Joining forces to defeat Lubare and kill the most valued retainer of "Prince White Wing", this is the result of the secret meeting at the workshop.
The one who proposed this was Aozaki Touko. Although she was usually lazy and indifferent to most things, and seemed easy to get along with, she was actually a person with a strong sense of revenge. Anyone who dared to touch her reverse scale paid a painful price.
In the past, her reverse scale was the family heirloom "Fifth Magic". After she betrayed her family, it was given the forbidden name "Red of Pain", which led to "Night of the Magicians" and the bloody incident that shocked the clock tower.
Now, her weak spot is a little boy who breaks into her heart in a rude and unreasonable way. In order to protect this boy, she once again transforms into the witch that her enemies fear.
"Yakura, help me break the barrier. Lorelaia, prepare the group levitation magic. Kirie, you take the lead. Fujino, I'll leave the door to you."
Instructions were issued one by one, and every girl who received them took action as quickly as possible, including Lorelaia. Military operations require strict compliance with orders, and since Orange was confirmed to be the leader, she must obey her orders during the operation.
"Fujino, do it!"
"Yes, Sensei." The red and green lights intertwined into a spiral in Fujino's eyes. This spiral was reflected in the scenery on the retina through the highest-level Mystic Eye, Rainbow.
Then, the spiral was ignited.
In an instant, the sky spun and the scenery distorted.
The ancient castle floating on the lake shook violently, as if it had encountered a magnitude 9 earthquake.
The city gate that no human had been able to pass through for hundreds of years was shattered in the girl's eyes.
The moment the gate was completely shattered, Loreleija's magic was ready, and blue wind wrapped around the feet of the five people.
Feeling her body lighten, Orange nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, Fujino. Kirie—get ready to meet the enemy!"
As if in response to Orange's words, a series of short bell sounds were heard in the castle, signaling an enemy attack.
After a few dozen seconds, the "dark clouds" covered the entire lake.
It was a group of familiars consisting of birds such as bats, crows, black eagles, etc. Due to their huge size and dense formation, they were described as "dark clouds".
Because of the special nature of the Dead Apostles, every Dead Apostle Castle with a long history has a considerable number of familiars, which are convenient for use and can also serve as the first barrier when the enemy attacks. It was precisely because of this barrier that Orange did not charge in directly.
"This number exceeds four digits. Hum, it's quite a lot."
"They are just a bunch of cannon fodder. No matter how many there are, they are not a threat. I don't know why you care about such things."
"You'll find out soon enough."
Lorelaia's disdain did not affect Orange's pace. She spoke to the girl standing at the front of the team.
"Wu Hui, this is the first wave of enemies you will deal with. Your performance will determine our next tactics. Don't let me down."
"Yes, Sister Orange!" Wujo Kirie nodded vigorously.
The next second, two bulges suddenly appeared in her black coat, which expanded at an alarming speed. Soon, the woolen fabric made a tearing sound under the heavy load and finally broke into pieces.
At this time, everyone also saw the true form of the two bags - they were a pair of metal wings with an aerodynamic design. Their simple shape reminded people of the wings of a fighter jet.
The faintly visible runes on the wings silently declared that this was not only a creation of science, but also a product of magic.
"Fighter Kirie, attack!"
Accompanied by lines full of the atmosphere of middle school, the "Fighter Man Kirie" soared into the sky and rushed into the dark cloud formed by the familiars at an exaggeratedly high speed.
The bird familiar's attack method is very monotonous, either scratching with claws or pecking with sharp beaks. However, such attacks can only damage Wu Hui's clothes at best, and cannot cause her any substantial harm.
Because what is wrapped under the clothes is not a flesh body at all, but a "metal body" that combines magic and technology - this is the new body that Orange made for Wu Hui, no, to be more precise, it is a new body made for the "dual existence". Wu Tiao Wu Hui's main body is resting at the Norwegian branch of the Magic Association, and it is her second existence that follows the crusade team.
The "dual existence" was originally a pure spiritual entity and could not interfere with matter, but with the help of Yustisa, she successfully mastered the method of materializing as a physical entity, which gave rise to various possibilities, one of which was the use of the "dual existence" to manipulate puppets that was now revealed.
"It's useless, useless, useless!"
Relying on her metal body, Wuhui controlled the fighter plane to weave back and forth among the flock of birds, and soon killed dozens of familiars. However, this was just a drop in the bucket compared to the entire "dark cloud".
While she was rushing forward, some of the fast familiars had already approached the location of Orange and the others.
"Sister Wuhui, stop playing and come back soon!"
"Stay away, they're mine!"
After hearing Fujino's reminder, Kirie, who was in high spirits, suddenly remembered her mission. She quickly put away her playful mentality and deployed the preset weapons in the doll.
The combat dolls carefully crafted by the "Grand" puppeteer Aozaki Touko naturally cannot have only the feature of "metal body". The display of her performance has just begun.
"Bullet Storm!"
At Wuhui's shout, the fighter flipped his hands upwards, and two six-barreled rotary machine guns popped out, and sharp bullets whizzed out at a rate of thirty to fifty rounds per second.
In just a few seconds, all the familiars between Wuhui and Orange were slaughtered - compared with magic, modern warfare weapons have a higher killing efficiency.
Having cleared his worries, the fighter turned around, and spit out a ten-meter-long flame and an increasingly metallic sound—"Flame Jet!"
Behind the flames, there are rays emitting from the eyes—"Destructive Death Ray!"
There was also lightning released from the hair—"Lightning!"
Fujino and Lorelaia were stunned by what they saw.
On the other side, Orange, who had successfully invaded the barrier, handed the rest of the work to Sakura, looked up at the fighter man who was killing everyone, and muttered quietly: "The puppet modified by Aoko MkII is quite effective, so let's call it MKIII. But why do you have to report your name before using the weapon? In order to achieve the effect of surprise, I also specially carved a spell to block magic power. What a waste."
Orange, who has no interest in the two-dimensional world, had no idea that in various anime, announcing one's name before making a move is a tradition of hot-blooded anime, and Wujo Kirie is the most staunch supporter of this tradition.
That’s right, Mujo Kirie is the first otaku trained by Shinji himself, although her hobby is traveling.
