Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

[Well... never mind that. What I need to do now is figure out how to defeat Zero-chan. I have to defeat Zero-chan here.]

[Do you have any ideas about this problem, Elfnein?]

Feeling a little dizzy from the current changes in the situation, Hibiki Tachibana steered the conversation back to the question she had initially wanted to ask.

【Boku... Sigh, Carol, what do you want us to cooperate with?】

Just as Elfnein was trying to think of a way to help Tachibana Hibiki, she suddenly felt that Carol was sending her a message through a shared consciousness.

"Miss Hibiki, just now, Carolo's plan was completely ruined by Zero. She told me that if she wants to defeat Zero, she has one last chance."

[She asked me to inquire whether you, Ms. Hibiki, would like to cooperate with her, even though... now that you, Ms. Hibiki, know Carolo's purpose.]

Although Elfnein was slightly unaccustomed to the current situation, she faithfully relayed all the information Carol had told her to Tachibana Hibiki, leaving the choice of whether to agree or not to her.

[Shall we continue fighting alongside Carol? Hmm, Elfnein-chan, tell Carol-chan, I can do it.]

Despite knowing Carol's true intentions, Hibiki Tachibana still chose to believe in Carol as she was.

The most important thing now is to pull Zero back from the abyss. If Carol becomes an enemy again after she is pulled back... then she will stop Carol and use her to hold someone else's hand to trigger her miracle.

[Understood. So, Miss Hibiki, get ready. Carol said she's about to unleash a string boost exceeding the energy of seven billion people's final song to fight against Zero.]

[While working with Miss Finney, she learned about the nature of your ArmdGear. Therefore, whether you can do something with her help depends on you, Miss Hibiki.]

Elfnein, who dutifully served as a bridge between Carol and Hibiki Tachibana, quickly conveyed Carol's thoughts to Hibiki Tachibana.

"I understand, Elfnein-chan, I will do it!"

Hibiki Tachibana stood up, her eyes revealing determination.

“BAKA, shouldn’t we be the ones talking about ourselves at a time like this?”

At the same time, Chris, who was leaning against the wall and swaying as she stood up, had a determined look and a smile on her face.

“We heard what you just said, Tachibana. My silver bowl can manipulate energy vectors, so let me help you.”

Maria, half-sitting on the ground, also clutched her injured left wrist, while declaring that she would assist as much as possible.

"I have never felt such pain before; it felt like my life was truly burning away."

"That's true, but we'll still do our best to avoid dying."

Supporting each other as they stood up were Tsukuyomi Tō and Akatsuki Uta, their faces covered in bloodshot veins.

"The sword that sings in the wind, the wings that soar, are both meant to dispel despair."

Dressed in a formal suit, Feng Mingyi had also managed to regain some strength and used it to stand up.

"Fighting... is painful, I've experienced that, but I also deeply understand the reason for fighting. Hibiki, I won't fall behind either."

Not a warrior herself, but a self-taught fighter, Kohinata Mirai experiences the terror of battle for the first time, but also gains a deeper understanding of the reasons why they must wield swords against each other.

"Everyone... um, let's all attack together! Everyone, we absolutely must defeat Zero-chan and then save her!"

With the support of her companions, Hibiki Tachibana felt an endless surge of power welling up within her. With like-minded friends by her side, she felt that she could do anything.

Therefore, there is no need to hesitate any longer. There is no better time than now to play the ultimate trump card, which can no longer be used.

[Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal]

Back to the present, at the most crucial moment of the stalemate between Lingyi and Carol, the swan song of the musicians resounded throughout the battlefield, bringing a touch of panic to her heart.

[Emustolronzen fine el baral zizzl]

However, the situation on the battlefield would not change because of Zero's reluctance. The swan song that continued to be sung appeared as a third-party energy collection, empowered by the energy released by Carol in the surrounding area.

[Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal]

[Pain, so much pain! It feels like the power is tearing my body apart. I can feel the fragments of the relic growing in my chest... Even so, I will trigger a miracle!]

The power and pain brought by her swan song gradually manifested in her body, and blood gradually seeped from some vulnerable parts, but Tachibana Hibiki would never stop because of this.

[Emustolronzen fine el zizzl]

[Everyone, if possible, please unleash your strongest attacks on this spot afterward. If my analysis is correct, destroying this spot will prevent Miss Zero from continuing to draw string buffs from the world.]

While the performers were working hard in their own ways, Elfnein did not stop either. Knowing that this was probably the best opportunity, she revealed to the performers the weakness that Zero was most concerned about.

"Understood, thank you, Elfnein-chan, thank you everyone... Here, let's converge our attacks at one point, S2CA, Burst Activation, Symphogear, Limit Release!"

His golden pupils had never been so clear, and his clenched fists had never been so powerful.

With the energy of the final song empowering her, all of Symphogear's restrictions were lifted, and the attack that gathered all their power was blasted away by Tachibana Hibiki.

Then, the colorful tornado appeared instantly, displaying an unparalleled presence on the battlefield.

"Did this feeling ultimately lead them to success...?"

Looking at the familiar, towering, and enormous energy, Lingyi realized that she was no longer able to stop the musicians from appearing in their miraculously powerful forms.

"Ha...ha, um..."

At the same time, Carol, who was locked in a stalemate with Zero, finally exhausted her last bit of strength. The Blue Lion's offensive could no longer be sustained, and the Roaring Cannon, which was originally on par with the crimson flames, was completely overwhelmed by the flames.

However, at this point, defeating Carol is no longer of any use, because the enemy she thought she had defeated has unreasonably burned himself and gained the power to stand on the same stage as her once again.

"Zero-chan, do you still want to continue fighting?"

A familiar, innocent question came through, reflected in Lingyi's eyes at this moment.

At the same time, what was reflected in Lingyi's eyes were seven girls, each wielding immense power, surrounding her, their seven colors—orange, red, blue, silver, green, pink, and purple—flowing with beautiful, angelic wings.

"Really, that's amazing. You guys, with your bodies that were already so fragile, used the alchemist's swan song power combined with your own swan song to regain the power to fight me."

"And with this power, I destroyed the megastructure that I had been preparing for for who knows how long, and my accomplished goal went bankrupt at this moment."

"Really, she's very capable..."

Ignoring Tachibana Hibiki's question, and looking down at the huge, piercing crack that had been blasted through by the seven-colored tornado, Zero remained silent, revealing her extremely bad mood.

"Zero-chan...I see, I understand."

Although Lingyi did not answer her question directly, her words and attitude at this moment made one thing clear: fighting was necessary.

"Let me see which one is stronger: your power to cause miracles or the sorrowful power in my hand!"

Looking around at the seven lights surrounding her, Lingyi gripped the hilt with both hands and raised the blade to her chest.

She will not admit defeat, and they will never give up.

P.S. Good morning... I got elbowed by the temperature difference last night.

Chapter Forty-Seven Fierce Battle

The battle began, and Zero immediately started thinking about how to win.

[The control mechanism has been destroyed, and the string gain can no longer be supplied here. How long can this form be maintained...? Three minutes.]

After assessing her current situation, Lingyi quickly understood her losses and how long she could hold out after the supply was cut off.

So, in these three minutes, let's decide the winner.

Knowing the target, and with the data of the seven people around her unfolding in her mind, Lingyi fully entered battle mode.

hunshangfan〈,hunshang】

The opening song was sung, followed by Tachibana Hibiki's right fist extending and lengthening.

In an instant, with the restrictions lifted, the radiant Tachibana Hibiki's fist armor transformed into a fist-gun, which she then fired and propelled forward, the blade turning as she began her charge.

"【Disruptive Ripple】"

Ripples of energy appeared, and a fierce clash ensued between the shield and the spear, resulting in a stalemate.

[Heaven is in the Feather's Hand < Dagger Force Leads]

Taking advantage of Tachibana Hibiki's breakthrough in one direction, Kazanari Wings, which allowed her to fly with bright blue wings, swung her broadsword at Rei from another direction.

"Wouldn't it be unfair for armored vehicles with both restrictions lifted to surround me alone?"

As she watched the sword blade swinging towards her from another direction, Zero said this while adjusting the interference ripples she was using to block Hibiki Tachibana's attack.

"Soft, attacked?" "Tachibana?"

Then, before Hibiki Tachibana could react, her charge was suddenly deflected, landing on the blade of Kazanari Tsubasa's incoming sword.

beak--

Before they could react, the two who launched their simultaneous attack collided in mid-air.

[Supervisor Yumihito Bankei

"Take a look at your own ridiculously strong abilities before you say that!"

While criticizing Zero's out-of-place remarks, Chris waved her hand, and countless cannons, machine guns, crossbows, and other weapons extended from her armor. Then, all the weapons were fired!

"Is that so? Sorry, and here you go, [Multi-Task War Blade]."

As it answered Chris's words, the portal of the Warblade opened neatly, and the flying shells were engulfed in the void before appearing beside Chris and exploding.

[He De'ai is of great importance;]

"attack……"

“Death!”

Not at all discouraged by the failure of Hibiki and the other two's offensive, Tsukuyomi Chowa and Akatsuki Kirika immediately launched an attack, combining ArmdGear into a giant sweeper-like device.

"【Scissors Clasp】"

In an instant, endless slashes came crashing down on Lingyi.

In response, a futuristic blue light flashed around Zero, and four earthen-yellow fighting armors appeared, floating beside her and restraining the sharp blades that were slashing towards her.

"[The fire reignites]"

Temporarily halting the attacks of the two on this side, attention turned to Maria, who, taking advantage of the two's attack, unleashed countless short sword floating cannons from another direction to attack this side.

The next moment, he gripped the blade tightly, flames rose, space connected, and he leaped forward in an instant.

[I am in Chong;UT]

"It would be naive to think this could be a breakthrough point!"

Facing Zero, who suddenly appeared in front of her, Maria showed no fear. The short sword in her hand transformed into a chain sword made of light, not for defense, but to attack Zero, who was rushing towards her.

She did this not only because the lifting of the restrictions brought immense power, but also because she believed in her companions and that the opportunity they had created would definitely be seized by them.

[Original Drumming Song]

"Don't ignore my presence."

Suddenly, amidst the stirring song, a bright mirror appeared beside Zero, who was attacking, and Maria, who was defending. The divine beast mirror's brilliance in destroying all sacred relics was about to be revealed.

Kohinata Mirai, observing the battlefield from a distance, realized that Zero might target someone who had become separated from their comrades at some point. Therefore, she prepared a levitation mirror in advance, placing it beside herself and Maria.

"cut……"

Left with no other choice, Lingyi abandoned her attack. She held up the Blazing Flame Blade and spun it around, shattering the chain sword that Maria had thrown at her. She also used the explosive force of the Blazing Flame Blade to temporarily escape the aim of the Divine Beast Mirror.

[I Wing | 7 Liu Yi Er Jiu^ Today I Catch Horse]

While Lingyi failed to achieve anything due to the Divine Beast Mirror, she was greeted by Tachibana Hibiki, who had just regained her senses and charged at her again, as well as the swirling sword energy from Ame no Habakiri.

Following the two, Tsukuyomi Chou and Akatsuki Kirika, who had disintegrated from their giant, sweeping machine-like forms and broken free from Quine's restraints, also flanked them from both sides.

Meanwhile, Kohinata Mirai's Divine Beast Mirror continued to multiply and began aiming at various directions she might dodge, while Maria, in front of her, was itching to use her chain sword to restrict her movements.

"Two minutes left. This level of understanding and coordination... phew... it's going to be tough."

To be honest, even when facing a player in XD mode, Zero is confident that she can decide the winner in a short time if she faces any one of them alone.

[Jackal, Soul on Wrist U? Package of Relatives h]

However, perhaps having learned from the lessons of the last battle, the players in XD mode this time focused more on supporting and cooperating with each other in confined spaces rather than launching all-out attacks.

Those who attack use all their strength to attack, those who defend protect their companions' backs, and those who possess the ability to kill wait for their companions to create an opportunity for them. Everything is like a tightly running machine.

This makes it difficult for Lingyi to divide the battlefield and continuously create advantages for herself through mobility, as she did in the previous battle of the frontier.

[Tai Sui (7) Shang 5 Ren Qiang <]

"However, we can still fight... [Thruster]"

Despite some disadvantages, Lingyi's side still holds the advantage in terms of combat strength. As long as the musicians make a mistake in their coordination, she can seize that opportunity and turn the tide.
