Chapter 220
Like a lone wolf in the dead of winter, howling at a solitary star in the dark night, enough to terrify any weak beast.
A sharp clang of a blade severed the wolf's howl, plunging everything back into silence.
"---Draw."
That was the sound of a blade slicing through the air.
It wasn't fierce; it was just a light swing that cut through the air. The person wielding the knife clearly didn't use any force.
However, this attack shattered the illusory full moon into a crescent moon.
The next moment, the smoke and ripples created by the attack instantly transformed into a giant wave of air that crashed back towards the Bird-type Monster.
A deafening roar.
"----Bang!"
The Bird-type Monster was instantly stopped by this attack and flew outwards.
The smoke has now dissipated from where Cangyue Yuri was standing.
The Roland hem of her skirt billowed in the smoke and dust.
The young girl, wearing the general's long boots, walked out step by step from the smoke of battle.
"Smoke signals—a fierce cry!"
Her demeanor carried the arrogance of a winter wolf.
Emerging from the smoke of battle is a Magic girl dressed in a Magic Gear uniform.
The silver and purple tones create an elegant and dignified military uniform. A collar binds her neck, with a long chain trailing behind, and the chain is wrapped around one arm.
On her other shoulder, a long black shawl fluttered and danced like a cape.
"Magic Girl Moon Slasher - Shadow Wolf".
A silver-haired, blue-eyed Magic girl in military uniform, with a figure and aura far exceeding that of ordinary people, wielding her weapon, walked through the smoke and towards the Monster:
"If that's all there is to it, then you've chosen the wrong opponent."
This is the Magic girl that Cangyue Yuri transforms into.
Her Magic Armament artifacts transformed into a Magic Bow with two blades forming its bow.
In this form, she is confident that she will not lose even when facing multiple Perfect Form enemies.
After the Bird-type Monster was blasted away, Monster quickly crawled out from the rubble it had crashed into. Clearly, the attack hadn't been enough to seriously injure a Monster of its caliber.
Moreover, the other strange Monster were also ready to launch their own attacks.
Before the naked eye could react, several Monsters had already launched an attack on the lone Moon Slasher at terrifying speeds.
However, faced with the combined attack of the four Monsters, the Magic girl Moon Slasher merely raised her Magic Bow.
"Let's go through them."
Then, Magic Power gathered between his fingers, extending from the string all the way to the bow, and somehow formed a Magic Power arrow.
When the bowstring is drawn back to its fullest extent, the arrow is released.
The Magic Power arrow hurtled towards the Monster like a meteor, and during its flight, it quickly split into several smaller arrows.
In the next instant, before the strange Monster in the air even had a chance to react, arrows of Magic Power swiftly struck them, followed by a deafening explosion.
After the attack hit, Moon Slasher did not stop, but leaped towards the nearest Monster.
She raised her Magic Bow, gathered her Magic Power on the blade, and then unleashed a slash accompanied by Lunar Magic Power.
Like a wolf's bite, a large chunk was instantly torn apart from the Perfect Form Monster.
The shockwave from this attack cleaved the station floor several meters deep, extending from the train all the way to the station exit.
Seeing such power, the strange Monster finally seemed to feel a sense of apprehension.
"More powerful than I imagined... Magic Girl Moon Slasher."
They already had some idea of what Magic girl Moon Slasher's strength was like.
After all, she is a true Magic girl from the Sacred Domain.
However, the Magic girl Moon Slasher's actual strength is far more terrifying than they imagined.
If it weren't for the fact that Magic Girl Phantom Wind and Thousand Sins had already refreshed their understanding of the strength of the Sacred Domain before this, they would probably be truly astonished at this moment.
Next, the battle between the Magic girl Moon Slasher and the Monster begins.
The destructive power of the battle between the Sacred Domain Magic Girl and the Perfect Form Monster is theoretically enough to turn this underground station upside down.
However, because R'lyeh Station was protected by a special barrier, and because Moon Slasher himself was doing his best to prevent the station from collapsing, even with the intense fighting, the entire station was not destroyed.
After a period of fighting, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the original station was now engulfed in flames.
Of the four Monsters, two were severely injured in the recent battle, and the third has almost lost the ability to fight.
However, even the Magic girl Moon Slasher wasn't entirely unscathed.
She also suffered many injuries that would be considered severe by ordinary standards.
However, it was nothing to Moon Slasher.
"Are you going to surrender?"
Magic girl Moon Slasher looked at the group of Monster with an air of complete ease.
These Monster people were also stronger than she had imagined.
And even now, they still seem determined to fight to the very end.
It would indeed be a difficult task for her to easily eliminate all these Monster here.
"Of course not, in fact, this is just the beginning. Let's get right to it..."
The Bird-type Monster, Kukuku, was laughing, but before he could finish speaking, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred in the underground station.
Moon Slasher noticed it as well, of course.
It was the scent of flowers.
The fragrance of the flowers, like an overflowing perfume, stirred the mind, yet also revealed an unusually terrifying crisis.
What... what's going on?
This aura forced even the Magic girl Moon Slasher to become more vigilant, as her intuition told her that something extremely dangerous had appeared nearby.
This entity doesn't seem to be under the control of this group of Monster either.
The Bird-type Monster, who had been arrogantly eager to continue fighting, suddenly shook its head:
"... No."
"Let's end today's battle here, Magic Girl Moon Slasher."
After the Monster finished speaking, the group of Monster seemed to genuinely no longer want to fight and took a few steps back.
The injured Monster didn't care at all about the wound he had just Moon Slasher; he followed the other Monster like a lifeless machine.
Magic girl Moon Slasher wields Magic Bow, but instead of holding it as a bow, she swings it slightly backward, adopting a blade-like stance.
Her eyes were slightly closed, and her expression was icy.
"You suddenly appeared here and attacked me, then suddenly said you wanted to leave. Do you think I'd let you go?"
These Monster, for some unknown reason, learned the location of this station and then waited there in advance for her arrival.
She's not stupid.
Even if she couldn't find out from these Monster how they knew this information, she didn't intend to let Monster get away so easily.
During the recent battle, she did manage to figure out a bit about the origins of these Monsters.
--It has the aura of dark Magic.
"Hmph, now it's not a question of whether you'll let us go or not, Magic Girl Moon Slasher."
The Monster, Kukuku, let out a cold laugh.
"You don't seem to have figured out what's going on..."
It said meaningfully.
Immediately afterwards, the Monster stirred up a cloud of smoke, blocking their vision from the Magic girl Moon Slasher. Just as the Monster were about to escape, Moon Slasher was about to stop them when she smelled a floral fragrance.
This time, the fragrance of the flowers was particularly pungent, and she coughed twice.
When she opened her eyes, a hazy pink mist appeared before her, and unknowingly, many tender shoots grew vigorously from the cracks in the station ruins.
Distracted by the recent burst of floral mist, Magic Girl Moon Slasher's consciousness began to blur, and she didn't even have time to care whether those Monsters had escaped.
However, deep within the fog, she vaguely saw a figure.
It seemed to be the figure of a woman... with blooming flowers entwined around her.
Beside her floated a strange and ominous object.
It looked like a long, slender Scythe.
In this mist, the dark Scythe still glowed with an eerie green light, and the dark golden snake head at its tip seemed to remind the Magic girl Moon Slasher of something.
The black mist emanating from the Scythe quickly engulfed everything else.
Finally, the Scythe seemed to emit some kind of mysterious light, enveloping the entire body of the Magic girl Moon Slasher.
The Magic girl Moon Slasher, who had just fought four opponents single-handedly, was now completely powerless to resist.
She felt her consciousness growing increasingly faint.
Meanwhile, the power within him was being absorbed by the dark Scythe and was constantly draining away.
What exactly happened...?
Under these circumstances, the Magic girl Moon Slasher deactivated her transformation, and she fell forward like a puppet with a broken string.
In the end, all she remembered was the figure of the woman who exuded the fragrance of flowers, and the mysterious Scythe.
When Cangyue Yuri opened her eyes again, she felt that everything around her was not quite right.
She felt very heavy.
And there was a tearing pain.
It seems that after she reverted to her original form, the injuries she sustained in the battle with the Monster had not yet healed.
And for some reason, Cangyue Yuri felt that her body was acting strangely.
How should I put it? It looks like she's wearing very thick clothes.
And the field of vision has become somewhat strange.
When she lowered her head, she finally realized that something was wrong.
Although I'm wearing my old clothes, they seem to have shrunk several sizes.
And why are her exposed arms... so hairy?
It was all snow-white fur.
The world around me suddenly seemed much larger.
Are Earth's cities really that huge?
Suddenly, when Cangyue Yuri to speak, she realized that she could only make sounds like small animals, which sounded like "aww".
To be honest, it sounds a tiny bit like a puppy barking.
"... Huh?"
Next, Cangyue Yuri felt her mind becoming increasingly confused.
What had she just experienced?
Who is she again...? And where is this place?
But one thing seems certain.
---She turned into a puppy.
