My ex-girlfriend is a magical girl junior?

Chapter 102 Lonely Shadow

"Om one"

The energy fluctuations of magic spread out from the transformation device. Unlike the pure and warm pink-gold light during previous Starfrost transformations, this time, the light emanating from the transformation device appeared somewhat dim and unstable, as if it might go out at any moment.

A pinkish-gold light briefly enveloped Lin Che, and his figure rapidly changed within the light. The next moment, Xing Shuang's petite body reappeared in the same spot.

Before she could even feel the discomfort of transforming with her magic source damaged, she raised her slender right hand without hesitation and quickly pressed it against the slightly dim "Tear of the Star" on her chest.

The instant she peeled the dark purple crystal, which emitted a cold and profound light, from the "Tears of the Stars," a strong, ominous wave of ethereal energy rippled through the bubble of this ethereal realm like a pebble thrown into a lake.

Xingshuang could now perceive more clearly that this "virtual source" was like a beacon, pointing to its original owner to show its location.

If he doesn't get rid of it immediately, he and everyone around him, including Liuli who is fighting a bloody battle, will become prey to be continuously tracked and ambushed.

The pinkish-gold light suddenly receded in the next second, like the tide receding, the transformation was over, and Lin Che's figure reappeared in the same spot.

He looked at the dark purple crystal in his hand, his eyes hardening. Without the slightest hesitation, he gripped the "Void Source" tightly and pressed it against his chest.

There was no pain or struggle as expected, nor any discomfort caused by energy conflicts.

The moment that dark purple "virtual source" touched his skin, it melted into his body quickly and naturally, like melting ice and snow.

It was as if this power had always been of the same origin as him, and was now simply returning to its rightful place.

A void energy, completely different from, and even in direct conflict with, the magical power of a magical girl, surged and roared within Lin Che's body. Then, guided by his will, it began to flow gently, creating a strange resonance with his own soul.

The light shone again, but this time, it was no longer the gentle and holy pink-gold that belonged to Starfrost.

Instead, a dark, jet-black light, with a metallic, cold texture, rapidly coiled around and covered his entire body, as if it were alive.

When the light faded, the boy who had been standing there had vanished, replaced by a heavily armored knight in black, exuding a terrifyingly powerful aura.

The heavy black armor completely enveloped him, each piece gleaming with a cold metallic luster, its lines ferocious and powerful, its surface covered with intricate and eerie patterns.

His head was covered by a full-face, menacing helmet, obscuring his face. Only through the narrow slits around his eyes could two ominous, dark red lights, like embers of a burning fire, shine through.

With a soft "clang," two jet-black blades gleaming with a cold light sprang out from the sides of the arm armor, their sharp edges radiating a deadly chill.

In the brief but pure burst of magical energy that Lin Che initially transformed into Xing Shuang, a moment—

Liuli, who was struggling against the beast horde, and Jingjue, who was hiding in the deepest shadows of the park, almost simultaneously turned their gazes to the place where Lin Che had been hiding.

"Senior Xingshuang?!" An indescribable joy welled up in Liuli's heart. She clearly sensed that familiar magical fluctuation that belonged only to Senior Xingshuang.

"Is that senior? But—wasn't senior away on a business trip? And that fluctuation—why did it only appear for a moment and then disappear immediately?"

But almost immediately, that surprise quickly turned into deeper confusion and unease. The magical fluctuations lasted too short a time, leaving Liuli with no choice but to believe it was just her imagination.

Meanwhile, Jingjue's eyes, hidden beneath his pure white smiling mask, narrowed slightly. Just moments ago, he had clearly sensed a familiar aura belonging to his "Void Source."

He thought the crescent moon he wanted to hunt had finally appeared, but the familiar aura was only fleeting, replaced by a powerful and unfamiliar fluctuation of ethereal energy.

He was very familiar with that fluctuation—it was the aura of "the same kind." Another Void Apostle had appeared in his hunting ground!

Jingjue snorted coldly and turned his gaze to the sky not far away, where a figure that was entirely black and exuded a chilling aura quietly appeared.

"What is that?!" Liuli's pupils contracted sharply, and she instinctively held the ice blade in front of her chest in a defensive stance, her face filled with vigilance and unease.

"Such a strong void energy reaction! Is it—a void beast?! No, it's humanoid! Could it be—a higher-level humanoid void beast that has never appeared before?!"

She didn't know whether the suddenly appearing black knight was friend or foe, but the intense ethereal energy and the ominous aura emanating from him made her instinctively categorize him as the most dangerous enemy.

However, the newly appeared black knight seemed to ignore the extremely vigilant Liuli below. He simply raised his head slowly, as if sensing something.

Immediately, those scarlet eyes pierced through the barriers and precisely locked onto the "hunter" deep within the park, who had been hiding in the shadows and thought he was in control of the situation.

Without the slightest hesitation, the black-clad knight took a step forward. His heavy metal boots landed in mid-air with a muffled "thud," as if the entire space trembled.

"Now that I've shown myself—" A deep, slightly hoarse voice, like the scraping of metal, slowly emanated from beneath the heavy black helmet, echoing clearly in the silent park.

Why keep hiding? Why don't you come out and talk to me?

The voice was calm and still, yet it carried an undeniable authority, as if it were an "invitation" to an equal being.

Jingjue's white mask twitched slightly, seemingly not expecting this suddenly appearing "kindred spirit" to be so direct, so... arrogant.

interesting.

A cold smile curved his lips. Now that the other party had extended an "invitation," there seemed to be no need for him, the "host," to continue hiding.

More importantly, he needed to figure out what the purpose of this suddenly appearing, unknown "kindred spirit" was, and whether it would affect his plans.

The next moment, accompanied by a slight spatial distortion, Mirror Lord's figure slowly appeared in mid-air, facing the black knight from a distance of only a few dozen meters.

He was still dressed in the same top hat, long trench coat, and smiling mask, but this time, the expression under the pure white mask held a solemnity that he would never normally display.

"It seems we have quite a few guests tonight, including an unexpected visitor like you."

Jingjue gave a graceful, slight bow, his tone tinged with wariness and probing, "May I ask what your code name is?"

The black-clad knight slowly turned around, the two crimson lights lingering on Mirror Lord for a moment before letting out a soft, ambiguous hum.

He didn't answer Jingjue's question immediately, but instead looked him up and down with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, as if he were assessing an interesting object.

This blatant disregard only intensified Jingjue's displeasure.

Finally, after whetting the other party's appetite, the black-clad knight spoke again, slowly uttering a few words in a cold and deep voice.

You can call me—

"Silent Shadow."
