The battle within the Colorless Realm raged on. Pale, mutated animals threw themselves fearlessly at the nightmare monsters. Blood and debris fell like a torrential downpour.
"All the nuisances have been silenced!" The blue-haired angel spread her arms wide toward Sakura. "Now, come with me to paradise, honey~"
Amidst the thunder, an unprecedented, scorching heat surged through her soul.
Burning wings spread open, propelling her forward like a crimson star rising from the depths of hell.
Sakura's calm emerald-green eyes reflected that morbid, twisted face.
'Typically, as a pirate, the best way to deal with a yandere was...'
"Die, you disgusting freak!!!"
Power far exceeding that of a normal body gathered into concentrated beams within her flesh, and Haki coiled around the giant axe.
"First Form: Army Breaker!"
An axe technique derived from the Left Arm of the Pirate King, after countless battles, had finally evolved into something new in the hands of its inheritor.
The freezing axe light, stealing all heat, tore through the soul flames in the angel's hands, instantly engulfing Miria's body.
"Ahahahaha, it hurts, it hurts so much!"
Hysterical laughter echoed across the frostbitten earth. The blue-haired girl, half her body eroded by ice, charged forward.
Half her flesh was shattered, the bones of her raised arm exposed. Yet on that demonic face, murderous intent and twisted love intermingled.
Soul flames merged into her body, causing her to swell continuously, finally beginning to reveal the terrifying form of a mythological angel.
Beast Form!
'Tch, can't match them without Conqueror's Haki Infusion?'
The enormous shadow before her blotted out Sakura. She frowned and clicked her tongue in frustration.
The citizens of Elshakh behind her were dying one after another, and the MMAs hadn't vanished yet, meaning at least one full-fledged God's Knight was still waiting for her.
'With the system unresponsive and the Demon's Blood unusable, how could I break this deadlock?' (T/N: I don't know what's this Demon's Blood is, but it's written like this in RAW.)
'Think, Haruno Sakura. Time to use that super brain of yours!'
'Right, Sealing Techniques!'
This technique from her original world, specifically designed to deal with troublesome monsters, was perfect for the current situation.
'However, my chakra was being interfered with. The technique had to be carefully concealed, and... I only had one shot.'
"What's wrong, sweetheart? Afraid of my true form?"
Before her, a gigantic being with six pure white wings stared intently at Sakura with its countless wing-mounted eyes.
At the center where the wings converged was a huge horizontal eyeball, its golden pupil filled with mockery.
Accompanied by the gales stirred by the flapping wings, countless flames shot forth like meteors.
Meteors struck the ground… undefendable, soul-searing heat erupting, transforming into crimson tornadoes of fire.
The angel's figure elegantly weaved through the flame clouds, rapidly closing in on Sakura.
"Axe-"
The girl was about to raise her axe for another swing but found the handle already broken. The massive axe head fell to the ground, melting rapidly.
Simultaneously, her own body began to show signs of melting.
"How do you like my ability? These are flames that can scorch souls."
"Once you melt completely, I'll remake your soul with ice. Then you'll be perfectly molded into my shape~"
The angel, wreathed in bloodfire and radiant light, crossed the sea of flames and finally came to a stop before the girl on the ground.
"What awful lines..."
Sakura laughed at herself. Even in such a dire situation, not a trace of despair showed on her exquisite face.
"Stop your pointless struggling! I know you have Conqueror's Haki. I've already taken countermeasures!"
For some reason, a sense of foreboding rose in Miria's heart. She flapped her wings, spewing more soul-scorching flames.
In the silent inferno, pinpricks of starlight began to glow.
"Then let's test whether your defenses can withstand my malice!"
The ripples of flame were forcibly torn apart on both sides amidst a deafening roar.
Sakura's melting body lunged toward the angel ahead, like a splash of blood smearing across its eyes.
Then, boiling Chakra erupted from her body's surface. After forming hand seals, her hands followed, melting away.
However, the Chakra Mobilization was complete. Intricate sealing formulae spread across the angel's body.
[Ninjutsu: Four Symbols Seal!]
"Is that that energy? Useless! I control the drea-"
Miria's ability spread. The authority over the dream realm granted to her by Killingham began to manipulate the dream to oppress and interfere with Sakura's soul, attempting to disrupt her Chakra Control.
"Hmm~ Hmm~"
A lazy voice sounded. Leviathan, already half-embedded into the dream realm, shuddered.
At the most critical moment, it ruthlessly shattered Miria's manipulation of the dream.
"Damn it, that thing!"
Half her wings shattered, all the eyes on the angel's body flashed with disbelief.
Then, Chakra Flames manifested, swallowing the gigantic angel into Sakura's abdomen, sealing it completely.
Without the support of the ability user herself, the flames spread across the battlefield soon extinguished.
Sakura, consequently, lost her footing and fell from the sky toward the earth.
"Damn it, we finally won."
Letting herself lie sprawled on the ground, all Sakura wanted right now was a bottle of strong liquor to numb her nerves.
Thanks to the unique properties of Sealing Techniques, Sakura had managed a surprise attack and defeated that troublesome woman.
But her current body was also like a puddle of mud, slowly restoring its original shape bit by bit under the coil of Haki.
"Recovering like this is too slow, and besides..."
Sakura barely raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the MMAs approaching from all sides.
The citizens of Elshakh had been exhausted. Now, these manufactured nightmare monsters would carry out their original purpose: to kill all invaders.
Simultaneously, the existence of the MMAs indicated one thing.
There was still one enemy left!
"Haruno Sakura! Look what you've done!"
Purple flame clouds rose and spread from the world below, enveloping everything.
A Kirin's head emerged from the darkness, its mane and beard dancing and burning like flames.
The arm holding the halberd bulged with veins, the person utterly consumed by rage!
"Good day, Saint Rimoshifu Killingham!"
Sakura lay on the ground, a mocking smile on her face, weakly flicking the brim of her cowboy hat in an improper gesture of salute.
"Angering me now is useless. After tonight, you will certainly be presented before the boss!"
Killingham violently spun his halberd and stabbed it through Sakura.
The hypnotic ability of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Kirin Form activated, forcibly hypnotizing Sakura.
"But before that, face your fears properly!"
The halberd, like a harpoon, violently pulled a large mass of black bubbles from Sakura's body.
He snapped his fingers, breaking the hypnosis and woke Sakura.
"Go, torment her, MMA!"
Under the ability user's command, the black bubbles, created by nearly draining Killingham's stamina, swirled.
Countless bubbles fell to the ground.
Sakura's nightmare was about to manifest.
A pair of golden eyes opened within the darkness, a pink skirt swaying like a flower in the wind.
Emerging from the nightmare bubbles was... Sakura herself, wearing a pink princess dress!
"Notice: Leave the rest to me."
