Chapter 288
This time, she didn't roar angrily, nor did she panic and make any embarrassing moves. She simply stood up slowly from the ground, like a necrotic doll.
When the alarm sounded for the appearance of the Monster, the battle between the Magical Girl Silver Feather... or rather, something else, and the Monster had already begun.
The residential area has been protected.
But in the deserted areas, the flames burned everything, turning the streets into desolate scorched earth.
Amidst the raging flames, a figure resembling the embodiment of hell rose to her feet. Each Feather Wing on her wings was like a sharp, menacing nail capable of tearing apart Monster's body, illuminating a ghostly, clawing shadow in the flames.
With one hand, she tore off the Mirage Dragon's tail, and she herself emerged from the flames of hell.
The girl wore a pale mask over her face.
Now, perhaps we can no longer call her Magical Girl Silver Feather.
Rather, it's another name for this Monster...
---- Black Death Cult, Hell Phoenix.
Chapter 81 All Parties
Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the street, perhaps because the nearby residents were already asleep, no one noticed that it was shrouded in deep shadows. In the shadows, there were not only blinking eyes, but also gaping, blood-red mouths.
On the ground lay a withered, limp corpse. Judging from the remaining remains, the monster barely possessed any humanity, except that its spine was swollen and deformed, and its thighs and upper arms were abnormally developed.
Its most peculiar feature is that it has three necks.
However, two of them had already been swallowed whole, and the remaining one could barely be identified as the head of a hunting dog, most of which had been bitten off by the monsters in the darkness.
Tentacles made of shadow wrapped around the Monster, lifting it up completely.
"So, tell me, what was your motive for attacking me?"
That lazy woman's voice belonged to Haihara.
She stared at the still-breathing Hellhound Monster with her dull black pupils and questioned it casually.
The opponent's vitality is extremely strong; under these circumstances,
[Another... Demon King? How could that be?]
The Hellhound Black Death Cult's tone was full of disbelief.
You mean the other one?
Haihara curiously pinched her chin.
That's quite an intriguing statement.
Then, the Hellhound seemed to realize it had let something slip, so it shut its mouth tightly. Haihara noticed this and let the dense array of sharp teeth in the darkness continue to gnaw at the Monster, causing it to let out a series of shrill screams.
This kind of forced interrogation has been going on since just now.
The story begins a few minutes earlier.
Shortly after parting ways with Silver Feather, she felt as if she were being followed by a Monster. Since she couldn't immediately identify what kind of Monster it was, she deliberately waited for the other party to attack, intending to capture it alive.
However, this Monster remained defiant to the death, refusing to utter a word no matter how many heads she tore off.
Strangely, when this Monster came to her, she initially thought he had sensed the Magic Power within her, but later realized that he seemed to be attacking her as if she were an ordinary person.
After tormenting him several times, Haihara realized that this Monster was constantly defying her orders, so she simply and decisively killed him.
After that, the shadowy tentacles burrowed into the Monster's body and retrieved a Crystal from within.
"Hmm? This is..."
The moment Haihara saw the Crystal, she felt like she had seen them somewhere before.
It seems that in Lilith's memory, there were several other Crystal like this.
Just as she was about to examine the thing more closely, Haihara suddenly heard a loud bang that could not be ignored. When she looked up, she saw dark red flames spreading into the sky from the distant street, staining the snow clouds.
Seeing this, Haihara thought for a moment, then took out her phone from her pocket and quickly searched for her contacts.
"Kougami, yes, it's me."
In the distance, explosion after explosion illuminated the sky and shone the lights of several nearby residential buildings. The commotion was so great that it seemed even the previous Monster incidents could hardly compare.
Haihara called Kougami Kage and gave him a brief instruction:
"I'll be there in a little while, don't worry about me..."
The hellfire raged through the streets, turning the once peaceful night scene into a scorching apocalyptic landscape. Anyone who got close to it would be suffocated by the intense heat.
The alarm for the Monster incident blared throughout the residential area, prompting nearby residents to evacuate quickly.
Fortunately, the perpetrator maintained basic composure and controlled the direction of the flames, preventing them from spreading and causing a fire.
However, the others who suffered burns in the fire were not so fortunate.
[Coo coo coo!]
The snow-white feathers of the Snowy Owl Black Death Cult were stained with flames, almost causing the fire to spread. It desperately tried to extinguish the flames, but every time it lowered the surrounding temperature a little, the flames would surge even further.
Compared to this, the flames of the Fate Kite are nothing but child's play.
At that moment, a figure that resembled both Monster and a Magic girl emerged from the flames.
Behind her were charred wings, and her entire body was covered in ash-like demonic Magic Gear, while a deep, eerie flame flickered within her pale mask.
The two Monster confronting her both retreated.
[Damn it, where did that Hellhound guy go? I had to use an illusion to fool him just now, but this Silver Feather is really crazy enough...]
Snowy Owl Black Death Cult wiped the sweat from his forehead as it melted.
Now it understands why Silver Feather would send three Black Death Cult to deal with it.
Neither it nor the other Black Death Cult Mirage Dragon are the type that excels in combat.
The Mirage Dragon's greatest ability is to create illusions.
After losing contact with Hellhound, it was used to create the illusion that the woman had been killed, so that Silver Feather would lose control and reveal its true nature.
The problem is, the results seem a little too good.
The two of them are no match for a single combat-oriented Black Death Cult.
Suddenly, Silver Feather... This Black Death Cult, known as the Hell Phoenix, was still unable to shake off the despairing scene he had just witnessed.
She held her head in her hands, and walked unsteadily.
Why...?
Silver Feather's gaze was as dark as death.
What should she do?
The image of that woman lying in a pool of blood kept flashing through her mind, making it impossible for her to think clearly and rekindle her rationality.
The girl took one step at a time, no longer like a Magic girl, but like herself at the moment of her birth.
That's right, that's exactly it.
She remembers that's how it all started: terrifying, crazy, bizarre, with alarms blaring, children crying, and adults shouting—all sounds of fear, terror, and hatred.
Now, she's at a loss again.
Silver Feather stopped and looked at the two Black Death Cult. Seeing them retreat, the girl exhaled a scorching breath.
... What's there to be afraid of?
She suddenly felt confused.
Isn't this exactly what they wanted to see?
Her pale mask seemed shrouded in gloom.
After witnessing what had just happened, Silver Feather was utterly devastated and couldn't think of anything.
When a crack appeared in her heart, she could no longer maintain her Magic girl mask, revealing her true appearance, which she loathed.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
All she wanted now was for these two Monsters to burn in the flames of hell and suffer terribly, and she didn't care what method she used or how ugly they looked.
In the dead of night, the alarm blared throughout most of the city, naturally waking up the Magic girls who should have been resting. Among them, the first to react was probably Kazama Kiriori, whose home was nearby.
This situation was, of course, very unusual. The Monster's actions were initially very covert, and even the usually reliable detection from the Doctor failed to detect anything this time.
Kazama Kiriori hurriedly buttoned up her clothes and picked up the transformation Magic Armament and Crystal from her desk.
If she remembered correctly, her mother had said she was going to have drinks with Teacher Suzuki around there tonight?
As she gazed at the massive fire, Kazama Kiriori's unease grew stronger.
Regardless, let's go check it out first.
Almost immediately, Magic girl Phantom Wind flew out of the window, leaping out like a light arrow, heading towards the direction where the fire had started.
Of all the Magic girls, Phantom Wind is the fastest.
Even the Fang Trump Card form isn't as fast as the base form of Phantom Wind.
So, less than a minute after she set off, she noticed another companion who was also heading there, a Magic girl named Fate Kite who looked anxious and uneasy.
"Kirishima?"
She looked at the Magic girl, Fate Kite, and for some reason, she didn't seem to have rushed over.
Magic Girl Fate Kite also looked surprised:
"Senpai Kazama?"
She ran into Kirishima Ai was flying over there.
Phantom Wind saw Kirishima Ai's appearance, she immediately sensed that the other person seemed different from the "Kirishima Ai" she had been seeing at school these past few days; she was the Kirishima Ai she originally knew.
The other person looked uneasy, as if they knew exactly what had happened there.
In the Magic girl group chat, the idol said she would be there soon.
However, there's only Takanashi, and for some reason, there's been no news about it...
However, there was no time to think about that now. She grabbed Fate Kite's hand and led her to the scene as quickly as possible. Mingyuan quickly realized this and chose to cooperate.
During the journey, Phantom Wind asked:
"Kirishima, do you know what's really going on over there?"
Recalling the events of the past few days, and the worried look on Kirishima Ai's face just now, she vaguely felt that there might be some connection between them.
Fate Kite lowered her head, unable to give an answer for a moment.
Her eyes were fixed on the approaching fire in the distance. Although she knew nothing about the situation there, she had a vague intuition that it was related to Silver Feather.
What is going on.
While the other Magic girls were rushing to the scene of the midnight Monster incident, only Takanashi Shiori encountered a problem just as she was about to set off.
To be precise, it was in the park.
At this hour tonight, she hadn't gone home yet, but was instead strolling around the park. So, the moment the Monster alarm went off, she transformed and prepared to leave. However, an uninvited guest appeared right in front of her.
He was a Monster.
Although he's Monster, this alarm shouldn't be related to him, since there are no signs of damage here, and the fire in the distance doesn't seem to be caused by him.
But the other party was undoubtedly looking for him.
Well, how should I put it?
This guy looks like a formidable opponent.
In Takanashi's memory, the only Monster could create this sense of oppression was the Chameleon Black Death Cult.
Although the Rainbow Snake Black Death Cult is still a bit lacking.
