Even if Accelerator can stand here unscathed, so what?

There are just too many.

Even if he controls the storm to kill them all, new monsters will still emerge from the forest. Moreover, he cannot use particularly large-scale, high-damage attacks.

That brat named Petra is still in the enemy's hands. If we want to ensure his safety, we can't use any high-damage moves.

Accelerator's body was quickly devoured by the horde of monsters.

Even though he could deflect all attacks, the surrounding monsters kept rushing at him, giving him the feeling of having a grain of rice thrown into a bowl of red beans.

Mei chuckled, no longer feeling any sense of crisis.

Just as she said, she is already invincible.

"I'm sorry, big brother, although you are very strong, it would be a pity to kill you like this."

"But Mary is the type who gets paid to do things, and in this world, none of us can blame anyone else."

If this continues, the man in front of her will surely become physically and mentally exhausted from the constant attacks, and eventually die from exhaustion.

That was the thought of the girl who used monsters.

She shook her head and turned away.

"Next up is the person to be elected, that girl named Emilia... Meryl will be having her meet her big brother soon."

After leaving those words behind, Mary turned and walked into the forest.

…Then.

She noticed something.

"...Huh? Where did the forest go?"

She turned around, having just stepped into the bushes in front of her; what lay before her should have been the depths of the forest.

But it's gone.

There were no bushes or trees in front of us.

nothing left.

There wasn't even the slightest place left to hide.

Huh...huh?!

what happened?

Mary felt a chill run down her spine.

At that moment, she realized something.

Did something happen behind me?

Her neck, like a rusty mechanical part, slowly turned backward.

Then she saw it.

—A huge black and white sphere that appeared in the sky, covered by clouds.

Just like a black hole.

"Huh... what's that...?"

Her tone was almost calm, but that was because of one circumstance.

unknown.

Humans are naturally afraid of the unknown.

Naturally, she had no idea what it was, so she felt the unknown and therefore felt fear.

But there was something else that terrified her even more.

"—That's really unpleasant, that bastard."

The voice came from in front of me.

The sky shone violently as the black and white sphere devoured everything around it. Within ten seconds, the surrounding bushes and forests were all drawn into it, and nearly all of the tens of thousands of magical beasts were swallowed up by the sphere.

However, none of this was a natural disaster.

That was something a human being could do.

He spread his arms comfortably, his white hair reflecting the moonlight, his scarlet eyes even more malevolent than those of a monster.

That was a scientific monster.

"Although it's a move I've used before, it still feels boring. It's just reverse calculation based on the formula for black hole celestial bodies, and then adjusting the direction of a random magical beast to absorb it, ultimately creating an attractive sphere similar to a black hole."

"Although it's not a particularly lethal move, just something like a child's toy, it's really annoying that I have to use this kind of thing to deal with these thugs."

correct.

That thing that looks like a black hole, but is actually very different from a black hole, was created by Accelerator.

By using the calculation formula of black holes and then reversing the direction of the force, turning the reflection direction into absorption, it is possible to create something that can attract all the force into its interior.

Absorption is the exact opposite of reflection.

Since the strongest Level 5 esper in Academy City can reflect all power, he can naturally attract all power together.

Ultimately, this is no longer a battle of equals between humans.

Because it was utterly meaningless from the very beginning.

"So, what should we do next?"

The sound came over.

The most terrifying thing was not the power that had devoured all the magical beasts, but the monster standing in front of the girl.

The white-haired, red-eyed demon was walking towards him step by step.

—With an almost morbid smile.

"I'm asking you a question! Tell me, what should I do? Huh?!"

"Ah... Ahhh! Uwaa ...

Mary fully realized the seriousness of the situation.

Without the slightest hesitation, she desperately controlled the few remaining magical beasts to rush backward.

In order to survive, the girl began like this.

Racing against death.

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Situation of the Anomaly

The night breeze was blowing gently.

But tonight, no one here will enjoy the beautiful moments of the night.

Now is the time for the hunt.

"Ha ha!"

The girl sat on the back of a magical beast, running as fast as she could.

The magical beasts under her control were running at almost their fastest speed, not daring to stop for even a moment.

The monster was carrying the unconscious Petra in its mouth, and sitting on its back was naturally Melie.

She was holding a small, thin black dog tightly in her arms, while she was clinging to the back of the monster.

"Damn it... What are you talking about? What kind of joke is this?!"

Mary's face showed an expression that she simply dared not recall it.

They didn't even dare to think about what had happened just a second ago, or what the strong causes and consequences were.

Because reality was so shocking, it was enough to shake her entire worldview.

Ultimately, if Elsa, the Bowel Hunter who was in the same organization as her, hadn't said those things to her, Melly probably wouldn't have taken on this mission.

She had carefully considered the strength and skill of her enemies, and had also clearly considered Roswaal's own strength. She knew that she couldn't win by confronting them directly, so she could only resort to underhanded tactics.

Even if you saw someone like Accelerator, with that kind of strength, you wouldn't be so surprised that you wouldn't be able to speak.

She had indeed seen many powerful figures and knew a great deal about them, such as the famous Sword Saint Reinhard and the various Archbishops of the Witch Cult, all of whom were one-to-one level powerhouses.

For Mary, simply being powerful wouldn't be enough to make her so afraid that she wouldn't dare to speak.

So, what exactly caused her to end up in this miserable state?

It's about the impact and the unknown.

Meili knew exactly what Reinhard's personality and strength were like; they were directly proportional. Everyone knew about the Sword Saint's immense power, so there was no need to be surprised.

But One-Way Street is different.

Although Meli had witnessed Accelerator emerge unscathed from a group of monsters, she had never imagined that he could create such a thing.

No, in the end.

The people of this world simply cannot understand what a black hole is or what a vector is.

Therefore, the feeling of a primitive man suddenly discovering an alien life form that had jumped from the interior of a planet 500 light-years away to Earth while he was out hunting completely shocked Melly.

She couldn't understand what it was. If it were a physical artillery barrage or sword strike, she could understand those attacks, but she couldn't even comprehend what Accelerator's power was.

It was massive in scale and didn't show any destructive power, but the sheer size of it, capable of swallowing up the surrounding forest in one go, was truly terrifying.

Because of the unknown, she felt fear.

That's why she turned out this way.

"Elsa never mentioned this at all!!"

Elsa, the assassin who was in the same unit as him, only mentioned that the enemy was very strong and that they absolutely could not let their guard down.

In Mary's opinion, even if someone is strong, they shouldn't be that strong. She wasn't even that afraid of Roswaal.

But now it seems that the result is not like that at all.

She didn't hesitate; she had to run.

but.

The sound of something tearing through the air ripped through everything around them.

As soon as Mary turned around, she saw a beam of light shooting straight at her, instantly tearing apart the body of the monster beneath her.

Bang——! !

It was a pebble, a pebble that had completely melted after exceeding the sound barrier.

The monster's torso was torn straight apart, and she and Petra, whom the monster was talking about, fell to the ground.

"It hurts..."

Mary's physique was still that of a little girl, and she immediately felt a lot of pain from the fall.

However, she soon realized something.

—Now that my monster has been attacked, who exactly attacked it?

The answer is self-evident.

"what--!!"

Mary's eyes widened, and she slowly turned her head back, bit by bit.

pat.

Those were footsteps.

She saw it in the moonlight.

A white-haired Grim Reaper dressed in greyish-white clothes strolled toward her.

"Ahhh! No, don't come any closer—!!"

It was like a scene from a horror movie.

The moonlight reflected off the other person's extremely white hair, and their scarlet eyes gleamed in the darkness. The monster's smile still lingered on their face.
