Chapter 109 The Victory of the Kingly Way
"hyacinth……?"
"Is that... a hyacinth?"
Entangled by the jellyfish tentacles, Iris and Nightingale struggled to break free, but were suddenly drawn to the towering blue beam of light before them.
And emerging from the pillar of light was none other than a hyacinth bathed in a starry galaxy!
The sky-blue greatsword was held straight up.
The starry skirt fluttered around her.
Magical Girl Hyacinth – In a brand new form, she stands in front of the Astral Jellyfish!
Ah... the shadow of stars... what a beautiful and powerful form...
The astral jellyfish seemed unable to contain its joy, showing no fear whatsoever, and instead becoming even more immersed in it.
At this moment, the hyacinth is no longer the knight she once was; she has transformed into the darling of the stars, appearing beneath the astral rift with the beauty of a princess!
"I'll definitely stop you! You ugly thing!"
Hyacinth rebuked sharply, her eyes resolute, as if she had made up her mind.
But she seemed to sense something was amiss.
This jellyfish-like monster... why does it give me such a familiar feeling...?
"...Who exactly are you?" Hyacinth questioned.
[...Heh, it seems the Shadow of the Stars has indeed strengthened your connection with the Astral Plane.]
Seeing the hyacinth's hesitant look, the astral jellyfish was not surprised, but simply let out its usual cold laugh.
Nightingale looked up at the fiery, malevolent eye beneath the jellyfish's umbrella, and felt the same bewilderment as Hyacinth.
too weird!
This jellyfish did not cause large-scale damage to the surrounding buildings from the moment it appeared, showing remarkable restraint compared to those wild monsters.
Could it be a monster controlled by Xin Yuehu? But that shouldn't be the case. How could she control such a powerful monster?
Just as Nightingale was wondering, the jellyfish tendrils binding their bodies tightened their grip, and the two cried out in surprise.
"Whoa?!"
"It hurts so much!..."
Hyacinth's eyes narrowed, and just as she was about to rush forward to rescue her companion, she was forced back a step by the two beams of magical energy emitted from the Evil Eye.
Your companion is in my hands, little guy!
The tentacles lifted the two high into the air, and the jellyfish laughed wildly, shouting at the hyacinth,
Even if you free the Shadow of Stars, what then? Can you save them?
"—Then you don't need to worry about it!"
Hyacinth's figure sped upwards, and the Astral Jellyfish reacted immediately, its countless tentacles wrapping around her, accompanied by several beams of magical energy, attempting to shoot down the sky-blue comet on the spot.
But the giant sword only slashed once, and the magic power surged out like a wave, severing countless tentacles on the spot!
The sword energy shattered the tentacles binding the iris and nightingale almost instantly, freeing them from their restraints!
What...?
The astral jellyfish was taken aback.
Su Tianqing, who was watching the live stream from her shelter, was also suddenly stunned and briefly looked bewildered amidst the cheers of those around her.
The power of the Starry Night Shadow far exceeded my expectations!
"Iris! Nightingale! How are you two doing?"
"It's doing great, let's take it down in one fell swoop!"
Nightingale nodded and immediately cast two defensive and buffing spells on Hyacinth.
The iris flowers, having escaped, created distance, and the magic cannons followed in quick succession, with dazzling beams of magic weaving a vast net of fire in the air!
From within the barrage of fire, azure-blue magical girls emerged one after another! They charged towards the Jellyfish Evil Eye!
Wow, so fast!
Su Tianqing tried to control the tentacles to stop the hyacinth, but it was much faster than before. In an instant, it rushed to the Evil Eye and slashed down with its sword!
The greatsword slashed with all its might! Leaving a horrifying, deep wound on the Jellyfish Eye!
"Pfft!!"
Astral magic surged forth from the evil eye, thick and dense, like filthy blood.
【Gaaaaaaahhhhhh!!】
The jellyfish roared in pain, and Su Tianqing immediately switched the monster to autopilot mode, escaping from the precise micro-management, her back covered in cold sweat.
Although the pain wasn't transmitted, the visual impact of the giant sword slashing was incredibly real.
Wow, that's powerful! The Shadow of Stars is too strong!
Even the Astral Jellyfish, which I manipulated with finesse, was at a disadvantage, while Hyacinth hadn't even used any of her new form's moves, just ordinary greatsword slashes.
I'm getting more and more excited.
I want to see Hyacinth's special move, I want to see her at her strongest!
Su Tianqing looked at the angry roaring astral jellyfish in the live stream, a slight smile of anticipation rising on her lips.
Originally, I planned to recycle and reuse this jellyfish, but since the hyacinth has shown such powerful fighting ability, I can't hold back and must meet it with the same momentum!
In that case, let's unleash the second phase of the Astral Jellyfish.
"Look! Something seems to be popping out of that jellyfish's eye!"
The crowd gathered in front of the television immediately fell silent, staring in horror at the dark, swirling mass of magic power emanating from the evil eye.
In theory, ordinary cameras cannot capture the appearance of primordial astral magic, but this dark magic clearly exhibited a recognizable physical form—
—A deep blue ball of magical light emerged from it.
Upon seeing that incredibly familiar magic, Nan Jiayu's swaying cat tail suddenly froze, her azure cat eyes narrowing to slits, filled with astonishment.
Without a doubt, that's what the Hellcat looks like!
.
"What...that is...?"
Hyacinth was also startled by this sudden change, and a moment of astonishment welled up in her heart, but she quickly strengthened her resolve.
No matter what tricks they come up with, I absolutely cannot waver in the slightest! I must go all out!
Is this what you fear most in your heart?
From the mouth of the Hellcat, which was made of pure magic, came the distinct voice of the jellyfish monster.
I have perfectly replicated your deepest fears, guaranteed to give you an unprecedented and amazing experience!
After saying that, "Hellcat" silently used magic to form a cat fist in its hand, its gaze fixed on Hyacinth.
Hyacinths dare not be careless.
The jellyfish was right; what I feared most was indeed those cat-paw-shaped boxing gloves the size of sandbags.
But I am different now!
In order to protect Sister Tianqing and Sister Jiayu, I have been blessed by the stars and will fight against them as the Shadow of the Stars!
A fierce battle unfolded once again over Chengdu.
Everyone who witnessed this battle would call it the most spectacular magical girl battle ever.
Hyacinth of the Stars and Hellcat of Magic Simulation are both extreme melee fighters, and their first contact turned into a fierce battle!
A fierce battle lasting half an hour.
Both sides launched a full-scale attack, unleashing a dazzling array of magical attacks that stunned even the Wheat Ear Squad and Autumn Osmanthus Squad, who had rushed to provide support.
Hyacinth, having freed the shadow of the stars, stood on the ground and clashed with the Hellcat, which was made of pure magic. Its cat-claw gauntlets steadily caught the greatsword, and neither could do anything to it.
"Hyacinth! Are you alright?"
"Don't worry about me! You guys go and take care of the rest of the jellyfish and its tentacles!"
Hyacinth called out loudly to its companions.
The magical girls didn't understand what was going on, but they immediately began to work together to clean up the remains of the jellyfish monster.
The fierce battle continued for another ten minutes or so.
Hyacinth finally escaped, panting, after the Hellcat's magic was completely exhausted and it turned into a handful of magical particles that drifted away.
"Huff...huff..."
Nan Xiaofeng was panting heavily.
The opponent, made of magic, lost his strength, but those lifeless eyes still stared at him.
The other person didn't utter a single word, but the familiar smile on their face seemed to hint at a terrifying possibility:
Is the one fighting against oneself really just a weirdo?
What is hidden behind this strange-looking thing?
"Shhh..."
The magic particles scattered completely.
After a long silence, the girl turned to face Iris and the other girl, then looked at the magical girls who had come to help from not far away.
No one spoke.
The magical girl [Wheat Ear] looked at the junior who had liberated the shadow of the stars. Although she felt a little envious, she still showed an appreciative smile.
【Qiu Gui】Her face was expressionless, but her eyes said it all.
Hyacinth raised its greatsword high and let out a triumphant cheer.
Magical Girls, a resounding victory!
