Chapter 373
Unsurprisingly, it was the same group from the Aurora Society again.
The monsters they created have gone out of control once again, and this time the scope of the loss of control is even larger. The unknown Demons, using some unknown method, has taken control of all the Mutant Monster that are transforming into Demons.
In that instant, they destroyed most of the Aurora Society's bases!
The magical reactions of the Demons perceived by the Magic Network are precisely due to this.
The good news is that these Demons did something good for the Magical Girls, causing most of the Aurora Society's bases to self-destruct.
The bad news is...
The number of these Demons is increasing Speed Demon! Within the Central Continent District alone, which is covered by the Magic Network, there are more than a dozen Demons! And their numbers are still rising!
Although most of them are Lower Rank, the Magical Girls simply can't keep up with this number!
"... Wake Xiao Qiu and the others up from their dreams, we need to get to work."
Xiao Bai stood up and said to Stella.
Regardless of the reason for the Demons' appearance, now is not the time to rest. The Magical Girls must eliminate all these suddenly appearing Demons before Demons cause any more damage!
Speed is essential!
Otherwise, every minute, every second, someone could be harmed by the Demons!
The appearance of the Demons brought the Magical Girls' one-day special training to a standstill.
The Magical Girls began to split up, with Yu Muqiu, currently the strongest among Magical Girls, in charge of the area furthest from the Central Continent District.
Because she can unleash tremendous power without using Magic Network, she wasn't assigned to the Central Continent District.
Xiao Chun stayed in the Central Continent District, using the Magic Network and her own bow and arrow to eliminate the Demons within the Central Continent District through long-range sniping.
Xiaoxia is in charge of the Nordic District, while Aurora and Luna are in charge of the Americas District.
Song Niandong and Stella were in charge of the remaining areas, while Xiao Bai and Fang Ming stayed at the camp to provide remote command and try to contact the higher-ups of humanity in this world, informing them of the specific details of the Demons invasion.
The Magical Girls had clear roles and began their respective tasks.
Streaks of light flew towards all parts of the world like shooting stars.
In the midst of this busy activity, the camera pierces through the clouds, passes through the World Barrier, and arrives beyond that world.
The petite Blood Demon and the tall, lanky, Paranoid Demon have found the second barrier and crossed it, attempting to find the world hidden by Lesos.
Blood flashed in the Blood Demon's hands, and beneath her crimson mask, a bloodthirsty and cruel smile appeared. She spoke to the Paranoid Demon beside her:
"My backup plan should be activated by now, hehehe. Thanks to the humans of that world, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to create so many 'Blood Slaves' using the Despair Power."
"Your true form isn't in that world, and your Blood Slaves won't last long."
The Paranoid Demon addressed the Blood Demon.
The Blood Demon spread his hands. "It doesn't matter, as long as they can cause some trouble for those Magical Girls. Besides, I don't expect them to actually harm the Magical Girls. They just need to create more despair... more blood, and then I can sense them and pinpoint the location of that world."
At this point, the Blood Demon couldn't help but curse again, "Damn Witch! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble... and she's trapped here, unable to even send a message out!"
"..."
The Paranoid Demon remained silent, merely nodding in agreement.
In fact, when the Blood Demon returned and reunited with him, the two of them were thinking of leaving immediately, reporting what had happened here to the higher-ups of Demons, and having them eliminate these Magical Girls who had mastered the Shining Form.
But when they walked back, they discovered...
They can't get out.
The barrier they had broken through was nowhere to be found, and they had no way to leave the area on their own.
Every time they retreat a certain distance, they emerge from the other side of the area, circling around and eventually returning to their original spot!
The Witch's power is comparable to that of the Four Commanders. If she is determined to trap someone, unless that person possesses power at the Pillar Rank or above, that person will have absolutely no chance of escaping the labyrinth set up by the Witch.
Now these two Demons have encountered this predicament.
Clearly, the Witch had considered the possibility that this place might be discovered by a high-ranking Demons.
Therefore, once someone enters, unless they are at the Commander Rank, they have no way to leave and send messages to the outside world.
Perhaps... this is why the Witch only dragged away the Four Commanders and the Demon King.
Normal Demons cannot detect the barrier she set up. Even if a lucky few occasionally find it, it is probably only a handful of them.
Regardless of whether they are Upper Demon or Pillar Rank, as long as they don't enter this place in a group, the Magical Girls have a chance to defeat the enemy!
Even these intruding Demons can become experience points for the Magical Girls!
The Witch's plan was brilliant, but the Blood Demon simply didn't intend to follow Witch wishes.
The Witch probably never expected that among the high-ranking Demons who rarely cooperate, the Blood Demon and the Paranoid Demon would come together to search for the same place.
This resulted in not one, but two, Upper Demon entering this place!
Given that Magical Girls now need to unleash their latest forms to fight even a Blood Demon, if these two were to enter the Magical Girls' world simultaneously, it would be the end for the Magical Girls!
Unless they can produce several more Magical Girls capable of surpassing the Upper Rank in a very short period of time!
The Blood Demon believed that no matter how unreasonable Magical Girls might be, such a thing could not possibly happen.
However, just to be on the safe side, she activated the hidden weapon she had left in that world last time.
On one hand, it was to create despair to sense that world; on the other hand, it was to deplete the Magical Girls' energy and prevent them from growing up.
If they can stall until she and the Paranoid Demon arrive, the Magical Girls are doomed!
"Hehehe, no matter what the Witch is planning, this victory is ours! Hehehe, the Magical Girls who can unlock that mysterious form... her blood must be incredibly sweet."
The Blood Demon licked his lips, filled with anticipation for the journey ahead.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 404 The Sculpture Demon, and Dongdong in a Dire Situation
(Oh my god, how could the Aurora Society and the Blood Demon be so wicked?)
(But the good news is, the Aurora Society in the Sky Screen seems to have killed itself...)
(Hilarious! The big boss in the spin-off is just a nobody in the main story.)
(Isn't this their own fault? They brought this on themselves. Who told them to create Demons? Now look what happened, they've been wiped out by the Demons.)
(If they had just died like that, I would definitely have popped some champagne! But damn it, they left Xiao Qiu and the others with such a huge mess! It's too good for them to die!)
The Aurora Society in the Sky Screen would be wiped out by itself... no, it should be said that it would be wiped out by the Blood Demon, which was something Fang Ming hadn't expected.
In the spin-off, Aurora and Luna caused a lot of trouble, and Aurora might even be the series Aurora Society. Fang Ming originally thought they would have a lot of screen time in the future.
Little did he expect that he would ruin himself.
Even in their final moments, they still caused the Magical Girls a great deal of trouble.
Demons have appeared all over the world, meaning the Magical Girls need to be dealt with separately.
Based on Yu Muqiu's current top speed, traveling at full speed from one side of the world to the other, without considering what happens in between, would take approximately thirty minutes.
This means that if a Magical Girls encounters an unexpected situation that she cannot handle, and that Magical Girls is far away from Xiao Qiu, but needs Xiao Qiu, the strongest Magical Girls, to resolve it.
It would likely take nearly thirty minutes for rescue to arrive.
Thirty minutes passed, and no one knew what other unexpected events might occur during that time.
No, it should be said that accidents will definitely happen during this period.
After all, apart from the trio of Xiao Qiu, the remaining Magical Girls are all just Lower Rank.
Once you encounter Middle Rank- level Demons...
Thinking of this, Fang Ming couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for the Magical Girls in the Sky Screen.
The light of magic Shine across the world, and for the first ten minutes or so, the Magical Girls' work of eliminating the Demons went relatively smoothly.
But just over ten minutes later, the Magical Girls indeed encountered an enemy they couldn't handle.
It's alright that Little Red and Xiao Lan have Magic Link; with that Magic Link, they can still put up a fight even against Mid-Tier Demon.
However, when Song Niandong teams up with Stella to deal with Demons in remote areas, he is likely to encounter danger if he meets Demons that is difficult to handle.
Unfortunately, Song Niandong drew the worst possible lot.
She encountered Demons with whom she had absolutely no affinity.
Sculpture Demon.
"Hehehe~ Little sister, how about you stop being Magical Girls? Come become my sculpture instead~ I promise you'll be my favorite sculpture~"
The Demons in front of him, who looked like an ancient Greek statue, let out a strange laugh like an old man and spoke to Song Niandong.
Around the Sculpture Demon, countless lives and objects transformed into gray-white sculptures, forming his army that surrounded Song Niandong in the center.
The trouble left behind by the Aurora Society isn't just the Demons scattered all over the world, but also the method they used to create that 'special barrier'.
Under this special barrier, the Magical Girls has no way to use her Magic Barrier to pull the Demons into the Mirror Battlefield.
This also means that their battlefield will be in the real world.
In the real world, this results in the current situation, where ordinary people suffer severe damage.
Song Niandong was in charge of a small country in the South Africa District.
The population here was already small, and the military defenses were also weak. After being attacked by the Sculpture Demon, the entire population was almost wiped out.
What's even more troublesome is that the guns and modern military equipment that the Sculpture Demon has turned into sculptures can all be controlled and used by it.
Even Song Niandong's 'friends' --
Song Niandong clutched her 'Book of Friends' tightly in her arms, and Nicole, her only remaining able-bodied friend, stood before her.
The remaining 'friends' were turned into sculptures, scattered around Song Niandong.
They have been turned into statues by the Sculpture Demon, but because Song Niandong's magic power remains in the friend's body, the Sculpture Demon cannot bring them back to life to attack Song Niandong.
However, Song Niandong also lost the power to control them.
Even more dangerously, the only 'bodyguard' currently able to protect Song Niandong, the Magical Girl Nicole, is now turning gray.
Nicole's magical power is at the Middle Rank, but although it is at the Middle Rank, her actual power is influenced by Song Niandong himself.
At the end of the second season, she was no match for Xiao Bai and the others, even after she was completely corrupted by demons.
Now, facing the Sculpture Demon, who is clearly in the Middle Rank, Nicole is at a significant disadvantage!
The graying of her body was spreading; it was only a matter of time before she turned into a statue.
"... Dongdong, hang in there! Xiaoxia, who's closest to us, is already on her way! In just five minutes!"
Youyou voice rang in Song Niandong's ears.
Having been keeping a close eye on the Magical Girls' movements, she has already sent aid to the other Magical Girls. Song Niandong only needs to hold out for five minutes!
Five minutes...
Song Niandong's face showed tension, and she tightened her grip on the magic book.
Five minutes... can she hold out?
Perhaps it should be possible, because the Sculpture Demon in front of them didn't seem to intend to turn Song Niandong into a sculpture immediately.
He seemed confident of victory and wasn't in a hurry to attack Song Niandong. Instead, he kept chattering away on the sidelines:
"Stop struggling, little sister. These things around you... aren't they all inanimate objects? My ability is to turn Western Capital into a sculpture; transforming inanimate objects is the easiest thing for me. You have no chance of winning."
Sculpture Demon spoke, he commanded the army of sculptures below to advance towards Song Niandong.
Nicole protected Song Niandong, carrying him as they flew into the sky, but then several airplane sculptures in the sky released gray-white missiles at them.
Boom!!!
Even though it had been turned into a sculpture, it still managed to explode when it was launched. This completely unscientific and illogical thing happened right in front of Song Niandong.
An explosion swept across the sky. Song Niandong and Nicole simultaneously released magical shields, each absorbing the damage from the blast. However, this delay forced them to face the combined attack of the Sculpture Demon.
More statues surrounded them in the center.
The Sculpture Demon said again:
"The Blood Demon Lord's orders to us are to annihilate all your Magical Girls... But, this old man here, I love cute things the most, so... if you'd let me turn you into a statue, perhaps this old man could spare your life..."
"... You... aren't Demons?"
Surrounded in the center, Song Niandong's mind raced. She calculated when Chen Xiaoxia would arrive and decided to stall for time with verbal sparring first.
