Apocalypse, then transforming into a magical girl

"By the way, what's that monster you mentioned we have to deal with? I'll come with you," Little Green asked.

Although she displayed overwhelming strength, Xiao Lü had a feeling that if this eccentric girl was left to run wild, she might cause something beyond reason.

For example, if I suddenly feel like it, I might just tear down a corner of all the symmetrical buildings in the vicinity... It shouldn't be that serious, right?

This kid has been breathing Earth's air for over a decade, so he probably has a basic sense of right and wrong.

The wolf raised its finger and pointed it to the sky:

"They're already in the sky." The voice was as calm as repeating a weather forecast.

Following the direction she pointed, Little Green looked up at the sky.

At the very top of the crimson sky, there were indeed some dark shadows that swayed like noise.

The distance was too great to see clearly, but the basic outline of the corvid could still be vaguely discerned.

This surprised Xiao Lü.

Most aggregates almost completely overturn the original form of living organisms, but these monsters have retained such a high degree of integrity.

Of course, upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to fly.

Of course, there are still many signs of mutation in the details. Their size has increased significantly, and their wingspan may be several meters high. The shape of their wings is somewhat deformed, and their feathers are greasy as if they have been soaked in oil, but in any case, at least they can fly.

[Flight Unit]

In Xiao Lü's mind, these four words were automatically bolded.

This is not good news. It means that previously relatively safe high places are no longer safe, and we can no longer simply be wary of threats from the ground and inside buildings as before.

The version updates are really fast, and new monsters have been developed again. Little Green thought to himself, "I want to express my gratitude to the garbage game developers and their garbage family members of Earth Online."

"They like shiny things." The wolf's voice pulled her back to reality.

"Unexpectedly, even after turning into monsters, the crows still retained this nature."

"right."

"Wolf" nodded slightly, then turned his face to the side, his gray eyes looking directly at her, and added a sentence with great seriousness.

"But it's not cute anymore."

"...Okay." Little Green nodded, not intending to comment on it.

Little Green channeled its magic, condensing a large number of tiny ice crystals in the air, reflecting the dim light of the sky. In this area, they had become the most dazzling things.

"It's very beautiful," the wolf said softly, looking at it.

The flock of crows circling high in the sky also stirred instantly. Their distorted "cawing" sound rose an octave in an instant.

Like a swarm of flies drawn to carrion, they swarmed headlong into this place.

The wolf did not act immediately.

Her gaze swept quickly around. There weren't many pebbles and withered branches, just tombstones and paving stones… She didn't want to disturb the place. A flicker of pity crossed her grey eyes.

Therefore, we can only use the existing materials.

"Mayfly," her voice was calm and direct, "borrow some ice."

"it is good."

With a thought, Xiao Lü separated more than a dozen fist-sized ice blocks from the ice crystal dust.

Using telekinesis, the wolf precisely took eight coins from them with clean and efficient movements.

The eight ice blocks hung silently beside her, arranged symmetrically with four on the left and four on the right, centered on her body's center line.

The next instant, the two took off simultaneously, like two fighter jets with vastly different capabilities, to meet the approaching flock of crows.

The "wolf" hovered steadily in the center of the battlefield. Eight ice crystals beside her shot out in pairs, following perfectly symmetrical trajectories.

They don't fly straight, because that might seem unattractive to wolves.

They drew four arcs in the air, like boomerangs, killing large numbers of the crows that were rushing towards them head-on, and the black blood mist burst out.

Little Green's fighting style, however, forms a stark contrast to hers.

She didn't bother with any combat aesthetics; instead, she created a turbulent flow of countless sharp ice shards to protect the wolf.

Any monster that attempts to flank the "wolf" from the side or rear will be instantly cut to pieces.

After a highly efficient massacre lasting less than a minute, the flies in the air were torn to shreds. A brief respite appeared on the battlefield.

"Ah...that's the crow's nest."

The wolf pointed to a power transmission tower in the distance that was clearly no longer functional.

Little Green's gaze immediately locked onto that spot.

After the number of mixed-breed individuals decreased sharply, a unique individual was finally forced to stand out from the chaotic group, its size nearly twice that of its kind.

It seems the BOSS has appeared, but unfortunately, it was completely outclassed by the girl in front of it.

The leader let out a sharp shriek, no longer hiding, seemingly wanting to capture the leader, and charged straight at the "wolf" like a moth drawn to a flame.

The wolf's eyes remained completely unmoved.

The few remaining ice crystals beside her moved, forming a pincer movement that flanked the monster from both sides, blocking its escape routes.

Its instincts made it react quickly.

Driven by its wild instincts, it suddenly folded its wings, and its body instantly plummeted towards the only escape route below.

However, just as it thought it was out of danger and was about to rise again, a sharp ice spear arrived silently and pierced its unfolding right wing with pinpoint accuracy.

The ice spear shattered in an instant, and the fragments, imbued with magic, attacked its limbs and bones, instantly tearing its wings apart.

"It's beyond saving," the wolf said softly, watching the tumbling, falling shadow.

Without her prompting, Xiao Lü knew perfectly well. The monster's body had already begun to disintegrate during its fall, gradually turning into a pool of black slime.

With their leader dead, the remaining crows lost all will to fight and scattered in screams, quickly being wiped out by the two men.

The sky returned to silence.

They landed slowly at the foot of the power transmission tower.

Between the crisscrossing steel bars, numerous enormous nests have been built using various dead branches, electrical wires, and strange fibers.

A fishy smell wafted towards her, making her feel uncomfortable.

Inside the nest, there were piles of various things that still reflected a faint light under the dim, reddish skylight.

"It's like a dragon's treasure," the wolf said softly, his eyes filled with childlike curiosity and wonder.

"That's absolutely right," Little Green echoed.

She jumped into the nest that exuded a strange smell and, with the pragmatic mindset of a corporate slave, began to pick and choose.

Jewelry and ornaments, gold and silver, but mostly cheap gold-plated items. In the apocalypse, the value of these things is infinitesimally close to zero.

However, since it doesn't take up much space and isn't unattractive, she still plans to take it back.

Buttons, coins, medicines in foil packaging whose contents are no longer legible, and garbage.

Then, her hand touched something unexpected: a USB drive connected to a set of keys. A carrier of information; useful.

A worn-out phone case and several shattered rearview mirrors tell stories of silence and endings. But she only sighed silently to herself before starting to look for something new.

Just as Little Green was focused on counting her spoils, the wolf beside her carefully picked something up from the pile of junk.

It was a longevity lock with a broken red rope hanging from it, engraved with patterns that seemed to symbolize good fortune, although the owner's fate may not have been very auspicious.

The wolf held it gently in its palm as if it were a precious gem.
