Chapter 40: I Still Have to Take Action
Actually, this matter is quite easy to understand.
Members of the Evil Organization have no good tempers or nice personalities. If they had good tempers and nice personalities, they wouldn’t join an evil organization, right?
Many times, negotiations between various organizations quickly escalate into “How dare you insult me?” “What if I insult you?” arguments and then immediately develop into a physical fight.
That’s exactly the situation now.
Heihuo (Black Fire) believed that since Sheya (Snake Fang) was new and should follow the rules, even though Heihuo was nearly at the bottom like a stray dog on the street, they had been rooted in Xinghai City for many years and couldn’t just concede without sufficient benefits!
But Snake Fang believed they were a world-class organization and that annexing a small organization like Heihuo was already showing them mercy. How dare they refuse the mercy—they really seemed to be tired of living!
The two sides spent a long time looking at each other unfavorably before they finally reached an impasse.
Then, someone from Snake Fang slammed the table, shouted, and directly threw the representative of Heihuo sitting across from them out of the room.
Why negotiate when you can solve the problem with your fists?
Because this was a negotiation, both sides didn’t have many people. However, Heihuo only had a few members, and compared to Snake Fang’s skilled newcomers, they were significantly weaker.
The representative from Snake Fang was a capable subordinate of their cadre “Tyrant Python,” with strength comparable to a General-class Monster, while Heihuo’s representative was just a somewhat stronger ordinary person.
The difference in strength was like putting a five or six-year-old child up against a dump truck.
Unexpectedly, the representative from Snake Fang didn’t think that casually tossing someone out would result in a surprise.
He originally intended to chase after the Heihuo guy for an easy win, but just as he dashed out through a gap in the wall, he met a pair of light purple eyes.
“Magic…”
This unexpected encounter left him momentarily dazed, and then a purple magic wand appeared before him.
Boom!
When Siam arrived at the battlefield, Rosemary had already completely subdued the Snake Fang cadre who had transformed into a magical beast; despite the creature covered in black snake scales struggling to resist, it could not escape Rosemary’s pursuit.
Light orbs crashed into the creature, bursting it into a bloody mess. Whenever it attempted to counterattack, Rosemary flew in the air, rendering most of its attack methods useless.
Magical Girls can fly, but most magical beasts actually don’t have the ability to fly.
Additionally, a Magical Girl is usually stronger than magical beasts and monsters of the same tier; in one-on-one situations, the Magical Girl has the advantage.
“Siam, you go control the others, and I’ll take care of this monster!”
“Okay!”
…
While Xia Mo and Siam were hard at work, Luo Shuangxing was only a few steps away from arriving at the battlefield. However, just as she was about to reach her destination, her eyes inadvertently glanced to the side, and suddenly she saw a familiar figure standing high above, watching the show.
Although the person’s outfit was somewhat different from before, Luo Shuangxing immediately recognized this figure as the villain who had injured Senior Rosemary.
“Dark Butterfly! What are you plotting again?” Upon seeing the villain, Luo Shuangxing certainly couldn’t just stand by; she took a deep breath and shouted at Dark Butterfly.
Luo Shuangyue turned her head to look upon hearing the voice, oh, it’s that annoying little brat.
“The prey I had my eye on was snatched away, so I’m a little displeased.” One butterfly after another flew from thin air, landing on Luo Shuangyue.
A magnificent dress replaced her plain outfit, completing the transformation under Dark Butterfly’s influence.
After all, Linglan was somewhat threatening; if she got angry and blasted a beam of light, untransformed Luo Shuangyue would probably be sent to meet her mother.
Once transformed, Luo Shuangyue was no longer scared; with her current defense, she wouldn’t be bothered even if Linglan exhausted her magic power and blasted her.
“Since you’ve saved me some effort, I’ll let you go this time; go help your senior.” After saying this, Luo Shuangyue shifted her gaze away, as if she completely disregarded Linglan.
Such contempt infuriated Luo Shuangxing; she wanted nothing more than to blast this villain right in the face!
“Linglan, you go support Rosemary; since Dark Butterfly hasn’t shown hostility, don’t worry about her for now.”
“Okay!” she replied gritting her teeth, then swooped past Dark Butterfly.
As she flew past Dark Butterfly, she deliberately slowed down and gave her the middle finger.
This little temper… Luo Shuangyue couldn’t help but want to laugh. If Xia Mo was a standard Magical Girl, then Linglan was definitely not standard.
It was as if she were a younger sister always causing trouble, without any sense of seriousness, not even knowing whether the magical gem had gone blind to choose such a person.
“It seems there’s no need for me to intervene; a cadre with the strength of a General-class Monster is no match for Xia Mo.” Looking at the increasingly clear battlefield, Luo Shuangyue thought to herself.
Unless something unexpected happened, this battle should end quickly…
It seemed as if someone wanted to slap Luo Shuangyue in the face; just as she thought the day should end like this, that snake-scaled monster suddenly pulled out a pitch-black cylinder.
“You’ve forced my hand! Experience the power of Lord Tyrant Python!”
Saying this, the monster squeezed hard, crushing the cylinder completely.
Instantly, a cloud of pitch-black mist erupted from the cylinder, transforming into a giant python.
The giant python flicked its tongue and lunged straight at Xia Mo, temporarily pinning her down in place, while the monster turned to rush into the darkness without a second thought.
Yes, despite how loud and grandiose he sounded, he merely wanted to escape.
If there were no other disturbances, he might actually be able to get away; after all, the black mist python he had just released contained the power of the Tyrant Python, which could buy him enough time to flee, even if he couldn’t defeat Rosemary.
Yet, he didn’t anticipate that someone in the sky was watching him.
Swish! Boom!
The scythe descending from the sky carved a deep trench into the ground, and a gray-clothed girl slowly descended from the sky, flapping her butterfly wings and looking at the monster before her with the gaze of someone looking at the dead.
“You have two choices: the first is to kneel down, the second, is to be beaten to kneel down.”
The intercepted villain’s face turned dark. His instinct told him that the enemy before him was even more terrifying than the magical girl from before.
Moreover, this figure reminded him of someone from the intel.
“You’re Dark Butterfly? I didn’t expect you to also be a lackey of the Magic Department!”
“Heh, a few annoying poisonous snakes have appeared in my garden; as the owner of the garden, is it hard to understand that I act to clean them out?” With a twist of her scythe, Luo Shuangyue revealed a manic smile.
“Now, be obedient and stand still; I will let you leave as safely as possible.”
