The Mindless Magical Girl? I Picked Her Up and Remade Her!

Seeing the scene before him, Bai Yu was somewhat surprised. Although he knew Judgment could use the powers she absorbed from Magical Beasts for herself, he had not expected her to not only use their skills, but even materialize them in mechanized form!

What a cool skill! I'm interested... I'm really looking forward to how you'll perform once you come to my side, and what expression Papi will make after losing someone like you.

Gravity Manipulation! (Five Updates, Meow)

"Execution... begins."

The cold voice rang out as Judgment once again took out a card and inserted it into the black device at her waist.

[Read]

The black armor on Judgment's body turned amber. Then, just like the Demon Crocodile Executive, she sank into the ground—

"Whoosh!"

The mechanical scorpion attacked first. It raised its tail, which suddenly extended! The scorpion tail, originally less than five meters long, instantly stretched to twenty meters, curving around the Boulder Golem at incredible speed as it stabbed toward Bai Yu behind it—

But before the scorpion could attack, Bai Yu had already pulled a pitch-black wand resembling a conductor's baton from the magic circle in his palm and pointed it toward the mechanical scorpion.

"Whoosh!"

The instant the scorpion tail attacked, Bai Yu fiercely swung his wand downward. Invisible gravity immediately crushed down on the tail, pinning it to the ground and leaving it unable to move!

Then Bai Yu casually swung his wand toward Crimson Blade. Before she could react, Crimson Blade felt as if her right arm had been filled with lead. Her entire arm became unbearably heavy!

"This guy... can manipulate gravity too?"

Feeling the immense gravity bearing down on her arm, Crimson Blade lost her balance and dropped to one knee. Her right hand even smashed a small crater into the ground!

"Leave the stage now."

Watching Crimson Blade get restrained in an instant, Bai Yu indifferently controlled the Boulder Golem to grab the scorpion tail from the ground, dragging over the mechanical scorpion that was still flailing in the distance, ready to hurl it at Crimson Blade—

"Whoosh!"

Yet at that very moment, Judgment silently appeared behind Bai Yu. Still invisible, she drew a short sword about the length of a forearm from her palm and accurately, swiftly stabbed it into Bai Yu's back—

"Huh?"

Crimson Blade, who had been raising her left arm to prepare for battle, saw a hole suddenly open in Bai Yu's chest in the distance. Her eyes filled with disbelief!

The Monster Leader... had been killed that easily? If he did not possess the ability to transfer his Magic Core, then that strike should indeed have taken his life! Monsters died once their Magic Cores were destroyed—there had been no exceptions to that rule so far!

But... could things really be that simple?

Still, Crimson Blade's intuition proved to be quite good. Bai Yu had naturally not been killed by that sword. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the invisible sword tip protruding from his chest, saying leisurely, "Not bad~~~ A strike that completely conceals killing intent while invisible, and is both swift and precise. An ordinary monster would probably have its Magic Core pierced and die before it could even react, right?"

"..."

Hearing Bai Yu still able to speak, Judgment's eyes beneath her helmet blinked in confusion... Then she realized something: that stab had not felt like it hit a Magic Core at all!

Impossible. Lord Papi said this Monster Leader was not of a species capable of transferring its Magic Core, didn't he? How could he not have a Magic Core? Could it be...

"Abnormal status detected. This unit—"

But before Judgment could finish her muttering, Bai Yu before her suddenly exploded! A magic circle burst out from his body, and countless purple chains shot from it, tightly binding Judgment's body!

"Boom!"

The Boulder Golem's massive fist followed immediately after, giving Judgment no time to think. With a thunderous crash, her body was sent flying several meters away!

"Bzzzzz..."

Since that blow had struck her head, even with her helmet protecting her, the Executioner's head buzzed violently. Several cracks had also appeared on her helmet from the strike...

"Violet Corrosive Venom—meow!"

The instant Judgment landed, Meng Yue, who had been waiting for some time, followed up with an attack! The corrosive venom sprayed from her mouth struck the Executioner's helmet, sending up clouds of white smoke...

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

The sound of venom corroding metal rang endlessly. Meanwhile, Crimson Blade gritted her teeth and concentrated all her magic power into her right arm, forcibly breaking through the Gravity Magic imposed on it!

"I will never... let that happen again!"

As she spoke through gritted teeth, Crimson Blade spread open her left hand. A red hilt actually extended from her left palm. Then, just like Bai Yu, Crimson Blade pulled a platinum katana from her left palm with her right hand!

"So that's it. She's like Master too."

Looking toward Crimson Blade, Meng Yue murmured softly, "Master prepares magic circles before battle, while she prepares weapons in advance... Is she copying Master's techniques?"

But that was not the most important issue... Meng Yue, who once possessed Purification magic power, could not have been clearer about the magic power attribute contained within Crimson Blade's katana!

"Master... Crimson Blade actually made a katana with Purification magic power!"

Her cat ears twitching, Meng Yue said in alarm, "I never thought her magic power trait could even accomplish something like this—"

"Stay away from her!"

The next second, Crimson Blade raised her platinum katana and slashed fiercely toward Meng Yue! A platinum blade of light struck Meng Yue's chest at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow. Purification magic power corroded a vertical hole through her chest, taking the Magic Core within it with it!

It may not be as powerful as Sister Meng Yue's... but this strike is enough to kill you!

Watching that hateful Cat Monster fall stiffly to the ground in the distance, Crimson Blade could not help recalling Meng Yue's Purification Magic, which could make large numbers of monsters vanish on the spot with a single blow. She could only partially purify the place struck by her blade light. She was still nowhere near Sister Meng Yue!

"Anyway... that's one down."

Crimson Blade muttered as the platinum katana in her hand began to crack after that slash. Before long, it crumbled into dust and dispersed into the air.

"But... this one should be able to revive, so even killing her cannot count as revenge. Only killing the Monster Leader can end everything."

She casually threw away the crumbling hilt, then raised her hand again and pulled another platinum katana from her palm. Unlike when she saw the Monster Leader pierced through and had doubts, she was utterly certain that the female monster had died at her hands.

After all, she had seen with her own eyes the female monster's chest being pierced open, the living Magic Core inside swallowed by white light. But killing that female monster here could at most be considered reducing their combat power, so Crimson Blade felt no joy at succeeding in her revenge.

I have to find the Monster Leader and kill him! I have to—

"Detected... recovery of feline monster life signs."

Beastification Begins

"Huh?"

However, Crimson Blade then heard that voice come from Judgment's direction. Thanks to Crimson Blade's help, Judgment had regained her senses and was using the holes in her palms to suck in the venom while speaking.

"Click."

Then, a palm-sized purple card popped out from the armor on Judgment's arm. But just as she was about to insert it into herself... a cat paw suddenly shot out!

"Don't think you can use my power every time, meow~~~"

At incredible speed, the paw snatched the card from Judgment's hand. Meng Yue turned to look at the dumbfounded Crimson Blade... stuck out her tongue, and made a thoroughly nasty face at her!

"Wah!"

She wasn't dead... How was that possible? How could a monster whose Magic Core had been destroyed not die?

Looking at the completely unharmed Meng Yue before her, Crimson Blade felt as if she had fallen into an ice pit... Her face was full of disbelief!

If even shattering the Magic Core could not kill her, didn't that mean she could never be killed? Even if the Monster Leader died, it would be the same...

"Bang!"

"Ah—"

Just as Crimson Blade was overcome by helplessness, the Boulder Golem seized the chance and punched her squarely in the body! That heavy punch sent her flying with her eyes shut and mouth open. After flying a great distance, she rolled several more meters across the ground before lying motionless, unconscious. Even her transformation was dispelled along with it.

Rolling across the ground in a miserable state, Crimson Blade's figure changed from the mature, voluptuous form she had taken during transformation back into her original little girl body. Her neatly tied twin ponytails had been knocked loose, and she had even lost one shoe... revealing a small foot wrapped in white stockings.

"What an opportunity!"

After Xinghua, the Purple Phantom Poison Cat's revival ability had fooled her little sister too! Bai Yu naturally would not let this chance go. He immediately gave the shameless order, "Capture her and use her as a hostage!"

"Whoosh!"

Meng Yue immediately leaped forward, grabbed Crimson Blade by the back of her collar, and lifted her disheveled body up like a cat. She then aimed her sharp claws at Crimson Blade's throat.

"Cancel your transformation, meow~~~"

Lightly scraping her claw tips against Crimson Blade's neck, Meng Yue giggled as she threatened, "Otherwise, I'll make your partner—"

But before Meng Yue could finish, Judgment acted as though she had not heard the threat at all. She pulled two more cards from her body with a swift motion and inserted them into her handgun one after the other...

[Read—Seven-Star Tyrannosaur]

[Read—Snowland Demon Bear]

Judgment then raised her handgun, aiming its glowing muzzle at Meng Yue while completely ignoring Crimson Blade, whom she was using as a hostage.

"Wait, meow!"

Seeing Judgment react like that, Meng Yue was somewhat surprised. She instinctively cried out, "You don't care about your partner's life at all? Can you still call yourself a Magical Girl?"

"This unit has no partners."

In response, Judgment used her emotionless voice to say something that would surely have deeply hurt Crimson Blade if she were awake! She calmly said, "This unit judges that... there is no need to terminate the mission."

[Summon] ×2

With that, Judgment pulled the trigger twice in succession. Two spheres of light shot from the muzzle. As the light flashed... two enormous figures appeared!

"Roar!!!" ×2

On the left stood a ten-meter-tall Mechanical Tyrannosaurus! On the right stood a five-meter-tall Mechanical White Bear! The two massive, dark silhouettes crashed onto the ground, making even a cowardly cat like Meng Yue, who did not dare face enemies head-on, want to run away!

Honestly, even when I was a Magical Girl, I probably couldn't beat these two powerful mechanized Magical Beasts, right? Especially the Seven-Star Tyrannosaur... Although I always ate its meat, this thing was actually pretty strong!

"Master... why don't we just grab Crimson Blade and run away, meow!"

As she spoke, Meng Yue tried to activate teleportation magic. But no matter how long she activated it, nothing happened...

"I didn't expect it... This girl secretly set up an Isolation Formation at some point too. Now this is interesting."

At that moment, Bai Yu suddenly appeared beside Meng Yue. He reached out and patted her head, saying, "Then now, as we discussed before... begin!"

"B-but, those two mechanical Magical Beasts look so strong!"

Pointing at the imposing Mechanical Tyrannosaurus and Mechanical White Bear, Meng Yue muttered uncertainly, "Can I really..."

"Trust me."

With a powerful enemy before them, Bai Yu still had the leisure to pinch Meng Yue's cheek. In a tone brimming with confidence, he said, "When it comes to this... just trust your Master!"

"Meow!"

Hearing her Master speak with such confidence, Meng Yue immediately nodded! She then tossed little Crimson Blade far away, crouched down with both paws on the ground, raised her rear high into the air, and wore an expression like an angry cat with its fur standing on end!

What is this?

The eyes beneath Judgment's helmet blinked. She was somewhat confused by Meng Yue's behavior. After all, based solely on combat power, the two of them could not possibly defeat the two mechanical Magical Beasts she had summoned. To be safe, she also took out a card...

[Read—Abyss Scorpion]

But this time, Judgment did not insert the Abyss Scorpion card into her handgun. Instead, she directly inserted it into the device on her belt, and the black device issued a mechanical voice.

[Demon Armor Upgrade]

The next second, a purple mechanical scorpion identical to the one before appeared beside Judgment. Then the mechanical scorpion drove its tail stinger forcefully into Judgment's chest—

"Crack!"

The instant the tail stinger struck, the mechanical scorpion split apart into countless armor plates, which all equipped themselves onto Judgment's body!

Thus, a new suit of armor covered the cracked black armor she already wore. Judgment donned armor formed from Beast Power to ensure the Monster Leader would not find an opportunity to seize her.

Judging from the behavior patterns of the Monster Leader and that female monster earlier, Judgment had already analyzed that their goal was likely to destroy her helmet. Although she did not know what destroying her helmet would accomplish, Judgment decided to take precautions for now...

But at that moment, Meng Yue's cat eyes suddenly bloomed with dense purple light! She then bared her little mouth, tilted her head toward the sky, and let out a string of bestial cat roars!

"Meow~~~!!!"

The next second, vast amounts of purple poisonous gas burst from Meng Yue's body! It tightly wrapped around her entire form, and the dense fog prevented Judgment from seeing what was happening inside.

But immediately afterward... the mass of fog, originally only human-sized, began expanding at a visible rate! It was as though whatever was inside was swelling and growing along with the fog.
