The Strong Always Arrive Last
The shadows of fists were numerous, and in just a moment it seemed as if countless fist shadows flashed across the sky, converging on a single point in a short time!
Countless fists landed on the same spot, and cracks appeared on the reddish-brown armor.
Feeling the power surging from her opponent's fist, Aurora's pupils contracted, and Kelly gasped in surprise.
"It... it's actually studying?!"
From initially acting like a wild beast, only using roars and claws, to now imitating Aurora by using fists and feet, it proves that this Demons is learning and evolving!
It is transforming into an intelligent being!
Chapter 219 The Strongest Always Arrive Last
Demons are all intelligent.
When Demons's total magical power reaches Lower Rank, they will develop their own intelligence.
However, for Demons of Lower Rank, even if they develop intelligence, that intelligence is basically related to their own Desire.
Furthermore, based on satisfying their own Desire, they do something that Demons would do.
Destroy the world, spread despair.
However, the Werewolf Demon is different from a normal Demons. It is not born from human Desire and negative emotions. Its true form is a fusion of the genes of multiple organisms, and it is a creature that is more real than a fantasy creature.
Before absorbing the power of Nightmare, it was simply a monster that fought only on instinct.
This can be seen from the fact that it couldn't utter a single word at the beginning and could only roar.
Based on mindless monsters, the Werewolf Demon should not normally develop intelligence. After all, if it could develop intelligence, it should have been born when it came into contact with the Mutant Magic, and there would be no need to wait until now.
But the current situation is that the Nightmare Power from the Nightmare Seed has combined with the Mutant Magic within the monster, producing some unexpected chemical reaction!
This monster is evolving into a true Demons!
"Cough cough--!"
The wolf monster's concentrated attack caused Aurora to feel pain in her chest. She coughed Pain, but instead of retreating, she raised her hands and grabbed at the Werewolf Demon.
In Defensive Form, Aurora is extremely powerful in terms of defense, but the trade-off is that her speed becomes extremely slow.
This is an extremely high level of defense achieved by sacrificing speed and agility; otherwise, it would be impossible to withstand the current frenzied attacks from the Werewolf Demon!
There's no way to dodge, and running away is out of the question. Even if she switches to her Lightning Form, Aurora has absolutely no chance of escaping the Werewolf Demon is even faster than her!
So now there's only one choice left!
"You bastard... that hurt really badly!!!"
Aurora roared and lunged at the Werewolf Demon with both hands, trying to bind it to her and give Luna a chance to charge up her attack.
However, due to its excessive weight, the Werewolf Demon easily dodged Aurora 'Aurora grab attack before she could even grasp it, thanks to its incredible speed.
With a flash, the Werewolf Demon appeared beside Aurora. The red light in its eyes faded slightly, as if Aurora's taunt ability was becoming less effective.
But the wolf monster continued to attack Aurora.
Its figure flashed to the other side, and even more dense and rapid punches landed beside Aurora!
Thump thump thump--!
A barrage of deadly attacks rained down, cracking Aurora's side armor.
Aurora reached out to grab it, but the Werewolf Demon dodged again, this time appearing behind Aurora.
"No! We absolutely cannot continue to passively take this beating!"
Kelly was calling out inside Aurora's head.
Aurora gritted her teeth, occasionally blocking the wolf monster's punches aimed at her face, and said to Kelly:
"I... of course... know! But--!"
Bang!!!
Suddenly, the Werewolf Demon that was striking Aurora's body stopped abruptly.
Half of its body was smashed, and bright pink blood splattered all over Aurora.
Then came the sound of gunfire from afar, which reached Aurora's ears. Looking in the direction of the sound, Aurora saw Luna setting up her gun in the distance.
Hundreds of meters away, Luna stood atop a tall building, crouching on its edge, holding a sniper rifle that was almost longer than her entire body.
White smoke billowed from the sniper rifle's muzzle, proving that the shot had just been fired by Luna.
Pulling the bolt, reloading, the Magical Armament sniper rifle ejected a spent cartridge case enveloped in azure light.
Luna then pulled the trigger again on the Werewolf Demon!
Bang!!
But before Luna pulled the trigger, Aurora heard the wolf's voice.
"Is the threat... over there...?"
"!?"
No sooner had the Werewolf Demon finished speaking than bullets flew out and gunshots rang out, but the Werewolf Demon himself had already vanished from the spot!
The bullets missed their mark, and in the near-frozen moment, the Werewolf Demon raced toward Luna at breakneck speed!
During the run, half of its flesh, bones, meridians, and muscles were shattered and were rapidly reconstructed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
When the Werewolf Demon arrived in front of Luna, her body had already been completely restored!
"Such a fast recovery speed! What exactly is its ability?!"
Lien, who was standing next to Luna, couldn't help but gasp when she saw this.
Luna didn't have time to think. As Lien cried out in surprise, she threw Lien away and decisively stomped on the ground beneath her feet!
Boom!
The architectural projections within the Magic Barrier shattered under Luna's foot.
Luna's body then plummeted downwards, causing the Werewolf Demon's claws to strike empty air!
But in a split second, the Werewolf Demon reacted. It turned around and chased after Luna as Luna descended!
But what followed was a torrent of bullets raining down at breakneck speed!
Da da da da--
What was originally a sniper Magical Armament, now transformed into a compact and powerful submachine gun!
The submachine gun has an extremely high rate of fire, unleashing countless magical bullets in a short period of time. In a slowed-down view, you can see the magical runes attached to these bullets!
These are explosive bullets!
Rumble!
In that instant, a series of explosions rang out in the air. Surprisingly, after the explosions, these explosive bullets did not burst into flames, but instead emitted a cold, icy current!
These are Freezing Explosive Bullets!
This is also one of Luna's abilities!
Ice covered the Werewolf Demon, freezing its body and slowing its already incredible speed.
As the Werewolf Demon's body was frozen, Luna's submachine gun transformed again, becoming a hand cannon.
"Die."
Luna coldly pronounced her judgment on the wolf monster, and the magic power stored within her hand cannon was unleashed in an instant!
A surge of immense magical power shot from below into the sky, completely engulfing the frozen Werewolf Demon!
All of the above occurred within a few seconds of the fall.
As the Magic Cannon fired, Luna's body fell to the ground.
She adjusted her posture, landing on one leg, kneeling on the ground like a superhero landing, before looking up at the sky, awaiting the results of her series of attacks.
Aurora, watching from afar, took in the entire scene. She stared wide-eyed at Luna and exclaimed in surprise:
"Xiao Lan is this strong?!"
"... Well, strictly speaking, she should be your senior, so it's normal for her to be a bit stronger."
Kelly wasn't surprised by the strength Luna displayed.
Luna became Magical Girls earlier than Aurora, and given that she possesses the Emotion Seed, allowing her to enhance her magic power without transforming, her current performance is considered average among genius Magical Girls.
Aurora is the abnormal one.
Even though this guy can only activate his Emotion Seed and increase his magic power when he transforms, he still manages to keep up with Luna's pace.
It seems that every time she transforms, her magical power increases at an accelerated rate.
This puzzled Kelly somewhat.
Perhaps this is one of the functions of the cell phone I'm using?
"No... oh no! That guy isn't dead!"
Aurora didn't have time to analyze why Luna was so much stronger than her. With her sharp eyes, she had already seen that during the brief moment Luna landed on the ground, the frozen wolf monster had actually broken out of the Light Cannon's range!
The icy blue frost on its body was shattered by its violent movements, and the frozen flesh inside scattered in all directions as it turned into even smaller pieces of ice.
But the Werewolf Demon recovered completely from these injuries in just one breath.
It arrived at Luna's side with greater speed and strength, and just as she was about to raise her gun, it suddenly struck, kicking Luna in the chest!
Bang!!!
Luna was kicked away, and before she could react, the Werewolf Demon reappeared beside her, then raised its right foot high and stomped hard on Luna's body.
Upon seeing the familiar movements of the Werewolf Demon, Aurora's pupils dilated.
The kick just now was the same kick Aurora used on the Werewolf Demon earlier!
This high-speed pursuit and stomping on the ground was exactly the move Aurora used against the lizard monster in the junkyard last time!
This Werewolf Demon... is actually mimicking Aurora's actions?!
"Pfft--"
As Aurora was still reeling from the shock, Luna was already spitting out blood.
She fell to the ground, and the Werewolf Demon's foot, which was the same size as her torso, stepped on Luna.
The sharp wolf claws on its toes were only centimeters away from Luna's chin.
A ranged shooter being controlled like this is basically a checkmate.
Luna had almost lost the strength to resist!
"Oh no! Little K, switch to Lightning Form! We have to save her!!"
Aurora adjusted her stance, preparing to switch to her Lightning Form to rescue Luna.
But Kelly knew very well that, given the speed of the Werewolf Demon, Aurora simply couldn't make it to that distance!
Unless... Aurora's strength has now advanced to the Middle Rank!
But watching a Magical Girls die right in front of her wasn't in Kelly's nature, so even though she knew it was impossible, Kelly still did everything in her power to make Aurora transform.
To their surprise, after controlling Luna, the Werewolf Demon did not immediately kill her. Instead, it suddenly clutched its head and muttered to itself in apparent Pain:
"A magical... girl... dead...? No... bring her back... no... the Magical Girls... needs to be... eliminated... no, she needs to be brought back... damn it..."
Luna: "...?"
With blood at the corner of her mouth, she stared blankly at the Werewolf Demon.
She could sense the murderous intent emanating from the Werewolf Demon, yet its actions left her utterly perplexed.
What's going on?
Although she wasn't quite sure what was going on, Luna knew that this was her chance to escape.
She barely managed to raise her Magical Armament right hand, intending to unleash a powerful attack on the werewolf so she could escape.
But at that very moment, the sound of unfamiliar chains suddenly echoed through this space!
Splash--
The sound froze everyone in place, including the struggling werewolf, who couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.
