Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Chapter 166: Witch Black Rose X Black Wukong X Mr. Ninja_2

The girl, perched high above, wore an ironic smile on her face cloaked in moonlight. The dark red hem of her dress fluttered in the night wind, splashing the scene with a terrifying beauty.

The thick thorns that had burst from the ground were slowly growing, nearly spreading across the entire street: some rooted in the insides of shops, others pierced through the screens of electronic signs, and some completely encased billboards.

In front of the girl stood three figures clad in superhero costumes.

Bai Yi folded his wings and approached Blue Owl, “Are you alright?!”

Blue Owl, clutching his chest where a couple of ribs were nearly broken, groaned and said calmly, “I’m fine.”

The nun spoke rapidly, “Don’t be reckless, we just need to hold out until the higher-level heroes arrive for backup. This opponent is strong, and we’re not a match for her at the moment.”

Blue Owl slightly bent down on one knee, lifted his head, and his narrowed pupils reflected the superhuman information panel of the enchanting figure in the air.

He had planned to go out with Bai Yi and Telekinesis Nun to observe the routine patrol routes of this superhero squad, so as to prepare for future work needs.

But as fate would have it, they encountered such a formidable figure on the way.

[Code Name: Witch Black Rose]

[Real Name: He Yinlu]

[Danger Level: A-Class]

[Character Introduction: A Witch, that is, a fallen Magic Girl, who grows stronger by hunting Contracted Beasts and devouring the Comet Fragments within them, but at the same time gradually loses her humanity.

Witch Black Rose is among the best of the Witches, a high-ranking member of the Witch Church “Babel Tower.” However, a month ago, she left the church to come to Huanjing alone to seek vengeance against her old friend “Magical Girl Ash.”]

“Wait a minute, she and Bai Zini were old friends? Old friends…”

Blue Owl blanked out for half a second, thinking.

“Bai Zini hardly mentioned having any friends, but she did say that she used to play with two Contracted Magic Girls who were very close to her, yet they both died at the hands of the supervillain Ghosthand Buddha.”

“Damn, could it be that Witch Black Rose was one of the Magic Girls and she had actually faked her death back then?”

“I’ll find some time after I get back to confirm this. Such incidents are usually recorded in official reports; I’ll check if the names of the two Magic Girls who died then match up with this Witch.”

As he was contemplating, Witch Black Rose tilted her head, and from the throne of intertwined thorns, she lifted her magic wand imbued with a strange beauty.

As the jewel on the wand started to glow from the cracks, a childlike chant, reminiscent of a silver bell, rose from all directions, echoing through the streets like a persistent breeze.

Suddenly, countless sturdy thorns burst from the ground, ensnaring Telekinesis Nun, Bai Yi, and Blue Owl, who were fleeing.

Her abilities were similar to those of the Divine Communicator “Ghost Tree.” Like him, she controlled thorns, but Witch Black Rose was clearly more precise in her control, unlike Ghost Tree, who specialized only in altering his own body.

The thorns appeared massive and robust, but they moved with alarming speed, slithering across the ground like pythons, quickly capturing the trio.

In the face of an A-Class superhuman, even Bai Yi, who prided himself on his speed and agility, had to admit defeat.

This was a naked display of power overwhelming. If one’s average ability score was 500, and yours only 100, even their weakest attribute would be enough to surpass your strongest one.

Bai Yi frantically stretched his wings in midair, but the sharp ends of the thorns pierced into his two pairs of wings, immobilizing him in the air like prey caught in a spider’s web.

Amid the bloodshed, he let out a pained roar. The thorns delved deeper, wrapping around his wings as if a wild beast born from the jungle was slowly devouring a pure white dove.

With his arms bound by the thorns and stretched out to the sides, Blue Owl knelt on the ground and slowly raised his eyes to Witch Black Rose: “Who exactly are you?”

“A specter,” Black Rose stated, “a specter… longing to see an old friend.”

No sooner had she spoken than her expression changed, and she looked up into the night sky.

In that moment, a figure clad in a silver and black metallic trench coat descended from the sky with a dark golden staff in hand, smashing towards her head and creating a foul wind in its wake.

Witch Black Rose’s expression darkened, and the throne of thorns beneath her instantly transformed into over a dozen upward-stretching spear-like thorns, pierce at the unwelcome visitor with unstoppable momentum.

If the newcomer maintained their original posture of attack, they would be impaled by the dozen spear-like thorns in an instant.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, the person from the sky stopped the descent of the dark staff and hoisted the Jingu Bang fiercely, its cold iron whispering through the air.

The next moment, a torrent of crimson flames gushed from the five fingers of her right hand, coursing towards both ends of the Jingu Bang.

Instantly, the Jingu Bang blazed with an unprecedented brilliance, vibrating violently and humming as if a freed demon.

Black Wukong used both hands to twist rapidly in midair, spinning the Jingu Bang, which swept around like a phantasm.

Then the crimson flames clinging to the staff roared forth like a tornado of fireworks, smashing into the oncoming thorns and shattering them in an instant.
