The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Everyone underestimated the albatross's fighting style.

Including Su Tianqing herself.

According to the Hero Association's records, the Red Snow Squad is a classic, stable team with two front-line and one back-line member, along with a support-type character. The Hyacinth Squad has also adopted this composition, and now they have to add Sakuya, who specializes in mobility and reconnaissance. It is considered a classic configuration among magical girl squads around the world.

Albatross used to be the firepower type in the Crimson Snow Squad, which is the role now played by Iris and Lily—using various offensive magics to support the melee type and suppressing the opponent with firepower when appropriate.

However, as she disappeared from public view, people gradually forgot the fact that this veteran firepower-type magical girl displayed overwhelming firepower more than 20 years ago... until today.

"Barrier deployed!"

Albatross gripped her long-handled staff tightly with both hands, raising it high above her head. The golden cross at the tip of the staff shone with a dazzling greyish-white light, rapidly constructing countless small barriers around her.

From the expansive barrier that stretched across the sky, countless heavy firearms emerged, capable of spitting out flames.

.50 caliber heavy machine guns, 20mm autocannons, rocket launchers, thermobaric rockets, recoilless rifles, and even 122mm howitzers and 130mm cannons.

There are even two complete vertical launch tubes hidden inside the large barrier, through which you can see the terrifying steel that can tear the air at 10 times the speed of sound.

Each firearm was covered with a shimmering magical light, and even thoughtfully decorated with some girlish ribbons, leaving everyone who saw the true face of this storm of firepower speechless.

"What are those things?!" "Damn it! Get out of here! Don't step into the albatross' bombing zone!"

Dongqing was terrified by the scene of heavy metal filling the air, and Chixue quickly called out to the younger generation to leave.

Without the slightest hesitation, Tian Nanxing grabbed the completely stunned Dong Qing beside her and dragged her towards the edge of the giant umbrella-shaped umbrella as they ran. Along the way, she would reach out her dog paws and scratch the jellyfish-shaped umbrella-shaped umbrella a few times.

"Run, run, run, woof!!"

The barking of the big dogs in the Bern Mountains echoed through the snow-covered mountains.

The next second, the heavy weapons in the sky burst into brilliant and dazzling flames, turning into a sky full of stars, and raining down a heavy metal storm that tore everything apart!

Armor-piercing rounds, incendiary rounds, tracer rounds, high-explosive rounds—the enchanted charges of magically forged steel detonated, and a metal storm tore everything around them apart, leaving only scattered dust.

"Hahahaha! I finally got my chance! Die, you damn Kraken!"

"Woof woof woof woof! Woof woof!!" "How scary! Help!—"

The torrential rain of steel relentlessly pursued the two of them.

Tian Nanxing screamed and ran away desperately, while Dong Qing was also frightened and ran at the fastest speed she had ever seen since becoming a magical girl, in order to avoid being swept up by the merciless metal storm behind her.

Even the Zodiac Witch's offensive was temporarily halted under this barrage of firepower, and everyone stared blankly as the Albatross unleashed its heavy weapons—which didn't seem like something a magical girl would use—on the jellyfish—a rather dreamlike scene.

"...Wow."

Even Iris, standing in another firing position, couldn't help but sigh.

The Wheat Squad is hailed as the most ferocious heavy firepower team today, but in terms of truly short-duration burst damage, Albatross achieves parity with or even surpasses the Wheat Squad's instantaneous firepower projection in a unique way:

Use magic to control readily available heavy weapons, use magic to forge ammunition, and accumulate this firepower over a period of time by loading and storing it, so that it can be released all at once when needed.

This is what is known as "magazine firepower".

By the time the shelling subsided, the giant jellyfish's body was already tattered and mangled.

A huge, deep pit was carved out of the umbrella-like canopy, which stretched for tens of kilometers. The center of the pit had been hollowed out by the metallic rain, revealing the dark mountain forests below.

Its recovery speed seemed to be limited in some way—an invisible force prevented it from healing the deep pit. Its tentacles waved frantically, trying to draw magic power from the surrounding air, but all its struggles were in vain.

The suppression from the laws of time caused the jellyfish to lose its immortality.

It can no longer draw magic to restore itself as before, and can no longer form hydras from tiny fragments. The dust stirred up by the metal storm disperses into pure magic particles in the wind and dissipates into the empty void.

"Phew! I've done the lighting, the rest is up to you!"

Albatross let out a long breath, withdrew her barrier, put away the heavy firearms she had somehow acquired, winked at everyone, and immediately withdrew from the battlefield.

"How dare you say that! I'll beat you up later!" Chi Xue shouted angrily.

Lilac glanced silently at Albatross, then exchanged a look with Qiu Baiyang, who had promptly set up a magic shield for the two of them. Suddenly, she felt a little dazed... as if she had dreamt of twenty years ago.

Back then, the magical girls had just formed small teams to fight, and their tactics were far from mature. Everyone was gradually exploring different team configurations, resulting in all sorts of strange and even fancy team types and tactics.

There are pure melee three-man brute force teams, as well as rising stars like Wheat Ear White Lily who are composed only of firepower types, and even a heretical strategy of three support characters taking turns shielding the front row to slowly wear down the monster's magic power.

I wonder where Albatross learned that "grab whatever you want" fighting style from the furniture store. It couldn't have been from some Hong Kong action movie, could it? Lilac thought to herself.

With the albatross's burst of firepower finished, the battlefield returned to order.

Crimson Lilac charged forward, while Arisaema Holly expanded the battle line. They dodged and weaved among the jellyfish's tentacles to launch counterattacks. Each swing of their weapons severed a highly venomous tentacle, which was then precisely targeted and burned by Iris Lily and the others below.

The Zodiac Witches of Heart Moon Fox were equally eye-catching. Upgraded to the second generation, they displayed exceptionally terrifying combat power. Even Hyacinth, who was waiting in the back row to launch the final attack, swallowed hard and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the golden-haired fox girl who was seriously giving instructions.

She desperately wanted to rush up and confront Xin Yuehu: What's the meaning of developing these upgraded witches? Are you planning to use them against me?

But thinking that even if she actually rushed up there, she would most likely only get a response like "Hehe, guess what~", Hyacinth felt that she was just asking for trouble.

"Hyacinth! It's your turn!"

Seeing that the jellyfish's tentacles had been mostly cut off and it no longer had any strength to resist, Chi Xue turned around and shouted loudly to the two hyacinths hovering in the air waiting for orders.

The jet-black winged girl silently swooped down from the night sky and appeared. Hyacinth followed the magical path she had opened up. The guardian star shattered in her hand, turning into pure magic that merged into her body, and the star shone brightly!

Magical Girl Hyacinth☆Shining Star

【Super☆Nova!】

There were no fancy moves, no tedious pre-battle speeches, only a giant sword of light that stretched across the heavens and earth—slashing vertically.

The jellyfish's remains were shattered and ground to dust in the aftershocks of the supernova.

The wreckage burned and dissipated, turning into specks of light and fire.

Like a sky full of stars.
