Chapter 363
The Magical Girls see no hope of victory.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Movie and Season 3: Chapter 393 Activating Shining Form... Escape!
Those below the Sky Screen held their breath for the Magical Girls Sky Screen.
Fang Ming, standing below the Sky Screen, was pondering a way to break the deadlock.
Judging from the Blood Demon's performance in the Sky Screen, the strength of this clone after the Blood Demon's descent has definitely surpassed the boundaries of the Upper Rank.
It might only be a few units of magic power exceeding the Upper Rank limit, but given the difference in class, it's enough to crush Magical Girls.
The Magical Girls currently have no way to defeat the Blood Demon unless they destroy its Blood Demon from the start.
However, judging from the Blood Demon's initial performance, the Magical Girls were able to handle it in their normal state. Moreover, with their combined efforts, the Magical Girls completely defeated the Blood Demon in just over ten seconds.
Furthermore, no casualties were caused during the elimination of the Blood Demon.
The Magical Girls handled the situation well. If it weren't for the unexpected outsider, they would have easily defeated the Blood Demon Magical Girls.
No one could have known that the Blood Demon would descend upon this world, so naturally no one would have thought of using absolute power to directly transform the Blood Demon into pure magic power.
Furthermore, Chen Xiaoxia's attack was also deadly. Any Demons of the same level would have been completely annihilated by Chen Xiaoxia's attack.
Therefore, Fang Ming couldn't criticize the Magical Girls in the Sky Screen.
From their perspective, they have done the best they could.
As I said before, no one expected the Upper Demon to descend at this time.
Moreover, Chen Xiaoxia has already accomplished the goal of 'eliminating the Blood Demon before it arrives'.
They simply didn't do a good enough job; they didn't use the Magic Cannon to completely annihilate the Blood Demon.
However, in that situation, with Xiao Qiu and the others' current strength, using the Magic Cannon would likely cause even more serious damage.
Just imagine the scene when Xiao Qiu and Lesos annihilated the Magic Barrier of Spring City with a single shot during their battle; I doubt anyone would dare to actually fire such a shot at a city in real life.
Planning ahead is no longer an option.
But if the Blood Demon were to descend, that would be even more unacceptable.
Once the Blood Demon truly descends, it will become like this, and the Magical Girls are no match for it. After a brief exchange, two of them are instantly eliminated.
Even worse, they weren't even within the Central Continent District at the moment, so they had no use for the Magic Network prepared by Sky Screen Xiao Bai!
"The only option is to find a way to outmaneuver her."
After much thought, Fang Ming came up with a way to deal with the Blood Demon.
First, avoid direct confrontation. Second, find a way to lure it into the Central Continent District area. Only in this way can the Magical Girls in the Sky Screen possibly destroy the Blood Demon's clone!
[OP ends.]
The petite figure of the Blood Demon hung high in the sky.
She looked down at the ruins of the building, a slight smile playing on her lips, and held up her second finger:
"The second one... um?"
The Blood Demon was still admiring her victory when suddenly, a massive surge of energy appeared behind her, and Magic Cannon radiating pink Hope's Light flew straight toward her from behind!
Sensing the Magic Cannon, the Blood Demon slightly shifted her body, and the Magic Cannon brushed past her, piercing the sky and dispersing the thin mist on the clouds, making the sky clearer.
Watching the trajectory of the Magic Cannon, the Blood Demon followed the trail to the pink-haired Magical Girls. She licked her lips, making the color of her lips even more vibrant, and asked the pink-haired Magical Girls with a grin:
"Oh dear, you're angry because you saw your companion was injured?"
Boom!!!
Yu Muqiu didn't speak. Her eyes were slightly red and filled with anger. Holding her magic wand, she fired one Magic Cannon shot after another at the Blood Demon.
But the Blood Demon simply drew a circle in front of her with her finger, and a red blood shield covered her, launching the Magic Cannon away to land in the city at her feet.
Rumble!!!
The Magic Cannon was deflected by the blood shield, carving furrows into the ground.
Some buildings began to collapse, and screams of ordinary people could be heard not far away.
"!"
The screams reached Yu Muqiu's ears, causing her to freeze instinctively and stop her attack.
Seeing Yu Muqiu frozen in mid-air, the Blood Demon did not attack him as before, but instead paced back and forth in the sky.
Blood forms steps beneath his feet, taking shape with each step and disappearing whenever he leaves barefoot.
The small, Blood Demon slowly paced in the air and said to Yu Muqiu:
"You Magical Girls are so easy to manipulate. All you need to do is show a little 'killing intent' towards ordinary people..."
As the Blood Demon finished speaking, he suddenly raised his finger and pointed downwards.
The blood turned into thin threads that seeped into the ground. Then, as the Blood Demon raised his finger, these thin threads instantly transformed into thick rays that streaked across the ground and disappeared into the sky.
Boom!!!
Wherever the blood rays touched, everything shattered, more skyscrapers collapsed, and more blood flew in from below, flowing into the Blood Demon's body.
"Stop!!!!"
Seeing this, Yu Muqiu could no longer bear it. She stopped using the Magic Cannon, subconsciously shaped her magic wand into the shape of a longsword, and flashed to the side of the Blood Demon to launch a melee attack.
"Hahaha~ That's it. Once we do something to ordinary people, you all act like cats whose tails have been stepped on--"
The Blood Demon effortlessly dodged Yu Muqiu's slash, and as he dodged, his fingertips slid, cutting several sharp lines of blood along Yu Muqiu's body.
Yu Muqiu didn't dare to underestimate these inconspicuous blood threads. She narrowly dodged several threads and finally poured all her magic power into the magic shield on her body.
Bang!!!
The bloodline didn't tear through Yu Muqiu's shield; instead, it struck him like a heavy object, sending Yu Muqiu flying!
After doing all this, the Blood Demon remained suspended in mid-air and continued her previous statement:
"--It suddenly bristled and started scratching and biting me."
Boom--!
Yu Muqiu's body landed on the ruins of the building below, sliding on the ground for a while before coming to a stop.
She suddenly looked up at the Blood Demon, her anger rising, but she didn't forget to analyze the difference in their strength.
It's about Upper Rank!
Absolutely an Upper Rank!
If she were only at the peak of the Middle Rank, very close to the Upper Rank, Yu Muqiu would not have had such a difficult time even without activating her Shining Form!
Only a true Upper Demon can render Magical Girls utterly powerless!
The initial attack on Xiaoxia was like that.
In that brief instant, the Blood Demon conjured a blood spear, pierced Xiaoxia's body, and pinned her to the wall in the distance!
That was also when they defeated Xiao Chun.
What appears to be just a flash of blood-red light is actually, in slow motion, a series of thin blades formed from countless drops of blood, slicing the building countless times in an instant!
They even severed ties with Xiao Chun herself!
Fortunately, Xiao Chun's shield blocked the Blood Demon's attack; otherwise... Xiao Chun's fate would probably not have been much better than those ruins!
No... no... these are not the problems.
The real problem is... Xiao Qiu simply can't fight freely here!
Because Magic Barrier cannot be set up here!
If they really go all out in the fight, the final result will be that the city beneath Xiao Qiu's feet will completely disappear!
Yu Muqiu remained silent, but the Blood Demon, with a strong desire to express himself, continued:
"To be honest, I really didn't expect that there would be fish like you who slipped through the net in this world... Hmm, did some Magical Creatures escape into your world? Or did some Magical Girls pass on her power to you?"
The Blood Demon tapped his lips with his finger, tilting his head in thought.
But she quickly shook her head and said:
"Never mind, none of that matters."
A bright smile played on her lips, "Anyway, finding you is a great achievement! If I can bring your bodies back, I'm sure Lord Pillar will reward me, right?"
Lord Pillar?
This guy... this guy is actually Demons from out of town?!
Upon hearing what the Blood Demon said, Yu Muqiu instantly understood the other party's identity.
The opponent isn't a local Demons! She's Demons outsider! No wonder she has the strength to Upper Rank!
"Xiao Qiu--!" As Yu Muqiu was shocked by the origin of the Blood Demon, she heard Xiao Bai's voice in her ear.
It was Xiao Bai using Telepathy magic to communicate with her!
' Xiao Qiu! Find a way to lure her into the magic circle's range! You'll need to use Dawn Mode to defeat her!'
'I know! But... but Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun...'
'They're alright! Their magical reactions are still working!'
Xiao Bai immediately offered words of comfort.
Chen Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun looked as if one was seriously injured and the other was buried under the rubble and their condition was unknown.
But in reality, nothing happened between the two.
Their magical reactions showed little weakness, proving that their vitality was still strong. Their lack of immediate attack was probably due to them observing the situation.
Yu Muqiu didn't need to worry about her companions; what she needed to think about now was how to lure the Blood Demon into the magic circle area of Central Continent District!
Xiao Bai also had an idea about this.
'Activate Shining Form!'
Xiao Bai said to Xiao Qiu, "After activating your Shining Form, run this way immediately! Run as fast as you can! Don't hesitate!!!"
The Blood Demon is still playing a cat-and-mouse game with Yu Muqiu, and even with the other Magical Girls; otherwise, she wouldn't be rambling on and on like this.
But if Xiao Qiu activates her Shining Form, that's a different story.
We can learn from Kelly that Magical Girls activating her Shining Form and not activating her Shining Form are two different concepts.
The Demons's attitude towards the two was also completely different.
The Demons can deal with the former by playing around.
But if it's the latter... the Blood Demon will probably kill immediately and won't give Xiao Qiu any chance to grow!
So if Xiao Qiu runs away, she will definitely chase after her!
Only by moving the battlefield from the city to the deserted sea and connecting it to the magical network of the Central Continent District can the Magical Girls have a chance of winning!
"I understand!" Yu Muqiu quickly understood Xiao Bai's words. She glared at the Blood Demon seriously, and then, under the other party's astonished gaze, she instantly unleashed her Shining Form and turned into a pink meteor, flying away into the distance!
Call out--!
The pink shooting star disappeared into the sky. The Blood Demon remained stunned for a long time, then her eyes suddenly widened, and her smile vanished. She stared in shock at the direction Yu Muqiu had fled, muttering to herself:
"Shining... Shining Form? She... she can activate Shining Form?! Oh no... we can't let her get away!"
After speaking, the Blood Demon also transformed into a crimson light and chased after the direction where Yu Muqiu had disappeared.
If it were an ordinary Magical Girls, the Blood Demon probably wouldn't be in such a hurry.
But this is Magical Girls in her Shining Form!
If the Twelve Pillars find out she let Magical Girls who can activate her Shining Form escape... she'll definitely die!
She will definitely die!
Therefore, she cannot let Yu Muqiu go! Absolutely not!

(I was thinking before that it would have been great if they had just used Shining Form to instantly kill the Blood Demon from the start, but now...)
(Thank goodness it didn't open, otherwise Xiaoxia and the others wouldn't just be seriously injured, they would be dead!)
