Three days later.
In the tranquil night sky over Fuyuki City, a red and a blue meteor streaked across the silence. A closer look revealed that they were actually two overage Magical Girls blasting each other with Cannons!
This was a genuine Cannon barrage. The two held wands and continuously fired magical bullets, countless projectiles colliding in the sky and bursting into beautiful fireworks.
The wand in the blue Magical Girl's hand could actually speak.
"An audiovisual obstruction barrier has been activated. You two, please show some restraint."
The wand in the red Magical Girl's hand spoke as well.
"Exactly. You two aren't getting any younger, and acting like this isn't cute at all."
"Shut up, Ruby!"
The red Magical Girl furiously scolded the wand in her hand, clearly agitated.
"If I don't beat that annoying golden drill into the ground today, I'll write my name backward!"
The red Magical Girl said indignantly, while the blue Magical Girl opposite her let out a strange "Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho" laugh and mocked her.
"I was merely speaking the truth. Having you carry out missions with me only holds me back. Could you please leave the stage already?"
"What did you say?! I'm furious! You bastard! Let's settle this once and for all!"
"You think I'm afraid of you?! Musclebound Rin, I'll make you regret this today!"
The two Magical Girls aggressively circulated their mana, powerful magical energy forming enormous magic circles around them! Terrifying power brewed within them, as though they were preparing to unleash devastating attacks.
But just then.
"Good grief, I really don't know why Master chose you two to be my Masters. You're far too childish. I'm done playing. I've decided to take a vacation for a while."
The Ruby wand in the red Magical Girl's hand suddenly flew out of her grasp, hovering nearby as it spoke to itself.
"Huh? Ruby, what are you doing?!"
Without her wand, the red Magical Girl's mana rapidly weakened, until she could no longer even maintain the magic circle behind her.
"Ahahahaha∽"
At that moment, the blue Magical Girl laughed in delight at her misfortune, still mocking her.
"See that, Musclebound Rin?! Even Ruby thinks you're hopeless!"
But before her words had even faded, the Blue Sapphire wand in her hand flew away as well.
"Eh?!"
The Blue Sapphire wand spoke.
"Lady Luvia is the same. You only care about yourself and have no concern for the mission. I now judge that Lady Luvia is no longer my Master either. My apologies, former Master, but I shall seek a new owner."
"Blue Sapphire!!"
The blue Magical Girl let out an enraged roar. Her curly golden hair made her look like a humanoid lion.
At that moment, the Ruby wand said playfully.
"Oh, right, right~ I already canceled both of your transformations. What you should be thinking about now is how not to fall to your deaths~"
As it spoke, the outfits on both Magical Girls rapidly vanished. Having lost their magical attire, they immediately lost the ability to fly. They were thousands of meters in the air! The two paused only briefly before—
"AAAAAAAAAH! Ruby! Just you wait!!"
"Bleh bleh bleh~"
Watching the two fall, neither wand seemed worried.
Both girls falling were elite magi. Even without the two wands' help, they possessed considerable abilities. Falling from such a height might leave them in a sorry state, but it would never be fatal.
"Big Sister, what should we do next?"
The Blue Sapphire wand asked the Ruby wand. They were powerful Mystic Codes created at the same time and were sisters by nature.
"Hmm∽~ Let's split up. If you find a girl you like, remember to let me know~ Well then! Farewell! A beautiful tomorrow awaits me!"
With that, the Ruby wand twisted its body and flew away. Watching her sister leave, the Blue Sapphire wand sighed softly. Then she turned her "head" toward Fuyuki Bridge, paused for a moment, and left as well.
And that very night.
A girl named Illyasviel von Einzbern became a Magical Girl.
At the same time, a mysterious girl draped in tattered clothes and holding a card she had just picked up looked in surprise at the Blue Sapphire wand flying before her.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Sapphire Star. I am a wand. Beautiful young lady, are you willing to become a Magical Girl?"
A beautiful encounter quietly began.
Then, another three days passed.
"Warning. Guardian Rider has been destroyed by humans. Rider has been punished. Geomantic Power has been diverted to the other four locations. Geomantic Power has strengthened, and the strength of the attracted monsters will also increase. The frequency of monster attacks will increase."
The Voice of the World rang out beside his ears again. Mo Shuying punched the last Azure-Fanged Hyena before him to death, and upon hearing the information conveyed by the Voice of the World, his teeth ached.
"This time it was Rider? What is going on?! Archer was destroyed a day ago! Now Rider has been destroyed too! That's already three wiped out! Do they have to be this weak?!"
Yes, information about Archer being destroyed had arrived a day earlier. Now the number of daily monster attacks had risen to three. Oh, no, it should be four now.
"ROAR!!"
Before his words had finished, a vortex appeared, and a Purple-Scaled Serpent emerged from it. Its body was over ten meters long and radiated a powerful aura!
"Damn it!! One wave after another! Hell! Can the remaining few be a little more reliable?!"
With the monster's appearance, Mo Shuying did not conceal himself first as he had before, then seek an opportunity to eliminate it through various methods.
He was no longer the man he had been a week ago. Over these six days, Mo Shuying's growth could only be described as terrifying.
[Mo Shuying] Class: Assassin Level: 12 HP: 8711 ATK: 4046 Abilities: Strength D, Endurance D+, Agility B, Mana C, Luck C, Noble Phantasm: Madman's Pride (A). Class Skill: Presence Concealment A+ Personal Skills: Gathering Storm A++ Grasp of the Undying A++ Demonic Spider Drain C Blue Scale Carapace C Siphoning Strike D-EX Battlefield Valor C Bedrock Armor D Mystic Codes: Rock Turtle Spiked Shield D+, Swift Wolf Bracelet C.
His attributes had visibly increased, and Mo Shuying's physique had visibly grown stronger as well. The tracksuit that had once fit him perfectly was now two sizes larger. You would never know what kind of explosive body lay beneath that loose outfit.
"Hissah!"
The Purple-Scaled Serpent locked onto Mo Shuying's presence and came rushing over, its body writhing rapidly. Meanwhile, Mo Shuying calmly bent down to pick up the item dropped by the last Azure-Fanged Hyena on the ground. It was a Canine Fang Dagger.
It was a D+-rank Mystic Code. Mo Shuying weighed it in his hand, then curled his lip.
"Too small. Doesn't feel right in my hand."
After saying that, he stored the dagger in his Storage Space, then picked up the Rock Turtle Spiked Shield beside him and faced the Purple-Scaled Serpent.
Mo Shuying smiled!
Serpent, your fate is uncertain!
