Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret - Chapter 71



71. Did Youyu get killed by Wuyue?

“Ha! Ha…”

Ignoring the injuries on his body, he ran, gasping for breath, moving as fast as he could until he reached the location Youyu had mentioned.

Baiyu saw a scene like this—

The torn-up ground, the broken trees.

And beside the “Youyu” on the ground, the charred earth.

Looking in other directions, she saw Wuyue leaning against a tree, clearly having passed out.

And then there was… the cake that Youyu had said he would customize for Wuyue.

But now, that cake had been smashed into the ground, reduced to nothing—no, or rather, there was not even a trace left, as it had been completely obliterated by the battle that had just occurred.

And the culprit behind all this was…

“Hey, Magical Girl Blue Night.”

That black-and-white figure looked at her, grinning mockingly.

“Seems like you’re a bit late to arrive, huh?”

“……”

“Snake Knight, did you do all of this?”

Baiyu whispered.

Surprisingly, after witnessing this scene, Baiyu did not show any signs of anger; instead, she remained in an unimaginable state of calm.

She was very calm, extremely calm.

Because she had already begun to consider how she would go about making this Snake Knight suffer the most before sending him to his death.

She didn’t even care whether she could defeat him or not.

So, her fists were already cracking with tension.

“What I did? Heh… compared to that, let’s first take a look at your current state.”

Facing Bai Yu’s gaze, which seemed like it wanted to kill him, the Serpent Knight showed no fear; instead, his tone became even more playful:

“You look like you want to chop me into a thousand pieces… What? Do you want to kill me? Let me tell you in advance, this matter has nothing to do with me, okay? After all, you should know better than I do who created those monsters you encountered on the road, right?”

“Or are you choosing to ignore this fact and direct all your hatred towards me?”

“……”

Without responding to the Serpent Knight’s question, Bai Yu answered with action—just in an instant, with her liquefaction ability, she slipped through the cracks in the ground and appeared right in front of the Serpent Knight.

Then, her right hand formed a knife-like shape, radiating a strong blue light, and she swung it horizontally towards the Serpent Knight’s neck.

“…… Hmph.”

In the face of Bai Yu’s attack, the Serpent Knight made no attempt to evade; he simply stood there, taking her strike head-on.

“Bang!”

“?!”

When her hand struck the Serpent Knight’s neck, Bai Yu realized that her magically enhanced, high-pressure water attack couldn’t slice through him like cutting into mud; instead, it rebounded against him!

Realizing this, Bai Yu intended to escape using her liquefaction ability, but saw that the Serpent Knight had raised his Western sword at some point, now enveloped in dark purple flames.

“Boom!”

With a simple forward slash of the sword, the Serpent Knight unleashed a crescent-shaped wave of high-temperature flames that shot towards Bai Yu.

“!!!”

Seeing the flames flying towards her, Bai Yu, thanks to her recent training from battles with Wu Yue, quickly halted her liquefaction state. She stomped her right foot, and an ice wall, exuding cold air, erupted from the ground in front of her.

The flames exploded against the ice wall, shattering it instantly and sending up a cloud of smoke.

In the next moment, a dark figure—the Serpent Knight—burst through the smoke, appearing right in front of her.

“What…! Ugh!”

Before Bai Yu could react, she felt a force strike her abdomen, sending her flying backward, crashing to the ground and rolling over.

Then, she reverted from her transformation.

“Tsk tsk… Look at you, you’re just like that magical girl from earlier.”

Seeing her in such a sorry state, the Serpent Knight shook his head, sighed, and said:

“I didn’t expect those obstacles on the road to drain you so much, Lan Ye. You clearly know you no longer have the strength to fight me, yet you recklessly charged in. Isn’t that just asking for death?”

“I thought you could bring me some amusement… Looks like I waited in vain~”

“You bastard…!”

At that moment, Bai Yu could no longer hold back and spoke up, her words laced with intense anger:

“Hey, what on earth have you done?!”

“You killed Wuyue, you killed Youyu, you killed them… all of them!”

“…At this point!”

Saying this, Bai Yu slammed her fist into the ground, then trembled as she got back up, her right hand clutching the dimming sapphire, staring at him, and shouted:

“How can you still be here, still dare to talk about fun?!”

“…”

“It seems you’ve let your anger cloud your judgment, Lanye.”

“Uh?!”

After a sigh, the Serpent Knight grabbed Bai Yu’s arm and, with a swift motion, brought her close to Wuyue, then “threw” her down beside Wuyue.

Watching Bai Yu crash into the tree Wuyue was leaning against, she quickly checked Wuyue’s injuries, finding her unhurt, and hurriedly turned to check on Youyu’s condition.

Before she could act, the Serpent Knight stood in her way.

Then, with a tone of regret, he said:

“What a pity, Lanye, you arrived just a moment too late to witness this spectacle.”

“Otherwise… I wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of explaining it to you, or perhaps, you would have seen an even more delightful expression on your face.”

As he spoke, the Serpent Knight pointed to Wuyue’s fist, the one used to strike Youyu.

“Look at that red thing on it.”

“…”

Maintaining her vigilance, Bai Yu didn’t immediately check the thing on Wuyue’s fist.

But when she turned to look at Wuyue’s fist, she discovered the red liquid.

That liquid was dried blood.

“Aren’t you curious about what just happened?”

Seeing Bai Yu still trying to grasp the situation, the Serpent Knight smiled and said:

“She wasn’t injured, and negative beings don’t have blood like this.”

“So… let me tell you what just happened, shall I?”

“Just as I arrived here…”

“This magical girl personally killed that man.”

“Hmm… the reason is simple: that man was turned into a negative beast, and that’s why he was ruthlessly slain by this magical girl~”

…

At first, Bai Yu didn’t believe the Serpent Knight’s words.

But… after turning to take a closer look at Youyu.

For some reason, she felt that the air around her had suddenly become cold.

“Why, Yuyu’s body, there is a negative beast’s breath?” She murmured with a hint of fear.

“Could it be… before I came here, Yuyu was really turned into a negative beast?”

And was killed by Wuyue?

In fact, in my mind, the image of “Snake Knight” is based on Kamen Rider Saga, but I won’t describe his appearance.
