Well I'm still shocked at this being liked so much, I hope it continues to be liked and that I continue to please. Best remember not to let it get to my head of course. Anyways luckily been getting frequent ideas and backlog, if I don't write out the next chap in it though It may be a little longer before I post again. The story has become fairly more solidified in my mind so I should be able to complete it before long. Anyways onto reviews,

Comrade-elmo1:{I did have an amazing Vacation, thank you. Yes Othinus likely did and Touma doesn't want to know what it was about.

Yeah I really don't think with Touma's skill to read people that he wouldn't notice it. And who knows, maybe you'll see my take on how he'd deal with it.

Yes… and it's not even late spring, Muireann get the damn memo!

Touma denies any and all accusations that he is not normal.

Celt ain't to be fucked with indeed.}

5had0wHand:{First… how do you post two reviews on the same chap!?

Yeah I don't think it can be covered up this time. But I doubt I'll be able to tackle that issue in this story.

Accei is Touma's first bro! No way would leave him hanging. Even if he doesn't want to leave his cell.

As the guy who often always played a bard.. how dare you! We do more than lay the dragon ;(

Touma's the dragon and they are jewels in his treasury don't take from him

Well at that point Celt would actually be grateful for him as it means the city that she loves most of all wasbecause of him.

Don't worry… Ainmire will absolutely get what's coming for him. Heh, don't hold your breath, if you collared a fic with me we could both make OC's but this is my personal project. Thanks though, I'll take that as a compliment}

Whwsms:{Yeahh… that's not gonna end well for them is it?

Leann Sidhe's are terrifying aren't they?

Ah DMC3 thanks for the clarification}

And with that let this tale of an infinity commence once more!

Chapter 28

Bard of Reality

Time seemed to slow down for Kamijou as the electron fusion beam flew towards him, in that moment his entire brain had gone into overdrive. Fight or Flight kicked in as it was a worst case scenario. But even as he saw the beam heading towards him he had already tilted to the side right hand up, held forward pointing towards the beam, but tilted slightly. His left leg was back ready to brace for an impact. It was as if he had already known when and how it was gonna hit. Time then returned to flowing normal and was it just him or was that beam further back than he recalled?

The beam hit his hand and split down the middle striking the two beams that were aimed at Index and Misaka. Their collision then collided with the fourth aimed at Othinus. Kamijou's left leg braced the impact perfectly, his eyes widened in shock but a pulsing was felt in the back of his mind. He felt a terror long past boiling to the surface breaking through layers and layers of suppression. His pulse quickened his breathing became heavy, he began to sweat as an image began to colese in his mind.

"Touma! Don't let that trauma stop you from saving Kazakiri!" a voice called from his shoulder and he suddenly felt his body leapt back and duck as a beam of energy flew past. It continued on diagonally upwards and cut through a few buildings, as they began to crumble and shake the ground. He glanced and saw Othinus her eye panicked as she stared at him clear on her face.

"Othinus? Did… you just use my name?" He said the pulsing was still there but Adrenaline had taken over. He had to save Arisa and Kazakiri, he couldn't fall now. Dark matter began to rise around them and take more organic forms. One such creature made a swipe at Kamijou.

His Understander smiled as she nudged his cheek causing him to make a backflip even though he didn't know he could. "Of course Kamijou Touma, my Understander" the god smiled.

Stiyl's voice shouted up over the din of the battle. "Now!" and he pulled out a cross that had a rock salt crystal in it with his left hand. He held his right hand over the cross, and quickly muttered a spell even as his vessels burst, "although I am not worthy to receive you, only say the word and my soul shall be healed" Instantly new injuries stopped forming. And the one's he had seemed to stop bleeding.

As soon as they heard him each of the magicians took turns using the spell on each other or themselves. Tatemyia quickly casted it on himself and then Muireann. Who then used her own healing spell on her wrist. Kanzaki used it on herself and Itsuwa on herself. The Amakusas used it on each other and even performed quick healing spells.

This was a spell that they had prepared before entering battle, Kamijou didn't know the details. But from what he heard it would continually purify the mana in the air around them and stop any bleeding that had occured before. Thus they no longer needed to worry about the AIM-Mana

The pulsing in the back of Kamijou's mind continued but adrenaline forced it back. He grinned at Othinus's remark and spun on his heel fist held back and threw it. It collided with a Dark Matter creature that looked like a cross between an Athurploura and a Scorpion. It rotated just so that it's disintegrating body collided with a column of water that was launched towards Tatemiya and Murieann, who had just gotten up from their collision. The collision with the Dark matter creature tore it apart and diverted the water just off to the side. One of its claws was sent flying into one of the dark matter canons hovering next to Celt causing it to fizzle and collapse before melting.

For some reason Kamijou couldn't say he was surprised by the result. Almost like he had done something like it countless times before.

Othinus flipped backwards on his shoulder standing on one hand and kicked two falling objects, a sharp metal pole and a glass shard. She then pivoted on her standing hand and used her second to grab Touma's hoodie and flip around over to his second shoulder and use her momentum to knock another object. A piece of construction rebar to the side, the objects she kicked hit into other falling objects. This caused a chain collision that knocked all the objects that would have caused severe injury to Kamijou and her out of the way.

Stiyl who had just dispatched a dark matter construct, a worm-like thing looked to Kamijou in shock. "How in the actual world did you do that Kamijou!" he shouted as he Sliced through another construct with a flaming blade.

Murieann had just leapt over a piece of flung earth and through a distorted gravity field to slice another dark matter construct. This one looked like a fusion of a dove and a lion, It roared and fell as she glanced at Touma in awe, her face flushed."Oh-my god that was so so….. Awesome!". Her expression was one that was often accompanied by heart eyes in romcoms.

"LYTUATTTRCRAC(Lift Your Tail Upwards And Turn To The Right Claw Raised And Close) Touma I didn't know you could do that!" Index Shouted as she caused a massive Scorpion Snake Dark Matter construct to pierce a flying Bird-rhinoceros beetle Dark Matter construct with its tail. And crush a large Spider Lizard one with its claw but not before they ended up running it through as well. Causing all three to collapse and melt.

Itsuwa and Kanzaki had headed Towards Celt, locking her into physical combat despite her keeping up with the saint's supersonic speeds. "D-did Kamijou-san Really just do that!? That was so cool!" Itsuwa shouted as she ducked under Celt's arm and tried to kick her legs.

"I-I think he just did! When did he have such skill!?" Kanzaki replied with a slightly red face. She swung her Nodachi Shichiten Shichitou at Celt from the side hoping to cut her off.

Celt merely leapt above Itsuwa's kick and spun over Kanzaki's sword strike and grabbed the blade spinning round mid air a pinging sound was heard and the Nodachi was launched along with Kanzaki into the air. She then brought her foot down towards Itsuwa, it caught fire and then blazed, dark matter surrounded it causing it to seem to blur into three separate places.

Itsuwa rolled just as Muireann charged in and slashed with her steel daggers, the wet ground giving her increased strength, speed and endurance. Celt moved her foot just in time to miss the daggers, but three molten crater impacts shook the ground as Muireann grabbed a floating channel of water in front of her and spun out of the way.

A swirl or iron sand clashed and cut through another Dark Matter Construct. One that looked like a really freaky flower that had too much fun with snapchat filters*1. It screamed, laughed and wilted before Misaka landed nearby, halting a mass of metal that was thrown towards Itsuwa and Kanzaki and sending it into a wall. "When the hell could you do that Idiot!? You've been going easy on me this whole time!?" She then used her power to divert two more Electron beams and sent them into more Dark Matter constructs and one back at celt.

In her dance and song Celt slammed the energy beam into the air. A completely Illogical action that the number seven could be seen doing but not to the extent she did. The electron sphere hurtled upwards but then slowed down and began to fall in an arc that completely defied the nature of it's makeup. It darkened then became pitch black and a whining sucking sound was heard as it collapsed, gaining speed.

Falling Directly towards the Amakusa who were just managing to escape the distorted gravity area Celt had created around them. Hearing the sound of suction they jumped out of the way in pairs of three covering each other's backs and fronts. What was once a beam of electrons surrounded by plasma. Was now a whining black sphere of ever hungry power. It entered the distorted gravity zone right in the middle of the Amakusas.

And Detonated.

A blinding flash of light was seen and a Touma ducked, a figure passed in front of him just before the detonation. And the light faded standing in front of Touma with her shield defending them was Yomikawa Aiho.

"Holy shit did she really just create a black hole like that? I'm not even gonna try to understand what you've gotten yourself into Kamijou" But even if it isn't much, allow us Teachers to defend you kids the best we can. His PE teacher and a member of Anti-skill smiled at Touma.

Touma glanced around and noticed that the flash of light must have even affected Celt herself. She was still singing and dancing but she was closing her eyes and only reacting to things that got close to her. A hail of bullet fire was heard as celt danced between the projectiles.

"I don't know who you kids are and I'm gonna have a stern talking to you later. But If you got an idea of how the hell she's doing this and how to stop her. We can't say no to your help, not since that kid told us to aid you." Yomikawa glared at the younger magicians in the area.

"I was gonna cover my eyes Yomikawa and I wasn't near the blast, why did you defend me instead of someone unprepared?" Touma asked quizzically as he looked around The Amakusas were mostly out of commission, it took most of what they had to survive the blast that left the rock a literal molten mess or just outright vaporized.

Othinus spoke up from his Shoulder as she Kicked the claw of another Dark Matter construct into Touma's fist as he ducked away from it's large beak. "Human like she said that was a black hole, it wasn't stable and definitely shouldn't have lasted the time it did. But the moment it evaporated all the energy in it was released. That created so much heat that, at the epicenter was a fusion reaction. We likely aren't safe or okay but we're better off than if she hadn't blocked us before the detonation."

Touma raised an eyebrow as he leapt backwards smacking two metal poles thrown at him by celt with his feet as he landed on his left hand and spun counterclockwise negating the many legs of a massive spider like Dark Matter construct. "Why's that?"

Othinus ran along his leg as he kicked one of the metal poles out of the air and leapt. She then kicked a metal needle so that it flew past a mass of electricity and a tendril of water bursting out of the ground. This caused the electrical mass to divert course through the needle and into the water. Causing a Dark Matter construct that looked like a large Fish combined with a bat winged snake to fry. "Because it released a mass of radiation, gamma and the like."

Touma's face paled slightly after hearing that, the pulsing in his mind growing ever stronger. But the Adrenaline matching it "O-oh" He said as he leapt forward rolling under another Dark Matter Construct that Looked like a winged T-Rex. He grabbed it's tail with his left hand and braced that hand with his right and spun on his feet.

He didn't know why or how he had such ridiculous strength, or if the Dark Matter Draco-rex was just that light. But it roared as it was lifted off the ground and spun towards the second Dark Matter cannon hovering next to Celt. A rotating clicking sound came from it before it firing at Anti-skill trucks Anti-skill abandoned it before it got hit. And the beam hit, the truck seemed to twist and distort as if it was a visual glitch in a video game.

It then vanished, that's when Kamijou let just the pinky of his right hand touch the Draco-rex's tail causing it to fly from his grasps disintegrating. It nearly hit the cannon but, Celt's eyes snapped open and she swung her hand around. Cutting the Draco-Rex into so many pieces even Touma didn't know if he could count them all.

"We need to get rid of that weird cannon thing she has right now!" Touma shouted "I can't get any closer if she has it. And it's causing massive amounts of collateral damage!"

Yomikawa nodded gritting her teeth in horror "Agreed we already have around 20 fatalities from the initial strike alone. You heard the kid! Fire at the damn canons!"

Three streaks of light slammed into the canon and it seemed to get hit on the side from nothing as one of the walls surrounding the facility exploded out. A wooden wheels flew into the middle of a hoard of Dark Matter Constructs and exploded.

"You don't get to tell us what to do, Science worshipper, but because it's a request from Imagine Breaker." A Familiarly smug voice said as the sound of exceedingly high heels rapidly approached. A whooshing sound was heard and metal struck asphalt and the cannon was smacked again this time from the top right back corner. "I don't mind helping out!" said Agnese as she directed her forces. "Alright you guys! Take out those disgusting abominations of life while me, Lucia and Angelene help take out the canon!"

"Yes Agnese!" shouted the Agnese forces as they each moved to take out Dark Matter constructs. They all grouped up in groups of three battle nuns as they took down each construct efficiently.

Yomikawa shouted in shock and worry "No No more children! We can't be having any more on this battlefield! I demand you all to fall back, this battle is for adults!"

But as if just to spite her a familiar pig-tailed teleporter appeared and touched three separate pieces of Dark Matter construct left lying around. Teleporting each of them into a new Dark matter Construct causing them to collapse and melt. "As much as I understand you want us to stand back, miss. I won't let some mysterious out of control esper? Tear my home friends, and family apart. I'm Judgement for crying out loud!"

Kuroko smirked as she landed on the ground and kicked A Dark matter construct's leg, this one looking like a mantis-person cross and locked it in a headlock before throwing it into the air. Teleporting it at the last second into an oncoming mass of electron energy, it shrieked and chattered but then vaporized. She then glared at Touma "You and I will be having a long discussion after this ape."

Touma smiled as he tilted his head to the side and snatched a Dark matter construct's spear-like arm with his left hand, and spun around his right foot to face it. Still holding onto it's arm as he reared his fist back. The Dark Matter construct, a creature that looked like a humanoid spider-like thing with curved spears for upper arms. It's bug-human eyes widened in … fear? Surely not. Before Touma's fist plowed into its chest causing it to scream and get thrown into a group of other Dark Matter constructs. It pierced them with it's limbs trying to assimilate them to escape it's fate. But it only succeeded in bringing them down with it.

"Human if you think those things may be alive, stop now. It only shows fear because it's connected to Celt. That was her fear she's not experienced enough to do what Kakine did and create an entirely new life. Even if she has the creativity to surpass him" Othinus spoke from his shoulder as she leapt up and smacked four more objects out of the air.

Othinus then raised her head, "The scout team has found them let's finish up here."

Touma nodded "all according to plan then? be it with worse results." and he turned to face Celt.

The Dark matter constructs were being destroyed faster than they could be created. And Celt was kneeling on the ground in agony, the strain of the AIM must have been getting to her.

Kanzaki had just returned to the battlefield, having been thrown a fair ways away by Celt. Itsuwa glanced up from the Dark Matter Construct she had just dispatched and smiled.

Touma then stepped forward and clenched his fist "CELT! You're needless fighting has dragged uninvolved people into this! Stop now! Please"

Celt only glanced at Touma with one eye and glared as she continued to sing. Dark Matter erupted around her, it was infused with that energy from before. Touma was positive he knew what it was. It was the same Energy Accel's white wings were made of, but there was more and he couldn't quite tell what. The mass of otherworldly energy infused Dark Matter completely encased Celt Eislyn like an egg and Touma felt a massive foreboding.

"She's about to do something big!"

"She's about to do something extremely bad"

Touma and Index shouted at the same time causing everyone to go to target Celt.

They were going to approach, but then the egg erupted out. Celt's form was different, her outfit was the same but she looked nothing like a Leanan Sidhe should anymore.

Whatever she did with the Dark Matter and the otherworldly energies had made her something else. Large dark gray tendrils like that of a god from a certain author's cosmic horror spread from her back. Energy spanned between them and Eyes lined their length, two large black Tentacles extended from her sides and waved around in tandem with her song and dance. Her hair had become a starry sky, her skin glowed and her eyes looked like nebula's. Her form no longer held pure ethereal beauty but something else, something forbidden. A halo of energy crackled around her head and energy swirled around her arms. It almost looked like a

"L-l-level six… shift!?" Misaka tripped and stumbled back and fell breathing heavily and sweating terribly "hehee… ahaha…. How… how.. Hehea ahahahahahaha can we even beat that."

"Thats not it, she merely gave herself those arms using the Dark Matter, whatever she got from the number seven and the energy accelerator has used. She imagined and implemented the laws for them to function, the halo is just a bi-product of her creativity." Touma spoke oddly calmly and shockingly intelligently. The back of his mind throbbed intensely as he looked at her.

A voice was heard from where Celt stood, It sounded like Celts voice but it echoed and reverberated in impossible ways. But it still held that chime like allure "I will not surrender I will not allow my kind to die and to do that. You must Die, Bane of fey, You and that damnable cursed library!"

Touma felt rage boil within him, but before he could speak another voice interrupted.

"And how many innocent uninvolved people are you going to drag down before you realize how wrong you've been!" Muireann Shouted as she charged towards Celt, steel dagger's brand, when she got to the forefront of the charge, Touma didn't know. But there was one thing he did know,

She was about to get herself killed.

Celt merely closed her eyes as she sung and the song turned sorrowful, and then

"I¨®ß† ø¨† ‡†∑ˆß†"

An incomprehensible word was spoken in tangent with the song. Something that spoke of things humanity had yet to even begun to grasp.

And the world distorted, and Murieann was thrown over 40 feet into the air as everyone else was sent hurtling away towards the walls.

*1: A refrence to Undetale's flowey. Celt loves fictional characters doesn't she?
