Chapter 218
In the end, her face turned into a pale mask.
Clearly, this is a Monster.
Nothing like this had ever happened in the hundreds of years this woman had been imprisoned—a Monster had somehow evaded the detection Magic and fooled the guards to enter.
The Monster looked respectfully at the imprisoned Magic girl:
"I am Monster with the ability to transform, trained by your subordinates. I just disguised myself as a Magic girl named Nightingale and successfully evaded the detection Magic."
This is its true identity: a Monster with the ability to shapeshift, while the real Nightingale is still far away in Nightingale Town, completely unaware that she has been impersonated.
This Monster disguised as Nightingale, although in its Perfect Form, does not possess the powerful combat abilities of other Monster.
However, it possesses unique abilities, even capable of deceiving the prison's detection Magic and disguising itself as a genuine Magic girl.
"Now, the time is ripe, Lord Belial. Please convey your new decree to us."
The imprisoned Magic girl remained completely unmoved when faced with her own people, whom she hadn't encountered in hundreds of meters.
"Is the time ripe...?"
She seemed to ponder these words for a moment, but then gave a cold laugh.
The first Black Magical Girl raised her head and said in a deep voice:
"Very good."
"If that's the case, then go to Earth, find the remaining power I have there, and awaken it."
By this time, Belial had been dead for hundreds of years.
The only thing that could truly be considered her own was the portion of her power and soul that she relinquished before her death.
As long as that part of her soul remains, she has a chance to be resurrected.
Sooner or later, she will make Queen R'lyeh, who sealed her away, and the entire R'lyeh Kingdom pay the price.
Hundreds of years ago, she had already made preparations in advance, sealing a portion of her power in a sufficiently powerful Crystal.
She continued:
"Then, once she awakens, she will become a suitable vessel for my resurrection."
Just like Demon King seeking hosts in the human world.
Belial's resurrection also requires finding a sufficiently excellent vessel capable of withstanding her power.
After hearing her words, the Monster lowered his head.
"A suitable vessel... Then, how do we find the vessel that houses your power?"
Clearly, a powerful Magic girl like Belial cannot be used as a vessel for power by just any ordinary person.
Just like the vessel for the Demon King, it's one in a million.
However, this was not a problem for Belial.
She slowly raised her eyes, revealing a pair of crimson, molten lava-like eyes in the darkness, appearing exceptionally deep:
"I have found that thing among the souls and remnants of my followers on Earth; it was discovered to have appeared on Earth just a few months ago."
Belial said.
In her mind, the image of a silver-white girl slowly emerged.
However, amidst the sea of fire, the girl's figure changed once more, her feathers turning into an ashen gray-black.
"---That piece... the Crystal of a Magic girl named Silver White Feather."
Chapter Twenty-Four: The Beginning of Silver Feather
Today, R'lyeh Magic Academy held a grand farewell ceremony.
As for the specific content of the ceremony, it was to bid farewell to R'lyeh's newest Magic girl who was going to Earth.
This ceremony was supposed to be held a few months ago, but on that occasion, Dean Roland changed the person chosen to go to Earth, so they did not hold such an event for the representative at the time Takanashi Shiori.
The farewell ceremony at the R'lyeh Academy Square has concluded, and most of the Magic girl apprentices have returned to the academy to continue their studies.
Meanwhile, in Dean Roland's office, standing before Roland was the Magic girl who was about to be sent to Earth.
As Roland held a copy of "Lilith's Secret Garden" and read, he gently squeezed his teacup and said softly:
"Cangyue Yuri, the task assigned to you this time is much more demanding than before."
She called out the Magic girl's name.
In front of Roland's desk stood a tall, slender young woman with a cool and aloof demeanor.
Compared to ordinary apprentices, she wore a smart, tailcoat-like chief's outfit, and her eyebrows and eyes were slightly cold and aloof, giving the impression of a beautiful woman dressed as a man.
Most of her hair was styled thin and short, with the ends falling down like a wolf's tail, without the elaborate decorations of other Magic girls.
"Yes, Dean Roland, please give your instructions."
Cangyue lowered her head.
This girl is none other than the top Magic girl of the Moon Academy.
She is recognized by the R'lyeh Academy as the most talented Magic girl, having already advanced to the Sacred Domain at such a young age, possessing strength greater than many of the academy's instructors.
Roland also always held her in high regard.
"First of all, as mentioned before, the Overlord's Magic Armament are about to reappear on Earth, and with your help, Shiori and the others may find it much easier to complete this mission."
As time goes by, the moment when the legendary Magic Armament prophesied to reappear is drawing ever closer.
At that time, it is only natural that many people will try to steal that power.
Upon hearing this, the Moon Academy Chief simply listened quietly.
And Roland continued;
"Secondly, based on recent divination and investigations, we have discovered that, in addition to the Black Death Cult, there are other troublesome forces entrenched in Maple Plain City."
"This could create danger in Maple Plain City."
As he said this, Roland raised his head, a slight smile on his face, and looked at the Moon Academy Chief.
This Moon Academy Chief has very rare silver hair and blue eyes; if one had to describe him, he might resemble a lone wolf in the Snowfield.
Especially those long, narrow, and cold eyes.
Some people may find these eyes familiar, or even uncomfortable.
"That is... a power belonging to the Magic girl Belial, confirmed to be lurking in this city, and possibly brewing some kind of conspiracy in the shadows."
When she mentioned Belial's name, the Moon Academy Chief's expression wavered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
Roland naturally noticed this wavering.
Soon, she heard a response from Yuri:
"I will do everything in my power to defeat the Monster and Belial's henchmen, and make these evil people get what they deserve."
The girl's response was rigid and earnest.
Dean Roland, on the other hand, scrutinized her with great interest, recalling things about this Moon Academy Chief.
As the Moon Academy Chief, Cangyue not only possesses formidable strength but also harbors a strong desire to eliminate Monster and Black Magical Girl.
Just like when they went to Earth before, it was Cangyue herself who took the initiative to suggest it.
However, the spot was ultimately given to Takanashi.
As for the academy, Cangyue is quite popular, being a tall and beautiful woman with the appearance of a prince and the personality of a lone wolf.
Although in some ways she has very serious personality flaws...
Roland put down his book and teacup, then looked at the files belonging to Cangyue Yuri on his desk.
Then, she stood up, put her hands behind her back, and walked to Cangyue's side.
"Very good."
She gently raised her hand, and a scepter inlaid with gemstones appeared in her hand, which then rested on Cangyue's shoulder.
Cangyue remained unmoved, quietly awaiting Roland's appointment.
Roland smiled slightly:
"Therefore, I hereby formally appoint you to go to Earth as the new Magic Girl of Maple Plain City."
Cangyue slowly opened her eyes.
"Yes."
She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Next, Cangyue will travel to Earth to assist Takanashi and the others in defeating the Black Death Cult Organization and other Villain Organization.
However, before that...
The Crown Rank Magic known as the Lord Gemstone Princess casually toyed with her cane, as if recalling something, and then lightly tapped the ground with it.
Roland strolled leisurely around Cangyue, like a noble, languid cat with its chest puffed out.
"Speaking of which, Yuri, a few months ago, when I informed you that the person to go to Earth had been temporarily changed to Shiori, you came to question me, didn't you?"
When Takanashi became the new Magic girl sent to Earth, many people questioned Roland's decision.
This also includes Cangyue, who was originally chosen.
After a moment of silence, Cangyue Yuri nodded.
"Although Shiori has talent that is no less than yours, and perhaps even better, my sudden choice of her wasn't entirely due to that reason."
Both Roland and Cangyue understood one thing from beginning to end.
Originally considered a loser by everyone, Takanashi Shiori possesses terrifying potential and talent, but she has been limited by unsuitable Crystal and Magic Wand for some reason.
To be honest, Takanashi is completely unsuitable to be Bird System Magic girl.
However, as Roland said, this is not the main reason.
Cangyue heard Roland say:
"Also because, at that time, she possessed Broken Wing."
Broken Wing?
Upon hearing this, Cang Moonlit raised her head.
Most Magic girls R'lyeh know this name; Bird System Magic Armament called Broken Wing, and it was the first Magic Armament of the Overlord.
This Magic Armament originally belonged to Takanashi.
However, given Takanashi's situation at the time, Broken Wing did not choose her, but instead chose an ordinary Earth girl.
To be honest, although Takanashi has never talked about this, it must be a very sad fact for Takanashi.
Then, Roland mentioned something that completely surprised Cangyue—
"Furthermore, when Shiori first arrived on Earth, she was attacked by an unknown evil force other than the Black Death Cult, and even lost her Broken Wing for a time."
Upon hearing this, Cangyue was stunned for a moment, and her eyes widened slightly.
There was no doubt that Roland's words had confused and surprised her.
Villain Organization other than the Black Death Cult? They actually attacked the Magic girl R'lyeh who had just arrived on Earth?
Moreover, in Cangyue's view, the loss of the Broken Wing was a problem that was far more serious than ordinary.
After all, that was once the Overlord's Magic Armament.
If it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it could lead to unimaginable disaster.
However, this raises another question.
"So, how was the Magical Girl Silver Feather born...?"
Cangyue raised her head and asked, puzzled.
Given that Takanashi herself was attacked, the only Magic girl active in Maple Plain City at that time was likely Magic Star Flower.
How did Kirishima Ai, the user of the Silver Feather transformation, obtain the Transformation Crystal as an ordinary Earth girl?
