Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

Countless black clouds gathered into a large ball in front of the passage, and silver lightning was moving inside like a giant dragon, each lightning was as thick as a train carriage.

She knew very well that she must not let the thunder fall on her, so she folded her wings and crossed her arms to block it in front of her, and summoned the dragon scale shield that had not been used for a long time.

The shield made of dragon scales broke into countless pieces as soon as it appeared, and combined with the two major defensive magics she cast, the Glazed Shield and Entanglement, it directly wrapped up her entire body.

She had only enough time to do this before she rushed into the thunderclouds.

Even though the three major defenses have the ability to isolate external sounds, the rumbling thunder seems to explode directly in the soul, making it completely unavoidable.

Hiding in it, Anten Meiko could only pray helplessly that she would not be hit by the electric dragon. She knew that her defense was simply unable to withstand the attack of the electric dragon.

But it was obvious that her prayers had no effect at all.

Thunder operates according to certain rules. Countless electric dragons roam in the vast dark clouds. Although they do not repel the small balls that enter, unexpected collisions may occur.

One of the lightning dragons swung its tail as the clouds swayed, and the last section just hit the ball.

In just a moment, all the defenses were shattered, and the light of the dragon scales dimmed and returned to Anten Yazi's body. She was exposed in the wind and cloud as if naked.

The space storm was so terrifying that just being touched had a power far exceeding the full-strength attack of a peak dragon-level warrior. If it fell on her, who could withstand it?

Her body swayed in the passage completely out of control, and all she could do was pray once again that she would not be so unlucky as to be hit by the electric dragon again.

But whatever you fear will eventually come true. When An Teng Yazi had already seen the passage at the other end and was about to leave the space storm, an electric dragon rushed towards her with an astonishing thunderous sound.

Feeling the terrifying power fluctuations coming from the lightning, Anten Meiko's eyes fell into deep despair. She was already irritable in the Eclipse form, and at this moment she cursed directly.

"That damn beast, if I come back alive, I will definitely kill it!"

Just when the electric dragon was about to swallow An Teng Meizi, a desolate voice sounded in her ears: "Master!"

"Ruby? You..." Before she could finish her words, the wand in her hand had already escaped her control and flew out, instantly turning into an etheric light net that enveloped Anten Meiko completely.

"Ruby, you bastard, come back here! This is an order, come back now!"

Faced with An Teng Meizi's hysterical roar, Ruby finally disobeyed the order: "Master, the rest of the journey... depends on you."

The light net was swallowed by the thunder dragon, and it also shattered in an instant, turning into a magic wand with completely dimmed light and covered with countless cracks all over its body.

Her efforts were unsuccessful, as the remaining power of the Thunder Dragon still hit Anten Meiko's chest, plunging her remaining consciousness into complete darkness.

They continued to flow upstream in the passage unconsciously for an unknown amount of time before a hole suddenly appeared in the colorful light wall around them.

An invisible giant hand stretched out from the hole, grabbed the erratic Anten Meiko into its hand, and then retracted into the hole and disappeared.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 5: I Don't Have Time to Help You

The high priest stood in front of the altar, holding a staff in his hand, with his hands raised to the sky, and seemed to be muttering something.

The altar in front of him was a tall stone platform with a diameter of ten meters. An extremely complex magic circle was carved on the surface of the stone platform with some special material. At this moment, the magic circle was flashing with a nine-colored halo as if breathing.

"This year marks the 30th anniversary of the summoning of heroes. I wonder if we can succeed this year." The audience was not as quiet as imagined. Countless people who were watching the show were talking about it with relish, and the noise was endless.

"There's no way it can succeed. It's been a failure for thirty years. In my opinion, this so-called summoning ceremony must be fake. The hero only exists in legends. It's just a story." A self-important ordinary person raised his index finger and talked freely.

"But this year's event is much bigger than previous years, maybe it will succeed..."

Before the man could finish his words, another person interrupted him and started chatting with the person next to him.

"What the hell? If it could be done, it would have been done long ago. But it doesn't matter whether there are heroes or not. The offensive of the Demon King's army is not as strong as imagined. Moreover, the cities they occupied are intact. The demons are even living peacefully with humans in the same city. In my opinion, the people above are making too much of a fuss."

"You idiot, you come here to make a fuss just because you heard something. What do you know? That was an illusion given to us by the Demon King's army. Their purpose is to assimilate our thoughts and make it easier for them to rule us more brutally in the future." The people below talked one after another, sometimes talking about the summoning ceremony, sometimes about the Demon King's army.

In fact, during the past thirty years, the Demon King's army has been stationed in the north. Instead, some humans who coveted the rich resources in the north would send troops to attack the demons in order to seek the territory and resources stored in the north.

Humans have always adhered to the idea that those who are not of our race must have different hearts. On the surface, they are united to fight against the demons who occupy the entire northern continent, but in fact, they are engaged in many open and secret struggles behind the scenes.

The name of this continent is the Human-Demon Continent, which consists of two major races: the human race and the demon race. Each race has its own subdivisions. In the human race's kingdom, there are five major countries and many various small countries, totaling thirty or forty.

The demons have only one country, but this country occupies the entire northern region of the human-demon continent, which is equivalent to covering half of the continent at once.

As the magic circle suddenly burst into colorful light, the dark clouds above the magic circle suddenly twisted into a spiral shape. This sudden scene made everyone who was just talking shut up.

Last year, this magic circle only flashed a few times before it ended. However, this was the only time an unusual phenomenon occurred in the hero summoning ceremony that lasted for thirty years.

A colorful beam of light instantly gushed out from the magic circle and connected to the bottom of the funnel-shaped cloud. When the beam of light completely dissipated, a girl in strange clothes was lying quietly in the center of the magic circle, and she seemed to have fallen into a coma.

"Oh hahahahaha!" Upon seeing this scene, the priest suddenly laughed wildly towards the sky. He pointed at the people in the audience and turned back to look at the countless nobles who had already stood up. "See, see, the summoning was successful. I finally summoned the hero!"

"Hmm..." The girl moved slightly. She supported her body and slowly got up from the ground. When she looked up, she found that she was surrounded by a group of people in strange clothes.

"Have I arrived in Europe..." She shook her dizzy head and asked the person next to her, "Where is this place..."

The others didn't understand what she said and just kept mumbling something, which made her feel even more dizzy.

"Great, brave man, you finally woke up."

What are you talking about... Can you please say something I understand...

The girl roared in frustration in her heart, imagining this group of people speaking a language she could understand, and then the translation magic took shape.

Suddenly all the noise stopped, and the voices around her turned into the Japanese language she was familiar with, but almost everyone was speaking the same sentence.

"My dear hero, please save us."

As the man wearing a golden crown and luxurious brocade robe bowed to her, the other people wearing luxurious clothes and looking like aristocrats half-knelt down, while the people in the audience had already knelt on the ground like harvested wheat.

"Brave man, please save us." This sentence kept repeating. After the girl was stunned for a while, she finally began to organize her thoughts.

My name is Meiko Anten...

That's right, the brave warrior summoned to this plane was Meiko Anten. She was hit by lightning when she was leaving the space storm and then fainted.

After wandering in the space channel for an unknown amount of time, she happened to encounter a country in this world where a hero summoning ceremony was being held. The magic circle used in the ceremony captured her who happened to be passing by that plane.

Her body was affected by the spatial thunder, and she had lost many memories when she woke up. She only remembered her name and the general appearance of her original world...

And one very important thing.

"No, I refuse. I have my own things to do and don't have time to help you." Her words were also transformed into a language that people in this world could understand by the newly generated translation magic.

Although her voice was weak, the destructive power and infectiousness it caused were extremely strong, and the entire imperial city was completely quiet in almost an instant.

"Mr. Brave... what are you talking about?"

Strange, didn't they understand what I just said? Do they want me to say it again?

She thought about it in her heart, opened her mouth and repeated it again: "I said I refuse. I have my own things to deal with. I have no obligation to help you."

"But, Brave Master, we are being persecuted by the demons and are suffering so much that we can't hold on any longer... If you don't help, we will all be killed by the demons sooner or later."

Meiko Anten raised her eyebrows slightly. She vaguely remembered that there were similar plots in the anime and novels of her own world. Only then did she realize that she had traveled through time.

"What does it have to do with me what the Demon King's army does to you? It's the same whether I come or not. Besides, I see your city is quite prosperous, not like it's in ruins."

As soon as these words were spoken, the king was speechless, but he quickly regained his composure and glared at Anten Meiko with resentful eyes: "You are not a hero at all... I understand, you must be a spy sent by the Demon King's army to disrupt the summoning ceremony!"

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 6: Leaving the Imperial City

"Huh?" This sentence left An Teng Meiko stunned.

If someone helps you out, you're a hero; if someone doesn't, you're a traitor. What kind of logic is that? There's no way someone in their right mind can hold this position, right?

"Take her back and put her in jail for interrogation!" The man who looked like a king pointed at An Teng Meizi and said, his eyes flashing with greed and evil as he scanned the girl's plump body.

A moment later, more than a dozen guards rushed out from behind the nobles and surrounded Anten Meiko, waiting for their king's order to rush forward and detain Anten Meiko.

An Teng Meizi's expression gradually turned gloomy, and she said calmly: "I advise you not to do that."

However, the guards and nobles could not help but sneer at her words. They obviously did not think that this powerless girl in front of them could do anything.

"Go, catch her." The guy who seemed to be in a high position next to the king shouted.

Then the guards surrounding Anten Meiko rushed forward, thrusting the spears in their hands forward, blocking various parts of Anten Meiko's body, and then pressed down to try to knock her to the ground.

But a surprising scene occurred. No matter how hard the dozen or so soldiers tried, they could not shake the seemingly weak girl. If it were not for the bulging veins in the soldiers' hands, even their captain would have thought they were acting.

"What's going on? Hurry up and hold her down!"

"Captain...she's so strong, we can't hold her down at all."

"How is it possible? She's just a little girl!" The nobles looked at this scene in disbelief, and some of the timid ones even took a few steps back.

An Teng Meizi glanced around, then sighed and said, "I told you not to do this."

Her body shook slightly, and a huge force was immediately transmitted along the spear to the guards, knocking all of the dozen guards to the ground.

After glancing around, An Teng Meizi jumped up. With red as the main color, a pair of phoenix wings emitting colorful rays of light spread out behind her back, carrying her away to a place far away from the imperial city.

"Look, she is indeed a spy sent by the demons! Pass the wanted order and do everything we can to capture this spy." The king pointed at An Teng Meizi's back and shouted angrily.

"What kind of world is this? The people here are simply incomprehensible." Meiko Anten muttered as she increased her flying speed.

After a moment, she turned around and looked at the wings on her back in confusion. She didn't understand why she had such a pair of beautiful wings when she was obviously a human being.

She didn't remember many things, but she vaguely felt that being able to use magic was not something special.

"Forget it." She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Just as she was about to leave the imperial city, she suddenly had a bad premonition and subconsciously hugged her head and curled up her body.

A strong sound of breaking wind suddenly came, and a crossbow arrow tore her right wing. A pain like a knife cutting came from her back. She screamed in pain, and her body, which could no longer be controlled, swayed helplessly in the air, and finally fell rapidly to the ground in the form of a parabola.

The wings had automatically retracted into Anten Meiko's body, and she fell down from a height of two hundred meters. Although the treetops cushioned a lot of the pressure in the middle, her back still hurt terribly when she fell to the ground.

After the transformation, there is a pain buffer, but before the transformation, this effect will be reduced to almost zero. This is the first time that Meiko Anten has been injured so badly without transforming.

She coughed twice, and her chest hurt as if something was about to burst out of her body. All the bones in her body were wailing in resistance.

Gritting her teeth and getting up, Anten Meiko limped towards the dense forest. She knew that if she stayed there for too long, she would soon be surrounded by the guards summoned by the person who shot her down.

After ten minutes of getting used to the pain, the injury she had just suffered had healed. She did not spread her wings and fly high again, but instead sped up and continued to cross the jungle. This lasted for a whole morning before she found a place near a stream and stopped.

"Just because I didn't agree, they attacked their own kind without saying a word. Are these people crazy?" She casually tore off a piece of rag from her body and threw it aside.

The clothes she was wearing had been scratched by the branches and were torn into pieces here and there. If others saw her like that, they would probably think she was a female hooligan.

"This thing..." She felt around all over her body and finally stopped at the brocade bag hanging around her neck.

There was a vague idea in her mind. She imagined that she could see the contents of the sachet, and her mind magically entered it.

In the storage space engraved on the brocade bag, everything inside is clearly visible, including various foods, drinking water, camping equipment and spare clothes.

She looked at her body covered in blood and dirt, took off the remaining rags, and washed herself in the clean stream.

The scars on the body have healed on their own, and the remaining bloodstains are just intact skin. There is no problem in treating them as dirt.

Just when she finished washing and was about to take out a towel to wipe her body, she suddenly heard the roar of a wild beast beside her. Right behind her, a strange giant beast covered with spikes all over its body suddenly pounced out.

Meiko Anten widened her eyes in panic, her mind suddenly racing, and she almost subconsciously made the movement of grasping the sword. Red magic power continued to condense in her hand, transforming into a sharp flame-patterned spear.

She pushed the spear forward, and the sharp tip of the spear went into the giant beast's mouth and went straight out of the back of its head. It died on the spot with its eyes open.

Looking at the corpse of the giant beast in front of her, An Teng Meizi licked her lips, walked out of the stream, pulled out the Flame Demon Spear and then pierced its throat again. Based on her few fragments of memory, she stretched out her hand and whispered, "Entangle..."

Four or five chains were released from her hands and wrapped around the giant beast. She grabbed one of the chains and found the thickest tree to hang the giant beast on it.

Before coming to this world, she remembered that she had read some wilderness survival guides with someone. Although she had supplies in the wild, she could not waste them. If there were usable resources around, it would be better to use them first.

The food he brought from his own world cannot be replenished, so the giant beast in front of him is the best food resource at the moment, and it cannot be wasted at all.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 7: The Caravan in the Forest

After washing the blood off her body, Meiko Anten wiped her body with a towel and changed into a set of inconspicuous clothes.

She sat on a stone pier beside the stream, quietly waiting for the blood from the giant beast to flow, while also constantly keeping an eye on her surroundings.

Before processing the animal's flesh, it must be bled first, but in the wild, the smell of blood will stimulate the surrounding beasts and make you a target.

But Meiko Anten was not afraid. Although she had forgotten a lot of things, she knew very well that these beasts could not defeat her with her strength.

The beast's blood had finally been drained, and a large pool of scarlet liquid flowed from its huge tiger-like body, but no other beast came over following the smell of blood, which surprised her a little.

She stretched out her right hand and a sharp knife with flame patterns appeared in her hand. This was the Fire Demon Dagger from the Fire Demon series of weapons in the arsenal.

The Fire Demon series of weapons has a whole set of different cold weapons, which were painstakingly crafted by the most powerful dwarf craftsmen of a certain period and dedicated as a sacrifice to the Skyfire Dragon.

After quickly dealing with the beast's corpse and putting it into the storage space, Anten Meiko washed her hands with stream water and set off again.

Before she was knocked down and fell to the ground, she memorized the environment here in her mind. Although the forest was endless, there was a dividing line in the forest, which was the shortest route to leave here.

Meiko Anten followed this route. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be able to leave here in two or three days.
