Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity
Chapter 287: Magical Girl, Clan’s Guardian Artifact Stolen at the Start
The news of Sir and Shion's breakup caused quite a stir. Sometimes White Fox wondered if it was because of her, because back in the world bubble, she had attacked Miss Shion, leading to the complete rupture of their relationship... If that was the case, White Fox would probably feel a little sorry. In the end, Sir had rescued her from the world bubble, which must have caused another argument with Miss Shion. Teaching an enemy to kill oneself—such a thing would be unbearable not just for a romantic couple, but even for ordinary friends.
Sometimes, she fantasized: in Teacher's heart, was she perhaps a little more important than Miss Shion? Or perhaps Teacher himself had grown tired of Miss Shion, so he chose her and broke up with Miss Shion. The reasons behind it were naturally beyond White Fox's understanding. She just remembered that back then, Sir had not denied the possibility of her being his girlfriend.
White Fox didn't really think Teacher had fallen in love with her at first sight. She just thought Teacher might consider her a decent substitute, as a girlfriend. After all, White Fox's appearance was fairly decent... Sometimes, reading too many web novels gave rise to many such unnecessary thoughts.
She really liked the type of female character in novels who followed the protagonist, never saying "no," never drawing attention. That kind of quiet, seemingly fixed-for-a-lifetime person who didn't need to think. It always made her feel a little envious. If she could be like them, not needing to think, just following Sir, letting Sir make decisions for her, that would be nice. If she could become a manipulated puppet, wouldn't that be a very happy thing? Though White Fox herself couldn't truly understand the feeling of her own happiness.
And reality always developed contrary to wishes. Before Sir was wanted by the Azure Cloud Sect, even before the Azure Cloud Sect's true-transmission disciples came looking for him, he had sent her back to her old home in the old world. "I heard the Black Mountain Realm seems to be having some trouble. Go back and take a look." "I haven't taught you much. Some things you need to comprehend yourself in battle." "You'd better think about what you really want to do, and the things I told you before." "If you can't figure it out, then stay in the Black Mountain Realm and don't come out."
To take revenge for Mother. That was all she wanted to do. She didn't want to think about more. Why did Sir always force her to think? Just give the orders. White Fox, once she received orders, would definitely do well... Perhaps it was because of Shion, harboring resentment towards her, or perhaps some other reason, feeling disappointed in her. It wasn't the first time Sir had abandoned her. White Fox understood this was just one of the tests. If she couldn't pass the test, if she couldn't satisfy Sir, everything would end. She never doubted that. It was an exam with only one chance. Sir really liked exam-oriented education.
Originally, she had no emotions. Because she had no emotions, the Disaster Beast parasitizing her body couldn't grow, and it was even difficult to produce Polluted Magic. Along with feeling anger, hatred, panic, unease, and resentment from Sir, she became increasingly sensitive to negative emotions. Like the current anxiety.
"Huh? White Fox? Why are you back?" The moment she stepped into the small town she once lived in, someone immediately recognized her. The small town was still fairly lively—almost everyone from the entire Black Mountain Realm had gathered here. Quite a few people came over as if to watch a spectacle, then sized up White Fox, whispering among themselves. "She doesn't seem to have changed much?" "Didn't they say she went to the Mirror Kingdom to seek help?" "Did she just run to the Mirror Kingdom to save herself? Did she really have us in mind?" "Sigh, how did Jade Fox Celestial choose such a successor..." "Maybe she really found a way to save the Black Mountain Realm?" "Don't dream."
Not many people came close. In fact, they really weren't very familiar. When Jade Fox Mother was still around, she hardly ever interacted with these people. Jade Fox was always careful to keep her away from malicious gossip. If possible, try your best to save the Black Mountain Realm. If you can't, living your own life well is also fine. Mother has done enough for the Black Mountain Realm, so you don't need to feel burdened. Go choose the life you want. She was Mother's only selfish desire. A mother who dedicated her entire life to the Black Mountain Realm only considered her future, not the Black Mountain Realm's. Precisely because of this, she had to...
"White Fox." Someone spoke. She looked up. A sturdy young man gazed at her with a cold, stern expression. "Did you retrieve Jade Fox Lord's legacy?" Jade Fox Mother's Full Bloom power must have left some remnants. That was also the Black Mountain Realm's only hope. "No."
After this reply, the people of the Black Mountain Realm let out a sigh of despair, followed by angry gazes converging on her. "We gave you the chance to go out! Did you really work hard for the Black Mountain Realm!" But in reality, that was just the Mirror Kingdom spatial gate Mother left behind for her to leave the Black Mountain Realm. "How much more do you want to disappoint Jade Fox Lord!" To take revenge for Mother, and at the cost of assassinating Shion, get the Mirror Kingdom to accept the Black Mountain Realm. As long as she did this, the Prince was willing to accept the Black Mountain Realm. The chance for revenge for Mother and saving the Black Mountain Realm were placed together. That made things much simpler and easier. "Hand over the spatial gate!"
The young man roared as he walked over. When his hand was about to grab her shoulder, Blue Silver Grass grew wildly, tightly entangling the young man's arm. And the young man's arm, with its rough, muscular, even somewhat Disaster Beast-transformed appearance, was completely immobilized under the Blue Silver Grass's entanglement! The Black Mountain Realm people who had been pointing and commenting on White Fox fell silent. Before White Fox left, she was far from a match for this young man. She had vast amounts of mana but couldn't transform into a Magical Girl, nor could she utilize dregs' polluted magic. The Black Mountain Realm's only method was to continuously implant Disaster Beast parts into their own bodies, just like the disaster-human realm. That was every old world's final choice at its end.
The Disaster Beast parts and strength each Black Mountain Realm person could bear were fixed—in the dead old world, there was no power of emotion, no miracles. Even despair couldn't produce the negative emotions needed to nourish the Disaster Beasts within. There was only endless dregs. The Blue Silver Grass in White Fox's hands was undoubtedly the Black Mountain Realm's trashiest Disaster Beast, found everywhere on the roadside. And unlike Bai San from Battle Demon, she was pure Blue Silver Grass, not Blue Silver Emperor, with no possibility or potential whatsoever. But now, the trashiest Blue Silver Grass tightly controlled the arm of the Black Mountain Realm's strongest person. For a moment, it silenced everyone in this entire old world.
Surveying the shocked and incredulous gazes around her, and the young man before her transitioning from furious rage to gradually fearful, what should she do next? White Fox subconsciously touched her phone, wanting to read another page of Battle Demon Continent. So this was the reason Sir always made her study Bai San? For her, that was documentary prophetic literature...
In the town's silence, a small tremor jolted from the ground. At first, it wasn't obvious, and everyone's focus was still on White Fox. Until the tremors grew larger, accompanied by the roars of Disaster Beasts. Looking up, a dark, swarming mass of beasts surged down from the mountains! "The Disaster Beast horde is coming down the mountain!"
The young man immediately tugged at her Blue Silver Grass. "Vanguard team, assemble!" White Fox released the Blue Silver Grass, watching as the young man led a group of people to deploy the magical barrier surrounding the town. This was the final legacy Jade Fox left for the Black Mountain Realm. However, looking at the beast horde like a natural disaster tsunami, the magical barrier appeared fragile and insignificant. The beast horde crashed against the magical barrier like waves. Just the first wave caused the entire barrier to shake and crack. The young man, the Black Mountain Realm's strongest, had a face ashen with fear. His Disaster Beast-fused arm trembled uncontrollably.
Team members kept shouting, "No! This scale is wrong! Why are there so many!" Others noticed the problem, "They've all evolved into class B Disaster Beasts?" The civilians behind cried out, "What do we do? It's about to break!" "Van... vanguard team." Fear slightly distorted the voice of the young man confronting White Fox. He trembled slightly. "Follow me out to reduce the horde's impact!" However, everyone's feet felt incredibly heavy, as if glued down, making movement difficult. Looking up, ferocious-faced Disaster Beasts continuously gnawed at the magical barrier, baring their teeth at them, drooling and roaring. Once they left the barrier, the consequences went without saying.
"There's... there's no point, Captain..." One team member spoke in a voice on the verge of tears. "We're going to die anyway. Staying in the barrier a little longer is okay, right?" The entire Black Mountain Realm crowd fell into dead silence, with soft sobs mixed with heavy, chaotic breathing. No one spoke, no one moved. Everyone stood in place like wooden stakes, staring at the dark sky and ground. Oppressive and despairing.
"Who's that?" Someone suddenly asked. Then everyone noticed. White Fox had just walked out of the magical barrier. This episode, the book taught it. "What is she... going to do?"
They saw Blue Silver Grass begin to grow wildly from her body. Soon, it spread across the sky and earth, almost covering the entire magical barrier! And among the horde of Disaster Beasts, the Blue Silver Grass spread like a plague, rapidly growing and spreading. In just a few breaths, the seemingly unstoppable Disaster Beast wave stagnated. Transformed into an ocean of Blue Silver Grass, gently swaying in the wind. White Fox, pale-faced, looked at the Disaster Beasts continuing to surge from further away. Sir must have foreseen it, the disaster the Black Mountain Realm was about to face. So he sent her back to deal with it... Utilizing the techniques learned from Battle Demon Continent, utilizing the negative emotions Sir made her learn. The Blue Silver Grass continuously expanded, parasitizing the Disaster Beasts while absorbing more Polluted Magic, turning it into its own nourishment and power, constantly spreading.
If this was a test Sir prepared, then it meant her power was sufficient to handle it... At first, White Fox thought so. When the Blue Silver Grass, covering the sky and wilderness, extended all the way into the Black Mountain Range, solidifying the spread and impact of the Disaster Beast wave, she didn't know how long it took. When everything became quiet again, White Fox heard piercing cheers and shouts. Looking down, the previously dead-silent Black Mountain Realm crowd became lively again.
She truly couldn't understand. She looked at the cheering Black Mountain Realm crowd like she was looking at that Ji family—from another author's "Ji Family Cultivation." Tremblingly continuing the family, yet without a clan-suppressing magical artifact, whether the Ji family perished depended solely on the whim of those above. Raise your head three feet, and there's the Purple Mansion; three feet above that, there's Shion. Ji Tongya fought his way out of a certain-death situation, continuing to support his family; and her blocking the Disaster Beast wave here, extending the Black Mountain Realm's life—what was the difference, really? An immediate execution turned into a suspended death sentence...
Until the next second, the Black Mountain Realm crowd abruptly fell silent again. White Fox was slightly stunned. When she turned her head, a monkey's furry head appeared at an extremely close distance. The Blue Silver Grass withered. At an unbelievable speed, all the Blue Silver Grass withered, decayed, turned into fragments flying about, filling the Black Mountain Realm's sky with withered yellow! Immediately after, she barely saw that monkey raise its foot. The Blue Silver Grass instantly entangled it, but it was useless. Intense pain came from her stomach. The feeling of her internal organs being pierced made blood continuously gush from her mouth. Her body—in a line invisible to the naked eye—shot through the magical barrier, crashing into a house in the town! Half the town's houses instantly collapsed, sinking into a crater resembling hell.
After a moment of dead silence, the crowd began frantically running and screaming towards the rear! Flesh and blood splattered as the Disaster Beast horde began flooding into the town, soaking every corner. Hazily, White Fox crawled out from the rubble. Quite a few people had already fled to positions further back, but some in the front couldn't escape in time and were submerged by Disaster Beasts. One arm broken, a large hole punched through her stomach, intestines and organs spilling out. White Fox grabbed the intestines and organs, stuffed them back into her stomach, and used Blue Silver Grass to plug the wound. She didn't feel any anger, fear, or unwillingness. She looked up at that monkey. An A-level Disaster Beast. So, this was the reincarnated Maha. Probably Sir sensed that an A-level Maha had been born in the Black Mountain Realm, which was why he sent her back. But, Sir. I've disappointed you. White Fox wasn't the Heavy Sea Whale Dragon, without a clan-suppressing magical artifact, without the power to defeat an A-level Maha. Just a tiny blade of grass.
The little grass slowly crawled out of the deep crater. Fingers clawing at the hard soil, nails splitting. The feeling of unfixed intestines and organs swaying in her stomach was somewhat heavy. Blood continuously gushed from her mouth, wounds all over her body bleeding profusely. White Fox was just a little surprised she had so much blood. As if it would never run out. When she crawled out of the crater, she tried her best to tug at the little girl crying beside her. A Disaster Beast's sharp claw swept past overhead. Smashing into the ground, she used Blue Silver Grass to trap the Disaster Beast. But immediately, another Disaster Beast crashed into her. Sending her flying, tumbling. The Blue Silver Grass on her stomach tore open, some intestines spilling out. But she still tried her best to use Blue Silver Grass to grab the flying child, dragging her close, avoiding the Disaster Beast's attack. When she was somewhat exhausted, a Disaster Beast fell from the sky, crashing towards her head! For a moment, White Fox wanted to give up, because she was very tired, and her strength was dwindling. Having done this much was probably enough.
"Listen, White Fox. Fighting with the mindset that it's okay to die, and fighting desperately even if you have to die, are two different things." But, for some reason, Sir's words still echoed in her mind. "Whether you want to waste your life away, or place your life on the gambling table to fight for an impossible miracle, determines how far you can go in the future." But Sir, I don't understand... In the tumbling, the impact sent her flying. Holding the crying little girl, her head smashed against a rock. Blood instantly blurred her vision. "I look forward to your possibilities." Completely... impossible, Sir. Fighting desperately to read Battle Demon Continent or something... Because. It's really... So boring. White Fox simply couldn't live up to your expectations. She really wanted to ask Sir, what meaning was there in what she was doing? Struggling to get up from the pool of blood, looking at the crowd in the distance, pushing the child, telling her to go over.
Turning back, Blue Silver Grass grew again. Tough, inconspicuous yet forever growing Blue Silver Grass entangled the Disaster Beast horde about to charge over. She looked at the crowd showing relief and joy for surviving this moment, feeling somewhat confused and puzzled. Even if she succeeded now, what meaning did it have? Because soon after, they would die. The Black Mountain Realm would die like the Ji family. The old world would end abruptly like "Ji Family Cultivation," stopping at "dare not hate," with no future. So, dying was okay, right? The Maha monkey landed again. The massive impact interrupted her thoughts. The surrounding Disaster Beasts and White Fox were sent flying together. When she hit the ground, she should have died. Would Sir be sad? Or would he be angry? I'm sorry, Sir. Actually, the one I finished reading was "Ji Family Cultivation: Starting as the Clan-Suppressing Magical Artifact."
Vision blurry and swaying, the girl closing her eyes wanted to lie down forever. "Get up, White Fox." An unfamiliar yet familiar voice came, gently caressing her cheek. So she still opened her eyes. More and more Disaster Beasts charged towards the crowd. The Black Mountain Realm people huddled together, trembling. Every person's expression was incredibly clear in her eyes. She saw Mother walking over. So, dragging her barely controllable body, White Fox walked over. That monkey squatted on a rock, its pitch-black pupils revealing cruel and playful expressions. White Fox, having just approached, was sent flying by a tail swipe. Screams erupted from the crowd. The Disaster Beast horde paused, watching the corpse like the monkey.
Staggering to her feet, White Fox could no longer see the Disaster Beasts or the crowd. She could only see Mother in the distance, calling to her figure. So, walking over again, another Disaster Beast crashed into her, breaking her leg this time. Even the crowd, originally crying and shouting from fear and despair, fell silent. The Disaster Beasts also stopped moving, tilting their heads in confusion, looking at the girl stubbornly standing up again. Limping, dragging her broken right leg, clutching her intestines and organs, covered in blood, she walked out from the nearby rubble. Everyone, every Disaster Beast, watched the blood-covered corpse that should have long been unable to get up and die. Step by step, she walked over, standing in front of everyone. Flesh mangled, intestines wrapped around her own neck, sticky blood trails lengthened, the other end of the intestines stepped underfoot, as if pulling her own body to keep from falling. Standing before the crowd, even if she seemed like she might be blown over by the wind at any moment, she gave the Black Mountain Realm people an unparalleled sense of security.
After a moment of silence, the monkey let out an angry and irritated screech! The previously paused Disaster Beasts grew restless! "Mom." White Fox murmured, looking at the Disaster Beasts baring their fangs and claws pouncing towards her, and let go. Intestines and organs spilled out with a splash along with blood. She used her blood-stained fingers to press against the corner of her mouth, pulling it into a bloody, cute smile. Towards the Mother she saw. "It's like this, right?" "Living in the present is enough." "So." Wait for me.
Amidst the chaotic roars, cries, and screams, White Fox hugged the Disaster Beast biting her shoulder, fingers digging into the Disaster Beast's flesh. Because she learned to feel and generate negative emotions. Correspondingly, positive emotions also became possible in her heart. This was originally something absolutely impossible for people of the old world. No matter how intense the emotions of old world people, they could only produce dregs until death. But now, that soaring, fervent, pure-as-fire hope and urgency in White Fox's heart! Burned all dregs to ashes! White Fox ran continuously in the flames, chasing, hearing Mother's voice. "Try again. Fight to live." "Even if there's no tomorrow!" So, she finally caught up to Mother, grabbing her hand.
Violent green mana exploded from her body like crazy! The miracle that had never responded to her, the miracle she never expected to be born, after placing her life on the gambling table, going all-in with no retreat, slowly tightened in her hand! White Fox opened her palm, gazing entranced at the green Miracle Seed in her hand. The first seed produced in the old world. A miracle belonging only to her. The monkey leaped up, crashing towards White Fox again! "Breaking through the earth, reborn, brilliant as a thousand suns." "Transformation."
Time stagnated in that instant. Green mana swallowed all the surrounding Disaster Beasts! Countless branches, vines, and plants, carrying all the surrounding Disaster Beasts, transformed into a dense forest! A complex-patterned grass-green long dress, a butterfly-like hair accessory headband scattered bits of starlight, following black hair strands, falling into hollow eyes, dotted with a hint of cherry color. "Jade Fox Lord..." From the Black Mountain Realm crowd below came somewhat bewildered cries. Then someone immediately reacted, "It's not Jade Fox Lord! It's White Fox transforming into a Magical Girl!" "The Black Mountain Realm has a Magical Girl again!" "The Black Mountain Realm is saved again!" "She's our Magical Girl!" All kinds of worship, expectation, admiration, yearning—the emotions Mother bore from the Black Mountain Realm—all fell upon her.
"Be careful, White Fox Celestial!" Someone shouted loudly. White Fox expressionlessly tilted her head to look. The dense Disaster Beasts all turned into green plants, but only that A-level Disaster Beast monkey was still struggling, pouncing towards her! However, White Fox didn't move at all, just slightly tilted her head, fingers sliding downward. Blue Silver Thrust Array. Thousands upon thousands of tree roots and vines covered the sky and earth, leaving no space for escape! Layer upon layer entangled the struggling monkey, trapping it within. Different plant roots grew and pierced through the monkey's body, its head, fixing it firmly! Picking up her Magic Wand, about to deliver the final blow.
Pitch-black mana threads tore through the sky, descending from above, fiercely piercing through the monkey's body from head to toe, nailing it firmly to the ground! White Fox was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked up. "White Fox, come back." So the Black Mountain Realm people below, looking up expectantly at White Fox, saw the girl who usually showed absolutely no emotion or expression, her expression slightly melting, with a soft smile like an ordinary girl. Just like that, she abandoned the Black Mountain Realm, flying up towards the sky. "White Fox Celestial!" "White Fox!" "Don't go! The Black Mountain Realm needs you!" No matter how they called, the Magical Girl belonging to the Black Mountain Realm showed no intention of turning back.
"Sir." She left the Black Mountain Realm, entering the spatial turbulence, calling out with a hint of anticipation. After transforming into a Magical Girl, the emotions she didn't understand before, the hidden emotions, surged up. Even in the cold spatial turbulence, White Fox felt a bit of burning heat and anxiety. When she saw Sir, the melting smile on White Fox's face gradually widened. But then, someone hooked Sir's arm, walking out from behind. "As expected of my Mirror Queen's husband." The white-haired, red-eyed girl proudly and appreciatively sized her up. "You actually cultivated a Magical Girl from the old world!" The words she wanted to pour out, the passion almost bursting forth, cooled down in an instant. "I agree, White Fox, as the third candidate for the Full Bloom Plan."
