Chapter 289

"Heh, as expected of Magical Girls uses modern weapons as her Magical Armament, her magical power is indeed very strong, but unfortunately—"

Avery's voice appeared in the void.

In a flash of black shadow, Avery suddenly appeared beside Luna!

"--I have the [Shedding] magic!"

Avery shouted and kicked Luna, who was preparing to defend herself!

"!!!"

Luna, who had been using her Precognition magic, knew Avery's attack trajectory in advance. The moment Avery lifted his foot, she turned the muzzle of her hand cannon towards Avery.

Boom!!

Luna fired again, her body recoiling backward, and at the same time, Aurora's support arrived!

"Go to hell!!!"

The blue figure retreated, and the red figure pressed forward. Facing Avery, who was trying to ambush Luna, Aurora held nothing back at this moment. She poured all her magic power into her right fist and, just like when she first became Magical Girls, unleashed this all-out punch!

The magic was concentrated to a single point, and space seemed to shatter, with tiny black spots appearing along the path of Aurora's punch.

A punch, filled with anger and murderous intent, landed on Avery's chest.

A red beam of light shone from behind Avery, and the clouds gathered in the sky were scattered by the remaining force of the punch.

Avery's body was shattered once again, but then Avery's figure flashed, leaving behind only an empty shell of a body.

[Shedding] Magic!

"Tsk, can't be killed... troublesome!"

Seeing that her all-out punch had failed to kill Avery completely, Aurora curled her lip in impatience.

Avery's body solidified once more.

He distanced himself from the Magical Girls, gently touching the spot where he had been hit, and said in a deep voice:

"It seems I underestimated you all, but... that's enough for now!"

Avery flew into the sky.

He hovered in mid-air, arms outstretched, and endless magic power gathered in his arms, the dark purple light covering the sky, like a small dark purple sun.

"All of you—die!!!"

"Not good!!!"

Upon seeing the dark purple energy sphere, Kelly immediately said to Aurora:

"Prepare your defenses immediately!!"

"!!!"

Aurora obediently set up a defensive array in front of her, while Luna, standing beside her, transformed her Magical Armament into a special riot shield and erected it in front of her and Aurora.

Just as the two finished their defensive preparations, the dark purple sun exploded in the sky!

That's right, it didn't fall downwards, nor was it thrown by Avery in front of Aurora and the others.

It simply exploded in mid-air.

Yet, just like that, the world was shrouded in pure light!

It lost its sound and its color; the earth instantly vaporized, and the barrier was shattered in an instant.

A massive mushroom cloud rose above the town, the shockwave from the blackish-purple airflow obliterating the buildings at its center. The remaining shockwave traveled further afield, shattering rocks, burning trees, and engulfing everything in the pervasive energy surge.

After all of this was shown, the loud roar finally appeared on screen.

Rumble--!!

A mushroom cloud rose into the sky, resembling a nuclear explosion, over the town.

The survivors, who had already been moved by Luna, watched this scene in shock.

Further away, Xiao Bai, who had appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the unconscious Hunter and frowned as he watched the erupting scene.

She didn't look well; there were persistent dark red veins on her chest that rose and fell with her breath.

Once everything had calmed down, Xiao Bai put Hunter down, then vanished in a flash.

As the explosion subsided, Aurora and Luna, who were at the epicenter of the blast, crawled out of the rubble, looking disheveled.

Their clothes were torn, and their bodies had some charred marks, indicating that they had not fully withstood the explosion.

And that's not even the worst of it.

Worst of all, Avery was still standing perfectly fine in the air!

He was clearly heartbroken recently, yet he seems completely unharmed!

"What is this... cough cough...?"

Aurora struggled to her feet and asked Kelly.

Kelly replied solemnly, "I don't know, but judging from the type of magic, it should be based on the same principle as a nuclear explosion in your human world! This kind of magic..."

Snap, snap, snap.

Applause erupted from the sky. Avery, always eager to express himself, thoughtfully offered an explanation after Kelly finished speaking:

"You're right. The inspiration for this spell comes from nuclear weapons, or rather... because the 'holder' of this unique spell was someone who had researched it before. He was a very talented old gentleman, but unfortunately... he went down the wrong path."

"Hypocritically!"

Aurora spat at Avery.

This action made Avery's voice turn cold:

"... Such a rude appearance, as expected... Making you a Magical Girls is an insult to Magical Girls... Since I can't kill you in one go... then... let's do it again!"

After Avery finished speaking, he raised his right hand, and magic once again gathered in his palm.

In that instant, the Magical Girls's expression turned serious.

[An attack like that just now... Could Avery do it again!?]

(Wow! This person is really disgusting and difficult to deal with!)

(How come they keep revealing their cards? How am I supposed to play like this?!)

(Don't worry, Xiao Bai will take care of it)

(Xiao Bai doesn't seem to be in very good shape either...)

(Wait, where's my cousin?! Why did Xiao Bai only save Hunter?!)

(I don't know.)

(Never mind that for now, your cousin's definitely alright, Xiao Bai, hurry up and save Aurora!!)

The plot unfolding on the Sky Screen took a sharp turn for the worse. During the earlier battles, Avery employed one tactic after another, putting Aurora and Luna at a disadvantage.

The final [Detonation] spell was also incredibly powerful, almost like a miniature nuclear bomb.

Thanks to the Magical Girls' thick skin and the protection of their magical shields, they were unharmed. Otherwise, this one spell would probably have rendered Aurora and Luna unable to recover.

Volume 3 Side Story <Magical Girl Aurora>: Chapter 317 So what exactly did Xiao Bai say?

"However... now that things have come to this, I can guess how we'll ultimately deal with this guy."

Despite the situation taking a sharp turn for the worse, Kelly seemed to have guessed something and said this to everyone.

Chen Xiaoxia looked over curiously and asked:

"What method?"

"Magic Link."

Kelly pronounced the word carefully.

Xiao Qiu tilted her head slightly. "Magic Link?"

She looked at Avery in the Sky Screen and asked in a daze, "Is it like that bad guy, connecting magic to each other?"

"That's right. Since the other party increased their total magic power by using Magic Link, Aurora can also temporarily increase her strength in the same way!"

"And compared to other Magical Girls, Aurora has an absolute advantage in this regard!"

"How so?" Xiao Bai asked curiously.

Kelly explained, "Normal Magical Girls, because of their unique magic, have different ways of flowing magic. In order to Magic Link, they need a certain amount of time to adapt and coordinate, and they cannot use it immediately."

"But Aurora ..." Kelly's gaze fell on Aurora, "When she transforms, she's already familiar with the flow of magic in her other unique spells. She won't reject other people's magic as much, so as long as she has time..."

"... Little Red, this won't do! It seems this is the only way to defeat him!"

The 'Kelly' under the Sky Screen was right; Kelly on the Sky Screen had come up with the same idea as her at this very moment.

Magic Link!

Kelly said hurriedly, "The opponent's total magic power is wrong. He must have used a special method to Magic Link together, so if you want to defeat him, you can only do the same thing as him!"

"... Magic Link? How do I do that?" Aurora asked hurriedly.

"First... you need to familiarize yourself with Xiao Lan's magical properties... but that will take time..."

It not only needs time, but also Xiao Lan... that is, Luna, needs to become familiar with Aurora's magic.

But... will Avery give them time?

"Have you finished discussing it?"

Although Aurora and Kelly were Telepathy, Avery guessed that they were discussing tactics.

He not only gave the two time to discuss tactics, but also thoughtfully asked them a question after their discussion.

During this time, the dark purple sphere in his hand grew larger and larger.

"We've finished discussing... then let's die!"

The black-purple sphere, smaller than before but still containing powerful magic, was about to slip from his hand.

But at this crucial moment—

Splash--!

Silver chains flew in from all directions, layer upon layer, enveloping the black-purple sphere. Then, the encased black sphere was flung into the sky by an invisible force!

Boom!!!

Dark purple energy erupted at an altitude of ten thousand meters, and a powerful shockwave swept downwards, but it did not cause much damage.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing silver chains, the Magical Girls were pleasantly surprised, while Avery abruptly turned to look to the side.

"It's you!!"

"Xiao Bai!!"

"Cough cough... Teacher Bai...?"

Three people, three different names.

Of course, what's most puzzling is Avery's reaction when he saw Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai stood on the chains, looking down at Avery, and raised an eyebrow, asking:

"... Do you know me?"

"Of course, among the three Magical Girls, your energy response is the highest, and... your attraction to Mutant Magic is also the highest. You... are you really Magical Girls?"

Avery looked at Xiao Bai with a serious expression.

Xiao Bai ignored him and instead Telepathy to Aurora:

"I'll stall him, you guys figure out a way to complete what you call the 'magic link'..."

"... Are you sure you're just 'delaying' them?"

Aurora asked, half-jokingly.

She knew exactly how strong Xiao Bai was; with Xiao Bai involved, Avery was definitely doomed.

That's what Aurora thought, but to their surprise, after hearing this, Xiao Bai paused for a moment and whispered:
