Chapter 20: The Obsession of the Dark Pretty Cure

Fortunately, the distance between the coffee shop and the Station of Hope isn’t far. As the two carried the fairy and rushed to their destination, they saw the Snakies causing panic.

Identifying each other with a glance, the two immediately drew out the Heart Perfume to transform. Just then, a pure figure passed through the middle of them and charged ahead into the chaotic station!

“Bai… Lily!?” Neither of them expected to see an unexpected person here. Lei quickly shouted at the retreating back of Lily, “Lily, it’s dangerous ahead, come back!”

However, Lily had no time to spare forlei’s call; her heart was filled with fear and anxiety. At this moment, her only concern was something else.

She had to catch up, had to catch up—

had to catch up!

“Hmph.”

Seeing that her prey had been caught, the Dark Pretty Cure jumped down from a nearby street lamp and joined the fray.

Where? Where…?

Facing the incoming Snakies, Lily moved forward into a battle stance, precisely hitting the monsters’ hands before twisting their wrists and throwing them over her shoulder in standard self-defense moves.

With a grunt, she swept her slender right leg outward, sending the attacking Snakies flying like broken sacks.

“Amazing! It’s true?”

Lei and Erika, who had just transformed and were preparing to rescue Lily, were stunned by the high school girl’s attacks that flowed freely like no man could stop her.

Even if these Snakies were just grunts and could easily lift cars, there was never any report suggesting humans could battle them.

Before Lei and Erika became newbies, Moonlight Lily, who could continuously fight against the Desert Apostle on her own, proved her strength was no exaggeration.

“Not bad, Lily. My eyes weren’t wrong.”

Gazing at Lily’s cool demeanor, Ash couldn’t help but nod.

“There… ah, Mom!”

Eventually, Lily found her target; her mother held a seemingly lost child behind the newspaper stand, hiding from the Snakies. Although there were no Snakies where they were, she saw someone she absolutely didn’t want to face.

“Timons…”

Muttering the masked man’s name softly, even though he wasn’t wearing his Spider armor, those hidden eyes undoubtedly locked onto her.

There was no choice but to act openly; direct combat wouldn’t make sense either… What should I do?

Seeing Lily protect her frightened mother, she clenched her teeth, determined to throw herself at the risk, as there was no more time for hesitation!

“Lily!”

Jumping over him, Lily successfully positioned herself beside her mother.

“Mom, go this way, run quickly!”

“Alright, you hurry too, Lily!”

Showing them a path amidst the chaos, witnessing her mother escape with the child away from the station finally let Lily ease her worry.

Throughout, she kept a watchful eye on the masked man, but he merely returned a confusing smile and watched silently, not doing anything.

Why didn’t you stop Mother and me? Aren’t you part of the Desert Apostle?

“HeartCatch Pretty Cure!”

On the other side, co-operating together, Lei and Erika soon scattered the Snakies. Facing the Dark Pretty Cure walking towards Lily amidst the enemy, the two stopped her.

“Not so fast!”

“This time, we won’t lose as last time!”

Two Pretty Cures stood ready for battle with full force, yet the Dark Pretty Cure ignored them, knowing that drawing attention from Snakies wasn’t the plan to lead them out.

After several exchanges, she pushed the two away. With her right hand lifting, the red energy condensed in her palm blew Lei and Erika away, pinning them securely to the ground with formidable strength.

“Now there’s no hindrance.”

Continuing to focus only on one person, she stepped closer to Moonlight Lily.

“Quite amazing.”

Looking at the two who couldn’t stand after being knocked down, even Ash felt astounded. The Desert Apostle, recognized as the strongest among them, seemed more formidable than many final villains he had faced, leaving him no match for her current self.

As she passed by, she gave him a cold look, tossing the Shadowmoon toy at him.

“Don’t intervene.”

“Fine fine, have fun.”

Upon hearing this, Ash raised his hands, seemingly withdrawing from the battle, yet secretly prepared to watch the spectacle.

A vibration within reminded him to halt. Taking out the Timons Driver, he saw the demon expressing dissatisfaction via emoticons.

“Boss, what now! Seeing how she acts, she must have a grudge with Lily; she will kill her!”

Without knowing the reason, the demon “Kayin” in his heart, unlike others of its kind in Levistus world, had no physical form but manifested through the Timons Driver, expressing anxious opinions when confronting such scenes.

Yet, Ash paid it no mind.

“I guess you’re still too young.”

You must build greater confidence in the heroes.

Faced with the emergence of the Dark Pretty Cure, recalling the devastating scene earlier, shrugging off her shock, Lily drew out her remaining half Heart Seed and braced for defense. The next instant, her opponent’s iron fist struck against her prepared arm.

“Why—why must you persist relentlessly?”

Despite having some strength left in her defense, she felt deeply uneasy currently.

“In the end, between light and shadow, there can be only one of us!”

And disappear, you!

“That fairy’s already heading to Hell—use your body as the foundation for the pathway of the Desert Apostles!”

“Damn it!”

Kicking Lily away, the girl behind her cried in pain as her remaining energy failed to shield her.

Lei and Erika continued struggling, while half-kneeling, Lily gazed with unwilling eyes.

If I die here, what about Mom? She has already lost Dad and hasn’t seen the end of the Desert Apostle…. Kuron, what should I do? Tell me, please, what should I do?
