Chapter 298 Family Event III: Witch Night (XII)

The crimson sky.

The roar of the engine.

Birds flying under the blood-red sky.

At the top of the car, Xiziyue slowly opened her eyes and looked calmly at the puppet witch.

She raised her hand, took out a magic card from the flying magic book, and held it at her fingertips. The next moment, as the card shattered, twelve emerald beasts slowly rose above the train and gathered behind her like statues.

Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig.

The twelve zodiac animals are lifelike.

The figure in front of it was reflected in the dark eyes of the emerald beast. The puppet witch was covered with white bark like scales, with white hair and white eyes, like a person who had left the world.

"It's useless." The puppet witch said expressionlessly, "The most powerful witch in the world, the 'Witch of Jealousy' is about to be born. No matter what you do now, you are just trying to survive... Xiziyue, you will face the most tragic death."

Xiziyue did not respond.

The next moment, the thread of fate at the bottom of Witch Night suddenly trembled, and three super-giant puppets that were wandering in the city were pulled upward by the thread and flew to the front of the puppet witch. They were like a raging tide going upstream, roaring and surging.

at the same time.

From the top of the space-time train, Britain's strongest magical girl, "Lylai", looked at the War Witch standing in the western corner of Witch Night, and took steps towards the edge of the top of the train. As soon as her feet touched the air, a hard, rough ice surface condensed on the soles of her shoes.

Then, like an ice-skating dancer, she slid down the ice surface at a rapid speed with an elegant and calm posture, drawing an icy-blue arc.

The ice surface beneath her feet extended endlessly forward, as if it was a bridge connecting to the stage above the Witch's Night. Lilai glided diagonally along the ice surface to the stage of the Witch's Night, and then landed gently from above.

Then the layers of ice behind him shattered one after another, turning into flying ice chips that fell into the city.

She put one hand on her waist, raised her icy blue eyes from under her golden hair, and stared at the war witch in a torn Prussian military uniform.

The war witch gently lifted her red hair with a joyful smile on her lips.

"Where's your weapon?" Lilai asked word by word.

“This is my weapon.”

As the joking words fell, four dark red floating turrets slowly rose up behind the War Witch. The design was very metallic, and the black muzzles reflected the blood-red sunlight. They were aimed at Lilai's figure amid the screams of birds.

The east side of Witch Night.

Utena took a deep breath, raised her right hand wrapped in a metal gauntlet, and raised the giant blade-shaped magic sword. A surge of light gushed out from the hilt, like midnight day.

Opposite her, the Dream Witch with a round nightcap, pajamas, and blue wavy hair yawned.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth, and the huge nightmare behind her slowly rose up.

At this moment, the nightmare had absorbed countless dream bubbles. It fed on the dreams of the victims and expanded to a height of more than 20 meters. The body formed by the shadow was faintly turbulent, stirring up a howling cold wind.

The Crown Dream Witch said gloomily:

"Don't worry. The three of you combined can't beat my nightmare. I suggest you stop struggling."

Before she finished her words, Utena had already raised her left hand and crushed the dark red card that she had already held in her palm. This was Utena's origin card - [Holy Sword Burst].

“Huh… You use your ultimate right at the start?” The Crowned Dream Witch was slightly startled and a little dumbfounded. “It’s not the same as the fighting scenes in the cartoons. Can’t you play with me first and let my nightmare swallow more dreams before you use your ultimate?”

As she was lost in thought, the blade of light in Utena's hand expanded a hundred or a thousand times, like a giant tower made of aurora, almost piercing through the blood-red sky and opening a corner of the azure blue.

The next moment, Utena slashed down with a lightsaber that was as dazzling as the daylight.

The blade fell.

In the silence, it was as if a strong tornado swept through, and the clouds within a radius of hundreds of meters were reduced to ashes and disappeared without a trace. The next moment, the light and shadow that covered the sky and the sun were rippling above the stage of Witch Night. At this moment, the blood-red sky was dyed into a pure and extreme white.

Immediately afterwards, streams of magical light surged violently in all directions like a sharp blade breaking through the wind.

"Zodiac sign: Pig."

Xiziyue in the distance remained calm. She used the pig from the jade zodiac as a shield and blocked the aftermath of the explosion.

The puppet witch stood on the shoulder of one of the super giant puppets. Without any extra movements, its huge head alone was enough to block the magical light stream pouring down like a storm, but the aftermath alone almost shattered it.

Xiziyue glanced to the side and saw that although the nightmare was dying, its body was swaying and floating in the air like a candle that could go out at any time, but it was still grinning and protecting the Crown Dream Witch.

"boom--!"

Before one wave of troubles subsides, another wave of trouble arises. This time the noise came from the west side of Witch Night.

Lilai glided in the air on the ice, leaning forward to avoid the salvos from the War Witch's four turrets.

Her golden hair fluttered in the wind, her eyes turned cold, and she crushed the cards with her right hand. Thousands of icicles suddenly appeared behind her. The huge icicles hovered in the air for a moment, and then rushed towards the war witch with the breath of the Far North wind.

But in less than an instant, it was completely shattered by the dark red magic beams fired from the four artillery batteries. A deafening roar fell, and countless ice chips spread out like a rainstorm, accompanied by a gust of cold wind that whistled across everyone's cheeks.

However, the next moment, Lilai crushed her origin card [Falling Iceberg].

Suddenly, half of the stage of Witch Night was covered by a sudden shadow. Everyone looked up and saw a super-giant iceberg suddenly appearing in the sky. If one had to describe it, it was almost as big as the iceberg that the Titanic hit.

Then Lilai swung her right hand downward, and the iceberg smashed towards the war witch on the head.

Amidst a roar like thunder, the iceberg squeezed the atmosphere and fell rapidly.

The War Witch's face changed slightly, and the four floating turrets above her head instantly merged together to form a huge handheld cannon. She pulled the trigger, and a beam of light with a radius of 100 meters shot towards the sky in an instant.

"Your people are really decisive." The puppet witch retracted her gaze and said to Xiziyue.

"Isn't it..." Xiziyue said.

"But you didn't rush to fight me because you knew that I would not die unless all the puppets were destroyed. But as long as Witch Night exists, my puppets can be resurrected infinitely. No matter how many times you destroy them, it will be in vain, just like those magical girls struggling in this city. They are facing the same dilemma as you." The puppet witch said, "Then... the witch of jealousy will be born soon, and you can't stop it from happening. You can only watch this city, and even the whole world, being razed to the ground. This is the inevitable ending."

Xiziyue was silent, and the emerald giant beasts of the twelve zodiac signs rose and fell behind her, like a jade-colored wave rippling.

After a while, she slowly said, "What a pity... I still have something else in reserve."

At this moment, a huge noise suddenly came from the "Statue of the Witch of Jealousy" in the center of Witch Night.

"What a pity." Xiziyue said, "I still have a trick up my sleeve." As she spoke, she glanced sideways at the statue, her eyes as calm as a deep ravine.

"The altar... was destroyed?"

The puppet witch murmured.

She had a blank expression on her face, as if she did not have the muscles to express emotions. Her whole appearance was as pale and thin as her white eyes and white hair.

"What is the Lost Witch...doing?"

Xiziyue said: "It seems that the sacrifice you carefully arranged has been interrupted."

This time it was the puppet witch who remained silent. There was no expression on her face, and her white hair fluttered under the blood-red sky.

At that moment, Lilai's iceberg crashed down, like an atomic bomb exploding. The whole world was shrouded in a moment of silence, and then a roar that was enough to shatter the atmosphere spread throughout the world. Then the War Witch's light column smashed the iceberg, and it roared towards the city like a blizzard. The stage of Witch Night was completely covered with flying ice chips.

The three giant puppets protecting the puppet witch opened their huge mouths, and dark red light spewed out of their mouths, forming a barrier that enveloped her, allowing her to escape the tide of ice chips that broke through the wind like sharp blades.

"Zodiac sign: Dragon."

Xiziyue gave an order to the Emerald Zodiac behind her. The emerald green dragon soared into the air, opened its huge mouth and roared. The flying sharp ice chips instantly solidified in the air, and soon lost its momentum and fell to the ground.

At this time, the puppet witch had already used the small puppet to see the situation inside the statue space. She murmured:

"The Witch of Sloth?... It's really unexpected that both Black Rose and the Witch of Lost are dead."

"It seems that things did not go as you wish." Xiziyue said.

As he spoke, an incredible noise was heard again from the inside of the huge statue at the center of Witch Night. First, a shrill whistle sounded, and then the entire statue began to collapse.

The "face" of the Witch of Jealousy above the statue gradually twisted and a crack appeared.

Hearing the noise, Xiziyue and the puppet witch turned their heads to look.

A girl in a gray-blue dress rose from the inside of the statue and slowly floated up to the sky. Her skirt, like embers, fluttered under the blood-red sky. After reaching a hundred meters above the statue, the girl slowly raised her face and grasped a huge metal sniper rifle.

Then he lowered his eyes, looking down at the entire Witch Night from a high position. The gray-blue flames floating in his pupils seemed to reflect the entire world.

"Xiao Ni?!"

Lilai was slightly startled, and her ice-blue pupils shrank slightly.

"how come……"

Utena clenched the light blade in her hand, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"As expected..."

Gazing at the figure of the Cinder Witch, Xiziyue murmured softly.

One minute ago, inside the statue space.

The classical round table trembled coldly, and the dim light of the candles flickered. As the altar of the witch of hatred collapsed, a corner of the ceiling of the space suddenly broke open, and light poured in.

Ke Mingye took off his helmet and his face was bathed in the blood-red sunlight.

He looked at the figure on the altar and said incoherently: "It's me... Bai Zini, I'm here to take you away."

However, the witch in front of him did not respond. She just looked up at the blood-red sky without saying a word.

She...seems to want to go somewhere higher.

"Kobe, what's going on..." asked the Witch of Sloth, but no response came from her mind.

She looked up at the Witch of Embers rising slowly from the ruins of the altar, and then looked at the back of Blue Owl, who had taken off his helmet and whispered something to her. From the angle behind her, the Witch of Sloth could not see his true appearance.

Ke Mingye stood there in a daze, his figure as pale as a silhouette.

"We should go now." Little Red Riding Hood looked at the Witch of Embers and whispered to Blue Owl, "We can't stop her... Senior Ashes no longer has us in his eyes."

"Why……"

Ke Mingye whispered to himself.

"Maybe... this is what witches are like." The girl in the Christmas dress lowered her eyes.

Hearing Little Red Riding Hood's words, the Witch of Sloth couldn't help but refute her:
"It sounds like you have some misunderstanding about witches. Witches also have basic rationality. At least they won't be so unwilling to listen to others as if they were possessed by another spirit... I mean, she may just need to vent before she can come to her senses. After all, many magical girls in history have experienced this kind of thing when they first became witches."

The Witch of Sloth yawned, smacked her lips and muttered to herself, "Forget it... It has nothing to do with me. I'm leaving now. You guys can take care of yourselves."

As she spoke, she slowly walked behind the huge door of the statue space, and her figure was swallowed up by the shadow in an instant.

"vent……"

Ke Mingye muttered as he put on his helmet and watched the Embers Witch rise into the sky.

"We really have to go. It will be too late if we don't leave now."

The girl in the Christmas dress spoke softly, taking her eyes off the hem of the Ember Witch's skirt, then crushed the Origin Card and summoned the Aurora Sled inside the statue space that was about to collapse.

The wind and snow suddenly howled in the room, blowing on the side of Blue Owl's face. It took him a long time to retract his gaze, slowly turning his head and looking at a corner of the space.

In that cramped and dark corner, Bai Yi was still kneeling on the ground, screaming while holding the headless body of the magical girl Hong - but his throat could no longer make any sound, only a low, hoarse sob.

"White Wing, it's time for us to go..." Blue Owl said softly.

Bai Yi did not respond, his eyes were empty.

It seems that Bai Yi has been affected by the magic of the Lost Witch and has completely lost control.

Seeing this, Little Red Riding Hood moved towards him, dragged the silently howling White Wing away from the body of the magical girl Hong, then kicked him into the sled, then raised her hand and pulled the corner of Blue Owl's clothes, dragging him on top of the sled.

Then, the two elks raised their heads, cried lightly, and suddenly stomped their hooves, flying forward in a gust of whistling snow, dragging the red sled into the shadow behind the gate.
