Reincarnated as the Narrow-Eyed Character in a Magical Girl Battle Story

“…….”

“…….”

On the crimson sky, we face each other.

I silently brandished my silver sword, and she, without a word, drew her reddish-brown great sword.

All words were exchanged in our contract that day.

Now, only proof remains.

I will definitely win.

[Deception] Magical Girl Unique Skill

Inverse Causality

The first swing of my sword was light, then gradually dazzling.

The path of the sword rose higher like the conductor of an orchestra of destruction.

Drawing with the tip of the sword was the thread of annihilation.

Shasha-shat――

A silver thread

The sword strikes I shot toward Animus had become thin silver threads embellishing the air with a chilling sound.

The traces that should have vanished in a moment defied the laws and remained in reality, leaving sharp scars.

Shasha-shat――

From the silver thread

to the silver line

from the silver line

to the silver wave

To swallow the strongest foe standing before me, the silver wave expanded hundreds of meters, producing an increasingly higher and sharper sound while charging to engulf all space ahead.

Tsutsutsutsut!

The space of hundreds of meters between Animus and me was filled with the tidal wave of silver blades that crushed everything.

Tsutsutsutsut!

The massive silver wave, which should have lost its way and spread out into the empty air, surged toward a singular point.

The silver wave filling the hundreds of meters ahead.

An endless tide of destruction.

Even in the face of the wave of destruction that seemed like mercury poured into a giant flask, Animus only gripped her great sword expressionlessly.

‘…She isn’t even trying to dodge.’

I poured nearly infinite starlight from the glass star, enough to splash the very fabric of Animus.
If she were the Magical Girl of War I knew, she wouldn’t be frozen in fear or confusion.

To confirm the flicker of power she would show with four stars floating behind her, I continued to unleash starlight, forming a massive wave of destruction for my attack.

So much that the sword’s energy was swept away by the sword’s energy.

Countless massive roots, enough to split dozens of meters in radius, twisted together to look like a gigantic silver rope.

Tsutsutsutsut!!

It resembled thousands of giant silver serpents intertwined, charging with mouths open.
Animus watched that expressionlessly before casually swinging her great reddish-brown sword horizontally.

Suuuuut―
Though it began slowly as if it were at rest, the conclusion swept through without leaving an afterimage, so fast.

――!

So quickly swung that the sound couldn’t catch up, the sword tip gleamed crimson, and that crimson gleam soon glowed white with a flash.

Pow!
Into the dazzling flash flooding my sight, the silver wave surged forth.

The clash of the two immense forces.

Kwaaaang!!!
An ear-splitting explosion.
The silver waves infused with the force of destruction faded one by one before the crimson flash.

Shak
Shak
Shak
In the explosion filled with flashes, thousands of giant silver blades unraveled in the crimson flash like rotting ropes. The silver blades stretching hundreds of meters disintegrated instantly, leaving only the wind from the explosion.

As that wind brushed against my cheek, the scale of greed was already complete.

Creeek!
The scale of greed tilted, making a high-pitched sound as it began to absorb the surrounding starlight, now filled with crimson flash.

Restored vision

[Deception] Magical Girl Unique Skill
Dream World
Cognition Acceleration

I utilized cognition acceleration to momentarily increase Animus’s cognition speed. But despite the extreme speed, Animus was still moving her eyes in sync with my movements.

Her destiny to unleash every ability in battle.

“It’s useless…”

Animus spoke slowly, as if her cognition acceleration was completely blocked.

“No! I can feel your intentions!”

“Then… you know.”

Animus, as she said, was not the slightest bit flustered.

Cold sweat poured down my back as I watched her.

‘Crap! The inverse causality is getting blocked more and more…?! Is this her fourth-star ability?’
To somehow increase the possibility of victory rapidly diminishing in the inverse causality set earlier,

I used every possible tactic available.
If even a bit of possibility arises, the inverse causality will return.

Dream World

Cognition Acceleration

Inverse Causality

Cognition Change

Illusions sprang forth to obstruct Animus’s view,

Hallucinations arose to invade Animus’s cognition.

Cling! Clang! Clang! Clang!
From scythe to sword and then back to scythe.
The vast scythe drawing a pitiful silver crescent moon was instantly sucked into the flames of the reddish-brown great sword, while the wave of destruction drawn by the silver sword vanished hopelessly into the rifts of torn space.

Endless consecutive strikes

Endless collisions

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as the attack began, our strikes shot toward where they could connect.
The endless melee combat, like something out of a Hollywood movie, unfolded thanks to the monstrous reaction speed of each other realizing attacks simultaneously.

But the balance began to crumble.
After the two weapons clashed, a massive explosion rang, and my unique weapon was shattered.

‘Animus’s great sword is intact!’
I couldn’t stop the massive reddish-brown wave rushing toward me with a split weapon.

Clang!
As my unique weapon endlessly shattered and split, I unhesitatingly discarded it and retrieved it anew from the starlight.

And the continuous strikes resumed.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Animus calmly shattered each of my attacks with precise sword strikes.
We precariously maintained balance, repeating the process of shatter and regeneration.

I had what felt like infinite starlight, and she had the fourth star, filled with unknown power.

In the clash that seemed endless, a momentary gap appeared.
Animus didn’t miss it, widening the distance and swinging her great sword widely.

A massive reddish-brown wave, like an army of hundreds.
The destructive sword strikes showcased by a true warlord.

Kwaaaang!
Kagakakakak!
The moment she raised her great sword, I instinctively pulled out my illusory barrier to defend.
The massive reddish-brown wave surged toward me.

The vast wave shook the barrier hard, and the shockwave that I couldn’t absorb overwhelmed me.

Kagakakakak!
In the midst of the massive shock from the reddish-brown wave gnawing at the barrier, I bit down hard to endure it. My outstretched hand holding the barrier trembled from the impact, and the sensation slowly faded away.

“Ugh…!”
I barely blocked the reddish-brown flames from Animus’s great sword through the barrier, but the shock was about to turn my insides inside out.

“Ugh?!”
“It’s over.”
At that moment of hesitation, Animus aimed to strike down on my neck.
As soon as I noticed that, I snapped my fingers with my left hand to summon my clones.

Vuuuuuuuuum!
Crash!
The two clones that appeared to save my cornered body were easily sliced by the scythe they drew. But in that brief window, I widened the distance and activated the Dream World.

Endlessly deploying massive prisms and illusions to obstruct Animus’s view, my possibilities in inverse causality revived.

[Animus allows for an attack in the confusion.]

Clang!!
With acrobatic movements, Animus raised her great sword to block the silver scythe I unleashed with all my might.

“If I can’t dodge the attack, I should just block it.”
“Damn! Who doesn’t know that?”
Again widening the distance, I shot thousands of rainbow-colored arrows with my silver bow to restrict Animus, while she casually spun her reddish-brown great sword like a windmill to block them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every time an arrow was deflected, buildings exploded, sending shockwaves.

Kwaaaang!
Rumbles!
The area of several kilometers where Animus and I fought became a complete wasteland.

Thick smoke

Burning reddish-brown flames

Crimson sky

And the cries of hundreds of monsters bursting from the aftereffects of the battle.

“■■■■■!!!”
In the midst of it all, we fought fiercely.
The explosions created from the entangled silver and reddish-brown formed sparkling masses that gradually filled several hundred meters radius.

Surrounding several hundred meters was covered in flashes, leaving behind only rough traces like hasty strokes of a pencil.

Amid that, dozens of sword strikes intertwined chaotically.
I deflected them all, sometimes using the scythe and arrows to counter Animus’s attacks.

At the tip of the brandished scythe glimmered the silver crescent moon.
The silver mesh created by the hundreds of arrows shot forth.
Switching weapons the way ancient gladiators did.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
And then again, it transformed into a tumultuous silver wave advancing with attacks.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
In the noise that resembled hundreds of blacksmiths hammering metal, Animus and I wildly swung our swords.

As we swung our weapons, we responded instantly to block or deflect the attacks.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
With every clash of swords, shockwaves reverberated outward for hundreds of meters.
As the silver and reddish-brown paths exploded, every glass window in buildings several kilometers away shattered.

The form of destruction.
Animus and I aimed to topple each other by projecting all the starlight in the midst of the battlefield where five guardians and magical girls fought.

Kwaaaang!!!
Yet again, an explosion occurred.
But I was pushed back from it.

The distance between me and Animus grew once more.
Beyond the gap, her crimson eyes quietly watched me.

“Cough…”
“…….”

[Conquest] Magical Girl Unique Skill
Divine Manifestation
Sacredness of War

“Come forth. O Divine Essence of Humanity, born of war’s faith.”
“A second alias…”
The four colossal stars behind Animus resonated and emitted a reddish-brown glow.

From behind the reddish-brown glow, a huge force gradually took shape, filling the distance between us and encircling us like a coliseum barrier.

As that sacred light radiated, Animus called out.
“Ares.”
“Ugh…?!”
A rift hundreds of meters wide opened behind Animus, and from it emerged a massive figure wielding a spear and glowing eyes from under a helmet, accompanied by immense pressure.

Divinity

Faith

Idol

With the body of a mere human magical girl, she summoned the object of belief.

Rumble
With sounds of thunder cutting through the reddish-brown storm, lights flashed, rending the crimson sky.

Once, humanity’s fervent wish arose through war.
Once, humanity felt faith through war.

The manifestation of this all, the idol of the god, possessed powers incomparable to the guardians defending the monument.

Doom―
Doom―
Doom―
The sound of war drums grew louder from the distant palace beyond the sky Animus turned her back to.

“I go forth, with the maximum power granted by the will of the stars.”
“…….”
As Animus pointed her great sword at me, the goddess Ares’s unveiled idol aimed its spear, towering over ten meters.

I tried to gather the boundless starlight to block it.
