Magic Girl Winter Holly raised her magic staff.
A thick shield appeared around Chun Lan, blocking the magic missiles flying from Alice's side.
"Blocked!?"
Seeing that the attack missed, Alice said in surprise.
"Winter Holly anticipated your attack. One person attacks, one person supports; this is the most common combat style for a two-person team."
"Then... what should I do now?"
Alice looked back at the Hellcat floating not far away, like a student asking a serious question.
"They're actually teaching on the spot... how much do they look down on us...?"
Chun Lan gritted her teeth, but facing this seemingly petite dark blue Cat Girl, the two of them couldn't muster any thought of directly fighting her.
After all, this was still the Hellcat's normal state. If she were pushed too hard and revealed her Black Hole Cat Punch form from Sui City and Hong Kong City...
But why did she look like she was teaching Alice? It was truly perplexing.
"—Chun Lan! Winter Holly! We're late!"
Hyacinth's shout came from the sky.
The sky-blue Magic Girl sped forward, taking the lead. Alice subconsciously threw two magic missiles at her, but they were easily cut by the greatsword, which was agile to an extent disproportionate to its size.
"She can cut magic missiles...?"
Alice was surprised and stunned.
In London, she had observed the Shuofeng Squad's battles and had even seen some strangely shaped Monsters that could fire magic missiles.
But she had never heard of a technique that used a magic staff transformed into a sword to cut magic missiles!
Before Alice could react, Hyacinth charged forward along the trajectory of the magic missiles, raised her greatsword at Alice, and slashed!
"So... so fast!"
Alice froze in place, gripping her magic staff in terror, her mind blank, not knowing how to react next.
Too fast!
Hyacinth's speed was completely incomparable to the Ripper or the Shuofeng Squad! Her attack gave her no time to react at all; there was no time to dodge or defend—
Before her thoughts finished, a cat paw gauntlet suddenly grabbed her shoulder and threw her backward.
Flight magic maintained Alice's balance. She only saw the dark blue Cat Girl charging forward to meet the greatsword, a joyful smile on her lips.
"Bang!"
?!"
The cat paw gauntlet punched out, forcibly deflecting the momentum of Hyacinth's greatsword, then followed with an uppercut, forcing Hyacinth to abandon her greatsword and lean back to dodge.
The Cat Girl and Hyacinth fought in a tangle. Iris rushed to the battlefield, just setting up her magic cannon for fire support when the sound of Rabbit's great hammer tearing through the air already reached her.
"Clang!!!"
The magic cannon swept, blocking Rabbit's surprise attack. Only a crescent-shaped smile remained in the air, and the Pink-haired Rabbit Girl instantly vanished.
Fenrir slowly flew in front of Chun Lan and her companion. The two sides confronted each other across the distance, neither making the first move, remaining in a stalemate.
A fierce battle between Magic Girls unfolded in the air, with combos that turned defense into offense and continuous attacks that repeatedly broke through stealth, making Alice's heart pound with excitement.
So cool!
She rushed forward, delivering two quick punches to subdue Hyacinth, then took the opportunity to suppress her disarmed opponent. Hyacinth quickly reacted from her disadvantage, re-summoning her greatsword in her hand and fighting the Cat Cat in a flurry.
Alice felt like a novice who had just started, quickly captivated by the magnificent battle between masters.
It seems Sister Cat Cat was right; fighting is indeed very interesting.
A glimmer of anticipation ignited in the girl's heart as she recalled what the Cat Girl had told her just now:
【Later, I'll go fight Hyacinth. Rabbit will restrain Iris, and you can go play with Nightingale. You two might play for quite a while.】
Play with Miss Nightingale, huh...
Alice gripped her magic staff, looking around, and immediately spotted Nightingale, who was maintaining a distance from everyone and casting shield magic.
Noticing Alice's gaze and her movement towards her, Nightingale was scared out of her wits.
Shield magic was cast as the girl defended herself rigorously, fearing that the terrifying Ripper would suddenly appear around Alice.
"Hello, Miss Nightingale."
The golden girl floated in front of Nightingale, gripping her magic staff, and said to her.
"...Ah, hello." Nightingale didn't quite react and replied.
"Miss Nightingale, can you fight me?"
Nightingale froze.
...What? Fight?
Is this Fox Fox's new game, sending Alice to scout and test?
Seeing Nightingale's cautious and wary expression, Alice's expectant expression faded considerably, replaced by a hint of awkwardness and dejection.
"If, if you don't want to, it's okay... I'm sorry..."
Alice lowered her head.
Was it really because she was too abrupt, not considering Miss Nightingale's feelings at all?
But if Nightingale didn't want to fight her, should she just charge in like Cat Cat and Rabbit...?
No, no, if she did that, Miss Nightingale would avoid her in the future, and she wouldn't be able to play with her anymore.
"Hey, don't apologize to me, I haven't even said anything yet."
Nightingale quickly replied, feeling a strange sense of guilt.
Although she wasn't sure why Alice was so politely asking her to fight, it seemed to have inadvertently aligned with her new training plan.
—As the team's support, Nightingale felt she was the weak link in the squad, often becoming the opponent's breakthrough point.
Little Feng and Hua Ling had always comforted her, and Bai Ling also said that support types were the core position of the team, but it couldn't alleviate Nightingale's own anxiety.
"In the new year, I must improve my strength! I can't be the team's breakthrough weakness anymore!"
Lin Muyao made this firm resolution.
And wasn't this situation before her a perfect opportunity to train her combat skills?
"Miss Alice, do you really want to fight me? My combat skills are very poor, you know."
"But I also want to train my combat ability. If we're going to fight, let's have a one-on-one practice!"
"Hmm, mm." Alice nodded, adopting a combat stance.
"Then, let's do our best together, Miss Nightingale."
.
Xin Yuehu sat in the stadium stands, subtly adjusting the familiars used to protect the surrounding buildings while eating popcorn and watching the rather complex battlefield before her.
She also carried out her daily live stream activity.
"Can the audience see clearly? Fox Fox has prepared several camera angles, so tell me in the comments which perspective you want to see~"
The Fox Girl said with a smile.
"Hmm? Want to see Cat Cat's side? It seems everyone really likes the battle between Cat Cat and Hyacinth~"
Su Tianqing skillfully switched the camera familiar's perspective.
The audience is God! Whatever the audience wants to see, Ben Hu will show them!
Of course, things that would destroy the world are absolutely not allowed.
The situation on this battlefield is indeed quite complex.
Cat Cat and Hyacinth, as always, displayed excellent close-quarters combat abilities, but Cat Cat seemed to be intentionally lowering her speed and strength, as if deliberately letting Hyacinth keep up with her movements.
Rabbit, on the other hand, was having a great time hammering away, and Iris's distressed and conflicted expression certainly brought Rabbit a lot of joy.
Doggy was restraining Chun Lan and her companion. Their magic missile density was quite high, and many hit Doggy, but they seemed unable to break Doggy's defense at all, even making her smile with pleasure.
Meanwhile, the situation between Alice and Nightingale was surprisingly harmonious:
"No, magic missiles can also curve and be remote-controlled like this. They can bypass the shield's blind spots to attack, just like this." Nightingale demonstrated.
"Oh oh oh, so cool! Like this, then..." Alice's eyes lit up, imitating her.
"Exactly, you're learning very quickly!" Nightingale nodded in praise.
Hmm... Is this right?
But both of them are good children. Fox Fox is very pleased to see such a scene.
The Golden-haired Fox Girl showed a satisfied smile.
