Yes, I did all of this!

"What? Is there something wrong with what I said? What's wrong with humans pursuing beauty? It's you magical girls who have been hindering Leviathan's actions, making them suffer, aren't you?"

As Duanmu Mo spoke, he threw the greatsword toward Huangyi on the ground. As she dodged backward, he immediately landed in front of the greatsword, gripping two floating blades and slashing at her.

"Hmm—you're wrong!"

Raising his arms to resist Duanmu Mo's attack, Huang Yi's feet were already deeply embedded in the ground.

“Where did you go wrong? You heard it too, people are denying you, they don’t need your protection, what you call protection is no different from torture to them, so why bother with all this trouble?”

As Duanmu Mo spoke, he increased the force applied to the floating blades again, causing Huang Yi's hands to tremble.

"No... Neville, you were wrong from the very beginning!"

Huang Yi gritted his teeth and spoke, and the surrounding lightning transformed into streaks of lightning snakes, biting towards Duanmu Mo, but they were all blocked by his protective shield.

"I'm not the naive child I was a year ago, and I won't be affected by your words!"

Huangyi roared, and two pairs of wings made of lightning erupted from his back. The astonishing power blasted Duanmu Mo away, causing his feet to plow a deep trench in the ground.

Four bolts of lightning formed wings of light that surged behind Huang Yi. She took a deep breath, stood still, and placed her hand on her heart.

"...Even if I make a mistake, he will remind me immediately."

Duanmu Mo watched as the gentleness flashed in Huang Yi's eyes, which was then replaced by an unwavering determination, and fell silent.

She straightened her chest, and the energy within her surged once more:

"—So now, all I need to do is do what I believe in and do: defeat you! Save the rest of the misled people!"

. . . . . .

Chapter 489: The Power of Companions

Upon hearing Huang Yi's words, Duanmu Mo quieted down, then silently placed his hand in the card slot on his waist and pulled out the two cards.

“That’s right. So after I kill you, I’ll send that person down to join you.”

He raised his hand and took out another card, within which the golden flames of the setting sun slowly burned: "As for now, unless a miracle occurs, you are doomed to die."

"A miracle?" Huangyi raised his hand, looking at his bracers. "...We've had something like that for a long time!"

As she spoke, she unfurled her lightning wings and charged toward Duanmu Mo.

Seeing this, Duanmu Mo also inserted the card into the slot, and golden flames began to ignite from his body.

Sensing the same power fluctuation, Yuhi turned his head slightly, and his head was immediately hit by the zombie monster, turning to the side.

"..."

The evening sun glanced indifferently at the zombie monster in front of it, grabbed its arm and pried it open, then slammed its head into the monster's head, creating a ripple of air explosion that slammed the zombie monster hard to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, golden flames erupted from her body, instantly healing her head injury.

She gazed at the hanged ghost on the ground, its body rapidly recovering.

"It's gotten stronger again. What a troublesome fellow." Xi Ri stared coldly at it, and the golden flame wings on its back suddenly shook, scattering a large number of feathers that transformed into golden flame clones with Xi Ri's blurry outline.

"But don't think you're the only one getting stronger!"

The sun suddenly opened its eyes wide, its eyes, which were burning with crimson flames, turned golden. The other golden flame clones did the same, gathering the power of the flames and shooting them out as rays.

Countless golden rays bombarded the zombie monster on the ground, further damaging its body.

However, even with this alone, victory is by no means easy. Without a decisive difference in strength, it would be difficult for two equally matched individuals to achieve a decisive outcome unless they fought tirelessly for several more days.

However, for Yuhi, all she needed to do was keep this enemy, who would be troublesome for other magical girls, occupied.

The rest was left to her trusted companions.

. . . . . .

boom--

Duanmu Mo and Huang Yi clashed again, and huge ripples spread from the ground. Lightning and flames intertwined, bursting out a large number of sparks.

"Hmm..."

Huangyi retreated slightly, but then they were locked in a stalemate.

A brief period of exhaustion was nothing, but what truly surprised Duanmu Mo was that she was able to withstand Xi Ri's strength.

"...From the single card, the double card, to the gold card now, Huangyi, your talent is probably even higher than Xiri's." Duanmu Mo said, suddenly swinging his greatsword even faster than before: "But, it's still useless!"

The Black Corrosion Greatsword slashed at Huangyi, leaving wounds on her body. Huangyi gritted her teeth, and at the same time, the Lightning Wings on her back shot out beams of light.

Before Duanmu Mo could parry, he was struck by the lightning beam, and his armor was visibly charred, causing him to pause slightly.

Huangyi seized the opportunity, her power surged, and she unleashed all her attacks on Neville.

In an instant, Duanmu Mo's body was covered with marks from lightning strikes and slashes, and his armor, which was still intact a second ago, was instantly torn to shreds.

"...You know how fast the power of the setting sun recovers, right?" Duanmu Mo said while still paralyzed by the lightning and enduring the attack from the Radiant Wings.

"So what!"

"It's just a pity."

Duanmu Mo finally broke free from the lightning's restraints, raised his hand to block Huangyi's attack, and gripped the Black Erosion Greatsword tightly in his other hand.

"Wouldn't it be better to just obediently submit? Magical girls, you could have spent your long years in a false world, but now you're killing people so easily—I remember you haven't even been in the industry for a year, have you?"

After he finished speaking, black tentacles appeared from the void and tightly bound Huangyi.

Even if she breaks free from him in the next second, that's enough for Duanmu Mo.

Clang!

The Black Erosion Greatsword emitted a sharp whistling sound as it pierced through the air, accompanied by the sound of flesh being torn apart. Duanmu Mo left a huge gash from Huang Yi's left shoulder to her right waist, destroying her armor. Blood gushed out as Huang Yi groaned in pain.

"Forehead......"

Despite the excruciating pain, Huangyi unleashed an astonishing reaction speed, using electromagnetic fields to block the wound and prevent further bleeding, while simultaneously stimulating cell division with lightning to accelerate wound healing.

Although its efficiency is far from that of the golden flames of the past, it is at least better than nothing.

Huang Yi and Duanmu Mo shot out streaks of electricity.

"Long-range shooting?"

Seeing this, Duanmu Mo also took out his Black Mist Spear and quickly gave chase.

Huangyi, clutching her injuries, weaved between the battles between magical girls and monsters.

Lightning beams and bullets burning with golden flames crisscrossed each other, and purple and gold figures moved swiftly through the battle.

"It's no use trying to escape, Huangyi."

Duanmu Mo dodged all of Huang Yi's attacks: "I still have the power of Cang Yuan to use, but what do you have left?"

"..."

Huangyi released his hand from the wound, and his blood-stained palm unleashed a large number of electric orbs, which arranged in the air: "And my companion—Ling, give me a hand!"

"learn!"

She had already flown to Wind Chime's battle position, and Wind Chime quickly abandoned her fight with the Hanging Ghost. Beams shot out from the muzzle of the floating cannon and her palm, striking the electric orbs as if they had been coordinated.

The magnetic field inside the electric sphere disperses these beams of light, turning them into even finer rays that sweep across the surrounding area.

The power was indeed reduced, but with so many of them, it was still difficult to dodge. Duanmu Mo and the hanged ghosts who came to pursue him were also swept by the rays. The former had a lot of wounds on his armor, while the latter was forced to retreat.

Duanmu Mo continued charging forward despite the beam of light, the eye area of ​​his helmet glowing red: "Is that all?"

He passed through the wind chimes and continued to catch up with Huangyi, ignoring the electric orbs.

Suddenly, he felt a hurricane blowing towards him, as if an invisible hand was grabbing him, making it difficult to continue tracking. Lingyin's support arrived just in time.

"Thank you, Yin." Huangyi took a deep breath and continued to release a large number of electric balls into the sweeping gale.

The electric orbs released streams of electricity, attacking Duanmu Mo's body in the gale, but they were blocked by his burning golden flames.

"I can get back faster than the taxi."

Duanmu Mo suddenly flicked his hand, shattering the tornado.

At the same time, the tornado also shook the electric balls in the wind, scattering them to every corner of this space.

Seeing this, Huangyi silently continued forward.

Duanmu Mo casually slashed with his sword.

Although the sword strike didn't inflict much serious damage on the zombie monster, it still sent it flying to the other side, causing it to crash heavily to the ground.

"—I'm sorry, Neville, this road is blocked."

With her arms crossed, Xi Ri floated in front of Huang Yi, shielding her behind her, while Jin Yan quickly healed Huang Yi's wounds.

"Cough cough..."

A stinging sensation spread through his body, and Huang Yi coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, but eventually his breathing became much smoother.

"The setting sun?"

Duanmu Mo shook his head and took out Cang Yuan's card: "This time, I'm serious. If you cooperate, I can delay your death."

—For Leviathan, this was its plan to kill the magical girls; and for Duanmu Mo, this was also a trial for Yu Zhi and the others. If they couldn't even pass this test, then they shouldn't participate in the battles that followed.

"Do you think I'm someone who's afraid of death?" Yuhi chuckled, remaining motionless, but turning to look at Huangyi:

"Is everything ready?"

"Ah."

Huangyi nodded slightly. Upon hearing this, Xi Ri smiled, a hint of excitement in her eyes:

"Let's begin—everyone! The plan is about to start!"

—Leviathan was plotting to kill the magical girls, but how could they not have noticed? Therefore, preparations to deal with this plan had already begun long ago.

As soon as she finished speaking, Huangyi behind her gritted his teeth and detonated the electric orbs in this space. The electric orbs exploded and released a large number of electric arcs, which turned into lightning snakes that entangled the strange people.

"Ok?"

As he watched the electric arc envelop him, a familiar numbing sensation spread throughout his body, and Duanmu Mo's movements instantly froze.

At the same time, Fengling Lingyin and the others used their power to move the hanged ghost to a straight line behind Huangyi and Duanmu Mo.

Cangyi kicked the zombie monster that was also paralyzed, threw it near Duanmu Mo, and then transformed into white lightning and returned to Huangyi's wristband.
