(Master, let's do this)

『Ou!』

With me clad in chaos destroyer power, Fran rushed toward Sibylla.

「Haaah!」

「Koryaah!」

After feigning a blow aimed at Sibylla's leg, Fran changed my direction in mid-strike, and aimed at Sibylla's head like Kendo's Men-Uchi (Mask/head strike).

The speed and sharpness of the strike have not changed much from earlier. But I, the sword she held, has changed a lot.

It was because I am unleashing a monstrous power that I have drawn from my blessing.

My blade then made contact with Sibylla's head, but it couldn't cut through her head.

「Shii!」

Sibylla twisted and turned in a desperate attempt to duck me. She had never tried to make any serious evasive maneuver until now, but now she did.

And just like that, my blade then cut into her defenseless left shoulder.

Until recently, this kind of attack would only end up as a shallow cut.

But that was not the case this time.

「Impossible!」

「Finally!」

『Yeah!』

Sibylla's left arm flies through the air and blood gushes out from where the cut was made. It is the most serious damage we have dealt in this match.

Wriggling out of her shoulder, the lost arm quickly begins to regenerate. But unlike before, the regeneration speed was clearly slower.

「How… Was it because of that sword!?」

『Let's give her the answer!』

「Nn! Thaah!」

「Shiit!」

For the first time since this match began, Sibylla is now on the run. Having abandoned attacking and concentrating on evading, her movements was just like an animal.

She was even able to dodge an attack that I thought was going to hit by a hairbreadth margin. And even after accumulating a lot of wounds, her movements showed no sign of slowing down.

Still, it is impossible to avoid all attack by Fran and me who are in full throttle.

「Shii!」

「Wha!? Teleportation huh!?」

Using Teleport that we had been saved up to this point, Fran piled up more damage by striking at the part of Sibylla's body that have not been injured. Even if it was not a one-hit kill, the number of wounds on her body that have not begun to regenerate was steadily increasing.

『How about this!』

「Your magic has become strange too, huh…!?」

What I unleashed was a thunderbolt magic with the Goddess of Chaos's blessing effect in it. It did not do much damage, but it was not completely resisted either.

It managed to hinder Sibylla's movement for a moment, and Fran took the opportunity to continue going on the offense.

But just as I thought that we can simply push through like this, Fran suddenly took a big leap back.

「Urraaaah!!」

At the same time she shouted, red magical power began to overflows from Sibylla's entire body. It is not only that the color of the magic was red, but blood was actually gushing out of her skin along with the magic power, giving an intense red glow.

The sight of the red liquid like magical power dancing around Sibylla's body looks somewhat mystifying. Despite its beauty, however, my Danger Detection reacted crazily to it.

Moreover, the changes on Sibylla were not only that blood was gushing out of her body, but her body itself has undergone a transformation. Her muscle's mass has simply doubled, and her fangs and claws have visibly enlarged. Her eyes too, have changed to resemble those of a reptile.

Her current figure resembles the Half-Dragonmen we had seen before. It makes me wonder if she's not purely human to begin with.

Anyway, things are getting bad for us.

「I'll devour you!」

As Sibylla shouted so, the writhing blood magic power around her body began to move onto attacking us. This sight makes me think that it was similar to an amoeba that has its own will.

『Fran! Don't let it get you!』

「Nn!」

By dodging the first attack, Sibylla's attack struck the stage, but it didn't seem to end there, the place where it hit quickly melted away. It was as if it had been melted by slime.

But, does her blood magic really have that kind of properties?

The next attack, her blood stretches like a whip and attacked us, but Fran slashed it away. As I thought, it was not enough to melt me when I was clothed in the divine attributes.

But it managed to considerably reduce my durability, so I don't think it's a good idea to keep receiving it like that.

Just when I thought we had secured the victory, who knew she had such a secret technique. But that's just what I expected from her!

『Fran, let's settle this all at once. We'll only get exhausted if we keep dealing with her strange attack』

(Okay)

Fran nodded and raised me up above her head while I used Dimension Shift and Physical Attack Nullification to buy Fran time to prepare.

Seeing this, Sibylla immediately ceased her attack. She then gathered the blood she had been manipulating around herself and put it up like a barrier.

She must have sensed that Fran was about to end this match and decided to counter by preventing her from doing so.

「…」

「…」

Both Fran and Sibylla looked at each other in silence. The tension between them must have made them realize that it was time to settle this match. The audience, too, watched them both while holding their breaths.

In this odd silence, Fran and I moved. She dunked lightly to make it look as if we're rushing. But this was just a bait.

(Master)

『Yeah!』

I used Illusion magic that could remotely generate a faint sound.

It was a rather simple feint that can't even be called a trick.

But Sibylla reacted slightly to the feint for the first time in this match. Not missing this opportunity, we teleported.

Sibylla, who had momentarily stopped by our feint, immediately turned her gaze at us who has been already behind her. She didn't look as panicked for someone who have just realized it by now though.

She then quickly controlled the surrounding red blood to rush toward Fran.

But this was just another feint!

「Black Thunder Roll!」

「!!」

After taking her attention with teleport, Fran moved further overhead with her Black Lighting Roll. This time we succeeded in completely delaying Sibylla's reaction.

Even so, Sibylla still tried to concentrate her blood over her head and increase its thickness. But we're faster!

「Thaaah!」

『Doryaah!』

This time, Fran's Heaven's Judgement managed to cut through Sibylla's body. Though she was able to just barely avoided her head from being cut, the cut went through her left shoulder, her heart, and passed through her groin.

「Ghah…」

Sibylla lost control of the red blood and it fell directly to the stage with a splattering sound. Then after a short delay, Sibylla collapsed in a pool of her own blood.

But neither Fran nor I had eased our stance. The Cradle of time has not been activated after all. In other words, Sibylla is still alive even in that state.

「Argh… Ghah…」

We could see that Sibylla was about to do something. Her left arm, which had been separated from the head, lifts up. It seems to be moving through her control of her blood.

『Fran!』

「Nn!」

I'm going to release some magic while Fran aimed me at her.

At the same time, magic power came to her left palm, but…

「Tsk」

Sibylla stopped her move. Her figure reverted back to her original human form then muttered in frustration.

「It's… My loss…」

Immediately after, the Cradle of Time was activated and Sibylla's body got enveloped in light.
