A gunshot suddenly caught Wendy's attention.
Ordinary firearms certainly wouldn't have any effect on Wendy, even without using her powers, she could ignore bullets from any firearm just by relying on her Herrscher body.
However, if the bullets are infused with the power of a Herrscher, then it's hard to say.
In the sky, Wendy watched as her leg was pierced by a bullet imbued with lightning, and she roughly understood that it was time for her to leave the stage.
Wendy is still seriously injured. She was prepared to leave the field, but if Alicia and the others are only capable of this much, she doesn't mind staying on the field a little longer.
However, while Alicia was bad at the game, the other two were clearly not bad at all.
Wendy in the sky turned to look at the silver-haired, purple-eyed girl who was holding a heavy sniper rifle and staring at her angrily.
“That’s funny,” Wendy chuckled.
That shot was fired by Emilia. It almost hit Wendy's body, but Wendy missed slightly, and it only pierced her leg.
The bullet, made of the Herrscher of Thunder's power, looked no different from an ordinary bullet, but the moment it hit Wendy, she felt as if her thigh was almost disintegrated.
That bullet was essentially an attack from the Herrscher of Thunder, and a very powerful one at that.
Wendy had assumed that during her three days in New Zealand, Alicia and the others had been working hard to learn how to use the Herrscher powers.
However, Emilia's level of control over her powers is definitely not something she achieved after only three days of training following the acquisition of those powers.
Including Muirseth, those special tanks were also skillfully constructed by her using the power of the Herrscher of Reason. She did not go all out just now, but was waiting for an opportunity.
"Bang!" Emilia continued to attack with her gun, her face cold.
This time, Wendy didn't dodge the question; it was about time for her to leave anyway.
A large hole, crackling with lightning, appeared in Wendy's chest, allowing a direct view of the other side of her chest after it had been pierced.
"What a pity, I underestimated you."
Wendy looked indifferently at Emilia and Muirsey.
Alicia? Although Wendy is now seriously injured because of 'Alicia', it's not Alicia herself, but rather 'Alicia' as the Herrscher of Origin. The current Alicia is just a silly pink pig.
The gap between her and Muels and Emilia is too obvious. The latter two have only been learning to use the powers of the Herrscher of Reason and Herrscher of Thunder for three days. It is probably only Alicia who has truly only been learning for three days.
Wendy felt that if either Muirsey or Emilia had been at St. Freya Magical Girl Academy, she might not have been able to kill so many magical girls directly.
"Enough talk, just die!" Emilia didn't want to say another word to the witch. She raised her sniper rifle and aimed it at Wendy's head.
Wendy on the beach took out another ice cream, and Wendy in the sky also took out another ice cream, and then took a big bite.
"It's so delicious..."
"boom!!!"
Wendy's headless body slowly fell from the sky, but soon her body was completely disintegrated in mid-air, leaving only a rhombus-shaped gem that shone with a blue light in the sunlight as it fell into the sea.
Muirsey transferred the cyan rhombus-shaped gem into her own hand.
"Is that all?" Alicia stared blankly at the blue gem in Muerseth's hand. She still felt a sense of unreality. The wicked Fourth Witch had died just like that.
The revenge for those dead magical girls has finally been taken?
"This witch wields the power of flowing wind; she is the Wind Witch."
Muels opened his eyes and learned of the Wind Witch's powers.
"What exactly does she control with her power?"
Emilia was somewhat serious about this, because although the Wind Witch's attack methods were similar to the wind, they were clearly not, and she later demonstrated that she had no interest in the wind whatsoever.
"flow"
Muirsay said.
"...flow in any sense of the word"
"Flow in any sense?"
"right"
Emilia was still somewhat incredulous. After receiving the gem and learning about the Wind Witch's powers, she sighed.
The principles of science, the void of existence, the thunder of the foundation, and the flowing wind—none of these four powers are simple. Heaven knows why there are witches in this world who wield these powers, and there are more than just these four!
"Is the Wind Witch dead?" Alicia flew over and asked.
“Yes, she’s dead. We killed her,” Emilia nodded.
Alicia fell silent.
He's dead.
Although the Wind Witch caused the fewest human casualties among these witch incidents, less than 1, compared to the previous three incidents which resulted in millions or tens of millions of deaths, the Wind Witch can truly be described as kind as an angel.
It's quite obvious, however, that Alicia's feelings for the magical girls killed by the Wind Witch are much deeper.
They were all magical girl juniors whom Alicia had watched grow up; they were girls who called Alicia "Headmistress Sister"; and the pretty little dresses they wore were designed by Alicia herself.
Despite killing the Wind Witch, Alicia felt incredibly heavy-hearted and sorrowful.
After returning from New Zealand, Alicia went to the cemetery on the back mountain of the rebuilt St. Freya Magical Girl Academy.
Looking at the hundreds of crystal tombstones before her, Alicia could almost recall their smiling faces when they were still alive.
How should I face the families of those magical girls who died?
Chapter 404 Death Notice
"Xia, should I go?"
Emilia's voice made Alicia look up from the wooden box in her hand.
“No, I’ll go,” Alicia said, looking at the more wooden boxes beside her.
She was currently near the operations area of the Moth Chaser Lighthouse base, with many wooden boxes placed in front of her.
These wooden boxes totaled 888, and they were filled with the death notices, certificates of honor, medals, and other items of the magical girls who were killed by the Wind Witch.
The Wind Witch did not kill anyone other than these magical girls, only these 888 magical girls.
Not all girls with magical girl talent choose to become magical girls and join St. Freya Magical Girl Academy.
However, all magical girls who enroll are essentially joining a special army, with ranks, salaries, and basic benefits that are the same as or even higher than those of the top armies in various countries. Their identity documents and combat records are recognized by countries all over the world.
However, the girls who choose to become magical girls know from the very beginning that this is not a wonderful thing, but rather very dangerous.
Even so, many girls still decide to join and become magical girls to protect human civilization.
When they die in battle against the witch, personnel from various countries will be responsible for delivering their death notices, along with a series of compensation payments, honors for martyrs, and other benefits to their homes.
However, this was the biggest casualty since the founding of St. Freya Magical Girl Academy, and perhaps not the last, so Alicia decided to personally deliver these death notices to the families of those magical girls.
However, not all magical girls have family members still alive. Several magical girls have lost their family members or relatives, and the death notices of these magical girls will be placed in a special martyrs' cemetery.
For example, Mami Tomoe, an A-rank magical girl, had her family die in a car accident. She was lucky enough to survive and was later found to have magical girl talent, so she joined St. Freya Magical Girl Academy. In the end, she was killed by the Wind Witch.
“Xia, I’ve already contacted the governments of various countries, and they will make things easier for you. You can just teleport to the local government office near their home address, and they will coordinate to help you,” Muirsey said as she walked over to Alicia.
“Yes, thank you, Miu Miu,” Alicia said gratefully, glancing at Muirse.
“It’s what I should do,” Muirsey gently raised her hand to wipe away the tears from Alicia’s eyes.
In the two days since the Wind Witch's death, Alicia has been crying constantly, which makes Muirse feel very sorry for her.
A while later, Alicia received a call from the governments of other countries, whose local governments were ready.
“I should get ready to leave,” Alicia said to Muirsay, then went to the neatly arranged wooden boxes with national flags hanging next to them.
Two members of the Fire Moth crew and a magical girl will set off with Alicia to deliver all the death notices.
An ordinary car pulled up next to Alicia, and she and her entourage got in with a wooden box inside. After the car entered the teleportation zone, Muirsay activated the teleporter.
A deep blue teleportation screen lit up, and then the car disappeared from the lighthouse base.
Moscow, Russia
A teleportation light appeared in a local government parking area, where several officials who were already waiting witnessed this miraculous scene.
After the car arrived, Alicia didn't go out to talk to the local officials; she just sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside.
Before long, the car drove out of there and into the still desolate Moscow.
Several years have passed since the Witch of Reason incident. That horrific catastrophe wiped out all of Moscow's inhabitants, and the city has yet to recover. The population of this enormous city is now less than 500,000.
Alicia saw that the magnificent Palace of Truth, which the Witch of Reason had once built in Moscow, still stood in the center of Moscow, and even the hundred-meter-tall statue of the Witch of Reason was still there.
This is ironic and shameful for the Russians. The Palace of Truth, which represents the Witch of Reason, has not been demolished to this day because the devastated Russia simply does not have the money or means to demolish it. They cannot even demolish the statue of the Witch of Reason on the Palace of Truth by explosives. The entire palace and statue cannot be shaken by ordinary bombs.
Alicia sighed; she hadn't expected Russia to be like this.
The car pulled up in front of an ordinary little building, and Alicia stepped out of the car with the wooden box in her hand.
"Knock knock," Alicia gently knocked on the door.
"Coming!" an old voice called from behind the door. A moment later, an elderly Russian woman opened the door.
When she saw Alicia and the wooden box in her hand, her wrinkled face immediately understood what was going on, but the old woman did not show any sadness.
"Come in," the old woman said before entering the small building. Alicia opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
She had no choice but to take the wooden box and enter the small building with her entourage.
Upon entering the small building, Alicia discovered that the interior was simply furnished, with few electrical appliances. Only a heater was emitting heat, and a kettle next to it was steaming. Several black boxes were placed on the large table in the center, and a few portraits and certificates hung on the wall.
"Just put your things where you want," the older woman said calmly, seemingly used to it.
After Alicia put down the wooden box, she realized that all the black boxes were urns containing ashes, and all the certificates were death notices.
“They are…” Alicia couldn’t help but ask.
"My grandfather, father, husband, eldest son," the woman's voice betrayed little emotion. She then looked at the newly placed wooden box, "and now my daughter."
Then the woman added.
"My eldest son was killed by a witch. Has my daughter stood up for her brother?"
"......have"
Alicia was silent for a moment before nodding.
She didn't know how she left, and when she saw the concerned looks on Muirsey and Emilia's faces again, Alicia's tears flowed once more.
“Xia…”
Muirsay was very worried.
"I'm fine," Alicia wiped away her tears and forced herself to stand up.
"Let's continue our journey."
"......Um"
Still in Eastern Europe, but this time in Stalingrad.
Like the family in Moscow, the elderly couple that Alicia met did not show much grief, because Alicia saw that there were several urns containing ashes in the couple's home, and their sons had also died at the hands of the Witch of Reason and the Witch of the Sky.
After that, Alicia traveled to Eastern Europe several more times.
Among the magical girls, those from China and Mu Continent are the most numerous, but all the magical girls from Russia decided to join without hesitation after being tested for magical girl talent; almost none of them refused to become magical girls.
Because many Russian magical girls' families were slaughtered by the Witch of Reason and the Witch of the Sky.
However, many Russian magical girl homes are filled with a sense of deathly stillness, and even the pedestrians on the street that Alicia sees are just as lifeless.
Back at the lighthouse base, Alicia looked to Muirsay for help.
"Miao Miao, is there any way to save the severely damaged country?"
This is not a good thing, Muirsay thought to himself.
The political influence of magical girls in various countries is growing stronger, and officials from many countries have joined this special international magical girl faction, which has vaguely become an international movement to some extent.
The leaders of many human nations have become vigilant, constantly worried that the political power of magical girls will replace their power and status.
The Mu Continent is the most obvious example, with Emilia, a member of the Mu Continent's council, now being highly popularly elected by the people as the supreme leader of the Mu Continent.
Saving Russia is naturally not a problem, but it would give the magical girl faction the fact that it interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, even if it is just proposing to restore Russia's stability. Many countries around Russia are devouring the flesh and blood of a broken Russia.
“…Okay.” Seeing Alicia’s pleading gaze, Muirse nodded.
