[Comprehensive English and American] Magical Girls in Gotham

Three days later, it will be Xiaobao's 15th birthday and her fifth anniversary as a magical girl.

But with five years of experience in magical girls, this is the first time she has encountered strange stories.

In fact, for the vast majority of magical girls, they never had the chance to see ghost stories until they passed their birthdays and became witches.

Even most of the witches have never faced and fought against ghost stories-especially such monsters that are based on cities.

The full name of ghost talk is substantive ghost talk.

It is an urban anecdote that spreads in people's mouths. It is born through dark life forms or naturally combined with monsters. It has a real existence and has a very wide range of influence.

Xiaojiu's deepest understanding of ghost stories is no more than this.

Perhaps it can be added that Anna once told her that the ghost talk is an enemy dealt with by the witch.

The magical girl companion who always knows a lot of unpopular knowledge also told her that there is a very dangerous and troublesome existence called ghost story.

But these messages are so thin and simple, and the danger of understatement is hard to make young and energetic girls quit.

Danger, what kind of danger is it?

Tricky, and how tricky?

Can magical girls deal with 'witch-handled enemies' without a witch?

Known as the strongest, growing at an astonishing speed, going smoothly and easily eliminated countless enemies who were assessed as 'dangerous'...

After discovering that the enemy that needs to be dealt with this time is a ghost, Xiaojiu's first reaction was not to ask Anna for help, but like so many times in the past, he chose to fight with his companions.

She believed that she could guard the city with Dick and the others.

In fact, she almost did.

It's just that the difference is really impossible to make up for the gap.

After recognizing that the siren represented Kagetan, she immediately found a corner where there was no one and transformed into the sky. While looking at Gotham to analyze the situation, she found the location of Kagetan's body and contacted Dick and Qiraculous.

After discovering that the whole city was shrouded in dark energy, she, who didn't know about ghost stories, made a bold guess that Gotham had become ghost stories.

After making this guess, she decisively let Qili go to other crowded areas to protect the citizens. She and Dick went to Director Gordon and Batman, and asked them to evacuate through the police station and Wayne Group to appease the panicked people. Citizens, avoid extreme emotions to strengthen the power of ghost stories.

Guaitan should also have a core that can be purified, right?

With such thoughts in mind, Xiaojiu once again flew into the sky covered by dark clouds. The thick black clouds seemed to engulf her small but white body, and it was like a huge tornado that could tear her apart in the next second. gotta smash.

The high-altitude wind was icy and cold, as sharp as it could cut a person's skin, and the monsters lurking in the clouds were about to move.

But because she has Dick on her back, Xiaojiu can calmly make a gesture of love towards the city on the ground, and release a more powerful purification beam than usual.

Like the light beam of the cannon of light, it is so small in front of the city, but after approaching the city, the light spreads out like a liquid, filling the entire Gotham.

This move is quite suspected of betting against each other, but the facts prove that Xiaojiu's bet was right and wrong.

Although the ghost story based on the city is really a huge monster, Xiaojiu failed to purify it successfully, but it also forced out a dark dimension life form that merged with the Gotham ghost story.

The fault was that she miscalculated the strength of herself and the enemy.

A huge black shadow rises from the city, condensing into an indescribable monster. Just looking at it is enough to make ordinary people fall into great fear and anxiety, and be swallowed by desperate emotions and dark memories.

As a magical girl, Kobato can resist the influence of dark forces.

The magical girl uniform equipped by Dick also has the effect of soothing and protecting his spirit.

After Batman discovered that the pair of pink bat darts on his body had a similar effect, he immediately inserted one into Gordon, who was a little emotionally broken.

The raccoon in the urban area found Alfred and repelled the phantom of the crocodile for him. As a magic contracted beast, it can share the magic of the Koto Club, and its combat power is about 05 Koto.

And this old butler who loyally served the Wayne family showed that he also has the ability to be a hero in times of crisis.

Facing Qili's protection, he didn't settle for passively accepting the protection at the Wayne House, but drove Qili to the city center where the black monster was, so that Qili could protect more people.

Poison Ivy fulfilled her promise, and under her drive, the plants with purifying power almost covered the entire city where she was, blooming bright flowers one after another.

Those flowers drifted away with the wind, completely isolating the legendary monsters and the forces that affect people's hearts.

Who would have thought that Poison Ivy, who hates humans, would one day protect the citizens?

But just dealing with the monsters running around in the city and resisting spiritual pollution is enough to hold them all back, and only Xiaojiu and Dick can fight against the life forms of the dark dimension.

One of them is a young magical girl who has never lost a battle.

One is Robin who does not have enough knowledge of the magical world and is essentially a vigilante.

Koto and Dick thought they had successfully dragged the dark dimension life form to the suburbs near the gate.

In fact, it was the opponent who had experienced severe beatings and suddenly became much wiser, and deliberately lured them to this place.

The closer the door is, the easier it is for the dark dimension lifeform to mobilize the dark power of the door.

Xiaojiu is betting in many places this time, and so is the life form of the dark dimension.

It put almost all its energy on this battle.

Gotham is a powerful weapon as a monster, but it cannot be activated and used without investing enough dark power.

It used this ▇▇ door in violation of the regulations, allowing it to release the dark power in excess, allowing him to open and control the strange talk of 'Gotham City'.

If this operation fails, the remaining strength of the gate will be difficult to open again, and they will no longer be able to invade and pollute the world through this gate.

But if successful.

The city will fall completely, be eroded into a land suitable for their survival, and become the most important milestone in their process of corrupting the world.

Its clan will also be remembered by all dark beings.

In various senses, the life form of the dark dimension is betting right.

Koto is strong, overwhelmingly strong.

The alienated bodies that appeared in Gotham before were extremely difficult for most magical girls, but it was easy for her to win them all.

Even without help, she would probably win so easily, but she is used to cooperating with others.

If you still follow that kind of investment and pace, the dark dimension lifeforms will be like the gourd baby saving grandpa, giving her the alienated bodies one by one to defeat, consuming the precious power of Guangmen.

But no matter how strong she is, she is still a magical girl who is only 15 years old.

The ghost talk itself is no longer a level that magical girls can handle.

What's more, the strange talk of Gotham not only has enough darkness in itself, but also has been injected with so much dark energy.

This is an impossible, indescribably terrifying monster.

Xiaojiu used to be the strongest who crushed the enemy, this day she experienced the feeling of being crushed for the first time.

Every attack of the opponent contains a power that he cannot match.

Facing the magical attack that was like a storm, Xiaojiu and Dick struggled just to avoid it, and there was no chance to fight back.

Even the evasion wasn't complete. After several attacks, Dick and Xiaojiu both failed.

Dick has a wealth of experience in facing enemies stronger than himself. Taking advantage of the complacent dark dimension life form on the opposite side, he temporarily stopped attacking and gave a speech. Through the communication function of the earrings, he passed on important suggestions to Xiaojiu.

"This is probably beyond our ability to deal with it. Can you contact Anna?" These words woke up Xiaojiu suddenly.

Anna has told her many times that she can be contacted and asked to help when she needs it.

Xiaojiu didn't forget this incident, but she had never encountered such a situation that needed the help of her seniors, and she didn't have the concept of 'I can't beat it, I need help' in her mind.

She has always been a leader, a winner, helping others.

"I'll attract its attention later, you step back and contact her." Dick gently squeezed Xiaojiu's hand.

"it is good."

The gloves on the two people's hands were already broken, and the touching hands were covered with sand and sticky blood from the fall, but Xiaojiu calmed down his flustered heart all of a sudden.

No problem, those blue eyes were sending her that message.

It was the first time she experienced a real battle, and the girl who was still a little bit at a loss slowly strengthened her heart.

She nodded vigorously to him.

Before the life form of the dark dimension finished talking and started a new wave of attacks, Dick shook off its enchanted bird dart standing on the black mud-like figure, and jumped briskly to its side :

"Let's try again, can you catch me?"

The life form of the dark dimension was irritated as expected, and the ominous black blade was immediately fired at the position where Dick was standing.

Taking advantage of its attention being attracted by Dick, Xiaojiu immediately took out the magic crystal that could contact Anna from the space pocket, and injected it with magic power.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, Xiaojiu has never felt that time passes so slowly.

In the fourth second, another wound was drawn on Dick's arm by the shadow blade.

The good news is that Ana's projection is finally here.

The bad news is that from the projection, Anna is also fighting.

"Gotham itself has become a ghost story, we need your help! Anna."

But the situation was critical, so Xiaojiu could only briefly and quickly tell Anna about the situation on his side.

"I rushed over immediately and held on before I got there."

In order to prevent the life forms in the dark dimension from noticing the situation here, Xiaojiu cut off the communication of the magic crystal without answering.

The purpose of contacting Anna has been achieved, and she now needs to make other efforts.

She rushed towards Dick like an arrow, condensed a magic shield, and blocked an unavoidable dark energy ball for him.

The translucent magic shield also shattered and turned into light spots.

Ordinary alienated bodies may not be able to hit the cracked shield with dozens of hits, but they can't even withstand a single blow in front of this strange talk condensed body.

"Do you know? There are many special places in this urban ghost story, so there can be many special attack methods."

Xiaojiu and Dick didn't want to know, but the life form in the dark dimension really wanted them to know.

Maybe it was crushed for too long in the past, it treated them like a cat and a mouse, consuming their physical strength in different ways, adding wounds one after another.

Despair is an excellent delicacy for life forms in the dark dimension.

If it could make a magical girl feel hopeless... Just imagine it, life forms in the dark dimension would laugh wildly.

The dark dimension is a dimension full of evil, killing, and greed. Born from the dark dimension, they use it as a necessity for survival and a source of strength. They are natural invaders, and their biggest goal is to erode and assimilate other worlds and dimensions, making them become soil suitable for their survival.

During this aggression, their biggest enemies are magical girls and witches.

Compared with killing, they are actually more eager to see them despair and degenerate.

——Xiaojiu and Dick were indeed forced into an unprecedented predicament by the life forms of the dark dimension.

As long as the magical girl has enough magic power, she can quickly heal the wounds on her body, and it is not a problem for Xiaojiu to be cut a few times.

But for Dick, it made a big difference.

After all, he is not a real magical girl, his wound cannot heal quickly by himself, and his reaction will be reduced due to excessive blood loss, even life-threatening.

He also cannot automatically break down the dark toxin that seeps through the wound through the attack.

He doesn't even have the magic power of the vitality feature. As long as the magic power is enough, he can continue indefinitely without feeling tired. He is an ordinary person whose physical strength will pass with the battle, and his muscles will be sore from overuse.

Even if Kobato used healing magic for him, Dick's condition was obviously getting worse.

Xiaojiu's own condition is not very good. It is the first time she has experienced such a embarrassing battle, and she has consumed her magic power to this extent.

She had almost given up using magic to heal her own wounds.

Dick needs to stop the bleeding more than she does. If those dark toxins are not removed in time, they will also cause irreversible damage to him.

This dangerous battle situation even made Xiaojiu learn to use magic power carefully and carefully.

In the later stage of the battle, she had given up dodging, but instead used magic props to build a simple line of defense, condensed a magic shield, and simply defended.

Doing so saves mana more than spending mana to increase speed and dodge.

It's just easier to feel hopeless.

This is a purely passive defense.

The shield was shattered again and condensed again.

Her magic power is on the verge of exhaustion, maybe if this shield is shattered, the next one will not be able to condense.

Dick fell into a coma, and his life and death were uncertain.

Anna didn't know how long it would be until they arrived, and they might die in the next second.

But in this desperate predicament, Xiaojiu thought of a problem for the first time.

What is hope?

She is one of the few magical girls who knows what her roots are.

Her root is hope.

She had never faced despair in the past. The death of her parents made her very painful and sad, but it was not hopeless, nor was it hopeless.

She had never thought deeply about what hope was, let alone had the opportunity to deeply experience it—maybe it was because she was always looking forward to tomorrow, and she was always surrounded by hope.

But at this moment, she feared that she couldn't protect Dick, regretted that she hadn't informed Anna in the first place, and wondered if she had caused everyone's death here.

She seemed a little desperate.

After feeling this despair, a new hope was born.

She doesn't want it to end here.

She believes that she will not fall, she believes that she can continue to fight.

She will protect Dick.

She will hold out until Anna arrives.

She can do more, this is not her limit...!

The magic shield once again turned into a light spot.

The pink magic light flickered a few times in the girl's blood-stained palm, but failed to condense a new shield.

Xiaojiu turned her head and glanced at Dick who was leaning against the tree by her.

His face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, his forehead was covered with coagulated blood, and his life and death were uncertain.

Her heart almost stopped when Dick was knocked out, and his coma was also a major reason why Xiaojiu turned to passive defense.

She couldn't leave Dick there helpless and rush to fight by herself.

Half kneeling on the ground, she staggered up, stood in front of Dick, and made a loving gesture to the dark dimension life form not far in front of her.

The magic core has been exhausted, is there any point in making a gesture of purifying magic?

She is willing to try, as long as she can move and breathe, she will not give up.

Dick felt his body was very cold and heavy as if he was being pressed by countless stones. He didn't know if he was still breathing, only his heart was beating violently.

The pain in his brain is drowsy, but there is a voice that keeps telling him to wake up quickly, open his eyes quickly, and move quickly... Otherwise...

otherwise……

He opened his heavy eyelids with difficulty, and countless blurred color blocks formed a shaking picture.

He saw her back.

He saw the black monster before them.

He must hurry up and fight...

But it seemed that even this barely conscious consciousness was moving away from him.

He wanted to call her name, to tell her to get out of the way.

But he only saw an ominous black beam of light coming straight towards them, and then submerged her body.

——This was the last sight he saw before he passed out again.

It is said that human potential is infinite.

Then, can a magical girl who has completely exhausted her magic power dig out the 'potential' at the core of her magic power and use magic again when she lives and dies?

The magical girl submerged in the darkness still maintains the posture of releasing the purification magic.

The moment the silver spear pierced through the monster, white light burst from the girl's palm.

The world was a vast expanse of whiteness.

The white light that can devour everything and purify everything, so pure that no other colors are allowed to exist, penetrates the entire Gotham City.

Thousands of long spears burning with purple flames shattered the remaining body of the monster, and also tore apart the core of the dark dimension life form, which is equivalent to the human heart.

Blue-purple irises fell from the woman's thin purple hair, and the woman's long and narrow phoenix eyes seemed to be burning with purple flames.

She gently picked up the scarred girl from the ground, summoned her wand, but paused before she was about to sit on it.

The smoky blue cat-shaped creature stood beside the comatose teenager on the ground, its eyes like strange-colored gemstones were full of exhaustion.

Anna didn't speak, she walked to Dick with Xiaojiu in her arms, stretched out her hand and used the healing magic on him.

Dick was seriously injured, but it was mainly a physical injury. Healing magic was very effective for this kind of situation. Even if Anna was not good at healing, most of his injuries were basically healed, avoiding the possibility of sequelae.

After Anna finished this, Qili jumped onto her shoulders, sat on the wand with her, and left without looking back.
