Chapter 19: Conflict of Beliefs
Follow the remnants of the demon's breath to a familiar place.
The previous battle with Xiao Meiyan caused the entire abandoned building to collapse, and the ruins have not been cleaned up yet, just a warning mark around the outside.
(It's here, though...... )
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, compared to the faint aura of the demon, there was another aura that was much more powerful here.
(Witch?) )
Suddenly, the surrounding scenery twisted wildly, and for a short moment, it was as if you had arrived in another world.
The sky was pitch black, but the scene below was still clearly visible, and the ground was occupied by jagged flowers, and the clatter of teeth kept coming, approaching Lin Xuan, who was surrounded in the center.
(Speaking of which, this is the first time that the Witch has always faced...... )
Looking around, no one was involved except himself.
(So, let's test it out)
Close your eyes.
Cold thoughts that seem to freeze the body.
Gene Lock: One stage opens, characteristics: enhanced confirmation, and all attributes are doubled during the duration.
Suddenly opened.
Time seems to slow down, and every detail of the closing of the flower's teeth can be clearly seen, and even the hidden one is the witch!
"Trample—"
The ground collapsed violently, and the flowers that approached were directly crushed by the huge force, and the debris scattered in the air was scattered, and a faint fragrance poured into the mouth and nose.
A slight numbness came from the limbs.
(Poison?) )
With his left hand, he drew the runic heavy sword behind his back and lowered the center of his body.
"Roundabout—"
Brief stagnation.
"Quack quack--"
With the piercing scream of the flowers, within the surrounding fifty meters, the part that was more than ten centimeters above the ground was directly cut off by the sharp sword qi, and the remaining momentum sank into the ground, separating another empty circle on the ground.
The hidden witch couldn't hold back any longer, and drilled directly out of the ground under Lin Xuan's feet - bite.
Click.
"Night Impact—"
The giant flower with its mouth just closed, suddenly its face distorted and its mouth grown, and the pitch-black beam of light broke through its head, as if dividing the world, drawing a deep trajectory, straight into the sky.
Flipping his body, the moment he landed, the surroundings had returned to their original appearance, and a pitch-black sphere fell to the ground.
Lin Xuan picked it up gently.
(Seeds of Lamentation...... )
I don't know if it's an illusion, a seed of lamentation - its appearance bears quite a bit of similarity to the soul gem.
―――――― Split ――――――
The next day, Lin Xuan spent the day searching for a witch.
At present, there are no tasks or short-term goals, and only witch hunting and collecting the seeds of sorrow can be done, the former increases experience, albeit rarely, and the latter is motivated by some kind of consideration - maybe, it will be useful one day?
Evening.
"Ahh
"It's been so long that there's no way to follow the trail of last night's demon." Cuppy said on the side.
Lin Xuan showed an "embarrassing" smile: "I'm sorry, I lost it last night"
"It's okay, it's okay" Miki Sayaka showed a hearty smile and said nonchalantly, "We're all just newbies, this kind of thing is normal"
"Well, it's not Lin Xuan's fault," Madoka Kamei comforted.
"Now, we already have two magical girls - ah, no, a magical girl and a magical boy, even if it's a witch, it's absolutely fine!" It seems that because of the addition of a companion who can fight side by side, the anxiety and fear in Miki Sayaka's heart have dissipated a lot.
"If that guy came yesterday, I won't let her go!" To this day, Sayaka Miki still misses Kyoko Sakura.
"That, Sayaka-chan...... It's to deal with witches that you became a magical girl, right? That kid wasn't a witch...... It's also a magical girl. Mayaka Kame said with a sudden hesitation.
“……”
"It's the same to become a magical girl to deal with witches.,Why do you have to fight?,I think as long as you work hard to find it.,There must be a way to get along.。 Although the methods are different, they all want to hunt witches, right? Yesterday's kid...... Also, Flame Sauce is too."
"Quarrel......"
At this time, Sayaka-chan said with a slight smile.
"Yesterday's one, in Madoka's opinion, was it just a quarrel?"
“…… Huh? ”
"That's a real knife and a real gun. At first, they just couldn't get used to each other, and halfway through the fight, that guy or me really wanted to kill each other. ”
"That's ...... It's even worse......"
"So go and talk to her? Don't be stupid! The other party is a guy who will use humans as fodder for the seeds of sorrow, how can you give in to her? ”
"But...... But. ”
"Listen up, Madoka. Although the demon who escaped yesterday is a small character, it can also kill. That guy might be Madoka's father or mother next, or maybe Tatsuya-kun would be either. Does Madoka feel okay like this? Will you forgive the guy who let it go? ”
“……”
"As for me, not only to fight the witch, but also to protect the important people who crave this power. So, if there are humans worse than witches - I'm going to fight. Even if the other party is a magical girl. ”
"Forget it" Lin Xuan was helpless, so he had to stand up to stop the quarrel between the two: "Everyone has their own opinions, if you meet her when the time comes, try to communicate first, if it doesn't work, ......"
glanced at the two of them: "I can only fight, after all, I can't really let her use humans to raise demons"
“…… Hmmm"
"I got it......"
Fruitless overnight.
"Really, I ran away when I was working hard," complained Sayaka Miki, who had recovered.
"There's no way around it. The birth of witches is also not very frequent, and in total, there are already four witch hunters in the city, which is quite common," Kuppy explained with a wagging tail.
“…… Sure enough, it is still necessary to expel those two magical girls from other places" Listening to Miki Sayaka's tone, doesn't it sound like a joke?
Probably because of Lin Xuan's appearance, it gave her too much confidence...... Maybe she just thinks that two people must be able to fight one, so they can deal with Xiao Meiyan and Sakura Kyoko separately.
Lin Xuan sighed in his heart.
Not to mention whether Lin Xuan will deal with the "temporary ally" Xiao Meiyan, if he really wants to fight, won't Sakura Kyoko and Xiao Meiyan join forces and command to hit the door stupidly? If it's two against two......
Xiao Meiyan's ability Lin Xuan has not thought of a way to restrain himself until now, and if Lin Xuan is restrained and let Miki Sayaka deal with Sakura Kyoko alone, the result can be imagined.
Fortunately, it's not just Lin Xuan who doesn't want to fight, but so does Lumu Yuanxiang.
"Sayaka-chan, it's not okay like this......"
“…… Well, I'm just talking."
