Chapter 27, Azure
Chapter 27, Azure
Secretary Ding's figure suddenly rose from the wall, his ugly bat-like head revealing protruding fangs and emitting a sharp hiss.
Claws tore through the air, leaving five afterimages of claw marks as they attacked the painted crow.
By the time she realized what was happening, the claw was already pressed against her face!
The crow rolled to the side to dodge, but a second claw strike followed immediately. She had no choice but to raise her cross-shaped light spear in front of her, barely managing to block the ferocious claw. She was sent flying by the force of the blow, and the light spear shattered inch by inch in mid-air.
Secretary Ding's fleshy wings were already in front of her in the next second.
Stab it!
The claws, capable of easily tearing through steel, left a trail of sparks on the girl's delicate skin.
Magic protects Eja's body, and as long as the gem hasn't dimmed, the magical girl is almost never injured!
Bang!
She was kicked away and slammed to the ground, scattering chunks of cement.
Even though the magic protected the body, the impact was still very real.
"Hehehehe."
Secretary Ding stood there, scratching her face. "Is this what magical girls taste like? Delicious! Sweet! I can't resist anymore, I have to devour you!"
A blur of motion vanished from the spot, and the bat monster shrieked as its continuous claw strikes formed an impenetrable web of cuts, each strike sending sparks flying.
Those were fragments of magic torn apart, and in a way, they were quite beautiful.
Cheng Chen got out of the car unhurriedly, as if he had been forgotten. Secretary Ding didn't seem to care at all that there was another person in Lu Kai's car.
He strolled leisurely into the cold storage warehouse, seemingly oblivious to the pool of blood on the ground.
"What a massive project!"
He sighed.
With the release of magical perception, more than a dozen black hands emerged from the shadows and opened the cold storage rooms one by one.
Soon, a whole row of girls' corpses, covered in frost and cold air, were laid out in front of him.
"...four, five, six."
Cheng Chen counted them; there were six people in total.
Without even checking, it's clear that these are magical girls who had just gained magic power but had their wish hearts stolen and were killed.
These magical girls might be the reason why the person behind the scenes manipulates subordinates like Lu Kai to cast a wide net and buy so many girls.
Some of the corpses already showed signs of bestiality, but this process was stopped, leaving only the bodies frozen in this icehouse.
"Why preserve the body?"
Cheng Chen muttered to himself.
At that moment, a deafening roar resounded.
The ceiling of the icehouse was broken open, and a petite figure crashed down.
Bat afterimages followed one after another.
Huiya gripped her light spear, constantly changing angles to block Secretary Ding's claws, but the speed difference was too great, making it impossible for her to defend both ends, and she could only be suppressed and worn down.
Suddenly, a spear of light appeared on the top of the bat's enormous head.
"Too slow!" Secretary Ding roared.
The spear of light only struck the afterimage, while the enormous bat body circled rapidly in the air, its claws and fangs attacking the girl simultaneously, attempting to use the momentum of its dive to deliver a final strangulation.
But this is the moment that Eya has been waiting for.
The light spear in her hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and in an instant, seven copies of the spear shaft were replicated, forming a spear-shaped chevaux-de-frise.
Secretary Ding's claws were repelled the moment they pierced into it, and the fangs stopped abruptly when they were only three centimeters away from the raven's neck.
"Got you."
Seven spears of light pierced his body simultaneously, pinning him in mid-air. Immediately afterwards, the raven made a fist with its right hand, gathering magic power into a giant cross-shaped spear over two meters long, which it thrust upwards and slammed into the bat's chest.
boom--
The demon's body flew backward, crashing through several steel frames before finally embedding itself in the reinforced concrete of the roof.
"Huff...huff..."
The raven was panting heavily, and applause could be heard from the lingering dust on the roof.
"Amazing! Amazing! As expected of a magical girl!"
Secretary Ding was unharmed and stood on a broken steel frame, flapping his wings.
Even the girl's magic hadn't been exhausted, so how could he, who had been in the upper hand all along, be easily defeated with a single blow?
After he clapped, the other door of the icehouse suddenly opened, a van drifted and swerved, and five demons of different shapes stepped out.
They remained silent, eagerly awaiting Secretary Ding's instructions.
"That's quite a spectacle!"
Cheng Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Actually, they are the main course I prepared for today. I just happened to get a faded [Heart of Wish] from that ungrateful woman, and I couldn't resist trying to see how much it could strengthen me."
Secretary Ding pulled at his own face.
"What a pity! What a pity! This faded Heart of Wishes is far too old. If it were intact, it might have become an omen of misfortune. But..."
His sinister bat-like head revealed undisguised greed.
"Adding yours, Miss, will definitely be enough!"
More than ten light spears appeared behind Huiya and slammed forward.
boom!
A massive explosion shot into the sky, and before the thick fog had dissipated, a dark purple figure charged toward Cheng Chen.
"Producer, run!"
Although Huiya is usually reckless, he is not stupid.
She didn't believe she could defeat six demons, including one that was close to the second tier of "Ominous".
"Don't move, miss, don't move."
Secretary Ding had appeared beside Cheng Chen at some point, her sharp nails pointing at his neck.
"If you come any closer, I might lose control of my strength."
The raven suddenly stopped, a hint of panic flashing in its eyes.
Secretary Ding chuckled, "Hehehe, you've trespassed on our territory and even brought a hostage? Miss, you're so thoughtful~ How about we discuss this? You deactivate your transformation, and I'll let him go."
"The producer..."
The girl hesitated, looking troubled.
His expression was completely different from what Secretary Ding had expected.
"What kind of expression is that?" he asked.
The crow did not answer.
"Ugh."
Cheng Chen sighed.
"What are you sighing about again?"
Secretary Ding's small red eyes immediately looked at him.
"I sighed. The demons these days are getting worse and worse. They have no originality in what they do. The hostage threat is such an old trick. Everyone is tired of seeing it." He shook his head.
"Kid, you better shut up, or else..."
Cheng Chen's expression turned cold: "I hate it when rats or other foul-mouthed animals are so close to me."
"What!?"
Before Secretary Ding could react, the wall behind him suddenly exploded.
A cyan sword emerged from the wall, trailing a dazzling stream of light, and pinned his bat-like body to the opposite side of the wall.
"Hmm..."
Blood flowed from her chest, and Secretary Ding's magical defenses were crushed and shattered almost instantly.
"I am the magical girl Azure, and I shall take over this place."
It turned out to be someone I knew.
Cheng Chen looked in the direction of the sound.
He had originally planned to put on a good show in front of his trainees and display his heroic spirit, but after sensing the unfamiliar magic, he chose to stop.
A magnificent cyan-clad girl slowly walked into the icehouse. The moment they saw her, the five demons who were holding the fort scattered in all directions.
Cang Qing raised his hand, and the beautiful sword-shaped white magic wand transformed into a streak of blue light, leaving only a few refracted streaks in the air.
pat.
With a gentle sheathing of his sword, blood gushed from the chests of the five demons, who collapsed to the ground.
The second-tier "Light Bell" level magical girl could almost completely overwhelm these nameless minions.
Her gaze met Cheng Chen's in mid-air, and she suddenly froze for some reason.
"Producer!"
Huiya came to Cheng Chen's side.
Upon hearing this address, Cang Qing's expression changed, clearly indicating that he understood the meaning behind it.
"Are you from Yinfu Entertainment?" she asked.
"Um."
Cheng Chen nodded. "My trainees and I discovered the trail of these demons and tracked them down. We're just about to take them out."
"That was too reckless!"
Cang Qing shook his head in dissatisfaction. How could a guy with no aura at all, plus a first-tier 'Fire Sprout' level magical girl, possibly deal with six demons of the same level?
"Thank you for your help."
Cheng Chen didn't refute, but smiled brightly and extended her hand.
After a moment's hesitation, Cang Qing still chose to gently shake hands with him.
"Are you a magical girl from the 'Wandering Star' lineage?" he asked.
"Yes, the wind magic from the 'Wandering Star' lineage."
Cang Qing subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword at her waist, which was also her magic wand.
Although they are called wands, they come in many styles and are not necessarily all shaped like staffs. For example, the pale blue wand in front of us looks more like a sword, while the raven's wand looks like a quill pen.
The wand's form is basically compatible with its owner's magic lineage. Eyjafjalla's "Oath" lineage should have been as elegant as a classical dancer, but she has always preferred to brute force with a light spear.
"What happened here?"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cang Qing frowned and looked at the scene in the ice storage.
A pool of blood and mutilated corpses lay scattered on the ground, along with fourteen frozen human figures still chilled to the bone, and bat demons that were not quite dead yet, still struggling to escape.
"Big news, big news."
Cheng Chen remained calm, as if this scene was entirely within his expectations.
"I've already contacted the company. Since Miss Cang Qing is also a witness, why don't you stay and help with the cleanup?"
