him.

The azure demon child stared coldly at the giant robot in front of him, then casually waved his hand and charged forward at a speed that surpassed sound.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Let's look at it from the other side.

Accelerator and the Demon God.

The two men stood facing each other, with no one else present.

There were only the two of them.

Bang——! !

The first to attack is the one in first place.

He stomped through the floorboards and charged forward in the most decisive and efficient way.

The demon god slightly raised his head, stretched out his left hand, and a scarlet magic circle instantly unfolded.

Accelerator clenched his five fingers together into a fist and slammed it into the opponent's protective magic circle.

The wind exploded.

The moment their bodies intersected, a gust of wind suddenly erupted, followed by a loud bang a few seconds later.

Accelerator landed directly on the ground to one side.

"It seems you are indeed not as simple as I expected."

If you look closely, you can see that the magic circle in front of the demon's palm appears to be wavering.

Accelerator couldn't help but purse his lips.

"However, things won't be so simple now."

The demon raised his arm, and a crimson light flashed forth in an instant.

Followed by.

"Endure the lava from the depths of hell."

Pure, radiant flames erupted from the demon god's shoulder.

The flames looked incredibly bright, and one could almost hear the roar of some kind of creature inside.

Accelerator retreated cautiously, not directly using his reflexes to take the hit.

He reached out with his right hand and instantly grasped the silver-red scythe in his hand.

Nathos.

The weapon, which wielded both karmic fire and spiritual power, was directly infused with intense power by him.

The same level of karmic fire instantly ignited at the tip of the scythe, and the first one, wielding the Grim Reaper's weapon without mercy, clashed directly with the flames.

The sound of flames devouring each other rang out.

Even though both sides are flames, a scene has somehow appeared where flames can even ignite each other.

Squeak-!

The flames belonging to the demon god were torn apart in one breath.

"...?"

He couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. At that moment, Accelerator rushed out from the middle, wielding a scythe.

Bang! He activated the magic circle again, and the crimson magic circle blocked the opponent's attack.

The interplay of forces caused sparks to appear at the front of the magic circle.

"The flames ignited by that weapon seem to be something special."

"Huh, you mean this?"

The first person just pursed his lips, completely unconcerned about it.

"I don't even understand what kind of power structure this is, so don't expect me to tell you."

Just like unleashing his full power, Accelerator poured all his immense strength into his scythe.

Manipulate the direction of energy to launch unique attacks.

As he directly controlled the flames on Nathos's body, they instantly transformed into beams of light in mid-air, striking the demon god in one breath.

The Demon God casually waved his left arm, extinguishing the flames instantly. At the same time, the ground was torn apart again by his movement.

The shockwave exploded outwards.

Accelerator manipulated the vectors, allowing his body to evade the attack unscathed, and continued to control the energy direction of the blazing fire, launching a fierce attack on the enemy in front of him.

But the result is still the same.

Countless attacks of karmic fire failed to break the magic circle in the opponent's hands.

"I see."

As if he had seen through something, the demon god couldn't help but whisper aloud.

“Nathos, that’s certainly a very meaningful name.”

"Even the flames of the Demon King Belial could be easily neutralized. Interesting... It seems that this alone is not enough."

Followed by.

"Bear the glory from the god of demons."

The flames dissipated.

What reappeared behind the demon god were twelve golden wings.

"What…?"

Accelerator couldn't help but frown; the golden light gave him a strange feeling.

Not so good.

At that moment, golden wings shot out instantly, reaching Accelerator at a speed that human dynamic vision could never keep up with.

This time, he did not choose to dodge, but instead faced the enemy's attack directly.

Bang——! ! !

On the front side of Accelerator's body, the direction of the wings was distorted.

That's a reflection.

As long as you can understand the opponent's power system, you can perfectly create the strongest protective shield for absolute defense.

but.

The angle of reflection is very shallow.

"...?"

Accelerator himself couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he watched the twelve wings brush past him.

There are twelve wings in total, but in reality, he only reflected four of them.

Ultimately, it wasn't really a reflection; it was merely a significant shift in the direction of the golden wings themselves, making the wings appear more like a refraction.

The remaining few wings were either knocked off by him with his Nathos or missed him entirely, grazing the top of his head as they flew past.

This is yet another completely different rule.

Unlike magic and other types of law systems, if it were Accelerator, theoretically he should be able to control the opponent's power system at first glance.

'So, if that's all...!'

The first person focused their gaze forward and offered a deeper interpretation.

The brain's enormous computing power was instantly activated.

By using one's own abilities to create fictitious vector axes and then reverse-analyzing the phenomena in front of one's eyes, one can deduce laws that are infinitely close to the truth.

It's that simple.

—That's how it should be.

"--ah?"

Accelerator realizes that something is wrong with his body.

Everything in front of me began to blur.

then.

"Gurgle—ah?!"

A feeling of nausea instantly welled up inside me.

He couldn't help but squat down, covering his mouth and nose with his left hand, as if his breathing had stopped at that moment.

The blurred vision was less a result of excessive dizziness and more a consequence of excessive vertigo.

"What...is going on...the parsing is failing?"

No, it's not that simple.

Accelerator did indeed analyze the vector direction of the opponent's ability, but while doing so, he felt something different.

Unlike analyzing the magic in Academy City, what happened at that moment caused physical harm to him.

Accelerator can now sense that when he tries to reverse-analyze the opponent's power, he experiences a deep-seated wound to his soul.

It was a deeply ingrained feeling of nausea.

If he hadn't managed to control the flow of blood in his body in time, he probably would have coughed up blood by now.

"I see, that's how it is."

The voice of the demon god reached their ears.

"It seems you're the kind of person who can't successfully control power without analyzing it itself."

Golden wings shot out from directly in front of Accelerator.

Reflection is probably not feasible, and even refraction would be far too dangerous.

But now Accelerator feels more of a deep-seated nausea; he feels nauseous even just opening his mouth, let alone getting up.

The golden wing was about to strike him.

Bang! At that moment, the sword flashed.

"This is nothing like you."

A golden light flashed, and another figure descended directly beside him.

Accelerator frowned, his vision finally clearing up considerably.

He then realized who was standing next to him.

“Is it you…?”

A man named Witte, wielding a red and silver greatsword, came before him.

"Don't make any unnecessary movements during the fight. I don't know what's wrong with your reflexes, but a person's abilities depend on their mental state. If you don't focus on the fight, you might not even be able to use refraction!"

If, as before, Accelerator were to experience a profound sense of astonishment and abandon all thought, his reflexes would likely malfunction.

In that case, there wouldn't even be any refraction; the golden wings would pierce through Accelerator's skull in one go.

He took a deep breath and composed himself.

Reflection alone will not work.

That power was similar to the magic he encountered in Academy City, but it was not the same substance. However, no matter what it was, for him, simply reflecting it was still not the fundamental solution to the problem.

He gripped the scythe tighter, his gaze towards the demon god becoming even more piercing.

"Your fighting spirit has been rekindled? Is that your goal?"

"Hey, do you think you can do whatever you want just because the other party doesn't understand you? Don't make me laugh."
