Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

—But it doesn't matter anymore.

Aleister, who was monitoring this place through his hovering ray, has probably already memorized the faces of these people. He will likely send a psychic ability user to erase their memories soon.

Satella tapped Shirai Kuroko on the head again: "Snap out of it. I'm taking you to the hospital for a check-up. I also have some personal business to take care of."

That's how healing spells work in the magical realm; they can heal wounds, but they can't fill the body's deficiencies.

Just like Aqua's resurrection technique, which requires the person's body to remain intact.

Satella's healing spells can heal wounds and stop pain, but they can't heal the bone damage that Shirai Kuroko suffered while being tortured.

"I know a frog who looks like a doctor, and his medical skills are superb!"

"Oh...wait, a frog that looks like a doctor? Are you sure you're not mistaken—?!!"

"Well, that's just how I see him. He's a really nice person..."

However, as Satella and Shirai Kuroko walked and chatted, a voice broke in.

"You bastard...stop right there!!!"

Satella turned her head away.

As he could see, Kakine Teitoku wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up, dragging his blood-stained body.

"..."

Satella sighed.

There's no need to elaborate on the power contained in that previous punch.

After experiencing the level increase in the world of "Konosuba", the hellish training in the world of "Honkai Impact", and the buff of brute force.

The Satella of today is no longer the weakling she once was.

The espers in Academy City, although they become powerful due to various special abilities, are ultimately just ordinary people.

Kakine Teitoku was no exception in this regard.

Satella's full-force punch just now was enough to shatter the skull of an ordinary person.

Kakine Teitoku is able to stand up now, presumably through some kind of precise operation within his body using his abilities.

"Good resilience."

Satella left Shirai Kuroko behind and slowly walked towards Kakine Teitoku, who was leaning on a lamppost and slowly standing up.

Satella stood before Kakine Teitoku, who was kneeling on the ground. Night gradually covered the twilight sky, and the streetlights automatically turned on, lengthening the shadows of Satella and Kakine Teitoku.

That scene was just like a villainous boss facing a relentless protagonist.

"To be honest, I know you're not dead, but I'm willing to spare your life for Aleister's sake. If you lie on the ground obediently, I'll ignore you."

Satella spoke as if she were a villainous boss:

"Now that you've stood up, it means you're declaring war on me again. I admire your courage, but—"

Satella spread her hands, her voice full of sarcasm: "Let me be frank, isn't there a better option?"

"Stop being so arrogant!"

Accompanied by Kakine Teitoku's roar—

boom!

With a loud bang, six white wings burst forth from Kakine Teitoku's back.

Those six wings were not like Accelerator's white wings, which had an exaggerated shape that was hundreds of meters long.

However, that is the most fitting design for fairy tales; if someone were to play an angel in that form, no special effects would be needed.

Flapping those wings, Kakine Teitoku swiftly soared into the sky, away from Satella, and then roared:

"You damn idiot! You let it slip yourself! Since only your right hand is functional, I can easily distance myself and torture you a thousand times over!"

Hearing his words, Satella couldn't help but laugh: "In this respect, you are a little smarter than Accelerator."

"However, since you have correctly recognized this point and still dare to say such things, I will expect that your boastful words are not just empty talk, and I will experience all the ultimate moves of [Final Element Matter]."

Satella has changed.

It wasn't a change in appearance, but rather a change in bodily functions. The light of the three holy marks flickered behind her, and at the same time, she placed her hands behind her back as if reaching for an invisible sword.

"Then, I will win."

Satella pulled something out of her back.

At the same time, Kakine Teitoku, who had reached his limit, raised his wings.

Wings over twenty meters long stood on either side of him, looking like two giant swords, slashing down at Satella.

—It was not a slash.

Instead, it used its ability to turn the air into scorching flames and ignite the airflow into a raging hurricane, rushing straight towards Satella!

The attack came roaring down from above, flames burned down the surrounding shops, hurricanes swept up debris from the ground, and the air was filled with wind and fire, with debris flying everywhere.

The cries of fleeing people and the crashing sounds of objects colliding mingled together, creating a scene that resembled a natural disaster, utterly terrifying.

Satella, who was at the center, was enveloped by red flames, blue hurricanes, and various debris, making her invisible.

“Satella—!”

Shirai Kuroko cried out anxiously, but she found that under such an attack, even as a level 4 esper with the unparalleled ability of [Spatial Movement], she could do nothing.

Just then, amidst the various lights in the darkness, a dazzling golden light suddenly shone, so bright and brilliant that it instantly overshadowed all the other lights!

boom!

The 'ball' enveloping Satella suddenly exploded!

Amidst the golden light, Satella stood there with unparalleled grace, her clothes fluttering in the wind.

She gripped the golden greatsword in her hand and swept it horizontally in front of her.

As the sword flashed sharply, in that instant...

The wind was cut off.

The fire was extinguished.

All natural disasters met their demise under that single sword strike.

Apart from the remaining burn marks on the shop, the whole world seemed as if nothing had happened.

“What…!” Kakine Teitoku stared in disbelief.

"What an amazing sword." It was unclear whether Shirai Kuroko was praising the sword's appearance or the effect of the strike.

The golden greatsword in Satella's hand is called the Xuanyuan Sword.

Of course, it's not the Xuanyuan Sword from Chinese legend, but rather the Divine Key that Satella obtained from "Honkai Impact," created by a civilization from the last century using the Herrscher core!

This was a precious gift from her close friend Ji Xuanyuan, so Satella never put it in her storage space. Instead, she asked Anti-Entropy to add quantum technology to the sword so that it would only appear when needed.

Among the thirteen divine keys, the Xuanyuan Sword is also known as the "Key of Domination," capable of controlling various elements in nature, such as wind, fire, thunder, and ice.

Although the fire and wind created from [Primordial Matter] are different from other things, since they can be conceptually called [Fire] and [Wind], they are subject to the control of the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Damn it! All you can rely on are these strange gadgets!" Kakine Teitoku roared from the air.

"So what?!"

As he spoke, his wings shone brightly.

—It is not the wings themselves that emit light, but rather the light is refracted and its properties are modified through [Primordial Matter], causing a fundamental change in the sunlight that shines down upon them.

It was like a beam weapon from a science fiction movie; wherever the white light shone, the asphalt road surface melted instantly, as if it had been scalded by boiling oil.

but--

It missed.

Satella nimbly leaped and darted across the rooftops of various shops, her [Luck] buff and [Omen Perception] working in tandem to prevent Kakine Teitoku's attacks from hitting her.

"You bastard! Is dodging all you can do?"

Kakine Teitoku had forgotten that he had fled into the air to avoid direct combat, but the excruciating pain in his head and the frustration caused by the prolonged ineffectiveness of his attacks caused him to begin to lose his composure.

Perhaps hoping to increase the hit rate, he lowered the flight altitude a little.

Just then——

Whoosh!

Satella pushed off the ground with her knees slightly bent, and as the roof cracked from her impact, her body instantly rose nearly ten meters into the air.

Kakine Teitoku frantically unleashed his power at the ever-approaching Satella, but at this moment Satella once again slung the Xuanyuan Sword behind her back and held her right hand in front of her.

All attacks vanished before her right hand.

Huhu——

The whistling sound of the air echoed in Satella's ears. Looking at the terrified face of Kakine Teitoku so close to her, Satella suddenly spoke:

"Actually, I am a magician."

"?"

"I hate close combat, but since Jingwei is forcing me to learn it, I have no choice but to learn it."

"Of course, it's impossible to learn everything in just a few years, so I only learned some moves that suit me best, like this—"

"Inch-force—"

Satella branded her right fist onto Kakine Teitoku's abdomen.

In an instant, Kakine Teitoku's abdomen arched upwards, his whole body folded into a ">" shape, and even his eyeballs seemed to bulge out of their sockets.

however.
