Chapter 607 The Guiding Star
The sky shattered and broke apart.
The magical girls broke free from the constraints of their mental world, escaping from the chaotic and mixed illusions of their dreams.
With magic and spells back under control, the girls' graceful figures forge ahead, casting various lights upon Garuda.
Sensing the pain from behind, the shadows that had been dispelled by the light surged back from Garuda's burning wings, once again enveloping everything around it, but they could not stop the brilliance of the twinkling stars.
"I've finally caught you, Garuda!" Wheat gritted his teeth, spitting out angry words from between his teeth.
The train-shaped magic cannon took shape again, unleashing a barrage of firepower that almost perfectly recreated the scene of tearing through Garuda's shadow defenses when the battle first began.
Having lost the power granted by the mental world, Garuda had to rely on his own magic to defend himself, while attempting to recover from the damage he had suffered when he forcibly broke through the mental world with Sasha behind the defensive line formed by the Shadow Familiars.
Garuda needs time. But time is no longer on its side—the heavy firepower squad is in position, and tearing through the defenses is exactly what they excel at:
The Wheat Squad may engage in indiscriminate destruction during battles, and may cause irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, but when facing siege battles and battles against behemoths, their firepower is always the first sharp blade to tear through the lines!
Chengdu was transformed into a burning battlefield.
The two young girls who were originally charging ahead did not rush to participate in the battle to tear apart the defenses. Almost immediately after leaving the mental world, they saw the two small figures lying on the ground and enveloped by the pillar of light, and immediately accelerated to fly away.
"Dandelion! Sister Dandelion!"
Hyacinth was the first to rush to the ground, frantically helping up the unconscious golden fox girl who had fallen to the ground, and also helping up the equally unconscious Heart Moon Fox who had also fallen to the ground.
With a formidable enemy at hand, the usual grudges seemed less important at this moment, especially since Xin Yuehu... well, how should I put it, Fengxinzi didn't want to see her suffer such serious injuries.
Their hands and bodies were covered in bloody wounds. They had endured so much pain from Garuda's shadow attacks for so long, it was a shocking sight, and one didn't even know where to begin treating them.
Hellcat arrived just in time, and together with Hyacinth, they each supported one of the golden foxes. Looking at the battered golden fox in their arms, their worry instantly turned into anger.
Hyacinth stood there, staring at the unconscious dandelion in her arms, her mouth slightly open, unsure of what to say.
Sister Tianqing and Xinyuehu risked serious injury to protect Sasha. Fortunately, Sasha lived up to expectations and was blessed by the stars at the last moment, transforming into a magical girl. The magical impact caused by the transformation gave Red Rose the guidance to break through the mental world and return to the real world, which allowed her to rush back to the real world to support them.
But we were still a step too late.
"...They are seriously injured and need immediate treatment."
Hellcat took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, using the only healing magic she could remember to treat the wound. However, her skills were not as advanced as those of a professional magical girl or doctor, and she could only provide the most basic wound protection, not achieve a complete cure.
Nightingale rushed over in a panic, crying and yelling, "Sister Dandelion! Fox! You two must hold on!" The two then watched as the golden-haired fox was escorted to safety by her, where Red Rose and Crimson Snow took over her protection.
The Hellcat's hands trembled violently, and its tail grew much thicker, stretching straight behind it.
Hyacinth stared blankly in the direction the nightingale had gone, her eyes vacant. No one knew what she was thinking.
Calm down... The most important thing to do right now is to stay calm... Nan Jiayu repeatedly told herself.
Fox knew how important Sasha was in this battle, which is why she did everything she could to hold off Garuda for so long, until Sasha's first transformation and until Red Rose broke through the Heart World to provide support.
We must remain calm and not let anger overwhelm our will. We must analyze the situation and determine the most important thing to do right now, even without clearing skies...
Calm down, calm down, I must calm down...
"...Hellcat," the hyacinth murmured softly.
Nan Jiayu glanced at the hyacinth beside her.
The sky-blue female knight trembled violently, as if enduring immense pain, and whispered:
"Sister Dandelion, she is my favorite and most respected family member."
"I swore to protect her, but I... but I could only watch helplessly as she suffered such severe injuries..."
"I can't beat you in a fight, and my magic is terrible. I always thought that as long as I was at the forefront, I could win every battle... but I just can't protect her..."
Hyacinth's body trembled more violently, two lines of tears streamed down her face, and her gums chattered violently as she tried to suppress the anger that was about to burst forth from her heart.
Hellcat didn't rush to answer. Instead, it silently turned around and looked at Garuda, the giant beast that was being attacked by the magical girls.
The defensive line has been breached by artillery fire, and the magical girls are actively widening the gap to prevent Garuda from filling the hard-won opening. They need a powerful striker, a resilient warrior capable of delivering a fatal blow to the defensive breach.
Nan Jiayu felt calmer than ever before.
But beneath this calm exterior, she knew very well that, like the hyacinth, she harbored boundless rage within.
"Oh, I see. You must really like dandelions. She's probably a very gentle person," Hellcat said.
Then, the deep blue catgirl magical girl looked up and shouted at the winged girl who was shining brightly in the sky:
"Hey—Sasha, can you hear me?"
"Hmm? I can hear you!" Sasha immediately lowered her head in response.
Hellcat didn't say much, but turned its gaze to Garuda and continued speaking to Sasha:
"I can sense your current power. Do you have a way to get me and Hyacinth to that guy?"
"Deliver it to your doorstep? But you are now..." Sasha hesitated, unsure whether to answer.
After becoming a magical girl, Sasha felt that her understanding and perception of magic had reached a new level. She could tell the level of another person's magic reserves just by looking at them.
After two consecutive battles, Hellcat and Hyacinth's mana reserves were running low, especially the latter. Her reckless mana output meant that her recovery couldn't keep up with her consumption. If they forced their way in again...
"I'm fine, I'll leave it to you, Sasha," Hyacinth said, turning around and looking at Garuda with Hellcat.
She no longer suppressed her anger, nor did she continue to use the sword and shield form with its superior overall performance—the greatsword reappeared in her hand, and she acquired the transformation weapon that Magical Girl Hyacinth had held when she first transformed, replacing all defense with extreme offense.
Seeing this, Sasha said nothing more. She glanced at Xinyuehu and Dandelion, who were receiving emergency treatment behind Red Rose, pursed her lips, and nodded vigorously.
"Alright, but I only have this one chance to send you there. You might get trapped inside Garuda's defenses, so you must..."
"Don't worry," Hellcat replied calmly, "we'll definitely give it a good beating."
……
A pair of jet-black, burning wings soared into the sky.
The winged girl unleashed her magic and flew at full speed. Her magic propelled the two behind her to an unprecedented speed, breaking through the barrier of the shadow veil and arriving at the battlefield of artillery fire and direct combat in the blink of an eye. Ignoring the shadow servants around her who tried to stop her, she went straight for Garuda's main body!
"Sasha? Hyacinth?"
Iris was loading the twin magic cannon when she saw a burning black meteor fly past her and cried out in alarm.
Following the direction in which the three were charging, Iris seemed to understand something. She decisively stopped her current rounds of fire support and pointed all the magic cannons at the direction of their charge.
All the cannons fired simultaneously, annihilating every shadow that dared to approach the three!
The surging magic cannon beam swept everything away, forcibly widening the originally narrow gap in the defensive line. Behind the defensive line were those cold and angry molten gold eyes, glaring at the traitor who dared to raise the banner of rebellion against it.
The salvo from the twin magic cannons pierced the last layer of defense. Iris watched the burning meteor plummet forward, shouting loudly at their retreating figures:
"Hyacinth! Hellcat! Beat it up for me!!"
"Sasha! Charge at it!!"
The voice of the iris was left behind, and Sasha no longer felt any fear—she had become a magical girl! Her mission was to bring about a grand destruction for Garuda!
Dark wings plunged deep into the defensive line, leading two enraged assault troops to the weakest point in Garuda's defenses... like the angel of death in the night, tolling a death knell that shakes the heavens.
That's all for now! The rest is up to you!
The connection to the flight magic was severed, and Sasha leaned back in mid-air, throwing the two forward, managing to retreat in time before the defensive line closed in.
In the darkness, only Garuda's eyes shone brightly—along with two vengeful shadows charging at full speed!
Magical Girl Hellcat☆Shadow of the Stars
【BLACK☆HOLE！】
The Black Hole Cat Fist struck Garuda's chest first.
The Shadow Line collapsed and scattered in an instant—this furious punch, delivered at full speed and with all its might, shattered Garuda's already fragile defenses in the mortal realm, and the Shadow Familiars almost instantly turned into magical ashes and vanished completely!
Garuda felt immense pain.
Without the power granted by the Dream Imagery, he was forced to take the Black Hole Cat Fist head-on with his materialized body, and was almost punched through from the front, barely managing to hold on.
But the azure figure that suddenly appeared from behind Hellcat hadn't even launched her attack yet.
...Hyacinth grasped the guardian star in its hand.
She knew that her current power was far from enough to completely defeat Garuda.
O stars, if you can, then answer my call!
Give me even stronger, more powerful power to completely annihilate Garuda!
"Respond to me, stars." The girl held up her shining guardian star.
"—Snap!"
The golden cross shattered instantly.
It did not scatter and depart, but instead transformed into fuel for that boundless rage, becoming the most dazzling and supreme star in this world—
If black holes are the most profound and terrifying existences in the world, from which even light cannot escape, then the hyacinth at this moment is like a guest star in the high sky that burns out everything just for that fleeting moment of brilliance!
"Drink it all!!!!"
The girl gripped the greatsword in her hand.
The sword expanded and lengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting a flash of light that was trillions of times brighter than the sun!
【Hyacinth☆Shadow of Stars...?】
【——No】
At this moment, she was the most dazzling guiding star in the world.
【Hyacinth☆Shining Star】
【SUPER☆NOVA！】
The greatsword was swung in a wide arc, and a flash of light appeared, like a supernova that disappears in an instant but can illuminate the entire universe—scorching away the darkness!
