Xiaoxia's Cry
Aurora 'Heart of Passion reignited, and crimson magic surged from her body as she charged towards the Fish Monster, Bauer, once more!
The battle resumed, Fish Monster Bauer dodged and weaved against the wall. His hands, now transformed into webbed feet, seemed to possess a special adhesive force, allowing him to cling to the wall like a gecko.
As Aurora charged towards him, Bauer, while dealing with her, also kept trash-talking Aurora:
"Ha, you really are just an ordinary girl with no knowledge. It's a disaster that the power of magic has fallen into the hands of someone like you."
"To hell with your disaster! The fact that such a disgusting organization Aurora Society exists in this world is a disaster for all of humanity!"
Enraged, Aurora slammed her fist down, tearing a large hole in the metal wall in front of her and revealing various pipes and wires behind it.
The Fish Monster Bauer twisted its body to dodge the attack, its tail whipping towards Aurora once more.
"What do you know?! You clearly possess this magic! You could share its power with the whole world! Instead, you're just playing around with it! You're wasting resources! Wasting time!!!"
"We just wanted the light of magic to shine on this world, what's wrong with that? What's wrong with that?!"
The Fish Monster Bauer's tone grew increasingly agitated and furious.
Driven by anger, he became even stronger, leaving dents and footprints on metal walls and the ground as he dodged and ran.
The tail that lashed out at Aurora was like a weapon weighing a thousand pounds in mythology; the wind it generated carried the power to send people flying!
Hearing his nonsense, Aurora was so angry she laughed.
She had never seen such a shameless person, making such a bad thing sound so noble.
But Aurora wasn't good at arguing, nor was she good at purifying her soul.
The former is something Chen Xiaoxia or Xiao Bai would do, while the latter is something Xiao Qiu would do.
These are not Aurora's 'jobs'. There is only one thing Aurora can do now, and that is to smash this disgusting monster in front of her!
"... I'm too lazy to continue talking to you, Little K, Composite Form."
Aurora whispered to Kelly.
Kelly paused for a moment, then asked, "... This move doesn't seem to have been used in actual combat yet?"
"Now it's time for real combat! My uncle's sister specifically asked me to come here because she wants to see my skills! Well then, I'll show her!"
"All right..."
Kelly stopped trying to stop her. A special magic erupted from Aurora's Emotion Seed. Red and blue power flowed across Aurora's body, changing the shape of her armor.
Composite Form.
It was Fang Ming who proposed the idea for Aurora.
Now, whenever Aurora uses her power, she switches to a separate form and then fights using the magic of that form.
Red represents power, yellow Speed Demon, blue represents healing, brown represents defense... and so on.
However, each time one form is used, the power of the other form cannot be used.
So Fang Ming gave Aurora a suggestion: to try combining the two types of magic to activate the 'Composite Form'.
The essence of the Composite Form is a new form that is created by combining two or more types of magic. The ultimate goal of this form is to integrate all magic into oneself, achieving the Final Form where one can use all magic simultaneously!
With the help of Fang Ming and Xiao Bai, Aurora has gained a basic grasp of this form, but she is not yet ready to put it into actual combat.
This is the first time today!
"It's changed form again...?"
Bauer glanced at Aurora, who was undergoing a transformation, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.
Within the Aurora Society, Aurora's information was actually the most complete and detailed, even surpassing that of the number one Magical Girls, Yu Muqiu!
Because Aurora's magical powers are most likely to be taken away, the Aurora Society the most detailed information about her!
It was because of this detailed information that Bauer knew that every time Aurora appeared in a new form, it meant that her strength had increased.
Some even speculate that Magical Girls are actually idealistic beings!
Their basic strength is completely unimportant. At a specific time, in a specific place, and when faced with a specific event, they may unleash power several times, or even ten times, greater than they originally possessed!
Xiao Qiu's Shining Form, Xiao Bai's Erosion Form, and now Aurora's Composite Form are all examples of this!
Therefore, what needs to be done now is actually quite clear.
Whoosh--!
In the 0.1 seconds it took Aurora to transform, Bauer devised a plan and turned to run.
Aurora isn't the only Magical Girls in the base, and now Aurora's unleashed a new form that's never appeared in the Sky Screen before.
If Bauer doesn't want to be used as experience points for the enemy team and eliminated, his best option now is to run away immediately!
That's what Bauer thought, and that's what he did.
The Fish Monster's dark gray body ran through the long corridor. Thanks to its heightened sense of magic after transforming into a monster, the Fish Monster Bauer was able to detect danger and avoid places where Magical Girls were most likely to be present.
Its speed is getting faster and faster.
Within a confined space, it actually unleashed a speed that broke the sound barrier!
Just you wait, Magical Girls! Once I enter the water, absorb the power, and advance to the Middle Rank, I'll come back and settle the score with you!
Bauer's mind was now dominated by the Demons's thoughts; he was focused on how to escape and get back to take revenge on the Magical Girls, without ever considering seeking help from other members of the Aurora Society.
But... no matter what Bauer chooses, the result will be the same.
Crackling and popping--
Lightning flashed behind him as Aurora, having successfully transformed, took a starting stance at the end of the passage.
A sword had appeared in her hand without her noticing.
It is a long sword made up of Chihiro Twin Swords combined!
Thunder rumbled beneath his feet, and a burst of red energy propelled him from behind. Amidst the golden and crimson light, golden and red lightning leaped through the corridor!
The golden power of lightning and the red power of explosive energy were perfectly combined at this moment.
The Fish Monster Bauer, who had already traversed several corners and covered hundreds of meters, only had time to turn around and glance back when he heard the sound.
Then he saw Aurora passing by him, and his own body continuing to rush forward due to inertia.
"?"
The Fish Monster's head fell to the ground. He stared incredulously at Aurora, who stood beside his corpse in a 'finishing' pose, his fish eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.
This is impossible!!
How is this possible?!
Even with shape transformation, it's impossible to unleash such a rapid speed!!
In that instant, Bauer, now Fish Monster, felt a deep empathy for the Demons who had been vanquished by the Magical Girls.
These Magical Girls are really unreasonable!
Chapter 249 Xiaoxia's Crying
When Aurora finally mastered the Composite Form and killed Dr. Bauer.
Xiao Bai was standing in the database of the experimental base, flipping through the records and documents.
After they emerged from the submarine, they had Kelly hack into the surveillance system via the local area network. Then, Xiao Bai and the Magical Girls split up to search for the important parts of the place.
The Magical Girls especially focus their searches on places where data might be stored.
During this time, Xiao Bai went to the laboratory to release all the strange experimental beings still in the incubation chambers before turning around and coming to this data room.
Releasing these experimental monsters was simply a way to make the Aurora Society members reap what they sowed, saving the Magical Girls the trouble of taking action.
This will also lessen the Magical Girls' feelings of guilt.
I'd like to specifically mention Xiao Qiu here!
She is too kind-hearted to bear seeing anyone get hurt in front of her, and even now, when faced with monsters attacking experimental personnel, she will take the initiative to save them.
If Xiao Qiu were to actually kill the staff here, she might not be able to get over it herself.
By letting these test subjects do the work, Xiao Qiu will at least feel less guilty.
As for those who will ultimately survive...
It doesn't matter, Xiao Bai will handle it.
"... Unexpectedly, they stumbled upon a way to enhance Mutant Magic."
After reviewing the base's information, Kelly spoke solemnly.
Xiao Bai frowned and took out another document to read.
She whispered, "Mutant Magic absorbs the despair of intelligent beings, so... all the cruel things they do during the modification process become nourishment for enhancing Mutant Magic..."
Why do those monsters in the Sky Screen possess the strength of Lesser Demons simply because they have Mutant Magic?
That's the reason!
When the flesh and blood implanted with Mutant Magic become the core of those modified beings, the stronger the will of the modified being, the stronger its Desire to survive, and the more modifications it undergoes, the more likely it is to experience extreme Pain and despair.
This Pain and despair, aroused by magic, became the nourishment for cultivating Mutant Magic.
Therefore, as long as these strange individuals continue to live and undergo modification, they can easily evolve into Demons and possess true Demons power.
But as those who have seen the Sky Screen know, after evolving into Demons, the Aurora Society will gradually lose control over the monsters.
Therefore, most of the monsters here are sealed away and put to sleep in cultivation tanks after they have gained power.
The experimental subject that comes closest to the 'finished product' is the Big Catfish that is still running around the experimental base.
It possesses the power of Lesser Demons, and its magical power appears to be stronger than Aurora's.
I wonder how much Pain one must have endured to possess such immense Despair Magic.
"Unfortunately, there are no clues or records from other bases." Xiao Bai put the documents back and sighed softly.
There is indeed a lot of information here, but unfortunately, the Aurora Society is so afraid of these Magical Girls that they refuse to leave any clues.
Each base is almost independent, so even if one is exposed, it will not delay the experimental progress of the other bases.
But at least we now know the total number of Aurora Society's experimental bases.
Three large experimental bases and thirteen small experimental bases.
Now, one large base has been destroyed, and two of the thirteen small experimental bases have also been destroyed because of Xiao Bai and Aurora.
With all of Aurora Society's public businesses acquired by the Federation and major corporations, Aurora Society no longer has the financial resources to build a new experimental base.
Every base that's taken down is one less available.
Furthermore, given that Sky Screen might expose the existence of its base in the future, the Aurora Society's living space will shrink even further, and their demise won't be long.
"But we didn't find the white tiger girl here," Kelly said. "The experimental subjects here are all related to aquatic creatures."
Xiao Bai wasn't surprised. She used her magic to sense the aquatic experimental subjects running around the experimental base and explained:
"They fused biological genes with human genes and added Mutant Magic to neutralize them, barely managing to create these mindless monsters."
"Now that their main resources have been cut off, the only genes they can obtain are from the creatures in the nearby waters."
The experimental base is located on an isolated island, and for convenience, the Aurora Society naturally use materials available locally.
The ocean is teeming with life, so they have no worries about a lack of material. Therefore, it is quite reasonable that most of their experimental subjects are aquatic species.
"Oh?" Suddenly, Xiao Bai turned her head to look in a certain direction and nodded slightly.
"It seems the concept of 'Composite Form' is correct."
Now is the perfect time for Aurora to slay the Fish Monster, Bauer.
Kelly's Data Doppelganger, having received the data transmitted from the main body, agreed and said:
"Theoretically, it's feasible, but because there can be conflicts between different types of magic, I've never thought about it in that direction... Mr. Fang Ming's thinking is indeed more agile; he truly deserves to be a world-renowned novelist."
"..."
Actually, he wasn't that smart; he just watched 'Tiga' in his past life.
Kelly praised Fang Ming, Xiao Bai didn't respond.
She crossed her arms, rested her fingers on her chin in thought, and after a moment, asked Kelly:
"Any progress on the drug that Dr. Bauer injected?"
