The Battle Was Already Over the Moment Our Eyes Met.

"For the Lord Sage to utter such words, the so-called 'apocalypse' must be an extremely terrifying death."

Even Dekomori Sanae couldn't maintain her carefree smile at this moment; a hint of worry appeared on her face.

"We really should prepare ourselves and strive to become stronger before the apocalypse arrives, not only to protect ourselves, but also to protect our important families."

Nibuya Morika solemnly reminded everyone.

The two of them nodded, completely agreeing with this view.

Having experienced numerous battles, they knew best that in those events, ordinary people were always powerless and extremely vulnerable.

"Greedy Witch, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Could it be that he's scared, Death?"

"It's the end of the world, and you can't escape it even if you want to."

The three of them looked at the same person at the same time.

"Since the Club President has said so, of course I choose to believe that he can solve everything."

"Unlike you, I have complete trust in the Club President."

Natsukawa Masuzu rested her chin on her hand, watching the people passing by outside the window, a faint smile on her lips.

"That's called being prepared!"

"How ridiculous that Witch would say such a thing! Death!"

"I don't want to be told that by someone like you who interfered halfway through."

The three girls slammed their fists on the table in anger and stood up.

The Witch's smile naturally became even brighter.

On my way home.

"Seriously, I just don't understand that guy at all..."

Takanashi Rikka recalled each time she was humiliated and provoked, and felt quite resentful.

Despite having been through numerous battles, he could never gain the upper hand in a verbal exchange with that guy...

Why is that?

"Um..."

The girl closed her eyes, turned corner after corner, and pondered for a long time.

"As expected, it's because I'm not as shameless as her!"

She opened her eyes, finally came to an answer, and nodded in deep agreement.

That's it!

Thinking of this, Takanashi Rikka felt inexplicably at ease, and her steps became lighter.

What kind of dishes will the Holy Chef serve today?

As she approached the apartment building, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Since she can no longer go to eat there every day, her sister's rapidly improving cooking skills have become her greatest comfort.

She believed that with her sister's special cooking, she would be able to advance to the next level faster than others this time.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Takanashi Rikka's expression changed, and she turned to look at the tall buildings in the distance.

Even with her current visual abilities, she could only see a tiny black dot.

Even so, she could sense that someone was watching her, and a very strong gaze was directed at her from there.

"Didn't avoid being seen? Is this a provocation?"

Although she couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, she could sense the emotion.

An idea struck her, and she took out her phone, dialing her sister's number as she ran towards the location.

"Sister, I have something to take care of first, so I might be back a little late tonight."

"I understand. Be careful and don't go too far."

Jukka was already used to this kind of life, so she didn't ask any further questions, just gave a few instructions, and then hung up the phone.

After putting her phone back in her pocket, Takanashi Rikka sped off, crossing the sidewalk, entering a tall building, and finally arriving at the rooftop.

"Left?"

She pushed open the door, entered the rooftop, and suspiciously scanned her surroundings before finally noticing a line of words written on the ground—

[Though I apologize for the intrusion, it's rare to encounter a skilled opponent like you, and I'm itching for a match. So, if you're interested, you can come here... to challenge me!]

She naturally accepted the invitation.

"However, it is you who challenge me!"

Takanashi Rikka smiled confidently and headed towards that place.

The pale moon hanging in the vast sky casts its colors, illuminating this abandoned little park in the nearby suburbs.

"Come out!"

Takanashi Rikka leaped into the overgrown path and then shouted.

"Eek~ Haha... You dare to follow me..."

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Just then, a figure ran quickly from the wall, then leaped high, spun and flipped gracefully, landing steadily on top of the slide, and spoke from a superior vantage point.

"I am Sophia Ning SP Saturn VII, the famous Magical Demon King Girl Sophia that's all the rage in the streets and alleys! My nickname is [The Girl Who Manages the Seven Holy Lands of the Demon King's Magic], remember that well!"

The battle in Chapter 2 was over the moment they locked eyes.

Takanashi Rikka gazed intently at the mysterious figure who had finally revealed his true form.

This is an energetic and adorable girl with a small heart sticker at the corner of her eye. Her pink hair is tied into a double loop, and she is wearing a red and white dress with a belt around her waist, paired with a leather belt, over-the-knee socks, and platform ankle boots. She also has a long scarf that almost reaches the ground around her neck.

"I am the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King User, Takanashi Rikka."

She responded expressionlessly, adopting a combat-ready stance.

"Since you've given your real name, as a courtesy, I'll tell you mine too! My real name is Nanamiya Chion, but I prefer to be called 'Sophia'."

The cute girl's eyes sparkled with a mischievous and lively light, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, carrying a hint of confidence and arrogance, as she pointed her magic wand at us.

"Alright, Sophia, tell me, what brings you here?"

Takanashi Rikka questioned the other party.

"Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King, haven't I already said it? When you see someone powerful, you want to go up and fight them... Can't you understand that feeling?"

"I see... then I'll go easy on you."

"How disrespectful! I admit you're qualified to be my opponent, but..."

"Could you please not waste my time? Although it will be over soon, I'd like to go home early to eat Holy Chef's cooking."

"Oh..."

Nanamiya Chion wand with a fierce fighting spirit.

"Then let's begin, let's start the war!"

"Interesting! Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King, activate!"

Takanashi Rikka, seeing an opportunity, was overjoyed. She lifted the blindfold from her right eye, and in the instant her eye closed and opened, a blood-red Three-Tomoe appeared in her eye.

In those few words, both sides realized something important—

They are the same kind.

And so, both sides began a rare exchange of chanting.

"Break out, reality!"

"The Cherubim chant..."

"Break, nerves!"

"The Seraph has descended..."

"Exile this world!"

"Connect to the laws of physics!"

The Takanashi Rikka are unleashed in an instant; hands form a mudra, and the attack is launched—

"Great Fireball Technique"

A huge fireball was burning with intense flames, and the heat evaporating the moisture in the air released visible plumes of steam.

"Fire God Shield"

Nanamiya Chion twirled her wand, releasing strangely colored spiritual energy that unleashed a Magic Circle that transformed into a shield to block the fireball.

"To display such power so quickly, you truly deserve to be the strong one I've recognized."

"It seems I, Sophia, have to take you seriously."

She leaped into the air, and during the brief moment of levitation, her magic wand transformed into a giant longbow.

"Um?"

A look of panic suddenly appeared on Takanashi Rikka's face.

"Excuse me, but I'm Magic Demon King Girl, different from ordinary Magical Girl. How many of these Thousand Feather Phoenix can you dodge?"

Nanamiya Chion smiled smugly, and the jewel on her wand shone brightly, releasing hundreds or even thousands of waves of spiritual energy in succession.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique"

Takanashi Rikka reacted quickly, spewing out flames like a tidal wave.

"Boom!"

The two forces clashed and exploded in mid-air, the smoke from the explosion obscuring visibility.

"We succeeded!"

A beam of light shot out from the blind spot and pierced through Takanashi Rikka's shoulder.

However, her body vanished like a phantom.

"It was just an afterimage?"

Through the smoke, Nanamiya Chion opened her demonic eyes, thinking with some surprise.

"Roar!"

The next moment, a huge dragon-shaped flame descended from the sky, its ferocious form possessing a certain spirituality and a sense of realism.

"Has your location been revealed?!"

The spiritual energy beneath her feet surged, as if she were on roller skates, propelling her forward at breakneck speed.

However, the fire dragon did not disappear after crashing into the ground; instead, it turned and chased after her, biting her.

Is that all you've got?

Takanashi Rikka slowly walked out from the side, her tone laced with provocation.

"They're really troublesome."

Nanamiya Chion's expression turned ugly for a second, then she flashed a mischievous grin and said, "But do you think you can drive me to the brink? How naive!"

She made a mudra with her left hand, chanting rapidly.

"The Crimson Lotus Flame, cloaked in darkness, transform into Dark Flame... burying the enemy in the abyss!"
