redirect beam of magic

A blood red beam of light surged out.
The pillar of light was fired from the magic circle that had appeared before Fiamma and
it headed straight for Kamijou who stood in the distance ahead of him.
An odd feeling ran up Kamijou’s spine.
He had no memory of it, but an intense feeling of rejection came from something like
instinct.
“...!?”
He immediately held out his right hand and an intense pressure that felt like it would
break his fingers met it.
He could not blow the entire thing away.
(He’s...!!)
Kamijou gritted his teeth.
(He’s not just relying on his right arm!? With all that, does he really not see it as
anything more than awkward and incomplete!?)
And then...
“As a pure spell, it really does have its disadvantages.”
The voice came from directly behind him, but he did not have the leeway needed to turn
around. Fiamma was already there. The third arm was holding a giant sword made of
light. He swung the sword horizontally aiming for Kamijou’s neck.
Kamijou’s Imagine Breaker could not deal with simultaneous attacks from multiple
directions.
It was difficult to negate both at once and those attacks were on a level where even one
of them would be enough to crush him.
But Kamijou did not have any leeway in his options.
The blood red beam of light was even then about to crush his body and the sword was
accurately closing in to decapitate him from behind.

“Ooooohhhhhhhhh!!” Kamijou yelled and turned his body while keeping his right hand
in front of him.
Keeping his right hand in the center, he moved his legs so he was at a ninety degree
angle with the Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani beam.
And then he removed his right hand from the beam of light.
He altered the location of his right hand so it was just barely grazing the beam rather
than receiving it straight on.
Immediately afterwards, the red beam’s trajectory was forcefully distorted.
It was similar to purposefully missing the center of a bowling pin with the ball in order
to knock it to the side. With the beam’s route changed, it flowed diagonally behind
Kamijou.
It headed straight for Fiamma who was trying to decapitate him.
(Ye—)
Kamijou turned around when he heard the explosive noise, but his eyes opened wide
before he could check on the result.
Fiamma of the Right ignored the approaching red beam of light and swung his third arm
horizontally. The sword of light blew away the red beam in one strike and continued to
slice through the air toward Kamijou.
