Chapter 26

The Girl Next Door Holds a Sword for the First Time

After saying that, Magic Blaze charged forward again like an arrow.

Magical Inari glanced at the girl, hesitated for a moment, but followed closely behind Bai Chi, and together they attacked the witch Wu Jia.

Seeing the two approaching, the witch was not alarmed but delighted. She wielded her long whip like a knife, drawing bright silver lightning as she slashed at the two magical girls.

The three fought their way from the ground to mid-air, the terrifying shockwaves from their battle almost suffocating.

Seeing the scene before her that was practically a battle of gods, Li Jiangqun pursed her lips, knowing that this was not a battle she could participate in, so she turned and ran out of the battlefield.

She wanted to run away, but the enemy might not give her that chance.

The witch's whip swept across, forcing back the magical rice sprouts. Then, she lashed out with the whip, which transformed into a thick, snake-shaped bolt of lightning in mid-air, attacking the two magical girls.

The magician drew his bow and shot an arrow, the platinum light and silver lightning intertwining in the air, blinding everyone.

But in that brief moment, the witch broke free from the two men and stood in front of the girl.

"Oh my? Where does my little sweetheart want to run off to?"

"Even magical girls who haven't transformed yet are still ranked highly in my eyes."

The witch chuckled, her right hand, which had been holding a whip, now held a long sword at her waist, and stepped forward to stab the girl in the heart.

"Ding!"

Just as the sword tip was about to pierce the girl's heart, the platinum magic wand arrived in time, and the wand and the sword tip collided and sparked fiercely in an instant.

The witch hadn't expected Bai Chi to arrive so quickly. Caught off guard, her longsword was knocked from her hand during the clash, the blade pointing downwards and embedding itself in the ground a short distance away.

"Tsk."

The witch clicked her tongue in resentment, and in a flash, she retrieved the whip that had transformed into lightning.

Compared to her magic longsword, the lightning whip is more effective in enhancing her combat abilities.

"Hurry up!"

Magic Blaze spoke urgently to the girl, the long whip before her transforming into lightning once more, forcing her to muster all her strength to defend herself.

"Magic Weaving, Drizzling Rain!"

Daoya gave a soft shout, and the light at the tip of her magic wand transformed into countless threads that spread across the sky.

These silk threads descended from the sky, transforming into fine, dense white brocade that covered the entire night sky like a light drizzle.

The witch's vision was obscured by the white brocade before her, causing her to lose sight for a moment. Bai Chi drew his bow and nocked an arrow, but could only see a blurry shadow.

Unlike the two who struggled to move an inch, the magical rice sprout seemed to thrive in the white brocade-like night sky.

Her magic wand continuously gathered magic power and shot out beams of light, relentlessly attacking the witch Wu Jia under the cover of the white fluff filling the air.

However, the beams of demonic light that struck the witch only caused her to groan. Bai Chi frowned, unable to distinguish friend from foe from foe due to the constant stream of beams of light and the two figures moving in succession. Naturally, she hesitated to fire her golden bow.

"Does this guy have absolutely no sense of teamwork?!"

Bai Chi gritted his teeth, forced to abandon his shooting and choose to fight the witch in close combat.

Facing the magical girl who had offered herself up, the witch Maika seemed to have been prepared. Holding a dagger in her left hand and whipping a long whip in her right, she attacked the magical incandescence.

The magic wand in Inari's hand condensed into a beam of light, but watching the two figures locked in combat, she hesitated to make a move.

A moment later, she gave up on condensing the light cannon in a fit of frustration.

"Damn it! Doesn't this guy know what teamwork is?!"

She's not the kind of magical girl who excels at close combat!

Golden energy and lightning intertwined. As the two fought, bolts of lightning scorched the white floss, and strands of golden energy sliced ​​through the white brocade.

So the magical rice sprout could only watch helplessly as the two turned the magic of the area she had painstakingly set up into ashes, bit by bit.

"Damn it! I don't care anymore!"

Seeing that Magic Blaze was gradually losing ground in close combat, Magic Inari had no choice but to steel herself and join the fray with her magic staff.

Knowing that he couldn't deliver a punch-to-the-flesh blow like Magic Blazing, Magic Rice Sprout could only continuously condense magic bullets in close combat.

If the witch attacks you, keep your distance. If the witch chooses to engage in close combat with Blazing, harass her with magic bullets at close range.

In short, the two went back and forth, and gradually they really did reach a stalemate with the witch.

Although the witch Maika is confident in her ability to suppress any Bright-class magical girl, as is the case now, if two magical girls appear at the same time, the battle will inevitably become stalemate.

However, she already had a plan to deal with the current predicament.

She hurled the magic dagger in her hand with force, and it transformed into a black streak of light, flying towards the magic rice sprout at an astonishing speed.

The latter did not expect her to suddenly throw the weapon, and could only dodge hastily, instantly changing the previously stalemate.

Taking advantage of this opening, the witch hooked her whip onto the platinum magic wand, then leaned forward, gave a wicked smile as the latter looked slightly stunned, and then a horrifying gash appeared on her lips.

"Hehe, my turn!"

Her gaping mouth, stretching all the way to her ears, instantly transformed into a gaping maw, as if she wanted to bite off Magic Blaze's head!

Magic Blaze's expression changed drastically. He released his magic wand as if electrocuted, narrowly avoiding the witch's prey at the last second.

But that's exactly the effect the witch wanted!

The long whip in her hand transformed into a soaring bolt of lightning once more. This time, without the magic wand to block it, the terrifying lightning had no hindrance and struck the magical incandescence directly!

Just as daylight cleaved through the night sky, the magical incandescence, already exhausted from the previous battle, was struck by the witch's terrifying all-out attack and plummeted from the night sky.

Upon seeing this, the magic rice sprout turned pale and hurriedly tried to fly down to catch the magic white flame's body.

But concern can cloud judgment. The witch had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, so she immediately bent down and approached the magical rice sprout from behind at an even faster speed.

"!"

The figure of the magical white flame fell to the ground unconscious, and its clothes gradually dissipated in the platinum light until they finally turned back into an ordinary high school uniform.

At the same time, another tall figure landed, with red hair flowing down her back, breathing heavily, and her chest heaving, clearly indicating that she was also quite exhausted.

The witch staggered before regaining her balance, but even so, a smug smile remained on her face.

"Ugh! Let me go!"

The witch's right hand gripped the neck of the magical rice sprout tightly. The latter tried to break free, but the witch's large hand held her firmly like an iron clamp, making it increasingly difficult for her to breathe.

"Ha, ha, this really satisfies me, sweetheart."

The witch gazed adoringly at the petite magical girl in her hands.

"Damn it! Fine! I give up! You wanted to corrupt me, didn't you?!"

"Put me down! I'll go back with you and be corrupted!"

Magical Inari stared intently at the witch, but the latter wore a knowing smile. She leaned close to the magical girl's ear and whispered something.

"Sweethearts...who said I was going to capture you and corrupt you?"

"I'm going to savor you all!"

Under the latter's horrified gaze, her mouth gradually split open, turning into a large, scarlet maw.

"No, no! Someone, someone please save me!"

Hearing the terrified sounds of the dessert in her hand, the witch let out a series of terrifying laughs from her large mouth.

"Magical girl! Magical girl!"

"Those who share my origin! Become my food..."

"Clang!"

A flash of cold light and a splatter of blood on the ground silenced the witch's arrogant words.

The witch Wu Jia lowered her head, staring blankly at the tip of the sword in front of her chest.

"This is... my longsword..."

She turned around in disbelief, only to be met with the girl's cool and aloof eyes.
