Chapter 308
[You must now relinquish control of your body to me, so that I may personally reclaim the power of Silver Feather.]
The female ghost's cold and ruthless voice echoed.
Now that Silver Feather has been taken away by that Lunar Monster, it's clear that the opponent possesses strength superior to hers, so she must quickly reclaim the portion of her full power that belongs to her.
Therefore, it is necessary to take control of the body that the current Fate Kite possesses.
In response, Fate Kite did not mince words:
"Well, thank you so much for patiently waiting all these days. Why didn't those Monster come to pick you up sooner?"
The female ghost merely gave a haughty snort in response to this mockery.
After the battle began, the strange Monster still did not attack, but instead looked at Fate Kite, who was surrounded by a group of mature-stage Monster:
"Your Majesty Belial, we apologize for keeping you waiting. We will now present you with the Fate Kite and the Silver Feather, allowing you to descend upon the world once more."
It spoke with reverence and fervor.
Behind it, several mature, bee-like Monster buzzed around their leader.
The next moment, it heard a Magic girl's voice calling out—
"I'm right in front of you, so stop talking big!"
The next instant, the fiery physical sword blade broke through the Monster and slashed towards the leader.
The Poisonous Bee Monster was also stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting that Fate Kite would be so powerful.
And what is that weapon?
At this moment, the sword-shaped weapon in Fate Kite's hand was not in the information of the Monster, because it was a special weapon that the Doctor had made for her.
This weapon is a direct extension of the Magic Armament.
Therefore, from the Broken Wing, a blade gleaming with a cold light extends, and on the back of the sword, several air vents resembling an engine can be seen.
With this...
Several bursts of flame erupted from the engine, propelling the blade to unleash even greater power, forcing even the Perfect Form Poison Bee to cope with difficulty.
Previously, four sufficiently powerful mature-stage Monster were enough to keep Fate Kite busy.
Now, she can fight a fully-powered Sanctuary magical girl while also dealing with other grunts, just like a truly powerful Sanctuary magical girl.
"Get out of here!"
She slashed down another bee-shaped Monster with her sword, then focused intently on sensing the flow of Magic Power.
Fate Kite suddenly looked towards the distant horizon of the now-empty city.
As she closed her eyes and felt with her heart, on the far other side of the city, the Broken Wing was calling out to another being Magic Power shared the same origin as hers.
The person she's looking for... is right there.
Then, she broke through the group of Monster's obstruction and flew towards that direction at full speed.
She flew faster and faster, gradually leaving the group of Monster behind.
Getting closer and closer.
She has experienced many similar moments of confusion, anxiety, and painful setbacks.
This time... she can overcome it on her own.
It definitely can...
But once again, that dark soul that constantly tormented her mind spoke of how far her thoughts were from reality.
[It seems you haven't yet witnessed true... despair.]
[In that case, you should see it soon.]
The female ghost seemed to sense something and spoke with great interest.
As for the female ghost's charade, Fate Kite frowned and continued flying through the city, ignoring it all.
Now, there are no other Monster interfering or hindering us.
According to the Doctor's notification, the other companions were also unharmed.
"What are you talking about again? Speak clearly..."
As the Fate Kite flew, it didn't forget to speak to the female ghost in an unfriendly tone.
Then, her Feather Wing suddenly slowed down for a moment.
I was in a daze for a moment.
And in her ears came the mocking voice of the female ghost---
[Look, isn't it already right in front of you?]
That's true.
Fate Kite had already seen that "thing".
It was impossible to describe in words how it gradually writhed and swelled in her field of vision, until it became a colossal object that occupied most of her view of the city.
Fifty, sixty... ninety... up to over a hundred meters, surpassing the skyscrapers of Maple Plain City, a monster standing like a mountain in the blizzard.
The Magic girl's figure, flying through the air, suddenly appeared incredibly small.
Yes, right now.
A gigantic, pitch-black shadow suddenly appeared in the city, crushing and collapsing large swathes of buildings until it made room for its massive body to move, before emitting a terrifying echo that reverberated throughout most of the city.
This is a Monster, like a "monster" that only appears in other types of tokusatsu films.
But its size is not all that it is.
Even more chilling is its structure.
It was made up of countless writhing, Monster bodies pieced together.
They breathed, howled, or let out crazed laughter, or were indulging in their own desires and destructive instincts, driving the great monster forward step by step, destroying the empty city.
A series of eerie, pale masks, densely packed together.
From the giant Monster's mottled, ugly, stitched body, countless thin, black tentacles extended, constantly reaching out to all parts of the city, attempting to cause more destruction and despair.
On its head was a huge, lantern-like eye that was constantly scanning its surroundings, and with each blink, thousands of blood-red eyes on its body opened at once.
"What exactly is that...?"
Even the Magic girl, Fate Kite, was completely unable to think at this moment.
Simply because that thing was so shocking and beyond her comprehension.
Can this person still be considered Monster?
But who can defeat this creation stitched together by so many Monsters?
[It is an ultimate Monster formed by fusing the resentment of all the dead Monster absorbed by the Battle Instrument, along with a large number of physical Monster, using the power of the Battle Instrument.]
[After storing a maximum of one hundred Monster in the Battle Instrument, I named it the Hundred Fiend Demon.]
This was one of the nightmares that once R'lyeh.
The ultimate Monster, formed by the fusion of one hundred physical Monster and the resentment of numerous Monsters.
He is also Monster surpasses any single Monster, truly transforming quantity into quality through the sheer number of stitches, reaching the realm of the Demon King.
A hundred arms, a hundred eyes, a hundred faces.
This is also the ultimate weapon that enabled Belial to resist R'lyeh's many-year campaign with his own power.
While her individual strength may not match that of Crown Rank or Demon King, she is certainly not someone any Sacred Domain Magic Girl could contend with.
This is a genuine, ultimate Monster.
"... Hundred? This thing looks like it has more than a hundred!"
Fate Kite felt a chill run down her spine looking at this thing.
Even at a cursory glance, this Monster's arms and eyes are far more than just a hundred.
[Yes.]
[Perhaps I should thank that woman. She truly lives up to her reputation as the Demon King who excels at creating Monster; the current combined Monster is even stronger than it was in its prime.]
[Perhaps calling it the Thousand Fiend would be more appropriate now.]
Nearly a thousand combined, mature-stage Monster.
Even if each individual is easy to deal with, when they are combined, they become a despairing number.
The other party's every move could cause the city to collapse and sink, turning it into a fragile ruin.
"..."
This thing also seemed to be targeting her.
The moment it noticed Fate Kite, the giant Monster let out a shrill roar, and all the Monster on its body emitted noisy and ear-piercing cries. Immediately afterward, countless tentacles extended from its body and reached out to grab Fate Kite.
At first, Fate Kite wanted to raise her sword and sever the tentacles.
But after she cut off one, a second and a third followed, tangling around her feet and arms and hindering her movements.
Even though Fate Kite severed all these tentacles with a single sword strike, even more tentacles had already followed.
She could only unleash her Magic Power Feather Wing at full power to race against the tentacles, while trying to bypass the Thousand Fiend and find Silver Feather and the culprit behind this incident.
That female ghost just said... Battle Instrument?
But does she really have the time to care?
On the body of the giant fusion Monster, countless eyes opened, and then, before those blood-red gazes, beams of Magic Power began to condense, shooting one after another towards the flying Fate Kite.
"---Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After the beam of light was dodged by the Fate Kite, it struck the buildings, instantly shattering them and causing them to collapse.
The Thousand Fiend's Magic Power is almost inexhaustible.
Finally, the beam of light pierced the Magic Power Feather Wing of the Fate Kite, but her flight became unsteady, and she was unable to find her way normally.
It will take some time before the Magic Power Feather Wing can be reassembled.
However, the Thousand Fiend's countless eyes had converged into a giant ball of Magic Power light, aimed at Fate Kite like a lamp, ready to unleash its power and utterly destroy her.
But faced with such a huge difference in strength, Fate Kite's struggles seemed so futile, almost to the point of despair.
At this point, even Fate Kite felt somewhat discouraged.
Could it be... that this is really the end for her?
There was no time to think.
Just as the Thousand Fiend's charged demonic light was about to erupt, and its scorching aura was about to engulf the Fate Kite and submerge the city, a blood-red light cannon with destructive power no less than the Thousand Fiend's erupted from the ground and instantly headed towards the Thousand Fiend.
"-----boom!!!"
A most intense and shocking roar.
The world was filled with the glitter of Magic Power.
The once all-encompassing Thousand Fiend was also interrupted by this attack, its unshakeable body swaying and staggering backward.
It let out a painful howl as a large chunk of its body was blasted apart by the attack, and the dozen or so Monster and eyeballs on its body vanished instantly.
Thousand Fiend swayed backwards repeatedly until he crashed into the buildings and lay half-fallen on the ruins.
[... What?]
The first to utter a confused sound was the female ghost in Kirishima Ai's mind.
The Magic Power and violent aura of that attack were something she had never felt before in her life.
He didn't belong to anyone she knew.
The only one who bears some resemblance Lilith, the Crown Rank known as the "Thousand Venerables" in the past.
At that moment, Fate Kite landed on the ground, and in front of her, a girl's figure appeared out of nowhere.
---Long, gold and red hair, dark red tattoos, flamboyant and imposing giant armored claws, and a huge Cross Nail that is disproportionate to the girl's size, held in her other slender hand.
Around the Magic girl, crimson Snake-Type Magic erupted, its Magic Power like waves and tsunamis tearing apart and oppressing everything around it.
