The sphere of blood was growing larger with each moment passing by. It already passed 30 meters in height as it engulfed some buildings around it. The divinity was also growing stronger as the environment was changing.
The buildings, trees, cars, even the sky started to turn red like it reflected the color of blood and hell that was behind it. If someone looks hard enough, he can see numerous bloody eyes and mouths screaming in that red color.
Merlin, who was on top of a building at the sides of Fuyuki city, looked at the blood, or this 'Blood God' growing larger as he frowned.
The area was already changing, the reality is rewritten by the blood in a similar fashion of a reality marble, but this one is changing the real world rather than creating a bounded field.
"Just how many souls are in that blood?" Merlin couldn't count the number of trapped souls in the blood. It was like the blood was feeding on their agony and pain while growing stronger.
However, this made Merlin have another doubt. If they have this amount of souls, why do they need the souls and blood of the people in this city?.
{They need sacrifices from this 'World', Merlin} Suddenly, Merlin heard Leo's voice in his head. However, the usual bored and annoyed tone in his voice became slightly monotone.
Merlin raised his eyebrow as he thought for a moment before he said {Like a price from this world to invoke this thing?}
{To guide and link this 'guest' to this world, they need a medium. What better than a fresh sacrifice from this world?} Merlin heard Leo's voice again as he couldn't help but frown. Usually, people won't notice, but Merlin has a bad feeling from that monotone tone.
{Did you analyze the ritual? And… Did something happen to you, Leo?} Merlin said only to receive a light chuckle from Leo.
{To think about it, you were able to appear in this era and even know my true name by one of those links, right?} Leo's words made Merlin's sweat a little because his great sneaking plan was discovered.
{Anyway, I need you to go to this location and release my mana with your Noble Phantasm or something else} Leo said as Merlin took a moment to look at the place. It wasn't far from his location before he said { I can do that, but why?}
{Just do it and as fast as you could} With those words, Leo left the link, which made Merlin's eyebrow twitch.
"*Sigh* I really need to consider getting paid for my work" Merlin sighed before he walked towards the location, which was just around this corner while making sure he doesn't touch the blood around.
Meanwhile, at the church, the blood around almost disappeared completely and allowed the street to be shown again.
"Palkia, if someone tries something funny, hit them with a space earthquake" Leo, who was driving his horse, said in a calm voice while closing his eyes. It was like he was waiting for something.
"Hey, 'master', Nero, wait for my signal" Leo's words made Ritsuka and Nero flinch, but before they said anything, they heard a cl.i.c.k.i.n.g sound.
*Click*
With a cl.i.c.k.i.n.g sound, Leo's necklace was opened and became cross before a wave of mana rushed from him.
*BOOM!!*
The wave of mana cracked the ground under Leo before it pushed everything away. Ritsuka and Rin were almost sent flying, but Archer caught them, even if he was almost blown away too.
Nero stabbed her sword on the ground while Cu just stood firm with his spear, he saw worse weather than this in his life.
Suddenly, the mana began to become thicker and denser as its quality began to change before it turned into Alter Telesma, which is Leo's version from the mana in To Aru's heaven.
Particles of light started floating around before they circled Leo as a book with a chain appeared on his wrist. Like the Qliphoth in his spirit core, the Sephiroth on the book of the law glowed with a faint golden light.
On top of his head, a golden light appeared before it gathered into a halo with seven sharp tips.
Realizing a breath, Leo lowered the holy lance in hand slightly before he opened his eyes that became a slit-like a dragon's pupils.
Inside of his spiritual core, Qliphoth flashed with a sinister red aura before Leo raised the lance in his hand. A red-dark ominous aura appeared from Leo's hand before Rhongomyniad started changing.
The white holy lance became a dark demonic one. The shape also changed as the lance body started rotating slowly in Leo's hand. With each turn, even if the lance is slow, a dark-red storm was generated around it. This is Rhongomyniad alter form.
"Light and shadow are two sides of the same coins, blabla, good and evil, blabla… Everyone knows this stuff by now" Leo waved with the lance to the side before he pulled the reins. Made In Hell's eyes glowed before kicking the ground.
*BOOM!!*
The already cracked ground was shattered with that kick before the horse rushed towards the sphere, leaving a trail of sparks in the air.
"....." Everyone looked at each other as they didn't know what to say. Cu looked at Archer and Palkia before looking at Kirei.
Thinking for a moment while looking at his spear, Cu raised it and walked towards Kirei… They need to have a 'talk'.
Back to the city, a comet of blue flames was running in the street while leaving a blue trail of flames on the ground. A red-dark storm followed the comet as it blew everything away.
Made In Hell was running with its true speed as the wind was howling around him. Wherever he passes, the raging wind will merge with the dark storm and crush everything around it.
However, this was only the start because Made In Hell is just entering the real 'Acceleration' as the blue flames on his hoofs were glowing brighter.
Leo held the reins with one hand while controlling the spinning lance in his other hand. The Qliphoth and Sephiroth gleams started to match before they reached a certain stability.
*BOOOM!!*
Suddenly, without a single warning, some rivers of blood that were going to the sphere changed direction and rushed to Leo. The ground under him also cracked open as the blood from the sewers was rushing.
Creatures started to form from the blood. Apparently, whoever caused this, got a lot of different souls of his victims in that river of blood. Leo glanced at the creatures forming with the corner of his eyes as he was even able to see humanoid creatures like humans in there.
"King Crimson…" Not giving them a chance, Leo said those words quietly as his Stand, King Crimson, appeared behind him.
*CRACK*
The area cracked completely around Leo before it became a dark-red void. The creatures continued their manifestation, but Leo had already left and passed this part of the city while they attacked his previous location.
As his maker, Leo can proudly say, he's one of the few that know the true ability of King Crimson. Unlike what it's told to 'Erase time', King Crimson doesn't actually erase time in that basic fashion. He only makes it 'Absent' from the rest of the world, or at least the area of effect around the user.
For King Crimson, the world exists by three factors in its basic state, which are space, where everything exists, time, where things move and interact with each other, and destiny that means where, when, and how things should happen. These three are linked and if one of them disappeared, it'll affect the other two.
Unlike deleting time, King Crimson makes it absent without affecting how the world works. When that happens, lower life-forms lose their focus because of time disappearance, however, they continue their actions because of destiny like mindless puppets in the space that is still intact without falling into the void.
Glancing at the sphere from a distance, Leo noticed that the sphere didn't stop and kept changing its movement, which means it's immune to King Crimson's ability. This shows two things, it either has a counter ability or it's a higher life-form.
Made In Hell's speed kept increasing as the air around him was getting hotter because of the friction, even the flames under his hoofs started to melt the ground while making a trail, but Leo didn't care that much as he increased the speed further. He already entered an area with a lot of blood, it even became a whole lake in the middle of the city.
At this moment, King Crimson's ability was countered by the world's correction power, and the time came back to work. Everyone regained their senses before the blood exploded again.
"ROAAAAAAARRR!!!!" Giants monsters appeared from the lake and rushed towards Leo while breaking the sound barrier.
Dragons, serpents, and a lot of fantasy creatures with a huge size made a tsunami while rushing towards Leo. Buildings were crushed just by sheer power when the monster passed as they joined the flood.
Dragons and monsters started to throw ice, fire, lightning, and a lot of other attacks at Leo. This literally became a rain of arrows in the form of magical attacks as it covered Leo's vision completely.
Everything was happening in an instance, so it was obvious how strong the power and the control of this blood user, but Leo gazed at it with a lack of interest.
(A/N: When you see ** it means Leo is talking with the angelic language)
"** 40, 9, 6, 1. The total is 56. Mem, Tet, Vau, Aleph! Water, release yourself from filth, and bring judgment to thee!**" Leo's lips moved very quickly as he finished his words in an instant, but the sound came like a high pitch gibberish with an echo. The book of the law opened up as its gleam increased.
However, those words were very strange as the surrounding was distorted by the echo. When Leo said those words, his Origin, The Fool, moved as four paths and positions in both Kabbalah glowed.
Suddenly, the ground started shaking while all the creatures in the blood stopped. They began struggling before the sound of corrosion was heard. Even the movement of all the blood in the city became dull.
Leo waved his free hand upward before the blood tsunami that was supposed to attack him, changed direction, and became a barrier that took all the attacks head-on while using some monsters as a meat shield.
*BOOOOM!!!*
Explosions echoed in the blood, but it soon extinguished when it was drowned by the huge amount of blood. Leo didn't stop as he jumped with Made In Hell before waving his hand again.
The blood around became completely dull before water appeared from it. Like oil and water, the water left the plasma in the blood and became unable to blend with it.
Like having a mind of its own, the water automatically rushed with a huge speed towards the monsters. It began to tie them down or pierce while they screamed in pain because their bodies are melting.
This didn't end because the water and blood started rising.
Like a tide, the blood and water retreated from this place. The drowned buildings and streets finally started showing again as the wave was rushing towards the blood sphere.
Leo didn't look at the result as he continued rushing forwards with the tide. Made In Hell speed increased again before the flames exploded from his hoofs and blasted forwards in the air.
The blood sphere didn't care about the wave coming towards it, or couldn't care because it was working with instinct for now. It continued drawing blood from the surrounding, however, that blood was mixed with some water from Leo.
When that happened, the blood sphere stopped for a moment, even its crimson red color became dull. Instinct or not, the sphere figured out what was that thing just now… It was holy water… A very pure holy water.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Chilling screams rushed into the sky, filled with pain and suffering. It sounded like a beast and a person were screaming at the same time as it gave everyone in the city a headache, even the other cities in japan felt the same thing.
After the screams, the sphere waved with its bloody tentacles as it pushed the wave of holy water away, it even began to use its divinity to change the water into blood, but the water didn't change immediately. The change was very slow as the water continued it advancing.
This angered the sphere completely as it tentacles stretched towards the sky before rushing towards Leo. They were faster than any monster Leo saw in this blood as they reached him almost instantly.
"King Crimson!!" Glancing at the blood tentacles, Leo smiled a little before he pulled Made In Hell's reins.
Made In Hell finally gathered enough speed before getting the signal from Leo when King Crimson erased time.
*BOOOOOM!!!!*
With a sonic boom, Leo and Made In Hell disappeared from their place. What left was a blue trail of flames that burned the tentacles from the blood sphere, however, it didn't last for long before Leo and Made In Hell appeared again in the same place and kicked what was left from the tentacles.
They were smoking with heat, like they were burning. That was only the effect of fast speed because if someone looked from the sky, he'd see a triangle made from blue flames around Fuyuki city with the sphere in the middle.
All the blood and monsters around those blue flames turned into ashes and nothing was able to come closer to it.
This is the power of Made In Hell, which is based on VI. His power allows him to accelerate his time to reach imaginable speeds. When that happens, all the living things around the blue flames will decay and die. Although it isn't strong like VI, who is the stronger beast of Leo, it's extremely effective, especially against something like this blood.
Merlin, who arrived at the location and wanted to use his Noble Phantasm, saw the blue flames trail appear in front of him suddenly. Although he can sense Leo's mana in it, all his instincts tell him to not touch the flames.
Leo looked at the sphere in the middle of the triangle before he raised his arm and said with a gibberish voice " **40, 30, 5, 1. The total is 76. Mem, Lamed, Heh, Aleph! Oh water, form on my palm and show your glory!**"
Leo's voice echoed again before the moisture in the air began to change and gather on his palm. More and more holy water floated above Leo as his beast, Alrescha-Glacies, manifested from his body. The water started freezing slightly, but before it did, Venom threw two runes on it.
Isa(ᛁ) The Rune of Ice and reinforcing runes around it. Thurisaz:(ᚦ) The Rune of Thorns, conflict, purging, and directed force of destruction. These two runes can form a simple spell of an ice arrow with more than the regular elementals attacks.
The two runes floated before Alrescha-Glacies waved her hand and gathered the water into a giant thorn of ice. Gathering its power, Alrescha throws it like a meteor across the city.
The thorn was freezing everything around it while rushing towards the blood sphere, however, it didn't hit it. It just passed next to it. The sphere and the blood around it became even more dull because of the coldness. The normal ice can't affect this sphere, but strangely, this one was able to slow its movements.
The thorn of ice continued its flight before it struck the ground on the third corner of the triangle.
At this moment, Leo, Merlin, and thorn on ice were on the three corners of the triangles. Like it was calculated, each one of them started releasing mana at the same time.
From above, it looked like three positions were glowing in the corners of the triangle before all of it started glowing and raising from the ground.
Merlin, who released his Noble Phantasm with Leo's mana, saw this as he retreated immediately with a shocked expression on his face because he understood what's going on… This guy, who loves to blow things up, is using magecraft and actually a complicated one!!.
The triangle raised 100 meters above Fuyuki city before it stopped. The blood's area wasn't able to continue its infection because it started burning when colliding with it.
Leo looked at this as he took a deep breath before using his link with the spell and teleporting far above the triangle.
"You know? I don't like this world, but I discovered now that I hate it to my very core…" Leo had an annoyed expression on his face before he said " Making me use something so complicated that it gives me headaches… I almost bit my tongue, how dare you"
When Leo was complaining, the triangle under him started rotating before it became a blue magic-circle with a large number of symbols and runes on it.
What Leo was mumbling with his angelic language was actually chants for his magic from To Aru or magecraft from this world.
Angels from To Aru are beings related to sephiroth, so they can instinctively use a magic called Kabbalah magic or magecraft in this world.
This magecraft is focusing on deciphering codes in the religion of Christianity and figuring the meaning behind those messages. The user tries to find mystical meanings in arrangements of letters and numbers.
It grants those who decipher them power and even some strong people can invoke and summon the power of angels and those mythical beings.
Leo, as an angel, can use that magecraft easily, and stronger than any human because of his angelic language, however, there's a more important factor, which is his Origin, The Fool.
In the Major Arcana that used to represent the 22 paths in kabbalah, the Fool is number 0, which gives magi a headache when including it in the ritual because you can put it anywhere from 1 to 22.
Using this concept, Leo, as the Fool, an angel, and the devil, was able to substitute himself in the paths and spots in both trees of kabbalah, drawing power from all other demons and angels. This really reflects the Fool, who is a master of none. This is the power of his skill, Self-Modification EX.
Like now he substituted himself with Gabriel, whose element is water, and summoned some of its power to this world.
An angel is an angel, even if it was weaker than the sphere, but that water has some of Gabriel's power in it, which turned it into a deadly poison for whatever in that sphere.
This maneuver in the magecraft system is only available for Leo, who has the Origin of the Fool. Like Shirou's swords and Shinji's flow. This power doesn't belong to Lucifer or Beast VI, it's more related to Leo's personal angel power, which was covered with Lucifer's one because of a lot of reasons.
However, there's something very important about these maneuvers. Although Leo can use it easily, he won't do that because… It needs singing and chanting!!.
Do you have any idea how many times he almost bit his tongue?! And how embarrassing it'll be if he did it in the middle of the battle?!. Do you think angelic language with spells is easy?!.
Leo was struggling to not mess it up while calculating a ton of complicated stuff about this magecraft.
"Anyway, let's end this…" Leo shook his head before he glanced at the giant magic-circle under him and raised the lance in his hand towards the sky.
*Click*
The lance seemed to be released from something before its rotation speed increased suddenly. Its rotation speed increased quickly as a red-dark storm appeared above Leo.
The storm grew larger and larger as the clouds also started to rotate with it before it covered the sky above Fuyuki city, even the sunlight wasn't able to reach the city now.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" The sphere, which woke up to the gravity of the situation, screamed again before it tentacles rushed towards the sky, but they were blocked by the magic-circle and the storm. Apparently, the farther the blood goes, the weaker it'll become.
"**1, 3. Aleph, Gimel. From Heaven, I announce the law!!**" Leo's voice echoed in the surroundings as the magic-circle under him started glowing before spinning quickly. The Book of the Law was also getting brighter.
"**6. Vau. Pray, pray, pray, son of man. Here is my mercy!**" With those words, Leo started lowering the lance as the storm followed his movement, it was like he was dragging all the sky with him.
In Fuyuki city, the humans, who were included in the ritual, started mumbling some weird words before the magic-circle glowed brighter.
"** 1. The total is 11. Aleph. In the name of Evil, I announce the law**" Leo said those words before he pointed with the lance and the storm towards the magic-circle. Made In Hell started running towards the circle as they were engulfed in the dark storm.
The circle began to absorb the storm as its glow started to burn and purify the blood in the city.
Suddenly, some bright light appeared in the middle of the storm before a loud voice was heard all around japan.
*BOOOOOOM!!!!*
"My number is 11. The stepping stone of wickedness that supports the good deeds!!!" The gigantic dark storm exploded by light as Rhongomyniad returned to its holy form before Leo passed the magic-circle and turned into a meteor of light.
The light brightened all the city as it cleared the blood instantly. This is a higher concept falling from heaven as the sphere was crushed towards the ground.
Suddenly, it lost most of its power and it was in great pain! Anything it was doing was bringing more pain. The blood was filled with the holy water, even the human blood isn't available now.
It couldn't take fresh blood from them because when it did, it was hit with an intense pain like it was ignited on fire. The sphere felt all the blood in the surrounding, the source of its power, became a poison and a curse instead.
The principle behind Leo spell now uses evil to achieve justice to the poor. Sometimes, evil is necessary to uphold justice.
Himself and the blood sphere are evil in the point of view of humanity, so he chose to become the stepping stone of justice and increase his light and holy power with the support of humans in the city. This allowed him to channel Alaya's power via those humans d.e.s.i.r.e to survive, even if he was a Beast.
This turned all the blood and the souls of the humans in the city into a curse for the sphere.
"What in the name of Avalon is this?!" Merlin stared blankly at the sky, looking at the golden meteor falling from heaven while purifying everything in its way.
These maneuvers, These concepts, this knowledge, and the disgusting complicated meanings that most people won't understand.
Turning all the strength and advantages of the enemy into a literal poison while pushing them into the edge with just a few movements using his knowledge in magecraft.
These tactics are so disgusting and without honor, exactly like a true magi. Even so, Merlin likes them a lot!!.
Merlin's chin almost fell from his mouth because of surprise before he screamed "THIS GUY WAS A 'LEGIT' CASTER!!!!????"
Leaving Merlin, who was doubting life, Leo fell down like a meteor and reached the sphere. Almost all the blood in the city was cleared and people's connection to the sacrifice ritual was severed, which left the sphere alone.
Pointing towards it with the lance, Leo channeled his mana before he screamed " Rhongomyniad!!"
At that moment, the golden meteor collided with the blood sphere before a bright light blinded all the world.
-------------------
This is the true description of the skill:
Self-Modification: EX
Although it is called self-modification and it's the source of his high endurance, he doesn't change anything about himself, except it can only be used when he uses (Origin) to control (Sephirah) and (Paths) as he please, or to balance them with (The Book of The Law).
For those who love details, here the meaning behind the spells.
Warning this is complicated, however, I love to do things in a legit way, so I included them.
Those who don't want to read, don't worry. It won't affect anything, you can know the spell effect from the normal chant after the numbers.

Gabriel's power drawing spell:
40, 9, 6, 1. Total is 56.
Mem, tet, Vau, Aleph!.
Water, release yourself from filth, and bring judgment to thee!
Each letter is correspondent to a number in the same position. Mem=40 and others are in the same count.
Mem is a path that represents the water in the kabbalah and also corresponds to the position of judgment, Gevurah, in it.
Tet is a path that represents mercy, which includes the peaceful nature of water and the d.e.s.i.r.e to bring peace to these souls trapped in the blood. It also represents judgment because it is linked to Gevurath.
Vau is a path that links the others to the wisdom position in Kabbalah, which allows creativity in the spells.
Aleph is more like Leo's personal path because it's usually what represents the Fool in the rituals. It is also related to the highest crown, to make the water very pure and poison to curses. Leo uses it in every spell to increase the harmony with his Origin and the effect of the spell.
Gathering the holy water spell:
40, 30, 5, 1. Total is 76.
Mem, Lamed, Heh, Aleph!
Oh water, form on my palm and show your glory!
Mem and Aleph are the same as the other spell.
Lamed is related to Mem as it increases the power of water and increases its gathering speed. It is also related to judgment and purity.
Heh number is 5, which relates to five fingers on the hand. It makes the spell target related to the user's hand.
Evil and Good turning spell:
1, 3, 6, 1. Total 11.
Aleph, Gimel, Vau, Aleph.
From Heaven, I announce the law.
Pray, pray, pray, son of man. Here is my mercy.
In the name of Evil, I announce the law.
Aleph in first means Leo is the person who'll perform the ritual with his very core.
Gimel and number 3 means heaven and sky, the place and concept where the spell will be performed.
Vau means mercy for the humans in the city while giving them a chance to struggle for their lives.
Aleph is confirming that Leo will carry this spell as a promise to save the humans in the city, which allowed him to draw Alaya's power.
Total number 11 means the Qliphoth, the tree of Evil, which means that Leo considers himself Evil in this situation.
It also means the 'The stepping stone of wickedness that supports the good deeds' As the 'evil', he's here to support the 'good', against another evil, which boosted the spell power to the top.
