Chapter 173 Human Favor
A black figure fell straight down from the sky.
Like withered branches and fallen leaves.
Just as she was about to collapse to the ground, another witch in a deep purple dress appeared from the side. She gently embraced the Raven Witch and teased her:
"Pfft, if they hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you, Raven Sister, had such an interesting past. Snake Witch, her name, like her identity, is full of mystery and danger."
She wore a tight-fitting, deep purple dress, the hem swaying gently in the wind, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to launch a deadly attack at any moment.
Her long, silvery-white hair fluttered in the wind, obscuring half her face, revealing only a pair of cold and cunning eyes that seemed to see through all the secrets of people's hearts.
She turned her head, looking at the magicians and witches in the scene, somewhat surprised, "Um... there seem to be quite a lot of people here!"
"Sorry, sorry! You guys go ahead and fight, I won't bother you anymore."
The witch greeted everyone familiarly, but when she saw Kikyo, the sorceress beside her, she spoke with a slightly sarcastic tone: "Kikyo, you'd better be careful, don't hurt yourself anywhere."
"Otherwise, I'll be very sad then~"
Before anyone could respond, she and the Raven Witch vanished.
"I'm going to go after her!"
The woman in black seemed somewhat unwilling. She glanced at the magician Kikyo with a strange expression and chased after the direction in which the snake witch had disappeared.
Kikyo, the sorceress, stood by and watched the entire farce of the Villainess Association without uttering a word.
He silently recovered his strength.
Only when the snake demon uttered those words did a few ripples appear in her indifferent eyes, which could be considered a direct provocation from the other party.
have to say,
The other person's personality is getting worse and worse.
As everyone left, the snake witch finally turned her attention to her.
She was originally planning to profit from the conflict between the two, so naturally she wouldn't give Kikyo any chance to recover her strength.
A gentle clap of hands,
A group of witches flew out from the surrounding buildings, holding four magical girls hostage. The girls' innocent faces were filled with fear.
"On my way here, I encountered some magical girls, and I thought I might want to get to know Kikyo, so I brought them all along."
"What do you want to do?"
"Here, inject this into your body, and I'll release them. What do you say?"
The snake witch beckoned, and immediately a witch with fiery red twin tails flew over with a potion in her hand.
Looking at this potion,
Kikyo's eyes instantly darkened.
She drew her bow and arrow.
Whoosh!
A dazzling light shot out from the divine bow in his hand, easily piercing through the bodies of the witches. The four magical girls fell to the ground, their fates unknown.
"As expected of the strongest mage, their heart is truly ruthless!"
The snake witch spoke words of praise, but her expression was quite unpleasant. She realized she had underestimated the decisiveness of the Kikyo mage.
They acted immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
This is a blatant message to her: stop with all this fancy stuff.
She, the Kikyo Magician, wasn't buying it.
"Since that's the case, let's fight fair and square. I've wanted to see the power of the strongest mage for a long time." The snake witch summoned her snake-shaped magic wand.
Under the ruins,
The three members of the Gladiolus Magical Girls squad had quietly entered the heart of the battle without anyone noticing. They had all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Violet-senpai report that she was safe in the group chat.
immediately,
Following the location given by the Gladiolus Mage in the group chat, they began their journey to the site of the Kikyo Mage's battle.
I'm going to help Kikyo-senpai, even if it's just doing odd jobs.
The streets of Dongguan City are filled with all kinds of shops, such as music restaurants, music stores, and performance halls.
From their perspective, looking towards the city center, they could previously see a huge mass of flesh and blood floating in the blood-red sky above the city.
A huge, cocoon-shaped mass of flesh floated in the sky, constantly emitting purplish-black mist. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the mist was not mist at all, but countless pitch-black moths flying out from it.
Their target wasn't the magical girl, but the crowd running around them.
The crowds parasitized by the gray moths had gone completely mad. Pedestrians on the street picked up whatever they could reach and hurled it at the crowds around them. People in the driver's seat, their eyes bloodshot, rammed into the crowds in front of them, causing horrific car accidents and explosions.
The hellish scenery left the magical girls feeling quite uneasy.
"Sister Xia Qing, do you think this apocalyptic scene could actually be the gate to the abyss opening in Ye Qiu City?!"
Bai Youqing's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Her current strength was far from formidable, and it would be difficult for her to protect her brother and help him survive the Black Tide crisis.
You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?
Xia Qing shook her head in bewilderment. This was the first time she had ever seen such a scene. Even during the previous Black Tide crisis, which occurred in the eastern district of Yeqiu City, they still went to class as usual.
I had no idea what was happening outside. Every day, my biggest feeling was that I would hear a loud rumbling sound every now and then, just like an earthquake.
Han Xue gazed at the increasingly thick gray fog, biting her lip, her eyes filled with worry, and murmured:
Is this hell?
"I've never seen hell, but Yeqiu City right now is hell for us."
Xia Qing smiled gently, then her usual carefree attitude vanished, replaced by a serious and earnest expression.
She held Han Xue and Bai Youqing's warm little hands, "Instead of worrying about those vague and unrealistic things, let's do something we can do now."
"After all, we should have complete faith in our predecessors like Violet and Kikyo! You know, Kikyo, the mage, blew the head off the Lord of the Abyss, Titan. What's a little mist like this?"
"Yes, I felt the immense power emanating from Sister Xia Qing!" Bai Youqing said with a smile.
"Mm." Han Xue nodded as well.
By the time the magical girl juniors arrived at the scene, Kikyo and the snake witch were already locked in a fierce battle.
Bai Youqing and the others cautiously approached the magical girls whose fates were unknown, and whispered disdainfully, "They've been using a war of attrition, and they still have the nerve to say that? They're shameless."
"Shh, don't let them see us. Be sneaky, don't shoot." Xia Qing covered Bai Youqing's mouth and whispered.
"Uh-huh."
In the center of the battlefield, the snake witch was panting heavily. Kikyo was incredibly strong; even though she had already been weakened by the raven witch, the magic power in her core seemed inexhaustible.
As she gasped for breath, the snake witch naturally noticed the few sneaky little mice outside the battlefield, but she did not stop them at all, only revealing a slight cold smile on her lips.
After leaving the battlefield, Bai Youqing and the others quickly arrived at another street. This street was sparsely populated, and the impact of the calamity was minimal.
In this almost deserted alley,
Perhaps they were tired from walking.
They carefully placed the unconscious girl on their backs against the tables and chairs in front of the shop.
"I'm exhausted."
Xia Qing wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered helplessly.
In order to avoid the snake witch detecting the magical girl's magical energy fluctuations, they carried their magical girl companions away on their own bodies.
It's alright for Bai Youqing.
But for Xia Qing and Han Xue, girls who spend most of their time in classrooms, it was a bit too much. Bai Youqing looked at the desolate street, a sense of unease creeping into her heart.
"We've evacuated here, so we should be safe, but why do I always feel...:::" She hadn't finished speaking.
People dressed in black robes emerged, the lines on the backs of their hands gleaming in the darkness.
"You're something else! As expected of a magical girl, you still managed to find us even though we were hiding so well. In that case, we won't hide anymore."
"!"
Xia Qing stared at the black-robed figure who had suddenly appeared before her, her face a mixture of confusion and seriousness. These people...
They don't seem to be many in number, and the abyssal aura emanating from them isn't very strong, so they shouldn't be too difficult to deal with.
But since it's an ambush, there must be a backup plan.
"Xiao Qing, if possible, I'll lead the way next time."
"Sister Xia Qing, you can't blame me for this. It's your own lack of stamina that made me walk in front."
Bai Youqing offered a feeble excuse.
For some reason, she always encountered all sorts of strange things, either abyssal monsters or human demons, as if someone was specifically guiding her.
"Let's put that aside for now, let's transform first!"
Xia Qing took a deep breath, looked at the black-robed figures gradually gathering around him, and began to chant:
"The red rose star shines in the night sky."
"The power of magic, awaken me."
"Stars revolve, brilliance shines forth,"
"The oath of the red rose, to protect this land."
"Ugh! Why can't I transform?"
When Xia Qing opened her eyes, she found that her Red Rose Star had not changed at all, and all the fiery eyes of the people around her were fixed on her alone.
This awkward feeling was unpleasant, even though she considered herself a socialite.
Now, she finally understood what these people relied on.
"Sister Xia Qing, it seems like they've set up a demon-sealing barrier around here."
In the endless silence,
Through the figure in black robes, Bai Youqing could clearly see traces of magic stone glowing in several dark places.
This is exactly the same as what she saw after the disaster in Dongguan City.
After a moment's thought, she said, "Sister Xia Qing, I know martial arts, so I should be able to delay them for a while. You and Sister Han Xue should retreat first."
"No!"
"Jian Xiaohai would never abandon any of his companions!" Xia Qing refused the job without even thinking.
Han Xue stood to the side without saying a word, but her stance was evident from her position in front of Bai Youqing.
"Yes, let's fight together!"
The magical girls have a strong will.
His will was also very firm.
Then they were all beaten to the ground.
Bai Youqing was no exception; she was very powerful, and three or four men in black robes couldn't get close to her.
However, when the figure in black robes began to twist and deform, transforming into a human-demon monster with blood-red eyes, Bai Youqing was quickly defeated.
Without the slightest resistance.
"Xiaoxue, I feel like we're doomed." Xia Qing held Han Xue's small hand, her voice tinged with sadness. "But the thought of dying together with you makes me content."
"Sister Xia Qing, please stop having an attack. These people's motives don't seem to be pure."
Bai Youqing spoke, watching as the black-robed figures approached them, each holding an unknown instrument.
Her expression turned very serious.
Looking at this somewhat familiar object,
She thought of many bad things; this is the real world!
This isn't a world of mutation!
Why would such a thing be developed?
Xia Qing turned her head and sighed, "Isn't that obvious? People have been waiting patiently all night long. Do you think they're out for a walk?"
The black-robed man's collar, glowing with a purple light, drew ever closer.
Has Lan Zhenzhi become a casualty of the CCSA forum today?
Bai Youqing closed her eyes resignedly.
My mind is filled with countless thoughts.
"I should have gone for it a few days ago!"
A gentle breeze blew by.
Warm raindrops fell onto her face.
Is it raining?
Bai Youqing slowly opened her eyes and saw the black-robed man who had been preparing to put the collar on her.
They've already been separated from their bodies.
Standing in front of her was another terrifying human-demon.
His appearance was that of a human-shaped upper body with an eagle-like head and no eyes, while his lower body was a thick snake tail that supported his body high. Two human-like arms grew from which grew a sharp, flat bone spur, like a sharp blade.
at this time,
A few drops of blood remained on his bone spur.
"Slay them!"
The words came out of his mouth in a cold tone.
An art performance has begun.
quite a while.
The battle is over.
These suddenly appearing demons all reverted to their original forms, except that they all wore faceless masks. This was clearly to prevent Bai Youqing and the others from recognizing their true faces.
Xia Qing stepped forward.
Standing at the very front, I coldly watched them.
"Who are you people?"
Have you heard of the FFF group?
The young man wearing a faceless mask chuckled, but he didn't look at Xia Qing; instead, he looked at Bai Youqing behind him.
Noticing the faceless masked man's gaze, Bai Youqing instinctively took a step back, suppressing her fear.
She tried to appear calm and said:
"Is that the evil organization that was recently wanted by the security bureau?"
"If there isn't another FFF group in Yeqiu City, then we should be the one in the world."
The faceless masked youth chuckled.
"So, what is your purpose?"
"It's simple, I was just passing by."
The faceless masked youth chuckled a few times and then made the crowd behind him part to make way.
This time,
This could burn out Bai Youqing, Xia Qing, and the others' "CPUs," and they looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
After a few seconds,
The people on both sides looked at each other without making a move.
With gritted teeth,
Feeling a little uneasy under her gaze, Bai Youqing carried the unconscious magical girl on her back and walked out first.
Halfway there,
She turned her head and found that the other person really didn't seem to care about them, but was just quietly watching from the side.
Until Bai Youqing and the others left,
The man in black robes behind him leaned closer and said, "Boss, it seems we haven't received orders to rescue them!"
"Do I need to report to you when I do things?" The faceless masked youth slammed his hand down on the black-robed man's head. "I just can't stand seeing these cultists bullying a bunch of young girls, okay?!"
"oh."
Looking at the fading rainbow light on the horizon,
The faceless masked youth sighed inwardly, "Class monitor, good luck."
