Fierce artillery fire rained down from the sky. After determining that she could gain little from close combat, Raye switched to the Saten Armor and used long-range electromagnetic cannons to bombard the massive black demon, trying to pierce his core.
"Ahaaaa!"
Using his palm as the price to block the orange-yellow heavy cannon blast, the monstrous black goat roared. His airborne body leapt into the sky at a speed utterly unfitting for his massive frame, rapidly closing in on Raye.
Raye had anticipated this. She prepared to dismantle the Saten Armor, equip the highly mobile Eagle-Type Thruster, and open up the distance again. She had done this many times during this battle.
With her superior aerial mobility, she might not have been able to settle the battle in one move, but she had steadily tipped the scales of victory toward herself.
"Damn it! Damn, damn, damn! Flying around like some damn fly! Do you love using such cowardly tactics that much?!"
Another strike missed, and Adam's irritation and unease multiplied tremendously.
"The method doesn't matter. Winning is what matters."
Ignoring Adam's impotent rage, the Sky Striker in her hand shifted again, becoming an orange-red longsword as she switched to the Ryo-ri Armor. She slashed through the air, sending a blazing blade of fire forth, while a portal opened before her and delivered that red blade straight to Adam's core.
"Ahaaaaa! Damn it!"

This guy is really stubborn, but his strength is still within the range of understanding. If I can understand him, I can defeat him. If I spend a little more time... Hm?
Just as Raye was considering
