How do you defeat an opponent whose hard power is temporarily above yours?

Hori Rinko herself didn't expect that in this kind of final battle, she would still be able to keep a glimmer of calm thinking.

The stage begins to transform in response to the will of the two girls, and in response to her request for a showdown, Hoshikawa Aoi distances herself from the light for the first time with the force of the recoil of the intersecting weapons, and the gears that are hidden in the unknown place turn at high speed, rising like a throne at her feet.

Tonal shifting lights converged behind her, forming a doji-like mark.

Rinko Hori, who was looking down, stretched out her left hand to the dazzling star, and slowly tightened her five fingers as if she wanted to hold it in it.

I also want to pick up the stars that are out of reach.

There was no need to say anything more, the magical girl bathed in starlight raised her blade high, and the power so thick that it could be seen by the naked eye turned into a vortex of substance, which turned violently over the stage, and finally turned into a pure white torrent and merged into Gujotan.

The final blow, the one that separates the winner from the loser.

Incredibly, the mood at this time was unexpectedly calm.

Light withdrew his hand and pressed it to his heart, feeling the rhythm rising upward, and raised the golden sword that shone again.

"When you're ready, death won't come to you."

"I'm not trying to kill you!" "Playing Gundam Terrier at this time?!"

The opponent who was accumulating her strength and the audience who were nervously about to lie on the edge of the stage almost simultaneously complained, which made her feel a little unhappy.

This unpleasantness will turn into bombardment...... She's talking about the motivation to beat Hoshikawa-san.

In the face of tremendous pressure, Rinko Hori closed his eyes and let the power of the brave surge consciously.

Since you can't think of a way to win against her, let the power push you.

I believe that what she hopes for, the extraordinary power to break the everyday will bring miracles!

In the next moment, the girl on the ground jumped to the level of the queen in the sky, the sword and the axe collided together, but it burst out with an incredible humming sound similar to the breaking glass, and the wandering light and the turbulent air wave instantly collapsed the towering throne, but the falling light and Hoshikawa Aoi continued to wrestle in the air unaffected.

Just like the climactic plot of a sword and halberd movie, the big collision that bets on the final blow lasted only a few seconds before ending with the collapse of one side.

Unsurprisingly, the white-gold sword of light erupted like a dying dragon, bursting with bursts of lightning, and rain-like debris slowly sprinkled along with the cracking of the sword's body, as if a luxurious fireworks cannon was being fired on the stage.

Immediately afterward, the magic guide giant axe, which was deeply embedded in the crack of the sword, was still not satisfied, and it vibrated like a chainsaw, wanting to completely shatter the opponent's blade.

The two girls landed on the edge of the devastated stage floor, and as if they had been badly hit, they looked at Falcion in disbelief.

That look was as if his heart had been broken by a rough external force.

"There's still a chance to throw in the towel, Rin-san."

Hoshikawa Aoi gently persuaded him.

She shook her head stubbornly, and hung her head as if to avoid being seen in the tears she shed.

The magical girl who sighed simply waved the magic guide armor named the guillotine neatly, and completely crumpled the scarred sword of light into gorgeous pieces like a hot knife cutting through butter, and stayed in front of the opponent's white neck without abating, and the flow of magic wrapped around it was forcibly suspended by the owner.

Of course, she couldn't really be heavy on Rinko Hori - although forcibly interrupting the charged move like this would make it inevitable that even a magical girl would need time to recuperate.

Glancing at a certain spectator outside the arena who had pulled out the holy spear, Hoshikawa Aoi felt a similar unpleasantness as Hikari's before.

The other party still hung his head, as if he refused to accept reality.

It's not good if she makes her cry.

Thinking so, Hoshikawa Aoi, whose IQ outside the battle returned to the usual level, tried to comfort: "That, there is a saying that victory and defeat are the mother of soldiers......"

However, the victory just now came too easily, and the sword of light reshaped by the other party was even more fragile than the original level, almost like a copycat toy with no appearance.

The magical girl's mind froze for a moment.

In sight, the ceiling of the theater inside the Second Seal appeared.

Why do I see the ceiling?

Because the body is leaning back.

The light, which had not yet completely disappeared from view, raised its head, and there was a sly smile on his face that rarely appeared.

Her left hand pressed on Aoi Hoshikawa's flank, and she suddenly exerted force.

It's not an unfathomable technique, nor is it that she finally had an epiphany when she hit a tree since she was a child, it's just a push-person attack used by ordinary girls in fights.

However, at this time when Hoshikawa Aoi is recovering from the air, and occupying the advantage of already accumulating strength, it can achieve an effect that cannot be ignored!

That is, to knock her out who was already standing on the edge of the stage!

Plop.

The magical girl stumbles through the invisible wall without hindrance and stumbles into the arms of the audience, startling the pigeon.

Because it was off the stage, the blue cloak fell in response, like a white flag raised by the loser.

"When?!"

Hoshikawa Aoi broke free and asked in disbelief, then quickly reacted, "It was you who stretched out your left hand to me!" ”

At that moment, the Excalibur shaped by the other party was actually an empty shell of hypocrisy, just waiting to accumulate strength and knock itself away with the last punch!

"Hmph, hum...... Hum hahahahaha! ”

The petite girl left on the stage trembled her shoulders and crossed her waist and laughed wildly.

"Oh no, I'm going to get carried away."

The childhood sweetheart, who knows this child very well, issued an early warning in advance.

The light, who usually had little change in expression, now triumphantly pointed at Hoshikawa Aoi, who looked unconvinced: "Xiao Wu once told me that he was on the moon in order to bring back ...... Who's bringing it back? In short, in the battle, you used a strategy to show the enemy's weakness, and what you lost to was the bond between us! ”

"It's Hikari, and I can make use of my experience against Susanoo...... But who am I bringing back? ”

Li Wu looked at her with an appreciative expression, and it was not until Hoshikawa Aoi turned his head angrily that he straightened his face.

"Raippi! me! Cheat! ”

She waved her little fist like a protesting crowd, unable to hide her grief and indignation, "My axe is on your neck!" If it's a fight, I'll cut off your head in one fell swoop! ”

Light pressed his face with one hand, turned his head sideways and looked at the magical girl in the audience with only one eye.

There was already a sad thick barrier between them.

"Victory, then domination, that's my path."

Hikaru declares as deeply as the evil villain boss, "And the wailing of the defeated dog will only become an after-show." ”

"Where are you still brave!"

"That's it, I just want to see this look of jealousy of me!"

The villain's aura on the light body became stronger and stronger, "The brave is to humiliate the weak fiercely!" ”

"What kind of ghost animal is it that you are a brave man from another world?!"

Even Li Wu couldn't help but want to step on her brakes.

Even if it's a trick, I want to win this game, Xiao Wu, you must not understand, right?

Light briefly savored the aftermath of victory, embracing it all with open and slender arms.

Next, let Xiao Ai also be afraid of me, and let Xingchuan also be afraid of me.

"That's right, Xiao Wu......"

Come and praise me.

She looked at her childhood sweetheart and saw that he was touching the loser's head.

"Woo, ah, your Qingmei, she bullies people!"

Hoshikawa Aoi hugged her boyfriend's waist and buried her head in his arms aggrievedly and twisted.

"It's okay, it's okay, in fact, I just wanted to correct you, it's not that victory or defeat is the mother of soldiers, it's victory and defeat that is a common thing in soldiers......"

Li Wu straightened the other party's long hair like a comb and comforted.

"Everyone is so sad, you still call me stupid!"

"No, Aoi is the smartest magical girl I've ever seen."

"Really—no, you know me as a magical girl!"

"Aren't you stupid?"

……

From a straight-line distance, Rinko Hori stood right between the two of them, like a screen in a private movie theater with a pestle in front of the wicked couple's seat, playing a stiff expression on a loop.

Her face turned pale, and she almost lost her Dao heart and jumped off the stage with her opponent.

No, it shouldn't be this kind of development, it's not the same as the imaginary scenario.

There was a cold rebuttal from the bottom of my heart: You already knew what if you won ugly? Can you prove anything to whom?

It's too mean, it's too much, Hoshikawa-san.

The victory, which had been sweet just a moment ago, suddenly became empty.

She fell limp and sat lonely on the stage.

At the same time, Aoi Hoshikawa, who was lying here, suddenly disappeared in a burst of black mist, almost making her think that the curse she had secretly issued had taken effect.

But Light soon realizes that this is a signal announcing the return of the enemy.

Three pitch-black passages open on the empty stage, from which Mephistopheles, who has the same appearance, emerges.

There were three in total, one with an unquenched red flame burning on one of its wings, one with a huge piercing wound on the side ribs, and the last with a familiar sword mark on her arm.

I see, is this the combat mechanism of this seal's keeper?

The light reluctantly gathered out of Falcion again, trying to support himself to his feet.

However, the strength consumed by fighting Aoi Hoshikawa seems to have exceeded expectations, so much so that even this simple action can't be done after being discouraged for a while.

Three silver-haired girls with identical appearances gathered around, and the one who had fought with her sneered: "What a fool to exhaust your strength in the civil war, and fall to the end of being defeated by each of us—you will be the first!" ”

Quite a stupid act indeed.

Light condemned himself, wasted energy senselessly, and caused this attempt to break the second seal to fail.

If you want to rescue, you can only force yourself to break through the protective wall.

The three silver rays of light that almost coincided together pulsed and left an afterimage, bringing a strong wind that was about to touch the girl's body.

Then, a pillar of red light pierced through from below.

Like a dragon-shaped rainbow light, burning with a true red flame without a trace of variegation, a large gun that sent an unbearable burning sensation just by passing around him, like an intercontinental missile, set off a wave of white air, and collided with the enemy's sword momentum impartially.

In the roaring roar, the three figures rolled upside down and were forced to retreat.

As if to cool down the suddenly turned into a furnace, the increasingly magical stage spews out a cool white mist, like some kind of performance effect to block out the intruders on the stage.

Li Wu, dressed as a pilot, grabbed the Ascalon that had just been thrown, transformed it into a giant sword and stabbed it into the ground under his feet, and forcibly reported with shame that he realized that he could step over the stage wall without using forcible means.

"I was moved by my friend's act of picking up the stars, and I want to offer it a ladder to the sky, and now I am wearing wings and stepping on this place where faith is intertwined on the way!"

That's right, combined with the background of this pompous theater, it is very simple to reason why I was rejected by the stage in the first place.

It's not enough for secondary two! I'm not ready for a roll-call!

Speaking of which, judging from the injuries on the other two enemies, Arisa and Hoshikawa have already fought them on stage, isn't it normal...... Is it actually me?!

Li Wu thought wildly, pulled out the holy sword, and stretched out his hand with his back to his childhood sweetheart.

The girl kneeling on the ground, the boy holding the sword, as if in a drama, formed a dramatic scene, according to the ordinary people's thinking, the girl should hold the boy's hand and stand up, and start the final battle between the two.

But Rinko Hori was obviously not an ordinary person, so he didn't feel the touch of a back grip, but a sharp stinging pain.

"Hey! Don't bite! Are you of the Arica family?! ”

After staring blankly at the other party's back for a while, Light bit his finger like a small rabid dog, as if venting some kind of resentment, and he didn't let go, so that the Demon King Army cadres who were blown away by the sudden intruder looked at each other, probably thinking that the enemy was doing some ritual spell that required blood sacrifice.

Like madness and the like.

Since he couldn't get rid of his childhood sweetheart who suddenly had a bad illness for the time being, Li Wu lifted her light weight without changing his face, and raised the hideous Ascalon towards the enemy: "Even if you want to fight three or three, you need to hang the light in one hand, I, Li Wu, am invincible in the world!" ”

It's a pity that there were no other Donghua people present, so the Mephistopheles, who didn't know how to pick up the stalk, were probably annoyed, and quickly pulled out three sharp black lines in the air, and swooped down on him in the sound of the sonic boom.

And then the battle ended.

Now, after a series of adventures, for this kind of enemy, which is at most an elite monster level, if you take it seriously with all your might, the process of slaughter is really lackluster.

To summarize briefly, Li Wu opened the manifestation of the law phase, opened the dragon mode that he named, and finally changed from "only keeping the lower body clothes" to "opening the clothes for a short time without damaging the clothes".

Then the enemy went up, and then he swung his sword, and the enemy died.

Even most of the stage was completely and irreproducibly wiped out.

Fortunately, the second seal didn't have any problems, and he had already seen two familiar items fall from the powdered enemy, and he quickly snatched them.

"But...... Light, when will you let go? ”

Standing on the stage part, which was still intact, Li Wu shook her left hand, she finally let go, and the duck sat on the ground and looked up at him.

"Why, Xiao Wu didn't go on stage to stop us before?"

Surprisingly, Hikari seriously raised the question.
