"Your [Sword] is too weak!"

Hoshikawa Aoi lifted the heavy double-bladed giant axe and smashed it down with the billowing gale.

It was a high-speed sword technique unlike Mephistopheles, a simple and almost rustic vertical slash that anyone with a modicum of martial arts experience could replicate.

But it was such an ordinary slash, but it was like a meteor that pierced the sky and the sword light from the light of Hori Rinko collided and gnawed it out.

The golden-colored aura was blown in all directions like a wave of the ocean, and the edges of the Magic Axe that had broken through the obstacles lit up with an orange-red glow as if it had been charged, and bombarded the opponent's original position.

Nearly a quarter of a huge stage is lifted upwards like a seesaw at one end, and if it were not for its self-regenerating properties, even the Paris Opera Theater with an area of more than 10,000 square meters would not have been able to bear the burden of being a battlefield for the transcendent.

After the raging tide had cleared, Hori Rin landed on the top of the upturned floor, holding his sword in front of him like a knight who had made an oath.

"I'm going to be here—"

The destroyed field echoes the girl's will, shaping a smooth slope from under her feet to Aoi Hoshikawa, "Down with you!" ”

From her sword-holding right wrist radiated a sun-like wheel of light until it covered her entire arm.

As if completely fused with the formless Falcion, he turned his right hand into a white-gold cone of light.

She leaned forward and slid down the downward ramp as if she were gliding, the wind surrounding her as a force that propelled her towards her opponent!

"Hmm, though I don't understand why I'm so serious all of a sudden."

It's a giant axe that gives the impression of a heavy weapon, but at the moment, it turns like a dexterous thin sword in the hand of a magical girl, "But I won't lose!" ”

The white-gold Excalibur and the Demon Axe parted with a single touch, leaving only a spherical shockwave in place, and the torrent of brave power and magic power intertwined, forming a spiral that spread upwards.

And the one who finally took a step back was Rinko Hori.

She stepped back and smashed the stage floor beneath her feet, but her opponent followed almost without hesitation, turning her wrist to unleash a flat stab.

The double-edged axe was obviously not a weapon suitable for stabbing, so in the face of this blow, which was like a poisonous snake's bite, Guang was caught off guard and raised his sword to block.

But then, she instinctively understood the mistake of this choice.

Because the two had been fighting in close quarters until now, she subconsciously used Guillotan as a double-edged giant axe in her mind to counteract, and even if she saw her opponent's unexpected movements, she still chose to block with the inertia of her body.

However, no matter how wild the appearance is, in essence, it is actually a magic weapon that amplifies and transforms magical power, and what stabs between the two sharp blades is not the ramming angle, but the muzzle of the magic cannon.

"Bang!"

The diamond-shaped barrel lit up a white loop, wrapping around the electric light and climbing towards the release exit, and finally turning into a small ball of lightning at zero distance.

Even if it wasn't a magic cannon that needed to be charged, the sudden impact pushed the light that was one size smaller than the opponent away, and the balance of the body was destroyed in an instant!

It doesn't matter, just seize this opportunity to adjust your posture -

I won't give you this chance-

Hoshikawa Aoi took another step forward with exactly the same distance as before, and the recoil of the zero-distance bombardment caused the magic axe to tremble slightly, and she smoothly retreated backwards, and she released her hand for a moment as if she had not known it, and then clenched it again, as if the weapon cooperated with her, and moved the middle of the long pole to her master's hand on its own, and then took advantage of the situation like a demon wolf chasing her opponent to the death, and slashed sideways towards the retreating Hori Rinko.

Light had no choice but to raise his sword to meet it twice under the close pursuit, but due to the small disadvantage left a slight gap in the defensive line, he once again fell into the disadvantage by a slight margin, and took half a step back.

In the waves of air and light generated by the collision of the Sword of Light and the Magic Axe, Hoshikawa Aoi was like a sophisticated machine, taking the same half step in her direction with almost the same stride, and the Magic Axe bounced back with the recoil force of the block, and then easily reversed direction and slashed diagonally downwards again.

At this time, Rinko Hori finally realized.

So far, the distance between them has not changed, and they are always under the control of Hoshikawa Aoi.

As if using a combo technique unleashed by a certain rhythm of key commands in a fighting game, Hoshikawa Aoi unhurriedly maintains the offensive of pressing the opponent, and the glow of magic Guillotan leaves a retina-burning flash in the air, inflicting damage little by little like a repetitive piledriver, expanding the advantage until the opponent is completely destroyed.

The two girls seemed to be dancing a double waltz on the stage, no matter how much Hikari tried to get out, always maintaining a more favorable interval for the long weapon, not allowing her a chance to unleash Falcion's power or dodge, like a cobwebs that had stuck to the flying insects, dragging their opponents to death in a continuous melee combat.

Whether it's attacking, defending, or dodging, Slashing and Assaulting, and spitting out swift magic bullets that don't need to be charged at unexpected times, Guillotan will follow as if it were a gradual guillotine, just as its name suggests.

The enemy that the magical girl faces is a monster of the negative world with thousands of forms, an enemy from the outside world.

Rinko Hori vaguely understood that this was not a martial art technique used against humans, but a school of fighting designed with "powerful and amorphous monsters" as imaginary enemies, and without thinking about how to break the moves, swallowing the enemy at their own pace, as if the ancient crowd was hunting giant beasts with spears held high.

And now, she has become a beast that has been hunted and fallen into a trap.

The moment I realized this, a huge flood of emotions almost overwhelmed the mind.

It's called fear.

The blade connected to the heart of the brave dimmed almost at the same time.

Hoshikawa Aoi naturally wouldn't let go of such an obvious flaw, nor would she give her the opportunity to shape the Excalibur again, and the pure white magic power was wrapped around the giant axe like a ribbon and fluttered high, as if it was burning with a holy flame.

If ordinary matter is swept by the gorgeous flow of magic like silk, it will end up falling apart.

Almost as a small magic cannon materialized on the weapon, Hoshikawa Aoi unleashed a steel-like combo.

I don't know how many times, the sword was swept away and repulsed, and the blazing white thunder once again descended with a whistling rapidity, sweeping the surrounding air into it, bursting out with a sharp noise.

The sword body condensed by the light flickered and dimmed, as if it was about to be extinguished like a faint candle flame in the next moment, and when the blade of the sword was against the giant axe again, the magical girl even had room to speak.

"Now, Rin-san, I think I've had enough of it here."

Her face was full of trouble, "It's time to break the second seal." ”

The other party is not malicious, just knowing.

originally asked to unlock the seal, but after the truth of the first seal was revealed, she was actually the most urgent one - maybe her childhood sweetheart.

The battle they had just fought had met the requirements of the stage, and the most reasonable way now was to leave the field obediently, hand over the baton to the dominant opponent, and wish her victory over the next enemy.

Staying on the stage like a cheat is just a wayward act that he will not be heavy on himself as a teammate in the same camp.

So, probably in the other party's opinion, just like her usual whimsical behavior, this is just another joke that doesn't look at the occasion, right?

However, the unintentional words were still like a sharp blade, piercing deep into the girl's heart.

"I don't want to lose!"

Don't want to lose to "you".

The sword and axe clashed again, and Rinko Hori retreated like a baseball that had been knocked off.

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose."

As if coaxing a child, Hoshikawa Aoi explained as she pressed forward, "I also remember some of the impressions of the original world now. ”

She said the truth lightly: "In the end, Hori-Rin-san's original world didn't have any special power, but the so-called brave was given the ability here, and it was also because of inexperience that he would lose. Maybe you'll be able to retain your current power after we break the quadruple seal, and then we'll talk about who is better, okay? ”

Completely correct statements.

From the perspective of Hoshikawa Aoi, who doesn't know what happened, the reason why Hikari launched the challenge is probably to prove the strength of the combat power.

But there's no comparison.

The magical girl is a humanoid weapon that is sublimated from the body of a mortal in order to annihilate things outside the world.,Looking at the miracle of the mysterious side of the world, which is also extremely rare.。

When Rinko Hori was living in junior high school as an ordinary child who longed to encounter supernatural events, Aoi Hoshikawa had already learned the trick of releasing the magic cannon quickly under the guidance of her seniors.

In addition to the ability of the brave and the battle in the two seals, the so-called experience of exploring the labyrinth in this world is an illusory delusion, how can it be better than the real combat experience of fighting the enemy?

"I ...... Aware. ”

As if she had to endure great pain with every word she spit out, the thin girl trembled and supported the giant axe that had been smashed again, "You...... Hoshikawa Aoi is very powerful, and I've always understood it! ”

The first time, instead of calling each other by a strange nickname, she called out her full name.

Hoshikawa Aoi inexplicably felt that the "powerful" in her mouth didn't seem to mean the combat power she understood, but the opponent who had thought she was exhausted unexpectedly launched a swift counterattack, and she had to focus on the battle.

Rinko Hori stared at her opponent's flawless face and the luxurious long hair that rose and fell in the high-speed movement just now.

That's right, she's always known.

Whether it's a beautiful appearance that you will find even as a person of the same sex, or an innocent and reliable character.

What's more, as the first light that breaks the daily and shatters the ordinary reality, it represents a special meaning in his heart, which is the scene she and he once described together when they were children - the white-robed wizard from the side of the world jumped from the vortex of the ceiling of the classroom to the podium, and said to them with a wrinkled face, young girl, you have been chosen, and now that Middle-earth is in danger under the invasion of the flood of Digimon species, quickly choose three primordial Pokémon with me and embark on the road of adventure; So they stepped over the eyes of their teachers and classmates, and stepped into another world hand in hand.

However, in reality, I didn't meet an old wizard with a wrinkled face like a bun skin, but a young and beautiful witch passing by took the boy away, leaving the dazed girl to stay in place.

"Because I know, if I don't beat you once now, I won't have the courage to challenge again!"

The burning emotion seemed to burn his throat, all the while turning his lungs to ashes, and Hikari cried out almost in grief.

It was pointless, and she knew it.

To whom to prove, what to prove, she did not think about these things.

A blow was heavier than a blow, a blow was smoother than a blow, like a repetitive hammer blow, and Hoshikawa Aoi's terrifying continuous attacks were like flowing water through the rocks, never interrupted, but it froze a little because of the words.

"Huh?"

The magical girl almost touched her little head for no apparent reason, thinking about what Rin-san Hori meant.

So, Hikari seized the opportunity to breathe.

"Before, you couldn't understand why you were suddenly so serious, I was very envious of Hoshikawa-san, who could say such things."

The re-established sword of light turned in a sharp arc and unleashed a sharp upward slash.

Because you're someone you already have, whether it's the reality breaking superpower I once craved, or something else.

"It's good if I don't meet you!"

The swords and axes collided, setting off a fierce wind like a knife cutting face.

Then we will imagine the existence of another world together, and then we will grow up together in an ordinary way, and then live like this.

"Why isn't Hoshikawa-san a wrinkled old man from Middle-earth!"

The giant axe slashes through the sword, and Rinko Hori retreats to the edge of the stage.

Why should you be a girl our age?

"Huh?"

Hoshikawa Aoi shook as never before, "What is Grandpa?!" Does Rin-san Hori really hate me so much? ”

"Of course it's a lie!"

If you hadn't met a magical girl who happened to fight on campus, Xiao Wu would have died.

Moreover, even if she doesn't want to admit it, in the process of frolicking with everyone and facing all kinds of events, she used to have only one figure in her eyes, and more or less included them in her field of vision.

Hate a person, if only it were something simpler.

The spotlight danced wildly, focusing on the two figures on the edge of the stage.

Hikari's upper body was almost thrown back out of bounds, and she looked at her enemies in every sense of the word, and made a request for a decisive battle: "The final blow—"

Hoshikawa Aoi picked up the second half of the sentence: "Decide the winner!" ”
