Chapter 509

The golden magic almost overshadowed the sunlight, making everything nearby appear dim.

The magical light even overshadowed Reiko's figure.

This is Shiori's way of condensing magic.

While Shiori was preparing, Reiko was also drawing cards.

She pursed her lips slightly, and a card appeared in her palm, as if she were about to insert it.

Reckless.

Madness.

The Twin Demons held hands and simultaneously made judgments about Reiko and Shiori in their minds.

Shiori's magic is speed.

Her Emotion Seed is 'Focus', which also provides a certain boost to her speed magic.

Under the same magical power conditions, Shiori's speed is undoubtedly the best!

Moreover, she also possesses the speed boost granted by her Emotional Force.

Speed plus speed, plus the power of focused concentration...

Under normal circumstances, within the Nightmare Barrier, the two Puppet Demon probably wouldn't dare to confront Shiori head-on.

Because they simply had no way to react to Shiori's attacks.

And now, they are also unable to react to Shiori's attack.

But... they have hostages in their hands.

"It seems we can only go this far, sister."

"Yes, it's a pity we didn't know their identities, but at least... we should make them regret it and make them lose their 'honor' as Magical Girls."

The Twin Demons communicated in their minds.

Perhaps they really couldn't effectively react to Reiko and Shiori's attacks. If the other side was determined to kill them, the Twin Demons, whose magic was mostly control-type, had no way to resist.

Their only fate was death.

Even in death, they at least did what they were supposed to do as Demons.

Killing those who should be protected by Magical Girls in front of them would be a huge blow to the Magical Girls' psyche.

The power of Magical Girls originates from their own emotions.

Once Magical Girls's emotions and beliefs are severely damaged or questioned, her power will also decrease.

For them, being able to weaken the Magical Girls' power is an invaluable victory!

"Then let's go."

Who would you choose?

The Twin Demons each gazed at a Magical Girls, their fingers resting on silken threads. With just a light touch, most ordinary people bound by these threads would instantly lose their lives.

The lightning was still building up, Twin Demons watched warily.

But in that sudden moment, accompanied by a clap of thunder, Shiori's figure vanished from their sight in a bizarre manner!

Click--!

A sound like thunder striking the earth exploded simultaneously in the ears of the Twin Demons.

Out of the corner of their eyes, they caught a glimpse of the golden lightning flashing towards them, and in that instant, they both realized that Shiori had attacked both of them at the same time!

Since that's the case, let's do it together—

Huh?

The Twin Demons were about to flick their fingers, intending to use their magic to kill the ordinary people bound by the threads.

However, the thread did not react.

"Why?"

"Sister... her body... is spinning... ah..."

The Puppet Demon with the left ponytail was confused, while the Puppet Demon with the right ponytail saw its own headless body spinning.

No, it's not the body that's spinning.

It's their head.

It has been severed.

In that instant, in the blink of an eye, they... had already lost their lives!

Their shared Magic Source was Severing, so they could no longer use magic.

Perhaps when they reach Upper Rank, they will be able to unleash a final attack through the connection between their magic.

Unfortunately, they were only of Lower Rank.

For Lower Rank- level Demons, the 'injury' of being decapitated is enough to kill them!

"This... is impossible--!"

The Demons with the left ponytail only realized what Shiori and Reiko had done on her deathbed, and she couldn't believe it:

"In that instant just now... you actually unleashed... speed comparable to Middle Rank?! How is that possible?!"

"Because of the Magic Link." Reiko breathed a sigh of relief, now certain the Twin Demons had been defeated, and explained to the two, "As Demons, you should know exactly what this is."

"Even Magic Link wouldn't work! Even if two people's magical power were combined, unless their magical power was ridiculously high, they absolutely couldn't cross the barrier of their levels—"

"What if we add this?"

Reiko raised her hand.

On the card slot of the card dealer in that hand, a 'Status Card - Speed' was emitting a faint magical glow.

Upon seeing this, the Twin Demons with the right ponytail quickly understood what Shiori and Reiko were doing.

"Your... cards... can even be given to teammates...?"

"Normally, it wouldn't work." Reiko shook her head. "But... Senior Aurora said that Shiori and I can unite our Emotional Force. By connecting our Emotional Force, I can use my abilities to enhance my companions' power."

Swish--

With a flash of lightning, Shiori returned to Reiko's side and said to the gradually dissipating Twin Demons:

"That's why I was able to unleash a speed that you couldn't react to just now."

Shiori enters a memory, and the scene returns to Shiori's perspective from just now.

While Shiori was preparing to launch an attack, Reiko was frantically drawing and Card Swap.

After drawing cards, if you encounter cards that don't suit your taste, Reiko can actually destroy them and put them back into cooldown mode.

However, if you keep Card Swap, the Twin Demons might notice something amiss.

That's why Shiori deliberately released a lightning bolt so bright it could obscure everything, to block Reiko's card-drawing action.

When Reiko drew the Speed Card Status Card and used it on Shiori finally began her attack!

In Shiori's world, time seems to stand still, and everything around her, including the ripples of sound, is clearly visible to her.

In an instant, Shiori transformed into golden lightning, rushing towards the Twin Demons at an even faster speed in that slowed-down world!

Extreme speed brings extremely strong power!

Sprint, blink, draw your sword.

Two daggers easily sliced open the throats of the two men, Severing their connection to the Nightmare Seed!

In that instant, Shiori felt as if she had truly become a god who controlled speed!

"This... is the bond between Reiko and me!" Shiori concluded.

(Aba aba aba--)

(I can't understand Korean)

(In short, it's because of the connection of Emotional Force, plus the Magic Link, that the two of them also share magical properties... Is that what you mean?)

(Oh, I see. So, just like how Xiao Qiu can use other people's magical powers, Shiori also used Reiko's power at that moment... like that?)

(It's not quite the same; it's more like Reiko used her own cards to 'enchant' Shiori.)

(I don't care about any of that! Show me Xiao Bai! I want to see Xiao Bai!! I'll die if I don't see the little, sweet, and soft Xiao Bai...!)

(Me too!!)

(Shiori and Reiko are crying.)

"Um... she wasn't crying..."

Seeing this comment on the Sky Screen, Reiko scratched her cheek.

Then her expression suddenly turned somewhat... lewd, and she chuckled to herself, muttering:

"I also want to see little Xiao Bai, and it would be even better if I could hold her..."

Snap!

Shiori's hand chop landed mercilessly on Reiko's head:

"Don't even think about it, you'll be executed by Senior Xiao Chun!"

"Ugh, just thinking about it... Ah, right." Reiko suddenly looked at Ayaka, as if struck by a thought:

"Ayaka- chan, could you please ask your cousin to turn into Xiao Bai so we can hug him?"

Ayaka: "?"

The girl with long, silver-gray hair pointed to herself, looking utterly confused.

Then, Shiori delivered another solid chop to his head:

"Don't ask people for favors randomly! Ayaka and her cousin aren't that close in real life!"

"Hmm..." Ayaka nodded. "...Yes, Mr. Fang Ming and I...are not familiar with each other."

As she spoke, a hint of melancholy and disappointment unconsciously crept into her voice.

Tsukinomiya Yuki in the Sky Screen is really cute. If I could, Ayaka would really like to have a younger brother like that.

But unfortunately...

In reality, Fang Ming could not possibly lose his memory and become a child again.

So Ayaka is just a dream now...

Volume 5 Side Story <Magic Mystery> Season 2: Chapter 548 The Amount of Talent

The Twin Demons were killed by Reiko and Shiori.

Shiori also held their shared Nightmare Seed her hand.

Reiko held the Nightmare Seed in her hand, looking at the two people who, even as it was dissipating, still held hands tightly, her expression filled with sorrow.

"You... were you once human?"

Reiko suddenly asked the two of them.

The Twin Demons, slowly approaching death, spoke in a calm tone:

"Indeed."

But none of that matters anymore.

But upon hearing their conversation, Reiko couldn't help but shout out loud:

"How could it not be important?!"

The Twin Demons' eyes darted around, both looking at Reiko who had come before them. They heard Reiko say:

"You were once ordinary people, you were human beings, but you've become like this, forced to attack other humans... Don't you think this is going too far!"

"We..." "It was voluntary," the Twin Demons said, one after the other.

The girl with the left ponytail whispered to Reiko:

"We once had a terminal illness... we were bedridden, unable to move, unable to walk, like..." "like puppets that had been made."
