Holding Ryder, she rolled over, causing herself to bump into a tree. Hatsune Miku let out a soft moan.

She opened her eyes with a slight pain, and then saw the scene before her.

A ferocious beast.

A jackal monster with scarlet eyes, resembling a demon.

Only at this moment did they finally see clearly what kind of figure it was.

"Varied……?!"

Hatsune Miku's eyes widened immediately.

The monster looked over and stared intently at Hatsune Miku in front of it with its extremely scarlet eyes.

A loud shout exploded.

"Roar! Ro ...

The monster charged straight towards the two of them in one breath.

"Stop!"

Hatsune Miku immediately shouted in a sweet voice, which stopped the monster in front of her in place, buying her some time.

She quickly pulled Ryder up from beside her.

"Hurry up, Ryder!"

"I...I understand...!"

Ryder finally realized that this was no game at all.

That was an extremely dangerous monster, not part of the game content at all.

Without hesitation, he started running alongside Hatsune Miku.

Thump—! The two were rushing through the forest when they could hear one heavy thud after another coming from behind them.

The monster has caught up.

"Hatsune Miku-neechan!"

"Don't be afraid, Ryder...I will protect you!"

Hatsune Miku has no combat abilities whatsoever. Even if she knows some kendo, it would be difficult for her to use it effectively against monsters like that.

Therefore, she can only rely on her own abilities to handle it.

Hatsune Miku turned her head back, and the monster behind her rushed towards them at a speed that surpassed their own.

She took a deep breath.

If it were me, I should be able to perform further operations.

Just like when facing the zombies in the zombie world before, now that he can further control the zombies' actions, instead of just stopping them.

So it should also work against this ferocious beast.

"Follow my instructions, crash into the rock to the side!"

She shouted loudly.

The voice seemed to be imbued with some unseen power; the moment the monster heard those words, it immediately stopped what it was doing.

Then, like a robot, it charged violently into a boulder on the side.

Boom——! !

The powerful impact even shattered the rocks, and because of this impact, a higher boulder crashed down, instantly striking the monster's head and causing it to fall to the ground.

It worked!

However, what happened next brought Hatsune Miku to a complete halt.

They kept running forward while dealing with the monster behind them.

So, did they pay attention to the situation described earlier?

"You're kidding, right...?"

Hatsune Miku immediately grabbed Ryder beside her and stopped herself.

She did indeed defeat a monster that was relentlessly pursuing them.

But who said there was only one of these monsters?

Nobody has said that.

Right at this moment, one scarlet shadow after another emerged from the bushes in front of Hatsune Miku.

They were all the same monsters as before.

Even their eyes were the same scarlet red, and drool dripped from their mouths; they looked even more ferocious than jackals.

In reality, monsters of this level are not ordinary jungle beasts at all.

They have a larger number.

They have much larger bodies.

Most importantly, they are definitely not as simple as ordinary wild animals.

It's just like a legendary monster.

"This is terrible..."

The girl swallowed unconsciously.

This number cannot be summarized as just a few dozen or a hundred.

There must have been at least several hundred magical beasts, which were scattered throughout the forest.

Their only goal is the two prey right in front of them.

Hatsune Miku took a deep breath.

She was terrified. As an ordinary girl, even after experiencing so many events, she could never face it all with equanimity.

Everyone is afraid of death and danger, let alone a girl like her.

but.

She cared more about the child's safety than her own.

"No matter what, we must at least keep Ryder safe!"

The girl gritted her teeth and made a declaration.

"No one move!"

She shouted at almost the loudest voice she could muster.

Bang! All the monsters came to an abrupt halt at that moment.

Without hesitation, she grabbed Ryder and ran swiftly toward a gap-like opening.

Roar—! The monster's roar came from behind her again.

Hatsune Miku knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to outrun these monsters on her own.

So all she could do was try to buy as much time as possible.

If only we could wait for that person to come!

Bang! The road in front of them was instantly cut off.

And so, under their watchful eyes, the enormous figure rushed towards them in one breath.

“Shit!”

Hatsune Miku's eyes widened in utter shock.

The monster that came into view slashed towards the girl's delicate face with its incredibly sharp claws.

We've reached a dead end.

--Then.

The wind picked up.

call----! ! !

The wind speed, exceeding that of a Category 12 typhoon, suddenly surged up, tearing the air apart and destroying everything in sight.

The monster's body was torn apart in one breath into particles smaller than minced meat.

Right now.

"...I'm too lazy to say anything more."

A tyrannical tone reigns supreme here.

Under Hatsune Miku's gaze, accompanied by four tornadoes, descended a terrifying figure that was scorching white.

That was a genuine monster, representing the scythe wielded by Death.

"So think carefully before you do something stupid, you idiot young lady."

Even just by looking at their backs, Hatsune Miku can still recognize who they are.

A relieved expression immediately appeared on her face.

"One side..."

She gazed intently at the figure before her, a look of joy unconsciously spreading across her face.

Next.

—The white-haired, red-eyed monster looked over with eyes as red as those of the other monsters.

"You bunch of trash, don't you dare piss me off!"

He placed his right foot on the ground.

BOOM! ...

An earthquake covering a radius of one kilometer tore the ground apart, sending all the monsters flying into the air.

Accelerator is the strongest Level 5 esper in Academy City.

He can manipulate the direction of all energy to launch attacks, and naturally, even unscientific energy is included in this category.

For example, there is a substance called magic contained in the atmosphere of this world.

boom--

There was nothing in the air, but it was as if it were perfectly normal.

Flames erupted.

Crimson flames burned alongside the hurricane, and finally, a towering fire tornado, controlled by a powerful force, erupted before everyone's eyes.

All the magical beasts were devoured by this attack and completely annihilated in the fiery tornado.

Accelerator's ability is not about creation, but about manipulation. As mentioned before, if there is no water or fire, he can only attack enemies using the limited resources around him.

His computational power was at most limited to manipulating the human brain. At that time, he couldn't even use the most basic reflexes. For a power user to exert their power, they first need computational power. He simply couldn't reorganize matter itself to create other powers, or even create oxygen out of thin air. That was just wishful thinking—at least for now.

But the magic is different.

The magic in the atmosphere is different; there is fire magic, wind magic, and earth magic.

Accelerator, on the other hand, only needs to choose the magic he needs.

By manipulating fire-attribute magic, he can conjure flames or ice out of thin air, and simultaneously create fire attacks comparable to Roswaal's magic.

Manipulating the wind element allows one to create storms that defy the laws of physics; similarly, the earth element can create even greater destructive power and attacks over a wider area.

His potential is far beyond his own imagination.

And with just this one strike, they had already wiped out hundreds of magical beasts.

The fight didn't even last three seconds.

"That's so boring."

This doesn't even qualify as a warm-up.
