Shrieking tentacles burned and fell away, even as more came to try and take their place, the burning cedar eventually falling to the ground after many of the tendrils were left to dissipate into black smoke. And still they wound themselves into drills, preparing to strike at Copenhagen Star.... Until the magical girl made her response. That ball of twisting, warping darkness, distorting the world around it as it fired and tore towards the tentacles that were making to strike her once more... as it passed, they all twisted towards it and were ripped apart, billowing out into black smoke. In a single blow, every tentacle on that side of the Negari was destroyed.

The remaining tentacles immediately moved in a bit to compensate for so many losses, but were suddenly encased in ice. The blobby creature let out a shriek of what some could almost call frustration, if Negari were even capable of feeling such things.

Akane heard one of the girls, and she could see where the knives had hit. The Ripper had shown them a weakness, and now... Now she had to do everything she could to get there! The Negari was stunned, most of its tentacles lost and the rest frozen! This was her chance! Taking a deep breath and crouching low, the dragon knight magical girl tensed and then leapt, careening into the air. Her armored boots let out an unpleasant squishy sound as they hit the shrieking creature, but thankfully she didn't sink into it. Flames blazed across Dragon Edge once more as she sprinted to the first knife and drove the thick sword directly into the Negari's flesh!

The creature let out a piercing screech as the flaming blade hissed through it, Akane letting out a cry of her own as she sprinted across the monster's body and burned her way through its frame. By the time she had reached the other knife, she had cut the Negari entirely open across its back!

The Negari let out one final scream before a strange, starry, black-and-white fluid poured from it with the black smoke. With it came the humans trapped inside, flooding out, still unconscious as they rolled down the sides of the deflating creature. Akane lost her balance and tumbled off to the right with a yelp of surprise.

Soon enough, the Negari's insides had emptied, leaving a limp sack that was slowly dissipating into nothing but black smoke.
