Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to become a witch

Page 218

Chu Hua turned around and glanced at Aden, and all the dozen or so eyes on the side of his head were focused on him.

"Anyone will do, but you absolutely cannot!"

"Ah! That doesn't matter, let me dedicate myself to you!" Aden was intoxicated by the holy light and rushed towards Chuhua with fervor.

"The boss has gone mad."

"He's been insane for a long time, didn't you know?"

"Haha...that seems true too."

The pirates who had detached from Mio's body watched helplessly as their captain transformed into a stream of light, merging into Chu Hua's body and healing her wounds.

“The atmosphere has reached this point.” One of them turned around and glanced at his companions behind him. “Why don’t we die too?”

"Sigh, after committing so many evil deeds in this life, being able to become part of a beautiful girl now is a fitting end."

"Can you please not make it sound so disgusting?"

"..."

"Never mind, let's all go together."

They exchanged a glance, then walked up together, transforming into one of the countless golden rays that merged into Chu Hua's body.

Golden light bathed Chu Hua's body, turning his jet-black carapace white-gold, transforming his tattered wings into pure white feathers, and turning his dozen or so ferocious eyes into a single golden vertical pupil.

It's as if Chu Hua is gradually transforming from a jet-black berserker into a pure white paladin.

For some reason, Chu Hua suddenly remembered the first familiar she and Xiangzi encountered in the Nirvana barrier, the White Queen Dolores.

Am I starting to resemble it now?

"—You—! You actually took my power!"

Mio watched helplessly as her tentacles withered into eight flat pieces, glaring angrily at Hatsuka standing on the seabed.

That wasn't your power to begin with!

The beast, its entire body turned platinum, flapped its wings and vanished from the spot.

The wind that held the vortex away disappeared, the ocean closed up once more, and she transformed into a shooting star, soaring into the sky.

“Please return that divine miracle to us!”

"Please rescue us from this abyss of darkness!"

"Please watch over us through this long night!"

The song of the soul resounded through the night sky.

Dark clouds obscured the entire sky, and lightning and thunder were brewing within them.

The rain started to pour.

The white behemoth and the Great Wall-like sea dragon were intertwined.

[Maglev][Temporary Ocean Current][High-Pressure Bubble][Offshore Ripple][Roaring Tide][Water Column Gushing]...

Mio used the seawater to its fullest potential, wave after wave crashing against Hatsuka's body, which was constantly teetering on the brink of destruction.

But she was also injured.

Although her new body, blessed by the souls, was not yet strong enough to defeat Mio, it was already capable of inflicting damage on her.

Therefore... when Mio is injured, her soul flows out and merges into Hatsuka's body.

Hatsuka's wounds will be healed by the newly joined souls, but Mio's power continues to drain away.

“Please return that divine miracle to us!”

With a slash of its claws, one of Mio's tentacles fell off.

"Please rescue us from this abyss of darkness—!"

With another claw strike, the resulting wind pressure ripped off another tentacle.

"Please watch over us through this long night—!"

Golden souls scattered across the sky, falling like raindrops.

They shouted and sang.

"Our beacon!"

"Your light will forever illuminate the path ahead!"

The thick, dark clouds were pierced by the golden light of the first bloom, and the sky suddenly became clear.

"Do not--!"

Mio roared in despair.

"Why can you take my power away! Why do you always have things I can't have!"

“I understand your predicament…” Chu Hua grabbed Mio’s tentacle and tore it off forcefully.

Tear--!

"You do not understand!"

Mio roared in anguish, tears streaming from her eyes.

"Do you know how envious I am of you?! Do you know how much I dream of leaving this place?! Do you know how I feel every time you mention Toyokawa Shoko, say you don't want to leave, or talk about your aunt and uncle's gentle and earnest advice?! I've never had anything you have, all I have is you! Do you know that! If even you leave me, what will I have left?"

"sorry......"

Chu Hua plunged her claws into Mio's chest.

"ah--------!"

Mio's scream pierced the sky.

The sharp claws pierced through the witch's outer shell, sinking straight into the barrier within her body, and grasped the boulder, equivalent to Mio's heart.

"Mio..."

She hugged Mio.

Countless cracks burst forth from his body.

"I know I owe you too much... too much that I can never repay."

"However, your tragedy, your past, the moment you reached out to innocent people, it no longer absolved you. You are no longer a victim, but a perpetrator..."

Bang.

Chu Hua clenched her fist and crushed her heart into pieces.

Mio collapsed onto Chu Hua's body, her body, which was originally a thousand meters long, had shrunk to just over two hundred meters due to the continuous loss of power.

Chu Hua, on the other hand, maintained her original physique, like a water bag about to burst, her entire body covered in cracks that shone with light.

Even if her current situation is special, she is still just an ordinary witch. Whether it is the upper limit of her body's capacity or her endurance, she cannot compare with Mio who possesses "super causality".

Her body was already nearing its limit and could no longer hold on.

"No..." Mio cried out, still trying to break free from Chu Hua's embrace.

"I'm sorry, Mio." Hatsuka hugged her tightly, refusing to let go. "We're together now."

They fell from the sky.

It crashed into the sea.

A Lost Tale: The Spirit of Youth: Chapter 263 What Does He Possess, What Does He Want, What Can He Do?

As Xiangzi followed the lingering magic of Chuhua and Lingliu, the ocean, which he had expected to be filled with storms and waves, only rippled slightly, creating a few small splashes.

She floated in the air, staring blankly at the boundless sea.

The weather was calm, as if nothing had happened.

"I......"

A tear slid down her cheek.

"...Am I too late?"

Xiangzi was talking to himself.

=========

An hour later.

Xiangzi and Miaomeng, who were buried deep under the ruins, were found by Mu and successfully escaped with the help of a group of magical girls.

After leaving the dark underground, Miaomeng pulled the branch off her head, plucked out the worm that had been gnawing at her brain stem, and crushed it into a paste on the ground.

With all the annoying little things gone, Miaomeng's body quickly returned to normal.

"Finally free!" She stretched and took a deep breath of the fresh air.

"It's good that you're alright." Xiangzi patted her shoulder and staggered out of the pit.

She looked extremely haggard, as if she hadn't slept for several days.

The drawbacks of maintaining a spiritual state for a long time finally accumulated to the point of explosion. Xiangzi felt as if a thousand needles were piercing his head, and his temples throbbed with pain.

But I can't worry about that now.

Xiangzi walked straight up to Xian Juanxin, who was radiating a dazzling, porphyrin-like light, and took her hand.

"Senior, could you... do me a favor?"

......

And so some time passed.

The moon is setting; it won't be long before dawn.

An H-53 Sea Stallion medium transport helicopter soars over the sea, hovering around the towering column of volcanic ash.

Xiangzi sat awkwardly in his chair, biting his thumbnail.

"The radar is not responding, and there is no large object underwater as you described," the pilot's voice came over the loudspeaker.

"No? Impossible! Could it be volcanic ash interfering?" Xiangzi sprang up. "Why don't you scan it again more carefully?"

"Come on, this is an aircraft used for mine countermeasures. It can find mines that are so small. If there were a monster the size you're describing, how could it not find it?" the pilot retorted with dissatisfaction.

Xiangzi's words were questioning their professional competence, which would upset anyone.

"How could that be—"

"How would I know? Maybe there isn't even a monster like that," the pilot muttered under his breath. "Although I've seen plenty of weird monsters with Miss, I've never seen one as big as the one you're talking about."

"Stop, stop, everyone, calm down."

After taking off her Michelle suit and putting on an office lady outfit, Misaki turned off the communication between the cockpit and the rear cabin, and rubbed her temples with a headache.

"Xiao Xiang, may I call you that?"

"Senior Oze..." Xiangzi's voice immediately weakened.

"Don't be so formal, just call me Misaki."

"Misaki-senpai".

"Well, fine then." Misaki sighed and sat down next to Shoko. "I was quite surprised that you actually went straight to hold Shin's hand back then. You're on Yuki's blacklist. Being on her blacklist is basically the same as being on the rally's blacklist."

"I... can't care about that anymore."

“If it were me, I probably wouldn’t have agreed,” Misaki shrugged. “After all, mobilizing a military helicopter isn’t a simple matter, plus you have some minor conflicts with the rally.”

"But you're the one who came with me to find Chuhua."

“You need to keep everyone’s spirits up there, and so do the others at HHW, so only I could come with you.” Misaki sighed. “Making everyone happy isn’t easy in practice. Some things are beyond repair, and I’m afraid she’ll be unhappy if she sees them…”

Misaki's voice gradually faded.

“There are things we can’t do,” she said.

"Senior, you can speak directly."

Xiangzi actually had a pretty good idea of ​​what Misaki wanted to say.
