My brother couldn't be a corrupted magical girl.

Chapter 391 Protecting One's Own

The atmosphere in the sky had reached a point of extreme tension.

Between the Sakura Mage and the Death Slayer, there was not a single superfluous word. Almost instantly, the abyssal aura carrying endless gloom and terror collided fiercely with the warm and gentle pink holy power. Each collision of magic was accompanied by a dazzling burst of light, illuminating the originally pitch-black night sky as bright as day, making everything around them impossible to hide.

Meanwhile, the magical girl judges around them weren't just standing there dumbfounded; their gazes were firmly fixed on Bai Xiaolong and Sylvia, who were resting and recuperating not far away.

They couldn't just stand by and watch their opponent recover their strength, so the next moment, they also made their move.

Boom!

Boom!

After seeing the surrounding mages attacking Bai Xiaolong and Sylvia, the cherry blossom mage above regained her focus and began to concentrate on dealing with the Grim Reaper Cutter in front of her.

She didn't know if the Grim Reaper Cutter and the Demoness Illusion Butterfly were connected, but since they had come to rescue the two Abyss Calamity Beasts, they were most likely connected.

Since that's the case, if I can kill these three Abyss Calamity Beasts today, then I can say that I have completely severed the left and right arms of Demoness Illusion Butterfly.

With that thought in mind, the Sakura Magician no longer hesitated.

In a dazzling light, the Cherry Blossom Cutter in her hand transformed into a snow-white short bow, radiating a soft and holy glow.

"Prepare to meet your death, you lackey of the Demon Princess Phantom Butterfly!"

The cherry blossom mage stared at the Grim Reaper before her, her eyes instantly becoming incredibly sharp.

She transformed from a gentle and agile magical girl into a battle goddess who descended to earth.

Several pure white talismans floated around her, each containing extremely strong holy power; even from a distance, one could feel the oppressive force emanating from them.

"Break the demon!"

As she raised her hand to nock the bow, her cherry lips parted slightly, and in an instant, a dazzling pink arrow appeared out of thin air between her two fingers.

This arrow of light emitted a dense magical energy, as if it contained boundless power, and the surrounding air trembled slightly at its appearance.

However, even after the arrow was fired, the woman dressed in the shrine maiden's uniform didn't pause for a moment, shouting, "Seal!"

"Armor-piercing!"

"Soul Destroyer!"

Six arrows, each gleaming with the same light, shot toward the Death Cutter before them. These arrows were fired at different angles, but their target was always the same: the Abyssal Beast before them.

Death Cutter:

""

When it saw the other party transform the katana in its hand into a bow and arrow, a knot suddenly formed in its heart. This feeling was all too familiar. Wasn't it just like that when it was in Yeqiu City, it was instantly killed by that damned bug?

From then on, it suffered from the same ailment as the Abyss Titan: PTSD, a condition caused by being shot by arrows.

The Grim Reaper raised its head, gazing at the deadly trap created by the six arrows before it, without a single thought of trying to withstand it.

Even if it did, the Kikyo mage had already taught it to be a beast last time. Fortunately, before coming to Japan this time, it spent a lot of time and energy studying how to resist such a powerful attack from the Kikyo mage.

Death Strikes

Almost at the instant that overwhelming, tidal wave of death threat surged forth, jet-black abyssal energy surged from its body, instantly weaving a colossal black vortex in front of it, like an entrance to an endless abyss. The surrounding light seemed to be pulled by an invisible giant hand, all being swallowed into the dark vortex.

As the six magical arrows, shimmering with pink light, hurtled towards them, the black vortex blocking the Grim Reaper's path unleashed a powerful suction force, like a hungry beast opening its jaws, attempting to suck all the arrows into it at once.

At the same time, the Death Cutter's own body underwent a strange change, its massive form gradually becoming illusory, eventually transforming into a thick, almost tangible shadow.

Under the powerful suction, two of the six arrows were mercilessly sucked into the black hole.

However, the other four arrows easily broke through the suction force and once again attacked the Death Cutter at an astonishing speed.

Shadow Teleportation

Just as the four magical arrows were about to strike, the Death Cutter unhesitatingly used his Shadow Teleportation ability.

In an instant, a flash of light appeared where it was, and its entire figure vanished from the spot, leaving only an empty space.

Almost simultaneously, at another location hundreds of meters away, the shadowy mass coalesced once more, and the Death Cutter slowly emerged from it, emanating an abyssal aura. It could clearly see that one of the four arrows was still shooting into the sky without looking back, while the other pure white arrows paused slightly.

The next second, the arrows simultaneously changed direction and hurtled towards the Death Cutter once again.

The Death Cutter thought for a moment. This time, it did not dodge again. In fact, when it was hit by four arrows, it felt that its body should be able to withstand it. However, after thinking about it, it decided to reduce the number of arrows by one just in case, just to be on the safe side.

Now, the Death Cutter has successfully deflected three of the six deadly arrows. As for the remaining three, the Death Cutter has decided to take them head-on and prepare for a face-to-face close-quarters battle with the Sakura Magician.

If it remains at a long distance, it will only become a sitting duck for the enemy to shoot at at will.

Previously, it had a brief encounter with Pet Number One's sister, the magician Kikyo, and it's true that the other's ranged attack methods were very powerful.

Based on common sense, opponents who excel at ranged attacks are often relatively weak in close combat.

Although this is just speculation, the actual situation is unclear.

However, the Grim Reaper decided to give it a try, starting with the Sakura Mage in front of him, hoping to gain combat experience from her before settling scores with Kikyo Mage.

As for why she wanted to settle accounts with the other party, it was because it firmly believed that it was the strongest familiar of Princess Phantom Butterfly and would never allow anyone to take away its unique position in Princess Phantom Butterfly's heart.

Even if Princess Huan Die likes that pet, it's not allowed!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

As the three arrows approached like lightning, an extremely dense abyssal aura surged around the Death Cutter. This aura continuously condensed on its thick, hard armor, making the Death Cutter look like a demon knight crawling out of hell from afar.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Three loud explosions rang out in succession. Almost at the same moment that the Death Cutter completed its defensive preparations, three arrows slammed into its defenses.

In an instant, a dazzling pink light burst forth, so intense that it seemed to eclipse the entire world, and everything in the world lost its color at that moment.

Just as the Grim Reaper had predicted, the three arrows did not cause it any damage, and even failed to break through its carefully constructed protective shield.

This result left Death Cutter somewhat disappointed.

In its view, if the opponent could break through its protective shield, it would mean that the opponent's strength was comparable to that of Kikyo, the magician.

In this way, it can accumulate a wealth of practical experience in this battle, and when it faces Kikyo the Magician again in the future, it will be able to fully understand its opponent and thus be invincible in every battle.

However, the power displayed by the Sakura Magician in front of it at the moment does not seem to be worth its attention and emphasis.

Thinking of this, the Grim Reaper slowly turned its hideous head, its gaze fixed on the Sakura Mage, its tone tinged with contempt: "Is this all you've got for your so-called ultimate technique?" After a pause, the Grim Reaper continued: "Back in Yeqiu City, I also encountered a magical girl wielding a bow and arrow. With just one arrow, she forced me back into the Abyss Pool."

Sakura Magica:

""

Upon hearing this, the Sakura Mage's brows furrowed sharply. But instead of immediately refuting her, she suddenly looked up at the sky.

Upon seeing this, the Death Cutter felt a sudden tightness in its chest, and an ominous premonition surged into its heart. It instinctively wanted to use its teleportation skill again to escape from this place, but it was already too late.

The arrow that was initially shot into the sky drew a huge arc in the air and suddenly attacked the most private and vulnerable excretory part of the Grim Reaper like a ghost.

"Destruction - Fallen Stars and Fallen Cherry Blossoms!"

With a soft shout, the arrow formed from the convergence of dazzling starlight appeared in the world.

Trailing a long, shimmering tail, it resembled a shooting star streaking across the night sky, carrying immense, world-destroying power as it hurtled toward the Grim Reaper.

Wherever the arrows went, killing intent filled the air, and an aura of destruction swept across the sky, as if to destroy everything in the world.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow, imbued with boundless power, pierced straight into the Grim Reaper's weakest point and passed right through it!

Then, the colorful cherry blossoms slowly drifted down, like a beautiful dream.

The cherry blossom mage's pink eyes watched silently as the massive body plummeted straight down from the sky, but her face showed no trace of triumphant joy.

Because the words the Grim Reaper uttered before his death were more painful than killing her.

If it were the Abyss Demoness mocking her, that would be one thing, but now, this Death Cutter is also coming to mock her. What does that mean? Are they all trying to get revenge on her?

Time ticked by, but the Sakura Magician never saw the Death Slayer dissipate into abyssal particles and vanish into the sky as usual.

Her expression changed drastically in an instant. Without hesitation, she drew her bow again, pouring all her magic power into it, determined to deliver a fatal blow and send it to its demise.

However, just as she was about to release the bowstring at the critical moment, a clear and melodious voice, yet tinged with a hint of chill, echoed in her ear: "Stop! If you shoot this arrow, all these magical girls will have to pay with their lives for my little Si~"

His words were extremely languid, yet they conveyed an indescribable terror and anger.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the Sakura Magician's hands trembled violently, and the arrow she was holding almost flew out of control.

She quickly turned her head, only to find that the situation had completely reversed from the beginning. Originally, the magical girls were in a situation where they had everything under control and were sure to win, but now, the Demon Princess Phantom Butterfly was wielding a scythe and swinging it wildly. Every swing carried a chilling aura, and she could take down someone with almost one strike.

Behind her followed closely an orange slime, which looked clumsy but had a kind of honest and simple nature.

Whenever the Demoness Butterfly knocks a magical girl unconscious, this slime quickly steps forward and swallows her whole.

Looking at it now, the slime's round belly is already filled with all sorts of magical girls.

Meanwhile, the wisteria mage, who had been invited by the cherry blossom mage to help, was also defeated and fell onto the grass.

The once elegant and gorgeous pale purple demonic gown was now tattered and torn in many places, fluttering in the wind. Her skin was stained with blood, and she lay motionless, her fate unknown.

Witnessing this cruel scene, the Sakura Magician clenched her fists so tightly that her fingertips dug into her flesh, yet she seemed to feel no pain whatsoever.

"Damn it, let them go!"

"Don't rush me~"

The corners of Huandie's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. She slowly reached out and directly into the slime's stomach, gently stroking the face of a magical girl dressed in a pure white dress. The movement seemed gentle, yet it exuded endless threat.

"Release my Xiao Si, and I'll release these magical girls," Huan Die said calmly.

"impossible!"

The cherry blossom mage responded decisively, her eyes filled with resolve.

"Oh, really? How about I kill a few cute magical girls to broaden your horizons?"

As Huan Die spoke, her face suddenly turned cold, and her eyes, which had been smiling, instantly became icy and piercing.

Her hand suddenly gripped another magical girl dressed in blue, her fingers tightening as if she were about to snap her neck at any moment.

"Don't touch me, I'll release him!"

Seeing that Demon Princess Illusion Butterfly was actually preparing to make a move, Sakura Magician instantly became anxious. She glared at Demon Princess Illusion Butterfly with resentment, her teeth grinding together.

"I can release them, but why should I believe you can guarantee the safety of these magical girls after I release the Death Cutter?"

"The previous two times I said I'd let go, I did. When have I ever broken my promise?"

Hearing that the Sakura Mage had softened her stance, Phantom Butterfly's tone became much gentler, even a little aggrieved: "I never thought that even now, you still wouldn't trust me. This really hurts me, boohoo~"

The Sakura Magician coldly stared at the other party, who remained motionless, until Phantom Butterfly, looking bored, dropped her nonchalant smile. "But since you're my most beloved magical girl, how about this: I'll release half of the magical girls first, and then you can put away your own magical artifact."

The cherry blossom mage gritted her teeth and reluctantly agreed.

"it is good."

Huan Die turned her head away, while Aquarius behind her still looked somewhat reluctant to part. However, upon noticing Huan Die's gaze, she immediately blew the magical girl out like a bubble.

Huan Die turned her head again and looked directly at the cherry blossom magician in front of her.

The Sakura Mage looked at the Death Cutter, who was so close that a single blow would be enough to kill her, and then glanced at the magical girl inside the slime's belly. Her heart was filled with resentment and anger, but in the end, she put away the magic device.

Seeing this, Huan Die glanced at Sylvia beside her.

Sylvia understood immediately and quickly ran over, carefully carrying the Grim Reaper back with her.

After confirming several times that the Death Slayer had not been left with any hidden tricks by the Sakura Mage, Phantom Butterfly nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that the phantom butterfly nodded, the water bottle behind her obediently spat out the rest of the magical girls.

Upon seeing this, the Sakura Magician immediately flew forward, tightly protecting the unconscious magical girls behind her, her eyes warily fixed on the Phantom Butterfly.

"Alright, let's talk about the next condition. Do you see that pale purple magical girl over there? If you can beat me, I'll let her go; if you lose, you won't get a third chance~"

A sly smile curled at the corners of Huan Die's lips, her eyes gleaming with amusement.

"You bastard, didn't you just say you'd released all the magical girls?"

The cherry blossom mage angrily accused, her pink eyes filled with rage.

"Yeah, I meant all the magical girls inside the slime's belly were there, but this magical girl is outside the slime's belly~"

Huan Die looked at the Sakura Magician with an innocent expression, but her eyes revealed a hint of sincerity.

"asshole!"

The cherry blossom mage trembled with rage and cursed again.

"So, are you going to agree or not? If not, I'll just kill her right now. You beat three of my men half to death today, and I'm seething with anger!"

As Huan Die spoke, her deep purple eyes narrowed dangerously, and the anger within them was clearly visible, not feigned.

Xiao Si's injury today has put her in a very bad mood. If the other party doesn't agree to her request, she really might kill someone. Although it won't include Ning Zixuan and Bai Chaxiazi, she doesn't want to let any of the other magical girls go.

Sensing the surging, chilling killing intent emanating from the Phantom Butterfly, the Sakura Mage felt a chill run down her spine and hurriedly shouted, "Fine, I'll fight you!"

"That's more like it!"

The phantom butterfly smiled with satisfaction.
