Chapter 539
Ayaka embedded the shield into the chain beneath her feet, using it to protect Kanon, while looking worriedly at Xiao Bai in the distance.
But Xiao Bai himself... remained completely still under this immense and surging magical power!
She stood on the silver chain that she had transformed and controlled, her eyes filled with confusion and memories, strands of which, like falling raindrops, seeped into the depths of her consciousness.
She recalled some things.
"It's truly... ugly..." Xiao Bai suddenly said coldly to Elena.
"Using a borrowed body, borrowed power, and even a borrowed image, you're slowly walking towards the Abyss. Is this what your 'father' wants?"
"Do you even know what your so-called 'father' has turned you into?!"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up! I am... Father's most perfect... most perfect creation!! As long as I kill you...! That's right... as long as I kill you!!"
Elena was originally cold and arrogant, was now just like Xiao Bai, whose mind had been invaded by the Erosive Power.
He became irritable, easily angered, and bloodthirsty.
Black and red lines covered her face, and even her skin turned a deeper red. At this moment, Elena looked exactly like the Demons Xiao Bai from back then!
Even more so... the darkness within its body is even deeper!
"... Is communication no longer possible?"
Xiao Bai muttered to himself, and before Aurora and Luna could ask, he said to them:
"Aurora, Miss Luna, please continue on with Sister Ayaka and the others. Leave this to me."
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Aurora immediately retorted, "Your current strength is only at the Lower Rank, how could you possibly stop her?!"
"Don't worry..." Xiao Bai said to Aurora with a complicated expression, "If it were any other Demons, I might not be so confident, but if it's this one—"
Splash--!
The sound of chains rang out again, but this time it wasn't Elena's chains that moved, but the chains that Xiao Bai had taken control of.
These chains wrapped around Aurora and the others' ankles, forcefully pulling them outside the barrier.
Aurora wanted to resist, but when she saw Xiao Bai's back, the image of Xiao Bai and Fang Ming flashed before her eyes again.
Fang Ming and her faith in the person she loved made her stop resisting and Xiao Bai Aurora her out of the barrier.
But as she was leaving, Aurora couldn't help but shout loudly at Xiao Bai:
"Hey!! Don't get hurt! Come back safely! Do you hear me?! Otherwise... otherwise you'll never be able to act alone again for the rest of your life!!"
"..."
Listening to Aurora's final 'comments,' Xiao Bai scratched his cheek rather awkwardly.
She muttered softly, "... What do you mean by 'I'll never be able to act alone in this lifetime'? That sounds a bit dangerous... Never mind."
Ignoring what Aurora said at the end, after sending all the Magical Girls away, Xiao Bai finally faced the completely crazed silver-haired girl in front of him.
"So... what should we do next?"
Xiao Bai murmured to himself.
Ending theme music is inserted.
Immediately following the clash of the chains between the two sides, the game transitions directly into the ending sequence.
End of episode 10.
(Ah, so what's the deal with this Elena?)
(I don't know, it seems this episode won't provide the answer...)
(Xiao Bai's last sentence sounded a bit unsettling. Was she confident or not?)
(Xiao Bai won't do things he's not confident about, so it should be fine.)
(Yes, the Xiao Bai of the past wouldn't do things he wasn't sure of, but this young Xiao Bai...)
(Anyway, it's almost episode eleven! Let's keep watching!)
"The pacing of this tenth episode is a bit slow."
After watching episode 10, Fang Ming's attention was drawn to the pacing of the spin-off episode 10.
Throughout the three main seasons and the one spin-off season, the final boss always appears in the tenth episode, preparing for the final battle.
Episode eleven is the official final battle.
But... in the tenth episode of the second season of the spin-off, even Elena couldn't solve the problem.
Is there enough time left to fight Avery?
Fang Ming was very skeptical of this.
Volume 5 Side Story Magic Mystery Season 2: Chapter 578 You're Just a Fake
The eleventh episode begins with a shot of the laboratory.
A young girl with short black hair was huddled in a corner of the laboratory, holding a slightly worn rag doll in her hand.
The girl hugged the doll tightly to her chest, looking timidly at the person who walked up to her.
That person...
It's Avery.
"Elena, do you want to... become Magical Girls?"
The doctor named Avery knelt down in front of Elena and asked her a question.
Elena hugged the rag doll tightly, not daring to look up at Avery. She didn't answer Avery's question or make a sound, her entire being perfectly embodying the word 'resistance'.
Avery wasn't angry at all. He took a few steps forward, sat down next to Elena, and leaned against the wall with her, continuing to speak to Elena:
"Becoming Magical Girls means you can do whatever you want, eat delicious food, play with fun toys, and go to places you've always wanted to go but couldn't. There are so many benefits!"
"..."
Elena seemed somewhat tempted; she slightly raised her head, revealing her current appearance.
That appearance was different from Xiao Bai's; in fact, because of the burn scars on her face, her little face didn't look very pretty.
But those eyes were so pure.
She is as pure as any other Magical Girls.
Elena, with her pure eyes, felt a glimmer of hope and expectation in them Avery's words.
"Then... can I... heal my face?"
"Elena asked softly."
Avery smiled and nodded, "Of course."
"Can... can I also have a family...?"
"In fact, Elena, you can call me 'father' if you wish."
Avery gave the short-haired girl a gentle and kind smile.
Elena's eyes shone even brighter as she looked at Avery with anticipation and softly called out:
"Father...?"
"Yes, I'm here." Avery raised his hand and placed it on Elena's head.
Elena initially instinctively tried to dodge, but quickly stopped and let Avery stroke her hair.
Elena quickly lowered her guard, a comfortable expression appearing on her face, her eyes narrowing like a kitten's.
"So, you want to become Magical Girls, Elena?"
"I want to!" Elena answered decisively this time, nodding earnestly, "I want to become Magical Girls!"
Splash--!
The sound of chains Elena from her reverie.
She thought of Avery, and of her 'father' who had restored her home and given her such beautiful looks.
The more Elena thought of him, the more hatred she felt towards the person before her.
"Father... the person he most desires..."
Elena was filled with jealousy.
She knew she wasn't right, that she didn't deserve to be called a Magical Girls, but Elena was still jealous of the 'original owner' in front of her.
If the other person doesn't exist, will Father only look after me?
If all Magical Girls are wiped out, then I will be Father's only child!
Jealousy, hatred, anger, and other emotions filled the depths of Elena's heart.
The negative magic emanating from her intensified, and the omnipresent Calamity Power, along with the chains, slammed down on the silver-haired girl before her.
The silver-haired girl called 'Xiao Bai'.
"I... want to be Father's only one!!"
Elena roared.
However, her roar was met with Xiao Bai's cold and merciless mockery:
"Being turned into this state, and not even realizing your own life is on the verge of collapse, yet you're still fighting for the guy who made you this way... you're truly hopeless!"
"You... don't understand anything!"
Elena shouted loudly, manipulating her chains to clash and battle with Xiao Bai's chains in mid-air.
But the moment these chains came into contact with Xiao Bai's chains, they fell under Xiao Bai's control.
It wasn't until this moment that Elena realized that all the power within the barrier was being absorbed by Xiao Bai.
Even... including the Magic Source within her!
That Emotion Seed... is transforming into Nightmare Seed!
"Why... why...!?"
Upon realizing this, Elena finally panicked. Feeling her power gradually draining from her body, she suddenly looked at Xiao Bai:
"What exactly did you do?!"
"Fool, don't you understand?"
Xiao Bai walked towards Elena, and the Disaster and chains that were originally under Elena's control now completely submitted to her feet.
The enormous chains within the barrier paved a path beneath Xiao Bai's feet, leading directly to Elena's side.
Although the girl's body was small, it appeared incredibly tall in Elena's eyes at this moment.
Just like the king who controls this barrier, he inspires awe and fear.
Swish--
The scythe swung down, and Xiao Bai's scythe landed on Elena's chest.
At this distance, Xiao Bai only needs to swing his scythe lightly again to easily cut off Elena's head.
But Xiao Bai didn't do that.
Perhaps to make Elena died knowing the truth, Xiao Bai pointed to Elena's heart and said to her:
"Your Emotion Seed... no, it should be called the Nightmare Seed. The power contained within it originally belonged to me. You are not a Magical Girls at all; you are merely... a 'fake' created by the Aurora Society."
Xiao Bai said indifferently.
Elena's pupils dilated, her expression filled with disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, the operation began.
(... Wait, did I miss watching an episode?)
(Although I know that the fight between Xiao Bai and Elena is pretty much a foregone conclusion, skipping over their entire battle is just too much, isn't it??)
(So how did Xiao Bai know that Elena was an imposter?)
(After all, the power comes from the same source, so it's normal that they would know.)
