Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret - Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret chapter 24

24. The Late Arrival of Wu Yue

“Boom!”

“The reaction is good, the will is fine, but your movements… still can’t keep up with your reaction.”

“Have you really been living like this during your time of ‘revenge’?”

“Can you really kill all those guys like this?”

“Answer me, Lan Ye.”

“Cough cough…”

Enduring the pain, Bai Yu got up from the ground, looking at the snake knight slowly approaching her, lacking even the strength to brace herself.

The reason was simple: this snake knight was simply too strong.

If she had the ability to fight against the enemies she faced before, then facing this snake knight was a complete crushing—she was the one being crushed.

Just like now, she couldn’t even remember how many times she had been knocked down and then gotten back up again.

And now… she felt even more angry and confused about the snake knight’s actions.

Why doesn’t he kill her? Why does he engage in these meaningless “lessons”?

Moreover, these lessons… she could tell were not just the snake knight wanting to inflict pain on her, but seemed to be targeted, as if he was fighting with her.

Could it be to train her, to enhance her combat ability…? No! That’s too absurd!

What is his true purpose?

“Ha… the questions you’re asking me now… what do they have to do with you?”

“What? Do you want to stop me? Stop me from killing all your ‘kind’?”

“Clearly, you are the one who has gone the most ‘overboard’, right?”

“…”

After hearing her words, the snake knight paused for a moment, then said:

“Stop you? Perhaps in a certain sense, you could say that, because right now, you truly don’t have the ability to ‘avenge’ on your own.”

“Magical girls grow stronger with their wishes, and desires amplify… this is common knowledge, but if you die early, then this premise becomes meaningless.”

“Then… there would be no fun~”

As she spoke, the Snake Knight seemed to laugh, extending a right hand towards her and saying:

“So, I’ll be honest with you. Right now, you don’t have the ability to fight them… you would only suffer a terrible defeat.”

“Then why not leave it to me? I’ll take care of all those things, and you… haha, just focus on your own business…”

“After all, you can’t do anything, right? If every battle ends up like this, then what’s the meaning of your fighting?”

“If all your efforts turn out to be in vain… then it would be better not to have started these things at all.”

“…”

“You just keep talking to yourself… and doing those things…”

Grinding her teeth, suppressing the anger in her heart, Bai Yu said:

“What exactly do you want to do?!”

“Of course, it’s to prevent you from dying so quickly~”

For the first time, the Snake Knight answered her question directly.

And this was a question Bai Yu had not anticipated.

Preventing her from dying so quickly? Why? The sooner she died, wouldn’t it be more beneficial for those guys?

Uh… just to clarify, this is definitely not her wanting to die; she simply couldn’t understand it logically…

“If you were to die right now, that would be such a pity…”

As he spoke, a sense of regret seeped into the Snake Knight’s tone.

“After all, what I want to do… besides killing all those guys, is to have a battle with you ‘magical girls’…”

“So…”

As he spoke, without Bai Yu even realizing it, the Snake Knight instantly moved in front of her and said:

“I won’t stop until I’m completely ‘satisfied’, you know?”

“However, relying on your own development… that’s just too slow~”

“So~ I couldn’t help but use some special means to make you stronger~”

“…What do you take me for?! Your toy?!”

“Talking about making me stronger is just your selfish desire, isn’t it?!”

Unable to contain her anger any longer, Bai Yu channeled the magic within her, quickly gathering it into her fist, and threw a punch at the Snake Knight’s cheek.

However…

“Smack!”

This seemingly powerful, sudden strike was effortlessly blocked by the Snake Knight with one hand.

Moreover, he firmly grasped her hand, leaving her unable to break free.

“?!”

Seeing that the situation before her was not right, Bai Yu exerted all her strength, trying to break free, but she couldn’t pull her hand away from the iron-like grip of the Serpent Knight.

At this moment… the Serpent Knight seemed to have returned to a “normal” state, no longer mocking her with a teasing tone.

He simply watched her futile struggle in silence and said:

“You’ve come this far… and you still have the courage to resist me.”

“In a way, you really are quite reckless.”

Never giving up and never backing down? Such spirit is admirable, but the risks that come with it are not insignificant.

Although she had temporarily lost her ability to liquefy for a brief moment, it wasn’t that there were no chances to escape.

Yet she chose not to run, remaining steadfast in her position.

This kind of “character” can be a bit troublesome to handle carefully.

Moreover, if he were to communicate with Bai Yu now, she might not even be able to take it in.

…Then now would be the time to change identities.

“…”

With that thought, he raised his other hand high, forming a knife-hand posture, ready to knock her out.

However… just as he lifted his hand—

“What are you doing to her?!”

A voice he knew all too well suddenly came from behind him.

“?!”

Turning around, sure enough, he saw the magical girl, Firebird, charging at him in a flying kick stance.

That is… Wu Yue.

“You made it just in time.”

But it seemed like it was still a bit late.

Thinking this, he tossed Bai Yu aside to prevent her from being accidentally harmed by Wu Yue, then placed his hands in front of his chest, preparing to personally experience Wu Yue’s strength.

“Boom!”

The flaming flying kick struck the Serpent Knight like a meteor, and feeling the rapidly rising temperature around him, he frowned and then sent Wu Yue flying away.

“?! Hey hey!”

Seeing her attack had no effect, a flustered Wu Yue spun in the air before finally landing steadily.

Then, she looked at the Serpent Knight before her, revealing a tense expression.

Because it seemed… this was an enemy of a higher rank, right?

Was she really going to fight an enemy of this caliber for the second time?

And looking at the severely damaged surroundings… she felt a bit uncertain.

What exactly happened before she arrived??
