Chapter 401
In this time slowed down countless times, if the Paranoid Demon was attacking with normal movements, then Chen Xiaoxia was dodging and defending with slow movements.
The two were on completely different levels of speed; Chen Xiaoxia couldn't react at all!
This is Upper Demon?! This is the power of Upper Demon?!
No, at least... at least we must avoid the vital points--
Chen Xiaoxia's mind raced. Knowing she couldn't dodge or block the attack, she could only try to avoid the opponent's true target and minimize her injuries!
But just as Chen Xiaoxia was about to suffer a terrible blow, a dazzling green light crossed the boundaries of time and space and suddenly appeared on the arm of the Paranoid Demon!
"!?"
The Paranoid Demon, who hadn't expected Arrows to appear, was startled and quickly looked in the direction of Arrows trajectory.
In the far distance, Murong Xiaochun was about to draw her bow and shoot again, aiming at the Paranoid Demon.
Without a doubt, that arrow just now was shot by her!
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Movie and Season 3: Chapter 434 I've never seen anyone give a buff to the enemy before.
The Demons's movements stopped due to the Arrows, giving Chen Xiaoxia a chance to escape.
She swung her greatsword at the Paranoid Demon, but Paranoid Demon easily dodged it.
The Demons distanced himself from Chen Xiaoxia, looking at the emerald green, crystalline Arrows on his arm, then at the distance between himself and Murong Xiaochun, and fell into deep thought.
"...?"
The Paranoid Demon suddenly stopped, startling Chen Xiaoxia, and Xiao Chun in the distance also frowned.
Neither she nor Chen Xiaoxia made another move. After all, their main objective was to buy time, and the fact that the Paranoid Demon remained still suited their wishes better.
One second... two seconds...
A dozen or so seconds passed.
The battle in the blood sacrifice bottle below continued, but the Paranoid Demon and the two Magical Girls above fell silent.
Nobody knows what they're thinking.
After a long while, the Paranoid Demon suddenly realized something. He pulled out the Arrows, crushed it, and the wound on his arm disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Then the Paranoid Demon:
"So that's how it is. It wasn't that your Arrows kept up with my speed, but that you attacked before that? No wonder you managed to hit me."
"???"
Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun were both taken aback.
Xiao Chun found it even harder to understand the Paranoid Demon's thoughts.
The other person has been silent for so long, and all they've been thinking about is this... isn't it a very important question?
The Paranoid Demon was actually right. If Xiao Chun had fired her Arrows when she saw the Paranoid Demon about to attack Chen Xiaoxia, then Xiao Chun's Arrows definitely wouldn't have been in time to save her.
However, Xiao Chun's arrow was not fired after the Paranoid Demon attacked, but before that!
Because Xiao Chun was certain that Chen Xiaoxia could make the Paranoid Demon attack her first, Xiao Chun had already shot the Arrows the moment Chen Xiaoxia spoke!
Because the Arrows was covered in magic, concealing its own aura, the Paranoid Demon did not sense it immediately.
Therefore, when attacking Chen Xiaoxia, the Paranoid Demon was hit by Xiao Chun's attack!
And yet, this seemingly simple thing resulted in the opponent being physically restrained for over ten seconds?!
Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun exchanged glances, and they seemed to have guessed what was going on between them.
Perhaps this Demons has a very peculiar kind of 'stubbornness' in some aspects; he seems to need to understand certain things before he can launch the next attack.
If that's the case...
Before Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun could come up with a solution, the Paranoid Demon had already begun his attack again.
His gaze did not fall on Xiaoxia, but instead went to the archer Xiao Chun in the distance.
"It seems that the smart ones are the most threatening."
The Paranoid Demon said coldly.
These words startled Xiao Chun and infuriated Xiaoxia.
What do you mean? Am I not smart?!
How could I, a future female detective, not be smart?!
Chen Xiaoxia's forehead veins bulged, but she realized that the Paranoid Demon had shifted its target. She immediately transferred most of her magic power to Xiao Chun through the Magic Link, and said at the same time:
"Xiao Chun, watch out—!"
"Magic--"
The Paranoid Demon pointed a finger at Xiao Chun.
Xiao Chun was surrounded by layers of magical shields, and at the same time, her figure quickly rose into the air, trying to avoid the attack of the Paranoid Demon.
" --Exclusive Refraction."
Call out--!
Faster, more swift, and more powerful light flew from the Paranoid Demon's fingers!
That light was an Arrows, an Arrows that looked exactly like the one Xiao Chun had Arrows! Only this Arrows was pure black, and it changed shape as it moved at extremely high speed!
The complete Arrows transformed into a black ray of light, which instantly pierced through Xiao Chun's body and disappeared into the black and red clouds behind Xiao Chun!
"!!!"
As if struck by a heavy blow, Xiao Chun narrowly avoided a fatal blow, allowing the Arrows to land only on her shoulder!
Even so, Xiao Chun, who was hit by this ray, felt as if her body had been pierced by a sniper bullet.
Her body veered to one side from the momentum of the attack, and blood from her wounds radiated outwards behind her like rays.
With that one blow, Xiao Chun immediately suffered a severe injury!
This is even with Xiao Chun's current total magic power being comparable to that of the Upper Rank, and with some prior reaction!
"Damn it! Xiao Chun!!!"
Seeing Xiao Chun fall from the sky like a bird with broken wings, Chen Xiaoxia Implosion. She knew that it was too late to save Xiao Chun now, because Xiao Chun was a ranged Magical Girls, so from the beginning, she was far away from Xiaoxia.
Going back to rescue people at this moment would be tantamount to exposing her back to the Demons, so Chen Xiaoxia absolutely could not go back. On the contrary, she charged at the Demons again!
"You bastard... how dare you hurt Xiao Chun!! Die!!!"
The injury to her companion activated Xiaoxia's potential, Xiaoxia magic power erupted even further. In her Shining Form, the light emanating from her body almost illuminated the entire barrier!
The giant sword shattered the demonic energy emanating from the Paranoid Demon, and the blue-haired girl with a single ponytail collided with the Paranoid Demon like a dazzling meteor!
Bang!!!!
The air currents blew wildly, and the blood-red seawater that had been lifted into the air and then fell back down due to the battle was completely dispersed by the force of the two colliding forces, creating a brief vacuum within a radius of 100 meters centered on the two.
Immediately afterwards, the Paranoid Demon turned his gaze to Chen Xiaoxia.
"So weak."
The Paranoid Demon said coldly.
Chen Xiaoxia's eyes widened as she looked at her Magical Armament and the point where the greatsword's blade met the Paranoid Demon. She held her breath for a moment.
Her attack was blocked.
That's only natural.
Given the Upper Rank power of the Paranoid Demon, Chen Xiaoxia didn't think her move would inflict any effective damage.
But the problem is, how did the Paranoid Demon block that attack?
He simply extended that disgusting finger with long, black fingernails and lightly touched the blade of Chen Xiaoxia's sword.
With just this one tiny movement, Chen Xiaoxia's giant sword was unable to advance any further!
Her hands were trembling, a slight tremor caused by excessive exertion, while the Paranoid Demon's hands remained perfectly still! The difference in their strength was immediately apparent!
"Magic--"
The Paranoid Demon spoke.
Chen Xiaoxia had a bad feeling.
The Paranoid Demon seems to have a bad habit of saying the names of his moves.
But it is precisely because of this that the Magical Girls can tell whether the Paranoid Demon is about to attack!
For example, right now, the Paranoid Demon is planning to use his own unique magic!!
Realizing this, Chen Xiaoxia immediately retreated, trying to dodge the Paranoid Demon's attack!
However, the Paranoid Demon's attack was faster than she had imagined.
" --Monistic World Theory"
"!!"
Buzz--!
Invisible, transparent bubbles emerged from Chen Xiaoxia's body, and then Chen Xiaoxia eyes became lifeless as she fell from the sky as if she had lost her life.
Looking at Chen Xiaoxia, who seemed to have completely lost her life, the Paranoid Demon whispered:
"Embrace death amidst endless fear, Magical Girls."
In Chen Xiaoxia's lifeless eyes, the reflection of Paranoid Demon lingered. Her vision gradually blurred, and endless darkness enveloped her.
(Xiaoxia!!!!!)
(Dead...? Xiaoxia is dead!?)
(No, no, no... that's not right!? This isn't right!?)
(Calm down, didn't you hear what the Paranoid Demon said? Xiaoxia isn't dead! She was just affected!)
(You guys are still worried, but I'm already laughing. Why did this unlucky Demons have to use such a mind-based trick of his own? www)
(Yeah, isn't this specifically to give Xiaoxia a buff?)
(Alright, stop jinxing her! If you keep jinxing her like this, Xiaoxia will either be fine or she'll get into trouble!!)
"Is this Paranoid Demon an idiot?"
From an outsider's perspective, Chen Xiaoxia also felt that the Paranoid Demon had probably made a terrible mistake!
Despite possessing the absolute strength to crush Chen Xiaoxia, he simply unleashed a heart-piercing claw attack, just like at the beginning. Even if Chen Xiaoxia didn't die, she would be severely injured.
But they insist on pulling these tricks, putting people in a hallucination, saying they want them to face death in boundless fear...
Yes, if an ordinary person, or even an ordinary Magical Girls, were hit by this attack, they would probably just have to wait to die.
But... Chen Xiaoxia Magical Girls who has awakened her Shining Form, and she even has the potential to awaken Shining 2!
How dare he?!
"Well, to put it bluntly..."
Xiao Bai chimed in quietly, "He probably thinks you're too weak to be worth his time..."
After all, the Paranoid Demon had planned to take action himself before Chen Xiaoxia attacked.
When Chen Xiaoxia attacked him, he sarcastically remarked, "So weak," and then started using the same move.
Clearly, from this point on, the Paranoid Demon no longer considered Chen Xiaoxia as an opponent.
It's like playing a game; before you figure out the enemy's strength, you have to use basic attacks to test their tactics.
Having figured out the enemy's strength and knowing they are weaker than you, what's wrong with using some flashy skills for fun?
Xiao Bai thinks the Paranoid Demon didn't kill Chen Xiaoxia through conventional means probably because of this mentality.
Upon hearing Xiao Bai's words, Chen Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage:
"What?! That damned Paranoid Demon! How dare he be so arrogant?! Just you wait! I, from behind the Sky Screen, will make you pay!! You wretched bastard!!!"
Chen Xiaoxia pointed at the Paranoid Demon in the Sky Screen with her finger, which was holding a piece of roasted meat, and shouted.
Xiao Qiu, on the other hand, said with great concern:
