but.

From the demon named DO Apis, the spatial fluctuations finally revealed their true nature.

Both Accelerator and Kakine Teitoku saw through all of this.

Red and black chains.

Once this fact was realized, the substantial impact burst forth upon everyone in one go.

BOOM! ...

The chains covered the entire rooftop almost instantly.

"What…?"

"This is--!"

Kakine Teitoku and Hatsune Miku realized this in an instant, and then tried their best to resist.

The two used magic and undifferentiated matter to create a shield-like object in an attempt to stop its advance.

But that's meaningless.

The red and black chains pierced through their defenses in one go.

This was not achieved through sheer destructive power.

Instead, it was as if they were in completely different dimensions, completely traversing the past.

"Ugh——!"

Chains came from all directions, binding the two of them tightly in place in one fell swoop.

Hatsune Miku's limbs were instantly bound, and at the same time, even the gohei in her hand was taken away by the chains.

"ah--!"

The suffocating feeling made it difficult for the girl to breathe.

The girl's cheeks even turned red from the intensely painful touch.

"What a tenacious bastard!"

Boom!! As the sound spread, Kakine Teitoku's body transformed into several pure white entities.

That was made of primordial matter, and belonged to his clone.

If he wanted, he could create an almost infinite number of clones with equal power, each clone possessing strength nearly identical to his original body. With a little will, he could construct the most terrifying weapons.

But the chains completely ignored this.

Like eels, they passed through Kakine Teitoku's clones and rushed directly towards his main body.

In an instant.

The second person's abdomen was instantly pierced by several black and red chains.

"Pfft—whoa!"

Fresh blood gushed from his mouth.

However, he didn't care about that.

Kakine Teitoku attempted to take action, but found that his body seemed to be in another dimension. Although he could see and feel it, he just couldn't control it.

"Oh no, they're coming this way!"

"Shidou...!"

Yatogami Tohka and Itsuka Shido also saw the iron chain flying towards them at an astonishing speed.

Immediately afterwards——

"Seventh Bullet (Zayin) —!"

Bang! The sound of gunpowder exploding rang out.

Under their watchful eyes, the chains in front of them stopped moving with a crisp clang.

It's obvious who did this without even thinking.

"Kurumi!"

Itsuka Shido quickly looked ahead.

click-

In that instant, the chains resumed their flow.

"Varied--?"

Not only Itsuka Shido, but even Tokisaki Kurumi herself, who was not far away, was surprised.

The chains ignored her time-stopping ability and bound the three stunned people together in one go.

Kotori Itsuka is in the same situation.

Her body was almost instantly pierced by most of the chains, and her limbs were also bound.

His body was soon pierced by countless chains.

"Kotori!!"

"It's okay, you silly brother!"

Even so, Kotori Itsuka maintained her smiling demeanor.

Without hesitation, she raised the axe in her hand and cleaved the chains in two.

call--

Flames rose on his abdomen, seemingly to heal the original wound.

"If you do that, you won't be able to do anything to me!"

From this perspective, perhaps Itsuka Shido's healing ability comes from her.

Then, moving at high speed, Kotori Itsuka's figure became difficult to catch with the naked eye, and she arrived in front of the demon in an instant.

"Go ahead and capture it!"

A huge axe came crashing down on him.

However, subsequently...

Kotori Itsuka noticed something.

As she swung the axe, she saw her body tilt downwards.

Huh...?

"How... what...?"

When he opened his mouth, blood continued to flow out.

You can see it if you look down.

The wound on his abdomen did not heal successfully because of the flames.

He hadn't even broken the chains himself.

Kotori Itsuka stood there stunned, the axe in her hand falling to the ground as the chains were pulled again.

The devil is right in front of us.

The black and red demon raised its arm without emotion and swept it horizontally from left to right.

puff.

The girl's body was torn in two in mid-air.

...Kotori?

Blood fell to the ground like raindrops.

Itsuka Shido stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

Are you kidding me...?!

"Kotori... Kotori! Hey! Kotori—!!!"

The girl's body then crashed onto the rooftop, her blood completely covering the area, but she had no strength to respond to the other party.

Despair completely enveloped everything around them.

Hatsune Miku and Tohka Yatogami were both stunned, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Kakine Teitoku gritted his teeth, still exerting all his strength to break free.

Then.

What about the first person who was given hope?

He stood there, head bowed.

Surprisingly, the chains wrapped around him without restraint, suspending his body like a cross.

Accelerator's reflection didn't work; in fact, he hadn't activated it at all.

The reason is actually quite simple.

This is how you accumulate the maximum amount of anger.

then.

"...Do you know?"

The white creature, its entire body stained with blood, raised its head.

Those red eyes have lost all human emotion.

"You've completely messed with me, you bastard."

Bang.

A very simple and obvious thing happened.

A thing over a hundred meters long burst forth directly from behind the white shadow.

wing.

It was pitch black, an absolute darkness unlike anything ever seen before, like an abyss.

boom----! ! ! !

The enormous wings, and the instant they appeared, shattered all the chains covering the entire rooftop.

The desire to kill outweighed the desire to protect.

At this moment, the monster's mind was filled with only one simple thought.

Completely unleash the murderous intent within your heart.

Just for one thing.

The black wings, exceeding one hundred meters in length, roared towards the demon directly in front of them in an instant.

Boom! In contrast, the demons of the abyss once again coiled up countless chains and blasted them directly towards Accelerator's position.

At that critical moment, his wings split apart.

Accelerator's body slowly landed, and he then planted his hand directly on the rooftop floor.

Dark, protruding spikes extended continuously from the inside of the rooftop.

Each spike is about ten meters long.

Like a carpet, the jet-black spikes spread out in all directions.

Boom! A deafening explosion rang out.

The jet-black spikes and countless chains then intertwined, unleashing a sound and devastating attack that were beyond human comprehension.

Taking advantage of this moment, the people who were previously bound by chains immediately dodged backward.

"Roar! Ro ...

The demon roared, then, realizing the chains were utterly useless, retrieved them.
