however.

An unusual light began to flash in the monster's hand.

It was a colorful stream of light that seemed to make the whole world lose its color.

boom--

A strange, muffled sound echoed all around.

That was a sound that only Accelerator and Do Abis could hear, right after this sudden event.

Accelerator's body plummeted rapidly towards the ground.

"—?!"

His consciousness reacted instantly, and he manipulated the direction of energy, adjusting the position of gravity to the opposite, which allowed him to change from falling to rising.

But something strange has already happened.

Behind him, the pair of white wings lost their original power.

Unable to wave it, or even to convert the unknown power into propulsion to make Accelerator fly in mid-air, all that it still possesses is the simple shape of 'wings'.

'What exactly happened? No, it all happened after that guy's hand flashed with colorful light...'

Perhaps the opponent possesses some power that can nullify their abilities.

That power perfectly sealed Accelerator's white wings, or rather, rendered them ineffective. He himself could sense this.

The duration of the effect is not unlimited; the limited time is probably only a few seconds at most.

But for true powerhouses, a few seconds is enough to mark the beginning and end of a battle.

The demon before them did not hesitate at all.

Once it realized that Accelerator's white wings had completely lost their effect, it rushed forward at top speed.

As before, it once again grasped the sword of pure magic power formed from its own strength.

The sword's length exceeds ten meters, but that's only in its typical form.

Simply holding this sword in one's hand is enough to increase the demon's destructive power by about five times.

But for the First One, who can control the direction of all energy, the least meaningful thing is pure power.

Click——! !

He also materialized a weapon, a scythe wreathed in karmic fire.

The swords clashed, the crimson scythe and the black-red blade instantly intertwining.

Although neither of them are purely physical products, they still managed to create a strange spark between them, and even caused something like purple lightning to condense.

What's even scarier is.

When the demon looked at the scythe in its hand, its temperament seemed to become even more violent.

Squeak—Accelerator felt a faint power slowly flowing into his wrist through his manipulation.

The body, which should have been able to deflect all attacks, was affected.

Although most attacks can be weakened by dispersing energy, it still means that Accelerator has to rely on his own body to withstand such attacks.

An unusual tremor began to emanate from the inside of the monster's arm.

He was never physically strong to begin with, and after losing the means to protect his body, his physical weakness became apparent.

but.

This strongest monster did not show any signs of anxiety.

There was never any sense of boredom from the very beginning.

"It's almost time."

"...?"

"What... You did it yourself, yet you don't even remember it as clearly as I do?"

He stared at the demon before him with a cold smile.

"—Your ability is about to expire, you devilish bastard."

Followed by.

Those dull white wings once again stabbed out like sharp blades.

Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

In that instant, dozens of white wings that had split off shot directly toward DO Apis's entire body.

Screams instantly echoed across the sky.

A dark, black liquid, deeper than the blood of an average person, gushed from its body.

"Roar... Awooo..."

"Let me guess, your ability must have some kind of limitation, specifically around five seconds. During this period, you simply can't use that low-level power again, right?"

Otherwise, DO Apis would have already used that foul power again, rendering his white wings powerless once more.

There is no such thing as absolute invincibility in this world.

If it could truly seal away all of the enemy's power from the very beginning, then it should have used it without hesitation when facing itself from the very start.

The limitation that the other party possesses is "time".

For approximately five seconds, the opponent was completely unable to continue using that level of power.

Including the time it has been speaking, it has been close to ten seconds already.

*Thud*—White Wings continued to pierce into the enemy's body, tearing DO Apis's entire body apart in an instant.

He's not the kind of fool who would waste the best opportunity to eliminate the enemy because of talking.

The first monster showed no mercy to the demon before it.

Because they are all monsters of equal size, there is absolutely no need to show mercy.

however.

—Before him, DO Apis looked at himself again.

The brilliant, colorful light began to shine again.

"—?!"

This time, it was Accelerator's turn to be shocked.

In an instant, the white wings on his back lost their original luster, and his body was then affected by some enormous force, and he was blasted away.

By slowing down the energy direction in the first instance, although most of the impact was weakened, Accelerator still felt a burning sensation in his abdomen.

But these are not things he cares about right now.

Before them, the demon that had once again unleashed its brilliant, multicolored light met an unimaginable end.

It's probably located on the underside of the wing.

Near DO Apis's arm, a crater immediately became visible, from which dark liquid flowed uncontrollably. DO Apis had not suffered any attack from him.

The damage I just caused him was inside his body, not outside it.

if it is like this.

"This guy...could it be that he forcibly used that power just now, causing his own body to be affected?!"

The power belonging to the demon Mammon can grant the holder control over all matter and power.

In other words, it can nullify the power of the person in front of it in an instant.

However, this power can only be used again after ten seconds, and if one tries to use it recklessly during this period, there will be a huge backlash waiting for them.

Losing about one-tenth of one's body is the result of forced use.

Although he couldn't use the power of the White Wings for about a few seconds, Accelerator still felt a surge of confidence.

can win.

The enemy suffered far greater losses than they did.

The loss of about one-tenth of its body, combined with the damage to its internal structure caused by the White Wings, was enough to inflict unimaginable and enormous damage on DO Apis.

If we press our advantage now…

Whoosh—! Just as he was thinking this, a storm suddenly swept in.

Two figures flew directly towards Accelerator.

It was pure gold, like a phantom of DO Apis.

"A clone...?"

And there are still two.

DO Apis spread his wings, and two clones that had appeared before returned to the first one.

Boom! A nuclear-like explosion struck him instantly.

Even though Accelerator easily deflected both attacks using his reflexes, he understood that the enemy's goal was not to kill him at all.

Delay the time.

It was already visible that a kind of deep black light was gathering in the demon's hand.

That was the destructive power belonging to the demon Abaddon. Now, DO Apis reversed it, transforming it directly into a power that could heal his own body.

"What kind of bullshit joke is this...!"

Boom!! The storm exploded, and Accelerator manipulated the tornado to hold the two demon clones in place on the other side. He raised his scythe, and six dark black generators appeared behind him.

despite this.

The two clones tore through the hurricane in an instant and rushed towards him.

boom----! !

But at that critical moment, the clone was held back.

It was a pair of pure white and black figures intertwined.

"What the hell are you doing, you jerk?!"

Imperial Governor Kakine.

The person speaking was the second-ranked esper in Academy City, but he wasn't himself at the moment.

Hundreds of white clones, all of whom were named Kakine Teitoku.

"I helped you save people, not to witness this beastly behavior. Get back to your job, number one!"

"you…"

"It's my job to take you down, you bastard, isn't it? What are you now? How could a scoundrel like you be the protagonist on stage? Stop talking nonsense. I don't care about anything else. Now that you've brought me back to the normal world, go and take care of that piece of trash right now! You're the biggest bastard ever!!"

Hundreds of Kakine Teitoku shouted in unison.

They concentrated their power into a single point and launched a rapid attack directly towards the two clones.

Even if dozens of clones were slaughtered at an overwhelming speed by the two DO Apis clones during this process, it doesn't matter.

The speed of creation surpasses that of destruction.

And right at this very moment.

"This is the moment."

Advisari returned to his side.

And around him was an enormous magic circle.

"I've spent so much time and effort to complete this. As long as I drag DO Apis into it, at least that bastard will be banished!"

In other words, now is the time to decide the outcome of everything.

Accelerator's eyes widened, and behind him, the demon began to roar.

Because of the creation of two clones, the original body's recovery speed has become extremely slow.
