Chapter 391
What's even more worrying is that Fang Ming knows about the existence of the Paranoid Demon from a God perspective outside the Sky Screen, while the Magical Girls inside the Sky Screen have no idea about it!
They weren't even on guard!
It's so frustrating to watch!
The battle between Yu Muqiu and the Blood Demon stirred up storms at sea.
The sky was completely obscured, and the entire sea was shrouded in dark clouds.
Gale-force winds, torrential rain, and lightning made the area look like the end of the world, especially the towering red waves, which gave people a sense of despair as if they were in hell!
But amidst this apocalyptic scene, a pink Hope's Light shines through everything.
The pink light of Hope's Light, though faint, never went out. Under the onslaught of the Blood Demon, the pink light transformed into a spear piercing through despair, launching wave after wave of attacks against the Blood Demon.
Blood-red thorns danced wildly on the sea, and glowing Arrows weaved through them, flying straight toward the Blood Demon.
The Blood Demon remained completely unfazed by Yu Muqiu's attack.
She manipulated the crimson seawater, forming a thin red mirror in front of her. The mirror stood before her like a shield, blocking all attacks!
The Arrows that landed on the mirror transformed into pure magic upon contact, turning into blood-red light and merging into the vines below!
Magic: Red Mirror.
This magic, capable of absorbing most ranged magical attacks, is also a technique within the Blood Demon magic system.
The crimson thorns, now imbued with new magic, became even more frenzied, their swings becoming increasingly powerful. Each strike unleashed massive waves, crimson spray rising like walls from the sea and crashing down upon Yu Muqiu's location!
The crimson wave put considerable pressure on Yu Muqiu.
Yu Muqiu's gaze sharpened, a magic circle appeared spinning beneath his feet, and his long-handled magic wand was wrapped in a magic Energy-Binding Rings, ready to unleash an energy barrage!
Boom!!!
Hope's Light shattered the giant waves, disappeared into the blood-red clouds in the sky, dispersing the vast expanse of clouds and briefly revealing a sliver of sunlight.
But the clouds quickly gathered again, completely blocking out the sunlight.
The Blood Demon laughed upon seeing this:
"Magical Girls, where's your power from before? The power that instantly killed my clone? Why don't you use it?"
"..."
Yu Muqiu didn't reply. She gripped her magic wand tightly with both hands and swept away the location of the Blood Demon, which was still firing Light Cannon, as if she were wielding a long sword!
The Light Cannon ripped through the sky once more, annihilating the dark clouds.
But the Blood Demon had already dodged Yu Muqiu's attack. As he dodged, the Blood Demon smiled at Yu Muqiu:
"If that's all there is to it, then death awaits you! Magical Girls, you have no idea about the difference in strength between us!!"
Boom!!!
A burst of crimson energy suddenly exploded, and the cloak on the Blood Demon vanished, revealing a petite body encased in a crimson, tight-fitting leather suit.
She stood in the sky, spreading out her barrier completely. The sky, the sea, and everything around her were pulled into the blood-red barrier!
Magic: A Feast of Blood!
"Come and face your death, Magical Girls!!!"
Within the Magic Barrier created by the Blood Demon, the Blood Demon proclaimed Yu Muqiu's death.
Yu Muqiu remained silent, but his expression became very solemn and serious.
The Blood Demon's power erupted once more, and she could certainly sense the difference in power between them.
Judging from Xiao Bai's theory of magical power, if 10,000 is the Upper Rank limit, then Yu Muqiu has now activated the most basic Shining Form, has a total magical power of around 15,000.
But the Blood Demon's base magic power is over 30,000!
Now that the Blood Barrier has been activated, the magical power has increased to around 50,000!
Although this number is definitely a figurative figure, used only for ease of understanding, it is roughly the same in general.
If Yu Muqiu wants to defeat the Blood Demon, he must now activate the Shining 2 form!
The Shining 2 form should be able to increase Yu Muqiu's magical power to around 45,000. Combined with the Power of Hope's restraint on the Despair Power, it should be enough for Yu Muqiu's power to crush the Blood Demon!
But... Chen Xiaoxia and her team need time to set up the Magic Network!
Yu Muqiu needs to get through this period!
Yu Muqiu calculating the time it would take for Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun to set up the Magic Node, but before he could finish his calculations, the Blood Demon's magic had already surrounded them!
An endless stream of blood formed a filamentous cage, enveloping everything above and below ground.
The blood-red cage, like a cage for a canary, locked Yu Muqiu, this lovely 'lark,' in the very center.
As the Blood Demon flicked his finger, the birdcage began to shrink, and sharp, blood-red threads twisted and stabbed towards Yu Muqiu in the very center!
Magic: Vermilion Jade Cage.
The Blood Demon's favorite move.
What she loved most was gathering Magical Girls in this cage, feeling their despair as they were about to be strangled, and listening to their cries as their bodies Severing by blood-red threads.
The Blood Demon has used this move to execute many Magical Girls.
Normally speaking, Yu Muqiu would be the new victim of her move!
Although the Blood Demon's move might not be effective against Yu Muqiu his strength, even if it only injured Yu Muqiu, the Blood Demon's goal would still be achieved.
In her domain, all bloodshed is under her control.
Including the enemy.
As crimson threads drew closer, Yu Muqiu unleashed a magic circle beneath her feet, a transparent pink shield protecting her within.
A moment later, the crimson threads collided with the shield, and the radiance of magic burst forth at the point of impact!
The red and pink light and shadow represent the clash of magical powers between the two sides.
Seeing the cracks appearing on the protective shield, Yu Muqiu knew that she couldn't hold out for long.
It will take time for Xiaoxia and the others to set up their Magic Network here; Yu Muqiu needs to hold out for a while.
"Wrong..."
Looking at the cracks on the protective shield, Yu Muqiu suddenly paused.
The image of Xiao Bai appeared before her eyes; the figure that had once stood in front of her, shielding her from attacks, suddenly became incredibly clear at this moment.
In that instant, Yu Muqiu suddenly thought, why... why must we rely on others?
It's not that relying on companions is wrong.
Many difficulties and enemies in the past were defeated by Yu Muqiu and his companions working together.
She is certainly capable of relying on her companions.
But now that my companions have their own things to do and it's difficult for them to come and support me, why should I wait until Xiaoxia and the others have finished everything before trying to find a way to unleash my power and defeat the enemy?
I... I could have done better!
Yu Muqiu was lost in thought as she gazed at the illusory figure of the silver-haired girl before her.
Memories surged through his mind, and in that instant, Yu Muqiu felt as if he had returned to the past.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 424 Because You Are the Most Important Person to Me!
(It's a sure thing!)
(It's a sure thing!)
(How dare you, Boss, send the protagonist into a flashback?!)
(Hilarious! For the audience, the flashback seems like it happened a long time ago, but for the people involved, it probably just happened in an instant.)
(Blood Demon: I have no idea! One second she was closing her eyes and waiting to die, the next second she exploded! I didn't know anything!)
(As we all know, nostalgia is a power booster, so Xiao Qiu should be able to get through this crisis safely.)
(Don't relax too soon, don't forget, there's still a Paranoid Demon around!)
(Oh right!! I almost forgot about him!)
Yu Muqiu entered a state of reminiscence, Fang Ming relaxed considerably.
Lesos, standing nearby, couldn't help but remark, "Come to think of it, many Magical Girls I've seen in the past love to do this, suddenly unleashing strange powers at the most critical moment..."
"Didn't you experience anything similar when you were Magical Girls?" Fang Ming asked curiously.
Lesos held the snacks, looking at the patterns on the cookies, and said nostalgically:
"... Yes, there was, but it was so long ago that I've forgotten what I was thinking back then. I only remember... the power of the Shining Form was indeed very strong."
After Lesos finished speaking, she threw the cookie into her mouth and then said to Fang Ming:
"But unfortunately, our generation of Magical Girls didn't have the potential of the first generation. We could never even get close to the so-called Advanced Shining Form."
"If I could unlock the so-called Shining 2 form, perhaps... I wouldn't have become Witch."
Fang Ming raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "What do you mean? The advanced form can still stop the transformation process of the Erosive Power?"
If that's the case, then it's good news. At least it guarantees that Yu Muqiu and the others won't turn into Witch in the future.
Wait a minute, is it precisely because of this that Lesos gave up?
Since it was impossible to turn Xiao Qiu into Witch, Lesos simply gave up and went to the Demon King to destroy her?
Fang Ming looked at Lesos with suspicion.
Lesos calmly sipped her tea and ate snacks, giving an ambiguous answer:
"I don't know either, after all, I haven't awakened an advanced form, and the first generation senior didn't tell me about it."
Fang Ming gave Lesos a deep look.
You'd better be.
"Waaaaah!! I can't do it!!!"
In Xiao Qiu's bedroom, she rubbed her hair with both hands and groaned at the test paper in front of her.
Beside Xiao Qiu, Xiao Bai, who was responsible for tutoring Xiao Qiu's homework, calmly said:
"If you don't want your parents to force you to attend extra classes during winter break, then you'd better finish this set of practice papers."
This was before the final exams of the previous semester.
Because of the battles of the past few days and the various extraordinary events caused by Song Niandong, Xiao Qiu's academic performance has declined considerably.
Xiao Qiu's grades had already dropped significantly last semester.
This semester, Yu's parents set a deadline for her: if Yu Muqiu's grades drop below the class average, they will send Yu Muqiu to a teacher's house for tutoring during the winter break!
So, a week before the final exams, Yu Muqiu had no choice but to ask Xiao Bai for help, hoping Xiao Bai could tutor him.
After all, Xiao Bai is a teacher. Although she's a first-grade teacher, as a teacher, shouldn't she be able to tutor a second-grade student?
However, despite saying that, Xiao Bai did agree to tutor Yu Muqiu.
But...
"This is too hard!! Xiao Bai, the test you set is too difficult!! Is this really a second-grade final exam?! You didn't bring me past entrance exam papers, did you?!"
Yu Muqiu, who was a bit of a slacker in school, protested to Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai closed the book in her hand, looking at Yu Muqiu with a calm gaze that held a hint of speechlessness:
"How could that be? If it were really an entrance exam paper, you probably wouldn't even be able to understand the questions right now."
"!!! That's so unfair!!!"
Yu Muqiu had a mournful face, her pigtails hanging limply over her shoulders.
She slammed her hand on the table with a thud, muttering:
"... Ugh, math is something that only requires learning everyday arithmetic, why do we have to learn all those headache-inducing equations?!"
"Instead of complaining, you should do a few more problems... Never mind." Xiao Bai suddenly sighed and moved closer to Yu Muqiu: "Which problem don't you understand? I'll explain it to you."
Xiao Bai leaned against Yu Muqiu, and the unique scent of the shampoo, which was free of any other strange smells, helped clear Xiao Qiu's mind.
She leaned on the table, turned her head to look at Xiao Bai, and murmured:
