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

Feeling the powerful magic rushing towards her, Yuuki Yui retreated a short distance. Now that the divine liberation was complete, it would be foolish to launch an attack blindly.

Of course, verbal attacks don't count.

"Is your longing just about engaging in bestiality naked on a rooftop?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Okay, I'm sorry, it was my fault." Yuuki Yuki's sincere apology had just eased the expression on Tsukimi Rie's face a little when she heard her next words.

"Is your longing just about engaging in bestiality naked atop the tower?"

"This is the form I took because I missed Little Mia, and it is the power I gained to protect our future."

Rie Tsukimi screamed as if her tail had been stepped on.

"Why did a snake appear when you were thinking of Miyashita Mia?"

"you……"

"Have you missed it so much that you don't need to wear clothes anymore?"

"..."

"Besides, the way you're showing your longing for her is practically blatant cheating."

"I'll kill you, you [beep]!"

That's terrifying. I can't help but mute it in my head. Just how foul and obscene were those words that Tsukimi Rie said?

Rie Tsukimi raised her arm with a ferocious expression, lifting it to her chest along with the twisted greatsword.

The giant sword cleaved down from nowhere.

That sword strike certainly couldn't reach Yuuki Yukino's body, yet Yuuki Yukino could sense the approaching danger.

Yuuki Yui flapped her wings and retreated quickly. Where she had just been, crystals grew outward from the ground in a semi-circular arc, like a drop of water splashing on the ground, almost piercing her wings.

Even if you're wielding a sword, you're still a mage, right? A magic swordsman, right?

Yuuki Yukino could also feel the ferocity of this attack. The gap between their strengths, which had been narrowed with great difficulty, was widened again with the activation of the divine liberation.

If Yuki Eri had tried her best to escape when Tsukimi Rie had just been released from her divine powers, she might have had a chance to escape.

But she didn't choose to do that.

It's generally said that she was "abandoning" the nine umbrellas because she was too engrossed in the fight.

So what if the gods are liberated? Aren't they still just an exhibitionist circling a giant snake? And their minds are full of romantic fantasies. It's really embarrassing to be chased around by someone like that.

Barely dodging the growing crystal clusters, Yuuki Eri charged forward. Her ultimate goal now was not to buy time, as even that required reinforcements to arrive. She needed to proactively think of ways to break the status quo.

She was unaware that her reinforcements had arrived, but they were blocked by others at the foot of the tower.

The attack launched by Tsukimi Rie, whose sore spot had been hit, did not stop with a swing of her greatsword. The direction of the greatsword suddenly changed, and she slashed upwards in her hand.

A series of crystals grew from the ground toward Yuuki Emi. The closer they got to Yuuki Emi's body, the taller the crystal clusters became, and the larger the area they covered. When they were close to her, they had already occupied her entire field of vision like a wall.

"Hero's Fist!"

Yuuki Yuuki shouted, her hand, which was wrapped in lines like claws, clenched into a fist and blasted towards the cluster of crystals.

This isn't a skill; it's just a signature line from a pink-haired character with the same surname that Yuuki Yuki shouted to encourage him.

But the power of this punch was undeniable. Cracks appeared in circles on the crystal cluster, and large chunks of the crystal cluster were blasted into fragments, thus halting its growth.

Behind the shattered crystal cluster, Yuuki Yukina saw Tsukimi Rie's face extremely close, her expression twisted with anger, her bloodshot eyes almost touching hers.

Closer to her face was the twisted greatsword, which cleanly and decisively slashed towards Yuuki Yukino's shoulder.

Before the blade touched her shoulder, it first made contact with Yuuki Eri's hastily curled wing. The wing blocked the blade for a moment before being cleanly and decisively severed.

This brief moment of obstruction bought Yuuki Eri time to retreat. The blade failed to cause serious injury, only leaving a cut on her shoulder.

"Tsk."

Having missed her target with her sword, Tsukimi Rie clicked her tongue in displeasure, then swung the sword back halfway, the emerald light flying towards Yuuki Enishi, who was retreating halfway.

Her wings were severed by Tsukimi Rie, and it would take some time for them to recover. Her rich combat experience allowed Tsukimi Rie to make the best choice in the shortest time.

For Yuuki Yukino, this was the worst possible choice. With her body in mid-air, it was too late to change direction and dodge to another location.

Yuuki Yukino's reaction was equally swift, and her choice was quite simple.

Disable skill!

The phantoms that made up the wings and claws disappeared, and without wings, Yuuki Enishi plummeted downwards under the influence of gravity, as the emerald green sword light swept past her head.

Although she wasn't grazed by the sword light, landing face-first still gave her a bad fall.

When Tsukimi Rie launched another pursuit, Yuuki Yukino was already being dragged up by the magic book that was pressing against her belly, and her body was being carried away at high speed into the distance.

"Don't even think about running! You coward!"

Rie Tsukimi flapped the single wing on her back and flew into the air, continuing her attack.

It's back to the realm of bullet hell games, where Yuuki Yukino can only lie on the magic book like a salted fish, dodging left and right along the flight path.

Rie Tsukimi noticed that under her powerful offensive, Yuuki Enishi always had to strain her neck to see the movement of the separated crystals. In this high-intensity barrage, she was forced to not even have a chance to stand up.

At first, the lines quickly repaired the damaged magical armor and the construct wand used to resist the crystal attacks. Gradually, the recovery speed slowed down, and the crystals that brushed against her body added a few more wounds to Yuuki Eri's body.

Rie Tsukimi felt herself getting more and more into the zone every second, just like the excitement she felt when Yuuki Yuki clashed head-on with her. Her attacks on Yuuki Yuki grew stronger with each wave, and she became more and more proficient in using the power after her divine release.

But she felt no excitement, only endless jealousy—jealousy of this uninvited guest who had repeatedly disrupted her and Miyashita Mia's lives, and an urgent desire to completely erase Yuuki Yuki.

Overwhelmed by negative emotions, she overlooked some small details that she could easily have noticed.

It wasn't until she cornered Yuuki Eri, who was flying around aimlessly on the magic book, and raised her greatsword to deliver the final blow that she saw Yuuki Eri's smug smile, revealing her little tiger teeth.

Rie Tsukimi hesitated briefly before bringing down the greatsword, but it still fell.

However, the greatsword failed to touch Yuuki Yuki's body and stopped in mid-air.

More accurately, she was held in mid-air. Numerous tentacles emerged from her blind spot and climbed onto her body, fixing Tsukimi Rie, along with the giant sword in her hand and the giant snake on her body, in mid-air. Like a spider web capturing a butterfly, they coiled around her again and again, almost completely covering Tsukimi Rie's body.

Her reaction was quick; she instantly realized that Yuuki Yuuki had set this trap from the very beginning when she turned to run away.

What Yuuki Eri did was quite simple: while dodging attacks, she created tentacles in Tsukimi Rie's blind spots. As Tsukimi Rie pursued her, more crystals descended, creating more blind spots. This allowed her to guide her escape route so that Tsukimi Rie wouldn't notice her little movements. To this end, she also constantly constructed wands and crystals to bombard each other.

One or two tentacles are very easy to break free from, but during the entanglement between the two, Yuki Yuki was able to create far more tentacles than that number, and they were still increasing. She also cleverly fixed them at the joints, making it much more difficult for Tsukimi Rie to break free.

Could it be that earlier, Yuuki Yui provoked her with words, causing her to lose her judgment, which was also within her expectations?

"Phew, that was close. I thought we were going to be discovered."

Yuuki Yukina climbed up from the book, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and plopped down on the book, floating to a position a few meters away from Tsukimi Rie.

"You bastard!" Rie Tsukimi gripped the hilt of the greatsword tightly, but what responded to her were several tentacles that pierced her arm like spears, causing her to release the twisted, serpentine greatsword in pain.

Seeing Tsukimi Rie's greatsword slip from her grasp, Yuuki Yukino's confidence grew even stronger.

"What did I do wrong? It was Tsukimi-senpai who was chasing me and hitting me the whole time. Isn't it my turn to get back at her now?"

Yuuki Yukino, her arms propped on her knees, lifted her chin with an innocent smile, as more tentacles emerged from the pages of the book, surging towards Tsukimi Rie's body.

Chapter 120 Wave collision, huh? Anyone can do that!

Although she has temporarily controlled Tsukimi Rie, Yuuki Yuuki dares not gamble on whether the mysterious ability within her can purify the filth brought by the Black Demon Mark.

Rie Tsukimi said that she could eliminate the Black Demon Mark's corruption of Miya by possessing everything about her. Whether this power could be mutually exclusive with her own mysterious power, Yuuki Yuuki did not know.

Having learned from her experience of being attacked by Miyashita Mia, Yuuki Yuuki dared not allow Tsukimi Rie to communicate with her while she was still capable of fighting. Therefore, even if she didn't turn Tsukimi Rie into a ball of fluff, she had to make sure she was powerless to resist before she could think about what to do next.

The tentacles controlled by Yuuki En relentlessly invaded Tsukimi Rie's body, completely sealing off her movements and voice, but unable to stop her from trembling and moaning in pain.

"Maybe this way we can really defeat Tsukimi Rie," Yuuki Yukino thought naively, and ordered her tentacles to increase their strength.

Although doing this is a bit strange, this is the kind of unconventional battle between magical girls that she is familiar with.

It is filled with lust, spreads morbid pleasure, and leads people astray into the most primal instincts of humankind, causing them to fall into an abyss darker than depravity and into an eternal slumber deeper than mere sleep.

If Yuuki Yuuki saw such a scene in a game, she might feel incredibly excited. However, doing it in real life only filled her with anxiety.

She wished she could press the skip button, which didn't exist here, and fast forward to the scene where Tsukimi Rie was lying on the ground, convulsing with her eyes rolled back.

However, things did not develop as she had expected. She had underestimated Tsukimi Rie, no, she had underestimated the liberation of the gods.

People always hope to see a reversal, a miracle, and the underdog who dares to challenge the strong ultimately triumph.

It's perfectly understandable that people want to see rare sights.

However, blind optimism, believing that gaining a small advantage will inevitably lead to victory, is something worth reflecting on.

When Yuuki Yukari subdued Tsukimi Rie and made her release her wand, she briefly thought she could actually end the battle with this clever trick.

Actually, she did quite well. Having just mastered the release of her true name, she was able to fight on equal terms with a veteran magical girl who had completed her entire magical girl career, and even gained the upper hand at one point.

Humans are inherently ambitious. Once they achieve one goal, they set their sights on the next and assume that they are naturally capable of achieving it.

However, when the gap between the two becomes large enough, it can be described as overestimating one's abilities.

When Yuuki saw Tsukimi Rie raise her tattered single wing from beneath the tentacles, she knew she had overestimated herself.

Having just mastered True Name Release, what makes you think you can defeat Tsukimi Rie's God Release?

"You think you can defile me with this? Do you think you can defile me with something like this?"

Bound like a cocoon, the quiet Tsukimi Rie suddenly began to struggle. The force she unleashed made the tentacles that were restraining her taut, and the airtight barrier was torn apart. Gradually, several tentacles began to break off.

Then, Tsukimi Rie bit off the tentacle that was stuffed into her mouth, hissing like a real snake and glaring fiercely at Yuuki Yukino sitting on the magic book with eyes full of hatred.

The emerald green single wing that whipped up a gale accelerated the process of the restraints breaking down, and when the wing fell, a large number of tentacles were also torn off.

The giant serpent, raising its head, let out a deafening roar, no longer a hiss, but a true roar like that of a trapped beast, breaking free from the chains binding it.

The trap that Yuuki En painstakingly set up did not achieve the effect she wanted.

When Tsukimi Rie grabbed the last clump of tentacles piercing her body and tore them to pieces, Yuuki Yuuki once again realized that she had indeed underestimated the release of the gods.

The situation reversed in an instant. Just a second ago, Yuuki Yuuki was controlling her tentacles to do unspeakable things to Tsukimi Rie, but the next second she was blown away by huge, hollow wings that blotted out the sky, and crashed heavily into a large crystal that was several meters high. She was embedded in the wall and a fishy taste rose from her throat.

Rie Tsukimi brushed off the fragments of tentacles still clinging to her body, reached out with her toes to hook the blade of the greatsword lying on the ground, and kicked it into the air.

With a heavy metallic vibration, the greatsword spun several times in the air. Tsukimi Rie raised her leg and kicked the end of the hilt. The twisted greatsword, with a deafening roar that tore through the air, forcefully pushed Yuuki Eri, who was trapped in the crystalline wall and trying to get up, back down.

The skirt between Yuuki Yukari's legs was pierced by the giant sword and pinned to the crystal. The fabric under the skirt, which was used to cover her body, was also cut open by the sharp blade, and a tear was ripped open as Yuuki Yukari stood up.

If Yuuki Yukino hadn't reacted faster, it might not have been her clothes that were pierced, but her body. She could still feel the cold blade wedged between her legs, and if she wasn't careful, it would cut a wound in her lower body.
