Chapter 435
"Then why..." Yu Muqiu looked sadly at the Demons girl in front of her, gazing at Demons appearance, and asked softly:
"... Then why are you crying?"
"!!"
The Demons girl's pupils contracted sharply, and she instinctively raised her hand and placed it on her cheek.
Without her noticing, tears slid down one side of her cheek.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Qiu's eyes shone with Hope's Light once more.
She suddenly grabbed the Demons girl's arm, holding it tightly, and tried to channel her own magic power—the magic power containing hope and light—through the Magic Network she was connected to, towards the Demons girl!
"Wake up, Fang Ming! Remember... you're not... at all..."
"Ughhhh!!! This is so annoying!!!!"
Before Yu Muqiu could finish speaking, the silver-haired girl suddenly unleashed her magic, blowing Yu Muqiu away from her completely.
Her arm, burned by Yu Muqiu's Hope's Light, is now slowly recovering.
But the Demons girl ignored her injuries, holding her head in her hands and clenching her teeth as if she were in great Pain.
Unfortunately, this situation only lasted for a moment before the Demons girl returned to 'normal'.
She looked again at Yu Muqiu, who had been blown away by her magic, and completely entered a state of rage:
"Looks like I was too lenient. In that case... I'll just beat you half to death first."
Although the Demons girl hadn't suffered any serious harm, she was now truly enraged.
Clearly, the damage caused by Yu Muqiu's words and actions was far greater than the blows they delivered during their exchange!
Just as the Demons girl was about to choose between crippling one of the two, suddenly, Xiao Chun's voice rang out in this space:
"Fang Ming... Brother... Is that you? You're back, aren't you! Brother Fang Ming!!"
Everyone stopped moving and turned to look at the source of the sound.
Magical Girls dressed in emerald green appeared in this barrier at some unknown time.
She stood not far from the Demons girl, watching Demons with excited and joyful eyes.
Her eyes were red, showing that she had just been crying, and now she was flying towards the Demons girl, overjoyed and weeping.
Overwhelmed by the joy of 'losing and finding', Xiao Chun had completely lost her ability to think.
She ignored the silver-haired girl's current clothes, her current skin tone, and even the unusually conspicuous twisted horn on her forehead.
She was only thinking about one thing.
That means her brother Fang Ming has returned.
The silver-haired girl, noticing this, smiled.
A... unsettling smile.
(Xiao Chun, don't go!!!!)
(Don't go!!!)
(Sigh, Xiao Chun is so love-struck.)
(As mentioned before, Xiao Chun is very rational, provided that the matter does not involve her cousin...)
(I hope Xiao Chun won't do anything foolish?)
(Have no idea...)
(Hmm, speaking of which, is Xiao Chun the only one who didn't get Shining 2 this season?)
(... I suddenly remembered that this happened, so I'm relieved. Next, Xiao Chun should be launching Shining 2, right?)
If we follow the usual approach...
It's inevitable that Xiao Chun will start Shining 2.
So whatever happens between Sky Screen Chun and Sky Screen Bai next, the final outcome will definitely be positive.
If Sky Screen Chun can activate Shining 2, the three girls who have unlocked new forms, along with their Magic Link and Magic Network covering two continents, will be able to achieve their goals.
He should be able to fight even Xiao Bai who has just reached the Pillar Rank.
This is especially true after Xiao Bai himself seemed to show signs of left-brain attacking right-brain tendencies.
Perhaps, Xiao Bai's self-awareness is still struggling.
She is still trying to escape from the Abyss.
"Xiao Chun!! Don't go over there!!!!"
When they saw Xiao Chun fly towards the silver-haired girl as if she had lost her soul, Chen Xiaoxia and Yu Muqiu called out to Xiao Chun almost simultaneously.
Xiao Chun instinctively stopped what she was doing when her companions called out to her. She turned her head blankly to look at her two companions, her lifeless eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"What's wrong? Brother Fang Ming is back... Don't you all like Brother Fang Ming a lot? Now Brother Fang Ming... Xiao Bai is right here... She's back!"
Murong Xiaochun didn't understand.
Everyone likes Fang Ming very much, and Xiao Qiu also likes Xiao Bai very much, and regards Xiao Bai as a true friend.
Now that Fang Ming is back, and Xiao Bai is back too, what a happy thing this is! Why are your friends trying to stop you?
Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia did not answer immediately.
But the Demons girl did not let this opportunity slip by.
She heard Xiao Chun's words, and a smile appeared on her face. She reached out her hand to Xiao Chun and said:
"Yes, Xiao Chun, don't listen to them. I'm back, so come here, Xiao Chun."
"..."
Xiao Chun turned her head, intending to continue approaching the silver-haired girl.
However, just as Xiao Chun turned around, a blue light suddenly appeared behind Xiao Chun, grabbed her, and pulled her back sharply, creating distance between them and the silver-haired girl.
Whoosh--!
Just as Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun had dodged, the silver-red chains crossed over the spot where Xiao Chun had just been standing!
If Chen Xiaoxia hadn't saved Xiao Chun would probably have been immediately captured by the Demons girl and locked in those sturdy chains!
"Huh?"
Xiao Chun was still a little dazed.
Chen Xiaoxia, on the other hand, roared at Xiao Chun with exasperation:
"Xiao Chun!! Wake up!! Look closely! Is she still the one you like?!"
"!"
Chen Xiaoxia's roar made Xiao Chun's ears ring, and her head also started to buzz.
But because of this, the green-haired girl's eyes finally regained some focus. She looked in Xiao Bai's direction again and finally noticed the other's overly revealing clothes, unusual skin color, and horns on its head.
This finally brought Xiao Chun to her senses.
She finally realized that perhaps the girl in front of her... really wasn't her Fang Ming brother.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 468 I Failed to Protect Anything
"Tsk, mind your own business."
Seeing that her attack had missed, the Demons girl looked at Chen Xiaoxia with disgust.
That look, a look completely devoid of gentleness and familiarity, pierced Chen Xiaoxia's heart deeply, and also made Xiao Chun realize clearly that the person in front of her... was just a Demons who looked exactly like Xiao Bai.
Tears welled up again in Xiao Chun's already swollen eyes; she couldn't accept this outcome.
She would rather Xiao Bai never come back, so that she might still have some hope in her heart, instead of being completely devastated by his depravity as she is now.
But then, Hope's Light suddenly appeared beside Xiao Chun.
Yu Muqiu, who had just been blown away, now stood beside Xiao Chun and said earnestly to Xiao Chun:
"Xiao Chun, calm down and listen to me. Right now, Fang Ming and Xiao Bai haven't hurt us too badly, which proves that she still has her own consciousness! So as long as we try... we might be able to awaken her!"
"Really... is it okay...?"
Xiao Chun seemed to have lost her soul, losing all her composure, and stared blankly at Yu Muqiu.
Yu Muqiu nodded seriously, then turned to look at the silver-haired girl again, and said earnestly:
"It definitely can!"
Yu Muqiu had witnessed the silver-haired girl's behavior when she was purified by the Power of Hope.
It was the other party's performance that rekindled hope in Xiao Qiu's heart.
Perhaps... there's still hope for Xiao Bai!
Yes, she can definitely be saved!
After all, she was so special. She was the only one who could become Magical Girls as a boy, and besides Witch, she was the only one who could withstand the corruption and not be immediately corrupted into Demons!
Xiao Bai has endured for so long, she has held on for so long, perhaps... with the help of the Power of Hope, everyone can awaken Xiao Bai! Let her become the Xiao Bai they know again, the Fang Ming they know again!
Absolutely!
After all, hope triumphs over despair, and justice triumphs over evil—isn't that common sense?
The Power of Hope surged once more, Yu Muqiu, with a heart full of intense hope, possessed even stronger magical power.
A pink Hope's Light illuminated the sky, and she, carrying the Power of Hope, charged towards the silver-haired girl once more.
"Xiao Bai! I will definitely... bring you back! Just like before! Pulling you back from the Abyss!"
"Nonsense!!"
Facing Yu Muqiu charging towards her, a hint of apprehension and fear flashed in the silver-haired girl's eyes.
Clearly, the other party's Power of Hope was proving quite challenging for her as well.
The silver-haired girl even stopped engaging Yu Muqiu in close combat. Instead, she used the chains to fight for herself. The silver-red chains, like long dragons, stretched across the sky and crashed down on the Magical Girls below!
Rumble!!
Lightning enveloped the chains, like a blue cloak.
The raging wind, the Detonation thunder, and the torrential rain combined to create a merciless natural Disaster that nearly Destruction the world!
The chained dragon descended as if shrouded in Disaster, as if it intended to devour the Magical Girls below!
But Yu Muqiu's eyes shone even brighter.
In this dim world, her pink eyes shone so brightly they almost concealed the approaching despair!
Because Yu Muqiu discovered that Xiao Bai's attacks... weren't as strong as she had imagined.
Or rather, although it is very strong, it is actually much weaker than the Pillar Rank.
Was Xiao Bai intentionally holding back? Or, although she possessed Pillar Rank magic power, she hadn't been able to fully digest it?
None of that matters now.
The important thing is... we can fight this battle!
They still have a chance, a chance to pull Xiao Bai back!
"Xiao Qiu!! I'm here to help you!!!"
Yu Muqiu rushed forward, and Chen Xiaoxia couldn't just stand by and watch.
Blue energy erupted, and the power of courage resurfaced. Chen Xiaoxia strengthened herself, repelled the approaching chains, and chased closely behind Yu Muqiu.
In the sky, three beams of magical light of different colors collided with each other. The light emanating from the silver-haired girl was the most prominent. She dodged in the sky, preventing the two Magical Girls from getting close.
Although Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia appeared to be evenly matched with the silver-haired girl, they were soon struck by her chains.
"Xiao Qiu! Xiaoxia!!!"
Standing on the edge of the battlefield, unable to participate, Xiao Chun couldn't help but cry out in concern when she saw Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia being knocked away again.
But at the same time, she looked at the silver-haired girl with a very unfamiliar gaze.
That's not the case.
