Give the child a little shock to the world view

When the fire gun magic hit it, the magic bullet exploded, but it did not emit sparks. Instead, irises bloomed in mid-air, which opened up to form a cage and trapped it tightly.

The magical girl Iris raised her hand to adjust her little hat, with her signature gentle smile on her face, but when you look closely, there is a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Strangely, this time the magical girl Iris did not speak out to comfort the frightened crowd, but immediately launched a series of attacks.

The musket floating beside her fired several shots, and the magic bullets with automatic enemy-seeking function scattered and followed the breath of the strange monster.

In the past, the magical girl Iris's fire gun magic had a purification function that could clean up all the monsters in the cage.

But this time she was in a hurry, so she didn't pay attention to the follow-up and hurriedly turned around to look for her friends in the elevator accident.

Mayumi-san! You must stay alive!

She did not notice that the monster behind her that was held in the Iris Cage was not purified and disappeared as quickly as usual.

Although the monster was controlled, the magic's purification function had no effect on it. It struggled fiercely, and the physically fragile iris cage suddenly made a miserable sound of being overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the magical girl Iris bought some time, and the evacuation of the residents of this world, which has become a daily routine, has been completed halfway. Although there are still more than a dozen people in the hall, it is much better than before.

The magical girl Iris didn't care about anything else. She used her magical brute force to pry open the elevator door and looked down into the dark elevator shaft.

This is the first floor, but there are two floors below, and the elevator goes down to the parking lot on the second underground floor.

The magical girl Iris could only vaguely see the slightly deformed elevator ceiling. She had no idea about the people inside, and her palms were cold.

Just as I was about to stick my head out to check what was going on, I heard a rustling sound coming from above the elevator shaft.

Reflexively, the magical girl Iris only had time to retract her head, and then -

——She saw the arrow soaked in the bright blue light and the pair of extremely focused and blazing golden eyes.

The bright blue light of the arrow passed by the face of the magical girl Iris. Because the archer was strong enough, the trajectory of the arrow formed a straight line in the air, directly hitting the huge bug that had torn the magic cage into pieces and was about to pounce on the back of the magical girl Iris.

The sound of the arrow piercing the insect's head was not crisp, and the sound of juice spurting out finally brought the magical girl Iris back to her senses.

The stranger who jumped from a great height deployed his paraglider the next second after putting away his bow and arrow, abruptly stopping his falling speed, and his arm made a sinister sound.

After all, it is a jump down from the highest floor. Even a guardian with extraordinary physical fitness will still be injured by falling from a height.

She barely unfolded her paraglider in a small space to reduce her energy while landing, and then jumped to the first floor.

"You..." The magical girl Iris opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But the man said indifferently: "Get out of the way."

Unlike the always bright and beautiful magical girls, the colors of the Guardian girl's clothes always seem too dull, and her equipment has accumulated a lot of traces of wear and tear after years of use, creating an extremely strong contrast.

Not to mention her deep, hoarse voice and the huge scar across her face.

The magical girl Iris, who was shorter than the guardian lady, was pushed away by her. After a moment of hesitation, she turned around and looked at the insect monster that was killed by the guardian lady.

Purification magic had no effect on the bug, but Miss Guardian's arrows could penetrate its body. Dark purple blood gushed out, leaving a lot of marks on the ceiling.

……strangeness.

Monsters will not leave corpses. Most of them are elemental creatures born from the dark side of magic and can be easily dealt with by people with magical abilities.

And this one is not a pure monster. Rather, it seems to be some kind of insect.

Some kind of horrible disaster from another world.

Miss Guardian's breathing seemed to become heavier for a moment.

Chapter 14 A Little Shock

The moment Mayumi Hanega stepped into the elevator, she finally discovered where the abnormality she sensed came from.

That was the familiar feeling of being watched by Death, like a thorn in the back.

Being targeted by Death is like living in an endless Final Destination movie. There are always small chance accidents that are like coincidences, and you will always get hurt or die.

Fortunately, Mayumi Haga is not an ordinary person. Even if she is tricked accidentally, she can be resurrected again and again.

But in her original world, others were not so lucky.

Those who are confused by [Death] choose to commit suicide and stay sober, while those who are targeted by [Death] die an unnatural death.

Her resurrection ability is stronger than other guardians, and her luck is the best, so she can survive to the end.

During this long period of time, Mayumi Haga became extremely sensitive to the breath of death, to the point where she had developed a sixth sense to avoid disasters.

I thought that after coming to this world, I would never encounter those damn bugs again, but why did I smell the scent of bugs in this hospital... ?

While thinking, Mayumi Hanega took advantage of the momentary illusory state when projecting the guardian posture, passed through the top of the elevator, drew out her sword and inserted it into the elevator door to stabilize her body.

After a slight adjustment, he locked onto the scent of his mortal enemy and leaped down!

When jumping from a high place and using a bow and arrow, Mayumi Haga can use her extraordinary spirit to enter bullet time where everyone around her presses the slow-motion button.

So she was able to aim at the bug behind the magical girl Iris while falling and see the bug's appearance clearly.

For a moment, Mayumi Haga couldn't care less.

After she saw the shape of the insect clearly, all the blood in her body seemed to freeze at that moment. A shivering chill climbed up her spine, gripping her heart so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

Ignoring the dull pain in her heart caused by the emotional excitement, Mayumi Hanega's face was as pale as gold paper. She pursed her lips tightly to stop her trembling body.

How could this be…? !

How did this thing come into this world? !

This made her lose everything, even her mortal enemy whose ego was completely rotten, the culprit of all the disasters—

——A great disaster called the Worm of Death.

Even though the power was not as strong as in her original world, and its appearance was also different and had become much weaker... but just by the stench of death like a rotting corpse, she could be sure that this was the disaster that once spread in her world.

The shadow in her heart that had never been eliminated was awakened again. Even the magical girl Iris next to her could sense it. The aura of the guardian lady suddenly became gloomy and full of hostility, like a hedgehog with spikes all over its body.

If the guardian lady, who is still in a calm mood, only bares her fangs to the enemy, she can still be considered a person who can communicate normally.

Now, just the violent aura emanating from Miss Guardian makes people feel that she will launch an indiscriminate attack in the next second.

The magical girl Iris was frightened for a moment, but she also discovered the specialness of the monster, and the person in front of her should know something.

It was her first time to encounter a non-magic enemy, and to be honest, the scene after the battle was not very pleasant. Even though it was just a headshot, the splattered blood still made the magical girl Iris feel uncomfortable.

The smell is too strong.

Even though magic was filtering out the foul smell, the magical girl Iris could still smell it faintly.

But even this little bit made her stomach start to churn.

"Don't come near!" Miss Guardian shouted in a deep voice. Because she was too anxious, her tone was very aggressive. She frowned and said, "Are you looking for death?"

The magical girl Iris's impression of this stranger began to become somewhat bad.

Although he is a good person who helps me, he is really difficult to get along with and is not polite.

But she was calm and knew that she couldn't label people right away, and the complexity of the matter was beyond her expectations.

"Excuse me, miss?" she asked.

The stranger with a hood covering the upper half of his face did not speak, but silently drew out a terrifyingly sharp one-handed sword from his back.

Strange, when did the sword appear? Wasn't he carrying an empty scabbard just now?

From the perspective of the magical girl Iris, she could see the other person's taut jawline, the downward lip corners, and the tense and alert posture.

"This is not something you can handle." Miss Guardian just said, her tone was low, it seemed to be intimidating, not very friendly, "Go away."

Mayumi Haga had a vague guess in her heart.

This time the monster riot should be related to the death worm.

When eavesdropping on the conversation between Shanshan Lihua and the others, they mentioned that for some reason two branches of the city's spiritual vein began to fail.

Perhaps it was because their lifespan had come to an end, or perhaps it was just the rule, those with magical abilities didn't particularly care.

But because of the abnormality of the spirit vein, monsters appeared in large numbers. Therefore, the spirit vein is the biggest reason for the monster tide.

Mayumi Hanega knew very little about the magic in this world. She even only learned about spirit veins last night.

This has similar properties to the [River of Life] in her original world.

And in her world, the invasion of the worms of death... began when the river of life was devoured.

As a guardian, after she signed a contract with the world consciousness, she was given the responsibility of guarding the river of life.

After death, the life on that continent will return to the river of life, follow the stream to end its long journey, wash away the filth and memories contaminated by the world, and be born as a new life.

But the worm of death broke that order, forcibly plundered life, causing the long river of life to dry up.

When the last drop of life passed away, Mayumi Haga came into this world.

The appearance of the death worm in front of her was somewhat different from the worms in her world, probably because it had absorbed the spiritual veins of this world.

The strong smell of death on it will desperately eat away at vitality, but in this world, almost everyone has magic power that can replace the erosion of vitality and thus slow down the speed of death.

Even so, it cannot be left here and allowed to have a negative impact on ordinary people.

You have to deal with it yourself.

Mayumi Haga drew out her one-handed sword and picked it up with the tip of the sword in front of the surprised gaze of the magical girl Iris.

When the tip of the sword touched the death worm, the dark purple aura of corruption immediately climbed up along the sword body and almost instantly corroded Mayumi Haga's right hand.

She hissed softly.

Her right hand began to melt.

Skin, muscles, and then bones. In just a blink of an eye, the right hand that originally held the sword had rotted away to the point where only the skeleton could be seen.

Moreover, the wrist guard made of cloth strips suddenly took on an even more tragic appearance.

Mayumi Hanega put it into her backpack without any pause. She was in contact with the death worm for less than a second, and her right arm had already lost feeling. The numbness and itchiness had quickly spread to her shoulders and climbed up along her neck.

She wanted to cut it off as quickly as possible, but suddenly realized that there was someone standing next to her.

The last time she cut off her own arm, she scared Tono Hitomi so much that she lost her mind. She couldn't be so reckless this time.

The smell of corruption from this insect is very small, so it won't turn me into dry bones on the spot. I'll just have to wait a while for my body to heal itself.

Then, the magical girl Iris saw——

——Half of the stranger’s face also melted.

The face began to collapse, and the remaining eye became cloudy, and then fell out after turning the head.

Chapter 15 I don't want to live like you

despair.

For Mayumi Haga in the past, this was a word that had nothing to do with her.

Despite suffering from a serious congenital heart disease and being told that she was destined to die early, she was still favored by the world consciousness when she was on the verge of death and became a guardian who would never die.

The pain still existed, but it was no longer a reason for her to despair.

And after that, she clumsily began her own battle.

She measured every corner of the continent with her feet, and under the guidance of world consciousness, she rushed to where she was needed day and night.

During her journey, she met all kinds of people, including guardians with more experience than her. She learned a lot from them, and her steps forward were no longer as stumbling as those of a toddler.

She looked up to identify the position of the stars in the desert, walked slowly with a torch in hand in the misty forest, watched the red meteors streak across the sky from the highest point of the snow-capped mountains, jumped off the cliff into the lake below, and tamed a ferocious giant horse on an isolated island.

Walking from one end of the world to the other, looking back, hundreds of years have passed.

No one in the village where she once set out recognizes her anymore. The witch doctor who asserted that she would not live past the age of seventeen has now become a pile of bones covered with skin. The little girl who inherited the witch doctor's mantle has already regarded her as a character made up in her grandmother's bedtime stories.

My mother's tombstone was shattered in an earthquake, and her body could never be found. My former home was submerged by a mudslide, and no trace of it was left.

The businessman she met on the roadside later founded a business. Hundreds of years later, the prosperous business was ruined by his descendants, and not even the signboard was left. No one would buy special insects from her anymore, making a startled sound.

The elves in the forest who used to guide her have almost become extinct due to capture by humans, but they still remember her and will secretly throw a fruit to her when she is taking a nap under a tree, which will hit her forehead.

The giant lake dried up, and the aquatic creatures who depended on it for survival had to move from the southwest to the icy lake near the snow-capped mountains, and gradually adapted to the bitter cold.

There are many, many more...

Mayumi Haga still remembers that her world once had bright moonlight, bright red apples, and gentle mountain breeze.

She didn't know how to use self-destruction to fight at the beginning. After all, when she was a human, her swordsmanship was exceptionally outstanding. If it weren't for her illness, she would have become a famous genius.
