Chapter 1808: Chapter 1223: Gimmick Boss (Why Pick It Yourself?)
As Ann and Aikute were communicating, the magic girls beside them were already dumbfounded.
However, when they saw that gigantic metal warship descend from the sky and launch an attack on the Night of the Witch, their expressions turned into Σ(⊙▽⊙”a.
Honestly, although they had speculated a lot about the Tribunal’s strength, everything they saw now was telling them— their thoughts were still too simplistic.
“Rumble!!!!!!!!”
Shells and beams ruthlessly bombarded the Night of the Witch, with earth-shattering roars and blast waves erupting, even causing the seawater to rapidly expand into a fierce tsunami that crashed into Kaname City’s dikes and flowed into the city center. Even the high-rise where they stood trembled under this relentless bombardment and impact, countless glass windows shattered, and ocean waves surged along the streets, just like the opening of an apocalyptic movie that left one in shock.
“Hiss—————-”
Homura Akemi also took a deep breath; although she had used many bombs and similar equipment, the Tribunal’s combat… far exceeded her expectations.
At the same time, Homura Akemi widened her eyes, focusing on the battlefield ahead.
With such overwhelming strength, could the Tribunal annihilate the Night of the Witch?
The answer soon appeared.
As the smoke cleared, the Night of the Witch appeared before everyone again, and this time it was no longer unscathed. On the contrary, its body was visibly full of tattered gaps, clearly indicating the Tribunal’s attack had caused significant damage to it.
However……
“Ahahaha, ahahahahaha……..!”
Accompanied by the ghastly laughter of the Night of the Witch, its body instantly returned to its original state, as if it hadn’t been harmed at all!
“How could this be……”
Seeing this, despair appeared on Homura Akemi’s face. Could even the Tribunal’s formidable combat power not defeat the Night of the Witch?
“Oh?”
In contrast to Homura Akemi, Duanmu Huai seemed very calm, merely raising an eyebrow.
“Continue the attack.”
“Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!”
As Duanmu Huai’s words fell, another round of attacks erupted, while he simply stood there with arms crossed. His thinking was straightforward; the problem of power was never a problem, so long as the power was sufficient, it would be enough to solve the Night of the Witch—he didn’t believe the opponent could withstand such a bombardment.
Round after round of bombardment had completely transformed the surroundings, surging seawater flooded the streets, turning Kaname City into a watery domain. The low houses beside were directly overturned and shattered by the explosive impact—luckily it was within the Witch’s Barrier, else who knows how many would’ve died.
After a few more rounds of bombardment, Duanmu Huai once again ordered the warship to cease fire, then looked forward. Smokey ruins were all that remained, the battered remains of the Night of the Witch’s half-body floated in the wind, appearing utterly destroyed.
But soon, the remains of the Night of the Witch suddenly swelled to several times their size, reverting to their original form.
“Ahahaha, ahahahah, ahahahahaha………..!”
“Hey? You’re still not done!”
Hearing the wild laughter of the Night of the Witch again, Duanmu Huai became even more irritated.
“Main cannon go!”
Under Duanmu Huai’s command, the warship slowly turned, aiming its bow at the Night of the Witch, then the BFG9000 main cannon illuminated with an emerald-green glow, transforming into a beam filled with infinite energy, shooting straight toward the Night of the Witch!
“———————!!”
The power was so immense that even the sea appeared to part like Moses with the great trench that formed under the beam’s influence. Not just that, but even the thick clouds in the sky were torn apart. The plasma beam roared through without any impediment, swallowing the Night of the Witch instantly and disappearing beyond the horizon.
“Hiss—————”
Seeing this, everyone present collectively took a cold breath, looking at Duanmu Huai and Ann in astonishment.
Now they truly understood just how terrifying the Tribunal was.
Especially Xitong Lingnao, although AAA was also an advanced technological force, it seemed like an antique from hundreds of years ago compared to the Tribunal’s warship!
Not to mention the power….. it was too frightening!
If they fired it at Kaname City, could anyone survive?
“Amazing…… It’s just like a sci-fi movie……!”
Meanwhile, Qianshu’s eyes were sparkling like stars as she excitedly watched the warship. She originally loved movies, and this scene was far more exciting than the most thrilling sci-fi film she had ever seen, how could she not like it?
Just as everyone’s thoughts were diverging, the beam dissipated, and the place where the Night of the Witch had been was now empty, clearly indicating that it had been completely annihilated……..
“Ahahaha, ahahah, ahahahahaha!!”
However, before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, that eerie laughter echoed again, and the Night of the Witch reappeared out of nowhere, swaying as if mocking their futility.
“Hey!?”
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai widened his eyes and then turned to Homura Akemi.
“You said Madoka Kaname eliminated this thing? Is that true?”
Duanmu Huai remembered clearly that Homura Akemi had told him that in a previous loop, she and Madoka Kaname joined forces to defeat and eliminate the Witch’s Night, after which Madoka Kaname became a witch due to excessive magic power consumption, which made Homura Akemi discover the truth.
But… Duanmu Huai said this wasn’t scientific, that Madoka Kaname, a little girl, could she even match the firepower of a warship of mine? What kind of international joke is this?
“I, I didn’t lie, Madoka Kaname indeed defeated the Witch’s Night at that time.”
“Why can’t we succeed no matter how we attack?”
Duanmu Huai couldn’t figure out what was going on? Meanwhile, Ann slightly frowned at this moment.
“I think it might be some kind of mechanism.”
“Mechanism?”
“Yes, I can feel it, the magic power fluctuations of the Witch’s Night are quite similar to those of you Magic Girls. Moreover, the Witch’s Night wasn’t untouched by damage just now, it regenerated after being harmed… meaning, perhaps only by using the strength of a Magic Girl can it be completely defeated, otherwise success is impossible.”
“So it’s like a vampire; it can only be killed with sunlight or a stake? Otherwise, it revives?”
Duanmu Huai understood Ann’s meaning as soon as he heard it.
“It probably is like that, perhaps that’s how Miss Madoka Kaname achieved victory…”
“It does make sense.”
Duanmu Huai squinted his eyes and nodded. After all, witches are transformed from Magic Girls, there might be some special connection between them that he hadn’t thought of. If that’s the case, then it does make sense that only Magic Girls can eliminate witches.
So…
“That’s really troublesome, then I’ll take over!”
Duanmu Huai gripped the War Hammer, waved his hand, after all, he is currently a Magic Girl as well, Duanmu Huai just couldn’t believe he couldn’t beat a Madoka Kaname?
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also clenched the War Hammer, tensed his body, and leaped towards the Witch’s Night!
“Ah hahaha, ah hahahaha—!!”
It was clear that the Witch’s Night wouldn’t just take a beating without fighting back, maybe it sensed some threat from the menacing Duanmu Huai, so just as Duanmu Huai charged at it, the Witch’s Night let out a chilling laugh, and then those once shattered buildings around, under the influence of an invisible force, flew up, crashing toward Duanmu Huai from all directions!
“Boom boom boom boom boom!!”
Meanwhile, the warship behind Duanmu Huai opened fire again, if it couldn’t take down the Witch’s Night, couldn’t it at least destroy this debris?
What a joke!
Under the cover of gunfire, the buildings flying towards Duanmu Huai were shattered into pieces, and Duanmu Huai’s momentum didn’t slow, directly rushing to the front of the Witch’s Night, raised the War Hammer high, and smashed it down on its annoying smiling face!
“Ah haha, ah hahahaha, aha——!”
This time, before the Witch’s Night’s laughter ended, it was hit in the mouth by Duanmu Huai’s hammer, then that giant body flew downwards to the ground, slamming heavily on the ground!!
“Boom!!!”
Though it was hard to tell from the air, on the ground, the Witch’s Night in front of them was about the size of a high-rise building, so this fall to the ground instantly created a huge crater.
“Die!!”
At the same time, Duanmu Huai also plummeted from the sky like a meteor, slamming into the body of the Witch’s Night along with his hammer, instantly splitting the body of the Witch’s Night in two!
“Ah haha, ah haha, ah haha……!”
By now, Duanmu Huai had already used the power of the God of Destruction. One strike scattered the body of the Witch’s Night again, yet even so, this eerie witch still emitted a piercing laugh, and at the same time, its body once again began to gradually restore itself!
“Hey, is this never-ending?”
Duanmu Huai frowned, he hated mechanism monsters the most, things that must fit a certain mechanism to be killed are the most annoying. Can’t it just be taken down directly?
“…Ann, do you have any ideas?”
Ultimately, Duanmu Huai decided to let an expert solve the problem.
He couldn’t solve it.
“This…”
At this point, Ann flew down from the top of a high building, landing beside Duanmu Huai. She stared at the Witch’s Night in front of her, then slightly frowned.
“Mr. Knight, it seems there is indeed a slight problem.”
“Hmm? What problem?”
“This thing seems…”
Ann paused here.
“It seems to be connected to the Magic Girl network…”
“…Huh?”
