Proving one's status starting with magical girls

"Senior, is there anything you'd like to ask?"

"Are you sure they can still talk like that?"

"Um, it doesn't seem like that will work..."

"Okay, let's just take them out then."

The golden magical girl nodded, walked up to the demon, and gathered a dazzling light in her hand.

Bai Chi didn't make a move, since her magic power hadn't actually been replenished much after her second transformation.

In this situation, it would be best to let Bai Yu deal with the two cadres now.

"I'm sorry, if there's a next life, please remember not to side with the Demon Angel again."

With her golden hair flowing, Bai Yu's eyes gradually sharpened. She clenched the light in her palm and unleashed a punch with astonishing magical power.

But at that moment, the demon who had been silent all along suddenly opened the third eye on his forehead.

With a single movement, the eyeball was sliced ​​into several pieces by the gold wires attached to it. Grayish viscous substance seeped from the surface of the eyeball, but it did not affect its movement.

Bai Chi's expression changed. He was about to say not to look at it, but it was too late.

That eye was fixed on the golden magical girl, who felt a sudden flash of light before her eyes when their gazes met.

Looking around, there was no demon in sight, only a cloud of auspicious energy rising!

She was taken aback for a moment, and the magic power she had accumulated in her hand unconsciously loosened a bit, so when she hit the demon, it only made it groan.

Then, her vision blurred, and a streak of platinum light brushed past her side.

Just as the beam of light was about to strike Fu Xun, a silver mist instantly enveloped the demon's entire body, causing the beam of light to miss its target.

A golden robe suddenly appeared before Bai Yu's eyes. This time she reacted and used her magic to punch the robe.

"boom!"

The golden robe was not shattered as expected. Instead, Bai Yu's punch, imbued with magic, caused it to vibrate, and then golden rain began to fall from it.

The magical girl said in astonishment.

"【Hua Cijin】?"

The golden robe was draped with her music, "Farewell to the Golden Flower"!

Amidst a golden rain, the robe gradually returned to its original form, revealing itself to be a tattered red robe!

Then a blood-red longsword, gleaming with a cold light, pierced straight through the robe. Magic White Rain quickly retreated, and the longsword was also withdrawn in the process.

A gray-haired figure stood before the demon, sword in hand, as the red robe gradually fell onto her.

Upon seeing who it was, both magical girls were startled.

"Witch Chang Xiao!"

"You! Even in this state, you can still move!"

Bai Yu was somewhat frightened after seeing her figure clearly.

"…Pooh."

The gray-haired witch did not answer them immediately. She swallowed hard and then spat out a pool of golden blood.

The golden blood splattered onto the riddled ground, instantly exploding into countless golden threads, which then transformed into fine specks of light in the air.

Her condition was extremely dire; her clothes were tattered, her entire right cheek had been shaved off with gold thread, and her left arm was missing, causing the two men to gasp in horror.

The witch Changxiao raised her still-movable hand, wiped the remaining golden blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, and looked up at the two magical girls standing in the golden ruins.

"...What a fine example of 'flower farewell to gold'."

Her voice carried a gust of wind, literally, since her entire throat had been cut off.

The mutilated flesh on the witch's face writhed, slowly expelling the golden threads that had pierced her face. Then, muscle tissue intertwined and repaired her body like threads.

"If it weren't for the blood-red robe bestowed upon me by the Grand Duke, I, the witch Changxiao, would probably have fallen into your hands today."

She looked at the tattered, obviously useless red robe she was wearing and said with some regret.

The witch glanced at the demon beside her, who was still unable to move, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Heh, as expected, in this respect, the general's demons are no match for us witches."

"How can a half-mechanized body compare to my body, blessed by the Grand Duke?"

Fu Xun: "..."

Although both demons and witches are Apostle executives, they rarely work together in harmony.

The half-modified mechanical body gave the demon great strength and physique, but it lacked the physical regeneration ability of a witch.

In other words, it was restrained.

But little did it know that the witch's survival was not easy either.

If it weren't for the protection of the mercury lamp, and the fact that she used her red robe to cover half her body at the crucial moment and shifted her heart to the right side, she would probably have been reduced to a skeleton by the gold thread long ago.

"Magical White Rain, I remember your original magical girl name was Golden Rain, right?"

"It was only later, for someone else, that you changed the gold to white."

Despite being in a very bad state, the witch Chang Xiao was still handling things with ease.

Bai Yu's face darkened.

"What are you trying to say?"

"What I mean is, you can't use the melody anymore."

The witch stretched out a terrifying smile across half of her face.

"Witch, you're mistaken. There are no such restrictions on playing music," Bai Chi said coldly.

"No, no, no, what I mean is..."

"Magic White Rain, if you use the melody again, the person you care about most won't be able to find a loophole anymore."

Chang Xiao shrugged, while Bai Yu's expression changed.

She glanced at her senior colleague beside her, who frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought.

"..."

Well, Bai Yu had to admit she was right.

She would never hurt Senior Bai Chi under any circumstances.

Seeing that she had guessed correctly, the witch pretended to be relaxed and said.

"In that case, how about we each compromise and pretend nothing happened today?"

This wasn't because she gave in; it was because she was truly out of options.

Although she was 90% certain that once the fight started, the opposing Magic Blaze would definitely not be able to hold on and would revert to human form, thus temporarily losing the ability to transform, and even if it wanted to transform a second time, it would not be able to do so.

Unfortunately, her powerful general was also banned and taken offline. Given Fu Xun's current state, if it were to force its way out, Chang Xiao had no doubt that it would instantly shatter into a jumbled mess of metal and flesh.

"...You want to run away?"

The witch was somewhat helpless.

"If you want to fight, I'm happy to oblige."

"But the fate of that magical blaze beside you probably won't be too good."

She picked up the blood-red longsword with some chips and said coldly.

Faced with this blatant threat, Bai Yu subconsciously looked at the senior beside her, but the latter only nodded slightly to her.

Go for it!

"…good."

"Excellent, that's more like what a Shining-level magical girl should be like!"

"Witch! Let's pretend nothing happened today!"

"? 』

Hearing this, the witch finally felt relieved.

A smile appeared on her face, and the only remaining intact mercury lamp at her waist released a burst of silvery mist.

"Well then, it's been a pleasure working together. We, the apostles, will take our leave now."

After the witch finished speaking, the silver mist enveloped her and the demon, and instantly carried them away at high speed.

The mercury mist flew along, about to enter the magical space, when a soft voice sounded in her ear.

The silver mist instantly dissipated, and the witch's body returned to the material world.

Before them was still that familiar golden battlefield, and the two magical girls were still standing in the same spot. They were both stunned when they saw her and the demon reappear.

Before the witch could even think, a fair hand gently rested on her shoulder, startling her.

A figure as beautiful as a fairy appeared behind her and spoke softly.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait."

And then, in the next instant, the moon and water were in perfect harmony.
