Chapter 378

And there's an upper limit.

When Xiao Bai first met Nino, she asked her if she knew any ways to increase magic power. Nino then told Xiao Bai about the magic power circulation method used by Magical Creatures.

But nothing happened at that time; no skill icons appeared on his skill panel, and his magic power did not increase in the slightest.

Nino's method was completely useless for Xiao Bai.

As a result, Xiao Bai forgot about the whole thing, and Xiao Bai also almost completely forgot about the so-called magic cycle method.

Until now.

Having learned about the magic cycle from Kelly again, Xiao Bai began to construct a magic cycle within his own body according to Kelly's method.

She had only intended to try it out casually, but when the magic completed its first cycle within her body, a peculiar change began to emerge from the source of Xiao Bai's magic.

Suddenly, a white light appeared on Xiao Bai's body. The light was so dazzling that it made it impossible to see what was inside.

But after the light faded, the young Xiao Bai had vanished.

Instead of...

It's a curved-horn sheep plush toy that looks pretty much like Nino and Youyou!

Kelly was speechless for a moment as she stared at the curly-horned sheep that looked like a doll.

The teddy sheep was also stunned for a while, and then it made a confused sound:

"... Huh?"

So why is it a sheep???

Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 409 The Origin of Magical Creatures

The horned sheep doll raised her hand, looked at it, and then turned to look at Kelly, who had appeared beside her using the base's projection.

Then he pointed to himself. "I... I've become Magical Creatures?"

"..."

Kelly didn't speak; she just stared dumbfounded at Xiao Bai, who had turned into a curly-horned sheep doll, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

After a long while, Kelly suddenly slapped her forehead and muttered to herself:

"... There must be something wrong with my program, otherwise I wouldn't be having such a ridiculous Illusion."

"Ms. Kelly, this is not Illusion."

The sheep doll said earnestly.

Kelly took a deep breath. "I'd rather this be Illusion!! No... how can a Magical Girls you turn into Magical Creatures?! This... this isn't magical at all!!!"

Kelly was already quite surprised that Fang Ming, being a male, could transform into Magical Girls.

And now, Fang Ming can even transform into Magical Creatures!

Is this reasonable? Is this normal?

Magical Creatures... aren't they supposed to grow from trees???

Kelly didn't understand at all.

Xiao Bai, now transformed into a curly-horned sheep, glanced at her skill bar. The question marks had all faded, replaced by the skill [Magical Creature Form], and she fell into deep thought.

It seems she was right; this question mark shape really was Magical Creature Form.

Furthermore, under this [Magical Creature Form LV1] skill, three new skills have been added.

Or rather, it should be called a skill gap.

[Contractor: None]

There are three skill slots available, meaning that even Xiao Bai can now contract with three Magical Girls.

However, the [Magical Creature Form] skill is only at LV1 right now. It's conceivable that if the skill level of this form could continue to increase, Xiao Bai would be able to contract even more Magical Girls!

"But why a sheep?"

Xiao Bai stroked its fluffy fur, looking quite puzzled.

Normally, a beautiful girl with such an elegant demeanor after transforming would not necessarily turn into a cute animal like a cat, rabbit, or fox.

Shouldn't it at least be some kind of powerful species like a lion, tiger, or leopard?

Even a beginner could probably accept aquatic creatures like crocodiles and Xiao Bai.

But what's with this fluffy, soft sheep?

Xiao Bai thought for a moment, then touched its own fluffy fur again.

You know what... it actually feels pretty good!

After experiencing her current form, Xiao Bai reverted to her Magical Creature Form and transformed back into Magical Girls.

Standing before the report left by Avery, Xiao Bai re-examined everything mentioned therein, nodded slightly, and said to Kelly:

"It seems Avery was right about this. Magical Creatures, Magical Girls, and Demons all share the same Magic Source; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to become Magical Creatures."

"..."

Kelly remained silent.

Her mind is actually a little slow to process things right now.

Xiao Bai transformed into a Magical Creatures right in front of her, which was indeed a bit unexpected for Kelly and somewhat shocking to Kelly worldview.

She no longer had the mental space to consider what Xiao Bai was saying.

Kelly even felt that whatever happened next probably wouldn't surprise her anymore.

"What?! The second-generation Magical Girls is actually Magical Creatures?!"

When Kelly returned to reunite with Aurora, Kelly heard the news again from Stella and exclaimed in shock.

Not only Kelly, but even Xiao Bai, who was rereading the report, stared wide-eyed at Stella.

Facing the gazes of Xiao Bai and the others, Stella calmly nodded and said:

"That's what my older sister said. You Magical Creatures probably don't have detailed records of how the first generation became Magical Girls, right? According to my older sister, the first generation of Magical Girls... didn't actually form a contract with any Magical Creatures."

"The second generation of Magical Girls mastered the technique of transforming themselves into Magical Creatures and continued this technique... As for how Magical Creatures reproduced, my older sister said she didn't know either, but what she was certain of was that Magical Creatures did appear after Magical Girls."

"..."

Xiao Bai remained silent.

Kelly's phone crashed on Aurora's phone.

Xiao Chun and Aurora exchanged bewildered glances. They didn't react much to the news, since both the First-Generation Magical Girls and the first Magical Creatures were things from a very long time ago.

It seems to have nothing to do with them now?

Xiao Bai remained silent for a long time before closing her tablet and organizing the information she had gathered:

"Let me sort this out first. According to Lesos, the First-Generation Magical Girls were Magical Girls who transformed themselves... right?"

"Um."

"Then the second-generation Magical Girls... are actually humans who can transform into Magical Creatures, in other words, they are the ancestors of Magical Creatures... isn't that right?"

"Hmm." Stella nodded again.

Xiao Bai rubbed his temples. "What about the Demons? How did the Demons appear?"

"My older sister said that the Demons appeared alongside the First-Generation Magical Girls, but she doesn't know the specifics. The first magical girl who turned her into Witch has long since passed away, and she didn't say anything..."

It's no longer a Witch that Lesos was actually transformed from the original Magical Girls who was corrupted by the Demons's power.

When Xiao Bai asked, Lesos told them about it.

That first generation predecessor had perished in an accident long ago.

So, not counting Stella in this world, throughout the millennia, the only 'Witch' spoken of by Magical Girls and Magical Creatures has been Lesos.

Furthermore, because the first generation of magical girls perished too early, and Lesos didn't encounter so many problems at the time, Lesos wasn't very clear about the previous five generations of Magical Girls.

She only knew the general outline.

The Magical Girls of the first five generations were all special.

The first generation could awaken their Emotion Seed and become Magical Girls without having to form a contract with Magical Creatures.

Through a series of unexpected events, the second generation was able to transform into half-human, half-beast beast girl warriors using the Emotion Seed, thus laying the foundation for the system of Magical Creatures.

The third generation inherited the legacy of the second generation and became Magical Girls under the then-imperfect contract system.

The fourth generation consists of Magical Girls who were contracted by the Magical Creatures who first perfected their own systems.

Godai is Magical Girls who uses an underhanded technique, that is, she transforms by utilizing the Emotional Force hidden in various items.

The origins of Magical Girls are now quite clear.

Everything on the side of justice, whether it's Magical Girls or Magical Creatures, originates from the first generation.

There were no Magical Girls before this.

"So..." While everyone was silently processing the information, Aurora suddenly asked, "Will this help us defeat the Demons?"

"Uh..." Stella paused, blinking, "... It doesn't seem so, it just filled in the gaps in the previous history."

Aurora rolled her eyes. "That's settled then. Since it has nothing to do with defeating the Demons, why think so much about it? We might as well figure out a way to turn Kazama and the others into Magical Girls as soon as possible."

"No... actually, there is some connection."

Xiao Bai looked at Kelly with a complicated expression, then said to everyone, "... If we can figure out the mechanics of Magical Creatures, perhaps... we can bring more Magical Creatures into this world."

Xiao Chun chimed in at this moment, "Then we'll be able to have even more Magical Girls!"

That's right, for now, we can put aside the origins of Magical Girls and Magical Creatures.

The real question now is Xiao Bai's ability to transform into Magical Creatures can be replicated!

If it could be replicated... or if it could give rise to even more Magical Creatures...

Then the problem of 'the scarcity of Magical Girls' will no longer be a problem at all!

They will have even more Magical Girls warriors! This will be a great help in their fight against the Demons!

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai asked Stella, "What did Lesos say?"

"..."

Stella paused for a moment, then said to everyone, "My sister said... she will come to talk to you in person, on the condition that..."

After Stella finished speaking, she looked up at the sky.

Xiao Bai understood what Stella meant.

Lesos is currently outside the world, and if they want to speak with her face-to-face, they need to personally break down the World Barrier so that Lesos can pinpoint their location.

In this way...

Lesos was able to come here and hold talks with the Magical Girls here.

Meanwhile, outside the World Barrier.

Lesos, whom everyone was talking about, was currently setting up a second barrier.

What Xiao Bai and the others didn't know was that next to Lesos, there was a screen that they couldn't shake off no matter what they did.

Sky Screen.

Yes, Lesos has a small, privately-owned Sky Screen next to him.

This Sky Screen appeared next to Lesos when the movie was airing, so Lesos could actually see all the 'plot' that Shiro and Xiao Bai others were talking about.

Lesos just hadn't mentioned this to Xiao Bai and the others.

"Interesting... I can't sense any other aura at all. The person who could do this must be..."

Lesos squinted at the screen on her person, muttering to herself.

Lesos is not an arrogant person; she would not say things like that she is invincible and that no one can compare to her.

Even so, Lesos felt confident that she could escape unless all four leaders of the Demons attacked her together.
