"W-What are these things?!"
Looking at the pitch-black monsters that looked like black slime with tentacles, Berry Ling shrieked all of a sudden. The Wolf Cub hurriedly raised his sword and talisman, carefully observing the monsters.
"Be careful, they're shadowy monsters. They aren't too strong, but there are a lot of them and they're hard to deal with!"
Illya and Blackie rushed to their sides and protected them. At the same time, Illya said to the Wolf Cub and Mei Ling. After hearing Illya's explanation, Mei Ling was dumbfounded.
"But why didn't I see this when the Wolf Cub recovered the Culow Card previously?"
"Because these things are coming for young sorceresses, and you're not one."
Blackie curled his lips and glanced at Mei Ling.
"Alright, stay at the back and don't get in the way."
"Who said I'm in the way? I can fight too!"
"Mei Ling, don't throw a tantrum like a child!"
At this moment, the Wolf Cub hurriedly stopped Mei Ling's complaints. He could also see that the current situation was clearly very bad. Although he didn't know what these monsters were, it was obvious that they didn't come with good intentions!
As this wasn't the first time they dealt with these shadowy monsters, both sides quickly clashed again. Meanwhile, Fangzheng stood in front of the screen and carefully stared at the monsters before him.
"Madam Presia, can you help with the search?"
"Of course, no problem. I'm doing it now."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Presia, who was typing on the keyboard, answered without turning her head. As a Grand Magus (formerly), Presia had outstanding performance in biochemical and spatial research, as well as magic-powered energy. This was also another reason why Fangzheng was willing to save her.
Through the book, Fangzheng couldn't determine the origins of these shadowy monsters, so he could only let Presia think of a solution.
"Mommy, all the best!"
Looking at Presia, Alicia happily clenched her little fists and waved them in the air. When Presia heard her daughter's words, she smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, Alicia. Leave it to me."
While speaking, Presisia tapped on the keyboard rapidly. Soon, lines of information appeared on the screen and quickly locked onto the shadowy creatures. After a few moments, looking at the data, Pressia couldn't help but twitch her brows.
"My Lord, these shadowy monsters … seem a little unusual."
"What did you find?"
"According to the results of my investigation, these shadowy monsters look more like some kind of... remnants that have been contaminated with magic and condensed into something. Hmm, just like the targets that went berserk after the Jewel Seed was activated and absorbed its energy."
"You mean to say that they were originally harmless emotional residue, but because they were contaminated by the magic of this world, they gained their current form?"
"To be honest, I can't be sure if they're really harmless."
Looking at the beast-like shadowy monsters on the screen, Precia was a little worried.
"Can you determine where they came from?"
Fangzheng wasn't here to investigate or study these things. He just wanted to know where these shadowy monsters came from and how to deal with them.
"I'm working on it, but the energy waves of these shadowy monsters are very unstable. I'm afraid it'll be difficult. But as long as we can record the energy frequency of these shadowy monsters, it'll only be a matter of time."
Just as the two of them were conversing, the situation on the screen changed.
Since almost all the magical girls were present this time, the number of shadowy monsters that appeared far exceeded the previous ones. Countless shadowy monsters climbed up the barbed wire from all directions and pounced on the magical girls. However, with the combined efforts of Illya, Blackie, Sakura, Naiya and Fithalia, these shadowy monsters were basically unable to achieve anything.
Even the Wolf Cub had taken out a handful of Heavenly Master Talismans and used the Urgent Command from time to time to summon a bolt of lightning to destroy all the shadowy monsters that were trying to take advantage of the situation. Mei Ling even asked for a sword from Blackie and charged forward to fight the shadowy monsters. It was quite a good fight … Well, at least so far, everything was normal.
However, on careful observation, Fangzheng could still discover some problems.
The shadowy monsters basically wouldn't attack anyone other than the magical girls. Zhi Shi was standing not far away. Although Sakura gave her a shield to protect her, she didn't have much combat power. The little wolf and Mei Ling were also fighting hard, but even if the little wolf used lightning to smash the shadowy monsters into pieces, or Mei Ling cut them in half with her sword, the shadowy monsters still ignored them.
They seemed to have their eyes set on the magical girls and intended to kill them. They charged forward without any regard for their own safety, ignoring everything else.
It wasn't like a robot that didn't care about anything other than its target. It was more like a creature driven by some kind of intense emotion. Apart from that, it didn't care about anything else.
More and more shadowy monsters appeared, and Naiya and the others' attacks became more intense. If it weren't for the fact that the shadowy monsters would disappear after being killed, the ground beneath everyone's feet would have been littered with the corpses of shadowy monsters.
However, at this moment, for some unknown reason, the shadowy monsters that were charging forward with all their might seemed to have sensed something and stopped. Then, as if attracted by a magnet, they began to condense!
"What happened?"
Looking at this scene, Fangzheng's expression changed slightly, and he asked. Pressia's expression also turned solemn.
"I'm not sure, but I can sense a very unique soul energy.... It's absorbing and fusing with the power of those shadowy monsters!"
As he spoke, the shadowy monsters had already condensed into a ball, and then …
"— — — —!!"
The next moment, the color of the whole sky suddenly changed.
The originally dark night sky turned into a chaotic color like a child's watercolor painting. At the same time, a figure that seemed to be made up of black lines appeared in front of the girls. It looked like a girl, and its upper body was adorned with gorgeous decorations. However, its lower body seemed to be made up of countless black lines that spread out in layers, enveloping everyone.
"What's this?!"
Fangzheng could no longer sit still. He could sense that this strange monster had a strange aura of destruction. Of course, its power was not much stronger than the other shadowy monsters. Strictly speaking, it was equivalent to the sum of the power of all the magical girls here. But for some reason, this shadowy monster gave Fangzheng a very bad feeling.
Not only Fangzheng, but the magical girls on the battlefield also had the same feeling.
"What, what is this …."
Xiao Ying gripped her staff tightly and looked at the terrifying monster in front of her. For some reason, she could feel a deep malice in the monster's eyes, which made her instinctively feel fear.
"What the hell … is this thing?!"
Even Ilya and Blackie's expressions became much more serious. This was not a difference in power, but more like some kind of …. existence that reinforced and restrained each other.
No one noticed that at that moment, a little black cat with a blue ribbon tied to its tail quietly jumped out from the shadows. Its eyes stared unblinkingly at the huge monster in front of it.
