Chapter 1807: Chapter 1222: Night of the Witch
When Duanmu Huai joined the group, he saw Tamaki Iroha holding a girl who looked smaller than her but had the same pink hair—hmm, that should be her sister.
“All set?”
Duanmu Huai glanced at the “sisterly bond” scene over there, walked to Ann’s side, and asked. Ann nodded.
“Yes, that’s Iroha’s sister… hmm, there must be some reason why she turned into EVE.”
“Anyway, it’s settled.”
Duanmu Huai didn’t care about the reasons, because there was a more serious issue at hand.
“Homura, how long until Walpurgis Night arrives?”
“From the looks of it, probably not more than an hour.”
Homura Akemi, staring seriously at the distant heavy thunderclouds, silently calculated the time.
“An hour?”
Upon hearing Homura Akemi’s words, Xitong Lingnao’s face immediately changed.
“An hour isn’t nearly enough to evacuate the citizens of Kaname City!”
Kidding, for a city with a population of millions, even two hours wouldn’t be enough to evacuate!
According to Homura, Walpurgis Night, like other witches, would first set up a Witch’s Barrier upon appearing, which wouldn’t affect the real world. However, if not defeated quickly, once Walpurgis Night’s barrier completely covers Kaname City, it would immediately erode reality and utterly destroy it.
In other words, the real battle begins after Walpurgis Night appears and sets up the barrier.
And the current storm is just the prelude! Walpurgis Night hasn’t appeared, nor has it set up the barrier yet!
“No problem, I can handle it.”
Duanmu Huai chuckled, then spoke. He had already learned about Walpurgis Night’s traits from Homura Akemi; in simple terms, this Walpurgis Night isn’t particularly strong, just incredibly tough to hurt. Even Homura Akemi found it difficult to break its defenses. Aside from that, Walpurgis Night doesn’t seem to have any particularly strange or terrifying powers.
If so, then Duanmu Huai had nothing to fear!
Isn’t breaking defenses just a question of firepower?
Ultimately, every problem is a firepower problem!
If the firepower is sufficient, no problem is a problem!
And for the Tribunal, the firepower problem is not a problem at all!
“Leave it to me to handle.”
“Then… alright.”
Xitong Lingnao had no choice, as evacuating the entire city in an hour was certainly impossible. Even if Walpurgis Night’s barrier initially didn’t affect reality, just the storm was enough to paralyze all traffic in Kaname City. Under such circumstances, trying to evacuate would clearly be unworkable and would only cause greater chaos.
So… the only hope was to eliminate it before Walpurgis Night completely destroyed Kaname City.
At this moment, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed.
“Ah hahaha… ah hahaha… ah hahahaha!!”
“It’s here!”
Upon hearing this voice, Homura Akemi trembled all over, clenching her fists. Hearing Homura Akemi’s words, the others immediately tensed up, looking around, and then Kyōko Sakura raised the long spear in her hand, pointing towards the distant clouds.
“Is it that one?”
“Hmm?”
Following Homura’s long spear point of view, everyone saw a strange figure rising and falling in the thick dark clouds. It looked like an inverted person with two long horns on its head, behind which shimmered a bizarre magic circle…
Is this Walpurgis Night?
Doesn’t look that strong?
Duanmu Huai skeptically examined this Walpurgis Night ahead and felt he didn’t think it was formidable, yet it was still a Tribunal mission? Just this?
“Should we prepare to take action?”
Now everyone had reached the nearby tall building top, staring at the witch drifting along with the wind, its sinister laugh resonating. Tomoe Mami flexed a bit, holding the flintlock gun in her hand, and asked. Beside her, Tamaki Iroha and the others also prepared themselves.
“We absolutely cannot let Walpurgis Night enter Kaname City!”
Xitong Lingnao was now extremely anxious. Walpurgis Night appeared and was advancing towards Kaname City. If it entered Kaname City, the consequences would be disastrous! Luckily, Walpurgis Night was still at sea, and if it could be eliminated here, that would naturally be best!
“We’re counting on you all!!”
“Take action!!”
The other Magic Girls had also heard from Homura Akemi about Walpurgis Night, but even so, they weren’t confident about how powerful Walpurgis Night was, so they hurriedly took action, launching attacks at Walpurgis Night.
Tomoe Mami was naturally the first to act, as she waved her right hand, thousands of flintlock guns instantly forming a gun array, firing at the distant Walpurgis Night. Simultaneously, Nanami Yachiyo and Kyōko Sakura also summoned countless long spears, throwing them towards Walpurgis Night. Meanwhile, Homura Akemi and Tamaki Iroha also raised their weapons and ceaselessly fired at Walpurgis Night.
Even Qianshu brought out her plasma gun—well, the range was insufficient.
She could only offer moral support.
“Boom boom boom boom boom!!”
The Magic Girls’ attacks hit Walpurgis Night’s massive body simultaneously, erupting a series of flashes and smoke. But when the smoke cleared and Walpurgis Night reappeared before the crowd, it was completely unharmed!
“How is this possible?!”
Seeing this, Kyōko Sakura, Tomoe Mami, and Nanami Yachiyo were all shocked simultaneously. The three could be considered veteran Magic Girls, battling witches was as easy as eating and drinking for them. Not to mention Tamaki Iroha who’s just tagging along, at least with the three of them working together, they should be able to break the defense!
But the fact is, it looks like they didn’t even scratch the Witch’s Night?
Is this witch really that exaggerated?
“Drink ah—————!”
While the three Magic Girls were astonished, Mugeng also spread her wings, wielding the Demon Sword, flew through the air, and struck fiercely at the witch’s upside-down head before her!
“Ahahahaha, ahahahahahaha……!”
Facing Mugeng’s attack, the Witch’s Night still didn’t dodge, simply laughed foolishly, like a fool. Mugeng naturally didn’t care, slashing at her with a sword.
“Clang!!”
In the next moment, Mugeng was instantly knocked back, spun several times in the air before coming to a stop.
“Wow, this guy’s skin is too tough!”
Looking at the Witch’s Night face which seemed like a grinning mask, Mugeng also gasped, she had attacked the witch’s head with full force, yet this witch was as hard as diamond, unable to be cut!
How to fight this?
Thinking of this, Mugeng also turned her head and shouted to the others.
“No, it’s too hard, can’t cut at all!”
“What should we do?”
Hearing Mugeng’s words, everyone’s expressions changed slightly. Although the previous attack was only a probe, everyone had used 80 to 90 percent of their strength. Even though they hadn’t used full strength, if 80 to 90 percent of power couldn’t cause any harm to the Witch’s Night, would full power only tickle?
However, fortunately, they still had a trump card!
Thinking of this, everyone turned their heads towards Duanmu Huai— if even he couldn’t do anything, then there would truly be no hope against the Witch’s Night.
Yet, contrary to what everyone thought, Duanmu Huai didn’t go directly to clean up the Witch’s Night but lowered his head and talked to Ann instead.
“Is everything in position?”
“Yes, just now… we should actually have given it more time.”
“Plans change quickly. Given this situation, we can only adjust the sequence, clean up Witch’s Night first, then implement the second phase of the plan.”
“Then… okay, take action now?”
“That’s right, call in support.”
“Okay.”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s answer, Ann nodded, then everyone saw her stretch out her hand and point it on her arm. A sci-fi screen-like object appeared out of thin air.
“Ah, Miss Ann, and… uh… Uncle Duanmu? What’s with your outfit?”
“Looks good, right?”
“Eh…? Ah… this………”
Facing Duanmu Huai dressed in a pink and white Magic Girl lace outfit, showing off his muscles proudly, Aikute was at a loss, not knowing what to say.
However, everyone in the Tribunal knew of Duanmu Huai’s bizarre tastes, like the pink fluffy bunny… they were quite used to it.
“Hah…”
Ann sighed silently, directly interrupting the pointless exchange between the two.
“The plan needs to be implemented early, notify the fleet to stand by.”
“Understood.”
Hearing Ann’s order, Aikute, who was bewildered by Duanmu Huai’s unexpected move, quickly reacted, hurriedly nodded.
“The fleet has reached the designated location and can act at any time.”
“Then, first, eliminate that monster!”
As Ann spoke, she locked onto the Witch’s Night, while Aikute stared at the screen, then nodded.
“Order received, executing immediately.”
Saying this, Aikute cut off communications, and seeing this, everyone was puzzled. Just as they wanted to ask questions, suddenly, a shocking scene unfolded.
In the sky, within the dense clouds, a huge black shadow appeared out of nowhere. Then, a grand and magnificent gigantic warship descended like a giant whale from the clouds, slowly turning its body, its Macro Cannon and Light Spear aiming at the Witch’s Night.
“Humph.”
Watching this, Duanmu Huai coldly sneered.
Not enough firepower, huh.
Then let me show you what overwhelming firepower is!
“Open fire!”
“Boom———————!”
With Duanmu Huai’s command, the Macro Cannon of the gigantic warship exploded with a thunderous roar. Cannonballs and Light Spears shot out together, hurling towards the Witch’s Night ahead!
