Chapter 292

She looked up and saw a Monster with a style she had never seen before.

The first thing that catches the eye is the enormous pair of wings, their colors as alluring and dangerous as fresh flowers, with buds growing at the very tips, and faintly shedding the pungent powder of the flowers.

Its body resembles a long, thick bamboo stalk or a cactus, withered and hard, extending out thorny legs that are densely distributed like a centipede.

Its long neck connects to a lizard head that is ugly and terrifying, yet has a plant-like texture.

What kind of Monster is this...?

Flower?

Behind its wings, Star Flower saw an ugly, five-pointed star-shaped flower in full bloom.

It reminded her of a plant called rhinoceros horn.

However, its dragon-like appearance also makes it seem like a Serpent System Monster.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the sudden appearance of this Monster will definitely cause them some disruption.

"Don't think about the past..."

Star Flower quickly made up her mind. She raised her Magic Wand above her head, and instantly, Magic Power light transformed into several flowers of light, all pointing at the Monster flying towards the fiery ruins.

The next instant, beams of light emerged from several flower-shaped cannons and shot towards the strange, unusual Monster.

"---Sizzle."

As the beam of light pierced the air, the sound of everything pointing to the same point confirmed that the strike had hit its mark precisely.

However, the results were not ideal.

When the smoke cleared, Star Flower saw the Monster's petal wings... completely unharmed.

As expected.

With her strength, Star Flower only wanted to stall her opponent for a little while longer.

However, to her surprise, the Monster did not attack immediately. Instead, it stopped in mid-air and, upon seeing Star Flower, respectfully bowed in the air as a greeting.

"Huh? What a polite Monster gentleman."

Star Flower also revealed a bright smile, gently patting her Magic Wand with one hand, floating in the air on illusory flowers of Magic Power.

On the Monster's body, tiny red dots, resembling the digestive glands of a sundew, lit up like eerie lamps.

[My apologies for just now. I didn't even notice that you are a special Magic girl who possesses the power of the Demon King and is acknowledged by Demon King.]

Its voice was dry and hoarse, as if it contained something, giving it the impression of a venomous snake.

Then, the enormous, carnivorous, plant-like dragon slowly flapped its wings and bowed to the tiny figure of the girl before it.

[You may call me Rhinoceros Horn Dragon Black Death Cult, Your Highness.]

What's this Monster up to?

Star Flower couldn't understand a single word it said, and she couldn't understand anything about being recognized by the Demon King. When had she ever been involved with the Demon King?

"I don't know what you're talking about, but you want to go over there, right? If you'd like, please stay here and play with me for a while."

She smiled, but her eyes were very serious.

Beneath their feet was a raging fire, while in the smoke-filled sky came the sound of Rhinoceros Horn Dragon flapping their giant wings.

The Rhinoceros Horn Dragon narrowed its eyes slightly.

Then, it grinned, revealing an ugly, cunning smile.

[I'm sorry, my companions over there are still waiting for me... Please allow me to return and obey Your Highness's orders after I have completed my mission.]

With that, it disregarded the presence of the Star Flower in front of it and flew directly towards the battlefield.

This Monster is definitely not ordinary.

Not only is he a combat-oriented Black Death Cult, but he is also Serpent System Monster with obvious Flower features.

The Serpent System Black Death Cult... just that description is enough to give anyone a headache.

"This is troublesome."

Star Flower sighed.

In this situation, as an ordinary Magic girl, she is of no use at all.

She had no choice but to go ahead and remind the president and the others.

Just as she was about to fly down and go find the president and the others, the situation she thought was hopeless took a turn for the better.

Her gaze swept across the distant sky, and she noticed a cross-shaped beam of blood-red light hurtling toward her at an incredible speed against the dark gray backdrop.

Behind her, a golden flash was chasing after her.

That figure... could it be...?

Flames and fierce winds swept across the ruins, sending waves of oppressive heat through them, eroding the skin of both Magic girls and Monster.

The most striking feature was the tornado at the center of the battlefield, which attracted the surrounding flames and stretched from the earth to the horizon, illuminating almost half of the sky.

At the eye of the typhoon was the Magic girl, Phantom Wind, wielding a spiral spear.

A hurricane was constantly raging behind her, dominating this chaotic battlefield with absolute power, transforming her from a passive position at the beginning to completely controlling the rhythm and direction.

The girl's dark, ghostly pupils gazed at the remaining Snowy Owl Black Death Cult on the field.

She slightly curled the corners of her lips—

"What's wrong? You can't create any more clones? If you only have this much left, you won't last much longer."

Even so.

Just as she was speaking, a gust of wind, like an air cannon, suddenly erupted in an empty, deserted place, tearing the ground apart and accompanied by a terrifying explosion.

"---Bang!"

Suddenly, fragments of the Snowy Owl Black Death Cult's body appeared in what had previously appeared to be an empty place.

That's right, the Mirage Dragon Black Death Cult can not only create illusionary clones, but also hide the existence of its true clones.

If it weren't for the fact that she's Wind System Magic girl who can use the wind to sense the opponent's presence, she probably would have been in a really tough fight.

Now, she also has no idea how many clones the Snowy Owl Black Death Cult can create.

If we calculate it, there are still about twenty people left on the field.

Phantom Wind wiped the ash from his cheek.

It's been a long time since I've had such an intense battle, and my body is definitely a bit rusty again.

"Um?"

Just as she was about to continue dealing with those two annoying guys, she noticed a powerful Magic Power aura rapidly approaching her.

What troublesome fellow is it this time?

And... it seems to be Serpent System.

She looked up and felt her vision, which had been illuminated by the firelight, suddenly darken. A strange Monster with an aura somewhat similar to that of the Rainbow Snake Black Death Cult spread out a pair of giant wings, its centipede-like long tail swaying continuously, and slowly dropping pollen that shimmered with bright light.

Its dark, withered body obscured the sky, making it appear to be about seven or eight meters in size on the ground.

"... What the hell is this thing?"

Phantom Wind felt that this thing could only be fought by activating its Serpent System form.

Given the current situation, there's no way to fight another Serpent System Black Death Cult while already facing two formidable opponents.

The Snowy Owl Black Death Cult and the Mirage Dragon Black Death Cult finally received the long-awaited aid.

[Coo-coo, finally here... Rhinoceros Horn Dragon, my friend, come help us get rid of this troublesome Magic girl, Phantom Wind.]

The Rhinoceros Horn Dragon Black Death Cult, as a Serpent System Monster, is the strongest Black Death Cult besides "that one" among all of them.

After all, it is of the same lineage as one of the existing Demon King and will receive blessings and favors.

If we disregard resurrection abilities and other complex capabilities, its combat power is even greater than that of the Chameleon.

The Rhinoceros Horn Dragon Black Death Cult didn't waste any more words. Instead, it raised an arm, and the flower bud on one of its wings opened, gathering the Magic Power inside into its open palm, condensing into a dark purple light bullet.

The Magic Power light radiated outwards in lines, tearing through the surrounding air and splitting the oncoming waves of fire.

[Well then, Magic girl Phantom Wind, please accept this gift for our first meeting.]

The Rhinoceros Horn Dragon Black Death Cult flew high in the air.

The Magic Power orb in its hand continued to gather and grow larger; if it were to be dropped, it could destroy the entire street and then blast away dozens of meters below.

Phantom Wind wanted to leave quickly, but soon, the sky above her head was blocked by a dense swarm of Snowy Owl Black Death Cult with their wings spread wide.

Are they trying to force her to take this hit head-on?

Magic girl Phantom Wind took out her Fang Crystal, ready to clash head-on with her opponent. However, just as the Rhinoceros Horn Dragon was preparing its final attack, ready to unleash a ball of light...

"Get out of here."

A cold, low, hoarse scream from a young girl.

A crimson flash streaked across the dark sky; only the Phantom Wind could catch a glimpse of this swift figure. It was the moment when a Magic girl in dark red armor wielded a giant Cross Nail and slammed it directly into the Rhinoceros Horn Dragon's body.

With a resounding "bang," the Rhinoceros Horn Dragon was abruptly interrupted from its spellcasting and was sent flying, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

After that, the blood-red shadow that suddenly appeared landed on the ground, its foot skimming the earth to slow it down, until it kicked up a long plume of dust.

With a "click".

As the speed came to a stop, a Magic girl planted Cross Nail in her hand into the ruins.

Without a doubt, it is Thousand Sins.

She had no injuries, but her Magic Gear was inevitably a bit dirty, clearly indicating that she had just been in battle and was quite tired.

Behind her, Star Flower followed closely behind.

"Thank you so much, you two."

Seeing that the two had finished dealing with their own matters and arrived, Phantom Wind breathed a sigh of relief.

Thousand Sins slightly raised his head and looked towards a spot in the sky:

"No, I'm sorry... I'm a little late because it took me a while to get rid of a troublesome guy."

Of all the Magic girls present, she was the only one who failed to arrive immediately.

Because she was being harassed by a strange, inexplicable Monster.

Soon, all the Magic girls saw a golden flash appear in the sky, like a star in the night sky, illuminating a large area of darkness.

It was even more dazzling than flames.

However, once the light fades, it's not as beautiful anymore.

It was a large, golden bird with mottled, uneven feathers, clearly having lost many, and one of its arms was broken.

[Magic Girl Thousand Sins... How dare you blaspheme against the gods...]

The Monster's tone betrayed an uncontrollable rage.

Aside from its battle with the Overlord back then, it had never been so disheveled.

Thousand Sins, however, looked completely uninterested.

"Are these so-called gods really so vulnerable?"

If she hadn't felt the situation was critical and didn't want to waste time, she wouldn't have kept this opponent around; she would have taken a little more time to eliminate him.

The opponent is indeed a formidable adversary.

She's probably as strong as three or four Rainbow Feather seniors combined.

After teasing her opponent and enraging Garuda to the point of blazing fury, making him radiate like a mini sun, Thousand Sins noticed something amiss. She looked around but couldn't see Kirishima Ai nearby.

"Where is the Fate Kite?"

She was somewhat confused.

Are you still doing your homework?

Moreover, what's the deal with this sea of fire?
