Noticing that she was only hurting herself, Cranberry stopped attacking for a split second, but Marika wouldn't let that chance slip. She kneed Cranberry in the waist, and finally landed one blow on her. With Cranberry's posture already broken, it was a simple matter for her entire body to be entangled in vines.
Cranberry may outmatch Marika in physical abilities, but in strength? Nobody in the entirety of the Archfiend Cram School was a match for Marika Fukuroi in strength. Reach was related to physical abilities, but strength had no relation to it. No magical girl could compare to Marika, who sumo wrestled a magical tank when she was in kindergarten.
Still, Cranberry endured. In fact, she attempted to pull on Marika as the vines wrapped around her, but her posture had already broken. Her graceful smile was then replaced with a pained wince as Marika's second knee to her waist came in far faster than her first. By her third, the vines had already reached Cranberry's chest.
