Landing

(Ceruno)

After several struggles, the City School finally managed to pass through the wormhole.

Without Miluno's energy supply, the wormhole vanished completely shortly after we passed through it, as if it had never existed...

There is no turning back now.

Although forced by circumstances, the time has finally come to confront the Other Side head-on.

Many magical girls may lose their lives because of this...

I had seen it more than once in the videos that Miluno brought back, but seeing this Ring World with my own eyes still shocked me from the bottom of my heart. But I didn't have time to sigh. The barrage of bullets was like fireworks falling from the sky, landing all around us and exploding into clusters of black Firework.

It's artillery.

It was an ambush, which was perfectly reasonable.

"Miluno!"

While setting up air-proof bubbles to withstand the fire, he also reminded Miluno, who was still on the command tower.

Just as Miss Titan said, the farther away from Earth, the less assistance she could provide me. At this point, I was no longer able to support the huge bubble protecting the entire City School, and I was powerless to deal with the firepower falling from the sky.

Call out--

Looking up, Miluno shot towards the enemy position overhead like a rocket, and at the moment of landing, a red and black lightning bolt shot out from the point of impact.

The enemy in that area fell silent.

"Wow, that's powerful! What exactly did Professor Stratos give her to drink?"

Miluno has now transcended the witch realm and is moving towards the "Great Will"... towards the realm of gods, hasn't she?

She's always so strong...

Because of weightlessness, Xiao Yi was floating in the air. She had no magic, so she could only try to mobilize the available resources.

"Metal! What about our counter-attack firepower? Did the wormhole destroy all our weapons?"

"Um, let me see what else I can use."

My bubble burst for about ten seconds before I burst out of the wormhole.

But in just a few seconds, the entire structure of the City School became extremely unstable. Cracks appeared on the building surface and even the road surface. And even the Dragonbone reinforcement bars may have snapped beneath our sight.

Miss Anjie, who had woken up at some unknown time, used the blood-like threads to pull Xiao Yi to her side, but they also needed the protection of the bubbles.

A series of missiles were fired from below the City School, but they were fired at an uninhabited residential area on the other side.

Where are you shooting?!

"No! The gravity environment in the center is too chaotic, and the missile launch system is malfunctioning. We must land and conduct a comprehensive inspection first!"

"Stop and get beaten?"

"They get hit even harder in the air! City School can't maneuver... Oh, damn it! The school building collapsed too!"

Left with no other choice, Xiao Yi pointed to the deep pit above her head.

"Then let's park by that pit! It'll be the perfect size!"

"Roger that, Captain!"

I know that pitfall.

To study the power of Annihilation Bomb, I repeatedly visited the ruins of Betelgeuse Fortress, which is...

"The Betelgeuse's Great Crater."

The crater created by the Annihilation Bomb is much larger than the area of City School.

However, the crater happened to be on the same side as the enemy's firing position overhead. If it landed on that side, at least some of the enemy's firepower would be rendered ineffective. If it landed on that side, the enemy would only be able to attack the area above the City School.

Fortunately, these Crystal cannonballs weren't very powerful; their primary purpose was to cause casualties...

Call out--

Just as I was thinking this, a missile-like Crystal crashed into the Control Tower and caused an explosion. The Control Tower, which was already weakened by the pressure of the wormhole, collapsed instantly. Some magical girls were slammed against the wall by the shockwave, while others were buried under the rubble.

Although casualties were inevitable, the situation was worse than we had anticipated. We were wiped out by artillery fire before we could even engage in hand-to-hand combat.

"Attention! We're about to roll over! Find somewhere to secure yourself!"

With the Power Crystal at full throttle, the City School began to spin in the air. The immense G-force caused groans to echo from within the City School. The side containing the Engine Department began to bear the brunt of the artillery bombardment, but its armor was already thicker, so... wait a minute?

"Continue with air defense; there are other fire teams overhead!"

This is a Ring World. Dad has set up anti-air positions in a 360-degree radius, so no matter which side we flip to, we'll be attacked...

Moreover, the enemy's attacks were very precise, as if they knew we were gathered around the Control Tower, so they only fired at the Control Tower. The sky was filled with artillery fire, all of which was used to bombard the small area around the Control Tower, as if they wanted to turn every piece of land upside down.

"Spread out and find cover! Don't run around! It's dangerous!"

Xiao Yi was still shouting at the top of her lungs, but in the current chaotic situation, her voice couldn't reach the ears of any of the magical girls.

"Ceruno, it's my turn!"

Sirius suddenly spoke.

"Defense has its limits, so let's try to destroy the enemy's positions... Terra's power can't reach here, so we'll have to rely on ourselves."

"Can we bomb enemy positions from here?"

"Hmph, I can burn them into glass."

Sirius made a solemn vow, and I relinquished control of my body, relinquishing consciousness to the background.

The previously depleted magic surged once more, and a whip of light emerged from behind, deflecting the flying Black Crystal. Then... my eyes felt a little hot?

Etc...

They're not going to use that trick, are they?

Sure enough, thick laser beams shot from his eyes, aimed directly at the enemy's artillery positions. The enhanced High-Energy Ray could indeed burn glass on the ground and precisely detonate those Black Crystal shells that had not yet been fired.

Watching the fireworks on the enemy's position, a question arose in my mind.

"Sirius, why can we still see things when we use this move?"

"Because light is also my eyes."

Just the eyes...

What's the principle behind this?

[Don't take these kinds of settings too seriously!]

Although the City School had an earthquake-absorbing system underneath, the violent impact of the hard landing still sent people flying into the air.

Xiao Yi crawled out from under a table, covering her head.

"Uh, preparing for landing!"

They only told us after landing was complete?!

"Headmaster! They're everywhere!"

"Then open fire everywhere!"

Xiao Yi, hiding behind the fortifications, gripped the walkie-talkie and gave orders.

Metal's response came through the walkie-talkie again:

"Transport the wounded to the underground passage in the Central District. Next, the Engine Department will also join the battle."

Miss Metal has said she doesn't like fighting, but now is not the time to discuss preferences.

"Xiao Yi, take Xiaojie and Azura down with you."

"Hmm, that's true... my presence here would only get in the way..."

Xiao Yi seemed a little downcast.

Having had most of its darkness absorbed by Miluno, Azura was now reduced to a fist-sized, jelly-like body...

Like a slightly larger steamed bun, it made a slapping sound as Xiaojie held it in her arms.

"Smack!"

After...

It should be able to turn back like last time, right?

"After landing, it'll be close combat. Your magic will be even more useful then. Put protective shields on the magical girls in the Mobility Class; they are our spearhead."

"Ah, I understand!"

Sirius, having said this, returned control of her body to me, but the magic within her had been burned away by her indiscriminate laser beams, and she wouldn't be able to recover for a while...

But speaking of the Mobility Class, what's Miluno's current situation as their class advisor?

Sirius replied:

"Speaking of which, I glanced around when I landed, and there were no Monster coming from the direction where Miluno landed."

It means...

Miluno single-handedly fended off enemies from one direction?
