Chapter 447
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Movie and Season 3: Chapter 480 Believe me, I'm innocent!!
The air around them instantly became heavy as soon as Lesos uttered those words.
Fang Ming, who was holding a teacup, silently put it down, then looked up and met Lesos's gaze.
After a long while, Fang Ming said to Lesos:
"You don't trust me."
This is not a question; it is a statement.
Lesos smiled and said, "Although you were indeed on Xiao Qiu's side in the Sky Screen, and even willing to sacrifice yourself for Xiao Qiu, but... we both know very well now that the Sky Screen and reality have been separated into two lines that will never intersect."
"What happens in reality might happen in the Sky Screen, but what appears in the Sky Screen will never happen in reality, because... we are currently copying the answers and correcting the 'wrong questions' on the Sky Screen."
After Lesos finished speaking, she leaned forward slightly and asked Fang Ming, "So, how can you guarantee that you won't become a 'Demon King candidate' like those in the Sky Screen?"
"If another Demon King appears after we defeat the Demon King, then all our current preparations will have been meaningless."
Lesos's concerns are not unfounded.
From Lesos's perspective, while the Demon King is certainly terrifying, Fang Ming, who is completely trusted by Magical Girls and could very well become the Demon King, is even more terrifying.
Because no one can guarantee that Fang Ming will continue to stand on the side of Magical Girls in the future.
No one can guarantee that Fang Ming will have the same ideas in the future.
Lesos has lived for a thousand years. Although she spent most of those years staying in her own little world, she has still experienced a lot and met many people.
Leaving aside distant examples, just looking at Lesos herself, her personality when she first became Magical Girls was completely different from her current one.
The things I was thinking about were completely different from what I am thinking now.
At first, Lesos just wanted to be with her friends, then she wanted to defeat the Demons with them, and then, in pursuit of power, becoming Witch didn't seem so bad...
After becoming Witch, Lesos felt heartbroken that her companions didn't understand her despite all her sacrifices, so she separated from them...
Ideas change gradually, and Lesos's original intentions are now lost.
If Fang Ming were to truly become Demons, then according to the characteristics of Demons, he would possess an almost infinite lifespan.
In this infinite lifespan, in this long span of time, who can guarantee that Fang Ming will always maintain his original aspirations?
"Oh."
Upon hearing Lesos's words, Fang Ming suddenly laughed.
The laughter made Lesos's smile fade. She frowned and asked Fang Ming, "What's so funny?"
"It's nothing, it's just... I suddenly remembered there's something I haven't told you."
"What?"
Boom!!
A surge of air currents filled the air as Fang Ming rose from his seat and, under Lesos's shocked and wary gaze, completed his transformation into Demons.
It was tall, with two horns on its head, and covered in armor. Through the gaps in the armor, its muscles seemed to reflect light.
Demon Form!
Feeling the overwhelming negative magic and the oppressive aura coming at her, Lesos was startled. She immediately stood up, and a parasol that seemed to be her Magical Armament appeared in her hand. Just as she was about to counterattack, Lesos suddenly felt her body lighten.
Bang!!!
Fang Ming, in his Demon Form, suddenly appeared in front of Lesos.
Those thick, large hands, almost big enough to completely encircle an adult's head, gripped Lesos's neck tightly and slammed her to the ground!
The grass inside the barrier shattered, dirt flew everywhere, and Lesos was slapped to the ground by Fang Ming, unable to move.
With only her Lesos here, Lesos was no match for Fang Ming in his Demon Form.
After his magical skills were integrated into the Magic Source, Fang Ming's magical power experienced a leap forward during this period.
He had already overcome the Upper Rank hurdles, and with the amplification of his Demon Form, his current strength was infinitely close to that of Pillar Rank!
Lesos's clone was no match for him.
"Cough cough cough... I... I didn't expect... you would actually...!"
Lesos's eyes flashed with shock and anger, but before she could finish speaking, Fang Ming said to her:
"Do you think I'm Demons or a human right now?"
"!"
Upon hearing Fang Ming's words, a glint flashed in Lesos's eyes, and she instantly understood what Fang Ming meant. "Your form... is controllable?!"
"Otherwise what?"
"... How is that possible! After becoming Demons, one will unconsciously harbor hostility towards Magical Girls, and will want to destroy Magical Girls from the bottom of one's heart! Even you..."
"I said I was special... Oh, I misspoke, I should say... the me in the Sky Screen said I was special."
Fang Ming pressed down on Lesos, then transformed into her Magical Girls form, instantly shrinking from over two meters tall to a tiny little girl of just over one meter. But what remained unchanged was that she still gripped Lesos's neck, rendering her unable to resist.
The chains flew out and landed beside Lesos. Xiao Bai sat on Lesos, looking down at her.
"I can also freely switch between the forms of Demons and Magical Girls... If, as you say, the hostility of Demons towards Magical Girls is ingrained in their very bones, then... should I commit suicide now?"
"..."
Lesos looked rather bewildered.
Fang Ming's current transformation was somewhat beyond Lesos's knowledge.
She had never seen Magical Girls who could smoothly transition between Demons and Magical Girls!
No, she should say she'd never seen a man who could transform into both Magical Girls and a Demons!
Is this reasonable!?
Seeing that Lesos were becoming confused, Xiao Bai continued, "So you don't need to worry that I will hurt Xiao Qiu."
"Whether I am in Magical Girl Form or Demon Form, my thoughts are my own, unlike those in the Sky Screen, where a consciousness unique to Demons is born."
"And what I can guarantee is that I will absolutely, absolutely... never hurt anyone I care about, not in the past, not now, and not in the future!"
Xiao Bai's words made Lesos fall into deep thought.
The silver-haired girl didn't move. Only when she saw the hostility in Lesos's eyes gradually disappear did she intend to get up and release Lesos.
However, just as the silver-haired girl made a move, Lesos suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her downwards forcefully.
Bang!
The silver-haired girl, caught off guard, stumbled and fell directly onto Lesos, who then caught her in her arms.
Just after Lesos finished doing all this, several beams of light appeared within the Witch's barrier.
Xiao Chun's voice rang out first:
"Brother Fang Ming! We just sensed powerful negative magic... uh..."
Before Miss Murong could finish speaking, she froze like a statue upon seeing the scene before her.
Yu Muqiu's eyes widened, and she instinctively covered her eyes, but the gap between her fingers was almost big enough to fit an egg.
She looked at Xiao Bai and Lesos lying on the ground with a mixture of shyness and curiosity.
Having witnessed the same scene, Chen Xiaoxia blinked a few times and then said to Xiao Bai meaningfully:
"... Brother Fang Ming, I only knew you were popular, but I never imagined... even the Witch..."
"No...! No! Let me explain, it was her...!"
Xiao Bai finally understood why Lesos had done that earlier. She hurriedly got up to explain, but Lesos pulled her back and hugged her tightly.
"... Oh dear, you just pushed her down so forcefully, and now you're turning your back on me?"
Lesos smiled, narrowing her eyes, and said in a charming, slightly aggrieved voice.
Xiao Bai's eyes widened immediately.
That wretched Witch!!! You framed me!!!!
Lesos's smile remained unchanged.
Heh, serves you right for hitting me earlier.
Xiao Bai was bewildered as Lesos held him, while Yu Muqiu and the others watched with bated breath.
In the end, Xiao Chun was the first to regain her senses. She walked over with a smile, and under Xiao Bai's anxious gaze, forcibly picked Xiao Bai up and took her away, then steered the conversation to the main topic, asking:
"So, what exactly was that powerful magical energy that just erupted?"
Although everyone could tell that Xiao Chun was changing the subject, those present wisely refrained from bringing up what had just happened.
Lesos rose from the ground, a flash of purple light, and all the dirt on her body disappeared, restoring her elegant demeanor.
After casually repairing the tea table and chairs, Lesos looked at Xiao Bai:
I think it's better for her to explain this.
"Uh... well, I just gave Lesos a brief demonstration of my Demon Form."
"I see." Xiao Chun understood.
Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia looked at each other in bewilderment. Chen Xiaoxia asked in confusion:
"What Demon Form?"
"Ah... I almost forgot..." Xiao Bai paused for a moment before realizing that she hadn't mentioned this to Xiao Qiu and the others.
Just as he was about to explain, Xiao Chun spoke first:
"Didn't she shrink because she absorbed Mutant Magic? And this shrinking is because her strength has further increased, which has also led to her taking on a new form..."
"The Demon Form is the new form that Xiao Bai Sister has mastered..."
"Um... at least call Fang Ming..."
"Oh dear, do you have any objections to my Xiao Bai sister who likes to pin people down?" Xiao Chun asked Xiao Bai with her eyes crinkling and the corners of her mouth turning up in a perfect smile.
The small, helpless silver-haired girl shivered. She shook her head sincerely, indicating that she had no objection, and obediently nestled in Xiao Chun's arms, letting her hold her.
Xiao Chun tightened her arms around Xiao Bai before continuing to explain to Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia:
"Although he mastered the Demon Form, Brother Fang Ming was not affected by the will of the Demon Form, and his strength has been further enhanced."
"It's just that the negative magical power emanating from the Demon Form was too strong, and Brother Fang Ming hadn't revealed his identity yet, so we didn't tell you."
Xiao Chun explained the matter clearly in a few words.
Yu Muqiu suddenly realized and said, "So the negative magical energy reaction we sensed just now was..."
"That's right, it was me who sent it," Xiao Bai replied. "Because Lesos doesn't quite trust me... my strength, I just showed it to her a little bit."
"So that scene just now really wasn't what you imagined! You have to believe me!!!"
At this point, Xiao Bai brought the topic back to the present.
Regardless, she is innocent!
She is truly innocent!!!
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 481 This is the best ending
Fortunately, Xiao Bai's reputation is fairly good among Magical Girls.
Yu Muqiu and the others did not really suspect that Xiao Bai would do anything to Lesos, even though Lesos's appearance and figure were in Fang Ming's good ball zone.
Finally, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Xiao Bai breathed a deep sigh of relief, as her reputation was not damaged.
After pausing to Xiao Bai Xiaobai, Lesos observed the group for a while before dismissing them.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back now."
"Eh? Senior Lesos isn't planning on coming with us?"
Yu Muqiu asked, puzzled.
She could probably guess that Lesos was prepared to 'perish together' with the Demon King.
Just like what Lesos did in the Sky Screen.
Yu Muqiu wouldn't try to dissuade Lesos from going. Although she was naive, she wasn't so naive as to think that if Lesos didn't go to seal the Demon King, they could destroy him with hope and courage.
