Chapter 580
After a long silence, in this cold and despairing world, the girl, who had given up resisting, simply opened and closed her mouth slowly, word by word, in a low, hoarse voice:
"... But isn't that a lie too?"
The girl with black hair, her dark eyes drooping somewhat listlessly, gazed helplessly into Lilith's eyes.
Lilith sat on Kirishima Ai's lap, remaining silent for a while, like a statue, without uttering a word.
The snow fell on them, and they were freezing cold.
And with this, the deepest recollections of the soul come to an end.
It was still a cold, snowy plain, and the night sky of an endless winter.
Having lost all their Crystal, the Overlord and the Banyuan gazed at this scene, seemingly saying nothing.
Their transformations ended, and then even the Overlord's Magic Wand disappeared.
After Lilith's transformation was Overlord, she was just like the figure in the snowfield—a girl with long, silver-gray hair that fell down her slender back, her appearance perfectly matching the snowy landscape.
She was certainly not that willful or hysterical.
He simply stared blankly at himself lying in the snow with a silent, cold expression.
"..."
"It's not over yet."
Lilith said.
She raised her hand, as if trying to summon something.
Not all Crystal have disappeared from this world.
In the deepest part of her heart, those most essential things, those things that truly belong to her, will still remain there.
That was neither the Lost Paradise Twilight nor the Devil King Crystal.
It was a Crystal left on Kirishima Ai's body. A dark red Crystal, as hot and bright as a flame, flew out and landed in Lilith's hand.
---- Phoenix Crystal.
At the same time, Kirishima Ai discovered that the Paired Wings Magic Wand in her hand seemed to be uncontrollably flying over as well.
She tried her best to preserve it, but only managed to keep a broken wing.
The part that once belonged to the Fallen Heaven fell into Lilith's hands.
"To be honest, this originally belonged to me."
"Although I read some absurd and boring ramblings... in any case, with that, it's all over."
The gray-haired Witch gazed at her original Magic Wand and Crystal.
So she pressed the Feather Wing on her Magic Wand.
The Fairies voice, asking "Which to Choose?", rang out once more.
Next is the embedding of the Crystal ---
"---- The Phoenix Myth."
Because it's Lilith, she can transform into that form, that original pose, even using only half of the Magic Wand.
"Transformation."y/u*e-𫔌
The flames melted the snow, dispelling all the cold, and seemed to burn away the entire winter. The magnificent flames then scorched everything in sight from white to a blazing crimson.
The firelight transformed into countless Asuka, surrounding their sovereign.
She still wore a deep black gown, but this time it was adorned with dark red fiery feathers, making her look so luxurious and beautiful.
Bird System Magic girl in her youthful form emerges from the dissipating flames.
"The sacred bird that burned the world to ashes is also a god."
The Witch opened her blazing purple eyes, and the world, which had been shrouded in darkness and gloom, was illuminated by the firelight.
Three pairs of burning wings, as bright as the sun, scorched the wind and snow into water vapor.
"Magic Girl----- Heavenly Blazing Kite."
And that concludes everything.
Even in the deepest part of this world, Lilith can still use Crystal transformation.
However, Kirishima Ai no longer had any usable Crystal.
There is no possibility that this story will take a dramatic turn.
So she said---
"Isn't it time to end this?"
"Um."
Kirishima Ai nodded.
It's time to end all of this.
But after answering, Lilith, who had transformed into Heavenly Blazing Kite, felt something was off.
It didn't seem to mean what she imagined.
But what reason is there to stop it?
What else can do that?
She saw Kirishima Ai and picked up the last Magic Wand.
The first and the last --- Broken Wing.
Lilith was puzzled until she heard an incredible sound emerge in this winter world.
A sound she couldn't understand.
Birdsong.
The Witch paused for a moment, then dazedly raised her head and looked up at the sky.
It looked as if a pure white feather had drifted down.
The color might be mistaken for snow, but it was actually bird feathers. Amidst the swirling snowflakes and deep within the dark sky, a snow-white bird flew out.
She seemed to be flying towards Kirishima Ai.
Kirishima Ai simply raised her hand.
The beautiful silver-white bird flew and circled, finally transforming into light and falling.
It transformed into a silvery-white Crystal and fell into Kirishima Ai's hand.
The girl held the Crystal in her hand.
"What you said before was a lie, I still believe it."
This is proof.
As if she had known everything all along, Kirishima Ai's voice was calm and unwavering.
Lilith just stood there, motionless.
Watching the girl embed the Crystal into her Magic Wand.
"---- Silver White Feather!"
The Crystal shone with a dazzling and beautiful silver light.
Pure and spotless, just like this winter scene, with its clean and transparent light, untouched by any impurity.
Once again, the whole world was blanketed in heavy snow.
Even Lilith couldn't tell whether what was falling were feathers or snowflakes.
Finally, she said:
"Transform."
Like the hero in the final act of a story.
Like a ray of light offering salvation in the midst of despair.
However, when those feathers, radiating pure white light, drifted away, and the figure of Magic girl emerged from them, Lilith was reminded of something else.
It was like a pure and beautiful wedding, with the bride wearing a pure white wedding dress.
"Immaculate! Pure! Beloved!"
She was both the embodiment of this snowy day and a beacon of hope dispelling the cold and despair; she was a Magic girl more beautiful than any Lilith had ever known.
"Transcending infinite time, hidden in the primordial purity of the symphonic soul!"
In the end, a pair of pure white Feather Wing woven from light unfurled behind the Magic girl, seemingly like a real bird, capable of flying to any sky she desired.
It was the pure white bird that Lilith had imagined, immaculate and untouched.
"Magic Girl Silver Kite-- "
In the very end, the two Magic girls who would decide the final battle were not the Overlord and the Banyuan.
Instead, they were the original two Bird System Magic girls.
Scorching flames and silvery white, Feather Wing burned to ashes, and pure, flawless white wings.
"----- Beloved Wings."
This is the final battle.
Volume Four Does This Count as a Magical Girl??: Chapter 90 Snow Dance
Why is the Silver Feather Crystal here?
There's nothing surprising about it; you don't even need to guess to know why—it's because a certain Magical Bird has also joined forces with Kirishima Ai.
Lilith suddenly remembered.
Previously, there was a battle between the Fate Kite and the Dark Kite.
In the final moments of the battle, everything inside the protective shield became blurry and nothing could be seen. In the end, Kirishima Ai and Kuroki Yuka both fell down.
With the remaining strength of Fate Kite, how was she able to defeat Purple Kite, who had almost no energy depletion at the time?
It turns out that they had already mastered this power back then.
Although reason was considering these matters, the truth was that Lilith's other thoughts had been completely captured by the appearance of the figure before her. Her usually cold and unyielding dark Snake Eyes were momentarily illuminated by the pure white girl.
Like the pale, cold dawn, like the bewildered cries of a newborn, like pure white flowers and tears, and like the heavy snow in my memory—cold yet pure.
However, that flawless whiteness is less like winter flowers and frost, and more like white birds.
A bird with beautiful, snow-white Feather Wing.
In the past, Lilith had imagined such a snow-covered scroll, and imagined a Magic girl in this story who brought hope and redemption.
Like a savior who brings an end to all tragedy and misfortune, she radiates a pure white light similar to that of the original Magic girl.
But there are Feather Wing that are even whiter and freer than those.
Like a pure white bride in a wedding dress, or an eternally pure anemone.
---It was as if she had woven it herself.
"..."
Heavenly Blazing Kite lowered his eyes, remained silent for a while, then raised them again.
It seems this is the final battle.
Both of them fight in their original Magic girl forms.
The scarlet Magic girl, with three pairs of blazing flame wings behind her, was as bright and warm as the sun, melting the snow and evaporating water vapor. However, soon the snow fell heavier and heavier, and with a gust of snow wind, the white waves of wind engulfed the two figures in the howling wind.
The next moment, a raging fire engulfed everything in the desolate snowfield, turning everything pure white.
Magic Girl Heavenly Blazing Kite, Lilith's original form.
In the past, this form, which was not Sacred Domain, was enough to rival Sacred Domain.
