Chapter 107 The Hyacinth is Getting Beaten Up
"The magical girl squads from other cities are on their way! We just need to hold them off! Don't overexert yourselves!"
Seeing that Hyacinth looked ready to fight the Astral Jellyfish, Bai Ling followed closely behind Hyacinth and shouted loudly.
As a stargazer, Bai Ling believed she understood the hyacinth's personality very well.
No matter how formidable the enemy, she would fight back fiercely, but she often ended up getting herself into trouble.
Hyacinth was always at the forefront when facing Heart Moon Fox, but she was always the first to be beaten up.
Fortunately, Hyacinth did not become discouraged because of this. She managed to recover from her only moment of low spirits, and her strength as a magical girl is steadily improving.
This made Bai Ling very happy.
But today, Bai Ling doesn't want Hyacinth to act impulsively like before.
"Are you even listening to me, Hyacinth!"
The white sable spirit anxiously pressed for an answer.
"Don't confront this guy head-on! The three of you can't handle him alone!"
"Are we just going to stand by and watch it raze the whole city to the ground?!" Hyacinth retorted, glancing at the stargazer beside her.
"You're being really inconsiderate. At least three magical girl squads are on their way. You just need to... watch out!!"
Before she could finish speaking, a powerful surge of magical energy entered the stargazer's senses, and Bai Ling immediately shouted.
Hyacinth didn't hesitate either, maneuvering in mid-air and narrowly avoiding a beam of magic!
Nan Xiaofeng looked up in the direction from which the beam of light was coming from, and met the gaze of the eye radiating a fierce light under the jellyfish-shaped umbrella.
"Be very careful, its magical power is far superior to those weaklings summoned by Heart Moon Fox!"
Bai Ling reminded the hyacinth beside her.
"That beam of light could have easily pierced your defenses with just one shot! We absolutely, positively must not take it head-on!"
"...I know, Bai Ling, you're so noisy," Hyacinth replied through gritted teeth.
Sixteen years ago, a similar astral jellyfish appeared over Chengdu, causing immense destruction.
The predecessors tried their best to stop it, but they still couldn't stop the jellyfish monster.
What's more, this jellyfish monster is even stronger than it was sixteen years ago!
"...How will you know it can't be solved if you don't try!"
Hyacinth muttered to itself, stubbornly raising its greatsword toward the jellyfish monster's tentacles and slashing with all its might!
"Snap!!"
The sensation of cutting something came from the hilt of the sword.
One of its tentacles was severed, and the wound was overflowing with astral energy, making it impossible to imagine the sheer amount of magic power within this strange creature.
"#####————!"
The jellyfish monster roared angrily.
Perhaps sensing the pain of having its tentacles severed, the surrounding tentacles immediately surged toward the hyacinth, as if to entangle and surround her.
The hyacinth tried to dodge.
But the tentacles were far more sensitive than imagined. After only two feints, the hyacinth was surrounded by those translucent jellyfish tentacles, as dense as a jungle.
"Oh no, we need to find a way to break through!" Bai Ling cried out anxiously.
With a swing of the greatsword, the sky-blue magical girl and the tentacles clashed.
But with each one cut off, more tentacles would fill the gap, rapidly shrinking the encirclement, determined to tightly entangle this uninvited guest!
The encirclement was about to close in, but three magic cannon beams struck the nearest tentacle, tearing open several gaps!
"Crack!!!"
"!"
Hyacinth looked back and exchanged a glance with the iris that had set up its magic cannon in the distance.
"Well done!"
Nan Xiaofeng loudly praised his teammates' support and seized the opportunity to escape through the gap.
Iris quickly stepped back, loading magic power into the magic cannon while carefully observing the unusually large jellyfish monster in front of her.
Attacking its tentacles alone is probably not enough to defeat this jellyfish monster, and may not even have a substantial impact on it.
We must find a way to attack the main body located high in the sky!
"Hyacinth! Don't get entangled with these tentacles; its main body is its source of power!"
"I'll try to get up there, you guys cover me!"
Having said that, the hyacinth deftly dodged the lash of its tentacles and soared upwards!
……
A fierce battle.
From the tentacles striking the umbrella, to being suppressed by the magic beam, the fierce battle between the magical girl trio and the astral jellyfish had lasted for more than ten minutes.
Although the time span was far shorter than that of the association's affiliated academy, the intensity of the battle completely surpassed all previous monster battles.
The Hero Association's live stream couldn't film up close; due to the influence of astral magic, it could only focus from a distance. Viewers could only see the figures of three magical girls jumping around the giant monster in the video.
The scene was spectacular and sparked a flurry of comments.
But as time went by, people were suddenly horrified to discover that neither magic cannons nor melee attacks with greatswords could cause the slightest damage to the jellyfish monster's body!
"Something doesn't seem right..."
Those watching the live stream were on the edge of their seats.
The screen started flooded with messages of encouragement for the magical girl, but most people chose to remain silent.
Anyone with eyes can see that the situation is indeed not good.
.
"How long until reinforcements arrive?"
Barely dodging a magic beam, Hyacinth immediately used her magic to repair the damaged greatsword in her hand and asked White Spirit, who was clinging to her back.
"...At least twenty minutes! This thing has disrupted the nearby astral magic, preventing the reinforcing magical girls from flying at full speed!"
"Are you kidding me? Hold on for another twenty minutes?... "
Hyacinth's heart tightened, and she said in surprise.
Let alone twenty minutes, I'm not even sure if I can last another five minutes!
The jellyfish monster's magic beams were terrifying; even a mere graze could shatter the greatsword formed from its own magic, let alone a direct hit.
How could you fire for twenty minutes at that intensity of firepower?
Bai Ling was well aware that her demands were somewhat excessive.
According to their predecessors, the four members of the Red Snow team could only last ten minutes against the Astral Jellyfish back then, so for the three members of Hyacinth to fight for fifteen minutes was already an exceptional performance.
To hold out for another twenty minutes, unless...
—The Shadow of Stars.
Bai Ling remembered the word her senior had told her.
The magical girls' new form—a powerful form capable of transforming a second time under unwavering faith! It was in this form that the magical girl Akashi single-handedly stopped the Astral Jellyfish from sixteen years ago!
But can Nan Xiaofeng, who doesn't even have a year of experience, really achieve this second transformation...?
Have you had enough fun?
“!!!!!!”
The deep voice coming from above made everyone stop abruptly, even Bai Ling looked up in a daze.
Beneath the umbrella of the astral jellyfish, a huge, malevolent eye opened, and contrary to common sense, it spoke, its voice deep and resonant, as if from the distant starry sky.
"What?! A talking weirdo?!"
Bai Ling trembled with shock, gripping Hyacinth's shoulders tightly, and said in horror.
Hyacinth glanced at the Stargazer behind her with a puzzled look, then looked at the Astral Eye with a furrowed brow.
[Such a weak attack thinks it can defeat me? Are magical girls these days so ignorant and foolish?]
"Who...who are you! Why are you...?"
Bai Ling cried out in terror.
I don't understand!
Strange beings are all beasts or objects tainted by astral magic, and theoretically they shouldn't have any self-awareness!
But the guy who started talking in front of me... completely overturned my understanding as a stargazer!
[After all these years, I thought the magical girls had grown strong enough to fight me, but I never imagined they were so weak.]
[Since that's the case, then I'll just take this city for myself! Hehehe!]
As Su Tianqing mentally controlled the jellyfish monster to utter classic villain lines, she thought to herself.
That's villainous enough, isn't it? He even thoughtfully designed his own script.
A super weirdo suffers a setback, then dedicates himself to 15 years of rigorous training before returning to seek revenge on the magical girl! What an amazing storyline!
But lines alone are not enough!
The magical girls aren't facing enough pressure! To force them to reveal a completely new form, the Astral Jellyfish must unleash its full power!
"—You eyesores! May you all disappear right here!"
"Oh no! Hyacinths! Run!"
Sensing the immense magical power erupting from the astral rift, Bai Ling cried out in panic.
Before the hyacinth could react, the magical beam of light emanating from the jellyfish's evil eye had already arrived!
"BOOM!!!"
"Whoa?!"
Magical Girl Hyacinth - Direct Hit!
