While simultaneously attacking my opponent, I used Telekinesis to ward off the spear . At the same time, Fran used Divine Sword Techniques to counter Valkyrie, who, leaning sideways to dodge, lost her balance . Throughout the exchange, Mare’s flames continually burned Valkyrie’s body, however Mare herself had barely managed to stop Valkyrie’s front kick with her sword . The situation had quickly become alarmingly dangerous .
「She’s so tough to deal with! Our attacks don’t seem to be affecting her at all!」 — Mare
With a grave expression, Mare bemoaned their desperate situation . Even if we attacked Valkyrie, she couldn’t feel pain and any wounds we inflicted would recover straight away .
「GuRooooo!」– Valkyrie
「Shit!」– Mare
Mare, who was once again hit by Valkyrie’s fist, saw that the burnt flesh began to regenerate, just as it had done before . If we continued like this, there really was no hope of victory . There was just no end in sight .
「Fran! I want to try a more powerful technique! Could you keep her busy for a while?」– Mare

「Right!」– Mare
Mare retreated while Fran drew Valkyrie away . Despite not using Brilliant Lightning Rush, Fran tried her best to keep Valkyrie at bay by herself . With the improvement of Valkyrie’s status, her fighting power had spiked considerably, however this was balanced out by the absence of Dullahan and the Evil Beings’ assistance .
『Haa!』– Me
「Fu!」– Fran
Fran fought valiantly against Valkyrie and, little by little, backtracked until she circled back to Mare .
Although Valkyrie’s fighting power had definitely increased, her intellect had all but disappeared . Thanks to this, Fran and I had a very easy time baiting her in . What was most worrying, however, was that Valkyrie’s movements were getting faster and faster .
Did this mean she was previously in some form of incomplete state resulting from her forced transformation into an Evil Being? Was this why now, as her changed body and newfound strength began to align, she was so improved? If so, she has the potential to become even more dangerous . I suppose we can only hope that the technique Mare has up her sleeve is enough to put her down for good .
「Impact Slash!」– Fran
The next instant Fran blocked Valkyrie’s stab with her Divine Sword Techniques, using the force of the collision to put some distance between them .
Using this opportunity, Mare came forward . Despite it being the first time they had worked together, Fran and Mare managed to cooperate through eye contact, even their breathing seemed to be the same . Although she had appeared behind her, Mare’s presence had provoked no meaningful response from Valkyrie .
「Haaaaa! Golden Interception Flame!」– Mare
Mare now carried the Dragonblade Llinde, the sword she had previously been using, sheathed on her back . Instead in her hand was a shining sword . The iridescent sword she held seemed to be formed from the tight compression of her own Golden Flames . It was probably a technique that could only be used when the Golden Flame of Extinction was active, similar to Fran’s Black Lightning summons .
「Nuooo!」– Mare
「Ga…Ga…」– Valkyrie
Mare’s burning sword ran straight through Valkyrie’s back, charring her body from the inside . Valkyrie’s eyes and mouth began to erupt with a torrent of searing flames .
「GuGiaOOOoooo!」– Valkyrie
Valkyrie was gradually enveloped by the inferno, forming a golden pillar of fire that rose straight up into the sky . Without the dark shadow screaming and struggling at its center, it would have been quite the picturesque spectacle .

(ShiShou!) — Fran
『Finally!』– Me
Now that Valkyrie was submerged in the intense flames, Fran had the time to release a major attack . I thought that Fran would use her Sword Lord Technique, Broken Sky, but it seemed that it wouldn’t activate in her current state . Without Brilliant Lightning Rush, Broken Sky seemed unable to launch .
『UOooooo！』– Fran
Fran used Godspeed Slash and swung me at near light-speed, cleaving the air while using Transformation to explosively enlarge my blade to a gigantic size .
The moment I touched the Golden Flame, my blade began to dissolve . Fortunately, Flame Resistance prevented me from evaporating instantly . Only by combining Instant Recovery with Godspeed Slash could I bear the flames . Sure enough, the Beast Lord’s Golden Inflame could not be so casually touched . Nonetheless, before I even had time to react, I had already lost part of my body’s blade .
In spite of everything, the moment I cut into Valkyrie, I finally felt her magic stone being absorbed . Strength flowed into me; this time, we’d really done it!
『I felt it work this time!』– Me
Our relentless determination had finally paid off!
