: The music continues, the dance continues.

Shining level.

For magical girls, this is a very special level.

The Global Magical Girls Alliance treats magical girls of this caliber as honored guests, and the Asian Magic Disaster Countermeasures Division regards them as its backbone.

The uniqueness of Shining Magical Girls lies not only in their power and magic that surpass the Brightness level, but also in another, more special ability they possess.

【Magic Music】

If we consider the magical girls of the Glimmer and Brightness levels as a child wielding a fully automatic weapon...

Upon reaching the Shining level, this fully automatic weapon automatically upgrades into a small nuclear bomb called Magic Melody.

Of course, this does not mean that the magical music of every Shining Magical Girl is as powerful as a small-yield nuclear bomb.

After all, there are quite a few magical melodies in official records that are not direct attacks, such as strengthening physical constitution and changing the weather.

There is also a special type of magical music. Because of past examples, magical girls who awakened this type of magical music are still feared by various countries to this day.

However, aside from these functional support magic melodies, the magic melodies that only showcase pure offensive capabilities stand out quite a bit.

There once was a magical girl who appeared in a small country.

That small country was plagued by constant warfare due to its geography. The demon angels invaded twice, but ultimately decided to give up after realizing that the damage they caused was not as great as the damage caused by the fighting between the two sides.

After that, the girl, the only magical girl in the entire country, was filled with sorrow.

Because helping either side would harm the other, the girl refused the invitations from both the government forces and the rebels.

Until she unexpectedly became a Shining-level being and awakened the Magic Melody.

On that day, the magical girl appeared on the front lines of the battlefield, intending to stop the war. For the first time, she used her magical melody.

As a result, the capital of that small country was submerged by a flood comparable to a tsunami.

People and horses were thrown into chaos, countless people were killed or injured, and the country was paralyzed.

So much so that this magical girl was too ashamed to face her family and friends back home, and went abroad to accept the olive branch offered by the Global Magical Girl Alliance.

When asked why she chose to play music, this is how the 15-year-old girl answered.

"The adults started fighting because the sacred river dried up, so I thought of playing music to make the sacred river rise again. Once the sacred river returns to normal, the adults will stop fighting."

Global Magical Girl Alliance Advisor: "..."

Is it a problem of drought?

But it is clear that it is unrealistic to expect a girl who has not received a systematic education to understand what political struggle is.

After all, she simply saw the nuclear button called "Magic Melody" as a solution to all problems.

Incidentally, this girl became an expert in water conservancy engineering after she grew up, and returned to her motherland to deal with floods, solving a major problem for her country. It's truly a cause for celebration.

As for how the trouble came about, don't worry about that.

In short, a single area-of-effect, non-offensive magical melody can paralyze the capital of a small country, even though that capital might not even be as big as a town in some other countries.

Regardless, the extraordinary power displayed by these magical melodies is beyond the comprehension of ordinary reasoning.

As a Shining-level magical girl, Shirayuki's awakened magic melody is a purely offensive magic melody.

And coincidentally, she herself is a magical girl of the [Prelude Flower] type.

"【Flower Resigns from Gold】".

As the blonde girl uttered those three words, the world changed color.

A glimmer of golden light slowly emerged from the Seed of Hope on her chest.

The golden light wasn't particularly dazzling, yet it seemed to steal the colors from the world, with only that one point shimmering with light.

The wind stopped, and the insects and birds were silent.

A dazzling golden flower quietly bloomed before Fu Xun's eyes.

The towering demonic figure froze for a moment, its bone knife stopping just before it was about to pierce Bai Yu.

There wasn't some invisible barrier in front of it, nor did it stop on its own initiative.

The demon's body trembled slightly as fine, golden threads, as thin as flower stamens, pierced its torso, fixing it in place and rendering it unable to move.

A fine, golden rain began to fall from the sky.

Strands of golden silk fell silently, threading through the trees and landing on the earth, like a golden wheat field surging and illuminating the entire world.

The silver mist enveloped the witch as she retreated rapidly, but in just a moment, the golden rain gnawed away at her silver mist, creating tiny holes in it.

"Damn it!"

A strand of gold thread pierced through the silver mist and embedded itself in her forearm, the pain excruciating and causing her to pause for a moment.

But it was this brief pause that kept her completely immersed in the golden drizzle.

As the music faded and the drizzle subsided, the plains stretching for kilometers were covered with a golden carpet of white rain.

Upon closer inspection, it was no carpet at all. Tall trees had been pulverized, abandoned buildings had melted in the rain, and the ground was riddled with holes. Only dense golden threads covered the surface, resembling a grassland.

"Wow, that's impressive."

A platinum-colored magical girl walked up to her and praised her without any expression.

Bai Yu's eyes lit up.

"Senior! Are you alright?"

"It's alright, I deliberately extended the transformation time, so your music didn't affect me," Bai Chi said calmly.

"But this is truly spectacular..."

She stared at the horrific scene before her, speechless with astonishment.

Fortunately, it was in the suburbs. If it had been in the city, how many people would have died over such a large area?

Hearing her words, the golden magical girl sighed.

"Please don't make fun of me, senior."

"Since I became a Shining-class cultivator, I've hardly used my Magic Melody..."

Bai Yu looked worried when she thought about how she had sent another Shining-level magical girl to the hospital on her first use of Magic Melody.

After all, her magical melody was a bit too destructive to the surrounding environment.

The damage caused by other magical girls' battles can at least be rebuilt on the original buildings.

Her "Flower Farewell to Gold" skill, once unleashed, indiscriminately attacks friend and foe alike. Forget about rebuilding; she'd probably turn the entire city center into an anthill.

"You can't say that. Look, isn't it very effective?"

Bai Chi raised an eyebrow and sized up the two Apostle officers who had turned into golden hedgehogs.

"Even adult inferior beasts probably couldn't withstand this move. Your cadres' vitality is truly remarkable."

She spoke from the heart, and Bai Yu also stepped forward to look at Fu Xun with curiosity.

Fu Xun: "..."

The towering demon remained standing, with countless golden threads piercing through its body and firmly anchoring it to the ground. One could still faintly see fine golden light emanating from its shoulders and limbs, but the bone knife in its hand remained unaffected.

Clearly, this demonic cadre did not perish while the music was playing.

To be honest, this was the first time she had used a musical piece to deal with the Demon Angel's disciple. After all, she had only used [Flower Farewell Gold] on inferior beasts before.
