Chapter 349
The attempt to launch the attack under the Moonlit is also about to fail.
Seeing this, Magical Lily picked up a Crystal.
She embedded the Crystal into her Magic Wand, pointed it at the sky, and the next moment, the gem transformed into dazzling light and shadow, projecting into the air.
Vibrant, magnificent light began to break through the haze in the sky, allowing the starry sky to see the light of day again.
This is the gem Magic of the Lord Gemstone, Roland.
Crystal fragments began to fall like raindrops, washing away the haze. At the same time, the Moonlit, having gathered its strength, began to shine brightly from among the stars, the tranquil Silver Moon hanging in the night.
If this hits, it should inflict considerable damage on the Demon King before us.
If the other party is simply Demon King...
" Under the Moonlit, huh? But... you seem to have forgotten something."
The Flower Demon King was not alarmed by this Magic Spell specifically designed to seal away Demon King.
Just as the Silver Moon began to burst forth with dazzling light, and the stars began to twinkle, as the glittering starfrost was about to fall from the Universe, beside the Flower Demon King, the Magic Armament that had been dormant seemed to sense something that it resisted...
"Um?"
Lily noticed it immediately.
When her "Lost Paradise Twilight" sensed the Crown Rank Magic Spell " Under the Moonlit," it began to chain with another Crown Rank Magic Spell of the same level, one that she herself was unaware of.
Only then did she roughly guess what was going on.
The Lost Paradise Twilight, once sealed away by "Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon," now instinctively responds to "the Moonlit."
That Magic Wand, surpassing even the Crown Rank, stirred all the plants in the ecological garden in the next moment.
Suddenly, from the depths of the ecological park, a "tree" rose from the ground.
It started as just a small sapling.
"Rumble..."
The tree's growth suddenly tore the earth apart and destroyed the surrounding buildings.
Dust and debris from the building fell from its trunk.
But then it grew larger and larger, until the city's skyscrapers became tiny shadows, until it reached the sky and blocked out the sun, instantly obscuring the stars in the Universe, its lush, shadow-like foliage instantly covering a corner of the city.
The stars also disappeared at that moment.
On that towering tree, the power of the Flower Demon King was aroused, and a Thorn Dragon extended from the tree, about to engulf Lily.
As the Thorn Dragon closed its massive jaws, the Flower Demon King nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm... it seems that in this way, you have become mine..."
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly realized that her thorns had not absorbed the other party's Magic Power.
In other words, it was not captured.
So where did that woman go?
She had just frowned when she felt an unpleasant Magic Power, completely different from that of the Moon-Type Devil King, appear beside her.
"--- The Wicked Requiem."
The Demon King's pupils contracted sharply.
A flock of Asuka, formed by shadows, suddenly appeared around her, swooping down and forming a human figure with dark wings on its back.
When the figure was reconstructed once more, the Witch had reappeared as Bird System Crown Rank Magic Girl.
"Varied..."
The Flower Demon King hesitated for a moment, but it was too late for her to react.
Beside her, the Witch had already raised her hand.
"---Whoosh."
The darkness began to solidify.
In the next instant, countless black Asuka burst forth, tearing apart the Flower Demon King's shell. Sparks flew everywhere, and the Flower Demon King was sent flying backward.
The Flower Demon King rolled around on the ground, his entire body being eroded and torn apart by the shadow of Bird System Magic Power.
At this point, the fighting seemed to have finally come to a temporary halt.
"... cough cough!"
The Flower Demon King had no time to heal his wounds and collapsed to the ground.
However, even if she were to stand up again, even for just a moment, it would be pointless.
The battle didn't last long. The girl raised her head and looked to the side, where her recent victory lay:
"Then I'll accept this."
Because she had already achieved her goal for this trip.
This time, the Lost Paradise Twilight stood still, having come so close to the Witch for the first time.
After a moment of silence, she tried to touch the Scythe.
However... it failed.
The Lost Paradise Twilight resisted her, repelling the Witch's aura with Snake-Type Magic far more powerful than her own, which made the Witch Lily for a moment.
As expected.
Currently, this Magic Armament does not acknowledge her being cursed.
But it doesn't matter, it doesn't prevent her from taking it back. She can always learn it again later.
She used Magic Power to control the Scythe, keeping it by her side and preventing it from leaving.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
The Flower Demon King slowly rose from the ground, his wounds healing with his Magic Power.
"Ah, I was indeed no match for you."
She wasn't surprised by the result.
As the Demon King is most skilled at creating Monster, he has been fighting the Witch one-on-one with his true form since the beginning, which is a natural outcome.
After that, she seemed to have no intention of continuing the fight, and the sudden transformation and battle with the Witch at the beginning seemed as natural as inviting this woman for a drink.
She regained her composure and, as before, spoke softly:
"However, I'm still very curious... what kind of nightmare did you have that made you so eager to get it back?"
The Demon King seemed to be trying to get a clear look at the Witch before him.
"Logically speaking, you should be very reluctant to go back to your old self, right...?"
She felt she knew the woman in front of her very well.
Because she has lived in this world for so many years, she understands humanity better than ever before.
As Demon King, she is naturally able to sense human emotions.
This woman named Haihara doesn't want to turn back into that Overlord.
But at this very moment, she is still walking closer and closer in that direction.
"Nightmare... it seems you know it very well too."
The Magic girl lowered her head and stared coldly at the Flower Demon King.
She hates the feeling of being spied on and speculated about.
Even though people have been doing that all along.
"That Magic Armament is the key to miracles, combining all Magic Power to lead to omniscience and omnipotence."
"Just like all Demon King."
"It can see into people's deepest desires, let them see their most terrifying nightmares, and then entice them to fulfill their own desires."
The power of the Lost Paradise Twilight is like a "wishing machine," capable of accomplishing all sorts of miraculous things.
If the Lost Paradise Twilight is allowed to spiral out of control, it will fulfill everyone's deepest desires, turning the world into a lost paradise immersed in desire.
Like a forbidden fruit.
"So... what is your wish that you wish to fulfill?"
The Witch before me sometimes seems to have an empty shell when it comes to desire.
Because she was born with everything, she naturally had little desire and was naturally lacking in longing for many things.
However, when she truly realized what she was lacking...
This cold-blooded, heartless Witch will transform into the most greedy serpent, mercilessly devouring everything she can eat.
She is simply a vessel for desire.
Upon hearing this, the Witch Lily closed her eyes and withdrew her hand from the Lost Paradise Twilight. When she opened her eyes again and looked at the Flower Demon King, she felt a pang of pity.
"I do have wishes I want to fulfill."
She admitted it.
However, when she grasped the Magic Wand once more, stars reappeared in the corner of the sky obscured by the giant tree.
"But..."
In the eyes of the Flower Demon King, shimmering starlight was reflected—
"To prevent you from causing any trouble with this opportunity... you'd better obediently let me severely injure you until you're incapable of doing anything wrong."
Even if there are unsightly selfish desires.
Haihara didn't want her recklessness to hurt anyone.
Although... this is a false proposition.
Christmas Eve ended quietly.
When the World Apart ended, the entire city was silent; the sounds of the recent battle had no effect.
Naturally, no one would be disturbed in their sleep by this.
The Magic girls all received their Christmas presents and were dreaming of Christmas Day.
They had no idea what kind of new day would arrive on this brightly lit winter day.
Chapter 123 Yes, my name is Haihara Lily Chou.
Last night, the Magic girls all had a dream.
This time it wasn't a nightmare.
But it's strange.
They dreamt that a little Witch dressed as Christmas, carrying a big bag of gifts, sneaked into their house through their window and then furtively delivered presents to them.
And for some reason, that Santa Claus looked a lot like a teenage version of Teacher Haihara.
To be honest, that teenage girl version of the teacher was quite lewd and cute.
And there's even a little deer tail.
When they woke up early in the morning, they were surprised to find that they had indeed received a gift.
What exactly is going on...?
Although they were puzzled about the origin of the gift, the strange dream they had last night sparked their imagination.
Teacher Haihara when she was young.
Holding onto the memories of last night's dream, the girls welcomed Christmas. Before officially starting to enjoy Christmas, they still had a morning of classes to attend.
When they met again in the classroom, the girls all noticed something was off about each other.
For example, Kirishima Ai.
Today, all the students who had just arrived in the classroom were looking at her because she suddenly wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, the same kind as Teacher Haihara's.
