I will never give in to Miss Death

No. 190 Magic Record

Earth Year 2022, Different Dimension, Genesis.

I can't remember how many times I have come to this place.

Yin Xiamo, the great devil who has been endangering the area in recent years, the little devil who was once supported by me, has now become the queen of darkness in this dark night land, possessing the power of darkness and lightning that is so powerful that the entire space is afraid of it.

If not contained, her power will have an indelible impact on the entire world.

"How do you plan to play happily with me today, little kitty?"

In the darkness, Yin Xiamo, who was floating in the air in front of me, was just like the female devil in my memory. She was wearing the uniform of the Queen of Dark Night, with her legs crossed. Her eyes were shining like a succubus, and she was looking at me leisurely.

"I said, no matter how many times, I will challenge you, and then...seal you forever!"

Facing Yin Xiamo's ridicule, I took a step forward and silently clenched my fists: "That's it, devil!"

"Oh my, don't you understand now? You who possess the 'Extreme Tide Holy Body' cannot defeat me. With this physique, whether you touch my lightning power or the residual power of the lightning pierces your soul, your will will collapse."

Yin Xiamo waved her hand, and a force of lightning instantly appeared on her fingertips: "When you can't even move your body...how are you going to face me, a king from the end of the world?"

"How will you know if you don't try?"

I slowly walked towards the girl in front of me, summoned the Soul Gem, and held it in my hand: "If I give up, it will be the end, but I believe I can change my fate! The destruction and sigh that cannot be avoided, I can subvert everything, I want to have the power born for this!"

That’s right, even if I am the “Sacred Body of Extreme Tide”, even a trickle of water can eventually flow into the sea, even a weak young bird can eventually spread its wings and fly, I don’t believe that my efforts all along cannot resist the so-called fate…

If...if this is the path I choose...

"Oh? Are you coming towards me?"

My action surprised Yin Xiamo: "Faced with me who possesses extremely strong lightning power, you chose not to run away, but came over bravely. It's rare that your magical girl seniors tried their best to rescue you from the cradle, but you want to disappoint their expectations..."

"How can I beat you if you don't come closer?"

I tilted my head back and waved the gem: "Transform!"

At this moment, a large amount of magical energy surrounded me.

The huge world instantly turned into a blue ocean.

The clothes on my body quickly turned into starlight and dissipated with the sound of "ding-ling-ling" like wind chimes. The starlight turned into a pleasant melody that kept echoing in this empty world. Riding on this melody, my body instinctively followed and danced. My slender legs crossed and danced on the empty ground. My insteps were stretched tight, and my slender little feet formed an elegant curve with my legs like a little dancer in ballet.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

As the music played, I used my nimble feet to point out five symmetrical stars on the ground. Then I quickly spun around myself, and my snow-white, tender little feet drew a regular circle.

In an instant, a shining five-star pattern appeared on the ground.

As soon as the five-star pattern appeared, powerful magical power summoned two magic round mirrors with rippling water waves on my left and right sides. I raised my hands in the open space, tilted my head back, made the "seven" gesture with both hands, and put them together. I moved them to my left eye, forming a "God's Eye" gesture, and looked up at the dark night sky filled with water waves.

At this moment, the two mirrors beside him reflected two completely different worlds - the left-hand reflection: inside it were giant dragons and fire phoenixes soaring over the Elf Forest in another world, and cats and elves chasing and playing inside the Elf Forest; the right-hand reflection: the mirror on the right was filled with the hustle and bustle of human society, and under the colorful neon lights, sinful humans were stirring in the darkness.

My hands, which were in the "God's Eye" pose, loosened.

The mirror on the right that reflected the human world shattered with a clang, revealing the turbulent sea water inside.

The world's gravity was reversed, the picture tilted to the right, and the mirror that was originally on the right became below me.

Affected by gravity, I closed my eyes and jumped into the broken mirror in a standard diving posture.

"Wow--"

After entering the water, the terrible magic power quickly gathered on my body, gradually condensing into a magic girl dress on my upper body, dotted my legs with pure white silk stockings, and finally put a pair of magic girl round-toed shoes on my little feet.

Finally, an exquisite magic wand inlaid with water balls fell from the sky and landed in my hands. Instinctively, I caught it and waved it skillfully twice.

The world of water shattered, and Yin Xiamo, wearing the uniform of the Witch of Night, and her realm of chaos appeared in front of me again.

"Wake up!"

Pointing the magic wand at the girl in front of me, I thought: "Waterspout!"

"Roar--"

A giant oriental dragon filled with the force of sea water gushed out from my magic wand and attacked Yin Xiamo in front.

"Oh? It seems that your water magic has improved a lot."

Facing the majestic dragon, Yin Xiamo was not afraid at all, and shot out a flash of lightning with her backhand - "Thunder Tornado!"

"Roar--"

The bright purple dragon roared out and entangled with my blue dragon.

"Alas……"

Because this giant dragon contains my "original power", it was naturally affected by the power of thunder and lightning. At this moment, I only felt the water ball in the middle of the magic wand in my hand was agitated, and some of the water droplets dripped down, leaving a large trace on the mysterious ground.

"I will...not admit defeat!"

Enduring the discomfort in my body, I increased my magic output: "Break!"

"Hooho-"

The giant water dragon rose into the air, breaking free from the lightning and thunder, and attacked Yin Xiamo.

"Humph, no matter how fancy your moves are, you are at best just a water magician."

Seeing her giant dragon being freed, Yin Xiamo sneered and waved her hand again: "Since you are stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless... Heavenly Thunder!"

In an instant, I felt a huge force of thunder and lightning coming towards me from all directions.

A cage with four lightning bolts as fulcrums, sticking together from the four directions of east, west, south and north, forming a cubic cage made of lightning, and rapidly shrinking in size, as if trying to trap itself to death inside.

You actually have this trick?

When I realized something was wrong, the first thing I thought of was to rush out before the prison shrank to the limit of lightning power. I quickly put the water element on my body as a shield and rushed towards the lightning wall in one direction -

"Water Dragon Break!"

"You can't escape."

However, Yin Xiamo had already arrived in front of me at this time. She waved her hand and thunder fell from the sky: "Thunder! Fall!"

"hiss……"

This lightning struck directly on the magic wand in my hand, causing a large amount of water elements in my body to surge. The water ball could no longer control its shape and sprayed in all directions like a fountain.

“Aaaaaaa——”

Terrible, tingling lightning ran rampant through my body. I uncontrollably straightened my feet, my body stiffened with slight convulsions, my eyes turned white, and my consciousness gradually became hazy.

"It's not... finished yet!"

Even though the source of magic power on the magic wand was almost collapsing and a large amount of water elements were overflowing, making the entire space damp, I still forced myself to use magic to break out of the lightning cage and hugged the girl in front of me.

"Got. You."

"Wait, when did you learn to fight back... Ah! No, let go..."

"Noer...don't...don't!"

"..."

For a moment, the water element and the thunder element began to weave in a messy manner, the power of thunder and lightning entangled with each other indistinguishably, and the chaotic world became even more chaotic.

"..."

……

Blue sky and island land.

There are also wet green lawns and golden sand beaches.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but I woke up slowly while lying on the lawn and opened my eyes.

The first thing you see is the blue sky, the occasional seagulls passing by, and the strange-shaped clouds at the edge of your vision.

I could feel the familiar smell and breathing of someone above me.

I know without looking that I am probably lying in the grass by the beach in a "big" shape.

I had a very strange feeling all over my body, a little wet, and a little... comfortable?

It's similar to the feeling of just finishing a run or doing strenuous exercise.

"Noer..."

Just as I was staring at the seagulls in the sky in this position, Yin Xiamo's voice came from above my head: "I know you are awake."

"Ah."

I whispered, "I'm awake."

"You are getting stronger."

Yin Xiamo's voice revealed a hint of fatigue for the first time: "As expected, as long as the magical girl is given enough time... the witch will be defeated one day."

"Didn't you give me the ability to be a magical girl?"

I said in a nonchalant tone, "You also taught me water magic."

"Yeah... just like you gave me lightning magic in my previous life."

Yin Xiamo seemed to move her head, and I felt an itchy and tingling sensation on the top of my head.

If nothing unexpected happened, Yin Xiamo was lying on the lawn in the same position as me.

We stood head to head, with our bellies facing the sky, looking up at the clouds under the blue sky.

"Xiao Mo."

After a moment of silence, I spoke up, "Since I met you, I've been having some weird dreams, especially when you're next to me, or when I fall asleep in your arms or on your lap."

These dreams... well, I forget most of the scripts as soon as I wake up.

Just like the dreams I had most of the time before, some dreams were very magical, and some lasted very long, so long that it seemed like a lifetime had passed.

When I was living alone and facing the society, the dreams I had most often were about going back to the past, back to my childhood, back to my student days, or having fun with my parents.

Among them, those dreams about returning to the past and my student days were simply caused by the excessive pressure I faced in society, which led to my desire to escape.

I have no parents and no background. After leaving the welfare home, I went out into society on my own and worked hard on my own. It is impossible for me not to be under a lot of pressure.

There was academic pressure when I was a student, but because I had no parents, no dad or mom would come and blame me, "Why don't you do your homework?" or "Why did you only get 90 points on the exam while the kids next door got 100 points?". So at that time, apart from being a little envious when the kids in my class could buy whatever they liked, I had almost no pressure. But it's different when you get out into the society. The society is a cannibalistic society. The boss will try every means to exploit you, the factory foreman will try every means to torture you, and you can't quit because if you quit, you will have no food to eat.

Similarly, when I was writing a novel, even if a reader left a comment in the book review section saying "What a crappy novel", no matter how aggrieved I was, I could only reply with "I'm sorry for affecting your reading experience, I will do better next time", because I knew that once readers gave up reading and gave up subscribing, my income would drop, and I might not be able to pay the rent or eat.

This kind of life pressure feels like a huge rock pressing down on me every day. It is a world of difference compared to my student days, so when I dream, my brain thinks it is natural to "want to go back to my student days."

As for the rest…when I dream about my parents, I can’t see their faces clearly.

Like a stranger.

But now that Yin Xiamo has come to my side, most of my dreams are about the other world.

Before, when I lived in a small apartment, I would prepare pen and paper by the bed and write down my dreams as soon as I woke up. But life cannot remain unchanged. Like when I go out and fall asleep on Yin Xiamo's lap, or like just now, when Yin Xiamo holds me and we are running on the sea, it is impossible for me to take out pen and paper the first thing after waking up.

Regarding the dreams I've had recently, I only have a vague, general feeling that the reason why I've become the cute little girl I am today is all thanks to my past self, the "brave man".

And as these dreams unfolded, I gradually began to understand some of Yin Xiamo's behaviors.

For example, why she sticks to me, or why she likes flowers, or why she bullies me, I would find these very strange if I were living in a small apartment, but now I have gradually gotten used to it.

Generally speaking, maybe... this is what is called fate.

"The hero is gone. I also had many dreams when I was fighting against the Demon King's army."

After a brief silence, Yin Xiamo's calm voice came from above: "At that time, basically the entire world was the devil's subordinates, including the brave man's former best friend, the humans he saved, and even the demons."

"If such a plot were put into a novel nowadays, the hero would probably be scolded to death by angry netizens. He tried his best, but did not get the best ending."

"is it?"

Listening to this, I raised my hands, clenched my fists, and then extended only my thumb and index finger, with my left thumb facing my right index finger. My two hands merged into a camera, and I pointed it at the sea eagle that flew from nowhere in the sky: "As for the ending, Xiaomo, haven't you killed the Demon King and brought peace to the other world?"

"..."

Yin Xiamo was silent for a while.

"It seems so."

Then, she turned over and leaned close to my forehead: "Then I only have one task left, to make someone happy."

“I’m already very happy.”
