The 32nd chapter of the Shakugan no Shana X: Eternal Song manga series.
The battle between Wilhelmina and Chernobog neared its conclusion.
Summary[]
Wilhelmina and Chernobog continued their fight. Above them, Mathilde silently rode through the sky as her Knights battled the Töten Glocke army.
Wilhelmina attacked but Chernobog slipped into the shadows and struck at her from below with her left arm. Wilhelmina gracefully dodged and wrapped Chernobog's arm in ribbons. Just before Wilhelmina exploded the ribbons, Chernobog detached her own arm at the shoulder in order to surprise Wilhelmina with a powerful punch to the stomach with her giant right hand. She slammed Wilhelmina's head into the ground, creating a small crater.
Chernobog planned to finish off Wilhelmina with a spinning dropkick from above, growing spikes on her legs to tear through Wilhelmina's ribbon defenses. Suddenly, Chernobog's legs were blown off from the shins down. Chernobog noticed the ribbons on the ground around Wilhelmina and realized that she had laid out ribbons around herself throughout the fight to make a net, and had tightened the circle in the middle to slice through Chernobog's legs. Chernobog had been foolish, having used the same trick twice against the Flame Haze renowned for her combat skills, and she thought of Molech.
Though Chernobog only had one full limb left, she again leapt at Wilhelmina with her knees and drew out her claw from the shadows to rip off Wilhelmina's right arm. Just before Chernobog landed the finishing blow, Wilhelmina used her mouth and remaining arm to wrap the ribbon still held by her severed arm, which was flying through the air, around Chernobog's neck and pulled, decapitating her.
Chernobog's peaceful smile.
As her head flew through the air, Chernobog had a vision of Molech, who told her that she didn't need to fight anymore. Since Molech had said so, it must be true. Wilhelmina was surprised to see a peaceful smile on Chernobog's face as she faded away.
