Chapter 458
If before this Tachibana had always dealt with others in a playful manner, then at this moment, she unleashed her true strength.
Behind the Star Flower, numerous floating flowers scattered, instantly surrounding almost the entire treetop and locking onto the Flower Demon King in the center, who gripped her Magic Wand in one hand:
"Others will come to help later, but for now, it's really just me."
This is truly unbelievable.
Tachibana curiously checked on the situation of her clone.
So that's how it is. Are Fate Kite and Shadow Moon going to stall for time?
They're really courting death.
But... who else will help? Who else?
As far as Tachibana knows, all the Magic girls in Maple Plain City are now in dire straits.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Next, let all the Magic girls become nourishment for the magic tree.
Chapter 207 Unknown Reinforcements
The Magic Power of the four elements— Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon— each has its own unique characteristics and emphasis.
Among them, the Bird System is the best at attacking, excelling in elemental Magic Spell and slashing Magic Spell.
The Lunar is extensive and mysterious, encompassing alchemy, astrology, manipulation of gravity and attraction, mental attacks, and at its most profound level, even time itself.
Wind System are often associated with natural disasters, such as snowstorms, lightning, and torrential rain.
As for the Flower, the Flower Demon King Demon King, representing it, possesses the greatest Magic Power of all Demon King, as well as the most outstanding ability to manipulate Monster.
When she manipulates Monster with her own hands, she can often unleash power beyond what the monsters themselves possess.
"Let me see... these are the only Monster left that can be resurrected."
The Flower Demon King was taking stock of his servants.
Among them, Black Goat and Flash Thunder Black Death Cult had their Crystal shattered by Phantom Wind and could no longer be resurrected.
But through the Demon Tree, she resurrected Fenrir once again and dragged the Crystal Armor Black Death Cult from inside the Demon Tree to the top.
As for the Perfect Form Monster, those things are not even as good as the Magic Power tentacles she created at will, so there's no need to pull them out.
It felt like reliving that day's battle with Haihara.
The tree extended countless thick tendrils, which, like writhing demons, momentarily obscured the sky above the two, blocking out the starlight and moonlight. Dust and smoke continuously fell from above, almost suffocating them.
In the sky, beams of light from the flowers either pierced through the tentacles or bypassed them to shoot directly at the Flower Demon King.
Just as the Flower Demon King was about to be engulfed by the overwhelming barrage of light bullets, the Crystal Armor Black Death Cult, whose body was parasitized by demonic flowers, arrived in front of the Flower Demon King and erected Barrier of Magic Power.
The crystal-clear barrier jingled and tinkled under the onslaught, constantly flashing as it absorbed energy.
The next moment, the crystal wall reflected an intense brilliance that almost filled the entire field of vision.
A burst of iridescent light, like a crystal, shot out and rushed back towards the Star Flower.
Just as all the attacks were about to hit Star Flower waved her Magic Wand, and a Magic mirror instantly appeared in front of her.
"----clang!"
The mirror instantly deflected the incoming attack, and the dazzling crystal light tore apart several of the Demon King's tentacles.
However, this time, the torn tentacles have undergone a new change.
From the fracture, vines and flowers grew, and the magical vines and flowers rapidly grew and intertwined, transforming into slender fingers. In the blink of an eye, a huge and beautiful female hand appeared.
Star Flower was taken aback and looked around.
One after another, enormous flower hands rose and stretched out their five fingers in turn, as if dancing, and thousands of flowers bloomed instantly, dazzling the eyes.
The hands of those flowers clasp together, making different gestures, intricate and bizarre, yet exuding a strange beauty.
Then, the light of Flower Magic Power flickered, and one Magic Spell another was cast.
The Magic Spell, like unpredictable dancers, attacked the Star Flower in all sorts of bizarre ways. The Star Flower responded with a multitude of methods, sometimes dodging, sometimes countering with the same Magic Spell, and sometimes severing the giant hands to interrupt the spellcasting.
As Star Flower dealt with these giant hands, the Flower Demon King flicked his finger again, and then several eerie and grotesque trumpet flowers sprouted from the ground with their gaping maws wide open.
With a gentle flick of her wrist, like a conductor directing musicians, the morning glories instantly emitted the sharpest, most piercing whistling sound—
"Croak------"
It was sharper and more piercing than a blade, like shards of glass piercing the skin. Star Flower shuddered violently, and her whole body twisted in pain.
She instinctively covered her ears, and blood began to flow from them.
But she quickly realized what was happening and manipulated her own floating flower bud in the same way.
Multiple flower buds overlap, forming a shape resembling a sound speaker.
She retaliated with a wave of her Magic Wand.
"-----Buzz!"
A clear, pure sound rippled through the air, instantly silencing the harsh whistle.
Then, the sweeping sound wave overturned several flower hands in front of it and crushed all the noisy morning glories.
But at that moment, Star Flower realized that she had overlooked something.
The temperature behind her suddenly plummeted to a bone-chilling cold, and she didn't have time to turn around and look.
But through the Magic mirror she had created, she was able to see the blind spot behind her. In the mirror, she saw Fenrir the Black Death Cult open his mouth, his breath already condensing into an extremely cold aura.
Then, without hesitation, she fired Rose Flash forward with her Magic Wand.
---The goal is the Magic Mirror in front of oneself.
"----boom!"
The flash of light from the Roses blasted towards the Magic Mirror, but was reflected back and instantly bounced towards the ice wolf that was trying to ambush Star Flower from behind.
The ice wolf's breath was abruptly interrupted, and an explosion rang out behind Star Flower.
While she was busy dealing with the ice wolves, more dark gray vines had unknowingly blocked the light around her, blocking her way from all directions, like hungry beasts lurking around, leaving only suffocating darkness for a moment.
She took a slight breath.
Star Flower raised her Magic Wand.
One by one, floating flower buds were gently tapped and guided by the Magic Wand, placed in various places in the air around them, and fixed in their respective positions.
All of this was accomplished in the blink of an eye, and then she raised her Magic Wand high.
"Begin the performance---"
In the stillness of the night, the sound gradually rose and fell, spreading outwards in concentric circles from the Star Flower.
The sonic waves of the magic were like a Valkyrie on the battlefield, invincible. The stirring march created a violent impact, directly shaking off and sending away all the magic vines that were approaching her.
Star Flower flew out from it quickly.
So far in this battle, the Demon King holds an absolute advantage.
Although Star Flower now possesses Magic Power equivalent to the combined power of her other companions, along with a dazzling array of Magic capable of countering the Flower Demon King's attacks, it is still far from sufficient.
So far, she has not been able to get really close to the Magic Wand at the center of the treetop.
Her proactive attacks failed to inflict much damage on the Flower Demon King.
Although I wasn't seriously injured, if this continues...
After the Star Flower, an even more troublesome scene unfolded.
Before her, the Fenrir Black Death Cult, who had just been blasted and severely injured, had countless withered, dark vines growing from its mangled flesh, mending its missing wounds.
On the ice wolf's flesh and blood, flower buds bloomed, replenishing the strange Monster's Magic Power.
The two Black Death Cult now appeared to have become complete puppets of the parasitic demonic flower, their eyes flashing with a blind, tireless, blood-red light like those of walking corpses.
"It seems you have no chance of winning, Little Chika. Why not just surrender? The help you mentioned hasn't shown up yet."
The Flower Demon King skillfully manipulated these Flower Monsters and the two Black Death Cult.
She herself has not moved an inch since the start of the battle.
This is... the Demon King has regained his true power.
With Star Flower alone, there is indeed no hope of victory at this moment. Phantom Wind is also nowhere to be seen, and the others are all engaged in their own battles, so it seems there is no one who can provide reinforcements.
The course of this battle seems to be quite predictable.
"Ha, what's wrong? You've become so weak just because you lost one companion?"
Inside the magic tree, the Magical Girl Dark Kite wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and grinned.
This one-against-four battle took a turn for the better in her favor.
During the battle, the Black Goat, who was originally an enemy, suddenly died without warning.
This allowed Dark Kite had been at a complete disadvantage and barely able to cope, to breathe a sigh of relief.
The balance of power is gradually shifting.
That being said, her current situation is not optimistic.
If others saw her like this, it would be considered "seriously injured."
The Crystal that protected her from having her Snake-Type Magic absorbed by the magic tree was almost completely used up.
[What's Black Goat up to? How come his main body was suddenly killed?]
The Snowy Owl Black Death Cult's current state is also quite pitiful.
Most of its body had melted away, and one of its plump wings had been severed by the Dark Kite, making it extremely difficult for it to even find its direction for flight. It was as if it had lost more than half of its strength.
They were well aware of what had just happened.
The Black Goat's true form was killed by the enemy.
Their offspring along with them perished instantly.
The other two Black Death Cult weren't exactly good-looking either.
[Forget about that guy! Today, we have to tear that damned little brat's face off... How dare she--]
The Nine-Tailed Fox Black Death Cult's fury erupted.
Of its nine beautiful tails, only six remain.
This is because it had already suffered three fatal wounds during the battle, losing three lives to Dark Kite alone.
As for the Curse Poison Black Death Cult, their fate was even more tragic.
--Its entire body was riddled with thorns from Dark Kite's Phantom Swords.
The Black Death Cult are also facing considerable pressure.
The Snake-Type Magic reduces their Magic Power with each strike, even directly threatening the Crystal within their bodies.
Dark Kite can be healed with Magic Power when injured.
However, cracks made with Snake-Type Magic cannot be repaired.
"Don't rush, I'll kill your other two companions first, then I'll come and kill you... cough---cough cough."
As Dark Kite spoke, she once again activated her teleportation ability using her Magic Power sword.
A shadow suddenly appeared behind the Curse Poison Black Death Cult, and Dark Kite swam out from it. Having already suffered from this move many times, the Cursed Poison Apostle was not caught off guard again. At this moment, its entire body sprayed out a large amount of poisonous blood.
Dark Kite's gaze turned cold. She simply ignited black flames all over her body, enduring the burning pain, and forcefully raised the dark purple Scissor Blades, stabbing at the Curse Poison Black Death Cult.
This strike hit the vital point perfectly, penetrating it completely.
The poisonous blood was completely burned away by the black flames.
Then, Dark Kite twisted the Scissor Blades in her hand with force.
"----Sizzle---Smack."
The violent Snake-Type Magic, like venomous fangs tearing flesh apart, devoured the Crystal of the Curse Poison Black Death Cult.
