Even if you're a corrupted magical girl, you still have to try to redeem yourself.

No matter how arrogant Kuroba Reincarnation may be, she still possesses combat experience.

As she flew over Yuuki Yuuki's head, she saw that Yuuki Yuuki's magical armor had disappeared.

The shrine maiden's outfit, which symbolized the liberation of the gods, reverted to her purple demonic attire.

Has her divine liberation reached its limit?

But why does this guy have that smug look on his face?

Kuroba Laisei already knows the answer.

Large tentacles rose from the ground and bound her body tightly.

A restraint trap used by all corrupted magical girls?

I never expected to encounter such low-class things.

But it doesn't matter; I can break free from this level of constraint in no time.

Moreover, by releasing the gods from their shackles, one's own seraphim are also freed.

"Love unites all things, and love binds us together! Bonds are formed with the divine!"

Between Yuuki Yuki's renewed divine liberation and Kuroba Rebirth's breaking free from the restraint trap, Yuuki Yuki is still a step ahead.

As Kuroba Reisei's wings tore through her tentacles, Yuuki Yukino's fist was already upon her.

"Hero's Fist!"

Although this isn't a skill, that's what a pink-haired girl with the same last name as me called out.

This time, Yuuki Yuki's fist, wrapped in red thread, was much bigger than a casserole dish; the entire shimenawa rope had transformed into a boxing glove, and it struck Kuroba Laisei squarely.

Then, the gauntlets were thrown out by Yuuki Enishi and transformed back into the shape of a shimenawa. The seraphim, who had just gained her freedom, was controlled by the red threads again before she could even put them to use.

Then came Yuuki Yuki's relentless barrage of attacks.

If Kuroba Reise were to describe Yuuki Yukino's fighting style after the Gods were released, it would be utterly inexplicable.

Yuuki Yukino's moves were completely unpredictable.

Just as Kuroba Laishi used his longsword to deflect the drill formed by the red threads, Yuuki Yuki, who intended to use the red threads to strangle him, blocked his path.

After blocking the longsword's attack with red threads that spread out between her fingers like cat's cradle, Yuuki Yukina's fingertips would then fire high-speed red threads like bullets.

Kuroba Laisei had no idea what tricks Yuuki Yukino could play with these red threads, let alone how Yuuki Yukino's next attack would come.

It's a mess, but it works.

Yuuki Yukino suffered repeated setbacks in battles in the past, the reason being that there was an insurmountable barrier between True Name Release and God Release.

There are people who are strong enough to cross this insurmountable barrier, but their existence is of no reference value whatsoever.

Now that Yuuki Yukino possesses that power, the insurmountable barrier that once stood before her has become a thoroughfare, allowing her to cross it with ease. She is no longer a helpless lamb to the slaughter.

Although the gap between Yuuki Enishi and the enemy still exists.

But the remaining part can be made up for with experience.

While scenes and characters using silk threads or steel wires in combat are not numerous in the entire genre, Yuuki Yukino can still recall a few.

In old-fashioned crime movies, hitmen on green trains would secretly bring a string to strangle their targets in the train's restroom.

In anime, there are puppeteers, superpowered individuals who fight by binding strings to daggers, characters who can directly manipulate strings to condense weapons like themselves, and even Stand users who become strings themselves.

In some science fiction stories, there are even scenes where an entire ship is cut apart using nanomaterials with extremely high toughness, strength, and hardness.

Even in real life, there are cases of motorcyclists being slashed in the throat or even beheaded by kite strings while speeding. Yuki En has also seen a TV program that used pork to test how dangerous it is to hit a kite string while driving at high speed.

Whether in animation or in real life, characters who use these skills all share a common drawback—limitations.

It's like the limitation some people have in questioning why water-attribute ability users don't manipulate the blood within their enemies.

You could also say that those involved are often blinded by their own perspective.

Yuki En wouldn't say she had a very broad perspective, but as a viewer, she had witnessed various uses of silk threads.

At least, she can use more, more novel, and more insidious fighting methods than Yuuki Yuuki in the game.

This is the difference in experience.

Reaction time, speed, and strength all require personal training to develop.

However, "experience" is something that can be acquired through learning.

Yuuki Yui was familiar with Kuroba Reincarnation's fighting style: slashing with a sword, flapping with wings, and shooting black energy waves back and forth.

Although they have more detailed differentiations, for Yuuki Eri, they are essentially just these few methods.

Yuuki Yukino also learned from various works how to fight with lines and what there are more novel and efficient ways to fight.

All of these are "experience".

The numerical value required to level up in a game is also called "experience points," right?

It is precisely this experience that allows her to gain a greater advantage in the battle against Kuroba Reisei.

Is Yuuki Yuki stronger than Kuroba Reincarnation?

Of course not. Even now, Kuroba Reincarnation has an overwhelming advantage in magical girl power.

But Yuuki Yukino is now suppressing Kuroba Reisei.

It's because Yuuki Eri has more "experience" than Kuroba Reisei.

Those small accumulations erupted during Yuuki Yuki's battle, along with all the resentment he had harbored from past setbacks, and were vented on Kuroba Laisei.

Even Kuroba Laisei didn't have a chance to use her skills.

Then, the seraphim, controlled by the shimenawa, turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Not long ago, Yuuki Yuuki thought that the enemy was almost invincible, but now she has fallen to the ground.

Chapter 120 Taking Advantage of Others' Misfortune

Is Yuuki Yuuki very strong?

That didn't actually happen.

It seems that Yuuki Yuuki is incredibly skilled at manipulating the red thread of Yuuki Yuuki, but in reality, she herself is not very proficient in the incredibly complex and novel uses of the red thread.

During the battle, all Yuuki Yukino could do was to ensure that she didn't become rigid in her thinking, and to come up with different ways to deal with the situation from the countless works she had read. She would use whatever came to mind, regardless of the actual effect, with the main goal of catching the enemy off guard.

Actually, it's not necessarily true that Yuuki Yukino needs to be particularly skilled in those novel fighting styles; as long as she can react faster than Kuroba Laisei, that's enough.

This technique of using high-frequency attacks to keep the enemy distracted and drag them into one's rhythm was something I learned from Hong Moli during special training.

In fact, they did the same thing when they launched their siege against Kuroba Reisei.

This frenzied attack, resembling a face-rolling keyboard, had a noticeable effect, making it difficult for Kuroba Laisei to concentrate on unleashing more powerful skills during the intense battle.

Dragged into Yuuki Yukino's rhythm, Kuroba Reise's counterattack gradually weakened.

In the end, Kuroba Kiyoshi, who had taken a direct hit from Yuuki Yuki, fell to the ground. His demonic armor turned into specks of light and disappeared, returning to his everyday clothes, which could be described as fashionable.

The same clothes don't look as pleasing to the eye now as they did before.

The once clean clothes were now covered in dust and filth on the ground, and had been rubbed raw by the stones.

The once high and mighty Kuroba Laisei was defeated and forced to revert to his original form. He squatted on the ground in a disheveled state, looking at Yuuki Yukino with resentful eyes.

The muscles in the hand that Kuroba Reisei was using to support himself on the ground were visibly tense. He trembled several times as he tried to support his body, but in the end, he was unable to stand up again.

The expression on Kuroba Laisei's face became even uglier and more embarrassing.

Won?

Even Yuuki Yukino herself couldn't believe it.

It appears that Yuuki Yukino is suppressing Kuroba Ryouse throughout the entire battle, but in reality, Yuuki Yukino herself is also under considerable pressure throughout the battle.

This is actually a very dangerous process, like two people arm wrestling. On the surface, it seems like they are locked in a stalemate, but whoever runs out of strength will quickly collapse and have no chance to turn the tables.

If Yuuki Eri runs out of magic or if her attack has a flaw that Kuroba Reisei can see through, the balance of power will change instantly.

To suppress the Black Feather Reincarnation, the required magical power is enormous—it must be output in an almost extravagant manner.

The spirit that maintains the liberation of the gods also consumes a significant amount of Yuuki Enishi's magic power.

In any case, the one who stands in the end is yourself.

But the one who fell was Kuroba Reise, whom he had previously thought he could never defeat.

If a magical girl can even undo her transformation, then she certainly poses no threat to me.

Normally, in this post-battle scenario, both sides would deactivate their transformations, Yuuki would deliver a victory declaration, Kuroba would feel resentful, and then be killed by Yuuki.

However, Kuroba's reincarnation ended his transformation, but Yuuki Yuki's did not.

Yuuki Yukino will not let her guard down until Kuroba Reincarnation is completely defeated.

However, Yuuki Enishi's divine liberation was still removed by her.

Maintaining divine liberation for an extended period will also consume magical energy.

Just like logging off to save your game time when forming a team in a point-card game, even a small amount is still something. Even if Yuuki Yuki defeats Kuroba Reisei, she can't guarantee that she won't have another battle to fight.

The whereabouts of Sheng Shiyin are currently unknown. If Sheng Shiyin takes this opportunity to return, another fierce battle will ensue among them.

Furthermore, even if Seishion doesn't come back, she's nominally going to chase after Inuyama Tomoe and the others. If Inuyama Tomoe and the others are locked in a fierce battle with Seishion, Yuuki Yuuki wouldn't stand idly by.

From any perspective, Yuuki Yuki has a reason to retain her magic.

After the divine release was lifted, the dark magic book returned to Yuuki Yuuki's hand, and the red thread transformed back into a ring, which Yuuki Yuuki wore on her little finger.

Yuuki Yukino had no intention of wasting any more words with Kuroba Kiyomi.

Yuuki Yui took a few steps closer, looking down at Kuroba Reise on the ground, preparing to lift her hand and use her tentacles to perform their original function in the eroge, giving Kuroba Reise a final, unconventional blow.

Her initial goal for tonight was to prevent Kuroba from ever being reborn, so that he would become a harmless being who would no longer pose a threat to anyone.

That is, to become that indescribable state.

Before the battle even began, Yuuki Yuki felt conflicted at the entrance to the festival.

The dilemma she felt stemmed partly from the immense power of Kuroba's reincarnation, and the uncertainty about whether the plan would proceed smoothly.

But Yuuki Yuuki's worries didn't end there; she was also agonizing over something else before the festival even began.
