Chapter 330: Reversal

"This is my escape route!!!"

Li Mo screamed internally. Unlike that vampire, Li Mo was still in his complete state.

**"Pseudo-Immortality"** was still immortality.

Just like the residents of the **Atlantic Lostbelt** in **Olympus**, as long as they weren't killed in a specific way, they wouldn't die. They could even live for tens of thousands of years.

Li Mo's immortality wasn't at that level, but when facing someone like **Ollerus**, whose attacks were utterly unreasonable, this attribute only allowed him to passively endure the beating.

It was an overwhelming battle.

"Ollerus, how could I forget about this guy?"

Compared to the grand displays of power by the **Magic Gods**, Ollerus, a being standing at the peak of humanity and half a step into the realm of Magic Gods, had a relatively low profile. He was more of a side character, and… his appearance in Academy City seemed to be only once—when he defeated the **#7** esper.

Li Mo remembered this incident. There were so many events in **Toaru Majutsu no Index**, from the Old Testament to the New Testament, all happening within about half a year. With so many events, being able to remember even a portion of them was a testament to his exceptional memory, let alone everything.

Using the momentum from Ollerus's **「Northern European Throne」** attack, Li Mo flew out and then took the opportunity to escape. His target was undoubtedly **District 7**.

—The **Windowless Building**.

"Why hasn't the system judged **Angel Fall** as successful yet?"

If it had, he could have just escaped this world directly. But it hadn't. Was there still a condition missing? Earlier, he had been entirely focused on the **Medicine of God**, trying to obtain information about angels from it to see if he could grow his **fifth tail**…

Now, while escaping toward District 7, Li Mo began to seriously consider his mission.

"Complete **Angel Fall**."

Did it mean the entire process? Did he need to end the **Angel Fall** ritual himself, or did he have to kill the angel and obtain its authority to complete the mission?

In his memory, there were two instances of **Angel Fall**. One was with **Kamijou Touya**, which was purely accidental and had no reference value. The other was with **Fiamma of the Right**.

But upon closer examination, Fiamma didn't use the normal version of **Angel Fall**. Instead, he directly summoned **「Gabriel」** based on the ritual.

In reality, Li Mo could try to end **Angel Fall** directly. He had prepared many plans for this ritual. For example, the **Medicine of God** summoned through the **AIM Diffusion Fields** would be suppressed by the **Artificial Heaven** of Academy City. But from all appearances, the **Medicine of God** showed no signs of being suppressed. Secondly, the ritual site itself was Li Mo's body.

The advantage of this was that he could interrupt the ritual at any time and send the **Medicine of God** back to heaven. If Ollerus hadn't interfered, Li Mo would have wanted to tangle with the **Medicine of God** for a while longer and then decide whether to send the angel back based on the situation. If the mission still wasn't completed by then, he would have taken it one step at a time.

—Now, he could do just that. Leave the world of **Toaru Majutsu no Index**. Ollerus couldn't possibly chase him across worlds, could he? Even **Magic Gods** couldn't leave this universe, let alone him.

But… an awkward situation arose.

"What the hell is the **「Northern European Throne」**?"

The discrepancy lay in the three attacks he had endured from Ollerus. Ollerus referred to his power as the **「Northern European Throne」**, and if Li Mo could, he would have complained about what kind of power this was.

With his current knowledge, he couldn't comprehend this power. As Ollerus himself had said, the **「Northern European Throne」** was an indefinable power. It was a force that couldn't be explained from the perspectives of mysticism, physics, or any other angle. When struck, Li Mo felt as though his entire being—from his flesh and blood to his spiritual core—had been damaged.

—The **「Northern European Throne」** targeted the **entire concept** of a person, not just their skin or soul. It attacked every aspect of a person's existence.

Earlier, Li Mo's entire body had been attacked, and with the help of **Pseudo-Immortality**, he had fully recovered. But the "ritual site" within his body had undergone subtle changes.

As a result, he could no longer cancel the **Angel Fall** ritual.

"How could such a blunder happen?"

Before battling the **Medicine of God**, he had even considered the possibility of physical damage. Thus, the ritual itself was embedded within his spiritual core. Adding things to a self-created spiritual core was supposed to be easy. But the all-encompassing **「Northern European Throne」** had also damaged his spiritual core.

The damage wasn't severe, but it subtly affected the ritual site.

The ritual was still ongoing, but Li Mo couldn't cancel it. He needed time to restore the distorted ritual site, but Ollerus was right behind him.

"You seem to have a clear goal. I'm curious. Is there someone in this city you rely on so much? Secondly, your vitality is truly vigorous. The **#7** of this city, after enduring similar attacks, could only stand up through sheer willpower. But you've fully recovered.

This level of recovery… I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

"Did you disperse the people around us?"

Li Mo looked at Ollerus, who had seemingly teleported in front of him, and spoke.

Ollerus said, "Yes, the **Bounded Field to Expel Outsiders** is quite useful. I assume you also don't want to involve innocents, right?"

Li Mo couldn't argue.

While escaping, he had been running at his maximum speed. Ordinary espers wouldn't even notice his presence, feeling only a gust of wind as he passed.

When Ollerus appeared, Li Mo felt as though a large-scale **Bounded Field to Expel Outsiders** had been activated in this not-so-bustling park. The people around them all left as if sleepwalking.

"Actually, I don't quite understand. Why are you so determined to attack me?"

"I've seen your true nature. A **Beast of Calamity** born from the concept of humanity's self-destruction."

"This is just…"

Li Mo opened his mouth but then gave up.

From his **second tail**, he activated **「End of Four Nights」**, instantly starting a countdown to his death. Even the near-immortal vitality provided by **Pseudo-Immortality** began to be rapidly drained.

The hick fog of mana around him grew denser.

"Giving up? What a subtle existence, this method of draining vitality."

Ollerus raised his hand again, and the **「Northern European Throne」** struck once more, directly hitting Li Mo.

But this time, he made sure not to let Li Mo use the momentum to escape. A being who could quickly recover from his **「Northern European Throne」** and had such a terrifying concentration of mana couldn't be treated as an ordinary opponent.

But strangely, his **「Northern European Throne」** didn't hit its target.

"You really know how to cause trouble for us."

A dog appeared.

A golden retriever.
