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

Xiao Nai had actually become that strong already... When the Monster Leader said it, I still found it hard to believe. Was this really that apprentice Magical Girl who only knew how to swing a tachi before?

Looking at Crimson Blade holding a flaming tachi, Xinghua thought to herself: How had this girl changed so much? Could it be that just because I disappeared... it had such a huge impact on my little sister?

At that thought, Xinghua actually felt a trace of guilt. Her hands inside the Dog-Claw Armor trembled slightly, and she suddenly had the urge to take off her mask and tell her little sister that she was actually fine...

But that thought only flashed through her mind for an instant. The next second, Xinghua charged straight at Crimson Blade!

If I ruin the Monster Leader's plan here, I won't be able to get my revenge! Nothing matters more than revenge! Besides, Xiao Nai can benefit from this revenge too!

I refuse to believe you've never hated our biological parents, who beat and abused us since childhood before selling us off!

For now, I should focus on farming points off my foolish little sister! It would have been easy for the old Crimson Blade to farm points from her, but now that Crimson Blade had grown stronger, I had to go all out—

Crimson Blade's total magical power should still be lacking. That meant she couldn't use much magic to enhance her strength! Meanwhile, my body has been enhanced by Beast Power. I still have the advantage in close combat!

Besides—

Whoosh!

The moment Crimson Blade raised her sword with her right hand, Xinghua opened her mouth and spat out an ice spike! The flying spike struck the red gauntlet around Crimson Blade's wrist with perfect accuracy. Before she could swing her sword, Crimson Blade felt her right hand go numb... and the flaming tachi flew straight out of her grasp!

I know your sword-swinging patterns far too well. Even with my eyes closed, I could interrupt your windup just by listening to the sound!

Thinking smugly to herself, Xinghua smoothly closed in on Crimson Blade. Then she raised her Dog-Claw Armor, coated in a thick layer of ice, and mercilessly slammed it into Crimson Blade's stomach!

Bang!

With a muffled impact, Crimson Blade staggered back two steps from the claw strike! Xinghua immediately pursued her and struck her stomach with another claw, sending her stumbling unsteadily...

That should have farmed quite a few points. Now for one more hit!

Take this—Ice Prison Freezing Breath!

4/6

Sigh, I really can't keep up like before. I can't finish all the updates in one go anymore... Sorry, I can only push the time back a little. Of course, they'll still count as yesterday's updates!

Volume One: Chapter 106 — I Won't Let You Become a Partner of Justice!

In an instant, a massive surge of icy breath rushed toward Crimson Blade, engulfing her from head to toe! At this distance, if she took the attack head-on, then even if Xinghua deliberately weakened its power... Crimson Blade would lose her ability to fight on the spot!

After all, Xinghua would never freeze her own little sister into an ice sculpture. She only wanted to stiffen her whole body with ice. But Xinghua had not expected Crimson Blade to immediately steady herself after taking two steps back, then swiftly raise a greatshield!

The golden-red greatshield was large enough to hide Crimson Blade's entire body behind it. At its center was a dragon-head relief, and the moment Xinghua's icy breath touched the shield's surface... it was completely absorbed by the dragon's mouth!

"???"

Xinghua stared at her little sister with unfamiliar eyes. Forget Crimson Blade being unable to recognize her—Xinghua herself could barely recognize her sister anymore! Could someone tell her how someone whose magical trait was [Blade and Sword] had made a shield like that? Was this still the unimaginative little sister she used to know?!

Shlick.

Then... Xinghua saw a sword hilt pop out from the greatshield. Crimson Blade planted one of her long legs on the round shield, stood on its rim, raised both hands, and drew out the longsword embedded in it. At that moment, icy energy coiled around the blade. Clearly, the energy from Xinghua's previous attack had been transferred into that sword!

Whoosh!

The next instant, Crimson Blade wasted no words and slashed at Xinghua! A crescent-shaped ice-blue sword light struck Xinghua directly, and the suddenly erupting chill froze her entire armor in ice instead!

"Was that really all the power it had?"

Seeing that her enemy was only covered in a thin layer of ice, Crimson Blade could not help frowning. The Counterattack Sword she had created, using the Dragon-Mouth Shield as its sheath, could amplify absorbed magic and return it with twice the power!

But she had not expected that the seemingly ultimate icy breath attack from her opponent would only leave a thin layer of ice on her body even after being returned at double strength. In other words... this person had not been trying to kill her?

Why? That had been such a perfect opening... At that range, any monster should have unleashed their strongest attack on her. Could it be?

Frowning... Crimson Blade recalled how, the moment she raised her hand earlier, this woman had spat out an ice spike and interrupted her windup. A bold thought suddenly emerged in her mind!

Could it be... this person could see the future for a certain amount of time??

Sheathed the longsword back into the Dragon-Mouth Greatshield, Crimson Blade stared warily at the unknown monster opposite her. Come to think of it, this person was completely wrapped in armor, so Crimson Blade could not tell what type of monster she was at all!

Meanwhile, after calming down, Xinghua began calculating whether the points she had earned could reach 5,000. She had struck her sister hard with her claws twice, intending to finish with the icy breath... but that attack had been blocked. Now she had no idea whether those two claw strikes alone could earn her 5,000 points.

And that girl had gone and become so strong on her own. If she got in the way when I take my revenge in the future, what then?! Xiao Nai would never forgive those two beasts who didn't deserve to be called parents! But... what if?

What if... she started saying that human matters could only be resolved by humans? What if she refused to let me use the power of Magical Beasts to take revenge? What if she denied my will again...

That stubborn idiot is absolutely capable of something like that!

At that thought, intense irritation surged through Xinghua's heart! And it was not just because of revenge... After seeing her little sister grow stronger, there was an even more important reason for her frustration!

She truly did not want it! She did not want her pure-hearted little sister, who dreamed of being a hero, to become strong!

As her older sister, Xinghua knew it all too well! Her little sister had been too weak before for it to show, but Xinghua knew that if she became strong... Magical Girl Crimson Blade would undoubtedly end up living a mechanical life from then on!

I will never allow you... to become a Partner of Justice!

Complex emotions tangled together in her heart, and Xinghua's eyes suddenly took on a flame-like hue! Then she actually opened her small mouth and breathed a stream of crimson-black fire toward Crimson Blade!

Like flames from hell itself... this fire, infused with enormous magical power, shattered the dragon head on the Dragon-Mouth Greatshield the instant it touched it!

"What—"

Crimson Blade abruptly retreated, her expression startled! This woman had clearly been deliberately using weak attacks just now... so why had she suddenly changed her approach and forcibly shattered the shield?!

The shield she had created definitely had a limit to how much magic it could absorb, and that burst of flame had directly exceeded the Dragon-Mouth Shield's absorption limit. It had barely absorbed anything before the shield was blown apart!

Roar!!!

At that moment, Xinghua's eyes were already filled with violence! She had reached the edge of losing control... and she even let out a roar unlike any she had made before!

The deafening roar left Crimson Blade dizzy on the spot. Being so close to it, she clutched her forehead and felt as though her consciousness was about to scatter. The roar also drew Bai Yu's attention from afar...

"Fire?"

Looking at the crimson-black flames burning on the ground in the distance, Bai Yu could not help feeling surprised. Had Xinghua caused that? But he clearly remembered that when he interrogated Papi, Papi had said Xinghua's Beast Core was an Ice Crystal Snow Wolf's.

Yet the flames Xinghua had breathed out now looked nothing like an Ice Crystal Snow Wolf's skill. Papi in the Judgment Chamber definitely would not have lied to him, which meant even Papi had not known about this?

Smack!

As he thought, a pair of cat claws continuously flashed before his eyes, batting away every Mechanical Rabbit that approached Bai Yu!

However, during the process, Meng Yue's arms were bitten several times by the Mechanical Rabbits. And during that time, Judgment ambushed her three times, one of which directly shattered Meng Yue's Magic Core on the spot!

"A dignified Magical Girl, and all you know is how to use such tricks?"

Having used up one chance to revive, Meng Yue shouted irritably, "If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one properly! Stop using such despicable methods to distract me!"

Her rather restless feline temperament made Meng Yue naturally dislike this kind of passive defensive fighting. But the moment she finished speaking, she discovered in surprise... that this execution officer lady was even angrier than she was!

Though that person's anger did not seem to be directed at her.

5/6 I'll post today's update together with it later!

Volume One: Sorry, I Fell Asleep at Dawn

Sorry, I was supposed to have two updates at dawn, but I somehow fell asleep. That was really... something. I'll definitely make them up during the day!

Can I still update? Come to think of it, things have indeed gotten a little too dark lately... I should change that...

Volume One: Chapter 107 — Are You More Worried About Magical Girls Betraying You?

Even after I've suppressed your subordinates to this extent, you still refuse to spare me a proper glance?

Watching Bai Yu sitting there leisurely... and even turning his gaze toward the distance?

As Judgment continuously raised her summoning gun and fired armored rabbits at Bai Yu, she thought to herself...

I suppose that makes sense... After all, I really haven't posed much of a threat to you so far! I also failed to bombard the building and trouble you just now... That's why you won't look at me directly. You don't even consider me an enemy in your heart, do you?

If that's the case... then I'll kill your cat! You care about her a lot, right? Even if I can't harm your true body, I can shake you by killing the cat you love—

But the instant she thought that, Judgment suddenly realized a problem... Come to think of it, aside from leader-class monsters, monsters could all revive. Simply killing her would still not be enough to shake the Monster Leader's resolve!

Then... then I'll trample her beneath my feet and ravage her! Torture her! Humiliate her! Make her experience a fate worse than death! Then her screams will surely make you look at me, right? You'll definitely remember me, right? You'll definitely see me as a troublesome, hateful enemy, right?

That's right~~~ When the time comes, the Monster Leader will surely look at me with furious, unwilling, yet helpless eyes! Just thinking about that scene... that scene...

Hehehe~~~ Then I'll use that battered, broken cat girl as a hostage to force your true body to appear, just like how you once used Crimson Blade as a hostage! I've studied your tactics carefully. Then I'll knock you down while you're filled with unwillingness!

Hiss!!!

For who knew how many times, a huge amount of white Steam sprayed from Judgment's body. Then she turned an extremely dangerous gaze toward Meng Yue—

!

In an instant, the fur on Meng Yue's cat tail stood on end! Judgment's dangerous eyes were hidden beneath her helmet, but Meng Yue still sensed an intensely dangerous feeling that made cold sweat seep down her back!

"Master! Ten minutes are up!"

Meng Yue was so frightened that she did not even have time to enjoy the joy of completing their bet. She loudly called to Bai Yu, "We've pretty much done what we came to do, so can we head ba—"

Hiss!

Before Meng Yue could finish, a jet of white Steam burst from Judgment's back! The stream propelled Judgment's body forward like a thruster, sending her rapidly before Meng Yue. Then she raised her right hand, wrapped in a mechanical drill, and plunged it into Meng Yue's chest—

Cough—

Meng Yue spat out a mouthful of black blood. With her chest pierced through, she lost another life. But the blood she spat onto Judgment's helmet immediately corroded it, producing great clouds of white smoke!

"I'll kill you, meow!"

With her Magic Core shattered again, Meng Yue finally could not hold back her furious cat cry! The pain caused the beastly nature within her to become impossible to suppress. Her eyes began losing their humanity as boundless purple poison gas poured out from her body, condensing into masses of flesh and bone—

"Beastification again?"

Judgment retreated, but she became calm again at this point. She had already witnessed Beastification's power last time, and she still could not face it alone now...

Fundamentally, I was created to execute traitorous Magical Girls. My combat abilities in other areas were merely incidental...

This is all Papi's fault! Why didn't Papi design me as a Magical Girl specifically meant to defeat the Monster Leader? Compared to the Monster Leader... were you actually more worried that Magical Girls would betray you?

Seriously—this is all that useless person's fault!

[Crimson Blade, retreat.]

At that moment, magical communication sounded beside Crimson Blade's ear. Though Judgment had been swayed by strange emotions earlier, she had not completely lost her calm. She understood that as long as there was life, there was hope! If she got carried away here... and ended up being completely defeated by the Monster Leader, then it would truly be over for her!

Although I can't defeat this Beastified cat girl now, I'm sure I'll find a way later! Just like the Monster Leader... When he faced Magical Girl Meng Yue, who once seemed impossible to defeat, he experienced countless failures and still ultimately defeated her!

The Monster Leader is the most important person to me! So I need to learn from him too! What does failure matter? As long as I can defeat him in the end, isn't that enough?!

With that thought, Judgment decisively released a large amount of Steam as cover, then fled away with remarkable smoothness!

"Huh? Wait..."

Realizing that Judgment had simply left like that, Crimson Blade was still a little slow to react... Weren't we here to rescue someone? We hadn't even caught a glimpse of the person we came to save, and we were retreating just like this?

But... there really did not seem to be another option. If my sister were here, she would probably tell me to retreat too, right? A Beastified Cat Monster was already difficult enough to deal with, and now a female monster wearing Canine Armor had suddenly appeared. The unexpected combat strength had put both of them at an immediate disadvantage!

Thus, Crimson Blade decisively drew a golden longsword. Using the dazzling golden light that erupted from the blade, she instantly vanished from where she stood.

"Phew..."

Xinghua simply watched Crimson Blade disappear. Though she could have used her nose to catch Crimson Blade's scent, then rushed forward with her eyes closed to interrupt the teleportation, she ultimately did not do so.

"You just let her go? Did you get enough points, meow?"

At that moment, Meng Yue, who had returned to her monster form, skipped over. Since she had lost her target, Bai Yu had to come over in person and use the Contract Lock to restore Meng Yue from her Beastification.

"Probably enough. I feel like Crimson Blade's point value is much higher than mine used to be."

Xinghua had already returned to normal as she spoke. Her Magic Core's corruption level had only just passed fifty percent, and she had merely been irritated for a moment, allowing the beastly nature within her to affect her briefly. So she quickly regained her senses.

Afterward, the three of them used teleportation magic to return to their base room. Only then did Meng Yue remove her mask, while Xinghua retracted her armor.

"Now, following the Monster Leader's orders, I still have to fight her while hiding my identity."

Lying on the ground and stretching out all four limbs, Xinghua muttered, "She may not notice, but fighting while having to restrain myself like this... still feels far too inconvenient."

"Sure enough, deep down, you really want your little sister to find out as soon as possible that her big sister has fallen!"

Bai Yu stroked Xinghua's head and said with a smile, "After all, you also really want to see what expression she'll make when she sees you become a Magical Beast, right?"

6/6 One more update to make up for it!
