"Silence!"
The battle started with Ahri's face turning red, and she sent a light beam toward Rai. It flew faster and even bigger than yesterday. The Magical Girl actually got stronger in just a day!
Rai had prepared himself for this and grinned. Finally, an opponent who used a specialized tool from the spirit. This way, he could judge how strong he was based on the battle and gain data for future reference.
"You're not the only one who got stronger, Miss Magical Girl."
A hexagonal barrier appeared before him as he raised his hand. The beam collided with it, creating a white spark before scattering into a thousand pieces.
Ahri looked surprised, but she immediately launched a follow-up attack. Three light beams were sent flying from the tip of her wand.
Once again, they collided with the barrier and scattered.
Ahri was more surprised that Rai was able to block the attack with the barrier. On top of that, it had no sign of being cracked! It stayed the same as before.
The Magical Girl knew her attacks were useless, so she stopped and instead created a meter-long light sword that appeared from the tip of her wand.
She immediately rushed toward her enemy with incredible speed.
"Not bad," Rai said as he watched Ahri rush toward him. He lowered his barrier and clutched his cane tightly, raising it to block her light sword.
*Clang!*
A spark flew from the collision when the sword met with the cane. They were in a deadlock for a second before Rai was pushed back slightly.
'Oh?'
He immediately realized that Ahri had better physical ability than him. Her STR was more than 50, and he couldn't confront her head-on.
Thinking quickly, Rai kicked the Magical Girl, making her jump back to avoid it. She landed a bit away from him and spared no time to rush again.
'I can do it.' Ahri thought as she noticed something from their deadlock earlier. 'I am stronger at close range!'
"My, what a brute girl."
Muttering in a low voice, Rai controlled the ribbon in his other hand and sent it toward Ahri. It moved like a living snake, zigzagging. The direction of its attack changed in a span of milliseconds, and Ahri stopped.
"Ha!"
Moving her hand at a fast speed, her sword wand blocked the red ribbon, but it was unable to cut it. Feeling in a predicament, the Magical Girl jumped back once again and accumulated her Magicule into her wand.
The white light condensed at the tip as the sword disappeared. It illuminated the lobby with a bright light, turning the red color white.
'That looks rather bad.'
Rai's nostrils moved slightly as a sweet smell similar to condensed milk attacked his nose. It seemed like Ahri gathered almost all her Magicule and decided to use it in one attack. Either she was reckless, or she was confident.
"Interesting. While it's dangerous, running away from Magical Girl without playing with them is not my style!"
Controlling the red ribbon, Rai took the robotic arm he had thrown away earlier. He let go of his cane, turning it into a black Magicule and condensing around his palm. The robotic arm was pulled toward his hand, covered in black Magicule.
He planned to turn this arm into a magical weapon. And he already knew what kind of effect he wanted from the new magic weapon. Slowly, the robotic arm melted into a black metallic liquid, morphed into a glove shape, and covered his left hand.
It surprised him a little as he didn't expect it to transform like that, but at least he knew that the transformation was complete.
Rai immediately felt weaker after his Magicule was siphoned out to use the Weapon Creator. According to his estimation, he spent around 10 thousand Magicule. All happened instantly, and Ahri was still gathering her Magicule as she saw he didn't do anything at all.
That was a mistake, a really big one.
'Let's test it.'
The Devourer nodded and raised his left hand after lowering the red ribbon. This time, he didn't need that weapon as he got a new toy.
"Expand."
With a simple keyword, the black glove that was turned from the robotic arm earlier turned into metallic black liquid and dropped to the ground. It quickly expanded over a radius of 20 meters, completely turning the lobby's ground with black color in the shape of a palm.
"What's happening?!" Ahri's concentration was divided as she shouted. That didn't stop her from gathering her Magicule, but she knew her enemy had begun moving. "I need to shoot it now!"
The Magical Girl swung her wand; it was heavy. While Magicule didn't have weight, it still carried the power to make something heavy if manifested as magic. And the condensed Magicule in the tip of her wand was magic, not pure weightless Magicule.
Still, Ahri was strong. She managed to swing her wand and pointed it toward Rai.
"Light Beam!" Shouting the name of her attack, the white light shrunk and converged at one point. It then shot forward like a laser with a diameter of 5 meters, faster than the speed of sound.
However…
"Rise." Rai calmly chanted and pointed his index finger upward.
At the same time, the black metallic liquid on the ground shot up like a hand grabbing something. Its palm was open, and the surrounding was immediately covered in darkness.
The darkness devoured the laser beam Ahri unleashed, disappearing into nothingness. The Magical Girl was confused, and she looked around. Nothing could be seen as if she closed their eyes.
However, in the middle of the darkness, where not even the ground was visible, she could still see a silhouette of her enemy.
"What did you do?!" Ahri shouted, trying to get information as to why her attack suddenly disappeared.
Rai grinned as he stepped forward, approaching the confused Magical Girl calmly.
"It's common sense that light can't exist in the unlimited darkness." He replied as he kept moving forward. "Now, it's my turn."
The red ribbon in his hand shot forward. It circled around unsuspecting Ahri a few times before he pulled it.
The ribbon immediately tightened around Ahri's body, tying her and making her fall.
"Ah!" The Magical Girl voiced her surprise. She was careless and got tied up again! Raising her head, she saw Rai walking toward her with a smile while holding a ribbon, but she couldn't even see it extended toward her. "Release me!" She shouted.
"No can do, Miss Magical Girl." Rai crouched in front of her, who looked like a caterpillar. Somehow when she tied her up, it ended up emphasizing her breasts and made them look about to burst from her clothes.
Looking at her, he licked his lips.
'She looks so good. Before Ami returns and Guardians' reinforcement arrives, let's plant a bit of corruption on her. And I know how to corrupt Ahri and what she likes from the novel.'
Stretching his hand, Rai held Ahri's chin and raised it, forcing her to look at him. Then, he declared, "It's time to play, Ahri~ I will drown you in pleasure."
