"Not good, those guys are coming out!"
"Matsu, Kochou, quickly tell everyone to retreat!"
Seeing the spear, as large as a meteor and radiating immense power, descending from the sky, Sora was shocked and shouted to Matsu and Kochou.
The two girls, with their powerful psychic abilities, also sensed the hidden threat and immediately relayed the message to the girls still in combat.
"Hehe, hehehe, you guys are finally here!"
Karasuba, her face twisted with excitement, licked her lips and prepared to spread her wings and charge forward.
"Yume, stop that thing, use your full strength!"
Pinning Karasuba to the ground, Sora shouted to Yume.
"Huh? Yes, Sora-sama!"
Hearing Sora's order, the ever-dutiful Yume transformed into a streak of light and charged into the sky, using all her strength to punch the descending spear.
"You! What are you doing? Let me go!!!"
Pinned to the ground, Karasuba was furious and struggled violently. If anyone else had interrupted her at such a moment, she would have sliced them in two!
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Sora smacked Karasuba's buttocks several times.
"Stupid woman, look carefully!"
Sora was furious. He had already warned her about the dangers of these powerful beings, yet she still recklessly charged forward.
Are you trying to get yourself killed, girl?!
BOOM!!!
At that moment, the massive spear collided with Yume's punch. The deafening explosion shook the heavens, and massive shockwaves spread across the sky.
In an instant, the clouds covering the entire sky vanished!
Everyone watched in horror. If that spear had landed, not just the Shinto Teito, but the entire country would have been obliterated!
"Now, do you understand? These enemies aren't something you can handle with a casual attitude. The slightest carelessness will get you killed."
Looking at the eight figures now appearing in the sky, Sora released Karasuba and spoke with annoyance.
"Hehe… interesting! Interesting!!! My blood is boiling!!!"
Sighing, Sora felt the urge to vomit blood seeing Karasuba's lack of awareness and her excitement turning her eyes red.
Covering his face, Sora had completely given up on this crazy woman. At least she had now seen the power of these four-winged angels, so hopefully, she wouldn't do anything reckless in the upcoming battles.
"Ha… Kazehana, take care of the remaining stragglers. We need to focus on these big guys later and won't have time to deal with them."
Looking at the girls who had all retreated, Sora spoke wearily to Kazehana.
"Understood, my dear Ashikabi!"
Although she usually liked to tease and occasionally prank Sora, Kazehana never hesitated to follow his orders.
Extending a delicate hand toward the remaining two-winged angels struggling or drawing their bows, she smiled charmingly:
"Storm Blood Blades!"
Thousands of wind blades shot out, engulfing the remaining angels and reducing them to stardust.
These lower-ranked angels were creations of the heavens, without thoughts, intelligence, or even physical bodies—just pure energy. If they had been normal living beings, their blood would have dyed the wind blades crimson.
"Sora-sama, those guys are really strong!"
A streak of light, Yume returned to the ground, her usually carefree face now showing unprecedented seriousness.
"Good job, kid. If we make it back alive, I'll reward you properly!"
Patting Yume's head, Sora smiled.
"So, Miya, how many can you handle?"
Turning around, Sora looked at Miya, who was holding her katana.
"Three!"
As the queen and the eldest sister of all the Sekirei, Miya never boasted but gave an objective assessment of her strength.
"Alright, Yume can handle two!"
Having just clashed with them, Yume understood their power and, after thinking for a moment, held up two fingers.
"Hehehe… I'll take two too!"
Licking her lips, Karasuba gazed greedily at the four-winged angels lined up in the sky.
"Ha ha ha, the last one is mine!"
Smoothing her beautiful hair, Kazehana smiled, but her eyes gleamed with a cold light.
After a moment of contemplation, Sora finally nodded.
Miya and Yume naturally had no issues, but Karasuba struggled against two opponents. Kazehana, the weakest among the four, could handle one but definitely not more!
This meant that Karasuba would be in the most danger during the battle. Seeing the excited look on the crazy woman's face, Sora ultimately didn't stop her.
Although there were no casualties, the other Sekirei girls had sustained injuries of varying degrees in the previous battles, and their energy was nearly depleted. Sending them into another battle of this level would be akin to sending them to their deaths.
Moreover, Sora himself needed to conserve his strength to deal with the final boss. With no other options left, he had to entrust this task to Karasuba.
"Sigh… If you fight, try to stay away from the ground. The aftermath alone could cause a massive disaster."
"These angels are merely products of the Heavenly Path, each possessing only one authority and lacking intelligence. Don't engage them head-on."
"Kazehana, your abilities have a significant impact on the surroundings. When using your ultimate move, fly highe."
…
Although Sora had confidence in his women's strength, it was impossible not to worry. He could only patiently reiterate his instructions.
"You're being so naggy! Those guys are about to make their move!" Karasuba's voice came from the side, filled with impatience.
Sora's mouth twitched. He knew he was being a bit overbearing. Seeing the women trying to suppress their laughter, he could only helplessly say:
"Alright, alright, that's enough. Be careful out there!"
"Although it might not be of much use to you, let Kuno cast 'Blessing Melody' on you."
With that, Sora stepped aside, and Kuno came forward to cast musical notes on the four women one by one.
Miya, Yume, and Kazehana naturally cooperated. Although Kuno's abilities didn't significantly boost their power at their level, every bit helped.
However, when it came to Karasuba, the woman caused trouble again!
"Hmph, I don't need it!"
Holding her tachi, the woman was trying to act cool! This instantly angered Sora.
"Kuno, cast it on her. Double the dose!"
Furious, Sora pulled Karasuba into his arms, holding her tightly to prevent her from struggling, and shou to Kuno. Damn it, you're the most dangerous among the four, and you're still acting all high and mighty?!
"Ah? Oh! Oh!"
Although Kuno was also afraid of the crazy woman Karasuba, if it was her master's order, she didn't care! Following Sora's instructions, she injected several more ability-boosting notes into Karasuba.
"Crazy woman, come back alive. Don't die!"
Seeing that Kuno had finished, Sora whispered in Karasuba's ear, no longer putting on airs, and released her.
"Tch, meddling…"
Turning around, Karasuba transformed into a gray streak of light, shooting into the sky, her murmuring voice lingering in the air.
"So amazing, Master! Big sis actually got shy! Hahaha, I can't stop laughing…"
As if in disbelief, Chiyo, Hatae, and the other girls looked stunned, especially Yuna, who was tugging at Sora's arm and laughing heartily.
"Ha ha ha, Sora, it's so rare to see you make that woman show such an expression!"
"Well, I'm off too!"
Covering her mouth with a light laugh, Kazehana also headed toward her opponent.
"Sora-sama, Yume is going too!"
"Don't worry, Sora, that child will be fine."
After bidding farewell, Yume and Miya also transformed into streaks of light and flew off.
Holding Kuno, who was pale from overusing her abilities, Sora gazed at the figures in the sky.
"No matter how crazy, she's still a woman…"
"And she's mine!"
