The Outer Faction's forces staggered, their formations broken but far from defeated. Crimson light still lingered in the air, the remnants of Sarah's Absolute Synchrony strike scattering like dying embers across the battlefield. The lieutenant's quivering aura signaled vulnerability, yet the enemy still had numbers—and cunning.
Sarah exhaled, Lust Engine thrumming in sync with her harem. Every heartbeat, every frôlement, every deliberate touch fed the lattice. The harem's proximity became a weapon in itself.
"Now," Sarah whispered, brushing her palm lightly along Rias's waist, Koneko's back, Akeno's forearm, and Rossweisse's shoulder in one seamless motion. The tactile pulse radiated outward, igniting Heart and Veil Synchrony beyond previous limits.

The lieutenant raised a hand, trying to stabilize the battlefield, but the lattice now functioned as a living, reactive weapon. Xenovia's blade arced in perfect timing, guided by the faintest frôlement of Sarah's fingertips along her arm. Rossweisse's energy shields synchronized with a subtle brush against Sarah's waist. Akeno pressed a playful, intimate palm against Sarah's back, sending sparks of Desire through the lattice.
Koneko's presence was grounding yet lethal, every touch calculated yet infused with trust. Lilith Fragment wove spectral threads of energy, amplifying the synergy to unprecedented levels. Even the walls and floor responded, shimmering with the resonance of combined Ascension energy.
The battlefield became a living organism, each member of Sarah's harem an extension of her will, each frôlement and glance a strategic strike. Lust Engine surged, Desire peaking beyond previous thresholds.
The Outer Faction faltered, but then the lieutenant moved, attempting to concentrate all remaining forces into a final coordinated strike. Shadows surged, blades flashing, energy arcs converging toward the harem.
Sarah's eyes narrowed. She pressed a hand along Rias's chest, another along Koneko's back, brushing fingers across Akeno's arm. Each contact triggered adaptive pulses that redirected attacks mid-flight, deflecting shadows and disintegrating energy constructs. Charm Domain flared crimson, waves of Desire-imbued light crashing outward, scattering enemy formations.

The lieutenant's eyes widened, aura flickering violently under the concentrated assault. Sarah let the lattice flow freely, guiding each pulse, each frôlement, each glance. Every brush of skin, every heartbeat shared with her harem became a weaponized conduit of energy.
Akeno's lips brushed against Sarah's ear in a teasing, electric whisper. "Let's end this… together."
Desire flared into raw, tactical power. Sarah pressed the last sequence of frôlements: Rias's waist, Koneko's back, Rossweisse's shoulder, Xenovia's arm, Akeno's forearm—synchronization perfect, pulses converging. Heart and Veil Synchrony reached the pinnacle, absolute, unstoppable.
The lieutenant staggered, overwhelmed by the combined, intimate assault. Shadows dissolved, energy arcs shattered, and the Outer Faction's advance collapsed entirely. Crimson light engulfed the battlefield, a testament to Sarah and her harem's unified power.
Sarah's chest heaved, Lust Engine thrumming like a living pulse, Desire blazing at maximum. Her lips curved in a victorious, determined smile. The Ascendant Counterstrike had succeeded.
The lieutenant, now on one knee, aura fractured, looked up. "Impossible… such… unity… such power…"
Sarah stepped closer, brushing lightly along Rias's waist, Koneko's back, and Akeno's arm in a final signal of dominance and trust. "This is what happens when bonds become more than strategy. When desire, trust, and will converge… nothing can stand against us."
The Outer Faction was routed, but Sarah felt it—the lingering presence of something greater, something watching, waiting for the next breach. She inhaled, Lust Engine pulsing, Desire surging, fully aware that their battle had only reached the opening gambit.
The harem pressed close, breathing and bodies synchronized, their intimate touches no longer just a strategy—they were a declaration, a weapon, and a bond unbreakable.
Sarah exhaled, crimson light reflecting in her eyes. "We fight as one. Always. And the world will learn… what it means to face the Vessel of Desire."
