Chapter 568
Of course, she certainly wouldn't be like Xiao Bai, who would greet you with a cold tone saying things like "You're not qualified as Magical Girls" the moment you met.
But since they are new Magical Girls, Xiaoxia needs to test their abilities before she can feel at ease.
The Demon Army could arrive at any time, and if any Magical Girls among them are half-hearted, something bad is bound to happen.
Xiaoxia now understands Xiao Bai's feelings a little better. There's a saying...
Question the Xiao Bai, acknowledge the Xiao Bai, become Xiao Bai.
That's roughly the idea.
Chen Xiaoxia left Fang Ming's house in a good mood. Yu Muqiu thought about it and decided to stay overnight at Fang Ming's house that night.
Tomorrow, she's going to take Dongdong with her to see Aurora and Tsukinomiya Yuki.
I believe that once Dongdong sees Tsukinomiya Yuki, he won't keep obsessing over things anymore.
Nothing more was said that night.
Yu Muqiu also spent a sleepless night.
As Magical Girls approaching the Pillar Rank, Yu Muqiu's own life level has also been improved, so she no longer needs to use sleep to restore her spirit.
The same goes for other Magical Girls; they maintain their human physical state to remind themselves that they are still human.
They become Magical Girls to protect their families and the world, not to actually transform into non-human beings.
But sometimes, the Magical Girls, like Xiao Qiu now, will stay up all night.
"I'm about to officially meet Brother Fang Ming, and I'm a little nervous."
Yu Muqiu leaned against the second-floor balcony of Fang Ming's house, looking towards the horizon.
In the early morning sky, the sun is slowly rising, heralding the start of a new day.
Yu Muqiu imagined the scene of meeting Tsukinomiya Yuki, his heart filled with anticipation.
She fantasized that after Tsukinomiya Yuki met with them, she would quickly regain her memories and happily return to everyone's side.
She also imagined that Tsukinomiya Yuki hadn't immediately regained her memories, but because she felt familiar with everyone, she quickly became one of them.
Ultimately, what shattered Yu Muqiu's illusions was the ominous aura that suddenly appeared in the sky.
"!!"
Her expression instantly turned serious. Yu Muqiu transformed from her simple and honest appearance into the mature and composed demeanor she had at the beginning of episode 0.
Without any hesitation, she transformed into Magical Girls in a flash of light, and looked up at the sky.
In the morning light, a narrow crack appeared in the sky, visible only to those with magical powers.
The crack was initially inconspicuous; from Yu Muqiu's perspective below, it was only about the thickness of a finger.
But then, the crack extended to both sides, splitting open to reveal the World Sea whose barrier had been breached.
Behind the crevice, two figures dressed in black robes and armor stood one behind the other.
Boom!!
The moment it appeared, an immense pressure surged down upon it as if the sky were collapsing.
In that instant, the animals on this half of the planet began to become restless, the air pressure suddenly dropped, and the Magical Girls all felt an overwhelming pressure!
It's Demons!
And he's Pillar Rank Demons!
Them...
It's here!
The ending theme intro begins here.
As the music played, the screen suddenly went white, and two words enclosed in parentheses appeared on the Sky Screen.
--"The attack"
Then, enter ED!
(?????)
(Huh?! No way?! This is the first episode?!)
(Are we really going to face two Pillar-Tier Demon right in the first episode?! Seriously!?)
(If you didn't know better, you'd think this was episode ten!)
(Wait a minute, this isn't right! At the end of last season, they were only dealing with Xiao Bai who could barely be considered Pillar Rank... This season starts by facing a pillar directly?! The pace is too fast!)
(But... apart from the Pillar Rank, the ordinary Upper Rank ones really don't pose a threat to Xiao Qiu and the others anymore.)
(But starting with two Pillar Rank right away, isn't that too... too dangerous?!)
(No, it should be said that it's fortunate there were only two Pillar Rank, and it's also fortunate that the Demons are now scattered, otherwise Xiao Qiu and the others would be in real danger!)
The appearance of two Pillar Rank at the end of the first episode truly surprised the audience.
Although there was always some kind of surprise at the end of the first episode in previous seasons, none of those surprises were as big as the one that happened now.
Even though everyone was not prepared, Pillar Rank Demons suddenly attacked, making the audience very worried about whether Xiao Qiu and the others could get through this difficult time safely.
"... Whether we can survive this ordeal or not, I'll find out with my own eyes."
Fang Ming turned his head to look at the crack in the sky that had stopped moving.
In this still world, at this very moment, on the other side of Spring City, Xiao Qiu and the others are probably looking up at the sky, staring at the Pillar-Tier Demon inside.
Next, when this episode ends, the battle in this world will completely erupt. Fang Ming can see the plot of the second episode in advance, so he can know in advance whether Xiao Qiu and the others can resolve this matter safely.
However, Fang Ming could only watch.
Even if Tsukinomiya Yuki were to go all out, she would only be Upper Rank official, and Upper Rank on the Demons side at that, and would be powerless to resist Pillar Rank enemy.
Furthermore, Fang Ming had to avoid doing anything contrary to the original 'history' and prevent the world from being reset, so he couldn't even unleash his original strength.
He could only watch, as an observer, watching the Magical Girls' actions, watching Tsukinomiya Yuki's actions, and trying to find a way to save the real world.
And that might be the reason why Xiao Qiu sent him here.
Volume 6 <Magic Autumn> Season 4: Chapter 608 The Battle After Episode 1
When the first episode ended, time resumed its normal flow around Fang Ming.
The cracks stretching across the sky are like wounds in the heavens, a shocking sight.
The oppressive feeling emanating from above made Fang Ming and the others unable to straighten their backs. Under this immense pressure, even taking a single step seemed extremely difficult.
"Xiao Xue!"
After regaining consciousness, Tsukinomiya Ayaka immediately ran over and hugged Fang Ming, shielding him with her body.
With Tsukinomiya Ayaka sharing some of the pressure, Fang Ming immediately felt much more relaxed. However, seeing Ayaka's less-than-pleasant Ayaka, Fang Ming involuntarily broke free from Ayaka embrace.
"Sister, I can do it myself."
It wasn't that Tsukinomiya Yuki's body acted on its own; it was Fang Ming who said it.
Although it was a little embarrassing to call a girl so much younger than himself "older sister" while he still had his memories, at this moment, Ayaka was indeed fulfilling her responsibilities as an older sister in front of Tsukinomiya Yuki, so it wasn't a big deal for Fang Ming to call her that.
But Ayaka stubbornly held Fang Ming in her arms, preventing him from moving. She looked up at the crack in the sky and murmured to herself:
"What... what exactly is going on?"
"It's Pillar-Tier Demon." Aurora's voice came from behind. Compared to Ayaka, who was almost crushed to the ground by the immense pressure and couldn't get up, Aurora seemed to have no problem moving around.
She walked to Ayaka's side, placed her hand on Ayaka's body, and a red magical light flashed. The pressure on Ayaka and Fang Ming was neutralized by Aurora's magic.
After doing all this, Aurora walked to the window, looked at the crack in the sky, and said in a deep voice:
"Pillar-Tier Demon... has arrived!"
"Pillar Rank..."
Ayaka's eyes widened.
The hierarchy between Lower Rank, Middle Rank, and Upper Rank, the pillars of power, and the levels of magic power are strictly defined, making it almost impossible to cross over.
Not to mention that the group of Ayaka currently only possesses Lower Rank magic power, with only Aurora barely possessing Upper Rank combat strength.
Whether they are Lower Rank or Upper Rank, they are nothing more than ants that can be easily crushed when facing Pillar Rank. They are completely helpless against the cracks that appear in the sky.
"Don't worry, someone will handle it."
Aurora said to Ayaka.
She had barely finished speaking when three beams of light shot out from various parts of the city and flew together toward the crack in the sky.
The pink, blue, and green rays of light allowed Aurora to easily identify who each ray represented.
Ayaka also saw the three beams of light, and she subconsciously asked Aurora:
"They... are the Magical Girls of Spring City?"
"Yes, they are your Magical Girls seniors, and also the last people in this world who might be able to resist the Pillar Rank. If even they can't do it... no, they definitely can!"
At this moment, what Aurora and the others need to do is trust these Magical Girls who are capable of fighting against Pillar Rank opponents, and not have any doubts in their hearts.
The source of Magical Girls' power is, fundamentally, somewhat idealistic. Perhaps their unwavering faith at this moment can transform into magic to support those Magical Girls in the sky.
"Are we... just going to watch like this?"
Ayaka asked, somewhat unwillingly.
While their seniors were fighting, they could only watch from the outside, unable to do anything. This feeling of helplessness was truly unbearable.
But upon hearing Ayaka's question, Aurora turned and smiled, saying to Ayaka:
"What are you saying? Our battle has only just begun."
"Huh?"
See for yourself.
Aurora stretched out her hand and pointed into the city.
The invasion of the world by Pillar-Tier Demon brings not only oppression to Magical Girls, but also a massive amount of negative magic!
These negative magical forces are currently gathering within the city, and in a short period of time, they have hatched several Nightmare Seed!
And it's not just in Spring City; in other parts of the world, wherever the aura of Pillar-Tier Demon is sensed, Nightmare Seed are slowly being born.
Although these Nightmare Seed are born are only of Lower Rank, and some are not even of Lower Rank, they are still extraordinary beings nonetheless.
If left unchecked, they will have a tremendous impact on the human world.
So--
"They go fight the boss, we clear out the mobs, it's that simple."
Aurora smiled at Ayaka.
General against general, king against king, that's roughly it.
Their battle has only just begun.
Aurora, Ayaka, and several other Magical Girls from the Eastern Ocean District went to clear out the smaller monsters.
But Fang Ming was left in the room.
Even though he could transform into Magical Girls, Ayaka and Aurora didn't dare let Fang Ming go out to fight.
'If we let you go out, you might cause trouble again, so leave these things to us. You are not allowed to act on your own...' These were the words Aurora said before leaving.
Fang Ming was speechless.
Fang Ming himself was a very reckless person, Tsukinomiya Yuki in the Sky Screen was even more reckless. Therefore, Fang Ming was completely unable to refute what Aurora said.
But if he just stayed here obediently, he wouldn't be Fang Ming.
"Speaking of which, Tsukinomiya Yuki also wanted to go out. Well, it was Tsukinomiya Yuki who was in charge, not me, so there's no problem with me sneaking out!"
Fang Ming convinced himself, and in an instant transformed into Xiao Bai and flew out of the window.
Although his plan was to transform into Magical Girls and clear out the monsters in the city, the fact that he couldn't use his own powers still made Fang Ming feel a little uncomfortable.
