My mother's love song

“…To think that such a thing would happen.”

Rhodes stared at his wound in disbelief.

A hole was gouged out in the side abdomen.

The shape of this wound was exactly the same as the one he had just inflicted on the exhibitionist ice beauty demon.

"Huh!? Why is this happening? Lord Rhodes was not attacked, so where did that wound come from?"

Miss Luvia, I advise you to read less romance novels and more boys' comics in the future.

Rhodes sighed.

With just a little thought, you can understand that this hole comes from the counter-injury.

No, maybe the term counter-injury is not accurate.

The basic principle can be roughly referred to the cursed artifact [Delusion Heart Sound] that Cursed Arm Hassan obtained through the Hand of Satan.

Reflect the object in the mirror, and then use the Ether block to create a "double existence" that is exactly the same as the object from its mirror existence.

The double existence has the property of resonating with the real thing. If the double existence is harmed, the real thing will also be harmed.

For example, if a simulated heart is scratched, the subject will appear to be unharmed, with only the heart destroyed, and die.

It is similar in principle to the current situation.

Because Coronzon herself was like a mirror to Rhodes, any attack launched at her would be reflected back to herself without reservation.

If there is any difference, it is the huge difference in mystery.

The Hand of Satan of Hassan the Cursed is just a gift taken from the poor demon Shayidonai, while Delta is the great demon who is far superior to the false Satan and the pinnacle of the Kabbalah system.

At the same time, there is probably no way to break this spell.

After all, the ritual is not a temporary construction, but Delta itself.

"So what then..."

Rhodes muttered as he grasped the little finger of his left hand with his right hand, and then broke his little finger in one go.

"Rod! What are you doing!?"

"..."

He did not respond to Rin's excited words, but silently observed the big demon floating in the air with its demon wings spread out. Delta's hand

Nothing happened, and Delta suffered no physical harm from Rhodes because of the curse.

"It's really one-way."

If you think about it carefully, this is only natural.

If Rhode could also feed back damage to her, then they would form a perpetual motion machine, endlessly damaging each other until one of them was killed.

Rod also tried self-healing by the way, but unfortunately he was unable to heal himself.

The reason might be because Delta did not treat his own body.

"Okay, I've got a general idea of ​​the situation."

Rhodes shrugged and said so casually, and Delta frowned.

Bright and straightforward, that's not the expression a person in a critical situation should have.

Delta has looked down upon all kinds of humans in the Astral World so far.

He is the only one who can show such a calm expression when faced with difficulties that are absolutely insurmountable.

Aleister Crowley, it seems that it was no coincidence that I was summoned to the physical world by you.

"and then?"

Noticing that the opponent's fighting spirit had not subsided, Delta asked curiously: "Have you figured out how to fight me?"

"Hmm~Did you find out? Actually, I already have some ideas."

Rhodes responded cheerfully to Delta's slightly provocative words.

"I roughly know how to defeat you, but in order for me to achieve this step, you must cooperate with my actions.

Whether it can be as I wish... I have no idea about this."

"Your words are totally illogical. Do you still expect me to lose to you on purpose?

This is impossible. I will fulfill my daughters' wish and make you lose your will to fight right here."

Rod said, “No, you don’t have to go that far, don’t go easy on me.

You just need to keep a calm mind during the battle with me...

If the opponent is Alpha, it’s hard to say, but if the opponent is you, I can win.”

"I will tell my daughter about this as a joke."

Delta showed an unhappy look because of this overly blatant mockery.

"There has to be a limit to arrogance, I thought you were a man who could get along with everyone.

If you insist on doing this, first let me teach you what true despair is. "

Along with the words came an overflow of magical power that was so huge that it was unmatched.

The True Ether that was originally stirring now seemed like an indestructible blade, wreaking havoc on everything underground.

As if Delta itself was a giant tornado in motion, a red and black magic storm swept around.

The girls who were watching the battle had to hold down their hair and skirts, and even when they were just bathed in this breeze, the magic circuits in their bodies began to wail.

Not what Delta did.

She just stood there, and that was enough to cause this.

Her existence itself is a disaster to the world. It is most appropriate to describe her as "the enemy of mankind".

"What a joke... This is not the energy that any living creature can possess..."

Toosaka Rin looked at the Demon Ancestor who was surrounded by a hurricane and murmured in despair.

But when she looked at Rhodes, she found that the boy's eyes not only did not become dim, but became brighter.

Rhode...Have you always been fighting against monsters like this?

It's painful enough just for me to stand here.

Even so, don't you have the slightest bit of cowardice?

As if responding to the question in Rin's heart, Rhodes raised the corners of his mouth.

If I show my weakness here, everything will be over.

The other party is a demon, a high-dimensional creature that can turn human spirit into food. The more afraid you are, the more powerful she will become.

With this belief, Rhodes decided to destroy this guy's prestige first.

With fists, of course.

The next moment, Delta took action.

The great devil raised her naked arms, and a magnificent magic circle appeared at the end of her fingertips.

A massive torrent of Light that came without any warning.

The hundreds of magic cannons scattered from the magic circle seemed to completely ravage the inner sea of ​​the star, sweeping away everything.

Almost at the same time as Delta performed the magic, Rhodes also took action.

More than a thousand chains appeared in the space behind him.

Different from the Heaven's Chain he used before, it was a symbol of his membership in Brunstad.

"Thousand-year lock!"

The Chains of Illusion turned into a torrential rain and poured down towards Delta's light cannon.

In terms of firepower alone, Rhodes' side was superior. After more than 300 Millennium City Locks were shattered, he suppressed Delta's great magic and launched a counterattack.

The Millennium Lock was not thrown in a straight line, but instead used a trajectory change that completely ignored the laws of physics.

You're not planning to fight back or attack, are you trying to control me?

After making such a judgment, Delta gave up the idea of ​​defense and raised her other hand. More magic bullets emerged from her palm.

Facing the Thousand Turbulent Chains that were approaching at great speed, Delta continued to release his magic power, and the wandering light bullets shattered all the chains.

Continuous regeneration and destruction.

It was like the birth of a planet, with endless explosions and extinctions of light.

Delta silently and gradually removed the restrictions on his body, turning every chain that came into his sight into dust.

"…still in production."

Seeing that Rhodes was still creating more chains without changing his expression even after all his chains were broken, Delta tilted his head and made a decision.

"Let's increase the intensity a little bit."

Then, the space behind the big demon in the four directions of up, down, left, and right began to twist rapidly.

Four tornadoes were formed: silver, red, yellow, and blue.

Wind, fire, earth, water.

The magical powers known as the four elements in alchemy appear in their true form.

"Is that a magic that manipulates four attributes at the same time?"

"No, that's not right. That's not magic that is endowed with the four elements at all."

Rin, who is a user of the five elements, denied her sister's statement: "It looks like this, but the nature is obviously worse."

It was not the residue left in the material world, but the original storm that was forcibly dragged out from the Astral World, pressing towards Rhodes from top to bottom.

"..."

Rhodes said nothing and dodged without changing his expression.

The place where he was originally standing and the places that were swept by the storm disappeared equally as if they were erased by an eraser.

Rather than saying it is the four elements extracted from a higher dimension, it would be better to say it is antimatter.

Rhodes smacked his lips.

He probably thought that the aftermath of the conflict with this attack would harm the humans behind him.

Rhodes lifted his feet off the ground and floated up while avoiding the elemental storm.

Delta also tacitly agreed to his actions, and the battle turned into an air battle.

She stood in the sky, controlling the four-color storm to chase Rhodes.

Aerial combat can be said to be Rhodes's forte. He avoided all of Delta's attacks by flying.

As time went by, Delta found that Rhodes was getting closer to her little by little.

"what do you want to do?"

"I have to be a little more serious," Rhodes declared.

Delta raised her eyebrows: "Are you trying to say that you haven't been serious yet..."

In response to her, a strange golden sword appeared in Rhodes' hand.

"Enuma Elish..."

She pronounced the sword's name.

Opening up - showing the beginning of everything, the supreme treasure of the Hero King Gilgamesh.

It is believed to be the pseudo-deification of the planetary power that caused the surface of the earth, which was covered by molten lava and gas, to rotate, break up, and stabilize when the earth was still in its original state.

Most gods began to build countries after the primitive Earth stabilized and became a world inhabited by life, but EA is considered to be a god who created the planet before that.

This sword named EA causes three layers of huge force fields to rotate, thereby causing the flow of time and space, and changing the space itself.

Its real power is not used against a single life, but against the world.

Even among the many treasures that Rhode possesses, this sword is undoubtedly the most powerful, powerful enough to split the world in half.
