Chapter 109 : The Story I Started

[Confirmed defeat of Guardian Agamemnon!!]

[Confirmed destruction of the fifth obelisk!!]

[Guardian Odysseus defeat complete!]

[Confirmed destruction of the third obelisk!!]

[Guardian Hector defeat complete!!]

[Confirmed destruction of all obelisks!!]

[Walpurgis team advancing while clearing demons in the city center!]

Hope was in sight.

“Oraaah!!”

“Captain!! You’re getting cheers!”

“Thank you! Kyoko!”

Baaaaaaang!!

The force contained in the punch thrown by the green-haired girl as she swung her silver light armor.

A single punch spread out to a hundred meters away, shattering everything in front.

“■■■■!!”

Far away, Artemis, the idol of faith who was gathering huge power while aiming an arrow, hurriedly dodged the punch filled with green force.

Swoosh―

The goddess shining her reddish-brown bow larger than her body moved quickly like moonlight, looking for the next firing position.

“Where are you dodging!!”

“Be obedient and get caught!”

Woong―

Receiving the energy of cheers spreading from the orange flag, the green giant who could now move further leapt and stretched a thousand arms forward.

“Arhat God Fist!!”

A thousand fists were simultaneously fired forward to match Ichika’s extended fist.

The sight of a thousand huge green fists simultaneously extending towards the reddish-brown goddess.

It was an overwhelming sight like a huge green rainbow appearing in the sky.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom—!!

Artemis, who had been dodging in and out between the countless extended fists, was finally hit by a few of the thousand fists.

Every time a fist that must have been tens of meters in size struck Artemis’s slender body, the air rang and caused fierce winds.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Artemis, who was shot down with a sound like dynamite exploding at every hit spot between the barrage of fists. The enemy who had threatened Ichika by firing huge arrows of light fell.

“Not yet!! It’s a waste to stop here!!”

Ichika shouted while twisting her whole body to control the green giant.

Guooooo!!!

Hundreds of fists that had missed Artemis were guided by Ichika to draw large trajectories and shoot out again towards the idols nearby.

Goooo―

“The rest of you…! Eat this!!”

“■■■■■■!!!”

Kwaaaaa!!

A storm of huge green fists descended upon Apollo and Ares, who had been struggling to continue their charge while chasing the yellow meteor.

Though they were caught off guard by the sudden massive strike, Apollo and Ares were caught by the yellow Milky Way extending from the yellow meteor and took the green storm head-on.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Apollo and Ares were slowly falling in the endless storm of destruction.

The two huge idols were falling miserably to the distant ground.

The three idols that had been endlessly driving Ichika and Kyoko back until just now were cleared in one fell swoop by the joint attack.

“Nice!!! Sato kiddo!!”

“Sato!! Well done!”

Kyoko and Ichika gave a thumbs up towards the thousands of yellow meteors dazzlingly embroidering the red sky.

“Yeah! Thanks for the help! Ichika! Kyoko!”

Hana, who had been racing through the sky like a meteor surrounded by dazzling yellow flashes, briefly decelerated and gave a thumbs up with one hand on her hip.

My heart pounded as I watched that scene.

‘Ichika! Kyoko! Hana!’

And another girl who came to help by my side.

“This time we’ll definitely win!!”

“…”

Red and reddish-brown flames clashing.

Though the two clearly had incomparable powers.

Yuki’s desperation, having glimpsed the destruction of this world, helped make the fight possible.

Clang!!

Whoosh!!

“Ugh…!”

I leapt through Yuki’s flame barrier that was slowly being pushed back and charged with my silver scythe extended.

I met eyes with Animus, who was expressionlessly spewing reddish-brown flames beyond the huge burning wall of flames.

“…”

The magical girl of [Conquest] summoned idols containing divinity whenever gaps appeared in the battle, and Hana and I were continuing a difficult fight with the idols that had now grown to four.

-Hikari!!

-Leader!!

-Leader!!

Comrades joining with news of victory heard amidst the battle.

My friends.

Precious ones.

With their joining, we were finally able to continue a completely equal fight.

All obelisks destroyed.

Black lion demons gradually disappeared.

The flame of hope burned brilliantly in my heart.

“Animus!!!”

“…[Deception].”

Swish―!

I endlessly slashed with the rotational force of the scythe leaving huge silver afterimages as large as the burning hope.

I swung with enough force to completely cover the view with silver afterimages.

With enough force to cut through and approach even if there was a wall hundreds of meters high.

Swoosh―!

Shak―!

Endless combo attacks.

Endless charges.

The will contained in the silver afterimages completely spread out in a fan shape was firm, charging to cut down the reddish-brown girl with the alias of [War] and [Conquest] along with infinite starlight.

“Hikari!”

“Hikari-chan!”

Hana and Yuki approaching.

Yellow meteors and red flames blazed as they extended helping hands through my silver combo attacks.

Flaming arrows being fired.

Yellow meteors pouring down.

Yellow

Red

Silver

All colors intertwined and shot towards the strongest apostle who had dominated the battlefield.

Flash!

Whoosh―

Animus, who had been fluttering her reddish-brown cape, stopped dodging and halted in midair.

Perhaps judging she couldn’t avoid all the attacks rushing towards her.

Spot!

Boooom!

For the first time in close combat, Animus extended her reddish-brown great sword and slashed while spinning it like a windmill.

For the first time since starting this fight dozens of minutes ago, Animus was in a state where she couldn’t change her attack trajectory in close combat.

I didn’t miss that opening.

“Hah…”

“Haah!!”

I dodged between the trajectory of the reddish-brown great sword swinging like a windmill and swung my silver scythe.

Cause and effect reversal achieved by pouring out all starlight.

Endless faith sent by those who believe me to be the successor of the goddess.

Endless wishes sent by those who think of me as the first magical girl.

Respect sent by girls who think of me as their leader.

Infinite starlight.

I swung containing all of that to deceive the world filled with the goddesses’ curses.

“Haaaah!!”

A possibility that couldn’t be found among countless existing possibilities.

Miracle

Victory

<Animus’s reddish-brown great sword is cut by my silver scythe.>

Spot―!

My eyes met Animus’s through the debris of the intersecting silver scythe and reddish-brown great sword. Because it was the moment I had longed for so much, I exploded the starlight I had gathered on the scales through the gap that stretched like eternity.

Gooooo!!

Pouring blessings.

And I discard the silver scythe to draw and swing a silver sword.

A moment so brief it’s hard to even blink.

To create our story.

I swung the silver sword.

“I’ll win!!!”

“Hup!”

Baaaaang!!!

The debris of the reddish-brown great sword and silver sword colliding.

But Animus could no longer parry with a relaxed attitude.

“Uwaaaaaa!!!”

“Haaaah!!”

The first true test of strength between her and me.

Baaang!!!

“Huaaaaaaaa!!!”

“Haaaaah!!!”

Colorful starlight poured out explosively, endlessly scattering behind me.

Likewise, reddish-brown flames poured out explosively, endlessly scattering behind Animus.

Like a butterfly with different colored wings on each side.

We faced each other while scattering huge starlight.

Crack

Crackle

Crunch

Our two unique weapons cracking.

I rode that momentum to push my sword further towards her chest.

Animus flashed her reddish-brown eyes and shouted.

“Open, Hall of War!!!”

“I can’t allow that!!!”

Guuung―

Far away, the sky palace that hadn’t opened until now opened and countless soldiers poured out.

The idols we had defeated until now revived and charged towards us.

Ares

Athena

Apollo

Artemis

Countless reddish-brown soldiers

“■■■■■■!!”

“■■■■■■!!”

“■■■■■■!!”

But they couldn’t interfere in the fight between Animus and me.

Because just as Animus brought out idols and soldiers, there were comrades who had followed me this far.

“Hikari-chan!! Don’t worry and fight!!”

“Hikari!! Let’s win!!”

“Leader!! I’ll take care of this side!!”

“Uwaaaa!! Everyone do your best!”

I shouted with fighting spirit while hearing all the cheers.

“I’ll wiiiin!!”

Crunch

My and Animus’s swords completely shattered.

Animus and I discarded our swords.

Thud

A step forward.

Flash!

Whole body burning with starlight.

Swoosh!

Fists swung containing colorful starlight and reddish-brown starlight.

“I’ll wiiiiin!!!”

“Haaaaaaah!!!”

Two fists pass by each other in the air and advance towards each other’s faces.

Two magical girls who rose to save humanity advance holding their respective beliefs.

They advance believing their own paths are right.

Belief

Resolution

Determination

Final battle

Duel

Everything flashes through my mind

And what resounds in my heart is a huge wave.

Boooooooom―!!
