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

It is the manifestation of the "filth" of the Black Demon Mark that Yuuki En once mentioned.

The filth wouldn't attack Hyakki Senyou for no reason. This could only have happened because of that girl with purple-pink hair, a reaction that made a corrupted magical girl feel threatened.

It's like water and fire are incompatible.

Therefore, that woman must disappear.

Before Hong Moli could react, Bai Gui Qianyou had already disappeared from the spot.

Actually, no one had time to realize what had happened. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated.)

But the rapidly approaching threat of death was real, causing the magical girls, who were still unprepared, to feel as if every pore on their bodies had been blocked. Before they even realized it, their backs were covered in a layer of cold sweat.

Approaching them from behind was a short, red dagger with several forked branches.

And the slashes fired from the dagger.

A pure, death-inducing slash, so massive it could cover the entire field of vision.

Mizuno Yu, who was guarding the last stronghold, had already made the fastest possible response.

The Moon Ship crashed into the slashing attack, and thousands of moonlight beams, like fireflies drawn to a flame, shot towards the red light barrier, diminishing the power of the slash.

However, the effect was minimal; the aura of death, which had achieved absolute suppression solely in terms of attributes, continued to approach.

Its ultimate target, without a doubt, is Sakura Hanako, who has just completed her divine liberation.

The white halo and the slash controlled by the Hundred Ghosts and Thousand Ghosts divided the night sky into two distinct colors.

Whether it's still-living trees or fallen leaves scattered everywhere, when bathed in that aura of death, they all turn into lifeless ashes, like burnt-out ash, and are dispersed by the aftershocks of the confrontation.

Strong winds swept up fallen leaves, instantly clearing a space in the dense forest.

Damn it!

Helica whirled around, wielding her warhammer in an attempt to join the fight.

However, another enemy present would not allow her to have her way.

The slender blade swept across Helica's path, forcing her to abruptly stop, allowing the blade to glide past the tip of her nose, barely dodging Hong Moli's slash.

The few strands of golden hair that hadn't had time to dodge naturally offered no resistance to the blade, scattering and falling before the strike could land.

Having just dodged that extremely dangerous attack, the next strike was already upon them.

The blade sliced ​​across the hard, rocky ground as easily as cutting through a piece of soft tofu, rising straight up from the soil and slicing a nearly imperceptible wound on Helica's shoulder.

The wound was extremely fine, yet incredibly deep; gushing blood instantly stained Helica's magical armor on her shoulder.

The magical girl who loves blood always craves blood, and the wounds she inflicts will always provide her with a constant flow of blood.

Meanwhile, the confrontation between Mizuno Yu and Hyakki Senyu behind them finally came to a conclusion.

That pure energy finally dissipated like flowing water under the gentle moonlight.

The oppressive aura of death dissipated, and the magical girls who had been bathing in it were finally able to exhale smoothly from their chests.

However, the cost of blocking this attack is also obvious.

A huge tear had appeared in the magical armor on Mizuno Yu's side, and the dark red blood clinging to it was not the fresh blood that Helica had oozed from her injury.

It is something even more terrifying, the power of death, which the Hundred Ghosts and Thousand Ghosts call the erosion of destined death.

The combination of Hyakki Senyou and Koumori is how they bring blood and death to their prey, dragging their enemies into the boundless night.

But reality doesn't always go as they wish.

"It failed?"

Hong Moli tilted her head and looked up at Sakura Hanako, who was unharmed from the attack just now. That was the target of Hyakki Senyou.

What appears to be a simple strike is actually imbued with the full power of a hundred ghosts and a thousand demons.

Not all endings are grand; a quiet passing is the inevitable end for most lives.

The same applies to the attacks of Hyakki Senyou.

In layman's terms, it means to kill instantly.

Even if there is still room to struggle, the remaining vitality will be completely devoured by the erosion of death.

However, the attack was far less successful than they had anticipated.

An assassin who reveals their form is much more likely to fail in their next attack.

The subsequent changes made the current situation even worse.

Snow-white liquid gushed out from the needle that Sakura Hanako was holding, and two balls of pure energy splashed onto the magical girls who had just been injured.

"Warfarin."

The magical girls, bathed in white light, were healing their injuries from the battle at a visible speed, as if they had never existed.

Even the faint glow of death that accompanied the wound on Mizuno Yu's side caused by Hyakki Senyou's dagger slowly dissipated in the radiance.

It is a skill, and a skill that comes after the gods are liberated. It is given the name of medicine, but it has effects that far surpass those of medicine.

Hong Moli suddenly understood the reason why the power within her was wary of that girl: the hundred ghosts and the thousand spirits.

If there is a power that can pull life out of the shadow of death, it must be the miracle of a magical girl, a miracle called "healing" and "medicine," which transcends a single madder plant to an entire forest.

Wanting to heal others, wanting to heal broken relationships, wanting to heal this terminally ill Moonsea City—was this such an empty, foolish, incredibly ordinary yet great wish?

It really is, truly Qianyou's nemesis.

"Oh, you've fully recovered? You're really that amazing! You rascal!"

Herlica moved her arm, and not only did the pain return, but the mobility she had lost after the injury was also completely restored.

"Well done, much better than before."

Mizuno Yu's praise was much more concise.

Having just gone through a major battle, Mizuno Yu's condition is probably worse than Helica's. She has only been able to hold on until now thanks to her amazing self-healing ability and her concern for Sakura Hanako.

Healed by Sakura Hanako's skill, she felt all the pain in her body swept away, as if she could unleash a hundred times more power than before.

Although Mizuno Yu enjoys pain because it makes her feel alive, it's also nice to occasionally forget the pain.

"Seniors, I... I will also do my best!"

Holding the enormous syringe, Sakura Hanako bowed deeply to the front of her, her eyes filled with unwavering determination as she raised her head.

The situation is really getting worse.

Hong Mo thought to herself, raised her voice, and made the suggestion to the magical girls opposite her, specifically to Hyakki Chiyu.

"How about we just forget about it? Safety is the most important thing."

They've already given me a good beating; do I still remember the task Yuuki En gave me—to leave at the appropriate time?

Between the mission and Hyakki Senyou, all Hong Moli could do was control herself to avoid harming the target and protect Hyakki Senyou's safety.

Now that the opponent is injured and Bai Gui Qian You failed to succeed, this is the best opportunity.

If this drags on any longer, whether it succeeds or fails, I won't be able to give an explanation to Hyakki Senyou or Yuuki Eri.

Hong Moli is always like this, caught in the middle.

Fortunately, Hyakki Senyou should understand him.

But this time, Bai Gui Qian You, corrupted by the black demonic patterns, began to act willfully again after a long time.

"No."

"Calm down, don't forget what we're here to do!"

"I said no! And that's final!"

Even if they wanted to leave, the magical girls on the other side wouldn't allow it.

Before Hong Moli could finish speaking, the golden warhammer was brought to her feet, and a thunderous roar, even heavier than the warhammer itself, descended from the sky, compressing the space in which Hong Moli could move.

The moment the opponent made their move, Bai Gui Qian You also sprang into action, her small dagger unleashing a net of blade light that enveloped the girl she absolutely could not tolerate existing.

Having been completely healed, Mizuno Yuu naturally wouldn't allow Hyakki Senyu to threaten her companions.

Just like when she rescued the pink-haired girl from Miyashita Mia who was unaware that the girl was her enemy at the time, but who had now become the instigator of all this, she used her body to block Sakura Hanako's way.

From any perspective, the enemy she faces this time is no longer invincible.

Seeing all this, Hong Moli's mind felt like it had been turned into a complete mess.

It's a mess, a complete mess.

Fortunately, it was only Helica whose real name had been revealed, so Kou Mori was able to deal with her as quickly as possible.

Really, are you okay?

"caffeine!"

The skill that struck the two magical girls this time was a brownish bubble. It merged into their bodies the moment it made contact, leaving a faint halo around them.

Hong Moli doesn't know exactly what its effects are, but that won't affect her next move.

She sheathed her sword, pressed down on the hilt, and then unleashed the most powerful strike she had received since her divine liberation.

"Heart Crossing".

With a flash of light, Hong Moli appeared behind Helica.

Similar to the initial slash from Hyakki Senyou, both attacks used the simplest, fastest, and most ruthless methods to directly determine the outcome.

Unlike Hundred Ghosts' Thousand Ghosts' attack, which carried an ominous attribute, her strike was far more destructive.

Qi Shishan Ling Si deleted private message "Gurgle—"

Herlica stopped in her tracks, her body swayed a few times, and the heavy sound of the hammer hitting the ground was exceptionally clear, followed by the dull thud of her body hitting the ground.

It hit its mark.

But this attack wasn't enough to completely put Hong Moli at ease.

The moment the blow struck, Hong Moli knew the outcome.

"Ouch! It hurts so much! You damn bat!"

Helica, leaning on the hammer handle, staggered to her feet and turned to look at the girl who had inflicted another wound on her.
