"He's not my brother anymore," Mira said firmly, eyes locked on Michael.
"You're not my sister either!" Michael spat back, his voice hoarse.
"Shut up already, dumbass!" Mira snapped.
"Shhh," Kuina said sharply. "Mira, that's enough."
Mira hesitated, her anger still simmering. "But—"
Kuina turned to her with a small smile. "No need for words. We'll settle this with fists, not insults."
Mira nodded reluctantly.
"Look who decided to show up," Piper muttered, eyes narrowing. "Namo. Time to end this."
Molly glared coldly at the sky.
Clara, arms crossed, shrugged. "Good luck, guys. I'll just be over here. Observing."
Michael and Namo grinned in unison.
Kuina didn't wait.
With a fierce war cry, she launched toward Michael. Her sword blazed crimson as she swung down. Michael barely managed to block with his yellow axe, his arms trembling under the weight of her power.
"I feel… alive," Kuina growled, smiling with wild energy. "So strong. So unstoppable!"
The aura from her blade exploded, launching Michael backward across the dirt.
"Let's dig some graves," Namo said, stretching his arms like warming up for a jog.
Mira tried to fire a spell but collapsed to her knees. "I burned too much energy… I can't fight like this."
Kylie stepped forward with a confident grin. "Don't worry, love. I've got this. Lika—hypnotize the loser."
Lika nodded, her eyes glowing as she activated hypnosis.
But Namo was ready.
He leapt straight toward Kylie.
Before he could land a blow, a pink blur cut him off—Molly, moving at lightning speed, slammed her fist into his jaw.
She winked at Kylie.
"Thanks, babe," Kylie smirked, launching upward and firing black magic bursts at Namo.
Nearby, Piper rode atop Mortis, her unicorn, who fired a massive energy beam. Piper added glowing water projectiles, filling the sky with colorful death.
On the other side, Kuina continued her duel with Michael.
"You still can't touch me," Michael taunted, blood dripping from his lip. "How did it feel, dying like that? Hell taste good, bitch?"
Kuina clenched her teeth, then smiled with a crooked grin.
"Hell was lovely. Missed you there, dumbass."
She surged forward, slamming a left punch into his gut.
Michael gasped, spitting blood. Shock registered on his face.
"That's enough games," Kuina said.
She vanished—teleporting behind him—and kicked his spine with brutal precision. A sickening crack echoed.
Michael screamed, his body hitting the ground like a ragdoll.
Across the battlefield, Namo faced the rest of the harem.
"Wow," he said mockingly. "You're all so… weak. I'm barely trying."
He pulled energy from his chest and hurled a pulsating orb.
It exploded midair, sending waves of toxic force that knocked everyone back.
Piper, Molly, Mortis, even Mira all cried out, collapsing.
"The energy's laced with weakening poison," Namo laughed. "Let's just say… you won't feel like fighting anymore."
Kylie stood firm.
"I'm a witch, asshole. Your petty magic doesn't work on me."
Piper groaned. "Kylie… I can't move… he paralyzed me."
Mira lay panting, body trembling. "I'm… exhausted… can't…"
"Oh shut up, slut," Piper muttered. "You've done enough for one day."
Mortis whimpered, lying on his side. "Piper, pet me… please… I think I'm gonna throw up…"
He did.
Molly growled through her teeth. "Shit… I can't run. What the hell did he hit us with?"
Namo looked baffled. "Why are you still standing, you gothic idiot?"
Kylie smirked. "Because I'm beautiful and magical, bitch."
She charged him, kicking hard. Namo blocked with his forearm.
Meanwhile, Kuina walked slowly toward the barely crawling Michael.
She lifted one finger and fired a tiny bolt of energy into his shoulder.
He cried out, falling flat again.
"Fuck… I'm even weaker now. I've got nothing left…"
Kuina stared at him, neutral.
"You're pathetic. Honestly, boring. Are you really Mira's brother? She's far more interesting than you."
He growled, trying to stand. "Bitch… I'll… aah—!"
He clutched his shoulder, collapsed again.
Kylie and Namo continued trading blows. Her kicks and spells met his martial arts in a dazzling flurry.
Suddenly—
Clara approached Piper, touching her shoulders.
"Vanish."
Light surged—and Piper stood tall, fully healed.
Clara licked her cheek. Piper blinked. "Uh… was that part of the spell?"
"Yes. No. Maybe. Hehe."
She moved to Mortis, cleansing him. He stood proudly, tail flicking.
"Thanks, naked sexy lady," he said with a neigh.
Clara reached Molly, placed her hands gently—
Nothing.
"Why… isn't it working? Vanish!" she screamed.
Still nothing.
The system whispered: **Love Barrier Detected**
"Molly… you're anti-love… my magic won't reach you. You need to release it yourself."
Molly's eyes fluttered—and she fainted.
"Piper! Help Kylie!" Clara shouted.
Piper nodded, charging toward the battle.
Lika approached Mira, holding out a hand.
"Come on. Let's fight together."
Mira shook her head. "I can't move, Lika… tell the naked chick to come over here instead."
Kylie and Piper fought in sync—death magic, water blasts, martial arts.
Namo roared, deflecting and countering with brutal punches.
At the same time, Kuina aimed her sword. The blade charged an energy sphere from its core.
Michael couldn't move.
She prepared to fire.
"Wait!!" Mira screamed.
Everyone froze.
Mira cried again, voice cracking: "Let me talk to him… one last time."
Lika held her up.
Clara stayed focused on the unconscious Molly.
Kuina glanced at Mira. Her expression softened… then hardened again.
She whispered coldly:
"Sorry, Mira. No time for talk."
