Chapter 250: A Battle to the Death!
Gunfire erupted as special forces teams occupied the streets, joining the battle after the magical girls and the operations department agents.
With the enemy numbers increasing exponentially, the Magic Bureau's Operations Department finally realized the extent of its manpower shortage. Moreover, the number of Dark Crystal weapons they currently possessed was severely insufficient, making it impossible to fight against such a large number of enemies.
The Dark Crystals used by the Magic Bureau are mostly donated voluntarily by magical girls across the country. Apart from some magical girls using them themselves, there are still quite a few left over.
However, this number is still a bit too few to arm that many people, not to mention the research losses.
In this situation, the preparations made in advance by the Demon Surveillance Bureau came in handy. Although conventional firearms were unlikely to inflict effective damage on the evil creatures, that didn't mean they couldn't deal with the grunts.
Guns spewed flames, and with precise coordination among the special forces soldiers, each gun barrel spitting fire directly at the shadowy figures. Bullets rained down on the monsters emerging from the darkness.
A Shadow member had just poked his head out when his head was riddled with bullets. Although his body was still regenerating, the barrage of bullets made it difficult for him to regroup.
"Suppress! Suppress it!"
There was complete silence in the headset, except for a hoarse voice growling.
"Robotic dogs and drones, get them on top!"
"Keep them under control in this area. Don't let a single one escape. Hold on until the magical girl and the brothers from the Magic Bureau deal with the other monsters!"
With practiced skill, the bullets flowed like an endless tide, leaving no gaps in their supply.
As the battle continued, more and more enemies appeared in the darkness.
Apart from the Shadow Clan, the invasion of the Outer Demons was clearly adding fuel to the fire, and to the fire, it was fuel scalded with hot oil.
The towering flames almost illuminated the sky, while shouts of killing and explosions continued down the street, creating a unique symphony.
In the eastern suburbs of Snow City, Tangcao, having just dealt with countless Shadow Clan members, once again plunged into battle.
This time, however, her enemy was an old adversary.
"You heretics really know how to pick your timing!"
A dazzling white light burst forth on the dimly lit street, and amidst the howling wind, a shower of tiny ice crystals scattered, making a sharp sound in the wind.
Tangcao gripped the Zhenbing Swift Sword, which exuded a chilling aura, tightly in her hand. After taking several steps back, she finally came to a steady stop on the ground.
Not far away, a strange figure slowly stood up from the black mist.
It was enormous, more than two people tall, covered in rough black scales, and its lower body reeked of a nauseating stench. Its head was like a lion's, with blood-red eyes that gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, and its mouth was full of sharp fangs.
With each breath, two plumes of black smoke billowed from between his teeth, and a cold, metallic laugh echoed in the air.
"Hmph... I never thought I'd have the chance to meet such a rare magical girl. Ice element... I've never tasted anything like this before."
"Eat me? Aren't you afraid I'll shatter?"
Tang Cao stared at the other party with icy eyes, but she was also secretly shocked.
From that brief exchange just now... no, that shouldn't even be considered an exchange; I was merely launching a sneak attack before the opponent could climb out of the gap.
With a single sword strike, the Zhenbing longsword didn't even leave a mark; instead, it was repelled by the scales on the opponent's body. This kind of enemy...
It has completely exceeded the level she is capable of handling.
Damn it, how could there be such a large gap in Snow City?!
Xiao Bai, standing beside her, also had a solemn expression. Unlike Tang Cao, as a spirit beast, she could clearly sense the other party's strength, which was a terrifying existence no less than Qiong Niu. Even Qin Nan would have to think twice before coming here!
"Hehehe... A Red-level... Looks like I won't be able to enjoy myself to the fullest, but it doesn't matter. I've never tasted a magical girl of your type before, I hope your flesh will be quite delicious..."
"Die!"
With a soft utterance, a powerful surge of ice elemental magic erupted from Tangcao's body, encircling the Zhenbing Swift Sword, causing the sword to burst forth with light.
Sensing the killing intent emanating from Tangcao, the Black Lion Outer Path Demon let out a low roar, a muffled thunderous sound echoing between heaven and earth, causing the ground to tremble.
Facing the oncoming stench, Tangcao took a step forward, her ice blade drawing two pure white trails on the ground as she brandished her Zhenbing Longsword and charged straight at the Black Lion Outer Path Demon.
The Swift Ice Sword, carrying a chilling aura, sliced through the air in an instant, striking the Black Lion Demon's left side at the waist.
The ice sword and the black scales made a crisp sound.
However, this attack only made him sway slightly, and there wasn't even the slightest dent on his black scales.
"Ice Soul: Kaleidoscope - Part 1"
The surrounding air cooled rapidly, and countless ice spikes rose from the frost and snow, hurtling towards the Black Lion Demon from all directions.
Before these ice spikes could even get close to their opponent, a burst of black energy suddenly spread out, and the ice spikes in mid-air were shattered into pieces by the immense force.
The Black Lion Demon extended its enormous claws and reached out to grab Tang Cao. Tang Cao was already prepared. She nimbly touched the ground with her toes and spun rapidly in place. In the blink of an eye, the Zhenbing Longsword slashed three white lights across its arm.
But the Black Lion Demon seemed to feel no pain. With a flick of his wrist, a burst of black mist erupted and landed directly in front of Tangcao.
""Ice Soul·Yu"! "
As Tang Cao chanted the magic incantation, an ice shield instantly materialized in front of her. The next moment, the black mist slammed solidly into the ice wall.
Kama!
A violent roar exploded, lasting less than three seconds. The ice wall shattered the moment cracks appeared, and a terrifying impact enveloped Tang Cao.
Amidst the smoke and dust, Tangcao's figure streaked across the sky like a shooting star.
She slammed the tip of her sword into the ground, trying to dissipate the force, but even so, she was still sent flying dozens of meters before finally stopping, leaving a gruesome mark on the ground.
Tang Cao's hand, gripping the sword, trembled slightly as she struggled to her feet.
Only at this moment did she realize just how enormous the gap in combat power between herself and her opponent truly was.
I've already given it my all, but looking at my opponent, it seems he's not even serious, not even offering a proper counterattack. "Is that all?"
The Black Lion Demon looked at Tang Cao, who had stood up, with a savage grin, his eyes filled with ferocity and killing intent.
"Is this the power of a magical girl, hailed as one of the rarest elements in the world? This is too weak, far too weak!!"
"Akara!"
Xiao Bai quickly approached Tang Cao, baring his teeth and bowing his body to face the black lion demon opposite him.
Looking at the harmless white cat, the black lion's mockery intensified. "Only fit to rely on each other's strength to barely survive—has this generation of magical girls really degenerated to this extent?!"
"Fine!"
Unexpected.
The Black Lion Demon stood up, raised his hand and lifted the mane on his chest, revealing a black crystal on his chest. Upon seeing the crystal, Tang Cao and Xiao Bai both looked somewhat surprised.
The dark crystal was covered with a dense web of cracks, looking as if it could collapse at any moment!
"See? "
The Black Lion Heretic Demon let out a low growl.
"You don't need to bother looking for it. My weakness is right here, and I also suffered some injuries in the battle in the other world."
As he spoke, the Black Lion Outer Path Demon extended his finger and gently tapped the Dark Crystal.
"If your attack can shatter it, it might kill me...:"
"But if you can't do that..."
"Then you'll become my rations to restore my fighting strength!!"
A roar swept out, surging in all directions like a tsunami. At the same time, the terrifying energy fluctuations of the Black Lion Demon were constantly creating thunderous explosions.
Black winds churned in the sky, and the city seemed poised for destruction beneath the dark clouds.
A terrifying gust of wind swept over them, and Xiaobai was thrown off balance, landing next to Tangcao.
This energy is almost as powerful as that of the Qiong Niu, right? Keep in mind, the previous kills of the Qiong Niu were mainly due to Qin Nan dealing the damage, but now...
Before Tang Cao had much time to think, the black lion demon had already launched its attack.
A black shadow flashed, and its massive size revealed a terrifying speed completely different from its weight.
A cloud of black mist mixed with lightning gathered on the claw and slammed down heavily from above Tangcao's head!
boom!!
The storm instantly tore the earth apart, churning up the soil beneath the hard ground.
Tang Cao fled the moment the other party made their move. Holding a sword in one hand and Xiao Bai in the other, she slowly landed on the street lamp.
Looking down at the chaotic street below, Tang Cao's face turned pale.
An enemy of this caliber is impossible to defeat with a single blow.
However, if the dark crystal could be shattered...
"Ice Soul: Kaleidoscope!"
Tang Cao suddenly raised the Swift Sword in his hand, and in the air behind him, streaks of True Ice Bee Sting rapidly gathered and shot out with white light in the blink of an eye, heading straight for the Black Lion Outer Path Demon.
Ding ding ding ding!!
The Black Lion Demon turned slightly, and then, streams of pure ice wine struck the surface of its body, producing a series of crisp sounds on its black scales.
However, this powerful attack only left some marks on the opponent, and the marks disappeared without a trace after only a few breaths.
Sensing the magical power emanating from the Tangcao, the Black Lion Outer Path Demon sneered.
"What a pity. Given time, you might become a powerful witch, but for now, you're just a Red-rank witch—" "Who told you I'm a Red-rank witch!"
Before he could finish speaking, a white light burst forth from the streetlight, accompanied by a delicate shout!
