Hope was in sight.
“Whoosh!!”
“Captain!! You’re receiving cheers!!”
“Thank you! Kyoko!”
Kaboom!!
The green-haired girl unleashed her fist, filled with power, swirling her silver armor.
One punch spread out to a hundred meters, smashing everything in its path.
“■■■■!!”
From afar, the faith idol, Artemis, aiming her arrow and gathering immense power, hurriedly dodged the green fist infused with strength.
Whoosh――
The goddess, shining with her giant reddish-brown bow, rapidly moved to find her next firing point, glowing like moonlight.
“Where are you fleeing!!”
“Get caught peacefully!!”
Rumble――
The green giant, boosted by the cheer from the orange flag, jumped farther, extending a thousand arms forward.
“Arahan Divine Fist!!”
A thousand fists launched simultaneously in line with Ichika’s thrust.
An overwhelming sight of a massive green fist aiming in unison at the reddish-brown goddess.
It looked like a giant green rainbow ascending into the sky.
Kaboom!!
Artemis, dodging between the countless fists, was eventually struck by a few.
Every time a fist, easily the size of several meters, hit the fragile body of Artemis, the air resonated, creating a fierce wind.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Amidst the onslaught of fists, every hit sounded like dynamite exploding, taking down Artemis, who had threatened Ichika with her giant light arrows.
“Not yet!! I can’t waste this!!”
Ichika twisted her body, controlling the green giant with a shout.
Roar!!
Hundreds of missed fists that couldn’t hit Artemis, under Ichika’s guidance, flew off in arcs toward nearby idols.
Whoosh――
“All that’s left…! You eat it!!”
“■■■■■■!!!”
Kaboom!!
A massive green fiststorm crashed down on Apollo and Ares, who had just been struggling to chase the yellow comet.
They were startled by the sudden blow but were caught by the yellow galaxy extending from the yellow comet, facing the green storm head-on.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
In the storm of unending destruction, Apollo and Ares slowly fell.
The two giant idols crumbled unsightly toward the distant ground.
The three idols, who had relentlessly pressured Ichika and Kyoko until just now, were swiftly taken down.
“Nice!!! Little Sato!!”
“Sato!! You did great!!”
Kyoko and Ichika gave a thumbs up toward the thousands of yellow shooting stars that dazzled the red sky.
“Yup! Thanks for helping, Ichika! Kyoko!”
Hana, adorned in brilliant yellow flashes, slowed down for a moment and casually raised a thumb while resting her hand on her waist.
I felt my heart race at that sight.
‘Ichika! Kyoko! Hana!’
And another girl came to help me by my side.
“This time, we will definitely win!!”
“…….”
The clash of red and reddish-brown flames.
Though they obviously had powers beyond comparison, Yuki’s desperation, who had glimpsed the end of the world, helped the fight continue.
Zoom!!
Whoosh!!
“Ugh…!”
I dashed into the flaming wall, slowly being pushed back, extending my silver scythe to charge forward.
I locked eyes with Animus, who expressionlessly unleashed reddish-brown flames beyond the massive wall of fire.
“…….”
The magical girl of [Conquest] summoned idols imbued with divinity whenever a gap appeared in the battlefield, and Hana and I found ourselves in a tough continuing battle with up to four idols.
-Hikari!!
-Leader!!
-Leader!!
Victory cheers echoed, welcoming our joining allies.
My friends.
My precious ones.
With their joining, we finally continued a battle on equal footing.
All the stones smashed.
The black lion monsters were slowly disappearing.
In my heart, the flame of hope blazed brilliantly.
“Animus!!!”
“…[Deception].”
Whoosh――!
I relentlessly slashed with the scythe, leaving a massive silver afterimage, fueled by burning hope.
I swung it with such intensity that it seemed ready to cover my field of view with silver afterimages.
Even if there was a wall of hundreds of meters, I channeled the force to slice through, drawing closer.
Swish―!
Slash―!
An unending combo ensued.
An endless charge.
The will embedded in the fully spread silver afterimage was unwavering; I charged at the reddish-brown girl with the titles of [War] and [Conquest] to cut her down.
“Hikari!”
“Hikari-chan!”
Hana and Yuki approached.
Yellow stars and red flames blazed, reaching out for a helping hand amid my silver combo.
The arrows of flame were shot.
The yellow shooting stars rained down.
Yellow
Red
Silver
All colors tangled up and shot forth toward the strongest apostle on the battlefield.
Fwoosh!
Whoosh―
The reddish-brown mantle-waving Animus stopped dodging and remained still in midair.
Perhaps deciding she couldn’t dodge all the incoming attacks, she held her ground.
Spot!
Kaboom!
In her first close battle, Animus extended her reddish-brown great sword and spun like a windmill, cutting down the incoming strikes.
For the first time after minutes into this battle, Animus was unable to change her attack trajectory in a melee situation.
I didn’t miss that opening.
“Ha…”
“Ha!!”
I slipped through the revolving path of the reddish-brown great sword and thrust my silver scythe.
The reverse causality I achieved by pouring all my starlight into it.
Endless faith sent by those who believe I am the goddess’s descendant.
Endless hope given by those who see me as the first magical girl.
The respect shown by the girls who think I’m their leader.
Endless starlight.
To deceive this world filled with the goddess’s curse, I poured it all in.
“Ha!!”
Among countless possibilities, I found one I absolutely could not miss.
Miracle
Victory
<With my silver scythe, Animus’s reddish-brown great sword is severed.>
Spot――!
In the clash of the silver scythe and reddish-brown sword’s remnants, Animus and I locked eyes. It was the long-awaited moment, so I unleashed the starlight I’d collected in the balance beforehand.
Roar!!
Pouring out blessings.
And I threw away my silver scythe to withdraw my silver sword.
In a moment so fleeting one could hardly blink.
To create our story.
I thrust my silver sword forward.
“I will win!!!”
“Ugh!”
Clang!!!
The clash of the remnants of the reddish-brown great sword and silver sword.
But Animus could no longer respond with a composed attitude.
“Uwaaaaa!!!”
“Ha!!”
For the first time, our true showdown began.
Clang!!!
“Haah!!!”
Vibrant starlight erupted like an explosion and scattered endlessly behind me.
Likewise, reddish-brown flames exploded and scattered endlessly behind Animus.
Like butterflies with different colored wings.
We faced each other, scattering massive starlight.
Creak
Creak
Crunch
Our two unique armaments cracked.
I seized the momentum to thrust my sword deeper into her heart.
Animus’s reddish-brown eyes gleamed as she screamed.
“Open the Hall of War!!!”
“I can’t let you do that!!!”
Roar――
From afar, the long-closed heavenly palace opened, unleashing countless soldiers.
The idols I’d previously defeated resurrected and charged toward us.
Ares
Athena
Apollo
Artemis
Countless reddish-brown soldiers
“■■■■■■!!”
“■■■■■■!!”
“■■■■■■!!”
But they couldn’t interfere in the battle between Animus and me.
Just as Animus summoned idols and soldiers, there were allies who had come this far with us.
“Hikari-chan!! Don’t worry and fight!!”
“Hikari!! Let’s win!!”
“Leader!! I’ll deal with this side!!”
“Uwaaaa!! Everyone, let’s do our best!!”
I heard all those cheering voices and let out a battle cry.
“We will win!!”
Crunch
My and Animus’s swords shattered completely.
We discarded our swords.
Boom
Taking a step forward.
Fwoosh!
My entire body ablaze with starlight.
Whoosh!
I unleashed my fists, infused with vibrant starlight and reddish-brown flames.
“I will win!!!”
“Haah!!!”
The two fists brushed in mid-air, both heading towards each other’s faces.
The two magical girls awakening to save humanity advance, each carrying their beliefs.
Believing their paths are just as they forge ahead.
Beliefs
Determination
Resolution
Final battle
Duel
All rushed through my mind,
What resounded in my heart was a massive wave.
Kaboom――!!
