Chapter 208 Abyss Network
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
Violet took the water bottle handed to her by the magician Kikyo, took a few sips, and washed her face.
She originally planned to cast a water balloon spell on herself.
However, since Kikyo the Magician had offered her a bottle of Yibao (a type of milk tea), she felt embarrassed to refuse.
Why not take advantage of Kikyo the Magician's bargain?
After resting for a few minutes,
Violet re-entered the assessment venue, and the next person to be assessed was Han Xue. She had a rather deep impression of this magical girl junior.
Which teacher doesn't like a top student?
"Do you need to familiarize yourself with your own magical artifact again?" Violet asked softly.
Although each magical artifact can be said to be a reflection of the magical girl's inner self, and using a magical artifact is as familiar as waving one's own arm, the time it takes to summon a magical artifact is indeed rather short.
She feared that Han Xue would not be able to fully utilize the power of her magical artifact.
"No need, Senior Violet."
Han Xue shook her head, and azure magic surged forth, forming an exquisite, transparent ice spear in her hand. The spearhead was transparent and shimmering, radiating a chilling aura.
"it is good."
Violet nodded, and a fiery red aura appeared, with candle tears materializing in her hand.
Han Xue made her move, but unlike Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu, she didn't immediately clash head-on with Violet using magical artifacts. Instead, she began summoning various dazzling magical attacks. A dazzling light emanated from the tip of her Frost Spear, instantly condensing into several blazing fireballs. The fireballs streaked through the air, carrying an aura of destruction, hurtling straight towards Violet.
Seeing this, Violet waved her candle tears, and a pale purple barrier formed in front of her.
The fireball struck the magic barrier, producing a deafening explosion, yet it remained remarkably stable, no longer teetering on the brink of collapse as before.
The younger sister's last move truly embarrassed her in front of all the younger magical girls.
Now she,
We dare not underestimate these magical girl juniors.
After she removed the protective shield, the entire assessment site underwent a dramatic transformation.
Her location was no longer the open assessment field, but a desolate, icy region where the temperature suddenly dropped.
【Ice Domain】
It is clear,
Han Xue did not disappoint her, and immediately opened up the domain.
In the desolate, icy world, Han Xue's figure had disappeared. In fact, everyone here except her had vanished.
"wrong."
"The temperature is wrong."
Violet walked on the snow, originally planning to summon Candle Tears to make a fire, waiting for the opponent to summon a Frost Giant for a tense and exciting boss battle.
"Hallucination!"
Seeing this, Violet reacted quickly. She raised the candle wax in her hand and waved it behind her.
Click!
The icy world collapsed in an instant, but she still stood in the assessment field.
However, Han Xue had already raised the Frost Spear in her hand, tearing through space and heading straight for Violet's back.
The Frost Spear carried a chilling aura, as if it wanted to freeze the violet in place.
Even if Violet had woken up a second or two later,
The Frost Spear had already pierced her, but she had regained her senses by then. She dodged Han Xue's attack with a swift movement and simultaneously swung her Tang Hengdao at Han Xue's arm.
The blade sliced through Han Xue's frost shield, shattering it instantly, and her body was immediately sent flying by a powerful force.
Watching Han Xue fall off the court,
Violet walked up to her and praised, "You're doing great, keep it up!"
"Um."
Han Xue nodded and stood aside.
She still had some doubts on her face. She was certain that Senior Violet had been affected by an illusion attack, so why was she able to wake up so quickly?
"Very good. The Kikyo Judgment Team's preliminary assessment for today is basically complete. Let me talk about the strengths and weaknesses of each member. Li Xuanyu's elemental manipulation is incredibly powerful, but your control over the elements is not perfect. In intense battles, you might neglect the balance between elements in order to overemphasize the intensity of your attacks, resulting in unstable attacks and even the risk of backlash. Moreover, the casting of elemental magic usually requires a long preparation time, which is a significant disadvantage in the ever-changing battlefield."
"Bai Youqing, your progress has surprised me greatly. I hope you can keep up the good work! But at the same time, your weaknesses are also obvious. Your attacks often rely too much on a single straight-line impact, lacking sufficient variation and deception. If your opponent can predict and dodge in time, it may disrupt your attack rhythm and cause a decrease in attack efficiency."
"Han Xue, you're very clever. You used the magic artifact you just summoned to deceive the Violet Mage, making her believe you had mastered its use and thus fall victim to your advanced illusion attack, trapping her in an illusionary world. If Violet's mental resistance had been weaker, you might have succeeded. Furthermore, your defenses are relatively weak..."
If the enemy gets close, you might be at a disadvantage. But you've done a great job to achieve this; keep it up! I'm looking forward to your performance in the arbitration exchange match.
"Mistake... Kikyo-senpai, what about me? What about my reputation?" Xia Qing listened for a long time but didn't see Kikyo mention her name.
"You want to hear that Xia Qing is cautious and steady, which is a good thing. Although her attack power isn't great, she knows how to adapt. But she still needs more training to better summon her magic-equipped artifacts."
"Actually, this assessment isn't entirely wrong..."
Xia Qing cautiously observed the expressions on the faces of the Kikyo and Violet Mages, and swallowed hard.
"Wait a minute, after the Kikyo Judgment Squad disbands, Xia Qing, come with me." Kikyo's voice was as gentle and pleasant as the warm sunshine of spring.
"No, I don't want to stay after school!"
However, Xia Qing could sense the seriousness in Kikyo's words.
Her intuition told her,
I probably won't be able to eat my father's lovingly made fried rice tonight.
Violet glanced at Xia Qing. Although she didn't know why Xia Qing was hiding the reason that she had already summoned the magic device, for the time being, the Kikyo Judgment Squad had embarked on the right path under her wise guidance.
Of course, Kikyo, the magician, also played a small role in it.
"Want to go for a walk together?"
Violet glanced at the Kikyo mage beside her and nodded: "Okay."
Considering that Kikyo had previously treated her to a 2-yuan bottle of Yibao tea, Violet generously treated her to a 4-yuan cup of Bingcheng Mixue lemon tea.
This is what it means to have a broad perspective.
As evening approached, a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere permeated the school campus.
The setting sun cast its golden rays onto the glass windows of the teaching building, adding a warm hue to the campus. Violet and Bellflower, the two sorcerers, didn't leave the school; instead, they cast invisibility spells on themselves and strolled and chatted on the school's playground.
Violet walked on the playground, hesitating several times as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself. She really wanted to ask Kikyo the magician when she taught her younger sister advanced holy light attribute sword magic.
However, considering that,
Her outward identity is merely the vice-captain of the Kikyo Judgment Squad, and she is not actually very familiar with the magical girl Green.
I didn't want to ask too many questions.
Kikyo, the magician, sipped her chilled lemon tea, quietly watching the violet beside her, which looked like it had been bitten by lice, and found it somewhat amusing.
"Miss Violet, are you curious about when I taught Green Ivy magic skills?"
"Um."
Violet nodded, her pale purple eyes fixed on Kikyo, the magician, awaiting her reply.
"That was the day the Kikyo Judgment Team finished their team building activity."
Kikyo, the magician, gently lifted the lemon tea, took a small sip, and the sweet and sour taste immediately filled her mouth.
"Huh? So fast."
Although Violet knew that her younger sister was very talented, she never expected that her younger sister's learning talent was so extraordinary.
"Actually, I'm more surprised by the magical power contained in her magic core than by her learning ability. During the assessment, Green Ivy used three high-level holy light attribute spells in a row, which is not too difficult for a magical girl of the [Scattered Leaf] level. However, based on my observation of her magical power intensity, it should only have reached the [Budding] level."
Has there ever been such a precedent?
Upon hearing Kikyo's warning, Violet felt a sense of unease.
Things must be reversed at their extremes,
Sometimes being too talented isn't necessarily a good thing.
"have."
Kikyo, the magician, paused for a moment to recall before slowly nodding.
"Who?" Violet asked.
Kikyo, the magician, fell silent, a hint of amusement and pleasure in the slight upturn of her lips.
Violet paused for a moment,
I quickly realized that being able to do this was exactly what I used to be like.
but,
I'm different!
Back then, in order to make money, I spent all my time among the abyssal beasts, and with Ayrus's help, how could the things I learned in the face of life and death be the same?
However, this topic could not be discussed any further.
Today's assessment is over.
A reassessment of the Kikyo Judgment Squad's strength:
Xia Qing: "Red Rose - Unknown, but based on preliminary guesses, her strength should be similar to Han Xue's."
Han Xue: "Snow Plum - Scattered Leaves"
Bai Youqing: "Green Ivy - Sprout"
Li Xuanyu: "Green Orange - Sprout"
Violet: "[Bud Break] (Magic Equipment: Candle Tears) / [Blooming Flower] (Curse Equipment: Butterfly Scythe)"
Kikyo the Magician: "Blooming Flower"
Overall, the Kikyo Judgment Team has the strength of a B-rank Judgment Team on the surface, but it is still a step behind the Narcissus Judgment Team, whose four members, [San Ye], are at the A-rank Judgment Team level.
After all, the assessment of the adjudication team's level mainly considers overall strength.
Rather than individual combat strength.
As night fell, the campus lights gradually came on, adding a touch of warmth to the tranquil night.
The two walked around the playground about three times before Violet said goodbye to Kikyo.
While the other person had time to wander around the playground, she didn't have time to waste with them; she needed to supervise the students' evening self-study sessions at the teachers' office.
"Kikyo, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. By the way, I've been quite busy for the past week or two, so please try not to contact me unless it's urgent," Violet said coldly as she turned her head.
"Okay, sure."
Kikyo, the magician, nodded.
The fact that the other party agreed without even asking for a reason made Violet feel a little uncomfortable.
However, since the other party was so easy to talk to, Violet naturally had no objections.
Watching Violet's departing figure,
Kikyo, the magician, threw the lemon tea cup into the trash can, closed her eyes, and enjoyed this moment of peace.
The next two weeks
Teacher Xiaobai probably doesn't have time to spend with her.
night,
When Bai Yuze returned home from school, the lights in the living room were already on.
However, he couldn't smell the aroma of food, so it seemed his younger sister had eaten a good meal at school today.
After all, he beat up his own brother today.
It's not about having a big appetite.
Good evening, Xiaoqing.
Bai Yuzhe opened the door and saw Bai Youqing sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Good evening, brother.
Bai Youqing spoke, but her eyes didn't leave the TV. She was still watching magical girls, only this time it was a live-action version.
Bai Yuze glanced at it when he came in, and to be honest, the special effects were really cool.
It's obvious that money was spent.
This is far superior to any Qi-transforming horse he saw in his previous life.
His lips twitched slightly when he saw the sponsorship announcement from Baiyun Group at the end of the TV program.
Last time, someone inexplicably sent him a black card for a coffee shop.
He later went to look it up.
One of the investors in this coffee shop is Baiyun Group, and I also checked a few clothing stores that Iris mentioned last time.
Contrary to what Iris the Demoness claimed, she didn't own shares in those clothing stores.
However, she had rented out all the storefronts in that area.
but,
In any case, it's better for Demon Princess Iris to play investment games than to release Abyss Beasts everywhere in Yeqiu City.
The TV series has ended.
Bai Yuze turned and went into the kitchen, preparing to make himself a late-night snack.
It's all Kikyo's fault today.
If the other person hadn't had a seizure and dragged him to the playground for a walk, where he only drank a cup of lemon tea, he wouldn't have been unable to even get a meal.
"Xiaoqing, do you want noodles again tonight?"
"No need, I'm full."
Bai Youqing shook her head and skipped into the bathroom. Bai Yuze was right; she was indeed in a good mood today. (Late at night...)
The girl lay in bed, her breathing gradually calming down as she drifted off to sleep.
But when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in what seemed like a void. It was a vast, empty place with no designated sky or land, floating in a pale blue starry sky.
She didn't know which way to go, and wandered around aimlessly.
Until she suddenly saw a disgusting place, where various abyssal plants grew. They were tall and lush, their branches and leaves intertwined, blocking out the starry sky and making her feel a strange sense of oppression.
From a distance,
They were clusters of enormous, pink, fleshy flower buds that looked extremely disgusting and terrifying, and they were emitting purple mist.
Pink, fleshy flower buds also covered the area around it.
"Where is this?"
This was originally just a whisper in her mind, but it came to her the moment the thought first occurred to her.
This triggered a chain reaction across the entire starry sky.
"Warning, intruder detected!" (Abyss language)
"Warning, intruder detected!" (Abyss language)
"Warning, intruder detected!" (Abyss language)
Suddenly, the once silent starry sky awoke, and various giant pink flower buds began to frantically retract their buds. Thick purple mist filled the surroundings, as if even the air itself had solidified.
Pairs of scarlet eyes gleamed in the purple mist, gazing at the eerie light.
Bai Youqing couldn't make out what kind of monsters they were, but their eyes revealed bloodlust and rage, filling her with intense fear. She tried to run away, but found herself seemingly locked in place by something, unable to move at all.
Just then, a soft little hand suddenly reached out from the side and tightly grasped Bai Youqing's wrist.
She turned around in alarm and saw the face of a pink-haired little girl appear in her line of sight, her pink eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
The pink-haired loli spoke softly, her childish voice carrying a strange sense of comfort.
Bai Youqing felt her heartbeat slowly return to normal. She tightly grasped the pink-haired loli's small hand, as if she had found a lifeline. She followed closely behind the pink-haired loli, escaping that terrifying starry sky.
"Who are you?"
Bai Youqing looked at the pink-haired loli in front of her and asked with some confusion,
The pink-haired loli didn't answer her, but instead looked Bai Youqing up and down.
It was only at this moment that Bai Youqing noticed that the dress she was wearing was the same backless evening gown she had worn last time, with long black silk gloves on her slender arms.
Instead of the pale white slip dress worn at night.
After a long pause, the pink-haired girl slowly spoke, "Did you find a string of ornaments and wear them?"
"Hmm, how did you know?"
"Because I have them too," the pink-haired loli said mysteriously, pointing to the black cat-ear headphones on her head.
"Senior, I think I have ruby earrings. Do you know what these are? And where am I?"
Bai Youqing was like a curious child at this moment, and it seemed that all the questions in her heart could finally be answered completely.
The other person's height was nothing to her; Violet was still about the size of a child, but that didn't stop them from respectfully addressing the other person as a senior.
Looking at Bai Youqing, who seemed half-believing and half-doubting, Xi Wu's pink eyes flickered, revealing a cute and innocent smile:
"The things we find are called Relics. They came to Earth with the magical girls, and each Relic has a special power. As for this place, you can think of it as a mysterious space where Relic hosts gather. People who find Relics on Earth can enter here to communicate, learn from each other, and trade with each other."
"What were those monsters we saw?"
"They are the guardians here, and we must stay far away from them if we see them. But don't worry,"
I'm already thinking of ways to solve it, and I believe I'll be able to resolve them soon.
"Wow, you're amazing!"
"Haha, don't worry, I'll protect you here from now on."
Hearing Bai Youqing's praise, Demon Princess Xiwu was also in a very good mood, because she seemed to have found a way to sneak into Sister Huandie's house.
The two then introduced themselves by their names.
Yugiri calls herself Yugiri, so Shiro calls Yugiri "Little Yugiri Sister," and Yugiri calls Shiro calls Shiro "Little Yugiri Sister."
"Sister Xiaowu, how do I get in and out?"
"It's very simple. If you want to come in, just focus your magic on the location of the artifact. If you want to leave, just touch the location of your artifact. By the way, you absolutely mustn't tell your other companions about this outside."
Otherwise, it would be very easy to get something from someone else.
"Why?"
Do you consider relics to be treasures?
"I guess so."
"That's it. If other people find out, won't they try to steal it from you? Haven't you seen those stories in cultivation novels about killing and robbing for treasure?" Demoness Xiwu's face was very serious at this moment, as if she were serious about it.
"Oh, oh." Bai Youqing was startled when she heard Xiwu's serious face. Senior Violet and the others shouldn't be like that, right?
But Bai Youqing nodded anyway: "Thank you for reminding me, Sister Xiaowu. I understand."
When Bai Youqing woke up from reality, she found herself covered in a cold sweat, and the sheets were soaked with sweat.
"A relic?"
She murmured, stroking the ruby earring on her earlobe.
