As Fangzheng expected, the shadowy monsters appeared once again.
Just like before, the shadowy monsters immediately attacked Naiye and the blonde girl the moment they appeared. The blonde girl was surprised by the sudden attack, but she obviously had no intention of staying here for long. While Naiye was occupied by the shadowy monsters, the blonde girl flew up into the sky, collected the sealed Jewel Seed, and quickly retreated.
When Fangzheng and the rest walked out of the teleportation circle, the blonde girl had already disappeared into the horizon.
"Teacher!"
Seeing Fangzheng's arrival, Naiye, who was fighting the shadowy demonic creature, cried out in joy. Fangzheng glanced at her and nodded. Then, he took out his black greatsword and pointed it forward.
"Kill these guys!"
The shadowy monsters' attacks were still as ferocious as ever.
But unlike before, everyone came prepared this time. Even Naiye and Sakura were prepared to be ambushed by the shadowy monsters, so they were able to deal with them with ease. With the addition of Fangzheng, Ilya, and Blackie, no matter how ferocious the attacks of the shadowy monsters were, they couldn't do any damage to the party.
But … if they were to continue fighting like this in the real world …
Fangzheng's eyelids twitched when he saw Blackie's "Pseudo-Spiraling Sword" blasting a huge crater on the other side. He raised the pitch-black greatsword in his right hand again.
"Seal …"
However, just as Fangzheng was about to cast Seal Jue, a strange scene happened again.
The shadowy monsters that were attacking frantically suddenly seemed to have sensed something and began to retreat quickly. They were so fast that it was as though the entire formation had collapsed.
Fangzheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He forcefully stopped casting Seal Jue.
When Fangzheng stopped casting Seal Jue, the shadowy monsters that were desperately retreating as if they had seen a ghost stopped moving again. They seemed to be hesitating, not knowing what was going on. But shortly after, one of the shadowy creatures shrieked and pounced on its prey again.
Are they afraid of Seal Jue?
Fangzheng became more and more curious as he looked at the shadowy monsters. What kind of monsters were these shadowy monsters? He was sure that they were not native to this world, so what exactly were they?
"Blackie."
With this in mind, Fangzheng had an idea. He shouted at Little Black and gestured to her. Upon hearing Fangzheng's shout, Blackie immediately nodded in understanding. Then, she sheathed her swords and leaped backward. At the same time, dozens of swords appeared around her. As Blackie swung her arms forward, the swords flew out and surrounded the shadowy creatures in front of her.
At the same time, Fangzheng raised his right hand. Magical radiance condensed on his fingertips and turned into mysterious and complicated runes.
"Confinement Spell!"
Several rays of light intertwined and shackled several shadowy monsters. Then, Fangzheng raised the pitch-black sword in his hand again.
"Seal Jue!"
This time, the shadowy monsters didn't hesitate anymore. Almost as soon as Fangzheng cast Seal Jue, they screamed and retreated, disappearing into thin air. Only a few pitiful creatures left behind by the Confinement Spell desperately tried to escape. Fangzheng could see their bodies constantly squirming and changing shape. One moment, they turned into mist and dissipated, and the next moment, they condensed back into a solid form. It seemed that these shadowy monsters used this method to escape from their pursuit.
But this time, they weren't so lucky.
"Is this the true form of those monsters?"
At this time, Xiao Ying, Nanoha, and Ilya also came to Fangzheng's side. They curiously sized up the imprisoned monsters.
Bam!
But to their surprise, as soon as they got closer, the shadowy monsters instantly became agitated. They waved their palms and smashed the Confinement Barrier in front of them with all their might. They let out indistinct roars as if they had just seen their father's murderer.
"Woah."
The sudden reaction startled the girls. They couldn't help but take a few steps back and stared at the monsters anxiously.
"What the hell is this?"
"I'm not too sure."
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up the demonic creature in the imprisonment barrier as he replied.
"Based on the current situation, these things should be some kind of energy body … Hmm, I have an idea."
Fangzheng rubbed his chin and quickly removed the Confinement Barrier. He then turned to the girls behind him.
"Sakura, Naiya, Ilya, Blackie, go find a place to hide."
"Hide?"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's strange request, everyone was puzzled. As for Little Black, he revealed an excited smile.
"Are we playing hide-and-seek here? Big brother? "
"No, I'm going to do an experiment. Go find a place to hide. Don't let these monsters see you."
"Okay."
Although they didn't know what Fangzheng wanted to do, the girls obediently nodded and found a place to hide.
Strangely enough, after the girls left the line of sight of the shadowy monsters, the shadowy monsters suddenly quieted down. They slowly stopped moving and started sitting or lying down like puppets …
"Huh?"
However, at that moment, Zhi Shi's voice sounded in Fangzheng's ears.
"Teacher, these shadows …."
"What's wrong with these shadows?"
Upon hearing Zhi Shi's words, Fangzheng pricked up his brows and asked. Zhi Shi hesitated for a moment before answering.
"These shadows … may be my imagination, but they look like people to me …"
"People?"
"Yes … .How do I put it …. They look like the shadows of people wearing strange clothes on the wall … .Something like that."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng carefully sized up the shadowy demonic creatures and indeed discovered something odd about them.
For example, the shadowy monster standing in front of him. From its appearance, Fangzheng would only think that it was a jellyfish monster with a few tentacles on its head. But after listening to Chi Shi's words, Fangzheng looked at it from a human's point of view and found that the shadow really did look like a human.
The tentacles on its head were not tentacles, but more like hairs. Fangzheng even saw the curve of its chest and waist. From a human's point of view, its lower body looked like it was wearing a strange ballet dress …. Indeed, it did look like a human.
And it seemed to be a young girl?
With this thought in mind, Fangzheng looked at the other shadowy monsters and found that they were all the same. Some were wearing cloaks, some looked like they were wearing coats, and there were even some that didn't seem to be wearing anything at all … Well, they were just shadows anyway, so he couldn't tell what they were.
What the hell is this?
Fangzheng looked at the shadowy monsters curiously, but they didn't seem to see him at all. They just sat or stood there motionlessly. Even when Fangzheng swayed in front of them, they didn't react at all. Seeing this, Fangzheng thought for a moment and sent a message to Xiao Ying.
"Xiao Ying, come here for a moment."
"Yes, Teacher."
Hearing Fangzheng's summon, Xiao Ying hurriedly ran out from behind the rock she was hiding behind.
"Roar —!!"
But when Xiao Ying came to Fangzheng's side, the seemingly obedient shadowy monsters pounced on her again in an attempt to attack her.
Next, Fangzheng switched to Naiya, Ilya, and Xiao Hei, but the results were the same.
But on the other hand, when these people were not around, the shadowy monsters would be very quiet, not moving at all like dead people. Fangzheng even cast a spell on one of them, but even after being corroded and attacked by magic, the shadowy monsters didn't react at all.
It was as if they were really dead people.
Monsters that only know how to attack magical girls?
With this in mind, the look in Fangzheng's eyes turned odd.
Shouldn't they be tentacles?
