Chapter 296 Weaknesses of the Death Cleaver
In the dead of night, Yeqiu City gradually fell into silence, with only a few scattered lights dotting the darkness, like the loneliest stars in the night sky.
Narakuhoshi walked ahead, with four magical orbs floating behind her, inside which lay unconscious girls.
Crossing the silent streets, Naraku Hoshi looked at the familiar neighborhood. Finally, she was home. The night in Yeqiu City was unusually quiet, completely different from Ninomiya City. If she dared to carry four unconscious girls through the streets and alleys in Ninomiya City at night, it would be very likely that she wouldn't bleed.
Back home, Narakuhoshi gently pushed open the door, settled each injured magical girl on the bed, carefully covered them with blankets, and then returned to the living room.
Seeing that Violet's room was still closed and there was no sound, Narakuhoshi looked puzzled. Normally, Violet was always very vigilant and could quickly detect any movement. Narakuhoshi knew this well, after all, she was one of the people who often raided at night.
But today was different. The magical girl sneaked out, and when she brought the magical girl back home just now, there was no movement from Violet's side.
However, she then thought that Violet had been busy with this and that all day, and must be overworked.
Of course, it's also possible that Violet already received the news when Kikyo's Judgment Squad was fighting the Grim Reaper Cutter. Just from the way the Grim Reaper Cutter kept talking about Princess Phantom Butterfly, it was clear that the other party must be a loyal follower of Violet.
"Never mind, I'll ask again tomorrow," Naraku Hoshi yawned, changed into a clean set of pajamas, lay down on his bed, and was soon enveloped in a deep sleep.
As dawn broke, the soft sunlight, like fine threads, quietly slipped into the room and landed beside Bai Youqing's bed.
The girl slowly lifted her eyelids, and the first thing she saw was the familiar white ceiling and the warm decorations around her, which left her somewhat bewildered.
In her memory, she was knocked away by that Grim Reaper Cutter, and her whole body was in pain.
Without thinking twice, Bai Youqing immediately jumped off the bed, her bare feet touching the floor, and hurried towards the other magical girls' rooms.
Her heart raced the whole way, her mind filled with thoughts of her magical girl companions' safety.
That abyssal beast yesterday was truly terrifying; she was knocked away with just one move.
Pushing open the door, Bai Youqing found everyone lying safely in bed, some still fast asleep, others just waking up, looking around with the same confused expressions.
Seeing this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that Xia Qing and the others were alright.
But here's the question: did they win or lose last night? And where did that Abyss Beast go?
"Sister Xia Qing, Sister Han Xue, Sister Xiao Yu, are you alright?"
"Hey... Xiao Qing, are you alright?"
When Xia Qing saw Bai Youqing walk into the room, looking completely unharmed, she was a little stunned. Yesterday, she had personally witnessed the Grim Reaper Cutter smash Bai Youqing into a deep pit.
She thought the other person was dead!
"It's okay. Although I'm a little tired, it's not a big problem."
Bai Youqing shook her head.
He looked at Xia Qing, Han Xue, Li Xuanyu, and the others, and asked, "How are you all? Did you kill that Abyss Calamity Beast?"
Xia Qing shook her head with a wry smile:
"No, our moves had no effect on that Abyssal Beast; it killed us all in one hit."
As everyone looked at each other, trying to piece together the fragments of memory from last night.
Naraku Hoshi appeared at the doorway, yawning, and looked at the magical girls gathered in the room with some surprise: "You guys are up so early."
"Sister Tianyin, what exactly happened last night? Did you kill that Abyss Calamity Beast?"
Upon seeing Narakuhoshi, everyone's attention immediately focused, and they all cast questioning glances at him.
Nai Luoxing: ""
Naraku Hoshi was slightly taken aback, then explained with a somewhat complicated expression, "Ahem, I fought him for more than ten rounds, and we were evenly matched. Then he suddenly retreated, and that's when I brought you all back."
"Thank you so much, Sister Tianyin. Otherwise, our Kikyo Judgment Team would probably have been wiped out there." Bai Youqing still felt a bit scared when she thought about it.
The other magical girl juniors had even more complicated expressions. At this moment, they no longer had their previous confidence. The Death Cutter from last night had completely destroyed their self-confidence.
"It's alright, you don't need to be so sad. That Abyss Calamity Beast is different from other Abyss Calamity Beasts. Its strength is even stronger than some Abyss Demon Generals. It's normal that you can't win." Naraku Hoshi hurriedly comforted the disheartened magical girl junior in front of him.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, our Kikyo Judgment Team isn't that fragile. Failure is the mother of success, right? One failure is nothing." Xia Qing nodded, and her face quickly regained its confident smile.
"That's good." Narakuhoshi nodded.
As the group entered the living room and glanced at the table as usual, it was empty, the table usually laden with breakfast dishes. The petite figure in the kitchen didn't emerge with her usual smile to greet them warmly, "Time for breakfast, you lazybones."
It's worth noting that Sister Violet is usually the first one to get up, and preparing breakfast for them is a way of showing care and warmth that has become part of her daily routine.
However, today, that familiar liveliness and aroma have suddenly vanished without a trace.
*Click* That was the sound of the door opening. Violet slowly walked out of the room, her face pale, her brows furrowed, one small hand covering her head, her steps slightly unsteady, looking weak and sick. "Sorry, I had a bit of a headache today and woke up late. I'll prepare breakfast for you now." Seeing that the Kikyo Judgment Team had already gathered around the table, Violet said somewhat apologetically.
"Sister Violet, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Bai Youqing was the first to rush forward, anxiously asking, her voice filled with concern and worry. The other magical girls also gathered around, their eyes fixed on Violet, their gazes filled with worry.
It's unbelievable that the usually strong and reliable Violet Sister is now so weak.
Having been cared for so long, they had forgotten that Sister Violet was also an ordinary person who could get sick and have a fever.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I just have a bit of a headache, you don't need to worry about it."
Looking at the magical girls in front of her, who all seemed to have lost their world, Violet smiled, feeling a warmth in her heart.
"Please wait a moment while I prepare breakfast for you."
"no."
Xia Qing refused directly. She first placed her palm on Violet's smooth forehead to feel her body temperature. After confirming that Violet didn't really have a cold or fever, she breathed a sigh of relief. "You used to prepare breakfast for us. Let us prepare breakfast for you today, Sister Violet."
"Agreed."
Seeing the enthusiastic magical girl juniors, Violet couldn't object anymore, so she obediently sat on the sofa and watched these magical girl juniors barge into the kitchen like elves.
As soon as the door closed, Xia Qing's face immediately darkened.
She looked at the other magical girls. "I've never cooked at home. What about you?"
"what?"
Han Xue, Li Xuanyu, and Tianyin looked at each other and said, "So you can't cook? Then why did you say it so confidently? We all thought you could cook!"
"How about we order takeout?" Xia Qing suggested softly.
Bai Youqing: "
Bai Youqing sighed softly and said, "I'll do it. You guys assist me."
"Xiaoqing, can we really trust you?"
Xia Qing looked at Bai Youqing with suspicion. In her eyes, the other party had never said that she could cook.
For her, she was more willing to believe Li Xuanyu, the daughter of a noodle shop owner, than the former.
"It's packed with delicious food."
Bai Youqing snorted coldly, "I only cook for the people I like."
"~Only people who like you would be willing to accept your terrible cooking. Okay, enough joking! Commander Bai, give orders to your four soldiers, we're ready."
While Violet was busy in the kitchen, she checked her phone. CCSA by Kikyo had updated again, posting a picture of a dimly lit night scene along with a few elegant lines of poetry: "The moon hangs in the sky, a lonely shadow sways, thoughts linger; silver light spills across the window, awakening old memories in my heart."
Violet pouted. Is Kikyo the Magician in love?
hiss~
Just as Violet was about to leave and browse through a few more CCSA news articles, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and rushed into the bathroom.
Didn't I just go once already?
Here we go again!
After a long while, Violet came out of the toilet.
The magical girl juniors' meals were ready, and the table was filled with all sorts of delicious food, colorful and fragrant.
Violet recognized the familiar dishes and knew that her younger sister, Qianjin, had cooked them.
"Sister Violet, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"
The magical girl juniors looked at Violet with excitement, their eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness.
To be honest, this was their first time cooking, and it would be a lie to say they weren't excited.
"Mmm, let's eat together."
Violet felt a little embarrassed by their gazes.
During the meal, Violet seemed to be serving the magical girls two extra bowls of rice, as if to make them happy.
This made Bai Youqing, who had been paying close attention to Violet, much happier.
Regardless, her brother really enjoyed the food she cooked, so she wasn't entirely useless. After eating and drinking her fill, Violet put the dishes in the kitchen and washed them. In a way, this was also a promise she made to Bai Youqing.
If she cooks, Bai Youqing washes the dishes; if the other person cooks, Violet washes the dishes.
After wiping away the water stains, Violet returned to the living room and found that the Bellflower Judgment Team was unusually quiet today. Usually, they would be watching videos and playing games, but today they seemed quite different.
"Is something the matter? Why are you all looking at me like that?" Violet asked.
"Sister Violet, we'd like to ask you about the Abyss Calamity Beast, the Death Cutter. What are its attack methods and weaknesses?" Xia Qing asked.
"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Upon hearing the familiar names, Violet looked at these magical girl juniors with a hint of suspicion.
Although she had the magical girls AFK during this time, the abyssal monsters they fought were all carefully selected by her, given their current strength.
Let alone the Death Cutter, even the Abyss Cutter at the [Asura] level would probably have some trouble.
Noticing Violet's questioning gaze, Xia Qing coughed a few times and solemnly took out his phone. The phone was reporting on the outbreak of the Black Tide crisis. Although it mentioned the Death Cutter, it was only mentioned briefly.
"Um... cough cough, we saw the name Death Cutter when we were browsing the news yesterday, but the Abyss Beast Handbook we studied didn't seem to have much information about it, so we wanted to ask about it."
Violet naturally doesn't care what her magical girl juniors say; she believes everything they say.
So she looked at Ziguang and Tianyin, who knew the details of the situation, but at this moment the other party was completely oblivious to what was going on and only focused on reading the classics.
误.
Why does that book in the other person's hand look so familiar?
Abyss Chronicles: The Complete Book of Otherworldly Languages
Violet: "
After a long while, Violet, who recognized what kind of book it was, fell silent. She was now certain that the magical girls must have met with Death's Cutting Phantom Four last night, and that they had been beaten up. Otherwise, these magical juniors wouldn't have been so well-behaved today.
Violet chuckled helplessly. She hadn't even intended for these magical girl juniors to get beaten up, but instead, they had already willingly accepted the beating.
"The Death Cutter, as its name suggests, is no ordinary abyssal beast. It is an advanced abyssal creature of the Abyssal Cutter, and it has four main characteristics:"
"First, his body is enormous and covered with a layer of jet-black scales. Most magical attacks cannot penetrate his armor. Only magical girls with holy light attributes can harm him."
Upon hearing what Violet said, Bai Youqing instantly understood why she had been completely beaten up by the other party.
"Secondly, its scythe arms can tear through steel and magic shields in an instant. Basically, once the opponent gets close, there are basically no shields to stop it. And its scythe arms are also extremely tough, so they can be used as a means of defense in battle."
"Third, the Death Slayer possesses the power to manipulate shadows. They can disappear from one place in an instant and then suddenly reappear in another dark place. This makes it almost impossible for magical girls to catch his true whereabouts, whether he is attacking or escaping."
These two and three points, many magical girls looked at each other, they were basically all taken away by a single move.
Seeing the Kikyo Judgment Team's expressions, Violet roughly understood what was going on. She smiled faintly and continued:
"No, Death Slicer has one last move, which is Spirit Harvest. Death Slicer can sense the fear and despair of the surrounding life forms, and then he can use these negative energies to strengthen himself. When hunting, he releases a special energy wave that directly impacts the mental defenses of his prey, plunging them into deep panic and despair, thus easily killing them."
"Huh? Isn't this cheating? He has such high PHY damage, and he even has MEN damage!"
Xia Qing couldn't hold back any longer.
"Xia Qing, what do PHY damage and MEN damage mean?"
"It's physical damage and magical attacks," Xia Qing explained.
"Then, Sister Violet, what are the weaknesses of the Death Slicer's Float?" Bai Youqing asked.
Violet paused for a moment, then slowly said:
He has two main weaknesses:
"Full one, that is, the eyeball."
For most abyssal beasts, their eyes are their weak points, and Death's Cutting Float is no exception. However, unlike other beasts, its eyeballs are protected by a strong protective membrane, about two or three centimeters thick. Even when a beam of magic strikes it, it only leaves a mark but does not break through the protective membrane.
Therefore, if you really want to hurt someone, you have to gouge out their eyes just before their eyelids close.
It has two weaknesses, namely the place where the Grim Reaper cuts through the air.
The Grim Reaper is a killing machine. Its torso, comprised of over 80% of its body from top to bottom, with the remaining 20% being its head and torso, is completely encased in armored armor with extremely sharp edges. Even without using its scythe arms, it can easily slice its enemies into several pieces with its rampage. However, when it launches an attack, all its armored armor converges at its forebody, revealing its weakness: like most arthropods, its excretory system is its Achilles' heel.
"No, this is way too difficult."
Before Xia Qing knew the other party's details, she still had some confidence. But now that she knows the details, she feels that she doesn't even have the will to resist when she meets the other party.
"It's alright. You're just not strong enough yet. A few more months of training will be enough," Violet said with a light laugh.
"Okay, with you saying that, Sister Violet, we can rest assured."
"That little Grim Reaper's Slicing Float will be a piece of cake for her as long as Sister Violet is around!"
Violet was quite pleased to see her magical girl juniors regain their confidence.
But when she turned her head and saw Narakuhoshi diligently studying the Abyss Language, her feelings instantly became complicated.
Is Tianyin now surrendering to the Abyss?
