Even if you're a corrupted magical girl, you still have to try to redeem yourself.

However, the problem is not too big.

Yuuki Yui was confident in her speed; if she launched a surprise attack from the shadows, this brainless creature would easily fall for it.

As Yuuki Yuki was thinking this, a fictional katana made of lines shot out from the girl's blind spot, heading straight for her arm.

"Ouch."

The girl seemed to stumble, but she narrowly avoided Yuuki Yuki's attack, as if she had eyes on the back of her head.

This is impossible!

"You almost hit me, Yuuki Yukino." The girl said, reaching her hand a little deeper.

By observing the taut muscles in the girl's arm, Yuuki Yukari was already able to determine what the girl had grabbed.

Without hesitation, the girl directly extracted the soul bubble from her own body and manipulated it between her fingers like a glass marble.

This guy...

Whoosh.

The girl threw the soul bubble directly at Yuuki Yukino.

Yuuki Yukino had no time to react; even if it was a trap, she had to step into it.

That's a living, breathing person; she absolutely cannot let that worst happen.

But nothing happened.

That bubble of soul lay in the palm of my hand, flowing with a healthy hue.

"Don't you understand? I mean, I'm returning this to you; I don't need it anymore."

The girl spread her hands, revealing a somewhat alluring smile. Seeing this on the face of this middle school student gave Yuuki Yuuki a feeling of being very guilty.

But with a formidable enemy at hand, Yuuki Yukino didn't have the time or inclination to think about such trivial matters.

"You're so kind..." Just as Yuuki Yui was about to retort, she realized a very important problem.

"You just said... 'I don't need it anymore'?"

It's not "we," it's "I."

This is not a habit this guy should have.

"Oh? You're quite perceptive. I noticed something unusual, which is why I came to check it out myself."

The girl raised her eyebrows and smiled, then opened her arms to Yuuki Yukino.

"My children, thank you for taking care of them."

Chapter 171 On the Boiling Black Sea

"Hey."

The girl, whose appearance was completely different from what Yuuki Yuuki knew, laughed out loud in a tone that Yuuki Yuuki had only heard of once but would never mistake.

Even though the magical girl in front of her, who looked like a middle school student, was different from the person Yuuki had imagined, Yuuki had already confirmed her identity from her speaking habits, her calm demeanor, and the words she was saying at that moment.

This guy!

That person was indeed Asahiya Reihimi, especially the phrase "Thank you for taking care of my child," which completely confirmed that all these despicable parasites were Asahiya's doing.

However, it wasn't Asahimi himself who came here, but rather Asahimi using that mouth to talk to himself.

He had found the last problem to solve with these parasites. If he could really separate the corrupted magical girls who were affected from the parasitic girls living inside them, all of Asahimi's plans would end in failure.

Therefore, she had to react, just as she had when her website was captured by Yuuki and the others using technology.

Asahi's counterattack has begun.

An even more bizarre scene unfolded before Yuuki Yuuki's eyes: the girl's face melted into a paste, like a wax figure, and tears streamed down her neck.

Next, her neck melted, then her shoulders, and finally her entire body, until the girl turned into a pool of black mud.

It was as if she was born from clay and had now turned back into a lump of clay.

Immediately afterwards, the shapeless black mud on the ground wriggled, just like a large slime.

Strange noises rang out one after another around Yuuki Yuki, like the sound of viscous water or flowing hot tar, causing Yuuki Yuki to frown involuntarily just by listening to them.

Yuuki Yui instantly recognized the source of the sound. At that moment, she disregarded everything else and rushed out of the door, bursting into the nearest cell in the prison where the corrupted magical girl was being held, a cell she hadn't entered that day yet.

When Yuuki Yukino burst through the door, what appeared before her eyes was indeed the scene she had envisioned, but it was also the worst scene she had imagined, and the scene she least wanted to see.

The corrupted magical girl who should have been hanging on the wall was no longer there; only an empty rope swayed back and forth, with black liquid still dripping from it onto the ground.

Just like what Yuuki En shot, it wasn't just the middle school girl who turned into black mud; the one who was supposed to be locked up here was also piled up there in a strange, inhuman form.

A crystalline bubble of soul was shimmering in the black mud, as if it would be completely swallowed up by the mud if it waited any longer.

With lightning speed, Yuuki Yukino manipulated her whip-like tentacles to grab the soul bubble from the black mud and put it on her body. Then she turned around and rushed into the next door.

The same emptiness, the same black mud, the same soul bubbles.

However, there seemed to be more black slime in this room than in the previous one. It was as if they were real slimes that could multiply continuously, constantly bubbling unsettlingly and spreading towards Yuuki Yuki's feet.

Yuuki Yukino immediately picked up the soul bubble again and rushed to the next room.

Yuuki Yukino was not slow at all, but when she opened the door, the black mud crossed the threshold and overflowed into the room, and it was still spreading at an even faster speed.

This situation is clearly abnormal, but Yuuki Yuki doesn't even have time to request reinforcements.

The black mud is growing exponentially, and I don't have time to go back.

If anything goes wrong, the magical girls she brought into the dream world will lose their future.

They were complete strangers to Yuuki Yuki, so even if something happened to them because of it, no one would blame Yuuki Yuki.

However, Yuuki Yuki just couldn't help but think of that sentence.

This little fish cares.

She will do that, she definitely will.

Yuuki Yukino started a mad dash, like a child throwing a small fish back into the sea from a sandpit before the tide goes out, beginning a race against time.

One, two.

The black mud had already soaked up to the soles of the shoes.

Five, six.

The black mud gradually climbed up the back of my feet.

Eleven, twelve.

The black mud had already reached above his ankles.

Twenty-one, twenty-two.

The black mud was about to reach the girl's waist.

Before they could completely destroy the small houses like surging waves, Yuuki Yukino, riding on the magic book, used her tentacles to grab the last soul bubble and sped away, brushing against the surface of the black mud.

The high-speed wind pressure left a deep groove on the surface of the black mud, which was then quickly filled by the churning, asphalt-like black mud.

Yuuki Yuuki bent down, her purple tentacles dancing in mid-air, like a disgruntled little beast baring its teeth and hissing at an unknown threat.

The black mud writhed like a living thing, with countless bubbles rising to the surface. Each bubble made a faint sound when it burst, like the painful screams of a young girl, intermittent and rising and falling.

The sounds converged, forming an eerie melody that echoed in Yuuki Yuuki's mind, causing her temples to throb involuntarily. It was as if her body, or perhaps the instinct of a magical girl, was warning her of impending danger.

Even an ordinary person who knows nothing about magical girls would feel a chill when they see the ground completely covered in blackness, let alone Yuuki Yuki, who is facing the black mud.

This is not something that can be achieved by simply combining the magic power of the few corrupted magical girls or parasites that Yuuki En has captured in the Dream Realm; even multiplying their magic power tenfold wouldn't be enough.

Yuuki Yukina vaguely guessed what Asahi Miya was doing.

It is a beacon. Those corrupted magical girls who were brought into the dream world by Yuuki Yuki... no, it is the parasites that attached themselves to them that became the beacons. This dark power is emanating from their remains.

The black mud was more like the omnipresent mixed magic power generated from the dream world she had in before her battle with Hanzawa Kuriko, due to the accumulation of too many soul fragments.

However, the magic within the black mud was purer and colder than the initial aura of the Dream Realm.

What was churning below wasn't just the annoying magic; something within that magic made Yuuki Yuki even more uncomfortable.

Yes... just like the lingering filth in the soul of the fallen magical girl in the previous dream world.

No way...

These things are simply a collection of filth.

Yuuki Yukino frowned and immediately made an extremely decisive choice.

The space beside the girl's hand was like an eggshell with several tiny cracks appearing, and then a piece of space was peeled away like a puzzle piece.

On the other side of the space, there was a city night sky. The cold wind blowing into the dream world through the gaps made Yuuki Yuki feel even more real that she was still alive in this world.

But Yuuki Yukino didn't have time to express any sentiments. She quickly reached out and grabbed a string of soul bubbles surrounding her, throwing them all into them at once.

As soon as the soul bubble came into contact with the outside air, it followed its master's scent and scattered in all directions, like a fleeting firework.

Yuuki Yukino can throw those bubbles out, but she herself cannot walk.

She had to prevent the black mud from flowing out.

If that filth were to flow into Moonsea City...

Yuuki Yui couldn't think any further. Her fists, hanging at her sides, clenched unconsciously as she watched the black mud below with bated breath.

In the dreamlike realm, the black mud beneath Yuuki Yuki's feet churned even more violently, as if floating on the sea at night, watching the dark currents surging in the churning water below.

There must be something inside.

As if responding to Yuuki Yuen's thoughts, the rolling black mud on the ground suddenly swirled, and the pitch-black liquid turned into a black hole, spinning faster and faster with a creaking and roaring sound. The roar at the center of the vortex grew louder and louder, making Yuuki Yuen's eardrums ache.

That thing is about to come out.

Yuuki Yui was sent flying backwards for a distance, her purple magic power surging around her body as if boiling, and the black magic patterns on her abdomen rose into the air and were crushed by Yuuki Yui's tentacles.

Divine Liberation: Faced with unknown dangers, if we don't activate Divine Liberation now, it may be too late later.

Suddenly, a twisted spike pierced the surface of the black mud. It was not an ordinary architectural spire at all—its angle completely violated any geometric shape that Yuuki Emi had read about in her textbooks, and it did not conform to any architectural style.

The spire twists in a dizzying way, as if piercing reality from another dimension.

Beginning with a twisted resolve, a heavy and massive building slowly rises, its basic units consisting of gray-white bricks. However, in Yuuki Enishi's eyes, these things do not resemble bricks, but rather writhing chunks of flesh.
