Mana Surge! Cell Reorganization!
If that mysterious eccentric, or some mysterious Monster Group, did indeed guide this third Monster.
So what is the significance of this?
The first two Monsters had already perfectly pinpointed the location of the Spirit Vein Nodule in Wind City, without even needing to confirm it.
Because at this moment, in the eyes of most people in the know, the location of the Spirit Vein is below Wind City High School... This is no longer a secret.
But if we're talking about really wanting to cause any damage to the Wind City...
The Monster that were attracted were far too "weak." Not to mention Cong Yu, even a typical professional Monster -hunting team could have dealt with them quickly.
"Da da da--"
Cong Yu's fingers tapped lightly on his phone in his pocket. Regarding the other person's behavior and attitude, the only thing he could imagine...
It was just a frail child, tentatively stretching out his leg to kick him.
Moreover, the other person's shoes were actually quite clean, which, as a form of "provocation," didn't even amount to dirtying Cong Yu's pants.
Perhaps it wasn't about stretching a leg?
It's more like it's hiding in a burrow, sticking its tail out of the opening and wagging it back and forth to pique other people's curiosity.
If that's the other party's purpose.
So perhaps they succeeded?
"..."
"Strange thing..."
While complaining like this, Cong Yu turned into a small alley, and then, instead of walking straight, he started to veer further and further off course.
As he gradually moved closer to the right wall, the instant he made contact with it, he merged directly into the wall and then completely disappeared into the alley.
Inside the house.
He decided to go and see for himself what was going on.
--
Sitting down in the carriage, Cong Yu began to ponder why Wind City had suddenly been beset by a group of uninvited guests this year, causing such chaos.
First, the guys from 21st Group tried to seize the Spirit Vein Nodule.
Then, the strange, dog-like man who caused trouble late at night disturbed his sleep.
Then some inexplicable guy attracted Monster to attack Wind City... Unfortunately, Kurenai hadn't seen clearly what kind of monsters they were before.
Otherwise, by following the clues, we might be able to find out the other party's identity.
Hmm... It's troublesome, but I remember someone saying that we should look at every problem with an optimistic attitude.
Although there are many troubles, they can be treated, very reluctantly and unwillingly, as some of the pleasures in life.
Although it already falls into the category of self-hypnosis.
Cong Yu pondered, sitting in the seat near the car window, wondering if these events were connected...
That's it! It must be like that.
The mysterious figure who triggered the Monster attack must be the culprit behind Takemikazuchi losing his hair!
(Takemikazuchi:!!!)
(Mysterious Stranger:???)
"..." That's probably impossible...
Cong Yu rejected her own completely illogical and fantastical association, watching the scenery outside the car window gradually change from an endless grassland to the outskirts of the Wind City.
Yes, the endless grassland is the default background set by Cong Yu.
Otherwise, when moving underground, looking out from inside the Jormungandr Train, all you'd see is darkness, or when passing through places like bathhouses or hot springs in a "void" state... well, that's how it is.
To avoid similar situations, Cong Yu set up a realistic grassland background... and sometimes a beautiful underwater world.
At that moment, as Cong Yu wanted to know what was happening "outside," the scene outside immediately came into view.
First, there's a Monster that looks like a silhouette.
Although it's just a silhouette, like the previous Boar Monster, people can easily identify the type of Monster by its shape.
And make a rough judgment about the opponent's attack method.
"..." But the Monster in front of him seemed to be out of the question, because Cong Yu couldn't tell what kind of animal it was... It seemed to have fish fins.
It has teeth and a streamlined body...
So, it looks like a shark.
Interestingly, this Monster silhouette has four legs... or more accurately, two legs.
Just like a quadruped that walks on two legs.
A shark with two legs and two cute-looking little hands.
"Don't Starve... Cat Shark?"
Cong Yu was reminded of the games he used to play in the world. He watched in astonishment as the "Cat Shark" began to crash into the magic barrier of Wind City.
Logically speaking, such a creature shouldn't exist in this world.
With this in mind, Cong Yu saw four magical girls attacking the colossal Catshark Monster.
As always, the battle is fought by utilizing the characteristics of Monster.
Since Monster are mindless, they will keep attacking the barrier itself until they are truly harmed. So the magical girls can prepare without worry.
Add buffs, amplify attacks... and then finish off the Monster in one hit.
In other words, it's a monkey show.
Unfortunately...
"Awoo!"
Suddenly, Catshark Monster lunged and bit off the head of the magical girl who was chanting a powerful spell... The headless corpse fell to the ground.
"..."
"Wow, Monster with intelligence."
Cong Yu commented, then put on the mask and slowly emerged from the ground, watching the cunning Catshark Monster that had begun hunting magical girls.
"But it didn't transform into human form like the 'Big Shadow,' and now... things have gotten really complicated."
Chapter 129 Magic Shift! Cell Recombination!
For the third squad of the Hunter Squad, today was another routine business trip... They encountered Monster in the Wind City.
Business trips are a normal thing.
The job of slaying Monster in Central City is much safer than dealing with monsters, and the pay is generally quite good, so... it's not their turn.
Good things never come their way.
However, killing Monster anywhere is the same as killing them, so flying to Wind City is no big deal, and there's no need to worry about being ambushed by monsters during the process.
For a big city like Wind City, it's about as safe as the countryside, a fact that has been well-known for a long time.
However, it has recently been confirmed that the safety is due to the fact that Wind City a "king" (a powerful wind element).
"Ah... I feel a nice breeze blowing. After this mission is over, I'd like to take a trip around Wind City. Do you want to come along?"
A magical girl, also traveling through the sky, nodded in agreement to her companion's words.
The other two magical girls didn't seem interested.
"Wind City is still best visited during the hottest days of summer. The sea and beaches here are quite nice. If you're going now, you might as well go to Fusha Village nearby, where there are mountains, rivers, and temples."
A magical girl
As he said this, the other one simply fell silent.
For her, her free time after work should be spent at home sleeping and playing games.
"Then, we will..."
The magical girl, who claimed she was going to have fun in Wind City, said this, before finally seeing the Monster's true form. "We'll talk about that later... Let's prepare for the hunt."
The four magical girls nodded, and then began to skillfully cast spells.
As always, because Monster aren't very intelligent, you can have enough time to accumulate the most powerful magic and then defeat Monster in one fell swoop.
Two people are responsible for restraining the attacker and ensuring the main attacker's attack hits.
One person is responsible for supplying magic power to enhance the main attacker's burst of power... This position is the so-called buffer.
Then, it was finished off by one person with an attack that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth.
During this process, the magical girl, after receiving the buff, will begin recording the Monster's data, such as its energy level and prototype.
However, this time it seemed to pose a challenge for her.
"A shark that walks upright? What kind of strange Monster is that?"
This uncertain magical girl seemed quite wistful, remarking, "Seriously, Monster these days look increasingly strange."
Forget it, I'll just take a few photos and send them directly to the firm when I get back.
"..."
"Restless arrogance! Transform into a clear shadow False Mask! Condense the sharp coordinates of destiny... Pierce through, pierce through..."
The magical girl hovering above the Monster's head began a long incantation.
The so-called "chanting-based" spells are attacks that are relatively troublesome to unleash, but are extremely powerful.
However, not every "vocal" vocal style has such a long prelude.
Generally speaking, magical girls who habitually use "chanting" techniques will typically limit their chanting to within ten syllables when launching attacks.
They also study a few instant-cast spells or ultimate moves to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.
However, when dealing with Monster, one should chant for as long as possible. After all, the Monster won't attack her during this process.
"Seven cycles of retrograde reversal, seven layers of retrograde reversal, the name of this technique is --"
As the chant continued, accompanied by the expenditure of magic, a massive sphere of destructive light condensed in the air. "Descent..."
Then, just before the incantation was about to be completed, just before the two magical girls responsible for binding suddenly activated the binding spells in their hands.
"Awoo!"
The sudden appearance of the Monster startled the entire four-person team.
The silhouette of the Monster appeared to leap up while opening its gaping maw.
The enormous mouth that was opening towards him.
The magical girl, still chanting, unconsciously continued her incantation, "Summon the sevenfold calamity..."
"Boom!!!"
The giant mouth snapped shut, silencing the chant, and the sphere of light that had condensed in the air vanished instantly...
The binding technique was also completed at the same time.
However, due to the Monster's sudden resistance, it was only able to bind its tail fin... and was quickly freed.
Then, under the watchful eyes of all the magical girls, the headless corpse of their companion symbolized the instantaneous dispelling of the magical girl's dress transformation.
The magic dissipated in the air, transforming into beautiful shapes.
The corpse began to fall towards the ground, blood splattering from its neck, with countless buds of flesh writhing at the neck.
The body, struggling to regenerate its head, exerted all its strength, its heart pounding as it channeled magic towards its neck.
Unfortunately, due to the dissipation of the magical girl's consciousness, her efficiency in utilizing magic has become extremely low, and her self-healing has become difficult to maintain.
"..."
"Kunagi!"
A magical girl shouted this as she flew towards the headless magical girl... She was going to transfer magic power to her companions.
