Chapter 227 The Villain's Self-Cultivation
"In the classic tale of the Demon King and the Hero, the Demon King possesses immense power."
"The hero will set out on a mission to defeat the evil Demon King, and at the last moment, with the help of his former companions, he will awaken new power and destroy the Demon King in one fell swoop."
The golden fox murmured to itself.
That's right, this is the script of the hero.
In a classic tale of heroism, the demon king will inevitably be defeated by the hero, and the power unleashed by the hero will become the ultimate weapon to subdue the demon king, bringing this classic tale to its climax.
...and that's exactly what I wanted to see.
That fighting spirit, that determination to protect, is always so perfect, always so...
"...It's exhilarating."
"Crack!!!!"
The giant cannon fired.
The starry shadows of the wheat ears come from the enhancement magic of the magical girl Dandelion in the sky, but even the simulated starry shadows are no different from the real new form.
She is fundamentally different from Iris—Iris's three quadruple-mounted magic cannons have a terrifying barrage of fire, but their single shots are somewhat lacking.
As for Mai Sui... the two giant cannons in her hands, which were like train guns, completely stripped her of all mobility, turning her into a completely heavy artillery turret, capable of unleashing terrifying firepower!
That magic cannon shot just now was like that:
The dust exploded, and the top floor of the entire Demon King's castle was blown away by the cannon fire, turning into stardust that drifted across the sky.
When the magical smoke dissipated, the figure of Demon King Fox reappeared, her golden attire now adorned with flowing starlight, displaying the same starry appearance.
Magical Girl Heart Moon Fox☆Shadow of the Stars.
The Cancer Witch floated in front of Heart Moon Fox, having blocked most of the firepower from the two magic cannons fired simultaneously. She then set up her twin magic cannons towards Wheat Ear, preparing for a head-on confrontation.
"Hehe... This level of firepower is not enough to shoot me down."
Su Tianqing said with a smile.
Wheat frowned as she loaded the magic cannon while simultaneously constructing a sturdy and thick magical shield around herself.
As a firepower turret that completely abandons mobility, Wheat's Shadow of Stars has extremely exaggerated cannon firepower, as well as a fortress-like heavy defense.
Cheshire Rabbit searched for a long time while in stealth mode but couldn't find a suitable opening to attack, so she had to quietly leave her magical perception range to avoid being discovered by Wheat.
The Starry Shadow enhances a magical girl's senses. For example, Hyacinth, in her Starry Shadow state, can even sense when someone approaches her.
But...
The rabbit girl turned her gaze to another golden fox in the air.
The magical girl Dandelion possesses powerful enhancement magic, capable of even transforming wheat ears into a state resembling the shadows of stars, and can also infiltrate the mind world of the fox spirit; her power should not be underestimated.
If I could knock down the dandelion myself, maybe...
We did it right away.
The rabbit girl instantly moved behind the dandelion, but just as she was about to raise her rabbit hammer to launch a stealth attack, the fox girl in front of her, who should have had no reaction, suddenly turned around and launched a magic blast at her!
"Crack!!"
"?!"
Xia Taotao took the brunt of a magic explosion head-on. Although she wasn't seriously injured, she was still blasted far away, and her invisibility was broken.
"Do you want to shatter the starry shadow of the wheat ears by attacking me?"
Dandelion spoke up, looking at the pink-furred rabbit that had set up a rabbit hammer not far away.
"Then I will be your opponent, Cheshire Rabbit."
"……snort."
The rabbit girl snorted coldly and silently slipped into the shadows, her fighting spirit burning fiercely.
It's interesting that it can identify its own location so accurately.
Just as she was about to rush up again to suppress the dandelion, a loud shout came from the stairwell, accompanied by a surge of magic—
"Wheat Ear! I'm here to help you!"
"!!"
Wheat turned around and met the gaze of the dark green-clad girl who was rushing over, clutching her magic wand. She was somewhat surprised.
The magical girl Clover somehow broke through the unstable barrier and arrived at the top floor of the Demon King's castle.
After seeing the scene before her, Clover was slightly puzzled, but she immediately raised her wand and created a magic missile launch barrier around herself.
"What's going on now?"
"...Anyway, let's defeat Xin Yuehu first!"
The wheat ears are full of fighting spirit, and the four-leaf clover is also full of confidence; a fierce battle is inevitable.
.
"In the battle against the Demon King, the hero gradually fell into a disadvantageous position."
"At that moment, good news came from his companions who were originally responsible for blocking the Demon King's army: they had defeated the Demon King's subordinates and were heading to the final battleground to support the hero."
"In this way, the hero is no longer alone, no longer needs to face the powerful demon king alone, but can go all out with the support of his companions."
"What a wonderful script."
Su Tianqing was still muttering to herself.
Even though she lost her old companions, the brave Mai Sui met new friends and gained new help in her new adventure... What kind of brilliance will she shine?
—The overwhelming barrage of magical cannon fire before her eyes was probably her most brilliant glory.
"Boom! Boom boom boom boom!!"
"!!..."
The Cancer Witch blocked two more magic cannon shots, but she was already showing obvious signs of weakness.
Su Tianqing was not nervous, but she did not send any more witches to provide support.
...My own stockpile was completely depleted in the Astral Rift battle a few days ago.
Not only were there readily available witches, but a significant portion of the Divine Stones savings was also allocated to temporarily purchase Monster Capsules and Enhancement Agents. In addition, with the arrangements made for the mental world, he only retained a minimal number of familiar guards at this time.
One Cancer witch, plus the Sirius witch waiting in the magic space, constitute all the combat power I currently have.
However, this is for the best.
Since you've decided to play the Demon King, you should exit the story in time at its climax to make it a truly worthy villain.
The above content is excerpted from FoxFox's autobiography, "The Self-Cultivation of the Villainous Fox."
"Wheat ears! Four-leaf clovers! I'm here to help you!"
Bai Lili's figure arrived one after another, her body covered with marks from being brutally beaten by cat claws, but she still fought with all her might to defeat the Hellcat's projection and rush to support the battlefield.
Next came the bladderwort, followed by the panting burdock. The entire White Lily squad was present, providing strong firepower support for Wheat Ear.
"Bai Lili...and, and also Cocklebur and Bladderwort...you guys..."
Mai Sui looked at her companions behind her in surprise, unsure of what expression to wear.
Moved?
Perhaps so, but right now I feel more worried.
This is Xin Yuehu's mental world. Even with the presence of Dandelion, an outsider who successfully broke through the mental world, this place can still provide Xin Yuehu with powerful assistance...
But how much help can Bai Lili's team provide?
"...Go for it bravely!"
Mai Sui cast aside her unease and focused all her attention on Xin Yuehu.
He had only one goal: to rescue Green Ivy and the others, to rescue his former companions!
……
Five firepower-type magical girls, two of whom are Star Shadows.
Even though Xin Yuehu had granted the Cancer Witch powerful magic resistance and magic cannon absorption abilities, she ultimately couldn't withstand such intense firepower and burst into a shower of brilliant magic particles.
"The witch is defeated!"
"Next, take down Heart Moon Fox!"
Bai Lili shouted as she delivered the final blow, her staff instantly shifting angle to create a precise ray of magic, which she unleashed upon Xin Yuehu, who had lost her witch's protection!
"Puff!!!"
"Ugh!..."
As a veteran staff user, Lily Bai is particularly outstanding in the precision of her magic rays; only Iris Flower can barely surpass this veteran in terms of accuracy.
Struck in the right shoulder, Heartmoon Magic Wand flew out of her hand, and Heartmoon Fox staggered back in pain, losing the means to continue summoning witches.
"Fox!"
Cheshire Rabbit decisively abandoned his fight with Dandelion and returned to Heartmoon Fox, raising his sledgehammer to prepare to defend against Lily White's sniping.
"It's not necessary, Bunny."
Su Tianqing spoke softly to the rabbit girl in front of her, then looked up at the magical girls who were going all out, her gaze lingering on Mai Sui.
"...Very good, Miss Wheat Ear, your performance was outstanding."
The golden fox chuckled softly.
"To be honest, when you first came to Swan Lake, I didn't even have high hopes for you."
"And you not only breached my Demon King's castle, but also displayed a whole new power with the help of your companions... I'm very satisfied."
"As agreed, I will release Green Ivy and the others and close the mental world. This time, you have won."
"So, let's call it a day."
After saying that, the golden fox flicked its tail, and the teleportation magic was activated immediately, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.
Before Mai Sui could exchange more than a few words with the golden-haired fox, the mental world had already been dissolved.
The scenery of the Demon King's Castle quickly faded away, and the Suicheng Zoo remained as quiet as ever at night.
Only the three Green Ivy members, who were sitting on the ground not far away, still in shock, and the surging starlight magic within her body, were left, telling the story of the intense and thrilling battle that had just taken place.
