“Crack! Boom!!”
Su Tianqing squeezed her eyes shut, her ears pressed tightly against her head, ringing faintly from the sound of the Hellcat tearing through the door.
She had clearly been prepared to tank the Hellcat’s attack with a magic shield, so why wasn't there the expected pain?
“Stay away from us!”
A clear, youthful voice echoed in her ears.
Feeling the gentle magic wrapping around her body, Su Tianqing suddenly noticed the change in the girl in her arms—
Pale yellow hair and dress, a magic staff clutched tightly in her hand, unleashing a fierce magical shockwave towards the Hellcat at the bathroom door!
“Boom!!”
Magical explosion.
The Hellcat had already retreated into the air, glancing at the magic shockwave that stirred up a fierce tide, her brow furrowed.
Such immense magic.
But why did that child suddenly transform? Where did she get a guardian star?
And…
Nan Jiayu looked at the Golden Fox behind Lin Muyao, their eyes meeting in a moment of bewildered apprehension.
Why was Tianqing here?!
Weren't Xiaofeng and Hua Ling the ones who went out to play today! How could Tianqing appear in a place like this??
With no time to think, the Hellcat immediately wanted to retreat.
Her magic was almost depleted, not to mention Tianqing was still here; there was no other option but to retreat.
In any case, next up—
—!!!
An unusual fluctuation came from beside her.
The Hellcat soared higher, narrowly avoiding a horizontal slash from a greatsword!
“Clang! Buzz!!”
“Tsk!”
Missing her strike, Hyacinth pouted and looked up at the ascending Hellcat.
“Hell Shrike! I’ve got you! You’re the one who summoned the Monster here, aren’t you!”
“And this time, you actually attacked the school with so many people around… How detestable!”
Hyacinth re-positioned herself and loudly addressed the Hellcat.
Iris arrived shortly after, and both of them simultaneously looked up at the deep blue Magic Girl in the air, who was frowning and showed no intention of fighting.
The Hellcat felt her luck today was truly bad.
Not only did she forget to confirm Tianqing’s whereabouts, almost dragging her into the destruction she caused, but she also watched helplessly as a richly abundant source of magic transformed into a Magic Girl.
She was even forced to face a one-against-three situation.
And they even misunderstood that she was the one who summoned the Monster.
Please! What kind of magic do I have, what kind of magic does Fox Fox have, why do you all think Ben Hu has the ability to summon a Monster?
“…Oh oh! You succeeded!”
The Bai Diao (White Sable) finally noticed Lin Muyao, who was firmly protecting Su Tianqing in the bathroom, and said with delight.
Lin Muyao looked at the two sides confronting each other in the sky, then turned back to glance at the bewildered Fox Girl behind her, and did not join either side, merely silently maintaining the magic shield.
Magic Girl? Villain?
She wasn't interested in either right now; she just wanted to protect the slender and delicate Fox Sister behind her!
“That child…” “Is she a newcomer…”
Hyacinth and Iris also noticed this pale yellow newcomer, but only gave her a quick glance, their attention still on the Hellcat.
Nan Xiaofeng had already heard from Bai Ling about her attempt to recruit Lin Muyao, so it seemed this newcomer must be Lin Muyao after successfully transforming.
She hadn't expected Mu Yao to actually succeed.
But now was not the time to focus on the newcomer!
The two naturally also noticed Su Tianqing, who was being protected behind Lin Muyao; although their hearts trembled, their fighting spirit was high.
Since Tianqing Jie is here, we absolutely cannot lose today!
We must protect her!!
Suddenly, another figure attracted everyone’s attention.
On the dormitory building's rooftop, a giant three-tailed Black Wolf emerged from the darkness, looking at the two sky-blue and pure white Magic Girls in the sky, but a familiar voice came out:
“Yo ho, Miss Hyacinth, and Miss Iris, and even a newcomer, it’s really lively today.”
Everyone recognized the owner of this voice—Xin Yuehu!
“It was you after all!” Hyacinth cried out indignantly, “Xin Yuehu! Why did you summon a Monster in the school!”
“Who told you this little wolf was summoned by me?”
Xin Yuehu’s voice came from the Black Wolf’s mouth, but it made everyone pause.
“Not summoned by you?… Then why are you…”
“I just happened to pass by and saw a lost little wolf looking for food here, so I put a collar on it to prevent it from harming people. How did that become me summoning it?”
Su Tianqing huddled timidly in the corner.
Villain Fox Fox was seriously mind-controlling the Black Wolf Monster to converse with everyone.
And conveniently telling a few lies to buy time.
She couldn't possibly transform and go support the Hellcat right now; if she transformed into Xin Yuehu directly in front of the three of them, their friendship would be over.
So, for now, she’d have to let the Hellcat suffer a bit! Ben Hu believes you, Hellcat, you can take on three!
After hearing what came out of the Black Wolf Monster’s mouth, Hyacinth felt her brain was a bit slow.
Not summoned by Xin Yuehu? Could this Black Wolf be a wild Monster?
But it was clearly overflowing with Xin Yuehu's magic, so what exactly was this…
“Hyacinth! Don’t fall for that fox’s trick! We need to quickly stop that Monster now! And rescue the innocent bystander!”
Bai Ling shouted beside Hyacinth, snapping her out of her hesitation, and she quickly raised her greatsword, ready for battle.
The “innocent bystander” in the Bai Diao (White Sable)’s mouth naturally referred to Su Tianqing behind Lin Muyao.
It was also fortunate that Lin Muyao was able to successfully transform in the nick of time, otherwise…
Hyacinth dared not imagine what would happen to Su Tianqing if she were caught by Hell Shrike.
The Black Wolf, mind-controlled by Xin Yuehu, glanced at the Bai Diao (White Sable) and pouted.
This Observer is really annoying.
Hyacinth was almost convinced by her impromptu excuse, but then she had to intervene at such a crucial moment…
…However, Ben Hu also wanted to test the Black Wolf Monster’s capabilities.
Su Tianqing thought to herself.
This Black Wolf was replicated from the wild Monster she had seen last time in Green Heart Park; it was far stronger than those weak Monsters, not to mention she had poured three days of effort into it.
A full six enhancement spells! Three special abilities!
This Black Wolf would surely be the first BOSS Monster the trio faced!
But before that…
The Black Wolf looked up, glancing at the Hellcat’s situation above.
The Hellcat’s magic was already very faint; just maintaining flight seemed difficult, and she looked about to fall.
Observation magic activated!
Hellcat
Magic Reserves: 2%
Your magic is almost depleted, Hellcat!
Then let the BOSS Monster that Ben Hu carefully refined come and support you!
“So, you still want to fight after all.”
Seeing the two assume battle stances, the Black Wolf showed a troubled expression, extended a paw, and scratched its head,
“This is truly troublesome…
“Ben Hu originally planned to just put a collar on this little wolf and leave today, but since you ladies are so eager to fight Ben Hu…”
The three-tailed Black Wolf lowered its body, magic blossoming.
Then it sent a magic communication to the Hellcat.
“Hellcat, you go quickly, I’ll hold them off here.”
“…Okay.”
Without the slightest hesitation, as the Black Wolf roared and pounced, the Hellcat decisively turned and flew away at an accelerated speed.
“Don’t run! Hell Shrike! You—”
Hyacinth was about to charge in pursuit, but the Black Wolf’s claws arrived in an instant, forcing her to block with all her might!
A fierce battle was about to erupt!
