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

Yumehara Sumireko clapped her hands as if she were enjoying the show, making a loud thumping sound as she patted her bear-claw pajamas.

"Didn't you promise to come with me? Stop watching the show!" Yuuki Yuuki shouted, her fists, which were wrapped around Yuuki God, pounded on Hanzawa Kuriko's body, much like how Helica would beat herself awake when she was on top of her.

Yuuki Yukino was able to beat Kurisu to the ground by surprise attacks, but surprise attacks did not allow her to win directly.

"Here I am!" Sumireko Yumehara ran and skipped to Hanzawa Kuriko's side, holding her two bear paws together above her head.

Then—it came crashing down on his head.

Hanzawa Kuriko's entire upper body was dented into the ground by Yumehara Sumireko's powerful blow, and Yuuki Yukino could clearly see her hand holding the axe twitch.

That's so violent! He truly is a brat, a brat in the literal sense.

Of course, Hanzawa Kuriko is not so easy to deal with, otherwise Yumehara Sumireko wouldn't be so troubled.

Despite being in a disadvantageous position, Hanzawa Kuriko managed to force both of them back by using brute force to swing wildly.

This guy is so violent, it's like he's fighting a real magical girl.

Aside from being mentally unstable, Hanzawa Kuriko definitely possesses combat power comparable to most of the magical girls Yuuki En has ever seen.

More importantly, Hanzawa Kuriko didn't even glance at Yumehara Sumireko, even when Yumehara Sumireko's bear claws tore off a large piece of her clothing. She just kept chasing Yuuki Yuki like a madwoman.

In this situation, Sumireko Yumehara only needs to deal as much damage as possible to Kuriko Hanazawa, but Yuuki Yuki has too many troubles to deal with.

Well, I'll just have to tough it out.

In this chaotic two-on-one situation, both sides were attacking and defending – Sumireko Yumehara beat up Kuriko, Kuriko beat up Yuuki Yuki, and Yuuki Yuki was beaten so badly that she had to run around everywhere.

But Hanzawa Kuriko, who seemed to have gone berserk and only knew how to chase after Yuuki Enishi, did most of her work in vain.

Previously, when Yuuki Yukino fought Kuriko alone, she was able to outmaneuver Kuriko completely, not to mention that Yuuki Yukino is no longer fighting alone.

However, it must be said that with Sumireko Yumehara's help, it is much easier for Yuuki Yui to restrain Hanzawa Kuriko. Now she hardly needs to worry about Kuriko's attacks falling on her.

The only pity is that Hanzawa Kuriko didn't use any special abilities, and Yumehara Sumireko just patted the bear with her paws like she was patting a bear. After fighting for so long, Yuuki Yuki couldn't see anything special about their fighting styles.

However, this situation could not last long. Just as Yuuki Yuki had worried, Kuriko began to change phases like a boss in an online game.

The transition phase was just a joke by Yuuki Yukino. When she saw Kuriko again, she noticed that the injuries she had just inflicted on Kuriko had not yet healed, and the damage she had caused before being dragged away by Yumehara Sumireko was still there.

Thankfully, it's not like a boss that refreshes its status as soon as it leaves the aggro range.

That's for sure! Magical girls recover to full health and mana after disengaging from combat, so why would they need to replenish mana? There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Although Hanzawa Kuriko is not a boss in the game, Yuuki Yuuki is not a challenger in the game either.

No matter how strong the BOSS is, her status is refreshed every time she falls. Even if she wins many times, the player only needs to win once.

Yuuki Yukino only has this one chance, and she can't afford to use her defeat to see the BOSS's move list.

Therefore, she had to be extremely careful, especially when Hanzawa Kuriko's magical aura became heavy again.

Just like when Yuuki Yuuki first saw it, the chaotic magic had almost materialized, like a wisp of demonic mist commonly seen in mythical creatures, lingering around Hanzawa Kuriko for a long time.

Not only did the mist-like magic not dissipate, but it became even more solid.

"Ah...ah...ahhh!"

A thirsty groan escaped from the girl's throat, sounding like the painful roar of a piece of dead wood stuck in her throat, making Yuuki Yuki instinctively feel a little uncomfortable.

The magic grew stronger and stronger, making it impossible for Yuuki Yuki to see what was happening inside.

Should we wait and see or take action to interrupt?

It's best not to act rashly before the situation is clear.

Yuuki Enishi can still think calmly, but the childish Yumehara Sumireko cannot.

"Oh no! She's coming again!"

Sumireko Yumehara stomped her feet in mid-air, her expression filled with panic, clearly about to turn around and slip away again.

Yuuki Yukino calmed herself down and lowered her voice, immediately stopping Yumehara Sumireko: "Don't be afraid! Didn't we agree to defeat this bad guy together?"

Sumireko Yumehara might be considered cute at this moment, but if she were in an anime, she would definitely be a prime example of a popular, timid character.

"But, but she's like this now, it's so scary! I... I can't do it! I can't do it!"

However, Yuuki Yuki's attention was not focused on Yumehara Sumireko at all, and her only evaluation of Yumehara Sumireko was "a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong".

I didn't pay special attention to Sumireko Yumehara, but I couldn't ignore Kuriko Hanzawa.

From the magical energy surrounding Hanzawa Kuriko, Yuuki En vaguely saw some more concrete shapes slowly forming.

Hanzawa Kuriko opened her mouth and uttered a string of syllables that Yuuki Yukina couldn't understand at all.

“▆▉▅▇”

Yuuki Yukino didn't understand, but she just knew what it was.

That's the wand's real name.

As the wand's true name was uttered, the chaotic and illusory magic finally revealed its true form.

Should it be called an insect? Or a withered hand?

Whether it's an insect or a withered hand, being about the same size as Hanzawa Kuriko's body seems a bit exaggerated.

That withered hand—let's call it a withered hand for now—was pressed against Hanzawa Kuriko's back, like a child's haphazardly assembled building block.

However, while her palms firmly gripped Hanzawa Kuriko's back, her extremely thin elbows, which resembled insect tails, dragged on the ground.

From the edge of that hand, another wing grew.

If you were to describe Yuki Eri as such, those weren't wings, but rather countless eyes like peacock tail feathers, spinning rapidly and interlocking to form sharp blades like wings.

The same eyes crawled all over the withered hand embedded behind Chestnut, their gray pupils all looking in the direction of Yuuki Yukino.

Fortunately, the eyes were all at least 30 centimeters in size and were neatly arranged in a row, which prevented them from causing trypophobia.

But that's strange too.

Yuuki En couldn't understand the complex and chaotic magic, nor could she comprehend Hanzawa Kuriko's current chaotic form, which resembled a character from a zombie game about to mutate and leave the human form.

At this moment, Hanzawa Kuriko is practically the embodiment of chaos.

I'm sorry, Ms. Hui, I was so wrong to think you were a zombie girl. This guy could actually be put in the game next door as a boss without looking out of place.

It's pointless to dwell on why the true name of the wand was only called out after the gods were released, and it's a waste of time to even appreciate Hanzawa Kuriko's bizarre appearance at this moment.

The enormous wing blade, carrying erratic pupils, had already reached Yuuki Yukino.

The broadsword woven with red thread swung towards the winged blade, and taking advantage of the moment of impact, Yuuki Yuki decisively chose to avoid its edge.

That's really impressive.

To draw an analogy, it's like the twelve-winged form resulting from the fusion of the divine Black Feather Rebirth and the Seraphim.

However, the magic power emanating from Kuriko is not so simple; at least Yuuki Yuuki sensed the magic power of several magical girls from her wing blades.

I can manage to block a few attacks, but winning will be difficult.

At this point, you should look to Sumireko Yumehara...

Wait, where's Sumireko Yumehara? Why isn't she online?

Yuuki Yukino turned to look at Yumehara Sumireko, only to witness the annoying scene of Yumehara Sumireko leaving behind a single sentence and then running away.

"Help!"

He... ran away?

Yuuki Yukino wanted to resolve the slumber, understand Yumehara Sumireko better, and ultimately rescue her magical girl companions, not come here to fight some bizarre-looking local boss.

It's not like playing a game where you're chasing all achievements. Skipping over a few tough enemies outside the main storyline to complete the game is understandable.

Besides, Sumireko Yumehara has already run away, so why am I still risking my life here?

It's not that we can't fight, it's just that there's no need to.

Yuki En made a quick decision, turned around and ran out with Yumehara Sumireko.

"Why did you run away? Don't run! Wait for me!"

"No! Don't follow me! Don't follow me! She's chasing you! Go somewhere else!"

Yumehara Sumireko's screams pierced Yuuki Yuuki's ears, but Yuuki Yuuki seemed oblivious, chasing after Yumehara Sumireko and getting closer and closer.

"Didn't we agree to fight the bad guys together? How am I supposed to fight them if you run away alone? Turn around! Turn around!"

"I don't want to turn back! You bad person! Help! Help! I'm going to die, I'm going to be killed!"

The girls ran wildly, stretching the battle line longer and longer.

"Running like this isn't going to work!" Seeing the enemy break through his encirclement several times, Yuuki Yuki had no choice but to continue fanning the flames.

"Then what do you suggest we do!" Sumireko Yumehara shouted, trying to leave Yuuki Yui behind, but Yuuki Yui always managed to catch up quickly.

While Sumireko Yumehara was flustered and panicked, Yuuki Yui felt that the other party would not have a chance to act like a child.

If you're worried about the other person throwing a tantrum and causing you to suffer a loss, then you've got the priorities backward.

"I've already achieved divine liberation! Shouldn't you be taking this more seriously?"

Yuuki Yukino didn't care about anything else and immediately shouted loudly.

“Yes, yes! As long as I, the god, am liberated, everything will be alright, right?” Sumireko Yumehara stammered.

So far, Yuuki Yuuki has only faced the most difficult level.

At this moment, she had no idea of ​​the difficulty of the hell she was about to enter.

Chapter 187 They're all coming for me, right?

Yuuki Yukino is now in a dilemma.

If she wants to confirm the safety of her companions, she must defeat Hanzawa Kuriko; otherwise, Yumehara Sumireko will definitely not take her to where her companions are.

However, if she wants to defeat Hanzawa Kuriko, that would be troublesome: not only would it cost her a lot of magic power, but it would also be dangerous, making it impossible for her to rescue her companions from Yumehara Sumireko.

Moreover, even if he gives it his all, there is still a possibility that his personal safety will be threatened by Kuriko. If such a thing happens, he will definitely not be able to deal with Yumehara Sumireko, let alone rescue his companions.

What's worse, that little brat Sumireko Yumehara actually said something like how scary the other person was and that she couldn't do anything about it, and then she ran away.

Yuuki Yukino brought Yumehara Sumireko along largely because she wanted to see her power.

If she runs away, even if I really was defeated by Chestnut, who will testify?
