What’s going on? How could Mo Four not even defeat Dark Moth, who had already been dismembered once, and even scream so miserably—how embarrassing.
But when he turned around and truly saw how brutal the other battlefield was, he finally understood why Mo Four was screaming so pitifully and loudly.
At this moment, Mo Four was already surrounded by countless butterflies.
The butterflies circled around him, their sharp wings and mouthparts turning into instruments of Dismemberment Torture, slicing his body bit by bit into shreds.
His body was gradually disappearing, being devoured little by little by Dark Moth right in front of him. Mo Four was utterly terrified—it was simply too horrifying.
In the past, even when facing those powerful Magical Girls, he had never felt fear, but now, he was truly afraid.
Being finely chopped up and eaten by a swarm of butterflies—this was a death straight out of a horror movie!
He wanted to resist, to escape with his life, but countless butterflies had completely blocked off all his escape routes. He no longer had any choice to retreat.
So what about turning the tables?
That was even more impossible.
His proud attack methods had no effect whatsoever on Dark Moth; his opponent was not a normal Magical Girl at all!
The methods meant for dealing with Magical Girls were utterly useless!
Since when does a Magical Girl respond to a tentacle monster by chopping it up and eating it?
“Not good.” Seeing this, Moe One immediately wanted to turn back and rescue Mo Four.
He knew very well that if this continued, his companion would definitely die at the hands of Dark Moth.
Damn it, who would have thought Dark Moth still had such a trump card hidden away.
But just as he turned around, a beam of purple light slammed heavily into his back, sending him staggering.
In the distance, the Floating Cannons behind Xia Mo fully deployed, four turrets gathering deep purple magic orbs at their muzzles.
As soon as Moe One made any move, this gathered magic would burst forth as a magic cannon.
Indeed, Xia Mo couldn’t defeat Moe One and was suppressed by him,
but if Moe One wanted to leave to help his companion, he was being far too optimistic.
Xia Mo was just at a disadvantage, not completely helpless. She could still stop Moe One from doing as he pleased.
“Damn it!” Torn between bracing for Xia Mo’s attack to rescue Mo Four or continuing to attack Xia Mo, Moe One hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to save himself first.
Even if he went back, he might not be able to save Mo Four, and he’d end up being caught between Dark Moth and Rosemary. If things went wrong, he’d be finished too.
Judging by the time, Mo Three should have already escaped the Magic Department’s pursuit with the card.
As long as the card reached their master, sacrificing Mo Four wasn’t a big issue.
Anyway, trash like Mo Four—once the master recovers, making a few more is no trouble at all…
Having decided to abandon Mo Four, Moe One didn’t hesitate anymore.
He first charged at Xia Mo, pretending to continue the attack.
When Xia Mo prepared to defend as before, he suddenly swerved sharply in another direction and flew straight away.
In almost the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the vast night.
Xia Mo immediately wanted to give chase, but after glancing at Luo Shuangyue and Mo Four, who were still fighting, she felt it was better to settle things here first.
If Moe One insisted on running, she couldn’t catch up. If she chased after Moe One and let Mo Four escape as well, that would be a loss.
Xia Mo was someone who was easily satisfied. Compared to an uncertain future, she thought a tangible trophy was much better.
At this moment, half of Mo Four’s body had already been eaten by Luo Shuangyue. The remaining half probably wouldn’t last much longer either.
“Wait! Don’t kill him yet!” Seeing this, Xia Mo hurriedly shouted, “Leave one alive!”
It wasn’t that Xia Mo was overflowing with compassion and wanted to spare Mo Four’s life.
She simply thought that dragging Mo Four back for interrogation was much more cost-effective.
If Mo Four just died like this, it would be meaningless.
If she could pry some information about Royal-Class Magic Beasts from his mouth, that would be a real gain.
“Relax, I’ll leave you the head.” Luo Shuangyue didn’t stop her hand, letting the butterflies continue to slice and devour Mo Four’s body, only stopping when his body was on the verge of collapse.
At this point, Mo Four could only be described as miserable.
All the non-human parts that had grown from his body were completely eaten by the butterflies, leaving only a severely Magic Pollution-tainted torso and a still-human-looking head.
Even that torso no longer resembled something a person should have, more like lumps of flesh crudely stuck together.
“Disgusting. Things like this shouldn’t exist in this world.” Retracting the butterflies, Luo Shuangyue shot Mo Four a look of contempt on the ground.
At this moment, she truly realized the strength of Monice.
Looking at what Monice could create, and then at what the Royal-Class Magic Beast could make—the difference was obvious.
Jiu Ye might not be strong, but at least she’s cute!
The Magic Department troops, who had been waiting outside, rushed in as soon as the battle ended.
They immediately restrained Mo Four and stuffed him into a special prison van for monsters, wasting not even a second before sending him straight to the Magic Department.
There, this inhuman being would receive truly brutal, inhumane treatment.
“Looks like tonight’s mission is over.” Luo Shuangyue yawned and stretched.
The Bait Plan was a huge success.
The hidden subordinates of the Royal-Class Magic Beast had been lured out, and one was even caught by them.
The Sealing Card should soon be in the Royal-Class Magic Beast’s hands, and along with it, a Blooming-Rank Magical Girl.
As for Luo Shuangyue herself, she enjoyed a rather delicious midnight snack.
The Demonic Energy flavor from Mo Four was honestly pretty good.
If only she could beat that Royal-Class Magic Beast, Luo Shuangyue might even consider eating it too.
If the underlings taste this good, how bad could the main body be?
If she ate it, Luo Shuangyue might directly reach Full Bloom.
After devouring most of Mo Four, Luo Shuangyue also gained part of his abilities, such as that formidable regeneration power, which she copied over in a Fake version.
Of course, the Fake version was definitely not as strong as the original.
If she wanted to use this imitation ability, the magic power it consumed was several times higher than the real thing.
