Chapter 392
"Xiao Bai, you're so amazing..."
Why did you suddenly say that?
"No, it's just that... you're so beautiful, so strong in combat, so knowledgeable, and you have great interpersonal relationships at school. You're just too perfect..."
Even if you praise me, I won't lower the difficulty of the test.
The cold words uttered from Xiao Bai's warm lips sent a chill down Yu Muqiu's spine:
"... How heartless!!"
After making his complaint, Yu Muqiu sighed and said, "But I wish I could be like you, Xiao Bai."
"..."
Xiao Bai glanced at Yu Muqiu, but before Yu Muqiu could look at her, she looked away again and focused her gaze on the test paper.
She said softly, "If you're willing to work hard, you'll become even better."
"Like you Xiao Bai?"
"No, better than me."
Xiao Bai said softly.
Yu Muqiu froze, turned her head, and gazed at Xiao Bai's profile for a long time before suddenly laughing and saying:
"That's impossible! If I hadn't become Magical Girls, I'd just be an ordinary girl, nothing like you, Xiao Bai."
"You have so little confidence in yourself?"
"It's not that I lack confidence, it's that I know myself." Yu Muqiu replied earnestly, "I understand myself. If it weren't for Xiaoxia, Xiao Chun, and... if it weren't for you, Xiao Bai, I definitely wouldn't be where I am today. It's because of you all that I have become who I am today."
"Therefore, I definitely can't become as good as you, Xiao Bai, by myself alone."
"Then let's try relying on Xiaoxia and the others. Relying on companions isn't a bad thing."
Xiao Bai said softly.
Yu Muqiu nodded. "Yes, that's always been how I've done it! With Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun around, and now with you, Xiao Bai and Dongdong, I'm invincible! That's the power of companionship!"
The girl with pink hair in pigtails suddenly perked up and said confidently.
Xiao Bai glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth seemed to unconsciously turn up slightly.
But perhaps feeling that this went against her own persona, Xiao Bai reverted to her calm, expressionless demeanor.
After a while, she said to Yu Muqiu:
"This trust in your companions is good, but... sometimes it's better not to rely on them too much."
"Huh?"
"What I'm about to say might be harsh to you, but since we've come this far, I have to say it." Xiao Bai first layered his armor, then spoke in a very soft but clear voice:
"In the battles to come, you will encounter all sorts of things and all sorts of enemies. You can't always be with your comrades, and we can't always be there for you in time."
"Sometimes, you need to face formidable enemies alone, and at those times, the only person you can rely on is yourself."
"Huh?! If something like that really happens, won't Xiao Bai come to save me?"
"Idiot." Xiao Bai looked at Yu Muqiu helplessly. "Of course I'll go to save him, but I'm not omnipotent. There will always be times when I can't make it in time, so..."
"Haha, is that so? Don't worry! I'll do everything I can to protect myself before Xiao Bai and the others come to rescue me!"
Hearing Yu Muqiu's idiotic words, Xiao Bai sighed again. She raised her hand and flicked Yu Muqiu's forehead lightly, then said:
"I've already told you not to rely on us too much, after all..."
Xiao Bai's gaze was somewhat complicated.
At that time, Yu Muqiu was unaware of the meaning behind Xiao Bai's gaze. She simply covered her forehead where she had been flicked and tilted her head to look at Xiao Bai in surprise.
Looking into Yu Muqiu's clear eyes, Xiao Bai shook her head helplessly, then suddenly changed her mind:
"Fine, it's good that you trust me like this... If a similar situation really happens, I'll find a way to save you, as long as..."
As long as I can continue fighting.
A sudden, dull pain shot through my chest.
Yu Muqiu snapped out of his reverie.
Recalling what happened that day, Yu Muqiu suddenly understood the meaning of Xiao Bai's words, and what she ultimately failed to say.
It's likely that Xiao Bai's health was already quite poor from that time onwards.
At that time, Xiao Bai was probably already prepared for the possibility of leaving Xiao Qiu's side at any moment.
But unfortunately, Xiao Qiu couldn't see anything at that time.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Bai..."
Yu Muqiu clutched his chest and softly apologized to the silver-haired girl.
I'm sorry, I've always relied on you.
I'm sorry, I've never really gotten to know you properly.
I don't know the Pain you've endured, I don't know your physical condition, and that's probably why you've gradually become the way you are now.
Xiao Bai, I was too dependent on you in the past, I'm sorry... But now, perhaps it's not too late for me to make up for my past mistakes.
"That's right, I shouldn't rely on anyone. I should protect you, just like you protected me!"
The pain in his heart transformed into power, and the Shining 2 state, which could only be activated with the aid of the Magic Network, began to sprout at this moment.
"Because—" A brighter, more Shining Light rose from Yu Muqiu's body. Just before the protective barrier shattered, Yu Muqiu shouted out the words from his heart:
"--Because you are the most important person to me!!"
Boom!!!
The flower of light, even more dazzling, brighter, and more full of hope, blooms and blossoms in the sky!
Like the sun, the Hope's Light dispelled all the gloom. In a blood-red barrier, Yu Muqiu shone even Shine, suspended in the air like a god!
The Advanced Shining Form was now completely mastered by Yu Muqiu!
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Movie and Season 3: Chapter 425 The Second Upper Demon Appears!
At this moment, Yu Muqiu became even more dazzling.
The Blood Demon's gaze towards Yu Muqiu now held a greater sense of gravity.
Even so, the Blood Demon continued to laugh:
"Hahahaha! This is it!! Let me see... just how powerful you really are now that you've mastered this stronger form!!!"
"You'll see."
This was the first time Yu Muqiu had spoken to the Blood Demon its arrival. As soon as he finished speaking, the pink light transformed into a bolt of lightning, piercing through the darkness within the Blood Barrier and shining on the Blood Demon like a beam of light from afar!
Bang!!!
No, that wasn't light, and it wasn't lightning!
The Blood Demon only realized what was happening when he felt pain in his chest and abdomen.
That light, that lightning, was Yu Muqiu himself!
She was so fast that even the magical light emanating from her body couldn't keep up with her, which is why she struck like a bolt of lightning!
Yu Muqiu's figure reappeared in front of the Blood Demon, and she raised one foot, striking the Blood Demon squarely in the chest and abdomen!
The pain felt by the Blood Demon comes from this very source!
But Yu Muqiu's attack was not over yet!
At the same moment he kicked the Blood Demon, in less than a millisecond, Yu Muqiu's magic wand was already aimed at the Blood Demon's head and slashed down!
The blade above transformed into the shape of a scythe. In that instant, it seemed as if Xiao Bai appeared on Yu Muqiu's body. The two of them swung the scythes together, reaping the lives of the Blood Demon like the Grim Reaper!
The scythe slashed through the air, but the Blood Demon had already taken countermeasures the moment he sensed the pain.
Her body suddenly turned into blood, and countless red liquids scattered in the air.
The pink scythe pierced through the blood, turning some of the spilled blood into a blood mist.
This attack was incredibly powerful. If it had struck the Blood Demon's neck at the very beginning, the Blood Demon would probably be dead by now.
Unfortunately, Yu Muqiu was initially unable to solidify the sickle into a tangible form.
She initially chose to kick instead of shaping her wand into a scythe to slash because shaping takes time.
It won't be good to do it too early, because the Blood Demon will be on guard against the scythe and won't just stand by and watch Yu Muqiu's streak of light hit him.
It won't work if it's too late; the Blood Demon will sense the danger of the scythe and try to dodge it.
Yu Muqiu needs to time this perfectly to deliver a fatal blow to the Blood Demon at the crucial moment!
She actually did a very good job.
As they moved, they shaped the scythe. When they first reached the Blood Demon, they kicked out to prevent the demon from noticing their actions, trying to use pain to shut the demon out of its thoughts.
Even if the Blood Demon is frozen in pain for just a millisecond, that is still her defeat!
However, Yu Muqiu underestimated the Blood Demon's pain tolerance and Blood Demon extensive combat experience.
Just because he could watch Yu Muqiu crash into him didn't mean the Blood Demon would just stand by and watch Yu Muqiu continue to attack him.
The blood, which had turned into a blood mist, regrouped in the distance. The Blood Demon, now back to its original form, stroked the wound on its neck, a wide grin spreading across its face.
"Hehehe, that's scary... but it's a pity, it was just a little bit short... um, just a little bit, otherwise..."
The Blood Demon's fingers traced across the wound.
The wound healed instantly, and the Blood Demon looked at the remaining blood droplets on his hand, stuck out his tongue, and gently licked them with the tip of his tongue.
Then her smile faded considerably, and she said to Yu Muqiu:
"Your unprecedented form is truly powerful, but unfortunately, it's not powerful enough!"
"Perhaps, perhaps even if I were to enter my Shining 2 form now, I wouldn't be able to kill you instantly, but...!"
Yu Muqiu waved his magic wand, and more points of light appeared in the dim Blood Barrier. These points of light connected in the air to form lines that bound the Blood Demon within them!
The Blood Demon's smile froze. She turned her head and looked around, surveying every angle, before realizing that she was now completely trapped in a pink silk cage!
There's absolutely no way to escape this space!
Looking at the cage shape Yu Muqiu had created, the Blood Demon said with a hint of sarcasm:
"You Magical Girls actually use Demons techniques?"
"As long as it works, that's fine."
Yu Muqiu said calmly, his magic power continuing to intensify, relentlessly weaving a cage to trap the Blood Demon.
That's right, this move was inspired by Yu Muqiu's observation of the Blood Demon's techniques.
Hope Cage!
Hmm... Although Yu Muqiu's magic attribute is 'hope', adding the word 'hope' after a move like Cage just feels a bit strange...
Normally, Yu Muqiu would definitely be mentally criticizing his own moves, but at this moment, Yu Muqiu didn't have time to think about such things.
The Hope Cage was being woven, and the Blood Demon trapped within remained motionless, staring at it with interest. She said to Yu Muqiu:
"Simply locking me up here won't do any good; you should know that."
Yu Muqiu became taciturn again, refusing to utter a single unnecessary word to the Demons.
Feeling bored, the Blood Demon stretched out her finger, blood congealing into threads, and swung it towards the cage that imprisoned her.
He couldn't escape the cage using conventional methods, because every gap in the cage held Yu Muqiu's Power of Hope.
These Power of Hope filled the cracks in the cage, giving the Demons not the slightest chance to escape.
Since there was no way to escape, the only option was to use overwhelming force to break open the cage.
The Blood Demon was now planning to break free of the cage by brute force. As long as the Blood Demon, no matter what Yu Muqiu did, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Crimson threads fell onto the edge of the cage.
However, when the two forces collided, the Blood Demon's gaze suddenly sharpened.
