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

A voice rang in the ear of the nun, followed by a gust of wind and a figure passing by her.

A flash of light, and the monsters surrounding the besieged nun turned into a rain of black blood, drenching the somewhat bewildered nun.

Behind the nun, a figure that made her feel incredibly safe stood with his back to her, sheathing his long sword.

"team leader!"

"Captain Swordsman!"

The nuns immediately gasped a few times, but were mostly overjoyed.

Upon noticing that its companion had been cut to pieces, the monster immediately turned around and pounced on the sword-wielder.

With a swift movement, the sword was drawn and the blade fell, the long sword returning to its sheath. Before anyone could even see what had happened, the monsters were sliced ​​into pieces.

Helica Tenrai was unaware that, in the previous team of the Holy Sisters, if half of the strength was taken from Urouge Mashiro, then Kenmochi would be the remaining half of the team after Urouge Mashiro was removed.

The appearance of the sword-wielding monks greatly boosted morale, and the Holy Sisters, who had just begun to consider retreating, now had an unprecedented peak of fighting spirit.

Yuuki Yukino's eyes narrowed slightly, and she waved her hand again, causing some of the giant monsters around her that had not yet made a move to begin to stir.

A black bull with dark markings pawed at its hooves, lowered its head, and charged toward the sword-wielding creature.

He glanced behind him with his sword, then charged fearlessly toward the bull, swinging his wand horizontally.

But the knife was deflected by the horns on the black bull's twisting head. Faced with absolute power, the swordsman was slightly weaker, and a great force seemed to break his wrist.

Just as Jian Chi was about to readjust herself, the bull's horns were already at her chest. If they hit her hard, Jian Chi would probably have several more bloody holes in her body.

Trying to avoid it doesn't seem so easy.

A pink light fell on Kenchi, and Kenchi felt his body lighten. His movements, which were originally too slow, suddenly became agile.

With a few quick taps of his toes, Jian escaped the Black Bull's attack range.

Sakura Hanako was holding a giant syringe that was as tall as her; the ability that had just made Kenchi's speed suddenly increase belonged to her.

"Senior! Although I don't know what happened yet, I will absolutely not let you fight alone."

The black bull was unwilling to give up and turned its massive head to give chase, but a layer of frost had already covered its surface, making its movements sluggish.

It lowered its head and then noticed that two arrows, made of solidified ice crystals and as smooth as glass, had been pierced into its body.

Then, a volley of arrows came flying in, forcing the bull back a few more steps.

In the distance, Mizuno Yu nocked another volley of arrows, aiming one eye at the black bull that had begun to rage.

"Although I don't know if Tianlei has come up with a foolproof plan, we are partners. Even if you act impulsively, I will stand by you."

As Mizuno Yu spoke, she released the bowstring, and a volley of ice arrows rained down, adding several more holes to the black bull's body.

"However, destroying Yuki's teleportation portal in one blow is not something that can be done by acting rashly. Heavenly Thunder, without our knowledge, you have taken another big step forward."

"These things don't matter, the important thing is to keep Yuuki Yui's family members from running around everywhere."

The pale flames ignited the frost-covered black bull, and the wounds pierced by the ice arrows instantly turned a necrotic grayish-white, making the enormous monster even more agitated.

Saint Shiyin, dragging the scythe, shook her finger and blew out the flame on her fingertip: "After all this talk, let's deal with it."

"Understood, Master."

A crack appeared in the center of the black bull, and a different kind of black appeared beside its jet-black body.

Black wings, long black hair, black magical armor, and a runic greatsword that cuts through the blackness.

Feathers fell, and the black bull was split in two, revealing a slender figure that had been hidden by the enormous monster.

Kuroba Laishi watched the black bull fall expressionlessly, twisted his waist, and swung his sword to force back the other monsters that swarmed around him.

"You?!" Helica, who had just sliced ​​a giant, tentacled mass in half with her battle axe, exclaimed in surprise when she saw the figures in the sky.

Saint Shiyin squinted and chuckled, "We, what's wrong with us? We're here to help you! To be precise, we're here to help the entire Moonsea City!"

As Sheng Shiyin was speaking, a katana silently slashed down from behind her. By the time she realized it, it was too late.

Ding-dong.

Another, no, two katanas blocked the sneak attack on Saint Shion. A magical power similar to, yet completely different from, the magic emanating from Saint Shion spread behind her.

Suddenly, like a ghost, Hyakki Chiyu raised her twin swords, which were wreathed in an aura of death, and parried the katana.

The one attacking Seishin was not a magical girl, but a suit of armor—the most common and ornate armor from the Warring States period—wielding a long sword.

Disgusting Shadow, that's its name. It's also one of Yuuki Yukino's familiars. On Christmas Day, it ended the battle with Kuroba Kiyomi with a single blow.

Nausea Shadow mentioned that he was fighting against Hyakki Chiyou, who was wielding two swords. The sound of the blades clashing and bouncing off immediately rang out.

Amidst these sounds, the ear-piercing hum of metal being cut suddenly erupted, accompanied by sparks flying several meters high.

But it only lasted a few seconds before Hong Moli's chainsaw fell from its shoulder, slicing the disgusting shadow in two from its shoulder to its waist like a kasaya slash.

The reassuring strand of short golden hair was tossed behind Hong Moli's head. After a pleasant eye contact with Bai Gui Qianyou, the two transformed into two phantoms once again and infiltrated the battle.

Another loud bang rang out, and a giant serpent made of crystals rose from behind the dark mass of monsters. Its sharp fangs fell and bit the body of the giant worm that had not yet launched an attack, tearing it and pulling it to the ground.

Just as the Night Demon, flapping its wings, was about to help Zero Dream 603 Siba, it found itself tightly wrapped around its body by something black.

It was a heart-shaped tail that dragged it aside, and then a succubus surrounded by pink mist descended from the sky and pierced its body.

Yuuki Yukino's almost unstoppable offensive was contained in just a few minutes.

Chapter 297 Seeking One's Own Death

Initially, the chessboard was drawn by Yuki Yuki, and everyone had to act according to the rules set by Yuki Yuki, which was an overwhelming advantage for Yuki Yuki.

Ever since Helica the Thunder God cleaved open Yuuki Yuuki's portal with a single blow, overturning Yuuki Yuuki's chessboard, this advantage of Yuuki Yuuki's has disappeared.

However, this only brings Yuki En to a level where she can compete fairly with everyone. It does not affect the fact that Yuki En is an excellent player. At the same level, it is not easy to defeat Yuki En.

The addition of nuns, magical girls, and fallen magical girls is merely a way to shorten the distance between everyone and Yuuki Yuuki.

Everyone has been overlooking one thing: the power within Yuuki Yui is the power of the Primordial Darkness. The corresponding Primordial power had already utterly defeated them when it possessed Lin Jiezi. There's no reason for Yuuki Yui to be weaker than that.

However, no matter how strong Yuuki Yuuki is, for the sake of this city, for the girl who once fought alongside her, and for their own different purposes, they must fight with all their might.

However, the situation is indeed not very optimistic.

"Mizuno Yu, could you increase your firepower suppression? There are too many small fry, and we simply can't lock onto the enemy under these circumstances."

Miyashita raised her voice, not caring whether she had revealed the other party's identity. Since the situation was already in complete chaos, she didn't mind making it even more chaotic.

Moreover, this battle concerns the life and death of Yuehai City. After much hesitation, she and Yuejian Lihui finally decided to go ahead and fight this battle regardless of the consequences. These trivial matters are insignificant compared to the safety of the entire city.

Even Mizuno Yu, who usually calculates the situation on the battlefield, was so busy that she was practically running around on her feet. She fired ice arrows from the bowstring without even thinking about it, and she herself didn't have time to think too much. When she heard Miyashita Mia calling her, she immediately answered.

"No, I've already tried to clean up seamlessly as much as possible. Even if you want me to suppress it again, I can't do it."

Normally, there are two people capable of providing firepower suppression. Even after the release of the goddess Tomoe, which turned her into a melee attacker, her arquebus can still cause considerable trouble for a wide range of enemies. Now that one person is missing, all the responsibility falls on Mizuno Yu.

Miyashita Mia's situation is not an isolated case; every magical girl currently engaged in battle is facing a fierce struggle.

This is not only because the number of the opponents is large, but also because Yuuki Yukari knows all of them well, and the monsters she matches with each magical girl are ones that they are not good at dealing with.

Hong Moli and Bai Gui Qianyou were facing an invisible black wind, upon which countless faces of the dead appeared. Their high-speed attacks and the power of blood and death were completely ineffective.

Meanwhile, Kuroba Reisei and Seishin faced off against a constantly writhing tower made up of corpses, and Seishin's pale flames had little effect.

Swordholder was facing a woman in red with bat wings, hair made of venomous snakes, and claws gripping a giant scythe.

Although Mizuno Yu wasn't being harassed by anyone alone, the bird-headed people, wolf-headed people, four-armed dwarves, and even humanoid monsters made of gears that looked like grunts were enough to keep her occupied.

The situation is more or less the same for other magical girls. They are all struggling to cope with their opponents, and even if they cannot be defeated, their magic power is slowly being depleted.

Meanwhile, Yuuki Eri, the original author of this (Sūjū Bāchē), remained seated on the motionless shoulder of the Night Howler, with her legs crossed and chin in hand, admiring the grand battle unfolding below.

"Mari, is there any way to change the current situation?" Hyakki Chiyu asked softly. The gray mist and black gale around them rose and fell, but as soon as the two of them made any other movements, the black wind would seem to have a life of its own, penetrating through their defenses and blocking them here.

"Yes, but it wasn't our decision."

Hong Moli quickly replied, her blood-red magic protecting her and forcing back the black wind that charged at her again. However, the blood, which was almost poisonous to life, could not harm it in the slightest.

"What do you mean?" Bai Gui Qian You asked, puzzled.

"The magical girls who are here, or are on their way, are not as few as you see. I can sense that there are actually more than twice as many as you see now."

"Why then?"

The moment Bai Gui Qian You asked the question, he had already found the answer.

Because it's dangerous.

Apart from these magical girls who were friends with Yuuki Eri and a very few others, everyone in this city had experienced defeat.

No, actually, both Kuroba Reisen and Seishine have had similar experiences to some extent. The ever-victorious Urobuchi Mashiro and Asahi Miyabi are no longer magical girls. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that everyone has memories of losing battles.

No one wants to go through that experience again. Having finally gained a second life, they have even less of a sense of honor and responsibility than ordinary magical girls. Even if that's a bit of an exaggeration, it's only after losing something that you realize how precious those things you take for granted really are.

If the sky were to fall, there would be tall people to hold it up, so it would never fall on their heads—that's the general idea most people have.

They had witnessed Yuuki Yukino's power, as well as the strength of Helica and her group. If they weighed the pros and cons, for their own safety, it would be better not to take action.

Yes, it's that simple a reason, but there's no solution whatsoever.

That's why, as Hong Moli said, there are solutions, and even if they can't be completely solved, they can still improve the current situation. But this is not something they can decide.

Behind a tall building not far away, a magical girl looked around and then asked the person next to her.

"They seem to be struggling a bit, do we really not need to help them?"

"Let's wait a little longer. Maybe things will change if we wait a little longer." The magical girl beside him stared intently at the battlefield, her body completely hidden in the shadows, and said to the man.

"What if... there's no hope left, then..." The magical girl who spoke first stammered, clearly wanting to rush out but lacking the courage.

"What kind of strength do you have? You can't even unleash your divine powers. And me? I'm the same. If there's no turning point, what can two magical girls who can't even unleash their divine powers do? Can we influence the course of the battle? Don't be silly." The magical girl next to her snorted.

“That’s true…” The man was finally convinced and nodded repeatedly: “You’re right, there really is nothing we can change.”

Just then, a disgruntled voice rang out from behind them.

"Since nothing can be changed, should we just do nothing?"

A magical girl they didn't recognize, wielding a lance, stood angrily behind them, her furious eyes glaring at them.

One of them asked the person next to him, "Do you know her?"

The person next to him shook his head: "I don't know him. I thought you did."

The man shrugged: "If I knew him, why would I be asking you this?"
