A horizontal attack came.
Of course, Kamijou’s right arm could not receive it. Fiamma’s arm was not that simple. Kamijou stuck his right hand forward. At the point where he was on the border of touching Fiamma’s third arm, he twisted the trajectory of his hand so that his palm slid along Fiamma’s arm and then forced his own body to skid to the side.
A tremendous tension ate into his entire body and it felt like it was shortening his lifespan.
However, Kamijou’s right hand was clearly not normal either by the mere fact that he was able to challenge Fiamma’s right arm.
“…!!”
Even after doing all that, Kamijou was unable to counterattack Fiamma.
Fiamma’s body had already disappeared.
Fiamma could not move up or down, but he could travel any distance if it was perfectly level. He had fallen back 3000 meters at once and was now standing atop a different building on the Star of Bethlehem.
At the same time, he fired his next attack.
The remote control spiritual item in Fiamma’s hand fired a beam of light.
“Warning: Chapter 22, Verse 1. Seven seconds until the complete activation of the spell named Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani.”
A blood red beam of light surged out.
The pillar of light was fired from the magic circle that had appeared before Fiamma and it headed straight for Kamijou who stood in the distance ahead of him.
An odd feeling ran up Kamijou’s spine.
He had no memory of it, but an intense feeling of rejection came from something like instinct.
“…!?”
He immediately held out his right hand and an intense pressure that felt like it would break his fingers met it.
He could not blow the entire thing away.
(He’s…!!)
Kamijou gritted his teeth.
(He’s not just relying on his right arm!? With all that, does he really not see it as anything more than awkward and incomplete!?)
And then…
“As a pure spell, it really does have its disadvantages.”
The voice came from directly behind him, but he did not have the leeway needed to turn around. Fiamma was already there. The third arm was holding a giant sword made of light. He swung the sword horizontally aiming for Kamijou’s neck.
Kamijou’s Imagine Breaker could not deal with simultaneous attacks from multiple directions.
It was difficult to negate both at once and those attacks were on a level where even one of them would be enough to crush him.
But Kamijou did not have any leeway in his options.
The blood red beam of light was even then about to crush his body and the sword was accurately closing in to decapitate him from behind.
“Ooooohhhhhhhhh!!” Kamijou yelled and turned his body while keeping his right hand in front of him.
Keeping his right hand in the center, he moved his legs so he was at a 90 degree angle with the Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani beam.
And then he removed his right hand from the beam of light.
He altered the location of his right hand so it was just barely grazing the beam rather than receiving it straight on.
Immediately afterwards, the red beam’s trajectory was forcefully distorted.
It was similar to purposefully missing the center of a bowling pin with the ball in order to knock it to the side. With the beam’s route changed, it flowed diagonally behind Kamijou.
It headed straight for Fiamma who was trying to decapitate him.
(Ye—)
Kamijou turned around when he heard the explosive noise, but his eyes opened wide before he could check on the result.
Fiamma of the Right ignored the approaching red beam of light and swung his third arm horizontally. The sword of light blew away the red beam in one strike and continued to slice through the air toward Kamijou.
He did not have time to bring up his right hand.
Nor did he have time to use his feet to evade.
“!!”
As if he were sweeping his own feet out from under him, Kamijou unhesitatingly threw himself to the floor. The large sword passed above him immediately afterwards. He could tell that it sliced straight through the wall of the fortress. An explosive noise struck Kamijou’s body like a shockwave.
Fiamma smiled thinly.
With the sword still held out, he played with the remote control spiritual item in his hand.
“Consecutive long distance attacks lose accuracy. I confirmed that in the Elizalina Alliance.”
An unnatural red light palely glowed from the remote control spiritual item.
“Warning: Chapter 29, Verse 33. Seven seconds until complete activation of the Scarlet Stone of Pexjarva.”
(Wha—!?)
In shock, Kamijou pressed the bottom of his shoes against the ground in order to stand up and move to his next course of action.
Immediately afterwards, an intense pain crawled up from his toes, to his ankle, his shin, and his knee. The pain was similar to that of having the joints forcibly moved. Something invisible seemed to move along the floor and crawl into his body through his leg.
“Kh…Gaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!”
Kamijou struck his clenched fist against his own thigh.
The intense pain being transmitted from his foot suddenly disappeared.
Kamijou was kneeling on one knee, but Fiamma did not stop there.
“Warning: Chapter 35, Verse 18. Five seconds until complete activation of Sulfur Rain will Scorch the Earth.”
Orange arrow-like objects that held a scorching heat rained down.
It was not just a few.
Almost 50 arrows appeared from near the ceiling and fell down toward Kamijou like a hanging ceiling.
(He’s using both his abilities as a member of God’s Right Seat and his knowledge from Index one after another…!?)
Kamijou gritted his teeth and swung his right arm while still collapsed on the ground.
A few of the arrows turned to orange sparks and were blown away into something like spray. The minute particles were struck by the other arrows that were still targeting him which caused meaningless explosions in midair.
Even then, not all of them had been taken out.
Orange arrows pierced into the floor right next to the boy and the stone shattered. The sharp fragments struck Kamijou’s body as he moved backwards and then stood up on his feet.
