Chapter 410
Even the Magical Creatures were undergoing special training alongside the Magical Girls, making the entire camp feel much emptier.
After today's "Sister Call" attack, Chen Xiaoxia was noticeably more obedient. She stopped arguing with Xiao Bai and even looked after Xiao Bai from time to time, clearly wanting Xiao Bai to call her "sister" again.
But Xiao Bai ignored it, simply looking up at the Sky Screen and enjoying the seventh episode that was playing.
The beginning of episode seven picks up where the scene from the previous episode left off after Xiaoxia's self-destruction.
The screen displays introductory text that only appears in the opening sequence, indicating that this episode is another one without an opening sequence.
The sky was filled with blue shockwaves, and the sea of blood and dark clouds were completely annihilated by Xiaoxia's self-destruct attack.
Within the blood-red and dark Blood Barrier, a brief clear sky appeared.
Further away, the Blood Demon could no longer maintain his smile beneath his mask.
She barely managed to maintain control of her body, a blood-red protective shield surrounding her, forcing herself to stand in mid-air, and shouted into the distance:
"Hey!! Paranoia!!! What the hell are you doing!!!"
The Blood Demon had no idea what the Paranoid Demon was doing.
She only saw a powerful burst of magic that engulfed the Paranoid Demon, completely unaware of what the Paranoid Demon had been through.
It wasn't until two figures plummeted from the massive mushroom cloud that the Blood Demon vaguely realized what had happened.
Below the mushroom cloud, Chen Xiaoxia, her clothes tattered, fell from the sky amidst blue smoke and dust.
The green light in the distance and the pink light in front of the Blood Demon flew towards that direction almost simultaneously.
After a moment of surprise, the Blood Demon also frowned and looked at the other figure falling from the mushroom cloud.
The Paranoid Demon's body was half destroyed, with only his slanted upper body remaining, and the Nightmare Seed in the center was flickering with a faint light.
His expression was blank; he couldn't understand what that move had been or why it was so powerful.
Before he could figure it out, the pink Hope's Light arrived in an instant!
It's Yu Muqiu!
Instead of catching Chen Xiaoxia as she fell, she came to the Paranoid Demon with tears in her eyes and an angry expression, raised her wand, which turned into a scythe, and severed the Paranoid Demon's head!
Chen Xiaoxia inflicted a severe blow on the Paranoid Demon, while Yu Muqiu...
--She's here to finish him off!
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 443 The Blood Demon Finally Died
When Yu Muqiu rushed forward, he actually had two choices.
One task is to catch Chen Xiaoxia, who is currently severely injured, and the other is to finish off the Paranoid Demon who was seriously injured by Chen Xiaoxia!
Without a doubt, Yu Muqiu chose the latter!
After all, if the Paranoid Demon were allowed to escape, it would not only be a waste of the opportunity created by Chen Xiaoxia, but would also bring a crisis to this world.
If such a thing really happened, Yu Muqiu would never forgive himself, even if it meant his death!
The Blood Demon didn't expect Yu Muqiu to rush so fast; he was there to finish off the enemy. By the time he realized what was happening, there was no way to stop Yu Muqiu.
The severely injured Paranoid Demon was almost powerless against the Magical Girls who had activated her Shining 2 form!
His Nightmare Seed was taken away by Yu Muqiu, and his head was severed by Yu Muqiu's scythe made from his magic wand. His body began to disintegrate in mid-air.
After realizing that he could not save the Paranoid Demon, the Blood Demon stopped and stood in the air, charging up his magic.
Her expression behind the mask turned cold. The destruction of the Paranoid Demon had clearly caught her off guard, but it was too late to blame the Paranoia.
Strictly speaking, Demons are not social animals. They lack the perception of kinship, friendship, and love; all they possess are 'Desire' derived from their own inherent characteristics.
Therefore, although the Blood Demon and the Paranoid Demon seem to have a good relationship, they are only in a cooperative relationship. The death of the Paranoid Demon will not make the Blood Demon feel any sadness or anger.
She would only calmly analyze the Magical Girls' strength.
Currently, two of the three Magical Girls possess Upper Rank strength, and the good news is that one of these two Upper Rank Magical Girls is currently seriously injured.
The other person... although very strong, was simply unable to defeat the Blood Demon in a short time.
Conversely, the Blood Demon also couldn't defeat his opponent in a short time.
Continuing to fight the Magical Girls will only turn into a pointless tug-of-war, and if another Magical Girls recovers during this time, the Blood Demon may actually perish here!
So the answer to how to choose is already quite obvious.
After giving Yu Muqiu a deep look, the Blood Demon's feet were enveloped in a blood mist. He then turned and fled rapidly into the distance.
"Oh no! Xiao Qiu!! She's trying to run away!!"
Xiaoxia, Xiao Chun was holding Xiaoxia and continuously healing her wounds, glanced up and saw the Blood Demon fleeing into the distance. She immediately reminded Yu Muqiu.
Yu Muqiu's expression grew even angrier. Ignoring Chen Xiaoxia, she turned and chased after the Blood Demon at an even faster speed.
"Don't run away!!!"
Pink Hope's Light of hope chased each other across the sky with red mist.
The Blood Demon glanced at Yu Muqiu, who was hot on his heels, but ignored him, a sneer creeping into his heart.
Not running away?
Are you kidding me?
Are you going to run away and wait for your companions to recover so you can wipe me out? I'm not that stupid Paranoid Demon who knowingly fights when he can't win.
Preserving my life and finding a way to send a signal to the Pillar is the most important task. Getting entangled with these Magical Girls is completely unnecessary!
With unwavering resolve, the Blood Demon sped up, breaking free of the barrier. She planned to find a crowded place to absorb negative emotions to replenish her magic power, and then figure out a way to notify the Twelve Pillars.
Given the sheer number of Magical Girls in this world, they would be powerless to resist even a single Demons of the Twelve Pillars level!
If the Blood Demon couldn't handle these Magical Girls, surely Demons of the Twelve Pillars level could easily defeat them?
The more the Blood Demon thought this way, the faster she ran.
But Yu Muqiu was unusually angry.
Chen Xiaoxia's severe injuries thoroughly enraged Yu Muqiu, and driven by his intense emotions, Yu Muqiu's strength seemed to have increased even further.
She gritted her teeth, channeling all her Emotional Force to gradually close the distance with the Blood Demon, while the Blood Demon roared angrily:
"Are all you Demons good for?! You came here with the intention of invading the world and killing Magical Girls, yet you weren't prepared to be killed yourselves?!"
"Snort."
The Blood Demon snorted coldly, showing no intention of responding to Yu Muqiu's words.
She was just running away, constantly running away.
"Hateful!!!"
As the Blood Demon was about to leave the coverage area of Magic Network, Yu Muqiu became anxious again. Her mind raced, trying to find a way to stop the Blood Demon from escaping and to destroy it.
However, no matter how hard Yu Muqiu thought about it, he couldn't figure out how to intercept and kill the Blood Demon before it escaped the Magic Network's coverage!
But just as the Blood Demon was about to escape, a silver light flashed across the sky!
Splash--
Several chains covered with black and red patterns attacked from afar, precisely blocking the Blood Demon's escape route.
The sudden appearance of a barrier made of chains startled the Blood Demon.
The black and red patterns emanating negative magic from the chains further confused the Blood Demon.
She slowed down slightly, and her whole body froze in mid-air for a fleeting moment.
But... in that instant, the chains in front of him suddenly came to life, wrapping around the Blood Demon's limbs and waist in a flash!
"Not good!!"
The Blood Demon then realized that the chains before him did not come from the Demons, but from a corrupted Magical Girls.
But even if I thought of these things now, it would be of no use.
The moment Yu Muqiu saw the Blood Demon being bound, he began to mobilize all his magic power!
Even while in a coma, Chen Xiaoxia's magic was still connected to Yu Muqiu's, and in that final moment, she transferred all her magic to Yu Muqiu!
Pink and blue magic spread across Yu Muqiu's body. In an instant, layers of magic circles and amplification magic circles unfolded beneath Yu Muqiu's feet and in front of him!
Layer upon layer of Energy-Binding Rings converged at the very tip of the wand, and the pre-prepared magic, infused with its full power, was unleashed with a deafening roar!
Boom!!!!
A powerful Light Cannon pierced the heavens and the earth, evaporating the seawater below and dispelling the dark clouds above. The powerful magical energy emanating from it spread in all directions, and from the sky, the entire area of clouds and mist was dispersed by this single beam of light!
The Light Cannon struck the Blood Demon was bound by chains, without any deviation.
The Blood Demon's body began to dissipate within the Light Cannon, Nightmare Seed at her core flickered incessantly.
"I... I'm going to... die here -- how... is this possible!!!"
Seeing that he was about to be destroyed by the Power of Hope, in his last moments, the Blood Demon used all the magic power in his body to pour into the Nightmare Seed and shot into the sky!
The red dot of light actually resisted the torrent of hope's magic and flew into the sky at an extremely fast speed, passing through the World Barrier that had been shattered by the Blood Demon.
As the Nightmare Seed of the Blood Demon flew away, the Blood Demon itself was completely engulfed in the bombardment.
When the bombardment ended, there was no longer any trace of the Blood Demon.
The sky was clear, the ocean calmed, and sunlight shone again on the clear sea surface. These were two Upper Demons had accidentally wandered into this world.
[And thus it will perish.]
(It's finally over!!)
(If two Upper Demons are this difficult to defeat, what are we going to do about the Demon Army??)
(It seems like it's not over yet. Didn't the Blood Demon's Nightmare Seed fly away at the end? Something's about to go wrong!)
(No way... this is already Upper Demon...)
(Bro, be careful, this is only episode seven, and the two Upper Demon we thought were the final bosses are already dead! Guess what kind of enemy will appear next?)
(Heh... heh... it can't possibly be a pillar, can it... this joke isn't funny at all... heh...)
([Shrug. jpg])
(Could it really be a pillar?!)
"It's highly likely to be a pillar of support."
Xiao Bai nodded seriously.
If the difficulty is gradual, then the Upper Demon are no longer a challenge for Yu Muqiu and her group.
Especially after the Magic Network completely covered the world, Upper Demon, unless they came in groups of more than five, were not a big problem for the Magical Girls.
Therefore, it's not hard to guess the level of the Demons that will appear next.
Only pillars.
The question, however, is, which of the Twelve Pillars will it be?
"Um, don't you think the enemies we're facing in the Sky Screen are way too strong?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiaoxia offered her opinion. "Logically, after defeating a stage boss, shouldn't we let some smaller monsters level up before moving on to the next boss? So... the next boss might not be Pillar-Tier Demon?"
Chen Xiaoxia enjoys playing games in her spare time, which is why she used games as a metaphor.
Such a metaphor is indeed easy to understand.
Xiao Bai nodded slightly, as if in agreement.
That's how it should be, according to common sense.
But... if the next monsters to appear are just regular monsters, whether they can put pressure on Yu Muqiu and the others is another matter. Just considering Xiao Bai himself, it's impossible for him to expose himself while dealing with regular monsters.
If possible, Xiao Bai hopes that he will leave after facing at least one powerful enemy.
Sacrificing yourself to fight mobs... that's just too lame...
["Xiao Bai!!"
After eliminating the Blood Demon, Yu Muqiu didn't relax. Instead, she shouted towards the sky, her expression filled with sorrow, unease, and anger, as she asked Xiao Bai:
"Didn't you promise me you wouldn't intervene?"
"And then let her get away?"
