Chapter 295
At first, Garuda struggled desperately and tried to unleash a burst of Magic Power light, but each time it was like a fire going out of control, with only a faint flame appearing before it was extinguished by black smoke.
It showed an obvious sign of pain.
Then the struggle gradually became futile.
Until its struggles slowed, it was suddenly put down by the woman and fell awkwardly to the ground.
Garuda coughed violently a few times, proving that it was not yet killed.
But just as it had half-risen and was about to lift its head to look at the woman, a beautiful hand wrapped in black gauze covered Garuda's face.
Its vision was blocked, and it couldn't see anything.
What is this...?
The Moon Monster's other hand merely crushed a piece of Crystal.
A Lunar "Hellhound" Crystal.
[ --Cerberus.]
The Magic Power of the Lunar began to transform into a faint light in the darkness, gathering on the outstretched arm of the moon Monster and emitting a dim glow on its hand.
However, the voice gradually began to grow low and distort, turning into a terrifying proclamation of annihilation.
The light kept getting brighter...
"Disappear."
The woman said calmly.
That was the last thing the Garuda Monster heard.
Its vision began to be enveloped by the rapidly brightening moonlight, that mysterious and beautiful light taking over everything. Its gaze was burned, its mask began to shatter, and everything in the world seemed to be bathed in the mysterious radiance from the Universe.
The next moment, accompanied by the Demon King's voice, Garuda's entire body was enveloped and engulfed by the radiance of the moon.
[---- Malicious Annihilation Light!!]
The dark purple Lunar Magic Power cannon instantly annihilated Garuda's powerful Monster body into dust, and the aftershocks of this Magic Power transformed into shockwaves, which then tore apart and obliterated everything on the surrounding earth.
At that instant, Silver Feather was protected by a Magic Power shield and remained unaffected.
But the Magic girls, who were nearly two hundred meters away, were not so lucky.
Thousand Sins stood still, raising one hand to shield himself from the dust and sand splashed by the fierce wind.
This force is more terrifying than imagined.
Magic girl Star Flower was thrown into the air, her transformation was canceled, and she was caught by Thousand Sins.
The Magic girl Fate Kite had already used up a lot of her Magic Power, and this time she was also swept up by the aftershocks of the attack. Her Magic Power was exhausted, and she deactivated her transformation, revealing her original form, and collapsed helplessly to the ground.
At that moment, Phantom Wind also raised a wind Barrier, blocking the aftershocks of the Magic Power and protecting the other two juniors in the process.
When everything returned to calm, the entire land had been destroyed into a perfectly regular, arc-shaped crater, without the slightest unsightly bumps or depressions.
The eerie glow of Magic Power still lingered on the ground.
The Garuda Monster, along with its Crystal, was destroyed.
"..."
At this moment, the Magic girl was filled with unimaginable shock.
Ai Kirishima, whose transformation was undone by the Kirishima Ai, coughed a few times while lying on the ground, then struggled to her feet and looked up with difficulty at the figure of the Demon King -like female Monster.
She had only ever felt this terrifying, soul-deep aura from the Bird-Type Devil King before.
Could it be that this woman... is also...?
Why did she appear here? Why did she want to eliminate those Monsters? And when was she resurrected?
Also, what should Silver Feather do now?
Even the female ghost in her mind was now eerily quiet.
At this moment, after dealing with Garuda, the woman slowly turned around and looked at the group of Magic girls.
Neither the black veil nor the mask allowed them to fathom what this Monster was thinking.
"So, the noisy dolls all disappeared."
She walked step by step to Silver Feather's side, then faced the Magic girls---
"Now, it's time for us to talk, my dear Magic girls."
Chapter 86 Going Home, Finding Magic Girl
The good news is that the group of Black Death Cult was wiped out in the blink of an eye, and they no longer need to expend effort dealing with them.
Bad news, a dangerous guy has arrived.
To make matters worse, both Chika and Kirishima have had their transformations canceled by the aftershocks of the attack, leaving them without any ability to protect themselves.
"Cough cough..."
Kirishima Ai coughed violently.
But soon, things got worse; she started shivering from the cold, and her face suddenly lost all color.
Because she transformed directly at home to find Silver Feather, her clothes are a bit thin now.
She endured the biting cold and looked up at the Monster in the distance, and at Silver Feather.
"Hey, Kirishima, are you alright?"
Beside her, Thousand Sins carefully put Chika down, a slightly worried expression on his face.
Kirishima Ai gently shook her head, reassuring Thousand Sins not to worry about her, but her gaze still couldn't leave the Monster for a moment.
What's going on with this Monster suddenly appearing in front of them...?
How is that possible?
The female ghost snapped out of her daze and asked a question instinctively.
[Why is the Lunar Demon King here? He shouldn't be able to be resurrected... Could it be that the woman lied to me?]
Clearly, the female ghost recognized the Monster in front of her, but for some reason, she wasn't entirely certain.
Is he the Moon-Type Devil King?
But why did she have this strange feeling of familiarity?
At this moment, the Lunar Monster who had always presented itself to them with a mysterious and powerful aura spoke once again:
"Perhaps I should say, 'Long time no see'?"
The woman's voice, though melodious, sounded somewhat out of place when mixed with a variety of complex sounds.
The Magic girls all looked confused.
Kirishima Ai felt that this Monster's voice... seemed familiar.
Gray snowflakes drifted down slowly.
Like raindrops or haze, it pressed down on them, and the sky darkened accordingly. On this dark ruin, the only light was the city in the distance under the night sky.
The woman's silhouette, and this oppressive feeling, reminded Kirishima Ai of something.
"Could it be... that you are... the one from that day?"
Kirishima Ai slightly opened her eyes.
It's also related to the Demon King.
They appear abruptly while they are fighting powerful opponents, like a mastermind watching and controlling everything from the shadows.
As if in response to her guess, suddenly, the Lunar Monster reached towards its chest and removed the crescent-shaped Crystal embedded there.
As the light shattered, the black veil vanished, replaced by billowing black mist.
That's it.
The woman responded calmly.
After the Monster form dissipated, the Magic girls saw the figure of a woman shrouded in black mist.
Apart from Phantom Wind, all the other Magic girls had seen this person.
---The woman who suddenly appeared before them at the end of the final battle with the Bird-Type Devil King and took away the Bird System Devil King Crystal.
That was... her true face?
Without a doubt, a woman's actions are always enigmatic.
But without a doubt, whether it was the other party's previous self-proclaimed villainous role or their current appearance as Monster, it made them feel that things had suddenly become more complicated than before.
What is the purpose of this woman's presence here...?
While the other Magic girls watched her warily like startled cats, Haihara was observing the Magic girls' transformations up close.
Despite her appearance, she actually rarely has the opportunity to closely observe the transformations of these Problem Child.
Seeing her up close, she is indeed much cuter than she appears on TV.
Well, it's a shame that the Problem Child and the little idol were forced to revert to their original forms due to the aftershocks.
One thing that is obvious is that Thousand Sins and Phantom Wind are both in good condition, and probably haven't even used up much of their Magic Power.
Haihara nodded in inexplicable satisfaction.
She truly is her daughter.
However, the Magic girls did not let their guard down around this time.
After Haihara reveals that she was the one who took the Devil King Crystal, she faces questioning from Thousand Sins.
"So, what is your purpose in appearing here this time? Aren't you with those Monsters?"
That's a good question.
What is the purpose?
Thinking of this, Haihara lowered her head and looked at Silver Feather, who had transformed into Monster.
Actually, Haihara occasionally hears some strange noises.
For example, it could come from Monster.
From the moment Haihara first encountered the Magical Girl Silver Feather, crouching in the snow on the street at night, she heard that faint sound buried in the wind and snow.
At that time, she was attracted by that voice, then found Silver Feather, and even invited her to dinner.
And now, she heard it too.
As she looked at Silver Feather was also staring at her. However, even with the mask on, it was clear that Silver Feather was almost frozen in shock, constantly scrutinizing Haihara's appearance.
Haihara was getting a little embarrassed.
Why are you staring at her?
This silence did not last long.
Perhaps due to the previous battles and the mental strain, Silver Feather's eyes dimmed and darkened upon seeing Haihara, until they closed tightly.
Then, her body began to sway and tilt.
Silver Feather gradually lost consciousness, her entire body slumped forward, and she fainted.
Haihara naturally used her Magic Power to weave several tentacles, gently supporting the Silver Feather, then took a few steps forward and embraced the girl in her arms.
In terms of her Monster form, Silver Feather looks almost exactly like an ordinary girl.
"Hmm... my purpose?"
After embracing the unconscious Silver Feather, Haihara raised her head again, wondering how to respond to Thousand Sins's question.
She glanced at the Magic girls first, then her gaze lingered on Kirishima Ai had deactivated her transformation.
The girl was looking at him uneasily, as well as at the Silver Feather he was holding.
Perhaps she wanted to say something.
