Chapter 519
Everything praises its magnificence and grandeur; everything favors it as a flawless masterpiece.
The deep, dazzling night sky reflects the beauty of everything in the world.
A Witch with outstretched Feather Wing and a black crown that resembled a halo of thorns descended once more, her appearance unchanged from three hundred years ago.
In the past, Witch called it---
"Overlord - Lilith!"
Volume Four Does This Count as a Magical Girl??: Chapter 39 Will They Win?
Under the deep night sky and countless stars, the Winter Snow that once obscured the sky has melted away, and everything in the city is covered by blooming, Cold Flowers, painted with a fairytale-like, dreamlike, and dazzling color.
Feathers, as dark as night, fell one after another like snowflakes, which should have dazzled the eye for a moment.
However, despite this, no one could take their eyes off that figure.
The Witch's long, silver-gray hair was adorned with jet-black flowers that resembled the night, which, along with the ethereal veil, adorned her pale, cold face, which was as white as moonlight.
The jet-black crown of thorns was not worn by the Witch, but hung high in the air, radiating an even more sublime and illusory aura of Witch like a halo.
As dusk and twilight deepened, the shimmering veil of light, like a skirt's hem, bloomed layer upon layer alongside the Black Rose, weaving together into an exquisitely elaborate and magnificent night gown.
Against that dark, Magic Gear, only the dark green bird feathers served as a striking embellishment, shining like beacons in the night.
Behind the Demon King's graceful waist, a pair of jet-black Feather Wing folded together.
To call them angels descended to earth would be too simplistic.
---Because that is what exists above that.
Although no one present had ever seen this gesture before, it was a gesture that no one else could ever possess again.
The stars have returned to their places, and a Morning Star hangs high in the sky. As prophesied, the star symbolizing the king has risen into the night sky, becoming the brightest first-magnitude star.
All was silent, and even time seemed to stand still, as if the spotlight were on a star on a stage, while everything else paled in comparison.
Everyone was stunned, bewildered, and their minds were blank.
As for the reasons, there are too many to list.
Until, a confused and bewildered girl's murmur broke the silence---
"Miss Lily...?"
That was Kirishima Ai.
She's seen this face before; she's absolutely certain she won't mistake it.
But how could that be?
Sometimes she even thought that the drunken girl in the Materials Room was just a dream, a friend she imagined. But why is Teacher Haihara now resembling Lily?
Of course, Kirishima Ai wasn't the only one whose mind went blank.
Takanashi, Sakaki Chika, Cangyue Yuri... Although some of them had a clue, they never expected it to turn out like this.
Even Dailuoluo R'lyeh, the princess of R'lyeh, was completely unprepared for such a turn of events; she found it hard to believe.
"How could this be? Lilith, the sinner of the Kingdom..."
Lilith?
Even the Magic girls of Earth have all heard of this name.
As for Takanashi Shiori, Cangyue Yuri, Dailuoluo, they belong to the legends of the past.
Why did Teacher Haihara turn out like this...?
No, they had actually seen another figure that resembled her before.
----The female figure shrouded in black mist.
That same mysterious, unknown figure took away the Bird-Type Devil King's Crystal and also possessed the Moon-Type Devil King's Crystal.
All along, all the clues have been...
Takanashi Shiori, in her Thousand Sins pose, gradually widened her eyes, her expression completely frozen.
And the culprit behind all of this...
"Celebrate."
After a moment's thought, the Witch said calmly.
What?
The very first thing he said after transforming was truly perplexing.
The voice was not much different from what they remembered.
However, the feeling it evokes is completely different.
The Lost Paradise Twilight has now transformed into a long, slender Magic Scythe that matches the Witch's figure, swirling with black mist like a scepter, floating and following the woman.
The Witch with long, silver-gray hair, noticing that no one was reacting, raised her head, her deep purple pupils, as bright and dazzling as stars, gazing at everyone with a somber light.
She tilted her head slightly and said casually:
"How about you come and celebrate with me?"
This was the first time anyone had ever heard this woman speak in such a cheerful tone.
Her serene smile was as bright and beautiful as the moonlight tonight.
"Look at your surprised expressions! It's supposed to be a festival, so why is it so quiet here?"
Let's start with a round of applause.
She seemed to have thought of something amusing, and said it casually.
Lilith... teacher... Overlord... how should I address her?
As she said, everyone had lost their composure and the ability to think clearly.
However, when the woman with the face of the Witch Lilith raised her hands and clapped them gently, everyone present noticed that they couldn't control themselves from raising their hands as well.
As night fell and Bonfire Party raged on campus, an extremely eerie scene unfolded: all the Magic girls and all the students involuntarily raised their hands.
My body is out of control? How could that be?
Then----
The next moment, thunderous applause tore through the silence like a storm, and everyone clapped along with the Witch's movements.
Even Magic girls like Thousand Sins and Star Flower, who have transformed to levels far exceeding the Sacred Domain, are unable to resist.
The students were all stunned as their hands began to move on their own.
Although their hands were out of control, they could still speak.
"What on earth is going on..."
Thousand Sins couldn't help but wail.
"Teacher Haihara? Teacher Haihara?"
Star Flower blinked incessantly, feeling like her brain was about to overload.
"Am I still dreaming?" Kirishima Ai couldn't understand.
At this moment, the contract binding Cangyue Yuri, the Shadow Moon's Transformed Form, was also released. She immediately understood why she had been suffering from amnesia lately and why she couldn't remind Takanashi:
"I never imagined that Miss Haihara would really be..."
She let out a low, mournful wail, similar to that of Takanashi.
However, compared to the Magic girls, the students who watched and were forced to participate in this scene were unable to understand the situation. Instead of panicking, they were filled with excitement and confusion.
"I've never seen a Magic girl like this before. Is she some kind of new villain?"
"Although she's very beautiful, can she really be considered a Magic girl...?"
"What a holy and noble posture!"
"She'll definitely be the most popular Magic girl in history!"
"Wait, I think I just saw the person who transformed into this Magic girl. Doesn't that look like the homeroom teacher from the next class?"
The Bonfire Party at the School Festival quickly became the most lively celebration, and also the most absurd farce in history.
Meanwhile, the Witch Lilith, the culprit, seemed to be in a good mood, enjoying this banquet that was not hers at all, as if she were on a picnic.
A character no one expected appeared at this banquet vying for the Lost Paradise Twilight and instantly became the center of attention.
Of course, the audience still needs time to process this dramatic turn of events and divine intervention.
Only one person maintained the composure and calmness expected of them in the face of this unexpected turn of events.
Amidst the comical applause, someone suddenly broke free from the control.
"----Don't joke around!"
It was the angry voice of a petite blonde girl.
The next moment, everyone saw a dazzling white light flash by, which for a moment almost illuminated the entire night, as bright as day. Then, flowers formed of light surrounded the little girl, presenting a noble and gorgeous appearance.
A Magic girl dressed in White-and-Gold Demon Armor, wearing a small golden crown symbolizing noble Sovereignty.
After transforming into her Magic girl form, this princess of R'lyeh was no longer toyed with by the Overlord's Magic.
She raised her hand, and a Silver-White Holy Sword wrapped in countless flowers instantly appeared in her hand.
Princess Dailuoluo of R'lyeh raised the holy sword, a Magic Armament, and pointed it without hesitation at the witch who resembled a legendary Overlord — Witch who shouldn't have been there.
"The seal of the Elder Imperial Sister... exists on you in the form of a curse, it seems to be her."
"Shouldn't you have died in the seal long ago? Lilith the Rebel, why are you here?"
"Like Belial, did he somehow survive and now rise from the dead...?"
Even when facing the legendary strongest Magic girl, the princess's crimson eyes showed no fear whatsoever.
Lilith remained cheerful and smiled at Dailuoluo's self-answered question, seemingly not considering Dailuoluo, this hostile Crown Rank Magic, as a threat at all.
Faced with such a dismissive attitude, Dailuoluo's mood plummeted to rock bottom.
She glanced at Faust, who had just been tricked and was still stunned and at a loss.
As she cast Magic Spell to break Lilith's control, Faust finally came to his senses.
"Faust."
She called out.
"Yes, Your Highness." Faust finally snapped out of his daze.
"The attempt to reclaim Lost Paradise Twilight continues, but it will be a tough battle. Will you come to help?"
The current situation is two against one.
Furthermore, the Overlord has only recently been resurrected and regained her power, and there is no doubt that she is still far from her peak strength. Moreover, her twelve Overlord's Fangs are no longer by her side.
At the same time, a shadow enveloped Faust's entire body, sweeping over the Witch like a whirlpool, until it transformed into the Witch's Magic Gear. Her aura was revealed, also at Magic Power level of Crown Rank Magic Girl.
"Huh... Oh?"
After transforming, Faust seemed to notice something.
"I see. Queen Al White's Magic Power seal is still on the Overlord. She can't maintain this posture for long, which means that the advantage seems to ultimately be on our side."
Faust in his Crown Rank Form observed the legendary Overlord and made this conclusion, after which his previously heavy mood lightened considerably.
She smiled.
"Although it's unclear what level of strength the so-called Overlord has reached, it wouldn't hurt to test it out personally."
"Then, of course, Your Highness, I will accompany you."
Faust was very confident in his abilities.
As for the other Magic girls, watching the two sides clashing, they were momentarily unsure which side to take.
No, to be honest, it seems like they weren't very good at getting involved either?
As for Lilith herself?
