Chapter 621
Yu Muqiu's situation is much better.
Over the past year, Yu Muqiu has copied Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun's magic. So just now, she not only used Xiaoxia's magic to strengthen her own defense, but also used Xiao Chun's magic to continuously Healing the three of them.
In addition, she was very close to Xiao Bai, and Xiao Bai protected her at the last moment, so Yu Muqiu suffered the least injury among the three.
Xiao Bai is similar to her.
The power of the Shining Light is primarily aimed at Demons; its effectiveness is diminished when it comes to Magical Girls who hold onto hope and ordinary people.
So unless Xiao Bai takes the hit head-on in her Demon Form, her situation will at most be the same as Chen Xiaoxia's.
It's not like the Aging Demon, who was completely wiped out.
Overall, the three Magical Girls' attack was a win.
The three were at most seriously injured, while the Aging Demon was completely annihilated by the three.
"This is really..."
The War Demon, who had also been hit by the self-destruct attack, looked rather disheveled at the Magical Girls.
Even though she was a top-tier Demons among Pillar Rank, she still suffered some injuries when struck head-on by this attack filled with the Power of Hope Shine hope.
Her own War Machine had been completely purified by that attack, and even the War Demon herself, whose pure white, dress-like attire was mostly damaged, and whose body was burned by the Power of Hope.
The combined Power of Hope from the three Shining Form Magical Girls was so great that even Pillar Rank Demons couldn't withstand it.
The remaining Power of Hope within her body was constantly purifying the War Demon's body, preventing her from immediately recovering from her injuries.
Let's go see the Magical Girls again.
Apart from Chen Xiaoxia, who remains unconscious, Yu Muqiu and Xiao Bai are in relatively good condition.
With a flicker of his eyes, the War Demon gave Xiao Bai one last deep look before turning and leaving!
"... Don't run away!"
Just as Xiao Bai caught his breath, he saw the War Demon about to flee.
She quickly stepped forward and created chains in an attempt to keep the War Demon in place.
However, after flying only a short distance, she had to stop and cover the spot where the Emotion Seed were located.
That attack just now was powerful, but it was a move that hurt the enemy a thousand while also hurting yourself eight hundred.
Xiao Bai's magic power is almost depleted, and coupled with the self-destruction attack she endured, she no longer has the strength to chase after them.
In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the War Demon escaped.
"Xiao Bai! Don't chase after it!" Yu Muqiu flew over carrying Xiaoxia on her back. She came to Xiao Bai's side and advised her:
"We're not in good shape right now. Even if we catch up... we won't be able to stop her. So, let's go back first."
Yu Muqiu is right.
The three of them are now almost out of magic power, and even if they manage to fight the War Demon, they probably won't be able to defeat him.
It's even possible that the other side will see through our true intentions.
So now that the War Demon have been scared away by them, it's actually a good thing for the Magical Girls; they don't need to chase after them relentlessly.
"I know, but..." Xiao Bai's expression turned terrifying.
Now that the War Demon has fled, if she were to return, she would definitely bring Pillar Rank and Commander Rank Demons with her!
At that point... that will be the real final battle!
But the Magical Girls haven't reached their full potential yet! That's what Xiao Bai is worried about!
Volume 6 <Magic Autumn> Season 4: Chapter 664 Post-War Discussion
(Xiaoxia's self-destruction... was really powerful...)
(Xiao Qiu and Xiao Bai were able to decide to self-destruct with Xiaoxia in an instant... their teamwork and determination are truly remarkable.)
(The War Demon was scared away www)
(Running away is not a good thing...)
(Yeah, don't forget there are five more Pillar Rank beings besides the War Demon! If you include the War Demon, that makes six!)
(Don't worry, the fact that only four people came looking for us this time shows that without the Demon King and the Four Commanders, the Twelve Pillars are all fighting their own battles, so... probably... they won't come looking for us all at once, right?)
(Definitely not, if they would, they would have come together already!)
(So Xiao Qiu and the others still have a lot of time.)
(But Xiao Qiu and the others didn't know that www)
That's right, unlike the Magical Girls below the Sky Screen who already knew what Lesos had done, the Magical Girls inside the Sky Screen only knew that Lesos disappeared after fighting them with her clones.
What Lesos did, and whether she would return, were questions the Magical Girls in the Sky Screen didn't know.
Therefore, Xiao Qiu and the others in the Sky Screen were also on high alert, filled with a sense of urgency, and wanted to improve their strength as soon as possible.
However, this is not a bad thing.
Fang Ming knew very well that after this, before he left that world of 'historical process', everyone would have at least six months of rest.
If the Magical Girls can make the most of this downtime, their strength can be increased to another level!
At least when facing Pillar Rank opponents, we won't be as humiliated as we were today.
Furthermore, Tsukinomiya Yuki in the Sky Screen also gave special training to the Magical Girls in the Eastern Ocean District after that.
By the time Fang Ming left, the Magical Girls in the Eastern Ocean District had nearly reached the Upper Rank in terms of magical power. As long as they could activate their Shining Form, they would be able to successfully advance to the Upper Rank.
Even... reaching the Pillar Rank is not impossible.
But the more this was the case, the more worried Fang Ming became.
The Magical Girls' strength is increasing rapidly, which is a good thing. However, the faster they increase their strength, the more dangerous the enemies they will face in the Sky Screen.
Thinking back on the various Suggestion in the fourth season's opening sequence, Fang Ming had a very bad feeling.
Perhaps this final battle will truly... result in the sacrifice of many...
[The War Demon escaped, and the Magical Girls, in their weakened state, couldn't possibly catch up.]
They returned home to recuperate, and it was a week later that everyone's injuries had almost healed.
"... Demons, Magical Girls, appearing before the public for the first time... I wonder what you, Chairman, would like to say?"
"What I want to say is that no matter how many of those despicable Demons there are, or how powerful they are, our Federation will fight them to the very end!"
"However, I still want to say to all the Magical Girls fighting on the front lines, the Federation hopes to cooperate with you and fight against the Demons together! So--"
The sound from the television did not continue.
In the living room, Stella, holding the remote control, turned off the TV, rubbed her temples, and said to the Magical Girls around her:
"As you can see, Magical Girls can no longer hide their existence."
"Is there nothing Miss Stella can do?"
Xiao Qiu asked with concern.
Stella shook her head. "It won't work. Unlike last time, this time the Demons who came have caused a bigger commotion. The Federation can no longer suppress the news, so they have no choice but to release what they know."
"The Aurora Society, which I control, is also one of them."
Stella paused here, glanced around at the Magical Girls, and said softly, "Actually, it wouldn't be impossible to completely suppress the news through forceful means, but the more we conceal it from the public, the more likely they are to develop negative emotions in their hearts."
"As you all know, the Hope Magic Array that now covers the entire globe primarily functions to gather the Power of Hope, which is the fundamental reason why you can quickly enhance your own power."
"If... the Power of Hope diminishes and the Despair Power increases, it won't be a good thing for anyone."
After Stella finished speaking, Xiao Chun nodded in understanding:
"That's why Miss Stella took the initiative to guide the public and let everyone know about the existence of Magical Girls."
"That's right. Promoting the existence of Magical Girls gives everyone hope, so even if the Demon King arrives, we... should have a better chance of winning."
But it only gives them a slightly better chance of winning.
After Stella finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
A short while later, Aurora looked up at the Magical Girls of the Central Continent District: "The War Demon has escaped. Can you be sure how long it will take for her to return with Demons reinforcements?"
"Uncertain." Yu Muqiu shook his head slightly. "... Before the War Demon arrived, we didn't know they would come, and it's the same now..."
Xiao Chun calmly said, "Maybe it will be a long time from now, maybe it will be tomorrow. None of us know."
The Magical Girls 'juniors,' led by Aurora, didn't have very pleasant expressions either.
Aurora said gravely, "So we're just going to sit here and do nothing?"
The looming shadow of war hangs over every Magical Girls.
Seeing the atmosphere among the Magical Girls growing increasingly tense, Stella hesitated for a long time before finally speaking:
There's something... I think I should tell you.
"What is it?" Aurora asked, turning her head.
Stella hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister Lesos... she mentioned to me before that if... she doesn't come for a long time, and I can't contact her, then she's probably going to hold back the Demon King and the Overlord Demons."
"If that's the case, then we should only be facing a maximum of six Pillar-Tier Demon next."
"Is that so?!" The Magical Girls looked at Stella in surprise.
Stella replied, "I'm not sure either. I just know that Sister Lesos hasn't contacted me in a long time."
As the only Witch among the Magical Girls, Stella is actually quite wary of the Magical Girls other than Xiao Qiu and Xiao Bai.
Therefore, she never dared to mention to anyone that she couldn't contact Lesos.
After all, if the Magical Girls really wanted to do something to Stella, then with Lesos as her backer and protector, Stella would be somewhat safer.
Of course, during her time with the Magical Girls, Stella had a clear understanding of their Magical Girls and had therefore long since let her guard down.
But at this time, it was even less appropriate for Stella to bring up Lesos.
Because Lesos had a falling out with the Magical Girls, and Stella herself wasn't sure if Lesos was telling the truth, she never mentioned it to the Magical Girls.
But things are different now.
Everyone is currently filled with worry about whether the Demons will arrive, and it's not good for the Magical Girls to keep carrying these heavy thoughts in their hearts.
So even if Stella wasn't entirely sure about the news, she should still share it now.
At least this way... everyone can feel a little more at ease.
The Magical Girls of the Eastern Ocean District, unaware of Lesos's situation, exchanged bewildered glances.
The Magical Girls from the Central Continent District who knew who Lesos was, and Aurora exchanged a glance.
None of them questioned Stella; instead, they went along with what Stella was saying.
Xiao Qiu smiled and said, "Isn't that a good thing? If the Commander Rank and Demon King don't exist, then we only need to prepare to deal with six Pillar-Tier Demons. For this, we should Lesos Senior Lesos properly."
Stella was deeply touched that Xiao Qiu didn't suspect Lesos.
Stella wore a faint smile; perhaps this was why she was willing to help these Magical Girls.
They truly do not discriminate against themselves as Witch, nor do they harbor hostility towards Lesos, who was once their enemy.
Stella was already quite content with just that.
"Then let's settle on that." Xiao Chun suddenly stood up and summarized. "For now, let's focus on dealing with six Pillar-Tier Demons. Everyone, let's begin further training."
"Aurora, Luna, and everyone from the Eastern Ocean District, I know you may not be as powerful as the Pillar Rank cultivators, but I still hope you can train with us."
"On the day of the final battle, perhaps every bit of magic power you've cultivated through daily training will become our chance to turn the tide of the battle!"
At this point, Xiao Chun bowed to the Magical Girls from the Eastern Ocean District.
Kazama Reiko, who hadn't said much throughout, quickly raised her hand and said upon seeing this:
"Senior Murong, there's no need for that. Even if you hadn't said anything, we would definitely have gone to train, right, Shiori?"
"Yes, yes, seniors, although we became Magical Girls in a very short time and didn't really make up our minds... but... but we don't want to just watch this world be destroyed by Demons!"
Shiori nodded repeatedly, echoing her sentiments.
Kazama Reiko added, "Yes, so all we need to do is tell us what to do and what to do. As long as we can do it, we will definitely... we will definitely not back down!"
The Magical Girls in the Eastern Ocean District haven't been Magical Girls for very long, unlike Xiao Qiu and the others.
