Chapter 176
They failed together many times.
Suddenly, Kuroki Yuka spoke:
"Fallen Heaven, you must be very unwilling too."
In the flames, the girl held the Feather Wing Magic Wand. This time, as always, she placed her hand on the Magic Crystal that enabled her transformation, and then picked Magic Crystal up again.
The flames were still approaching, enveloping them, and the girl could already feel the intense heat of the flames behind her.
"Because of my weakness, because of my cowardice, you failed with me back then. We failed to save that person and became pathetic beings."
Even feeling that temperature, the girl did not waver.
She simply took her Magic Wand, walked forward, picked up the fallen woman, and continued speaking:
"Even now, you refuse to answer my call because you're afraid of failing again, aren't you?"
Next, she will press down the Feather Wing of the Fallen Heaven.
And doing so will determine their fate, whether she will become the Magical Girl Dark Feather, or fail to receive a response from the Magic Wand and lose to this nightmare once again.
Does it need more time and preparation?
But she no longer wanted to hesitate cowardly.
So her gaze showed no fear, and she pressed down—
"--Which one should I choose? Which one should I choose? Which one should I choose? Which one should I choose..."
The sound of Fallen Heaven echoed from the sea of fire.
Hearing that voice he had heard countless times, Kuroki Yuka's expression remained unchanged.
Yes, which one should we choose?
While embracing the woman, she inserted her Magic Crystal into the slot at the top of the Magic Wand.
"This time... we won't lose again."
"We, the Magical Girl Dark Feather, will no longer be such a weak and pathetic being."
As if in response to her words, the Magic Crystal also emitted light, gradually radiating the light belonging to the Magical Girl Dark Feather, enveloping Kuroki Yuka.
" --Shadow Feather!"
The fire was growing larger and larger.
When a section of the ceiling collapsed and crashed into the flames, the fire finally rushed towards Kuroki Yuka.
Kuroki Yuka simply held Haihara tightly, using her body to shield her from the heat of the flames.
Just as the flames were about to engulf her—
"Transformation."
The Magic Wand shone with a dazzling light.
Behind Kuroki Yuka, dark purple Feather Wing appeared, those beautiful and unique Feather Wing, like the gentle hands of an angel, embracing Kuroki Yuka.
The Feather Wing blocked the flames, and countless dark purple feathers fell.
The voice used to transform also seemed to have changed in some way.
Madness? Despair? Darkness?
In this gray nightmare, the colors belonging to that Magic girl emerged.
The flames gradually stained the girl's figure and her Feather Wing red, but they still could not extinguish her true nature.
The angelic figure then spread its wings, parted the flames, and lifted the woman in its arms, looking out at the now-open windows of the high-rise building.
She took a step forward, then leaped lightly.
The flames did not touch her Feather Wing; the angel's wings spread wide, carrying the girl and the woman in her arms, flying over the sea of fire and soaring into the sky beyond the flames.
It also sailed into a world beyond the nightmare.
"Magic Girl-- Dark Feather!"
Chapter 105 The Nightmare's Finale
From the sea of fire, a dark purple Magic girl, flapping her Feather Wing and carrying a woman, escaped from that scorching nightmare.
She descended to the ground like an angel, her long hair falling down and caressing the sleeping woman's face.
After landing, she gazed at the woman's sleeping face, gently reached out her hand, and after a moment of silence, spoke:
"This time, finally..."
After confirming that Teacher Haihara was alright, the Magical Girl Dark Feather found a safe place, gently laid Teacher Haihara, and used her Magic to stop the bleeding.
After transforming into Magic girl, her memories slowly returned, and she realized that this was not reality, but a nightmare world created by the Magic Crystal.
So, she felt a little strange looking at the unconscious Haihara.
Miss Lily, were you just an ordinary person a few years ago?
Regardless, Dark Feather checked the Magic Power he still had.
She then looked toward the center of the disaster where the Monster had appeared.
The other Magic girls should be there too.
So, she's going to that place next.
Suddenly.
"Tick-tock..."
Dark Feather raised her head.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the sky gradually filled with gloomy gray clouds. Shortly afterward, the school, which had been filled with the light of fire, also darkened, shrouded in the gray curtain of impending rain.
As the first raindrop fell, more and more gray rainwater fell into the flames, and the roaring sound of the flames gradually subsided, slowly being covered by the sound of the heavy rain.
The burned-down school fell silent in the rain.
And so, the Magic girl's Magic extinguished the fire.
The entire school was transformed into a battlefield in the torrential rain, a scene all too familiar to the Magic girls.
In a gray world, the final scene of the nightmare begins to unfold.
After a fire that swept through the school, the last of the Monster appeared there.
Under the cold sky, raindrops dripped incessantly onto a statue-like, silent monster.
The rain soaked its gray scales and colorful feathers.
Compared to the bizarre and deformed Chameleon, this Monster's appearance has a peculiar beauty.
Although it has a human form and stands in a human posture, it has a long scaly tail and feathered scales that cover its entire body like armor, which is gorgeous yet has a touch of eeriness, and even has a holy color.
Tall, with slender, almost alien-like limbs, yet possessing a sense of power.
Its head is covered with scales and long horns.
Its posture was just like... a dragon.
"It's been a long time since I fought in this stance, but this time it should be the end of it."
The Monster's voice had lost some of its previous mockery.
It simply raised its long, slender arms slowly, facing the Magic girls standing before it.
On the other side of the rain appeared two Magic girls.
Magic Girl Phantom Wind, and Magic Girl Star Flower.
"Yes, there won't be a next time. So please, just die today."
Phantom Wind gazed at the Monster figure soaked in the rain.
It was a strange, dragon-shaped Monster with iridescent feathers, completely different from the Chameleon. Just its mere presence exuded a tremendous sense of oppression.
This was the final form of the Chameleon Monster she faced a few years ago.
--- Rainbow Snake Black Death Cult.
An unprecedented Monster has surpassed the Perfect Form and is approaching the realm of Demon King.
Although they were opponents he had defeated before, even today, Phantom Wind is not confident that he can win in a one-on-one fight again.
"Don't rush, not all the Magic girls have arrived yet, have they? Look."
The Rainbow Snake Black Death Cult raised its head.
The other two Magic girls also looked up.
In the sky, a Magic girl flapped her wings, and rain fell. As she approached, she lightly touched the rain-soaked ground with one foot, and water droplets dripped from her body, outlining the girl's silhouette through her thin and alluring gauze dress.
After folding her wings, she gently tucked a damp strand of hair behind her ear and brushed it away from her cheek.
"Does it seem our alliance is doomed, Miss Dark Feather?"
Rainbow Dragon Black Death Cult looked at her, a smile seemingly playing on his pale female mask, but his tone remained the same as before, tinged with a dramatic regret.
Dark Feather lowered his head, clutching the Fallen Heaven in his hand.
This Magic Armament was given to her by the monster in front of her.
Using the power of the Fallen Heaven, she fought today as Black Magical Girl.
Now that things have come to this, it's ridiculous to claim to be a champion of justice and hypocritically cooperate with her Magic girl.
"You never intended to help me fulfill my wish in the first place, did you?"
At this moment, Dark Feather's tone was not very emotional; he simply raised his head calmly, as if he had already figured out the reality.
Faced with her questioning, Rainbow Snake no longer used a mocking tone, as if he had removed the mask of a clown.
"Certainly."
Amidst the roar of the torrential rain, even the Monster's voice was not loud, merely a slight ripple in the waves.
Then, Dark Feather clenched her fists slightly, as if her emotions were surging, or as if she had been relieved.
Dark Feather looked at the other Magic girls:
"Next, I'm going to settle accounts with it. If it wants to beat me up, we can talk about that later, okay?"
Currently, besides Silver Feather and Phantom Wind, she is considered the strongest. Now, facing the same enemy Rainbow Snake Black Death Cult, she is naturally a powerful ally.
Phantom Wind looked at her for a while.
Dark Feather felt Phantom Wind's gaze and was prepared to face harsh or sarcastic words, but unexpectedly, Phantom Wind only said one sentence.
"I saw what you just did, thank you anyway."
"... Thanks?"
Dark Feather was initially confused.
Then, she thought about what she had just done.
Is "Phantom Wind" referring to... escaping with Haihara- san?
Although it was actually Haihara who saved her.
However, instead of wasting time on this nonsense...
They all quickly looked at the strange, holy Monster in the rain, which resembled a dragon.
This form no longer endlessly summoned the ghosts of Monster as it had before.
Because its mere existence is already the greatest threat.
When Magic girls and Monster appeared on the battlefield, the battle did not begin immediately. It seemed that everyone was waiting for the school in the downpour to fall completely silent. They listened quietly to the sound of the rain and looked at each other, who were soaked by the rain.
As this scene almost froze in the rain, Phantom Wind gently reached out to the armband, pulled it open, and then pressed it back on.
"Phantom Wind - Gale."
The wind blew her whole body away, and the raindrops splashed to one side.
