Behind the two, Ilya looked at them with a helpless expression.

"Hello, my name is Ilyasviel von Einzbern. Are you really magical girls? Are there really many monsters like this in our city?" Ilyasviel asked Abigail, who was holding Madoka, as she approached Madoka.

"Of course, young lady, I think you have quite the potential. How about we sign a contract to become a Magical Girl?" Abigail joked.

"Oh dear, isn't it a bit unfair of you to ask my contractor for help in front of me like this? Ilya, don't be tempted by her, you're a magical girl now." At this moment, Ilya's staff floated in front of Abigail and spoke.

"Huh, it can talk?" Abigail said, looking at the staff. Xiaoyuan was also a little curious.

"That's right, I'm a top-tier Mystic Code, so being able to talk is nothing to me." From the staff's words, Abigail could sense her great pride in her identity.

"Um, do you have a name?" Xiaoyuan asked curiously.

“Of course, my name is Ruby. Oh, and that’s my sister, Sapphire.” Ruby said, pointing to another staff behind Ilya with her wing-like decoration, which could actually be considered her hand.

"Hello, my name is Sapphire. Nice to meet you." Sapphire's long stem was slightly curved, as if it were bowing.

Compared to the vibrant ruby, sapphire is clearly more particular about etiquette.

“So, what about you? Everyone has introduced themselves, you should at least say something.” Abigail focused her gaze on the last girl, who was dressed in a blue magical girl outfit.

"Miyu. Nice to meet you." The girl bowed slightly and then fell silent.

"It seems you already know each other. Let's leave quickly. But speaking of which, why hasn't this place started to collapse yet? Shouldn't the monsters have already been defeated?"

At that moment, Rin Tohsaka, looking disheveled, walked over and said something. Behind her, Luvia was lying on the ground. It seemed that Rin Tohsaka had won this time.

Seeing Luvia like this, Miyu walked over.

“I don’t know either, but it seems things aren’t as simple as they seem,” Abigail said, looking at the octopus tentacles that suddenly emerged from the water.

"Everyone be careful!" Abigail saw it, and so did Xiaoyuan.

To be honest, even Abigail was somewhat surprised. The giant octopus, which she thought was dead, had come back to life. It seemed that the octopus had been repairing itself while everyone was talking earlier. Abigail was actually unaware of the octopus's regenerative abilities. Although she had summoned it, she didn't know the characteristics of any of the species involved.

As the tentacle slammed down in the direction of the group, Xiaoyuan decisively fired an arrow, severing the tentacle.

"This thing can come back to life even after its head is gone. Its regenerative ability is too strong. I suggest we leave first and deal with it again after we find a solution." Rin Tohsaka said, looking at the tentacles that were regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“I agree, it’s just a waste of time now,” Luvia said, having recovered at some point, as she stood up.

"What's your decision?" Rin Tohsaka turned to Abigail and asked.

"Of course! Run, Xiaoyuan!"

"Okay, I understand." Hearing Abigail call her name, Xiaoyuan immediately understood what to do.

She shot an arrow herself, severing the tentacle that was about to attack, then returned to Abigail's side and opened a portal to leave.

"Alright, we're off now, bye-bye." With that, Abigail pulled Madoka through the portal and left.

Seeing the two leave, the portal remained open. Rin Tohsaka turned to Illya and called out:

"Ilya, let's go."

Meanwhile, Miyu was also called back by Luvia.

Then everyone went through the portal and left.

After exiting the portal, everyone returned to the real world.

"Oh dear, this monster is really troublesome. It can recover even after being beaten so badly by Madoka. Could it be that it can recover as long as there is any tissue left? That would be truly terrifying."

As soon as she came out, Ruby said with some emotion.

“Yes! So what should we do?” Ilya asked.

“Since we can’t do anything about it and it can’t get out, why don’t we just leave it alone? It doesn’t look like a Heroic Spirit. We…” Rin Tohsaka said after thinking for a moment.

“Hey, lady over there, I have to warn you, if you leave that monster alone, it might just come out from the other side.” Abigail interrupted Rin Tohsaka.

“Who are you calling an old lady? I’m only 17!” Rin Tohsaka immediately retorted to Abigail’s words.

“You’re 17 and you’re still acting like a child? Are you trying to imitate some old woman?” Abigail said.

"You... never mind, I won't argue with you. So, what you just said, is it true?" Rin Tohsaka took a deep breath and said.

Nonsense, this was my plan, I didn't even know.

Of course, what Abigail was thinking at that moment, and what she actually said, was this:

"Of course, otherwise why do you think we would want to eliminate these monsters?"

Chapter Forty-Four: The Allure of Flight

After hearing Abigail's words, Rin Tohsaka's expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

"Where did that octopus come from? Why is it so troublesome?" Rin Tohsaka said, grabbing her hair tightly.

“No matter what, we can’t just leave that monster alone,” Luvia said as she walked over.

"I know, but that giant octopus is not only huge and has a wide attack range, but it also has such a strong regenerative ability. We have no way to deal with it right now! Maybe we'll be able to deal with it after Illya and the others learn to fly," Rin Tohsaka said somewhat dejectedly.

“But flying is an advanced skill; it’s not that easy to learn,” Luvia said.

However, at this moment, Ilya suddenly interjected.

"Is that right?"

“That’s right, that’s exactly it,” Rin Tohsaka said after glancing at it.

At that moment, Rin Tohsaka suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Illya, how did you fly?" Rin Tohsaka asked in surprise.

"Shouldn't magical girls be able to fly?" Illya countered Rin Tohsaka's question with a similar question.

"I'm speechless." Rin Tohsaka replied somewhat dejectedly after hearing Illya's words.

“Well, after all, the source of a magical girl’s power is imagination, and Illya’s understanding of this naturally allows her to fly,” Ruby said.

“That’s true.” Rin Tohsaka agreed with Ruby’s words.

On the other side, Luvia turned to Miyu and said, "Miyu, you can't lose to them. Flying is easy for you, right? Now fly up and show them."

However, Miyu's reaction was not what Luvia expected.

“No, people can’t fly,” Miyu said firmly without the slightest hesitation.

"Ah, what a child without dreams." Luvia felt a ton of blows.

Immediately, Luvia grabbed Miyu by the back of her collar and dragged her away, saying as she left:

"That's why you can't fly. Come with me. I'll give you special training before the next battle until you can fly."

On the other side, Abigail watched Ilya and the others' conversation with great interest. Ilya's words were nothing special, but Miyu's answer was truly insightful. This always reminded Abigail of another famous saying: "When a person is killed, they die."

"Hey, Abby, why can't I fly?" Xiaoyuan suddenly asked from the side.

Turning my head, I saw that Madoka seemed to be trying, but I could tell from her expression that it wasn't working. Besides, the magical girls in Garden of Magic are fundamentally different from those in Prisma Illya.

However, the answer to the question of whether Madoka can fly is not negative. Although none of the magical girls in the Magical Garden have discovered a way to fly, their potential magical power is not low. For example, Madoka's original magic was ribbon magic, but she developed a way to use a flintlock pistol.

In other words, Madoka's magic can also be developed to a deeper level, but there's no clue how yet.

“Xiaoyuan, you need to understand one thing: you can fly too. If you think like Miyu, you definitely won’t be able to fly.”

“But that’s exactly what I thought, just like Ilya. If Ilya can fly, then I should be able to too, right?” Madoka said doubtfully.

“Madoka, knowing that you can fly is just a prerequisite. You are different from them. They are magical girls who transform using Mystic Codes. Illya's ability to fly is probably due to the Ruby's ability to directly materialize Illya's imagination into reality. But you are different. You are a purer magical girl. You have to figure out how to fly on your own. So let's study how to fly properly later.”

Of course, all of this is just Abigail making things up, and nobody knows if it's true or not.

"Alright then." Xiaoyuan was a little disappointed. It seemed that Xiaoyuan was quite envious of Ilya, after all, flight is a common desire of mankind.

"Seriously, let's call it a day. I didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected situation. I need to think about the battle plan carefully."

Rin Tohsaka scratched her head and said, then turned to look at Abigail:

"By the way, let's find some time to discuss the battle plan."

"Sure, I live right across from Ilya's house. Just contact me if you need anything."

After Abigail finished speaking, she left with Xiaoyuan.

"Abigail, are we just going back like this?" On the way back, Xiaoyuan asked Abigail.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyuan? Is there something you haven't done yet?" Abigail asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't think there's only one place with monsters. I can't deal with this one right now, but I should be able to handle the others that are weaker," Xiaoyuan replied.

"Xiaoyuan, there's no need to rush this... wait a minute..."

Abigail was about to advise Madoka not to rush things, but then she suddenly thought of a problem. Perhaps this was a good opportunity to properly record the various data of the Soul Gem. Wasn't the reason she turned Madoka into a magical girl to study the Soul Gem?

“Perfect timing, Xiaoyuan. I’ve thought of a place we can go and deal with today. The monsters there aren’t very strong, but they’re a bit troublesome.”

"Then let's wipe them out today, we can't let them escape." Xiaoyuan said excitedly after hearing what Abigail said.

"Alright, Xiaoyuan, come with me."

After saying that, Abigail led Xiaoyuan in one direction.

After finding a reasonably open spot, Abigail extended her hand.

The testing location was actually chosen randomly by Abigail. She had already analyzed the construction method of the mirror space before, since she had her own space and analyzing this mirror space was quite simple.

The mirror space base point is established, magic is filled, and space is generated.

In three steps, a mirrored space of moderate size was created. Abigail then summoned a suitable monster within it for testing.

Xiao Yuan watched from the side. Although she didn't know what Abigail was doing, she didn't disturb her.

"Yuan, get ready. Although the monsters inside aren't strong, they'll be tough to deal with," Abigail said to Yuan after she was ready.

“I know, I’m ready, let’s go in.”

After Xiaoyuan finished speaking, a portal with a rose-shaped mark appeared in front of the two of them.

The two then went inside together.
