Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 23 The Mystery of the Heretic
Xiaobai's name has been decided so hastily. Although she is very resistant to this name, neither Tang Zijun nor Tang Cao has any intention of changing it.

In fact, Tang Zijun had no objection to letting Xiaobai, the spirit beast, live in his home.

Instead of letting her stay outside and disappear with her sister all the time, it is better to let her stay under my nose. This way, it will be easier for me to monitor their actions.

It was one thing to agree with her sister being a magical girl, but it was another to approve of her becoming a magical girl.

Although Tang Cao's performance in her first battle was remarkable and she seemed to have good fighting talent, her fighting style was still too immature for the battle-hardened Tang Zijun.

Tang Cao's advantage is that she is good at planning. During the battle, she can often judge the opponent's next move very well, just like playing chess, calculating the opponent's strategy and preparing in advance.

But this also exposed her shortcomings, that is, Tang Cao is only good at facing the current environment. When plans change or unexpected things happen, Tang Cao will often start to make trouble.

This also proves that Tang Cao's ability to adapt to changing circumstances is relatively poor.

What you also need to learn is observation of the environment, that is, to listen to all directions and look in all directions. Before any battle begins, you can't even tell how many enemies there are, which will obviously put yourself in a dangerous situation.

The previous battle is a good example.

Just a puppet deceived Tangcao and Xiaobai. It would be fine if Xiaobai was a spirit beast that only followed its perception, but as a magical girl who was mainly responsible for combat, Tangcao had to consider all possibilities.

In fact, this also has something to do with experience and experience.

When you notice a negative energy output with an energy intensity of ten, but when you arrive at your destination you find that there is only an outsider demon with an energy intensity of seven or eight at the scene, you should have realized that something is wrong at this time.

However, the above points can still be learned. As long as you have enough combat experience, you can slowly develop them.

Tang Zijun felt that Tang Cao's main problem was that her use of magic power was still too immature. To put it simply, her skill tree was not fully unlocked.

Although he is not very familiar with the profession of magical girl, Tang Zijun believes that the power of a real magical girl is definitely not as simple as using magic attributes to shoot lasers.

These people were able to use magic to fight the heretics for so long, and it was definitely not just a matter of waving a wand.

Thinking of this, Tang Zijun leaned against the head of the bed and picked up a piece of black gem fragment that looked like coal.

Dark Crystal?
This was left behind after the previous crab monster died. It should be the main source of energy for the Outer Demons and also the source of their life.

However, the dark crystal in Tang Zijun's hand has completely lost its energy response and looks like a piece of stone fragment.

Looking at the strange crystal fragments that didn't even reflect light under the bedroom light, Tang Zijun frowned slightly.

In his early years, when he fought against the Greedy Man in the Mirror Plane, similar residues appeared after the other party's death. However, the difference was that the residues left behind by the Greedy Man when he died were various transparent crystals.

Tang Zijun didn't know what the crystals were made of. He only knew that they couldn't be sold for much money and their only use was as bottom sand in fish tanks.

There is no way to investigate how the reversed world was created. It seems that from the moment the world was born, a reversed world corresponding to the real world was born.

The Reverse World is like a mirror image of the real world. It exists alongside the real world, yet remains completely separate. Without special powers, one will never be involved in that realm. Tang Zijun knows that whenever a certain spectacle is created in the real world, a completely opposite counterpart is born in the Reverse World. Similarly, when something in the real world is destroyed, its copy in the Reverse World also disappears.

This cycle continued for a long time until the negative energy floating in the inverted world reached a threshold.

At the beginning, there was no life in the reverse world, only an infinite cycle of energy and emotion.

When the negative energy of the real world reaches a certain level and affects the reversed world, the first greedy person is born.

He absorbed endless lies and negative energy. From the moment he was born into this world, he had completely lost all positive emotions as a human being. Instead, his body was filled with evil thoughts.

Jealousy, deception, disguise, bloodlust, and all the darkest emotions imaginable are the source of that guy's power, and that guy is also the creator of the mirror plane and the god of all greedy people.

Turning his gaze back to the dark crystal in his hand, Tang Zijun's eyes gradually became deeper.

Since they are all enemies of the magical girl camp, in a sense, these outsider demons from the other world may also have similarities with the greedy people in the mirror plane.

According to the information revealed by the crab monsters, the Outer Demons and the Greedy Ones know each other's existence, and they have the same goal, which is to invade the real world and seize more energy.

In this early stage, they are both in the same camp and enemies in competition.

Just like what the crab monster said, the cake is only so big. If the outsider demon eats a few more bites, the greedy person will naturally have less.

No wonder the heretic demons are unaware of the details of the Greedy Man's demise. Perhaps for them, the absence of the Greedy Man would make their hunting area larger.

In this situation, it would be good enough if they didn't set off firecrackers to celebrate. How could they take the initiative to find out how the greedy man disappeared?

But then again, logically speaking, the entire Greedy Organization was completely destroyed by himself. Such a big event has already caused a shock in the magical girl circle, and the Outer Path Demon should not have taken no action.

So is there still a secret that I haven't noticed yet?

Lying quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling expressionlessly, Tang Zijun felt a ripple in his heart.

In addition to the mysterious inner world, there was another thing that he couldn't understand.

After fighting with those guys from the mirror plane for so long, Tang Zijun had never seen any greedy person appear in the sunlight, not even a replica or a greedy person possessed by a human being could do this.

The only one who has the ability to stand in the sun without being affected is probably the god of greed.

But the problem is that the crab monster is only a captain-level existence and there is no way he can withstand the erosion of sunlight.

Judging from Qin Nan's reaction, the other party was also quite surprised by this. In other words, this ability was probably not something the heretic demon was born with.

This is a bit strange. What kind of power do those heretic demons possess that they can actually do things that even greedy people cannot do?
