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

It wasn't the school's arrangements that truly disrupted the overall process; it was the magical girl.

Even Nishio Reki, an ordinary person with no magic power, could clearly see that the red and gray magic power, like a reverse-flowing stream, burst forth from a corner that no one paid attention to and surged into the bright afternoon sky of autumn.

Through the transparent glass skylight at the top of the huge auditorium of Moonsea Middle School, where the event was being held, everyone present witnessed a bright red crescent moon slowly rising against the clear sky.

The crimson moon dyed the entire sky a chilling blood-red hue, as if dragging Moonsea City into a dark night.

A blonde girl, trailing a long gown, descended from the crimson moon, drew a massive katana several meters long, and slowly raised it before everyone's eyes, then gently lowered it.

Immediately, the entire venue was split in two by the intense wind pressure and the enormous, sky-covering blood-red blade.

Just as Yuuki Enishi had predicted, the corrupted magical girls who remained at Tsukishima Middle School still chose to seize this last opportunity and bare their fangs at them.

Knowing full well that there was no point in staying here, Nishio Reki had no choice but to retreat with the crowd to a safe place, looking for a spot where he could watch the battle without interfering with the magical girls' fight.

Unable to fight, all Nishio Reki could do now was pray that Yuuki and the others would succeed in the upcoming battle.

According to Nishio Reki, things are progressing quite smoothly so far.

As the blood-red blade fell, a thunderous roar echoed across the sky. Golden lightning tore a rift in the blood-red curtain, allowing dazzling sunlight to once again illuminate the land shrouded in darkness.

The corrupted magical girl who had swung her blood-stained blade frowned, gripping her wand even tighter as she looked around for any signs of the other magical girls.

She could sense the presence of several magical girls, but their reaction was so swift that they must have come prepared.

Just as she had expected, the falling icy rain began to pour down.

The falling icy rain enveloped the short-haired, blonde vampire girl in a formal dress, while not far away, the blue-haired girl who had been slowly rising into the air had just lowered the bowstring from her slender fingers.

The crimson katana spun brilliantly in the little vampire's hand, and even within the range of the icy rain, not a single ice spike touched her body.

Instead, the blade light unleashed by the katana scattered in all directions, accelerating its descent towards the ground.

The tangled red lines wove a giant net in the air, shielding the fleeing crowd below from the aftershocks. The blood-red magical blades, like fish caught in the net, struggled and thrashed about, yet none escaped.

"Everyone, run! Leave this to us magical girls!"

The pink-haired magical girl tightened the red thread wrapped around her fingertips and shouted loudly to the running crowd below, maintaining their order while leaving behind a reassuring silhouette.

A faint breeze stirred up the orange-red maple leaves, scattering them across the sky like countless swirling blades, leaving the corrupted magical girl surrounded with no way to escape.

Before the icy rain could be completely stopped, the wind swirled up fallen leaves, and under the combined force of wind and rain, the girl's defenses gradually began to falter.

This is the counterattack led by Yuuki Enishi, the crystallization of the magical girls' friendship.

The power that erupted in an instant was so great that even a corrupted magical girl who had been unleashed by a god could not stop it.

However, from the very beginning, Yuuki and her companions faced more than one enemy.

There is more than one corrupted magical girl who has the power to unleash the power of the gods.

The encircling red line, the floating fallen leaves, the scattered icy rain, and the dark red sky all seemed to freeze at that moment.

A gray blade flashed by in what seemed like a frozen moment in time.

Then, in the gray world, everything that touched the blade's light—whether physical objects, magical energy, or even the empty air—was stained a hollow gray and gradually began to wither away.

A powerful aura of death began to permeate the air. Behind the blonde girl, a gray-haired girl who had appeared at some point was slowly sheathing her drawn dagger.

The cage painstakingly created by the magical girls was shattered in a single blow.

This is the power of divine liberation.

However, this was also included in Yuuki Eri's calculations.

Although Nishio Reki frowned slightly after witnessing all of this, it was only because he was worried about the safety of the magical girls.

She believed, firmly believed, that Yuuki Yuki, who seemed to know everything, would surely be able to claim victory.

No, what Yuuki Yukino wants is not victory, but peace.

All Nishio Reki could do, and all he should do, was accompany Yuuki Yuuki and witness firsthand the peace they longed for.

This battle is just the first step toward peace.

Nishio Reki will keep a close eye on things.

After a moment of silence, the hostility in the girl's scarlet eyes in the sky intensified.

The girl took a small half-step back and placed her hand on the back of the gray-haired girl's hand, who was pressed against her back.

"The president said he would give you a chance. But until now, none of you have ever cherished it."

The blonde girl spoke, and although her tone was still calm, it was clear that she was starting to get impatient.

"Tsk, then tell us, who is this so-called president?" Helica scoffed, kicking the heavy hammer with one foot, the solid warhammer landing steadily on her shoulder.

Herika was no stranger to the names of these two fallen magical girls; just a few days ago—a few days ago in reality—it was Yuuki Yukino who told her the names herself.

Hong Moli, and Bai Gui Qian You, against Wu <;（〉、Ba Ba Ling］?

Despite being questioned by Helica, Hong Moli's lowered eyes showed no sign of wavering; instead, she completely ignored Helica's question.

"The chairman thinks that you guys are in danger."

The blood-red longsword, illuminated by the crimson moon, was held horizontally in front of Koumori, who had been released from divine power. Koumori's gaze was reflected in the cold blade.

“Dangerous factors should be eliminated immediately.”

"Danger?" Yuuki asked softly, her tone devoid of any agreement, but instead sharper than ever before: "You two corrupted magical girls are the real danger. It is you who should be eliminated!"

The response to Yuuki Eri was no longer words of mutual accusation, but the cold blades of Hyakki Senyū.

The final battle of the magical girls began without warning, yet inevitably.

If Nishio were to describe the scene in words, she could only use the word "chaos."

The figures of magical girls intertwine, their wands clash, and their magical radiance shines in harmony.

The sky, illuminated by various lights, and the ground where Nishio Reki stood firmly on the ground were two completely incompatible worlds.

Nishio Reki doesn't know much about magical girls, and she can't sense who has stronger magic or judge who has the advantage on the battlefield.

But she didn't need to know anything to tell that the battle was the most brutal fight she had ever witnessed among magical girls.

In the end, the magical girls emerged victorious.

The red and gray figures fell from the sky almost simultaneously, smashing the dome of the huge venue beneath them and being buried by the collapsed rubble.

"Huff...huff...ha...finally, finally, did I win?"

Dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit, her magical attire torn in several places, with the blood seeping out staining her pure white clothes in an unusual way, Yuuki En breathed heavily, almost falling back to the ground.

Even with such a brutal outcome, it couldn't hide the excitement on Yuuki Enishi's face.

Nishio Reki had never seen that posture before, but it was impossible for him not to have heard of it.

That is the ultimate form of a magical girl, a liberation of both magical armor and wand, releasing all power—an ability known as divine liberation.

Indeed, in this brutal battle, Yuuki Yukino obtained the strongest power.

If only one person had mastered the release of the gods, the outcome of the battle might have been uncertain.

But along with Yuuki Eri, Mizuno Yu, who was stepping on the Moon Bow which was several sizes larger than the girl's body, was now displaying the same divine liberation.

Four against two, including two magical girls who had been released from divine power, this battle was exceptionally fierce, but the outcome was not much of a surprise.

"Ah, yes, we won. It wasn't easy." Helica then dropped her battered warhammer, which vanished in a burst of magic. Empty-handed, Helica stretched and sighed.

"Thanks to our seniors, we were able to win." Sakura Hanako clenched her fists with excitement, as if she had a lot to say.

Having been shot down from the sky so early, the two fallen magical girls, who were too weak to even get up, were certainly not in a good mood. But no one cared about their feelings at the moment, as all the magical girls were immersed in the joy of victory.

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

On the now deserted site of the meeting place, Nishio Reki can now walk out confidently to greet the heroes of this battle.

As soon as Nishio Reki took a step, he felt a sharp gust of wind flash past his eyes.

That wasn't some strong wind; it was a real scythe, a real magic wand.

The crescent-shaped scythe, even more chilling than the red moon that had just risen into the sky, was still buzzing. If Nishio Reki had reacted any slower, he would have been pierced through by the scythe.

At that moment, a magic wand appeared before them...

Everyone turned to look in the direction from which the wand had been thrown.

A girl with short, light yellow hair, dressed in a black nun's habit, was slightly raising her palm.

As if responding to her call, the scythe hummed as it emerged from the shattered earth, its sharpness flashing like a spinning magic wand as it flew toward the girl and landed steadily in her hand.

"How could you two fail so easily?"

The girl glanced at the ruins of the collapsed venue, yawned lazily, and then spoke.

Is this person in cahoots with those two corrupted magical girls?

Nishio Reki took a few steps back and observed the surrounding situation.

There was only one magical girl present, but to prevent herself from becoming a hostage—something Yuuki Yukina had repeatedly warned her about—she had to ensure her own safety first.

But the newly appeared magical girl didn't seem to intend to attack her. Instead, she raised her eyes and looked at the several magical girls who were already panting heavily.

"Are you here to avenge them?" Helica's gaze darkened.

Saint Shiyin, this guy is also very familiar to Helica.

Although she hadn't seen Saint Shion for a long time since that trip to Rainbow Leaf City, Herika still vividly remembered the trouble Saint Shion had caused her back then.

She also knew that although Saint Shion and Kuroba Laisheng might not be in cahoots, they were still working together to do their own thing.

Helica deliberately concealed her divine release to prevent her side from overwhelming the enemy and disrupting the normal progress of the dream.

But now everyone else is consuming a lot, and if I keep it to myself, it might lead to some things I don't want to see.

If Sheng Shiyin causes any more trouble, he won't be able to hide his strength anymore.

However, Saint Shion did not give Helica a chance to fully demonstrate her strength.

"The president said that she doesn't need guys who can't defeat the enemy."

That's what the hymn says.

"Those two losers are yours to do as you please."

"Then what do you want to do?" Yuuki Yuen asked coldly, calling the Shimenawa behind her, ready to deal with Seishin's attack at any time.

But Saint Shion didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the fight. She placed the scythe on the ground and slightly raised her face.
