Borrowing the Tiger's Skin to Wave a Big Flag

"I don't think you need to apologize."

As she spoke, Cong Yu looked at the two ravaged magical girls, then glanced up at the increasingly fierce Cat Shark Freak.

It seemed to be even stronger than before, its movements becoming faster and its biting more ferocious.

The two magical girls who had just been resurrected in the sky were being forced into retreat...

That Cat Shark Freak has gotten stronger, but I wonder if the level of its magic leakage has increased...

Did you use an overload of materials, thus doubling your attack power?

Cong Yu pondered this, silently putting his hands in his pockets, watching the arduous battle not far away.

The less seriously injured magical girl quietly waited for her injuries to heal while speaking to Cong Yu—

"That..."

As she said this, she hesitated for a moment...

The companion who just "resurrected" said to her, "[The King of Wind City doesn't care about his royal status, pay attention to how you phrase it]," or "[The King of Wind City cares a lot about his royal status, pay attention to how you phrase it]"?

Somewhat uncertain, she spoke.

"His Majesty?"

"..." Your Majesty, my foot! That guy who called me "My Lord" was already outrageous enough, how did you become even more outrageous...

Are all magical girls these days a bit weird?

"I am a modern person, so just communicate with me in a modern way."

Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, the magical girl realized she had misremembered, but the King of Wind City didn't seem very angry.

Thank goodness, this was the first time she had ever met such a kind-hearted oddball.

This must be the magnanimity of a true king!

We need to retreat.

The magical girl continued, then defended her team. "That Monster was clearly strange. I'm sorry, but we weren't capable enough."

"The barrier around Wind City should hold for a while... Our phones were all eaten, we'll try to contact other teams to come afterward."

Indeed, if it were just Monster of this level, it wouldn't even take a day and a night to break through the barrier.

However, Cong Yu didn't want to eat dinner while having food shoved into her face because of the tremors in Wind City.

"Let those two come back here..."

As Cong Yu said this, he speechlessly drew the Sword of the Seven Emperors from thin air and rested the hilt on his shoulder. "I've taken care of it myself."

Cong Yu said this.

The two magical girls looked delighted and immediately called their companions over, "Kunagi, Doi... come here quickly!"

"The King of Wind City intends to resolve this personally. He has already drawn his sword. Be careful not to get caught in the crossfire! The King carries his sword! The King carries his sword!"

At their call, the two magical girls who had been trying to lure the Catshark Monster away were clearly pleased and flew over with relief.

Cong Yu: "..."

I'm speechless.

"Once we get back, have the Magical Girl Association investigate anything about sentient Monster, and just say it was me who said it."

As Cong Yu spoke, driven by magic, a certain spell on the Sword of the Seven Emperors was instantly activated.

"Sizzle!! Crackling sound!!"

An extremely dazzling golden lightning flashed instantly onto the blade, accompanied by a burst of light that began to emit a bluish-purple hue.

Cong Yu gripped the sword, which had almost become "plasma" itself.

One could even say that he was holding, barely retaining the shape of a "sword," and that the lightning itself, which could be recognized as the original form of a sword, was emanating from it.

"However, the association shouldn't take it too seriously. Even if they can't find out, there's no need to panic... Magical girls these days tend to overthink things."

This was done to prevent the Magical Girl Association from immediately launching a full-scale investigation after "receiving the imperial decree."

Then he prioritized his orders, sending magical girls to investigate the vicinity of Monster regardless of their fate... and so on.

Cong Yu felt that if she didn't remind them, similar incidents could easily happen. "I'm actually very kind."

This is how I describe myself...

Cong Yu noticed that the Cat Shark Monster rushed towards him almost immediately after the magical girl escaped to this side.

Instead of attacking the barrier of Wind City like normal Monster would, it did not.

This Monster knew that without dealing with the troublemakers, he wouldn't be able to successfully shatter the barrier and then feast on the Spirit Vein.

"Clever... but clearly not clever enough."

Making this assessment, Cong Yu leaned on the Sword of the Seven Emperors in his hand and said calmly, "That brave Monster that charged forward, does it have any courage?"

Magical Girl X4: "..."

It seemed that Cong Yu's question went unanswered, and he hadn't expected any answer anyway, "No, I don't think so."

As Cong Yu said this, she seemed to be saying it casually, "It's like a praying mantis raising its arm to stop a wheel."

"The praying mantis crushed by a wheel cannot be called brave... because it is ignorant; it does not know the extent of the wheel's force."

"Only those who understand the gap, comprehend and overcome their fear, and still decide to launch an attack, deserve to be called brave."

"..." Looking at the rapidly approaching Cat Shark, a magical girl, Cong Yu, who had said this, felt that what Cong Yu said might indeed have some merit, but...

Help! We're going to die!!

Cong Yu didn't keep them worried for long. He gently raised his hand, and then in the next instant...

The Giant Serpent, moving at breakneck speed, swiftly traveled from left to right, transforming into a "wall" that blocked the path of the Catshark Monster's charge.

The Cat Shark stared in astonishment at the appearance of the Giant Serpent. Before it could brake, it was instantly caught on the Giant Serpent's body and carried away to the right.

"Meow!!!"

After letting out a roar, the Catshark Monster stood up and shook its head. But then the rumble of a train could be heard.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble--"

"Rumble, rumble, rumble--"

"Rumble rumble--"

The second, third, and fourth Giant Serpent to appear, and countless trains of Giant Serpent transformed into constantly moving walls.

Trains kept passing around it, forming a three-dimensional "well" shape, trapping it inside.

Whether it's the sky, the earth, or any direction around us.

Everything was completely blocked.

"Awooo!!!"

Sensing danger, the Catshark Monster immediately realized it needed to escape its predicament as quickly as possible, and it charged towards a snake with all its might.

Then...

"Bang bang bang..."

Through the somewhat ethereal body of the Giant Serpent, the four magical girls could clearly see the Cat Shark bouncing back and forth due to the impact of the Giant Serpent.

Within the confined space, the Catshark Monster Giant Serpent to be...

Both were billiard balls struck by super-force...

It bounces endlessly on the pool table.

At the same time, because the snakes were constantly adding power, the Catshark Monster bounced around faster and faster, almost becoming a phantom.

"Meow!!!!!"

Amidst a piercing scream, the intelligent Catshark Monster was clearly injured, and a distinct black mist began to emanate from its body.

Then, as a conclusion...

A burst of intense lightning suddenly struck down, almost splitting the earth in two.

"Seeing this sword is like seeing Takemikazuchi Thunder."

Chapter 132 Using someone else's skin to make a big deal out of nothing

"A sentient Monster..."

The man in the white coat and glasses became interested in Qili's words. "The King of Wind City also specified 'beast-shaped Monster,' that's quite interesting."

Qili didn't seem particularly curious about his words, simply saying, "There's nothing interesting about it. That king clearly has a lot of knowledge about humanoid Monster."

The existence of humanoid Monster was not widely known, but for Qili, a member of the Magical Girl Association's Council of Elders, it wasn't exactly a secret.

Although many people consider that to be at the level of urban legends...

However, the dark silhouette of the human figure was still quite conspicuous, and there were quite a few eyewitness accounts, some of which were reported as cases.

"However, this is the first time I've heard that humanoid Monster are born because they obtain the power of Monster... and monsters can also obtain the power of Monster."

The man adjusted his glasses, looking quite moved. "It seems the King of Wind City has provided us with excellent intelligence first."

Moreover, even from his perspective, the King of Wind City showed no malice; in fact, he appeared quite benevolent.

The four magical girls who "escaped" from the clutches of the King of Wind City seem to have even received a lollipop from the King of Monsters.

Judging from the lollipops and the previous cake gift boxes...

That king must really like sweets.

This is worth recording, so that in the future, whoever angers the King of Wind City can use this to decide what to send as an apology...

If he hadn't been killed on the spot.

"However, a 'beast-like' Monster with a brain... this seems to be the first time I've ever heard of such a thing. I feel I need to inform the squads below about this."

As Qili said this, the male researcher smiled contemptuously, "Pass it on... how many people will obediently pass it on?"

Qili was aware of this as well.

Given the efficiency of the association headquarters, it will probably take a year or two before the message reaches all the Magical Girl Office.

There will also be some malicious individuals causing trouble.

Whenever there's new research, news, or discovery, the people at the association headquarters always seem very resistant... They're unwilling to accept new things.

Even "new things" are not a problem that can be solved by simply "not accepting" them.

It can only be said that everyone is resisting change.

Only when the situation becomes so serious that they have no choice but to do something about it will these hesitant individuals reluctantly shuffle their feet.

Move aside slightly to make way for the person who can handle things.

Every time, Qili would curse inwardly—"Stupid Japan, stupid association."

However, Qili already had a plan.

"I will act under the banner of the King of Wind City."

The man was taken aback by Qili's words, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's obviously very effective, but you... you have quite the nerve."

This is about sacrificing oneself for righteousness!

If the King of Wind City catches her, she's definitely not going to get any good juice.

"Investigating sentient, beast-like Monster was his order, so I wouldn't be considered disobeying him, would I?"

Indeed, but this is tantamount to wielding a heavy authority like a tiger's feather... a pure case of a fox borrowing the tiger's power.
