NOVEL WEB Chapter 25
But now is obviously not the time to think about so many things.
So, Wu Yue looked at the Snake Knight in the distance nervously, and took some time to come out. While staring at the Snake Knight, she ran to Bai Yu and said to her:
"You should be okay? Are you injured now? Maybe I can treat you!"
"...It just hurts, there is no wound yet..."
Shaking her head, Bai Yu replied.
Then she continued:
"Be careful, that weirdo is called Snake Knight, I have never seen it before... and it is very strong."
"...If possible, we have to avoid fighting him now."
"Ah? Two people can't beat him?"
"..."
"...When he first appeared, he killed the negative beast and the cadre puppet."
After a moment of silence, Bai Yu said.
"With our current strength... it may be difficult to deal with him."
"Because before he came, I fought with the Negative Beast and was ambushed."
"So... I'm not in good shape."
"..."
The situation is so serious.
...If she had come earlier, it wouldn't have turned out like this.
Thinking bitterly in her heart, Wu Yue took Bai Yu back and turned her head and said to her:
"Then I'll take you to a safe place first! Take you to... You Yu and let him take care of you first... or if you can, you can go by yourself!"
"... Yeah."
Nodding, Bai Yu agreed with her approach, but didn't notice the change in Wu Yue's expression.
Then, she remembered something and asked:
"What about you? What are you going to do next?"
"... I have to stay here and defeat him."
After taking a look at the Snake Knight, Wu Yue said firmly.
After all, she would not be so naive as to think that this snake knight would give them time to breathe and not attack them.
What if after escaping with Bai Yu, this snake knight started to cause destruction again and attacked ordinary people?
She did not want to see this happen.
So... even if he was very powerful, she had to stay and fight.
As long as there was a chance of victory, she would fight for it.
"..."
"Then I have to..."
"I won't let you stay."
Before she finished speaking, Wu Yue interrupted Bai Yu's speech.
"Although you are... quite annoying, the reason why you are like this now is all because of them, right?"
"Before, You Yu persuaded me... to communicate with you and cooperate with you."
"Then... fighting side by side is better than being alone."
"If there is a chance, it's better to be friends again."
As she said, Wu Yue looked at the snake knight who was also staring at them in the distance.
"That day... I thought about it for a long time, and out of my own will, I decided."
"I want to be friends with you, who looks annoying."
"..."
"So, if it's because of them that you're so annoying..."
"I'll help you beat them."
"But if you die... then there's no point in me beating them."
"But..."
"There's no buts!"
Seeing that Bai Yu still wanted to frown and refute at this time, Wu Yue was a little anxious for a moment and said:
"I just don't want to see anyone get hurt, someone... die, even if it's a nasty guy like you, understand!"
"If you understand... leave quickly! Go to Youyu!"
"Otherwise... I might regret it..."
"..."
"Yeah."
After a moment of silence, Bai Yu looked at Wu Yue who was blocking him, nodded, then turned around and "ran away".
Without hesitation, at a very fast speed.
Seeing this scene, the Snake Knight, who had been watching the show from the side without disturbing them, said with a sigh and imperceptible relief:
"Tsk tsk tsk... What a selfless person, are you the magical girl who appeared not long ago? Do you have your own "ideal" so soon? Protect everyone?"
"Well... With this "wish", you may become very powerful, I hope you won't let me down..."
"... Tsk! Is your character a "martial arts fanatic"? I'm not sure if you'll be disappointed... If you want to fight, fight quickly, don't waste so much words!"
After hearing what the Snake Knight said, Wu Yue also reacted and turned her head to stare at him closely.
While staring at him, she began to think about what she should do.What to do next, how to attack!
She was a little panic, but she could still calm down!
After all, in the days after becoming a magical girl, she and Youyu had studied her fighting methods, such as what to do when facing different enemies, and how to fight giant enemies of the same size.
And this time, it was the best opportunity to test the results of their discussion!
"Hu——"
Because it was the first time to fight a humanoid monster, for the sake of safety, Wu Yue was in a defensive posture, did not take the initiative to attack, and waited to find the flaws when he attacked.
Although she didn't know if it was feasible... but at least the risk would not be too great.
"Then... come on!"
She said this in her heart, mustered up her courage, and stood there without retreating.
"..."
Just...
She maintained this state, and after being nervous for a long time, the snake knight on the opposite side still did not make any moves.
Just like observing some strange creature, he kept looking at her and did not make a move.
"... Tsk!"
Just when she was about to lose her temper and take the initiative to attack, the snake knight put away his sword and began to speak:
"Well... it seems that it still doesn't work now."
As he said, he looked at the tree next to Wu Yue in the distance.
Then, he put his eyes back and smiled:
"Now that all the magic girls have gathered~ I still want to deal with them all together~"
"If it's a round-by-round battle or a sneak attack... this method will only cause me trouble..."
"And... it may not be a good thing for you."
As he said, the snake knight turned around and suddenly summoned a purple portal in front of him and walked into it.
Before leaving, he said finally:
"I hope the next time we meet..."
"You can be more clear-headed, Lan Ye."
"When you need to run, run~ Just leave it to your companions, don't you understand this truth~?"
"Otherwise, if you die too early, my expectations will be dashed~"
Laughing, the Snake Knight disappeared in front of them, leaving only Wu Yue who was confused.
And... Bai Yu, who was hiding in the tree, was so angry that her face turned red because she felt humiliated.
"Snake Knight..."
She gritted her teeth and said these three words.
What is the motive of this guy's behavior...
?!
