Chapter 555
In contrast, Thousand Sins was all alone, his young and frail figure almost colorless in the face of this pure light.
In this light, Thousand Sins gently waved his long nails and stepped towards the brighter area. His figure and silhouette were illuminated by the light, making him appear even more dreamlike.
The Magic girls behind him were all witnesses.
At this point, it seemed that some astute young nobles noticed something amiss.
"Why does this person seem to have... a rather unusual relationship with His Majesty?"
Although this Thousand Sins seems to be Royal Family as well, that seems like a pointless statement.
But... isn't that right?
"..."
Upon seeing the other person's radiant and aloof figure, Thousand Sins seemed to recall certain feelings from the past.
However, now is not the time for such emotions to prevail.
Now that everything is clear, verbal responses are of little importance at this point.
As the one who initiated the duel, Thousand Sins should take action.
Her Majesty the Queen's first show her, Her Majesty, a little bit of concern.
---So, the other Magic girls saw that Thousand Sins raised the Cross-shaped Great Nail, and then, a vast and surging Magic Power, like the deepest ocean and sky, gathered on the Magic Armament.
The forbidden Serpent Magic Power exudes a ferocity powerful enough to tear apart other Magic Power themselves, unleashing a deafening roar like that of a demonic dragon, stirring up wind and shaking the entire world.
Many of the weaker Sacred Domain Witch almost lost their footing in the face of this terrifying surge of Magic Power, staring blankly at the scene.
The crimson glow had already stained the sky, forming a cross shape that was constantly destroying and devouring everything in its path.
Thousand Sins stood still, still gathering momentum.
Thousand Sins has always possessed Magic Power at the level of Demon King, and after the battle with the Torch Dragon Black Death Cult, his total Magic Power and various stats continue to increase.
This attack, amassed without any interference, was powerful enough to severely damage the Magic girls' ultimate enemy; it was a true Crown Rank attack.
Seeing that the Queen showed no intention of dodging, Thousand Sins unleashed his attack.
"----- Giga Cross Extinction!"
The final blow that once dealt the final blow to Thousand Fiend is now being presented as a gift at the beginning.
It involves no skill whatsoever, but simply a devastating attack that engulfs everything in sight. Its immense power will annihilate and devour everything around it; it is an attack that, literally, can cause the heavens and the earth to collapse.
The clouds in the sky were burned away, and the earth, after being destroyed and ravaged, was torn in two.
However, the Queen still showed no intention of dodging.
This scene immediately reminded Thousand Sins of the Overlord had fought Dailuoluo before.
Just as the blow was about to strike the ground and touch the Queen, the pure white Queen raised her sword and then, as if sweeping away dust.
------ (This is a stroke of the pen.)
All that everyone saw was a sword light that seemed to appear like the dawn breaking. Then, from one end of their vision to the other, the sword light split the sky and the earth in two. The crimson cross that stretched to the horizon also seemed to freeze at that moment, cut in two by the sword light.
The flow of the world seemed to be slowed and frozen by this sword strike. The Magic girls could see the attack of the Thousand Sins being split apart in the still sky, until the upper and lower parts shifted to each other and tilted to the left and right respectively.
At first, there was no sound.
As people began to hear the sound, the attack, composed of the Serpent Magic Power that had been severed in two, had already transformed into a traceless explosion that devoured everything around it. In that instant, everything in sight was swallowed up and permeated by a chilling crimson.
It was hot enough to evaporate the earth's heat, like a pitch-black sun.
The torrent, carrying ashes and flames, once turned the world into a Red Lotus landscape.
The terrifying explosion's aftershocks could still disintegrate even if the Magic girls watching were far enough away.
The Holy Tree Duke had to create a transparent barrier to protect the weaker ones.
The aftershocks created ripples.
The howling Skywind swept across the entire world at this moment, as if the heavens and earth had turned upside down. Everything was swept upward by the wind and mist stirred up by the sword light, unable to maintain its original balance.
The many Magic girls present were all amazed by the power of their noble Queen, their hearts filled with reverence, and they showed expressions of worship and astonishment.
Such a powerful attack... was so easily severed?
Her Majesty the Queen did not even reveal her full Magic Gear.
In the howling, surging winds, Thousand Sins emerge from the dust and fire.
... Although she had expected it, it was still quite exaggerated.
Moreover, the way this woman handled things with such ease was strikingly similar to her sugar daddy/mother.
"..."
At this moment, Thousand Sins once again clearly realized who her opponent was.
But...
She gripped the Magic Armament once more, and its deep red light instantly solidified and gathered power again.
In everyone's view, a cross, exactly the same as before, and even more terrifying, was created a second time, faster and stronger than before, reaching its peak almost without any charging process.
The battle has only just begun.
Volume Four Does This Count as a Magical Girl??: Chapter 72 Going All Out
From the very beginning of R'lyeh's founding, whenever the Queen changed hands, the new heir to the crown had to prove his bravery with the sword, demonstrating his royal qualities to the world through glorious battles.
Such duels were given a sacred name.
Generally speaking, this battle is often a glorious defeat, since the previous Queen was recognized and crowned by the Genesis Crystal, making her almost impossible to defeat.
Throughout history, only Queen Al White in the present day has defied this common sense in her crown heirs.
She is the only Royal Family Magic girl who, without inheriting the throne, was able to defeat the Queen at the time.
---However, that is not the case at this time.
Another situation also applies to Holy Duels.
That is, when the current Queen fails to rule wisely, and when the Kingdom's trajectory deviates from its original purpose, any young Magic girl can use her own sword to question and advise the Queen.
However, before that, simply reaching the Emperor's presence was already an impossible task.
Even the many Witch of R'lyeh who have lived for countless years have never seen anything like this before.
So, what were the reasons behind this young girl's questioning of all this, and what outcome did she hope for?
My vision was once again stained crimson by the Demon King's blood.
The Magic girls watching witnessed a scene that could only be described as insane.
The Magic girl named Thousand Sins unleashed that final, cross-shaped attack once more. The soaring crimson flames, accompanied by an unparalleled howl, swept across the overburdened world, replicating the grandeur of not long ago.
Even if it is blocked again, it doesn't matter.
The world, now completely covered in blood red, has once again seen the cross of judgment and destruction rise.
" --Giga Cross Extinction!!"
"---- Giga Cross Extinction!!"
"---------- Giga Cross Extinction!!"
That was an offensive that even the terms "storm" and "torrent" couldn't adequately describe.
The giant nail was raised, again and again, and the crimson cross formed from violent Snake-Type Magic exploded, crashing towards the Queen like surging tsunamis.
The Magic Power seemed endless.
The Thousand Sins "Giga Cross Extinction" was being unleashed again and again, with the raging torrent of blood and wind seemingly determined to repeat this relentless offensive until it took effect.
Like a mad wolf that opens its blood-red maw, raises its terrifying claws, and keeps tearing and gnawing.
The roars that echoed through the sky rose and fell in waves, never pausing for a moment.
However, the Magic girl who met this attack— Her Majesty the Queen R'lyeh —simply raised her longsword, and a pure white light instantly rose, forming a curtain connecting heaven and earth, like a wall of sighs, completely repelling the attack.
But this Barrier has its limits.
With a cracking sound as it could no longer hold on, the curtain was completely torn apart and destroyed by the blood-red slashing light.
As the shattered wall of light fell from the sky, Queen Al White raised her head.
In that instant, a crimson figure pierced through the shattered barrier, reached the Queen's sky, and descended from the heavens.
The dark gold Cross Nail, its blade stained crimson, pointed at the Queen before plummeting straight down from the sky, tracing a straight arc like a shooting star before bursting into a spectacular display.
Al White seemed unperturbed; in her view, this attack posed little threat compared to the previous ones, so she casually slashed.
Accompanied by a seemingly silent, slashing sound.
The sound of the sword cutting through the air was audible.
The pristine white sword light instantly erased all the impurities of darkness and red in the sky, and also severed the figure of the Magic girl who was attacking from above.
"Um?"
Queen Al White gave a soft hum.
As the light faded, the figure severed from the sky transformed into a chaotic rain of flowers, each petal split in two before quickly withering and falling.
At that moment, she sensed a presence emerging from beside her.
It was the Magic girl, Thousand Sins, who had already raised the Cross Nail to her side and was about to slash at the Queen.
"-----clang!"
The Magic Power collision of light and snake.
The Queen raised her sword to block the attack, while two completely different winds rose up behind them.
Perhaps it was the long-awaited closeness of seeing his daughter again that made Al White's gaze fall on Thousand Sins's face, and then, as if unable to contain his emotions, he said softly:
"That face and expression remind me of Lily when she was little. I really miss her."
Thousand Sins's breathing became clearly audible---
"Lilith, is that the... my mother you've been longing for?"
The two were finally close enough that they could hear each other's voices.
So, Thousand Sins naturally brought up this topic.
After all, despite being so close, the weapon of Thousand Sins could no longer advance an inch.
The Queen's face and expression remained veiled by the light, shrouded in a hazy mist.
"Hmm, of course, Lily is my wife and lover, so you can only be our child, right?"
She smiled faintly.
Thousand Sins could almost hear the longing and affection she felt for her lover in that voice.
My breathing became more uneven.
"Phew... Then why?"
The girl suppressed certain emotions, gazing at the woman before her with her lamp-like eyes, and asked a question that seemed to have no expression whatsoever.
This time, the noble emperor didn't quite understand.
Queen Al White guessed, not quite understanding:
"You mean, why did I have you with Lily?"
Although they are mother and daughter, they do not really understand each other.
This is clearly not something Thousand Sins cares about.
"----You've been watching, haven't you?"
She refuted Al White's words.
Al White tilted his head.
Thousand Sins's expression, his usually indifferent eyes, now revealed a hint of unease, expressing a long-held, or perhaps even long-standing, confusion about this woman:
"You know Teacher Haihara, you know she's Lilith, and you know she's turning back into the Overlord she once was."
