Chapter 295 The advice of the death cutter
In the darkness, Han Xue's message struck like a blow to the head. The members of the Kikyo Judgment Team looked at each other, their moods instantly becoming heavy.
But when they thought about how they had always been unstoppable during this time, their spirits were suddenly rekindled.
"So what if they're just lowly Death Slayers? Hmph, our Kikyo Judgment Squad takes on the elite!"
Xia Qing paused, looked around, and a determined glint flashed in her eyes.
Then, a series of calm and composed words came out of her mouth.
"Qingju, you provide us with buffs and ranged attack assistance."
"Hanmei, your magic attribute is ice. See if you can slow down the speed of the Death Cutter."
"Xiao Qing, I remember Sister Violet once said that your affinity for the Holy Light attribute is the highest in our team. I'll be the main attacker, and you'll be in charge of dealing damage. Is that alright?"
"No problem."
Bai Youqing felt a pang of unease watching Xia Qing arrange the positions of each member of the Kikyo Judgment Team in such a short time.
As expected, there was a reason why Violet valued the other magical girls.
Xia Qing is better than her in every aspect. She is the only one who has been a complete failure from the beginning until now, like a good-for-nothing.
"Xiao Qing, stop daydreaming, we're preparing to attack!"
"Okay, Sister Xia Qing."
Bai Youqing slapped her forehead, forcing herself to stay alert, and fixed her gaze on the Grim Reaper in front of her.
Hearing Bai Youqing call her Sister Xia Qing again, Xia Qing smiled slightly and forced herself to cheer up. Although her face was full of confidence, her heart was also full of uncertainty and fear. The last time she heard of the name "Death Cutter" was during the Third Black Tide Crisis. The threat that the Death Cutter posed to humans and magical girls was no less than that of the Abyss Demon General.
To eliminate a single Death Cutter, it often takes several A-level Judgment teams to barely manage to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, one day their elite A-rank adjudication team would face such a terrifying abyssal beast.
"Gentle breeze, gentle breeze, heed my call; winds of the sky, obey this summons. Gather your strength, swift and light, bestow..."
Behind them, Li Xuanyu's chanted magic was like a clarion call for the Kikyo Judgment Squad's attack. With the amplification of Li Xuanyu's magic, their attack speed was several times faster than before, and their bodies were also much lighter.
Under the moonlight, Han Xue's figure streaked across the sky like a shooting star, quickly rising into the high sky.
As the Frost Spear began to appear in her hand, a cool atmosphere gradually spread, and a faint chill seemed to permeate the air.
She closed her eyes tightly, waved her hands gently, and chanted incantations, like a conductor leading an invisible symphony.
Moments later, the temperature around them plummeted, and crystal-clear snowflakes began to fall, initially sparse, then gradually denser, eventually forming a spectacular snowfall.
Every snowflake here contains Han Xue's ice-attribute magic.
"Frozen Domain!"
Han Xue's clear voice rang out in the air. These beautiful snowflakes instantly swirled and condensed in the air, forming a huge white net-like structure that covered most of the area around the Grim Reaper Cutter.
This network of ice crystals is not only beautiful but also powerful. Once touched, it immediately triggers a slowing effect, causing any target that gets caught in it to move slowly or even stop.
While Han Xue was making her move, Xia Qing was not idle either. She took a deep breath, and her magic power began to surge and concentrate on the tip of the spear in her hand. There, a small flame was quietly growing. In the darkness, the flaming spear tightly held by Xia Qing was like the first ray of sunlight at dawn.
"Judgment of Flames!"
With Xia Qing's shout, the small flame that had condensed on the tip of the spear instantly expanded, transforming into a raging inferno, like an eruption of magma. Each burst left a trail of intense heat in the night sky, dyeing everything around it with a golden-red glow, before rushing towards the Death Cutter.
On the battlefield, the magical attacks of the Kikyo Judgment Squad illuminated the dark and silent Jiefang South Road as if it were daytime. Bai Youqing stood under the bright light. Han Xue's ice magic seemed to have taken effect. The Death Cutter moved slowly under her frost power and was caught off guard by Xia Qing's sudden magical attack.
The Death Cutters seemed to want to dodge, but Xia Qing's precise shooting gave them almost no chance to escape.
Each blazing bullet struck its target precisely, causing not only direct damage but also triggering a chain reaction. Bodies slowed by frost were instantly ignited upon contact with the flames, transforming into the most dazzling and deadliest sparks in the night.
It was time for her to deliver the final blow.
[Holy Light Piercing]
Bai Youqing's figure silently appeared behind the Death Cutter. A surge of green holy power flowed from her magic core, condensed on the tip of her sword, and then pierced the Death Cutter's head with astonishing speed and accuracy.
She had never heard of the Death Cutter, but she was very familiar with the weaknesses of the Abyss Cutter. In the lessons Violet had taught her, the Abyss Cutter was the most frequently mentioned Abyss Beast.
This move can penetrate most protective magic and inflict fatal damage on enemies.
As she swung her sword, it drew graceful arcs in the air, creating shattered fragments of light and shadow.
In the darkness, the dazzling light gradually faded. Whether it was Xia Qing's Judgment of Flames or Bai Youqing's Holy Light Piercing from behind, they only left a few white marks on the black armor of the Death Cutter.
The opponent was not harmed in the slightest. As the dark figure gradually approached, the members of the Kikyo Judgment Squad felt an overwhelming and terrifying pressure for the first time in their lives, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Under the bright moonlight, the figure of the Grim Reaper Cutter was perfectly revealed. Its body shape resembled a hybrid of a spider and a mantis, with two crab-claw-like limbs at the front. Judging from the serrated protrusions on the inside of the claws, its destructive power was obviously extremely terrifying.
The sickle-shaped arms on its back stand tall, like rows of sharp swords, sending chills down one's spine.
Its body was covered with many strange black organs that emitted a faint purple glow in the darkness, like twinkling stars, adding to the mystery of this terrifying creature.
But more than anything else, the magical girl's gaze was focused on the wings hidden behind the Death Cutter, which was likely to be able to fly again!
In the darkness, Death Cutter Number Four shuddered his body. This feeling was really good. The massage from these whetstones was just right, striking every part of his body very comfortably.
But now that the other party has come out, it's only right that he reciprocate by giving these whetstones a gift in return.
In the eyes of the Kikyo Judgment Squad, the black shadow suddenly moved. Its massive body did not affect its speed at all, and they could not even see its movement trajectory.
So fast!
Roar!
The figure of the Grim Reaper suddenly appeared in front of Bai Youqing. With a fierce swing of his scythe arm, a green protective shield quickly appeared next to the green figure, but it still could not prevent her from being directly knocked away, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater. Her fate was unknown.
"asshole!"
Xia Qing's anger was like the last calm before a volcanic eruption, which then transformed into boundless power. Her beautiful eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit, and she charged towards the Grim Reaper before her like an arrow released from a bow. The flaming spear in her hand emitted a scorching aura, aiming directly at the weakest point of the opponent's defenses.
"Armor-piercing!"
Xia Qing let out a sharp shout, and his magical power surged, flowing into the spear.
The fiery red spear, carrying an unparalleled momentum, slammed into the gaps in the Grim Reaper's armor, attempting to pierce through this seemingly indestructible defense in one fell swoop.
However, despite Xia Qing's best efforts, the spear only managed to penetrate half a foot before encountering an invisible barrier and being unable to advance any further.
"Again!"
Xia Qing poured all her strength into it, the veins on her slender arms bulging. She gritted her teeth, exhaled a large breath of hot air, and suddenly raised the flaming spear, thrusting it back into the same spot once more.
With a clang, the hard force was transmitted back from the bottom through the gun barrel.
Xia Qing couldn't help but...
At this moment, Han Xue and Li Xuanyu also quickly arrived at the side of the Grim Reaper. Han Xue's expression suddenly changed, and she reminded, "Xia Qing, quickly dodge!" Before she could finish speaking, a black spike suddenly shot out from behind the Grim Reaper, like a scorpion's tail, and lashed towards Xia Qing's back.
The fiery red figure was instantly blasted away by the black spike, its fate unknown.
"You must die!"
This ignited the fury in Li Xuanyu and Han Xue's hearts, and their surging killing intent rushed towards the abyssal beast—the Death Cutter—like a tidal wave.
Li Xuanyu's elemental powers of wind, fire, thunder, and ice all appeared beneath the feet of the Death Cutter. At this moment, the Frost Spear in Han Xue's hand unleashed an unusual magical fluctuation, and a giant dragon formed from ice and snow slowly emerged, circling and dancing around the ice spear.
With a clear shout from Han Xue, the ice dragon broke free of the ice spear, carrying a biting cold wind and an oppressive aura, and charged straight at the Death Cutter.
Whoosh!
A dark figure flashed, and almost the instant Li Xuanyu's magic circle was completed, his figure had already disappeared. It should be noted that Li Xuanyu's speed in chanting magic circles was extremely fast; none of the magical girls the Kikyo Judgment Squad had ever seen could compare to her.
However, she failed today.
Fortunately, Li Xuanyu's attack failed, but Han Xue's ice dragon kept its jaws on the Death Cutter. However, the Death Cutter seemed not to see it. Its figure flickered slightly, and each flicker was unpredictable.
This forced Han Xue, who was controlling the ice dragon, to be on high alert. A few seconds later, just as her ice dragon was about to collide with the black figure, the massive figure of the Death Cutter suddenly disappeared, and in its place appeared Li Xuanyu's pale blue figure.
"No, no good!"
By the time Han Xue noticed this, Li Xuanyu had already been violently knocked away by the ice dragon.
Before she could even understand Li Xuanyu's situation, the dark figure that was just a moment ago appeared behind her. The terrifying scythe arm was like the scythe of death, and with just a light swing towards her body, Han Xue's figure flew away instantly.
In just a few rounds, Kikyo's Judgment Squad was wiped out.
Under the bright moonlight, after defeating these magical girls, the Grim Reaper did not press his advantage to deliver a fatal blow. Instead, he stood there quietly, like a conqueror, silently scrutinizing the defeated generals—the four magical girls—below his feet.
After a while, the Grim Reaper's crimson gaze turned back to Naraku Hoshi, who was standing to the side.
Through his blurred vision, the latter could read a hint of disdain and mockery, like a cynical child who, after getting tired of his old toys, turned his attention to new ones.
Several strange syllables seemed to come out of the Grim Reaper's mouth.
In the desolate darkness, it seemed particularly eerie.
However, Narakuhoshi's mind was not on that at the moment. Instead, she looked at the magical girl juniors who had been knocked away by the Death Slayers, and her expression was somewhat complicated.
On the surface, the fate of these magical girls is unknown, but she can clearly sense that their physical condition is not affected; they have simply fainted.
Otherwise, she would have intervened when Bai Youqing was attacked.
This strange feeling became even more pronounced in the later battles.
The battle between this Abyssal Beast and the Kikyo Judgment Squad could hardly be called a battle.
That was clearly a one-sided toying. The Grim Reaper was even worried about breaking these "toys," so the scythe arms that sent them flying were all swung with the back of their blades.
This bizarre situation was the first time Narakuhoshi had ever encountered anything like it.
"Hey, you female insect, you were very rude just now, you know that?"
Just then, the Grim Reaper suddenly spoke, and surprisingly, it was in human language. Although the voice was somewhat hoarse, the general syllables were very clear.
"You...you can talk?"
Naraku Hoshi was completely astonished this time. Having been a magical girl for so long, this was the first time she had ever heard an Abyss Beast speak.
"This is nothing. Not only can I speak the language of Xia Kingdom, but I can also speak the languages of insects such as America and Ross. Princess Huan Die once said that life is about learning, so as long as I am alive, I will never stop learning."
At this point, the Grim Reaper paused, his tone suddenly becoming stern and serious: "Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that you, as the Star Fury Force of Princess Illusion Butterfly, cannot understand the Abyss Language. Your professional conduct as a Star Fury Force is truly poor."
Nai Luoxing: "...
3
Narakuhoshi wanted to refute, but then seemed to think that what the other party said wasn't wrong.
Seeing Narakuhoshi's hesitant expression, the Death Cutter tapped his head, pulled out a black book from under one of his dark armor plates, and tossed it in front of Narakuhoshi. "Here, I have a manual in the Abyss Language. Study it carefully."
Then, with a tone that suggested he was a promising student, he added:
"As a subordinate of Princess Huan Die, you should know how to solve her problems, instead of being a useless vase, understand?"
When you have free time, you can gather more information about the insect world. You don't have to use these things, but you can't be without them.
Just as Princess Huan Die said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." The more information we gather, the more likely Princess Huan Die will need it someday. Then, gaining her favor will be a piece of cake, won't it?
Nai Luoxing: ".—"
After saying this, the Death Cutter left, but Naraku Hoshi actually sensed a trace of the melancholy aura of invincibility emanating from him.
Naraku Star Mage stared at the other person's back, speechless for a long time. She never thought that one day she would be mocked as illiterate and a vase by an ugly, writhing abyssal monster. More importantly, she actually felt that what the other person said made some sense.
Suddenly, she felt an urge to kill the abyssal beast. It wasn't just that the terrifying power the Death Cutter had just displayed posed a huge threat to human society, but also that she felt that if she really went to the abyss in the future and it came down to who was more favored by her master, she might not be as good as the beast.
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!
Naraku Hoshi quickly dismissed this absurd idea. Looking at the unconscious magical girl juniors scattered on the ground, she sighed. She still had to find a way to bring these girls back.
