Chapter 508
Perhaps the Information Demon located here is not a physical entity, but even if it is not a physical entity, its virtual form existing here is a real Middle Rank!
As for the Middle Rank attacks, even attacks released by virtual entities are difficult for Magical Girls to withstand!
The more crucial factor is the Information Demon's attack method.
The opponent likely transformed into a virtual form the instant before being attacked, and then solidified the attack when it was released!
Don't be fooled by how simple this move looks; it can actually be quite troublesome in actual combat!
Because Ayaka and Kanon simply couldn't analyze the Information Demon's attacks to determine which were physical and which were virtual!
It's possible that the attack you're dodging is actually fake, but when you actually believe that and try to withstand the attack head-on, that attack might actually become real!
That's how it is with Ayaka.
She thought it was a feint attack, so she didn't dodge or defend herself, but ended up suffering a severe injury as a result!
"... I'm sorry..." Wu Huayin raised her staff to heal Ayaka, and said apologetically at the same time:
"I should have realized this sooner..."
"It's alright, I was just too careless."
Ayaka said coldly.
Even with the severe injury to her shoulder, she only frowned slightly, as if the penetrating wound didn't exist for her.
Years of hospital life honed Ayaka's remarkable willpower amidst illness and pain.
The pain was indeed intense, but it was still within Ayaka's tolerance level.
Ayaka and Kanon stood side by side again.
Ayaka her shield up in front of her, shielding herself and Kanon behind her, and warily watched the Information Demon.
Slap, slap
Seeing that the two had finally calmed down... or rather, that Ayaka had finally calmed down, the Information Demon clapped his hands in an approving manner and said to the two:
"That's more like it, calm down. After all... I just wanted to play a game with you guys~ Hmm, although I've already won a little bit."
The Information Demon pinched his index finger and thumb together and showed it to the two of them.
Ayaka was about to speak, Kanon placed her hand on her shoulder, signaling her to be quiet and let her speak.
Ayaka a moment's hesitation, Ayaka ultimately chose to listen to Kanon's words for the time being, and remained silent.
Kanon stepped forward and, through the shield, asked the Information Demon:
"The game you're referring to is the one that extracts information from us by threatening ordinary people?"
"Pretty much. My 'boss' behind the scenes really wanted to know who you were, so we pulled this stunt... As for more, unfortunately... because things have turned out this way, I really, really hate you all now."
"Being able to stand here and calmly talk to you is already my limit; anything more... my instincts are resisting me from speaking."
The Information Demon pointed to himself.
Fighting and destroying Magical Girls Demons's instinct.
The Demons transformed by the Aurora Society also inherited similar instincts, but because they were originally human and are now controlled by the Aurora Society, some of their instincts have been temporarily suppressed.
But this is only a temporary suppression.
Trying to help the Magical Girls, trying to reveal more to Magical Girls —this act of going against the instincts etched deep within their souls—makes the Demons feel uncomfortable.
So even if the Information Demon has some 'goodwill' towards the Magical Girls, it's not enough to make her completely go against her instincts.
In other words, if Kanon wants to try and obtain more crucial information through the Information Demon...
That's simply impossible.
"Then we have nothing more to say!"
Ayaka finally couldn't hold back any longer and said coldly, "... Anyway, as long as I eliminate you here, everything will be over!"
"Heh heh heh, destroy me?" The Information Demon suddenly laughed. "I suppose you're not aware of the hierarchical divisions among Demons, are you?"
"No, perhaps you know these things from what your 'predecessors' told you, but you don't truly understand them, right?"
"Then let me tell you. Among Demons, Lower Rank, Middle Rank, Upper Rank, Lord... each stage is an insurmountable obstacle, each stage represents a difference between heaven and earth."
"And the same is true in Magical Girls."
The Information Demon pointed to himself and said, "And I am the Middle Rank, you—"
The Information Demon then pointed to Ayaka and Kanon: "They're the Lower Rank."
"So what!"
"Therefore, you will never be my match, that's right, never."
The Information Demon said with extreme pride and self-satisfaction.
The emoji on her face changed to a pattern that matched her mood.
However, the instant the Information Demon finished speaking—
Splash--!
The clanging of chains echoed from underground.
Perhaps it was just a blink of an eye, a breath, or even just a thought, but when the sound of chains was heard, the chains had already burst from the ground and completely enveloped the Information Demon!
"--What if I were included?"
A clear, unique girl's voice rang out from behind the Information Demon.
A sharp, cold glint flashed as the blade of the long-handled scythe was already pressed against the Information Demon's neck!
(|||?д?)!
The expression on the mask on the Information Demon's face suddenly turned into shock.
She stared intently at the scythe on her neck, and the expression on her mask changed back to a sweating little figure.
Wow... that's fast!
And... who is this guy?!
A new Magical Girls??
The Information Demon glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.
There, a rather short, silver-haired girl who looked like a child was holding a scythe twice her own height, resting it on the Information Demon's shoulder.
The blade of the scythe was aimed directly at the Information Demon's throat!
Moreover, the chains growing from the ground around them formed a cage-like shape, locking the two people in the middle.
This is yet another Magical Girls!
A Magical Girls whom Ayaka nor the Information Demon had ever seen before!
(Holy crap! Xiao Bai!!!!)
(Great! It's Xiao Bai! We're saved!!!)
(Young white! It's Young Xiao Bai!! Never mind, I'll lick it first as a sign of respect! prprprprpr--)
(To be clear about that comment from earlier, or the Magical Girls might come to your house for a team-building activity!)
(Is this for real??)
(...6)
(Xiao Bai!! I love you!!!!)
(I see, I get it now! Tsukinomiya Yuki wanted to sign a contract with Hitomi for this reason! So, after signing a contract with Magical Girls, Miemie was able to regain her Magical Girls powers!)
"Such a thing...?"
The reappearance of Xiao Bai in the Sky Screen surprised Fang Ming greatly.
After Sky Screen, he had never lost the Magical Girls's power from the very beginning, so he wasn't very clear about the benefits of signing a contract with Magical Girls.
At least in reality, Fang Ming didn't change much after signing with Xilisi. He couldn't even use his companion's abilities like Xiao Qiu!
It was precisely this crucial difference that prevented Fang Ming from immediately guessing what Tsukinomiya Yuki was thinking in the Sky Screen.
But if Tsukinomiya Yuki already knew that by making contracts with girls and turning them into Magical Girls, she could regain her powers...
That makes perfect sense now that Tsukinomiya Yuki had Nishino Hitomi sign a contract with her.
As expected, Tsukinomiya Yuki's thoughts were the same as Fang Ming's. He signed a contract with Nishino Hitomi not so that Nishino Hitomi would fight, but so that he could regain his power and fight the Demons himself!
But the problem is...
"... Seems... a bit weak..."
Fang Ming looked at Xiao Bai and muttered to himself.
While the appearance of Xiao Bai in the Sky Screen was exciting, judging from Xiao Bai performance, she had completely lost the power she possessed at the end of the third season of the main series, which allowed her to fight against Pillar-Tier Demon!
Judging from Xiao Bai's appearance, her strength... is probably only barely at the edge of the Middle Rank.
There wasn't even a Middle Rank!
After Resurrection, did the Magical Girl Form's power decrease by such a large margin?
Wait a minute, if the Magical Girls form has already been activated, what about the Demons form?
Does Tsukinomiya Yuki know that she can activate her Demon Form?
Has the power of the Demon Form also weakened?
One question after another surfaced in Fang Ming's mind.
But perhaps only Tsukinomiya Yuki herself knows the answers to these questions.
Volume 5 Side Story <Magic Mystery> Season 2: Chapter 547 This is our bond!
When Xiao Bai appeared, the chat was buzzing with excitement.
However, the Sky Screen seemed to be doing it on purpose, switching the camera to the other side in the blink of an eye.
This is Reiko and Shiori's battlefield.
Reiko and Shiori stood on either side, their magic already connected, unseen by the Twin Demons, and simultaneously prepared to attack.
Are you going to attack us again?
The Twin Demons continued in unison, "Every attack you launch from now on..."
"It will cause an innocent person to die."
"As Magical Girls, this is clearly a breach of her qualifications, isn't it?"
So, do you still want to continue?
"Shut up!!!" Shiori yelled at the Twin Demons, while crouching low, ready to charge.
After Reiko and Shiori finished shouting, Reiko turned to the Twin Demons, "Perhaps you're right. If the people here really die because of us, at least... I definitely won't be able to convince myself..."
"Then you..."
"But!" Reiko shouted, "Wouldn't it be better to eliminate you before you hurt others?!"
The Twin Demons froze, but soon, a hint of mockery appeared on their expressionless faces.
"Can't you even see the difference in strength?" Zuomawei sighed, shaking her head as if she were ashamed of Reiko and Shiori's intelligence.
The Puppet Demon with the right ponytail also shook its head:
"You may be strong, but you absolutely cannot eliminate us before we can react."
"Shut up, Demons! Can we even possibly do this...?"
Let's see how they perform.
As if infected by the Twin Demons, Shiori and Reiko spoke one after the other in the same tone as the Twin Demons.
The Twin Demons suddenly fell silent.
Shiori and Reiko exchanged glances and smiled at each other, preparing to launch their attack.
Crackling and popping--
Yellow lightning gathered at Shiori's feet.
