Chapter 469

After that, she took the opportunity to finally sever the connection between the Lost Paradise Twilight and the Demon Tree, thus interrupting the Flower Demon King's influence on those dreams.

And now, there are even better results to be achieved.

"Very good, you've successfully brought the teacher back."

Star Flower certainly couldn't forget that.

She took the little girl-like Haihara Lily Chou from Tachibana's arms.

But she soon noticed that it wasn't just the Flower Demon King who went berserk after doing so.

She soon saw that at the top of the demon tree, a dark golden scepter hung in the sky, manipulating one branch after another of the demon tree to grab at her.

It seemed that no matter what, this Magic Wand was unwilling to give up Haihara to her.

Meanwhile, the Flower Demon King, who had been severely injured, was slowly recovering due to the restoration of his Magic Power, but at a much slower pace than before.

The Flower Demon King stared blankly at everything before her, which far exceeded her expectations.

For a moment, she revealed an expression of disgust and extreme coldness.

"Magic girls... one or two at a time, they're always so annoying."

Tachibana suppressed her anger, but one could almost hear the barely contained rage within her voice.

But for her, this was far from the end.

Ultimately, the advantage in strength still lies with her.

The Magic girls no longer possessed any power to defeat her.

Now, Fate Kite and Shadow Moon should have been dealt with by her clone.

As long as she can reclaim the power of her clone, she can...

"... Um?"

Just then, Tachibana sensed something that she couldn't understand.

---Her clone was defeated.

How is that possible?

How did you do that?

A question suddenly arose in Tachibana's mind.

What interrupted her distraction was the sudden riot at Lost Paradise Twilight.

It sensed something.

But by the time Tachibana tried to find out what was going on, things had already changed.

"----Hiss."

The first sound is tearing.

The demonic vines that had just been chasing the Star Flower were completely torn apart.

The next moment, countless pitch-black Asuka, like ghosts from hell, engulfed and destroyed vast swathes of the demonic tree vines.

This scene is all too familiar to Tachibana.

But what she couldn't understand was why she saw that figure.

In the sky, the Asuka that had torn apart the vines flapped their black wings and reformed on the ground, transforming into a distorted human figure.

It casually tossed aside the broken vines, watching them plummet from thousands of meters in the air, before coldly gazing at Tachibana with its blood-red eagle eyes.

That dark figure, resembling the corpses of countless dead Asuka, was someone else entirely in Tachibana's long memory:

"Camilla? No... who are you?"

She subconsciously called out the name of the Bird-Type Devil King, but that was definitely not it.

At this moment, everything in Tachibana is crumbling.

Chapter 215 The Final Nightmare

After regaining his senses, the Flower Demon King finally understood the situation again.

It wasn't an illusion; it was the genuine power of his own kin, and even stronger than when he had just been resurrected, roughly equivalent to the power of his own clone.

It was it that defeated its own clone.

Suddenly, Tachibana realized something:

"No, are you... Camilla's vessel?"

She finally realized the true nature of the being before her.

[So it has a name.]

--The "Bird Demon King" before him uttered a sigh that was unlike the one Tachibana remembered.

That's right, the true form of the Bird-Type Devil King in front of Tachibana is none other than the little girl who was once reduced to a vessel for the Demon King.

That child named Kirishima Hina.

She was deeply impressed by the child.

Because the other party is exceptionally good as a vessel, so good that they can use the Demon King's power with such ease.

She didn't know how the other person had managed to do it.

But this aligns with the fact that she didn't find the Bird-Type Devil King's Crystal on Haihara...

"I'm so curious, how did it end up in your hands..."

This Crystal was originally supposed to be on Haihara.

I don't know if this was Haihara intended to give to this child, or if it was just an accident.

She thought it was probably the latter, or perhaps both.

Ignoring this point led to her current tragic situation.

On the other side, she noticed that Star Flower was already carrying Haihara, preparing to leave.

Her face darkened, and she gritted her teeth as she said:

"Don't even think about it..."

She was about to stop her.

But this time, the dark shadow of the Demon King flapped its many layers of wings once more, and in the blink of an eye, it approached the Flower Demon King.

The Bird Demon King clenched its claws into fists and struck at her.

With a "smack," Tachibana, slightly annoyed, grabbed the other person's heavy and swift fist, her own arm immediately jolted.

---However, the extremely Demon King bird that the container had transformed into raised its other claw, which instantly turned into four dark red blades, slashing towards Tachibana.

"----Bang!"

A crackling, explosion-like sound.

Tachibana was immediately dealt a heavy blow.

And from afar, the Star Flower did not fall in either.

As the Bird Demon King kicked her away and flew off, a curtain of light from all directions almost engulfed her for a moment.

The Flower Demon King fell from the sky.

Before she could react to the successive attacks, Tachibana was covered in wounds. In the blink of an eye, she was numb to the pain and was thinking about other things.

"... No."

In my hazy memory, it always seems to be like this.

These Magic girls will do things she doesn't expect, disrupting all her plans.

Many of her past hopes were dashed as a result.

This time too.

This time it went so far that even her former comrades became the Magic girls' side of power, and were manipulated freely by a little girl, catching her completely off guard.

What else...?

What else can be utilized?

Tachibana could sense that all of her subordinates had been wiped out by this group of Magic girls.

Even the Torch Dragon Black Death Cult were no exception.

She raised her head, seemingly wanting to absorb Magic Power to repair herself.

But then something else happened.

Those bubbles in the sky...

---They are disconnecting from the magic tree.

After Star Flower severed the connection between the Lost Paradise Twilight and the Demon Tree, her control over these dreams also began to break.

The human emotions that were once flowing more and more towards her are now leaving her.

Then, another Magic girl appeared.

The Magic girl named Shadow Moon is flying through the sky, rescuing one citizen after another from the bubbles that have fallen into a deep sleep, and severing their connection with the Flower Demon King.

A hint of panic appeared on the Flower Demon King's expression:

"No... those are not allowed!"

"I can't feel anything... It's cold and lifeless, uh... Give it back to me!"

"Don't take these from me anymore!"

The Magic Power within her was raging, stirring her emotions and eroding her reason.

She had completely lost her previous elegance and roared angrily.

However, in the sky, the dark Demon King flapped its tattered half -Feather Wing and gazed at her for a moment.

[What are you saying? Those things were never yours to begin with.]

[You Demon King really each have your own unique ways of being willful and unreasonable...]

Then, she raised her hand and chopped the knife at the top of the tree, bringing it down with a swift motion.

With a deafening roar, a blade of Magic Power energy slashed across the sky, severing the top of the demonic tree. After a tremor, it began to fall heavily to the ground.

The Flower Demon King was also instantly engulfed by the collapse of everything...

Within the ruins of the collapsed and broken demonic tree, overflowing Magic Power is raging, transforming into countless thick branches that frantically sweep away everything around them.

They resemble uncontrolled tentacles.

From within, the Flower Demon King staggered out.

"Disappeared..."

"Those feelings, desires, Magic Power... are still the same as before: empty and cold."

She murmured.

Once the connection with the Demon Tree was severed, what she had gained from those humans was constantly slipping away.

Her world is rapidly losing its color, turning into a gray, chaotic, and ugly place.

Then, she coughed violently, and black blood flowed from her human-like body, staining half of her beautiful face and even flowing down to her chest.

The Flower Demon King's beautiful yet ominous body was now covered in wounds, her wounds like cracks in a jewel, constantly flowing with blood and Magic Power.

When that Magic Power fell to the ground, it blossomed into one vibrant flower after another.

Before long, the ground was covered with a sea of flowers.

She clutched her head, her body writhing with a torrent of overflowing Magic Power that was overwhelming her reason.

In the end, the woman murmured frantically:
