Chapter 487
But then again, Xiao Qiu is really reassuring here... no wonder Nino got fat from Xiao Qiu.
Hmm... should I just start appearing as Magical Creatures from now on?
This kind of life where you can just lie down and do nothing and still get food is Fang Ming's ultimate dream!
With Xiao Qiu feeding him, Fang Ming gradually gave up thinking.
Volume 5 Side Story Magic Mystery Season 2: Chapter 523 What do you intend to do to my junior?
Kanon's magic is actually not suitable for combat.
Wu Huayin herself was well aware of this.
Her magical abilities are purely supportive. Although the positive emotional energy from her Healing power can completely suppress the negative energy of Demons, in terms of regular combat strength, Wu Huayin is definitely no match for those Magical Girls who specialize in combat.
However, Wu Huayin was not entirely without the ability to fight back.
Kanon's personal magic appears to be 'Healing', but Wu Huayin prefers to call it 'Sacred Heart'.
Aside from offensive magic, it covers almost all buff and support magic.
This includes basic healing, simple purification abilities, and more advanced buff spells, as well as... Short-Term Resurrection Spell!
That's right, Wu Huayin's magic system also has a short-term Resurrection Spell, which can temporarily bring the dead back to the battlefield and restore them to full condition in a short time.
Although the time a person who has died cannot survive in the real world is very long, this skill might become a god-tier ability in a critical moment!
Wu Huayin herself thought so too, although she hadn't mastered this skill yet.
She cast a buff spell on herself, enhancing her speed, strength, and mana regeneration. After transforming, her hair turned into deep blue Kanon, and she arrived at the hospital basement like a gust of wind.
The further down the hospital she went, the more Kanon could feel that chilling negative force.
Possessing positive buff magic, she is extremely sensitive to these negative forces. When she stepped into the territory of the underground morgue, the discomfort Kanon felt was amplified to the extreme.
Something is brewing...
Going deep underground, Kanon's heart sank slightly.
She looked inside, following the source of the negative energy, and then... saw a monster with a head that looked like a pillow.
"Is this... the same Demons as last time...?"
This is the second time Kanon has encountered Demons, and the second time she has become Magical Girls.
Despite it being only their second meeting, Kanon instinctively knew the Demons' names and the reason for their existence.
This might also be something brought about by Wu Huayin's own magic. After transforming, she is completely synonymous with 'positive energy' and can instinctively understand these things that she has never seen before.
The last Demons Wu Huayin dealt with was the Tunnel Demon.
The Demons standing before Kanon at this moment, judging from its posture, should be... the Pillow Demons?
No...
"Come to sleep..."
The Demons with a pillow balanced on its head emitted a soft, sweet voice.
The sound reached Wu Huayin's ears and instantly made the literary girl feel extremely sleepy.
Then look at the Demons's appearance.
Her head was shaped like a pillow, topped with a black nightcap. Her body, which resembled that of a young girl, was dressed in a nightgown of the same color, covered with symbols representing sleep and dreams.
Wait... this isn't the Pillow Demons!
It must be the Sleep-Dream Demon!
(Wow, is there really anyone who's afraid of 'sleeping'?)
(Dude, this is already the second season of the spin-off, don't you understand how Demons are born? Besides negative human emotions, human Desire can also create Demons!)
(Oh, so this is Demons born from the Desire to sleep?)
(No, it could also be the opposite; they might be Demons born from the fear of 'not being able to sleep'... emmm, anyway, it's pretty much the same...)
(Damn it, I'm having insomnia right now. If only this Demons could just let people sleep instead of harming them!)
(I'm also having insomnia... it's so awful...)
Everyone knows how Demons are born: they either stem from negative human emotions or from the fundamental Desire rooted in human nature.
Regardless of the type, their outward performance will be related to their own abilities.
It could be the opposite, or it could be the same.
Judging from the behavior of the Sleep-Dream Demon, whether it is born from negative emotions or human Desire, its abilities are essentially related to sleep.
This single ability is enough to evoke pity in many viewers suffering from insomnia.
It's just a pity that Demons is Demons.
As Xiao Qiu said, once Demons, always Demons. No matter how 'kind' Demons may appear, their essence is to destroy all positive emotions in the world.
They are monsters who should not exist in this world.
"So sleepy... I really want to sleep... No! I can't sleep!!"
As soon as she came into contact with the Sleep-Dream Demon's hypnotic magic, Kanon became drowsy.
Fortunately, her own magic dispelled some of the inexplicable drowsiness, allowing Kanon to immediately come to her senses; otherwise, she probably would have collapsed to the ground and fallen into a deep sleep.
"Purify! Purify! Purify!!"
Feeling sleepy, Kanon instantly cast three purification spells on herself.
After three Purification Magic, Kanon's mind cleared again. Her gaze turned serious as she looked at the Sleep-Dream Demon, pondering to herself:
Why wasn't the space set up the same as last time?
Wu Huayin remembered that the last time she encountered the Demons, she entered that special, empty space.
At the time, Wu Huayin thought she had traveled to an uninhabited parallel world, which terrified her.
It wasn't until the Tunnel Demon was defeated and the special space disappeared that Kanon realized it was something like a barrier.
Thinking back to the settings in the Magical Girls anime she usually watched, Kanon quickly realized that it was a convenient setting that could create a special battlefield on its own.
If that's the case, then such a barrier should appear along with the Demons every time it appears.
But why didn't a barrier appear this time?
Kanon tried to cast Barrier Magic, but when the Barrier Magic appeared, it immediately disappeared, and Wu Huayin immediately sensed that something was wrong.
No, even Barrier Magic won't work!
The bad news didn't stop there. After Kanon's attempt to release Magic Barrier failed, the Sleep-Dream Demon's gaze fell on Kanon once again.
Its tone was gentle, like a mother soothing a child to sleep, as it softly said:
"You naughty child, you're being naughty..."
A heavy magical aura surrounded it, and an even more powerful sleep spell spread outwards like ripples on water!
"To deal with a naughty child..." the Sleep-Dream Demon said, and suddenly a red light shone on the Upper Rank his eyes were positioned. "--Punishment is necessary!"
Within the ripples spreading through the air, eyes opened one after another, each eye bearing a sleeping 'Z' pattern, all simultaneously casting their gaze upon Wu Huayin.
In that instant, Kanon's eyes closed tightly, and she fell forward.
She got infected!!
Just as Kanon was about to collapse and fall unconscious, Kanon body strangely stopped, and she suddenly sat up, looked up, and opened her eyes:
"I... I'm not sleepy!"
The light of Purification Magic shone at the last moment, Wu Huayin's habit of giving herself multiple buffs during battle saved her life at the crucial moment!
Once she regained consciousness, Wu Huayin no longer hesitated. She gripped her staff tightly with both hands and raised it high, unleashing her water-controlling ability derived from her Emotional Force.
The water flowed around me, breaking into small chunks that then spun, solidified, and transformed into tiny, drill-like darts!
The dart was aimed at the Sleep-Dream Demon and launched just before the Sleep-Dream Demon could cast a spell!
"Speed up! Speed up! Sure Hit!!"
Two speed buffs and one Sure Hit buff were used by Kanon on those flying water darts!
Bang bang bang!
The water dart Implosion broke the sound barrier, leaving a long, transparent trail in the air before striking the Sleep-Dream Demon!
"Eeya!!!"
The Sleep-Dream Demon let out a Pain scream, a sound that made Kanon involuntarily cover her ears. The hypnotic magic mixed in made Kanon's eyelids droop.
Even so, Kanon did not stop her attacks.
With a wave of the staff, one water arrow after another shot through the air toward the Sleep-Dream Demon!
The Sleep-Dream Demon seemed unable to move, or rather, its movements were extremely Slowness, making it impossible to effectively dodge or defend itself. For a time, it could only passively take hits!
If the situation remains unchanged, Kanon will be victorious in this battle!
But unfortunately...
The Sleep-Dream Demon... it has allies!
As Kanon was fully focused on eliminating the Sleep-Dream Demon in one fell swoop, she suddenly caught a glimpse of several figures standing up in the corner.
They were a group of mysterious people dressed in combat uniforms and wearing helmets, completely concealing themselves.
They didn't look like ordinary people; they looked more like a legendary special forces unit. And the moment they appeared, they raised their guns at Kanon!
Kanon noticed them, but she was clearly a little late to the party.
As soon as she saw these people, they pulled the trigger on Kanon, and several syringes containing anesthetic were injected into Kanon's body!
Puff--Puff--
"!?"
Kanon never expected that she would be betrayed by the humans she was protecting, and she never expected that these humans would be the helpers of the Sleep-Dream Demon!
Humans... actually joined forces with Demons...? No... these Demons... it's them...
A few moments of realization flashed through Kanon's mind, but the anesthetic was too potent, and the body's reaction couldn't be cleared away by Purification Magic for the time being.
With the Sleep-Dream Demon's continuous hypnotic magic, this time, Kanon was unable to shake off the sleepiness. She fell backward and crashed heavily to the ground!
Bang!
The moment she fell to the ground, Kanon lost consciousness, and her Magical Girl Form was deactivated, returning her to her normal appearance.
The mysterious people were slowly approaching her. Just as they were about to see Kanon's true appearance, the ceiling suddenly shattered!
Boom!!!
A red figure shattered the upper structure and landed in front of Wu Huayin.
Magical Girls with a red ponytail, her fists clenched, her eyes almost spitting fire, stared at the mysterious people around her who dared not move forward due to the unexpected turn of events.
"What... do you intend to do to my juniors?"
The red-haired girl asked coldly, her eyes blazing with barely concealed anger.
Clearly, she was furious!
Starting today, I'll be updating three times a week again!
Hehe~
Volume 5 Side Story <Magic Mystery> Season 2: Chapter 524 is like reading a dark history of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
(Little Red!! Go!! Kill them!!)
(That's right! Even if you kill people, we won't hate you! Kill them!!)
(Killing them would be considered doing a service to the people; in ancient times in the Central Continent District, this would be a great deed!)
(I was so angry when Kanon was anesthetized just now, but I'm relieved now that Little Red is here.)
(My only worry now is that Little Red won't go all out.)
(Don't worry, Little Red is from the Americas District, and when she killed Avery's clone before, she didn't hold back either, did she?)
(Avery had become a monster by then...)
