Chapter 135

The dazzling light magnified from a tiny point in the field of vision until it filled the Moth Monster's entire field of vision.

"---boom!"

The next moment, the Moth Monster was hit by a violent shockwave. Its already fragile body was blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground at one end of the hall.

This is an attack composed of immense Magic Power.

After being hit, the Moth Monster was blasted into the ground, and the area around it was dented and covered with countless cracks.

As for the animal itself, its wings were covered in dust and were somewhat tattered, making it look quite disheveled.

"Wh... what?"

The Moth Monster scrambled to its feet and looked in the direction from which the attack had come. Then it saw a gorgeous pink figure of a young girl slowly descending from outside the hall.

She was a girl who bloomed like a flower, adorned with starlight; in this city, there should be no one who wouldn't recognize her.

Magic Girl Star Flower, the most popular idol Magic girl in Maple Plain City, maintains a smile even during battles.

Her smile seemed to never fade.

However, today, this Magic girl was not smiling.

Her once radiant and captivating smile had vanished, replaced by an incredibly gloomy and cold gaze.

Star Flower's Magic Wand pointed at the fallen Moth Monster.

What... were you... just... thinking... about... to... do...?

Her face seemed shrouded in shadow, her gaze fixed menacingly on the Moth Monster who had just tried to attack Teacher Haihara, as if she wanted to tear the Moth Monster apart.

Before this, Star Flower had never shown such a terrifying appearance.

Moth Monster stiffly climbed out of the crater, but as soon as he got up, he felt his wings being grabbed by an incredibly strong hand, and a cold, needle-like sensation came from behind him. He stiffly turned his head and saw the Magical Girl Silver Feather, who also had a gloomy expression.

Magical Girl Silver Feather raised her head high:

"--Be prepared, you insect bastard."

The temperature of her tone dropped several degrees immediately.

In an instant, the two Magic girls fixed their gaze on the Moth Monster with an unprecedentedly terrifying killing intent.

Until he was beaten unconscious by two Magic girls, Moth Monster didn't understand what he had done to deserve such an unsportsmanlike gang attack from two Magic girls at the same time.

Meanwhile, Haihara found herself being picked up without her noticing. Looking up, she saw a veiled Magic girl gently carrying her in a princess carry.

This nameless Magic girl is Takanashi Shiori.

"Excuse me... teacher, please be careful. Were you scared? Are you afraid?"

Although she is just Magic girl without Magic name, Takanashi Shiori is much stronger than the average person after transforming, and has no problem lifting up a light woman like Teacher Haihara.

After giving her a princess carry, perhaps worried that the woman might be frightened, she stroked Haihara's head like she was comforting a child.

"... You weren't scared, so can you put me down now?"

Haihara said coldly as a little girl suddenly hugged her like that.

"Cut."

Takanashi Shiori muttered something to herself, then put Haihara down.

Monster, with Silver Feather and Star Flower on the other side, there shouldn't be any need to worry about the teacher's safety.

Soon, she noticed something.

There seemed to be one person still in the hall.

"... Student Council?"

Why is she still there?

Even the Moth Monster was rendered powerless against the combined assault of two enraged, normal Magic girls.

What's more, there's a Magic girl apprentice waiting nearby.

However, in a dark corner, a strange, hunched Monster, resembling a lizard and shimmering with iridescent light, was quietly watching everything.

[Eh... This time, three Magic girls have appeared at the same time. Isn't that terrible?]

The Chameleon tilted its head.

Its eyes rolled around, then suddenly stopped when it noticed an ordinary-looking female teacher wearing glasses in the corner. Then, its mouth stretched into a strange arc, revealing a comical smile.

[I see. You guys care about Teacher Haihara too. But if that's the case, what should we do?]

[Giggle...]

It let out a strange chuckle, and then, three colorful scales on its body began to shimmer with an unusual light.

Then, the three scales shattered.

In the shadows on one side of the hall, three figures shrouded in darkness slowly emerged.

Emerging first from the shadows was a pale mask, followed by several strangely shaped Monster with unprecedented appearances.

Monster, fish-like creature covered in scales and a wet, slimy substance.

There was a hummingbird-shaped Monster that clearly had wings and a long beak, but its lower body had huge, bee-like limbs and a stinger.

There was also Monster with Scythe growing from its arms and a cherry-colored body, resembling an orchid.

After using up three scales, the Chameleon Monster created these three Monsters. It smiled as it looked at the Magic girls in the hall, then at Teacher Haihara, who was being helped away by her Magic girl apprentices in a corner of the hall.

[Go stop that Magic girl apprentice, don't let Teacher Haihara escape!]

At its command, the Hummingbird Monster swiftly flapped its wings, transforming into a blur as it swept across the sky above the hall.

The other two Monster charged towards the two Magic girls who were fighting in the center.

[As for the Moth Monster... it's about time you became the first Perfect Form in a few years. Let you give my lovely Magic girl juniors a little surprise~]

Chapter Seventy-One: Phantom Wind

While the other two Magic girls were fighting the Monster, Takanashi had already seen Teacher Haihara off.

After confirming the teacher's safety, Takanashi prepared to go back and do some support work. Although she wouldn't be of much use, having another person would always make things safer.

As she walked through the corridor leading to the meeting hall, which she had previously exited, she suddenly heard the rapidly approaching flapping of wings, like the buzzing of bees, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Soon, she felt Gale sweeping from the other end of the corridor.

Takanashi reacted quickly, first raising his Magic Wand and releasing several Magic Power shields, then raising his Magic Wand again to block in front of him.

Then, on the other side of the corridor, a figure emerged from the darkness, flapping its wings. In a flash, before Takanashi could even react, the Magic Power shield in front of her shattered layer by layer.

"--bite!"

The next moment, an indescribably hard and heavy object collided with the Magic Wand, producing a piercing sound and even sparks.

It was a gigantic, eerie stinger, and at the other end of the stinger was Monster that looked like an enlarged hummingbird.

Her first reaction was to be stunned.

What kind of Monster is this?

Why does it look like both a bird and an insect?

Moreover... the Magic Power on his body doesn't seem to be limited to Bird System; there's also a very obvious Lunar Magic Power.

What is this thing? I've never heard of it before.

Why has another Monster suddenly appeared here?

Moreover, like the previous Moth Monster, its Magic Power is even close to that of Perfect Form Monster.

She was the only Magic girl here... and with her strength, there was no doubt that she had no hope of winning against this Hummingbird Monster in front of her.

The Hummingbird Monster was incredibly strong, Takanashi quickly realized she couldn't resist it. Her Magic Wand began to glow with Magic Power light, which soon transformed into flames, scorching the stinger.

The flames seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

Before Takanashi Shiori could react, the tail needle continued to press downwards, and then, her hand lost its grip, Magic Wand was knocked away in an instant.

Takanashi fell to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

She landed on her back, her chest jolted, and she coughed incessantly.

It seems... she's in a bit of trouble.

I really hope that Kirishima Ai and the others will notice this place soon.

"Magic Girl... Destroy..."

This Hummingbird Monster seemed to be of low intelligence, repeatedly uttering these words in a high-pitched, thin voice.

Takanashi Shiori reached out, trying to get the Magic Wand back to her, but the Hummingbird Monster quickly extended its stinger towards her, and the next moment, pollen-like gas suddenly wafted out from the stinger.

At first, Takanashi was confused.

It smells like flowers...

However, she quickly realized something was wrong and tried to hold her breath, but by then, it was too late, even if she reacted quickly.

The world before her eyes quickly became blurry and shaky, and her eyes quickly grew tired; before she knew it, she could no longer open them at all.

Her outstretched hand had fallen limply at some point, and Takanashi herself had closed her eyes, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Magic Girl... Kills..."

The Hummingbird Monster flapped its wings, its pale mask devoid of any expression, yet revealing a strange hint of excitement.

It twisted its waist and aimed its huge tail at the unconscious Takanashi.

The stinger flashed with a cold, sharp edge.

Just as it was about to stab through the girl's slender body, the Hummingbird Monster suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

The attack that was originally intended to strike Takanashi was temporarily halted.

Since when did this long corridor become unusually quiet?

Even the sound of hummingbirds flapping their wings had vanished, as if even sound had been swallowed up by the darkness.

Even the shadows seemed to begin to look strange.

The shadows in this corridor initially spread and lengthened slowly, like water droplets sliding down the corner of the wall. However, the speed of their spread gradually increased until darkness enveloped the entire corridor, and the shadows that had been lurking on the walls stretched out and surged out like a real tide.

The Hummingbird Monster noticed the source of the shadow in the corner of the corridor...

The darkness surged forth, stretching outwards and revealing the enormous outlines of black Feather Wing, almost obscuring most of the corridor.

Within the black outline of the Feather Wing, one after another, dark golden eyes opened...

Suddenly, footsteps sounded in the darkness, and a figure slowly emerged from the shadowy corridor.

"Did you put her to sleep? That saves me the trouble."

A cold and low voice.

The Hummingbird Monster looked up and saw a slightly gloomy woman wearing glasses at the end of the corridor.

Upon seeing the female teacher, the Hummingbird Monster, though almost entirely enveloped in shadow, instinctively and mechanically repeated the actions:

"Teacher Haihara... You can't escape... You can't escape--"

In the instant it spoke haltingly, a long, thorn-like spike extended from the shadows and pierced the Hummingbird Monster's chest as easily as piercing a block of tofu.

Haihara simply waved her hand, and several more shadow spikes rose from the ground, piercing the Hummingbird Monster again and again, turning it into a beehive.

There was almost no sound.

The Hummingbird Monster was instantly riddled with countless piercings from the shadowy spikes, and in the blink of an eye, it lost all life, its body hanging limply, devoid of any vitality.

Haihara did not leave as Takanashi had assumed.

After hearing what the Hummingbird Monster said, she showed a curious expression.

"Hmm? Do you recognize me?"

The woman with the gloomy demeanor said something casually.
