Make Her Passing Less Painful
A deep red cloak hung to the ground behind him, and his vertical pupils, which had turned from brown to crimson, were looking towards the phone, radiating a cold and eerie light.
If Fang Ming hadn't known it was him, he would have thought this was some kind of world-destroying Demon Lord who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
And this is the Demon Form.
Fang Ming held his phone, staring at the photo of himself, lost in thought.
Xiao Chun came closer. She wasn't very tall to begin with, and now that she was standing next to Fang Ming, she could only barely reach Fang Ming waist, making her look like a real little child.
She looked up at the tall Fang Ming and asked with great concern:
"Brother Fang Ming, are you alright?"
"Hmm." Fang Ming nodded in a deep voice. He looked at his skill panel and said softly, "I can still control it, and... it seems to have a new ability."
As he spoke, the armor on his body disappeared, and his height gradually decreased until he returned to his normal height.
The horns on his forehead disappeared, and his crimson vertical pupils returned to their normal color.
[Flesh Control].
This is a magical ability after Demonization, and like [Severing] and [Chains], it is a form that comes with its own magic.
After Fang Ming activated the Demon Form, the Magical Girl Form was displayed as [inactive], and the Magical Girls's exclusive magic disappeared from the panel, leaving only some general magic that could still be used.
The magic used in the Demon Form and the Magical Girl Form is not the same.
However, in his normal form, Fang Ming seems to be able to use both types of magic simultaneously, albeit very weakly.
"It's back to normal!"
Fang Ming return to normal, Xiao Chun exclaimed in surprise.
Fang Ming let out a breath and clenched his fist. "It's only temporary. This form consumes my magic power, but... it's enough to disguise myself as normal."
Fang Ming is now 'normal' because he used his flesh and blood control ability to compress his excess muscles and bones.
Although he wouldn't feel pain under the influence of magic, compressing it while maintaining its mass still required a considerable amount of magical power.
The smaller the compression, the more magic power he needs.
Speaking of Fang Ming, I just want to complain.
When he switched from his childlike form to his Demon Form, he didn't mention anything about the 'law of conservation of mass'.
Why does he start talking about science when using his powers after transforming into his Demon Form?
So your science is also idealistic?
Fang Ming didn't understand, nor did he want to. Since there was no need to worry about 'Fang Ming' not appearing, he didn't care whether his true form was an adult or a child.
It's better to say that children are better.
At least, he couldn't possibly do anything wrong before his body matured again.
Fang Ming glanced at Xiao Chun.
Xiao Chun: "?"
Ignoring Xiao Chun's question, Fang Ming's mind raced, and in an instant, he reverted to his boy form, then transformed into Magical Girls, and said to Xiao Chun:
"We can go back now. I've found Luna's location. We'll go there together in a bit."
Xiao Bai's clear yet childlike voice rang in Xiao Chun's ears.
Having witnessed Xiao Bai's 'magical transformation,' Xiao Chun blinked, still recalling Fang Ming's Demon Form from earlier.
In his Demon Form... he's very tall, and the little boy Fang Ming is so cute!
Despite her loli-like Xiao Bai possesses a charmingly unexpected and endearing side.
If she could really win over Fang Ming, wouldn't she be able to experience different forms of...?
Bang!
"Ah!"
Xiao Chun had only thought halfway through when Xiao Bai gave her another solid slap on the forehead.
This time, Xiao Bai didn't use a finger flick, but instead used his fist. Xiao Chun's forehead was a little red and swollen, but she didn't cry out in pain this time. Instead, she stuck out her tongue at Xiao Bai shyly.
"Hehe~ I wasn't thinking about anything just now~"
"..."
Xiao Bai stared at Xiao Chun with a disdainful expression that said, "This child is completely hopeless."
After a long while, she sighed again and whispered to Xiao Chun:
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go back."
The shrinking incident has come to a temporary end. In any case, apart from his height and apparent age, Xiao Bai's strength has not only not decreased, but has actually increased again, returning him to the undisputed top tier!
Since that's the case, Xiao Bai has nothing to worry about.
As long as it doesn't affect my own strength, I can do whatever I want.
The most urgent task is to find Xilisi and Luna.
Today, while searching for Xilisi in Erosion Form, although I couldn't find the big catgirl, finding Luna was still pretty good.
Luna has been missing for so long, she may have already obtained clues related to the Aurora Society. Even if she doesn't have any clues related to the Aurora Society, the mere fact that 'all the Magical Girls are gathered' is a very meaningful thing.
So tonight, all the Magical Girls set out and headed to A City to search for Luna's whereabouts.
It was precisely at the moment when everyone was mobilized that the screen in the sky lit up again.
Episode 7.
Start the screening!
Chapter 265 Making Her Pass Away Less Pain
The scene doesn't immediately pick up where the previous episode left off.
It happened just a few days earlier outside the mansion.
Because of the heavy snow for several days, the mansion was covered in a blanket of white, with thick snow piled up on both sides of the road, and even the usually neat grass was completely covered by snow.
The air temperature dropped so low that even people wrapped in down jackets would feel a chill outside.
But this chill was like a spring breeze in front of the Magical Girls; it was cold, but not too cold.
Especially Xilisi, whose body is covered in hair.
She rolled around in the snow, having a snowball fight with Aurora, completely oblivious to the snow covering her from head to toe, playing carefree.
Aurora didn't know how long she played before she stopped to rest, watching the energetic Xilisi running happily around in the snow.
Fang Ming walked over at this moment and handed her a cup of hot tea. He looked at Aurora was brushing the snow off herself, and said with a smile:
"It seems you and Xilisi get along very well."
"Hmph, I only helped out because you and Xiao Bai were busy. Don't misunderstand."
After being scalded by the hot tea, Aurora began to sip it slowly, saying with an air of arrogance.
Fang Ming didn't expose her. He looked at Xilisi rolling around in the snow in the distance, remained silent for a while, and then suddenly said to Aurora:
"Although I might just be overthinking it, you should be prepared."
"Hmm? What preparations?"
Aurora, holding a cup of hot tea, tilted her head and asked.
Fang Ming said solemnly, "No matter what, Xilisi has been modified by the Aurora Society. Perhaps one day, Xilisi will be unable to resist the Aurora Society's control and will turn against us. At that time..."
"..."
Aurora remained silent for a while, then Aurora:
"... By then, I'll find a way to bring her back."
What if we can't bring them back?
"Then I'll make sure she doesn't Pain too much when she leaves."
Aurora said earnestly and resolutely.
Xilisi, who was playing in the distance, did not hear the conversation between Aurora and Fang Ming. She gathered the snow in her hands into a ball, threw it forcefully into the sky, and then looked up at the snowflakes falling downwards. She reached out her hands and caught them.
Perhaps sensing Aurora's gaze, Xilisi turned her head and grinned at Aurora.
That smile had a touch of silliness that made Aurora want to laugh.
Then--
That figure overlapped with the malevolent figure before them.
Aurora stared blankly at Xilisi, who stood there with a fierce look in her eyes, and held her breath for a moment.
Fang Ming's initial worries have become a reality before her eyes.
Xilisi.
They became enemies.
[OP plays.]
(Xilisi! My Big Catgirl!!)
(Little Red, you absolutely must bring Xilisi back!!!)
(Don't worry, Magical Girls are synonymous with 'miracles,' Aurora will definitely be able to save Xilisi!!!)
('Miracle'... you mean 'miracle', the kind of 'miracle' like Madoka's?)
(Shut up!!!)
Thanks to someone's 'efforts', the conventional Magical Girls who originally represented love and hope in this world now has a touch of 'dark and cruel' from another world.
In Fang Ming's novels, Magical Girls transform into Witch, their souls no longer belonging to themselves... These settings have dealt a severe blow to the hearts of people in this world.
Now, when people mention 'miracle,' they instinctively think of that novel, and then unconsciously associate it with everything in the Sky Screen.
It makes you feel like... a knife could be thrown from the Sky Screen at any moment.
However, because the first and second seasons of <The Magic Autumn> both had dark and tragic parts, but both ended happily, everyone felt that even if Xilisi really might fall into darkness, she would be pulled back by Little Red and the others.
Just like what Xiao Bai did to Dongdong, and what Xiao Qiu did to Xiao Bai.
But... they seem to have overlooked one thing.
If that's the case, then why didn't we see Xilisi in either the opening or ending theme?
"Xilisi will be alright, right?"
Xiao Qiu, who was searching for a base somewhere in A City, sought advice from her companions via Telepathy.
Everything displayed on the Sky Screen is the 'future'. No one knows what will happen in the future; they can only rely on past experience to judge how things will develop.
Based on past experience, Xiao Qiu felt that Xilisi should be fine.
But his intuition told her that things might not be like that.
"Oh no... I have a bit of a stomachache..."
The events unfolding on the Sky Screen reminded Chen Xiaoxia of the scene where Sayaka transformed into Witch.
Think about how Kyoko and Madoka in the novel also tried to awaken Sayaka, who had become Witch, because they believed in love and hope.
Looking at the 'possessed' Xilisi in the Sky Screen, Chen Xiaoxia couldn't help but feel a stomachache.
The other Magical Girls didn't reply, it was unclear whether it was because they were focused on finding Luna and hadn't looked at the Sky Screen, or whether they simply didn't want to answer.
For a moment, the atmosphere among the Magical Girls became quite serious.
[The opening sequence ends, and the camera first focuses on Xiao Bai.]
She looked down at the wound on her arm. Because she dodged in time, the wound on her arm looked serious, but it was actually just some superficial injury and would not hinder her from fighting.
In addition, Magical Girls have strong regenerative abilities, so these wounds are nothing to Xiao Bai.
On the contrary, Xilisi in front of him seemed to be completely controlled by the Mutant Magic. Her black and white fur was covered with many marks caused by the magic's erosion.
"Little Red, Xiao Lan, you two go and find a way to wake up Xilisi. The rest... I'll take care of it."
