Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

"Okay, enough of this digression. Aya, open the door."

"Okay." Aya responded, gripping the magic wand tightly in her hand. She drew her magic power through her senses and injected it into the magic wand. "The sky grants pure gifts of stars, the earth grants exquisite miracles of pyroxene, and the ocean grants endless water companions. Open, the gate to the virtual world."

Magic power surged out as she finished the spell, tearing a black hole in front of the two of them, and then rushed forward to stretch it open into a colorful space door large enough for an adult to pass through.

While the door to the void world was opening, Meiko Anten, who had entered a transformed state, walked in first, and Ayaya followed closely behind and entered the void world for the first time.

As soon as Ling Ye entered the void world, the slight tremor from her feet caused her body to stagger before she could stand firmly. If Meili hadn't supported her from behind, she would probably have fallen to the ground.

"Although the magical girl's battle suit will have a certain buffering effect against physical attacks and magic, this effect cannot ignore everything, so don't rely on it too much. During the battle, try to dodge attacks as much as possible. Develop a good habit."

Ayaya listened carefully to the instructions of Meiko Anten, a senior who was a magical girl, and nodded, "I understand."

"Of course, you are a Blue Magical Girl. Before you advance, you don't need to fight on the front lines. Just cast auxiliary magic in the back."

After briefly explaining the early fighting style of the Azure Magical Girl, Meiko Andeng held Ayaya in her arms, spread her phoenix wings, and took off into the air.

Meili also spread her bat wings and followed behind Anten, and landed at the final destination, which was the rooftop of a tall building with the best view in the battle area.

"Eh?" Ayaya looked in the direction of the vibration and was stunned. "Could this be... our target?"

What the hell was this? That pitch-black behemoth, tens of meters tall and as tall as a building, could actually be the enemy of the magical girl?

Looking at the extremely shocked expression on Ayaya's face, Meiko Andeng and Meili looked at each other. They could both see a bit of helplessness on each other's faces.

"That's why I'm telling you, the world of magical girls isn't as beautiful as you imagine."

Volume 4: Something Hidden Beneath the Earth: Chapter 29: Three-Day Cycle

"This mission is really boring. I thought a fight was about to break out, but I didn't expect that Void Beast to disappear again."

In the void world, Frate was lying casually on the ground, complaining non-stop.

They originally rushed to the vicinity of the Clear Sky Tree at the call of Commander Youyi to look for the trace of the Ghost-level Void Beast on the detector.

After being silent for so long, she originally thought she had a chance to move around, but she didn't expect that the Void Beast would just disappear.

"Did it know we were coming so it deliberately hid itself?" There were only four people who came here on the mission, including her, including Rei, Rin, and Katharine.

After going through so much trouble to come here, they didn't expect that all that was left was a bottomless nest shrouded in darkness.

"Well, how about you fly in and take a look?" Li said with a smile, pointing to the nest not far away.

Although the energy fluctuations of the Void Beasts have disappeared, according to Youyi, it is unknown whether they will come back, so he asked them to stay here for a while.

"No, no, no, I won't do something that would lead to my own death. But I'm also very curious about what this nest looks like."

Perhaps having heard something of interest, Katerina stroked her chin and said, "Normally, the interior of the nest should be similar in structure to an anthill."

Hearing what Katerina said, Frut and the other two people all showed curiosity. "Oh? The kind with entrances and exits everywhere?"

"Well, when I first saw the nest with Sanqing, I tried to explore it carefully, but it seemed like my magic power was devoured by something. It would disappear as soon as it came into contact with the nest."

Katerina raised her head and looked at the black cave, frowning. "If I'm not mistaken, the black volcanic-like substance on the inner wall of the nest is actually a substance that prevents the expansion of magic power."

"Prevent the expansion of magic power?"

"Well, you all should know about the three-day cycle of the Void World, right?"

Fulat nodded. "An object that remains relatively still for three days in the real world will be copied and reproduced by the magic of the void world."

After saying this, she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at the dark nest with some surprise.

"I think you've noticed that these nests haven't disappeared since they appeared. This clearly doesn't conform to the three-day cycle."

Everything in the void world is made up of magic power, so the so-called three-day cycle rule of the void world is also a process of magic power circulation.

Since those black substances have the effect of preventing the expansion of magic power, they will not be affected by the magic power cycle. In this case, the entire underground of the void world is occupied by the void beasts, right?

"So that's what you meant."

Lin, who was listening carefully to their conversation, began to ponder: "I was wondering why Void Beasts have become so rare in recent years, and sometimes it's even so difficult to see one. It turns out they've all gone into hiding underground."

"But this isn't good news for us." Li's expression turned serious. "If they want to hide like turtles, we can't do anything to them. But if we really want to annihilate them, we have to go to their territory."

When that time comes, whether there is a trap or not is one thing, and whether you can defeat others on their territory is another.

Looking at the risks and benefits alone, it is impossible for them to be proportional.

This is also why, before the Lustful Crusade, they discovered that the Void Beast Tide came from the lair, but the higher-ups were reluctant to send people in to investigate.

On the one hand, they wanted to focus their attention and combat power on the lust subjugation war first, and on the other hand, they also considered this issue and kept delaying it.

"But I seem to have heard that headquarters recently decided to send people down to the lair, and they even transferred Tia, Cui, and the others back for this purpose."

"It would be great if that's the case. I hope this matter can be thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, if we get attacked someday, we won't even know how we died."

boom

Just as they finished discussing this topic and fell silent again, the entire ground shook violently without any warning.

A large amount of rocks were ejected from the ground into the air like a volcanic eruption, pouring down like split meteorites and crashing onto the surrounding buildings.

Although these rocks, which are only the size of a human head, cannot cause much damage to most buildings, they can easily shatter some glass.

If this level of damage were to be reflected in the real world, it would be enough to cause some clear cracks to appear on the glass there.

Of course, at this moment, the four magical girls present did not have much time to observe the extent of the destruction around them. They tensed their bodies, which had already entered combat mode, and stared intently at the nest in front of them that they were guarding.

A huge monster suddenly broke out of the ground, flew to a height of dozens of meters in an instant, and then fell heavily to the ground.

It stood up straight, and its arms, which were as long as its legs, beat its chest like drums, making bursts of low, dull sounds like thunder.

Katerina estimated the Void Beast's height. "About thirty-eight meters tall... This should be the Ghost-level Void Beast that's about to evolve into a Dragon-level one. It really does give off a strong, oppressive feeling."

The shortest Ghost-level Void Beast is 20 meters tall, while the tallest is 19 meters tall. However, when their height truly breaks through the 40-meter mark, it means that they have successfully escaped the Ghost-level range and truly evolved into Dragon-level.

Although they have not evolved, they are infinitely close to the dragon level, and the magical pressure they exude is far beyond the reach of ordinary ghosts.

Even though Rin has become an advanced magical girl who can easily kill several ordinary demon-level monsters, if she faces this kind of monster alone, she does not think she has absolute confidence in defeating it.

"I don't know if it has other companions. Let's get rid of it as quickly as possible! Try to minimize the damage to the surrounding buildings." As the temporary team leader, Lin had already issued orders when the Void Beast just appeared.

"Yes!"

"receive."

"learn."

After getting feedback from all her teammates, she didn't hesitate at all. When Frate used the enhanced outer suit to fly high into the sky, she immediately activated the limited liberation and summoned the advanced Tarot.

In order to reduce the severity of the disaster, they used all their strength.

"Air Control-Vacuum Prison!"

Volume 4: Something Hidden Beneath the Earth: Chapter 30: Evolution

Looking at the 20-meter transparent, distorted space surrounding the giant beast, Aya asked curiously, "What is this?"

"That's Rin's advanced magic, called Vacuum Prison." After answering her question, Anten Meiko muttered to herself, "The first move was Vacuum Prison. It looks like they're planning to end this quickly."

"Then what should we do?" Ayaya looked at the monster and then at Anten Meiko, "Should we attack?"

"No, it's better not to disturb them for now." She looked at the void beast in front of her. It seemed a little familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

"Master, have you forgotten? That time when you encountered the Void Beast Tide, that Void Orangutan almost beat you to death."

[Tsk, so it's this guy. What a coincidence! I didn't expect it to come out and cause trouble again. But now that we've met this time, we can't let it get away.]

[Yeah, what a coincidence! It can't possibly be looking for its owner, right?]

Meiko Anten was stunned for a moment.

[It shouldn't be possible, right? ]

Not to mention how much time has passed since that day. After she was rescued by Tia, she was not idle in the base. The next day, she went to Tianqing Palace in the deep mountains and forests with Tia and Lin to practice.

This training lasted for a full month. She was not in Tokyo for such a long time. Even if the Void Ape really wanted to come looking for her, it was impossible for it to appear near the Tokyo Skytree now, right?

[Perhaps it's another Ghost-level Void Beast that's somewhat similar to that Void Gorilla.]

However, speaking of this, she did discover a problem, that is, the ghost-level void beasts she encountered were not just creatures that already existed on Earth.

And no matter how many there are, their individuals do not seem to be repeated.

Just like the first Void Spider she dealt with, she hadn't encountered a second Void Spider in such a long time.

Based on what she had seen in the dark space before, and based on other people's memories of battles in the Void Beast field, it could be seen that even though the Ghost-level Void Beasts looked like spiders, their species were completely different.

So Anten Meiko speculated whether each of those ghost-level void beasts represented an Earth species, but if that was the case, then what was the meaning of their appearance or existence?

She didn't believe that the other magical girls who saw this scene would have no thoughts about it, but it seemed a little out of reach for her alone.

boom

The restraints of the vacuum prison made the Void Gorilla unable to move. The light cannon falling from the sky hit its head directly, causing it to look up to the sky and let out an angry roar in pain.

A stream of purple light shot towards the Void Ape's neck at an astonishing speed. The moment it roared, the sharp cold light had already swept across its throat.

In an instant, black etheric blood gushed out from the wound, and even the transparent distorted air walls were dyed black.

"How disgusting." Seeing this scene, Aya frowned.

Seeing the slight disgust on her face, Mary walked over to her and gently took her hand.

"This is how we fight, so even if it's just to protect yourself and Merry, you have to get used to it slowly."

"I will." She nodded heavily. "I will protect Meili and Meizi."

"Then I'll leave it to you." An Teng Meizi said with a smile.

While they were talking, countless missiles came from all directions, bombarding the Void Gorilla at the moment its throat was cut and before it could react.

"Did it succeed?" Ayaya murmured.

Even though this gorilla is a terrifying 38 meters tall, it would not be able to easily withstand so many terrifying attacks that specifically target its vital parts.

"It's not that simple. This gorilla should be fine... and I can feel that its aura seems to be... stronger."

As if to confirm what Anten Meiko said, a roar like thunder suddenly sounded in the smoke and dust raised after the explosion.

The violent energy fluctuations dispersed all the smoke around it, and black ether continued to rise from its body like burning black flames.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, its height was unexpectedly raised by two meters, breaking through the 30-meter mark and entering the 40-meter level.

"Oh no!" An Teng Meizi exclaimed, "Why would it happen at this time..."

No one expected this, not even the Void Ape itself.

Under so many deadly attacks, it should have died instantly, but under this sense of oppression, it broke through the last bottleneck and truly evolved from the ghost level to the dragon level.

As it broke through, its skin was instantly rendered dark gold, and the muscles on its back squirmed and finally broke through the flesh and blood, stretched out and pulled out the hanging body to turn into two thick arms.

A single horn extends from its forehead, and the magic ether burning on its body eventually solidifies into a hard stratum corneum like armor.

As expected, just as Anten Meiko expected, when the ghost level entered the dragon level, they had evolved from the level of ordinary creatures to fantasy creatures.

The terrifying pressure, even though it was several hundred meters away, still made Ling Ye's pretty face turn pale and she almost fell down on the spot.

"Merry, can you please help them?"

Meili glanced at Ling Ye and saw that she nodded to her. Then she jumped from the tall building, spread a pair of bat wings and flew towards the Dragon-level Void Gorilla at a high speed.

"Aya, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm feeling better." Although her complexion was still not very good, she had slowly adapted to it after experiencing the first shock of pressure.

"Then come and help me."

"Okay, but how can I help you?"

"When I launch my attack later, just use your ability to amplify it for me."

"Okay." Aya slowly took two steps back, holding the magic wand tightly in her hand, ready to release auxiliary magic at any time.

After Ayaya responded to her, she held Ayaya in her arms and shuttled between the tall buildings, moving closer to the Void Ape.

Without any hesitation, she entered the Starry Form. She stretched out her hand and grasped the exquisite pseudo-god bow Tianhong in her hand.

There is no need to put an arrow in front of the bow to draw the bow. With the compression of the first level of magic power, a red arrow naturally appears in front of the bowstring.

The magic compression was completed in a short time. As the fifth level of fire magic was compressed into it, the entire arrow seemed to be burning, and the surrounding spiral light patterns also turned into flame spirals.

She planned to use Ayaya's auxiliary magic and combine it with her strongest attack to wipe out the Void Ape before it became fully familiar with the dragon-level power.
