Chapter 478

Chapter 213 Battlefield on Both Sides • Wuki

With courage, Lei faced her old opponent “Scorpion Lena,” who she first encountered when transforming. Before Erika stood “Spider Gaki,” who pulled out his saber with evident fighting intent. Cobra Saga faced Wuki, spreading his business cards to cover his face.

No chaotic battle ensued; everyone chose their opponents and separated the battlefield for their “final battles.”

“Hmph, I didn’t expect this.” The dark power from Lord Doon surged within Scorpion Lena. Lei covered her front with her arm, silently resisting the pressure. “When we first met, you ran away in fear as a little girl. Now you’ve grown into a Pretty Cure standing before us. Though I am your opponent, let me commend you.”

“The journey with companions has transformed my body and heart, making every effort worthwhile.” Taking out the bud magic wand from her chest ornament, the crystal wheel emitted a crisp sound as it hit her palm. “Even if the timid part of me still occasionally surfaces when I feel lonely, I take pride in being [CureBlossom]!”

“Thus, you are indeed a perfect opponent!” Scorpion’s tail pierced toward Lei, but Lei, who had been eyeing her closely, dodged the attack by lowering her waist. “As a major officer of the Desert Apostle, let me see how much the traitor has trained you!”

Timons always liked to go out with me, claiming he would teach the Pretty Cure a lesson, snatching credit. Despite his good voice, he is an unpleasant character I can’t stand.

But there’s no help for it; he seems to prefer you more. Now, let’s verify whether I, the major officer, or you, the ‘weakest’ Pretty Cure, deserve more anticipation!

“Come on, CureBlossom!”

“Cifrey, how are you faring?”

“Of course! Let’s take down the Desert Apostle all at once!” Hearing her cape respond, Lei smiled as more pink light radiated from her core, fueling her strength.

“Onward!”

——Battlefield Division Line——

“Ahh—”

Wuki’s chop sliced through the air cleanly, aiming to cut down Cobra Saga. However, that blue-haired man moved with such grace, like a dance, completely evading her attacks.

So fast! The power and pressure are on an entirely different level compared to before!

“Can you feel the beauty in battle?”

The sudden voice from behind made Wuki break into cold sweat. Spinning on her heel and pulling her long leg back with force, she was stopped by Cobra Saga’s single hand.

“It looks like you can’t.”

Wuki’s eyes widened in shock as she saw his luminescent palm pressing against her abdomen.

SunflowerAegis!

The hastily released sunflower shield shattered instantly. Wuki was pushed back with force, her pure white battle clothing now stained black from the prolonged battle.

“Huff—huff—” Even a seasoned fighter, enduring combat from dusk till night, had greatly exhausted her. Her messy hair and breathing indicated this.

Given Cobra Saga’s pursuit of beauty, he naturally noticed this.

Wuki’s disheveled appearance, no longer resembling the dazzling twin-tailed少女, displeased him.

“What a grotesque sight, CureSunshine. But don’t worry; let the beautiful me deliver a beautiful death to you.”

“Saying ‘beauty’ all the time—how much less beautiful you are!”

At this critical moment of regulation for Wuki’s breathing, her partner, the sprite Popuri, flew out from her cape and stood in front of her, berating the man.

“Futile, sprites can’t comprehend true beauty.”

“The superficial beauty is partly innate!” Facing the vain man who teased his hair, Popuri fearlessly poured out a pure heart declaration. “The beautiful, sunny heart always striving to protect everyone is what Popuri sees as true beauty! The inner beauty cultivated by personal integrity surpasses any external beauty.”

Just like Wuki’s iconic shield determines her strength, how could a Desert Apostle compare to my Wuki!

“I have no interest in others’ hearts!”

Feeling somewhat provoked, the man threw all his cards infused with Lord Doon’s power. Seeing the explosion enveloping the area around Wuki in flames and dust, Cobra Saga’s lips curved upwards in a smile.

“It seems your inner beauty cannot overcome my real beauty. Goodbye, CureSunshi—What?!”

A massive sunflower shield emerged from the smoke, revealing its figure. Indeed, relying solely on Lei’s defense was insufficient, so the multiple layers of shields formed by Lei and Popuri deflected his attack.

“No matter how ugly I become, it doesn’t matter.”

Those words were spoken by someone else, but Lei understood that this notion of beauty was entirely different from Snake Cobra’s.

All she wished was to protect everyone and guard radiant smiles with her heart and power.

Shining tambourine raised by two fingers, golden lights from her back spread golden glow forming a barrier enveloping herself and the opponent. Sunflowers turned the entire world into a brilliant sun.

“Is this how you perceive the world—the battle fought for others—even though your movements are a mess?”

Facing the sunlight in front of him, even as an adversary, Cobra Saga felt momentarily stunned.

That Timons used to say he too was pursuing “beauty.” That time, she did not understand his meaning, but now!

Is this the beauty you sought?

Indeed, it is… so beautiful…

“Perhaps your words could move Lord Doon—but!”

Unleashing all his dark powers, Cobra Saga threw his beautifully crafted card imbued with his strength towards Wuki.

“Can the beauty of one’s heart translate into actual power to defeat me?!”

Spinning the locket adorned with tambourines in his hand, the golden mirror in the center reflected the increasingly “unbeautiful” Cobra Saga.

“Let my light illuminate the darkness within you!”

“Flowers, dance!”

“Precious Cure Gold Forte Burst (Gorgeous Pretty Cure Golden Harmony Blast)!”

Golden light illuminated the dark universe thoroughly.
