Chapter 368 First Encounter
On the Blue Sky Street, the Sakura Magician discovered Sylvia's weakness, making the ensuing battle much easier.
No matter who Sylvia transforms into, the Sakura Magician can quickly and accurately strike.
For example, the deep purple abyssal siren that Sylvia has conjured now possesses a massive body, with six long, incredibly agile tentacles extending from each side. Each tentacle is covered in suckers, and around the edges of these suckers grows a ring of sharp, serrated teeth. Each tooth is as long as an adult's arm, gleaming with a cold, silvery light, and when closed, it can easily bite through steel. Inside its mouth are layers upon layers of tiny teeth, a sight that inspires fear.
Looking at the repulsive abyssal siren, the Sakura Mage remained indifferent, slowly drawing Sakura no Kiri from its sheath. With this action, she forcefully hurled the crimson sheath to the ground. The instant it touched the earth, a pink pentagram magic circle instantly unfolded, spreading outward from the sheath.
A faint scent of cherry blossoms filled the air, instantly making the surrounding atmosphere somber.
As the magic circle took shape, the Sakura Cutter in her hand began to change. The blade, as if it had drunk its fill of the first rays of dawn, emitted a dazzling pink glow that enveloped the entire blade.
[Breaking the Boundary·Sakura Dance]
With a low shout, the cherry blossom mage swung the Sakura Cutter in her hand, the trajectory of the blade creating whirlwinds and scattering countless pink petals in the air, each petal gleaming with a sharp light.
These petals moved with astonishing speed through the massive, bloated body of the abyssal siren, leaving deep marks with each contact.
At first, the abyssal siren tried to resist, but soon discovered that no matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape the sudden "rain of petals".
These pink petals appear harmless, but the moment they touch the body of the abyssal siren, they begin to rapidly cut and tear, like army ants, penetrating deep into the siren's flesh.
In an instant, the massive body of the abyssal siren was cut to pieces by the dense petals, turning into a puddle of octopus paste.
Even so, the Sakura Magician kept her distance, refusing to approach the pile of rotten flesh.
Inside the giant pit, after a long while, the pool of octopus sauce seemed to realize that the other party was extremely cautious and would not approach, before it slowly began to coalesce and return to human form.
Sylvia climbed out of the crater, wiping the blood from her mouth. She glanced down at her horribly mangled wounds, then looked at the Sakura Mage, who was nearly at full health. Now she understood how formidable her opponent was; their combat experience was far too rich.
No matter what high-level abyssal beast she transforms into, the opponent can accurately find her weakness the moment she changes and take swift action.
Without the slightest hesitation, it was exceptionally decisive and swift.
Even though she had tried to feign death to let the Sakura Mage get close and devour him, the Mage was incredibly cautious and kept a safe distance from her.
Looking at the cherry blossom mage preparing to unleash another powerful attack in the sky, Sylvia was unwilling to give up. She had finally managed to elevate her status as an Abyss Devourer, who was at the bottom of the Abyss society, to a higher level. Was she going to stop here today?
If she had known this would happen, she should have devoured the Abyss Flame Dragon on the spot; even if she couldn't win, she could have escaped.
Above, the cherry blossom mage looked down at Sylvia, a confident smile playing on her lips: "If this is all you've got, then you probably won't be leaving here today."
【Breaking Boundaries: Eternal Cherry Blossoms】
She slowly raised her hands, palms facing each other, and with a soft murmur, the space between her palms began to vibrate.
In an instant, a dazzling pink magic orb quietly condensed, its volume expanding and its color becoming increasingly intense until it reached a critical point.
"rise!"
With a soft shout, the Sakura Mage suddenly exerted her strength, pushing her palms forward. The huge pink magic orb shot out like a meteor, tearing through the sky and rushing towards Sylvia's remains.
Seeing this terrifying scene, the Sakura Judgment Squad members beside them couldn't help but start to worry.
It's not that I'm worried the Sakura Mage will be killed, but I'm worried that Sylvia might be killed by the captain.
Their mission was to capture the enemy alive.
Just then, a torrent of flames mixed with scorching magma shot out from the horizon, carrying an aura of annihilation, and collided with the pink magic orb.
The strange light generated the moment the two met completely illuminated the surrounding darkness.
Many citizens raised their heads and looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky.
Is it a meteor shower?
In the sky, the torrent of flames arrived swiftly and disappeared just as quickly. It was completely swallowed up by the pink magic orb after only a moment of neutralization, leaving only wisps of steam rising in the air as it continued to shoot toward Sylvia.
But at this moment, there was no trace of Sylvia in the giant pit below.
Without the torrent of flames blocking her way, Sylvia would never have escaped this attack. But now that someone is helping her, if she still can't escape, she can voluntarily go to the Abyss Hall to take up a position.
At this moment, Sylvia, who had fled, looked at the massive figure in front of her. Instead of gratitude, her face showed a hint of annoyance: "Why did you come here? To laugh at me?"
"Tsk, as if anyone wanted to come. If it weren't for Princess Phantom Butterfly's orders, I might have helped these magical girls beat you up again."
The Abyss Flame Dragon's gaze toward the other was filled with disdain and annoyance.
"It's still uncertain who will beat whom. If I can devour you, the Sakura Magician will definitely be no match for me."
"Tch, anyone can talk big."
The members of the Sakura Judgment Squad slowly raised their heads. Above them, a terrifying black shadow had appeared at some unknown time—the Abyss Flame Dragon.
The cherry blossom mage glanced indifferently at the massive black shadow, and after confirming its approximate strength, turned her pink eyes to look at the deep purple-haired girl not far in front of her.
She was wearing a black dress, the well-tailored fabric clinging to her body, her full breasts and slender waist perfectly showcasing the most graceful curves of a young girl.
From a distance, it resembles a fruit that is about to fully ripen, radiating an alluring luster while still retaining a touch of innocence.
The girl's skin was as white as snow, creating a striking contrast with her black dress, making her even more captivating.
"Is it pretty?"
As if sensing the intense gaze of the Sakura Magician, the Butterfly beside her gently lifted the hem of her black skirt and gracefully curtsied.
"Beautiful, very charming."
The cherry blossom magician's face was sincere, and she nodded gently with a smile, her words seemingly devoid of any falsehood.
But her hands didn't stop moving. She quickly made a fist gesture, and the surrounding Sakura Judgment Squad members quickly withdrew from the encirclement of Sylvia and gathered behind the Sakura Magician.
Curious eyes peered at the girl before them. Last time, when they observed her fighting the Abyss Flame Dragon, they were quite far away and could only vaguely see her blurry figure. Now, they were face to face.
This Abyss Demoness looks exceptionally young and beautiful!
Yu Ming, the magical girl from the Sakura Judgment Squad, also glanced at the other party. Although she felt that the Abyss Demoness in front of her looked somewhat familiar, when she saw the other party's hair color and eyes, she felt that she must have mistaken her for someone else. She then lowered her head again and continued to struggle with her own affairs.
Is Bai Xiaodie the Devourer of the Abyss?
"Oh, really?"
Upon hearing this, the phantom butterfly in the sky smiled shyly, "Cherry Blossom Magician, as long as you think it looks good, that's fine. I changed it especially for you."
"Um?"
The members of the Sakura Judgment Squad were stunned and bewildered. Their questioning gazes darted back and forth between the Sakura Magician and the Demon Princess Illusion Butterfly.
...
What does that mean?
Could it be that our captain had a past relationship with Demon Princess Butterfly?
"What do you mean by that?"
The cherry blossom magician's delicate face gradually darkened as she coldly stared at the demon princess, Illusion Butterfly, before her.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you'd like to come home with me. I can take care of you~"
The phantom butterfly seemed oblivious to the annoyance on the cherry blossom mage's face.
She smiled slightly and twirled gently in front of the Sakura Magician, her black skirt billowing like a blooming flower, displaying her beauty to the Sakura Magician like a shy young girl pursuing a mate.
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
Without the slightest hesitation, the Sakura Mage rejected the other party outright. Looking at the girl in the black dress before her, her feelings were extremely complex; she hadn't expected to be teased by the Abyss Demoness.
Upon hearing the Sakura Mage's heartless words, the deep purple light flashing in the Demon Princess's eyes turned sinister and terrifying. But then, she smiled sweetly, "It's alright, the Abyss Demon Princess is generous and magnanimous. I can give you seven chances."
After the Sakura Mage finished listening to the other party's words, there was nothing else in her eyes but a cold killing intent.
The story of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang capturing Meng Huo seven times is quite famous in Japan.
It was one thing for the other party to harass her, but to also look down on her in terms of strength!
Tolerable or unbearable!
"Hmph, you think you're Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, but don't end up like Hua Xiong."
"Why don't you try it and see? You guys come at me all at once, I was just about to go back to sleep."
The Demoness's smile faded, and she silently watched them with calm eyes, as if looking at a group of ants. Only when she looked at the Sakura Magician did a hint of tenderness appear on her face.
Illusion Butterfly's contemptuous gaze was undisguised; it was the first time the members of the Sakura Judgment Squad had ever been looked down upon like this.
The cherry blossom mage's delicate face turned icy cold at a visible speed, and she sneered, "Do all you abyssal beasts enjoy speaking so arrogantly?"
"Without corresponding strength, that's called arrogance; with corresponding strength, that's called confidence."
"Are you ready?"
"I can let you do it first~"
A long, slender katana appeared in the palm of the cherry blossom mage's hand.
Under the moonlight, the blade had a faint pinkish sheen; it was thin yet strong, and a string of cherry blossom-shaped pendants hung from the end of the hilt.
As the owner began to wave, several crisp and melodious sounds rang out in the silent night.
The pale pink figure disappeared, and the Sakura Magician did not have the members of the Sakura Judgment Squad follow her.
It's unclear whether it was her pride that prevented it, or whether she felt the Sakura Judgment Squad wouldn't be very effective against the Demon Princess Illusion Butterfly; perhaps it was both.
In the desolate night, it seemed that only Huan Die's figure remained in the sky, a smile on her face.
The next second, bang!
The figure of the Sakura Mage suddenly appeared above the Phantom Butterfly. The magic power contained in the Sakura Slicer in her hand was many times greater than when she had slashed Sylvia before.
Either don't make a move, or when you do, it's a full-force attack.
But at that moment, a slender scythe appeared in Huan Die's hand, easily blocking the attack.
Undeterred by her failed attack, the Sakura Mage moved with lightning speed, swiftly deflecting the Butterfly Scythe from the Illusionary Butterfly. Seizing the brief moment of hesitation, she parted her lips slightly and uttered, "Boundary Break: Sakura Blossom Dance."
In the night sky, countless pink sword lights and shadows instantly attacked the Phantom Butterfly. If it were the Abyss Calamity Beast Sylvia from before, she would have been torn to pieces long ago. However, the Butterfly Scythe in the Phantom Butterfly's hand seemed to have its own soul, extremely flexible, and blocked all the sword lights swung by the Sakura Mage.
The Sakura Mage's face was somewhat gloomy. After the first round of combat, she had not caused any damage to her opponent, and her momentum had indirectly fallen into a disadvantageous position.
"The power is alright, but compared to the level of my battle with Kikyo in Yeqiu City, the difference seems quite significant."
With a swift twist of her wrist, the Phantom Butterfly bound the Butterfly Scythe behind her back. One by one, purple butterflies fluttered and danced silently around the girl's body.
Her gaze returned to the magical girl before her, and she even clicked her tongue in regret.
As Huan Die finished speaking, "Shut up!"
The cherry blossom mage's aura suddenly erupted, her fists clenched tightly, her fingertips turning white.
If she was angry at Huan Die's contempt before, she was now completely enraged by Huan Die herself.
Whoosh!
The cherry blossom mage moved again, her pale pink figure flashing across the sky as she rushed towards the phantom butterfly like lightning, her cherry blossom cleaver showing no mercy.
"Go to hell!"
Huan Die smiled helplessly. As expected, the Sakura Mage was still no match for the Kikyo Mage.
Sakura Mage is too easily broken down, unlike Kikyo Mage, who always has a slight smile on her face no matter how much Kikyo Mage mocks, threatens, or teases her.
Undistracted by the outside world, well, the only time I felt anxious was when I heard that the Violet Mage was about to die.
Bang!
She swung her Butterfly Scythe, which struck the Cherry Blossom Slash that the Cherry Blossom Mage was thrusting at her, and a loud buzzing sound rang out in the sky once again.
Swish!
Unable to dodge in time, Huan Die had a slight bloodstain on her arm.
Tsk!
The attack from the Sakura Mage was several levels stronger than before. Clearly, his casual words had really taken a deep swoop into the heart of this Sakura Mage.
It seems I need to be a little more serious!
The phantom butterfly's eyes flickered slightly, and pale purple magic instantly surged from her crystal core into the phantom butterfly scythe, causing the tightly closed pale purple flower buds to suddenly bloom.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind whistled in, and the cherry blossom mage, who was preparing to continue her attack, changed her expression and hurriedly dodged.
However, despite being prepared, the scythe of the phantom butterfly, which resembled the approach of death, brushed past her.
At the same time, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back.
No, we have to leave!
The speed at which the phantom butterfly attacked far exceeded the Sakura Mage's expectations, and it was likely that her subsequent attacks would not yield any benefit.
However, a cold and detached voice soon slowly emerged in her ears.
【Phantom Butterfly - Part 4: The Enchanted Butterfly's Illusory Dance】
The next second, countless pale purple butterflies suddenly appeared in front of her, twinkling and emitting a crystalline light, forming an extremely beautiful picture in the dark space.
The Sakura Mage turned her head away. Unbeknownst to her, her body was now completely bound by these endless threads, which were not only sharp but also constantly absorbing the magic power from her core.
That's how Kikyo was captured last time, and this time Sakura is no exception.
The cherry blossom magician's pink kimono was torn by magical threads, revealing large expanses of her snow-white skin.
It's partially hidden and looks very tempting.
"Damn abyssal monster, kill me if you want!"
The Sakura Mage coldly stared at the Abyss Demoness before her, the terrifying killing intent emanating from her curvaceous body almost overflowing the sky.
Looking at the other person's appearance, Huan Die's lips curled into a slight smile. She stretched out her slender fingertips and gently stroked the Sakura Mage's smooth face, lifting the Sakura Mage's chin slightly: "I like your unruly appearance. I hope you can keep it up in the future~"
"Damn monster, let go of our captain!"
"If you dare lay a hand on our captain, even the magical girl Kikyo won't let you get away with it!"
"6
'
Seeing their captain captured, the surrounding Sakura Judgment Squad members became restless, but Abyss Flame Dragon and Sylvia quickly stepped in front of them.
"What are you yelling about? Take care of yourselves first."
"Hehehe."
Illusion Butterfly wasn't worried at all about the unusual activity from the Sakura Judgment Team. She chuckled twice, then reached out her slender, smooth hand to stroke their furious face again, giving them a wicked smile: "Sakura Magician, you still have six chances~"
Leaving behind these meaningful words, Phantom Butterfly's figure then disappeared amidst the shocked gazes of the Sakura Judgment Squad members.
Although Sylvia behind her didn't quite understand why Princess Phantom Butterfly didn't kill these magical girls, she saw that the Abyss Flame Dragon had also left.
She glared fiercely at the defeated cherry blossom mage, then spread her black wings and hurriedly followed.
