Demon Form? Demon King Form!
While Xiaoxia slightly relieved, boundless anger also rose in her heart.
She's been tricked again!!
"You despicable bastard!! When you get back, I'll make you pay for this and show you what cruelty truly means!!!"
Xiao Bai, who had once again outmaneuvered Chen Xiaoxia, had already left the wealthy area.
To avoid being discovered by the Magical Girls, Xiao Bai deliberately found an almost deserted abandoned building, entered it, and deactivated her Magical Girl Form.
Then...
Looking at his own hands, which had also shrunk, Fang Ming fell into deep thought.
Good news, he can also revert from Magical Girl Form.
Bad news, his real body has also become as small as his Magical Girl Form!!!
No... this isn't right!?
I've never heard of improving one's strength changing one's age!
What on earth is going on???
Fang Ming paced back and forth, puzzled.
"Hmm... Could it be because my life level has increased? So, my life cycle has been lengthened, causing my original age to become childhood??"
Fang Ming suddenly had a nonsensical guess.
When the magic evolved into 'Magic Source', Fang Ming could feel his body undergoing a further sublimation.
This sublimation doesn't seem to come from the Magic Source, but rather from an external cheat code that has been incorporated into the source of Magic Source Skill.
Simply put, Fang Ming transformed from a normal living being into Long-Lived Species.
Although Magical Girls do not age after gaining magical powers, their age is fixed after reaching a certain point, and they forever maintain a youthful appearance.
But their lifespans also diminish, and they eventually die.
Fang Ming is the same; his lifespan is also limited. However, compared to the Magical Girls who have no other means to extend their lifespan, Fang Ming, with his skill panel, has infinite possibilities.
However, normally speaking, if Fang Ming cannot find other ways to prolong his life, he will probably die in a few hundred years, at most no more than a thousand years.
But now...
He felt like he could live a very, very long time... a very long time.
Therefore, it makes perfect sense that his body is reconstructed and his age is reborn...
"Bullshit! Why don't you just turn me into a baby? That would be so much more logical!!"
Fang Ming couldn't help but pick up a brick from the ground and throw it aside.
Of course, he only said that; he wouldn't actually want to become a baby.
"Aww!!!! So... so cute!!!!"
Fang Ming was angrily lost in thought, a sharp scream suddenly rang in his ears.
Before he could turn around to see who it was, Fang Ming felt his feet leave the ground.
His body floated in the air, held in someone's arms, his cheek suddenly rubbing against someone's. Smelling the familiar scent of shampoo, Fang Ming raised his hand to push away the cheek rubbing against his face, feigning anger as he said:
"Xiao Chun! Stop!"
"Even when she's angry, she's so cute!!"
As if bewitched, Xiao Chun's eyes seemed to be filled with hearts.
She stared intently at Fang Ming, a glint of something glistening on her lips, looking as if she might devour Fang Ming alive at any moment.
"Xiao Chun!!!"
Sensing danger, Fang Ming instantly raised his fist and slammed it hard into Xiao Chun's forehead.
With a thud, Xiao Chun screamed and let go of her arms.
Fang Ming successfully escaped from Xiao Chun's arms and said to her seriously:
"Calm down!"
"Uh... yes... I'm sorry, I got too carried away just now..."
Xiao Chun finally calmed down and knelt obediently in front of Fang Ming, seemingly regaining her usual composure.
This assumes you ignore the fact that she wiped her mouth with her sleeve.
Xiao Chun's actions naturally did not escape Fang Ming's eyes. He looked at Xiao Chun, who had suddenly transformed into a spaceship, and rubbed his temples hard with his fingers.
Seeing that Fang Ming was indeed having a headache, Xiao Chun finally returned to normal. She blinked, looked at Fang Ming, who looked even smaller than Dongdong, and asked softly:
"So, Brother Fang Ming, your true form has also turned into a child?"
"... Isn't this obvious!"
"So, this really is your true form..." Xiao Chun muttered to herself, seemingly relieved.
"?"
A question mark appeared above Fang Ming's head; he didn't understand what Xiao Chun meant by that.
But Fang Ming didn't ask any further questions, after all, there were more troublesome problems at hand.
He looked down at his current appearance, flicked his sleeves which had become extremely large due to his shrinking size, and sighed:
"... Now I'm in trouble. I can't possibly go back like this. Xiao Qiu and the others aren't stupid. If I go back in this form, I'll definitely be exposed."
If it's just that the Magical Girl Form shrinks, that's fine.
Since his strength was still there, the difference in size wouldn't affect his power, so Fang Ming didn't care.
But now even its original form has become like this, which is quite a headache.
Xiao Bai shrinks, Fang Ming also shrinks. Coupled with the subtle Suggestion from the Sky Screen over several episodes, the Magical Girls should be able to guess immediately that Fang Ming is Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai is Fang Ming.
Going back as he is now would be tantamount to Fang Ming proactively confessing to Xiao Qiu and the others that he is Magical Girls.
Therefore, he cannot go back in this manner.
But it seems that Fang Ming not going back is also not an option.
Xiao Bai shrinks, Fang Ming starts disappearing, which will also arouse the suspicion of the Magical Girls!
Neither advancing nor retreating is an option.
Fang Ming got stuck here.
Chapter 264 Demon Form? Demon King Form!
"... Have you found the reason why it shrank?"
After managing to calm down, Xiao Chun leaned close to Fang Ming and asked.
"It's probably... because of the advancement in my life level that my apparent age has regressed... In short, it seems like I've become Long-Lived Species."
Fang Ming shared his guess.
Xiao Chun looked shocked for some reason upon hearing this. "An... Long-Lived Species?! Does that mean, Brother Fang Ming, you... you'll be able to maintain this state for a very long time?!"
Xiao Chun's gaze swept over Fang Ming. She seemed to see something, and her face flushed slightly. Then she muttered to herself:
"... But it seems pretty good too?"
Bang!!
"Ouch--" Xiao Chun's head was flicked by Fang Ming again.
Fang Ming's expression was unfriendly as he coldly said to Xiao Chun, "... Xiao Chun, it seems I need to control the 'extracurricular books' you've been reading lately."
"Huh?! Wait, Brother Fang Ming, I wasn't thinking anything just now!"
"Only someone who's thought something would say that!!!" Fang Ming immediately retorted, then sighed and stepped back, looking at Xiao Chun with a complicated expression.
It seems like he's ruined this child; his brain is now filled with who knows how much lewd nonsense.
If I could use my ability to burn away memories on others, burning away all the useless junk in Xiao Chun's head, that would be wonderful.
Unfortunately, it's unusable.
Fang Ming turned his gaze away from Xiao Chun, who was rubbing her forehead, and got back to the main topic. He stroked his chin thoughtfully and stared at the 'Demon Form' on the panel for a while.
He said to Xiao Chun:
Stay away from me.
"!!!" Xiao Chun's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She stepped forward and hugged Fang Ming, saying, "I'm sorry, Brother Fang Ming, I know I was wrong! Don't hate me!"
"... What are you thinking! I'm going to use a new move, and I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you, so I'm telling you to stay away from me! Also, don't move your hands!"
Fang Ming pushed Xiao Chun away.
Perhaps because she had shrunk and lost the intimidating aura that adults possess, Xiao Chun had become much bolder, daring to hug him directly, and her little hands were not very well-behaved.
No... maybe Xiao Chun has always been very bold...
Fang Ming thought of that kiss from before, and his feelings for Xiao Chun became even more complicated.
He sighed, reluctantly pushed Xiao Chun away from him, and stood a little further away from her before saying to Xiao Chun:
"If anything unexpected happens to me, like I become 'unrecognizable to my own family' or something, don't hesitate, activate Shining Form immediately and call Xiao Qiu and the others over, understand?"
"... Um."
Fang Ming's serious expression, Xiao Chun's smile vanished.
She nodded earnestly, nervously watching Fang Ming standing in the center of the abandoned building.
Having confirmed that Xiao Chun was ready, Fang Ming slowly inhaled, focusing his consciousness on [Demon Form], and chose to activate it!
Boom!!!
Black magical energy flowed outwards, and Fang Ming's body was also enveloped in black and red magical energy.
Under the amplification of this power, Fang Ming felt as if his body was growing. He could see the ground getting farther and farther away from him, and distant objects getting smaller and smaller.
A manic and negative force roamed within him, stemming from negative emotions that attempted to invade his mind, but were quickly suppressed by Fang Ming.
Magic began to condense and take shape on his body, forming a sturdy armor, and something seemed to be breaking through the skin and growing on his forehead.
The violent magic did not last long.
In about three to five seconds, Fang Ming completed his Demonization.
"This feeling..."
Fang Ming looked down at his hands.
At this moment, his height is definitely greater than before he shrunk. Judging from the surrounding landmarks, he should be about 2.4 or 2.5 meters tall.
The muscles on its body became thicker, and it was covered with black armor. The patterns on the armor were basically the same as those on Xiao Bai its Erosion Form.
Looking up at Xiao Chun again, he saw that Xiao Chun was staring at him warily.
She had transformed into Magical Girls and simultaneously activated her Shining Form. Looking at Fang Ming with a mixture of nervousness and worry, she cautiously inquired:
"Fang Ming... brother...?"
It's me.
Fang Ming replied.
His voice deepened, as if it had its own reverberation, and even when he did nothing, he exuded an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.
But upon hearing Fang Ming's reply, Xiao Chun felt relieved. She gently patted her chest and said:
"Phew... that scared me to death! I thought you'd completely turned into Demons, Brother Fang Ming!"
What do I look like now?
"Hmm... a little scary, but... so cool!" Xiao Chun said, taking out her phone and starting to take pictures like crazy. After she finished, Xiao Chun handed the phone to Fang Ming.
Fang Ming took the phone from Xiao Chun and looked at his own photo on it, unable to help but complain:
"... Where did this Demon Lord come from?!"
In the photo, Fang Ming is tall and covered in black and red armor. He has curved horns growing from his forehead and wears a helmet that covers the horns as well.
