In front of the Brave, it rises to the enemy suspended in the air, like a stairway to the sky. The stage splits and rises to the sound of machinery running at full power, paving the way ahead for her.

In response to Mephistopheles' call, the city of karmic fire disappeared like a ravine in the midst of an earthquake, and the shadow of the light that broke free was magnified by the light and projected to the back of the auditorium.

"I was able to do it, and I didn't live up to my confidence in her."

Li Wu sat down with peace of mind, and the pigeon on his shoulder glanced at him with disdain.

I don't know who was in a hurry and was about to break the wall and forcibly intervene on the stage.

"I seem to have a preliminary idea of how to run to the top."

Although it doesn't seem to be necessary now.

Stepping on the Stairway to the Heavens, Rinko Hori resembled an ancient righteous man who had assassinated a tyrant, turning into a galloping streamer that pointed his sword at the enemy high in the sky.

"Unexpected......"

Mephistopheles let out a calm sigh, and even lowered the weapon in his hand, and put on a posture of neck and death, "It's really a touching friendship, so what?" ”

The moment the blade touched her body, she turned into black smoke and dissipated.

Because of the sudden change in feel, Hikari realized that something was wrong, but the attack that had been gathering momentum for a long time could not be undone.

Eventually, the Radiant Sword collided with the heavy blade of the axe.

Li Wu, who had just sat down not long ago, stood up suddenly.

"Rin-san?"

The black mist like a door dissipated, and Aoi Hoshikawa, who had been separated after entering the second seal, walked out of it, looking at the light in front of him with some astonishment, "What's going on?" I just remembered something important in the battle with the enemy......"

The giant axe easily pushed away the blade of the sword, changing from a witch-like outfit to another Lolita-like dress, and Aoi Hoshikawa, who was also draped in a blue cloak on her left shoulder, announced, "I'm not a witch, I'm a magical girl!" ”

As she deepened the second seal, she seemed to have regained the image of the original world, and at this moment, she put the giant weapon that was extremely incommensurate with herself on the stage, and asked, "Li Jun is also here......"

At this moment, Hikari made a move that no one expected.

She took a step forward and swung her sword again at Hoshikawa Aoi's left shoulder.

"What is this for?!"

The latter was surprised to block the near-sneak attack with the middle of the giant axe, "Rin-san, are you crazy?" ”

"Hikari, what do you perceive?"

Although the audience was also panicked for a moment, he quickly realized that there was a hidden story behind it.

"I already felt in the conversation with the stage that the way to unlock the second seal is to start the battle so that there is only one person left on the stage, no matter who the opponent is."

With the strength of her bare hands, the blade of the sword and the long pole of the magic axe sharpened into a splash of sparks, and she crossed the blade in the wrestling and stared at her opponent's face.

"In that case, there are cheats that don't require a civil war."

Li Wu quickly thought of the loophole in the rules, and Hoshikawa Aoi nodded with a sense of clarity: "That's right, then Rin-san, you just admit defeat yourself, I'll get rid of that guy with wings." ”

Wrong! That's not what I mean!

With the understanding of his childhood sweetheart, he shouted in his heart that it was not good.

Light lowered his head.

If it weren't for that conversation the night before; If it weren't for the aggrieved interruption of her favorite Jedi reversal scene just about to stage and swap her opponent for a friendly one; If Hoshikawa Aoi hadn't said that sentence so naturally, or if it wasn't her but Airisa, maybe things would have been a different development.

But now the long-accumulated gunpowder is ignited under the operation of various coincidences.

"The way one side simply conceded defeat and left the stage did not meet the requirements of breaking the seal, what it longed for was a sincere, faithful struggle, and I also wanted to fight...... Protect you. ”

"Huh?"

Hoshikawa Aoi fell into confusion, and the light that raised her head showed a bright smile: "The person who faced the enemy under the witness of Xiao Wu should be me." ”

The stirring march that represents the protagonist's fight back switches to cheerful jazz in the blink of an eye, and the light jumps lightly back on the stairs leading to the heights, and stabs at the rhythm towards the magical girl at the top as if performing a solo waltz.

The sword qi that shone like rainbow light left a brilliant trail in the air, and the staircase supporting the two began to disintegrate just by passing through, Hoshikawa Aoi hurriedly swung the magic axe to slash away the attacking attack, and the brave man who was close raised the sword of light in his hand.

"Fall off the position you occupy!"

The longitudinal slashing arc was as heavy as a mountain range, and the moment it collided with the blade of the axe, it burst into a fierce electric light.

Just as she had declared, the dazzling impact of the wheel of light completely reduced the foothold they had held in the air to ashes in an instant, and in the light hand, the power that was restrained into the form of a sword was freed for a moment, creating an oval-shaped dent on the impossibly solid stage.

At the center of the dent, falling from mid-air to the ground, the two girls standing opposite each other clenched their weapons with both hands almost at a close distance, maintaining a posture of holding each other and fighting for the qualification to fight the enemy.

"Since you say so, I won't spare my hand, let's see who is more suitable to defeat the cadres of the Demon King Army."

Hoshikawa Aoi, who was attacked continuously, also rose into flames, she retreated half a step back with her right foot, leaned forward slightly and pulled the giant axe away from the sword body of light, and after avoiding the slash that the other party took advantage of the situation, she carried Jilotan behind her back like a dragon's tail, and then threw it out quickly!

The blow, which was as powerful as a hammer, was blocked by the Excalibur raised horizontally by the light, but the force that followed knocked the petite girl out of the way, plowed a new furrow on the stage.

The pigeon that had been standing on Li Wu's shoulder in the audience seemed to look stupid, and let out a sluggish cooing sound.

It came to its senses and pecked at his earlobe, as if urging the other to think of a solution.

"Why just watch? Did you really betray?! ”

It was in a hurry to speak.

"Calm down, they're not really serious."

Li Wuqiang, who had also never seen this meeting, calmly calmed the pigeon's feathers, "Otherwise, it won't be just this level of destruction." ”

After all, it was just a battle that became justified under the mechanism of the second seal, not to mention that there was a common enemy watching on the side, and the current two were at best competing on the basis of leaving enough room to spare.

So the music that sounded on the stage was not rousing military music, but cheerful jazz - Li Wu hoped that his understanding was right.

The battle was intense from the start, and the culprit who designed the situation would not miss the moment.

"I smell it, and the theme changes from [dreams] to [jealousy]."

From the shadows between the two warring men, the figure of the vanished Mephistopheles leaned, "It's up to me to end this chain of pain—"

"Don't get in the way!" "Get out of here!"

The staggered swords and axes slammed down with the help of the other party's push, pushing the silver-haired girl back like a whack-a-mole, leaving a cracked pit in the loud bang.

"Look...... I'll just say so. ”

For some reason, Li Wu felt as if he was in a cold sweat.
