Chapter 68 Talent
Chapter 68 Talent
Han Xue wanted to say something in response to Xia Qing's question.
But seeing the warning look in Violet's eyes, she ultimately didn't say the thing about the hellhound's weakness being its abdomen.
However, she was the first to go out, hoping that her upcoming battle would reveal the Cerberus's weakness to her magical girl companions.
The moment she stepped onto the battlefield, the calamity beast also moved.
On the battlefield, there's no such thing as brandishing a sword or talking about martial ethics.
The purple-eyed hellhound charged at Han Xue, its massive body crashing through the road like a tank, destroying all the boulders in its path.
Han Xue immediately leaped into the air, utilizing the aerial advantage of a magical girl, and moved like a nimble butterfly in the battle against the Hellhound.
Constantly shifting its position, it gathers blue magic beams and magic balls to counterattack the hellhound's vulnerable spots such as its eyes, armpits, and abdomen.
Each swing inflicts a deep, bone-deep wound on the hellhound.
Bai Youqing stared intently at Han Xue, whose movements were graceful and agile. She had always heard Xia Qing say that Han Xue was very strong.
Previously, I only had a concept; now I have a basic understanding.
At this moment, Violet spoke.
"You guys think that hellhound is particularly stupid and clumsy, being completely outmaneuvered by Han Xue, and you can breathe a deep sigh of relief."
If that's the case, then you're not far from suffering a great loss. Don't be fooled by Hellhound's large and clumsy appearance; even though Han Xue beat it up and left it battered and bruised, if she makes even one mistake, her situation will be in danger.
It was clear that the hellhound's health had been drained, and the surrounding rubble was riddled with pits from the green blood.
Han Xue felt that she had demonstrated enough to Xia Qing and it was time to deal with him. So she thought of getting close and condensing a magic cannon to take him out with one shot.
Unexpectedly, just a few meters after she landed, the hellhound's eyes lit up, and its speed became several times faster than before.
"roar!"
It let out a furious roar, its entire body emanating dark black energy, which then channeled the abyssal aura to its legs.
In an instant, the hellhound vanished.
No, to be precise, he was too fast; apart from Violet, no one could see his steps clearly.
Han Xue was also startled by the sudden attack and hurriedly raised her body to fly upwards.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
When she saw him again, the hellhound suddenly appeared directly in front of her, extending its sharp, silvery claws and slashing down with all its might.
"Ding!"
A fiery red blade appeared in front of Han Xue, easily deflecting the opponent's full-force attack.
A surge of fiery red magical energy blasted the hellhound away, but did not kill it.
The purple-eyed hellhound stood up, shook its head, and stood aside without daring to complain in the slightest, but the hellhound next to it was overjoyed.
Because the female larva seemed to keep her word and didn't kill the new leader.
Thinking about it, the hellhounds became more spirited and their confidence increased.
They could roughly sense the strength of the opposing magical girl; she wasn't very strong, and the stronger one had already been defeated by the new boss.
The eclipse is against the seed-forming species; the advantage lies with me!
Compared to the jubilation of the Cerberus side, the magical girls' side seemed rather sullen. Who would have thought that Han Xue, who was clearly in the lead, would lose like this? If it weren't for Senior Violet's intervention, she might have been in mortal danger.
Han Xue, in particular, showed an unusual expression of annoyance after leaving the battlefield.
"Who's next?"
Violet's indifferent face showed no emotion, nor did she offer any words of comfort. If they couldn't even accept this kind of setback, then they shouldn't become magical girls.
"I'll go." Xia Qing spoke up. As a senior member of the Sword Orchid Squad, she couldn't back down in front of her juniors.
"Okay." Violet randomly picked one of the remaining three hellhounds with her finger.
Xia Qing went up, and this time she used Han Xue's fighting style, but she was more cautious. She never engaged in close combat with the hellhound, but simply kited it until it bled to death.
Xia Qing returned, covered in sweat. Dealing with the hellhound felt like fighting a boss.
The boss had 100 HP, and she lost one HP with each attack, which exhausted her. But the sense of accomplishment after defeating the boss was indescribable.
Since becoming a magical girl, she has mostly killed low-level [Meteor]-level demons; this is the first time she has slain a [Moon Eclipse]-level monster.
Xia Qing's success revitalized the previously sluggish magic team.
"Who's next?"
Violet neither praised nor criticized Xia Qing's fighting style, which took too long, but it was good that she could learn from Han Xue's failure.
"I'll go," Bai Youqing said, raising her hand.
All things considered, this was her second time facing a calamity beast face-to-face, and to be honest, she still couldn't help feeling nervous.
"Okay, be careful." Violet subconsciously added a reminder.
Bai Youqing set off, a streak of emerald green light rushing straight towards the enormous hellhound.
Her first wave of attacks was aimed at the black crystal in the hellhound's abdomen, which she had keenly sensed while observing Han Xue and Xia Qing's battle.
Whether it was the first or the second hellhound, they always kept the black crystal facing the ground, preventing the magical girl's magic beams from damaging the black crystal.
Violet nodded. Bai Youqing's observation was very careful, and her talent was indeed quite good. She seemed to have an innate intuition and could usually find a suitable position.
Concentrate magical beams to attack the hellhound's weaknesses. The black crystal under the hellhound's belly is their special organ for storing abyssal energy. Whether for offense or defense, they need to draw abyssal energy from there.
It exists similar to the magical core of a magical girl.
After Bai Youqing's several magical attacks, Hellhound realized that she was targeting his weaknesses and quickly adjusted his fighting style to only defend and not attack.
Although this way they can't defeat the magical girl, they can at least put up a last-ditch effort.
If the opponent couldn't hold back, that would be his chance to retaliate. Unfortunately, learning from Han Xue's experience, Bai Youqing preferred to win more slowly rather than take the risk.
Five minutes later, the Hellhound stopped defending and launched a last-ditch attack on the white eaglet in the sky.
Unfortunately, Bai Youqing had anticipated this and easily dodged it.
He then unleashed the emerald green magic beam he had already gathered, slamming it with all his might towards the black crystal beneath the hellhound.
The Abyss Hellhound's crystal core was shattered a few minutes later, turning into a pile of black magic energy, which was absorbed by the Green Ivy Star on Bai Youqing's smooth and delicate neck.
Bai Youqing won.
"Well done." Violet nodded, offering a word of praise, then turned her gaze to Li Xuanyu at the very end.
Based solely on the last battle, she couldn't determine Li Xuanyu's exact strength or her talent.
If her talent wasn't good enough, she would try to find a way to make Li Xuanyu quit Magical Girls. Violet really didn't want Uncle Li to face the tragedy of losing his daughter in his old age.
"Don't worry, senior, I will do my best."
Li Xuanyu set off, and with the success of the previous two battles, this one ended quickly.
What surprised Violet even more was that the other party had mastered light magic without any instruction, and judging from his appearance, he possessed an extremely rich amount of magic power.
Previously, Han Xue and the other two had only used the simplest magic attacks, without converting the magic into attribute magic; these were the most primitive attack methods.
However, once magic power is converted into elemental magic, the means of attack become much more numerous.
Violet planned to teach them about elemental magic after they summoned their own magical artifacts.
Learning these elemental spells now is like aiming too high; without summoning their magic conduits, their mana bars simply aren't enough for them to use elemental spells even a few times.
"My lord, now that I've completed my mission, can I leave?" The purple-eyed hellhound approached with a fawning expression, showing no grief whatsoever for the death of its companion.
"Go away, and don't let me see you again." Violet waved her hand, putting away the candle wax in her hand, seemingly intending to let him go.
The purple-eyed hellhound had been waiting for those words, and it took off running.
Watching the hellhound's departing figure, the fiery red blade reappeared in Violet's hand, and she lightly slashed at his back.
"puff!"
The Abyss Hellhound, which had already run more than ten meters away, exploded like a celestial maiden's hair falling, its green blood dripping onto the ground like rain, emitting a pungent and nauseating corrosive odor.
An indescribable, strange beauty...
