Chapter 308 Failure in the Competition
On the competition field, with Xia Qing and Han Xue losing their fighting ability, Bai Youqing stopped entangled with the magical girl Xiao Jing and returned to Li Xuanyu's side.
At this moment, the Kikyo Judgment Team still has two magical girls left, Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu, while the Osmanthus Judgment Team is still at full strength.
The mindset of the Osmanthus Magician just now is now the mindset of the members of the Osmanthus Judgment Team.
How could four magical girls lose to two magical girls?
"Xiao Qing, can you stall for three minutes?"
"Sister Xiaoyu, do you have another trump card up your sleeve?"
Bai Youqing looked at Li Xuanyu beside her, her eyes filled with surprise.
Could it be that Sister Xiaoyu has been keeping her abilities hidden all along?
"No, it's not exactly a special move, but I feel like we can give it a try." Li Xuanyu's expression turned slightly bitter when she saw Bai Youqing's hopeful eyes.
In this battle, the opposing ranged mage was practically the MVP, while she, also a ranged mage, hadn't even been able to fulfill her basic role. How could she possibly feel at ease with that? If she had spent even a little time learning purification magic beforehand, the Kikyo Judgment Squad wouldn't have been beaten so badly.
"Okay, Sister Xiaoyu, you can rest assured and leave them to me."
Seeing the guilt in Li Xuanyu's eyes, Bai Youqing looked away.
In any case, as long as they do their best, that's enough.
Even if they lose, Sister Violet won't blame them too much.
With Xia Qing and Han Xue eliminated, the Osmanthus Judge Team changed its previous defensive stance and began to rush towards Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu, who were the only remaining contestants on the field.
But blocking their way was a pale green figure.
Her gorgeous emerald green twin ponytails swayed gently in the wind, paired with a long, silky dress with a dark base and a glossy sheen, trimmed with pale green. A pair of snow-white stockings delicately encased her slender, beautiful legs, making her look pure and lovely.
Bai Youqing gripped the Green Ivy Sword tightly, the blade trembling slightly. She didn't know what kind of magical moves Li Xuanyu had prepared to deal with the Osmanthus Judgment Squad, but since she had made a promise, she would absolutely fulfill it.
She single-handedly held off four people for three minutes—just thinking about it seemed like an impossible task. But Bai Youqing felt no fear or dread. As the enemy drew closer, she became completely focused, like a high-speed computer rapidly analyzing the battlefield situation.
In the Osmanthus Judgment Team, Xiaowen is a control and interference type magical girl, and Xiaowu is a healing illusion type magical girl. In team battles, they are the ones that must be dealt with, but in the current special situation, they are not the most direct threat.
The only exceptions are Magical Girl Xiaofei and Magical Girl Xiaojing. They are the main damage dealers of the Osmanthus Judgment Squad and possess powerful attack capabilities. If they are allowed to pass, they will definitely deal a devastating blow to Sister Xiaoyu.
Therefore, her task was simple: to stall Xiaofei and Xiaojing, creating an opportunity for Li Xuanyu to cast her magic.
Almost the instant the idea flashed through her mind, Bai Youqing's figure blurred, and she dashed forward like an arrow released from a bow, heading straight for Magical Girl Xiaofei and Magical Girl Xiaojing.
Faced with Bai Youqing's fierce approach, Xiao Fei, a ranged magical girl, took a step back to maintain her distance, while the magical girl Xiao Jing directly charged forward. Whoosh!
The two people's magical artifacts collided violently, sparks flying everywhere.
Seeing their teammate fighting Bai Youqing again, the other two magical girls didn't stand idly by. Magical girl Xiaowen summoned the surrounding natural forces, and several thick vines rose from the ground, rushing towards Bai Youqing from behind. Magical girl Xiaowu, on the other hand, created an elemental storm around Bai Youqing, severing her connection to external magic and preventing her from absorbing any magical energy from her surroundings.
Magical Girl Xiaofei's magic is very simple and straightforward. Her fingers lightly touch her staff, just like Lux in the game League of Legends, gathering a dazzling ball of holy light energy, ready to launch a fatal blow.
They had no intention of wasting time with Bai Youqing here.
Faced with the onslaught from the Osmanthus Magician, Bai Youqing certainly couldn't continue to entangle with the magical girl Xiaojing. At that point, let alone helping Sister Xiaoyu hold off for three minutes, she herself would probably be instantly killed by the opponent.
The vines behind her had also arrived.
[Holy Light Invasion]
Bai Youqing uttered a soft murmur, and the Green Ivy Sword seemed to come alive in her hand. The holy light gathered at the tip of the sword was as scorching as the sun. After directly slaying the vine closest to her, Bai Youqing ignored the other vines and chose to directly collide with the magical longsword of the magical girl Xiaojing.
During this time, star-shaped golden ripples appeared on the vines that Bai Youqing had just cut off.
They began to spread rapidly in all directions, quickly weaving in the air into complex and exquisite strange patterns that looked very beautiful.
Moreover, these golden ripples even began to spread rapidly from Bai Youqing's Green Ivy Sword to Xiao Jing's Magic Longsword.
Magical girl Shizuka didn't know what this was, but when she saw the copper-restricting vines summoned by magical girl Aya suddenly wither, she became wary.
Even though she wanted to keep him occupied so that Magical Girl Xiaofei's magical attacks could hit him accurately, at this moment, she felt it wasn't worth the gamble.
The instant she broke free from the magical girl Shizuka, [Divine Protection]...
Bai Youqing quickly gathered the last of her magic power and summoned a golden magical shield around her body.
Boom!
Almost the instant she broke free from Xiao Jing's entanglement, the terrifyingly dazzling beam of light from the magical girl Xiao Fei shot over, violently bombarding the surface of Bai Youqing's protective shield. One second, two seconds... Bai Youqing's golden protective shield was consuming magic power at an extremely rapid rate.
Moreover, she was unable to replenish her magic power from the surrounding space. In just two or three seconds, Bai Youqing's smooth forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Do you want power?
Want to take on four opponents at once?
Almost simultaneously, everything went black before her eyes, as if she had been transported to another void world. This place looked extremely empty, with no designated sky or land, and she floated in the pale blue starry sky.
Relic Space?
She had been to this place a few times before, but for some reason, she suddenly couldn't get in anymore.
Unexpectedly, at this crucial moment, she would inexplicably enter this world.
Do you crave power?
As she pondered, that clear, melodious, and soft female voice rang out again.
Bai Youqing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar pale purple figure. She had long, soft, pale purple hair that fell gently over her shoulders, and her bright eyes were like two clear lakes, sparkling with curiosity and innocence.
She had fair and delicate skin and wore an exquisite little dress.
Isn't this the little girl who appeared in my last strange dream, the one who claimed to be my brother's daughter?
Auntie, your time is running out.
[You've probably noticed something unusual lately, haven't you? Something's been happening quietly behind the scenes.]
Don't you crave power?
Don't you yearn for Violet's approval?
Don't you want to get rid of those disgusting females around Violet?
It's not too late yet!
If you promise me just one thing, I'll give you everything you want!
Click, click.
The moment the magical shield shattered, Bai Youqing's figure flashed, and golden light rapidly flickered across her body. It was a powerful force originating from the depths of her soul, slowly flowing into her limbs and bones. She felt the magic power within her body like boiling spring water, endlessly filling every cell.
She made a breakthrough, and under such a critical situation, Bai Youqing's strength directly broke through from [Scattered Leaves] to [Broken Buds].
The Green Ivy Sword in her hand also changed due to her advancement; its previously dimming blade now emitted a faint green light. Each swing was accompanied by a whistling sound, as if even the air itself could not withstand its power.
[Holy Judgment!]
Bai Youqing took a deep breath, and a surge of emerald holy power erupted from her magical core, condensing at the tip of her sword. With astonishing speed and accuracy, she thrust it towards the magical girl Xiaojing in front of her.
As she swung her sword, a pale green light burst forth in the sky, creating a dazzling display.
This light is not just a visual shock, but also a tangible convergence of energy, gradually extending from the tip of the sword to form a giant lightsaber over forty meters long.
The blade was incredibly sharp, emitting a deep, resonant sound as it cut through the air, demonstrating its astonishing destructive power.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, the magical girl Shizuka's expression changed drastically. She never expected that Bai Youqing, who was about to be killed just now, would suddenly be at full health.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but she even used her ultimate skill at full health!
However, at this critical moment, a blue magical barrier rapidly lit up from the side, taking on a semi-solid state, as if composed of countless flowing blue particles, tightly connected to form a solid shield, blocking the magical girl Shizuka's path.
This is the magical girl Takeru making her move.
As a healing and supportive magical girl, she keeps a close eye on the situation on the battlefield.
Not only that, Xiao Wu was also continuously supplying Xiao Jing with magic power to enhance her defense and recovery abilities, ensuring that she had enough energy to resist this attack.
Boom!
Two completely different forces collided in mid-air, instantly creating a violent explosion. Light and sound filled the entire battlefield, making it impossible to look directly at them.
"Is it blocked?"
Just as the magical girl Shizuka was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a crack suddenly appeared in the light blue protective shield in front of her, amidst her terrified and frightened gaze.
He was blasted away by that huge lightsaber.
As the smoke cleared, the Osmanthus Magician looked at the several-meter-deep pit and immediately stopped chuckling.
She seemed to understand why Violet valued this magical girl so much.
Standing beside her, Violet looked in Bai Youqing's direction, but instead of joy at Bai Youqing's breakthrough, her delicate brows furrowed even deeper.
On the battlefield, with the elimination of magical girl Shizuka, the Osmanthus Judgment Team is left with three magical girls, making it a three-against-two situation.
"Be careful, that magical girl Green Ivy's magic is a bit strange."
Magical girl Xiaowu recalled the sudden shattering of her magic shield, her expression turning somewhat grave.
Although her attack power is weak, her protective ability is top-notch. In theory, her magic shield should be able to withstand one or two magic attacks, even those at the [Blooming Flower] level.
However, it was easily defeated by the magical girl Green Ivy.
"Yes, I understand. But there's no need to worry too much about her. Although every attack from this magical girl is very powerful, it also consumes a lot of magic power. I noticed that after she knocked Shizuka out of the arena, the intensity of the magic power emanating from her body weakened considerably."
Magical Girl Xiaowen slowly withdrew her gaze from Bai Youqing and spoke unhurriedly.
"Understood. Leave this magical girl to me. You guys deal with that magical girl Qingju. I have a feeling she's up to no good too," said the magical girl Xiaofei slowly.
Upon hearing Xiaofei's words, Magical Girl Xiaowu and Magical Girl Xiaowen exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
Having devised a strategy, the magical girl Xiaofei separated from the other two magical girls. Her goal was simple: to hold off Bai Youqing while Xiaowu and Xiaowen dealt with Li Xuanyu.
Bai Youqing watched helplessly as the members of the Osmanthus Judgment Team separated. She was powerless to do anything about it. She had rushed forward earlier to attract their attention and make them subconsciously ignore Li Xuanyu. But now, she couldn't even go to support Li Xuanyu. A magical girl in a golden magical dress was standing in front of her.
She could clearly feel that she was being stared at, and if she dared to turn her back to her, she would be met with that giant magical beam of light.
On the other side, Li Xuanyu watched as two figures rapidly approached her. She let out a soft breath, feeling the pressure in her heart increase dramatically. Two minutes had passed since the three-minute mark was set, but it was clear that Xiao Qing had indeed done her best, and had even eliminated one of them.
Now, it's time to put into practice the magical techniques she's been researching for so long.
[A thunderous judgment!]
"In the name of lightning, I will purify all of this!"
As Li Xuanyu finished chanting the final incantation, the magical energy fluctuations within a hundred meters of her began to become disordered, and the bright sunshine in the sky quickly darkened.
Clusters of thunderclouds crackling with lightning coalesced around her, and as the final incantation fell, a massive pentagram array appeared beneath her feet, shining as brightly as the North Star in the night sky, illuminating the entire dark battlefield.
This magic circle covered a very wide area, encompassing not only Li Xuanyu, the magical girl Xiaowu, and Xiaowen who was not far away, but also Bai Youqing and Xiaofei.
She learned this magic circle herself from the magic tutorials on CCSA, but she made some slight improvements during the learning process. It is still in the experimental stage and cannot distinguish between friend and foe.
But now, she can't care about that anymore.
"Xiao Qing, use Holy Light Protection!"
As Li Xuanyu shouted, the magic circle was fully activated, and she was surrounded by a halo of light flashing with blue and white electric arcs, as if she had become the incarnation of the goddess of thunder.
Rumble!!!
Azure arcs of electricity shot out from the thunderclouds surrounding her like a barrage of arrows, tearing through the sky and hurtling toward all the targets within the pentagram array.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, the magical girl Xiaowu stepped forward and quickly used her magic to create three magical shields, protecting all the members of the Osmanthus Judgment Squad.
However, she clearly underestimated the power of the magic circle. Almost immediately, within two or three seconds, her magic could no longer maintain the shield for the three people.
Therefore, she simply removed her shield energy and poured all her remaining magic power into the magical girls Wen and Fei.
The next second, countless arcs of electricity struck the magical girl Xiaowu's body, and amidst the sparks, she was blasted out of the arena.
"Xiao Wu!"
Amidst the chaos, before Li Xuanyu could even feel joy, she was met with a counterattack from the magical girl Xiaowen—a huge rock suddenly rose from the ground and slammed into her, sending Li Xuanyu out of the arena as well.
In the competition arena, only Bai Youqing and the magical girls Xiaofei and Xiaowen remained.
"You've lost."
"Magical Girl Xiaofei said calmly."
"I know."
Bai Youqing wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She finally understood why Li Xuanyu hadn't used this move from the beginning. Apart from the caster being immune to the attack, everyone else was a target of this magic array.
Kill a thousand enemies, but lose nine hundred and ninety-nine of your own.
"Then why won't you admit defeat?"
"Because I feel like I can take one more with me."
【Healing with Light】
Under Xiao Fei's surprised gaze, Bai Youqing let out a soft murmur, and the gems on her Green Ivy Sword emitted a warm glow, instantly restoring her condition by more than half.
【Light Wing Slash】
Bai Youqing attacked, her figure like a shooting star, her lightsaber gleaming as she charged straight towards her.
Clearly, the other party's goal was to take her down with them.
Magical Girl Xiaofei retreated and summoned a protective shield, assuming a defensive stance. However, Bai Youqing changed direction and sped directly towards Magical Girl Xiaowen, who was recovering.
At this moment, Xiaowen was the most severely injured because she and Xiaowu were in the very center of the magic circle. When she noticed Baiyouqing rushing towards her, she subconsciously mobilized her remaining magic power to defend herself. However, due to her recovery period, her movements were much slower, and she was unable to build an effective barrier in time.
boom!
Magical Girl Aya was eliminated immediately.
When the magical girl Xiaofei realized Bai Youqing's strategic intentions, she hurriedly tried to intercept her, only to find it was too late. Enraged, she quickly adjusted her stance, concentrated all her magic power, and unleashed a dazzling beam of magic, aimed directly at Bai Youqing's location.
With a deafening roar, the Osmanthus Judge Team won the match.
Off the field, Violet opened CCSA and quietly transferred half of the points of the Kikyo Judgment Team to the Osmanthus Judgment Team.
[Osmanthus Judgment Team: 36200, Rank: 1/39]
[Morning Glory Judgment Team: 32000, Rank: 2/39]
【Narcissus Judgment Team: 28200, Rank: 3/39】
[Kikyo's Judgment Team: 12300, Rank: 10/39]
The rankings on the leaderboard changed rapidly. The Osmanthus Judgment Team regained first place, while the Kikyo Judgment Team dropped directly to tenth place.
