……We don’t even know if we can beat Crom Cruach, or if Ophis’s other half is also downstairs……
We don’t want to waste unnecessary strength here. —But there are several annoying opponents’ right in front of us. Now then, what option do we have? While we are coming up with the best option we have, Koneko-chan takes a step forward. “……Please leave this to me.”
Saying that, she closes her eyes and takes a deep breathe. “……It seems like what Nee-sama taught me would become handy here.”
Then shallow white light starts to appear around Koneko-chan’s body. It starts to envelop Koneko-chan’s small body, and she also releases her touki as if she’s responding to it. Koneko-chan has touki around her body and is emitting light from her body. The light eventually becomes massive and bigger. The light starts to mould into a shape. ……The one that appears once the light settles is……an Onee-san who looks like Kuroka! She’s wearing a white kimono while she has cat-ears and two cat tails growing out! That Onee-san speaks. [By gathering the natural ki nearby, I made myself grow by force by synchronising it with my touki.] Seriously!? T-This is Koneko-chan’s vooooice! Rias says to me who is taken aback and speechless. “That’s a senjutsu technique which allows Koneko to grow temporarily so she can use the nekomata’s power with her free will and it is done by taking in the ki outside into her body. —Koneko said it’s called Shirone-mode.”
So she forced herself to become an older woman through the use of senjutsu! And it’s called Shirone-mode! M-More importantly! It’s huge! Her oppai are huge! Her breasts have matured so much that you can tell from above her kimono! It’s about the same size as Kuroka! Ah, so when Koneko-chan matures, she’ll turn into a wonderful beauty like this! Shirone-mode Koneko-chan goes ahead without making a sound just like a ghost. When she swings her right hand to the side, what appears there is—a big wheel. The wheel is covered by white flames. [—Kasha. It’s one of the nekomata’s ability.] Kasha! I know at least the name of that! Sensei then says. “Kasha is a youkai that lures the dead to the other world and is called the other form of nekomata. For them who woke up from the dead and turned into Vampires, that flame would become the critical strike due to the technique’s trait. The problem is if it would work on them that have lost their weaknesses……”
Koneko-chan makes many kasha appear in the air and she makes them go flying towards the Vampire warriors that are standing in front of her! The kasha spins in the air very fast and goes flying towards them very quickly! “I've never seen such an attack, but something like this is—”
He looks down on her attack fearlessly—. Even if he dodges the kasha, it changes its course in the air where it finally grabs hold of the Vampire! “U-Uwaaaaaaaaaah!”
The Vampire turns into ashes while screaming in agony! Oh, one hit kill! Her opponents are in shock after seeing that. “W-Why!? Why did he burn!? We were supposed to have gained a body where fire won’t work on us!”
If they suddenly turn into ashes after they thought they overcame their weakness, then it’s natural for them to be shocked. Koneko-chan says it mercilessly. [It’s useless. That fire will not disappear until it burns out the dead. I changed the natural ki it took inside to a power of purification by using my senjutsu. It’s not about weaknesses. As long as you don’t change the reason and the principle of your existence, the fire will keep on burning all of you.] —Power of purification. So Koneko-chan gained such an ability with the training she had with Kuroka! Sensei nods. “……It’s basically the opposite of Saji’s cursed flame. His flames curse you for eternity with the negative power while hers purify and make you disappear with the positive power.”
The power to purify! Hmm, an ability fitting for Koneko-chan who is strict with lecherous things! “Then we simply have to attack!”
One of the Vampires that gave up on dodging it tries to attack Koneko-chan directly! —But, the moment his fist touches Koneko-chan, that Vampire turns to ashes immediately! [……Right now I am the power of purification itself. You know you will disappear simply by touching me?] Disappearing simply by touching her! It’s too amazing since its power of purification! “W-Wow……”
I swallow my saliva and Sensei says to me. “Even the evil you shouldn’t touch her, you know? You’ll get purified. That works effectively on those who have evil intentions. It will probably work on Evil Dragons too. Obviously the effectiveness will reflect on how well Koneko can use it…… But it seems like against these enhanced Vampires, they can’t even do anything against her.”
Yeah, just like Sensei said, the many kasha controlled by Koneko-chan begin to eliminate each of the enemies. “Daaaaaaaaaaamit!”
The last one standing turns into ashes and disappears as he screams. Koneko-chan single-handedly took care of all the Vampire warriors! After confirming that she took care of all of them, Koneko-chan breathes out. I can tell that she is tired. “That was amazing, Koneko-chan! Oh, but I can’t touch you so light heartedly……”
Even though I rush to her side, I can’t touch Koneko-chan who is emitting out white light. Koneko-chan then says it with a red face while wiggling her body. [……Ise-senpai. ……I’ve grown bigger now.] “Y-You certainly have……got bigger.”
Of course her height is taller, but her breasts especially grew the most! Uoo, so Koneko-chan is going to turn out to become a beautiful girl like this with such an amazing body in the future! Well, this is something I can’t help but to look forward to! [……I can’t maintain this form for so long, but one day I will definitely turn out like this and become your bride—]
The light around her disappears after she says it till there, so she returns to her usual loli girl form. She collapses on the floor all of a sudden as if she lost all of the energy in her. “……Fue.”
Rias embraces Koneko-chan before she collapses. “Good work, Koneko.”
Rias pats her head. Anyway, that sure was an amazing growth, Koneko-chan. And the power of purification huh. If she trains harder, it seems like she can damage the Evil Dragons as well. “It’s her first fight using that form. So she must have used up all of her stamina.”
Sensei gives his analysis. But thanks to that, it seems like we can go through this area easily. We then head down the stairs as we hold Koneko-chan. “—!”
Just before we reach the floor below, I catch the presence of him. ……There is a familiar aura coming from downstairs. The wave of evil aura. It’s so heavy and it feels as though it is gluing onto my skin. When we open the door to the third floor of the basement, a very loud laughter echoes throughout the space. [Guhahahahahaha! It hasn’t been that long, Ddraig-chaaaaaan!] Black scales and silver eyes. It’s a giant Dragon! “Grendel!”
Yes, the one who is on this floor is the Evil Dragon we fought during the magician’s assault!
