At that moment, a pink light flew rapidly from the distant sky and stopped on the ruins of St. Freya Magical Girl Academy.
Alicia stared blankly at the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, as well as a mound of skulls made up of the beautiful heads of magical girls.
"888"
Wendy severed the head of the A-rank magical girl in her hand, who seemed to be named Mami Tomoe? However, Wendy didn't care about that. She threw the corpse directly into the mountain of flesh and placed the head at the very top of the mound of 888 magical girls' beautiful heads.
Finally, Wendy looked at Alicia, whose eyes were slowly streaming blood tears and whose expression was indifferent.
Should I say this?
"Hi! How are you feeling?"
Wendy chuckled softly.
The only response she received was Alicia's ferocious pink arrows tinged with blood red.
"Are you angry?" Wendy looked at Alicia with a smile. Without even moving her hand, a blue arrow suddenly appeared beside her and flew out to collide with Alicia's pink arrow.
Alicia went berserk, transforming almost all of her magic into countless pink arrows and unleashing them at Wendy, but the blue arrows also flew out from around Wendy and crashed into her.
The collision between the pink and cyan arrows was silent, without any sound of energy clashing.
With nothing else to do, Wendy pulled the refrigerator she had specially left out into the air. When she opened it, it was full of ice cream. Wendy took out an ice cream and happily ate it.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Alicia tried to gather magic power again, but by this time all of her original enormous magic power had been completely exhausted, leaving nothing.
"Are you done fighting?" Wendy had just finished the last ice cream in the refrigerator. She tilted her head cutely and looked curiously at Alicia, who was swaying and had run out of magic.
With a thud, Alicia fell awkwardly from the sky into the river of blood. Crimson blood stained Alicia's body; it was the blood of those dead magical girls.
Despair and pain filled Alicia's heart. She tried to struggle to her feet, but she was too weak to move and fell into the river of blood again.
However, out of the corner of her eye, Alicia saw the surviving magical girls stubbornly walking over and attacking Wendy.
"No! No!" Alicia cried out in despair.
But she has no magic, no power, so how could the 4th witch be so strong?
“I…can’t do anything…” Alicia was filled with regret.
"It's not over yet?"
A voice suddenly appeared in Alicia's mind.
"Pink Fairy Sister!"
Alicia was overjoyed. The pink fairy sister had been teaching her all along, but the pink fairy sister needed time to recover her power, and she couldn't contact her many times.
"Oh dear, little Ellie's face is all stained with tears!"
"Sister! What should I do?! They're all dead!"
Alicia wept, the despair, pain, and regret gnawing at her heart. The witch had always been very powerful, but Alicia hadn't suffered a serious blow when she fought the witch before, which inevitably made Alicia relax her guard.
Alicia even believed in her heart that witches had very powerful powers, but in reality they were nothing special.
However, the Fourth Witch easily slaughtered the magical girls and easily defeated Alicia. No, it wasn't a defeat at all, but a complete disregard. The Fourth Witch never actually laid a hand on Alicia; she defeated Alicia through a purely automatic counterattack.
"Don't worry?"
"Now, leave everything to me, shall we?"
The pink crystal flower hair accessory on Alicia's head shone with a dazzling pink glow.
Wendy ignored the attacks from the surviving magical girls and fixed her gaze on Alicia lying in the river of blood.
"Sister?" Alicia suddenly felt a sense of apprehension.
The pink fairy sister asked her for control of her body, and Alicia naturally wouldn't refuse, but what would happen afterward? What would her sister do if she agreed?
However, when Alicia looked at the horrific scene around her, she had no choice but to agree.
“…” Alicia hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Cute little Ellie, look carefully!"
The pink fairy's voice interrupted Alicia's question before she could even speak.
"Is this... my last transformation?"
Alicia's eyes widened, but before she could say anything, she found herself losing control of her body. Then, Alicia discovered that she could still see everything outside.
A dazzling pink glow suddenly burst forth at this moment, more radiant, more magnificent, and warmer than the sun in the sky.
Alicia, who had fallen into the river of blood, slowly rose to her feet, her entire body enveloped in pink light. The blood of the magical girls transformed into streams of light that flowed into the pink dress that had appeared on Alicia's body.
A moment later, there was no more blood around, and their dead bodies were now completely intact except for their heads.
Alicia, the pink fairy, slowly opened her pink eyes.
"Now, is it a new round?"
With a wave of her scepter, the pink fairy's corpses and heads vanished from the surroundings. The surviving magical girls found themselves far away, but as they looked at the restored corpses of the magical girls in the crystal coffins around them, pain and sorrow once again filled their hearts.
At this moment, they only hoped that the now stronger Principal Alicia could defeat that hateful Fourth Witch and avenge the magical girls who had been slaughtered.
“That’s more interesting,” Wendy laughed, having remained unmoved by the pink fairy’s actions the whole time.
"Enough with the nonsense, take this sword!!!"
Wendy had no time for joking around anymore. This was not Alicia, whom she could easily deal with, but the true Herrscher of Origin.
A cyan longsword slashed toward the pink fairy's neck in an instant, but was caught in mid-air by the pink fairy's two fingers.
"Your swordsmanship is not good enough?"
"Humph!"
Wendy snorted and tried to draw her cyan longsword, but the cyan longsword, which was filled with imaginary energy enough to destroy a star, seemed to be imprisoned and could not be moved no matter how hard Wendy pulled.
Wendy simply gave up and picked up another cyan longsword to slash at the pink fairy.
The cyan light blade swept across again and again, carving terrifying sword marks several kilometers long and hundreds of meters deep on the ruins of the academy.
If Earth hadn't been enhanced by imaginary energy, it would have been blasted into cosmic dust by the first light blade long ago. However, after Earth was enhanced by imaginary energy, Wendy's light blade could only cause this much power.
"Oops, I can't hit it?"
The pink fairy effortlessly dodged the cyan light blades, and even had the leisure to tidy her long pink hair.
Wendy soon discovered that the pink fairy had been hiding and had somehow gotten close to her.
"How about you take one of my swords too?" The pink fairy suddenly appeared in front of Wendy, startling her. Then, what followed was a massive and brutal staff strike.
After taking a hard blow to the head, a dazed Wendy quickly dodged, turning into a blue light to escape. However, the pink light that the pink fairy had transformed into kept chasing after Wendy's head and continuing to smash it.
At the last moment before being hit again, Wendy reacted and picked up her longsword to take the hit, but she was still knocked unconscious.
"You call this a sword?" Wendy couldn't help but shout at the super-sized, thick, long, and powerful staff in the pink fairy's hand.
“Everything can be a sword, so why isn’t mine a sword?” The pink fairy smiled, holding a large scepter behind her back.
The battle between the pink fairy and Wendy drew countless blue and pink trails in the sky.
Wendy felt increasingly frustrated as the fight progressed. She could easily overwhelm Alicia because Wendy's control over power and imaginary energy far surpassed Alicia's. However, against the pink fairy, it was the other way around; Wendy was being overwhelmed and, incidentally, the pink fairy taught her some techniques for using power during the battle.
It made Wendy look very embarrassed.
However, Alicia couldn't see this; she only saw Wendy being thoroughly beaten up by the pink fairy sister.
Suddenly, Alicia noticed that there seemed to be pink cages all around her.
When was this set up? Alicia was incredulous that the pink fairy sister had quietly set up a cage to prevent the fourth witch from escaping.
"Brilliant light shines upon the earth!"
A dreamlike pink glow burst forth from the scepter, activating the cage and dispelling the death spots that shrouded the Earth's sky.
Wendy was a little disappointed, but she was already very satisfied, as any progress she made at this stage was tremendous.
"Well then, goodbye."
Wendy chuckled, then immediately tore open a gap in the not-yet-fully-closed cage and swiftly turned like the wind; she had to run fast now.
"Sister! We can't let her get away!" Alicia cried out anxiously.
"Hmm?" The pink fairy was quite surprised and happy, but, trying to run away?
She reached out and pulled, and a huge pink crystal crossbow bolt appeared in front of her.
The pink crystal crossbow bolt streaked across the sky like a meteor, heading straight for Wendy. If it hit, Wendy would be forced to leave the field on the spot.
But at that moment, Wendy suddenly turned around and launched a full-scale counterattack with her sword. Although she was still pierced through the abdomen, Wendy's Herrscher core was not seriously damaged. She grabbed the pink crystal crossbow bolt, controlled it, and used the bolt to escape.
"Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you, magical girl! This is exactly my escape route!" Wendy's arrogant laughter came from the horizon and finally disappeared in front of Alicia.
"Don't even think about escaping!!!" Alicia gritted her teeth and said, then her expression changed drastically. How did she regain control of her body?
"Wait, sister? Sister?! Sister!!"
Chapter 401 The 4th Great Collapse (3) No matter what
"Little Ellie, the future depends on you all?"
"Take good care of yourself. As long as you believe in yourself, you can overcome any difficulty. Keep going!"
"goodbye?"
After reading the last message left by the pink fairy sister, Alicia felt pain and regret once again.
My sister has left.
And she could do nothing but watch helplessly as it all happened.
"..." Alicia looked up at the sky, her azure eyes completely devoid of life.
But then, Alicia suddenly noticed that the pink crystal flower hair accessory on her forehead was giving her a gentle feeling.
"...Sister?! Sister, you must still be here, right? Don't leave me!"
Alicia hurriedly and carefully removed her hair ornament, overwhelmed with grief, but she heard no response from her sister, only the gentle feeling emanating from the crystal flower.
"My sister must still be alive!" Alicia held the hair ornament to her chest, her eyes regaining their color. Her sister couldn't have died so easily! She must still be alive, she must have a way to regain consciousness!
At that moment, Alicia received the communication again.
"Headmistress, how are you? How's the battle going? We're coming to help you right away!" the surviving magical girls exclaimed.
This made Alicia fall silent for a moment.
"...I'm sorry, the Fourth Witch isn't dead yet; she just escaped with serious injuries."
"That's wonderful! As expected of the principal!"
Although the surviving magical girls were somewhat disappointed that they failed to kill the fourth witch, they did manage to seriously injure her.
The magical girls will avenge their fallen comrades sooner or later!
However, their happiness only made Alicia feel more guilty and remorseful.
Alicia recalled what she had been doing in the time following the three previous killings of the witch. She had done almost nothing.
The powers of the three Witch Gems are all extremely strong, but Alicia has almost never learned how to use them, leaving them unused at the Lighthouse Base.
Furthermore, she has gradually stopped training and learning her own magic. Although Alicia has obtained a lot of magic, she has never been able to control it in a more refined way, and can only use her strength to throw bricks.
Alicia thought of the Witch of Reason Gem. If the academy had this gem, it could at least quickly concentrate the magical girls' magic power to directly create the Iron Curtain device and then put it on the academy.
If one can skillfully use the Void Witch's Gem, whether in the academy or in one's own possession, one can attempt to perform spatial teleportation, allowing the magical girls in the academy to escape, or enabling oneself to return more quickly.
The Thunder Witch Gem... Alicia remembered that Muels said the Thunder Witch Gem's power was enough to decompose and reconstruct all matter. Witches themselves are also material beings, so perhaps they could be decomposed.
However, none of these three witch gems were valued by Alicia, and it was she who suggested placing them at the Lighthouse Base.
If it weren't for her choice, the academy wouldn't have suffered such a devastating blow, and most of the magical girls wouldn't have been so cruelly killed.
In the communication, Alicia painfully blamed herself.
"......sorry"
"Oh? Headmistress?"
Before the surviving magical girls could react, they heard Alicia's heart-wrenching cries.
However, Alicia had already cried all her tears; she couldn't shed another single tear.
