Filial piety: the supreme emperor

"oops."

Nanaya Shiki glanced at Remlia, who was still lying motionless on the ground, and decided to focus on El-Melloi II first. He quickly ran to the II and dragged him to the edge of the battlefield.

“Can you hold on?”

When Nanaya Shiki arrived, he had actually seen El-Melloi II and Lanis in a stalemate, but since Lanis was not human, he did not intervene. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, El-Melloi II was caught off guard by the white-haired boy. If his judgment was correct, the white-haired boy and the vampire should be the same camp of heroes. If not handled properly, the situation will be one-sided.

"You...be careful..."

El-Melloi II couldn't even utter a complete sentence at this moment. Zhuge Liang, whom he relied on, had a weak physique and naturally didn't get much bonus.

On his attribute panel, of the three items related to physical fitness, only agility barely reached D level, while strength and endurance were both the lowest level E. Sudden by Accelerator's fierce attack, this was no longer just a stomachache, his internal organs were probably shattered.

What's worse is that his Command Seals had been exhausted when he activated "The Memorial to the Emperor on Departure". Now all he could do was watch his spiritual base gradually weaken until it dissipated into spiritual particles.

"Forget it... I will use the Command Spell to help you recover from your injuries!"

Nanaya Shiki noticed that the Command Seal on the back of El-Melloi II's hand had disappeared. Without thinking much, he directly used a Command Seal on himself.

However, the magic power of the Command Spell dissipated instantly and had no effect.

This is understandable. Although the Command Spell can give the user absolute command authority and achieve something extraordinary, the prerequisite is that the person being ordered can theoretically complete the action.

For example, if a Servant only has one Noble Phantasm, all the Command Spells can do is instantly release the Noble Phantasm or enhance its effects, but it is impossible to obtain a second Noble Phantasm through the Command Spells.

The situation is the same now. Nanaya Shiki doesn't know how to heal. Even if he uses the Command Spell, he can't heal El-Melloi II's injuries.

"Don't worry about me. Use the command spell to speed up your healing and restore your strength. Then find a chance to leave and meet up with Mu Yi and the others!"

El-Melloi II's face suddenly became abnormally rosy, as if he had recovered his health. He sat up suddenly, grabbed Nanaya Shiki's shoulders and finished speaking in one breath.

After saying this, he fell to the ground again. His condition was worse than before. The edges of his clothes began to slowly turn into spirit particles and dissipate.

"you...!"

Nanaya Shiki had originally planned to fight to the death here. He knew that doing so might not kill any Red Heroic Spirits, but his personality would not allow him to escape - but if El-Melloi II ordered him to do so, then that would be a different matter.

"..."

Finally, Nanaya Shiki followed El-Melloi II's advice, and just as he activated his ability and prepared to leave, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were thrown onto the walls on both sides.

Although Liu Bei and Guan Yu are first-class or even top-level heroic spirits, they are helpless in the face of Accelerator who has black wings behind him.

It’s not that Accelerator’s strength has surpassed the top level, but his "reflection" ability is almost invincible among the same level.

"game over!"

Accelerator manipulated the vectors around him and landed lightly. The plasma energy ball he used against Saitama before suddenly appeared in his right hand. Unlike when he had to charge up for a short time against Saitama, it was easy for him to concentrate this attack now. Obviously, his strength was stronger than yesterday.

In the original world of "A Certain Magical Index", the black wings behind him were a mysterious power condensed from the murderous intent in his chest when he lost his ability to calculate during the second battle with Kihara Suta in the later "930 Incident".

But now, he has mastered this mysterious power in advance - and his vector operations have not failed and his calculation ability has not been lost.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Accelerator smiled distortedly as a violent plasma storm swept over, engulfing the three people lying on the ground and even swallowing half of the wall of the room.

It is unknown what he experienced after waking up next to DIO, but what is certain is that Accelerator has been corroded by overwhelming evil and his mental state is definitely not normal. He has abandoned all his ideologies and only wants to destroy the world with the black wings behind him.

"You are Archer from the red team, right? In other words, you are the teammate who didn't join us earlier?"

Remlia had returned to normal at some point, as if the person lying on the ground just now was not her. Although she was a little confused, she at least figured out Accelerator's faction and class.

——Since we are teammates, we should be able to communicate.

Remlia thought so, but when Accelerator turned around with a twisted smile, she felt a sense of foreboding and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Yeah, that's right. I'm your teammate."

Accelerator said, turned his head completely, and raised his right hand towards Remlia.

This action made Remlia's premonition even worse, however, before she could turn around, something strange happened.

“——?!”

Remlia screamed in pain, and the blood vessels in her arms swelled inexplicably. Then, she felt a thick blood path extending from her fingertips to her shoulders, and the inside of her skin cracked, and bright red blood gushed out...

Even if you are the leader of the vampires, you will collapse if you lose too much blood.

What's more, Remlia was covered in wounds by Accelerator's sudden attack. All the blood vessels in her body burst at the same moment, accompanied by dull explosions. She felt like countless small bombs exploded inside her body.

"Ouch...!"

Even being beaten up by the old veteran Yakumo Yukari wasn't this bad. At this moment, Remlia felt not only angry but also a little wronged.

"Aren't you my teammate?"

Remlia had been in Gensokyo for too long and had forgotten how cruel the outside world was. Accelerator's only response was wild laughter and more violent attacks.

So what if they are teammates? There is no reason to show mercy here—

"Click."

There was a crisp sound from Remlia's cervical vertebrae, and Accelerator used the enhanced vector control to break her neck in mid-air.

"Tsk, let the rat run away."

Accelerator put his hands in his pockets, no longer looking at Remlia, who was in tatters due to ruptured blood vessels. He clicked his lips, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even colder.

——The game of cat and mouse is quite entertaining.

Just as he was about to adjust his pace and leave, Accelerator felt a fatal threat from behind.

It was an attack that even the enhanced vector operation could not resist. The next moment, he was pierced by a dazzling meteor.

"cough...!"

Accelerator's movements stopped, the black wings that gave him power vanished, he opened his mouth to say something but only a fishy-sweet breath came out.

Can't go on anymore?

Accelerator lowered his head with difficulty, and saw a huge hole in his chest. His lower body was soaked in blood. He was powerless.

Ah, is this death?

Accelerator collapsed to the ground, regaining consciousness. In his blurred vision, he recalled the figure who had talked to him.

"Boss Dio... the power I gained by sacrificing myself... isn't it strong enough..."

No matter how powerful he is, Accelerator is just an impressionable boy. After hearing the words of a charismatic person like Dio, he believed it.

But now, he found that was not the case.

So, how can one surpass the "strongest" and become "invincible"?

At this point, Archer, Accelerator, of the red team is out.

"Is that guy dead...?"

Remlia raised her head slightly, and watched Accelerator transform into a spirit particle and disappear, and the resentment in her heart dissipated a little.

There was no doubt that the attack that ignored Accelerator's defense and pierced through his body in an instant was Remlia's magic spear [Spear the Gungnir].

Accelerator's attack strategy against Remlia was very thorough, and he considered both the heart and the brain. An ordinary vampire would surely die under his continuous attacks.

But Remlia is different, she is not just a vampire.

In fact, she also possesses demonic characteristics. She is not afraid of the cross but is afraid of large amounts of running water - this is the peculiarity of the fusion of vampires and demons, and her vitality is therefore stronger than that of vampires.

"So, why did you suddenly attack me, even though I'm your teammate...was that Archer a lunatic?"

After a while, Remlia reluctantly stood up, looked at the hole in the wall and sighed.

Because she promised Lannis yesterday to use the fog around the Scarlet Devil Mansion to set up the array, after Lannis left, the fog could no longer block the sunlight. Fortunately, it was cloudy at the moment, otherwise she would not be able to withstand the direct sunlight.

Her magic power was exhausted and she could not resist the sunlight.

"You're half right, Miss Vampire."

"!"

Remlia's body, which had just relaxed, tensed up instantly. She secretly gathered magic power in her right hand, preparing to cast the magic spear again, and turned her head back stiffly.

"Why are you back——?"

The person who appeared in the corner was Nanaya Shiki, who had just left using the power of the fruit. He came back for no special reason, but he saw the light of the divine spear flash by, and guessed that the red team might be fighting internally, so he decided to take a look - and he really gained something.

"Don't look at me like that. I know it's a bit mean, but this is a life-and-death Holy Grail War, so there's nothing wrong with doing this."

Nanaya Shiki spread his hands, as if he was really explaining to Remlia.

——"I see. Then why do you think I'm the winner, and not that neurotic Archer?"

Remlia wanted to concentrate her magic spear to buy time, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw a cold light approaching her eyes, and everything ended at this moment.

"No matter who survives, I will use this method to kill him..."

The voice rang in Remlia's ears, and Nanaya Shiki seemed to have read her mind, or as if he was talking to himself. In short, he showed his determination.

"Extreme Death: Seven Nights - the name of this move..."

Even though they are not the same person, Shiki, who has the same face, still ends with this sentence.

"...Get it? This is killing."

At this point, the Red Team's Lancer, Remlia Scarlet, was out.
