Chapter 579

Hotaru can reliably maintain Commander Rank strength without activating her Shining Form. If she could meet Xiao Qiu and wait for Xiao Qiu to unlock the door to Shining Form, everyone could then activate their Shining Form.

With Ying's talent, she might also be able to unlock the Shining Form.

By then... she might actually be able to rival the Demon Lord.

But unfortunately...

When the topic of the Magical Girls from the past came up, everyone fell silent for a moment, but Xiao Qiu quickly changed the subject and asked:

"Even Pillar-Tier Demon can be replaced?"

"Ah, right, weren't Pillar-Tier Demon supposed to be immortal?"

Xiaoxia realized what was happening and asked in confusion.

"The Pillar Rank are indeed immortal, but... if Demons with a similar concept becomes Pillar Rank being, it will trigger a 'Devouring Deathmatch'."

"For example, the Pillar-Tier Demon before the Desire Demon was the 'Lust' Demons. After the Desire Demon advanced to the Pillar Rank, it triggered the Devouring Deathmatch, and the Lust Demon was devoured by the Desire Demon."

"Does that Lust Demon still exist?" Xiao Qiu asked again.

Kelly nodded, then shook her head. "The Lust Demon will still exist in the future, but the Lust Demon that are born again will no longer be the same consciousness as before."

"And even if Pillar-Tier Demon dies, it will retain its previous memories and consciousness upon Resurrection. This is the key to what makes Pillar-Tier Demon."

Volume 6 <Magic Autumn> Season 4: Chapter 619 I Saw My Brother

Pillar-Tier Demon are called pillars because no matter how many times they die, they can retain their consciousness and Resurrection.

And once again, he led the Demons to battle against the Magical Girls.

However, since the Pillar-Tier Demon are immortal, the Magical Girls actually have a general record of most of their abilities.

Although not as many as those on the Sky Screen, they are still enough to let Magical Girls know how to deal with the corresponding Demons.

However, even Pillar-Tier Demon are not absolutely 'immortal'.

For over a thousand years since the birth of the Demons, many Demon Society possessed Pillar Rank magical power. However, since the Pillar Rank positions have been completely filled, the birth of each new Pillar Rank -Pillar Rank demon represents the death of an old one.

For example, the Calamity Demon was absorbed by Fang Ming, and the Lust Demon was absorbed by the Desire Demon.

This is known among Demons as the 'Devouring Deathmatch,' where the winning Demon Society gains a portion of the abilities and magic of the conquered being.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Pillar-Tier Demon are getting stronger and stronger.

"But this Desire Demon is clearly not very strong..."

Aurora couldn't help but sigh.

Kelly said, "Actually... it's also because Xiaoxia activated Shining 2, plus... there's a part of Xiao Bai's consciousness deep within her. Otherwise, Xiaoxia might not have been able to wake up so quickly."

Strength and weakness are relative. Judging from the performance of the Desire Demon in the Sky Screen, she does seem to be very weak.

But for the Magical Girls of the past, the Desire Demon was actually the most difficult opponent.

Because there are never any saints in this world who are without desires, and once the Desire Demon's heart, then the fall of the Magical Girls becomes inevitable.

Almost all the Magical Girls who fought against the Desire Demon in the past became addicted to their Desire and ultimately met their demise.

If Chen Xiaoxia hadn't had Xiao Bai's help, and if she hadn't been Magical Girls had awakened her Shining Form, then in that world of Desire, no matter what choices she made, no matter whether she was conscious or not, she would have succumbed to her own Desire.

Until they drowned.

In other words... the Desire Demon chose the wrong opponent.

Xiaoxia dealt with the Desire Demon, but Yu Muqiu and the others did not relax at all.

After the Desire Demon disappeared, Xiao Chun's eyes rolled back and she fainted. Xiao Qiu went to check on her and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, Xiao Chun just fell asleep."

"Don't let your guard down, Xiao Qiu, don't forget there's still a Pillar-Tier Demon!"

Chen Xiaoxia reminded her.

Yu Muqiu nodded. "I know... but... that Demons... doesn't seem to be here?"

She turned her head and looked around.

Even though the Desire Demon has already been eliminated, the remaining Demons, whether it's Desire Demon revenge or trying to relay the news of the Magical Girls here to the Demons faction, should take some action.

But now Yu Muqiu and the others can't find any trace of the second Demons.

What exactly is this?

"Xiao Qiu! Xiaoxia! Xiao Chun!! Come back quickly!! Dongdong is in trouble!!!"

While Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia were both puzzled, they heard Youyou's anxious voice.

In that instant, Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia simultaneously guessed the whereabouts of the remaining Demons.

The remaining Demons... has already entered their world!

"Ah... should I go too?"

Time around Fang Ming resumed its flow as Xiao Qiu and the others began to act.

He paused briefly, then completely surrendered control of his body to Tsukinomiya Yuki.

As for Tsukinomiya Yuki, following the 'historical process,' she glanced at Dongdong in a panic before turning and leaving.

It was only after Tsukinomiya Yuki left that Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia arrived at the scene.

The images on the Sky Screen change in sync.

After settling Xiao Chun in, Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia went to Song Niandong's side, who was in a coma.

Youyou was also rushing over, but because she had stayed home to look after the house, she was a little slow in getting there. Youyou arrived late, after Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia had already arrived.

"Dongdong!"

Seeing Song Niandong lying unconscious on the ground, Youyou went over and called out anxiously.

Chen Xiaoxia, holding a greatsword, warily looked around, and finally frowned and said:

"There was absolutely no magical reaction from the Demons... Youyou, who was Dongdong fighting just now?"

"I don't know..." Youyou shook her head, but quickly added, "Although I don't know, I'm certain that the Demons Youyou were fighting was extremely powerful! The barrier he set up completely covered Dongdong's Magic Barrier, which is why I asked you for help!"

When Song Niandong and Youyou parted ways, Song Niandong also established a magical connection with Youyou.

The two can actually talk at any time.

But when the Sloth Demon descended, Youyou and Song Niandong's conversation was Severing cut off.

Youyou to sense Song Niandong's presence, Youyou sought help from Xiao Qiu and the others who had just finished their battle.

"Is it... another Pillar Rank Demons?" Yu Muqiu asked worriedly, "But why did he leave?"

"No, maybe they didn't leave."

Chen Xiaoxia looked around again. The year-long training in criminal investigation had made her see signs of disharmony in her surroundings.

She said, "There were other people here before, perhaps... that person lured away the Pillar Rank Demons."

"Are they other Magical Girls? Oh no, then aren't they in danger?!"

Yu Muqiu immediately thought of the Magical Girls who had come to Spring City with Aurora.

If anyone could lure away the Pillar Rank Demons, it would only be Aurora and her friends, who are also Magical Girls!

Neither Xiao Qiu nor Xiaoxia considered the fact that the 'Pillar-Tier Demon had been eliminated'.

After all, in this world, everyone who can fight against Pillar-Tier Demon is here.

The other Magical Girls simply did not have the power to eliminate Pillar-Tier Demon.

Even a Xiao Bai.

In Yu Muqiu's view, Xiao Bai, Resurrection, was probably not even as strong as Aurora, and she had no chance of killing Pillar-Tier Demon.

That's what Yu Muqiu was thinking, and just as Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia were making wild guesses...

Song Niandong opened her eyes.

"Elder brother!!!"

As soon as she opened her eyes, she called out loudly.

This call drew the attention of Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia to her.

"Dongdong, are you alright?" Chen Xiaoxia immediately stepped forward, picked up Dongdong, and asked.

Song Niandong didn't answer; instead, she grabbed Chen Xiaoxia's arm, extremely anxious.

"Xiaoxia- neechan! It's my brother! It's... it's my brother in his Magical Girl Form! Even though... even though she's shrunk, I can recognize her! It's definitely her!!"

"Ah?"

Chen Xiaoxia was immediately stunned.

She turned to look at Xiao Qiu beside her, her eyes filled with confusion.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoxia was a little worried that Dongdong might have injured his head from the fight earlier, after all...

How can the dead come back to life?

(Haha, Xiaoxia looked completely bewildered.)

(If it were you, you'd be just as bewildered, since apart from Xiao Qiu and Dongdong, none of the Magical Girls in the Central Continent District had ever seen their cousin Resurrection.)

(Dongdong is really convinced of what she saw. I thought she would think she was dreaming and forget about it.)

(Now that the two Pillar Rank Demons have been dealt with, the next scene will be the meeting between Xiao Qiu and the others and Xiao Xue, right? I can't wait!)

(I wonder what would happen if Xiao Chun saw Fang Ming after he shrunk www)

(She'd probably go completely insane www)

"..."

Fang Ming was speechless upon seeing this.

Xiao Chun inside the Sky Screen seems normal, but in the end, Xiao Chun's nature is actually quite the same both inside and outside the Sky Screen.

The only difference is that Xiao Chun in the Sky Screen has never been poisoned by 'doujinshi'.

Even so, given Xiao Chun's love for Fang Ming, if she were to see Fang Ming after he shrunk... it's foreseeable that Tsukinomiya Yuki's days ahead would be very 'Pain'.

"Huh? Why did it get dark?"

Fang Ming originally planned to see what Xiaoxia and Xiao Qiu would do next.

But when I looked at the light screen again, I found that it had gone dark.

The third episode isn't even over yet...

"Oh... could it be... that I'm using dynamic playback?"

Fang Ming suddenly had a guess.

Perhaps after he enters this world, the playback progress on the Sky Screen around him will no longer be synchronized with the outside world.

Take this two-episode back-to-back broadcast, for example.

Even though a day had passed outside, in Fang Ming's perception, the second and third episodes were playing back-to-back.

And the same is true now.

The third episode should still be playing outside, but here... because Fang Ming himself hadn't personally experienced the upcoming plot, the rest of the third episode was completely obscured from his view.

It's estimated that those scenes will only appear before Fang Ming's eyes once he has fully experienced the content of the second half of the third episode.

"Tsk, this is a mess... a real pain..."

Fang Ming scratched his head, slightly annoyed.

Being suddenly interrupted halfway through watching a show is something that would annoy anyone.

However, Fang Ming's displeasure did not last long.

His situation is indeed quite unique, and I can understand that.

On the bright side, at least the light barrier didn't stop just as Xiaoxia was about to unleash her power and eliminate the Desire Demon.

If that's the case, Fang Ming will probably be really angry.

"... Now, shouldn't we go back?"
