The Mindless Magical Girl? I Picked Her Up and Remade Her! Chapter 38

Volume One: Chapter 86: Leader Skill: Contract Lock!

Beastification... could be considered the trump card of the Monsters. When they used Beastification, that Monster would transform into a Magical Beast!

It could also be called revealing their true form... In Magical Beast form, they would no longer possess the rational awareness or humanoid body they had as Monsters. In exchange, however, they gained an enormous boost in magical power and physical strength!

When Judgment realized Meng Yue was about to undergo Beastification, her expression became somewhat subtle. In her heart, she had never considered Beastification a particularly powerful skill. Even if it granted immense power for a time... irrational mad beasts were actually much easier to deal with!

After all, Beastified Monsters attacked everything they saw with pure instinct! In other words... that female Monster would soon attack even her own Monster Leader!

"Hehehe~~~~~ Slaughter! Destruction! Tear everything to pieces! Let everything break! Meowr!!!"

Hearing the frenzied female voice from within the fog, completely devoid of humanity, Judgment did not take the opportunity to command the two mechanical Magical Beasts to attack while Meng Yue transformed. She merely stood there expressionlessly and watched...

Normally, Beastification was simply a Monster's body expanding and changing. Their humanoid form would forcibly transform into a beast form... the kind that burst through their clothes.

However, Meng Yue's Beastification differed from the norm. Perhaps because she had not been born a Monster. Having become one through transformation by a Magic Core, she Beastified in another manner...

Dense purple magical power formed bones and flesh within the poisonous mist, creating the body of a Magical Beast. About a minute later, an enormous cat paw stepped out of the purple fog...

Then, the purple mist enveloping its body dispersed, revealing the Magical Beast hidden behind it. It was a massive purple cat standing three meters tall. Its sharp, elongated claws gleamed coldly, its entire body was covered in thick purple fur, and eight slender cat tails swayed restlessly behind it.

This was the true form of the Purple Phantom Poison Cat. Seeing Meng Yue successfully complete her Beastification, Bai Yu revealed a gratified smile beside her feet.

Because at that moment, Meng Yue's Magic Core had been completely contaminated by purple. Not even the slightest trace of its original appearance remained.

"Not bad~~~ You've finally reached the stage of complete corruption! Honestly... when I think about what you used to look like, I feel so delighted now!!!"

Was this guy trying to get himself killed?

Watching Bai Yu recklessly offer his thoughts, Judgment found it difficult to understand. Monster Leader, did you not know that your subordinate would attack even you once she went berserk?

"Meowr!!!"

Sure enough... Meng Yue had become completely irrational after Beastification! Upon hearing Bai Yu's praise, she did not make her usual happy sound. Instead, her cat eyes, gleaming with ferocity, instinctively turned toward Bai Yu---

Foolish Monster Leader. If you had kept quiet and said nothing, perhaps it would have noticed the much larger Seven-Star Tyrannosaur first. Then you would not have been attacked by your own subordinate right away.

Coldly watching the purple giant cat raise its paw toward Bai Yu on the ground, Judgment found it rather absurd. But since this Monster Leader insisted on courting death, she certainly would not stop him. She just wondered whether he was another fake without a Magic Core...

Yet at that moment, Bai Yu raised his right hand. The black emblem on the back of his hand began to shine! Then, beneath that light... Meng Yue, who had been ruled by her killing instincts and about to attack Bai Yu, stopped her descending cat paw!

"Do you know? Every Monster Leader possesses a special skill unique to themselves."

As if speaking to himself, Bai Yu said softly, "I've never displayed this skill before. Papi has probably long forgotten about it too..."

A unique special skill?

Upon hearing that, Judgment instinctively searched through the information in her mind. She remembered there was intelligence on this in the database... Every Monster Leader had a unique Leader Skill.

Could it be--

"This is my unique skill: Contract Lock!"

The next second, an enormous black iron collar fastened itself around the purple giant cat's neck! Bai Yu then extended his hand, and a string of black chains stretched out from the back of the collar, reaching all the way to his side.

Bai Yu clenched his hand and grabbed the end of the chain! At that very instant, clarity appeared in the cat eyes that had been filled with violence. The feline Magical Beast, which had been in a berserk state just moments ago, actually let out a gentle sound like a house cat!

"Meowr~~~"

Lowering her body, the purple giant cat blinked at Bai Yu and gently rubbed her fluffy head against him.

"Whoosh!"

Then Bai Yu grabbed the chain and leaped upward. He mounted the purple giant cat's back, adjusted the chain to a suitable length, and smiled in Judgment's direction.

"Powerful strength that can only be used at the cost of going berserk is now so easily controlled by me."

Looking at Judgment, who had frozen in place, Bai Yu asked teasingly, "So... aren't you running??"

"This unit... has not yet determined that retreat is necessary."

However, Bai Yu had not expected Judgment to answer him so seriously. Then she issued a command in her mind... At once, the Mechanical Seven-Star Tyrannosaur opened its massive jaws toward Bai Yu and spat out seven golden-red fireballs!

Firing seven highly destructive fireballs in succession was the Seven-Star Tyrannosaur's signature move, and the reason for its name. But against those machine-gun-like fireballs, Bai Yu merely gave the black chain in his hand a light tug...

"Whoosh!"

Carrying Bai Yu on her back, the purple giant cat darted aside at incredible speed. The seven fireballs exploded behind them in a blaze of flames! Following up the Seven-Star Tyrannosaur's attack, the Mechanical White Bear slammed its thick paw against the ground. Ice formed across the earth and spread toward the purple giant cat--

Come to think of it, Crimson Blade was still unconscious over there, right? This woman really did not care about the other Magical Girls at all?

With that thought, Bai Yu instinctively turned his head to look... only to discover that Crimson Blade, who had been lying on the ground, had vanished at some point!

When had she woken up? No, with injuries like those, she should not have awakened so soon... Forget it. Crimson Blade was insignificant. There was no need to worry about her for now!

"Whoosh!"

A great amount of purple mist spilled from the purple giant cat's body and wrapped around her entire form...

Volume One: Chapter 87: The Executioner Girl Became Strange

"Whoosh!"

Before the ice spread beneath the purple giant cat's feet, her body, entirely enveloped in purple mist, vanished from the spot like a phantom, leaving only a purple afterimage...

The Purple Phantom Poison Cat could freely control the purple poisonous gas formed by her own magical power. Therefore, using a cloud of poison gas to envelop herself and accelerate her speed, or even fly, was no difficult task. It was like how someone who could control sand could use it as floating platforms to let themselves fly through the air. The principle was the same.

"Searching for execution target's location... expanding search range..."

Looking around, Judgment began sensing for Bai Yu's location. Could it be that despite his arrogant words, the execution target had actually used that purple cat's agility to flee the scene?

Of course, that was understandable. Even if the Monster Leader could command a powerful Magical Beast, the mechanized Seven-Star Tyrannosaur and Snowland Demon Bear were not easy opponents. There really was no need for the execution target to fight to the death--

But Judgment did not realize that Bai Yu naturally understood that as well...

"Scritch--"

While the Executioner Girl was still searching widely for Bai Yu's trail, sharp cat claws quietly slashed across her helmet. That attack... actually cut two cracks through both layers of the helmet!

This was--

When she saw the purple cat before her, less than a meter tall at the shoulder and about the size of a small cheetah, the Executioner Girl's pupils contracted! She had never imagined that the purple giant cat Meng Yue had transformed into could freely alter her size! Judgment had been searching for large concentrations of magical power all along---

"Whoosh!"

With a piercing sound, the mechanical scorpion tail at Judgment's lower back stabbed toward the purple cat before her! But at such close range, how could her speed compare to Meng Yue's in her fully Beastified state?

"Crack!"

Dodging the scorpion tail, Meng Yue raised her paw and gave Judgment a hard slap! The helmet, already cracked by the claws, could not withstand such a blow. It shattered into fragments, exposing the doll-like, delicate face of the Executioner Girl beneath.

The Executioner Girl's pale cheek had swollen red. It was obvious that even through the helmet, the slap had struck her quite heavily. For a moment, her head spun from the blow, and the words coming out of her mouth turned into incoherent nonsense...

"This unit... has been attacked... unexpected... in confusion..."

Judgment muttered unsteadily to herself. Meng Yue naturally did not care about that. She pounced on the Executioner Girl from behind, tightly locking her limbs with both hands and feet. She even thoughtfully used her cat claws to clamp down on Judgment's left hand...

Finally...

Seeing the Executioner Girl with her helmet shattered, limbs restrained, and forehead forcibly aimed toward him, Bai Yu focused and circulated his magical power. He then raised a finger and pressed it to Judgment's forehead, gathering black magical power at his fingertip--

"Unknown magic... effect unclear... ignore..."

Judgment seemed not to have recovered from the slap yet, and she was still muttering those lines. Then the black beam shot into her forehead. At that moment, an uncontrollable dazed expression appeared on the Executioner Girl's face, which had never before shown such rich emotion!

How was it?

Watching Judgment's unfocused eyes and slightly parted lips, Bai Yu tugged the chain with his left hand... Meng Yue immediately released Judgment and obediently returned to Bai Yu's side.

"Let's observe the effect, shall we?"

As he casually stroked the cat head beside him, Bai Yu watched Judgment, who had been struck by that Forbidden Magic, with anticipation. His mind recalled what that senior had written in the book.

[Without a doubt, after this, that Executioner Girl will fall in love with you. By then... there will be only you in her heart.]

Would it really work? Could it make this Executioner Girl, who according to records possessed no human emotions and only obeyed Papi's commands, cold and ruthless like a machine, fall in love with me... even make me the only one in her heart?

Holding such expectations, Bai Yu stared intently at Judgment's face. Then... light suddenly returned to the Executioner Girl's eyes.

Yet when she looked at Bai Yu, her gaze was not the loving, affectionate look Bai Yu had expected... Judgment instead stared fixedly at Bai Yu's face with an utterly unwilling gaze, as if she wanted to carve his face into her heart!

"To make an invincible warrior like me look so miserable and humiliated..."

Her jade-like white teeth gently bit her pink lips as the Executioner Girl spoke in a voice filled with emotion. "Monster Leader... I absolutely will not let you off so easily!"

"Boom!"

As she spoke, the two mechanical Magical Beasts that had been standing idle behind her turned around and prepared to attack Bai Yu on the ground--

"Bang!"

But the Mechanical White Bear was ambushed by the Boulder Golem, which had likewise been idle for a long time. A heavy stone fist smashed half its mechanical body into pieces! The Seven-Star Tyrannosaur, meanwhile, had its jaw grabbed by the Boulder Golem's other hand, causing all seven of its fireballs to shoot into the sky!

"Damn Monster Leader... you actually noticed my intention again~~~"

The Executioner Girl looked toward Bai Yu. Although her face remained expressionless, her tone alone had become rich with emotion!

Wait... what was with that weird tone??

"Monster Leader... next time, I will definitely defeat you! I absolutely will!! No matter what means I have to use, I will--"

After throwing out such furious brat-like words, Judgment's body suddenly flashed with white light. The next second, she vanished from the spot!

Teleportation magic I have never seen before? But I had set up an isolation barrier around this area. Teleportation magic should not have been able to activate...

Narrowing his eyes, Bai Yu remembered Crimson Blade, whom he had previously overlooked and forgotten... Could she have also been teleported away by this new type of teleportation magic?

The purple cat's body began changing the next second. After the purple cat returned to her original human-sized form, purple light flashed... and Meng Yue smoothly changed from her Magical Beast form back into her Monster form!

Ordinary Monsters would probably be shocked to see this. Beastification had always been regarded as a desperate trump card not only because Magical Beast forms were difficult to control, but also because Beastification could not be ended at will!

Under normal circumstances, one could only go mad and exhaust all the magical power in their body... or be beaten into severe injury before being forced to revert to Monster form. Meng Yue was the first in Monster history to return to Monster form so gently!

Volume One: Chapter 88: Learn from the Monster Leader

"Crack!"

Then, the black collar around Meng Yue's neck suddenly shattered. Bai Yu felt the world spin around him, and he instinctively fell onto Meng Yue's Naxue Nai's white breasts. He grabbed Meng Yue's hand and pressed it against his aching head...

"M-Master? Are you okay??"

Seeing Bai Yu looking so exhausted, Meng Yue paid absolutely no attention to what Bai Yu was doing to her body. Instead, she asked anxiously, "How is it? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere, meow?"

"I'm fine. I just used up too much magical power."

Bai Yu explained, "I can prepare other magic in advance, but this unique skill cannot be stored in any magic circle beforehand. The Leader himself has to cast it on the spot... so it is unexpectedly exhausting."

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Looking at Bai Yu leaning against her white breasts with an exhausted expression, Meng Yue said with some heartache, "If I could control my consciousness after Beastification, you would not have needed to specifically control me..."

"Alright! Instead of saying that, why not go back and soak in a hot spring with me!"

Rubbing Meng Yue's chest, Bai Yu said leisurely, "No Monster can retain their mind after Beastification... not even me. You do not need to blame yourself over something like this!"

"That's true!"

Hearing Bai Yu comfort her like that, Meng Yue stopped dwelling on it! She had only been distressed because she feared something might happen to her beloved Master. But seeing how much strength Bai Yu still had in his hands, it was obvious that he was full of energy! Thus, she returned to her usual carefree self...

"Then... let's go back and take a bath!"

Shaking her cat ears, Meng Yue immediately said excitedly, "I want the best bathing room! Since I'll be with Lord Leader... we can't use somewhere too shabby, right?"

"Granted! Besides, given your contributions today, you can use the highest-grade facilities for several days afterward if you want!"

"Really? That's great!~ I love Master the most, meow!"

Compared to Bai Yu's joyful atmosphere, the mood in the rented apartment on the other side was extremely solemn. The Executioner Girl, having released her transformation, lowered her head... Meanwhile, Crimson Blade had only just awakened on the sofa beside her, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand and having no idea what had happened.

"You're saying..."

The white plush doll floating in the air asked in disbelief, "That Monster Leader's Leader Skill is controlling Magical Beasts?"

"That's right."
