Naturally, the figure that appeared behind him was the one he was looking at.

The human was dressed in grayish-white clothing, his entire body was eerily white, and his eyes were a ferocious red.

“Ah… ow…”

"Want to know why you ended up like this? I'm not such a villain who couldn't even let the other person die knowing why."

The human pointed in the direction behind him.

The demon girl stiffly turned her head, little by little.

The direction I was flying in was correct.

However, something is slightly off.

From the very beginning, a portal with a light purple border, almost completely invisible, had been placed in front of the exit I intended to go to.

The portal was located towards the beginning of the corridor.

From the very beginning, my actions were utterly meaningless.

"Fortunately, the fog just now had some tricks up its sleeve, but you don't actually think I can only rely on my five senses to find my way, do you?"

For a human being, if losing the ability to observe means simply being unable to see, hear, or smell, then he/she would be unable to reach the strongest level.

Even energy sources like radiation and ultraviolet rays can be easily captured and placed within his domain.

Not to mention demons whose energy is vastly different from that of ordinary people.

"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste any more words."

"What...are you planning to do...?"

"No need to put on that act. A woman's body? Ha, what use is that stuff, you idiot? I don't think you're one of the guys who originally came from this mansion. You might as well just get rid of the pests for them right here."

In other words, the other party had no obscene thoughts at all, so it was impossible to apply the corresponding thoughts of the demon race to them.

The human in front of me simply wants to kill me right here.

The demon girl finally accepted this reality completely.

"No, no...!"

"You were the one who struck first, weren't you?"

"Don't come any closer!!!"

Boom—!! She concentrated her magic power as much as possible and unleashed a barrage of bullets.

But that human didn't even move an inch.

All the bullets that hit him, though only paused for a moment, were mercilessly reflected back the way they came the next instant.

They bombarded the girl's body in one go.

“Grrr——!”

"Tsk, I thought it was some kind of weird thing. I didn't even have to do any active analysis, and I already figured out your abilities completely by subconscious calculation... It's not even up to par."

"Waaaaah...!"

Seeing the other person walk towards her like this, twisting their hands back and forth, the demon girl completely lost all ability to resist.

She vaguely felt that her legs and her whole body were trembling uncontrollably.

An indescribable sense of oppression, more terrifying than being a demon himself, oppressed everything.

"No!!!"

then.

Before Accelerator could even make a move, the girl in front of him collapsed to the ground, her eyes spinning, and she fainted.

"…ah?"

This seems to be something even the person who first came up with didn't expect.

It should be said that this was the first time he had ever seen someone who had been frightened to the point of fainting in another world.

In the end, he only intended to give her a warning, not to actually kill her.

"You're finished at this level? The demon wings on your back are practically crying..."

Anyway, everything that just happened was probably caused by this devilish girl.

Accelerator could also sense that the bookshelves approaching were just illusions and would not cause him any harm whatsoever.

This girl must have been waiting in this library for others to come so she could intimidate them; it must have been going on for quite some time now.

This time, it can be considered as teaching this mischievous guy a lesson.

"Boring, this place is really nothing new."

Without even glancing at the adorable figure lying on the ground—a figure that could make countless teenage boys lose their composure—Accelerator walked out of the library, utterly bored.

A loud crash came from behind me; it must have been five minutes ago.

"However, compared to these..."

After leaving the library, he did not immediately leave the basement.

Accelerator turned his gaze back to the door behind him.

He closed the door, knowing that Patchouli's library lay behind it.

But he also knew that there was a head maid in the Scarlet Devil Mansion who could manipulate space.

"You just told me that there are no other rooms here besides the library, right?"

The first person casually snapped their fingers.

The weapon he had previously used to open the portal to scare the demon girl reappeared.

There were six dark black generators, resembling sharp spikes.

They control the power of both time and space.

Accelerator didn't do anything particularly outrageous; he simply placed his hand on the door in front of him.

then.

He seemed to be seeing a completely different landscape.

"...That's exactly how it is."

There is more than one space behind this door.

Besides Patchouli's large library, this door leads to another separate space.

That was probably done by Izayoi Sakuya herself, but—why would she do such a thing?

It seems Patchouli has stated directly that there is no other place in the Scarlet Devil Mansion's basement besides her side, and Remilia seems to have mentioned something similar.

Everyone's actions indicated that something far more profound existed within this basement.

The little tricks before them were utterly insignificant to the number one who had completely mastered both the realms of time and space.

"nailed it."

After the misaligned space was reversed, the door opened by itself.

However, the room that appeared before them was no longer the library they had just been in.

Accelerator slowly walked into it.

That was an even darker, more gloomy space.

Although the room was large, it was far smaller than the previous library. Moreover, the room had a huge circular structure, suggesting that it was a single room.

The room was dark and very damp.

The closer Accelerator gets to the interior, the more intense the aura becomes.

"This is…"

He was very familiar with this aura because he had personally experienced it during his time in the Dark Side and during the experiments on the evolution of absolute abilities.

The scent of fresh blood.

However, the aura of this blood was even stronger than that of the blood that had been on his body before.

Snapped--

suddenly.

As he took a step forward, the room before him was illuminated by a burst of light.

"...Has anyone arrived?"

A figure hovered in mid-air.

And around her, a very faint candlelight gradually illuminated the surroundings.

"Are you here to keep Fran company?"

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

"Oh dear, this is... Little Devil? What are you doing lying here?"

"Patchori-sama...?"

"Speak quickly, who exactly are you... Hey! Don't suddenly sidle up to me!"

"Patchouli-sama!! I'm so scared!!!"

"Don't pull me so hard! You don't know I've always been in poor health—I'm going to fall! Mmm!!"

The two people in the library were completely unaware that in another space, in the basement, the two, as blood-red as blood, had already met.

Chapter 457 Flandre Scarlet

In this deserted basement, Accelerator had considered what kind of scenes he might encounter.

For example, there's a coffin sealing some kind of monster, a storage room containing some unspeakable secret, or even a magic circle used to perform dark rituals.

However, he never considered the only possibility.

That is, in this basement, I saw a living, young girl.

Appearing before Accelerator was a very young girl.

She appears to be younger than Remilia, and her height is probably less than half of her own. Her clothing is also quite unique.

The red and white colors overlap, and the bow tie is probably made of some very high-end material, creating a yellow and white striped tie.

Beneath the deep red skirt were what looked like lantern pants; despite her young age, she was already wearing red and white high heels, and her golden hair was covered by a white round hat with a red ribbon.

The girl's petite figure and her pair of bright red eyes, just like Accelerator's, combined with all of these, gave people only a feeling of pure innocence and naivety.

however.

All of this is based on the premise of not looking directly at the pair of wings behind her.

Those were a pair of withered wings, looking as if they had been burned by a raging fire.

Below the wings are colorful crystals, which look like Christmas tree lanterns, but the more direct impression is that they are as clear as crystal, slowly emitting a dazzling light in this dark room.

That was telling the truth that the girl's identity was definitely not human.

If you look closely, you can also see that the entire structure of the room is distorted to an extreme degree.

The room was lavishly furnished, with tables, chairs, and even a dressing table and wardrobe, all made of a very luxurious material.

The bed, located in the very center of the room, also looked very luxurious; at first glance, it was a bed in the style of the Middle Ages.

Candles were lit at all four corners of the bed, and by the candlelight, the object in the very center of the bed could be clearly seen.

A huge coffin.

Everything became incredibly strange in that instant, from the atmosphere of the entire room to the aura emanating from the girl.

Even though this girl is so beautiful and lovely, it doesn't matter.

"Oh, big brother, didn't you hear what Fran said?"

The sound came from ahead again.

The girl, who was suspended in mid-air, had her wings trembling slightly before she slowly landed on the ground.
