Chapter 351
"War Demon, your opponent is me."
Xiao Bai raised his scythe, the tip pointing at the tall, giant-like War Demon.
The War Demon remained silent. The towering figure held a massive axe nearly three meters long, which appeared almost slender in comparison to his physique.
He was covered in black metal armor, like a heavily armored knight from the Middle Ages; if he had a horse under his feet, he would look even more like one.
At this moment, the War Demon stood like a small mountain blocking the path of the petite Xiao Bai.
Upon hearing Xiao Bai's words, the War Demon swung his giant axe, a double-edged axe with its tip pointing at Xiao Bai.
Then came the War Demon's deep, muffled voice:
"You? A Magical Girls can't even activate Shining Form?"
"..."
Xiao Bai didn't answer.
Upon hearing the term "Shining Form," Xiao Bai instinctively wanted to retort. She wanted to say that she had many other methods, and even without activating Shining Form, she might not be a match for the War Demon.
But the words were on the tip of Xiao Bai's tongue, and she swallowed them back.
Many methods?
Why do I have this thought?
Clearly, aside from being able to transform into Magical Girls, she has no special abilities whatsoever...
Unable to recall, Xiao Bai's brows furrowed deeply, the feeling of having forgotten something growing stronger.
However, the War Demon had no intention of letting the Xiao Bai think any further.
Seeing that Xiao Bai remained silent, the War Demon completely lost the Desire to talk to Xiao Bai. Instead of pointing at Xiao Bai, it swung its giant axe, smashing the barrier in the air and swinging it horizontally towards Xiao Bai.
The raging wind pressure, and the mere aftershocks from swinging the giant axe, lifted Xiao Bai's feet off the ground.
But Xiao Bai used the impact of the opponent swinging the giant axe to leap high into the air, swirl the scythe, and swiftly bring it down on the War Demon's vitals!
Clang!!!
The scythe struck the War Demon's armor. The War Demon was completely covered by armor, especially his vital areas. He could easily block the enemy's attack with the armor with just a slight movement.
That's exactly how it is right now.
Xiao Bai's attack, which concentrated all his power and magic into a single point, was blocked by his heavy armor!
Looking at the armor again, apart from a silver-white scratch, there was no other damage!
"With such a vast difference in strength, do you still intend to put up a stubborn resistance?"
Seeing that Yu Muqiu and the others had already run far away, the War Demon did not intend to kill Xiao Bai immediately. He Youyou asked Xiao Bai a question, completely disregarding Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai remained silent, stubbornly charging at the War Demon once more. Countless chains became her soldiers, and she waged a one-woman war against the Demons who represented war.
However--
Bang!
The silver-haired girl who charged into battle was held in the hand of a giant Demons.
With such a huge gap between ranks, Xiao Bai, who is only near the Upper Rank and cannot even activate his Shining Form, is simply no match for the War Demon.
Her body was being compressed, Xiao Bai felt death was so close. Under the immense pressure, she heard the groans of her internal organs.
"Foolish," the War Demon mocked Xiao Bai. "You really think I can't catch up with those fleeing Magical Girls?"
"!!"
"Heh, as long as they're in this world, they'll never have a chance to escape. Our army... is right outside your world; you have nowhere to run."
"..."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll keep you alive so you can see... how the comrades you want to protect die right before your eyes..."
The War Demon grinned maliciously.
He was enjoying the despair that Xiao Bai was experiencing; that was exactly what he wanted to see.
Xiao Bai was furious and struggled. She wanted to use her last bit of strength to self-destruct and show the War Demon her true colors.
However, upon realizing that the world was already heavily surrounded by Demons, Xiao Bai abandoned her thoughts of dying.
She can't die yet. She has to tell Xiao Qiu about this, or at least warn them not to run away from the world. That way, they might still have a chance to fight back!
That's right, we can't die. Not only can we not die, we also need to find a way to escape.
But... what should I do?
What should I do?
Unable to activate his Shining Form, he's completely cornered...
Is there another way? Why do I feel like there's still a way? What have I overlooked Oblivion...?
No, I shouldn't be thinking about that now. I need to figure out how to activate my Shining Form... Once I have the power of Shining Form, I'll be able to cross the barrier Middle Rank and Upper Rank, defeat the War Demon in front of me, and give Xiao Qiu and the others a hint.
Yes, Shining Form!
In a daze, Xiao Bai seemed to hear Xiao Chun's voice.
What does it feel like to activate Shining Form?
That was a long time ago, when Xiao Bai and Dongdong were hiding from the Federal Government. Xiao Bai asked Xiao Chun, who had just activated her Shining Form, what it felt like.
Although Xiao Bai had asked Xiao Qiu only gave vague answers such as "I felt a surge of power" and "it burst out with a bang."
When Xiao Chun heard Xiao Bai's question, she tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying:
"It's probably just an emotional 'surging'?"
"How so?"
"Feeling resentful, or having an obsession with something—basically anything that can stimulate one's emotions—can further ignite the Emotion Seed."
Xiao Chun added, "But this requires certain qualifications. If you don't have the qualifications to activate Shining Form, no matter how excited you are, you won't be able to activate Shining Form."
"... Isn't there a trick to it?"
"If you really want to know the secret..." Xiao Chun thought for a moment, then said earnestly to Xiao Bai, "Clear your mind, don't have any thoughts other than 'defeating the enemy' or 'protecting your companions'."
And this is the prerequisite for activating Shining Form.
Feeling the pain in her body, Xiao Bai closed her eyes.
She stopped thinking about what she had forgotten, and stopped considering whether she had any other trump cards up her sleeve.
At this moment, Xiao Bai had only one thing on his mind: to defeat the War Demon!
Only by defeating the enemy can I survive and better protect Xiao Qiu and the others!
That's right, forget that feeling of having forgotten something, ignore it, don't think about it, just focus on your own emotions, and imagine the feeling of emotions surging.
Then...
Let it erupt!
Boom!!!!
A dazzling white light shot straight into the sky, Xiao Bai's clothes seemed to be plated with a layer of silvery-white metal, replacing the original black.
The light scorched the War Demon's palm, causing him to instinctively release his hand and quickly move away from the source of the light.
The War Demon looked at the silver-haired girl with a wary expression.
The silver-haired girl now looked completely different from before.
Her silver hair and snow-white skin remained unchanged, but her clothing and weapons had undergone further transformations.
Her original black coat, which resembled a military uniform, had been transformed into a silver-white cape, and the inner lining had become a prince-like formal dress.
White boots encased her legs, which were clad in pure white stockings, and the skirt she wore fell just above her knees, revealing her shapely and full legs.
If Xiao Bai previously gave people the feeling of a female general on the battlefield.
So, at this moment, Xiao Bai is a pure white princess who has stepped out of a pure white world!
That dazzling pure white appearance is proof of its Shining Form!
But after activating its Shining Form, Xiao Bai froze in place, failing to deliver a fatal blow to the War Demon.
She looked at her hands, then at the War Demon that had become illusory before her, and sighed.
"... So it was just a dream."
The words fell, and the world shattered.
She regained her memories.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 381 Season 3 Officially Begins!
"Operation Shine Xiao Bai! Operation a success!!!"
"Ohhhh!!!!"
At the celebration banquet that night, Xiao Qiu held up a glass of juice and shouted happily.
Xiao Bai sat at the table without saying a word, simply eating silently.
That's right, the War Demon invasion and the world being on the verge of destruction are all fake; they're all scenarios constructed in a dream.
The reason Xiao Bai doesn't remember these things is thanks to Stella's abilities.
After communicating with Stella that day, Xiao Bai took the initiative to let Stella enter his consciousness and pre-defined the memories that needed to be sealed, handing them over to Stella to set up the memory barriers.
Because these memory barriers were simply pre-cutting open the memories that Xiao Bai had divided, Stella had no idea what was in those memories; she only knew that they must be things that were very important to Xiao Bai.
But segmenting memories is only the first step.
The loss of memory will make Xiao Bai realize that something is wrong. If he regains his memory during the Shine process, all his efforts will be in vain.
Therefore, the second step is for Xiao Bai to create a scenario where she has absolutely no time to think about such things.
That's right, it's a battle against the powerful Demons, the War Demon!
Therefore, Xiao Bai called Yu Muqiu and others, explained the specific reasons to them, and asked them to help him put on a show.
This refers to the previous incident where the Magical Girls were defeated in a battle against the War Demon.
Finally, there's one crucial move.
The lack of memory will make Xiao Bai feel strange, and the incoherence of memory will also make Xiao Bai feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, Xiao Bai also needs to write his own script, filling in the gaps in the disjointed memories.
That's why Xiao Bai gradually 'remembers' everything during the battle with the Demons.
And all of this was a script written by Xiao Bai himself.
That's how it went. Although it was quite troublesome, Xiao Bai did indeed awaken the Shining Form as he wished.
And...
Xiao Bai looked at his skill bar, his eyes shining.
[Shining Form: LV3] -- [??? Form: LV0]
Shining Form awakens at LV3 immediately!!
This level means that Xiao Bai's magic power amplification can be increased by more than three times!
Furthermore, a new form has been added after the Shining Form, which is undoubtedly the Dawn Form. It is only at LV0 because it has not been activated yet.
Although the process was a bit troublesome, Xiao Bai felt refreshed and invigorated as soon as he saw his skills.
Who says Shining Form is bad? This Shining Form is amazing!
Even the Demon Form only changes its own magical attributes, and the increase in strength is only slightly more than two times.
The Shining Form jumps directly to LV3 and can increase the magical power of Xiao Bai's Magical Girl Form by three times. This skill is practically a bug!
"The power of idealism... this is the power of idealism..."
Xiao Bai sighed inwardly.
