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

Yuuki Yuuki knew nothing about these things.

While Yuuki Yuki was lost in thought for a moment, Tomoe's gunfire blasted the space in front of her into countless holes, a display of the girl's attack.

Yes, we really can't delay any longer. With our side fighting so fiercely, Helica and Mizuno Yu, who are also magical girls, will definitely not stand idly by. If we let them get involved, the situation will become even more complicated.

Because he was considerate of Lin Jiezi's feelings, he made her wait outside. This choice triggered a series of chain reactions that led to the current situation, and he himself was also drawn into a bigger trouble, which is still escalating.

What is this? A coincidence? The butterfly effect? ​​Or do magical girls just attract each other?

The whistling magic wand, like falling stars, relentlessly chipped away at the girl's transparent defenses.

Although she still couldn't see clearly, Yuuki Yukino could sense that the girl's defenses were much weaker than before.

We can't delay any longer; this mess is already big enough.

Opportunities are fleeting, so let's act now.

"Let's go," Yuuki Yukino called out.

"Oh!"

How could Baqi not understand the meaning of Yuki En?

After being tormented by this playful probing for so long, Baqi had been waiting for Yuuki Yuki to give the order for a long time.

The girls shone brightly.

"Tear your enemies to pieces with your claws, Fenrir."

"Nyarlathotep descended upon this place, having crossed the abyss of time."

The more solidified magic blossomed into two-colored flowers, followed by the girls chanting the true names of their wands.

"Oh. Oh."

The girl shook her head listlessly, seemingly holding something in her sleeve. She swayed a few times, took a few steps back, and then raised her sleeve towards the two of them.

"You're here."

Behind Yuuki Yuki and Inuyama Tomoe, a twisted hand, seemingly about to tear the night sky apart, was wrapped with dense chains and held up an irregular crystal.

"This kind of attack can't be stopped if you don't take it seriously."

The image of the giant hand approaching her was reflected in the girl's pupils, and the blackness melting on the trioctahedron grew increasingly intense, about to reach the top of her head.

"Fenrir, there's actually a wand named Fenrir. We can't just not say hello."

The girl raised her hand above her head, her thumb touching her index and middle fingers.

"Don't you think so?"

"Loki."

Snapped.

The girl snapped her fingers lightly.

The sixty-nine giant hands of martial spirit silk that Yuuki Yukino and Inuyama Tomoe created together vanished into thin air.

It was as if they had never existed here; they simply vanished without a trace.

But Yuuki Yuuki also saw the true form of the girl's magic wand.

That wand was far too small.

It was as small as a real magic wand often seen in movies depicting wizards—no, actually, the girl's wand was even smaller.

But the effect is similar; the girl's wand is truly used just like a wand in the literal sense.

A paintbrush, more than ten centimeters long, with mottled colors on it, making it impossible to see the original color of the fine bristles.

This is what the girl had been hiding in her sleeve.

Perhaps it's not accurate to call it hiding; such a small thing wouldn't be used to poke yourself, so whether you take it out or not wouldn't make much of a difference.

The girl who took out her wand didn't rush to launch the next attack, and Yuuki Yukino was naturally not in such a hurry either.

The probing isn't over yet.

But Yuuki Yuki felt that she understood the other person better now.

Seeing that the other party was forced to use their true name release, Yuuki Yuuki felt that her worries had lessened.

Judging from Hong Moli's introduction, the opponent should be no weakling at all; it's just a matter of how strong they are.

If the opponent could stop my and Baqi's combined attack without even using their true name release, that would be truly terrifying.

At least this guy's strength is definitely not as monstrous as Lava Lantern's.

However, it should not be underestimated. The ability to make one's attack disappear into thin air without knowing what the opponent did is unheard of in the past.

However, there's no need to put so much pressure on yourself.

If this girl is truly that powerful, capable of erasing things at will, then what she wants to erase isn't the Night Howler's hand, but herself.

Just as a water-attribute ability user cannot control an enemy's blood, this ability must have some limitations.

It's either because the consumption is huge, so there's a limit to the number of times it can be used, or there are some rules that must be followed; otherwise, this ability would have been revealed by the other party long ago.

"Baqi?" Yuuki Gen openly raised his chin in the direction of the girl, completely unconcerned that the other person was looking at his intentions.

"Oh! No problem!" Baqi cracked her knuckles, making a gun shape with her fingers, closed one eye, and moved her fingers toward the other person.

Yuuki Yukino's next attack also began.

"Night Howler".

As soon as Yuuki Yuki finished speaking, something was created from behind her.

What appeared was not just a twisted giant hand, but the owner of that hand, a pitch-black monster with three legs.

Although not as enormous as the legendary giants capable of shaking mountains, the power it wields is undeniable.

The enormous monster pressed down on the girl opposite it, with a power no less than that of the legends.

Snapped.

The girl snapped her fingers again.

The condensed monster then vanished, just like the hand that had disappeared earlier.

Yuuki Yui keenly noticed that the girl's breathing seemed to have become erratic, and the magic emanating from her body had weakened.

The girl also saw that Yuuki Yuki's skill had disappeared, but Yuuki Yuki did not show any panic.

Then, a hail of bullets came from behind the girl's head, exploding in a series of explosions on the transparent wall.

These attacks haven't disappeared.

"How many more times can we do this?" Yuuki shook her head, holding the grimoire to her chest. Tentacles wriggled restlessly between the open pages, a stark contrast to the calm expression on Yuuki's face.

"You found it?" The girl held the paintbrush between her fingers, twirled it around, and the paint on the brush remained in the air.

Actually, it's not a big deal. If we use the terminology from competitive games, it's nothing more than things like silencing, blocking projectiles, or interrupting—these can all be directly applied to the attacks released by magical girls.

Perhaps it can only be used after the real name is released, but that's not important. What's important is that its consumption must be considerable.

That's why the girl used that method, whose principle is currently unclear, to block powerful attacks, while she used the previous method of creating an invisible wall to block slightly weaker ones.

Simply put, the girl wanted to give herself a hard time.

The opponent tried to weaken Yuuki Enishi's fighting spirit with this unpredictable method, but it did not work.

Moreover, when faced with a powerful attack of unknown effect, there is no need to confront it head-on if you have the ability to eliminate it directly. If it were Yuuki Yukino, she would very likely make the same choice as the girl.

"You guys are really strong. When I first noticed you and saw you in the video, you were two complete novices. It's amazing how you've grown to this level in just a few months."

The girl clapped her hands, holding the paintbrush between her index and middle fingers, and spared no words of praise.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"I really hope we'll have the opportunity to communicate further."

The girl seemed to exhale a smoke ring, and with a light touch of her brush tip, the ring of color left by the brush in the air floated away.

"Isn't communication going well now?"

The thick tentacle casually slapped off the colored ring, and then the tentacle, now missing a piece, reverted to its linear shape.

"really."

Yuuki Yukina snapped the magic book shut in her hand.

The two stared at each other.

No one spoke again, but everyone could tell what the other person was thinking.

Wasn't this a test? The game wasn't over yet.

Yuuki Yuuki, Inuyama Tomoe, and an unknown girl simultaneously raised their wands.

The fleeting atmosphere of harmony was shattered once again.

Next came the second round, which was no different from the previous one.

It's just that it's going to be much more intense than before.

The colors splashed from the paintbrush are the girl's weapons of attack, always able to deliver a tricky blow when she least expects it.

The initial transparent attacks were also part of the color, and after Yuuki Yuki understood this, the battle became much easier.

Whether it transforms into a shield, a blade, or colorful specks of paint, its ever-changing attack methods are in no way inferior to Yuuki Eri's.

There's nothing that can be done about it. The time it took for the girl to become a magical girl is what it is, and in terms of experience and magic power, the other party is much more experienced than Yuuki Yuki.

Just as Yuuki Yuki had thought, the opponent was strong, but not to that extent.

In a one-on-one fight, neither he nor Inuyama Tomoe could defeat the other—this is based on the premise of not using the Divine Release.

If we use divine liberation...

Yuuki Yuuki has not yet achieved her own divine liberation; all her power relies on the God of Bondage, which Nishio Reki either returned to her or gave to her.

The release of the gods is the biggest variable, not a life-or-death situation. Yuuki Yuki doesn't want to reveal her trump card to her opponent like panties.

However, if divine liberation is used, it is indeed very easy for things to escalate to the point of no return.

If anyone uses Divine Liberation, it will trigger a chain reaction, and everyone will fight together in the state of Divine Liberation.
