HPDBC Chapter 226 A Meteoric Arrival
Chapter 226 A Meteoric Arrival
The wheat ears mustered their courage and took a step forward.
She remembered what happened on her way to the top floor of the Demon King's castle:
As soon as they entered the gate, the toy soldiers around them suddenly came to life and attacked them.
The magical girl [Cang Er] stayed behind to hold off the toy soldiers on the floor, and escorted the remaining people to the next floor.
Immediately afterwards, the Yeti statue on the second floor attacked the group. The magical girl [Tanuki] fought with the Yeti, diverting its attention and allowing the three to move to a higher floor.
On the third floor, the projection of Hellcat's Starry Shadow stood prominently in front of the door. The magical girl [White Lily] mustered her courage, lit up the Starry Shadow to fight against it, and covered Wheat and Clover as they rushed to the higher floors.
Faced with the twisted barrier on the fourth floor, which could only allow one person to pass through at a time, Clover resolutely chose to maintain the stability of the barrier herself, watching Wheat rush towards the top floor of the Demon King's castle.
Now, Mai Sui is all alone, facing the final fox demon king, and her smiling rabbit wingman beside her...
"Green Ivy and the others, are they your companions, Miss Wheat Ear?"
The wheat ear remembered what the four-leaf clover had said to it.
"Companions are people we must protect. No matter what dangers they encounter, we should face them together!"
"Only in this way can we be called comrades! Only then can we truly embody the beliefs of a magical girl!"
The echo in her mind faded away, and Mai Sui stopped and looked at the golden fox that was calmly watching her from a distance.
"...Heart Moon Fox".
As Maisui uttered the other's name, as if she had made up her mind, the magic cannon lit up with a brilliant light.
"Wow, instead of running away, it's actively moving closer to me, Fox?"
"Even though the Hyacinth Squad and the White Lily Squad had just discovered the secret of my inner world, they desperately rushed you to the top floor of the Demon King's Castle like students still answering questions when the exam was about to end..."
"And how do you plan to rescue your companion, Miss Wheat?"
"...I will defeat you and then rescue Green Ivy and the others," Wheat said through gritted teeth in a low voice.
Su Tianqing's smile became even more joyful.
"How naive. However, I admire your courage."
After saying that, the golden fox took a step back, and the Cheshire Rabbit stepped forward with his hammer, casting a scrutinizing look at the wheat ears.
"Bunny, stop her!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Cheshire Rabbit vanished instantly, leaving only a crescent-shaped smile in the air.
The wheat ears were tense all over.
Knowing Cheshire Rabbit's trick—her invisibility magic was unparalleled, and given that this was Heart Moon Fox's mental world, he simply couldn't find a trace of her!
The most troublesome aspect of this rabbit girl is that she sneaks up on her opponent while invisible and launches a deadly attack from a blind spot with her exaggeratedly large hammer.
"Whoosh!!!"
The sound of a sledgehammer cutting through the air was almost within reach.
Wheat hurriedly twisted the magic cannon in her hand and barely managed to catch the rabbit hammer behind her, but it couldn't withstand the terrifying hammering force at all and was instantly shattered into a handful of magical dust.
"You reacted pretty quickly," the pink-haired bunny girl murmured softly.
The wheat-colored magical girl unleashed a magic missile, then took a few steps back to focus on controlling a magic cannon.
No one had ever seen Wheat Ear use only one magic cannon, not even Green Ivy and the other two. But if Iris were present, she would clearly understand what Wheat Ear's current state meant:
"Fire!"
"Boom!!"
The magic cannon was fired without any aiming, and the cannon shot flew straight towards Cheshire Rabbit!
"Crack!!!"
The magic cannon hit, blasting up a large cloud of dust.
Su Tianqing sat on the Demon King's chair not far away, controlling the camera familiars with great interest to film this rare one-on-one battle.
What kind of battle will unfold when the magically powerful Cheshire Rabbit clashes with the experienced veteran magical girl, Musa?
As the dust settled, Cheshire Rabbit was nowhere to be seen. Without hesitation, Wheat immediately erected a magical shield around herself, a technique she used as a video tutorial for Iris.
"When using two magic cannons at the same time, Wheat's firepower is outstanding, and when she focuses on controlling one magic cannon, her excellent dual-casting skills can bring a huge tactical advantage."
Su Tianqing recalled the evaluation of wheat ears that her familiar, Fox Fox, had found in the Hero Association's archives.
Although she's the kind of person who throws herself into the air indiscriminately when facing monsters, her spellcasting skills are definitely not to be underestimated.
……
The fierce battle continues.
Cheshire Rabbit suddenly appeared from stealth and followed up with a backstab with a hammer. Wheat barely managed to block it with her magic shield, as if her fighting spirit had been rekindled. She completely abandoned her bad memories in Rongcheng and performed exceptionally well.
The two sides exchanged blows, the light of the magic cannon and magic missile bursting forth in an instant, but was quickly shattered and interrupted by the rabbit hammer.
It has to be said that all of Rabbit's abilities were designed specifically for firepower-type magical girls. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
Stealth and short-range teleportation, combined with the burst damage of the Rabbit Hammer, make this an extremely perfect hammer assassin.
While it may not be as effective as the Cat and Hyacinth in sustained close-range pressure, it is a perfectly targeted setup for dealing with firepower-based opponents who lack close-range combat abilities.
Despite facing such a highly targeted opponent, Mai Sui managed to hold on!
"BOOM!!!"
"Ugh...!"
As the rabbit hammer swung out, Wheat immediately caught the angle at which the rabbit appeared. With all its might, it hastily generated a magical shield to barely block the attack. At the same time, it twisted the muzzle of the magic cannon, using the cannon fire to force the rabbit to retreat and dodge.
"……interesting."
Su Tianqing smiled and muttered to herself.
It's so interesting, so incredibly interesting.
The revitalized wheat ear fought the rabbit to a standstill, and the wheat ear's wonderful performance brought a lot of amusement, making it impossible for her to suppress the smile on her face.
Rabbit seemed to be enjoying herself quite a bit. After all, no matter how good Wheat's condition was, it was still a firepower type. Being able to fight Rabbit to this extent was already a commendable achievement.
……but,
How long can she maintain this state of unleashed potential?
Su Tianqing narrowed her eyes, her fox-like eyes filled with thought and consideration.
The magic shield generated in an emergency requires a lot of magic power, while Rabbit only pays out the additional magic power when she attacks with her rabbit hammer. The expenditures of the two are not on the same level at all.
In this way, as long as Rabbit maintains this rhythm of constantly stealthy attacks and wears down Wheat, Wheat will eventually become exhausted and even reveal a weakness.
"flaw."
"!!"
As expected, no.
No matter how prepared or experienced Wheat was, Cheshire Rabbit's tricky hammer attack angle still caught her off guard, leaving her with a fatal weakness.
The rabbit hammer strikes!
"Click!!!"
"Whoa?!"
The wheat stalks flew backward, crashed onto the floor, rolled several times, and collapsed to the ground, whimpering and moaning in pain.
"Ah...that's right...that's the mournful sound..." The rabbit girl's face showed a fascinated smile, completely immersed in it.
"Cry out, Miss Wheat Ear, let me hear more, more, more voices...!"
"How melodious, how alluring, you are simply...so..."
Cheshire Rabbit's suddenly low murmur echoed in Wheat Ear's ears, and the rabbit hammer dragged on the ground, making a heavy creaking sound, which added to the heavy murderous aura.
The wheat stalk struggled to get up, but its body wouldn't obey it, and it fell to the ground, unable to move.
...It's over.
Even with all his might, he still couldn't defeat Cheshire Rabbit.
"Tap, tap, tap."
The rabbit girl's steps gradually drew closer.
Looking at her three former companions tied to the courtyard pillar, Maisui felt a deep sense of resentment, but she could no longer stand up.
She saw the joy in Xinyuehu's eyes and the infatuated smile on Cheshire Rabbit's lips. The magic enveloping her body seemed to be gradually fading, and her power was slowly dissipating.
【……interesting】
I admire your will, Miss Wheat.
At some point, Mai Sui seemed to hear Xin Yuehu's voice echoing in her mind.
Your will transcended my mental world, reaching the celestial realm, and conveyed your will to her.
[As expected, that little fox was right about you. Miss Dandelion's magic on you even surpasses the magic in my mental world.]
Dandelion... Miss Dandelion...?
Mai Sui felt as if she were hallucinating from a voice that should absolutely not be there, but she couldn't help but turn her gaze to the ceiling of the Demon King's castle.
suddenly,
A powerful magical force came from the horizon, and magic from outside the world of imagination descended upon the wheat!
"What?!"
"Whoosh!!!"
A burst of magic erupted, and a powerful magical storm swept across the top floor of the entire Fox Demon King's Castle.
Cheshire Rabbit was forced back by the sudden magical impact, retreating to the side of the golden fox, and looking at the other golden figure that broke through the ceiling and descended from the sky!
"Miss Wheat Ear! Stand up!!"
The fox-like stargazer elf called out loudly, and the golden magical girl floating in the air raised her dandelion wand, pouring immense magical power from the stars into the wheat ears.
Magical Girl [Dandelion], makes a dazzling debut!
An unparalleled enhancement magic descended upon Wheat Ear, and the girl felt her entire body brimming with magical power. Even her formal attire underwent subtle changes, as if she were draped in flowing nebulae and galaxies!
【Enhanced Magic: Simulated Star Shadow】!
"Miss Dandelion! You, what brings you here?!" Wheat Ear said incredulously to the girl above him.
This should be the mental world of Xin Yuehu, there's no way it could have entered from the outside! But why is Dandelion...?
"I have fought with Xin Yuehu many times, and I know the structure of her mental world very well."
The golden-haired fox, Dandelion, spoke from the air, gripping her magic wand tightly, her gaze resolute.
"Furthermore, Wheat Ear, your will activated the message magic I left on you, guiding me to the key node in the world of mental images, which allowed me to break in!"
Wheat Ear stared blankly at her, but quickly recovered from the shock and unleashed the magic cannon with the immense power brought by the enhancement magic!
The two magic cannons reassembled and took shape beside her, transforming into two massive cannons with calibers as large as train guns, pointing directly at the Fox Demon King who sat on the throne.
"Go! Wheat!"
"Ooooooooo!!!"
A passionate cry burst forth from the wheat ears.
But no one noticed that the Fox Demon King on the throne turned his gaze to the intruding fox floating in the air, and the two of them simultaneously revealed an imperceptible smile.
Magical Girl [Wheat Ear]
With unwavering will, even the shadows of borrowed stars can shine brilliantly!
