Chapter 610
The torture instruments of the Pain Demon were shot down one after another, while the number of weapons behind Xiao Bai increased.
Pfft
The moment the Pain Demon revealed an opening, the sharp blade pierced through Pain Demon body.
Then more weapons flew in one after another, landing on the Pain Demon and turning her body into a special 'weapon rack'.
However, faced with this offensive, and the power of the Disaster and Sloth Demon of equal rank, the Pain Demon became even more excited:
"Yes! Yes!! That's it... that's it...! More... give me more Pain! Make me feel... more Pain!!!"
The magic surged and boiled. Despite being severely injured, the Pain Demon's strength did not decrease due to the penetration of his body. On the contrary, the more Pain he endured, the more powerful his magic became.
The Pain Demon is Demons born from suffering and pain.
Inflicting Pain will increase her strength, but correspondingly, making her feel Pain will also cause her magical power to rise continuously!
"Damn it...! This is so troublesome!"
Xiao Bai also noticed this, and she cursed inwardly, "... It's the type that can temporarily grow!"
The key to the Pain Demon's ability to remain standing among the Twelve Pillars lies in the fact that once a prolonged battle is waged against her, the Pain Demon's power increases without limit.
As long as it cannot be killed instantly, the Pain threshold that the opponent can endure will increase. The outward manifestation of this is that the same move, or even the same type of attack, will gradually become ineffective against the Pain Demon!
Xiao Bai had already discovered this. The wounds he had inflicted when he pierced the opponent's body with his weapon had not only healed, but he could no longer effectively damage the Pain Demon when attacking with the same type of weapon.
On the other hand, the Pain Demon's magical power was further enhanced by Xiao Bai's attack.
If her strength was slightly inferior to Xiao Bai's at the beginning, then now the Pain Demon's strength is comparable to Xiao Bai's... or even surpasses it!
"Why stop? Keep going! Keep making me Pain... make me endure even more!!!"
Just as Xiao Bai's offensive paused, a disgruntled shout came from the Pain Demon's side.
Instead of pulling out the weapons that Xiao Bai had inserted into her body, she grabbed them and twirled them around, drawing out more flesh and blood.
The pain intoxicated her; her expression had become extremely grim. She cupped her nearly torn cheek in her hands and said to Xiao Bai:
"... Or... are you no longer able to do it? In that case... then... it's my turn!"
Buzz--!
A dull hum echoed through the sky as a massive bronze bull crashed down, hurtling towards Xiao Bai.
The bronze bull was enormous, almost completely covering the sky within the Nightmare Barrier.
As the bronze bull approached Xiao Bai, it opened its enormous mouth as if to swallow Xiao Bai whole and lunged at it.
Magic: The Torture of the Bronze Bull!
"Don't even think about it!!!"
Just as Xiao Bai was pondering how to deal with the enormous bronze bull, a sharp shout came from behind him from the green-haired girl.
Several green lights Shine in the sky, and those streaks of light, like shooting stars, converged and merged in mid-air, finally condensing into an Arrows that could almost pierce through the entire sky!
The Arrows approached from afar, arriving almost instantly, piercing the bronze bull's brow and piercing its body in the blink of an eye!
"Miss Murong!?"
Xiao Bai looked behind him in surprise.
That Arrows that pierced the heavens and the earth just now was undoubtedly Murong Xiaochun's doing.
She had thought that Xiao Chun was no longer able to fight, but to her surprise, Xiao Chun rallied and joined the battle shortly afterward.
"Call me Xiao Chun!" Xiao Chun quickly approached Xiao Bai and transmitted her Telepathy, "This girl is troublesome. We can't get into a prolonged battle with her, otherwise she'll get stronger and stronger. If we want to defeat her, we have to deliver a fatal blow at the crucial moment!"
Xiao Chun, who was initially able to hold her own against the Pain Demon, found herself in a life-or-death situation when Xiao Bai arrived. Clearly, Xiao Chun had personally experienced the troublesome nature of the Pain Demon.
That's why Xiao Chun was able to guess how to deal with the other party at this moment.
Without letting Xiao Bai speak, Xiao Chun immediately said to Xiao Bai after finishing her sentence:
"Xiao Bai, I need you to hold her off for a while, without increasing her overall strength as much as possible. I... will prepare my strongest attack, one that must kill her in one blow. Only then will we have any hope of victory!"
Xiao Chun speaks very quickly, and her eyes show no sign of confusion when she explains her plans.
This is her normal, rational self.
Xiaobai took a deep look at Xiao Chun now, Xiao Bai, turned her head to face the Pain Demon again, and said to Xiao Chun:
"I understand. Go do what you need to do, Xiao Chun. Leave this to me!"
"... Okay! Please!"
This time, Xiao Chun was not distracted by Xiao Bai's performance. She immediately responded, turned around, and left, disappearing into the void.
"Oh dear? Did your companion run away?"
Seeing Xiao Chun suddenly appear and then disappear, the Pain Demon mocked Xiao Bai, "It's quite rare to see Magical Girls run away."
"..."
Xiao Bai didn't answer.
She simply used the power of the Weapon Demon to create more chains, imbued them with the full power of the Sloth Demon, and commanded those chains to fly towards the Pain Demon.
Any damage inflicted on the Pain Demon may allow the opponent to increase their own strength.
In that case, we should try our best not to harm the Pain Demon!
And Xiao Bai's most proficient magic is Chain Magic!
Even though she's currently in her Demon Form and can't use the Magical Girls powers, she can still use the Weapon Demon's abilities to simulate what she's best at!
"Chains... ah... chains won't do... they won't do..."
Upon seeing the chains flying towards him, the Pain Demon revealed a deep disgust.
She enjoys Pain, but hates being restrained.
The reason, of course, is that once she's bound, she can no longer inflict Pain.
She couldn't bring Pain others or herself.
That's why she hates it.
To prevent the dreaded chains from getting closer, the Pain Demon simply cast the Iron Maiden, trapping himself within the massive Iron Maiden to resist the chains' entanglement.
The Pain Demon disappeared into the Iron Maiden, but Xiao Bai never stopped his attack.
She had already closed her eyes at this moment, using her magic to sense the location of the Nightmare Seed the Pain Demon.
The chains aimed at the target, ignoring anything superfluous, and firmly bound the Iron Maiden where the Pain Demon was located!
One layer after another.
Layer upon layer of silver chains enveloped the direction where the Pain Demon was located, leaving only one opening that could be pierced by Arrows, pointing directly at the Pain Demon's Nightmare Seed!
Just as Xiao Bai was ready, she heard Xiao Chun's voice in her ear:
"Xiao Bai!!"
Xiao Bai suddenly opened her eyes, using all her magic to trap the Pain Demon at the very center, and shouted to Xiao Chun:
"Now--!"
Call out--!
As their voices overlapped, the green Arrows instantly traversed countless distances and struck the Iron Maiden outside the Pain Demon!
And after a brief pause, it pierced through the entire Pain Demon!
Along with her Nightmare Seed!
Volume 6 <Magic Autumn> Season 4: Chapter 652 Xiao Qiu VS War Demon
The Arrows pierced through the Pain Demon's body, and also through the Nightmare Core.
The sound of the Nightmare Seed shattering rang crisply in the ears of the Pain Demon.
Nestled within the Iron Maiden, she couldn't help but look down at her own chest.
She saw the wound on his chest, and she saw her own body beginning to dissipate.
"Ouch... it hurts... but... it feels so good...! I've never felt this kind of Pain before..."
Even on the verge of death, the Pain Demon was deeply experiencing the pain he had inflicted upon himself.
She looked up at the Magical Girls in the distance, then at the silver-haired girl standing in front of her, and the Shining Magical Girls who had pierced through her body and taken her life. She gently raised her hand towards them.
"!"
The Pain Demon's actions startled both Xiao Bai and Xiao Chun, who simultaneously assumed a defensive posture. However, they then realized that the Pain Demon was merely pointing a finger at them.
"Not bad... technique, Magical Girls..." The Pain Demon's tone suddenly lost its usual madness, and she genuinely praised the Magical Girls:
"... It's been so long... so long since Magical Girls has caused me this much Pain... If... it were you... if it were you... perhaps..."
The Demons's gaze fell on Xiao Bai, and her vision suddenly blurred, as if a phantom image of someone had appeared in front of her.
That was the figure of the Demon King.
But... it wasn't the figure of this generation's Demon King.
No one knows, or rather, apart from the First-Generation Magical Girls and the original nine pillars, that there was a Demon King before the current Demon King appeared.
That was the Demon King who appeared alongside the First-Generation Magical Girls. He possessed immense power and an unparalleled spirit. Leading the initial Pillar-Tier Demon and leaders, he intended to completely annihilate the existence of Magical Girls and make the power that Demons despised disappear from this world forever.
Unfortunately, the First-Generation Demon King was born far too late...
No, it should be said that he was hindered from becoming the Demon King by those unwanted emotional impurities, which resulted in his power being insufficient to contend with the Magical Girls had awakened her Final Form when he finally awakened.
The Pain Demon... likes this kind of Demon King...
Yes, I like it.
It's hard to imagine that among Demons composed entirely of negative energy, there could be Demons could generate positive emotions.
But in reality, Demons are also a type of living being; those Demons that were first created...
They are all beings transformed from humans.
Therefore, they retain human emotions, and naturally, their own emotions will arise.
That's what the Pain Demon is like.
In addition, the War Demon is also Aging... as are the other 'former pillars' who have now become Commander Rank.
It was these emotions that made them powerful, but perhaps it was also because of these emotions that they ultimately lost to the first generation of Magical Girls.
"However... I won't give up so easily..."
The Pain Demon's face, which looked as if it had been slashed open by a sharp blade, stretched into an even wider smile. She looked at the two Magical Girls opposite her, especially Xiao Bai, and said to her:
"If... you can truly become him... then accept my final 'gift'!"
"!!!"
When they heard the Pain Demon say those words, both Xiao Bai and Xiao Chun sensed something was wrong.
Without any hesitation, the two simultaneously cast protective spells in front of them, layer upon layer of magical shields enveloping them.
After the two were ready, the Pain Demon's body suddenly exploded!
A dazzling light burst forth, as bright as a star exploding, filling the entire Nightmare Barrier.
The magic began to surge violently, and the matter in the void began to collide with each other, causing even more violent explosions.
The incredibly powerful explosion unsurprisingly engulfed the two Magical Girls and destroyed the entire Nightmare Barrier.
The light gradually filled the screen, and the sound suddenly disappeared.
The entire world was enveloped in pure white and silence.
Within this pure white and silent space, the scene suddenly darkens, and the perspective shifts to Yu Muqiu's battlefield.
(Self-destruction?! A self-destruction with such power?!)
(After all, it was Pillar Rank Demons self-destructing, and her strength seemed to be much greater than that of the Destruction Demon...)
(What do those memories of the Pain Demon mean? I think I saw a few human-like figures flash through her memories...)
(Could it be that... these original Pillar-Tier Demon were actually human in their true forms??)
(No... that can't be... it's not like those guys from the Aurora Society...)
