Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

【Yes, I understand. I just feel a little bad for Kiri-chan.】

Watching the aircraft explode in the air, and holding the completely dazed and powerless Akatsuki, Tsukuyomi once again expressed her apologies in her heart. At the same time, the roller skates on Tsukuyomi's feet began to spin rapidly, and she turned and ran towards the road.

One of the features of the Chanju is its roller skates, which can unleash speeds comparable to high-speed motorcycles when used at full power, and are also the means by which Tsukuyomi escapes.

bang——

However, at that very moment, almost as soon as Tsukuyomi began to maneuver, a beam of light struck her from the side, and the violent blast nearly made her lose her footing.

"Oops, I missed. Was my aim too hasty?"

Following the path, one could see Zero hovering in mid-air, holding a tiger shark cannon that was still emitting smoke in one hand. From her clean appearance, it was clear that the sudden explosion of the aircraft had caused her some trouble, but not much.

[Damn it, I thought I could buy some more time, but Symphogear's outfit made quite a commotion after all.]

Upon seeing this, Finnie's tension immediately spiked. She hadn't expected that, even though she had tried her best to be optimistic, she still underestimated Lingyi's reaction speed.

[I...I will try my best. Although I've never beaten Zero-nee-san, when it comes to escaping, ShulShagana, whose mobility is comparable to a motorcycle, can do it.]

After stabilizing herself, she used all her strength to propel the saw, speeding up the nearby road at a near-ground-flying speed, like a super-high-speed motorcycle.

"Second round reload... Ha, so this is where the results of our previous training are showing?"

Meanwhile, just as Zero was loading the Tiger Shark Cannon with its second round of ammunition, she discovered that Tsukuyomi had already fully entered the escape phase.

While advancing, they also paid attention to changing the pattern of movement, minimizing the probability of Zero's Tiger Shark Cannon hitting the target. Due to the lack of preparation and haste, Zero was unable to intercept from a distance with only the equipment at hand.

“Phineas couldn’t control ShulShagana so flexibly, which means that this decision was made by the will of the tune.”

"Was she deceived by Finney's sweet talk, or was there some other reason that led her to betray him? Ha, it must be because of Finney after all. That ghost is so annoying."

Thinking about this, Lingyi's already bad mood worsened.

"This distance between the two sides is too far, so we can only pursue them. Tch, if the thruster engine hadn't been damaged in the explosion just now."

Immediately afterwards, her gaze shifted to Tsukuyomi, who was moving at an irregular speed on the highway, and Rei made a judgment with some annoyance.

Although she had sensed something was wrong as quickly as possible, the sudden explosion damaged her thrusters, rendering her unable to maneuver quickly. She could only try to intercept the Tiger Shark Cannon first.

"They were already on the verge of giving me a major blow, and they still had to pull this kind of stunt on me. So they should have done the work of sealing it off beforehand, in order to completely seal off Finney's soul?"

While complaining about the surprise Finney brought her, Zero quickly found a new thruster, which was quickly replaced by the multi-mission combat machine.

"Phew... I hope there won't be any more surprises."

Looking at Tsukuyomi, who had grown quite a distance from her due to the delay, she sighed. Rei ignited the new thrusters behind her, and with a roar like that of a fighter jet, her figure disappeared from the spot.

[DNA in education work]

"Ha ha……"

【Type A Hundred Reincarnations】

The song in her heart kept echoing, the wind caressed Tsukuyomi's face, and dozens of small circular saws were launched from inside the armor at the horse's tail. The swirling circular saws filled the air, but they were all cut off and shot down, hardly affecting Zero's speed at all.

【What should we do, Miss Finney? At this rate, Zero will catch up with us very soon. She's about ten times faster than Shul Shagana.】

As Zero began her pursuit, Tsukuyomi, who had been keeping a close eye on her movements, began to try her best to stop her without affecting her speed.

However, her blocking effect was not immediately noticeable, and was at least negligible; the speed at which the distance between Lingyi and her was closing did not change at all.

I do have ideas, but it depends on luck.

Sensing her anxiety, Finney quickly came to this conclusion after much deliberation.

To be honest, Lingyi's unexpected early awakening and even more unexpected reaction speed almost instantly pushed her to the brink of despair.

With extremely limited cards in hand, she really had no way to completely guarantee that she and Tsukuyomi could escape from Zero's hands.

[^Power'Mysterious...World^...Fight 0 Moment A/C Also (Ding Xing L On)]

【If you don't do something soon, Miss Finnie, you'll be caught by Zero, and then there will be no way to stop her from doing those sad things.】

Once again, she narrowly dodged the artillery fire from behind. Amidst the blast and smoke, Tsukuyomi's voice carried a hint of anxiety.

After learning about those things, she understood. She didn't want to see Lingyi looking so sad and heavy anymore, and she wanted to see the smile she remembered.

To achieve this goal, Phineas, a priestess who knows a great deal about ancient civilizations and can provide her with information and power, is indispensable.

This is why she didn't hesitate too much before choosing to help the two escape. She had made up her mind, even if it went against her current thoughts, rather than doing nothing and watching the other party, who had helped them so much, continue to suffer.

【I understand. Now it's all about luck. Okay, let's get into that tunnel. The longer we delay, the greater the chance of good fortune coming our way!】

After sensing the intentions of her descendant, Finney also mustered some more energy and prepared to struggle a little longer against Zero.

Although she wasn't entirely confident that she could successfully struggle through, she wasn't entirely sure.

[^Power' in guarding Ma Xuanren = 6 truly strong;? In]

So, after demonstrating various thrilling drifting and cornering techniques to dodge another round of artillery fire from behind, the two of them entered a narrow tunnel in a dangerous situation.

"Adjust, cooperate with me, and whether this will make it happen depends on this."

As Tsukuyomi entered the tunnel, Finney also fully activated the power unique to her soul to synchronize with Tsukuyomi.

Soon, a purple light shield appeared out of thin air behind Tsukuyomi, blocking a cannon shot for her. At the same time, some cunning shadows condensed from the void into entities as noise. The next moment, these noise spiraled and bombarded the top of the tunnel.

Rumbling--

Under the influence of Phine's power, the tunnel experienced a series of collapses, and large amounts of cement blocks began to fall, blocking the road behind.

[Did this count as successfully blocking Zero-chan?]

bang——

Before Tsukuyomi could even feel relieved, the collapsing rocks were blasted away by the Tiger Shark Cannon that Rei had just reloaded.

This collapse did not give Tsukuyomi an advantage in speed; the distance between them continued to shrink rapidly.

This kind of obstruction can't stop us at all. I've done all I can. Now all we can do is try to delay and see how our luck turns out.

Finney said wearily that releasing this power without affecting Tsukuyomi's soul was also a pressure for her.

"I understand now. How could it be... that we're already this close? It felt like we were quite far apart at the beginning, but only a few minutes have passed... Sister Lingyi is really strong."

Just as she snapped out of her internal conversation with Finney, Tsukuyomi suddenly realized that the distance between Rei and her had reached a dangerous level, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Fortunately, she soon stopped being nervous about being caught up, because not long after she thought that, a gust of wind appeared in her senses.

Clang—Bang—

"ah--"

With the sound of metal clashing, an impact came from behind. It was as if Tsukuyomi had been hit directly by a truck. Her body flew out of the tunnel like a kite with a broken string and rolled on the ground.

"Ugh... What happened, Death?"

At this moment, Xiaoqiege, who was out of the loop, was grabbed by the back of her collar and lifted up by Lingyi's hand during the impact, but she was not injured.

"You're still the same as before, always giving me extra work to do, Finney."

Her footsteps touched the ground, she put down Xiaoqiege, and Lingyi's gaze turned coldly to Tsukuyomi, to the spirit hidden within that body.

"Ha ha……"

Enduring the slight soreness in her body, Tsukuyomi struggled to her feet, tried her best to steady herself, and, slightly out of breath, assumed a fighting stance.

"The cat-and-mouse game is over, Diao. No matter what Finney said to you, I will question you about it when we get back. This time, I won't let that guy have another chance to bewitch people."

Without intending to waste any more words, facing Tsukuyomi's defiant will, Zero gripped her Flash Blade and lunged forward.

"I won't lose here... *sobs*"

The Tsukuyomi tone drives the Gear, preparing for a final act of defiance.

However, despite Tsukuyomi's strong and unwavering will to resist, she was simply not strong enough to fight against Zero with the help of Akatsuki Kirika, and was pinned to the ground in just one exchange.

"Armed request? Black Widow, grab anchor."

After suppressing Tsukuyomi, Zero planned to summon the Anchor to tie her up and take her away; she didn't want to waste any more time.

"Wait, this is the linker. What do you want to do with it?!"

However, at that moment, Rei suddenly realized that Tsukuyomi's resolve to resist seemed to be stronger than she had thought.

"Lingyi... Sister, I will definitely make you smile like that again."

Tsukuyomi, who was pinned to the ground, put down the empty syringe in her hand and said firmly.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Buying Time!

"Aha--"

While injecting an excessive amount of Linker, Tsukuyomi activated the Symphogear on her body with all her might. The giant circular saw burst forth, temporarily forcing Zero back and buying her time to sing that song.

[Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal]

[Emustolronzen fine el baral zizzl]

[Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal]

[Emustolronzen fine el zizzl]

The Final Song unleashes the full power within the body, and under its influence, each Symphogear experiences a tremendous enhancement in different directions.

However, when using the Linker excessively, Tsukuyomi's final song can minimize physical damage and make more efficient use of its power.

"The swan song of the Chanju is based on endless slashes with high mobility, if it is only used for defense."

After his final performance, Tsukuyomi's armor expanded and grew, with several enormous saws emerging from his head armor.

"Why did Finney tell you that he would go to such lengths to use his swan song for this?"

Compared to the fact that the entire armor has been upgraded by one level, Zero is more concerned about what kind of bewitching potion Finney has given to Tsukuyomi.

“Sister Zero, I did this so that the ending would go in the right direction. For this reason, I cannot let Sister Zero seal away Finni.”

Looking down at Zero, Tsukuyomi explained her reason for fighting, and then several huge, high-speed rotating circular saws were the first to cut towards Zero.

"I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to do... Never mind, I'll have plenty of time to ask you after I subdue you."

Tsukuyomi's inexplicable words caused Zero to lose patience. She stopped trying to persuade him with words, focused all her attention, and roared the engines of her thrusters as she devoted herself entirely to the battle.

"ha--"

Without saying another word, Tsukuyomi made the most of her limited power, and the robotic arm carrying the circular saw cut toward Zero.

With a bang, a circular saw struck the ground where Zero stood, kicking up a cloud of dust, while Tsukuyomi held another circular saw horizontally in front of her.

clang--

The flash blade and the circular saw clashed, producing a metallic clang.

Without a moment's elation at blocking the attack, Tsukuyomi, while retracting the circular saw that had just attacked, directed the third and fourth circular saws toward Zero.

bang——

As expected, the attack missed. Tsukuyomi calmly used the circular saw she had just retracted to reach behind her, attempting to stop Zero, who had moved behind her again.

However, the circular saw was stepped on, and Zero's agile figure used the saw's rotational force to leap over Tsukuyomi's blockade, the black and red blade heading straight for Tsukuyomi's main body.

With no other option, Tsukuyomi had to move the two circular saws she had originally intended to use for her next attack to her front for defense. However, this further compressed her already limited space to maneuver.

To make matters worse, the floating aircraft, which had been searching for an opening from the outside, took advantage of the gap in her defenses and squeezed in front of her. Then, a violent impact erupted on her face.

[Oh no, we must completely block Zero's attack routes...]

With her vision disrupted by the floating units, she used her senses to have the circular saw on her robotic arm block Zero's possible attack directions. At the same time, she released tiny circular saws around her to prevent close-range attacks and quickly clear her vision.

Then, after Tsukuyomi had a clear view of her surroundings, she heard the sound of artillery fire coming from behind her, and then she felt a wave of heat and impact coming from behind her.

bang——

Before she could defend herself, she was hit squarely by the tiger shark cannon that emerged from the portal.

"Cough, cough..."

Behind the crimson energy shield, Tsukuyomi was still shaken.

[Can we continue? Zero Guilt IV Abandoned 2.]

Using her power to protect Tsukuyomi, Finney inquired about the other's condition.

Thankfully, the power of the final song is strong enough to hold on. However, Sister Lingyi is truly amazing; I wonder how much longer she can last.

Tsukuyomi's pessimistic response.

If she hadn't performed her final act beforehand, the Chanza itself wouldn't have been able to defend against the continuous attacks from all angles.
