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

Inuyama Baki shuddered and glanced at the black mud all over the ground with disgust.

Even if the girls had seen similar things in real life, the feeling was completely different when its quantity was doubled almost infinitely.

The black mud had completely covered the ground, as vast and boundless as the sea seen when looking out at it at night. The viscous waves surged among the black mud, looking more like scalding asphalt.

It wasn't a simple churning. Yuuki En seemed to see countless blurry human faces hidden in the black mud, opening their mouths wide with each surge of the mud, letting out a silent scream, only to be swallowed up by the darkness once more.

This unsettling black mud is merely a backdrop; everything exists to highlight the absolutely unmissable main subject.

A massive sanctuary floated alone on the black sea, like a lone boat lost in the universe. This scene, which should have been solemn and desolate, seemed particularly eerie at this moment.

The sanctuary was almost identical to the one that rose from beneath the Holy Eternity Academy. If the Holy Eternity Academy's sanctuary hadn't been destroyed, Yuuki Enishi would have suspected that the enemy had simply moved that thing over.

If the black mud was merely an accompaniment to the sanctuary, then the sanctuary itself seemed to be an accompaniment to the solitary magical girl standing before the stained-glass window.

Her hair was predominantly blue, her eyes seemed to be filled with swirling vortexes, and countless colorful bubbles floated behind her.

Mashiro Gorgen, the undisputed culprit, stood there so openly, personally welcoming the arrival of the magical girls.

When Yuuki Yuki finally met Gen Ken Mashiro, she was momentarily speechless.

If she were a heroine from a shonen anime, she would surely raise her holy sword and say, "Your schemes have come to an end. Now, surrender!" and then get into battle stance with her companions.

At this point, the enemy will say something like, "I never expected you to make it this far, but this is your end. I won't let you ruin my grand plan."

Unfortunately, Yuuki Yuki isn't that kind of person, and Urobuchi Mashiro wouldn't say such tasteless and villainous things.

"I'm not going to care about you guys anymore! I'm going first!"

Lancet twisted his neck, swung his wand, and crashed into Genki Mashiro like a shooting star flying backwards.

After all, Lantern of the Mountain is not everyone's partner, and there is no need for her to listen to Yuuki Yuen's arrangements. She came here to fight.

The giant sword formed from lava slashed towards Genki Mashiro, the scorching air gushing from it ruffling her short hair, but it didn't actually kiss her body.

Something unseen blocked the giant sword of flames, forcing it to a stop right in front of Gen Ken Mashiro.

They are those invisible color blocks. Yuuki Yuki first saw this ability of Urobuchi Mashiro when she first faced him.

However, the transparent block that had been fighting Yuuki Enishi to a standstill was completely unable to stop the Lava Mountain Lamp in the slightest. In just a moment, the Flame Greatsword cut through all obstacles in its path and forcefully cleaved down with unshakeable momentum.

But before it could touch Genki Mashiro, Genki Mashiro's body vanished from its spot, causing the unavoidable giant sword to miss its target.

“Yog-Sothoth is a wand that wields the power of time and space, and just now, her power was activated.”

Yumehara Sumireko spoke coldly, explaining to the other magical girls who hadn't seen how Urobuchi Mashiro dodged the attack, which made the girls somewhat understand.

If Sumireko Yumehara hadn't said anything, Yuuki Yuuki wouldn't have known that the other party had actually used "powers." She could only vaguely sense a fleeting, unusual feeling.

Yuuki Yui couldn't say for sure whether Urobuchi Mashiro, who possessed the Three Pillars of Divine Magic Wand, or Touya Kou, was stronger, but the outcome certainly wouldn't be decided in a short time.

Yuuki Yukino wasn't there to watch the battle; she and her companions had more important things to do.

"While Mashiro is temporarily tied up, let's move on."

Yuuki Yui immediately decided on her next move, speeding up to bypass the battlefield between Genki Mashiro and Lava Mountain Lantern, and flying towards the Grand Cathedral behind Genki Mashiro.

Gen Kenma's body swayed slightly before disappearing from the spot once more.

When Yuuki Yukino saw her again, Gen Urobuchi Mashiro was already standing in front of her.

But the magma lantern had already fallen towards Yuuki Enishi like a burning meteor, sweeping the greatsword in her hand forward again before Urouge Mashiro could do anything to her.

Wow, that was fast.

That's all I feel for Yuuki Yuki.

Besides, Yuuki Yuki's mind was unusually calm, without any unnecessary thoughts, and she made a reasonable judgment.

Genken Mashiro flashed to Yuuki Yuuki's side, and Rokuzan Tamamo forced him back with a sword swing. Yuuki Yuuki then slid her body around the battlefield, which was actually only a matter of a moment.

But how many times did the tactics of the two sides clash in that instant, and how far they each went in their thinking, are probably only known to themselves.

"Don't be such a spoilsport. I came here for you. There's no need to worry about hurting anyone else here. It's a perfect opportunity to fight without restraint." Lava Mountain Lantern weighed the greatsword in his hand, then gripped it in his other hand and pounced on Genki Mashiro like a giant dragon formed from lava.

Xu Yan Zhenbai remained silent, while the colorful light bubbles and distorted color blocks danced wildly in the air like a child doing graffiti, leaving messy colors in the air.

Those colors became her shield, constantly reducing the speed of Shinjiro and the power of her unstoppable attack.

The massive, fiery red slash spanned the entire sky of the Dreamland, lingering for a long time, resembling the claw marks left by a dragon's claws.

The burst of heat caused the surrounding temperature to rise sharply, and at one point even the bottomless black mud underfoot was steamed up as if someone had scooped out a spoonful of ice cream, creating a huge hole.

Lava Mountain Lantern didn't insist on communicating with the other party. She wasn't the type to keep talking during a fight. Seeing that Genki Mashiro remained silent, she simply increased the strength and speed of her simple and unadorned attacks.

Even though the greatsword never touched Utsugi Mashiro, she was constantly retreating, and her space to move was being squeezed more and more.

Mashiro Gorgen could see the magical girls rushing past her in a single file, but let alone stopping them, even a moment's distraction could have devastating consequences for her.

Collision, collision, and more collision—the two magical forces converged repeatedly at the top of the sanctuary. But for the time being, none of this mattered to the girls. Their goal was clear: to rush into the grand sanctuary and stop Asahimi inside.

The heat emanating from behind made the girls feel as if they were facing the sun directly beneath the earth. Their hair danced wildly in the intense wind pressure, but it did not slow them down in the slightest.

During the confrontation between the two, Yuuki Yuki and her group had already overcome the initial obstacle and successfully arrived at the main entrance of the sanctuary.

Yuuki Yuuki landed on the steps of the sanctuary, looking back at her magical girl companions who were fighting alongside her.

Not a single one was missing. Even Lin Jiezi, who had little fighting ability, was well protected and was now standing at the very end of the group with some fear.

Just now, when Genjiro Mashiro used his power, Yuuki Yui was also secretly watching Hayashi Keiko's reaction, but the result was... no reaction.

Yuki En had originally planned to use Hayashi Mustard to block either Urobuchi Mashiro or Asahi Miyabi, making a simple exchange tactic, while the others would work together to attack the remaining one.

However, the appearance of the Lava Lamp helped Yuki Eri complete the task that might have been given to Hayashi Mustard more stably, making their operation smoother.

What happens to Lin Jiezi is not the point now; the point is how to break into the Great Cathedral and defeat the remaining enemy inside.

Hey.

Yuuki Enishi stepped onto the steps at the entrance of the sanctuary, carefully observing the differences between this place and the underground area of ​​the Holy Ancient Academy.

But nothing seemed amiss; the door was tightly shut, the room was dark and gloomy, and there was an eerie, unsettling quality to the otherwise sacred atmosphere.

Just looking at it gave Yuuki Yuki a bad feeling.

"Xiao Yuan, what are you waiting for? Aren't you going in?"

Baqi took a few steps to Yuuki Yuki's side and reached out to push the huge door blocking the girls' way.

Just before Baqi's palm made contact with the giant gate, the giant gate emitted a strange sound.

Get out of the way!

Yuuki Yuuki shouted, and a swarm of tentacles replaced her own hand, grabbing Baqi by the collar and flinging her away, while she herself retreated at top speed.

Almost at the same moment Yuuki Yuuki shouted those words, the heavy door shattered with a crash, and countless pitch-black tentacles that occupied the entire main corridor crawled out from the broken door, like a pitch-black behemoth wanting to devour everything in its sight.

Yuuki Yui knew that the enemies inside the sanctuary would not sit idly by and wait to die.

Unfortunately, the tentacles came too quickly, and Yuuki Yukari's only priority was to shake off Baqi, so she simply didn't have the energy to deal with anything else.

The others! Lin Jiezi is there too!

The petite girl, completely disproportionate to the enormous mass of tentacles, transformed into a streak of lightning and swiftly passed by the others, her fist slamming into the chaotic tentacles.

The sudden attack by the tentacles was briefly halted.

"Protect Lin Jiezi!" Herica's shout was louder than the crackling lightning around her.

Nishio Reki grabbed Hayashi Mustard's hand and narrowly escaped the attack range of the tentacles with the panicked bespectacled girl. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the surrounding girls leaped up, leaving only Tenrai Herika still standing on the ground, struggling against the huge tentacles.

The tentacles that Helica had temporarily stopped became even more active, thrashing wildly under the scorching heat of the lightning as they spread outwards, crawling around Helica like ancient trees with intertwined roots.

Helica kept swinging her fists, using the lightning on them to cut the tentacles, but her space was being compressed, and she was now only able to move within a range of less than two meters.

"Helika!"

"Don't come any closer!"

Just as Yuuki Yuki was about to say something, Helica abruptly interrupted her.

Sensing the ever-increasing magical power emanating from Helica, Yuuki Yukino already knew what she was about to do.

"spread!"

Yuuki gave the order, and then retreated even further away herself.

Herika was completely enveloped by the relentless onslaught of tentacles. The entrance, constructed of stone bricks, was like a fungal carpet laid by the alien insects, completely covered by the tentacles.

A faint light shone from the dark tentacles, proving that Helica was safe and sound.

The tentacles crawling out of the porch continued to increase in number. They twisted, clung, and piled up layer upon layer, like a child who was afraid of being seen by their parents after stealing a phone under the covers and then covered themselves with several more blankets.

But no matter what they did, the faint light could not be concealed; on the contrary, it became even more obvious.

Ice cracks appeared on the tentacles and spread outwards at an extremely fast speed. Now it was no longer a blanket, but a bright and artistic night light.

A glimmer of light shot straight into the sky from the crack in the tentacle, growing more and more numerous and denser, like a giant light bulb hanging overhead in a nightclub.

The bursting silver-white lightning merged with the pitch black, adding a new color to this dark world after the giant sword of lava.

Then, all that was left was white.

The girls felt as if someone had pressed a shutter button right in front of them. The flash went off, and the dense tentacles, along with the entrance stairs, seemed to have been erased from the world and disappeared without a trace.

The blonde girl clapped her hands as if she had just touched something filthy.

Then, she pointed to herself with her thumb up.

What kind of small fry is Chapter 86 the first time?

The tremors of the silver lightning gradually dissipated, but the crackling sound of electricity still filled every corner of this space.

The black mud, which had been blasted open, was flowing back with a viscous sound, filling the void left by the burning and evaporation.

The blonde girl raised her eyes and made what she thought was a cool gesture to her companions, but for the others it brought more reassurance.

Although everything happened very quickly and the process was unusually intense, Asahi Miyabi's sudden attack was thus thwarted.

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, which is originally the most disadvantageous situation for the girls. If Asahimi's sudden attack is used properly, it can greatly reduce the fighting strength of Yuuki Enishi's side.

Just like the day when Saint Shion raised the sanctuary, an ordinary nun used a materialized sniper rifle and wand to single-handedly render Sakura Hanako and Mizuno Yui incapable of fighting.

However, this crucial, one-time opportunity did not yield enough to turn the tide of the battle; in fact, the benefits were almost negligible. Asahi has now lost the initiative.

The emerging black tentacles were also a signal, indicating that they had not had a second to rest after withdrawing from Mashiro's side, and the battle with Asahiya had already begun.

The broken tentacles, which had been burned to ashes by the high-temperature lightning in the first half, began to retreat towards the porch, quickly deflated like a punctured balloon. After a short while, only the steps that had been mostly lifted up by the tentacles and were now a pile of broken sand and gravel remained around half of the entrance.
