Chapter 380
No matter how many times consciousness shifts, there is only one original entity possessing the Nightmare Seed.
Therefore, once the entity possessing the Nightmare Seed is found and destroyed, this battle can be ended.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 411 Too Late... Next...!
No one says that you can always crush your opponent after you unleash your full power.
At least that's the case for Song Niandong.
Of course, it's also possible that Song Niandong was just unlucky and encountered a Sculpture Demon such a mechanic; otherwise, Nicole's Sculpture Demon off.
Now the Sculpture Demon has become a towering giant, and its true form is mixed among countless sculptures, making its location unknown. It seems quite troublesome.
"This is so troublesome."
Looking at the enormous Statue Giant before her, Song Niandong muttered something to herself. Then, she held up the magic book in her hand, and the pages of the book flipped continuously, with magic spreading outwards from Song Niandong as the center.
Releasing magical energy outwards, Song Niandong's gaze fell upon the land and ruins beneath her feet, and she murmured:
"Please help me, friends."
Rumble--!
As soon as Song Niandong finished speaking, the ground began to shake again. The earth and city, which had already been Sculptification, seemed to regain their normal colors at this moment.
They were trembling, they were rising, they were assembling and taking shape like Statue Giant, eventually forming a City Giant as huge as the Sculpture Demon!
Streets and mud form its body, while the ruins of tall buildings form its head and limbs.
At the top of that enormous head, Song Niandong gracefully landed on the rooftop, her magic connecting with the City Giant. The massive giant slowly walked towards the equally enormous Statue Giant.
Rumble, rumble--
The two giants marched toward each other, and the Sculpture Demon's laughter grew increasingly maniacal:
"That's awesome!! That's it!! Let me see--"
"So noisy."
Song Niandong completely ignored what the Sculpture Demon was saying. She didn't even want to listen to it anymore. She immediately controlled the City Giant and threw a punch at the huge sculpture!
Boom!!!!
The activated building arm slammed heavily into the face of the Sculpture Demon.
The airflow turned into a gale, blowing in all directions. Grayish-white sculpture fragments and broken glass from the building fell to the ground like dust falling from a person's body, pulled by Gravity.
After the first punch, Song Niandong threw another punch without hesitation!
Boom!!
A right fist slammed down, followed by a left fist hooked upwards; the two consecutive blows nearly caused the Sculpture Demon to lose its balance.
But the Statue Giant reacted at that moment. Its hands suddenly clasped together, tightly gripping one of the City Giant's arms. Then, it slammed its forehead down hard, smashing it down onto the City Giant's head, which was also the platform where Song Niandong was standing!
If Song Niandong were hit, the City Giant might be fine, but he would definitely be in trouble.
So Song Niandong raised her magic book again before the Statue Giant's headbutt attack arrived.
As the pages turned, the magic book glowed faintly, and amidst bursts of pink light, the Magical Girl Nicole was summoned before Song Niandong.
The Power of Pleasant Dreams formed a barrier to block the Statue Giant's attack, while the City Giant took a step back, simultaneously dodging the Sculpture Demon's headbutt.
The Sculpture Demon burst into laughter upon seeing this:
"Come on!! Magical Girls!! Let's clash head-on with my most perfect work of art!!"
"So annoying..."
Song Niandong muttered to himself.
The Sculpture Demon seemed to sense Song Niandong's disgust, and he laughed even more arrogantly:
"Hahahaha, if you can't find my real body, you'll only be able to fight me head-on! But as long as there's a statue, I'm invincible!!"
"..."
Song Niandong remained silent, her purple eyes reflecting the Statue Giant's body. Then, Song Niandong's figure suddenly vanished above the City Giant's head.
When they reappeared, they were already behind the Statue Giant.
The Sculpture Demon's laughter suddenly ceased. He, who was controlling the giant, sensed the magical power emanating from behind him and uttered a sound of shock:
"How is this possible...!"
But before he could finish speaking, Song Niandong's hand had already landed on the back of the Sculpture Demon.
Tell me, where is it--
Song Niandong spoke softly, as if she were talking to a long-lost friend rather than the Sculpture Demon.
After Song Niandong finished speaking, the giant body created by the Sculpture Demon mysteriously cracked open!
Starting from the head, the cracks gradually extended, stretching straight towards the heart!
"Found you..."
Song Niandong spoke in a low voice, while the Magical Girl Nicole raised her wand even faster, aiming the tip at the heart of the Statue Giant.
"Sweet Dream Ray--!!"
Boom!!!
A powerful energy beam pierced the heart of the Statue Giant, simultaneously annihilating the Sculpture Demon within it!
The Sculpture Demon, who never expected to be found, still wore a look of shock and disbelief on his face until he vanished.
He reluctantly turned his head to look at Song Niandong behind him, reached out his hand to her, and uttered a sound of resentment:
"... How... could you... have found me...?"
"A friend... told me."
Song Niandong spoke in a low voice, her gaze falling on the sculptures that had been destroyed by the giant.
After the Shining Form, Song Niandong's 'Friend Magic' has been further upgraded.
She no longer limits her definition of 'friend' to objects she comes into contact with.
Anyone she deems worthy of friendship or assistance can be transformed into her 'friend' through her magic.
Furthermore, she can choose whether or not to include these 'friends' in her magic book. If she chooses not to include them, the 'friends' will revert to their original forms after helping her.
For example... these sculptures.
The Statue Giant's body was created by the Sculpture Demon manipulating smaller, grayed-out statues.
It is not actually a single, complete entity; it is a collection, a massive collection of sculptures!
The Sculpture Demon couldn't possibly control all the statues. Song Niandong only needed to find some statues that knew the Sculpture Demon's location, turn them into her friends, and then her 'friends' would tell her the Sculpture Demon's location!
Therefore, from the moment Song Niandong awakened his Shining Form, the failure of the Sculpture Demon was already predetermined.
(Tsk, I almost forgot, Dongdong seems to play with mechanics too.)
(Yes, although Dongdong's stats are a bit low, her 'Friend Magic' has a lot of potential.)
(Remember in the side story when my cousin went to the Americas District, Dongdong got a lot of 'friends' for him to use)
(The disguise mask, right? I remember it.)
(Hilarious! If this sculpted monster had encountered Xiaochun and Xiaoxia instead, it might have had a chance to escape, but it ran into Dongdong.)
(Hmm? He should be able to escape if he encounters Xiao Qiu, right? If he chooses to run away directly...)
(There's no escaping it. If Xiao Qiu gets really angry, one Magic Cannon shot will probably turn any random sculpture into ashes www)
(Oh yeah... Xiao Qiu has already Upper Rank...)
It took Dongdong a little while to deal with the Sculpture Demon, but it was finally over.
And only five minutes have passed since the start of the fourth episode.
Based on the timeline in the story, excluding close-ups of various moves and slow-motion shots, the entire battle should not exceed three minutes.
In addition, the Sculpture Demon's mechanics are quite tricky, so Dongdong was able to Sculpture Demon it relatively quickly.
"Dongdong has grown up too... even though it's in the Sky Screen."
Xiao Chun sighed.
In real life, Dongdong is practically being turned into a useless person by Fang Ming.
Every day, she either watches anime or dramas, or she's always thinking about getting close to Fang Ming. Apart from the few times she Aurora Society, Dongdong has never even become Magical Girls.
This makes one worry that Dongdong might become useless in the future.
But now, seeing Song Niandong's performance in the Sky Screen, the Magical Girls can feel a little more at ease.
Since Song Niandong in the Sky Screen can awaken her Shining Form, there's no reason why Dongdong in reality can't do the same.
"Um."
Fang Ming nodded slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.
Aurora looked over with a puzzled expression. "Uncle, why do you seem a little unhappy?"
"... No, I was just thinking... it's over for Dongdong, but... what about the other Magical Girls?"
"..."
Aurora was stunned, and Xiao Chun was also taken aback.
The two looked up at the Sky Screen again.
Yes, Dongdong has only eliminated one Mid-Tier Demon so far, but the world inside the Sky Screen is now teeming with Demons!
It's even quite possible that there's more than one Mid-Tier Demon!
Song Niandong was able to easily defeat the Sculpture Demon because she was lucky enough to awaken her Shining Form, but... what about the other Magical Girls?
As it turned out, Fang Ming's concerns were not unfounded.
Because right after Song Niandong dealt with the Sculpture Demon, the camera switched again, this time to the Americas District, focusing on Aurora.
Clearly, the next Magical Girls who might encounter danger is Aurora.
"One or two, it's endless, so annoying!!!"
Aurora threw a punch, and the corpse that had already turned into a zombie was transformed into a radioactive pink liquid by Aurora's punch.
The art style in the Americas District clearly continues the style of the spin-off, with all the blood turned pink, and all the gory things covered with a filter.
Smashing the zombies in front of her, Aurora glared fiercely at the Demons standing at the very back of the horde.
The Demons was dressed in a suit, carrying a briefcase. His skin was deathly pale, and his eyes were gray, making him look like a corpse that Resurrection.
Of course, calling him a corpse isn't entirely wrong.
Because he is Zombie Demon.
It is Demons formed by the aggregation of fear of 'zombies' and 'living corpses'.
The appearance of zombies in the world of Magical Girls seems like a rather strange thing.
But the thought that this is in the Americas District makes it feel perfectly natural.
The appearance of zombies in the Americas District is perfectly reasonable!
However, now is not the time to discuss whether it is reasonable or not. What Aurora needs to consider now is how to get past this army of zombies and eliminate the Zombie Demon who controls the zombies!
Because she noticed that the Zombie Demon were absorbing the despair of the entire city!
Amidst the despair and fear of the city's survivors, he is undergoing a transformation towards becoming Mid-Tier Demon!
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Movie and Season 3: Chapter 412 Oh yeah, I'm not the main character in the main story!
The whole story can actually be summarized in one sentence.
Demons appears, Aurora arrives. Upon finding the Demons's true form, Aurora attacks it, and then...
The Demons created countless zombies to annihilate Aurora.
If they were ordinary zombies, no matter how many came, they would definitely be no match for the Magical Girls.
Aurora could kill a large number of zombies with a single punch.
But... these zombies are anything but ordinary!
