Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 43 The 'Tree' Growing in the Room

The inexplicable scene made Tang Cao stunned.

She maintained her transformation posture and didn't react for a long time.

What about the monster?
What about such a big monster?
Tang Cao stared blankly at the place where the ruler disappeared, his head full of question marks.

When did I become so powerful? I don’t even need to cast any magic. I can destroy the opponent without leaving any trace just by using the transformation special effects.

Xiaobai, who was standing beside him, was also stunned.

Her eyes slowly fell on the icy surface on the carpet. She had no idea what was happening.

The only person who could send her here from the real world and make the ruler vanish in the mirror with just a flick of a finger was probably 'that Lord'.

"Xiaobai, did you see that?"

At this time, Tang Cao's voice sounded from the side, with an extremely unexpected tone.

Xiaobai had not forgotten the agreement she had made with Tang Zijun. She paused before answering.

"Well, the space in the surface world is relatively unstable. What we see may just be the illusion of the ruler. Although it appears before us, it may be very far away."

"I see." Tang Cao nodded. She didn't really understand this, but she just listened to whatever Xiao Bai said. "Then what is this ruler? Is it also an outlaw demon?"

"Although both are manifestations of negative energy, Dominants and Outer Demons are not the same entity. Strictly speaking, Dominants cannot even be considered 'living beings'."

"Unlike the Outer Demons, whose consciousness is formed from the accumulation of negative energy into dark crystals, the Rulers are monsters created by the spirits of intruders in the surface world. The Rulers that each person sees in the surface world are different."

Xiaobai glanced at Tang Cao and explained quickly.

"Judging from the clothes that ruler just now wore, it seems that he should be the reflection of the Daxin spiritual world you mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cao couldn't help but recall the strange creature in chef's uniform that he had seen before.

I still remember that the two of them went there to buy a cake at the beginning. If it is really as Xiaobai said, then the ruler is most likely reflected from his or Su Siyao's spiritual world.

While I was thinking, Xiaobai's urging voice came again.

"Don't think too much. Don't forget our purpose. I'm not here to accompany you on a tour!"

"Oh yes!"

When Tang Cao heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

She suddenly threw the pendant lightly into the air, and at the same time continued with the transformation spell that she had not yet finished reciting.

“——Bloom!”

A pure white light suddenly burst out, wrapping Tang Cao's body in it. As the cold wind howled, his long black hair was also dyed with white frost.

Her body spun around nimbly, and strange energy suddenly spread out like water waves, and the school uniform on Tang Cao's body also turned into a short skirt.

He raised his hand to catch the falling 'pendant', but now the pendant had turned into a short stick about one meter long. The short stick was completely transparent, like pure ice.

"Okay, let's go!"

After the transformation, Tang Cao moved much faster.

And maybe it was the sense of security brought by the power, she even felt that the strange environment around her was not as scary as before.

After all, no matter how low the surrounding temperature was, it couldn't be lower than the temperature of the ice-type magic emanating from her. The next stretch of road was unusually smooth. Tang Cao thought she would encounter an ambush by the Dominator, but strangely, she didn't see anyone along the way, as if she and Xiao Bai were the only ones in the entire restaurant.

Tang Cao did ask Xiaobai the reason, but Xiaobai meant that this surface world was about to become desolate and extinct, and the negative energy itself was not particularly great.

If Daxin had not accidentally strayed into this place, then within a few months, this surface world would have completely disappeared into nothingness and turned into nourishment for the inner world.

Moreover, Daxin is the only one who accidentally entered here. Moreover, he is an optimist himself, so the negative energy he can provide is hardly enough to support the survival of this surface world.

Not to mention creating a powerful ruler.

Although he said so, Tang Cao still felt that something was wrong.

When Xiaobai first appeared in front of her, he described the surface world as extremely dangerous, but now it feels to her like it's just an escape room.

It's even worse than an escape room. At least there will be girls in makeup chasing you in an escape room.

If this surface world is really about to die, then it is impossible for it to be so peaceful here in the face of a dying counterattack. Those guys should use all their tricks to stop me.

With this question in mind, Tang Cao followed Xiaobai all the way around, turning left and right, and finally arrived at the end of the corridor.

At the end, facing the direction of Tangcao, there was a closed door.

The door handle was covered in rust, as if it had not been touched for a long time.

The carvings on the door are blurred, and it looks like it has been eroded by some force, turning the originally exquisite door into the dilapidated state it is today.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only Tang Cao's footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.

Tang Cao felt a little nervous for no reason. As she approached the door, a feeling of nervous uneasiness crept up from her back, making her subconsciously tighten the short stick in her hand.

There seemed to be a 'light' on in the room behind the door, with a faint light shining through the gap under the door. However, strangely, there was a dark shadow in the center of the light.

The black shadow was motionless, as if there was something behind the door standing in front of it, peeping at the arabesque outside through the peephole.

At this moment, Xiaobai, who saw that Tangcao had not taken any action for a long time, finally couldn't help it.

She jumped up nimbly, and her little paws grabbed the door handle. Her agility caught Tang Cao off guard.

Then, the door slowly opened, making a creepy creaking sound.

Tang Cao quickly raised his short staff and prepared for battle.

However, the expected scene of a monster rushing towards him the moment the door opened did not appear.

In the dim room, an extremely strange 'tree' stood abruptly in the center.

The trunk of that thing was rough and twisted. It was not a single tree, but was made up of countless tentacles entangled together.

The lines on the surface of the tentacles looked like human faces wailing in pain. With each breath, the mouth on the human face opened and closed, looking extremely terrifying.

Black snowflakes were floating in the air. As the door opened, the snowflakes suddenly changed direction and flew towards Tang Cao's position.

"This is it."

Xiaobai stared at the 'trees' growing in the room in front of him, a look of disgust on his face.

"Quick, Karakusa, use your magic to destroy it!"
