“Since you’ve already made your decision, then I have nothing more to say.” Pandora looked at Blazing Flame calmly. “Place the card on your Battle Suit, Blazing Flame.”
“Got it!”
Blazing Flame nodded, gripping the white card in her right hand and gently pressing it against the sword’s blade.
In an instant, surging flames burst forth from the blade, relentlessly burning the card in Blazing Flame’s hand.
Under her watchful gaze, the white card transformed into red starlight within the flames, merging into the sword’s blade.
At the very moment the card completely dissipated, a familiar, melodious girl’s voice suddenly echoed from the great sword.
The flames that had burned the card were now scorching Blazing Flame’s body.
But the fiery blaze consuming her body brought no sting or pain—instead, it gave her a subtle warmth.
“Inserted, loading.”
“Authorization License, awaiting confirmation.”
Listening to the familiar voice, Blazing Flame slowly exhaled a breath and then fixed her eyes on the Savage Beastman already advancing. With determination, she shouted,
“Transform!”
At her fierce command, the previously heard girl’s voice burst from the great sword.
“Authorization License confirmed!”
“Core Power, enhance! Weapon Form, change!”
“Magic Girl Attire – Blazing Flame: Boost Form! Installation complete!”
A pillar of red light suddenly descended from the sky, merging with the flames enveloping Blazing Flame and transforming into faint golden starlight that danced around her.
As the starlight faded away, a brand-new Blazing Flame appeared before Pandora.
Now, Blazing Flame held a blazing Spear in her left hand, and in her right, a snarling Dragon-head Shield.
She wore a red, long-sleeved shirt as the main color, paired with a red skirt. Her white thigh-high stockings revealed smooth, fair skin between the hem and the top of the socks.
Compared to before, Blazing Flame now exuded a calmer and more confident aura.
“So this is… Boost Form?” Pandora murmured, staring at Blazing Flame.
“Yeah, this is the brand-new power I now possess.” Blazing Flame said calmly. “Let’s go, Pandora. Are you ready to keep fighting alongside me?”
“Of course! Blazing Flame! Let’s purify these two damned Monsters together!” Pandora said happily, looking at Blazing Flame’s new Form.
“Heh, time to move.”
The moment Pandora jumped onto her shoulder, Blazing Flame bent her knees slightly, then exploded forward like a swift leopard, moving several times faster than before.
In the blink of an eye, she was already in front of the Savage Beastman.
“Roar!!!”
Seeing the Magic Girl who had blocked its path once again appear, the Savage Beastman howled toward the sky and swung its massive palm toward Blazing Flame.
Blazing Flame watched coldly as she activated her body, stepping to the right dozens of paces and effortlessly dodging the Savage Beastman’s reckless strike.
But as the Savage Beastman swung its palm, a faint white silhouette appeared at its neck.
It was the Giant Snake from before.
“Blazing Flame! Watch out!” Pandora couldn’t help but warn her, alert to the ambush lurking in the shadows.
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
The moment the white reflective silhouette appeared, Blazing Flame charged at the Giant Snake, shield raised, aiming at its head, and slammed forward with force.
“Hissss!”
The Giant Snake emitted a mocking hiss as Blazing Flame rushed toward it, attempting to twist its body to land a heavy blow on her.
But Blazing Flame accelerated a second time, appearing at its right side before it could turn. Without hesitation, she smashed the shield into its eye.
Bang!
“Hissss!!!”
The Giant Snake howled in pain, black blood streaming continuously from its wounded eye.
Suffering such a fatal blow, the Giant Snake lost its composure and began wildly twisting its head, attempting to attack Blazing Flame who was right next to it.
But after landing the strike, Blazing Flame had already stepped back to the neck connecting the Giant Snake’s head, spear tip aimed precisely at its throat.
Since this big guy liked to lurk at the Savage Beastman’s neck to ambush her, she’d let it experience what being pierced through the neck feels like!
“Hiss…”
As the spear pierced the neck connecting to the brain, fierce flames relentlessly consumed the massive body.
The Giant Snake’s sinuous form twisted and writhed as it tried to flee toward the Savage Beastman’s heels, seemingly attempting to escape quickly.
“Heh, trying to run now that you can’t win? No such luck.”
Seeing the Giant Snake attempt to flee, Blazing Flame chuckled lightly and gave chase.
Within mere moments, she caught up and aimed her spear at the Giant Snake’s other eye.
“Hissss!”
With no hope of escape, the Giant Snake snapped forward wildly, seemingly determined to fight to the bitter end.
Even with Blazing Flame’s spear tip inches from its eye, it showed no sign of dodging.
“Too naive.”
Blazing Flame shook her head expressionlessly, silently judging the Giant Snake’s behavior before stepping back several dozen paces.
The next second, the Savage Beastman’s palm slammed down from above, crushing the Giant Snake heavily.
It seemed that if Blazing Flame hadn’t stepped back just now, she might have been hit alongside the Giant Snake by the Savage Beastman’s full-strength strike.
“All right, the biggest troublemaker is knocked out.” Blazing Flame pointed her spear at the Savage Beastman. “Next, I’ll send you all straight to hell.”
“Roar!!!”
After effortlessly dodging her fatal blow, the Savage Beastman unleashed a frenzied howl, far louder and more piercing than when they first arrived in the Old Town, like thunder that made ears ache.
Yet Blazing Flame’s face remained expressionless.
Because she knew well—this was just the Savage Beastman’s unwillingness to die.
“Go to hell.” Blazing Flame flicked the black blood off her spear. “Monsters.”
With her judgment passed, Blazing Flame surged forward again, wielding her spear and shield to relentlessly attack the Savage Beastman’s weak points.
Without the Giant Snake obstructing her, Blazing Flame easily killed the Savage Beastman on the spot, making its body topple onto an empty lot, ensuring it wouldn’t destroy any more buildings in the Old Town after death.
“That wraps up the fight on our side, Blazing Flame.”
After Blazing Flame dispatched the unconscious Giant Snake and cleared all the Shadow Beasts in the area, Pandora, still perched on her shoulder, spoke in a relaxed tone to congratulate her.
“Hmm, how about the Two Magical Girls on the other side?” Blazing Flame sheathed her spear and asked.
“The Two Magical Girls are still locked in fierce battle with the Shadow Beasts, but they’re close to winning.” Pandora replied. “Looks like this fight is going well.”
“Well, looks like I’ll have to make up for the classes I missed.” Blazing Flame turned to Pandora and said.
“…Haha.”
Pandora shifted her gaze elsewhere, avoiding Blazing Flame’s eyes.
