Proving one's status starting with magical girls

The rain gradually subsided.

Golden rays of light intertwined across the city sky, and the dark rain clouds that had gathered together gradually dispersed under the continuous impact of the magic.

A magical girl with a platinum shawl leaps and darts between rooftops, relentlessly pursued by a tall gray shadow.

Seeing that the demon behind him was about to catch up, Bai Chi took the opportunity to leap off the edge of the rooftop, his whole body skimming past the still-under-construction building.

The towering demon also plummeted, his feet slamming against the vertical wall, his gray robes fluttering wildly as he chased after the figure below at an astonishing speed.

The distance was quickly reduced.

Fu Xun swung his bone knife down fiercely, gray blade energy pressing out from its edge, about to strike the magical girl below.

But just as the blade was about to strike, Bai Chi suddenly exerted force with his legs and slammed his feet heavily against the wall.

The glass shattered, the building shook, and she stopped falling. Instead, she used the force to propel herself horizontally, instantly creating a distance of tens of meters like a cannonball.

In mid-air, her magic wand transformed into a golden bow, and she turned and shot several platinum arrows downwards.

The blade's energy missed its target, first striking the street and slicing a crack several meters wide into the road surface.

Immediately afterward, the tall gray shadow crashed to the ground. Before it could even adjust its posture, several streaks of light arrived in succession.

"boom!"

The golden arrow blasted a crater several meters deep into the hard road surface, sending debris flying and dust billowing, with only a few wisps of residual brilliance faintly visible through the smoke.

The platinum boots landed lightly.

Bai Chi gripped his magic wand tightly, his eyes fixed on the center of the smoke and dust.

Almost at the same moment, the gray shadow broke through the fog.

Fu Xun held a long sword, its blade already upon him.

"Magic Protection!"

With a cold shout, Bai Chi unleashed a golden shield of flowing light, woven from magic, which blocked her path.

The bone blade swept across, cutting large swathes of stardust across the shield's surface.

Taking advantage of the brief opening gained by the shield, Bai Chi quickly retreated, his magic wand transforming into a bow once more, shooting out a beam of platinum light.

The beam of light split into three midway, each heading towards the demon.

The distance was already extremely close; even Bai Chi himself wasn't confident he could dodge the three streaks of light.

But the demon merely turned to the side instinctively, and two of the streaks of light grazed past its bone armor, while the remaining streak struck its bone armor, only blasting out a patch of charred black.

Bai Chi's eyes darkened slightly.

It's always like this.

This demon executive's raw strength isn't actually that great, but the problem lies in his terrifying intuition.

She tried to attack several times, but the other party instinctively dodged each time. If she hadn't let that stream of light split into three, she probably wouldn't have been able to hit it at all!

The two sides paused briefly, the sounds of explosions overhead still ringing in.

Na Xun looked down at the charred area on his shoulder and exclaimed in admiration.

"Even though I've fallen to the Bright level, I can still be hurt."

"Magic Blaze, if you could still use Melody, I would be no match for you."

Bai Chi didn't respond; she had no interest in chatting with the enemy. She simply drew up two more streaks of light.

After the battle with the witch Wu Jia, Bai Chi realized that she could no longer rely on her music to overwhelm others with sheer power. She was now better suited for close-range combat.

The demon dodged a streak of platinum light by sidestepping it, and then used his longsword to naturally deflect another streak of light that was heading straight for his head.

Bai Chi's heart sank slightly upon seeing this scene.

"From the beginning until now, it has only used that one knife..."

Unlike the Blood Duke, who, after becoming a corrupted magical girl, transformed her remaining power into weapons.

The weapons wielded by General Despair's demon subordinates are primarily manifestations of his power and have little to do with the primal magic within him.

Fu Xun is still using this weapon in combat.

In other words, after all this fighting, Incandescence may not have even managed to force out its primordial magic.

Perhaps this demon had already used its own magic, but Bai Chi didn't realize it.

But in any case, this is not good news for her.

Suddenly, the demon's silhouette vanished from its spot.

Bai Chi's alarm bells rang in his mind, and he immediately dodged to the side.

The bone knife fell close to her side, its blade grazing her shoulder and instantly cutting a white light through her shawl.

She retreated rapidly, her boots slamming into the ground as she leaped high into the air, trying to widen the distance again.

Fu Xun, however, followed closely behind.

Between the high-rise buildings, the platinum-gold light and the gray-white blade energy collided continuously, and the aftershocks scratched cracks on the exterior walls of the buildings.

Bai Chi sped past a building, and out of the corner of her eye, she could even see several company employees sitting at their desks, staring in disbelief as she fought the demon.

"..."

"Whoosh!"

A wave of sword energy attacked from behind her.

This time, Bai Chi didn't dodge, but instead raised his magic wand to block.

"boom!"

She was knocked back by the blow, crashing through the Linjiang Bridge and plunging straight into the water, creating a huge splash.

"Senior Bai Chi!"

A blonde magical girl's anxious voice came from high above.

"Underestimating the enemy is never a good thing."

The witch took a step forward, and her blood-red longsword thrust straight at her.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

With suppressed rage in her eyes, Bai Yu raised her Starlight Magic Wand, unleashing a surge of magical power that erupted into a golden stream of light, hurtling towards the sword's edge.

The golden light collided head-on with the blood-red sword blade.

With a flick of her wrist, the witch cleaved one of the swords in two, but dozens of other streaks of light followed in quick succession. The mercury lamp at her waist flickered slightly, and silver mist surged out, completely enveloping her.

The golden light lost its target and streaked through the mist toward the horizon.

A moment later, the witch reappeared in the silver mist.

Bai Yu gritted her teeth.

"Can't you just fight me head-on?!"

She rushed forward, wielding a dazzling golden light in her hand, and slapped it at the witch's face.

The latter promptly lifted his red robe to shield himself, and a dazzling golden light exploded on the robe, blasting the witch away more than a hundred meters away.

Once she regained her balance in mid-air and looked down, she noticed that the surface of her red robe was covered with cracked leaf scales.

The leaves clung to the surface of the red robe like armor plates, their edges sharp, leaving a large dent where they were struck, and it took a long time for them to unfold again.

The golden magical girl stared at her coldly.

"Besides these things, bring on whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve!"

The witch Chang Xiao clicked her tongue.

"Even without playing music, you dazzling magical girls are a pain in the neck."

Before she finished speaking, several slender leaf blades suddenly flew out from under her red robe, their edges splitting open like shredded blades, slicing towards Bai Yu from different directions.

Bai Yu used her magic wand to deflect the blades in front of her, but two blades grazed her arm, leaving faint marks on her golden sleeve.

She frowned, about to say something, when another loud noise came from afar.

The demon plunged into the river, its platinum radiance exploding underwater. Then, two silhouettes emerged from the water one after the other and landed on the riverside bridge.
