Magical Girl with Demonic Time Magic-Chapter 91 - 15 Attempts

"Attempt number 15..." I mumble as I stand over Rena corpse, 15 attempts to achieve perfection in every movement, maybe killing myself so much wasn’t the best choice.

But I needed to test the variables, I realized one thing, if every time I come back the consequences change, what guarantees that if I don’t learn to use my power correctly, Ayane won’t suffer even more?

In short, if I don’t learn to use time travel correctly, in the future I may need to kill myself even more than necessary.

Basically, killing Rena, killing all the troublesome monsters, and finally fighting the pharmacist gave me information and abilities that will be the key to protecting Ayane in the future.

Besides, I feel a strange comfort in using time travel over and over like this, apart from the fact that with each return I tried something different, and now I’ve discovered a method to bathe my gun’s bullets in my obsession.

Finally, I discovered a definitive method to use that corrosive black liquid, and that’s why I even went back 3 unnecessary attempts because I had finally understood how to use it.

"...Seems right" I look at Rena body, all that’s left is her head, the rest was completely melted.

What I discovered was simple and straightforward, magic is directly linked to the will and feelings of the wielder themselves, this is something I already knew, but every moment I saw my power as something different and external coming from Hexael.

But I finally understand, I was wrong, my magic is just mine and not much different from magical girls, except for the general aspect of it, basically Hexael is the fuel that allows me to use magic.

However, the magic itself is generated by me, and as such its general properties are also controlled by me, and that’s where the point comes in, magical girls convert their dominant feeling into magic.

Like Ayane, who gains power based on determination, the more determined she is, the stronger she gets and the more magic she gains, and that’s where my power lies, all that black liquid is my magic generated by my obsession with Ayane.

And my obsession for her is so great that my magic simply leaks from my body in a completely liquid form, and this makes me wonder, within me I have so much magic, so what is it that really calls Hexael’s attention so much?

And why, even with so much hidden power inside my body, can’t I use it at will? What’s missing for me to have the freedom to use all this magic?

And how does Hexael know this? How does Hexael manage to see this hidden thing in me when no one else sees it? Traveling back in time so many times and discovering this made me think a lot.

And the more I think about it, the worse it gets, it seems that things are much deeper than I’d like to admit.

But with this I can already defeat the monster and even use my obsession more freely as a weapon.

Although it’s still not perfect, so I’ll need to train a lot, I sigh as I walk out the door carrying Rena head while killing all the monsters at specific points that are the ones that will get in the way.

Using Rena head, I unlock a specific door that has various chemicals, and among them I pick up a small bottle that I discovered in attempt number 13.

"Soon this will be over" My hatred has already diminished a little, now it’s more like a duty to eliminate these threats that could harm my sister in the future, this bottle I picked up is XSKL.

A new drug they’re developing that has the effect of amplifying magic, but obviously with a hidden trick, it slowly corrodes the part of the brain linked to general responses.

Basically, the more you drink it, the more stupid you get and the less able to think rationally, of course this is the general prototype version 0.8 as the Pharmacist said when we fought in this room and I accidentally broke it, he got really pissed off and with certain statements I got the information I wanted.

But the problem is not this, the problem is that the ones who will use it are not the monsters, they were planning to make magical girls drink it, using obedient vassals like Rena to take it to the base as a "miraculous potion" that would help them all get stronger.

And with that, the power would temporarily increase, but soon the good effects would wear off and the bad effects would remain, the pharmacist apparently is an important monster in the creation of drugs and killing him will shake the general structure of the monsters, which is great for me.

"But the original prototype alone won’t do, I need to ensure the complete destruction of this recipe" Without the pharmacist theoretically producing it, it’s impossible, but I have no way of knowing if there isn’t another monster with the power to mess with drugs and chemicals.

After finishing off the monsters, I walk to the location where the pharmacist is, with the sniper rifle ready to load a shot if necessary, not that it’s because I already know how to win and it won’t be with that shot.

As soon as I reach the door, I knock on it, waiting for him to speak, he just says to come in with an irritated tone as I open the door and go to the side, picking up his cell phone.

’What an idiot for not having a password’ I start dialing a number as he doesn’t even look at me, he’s so focused on mixing chemicals that as long as I don’t draw attention, he doesn’t look at me. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He really has an impressive calm and focus ability, though he’s arrogant to think that no one could come here as an enemy.

"Hello Ophelia? I need help, I was kidnapped and I’m at the enemy base right now, the location is near where Ayane defeated that monster alone with the team of 5 people, I need urgent help."

"It’s 5 blocks underground in..." I crush the cell phone before finishing speaking, pretending I was prevented while the pharmacist looks at me incredulously, stopping what he’s doing.

"I suggest not trying to press that button, filling the room with poison won’t work, how about we talk?" I say, knocking everything off a table to the floor and sitting on it while looking at him coldly.

"...That in your hand is mine" He says, raising his hands and backing away from the table he was on.

"Yes, I believe it’s your great pride, something that can greatly affect the magic production of girls and monsters, increasing it a lot temporarily."

"If I break this, it will be difficult since you’ll have to start all over again just with the basic production papers" I say as he looks to the side.

"I thought magical girls didn’t kill" He says, looking at the Rena head.

"...I made a promise to her, in fact I made the same promise about 10 times, I’ll deliver this head to Rena mother so she can say goodbye to her." I say coldly.

"That doesn’t answer what I said" He says, looking at the head, but specifically checking the neck wound, an abnormal corrosion damage that should catch his attention since it’s not from any normal chemical.

"You’re right, magical girls don’t kill other magical girls, but who said I killed her?" I say, looking at him coldly.

"...?"

"My weapon doesn’t cause these wounds, my magic doesn’t either, and there’s only her head, where’s the rest? Looks more like something a monster would do, right?" I make it clear and obvious that I’m blaming him.

"You’re cold, Rena said you two went on missions together, don’t you feel remorse for taking an innocent life?"

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, I didn’t take any innocent life, I just kill filthy vermin that threaten my beloved sister’s happiness" I say, pointing the rifle loaded at him.

A shot and it’s instant death, but instead of the magic-loaded bullet, it’s the obsession-loaded bullet, one shot and his whole body will quickly dissolve if it hits.

I decided to name this shot [Aya] since it comes from my obsession with Ayane, I believe it’s a good name, it’s not just Ayane who’s getting stronger.

"I want the original recipe you’re hiding in this room, now please get it for me?" I say with a fake smile, I’ve already killed him in 5 previous attempts, in 3 of them it was very difficult, but the others were easy because I learned to use my obsession as a weapon.

"..." He doesn’t say anything, but his gaze moves and I follow, finding a small strange spot on the wall below the table.

"That’s where it is, thank you for informing me" I say, shooting there, soon a relatively large black shot is fired from the sniper, corroding the table, the wall, a metal safe, and continuing forward, corroding everything and forming a large hole.

"YOU BITCH!" He runs at me and I don’t dodge, letting his punch hit me, my head shakes and my vision blurs as I’m thrown against the wall, breaking through it and falling into the hallway.

I spit blood on the floor, leaving forged evidence of a fight as I approach the hole, grab Rena head, and run with it, the reason I brought this with me is simple, to leave trails of blood.

As if Rena and I were escaping together, this place doesn’t have cameras outside of those used to record girls, so Ophelia and no one else will know what really happened.

The most obvious logic is that Rena and I fought together against the pharmacist and Rena was killed while I survived after an intense battle.

Running through the underground as the pharmacist angrily chases me behind the bottle, which is now the only possible evidence of the drug’s existence, I doubt he has a copy because having copies means the opportunity to steal business.

Soon we’re far away in the abandoned metro, completely alone.

"Tired of running, bitch? If you don’t hand over that bottle, I’ll make you wish for death" He threatens as he stops.

"..." However, the sniper in my hand is already fully loaded, it’s not as fast to load the [Aya] bullet, but with time running out I finished it, one shot is all it takes.

"Looks like you’re not very smart, I see having talent in chemistry didn’t give you good anger control, here" I throw the bottle to him, which lunges to catch it before it falls to the ground.

With a hissing sound, I fire, destroying the upper half of his body along with the bottle and opening a hole in the wall, the torso and head no longer exist as the rest collapses to the ground.

"Not even close..." The Black Hero was different, he was smart, he was powerful, he seemed invincible no matter how much I fought.

’It seems the intellectual capacity of each monster varies depending on how strong it really is’ The stronger the monster, the more intelligence it demonstrated, but in the end they are still monsters with limited control.

All that’s left are bodies that will soon disappear, and finally Rena head, which I will now take with me.

"The fate of a traitor is to be exposed in front of their relatives in the way the victim decides" I murmur this phrase that I don’t understand, it just comes to my head along with a slight headache.

’What does this phrase...mean?’ I feel there is some extra context as I look at Rena head.

"..."

"What is Hexael really hiding..." I wonder as I start walking, I’ll take Rena back to her home, the place she shouldn’t have left, I’ll fulfill the strange promise I made, even though I’m not sure why I made such a specific promise.
