My ex-girlfriend is a magical girl junior?

Meanwhile, deep within the South Suburb Park, a battle was taking place silently.

A massive lizard-like monster stood in the open space, its scales reflecting a bluish-gray metallic sheen in the moonlight. Whenever it swung its tail, which was covered in bone spikes, the park's paved surface would be torn up piece by piece like chocolate crust.

At this moment, it was roaring as it ripped up the sports equipment fixed to the ground with cement, along with the soil and stones underneath, and then threw them into the air.

There, two beams of light, one blue and one green, were dodging the monster's attacks at incredible speed, and in the gaps, they were firing magical beams that corresponded to the light emanating from the monsters. Occasionally, bursts of fluorescent light would explode from the monsters' backs.

All of this was undoubtedly a big commotion, but it was called a silent battle because, apart from the two people and one contracted spirit inside the [Void Bubble], no one else around noticed what was happening.

A passerby looking down at his phone walked straight toward the roaring monster on the ground. The lizard monster had obviously seen him and attacked him at a speed that no ordinary person could possibly dodge.

Faced with this scene, none of the three points of light, two large and one small, floating in the sky made any attempt to stop it.

The claws with sharp nails slammed violently into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. However, when the dust settled, the pedestrian, who was completely unaware of anything, emerged from under the monster's claws, as if the other party were merely an invisible, realistic holographic projection.

The monster's low intelligence clearly did not support its understanding of this fact, but after launching several attacks in succession with the same result, it roared and locked its target back on the two blue and green dots in the air.

"Fortunately, no one was around when the Void Realm infiltration occurred, and this Void Beast can't fly, otherwise it would have been troublesome," the green magical girl named Silver Snow sighed and said.

"But we still need to speed things up. This illusory bubble is infiltrating reality all the time. If we let it go unchecked, that monster will soon arrive in reality."

The one speaking was Ruby, a contracted spirit with transparent wings and a white cat-like appearance. She didn't seem to rely on wings to fly, but rather floated in the air, with specks of glowing dust falling from her body.

"That's true, but that's an Erosion-level Void Beast. We two Stardust-level newbies have no chance of winning." Yin Xue's expression was somewhat helpless.

"Ruby, haven't the Crescent-class reinforcements arrived yet?"

"Hmm... I don't know. The request for help was sent out a long time ago. Logically, reinforcements should have arrived by now."

The white elf shook its head and gave a disturbing message.

"Yinxue, I've already told you, don't think about relying on seniors or adults. The two of us can take care of that monster here... that'll be fine!"

As the magical girl named Ruri spoke, she fired another blue beam of magic at the monster beneath her feet. Unfortunately, the beam dissipated before it even touched the monster's scales, failing to cause it any damage.

"Hmph... Since ranged attacks are no good, let's settle this with close combat!" Seeing that her attacks still hadn't caused any damage, Liuli flew directly towards the monster.

"Liuli! No! Our only advantage against that Void Beast is that we can fly!" Yin Xue shouted to her companions, trying to stop her, but it was too late.

With a slight thought, the light surrounding Liuli transformed into a deep blue spherical magical shield, and then she transformed into a shooting star, rushing straight towards the head of the lizard-shaped virtual beast.

The beast opened its mouth wide as it faced its prey rushing towards it, then abruptly closed it just as the insignificant blue dot of light got close.

Like the sound of shattering glass coming from between sharp teeth, the Void Beast failed to swallow its prey. The spherical magic shield blocked the bite, and although it shattered itself, it created an opportunity for Liuli.

Floating beside the Void Beast's face, the blue magical girl thrust her wand into the beast's open left eye. The wand head, which had been only faintly glowing, now shone with a tangible light over a foot long.

The wand pierced the center of the beast's vertical pupil like a sharp sword. Its translucent amber eyelids snapped shut, wedging the blue wand firmly into its flesh.

The beast, in pain, roared and shook its head frantically, trying to shake off the annoying blue flies around its eyes.

Unwilling to let go of her wand, Liuli was as helpless as a leaf struggling in a gale. She was quickly flung away and crashed heavily to the ground, creating a deep, radiating crater.

"Ah!" The heavy blow made her cry out in pain, but before she could adjust her posture, the next attack came one after another.

The giant claw of the lizard-like beast magnified in Liuli's pupils. She subconsciously tried to gather magic power to defend herself, but the spherical barrier shattered in an instant, before the giant claw could even touch it—Liuli's magic power was almost exhausted due to the previous battle.

"Liuli, watch out!" Yin Xue rushed down without hesitation, arriving at her companion's side faster than the giant claw, and gathered magic power to create a barrier that blocked this potentially fatal attack.

A dazzling emerald green magical barrier protected the two, constantly repelling the giant claws of the Void Beast that were pressing down on them. The Void Beast seemed to be enraged by its first real injury, and it showed no intention of stopping even as the magic contained within the barrier was burning its claws.

After a brief stalemate, spiderweb-like cracks quickly appeared on the emerald green barrier, and the light began to flicker and dim.

The cracks in the ground beneath their feet began to widen. The magic shield could protect the two from being crushed, but it could not stop the indentation made by the beast's claws from getting deeper and deeper.

Yin Xue knew that if things continued like this, he and Liu Li had no chance of winning, so he instantly increased the release of magic power. After the barrier dimmed for a moment, it shone brightly and then began to tremble violently.

The next moment, under Yin Xue's control, the barrier suddenly shattered outwards. The huge impact repelled the giant claw and caused its owner to lose his balance and fall to the ground with a thud.

"Cheer up, let's get out of here quickly." Under the cover of the huge cloud of smoke, Yin Xue put Liu Li's hand on his shoulder, trying to bring his companion back into the air.

"Silver Snow! Watch out for its tail!" Ruby, the fairy in mid-air, suddenly exclaimed. She could see clearly that although the giant beast had lost its balance, its tail with bone spikes was unaffected.

"What..." Yin Xue only had time to let out a cry of surprise before she and Liu Li were violently thrown into the air by the attack. Although she managed to create a magic barrier at the last moment and was not directly hit, the impact and the depletion of her magic caused her to fall into a coma in mid-air.

With a muffled thud, the two women crashed heavily to the ground, this time completely unable to resist.

"Roar roar roar roar roar—"

A moment later, the lizard-shaped phantom beast stood up again, looked at the two prey at its feet that had lost the ability to resist, and roared, a hint of human-like smugness appearing on its face.

It slowly extended its claws toward the magical girl lying on the ground, and the damaged eye tissue was visibly healing.

"Yinxue! Wake up! Let's escape together." Seeing her companion in danger because of her mistake, Liuli's face finally showed the fear and self-blame that were appropriate for her age.

Seeing the giant claws of the behemoth approaching, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and raised her hand to block in front of her companion.

"What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?!" Nearby, the contracted fairy Ruby hovered in mid-air, anxiously plucking two tufts of white fur from her body.

Although it can make contracts with girls to give them power and turn them into magical girls, it has no fighting ability itself. Even ordinary human-level power can easily subdue it.

Faced with this colossal, erosion-level void beast, it clearly had no ability to resist.

"What on earth is going on today? First, a reliable senior member of the team mysteriously disappeared, and then the distress call was sent out but no support has arrived yet—wait, that's...!"

Ruby suddenly sensed a powerful magical aura rushing towards her.

"It must be the magical girl senior who received the distress call!"

The next moment, a flash of pink light disappeared, piercing directly through the body of the lizard-shaped phantom beast.

Liuli slowly opened her eyes and saw a scene she would never forget: a beam of cherry-pink light pierced through the beast's belly as easily as a paper cutter cutting through white paper. The deep purple core light, which had been pierced with a large hole, suddenly dimmed and then turned into fragments on the ground.

The terrifying phantom beast remained frozen in place, its ferocious attack posture intact, before turning into dust and dissipating in the night wind.

Beside the corpse of the Void Beast, a petite figure dressed in a pink Lolita-style combat suit landed lightly with a calm smile on her face, the ends of her twin ponytails still shrouded in lingering magical stardust.

She turned around and reached out her hand to Liuli, who was lying on the ground.

"Hey, are you guys alright?"
