Chapter 181
As is customary, after the Chameleon Monster is defeated, it is handled by R'lyeh's Magic girls.
However, after that, the Chameleon miraculously came back to life.
"How could a Magic girl possibly impersonate a Monster? And end up becoming Black Death Cult?"
The Takanashi was incredible.
After hearing her words, Rainbow Feather smiled as if she had heard something very funny.
"Magic girl?"
"I'm sorry, actually, two years ago, when I first tried to advance to the Sacred Domain Color Feather, I failed."
She recounted with great pleasure the most terrifying things for a Magic girl.
To ascend to the Sacred Domain, Magic girl must overcome the Monster within herself.
However, failure carries the risk of turning one into Monster.
"Back then, I didn't actually become a Sacred Domain Magic Girl at all; instead, I became Monster. I was quite shocked when I first realized that."
She burst into laughter.
It was a very sweet voice, yet it evoked an indescribable sense of madness.
"But then I suddenly realized that becoming Monster isn't such a bad thing after all."
"Color Feather, I've become a rather powerful Monster!"
Magic Girl Color Feather, like Dark Feather, is a Magic girl who can utilize various types of Magic Crystal and possesses a wide variety of abilities, much like a rainbow.
In a sense, they are the ones who need the power of Monster the most.
After becoming Monster, this ability underwent an incredible evolution.
"Color Feather can absorb the power of other Monster and make it her own, so during that time, I hunted quite a lot of bird Monster. But after that, I started to feel unsatisfied."
"Until I discovered that Chameleon Monster."
The girl's lips gradually curled up, revealing a slightly distorted smile.
Chameleon is the most powerful Serpent System Monster.
If she absorbs that Monster and becomes Serpent System as well, then she can absorb Monster of other types as well.
In the end, she succeeded.
"So, I absorbed the Chameleon Monster and became Chameleon. Since then, I've been doing all sorts of interesting things as Chameleon."
"I, I, Color Feather ~ have actually been Monster for a long time!"
The Magic girl's teasing voice, as if unable to contain her joy and excitement, eagerly told everyone everything she had done to tease them so far.
Then, as if to demonstrate the power she had just gained, a rainbow sword made of different colors floated up behind her.
"And now... I've become a Magic girl again."
Rainbow Feather pointed gently, and then...
---Several rainbow-colored swords shot towards the other Magic girls like arrows.
All the Magic girls were exhausted after the fierce battle and could only deal with the incoming lightsabers in a somewhat disheveled manner.
Among them, the most injured are the Takanashi).
As an apprentice Magic girl, even without prior combat experience, she was unable to evade attacks from the Magic girls of the Sacred Domain.
Soon, her body was covered in bloody scratches from the lightsaber.
Just then, as a lightsaber was aimed at her head and about to pierce through it, a figure pushed her aside.
"--Well..."
Takanashi stared blankly at the girl who was pulling at him, her arm scratched.
Star Flower's face showed some pain from the scratches, but she still stood up and Takanashi:
You should leave here first.
Now, Takanashi holds in her hand the Serpent System Crystal that created this nightmare world.
Furthermore, it appears that Takanashi lacks combat capabilities.
Letting the Takanashi away from this battlefield is the best course of action.
Takanashi's face was splattered with Star Flower's blood. She stared blankly at the wound on Star Flower's arm and the girl's expression of enduring pain.
She instinctively clenched the dark red Crystal in her hand, and then she heard Rainbow Feather's laughter again:
"Eh? Trying to run away, junior?"
Turning around, I saw Rainbow Feather dragging that incredibly large, dark purple Scissor Blades, leaving long scratches on the ground, as if she was deliberately making that ear-piercing sound.
Then, she raised her arm, holding the Scissor Blades high.
The next moment, before Takanashi could even react, the Scissor Blades had already swung down, and the huge shockwave from the slash was about to cleave her in two.
A wave of flames immediately blocked her path, shielding her from the fatal blow.
"Takanashi, what are you standing there for!?"
Kirishima Ai, the user of the Fate Kite, was shouting there, which made Takanashi react quickly.
Before she could even cry, Takanashi clutched the Crystal in her hand and fled the battlefield, leaving her companions behind.
Rainbow Feather watched the departing Takanashi with a hint of disappointment, but this disappointment was quickly dispelled by her mischievous pleasure in toying with her prey.
She didn't continue chasing after them, but instead looked to the side.
There was her former companion, the Magic girl Phantom Wind.
---The strongest Magic girl in Maple Plain City.
She was originally just an ordinary person born on Earth, but in the end, she became even more dazzling than R'lyeh's genius Magic girl.
"So, the opponent I've been fighting all along is you?"
Phantom Wind's tone was colder than ever before.
So far, the one who has been fighting her is none other than the Magic girl Color Feather.
Yes, that's right.
Rainbow Feather answered with a smile.
Compared to her unprecedented power immediately after her transformation, the Magic girl Phantom Wind at this moment is exhausted and covered in wounds after countless battles.
"Did you become like this because you fell into Monster?"
"So that's why you acted like Monster, hurting many people and causing such destruction to the city?"
Although their relationship wasn't great, Phantom Wind had to admit that she had indeed fought alongside the person in front of her many times.
In my memory, this girl always had a warm and beautiful smile.
However, at this moment, the laughter from those memories has been replaced by the piercing laughter of Chameleon.
After hearing Phantom Wind's words, Rainbow Feather was stunned for a moment.
She lowered her head and pondered for a while...
Then, as if suddenly realizing something, she showed a sorrowful expression:
"Back then, because of my weakness, I lost the love of my life."
"In my quest for power, I lost myself during my advancement, became uncontrollably Monster, and my personality became twisted as a result..."
Rainbow Feather suddenly said some strange things.
Phantom Wind looked utterly confused, and just then, Rainbow Feather seemed to finally burst out laughing, clutching her stomach before she could even finish speaking.
"--Is this the kind of answer you want to hear?"
The Magic girl before him, with her innocent and beautiful smile, gradually twisted, her lips curling upwards, a mocking shadow appearing on her face.
She opened one eye wide, squinted the other, and grinned as she said:
"That's how I've always been."
"The moment I transformed into Monster, I realized that what I enjoy most is toying with and trampling on others."
"I feel incredibly happy whenever I see others suffering."
"So, back then, I pretended to be Chameleon and did a lot of things."
Chameleon have many abilities.
But in reality, Chameleon don't actually have the ability to transform into other people's appearances.
From beginning to end, Kurosaki Asuka has always been her.
Kurosaki Asuka occasionally does naughty things that cause misunderstandings and disagreements among the Magic girls, which can be explained by her Chameleon disguise.
Thanks to her being Chameleon, she was able to verify Kurosaki Asuka's words while acting as Chameleon.
She has always used this method to toy with Magic girls.
Seeing the Magic girl Rainbow Feather laughing maniacally, the Magic girl Fate Kite frowned:
"Nonsense, I can't understand it."
Although she didn't understand, there was only one thing she needed to do.
She didn't say anything more, but instead aimed her gun-shaped Magic Wand at Rainbow Feather and fired bullet after bullet, then rapidly approached her in mid-air.
Fallen Heaven and Broken Wing.
Rainbow Feather and Fate Kite's Magic Wand clashed once more, but this time, Fate Kite's power was at a disadvantage.
The iridescent light burst forth from the Scissor Blades, making it increasingly difficult for Fate Kite:
"Why would someone like you become Magic girl?"
She disliked this guy from beginning to end.
She's a Magic girl from R'lyeh, just like Takanashi, and she even possesses the Magic Wand of the Overlord, just like me. Even the Magic girl she transforms into is very similar to me.
But he's such a rotten person.
"Someone like me?"
"Little Fate Kite really knows how to talk rudely."
"I am a genius Magic girl from R'lyeh, a noble savior."
As she spoke, she gently pushed the Scissor Blades forward. The next moment, the entire Scissor Blades shattered the flame blade, blasting Fate Kite away as well.
Then, as if taking a stroll in a park, Rainbow Feather walked step by step, dragging the Scissor Blades, toward the fallen Fate Kite:
"On the contrary, you are all rather strange."
"Why should I, as Magic girl saving the city, have to save those weak, stupid, and lowly ordinary people when I'm the savior from R'lyeh?"
From the very beginning, she was dismissive of the idea of coming to Earth to save the city as a Magic girl.
What is it about those weak and laughable mortals that makes them worthy of being saved by Magic girl like her?
She came here simply to kill the Monster and gain greater power, nothing more.
After easily defeating Fate Kite, Rainbow Feather turned her gaze to her true opponent.
--Magic Girl Phantom Wind.
"Little Phantom Wind, you look really disheveled. You don't look like the strongest Magic girl in Maple Plain City at all. Are you about to faint from exhaustion?"
"Look, it seems you can't even maintain your transformation."
Rainbow Feather mocked the almost immobile Phantom Wind.
After using the Serpent System Fang Trump Card form, Phantom Wind has now returned to its normal state. However, from the very beginning, even dodging the lightsaber's attacks has been difficult.
Before Phantom Wind could even react, Rainbow Feather was already in front of her.
"I've always found you an eyesore."
Rainbow Feather hated Phantom Wind to the extreme.
She was just an ordinary person at the beginning, yet she surpassed her, making Color Feather's existence pale in comparison.
