Chapter 929: Lingyun's Script

~7 min read 1,237 words

Akemi Homura closed the door to the faculty office, her expression somewhat disappointed; she had not been able to see Lingyun.

"Is the teacher not here?"

"You mean Teacher Lingyun? He doesn't have any classes today, so he didn't come in!" a teacher said to her with a smile.

Meanwhile, Lingyun stood at the highest point in the city, quietly gazing at the buildings below. Among these structures, a faint, murky aura was slowly rising, recklessly extending its claws and fangs.

It seemed that because she was hidden within a Witch Barrier and invisible to ordinary people, this Witch appeared quite brazen; Lingyun could even feel her power continuously spreading throughout an area.

"Sigh, this is truly excessive," Lingyun sighed slightly.

He knew that at the very beginning, this Witch must have also been a Magical Girl who brought hope to others. But for however many people she brought hope to, she would inevitably bring despair to just as many after transforming into a Witch. A young girl staked her entire life, only to end up with such a fate. Don't tell him that hope must be equal to despair, and that the two must cancel each other out to zero; if so, what then of the life and soul the girl sacrificed, and her struggles during her time as a Magical Girl?

"So, as expected, everything is Kyubey's fault! In this world, Tokiomi has found a scapegoat!" Lingyun waved his hand casually, and rays of light were released from his hand, falling into the city.

The light quietly formed a barrier outside the Rose Witch's Witch Barrier. This barrier could not prevent others from entering or exiting, but it could isolate the Witch's power, preventing the Witch within the barrier from exerting her strength.

"Ruoxi, I think our plan might be able to be moved up!" Lingyun's eyes lit up, not knowing what he had thought of.

"Lingyun, what did you think of?" Ruoxi asked with some curiosity.

"You'll see when the time comes. Although it's impossible to completely destroy the trust Kyubey has in Tomoe Mami's heart, making her waver should be doable." A hint of a smile flashed in Lingyun's eyes.

"Mm, then I shall wait and see!" Ruoxi nodded and said.

On campus, Tomoe Mami, acting as the upperclassman, looked smilingly at Sayaka and Kaname Madoka before her, her hands gently clasped together: "Then, now, for the first Magical Girl experience lesson, let's get motivated and start!"

Just as the three of them set off, Akemi Homura quietly followed them. Subsequently, Lingyun also followed. With his abilities, as long as he did not actively reveal his presence, neither Kyubey nor the other girls could discover his existence.

Guided by their Soul Gems, Tomoe Mami and the two others successfully found the Rose Witch's hiding place: a dilapidated building in disrepair for years. During this process, they even saved a woman who was jumping off the building due to the Rose Witch's manipulation.

Seeing the woman saved, Lingyun also breathed a slight sigh of relief. If Tomoe Mami and the others had arrived a little later, he might have had to intervene in this matter.

After imbuing the baseball bat in Sayaka's hand with Magic, Tomoe Mami led Kaname Madoka and the other girl straight into the Witch Barrier.

After the three disappeared into the Witch Barrier, Akemi Homura's figure also appeared at the entrance of the building, then quickly entered the barrier. Although she knew that Kaname Madoka was safe in this battle, with Kyubey by her side, she could not rest easy no matter what.

After Akemi Homura's figure disappeared into the entrance of the barrier, Lingyun also appeared before the barrier and entered it with ease.

Inside the Rose Witch's Witch Barrier, Tomoe Mami used her Magic Musket to continuously crush the incoming Familiars. Before her two underclassmen, she displayed her abilities to the fullest; no matter what kind of enemy blocked her path, she could easily crush them, leaving Sayaka and Kaname Madoka behind her dazzled and filled with envy.

The trio charged straight into the depths of the Witch Barrier; no matter what kind of enemy it was, nothing could block Tomoe Mami's path.

Lingyun, watching this scene from the shadows, could not help but nod slightly. Tomoe Mami was truly worthy of being the strongest combatant in the Five-Color Squad, and she was also an existence with extremely superior talent; she had even developed Gun and Cannon Magic for combat. If her mindset could be more stable, and she lived until the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, it was not impossible for her to join forces with Akemi Homura and Sakura Kyoko to defeat Walpurgisnacht.

After passing through one strange, abstract-style door after another, the Witch within this Witch Barrier finally appeared before Tomoe Mami and the other two.

Lingyun, hidden in the Void, looked at the Witch in the center of the Witch Barrier with an indescribable expression on his face. Although he had been prepared, the appearance of this Witch was simply too abstract.

"So disgusting..." Facing the Rose Witch, even the usually carefree Sayaka could not help but complain aloud.

"Do we have to fight such an enemy?" A hint of hesitation could not help but appear on Kaname Madoka's face.

"It's fine, how could I lose!" Tomoe Mami said to the two behind her with a confident face.

Having said that, Tomoe Mami leaped down from the passageway and charged toward the Rose Witch.

Seeing Tomoe Mami appear, the Rose Witch let out a hiss, and countless Familiars charged toward Tomoe Mami simultaneously. Tomoe Mami was not afraid in the slightest; one after another, Magic Muskets appeared beside her. She shouldered the flintlocks and fired them one after another toward the Rose Witch. Under Tomoe Mami's attack, the Rose Witch gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"This is the moment; now is the time for my script!" Lingyun, hidden in the shadows, reached out a hand, and a massive book wreathed in mysterious light appeared before him.

Lingyun's right-hand fingers turned, and a pen wreathed in mysterious light appeared in his hand. Lingyun raised the pen and began writing rapidly on the book.

A layer of imperceptible purple light quietly appeared on some of the Rose Witch's Familiars, which then quietly lurked toward the direction of Kaname Madoka and the other girl.

"Ah—"

Following a startled cry from Kaname Madoka, a butterfly-shaped Familiar flew rapidly from bottom to top and collided with Kaname Madoka's hand. The force of this collision was very clever; it did not injure Kaname Madoka, but it made her loosen her hands holding Kyubey and fall backward, while Kyubey was also sent flying by the impact.

Kyubey, flying in mid-air, still had a hint of confusion in its eyes, clearly not knowing why such a thing would happen. Under normal circumstances, with it here, neither Familiars nor even Witches should attack it.

And behind Kaname Madoka, another Familiar appeared out of nowhere; this Familiar looked like a ball of cotton with a mustache. This Familiar acted as a cushion for Kaname Madoka; although it was crushed by Kaname Madoka's body, it dissipated the impact of her fall.

Kaname Madoka, lying on the ground with a hint of confusion still in her eyes, saw several Familiars turn into rose vines, which entangled Kyubey's body and pulled it toward the center of the barrier below.
