Domain... Expansion!
"No, it shouldn't be that easy."
"Our combined attack just now barely broke through its defenses; its Curse Power far surpasses ours..."
"Even so, being hit by this attack won't be pleasant."
The other girls, who were more experienced, made their own judgments.
And that is indeed the case.
"Thud."
In the smoke, the Bandage Monster pushed away the stone pressing down on him, his body smelling burnt and emitting thick black smoke.
It took the blow head-on, especially since it was a Yang-attribute attack like lightning; even it was seriously injured.
Having memories of its past life, it could easily determine that continuing the fight would offer little chance of victory.
Logically, it should have fled.
Anyway, the world is vast, and even if we lose the Cursed Human we've created during this time, we can make up for it later.
Thinking this, it hesitated for a moment, then prepared to escape from the other side.
"Trying to run away? Even monsters are afraid."
Just then, Yotsuya Miko, who had returned to the battlefield, came back through the back door of the convenience store and launched a surprise attack.
She released her cursed spirit, [Teru Teru Bozu], which floated in the air. The smiling white paper doll instantly transformed into a chilling mockery when it locked onto an enemy.
Hehehe...
"Um?"
The Bandage Monster felt a strange, unsettling force land on him, and immediately his body showed signs of poisoning, his flesh covered by bandages turning purple.
At the same time, a shockwave struck him.
Its body was affected, so it was naturally a step slower and was knocked away.
However, it was still unharmed, and changed its posture in mid-air, crouching down.
"Do you really want to fight me to the death?"
The Bandage Monster was both anxious and furious.
This desperate struggle aroused its malevolent nature, which was that of a demon.
"Careful!"
Beside her, Nibuya Morika offered a reminder.
Everyone else nodded solemnly.
At this moment, the Bandage Monster dared not hold back any longer and released Curse Power he had accumulated with all his might. It surged out like a raging tide, instantly dispelling the voodoo curse on his body.
"Ju-on fireworks".
It cast a spell, transforming the Curse Power into flames that shot into the sky, creating an explosion that turned into tiny sparks that fell in all directions, and continued to do so.
"Don't touch this fire!"
The girls instantly reached a consensus, for they saw visible curse power emanating from the flames—deep black, ominous, as if it came from the abyss.
The girls retreated, but the density of the fireworks was too great to avoid completely, so they could only release their spiritual energy as a defense.
However, the Curse Power is quite dangerous; it seems capable of eroding their spiritual power, and defending against it will only exacerbate their energy depletion.
The two from the Chiba branch are still at Rank 1, and although their experience bars are different, their experience is quite limited in such a battle.
Although the members of the Tokyo headquarters are all of Rank 2, they won't be able to hold out for long if this continues.
Because the opponent's power reserves far exceed those of others of the same level.
"I will protect everyone."
Yotsuya Miko stepped forward and, together with the Teru Teru Bozu, used similar magical powers to counteract each other.
At this point, the others could free up their hands and focus on attacking without needing to defend.
Another series of attacks followed, Bandage Monster, attempting to defend with one hand, was naturally forced to retreat.
However, it remains very resilient and can occasionally evade attacks, making it difficult to defeat in a short time.
The two sides fought fiercely for some time.
The Bandage Monster's aura had noticeably weakened.
On the Far East Magic Society's side, the members of the Tokyo headquarters were still quite imposing, but the two members of the Chiba branch were already showing signs of exhaustion, panting heavily and covered in sweat.
"You should go and rest first."
"Leave the rest to us."
Takanashi Rikka and Nibuya Morika turned around and asked the two of them with concern.
"Um."
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded to Gokou Ruri and tactfully stepped back.
If this continues, they won't be helping, they'll be hindering us.
Yukinoshita Yukino sat on the bench, beads of sweat sliding down her chin. She gradually caught her breath, secretly glancing at the Demon Rabbit next to her, her eyes darting back and forth several times.
"Senior, are you there?"
On the other side, Gokou Ruri spoke up directly.
"I am here."
Hasegawa Izumi responded.
Can we win?
"Given the current situation, we should be able to win."
"What do you mean by 'can win'... it means it's not absolute, right?"
"Judging from its appearance, it must have some hidden tricks up its sleeve."
Gokou Ruri frowned.
"We have no choice but to trust others."
Yukinoshita Yukino seized an opportunity to interject.
"Hasegawa, how do you think I performed?"
She had the feeling of a child waiting to be praised.
"You did a good job."
Hasegawa Izumi praised it.
[As a newly Awakened One being.]
He added in his mind.
Upon hearing the first sentence, Yukinoshita smiled with satisfaction.
To become stronger, she even dived underwater in winter to feel the cold with her body...
With this recognition, she felt it was all worthwhile.
Looking at the battle inside the arena, it had already reached a fever pitch.
The girls completely dominated the game.
Faced with the overwhelming elemental attacks and the ever-ready iron fists, the Bandage Monster has no choice but to dodge and defend.
After being punched away by the Platinum Queen, it struggled to its feet, but then burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha... Your offensive ends here!"
"The reinforcements I've been waiting for have arrived."
"Now it's my turn to gang up on the weak!"
At that moment, a group of mutated mummies burst in from outside the street.
Knowing he couldn't escape, the Bandage Monster gave the order to summon all the Cursed Human.
Only now, when it was almost at its wit's end, did it reveal this trump card, intending to decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
With their magical power burning, the mummies' speed suddenly increased dramatically compared to their usual slow pace, posing a significant threat to the girls whose strength had diminished considerably.
"I knew you had something up your sleeve."
"But you're not the only one who has a trump card!"
Takanashi Rikka stepped forward amidst the surprised gazes of the others.
"Master?"
"Rikka?"
Does she still have the strength?
They remained calm because they had the "stabilizing force" behind them, but what they didn't expect was that the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King User seemed eager to show off his skills.
That's the feeling!
Takanashi Rikka felt a great sense of satisfaction as she sensed the different gazes of her allies and enemies. Amidst the surging emotions, the Two-Tomoe Sharingan in her eyes slowly rotated, upgrading to the Three-Tomoe form.
"A true strong person is one who saves everything in the most difficult times."
"So..."
"Backup Hidden Energy Source... Activate!"
With a thought, she channeled spiritual energy behind her, activating the array once carved by the Sage.
The next second, the Magic Lock spun, and Magic Circle appeared behind her and flew to the top of her head.
Then, a surge of spiritual energy continuously poured into her body from between heaven and earth, causing her entire body to shine with an unstoppable spiritual light.
"I'm so strong now!"
Takanashi Rikka felt the surge of spiritual power within her body, a look of fascination appeared in her eyes.
"Hold head high..."
At this moment, the numerous Cursed Human regarded her as the primary threat and all rushed towards her.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
She quickly formed hand seals, instantly creating dozens of physical clones to fight him one-on-one.
With each punch and kick, those who stood in their way were routed, and soon many mummies lay on the ground, unable to rise.
"What?"
The Bandage Monster found it hard to believe that the girl's current strength was comparable to his own at his peak.
No, that's not right...
Despite using such a terrifying move, the girl's aura remained at its peak, showing no signs of faltering.
If this situation continues, it will likely be completely outmatched even in a one-on-one situation.
"You're next!"
Takanashi Rikka and her many clones turned their heads at the same time and said the same thing in unison.
"Not good!"
The Bandage Monster felt a chill run down his spine, already sensing the impending danger of death.
"I should be able to do it now..."
Takanashi Rikka felt the continuous flow of spiritual energy within her body, the hand seals for various ninjutsu techniques surfaced in her mind.
