Chapter 522
However, the Magic being constructed at this time was not limited to Flower Above.
The starry night sky also fulfilled another condition for activating Crown Rank Magic.
The vast Universe's stars, surrounding the magnificent Silver Moon high in the center of the night sky, formed a dazzling and radiant Magic circle, as if weeping tears. In an instant, all the distant stars in the sky began to twinkle.
The cold light of the Frost Star permeated the deep night, illuminating the entire dome.
The Witch Faust completed the Crown Rank Magic in an instant, and seeing the surprised look on the Overlord, she finally smiled with satisfaction.
"Ms. Lilith, you didn't expect this, did you?"
"During the hundreds of years you have slumbered, the Kingdom has created a simplified version of the Crown Rank Magic used to seal the Demon King, which can be cast much faster."
This was originally intended for use by Magic girls who had not yet reached the Crown Rank, to seal away newly awakened Demon King whose power was not yet fully realized.
A single one is completely ineffective against the Overlord.
This level of combat shouldn't be necessary.
However...
"Correspondingly, after hundreds of years of painstaking research, our clan has found a way to activate the complete final spell used to seal you using only two of the Crown Rank Magic Spell Magic."
Faust couldn't help but explain with amusement, a dark and mocking smile spreading across his face.
"In other words, the conditions for activating that Magic Spell have been met again. Although it cannot be sealed, severe damage is sufficient."
This is all thanks to this Overlord's excessive arrogance and self-importance.
Otherwise, how could there be any chance of a successful launch?
As she spoke, the Crown Rank Magic was already ready to be activated.
----" Under the Moonlit," a place where the essence of the profound Universe gathers.
When these two Magic were activated simultaneously, the linking spell that Faust had prepared in the Grimoire also began to activate.
That final Magic was completed at this moment.
This is so easy compared to hundreds of years ago.
And the glory of severely damaging the Overlord will be in her grasp.
Finally, everyone witnessed the legendary Magic being performed here.
" Among Flower Above, among Bird Interval, in the wind, under the Moonlit."
"The life force of all things in the world, in this moment, unites and displays a miracle."
Its name is---
"---- Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon."
Faust eagerly awaited the moment when the Overlord suffered a crushing defeat.
However, in the end, she was able to clearly witness this moment.
Therefore, without a doubt, she could see that the Overlord did not care at all, and then an extreme sense of unease arose in her heart.
The Overlord merely touched the two Devil King Crystal on the Lost Paradise Twilight.
"Infernal Nightmare" and "Death Calamity Poison".
Then, two Magic, which Faust had never seen and could never understand, were cast at that moment.
As the Demon King grasped the Lost Paradise Magic Wand, a symbol of the end, its core and crescent-shaped Crystal emitted an ominous, twilight-like glow.
Along with this, the Overlord's calm and understated narration also emerged.
Now, the flowers have withered and turned to dust.
"The stars have gone out, and all is darkness."
Like a gentle touch, the Demon King dances with the Twilight Scythe.
The two Faust Magic never seen before had no terrifying omens or immense power.
When it started, this was all she saw.
The sky suddenly darkened, as if a hand wider than the night sky had covered the heavens and all the stars. The next moment, the whole world went dark, like a room with the lights turned off.
No, it's even more terrifying than that.
In fact, Faust could sense it.
At this very moment, all the distant stars in the Universe have had their light extinguished.
The entire Universe was plunged into darkness at that moment.
It's as if the light projected onto the white screen of a movie is blocked, and when the flowers are shrouded in shadow, every darkened spot withers and fades, turning into scattered dust.
The previously successful "Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon" game was thus broken and destroyed.
It felt like I was just dreaming.
Once again, their Magic was silently extinguished.
Everything on the battlefield fell silent at that moment.
"..."
The battle was over.
As Faust stood there, bewildered and at a loss, the figure of a noble and magnificent Demon King reappeared beside Faust.
The Demon King, unaware that he had somehow already put away Faust's Grimoire, held it in his hand, lowered his head to examine it curiously, and said casually:
"Even if Al White comes herself, she doesn't think that launching another ' Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon will work on me."
The Overlord casually flipped through Faust's Grimoire. A Crystal was embedded in the cover of the Grimoire; it was Faust's Transformation Artifact.
However, the book was now easily in the hands of Overlord.
"Your Overlord, I was so foolish to attempt to test you with such clumsy means. I have overstepped my bounds, and I beg you to punish me as you see fit."
Faust chuckled dryly and immediately tried to do something from the bottom of his heart to get the legendary, tyrannical Serpent Demon King to forgive his previous transgression and disrespect.
As long as she could live, she was willing to immediately grovel before this Demon King.
At this point, Faust no longer had time to pay attention to what was happening with Little Princess Dailuoluo.
When the Overlord saw that the Alchemist had finally realized the difference in strength between friend and foe, he smiled.
"Come, tell me, little Alchemist."
"Has the Kingdom's laws become more permissible over the past few hundred years, allowing you to enter and leave Earth?"
"Or is there some ulterior motive behind this? Is that why you smuggled yourself here without permission?"
As a former noblewoman of R'lyeh, no one knew better than Lilith Alchemist and their descendants had done in the Kingdom.
They enjoy pushing the boundaries of taboos, their greed is insatiable, and they are always plotting all sorts of schemes that will cause great chaos.
Therefore, R'lyeh.
Furthermore, although they are often ill-intentioned and arrogant, they also have the advantage of being good at following their hearts.
"It is so, Your Majesty. I did not expect you to appear in this way. I was thinking of reclaiming the great power you left behind in order to inherit your past achievements..."
Faust said these words without batting an eye, which is hard to imagine coming from the mouth of a Crown Rank Magic Girl.
Of course, she knew this excuse was very weak, and quickly added:
"Of course, if I had known His Majesty would return, I certainly wouldn't have done such a foolish thing."
"However, now that Your Majesty has returned, you will surely seek revenge against R'lyeh. If Your Majesty has any needs, I, Faust, am willing to serve you to atone for my previous disrespect."
Having said that, Faust adopted a humble and submissive posture, which was quite pleasing to the eye given her outstanding and beautiful appearance.
At this moment, Faust's thoughts also became clearer.
Although they couldn't defeat the Overlord, there was no hope of ever getting back the Lost Paradise Twilight.
But she is at least a Crown Rank- rank Magic girl.
Overlord always needs henchmen.
However, pledging allegiance to the Overlord is not necessarily a bad option, since she has no loyalty to R'lyeh anyway.
Now, it remains to be seen whether the Overlord is willing to accept it.
However, in Faust's view, the other party had no reason to refuse.
As for the Overlord himself, he listened to all of this with great interest, neither refuting nor agreeing, while listening to Faust's words and flipping through the various contents recorded in Faust's Grimoire.
Suddenly, she noticed an interesting little ritual.
"Is this ritual used to attract the Lost Paradise Twilight and gain its approval?"
As the greatest Alchemist in history, Lilith immediately recognized the purpose of the ritual.
If she weren't there, this ritual might actually be useful.
"As you have said, Your Majesty."
"This ritual requires the sacrifice of Bloodline of sufficient importance from your clan. Where do you plan to find such a sacrifice?" Lilith seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Faust with some curiosity.
Faust smiled, naturally speaking freely:
"There just happens to be one in this city, but she's merely a mortal named Kougami Kage. If Your Majesty is also interested in this offering, I can go and capture her now to present her to you."
Upon hearing that name, Faust didn't notice that the air suddenly became inexplicably quiet.
After all, the Overlord didn't seem angry; he simply raised his hand, rested it on his chin, and seemed to be thinking for a moment.
"You just said your name is Faust, right?"
While she was thinking, she asked the question casually.
"Yes."
"I see."
Miss Overlord blinked.
Seemingly having finally finished thinking, she lowered her hand and suddenly smiled.
She tilted her head slightly, her deep purple Snake Eyes looking down at Faust:
"I admire your creativity and have decided to forgive your previous disrespect."
"And coincidentally, I just remembered something I need to ask you to do."
The Serpent Demon King's smile was gentle and relaxed.
These forgiving words made Faust breathe a sigh of relief and a hint of joy appear on his face.
She bowed respectfully, appearing ready to listen attentively and await the Overlord's announcement.
This most powerful Witch never keeps people in suspense.
Afterwards, the Overlord used the simplest words to state the result, it was truly a very simple sentence----
"Death penalty."
Lilith, the Overlord, smiled calmly.
"Yes, sir... What did you just say?"
Faust smiled at first, but halfway through her sentence, she was astonished, thinking she had misheard.
She slowly raised her head, her face blank and her neck stiff.
However, at this moment, the Overlord had already raised her hand, one hand grasping the Lost Paradise Twilight, which she hadn't truly used throughout the entire battle, and the scythe blade of that Magic Wand, symbolizing the end, suddenly shone with cold moonlight.
Miss Overlord smiled brightly.
Volume Four Does This Count as a Magical Girl??: Chapter 42 A Small Act of Concern, Please Accept It
It seems that the legends about the Overlord's tyrannical and capricious nature are true.
Faust's mind was no longer occupied with any other thoughts, only how to escape.
She immediately retrieved her Grimoire and activated the Teleportation Magic within it.
As it turned out, it had absolutely no effect.
