Chapter 514
"You too--"
Too...?
What else?
The Magical Girls were stunned for a moment, but quickly realized it was the same attack they had launched earlier!
It was also 'returned' to us by the Information Demon!
The dazzling magical light reappeared, but this time the target was not the Information Demon, but the Magical Girls who had just launched their attack!
"Reiko, watch out!"
Shiori, who had just caught Aurora, quickly arrived at Reiko's side again, helping her dodge the magical attack that Reiko had just launched.
On the other side Ayaka and Kanon also reacted.
Faced with the magic bullets that Luna fired but were reflected back, Ayaka held her giant shield in front of her, while Kanon behind her waved her staff, casting layer upon layer of buffs on Ayaka!
Thump!!!
The magic bullet struck the surface of the Ayaka, instantly shattering the first layer of magical barrier. The bullet spun on the shield's surface, flying further inwards!
"Oh no... I... can't hold on--!"
After holding out against the bullets for a while, Ayaka called for help.
This magic bullet was a full-force attack personally fired by Luna, Middle Rank Magical Girls!
The Ayaka could hold out for even a second or two already demonstrates her extremely strong defensive capabilities!
Even so, Ayaka couldn't hold on any longer.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ayaka's fate will be to have her shield shattered and be shot away by a bullet!
Fortunately, Luna was right next to her.
The taciturn Luna didn't remind Ayaka. She transformed the sniper rifle in her hand into a pistol, then swung it forcefully and pulled the trigger.
Bang!!
The bullet left the barrel, bypassed Ayaka's shield, and arrived in front of her, shattering the bullet that Luna had fired at the beginning.
The attack was neutralized, Ayaka breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground.
Luna, however, looked at the Information Demon with a gloomy face.
That attack just now... seemed to be a bit stronger than the attacks she launched earlier!
"Phew, that was close! Oh dear, are you guys alright?"
The Information Demon who had returned the attack wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his brow as if he were still shaken.
Then he pretended to care about the Magical Girls.
This tone infuriated the Magical Girls, but they couldn't do anything about it.
"What's going on?!"
Aurora returned to the center and asked Kelly.
Kelly's expression turned serious, and she was about to answer when the Information Demon spoke up before she could:
"It's very simple. This is a world of data. All your attacks, once they become data attacks against me, have already been analyzed by me, so--"
She stretched out her hand, pointed to the Magical Girls below, her mask expression changing to a 'happy' look, and said with a grin:
"Your attacks are ineffective against me~"
Not only that, she can also transfer the Magical Girls' attacks back to her through data copying!
This is the Information Demon!
In the online world, she is undoubtedly a goddess!
(Ugh, what kind of dung monster is this?)
(This is pure mechanics weird! How are Little Red and the others supposed to beat it now?)
(Xiao Qiu and the others should be able to beat them, right?)
(I'm not sure, since only Little Red and the others are here right now...)
(By the way, why not bring the Information Demon into the real world to fight?)
(Maybe there's no way, or maybe it's impossible?)
(Where's Xiao Bai? Xiao Bai, please help! Xiao Bai!!)
No, no, no, even if Xiao Bai came here, she probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
Fang Ming could clearly see the 'pleas for help' messages in the live chat.
Even Xiao Bai would probably have a hard time dealing with the Information Demon.
After all, Xiao Bai's strength is different now than before!
"However, if it were Xiao Qiu and the others who came, they might be immune to this mechanism."
Fang Ming made a guess.
Yu Muqiu and her group are at Upper Rank, and even if the Information Demon tries to imitate them, it can only replicate attacks of the same level as itself.
It definitely cannot exceed this upper limit.
Therefore, as long as any Upper Rank Magical Girls appears, the Information Demon will be destroyed by the Magical Girls.
Unfortunately, according to current rumors, there is no indication that Yu Muqiu and her group will appear.
Even Xiao Chun, whose relationship with Aurora is rather complicated, couldn't make it over.
"Ah, it's a dung monster..."
Wu Huayin muttered, "Our attacks are ineffective against her, and they even bounce back as her abilities... This monster is too weak! If this were a game, the designer who created this monster would be cursed to death..."
Wu Huayin, a writer, a homebody, a game enthusiast... and so on, muttered to herself in a language that was hard for others to understand.
However, although the other Magical Girls besides Reiko didn't quite understand what she was saying, they all understood one thing at least.
So, it seems this ambush has failed.
Moreover, it seems that everyone is trapped in a cage they themselves have created.
This time, they've really spun their own seed and gotten themselves into trouble!
"There... there must be some way, right!"
Reiko was lucky enough to draw Weapon Card again. She gripped the red spear tightly with both hands and looked at Aurora with a tense and worried expression.
Aurora clenched her fists, bit her lip, and turned to look at Kelly.
Although Kelly's forehead was covered in cold sweat, she seemed to have thought of something and whispered to the Magical Girls:
"Don't worry, she definitely won't be able to completely copy our abilities, so..."
"Yes, I can only copy the moves you use, and I can only use them once... Oops, did I accidentally reveal my ability?"
The Information Demon's mask was blinking, as if it were trying to be cute.
But the more she said that, the less the Magical Girls believed she was telling the truth.
Is it possible for Demon Society voluntarily reveal the flaws and mechanics of its abilities to Magical Girls?
"... Whether it can only be used once or not, you'll find out once you try it!"
Aurora whispered, then instructed the Magical Girls, "Don't make a move. I'll go and test the waters first!"
After speaking, the red-haired girl's figure shot like a streak of light from below to the front of the Information Demon above!
The magic erupted once more, and the red fist, covered in magical energy, slammed down!
Straight Punch!
Bang!!!
The fist landed on the Information Demon again.
Just like before, the Information Demon remained motionless, and then, a phantom similar to Aurora's attack appeared again!
This attack is aimed at Aurora's flank!
"!?"
Aurora, who had been on guard for some time, reacted quickly this time.
She threw another punch to block the incoming fist. The two fists collided in mid-air, and the magical shockwave rippled outwards from the point of impact.
The copy attack aimed at Aurora was shattered by Aurora.
Aurora then looked around warily, but... the expected second attack did not occur.
Her expression shifted slightly.
The Information Demon was actually telling the truth?
She really couldn't use a second copy attack?
Aurora was quite surprised.
Aurora was only surprised for a moment before turning around again and throwing a heavy punch at the Information Demon!
But this time... the Information Demon's body was shattered by Aurora!
"Oh dear..."
With a hint of helplessness in her voice, the Information Demon's body transformed into a stream of data and reassembled in another location. She said:
"... She really is a grumpy Magical Girls."
Regardless of what she said, after throwing her second punch, Aurora shouted loudly to the crowd:
"She can only replicate one attack within a short timeframe! Everyone—attack!!"
After resolving the first copying attack, Aurora chose to take action again in order to investigate this matter.
Although the Information Demon can replicate attacks, the interval between replications, whether it can replicate indefinitely or only in limited quantities within a short period, are currently unclear.
If the Magical Girls hesitate to act simply because their attacks could be used against them, they certainly won't be able to defeat the Information Demon today.
Aurora's attack broke the stalemate that could have put everyone in a passive position!
Volume 5 Side Story Magic Mystery Season 2: Chapter 553 Xiao Bai is still on his way
Upon learning that the Information Demon's methods could not be reused, Kelly, while surprised, also cast a relieved glance at Aurora.
Aurora can be reckless at times and unwilling to use her brain, but in crucial moments, Aurora can sometimes find a way to break the deadlock.
For example, it's like this now.
After Aurora's reminder, Kelly roughly understood the Information Demon's method of copying attacks.
She explained to the crowd:
"I understand now. The Information Demon can copy information, but only with attacks involving relatively small amounts of information! Once the amount of information exceeds her processing limit..."
"She will be unable to replicate due to computing power overload! I see!" Kanon suddenly realized.
Since the Information Demon is called the 'Information' Demons, it proves that all her attack methods are based on this.
And the key element related to information is undoubtedly the 'amount of information'.
The Magical Girls' attacks contain a great deal of information, and even with the Information Demon's expertise in this area, it's impossible for him to keep replicating their skills indefinitely.
Once the amount of information exceeds a certain level, even the Information Demon will be unable to continue replicating the opponent's attack!
Or even if it could be copied and reproduced, it would take a very, very long time.
Given this premise, the way the Magical Girls deal with each other's abilities becomes obvious.
You either attack the opponent with excessive attacks, or you attack them with high-quality attacks that the opponent cannot replicate in a short time!
Just like Aurora!
Two consecutive all-out attacks prevented the Information Demon from making a complete copy for a moment, so she had no choice but to use data transfer to evade Aurora's attack!
Having found a way to defeat the enemy, the Magical Girls have begun their operation once again.
Luna, Ayaka, and Kanon began to coordinate closely. Luna hid behind Ayaka's shield and transformed her Magical Armament into a submachine gun, unleashing a hail of bullets towards the Information Demon.
