Tang Ming now deeply regrets not bringing his suitcase, as it tends to attract attention. He had only intended to have a meal with Ye Jingjing and left it in the car, never expecting that he would be so vulnerable and nearly killed by a mere virtual beast.

"Where are all these magical girl transformation gadgets hidden? They can change size anytime, anywhere..."

The beast behind him grabbed a person and threw him to the ground. The person slammed against the wall unconscious. Tang Ming swallowed hard, dodged to the side, and avoided the charge of another beast.

Fortunately, the beasts here did not show any relentless aggression towards humans; they were simply destroying everything in sight.

The beetle-like creature used its hard shell to smash through the tunnel's concrete frame, sending countless pieces of rock and iron shattering and crashing down. Tang Ming clung to the edge of the track, tumbling and dodging the falling stones.

The phantom beast seemed to notice him, roared, and charged towards him. The people who were running with him immediately scattered and retreated. Tang Ming couldn't run fast enough, so he rolled on the ground and narrowly avoided the impact of the phantom beast's tentacles.

"The Void Beasts have no intelligence; they cannot predict your actions and can only launch an effective attack after locking onto your location."

Tang Ming recalled Hua Lingyou's words during training. She was not only training Tang Ming to understand the information needed to deal with the Void Beasts, but also to delay reinforcements to a certain extent when they were unable to transform and encountered danger.

"Whether it's the company or the magical girl, why aren't they here yet?"

Although Tang Ming was verbally "crying out" for help, his body language was very calm as he adjusted his position to avoid being hit by the virtual beast in the narrow tunnel.

These insect-shaped phantom beasts are rather clumsy. Although their charging speed and power are extremely strong, the timing of their attacks can be predicted by observing the flashing of the alien patterns on their bodies.

Tang Ming lay down again, and this time the void beast crashed into the escape tunnel from above him...

The people around were stunned for a moment. The only passage out of the tunnel was half-hidden by the Void Beast, leaving only its rear end wriggling outside.

"Damn it...we have to keep running!" Tang Ming shouted, and the remaining people could only take advantage of the fact that the Void Beast had not yet gotten stuck in the passage and continue running deeper into the tunnel.

"Sizzle!!"

A piercing screech of brakes came from deep within the tunnel, and the bright lights from the front of the train shone on everyone's faces. A subway train was approaching from the depths of the tunnel, and those still on the tracks hurriedly jumped to the escape passage to avoid being run over by the train.

The carriage stopped outside the platform, the doors opened, and the well-trained wizard stepped off, glanced at the civilians, and without lingering, ran towards the location of the Void Beast.

Each person held a medium brimming with magical power, and some battle wizards even wielded specially crafted magical weapons as they attacked the Void Beasts.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed the wizards back. Tang Ming watched from behind as the wizard squads carefully dealt with the attacks of the Void Beasts, and couldn't help but frown.

These wizards appeared to move in unison and were well-trained, and most of the people around them thought so as well.

However, Tang Ming discovered that the coordination of each squad frequently had large gaps, and there were always flaws in the connection of spells and backup support. They could suppress one Void Beast by relying on their numerical advantage, but when other Void Beasts sensed that their own kind had also joined the battle, the wizard's formation was immediately scattered.

The supporting wizards immediately released defensive magic to offset the impact of the void beasts, but many ordinary people who were following the wizards were not so lucky. With the outbreak of the alien substance, corrosive gas was splashed out, passing through the edge of the magic shield and staining the skin of many people, causing many to let out shrill cries.

The wizards glanced at it, sighed, and hurriedly organized themselves into a formation, trying to force the Void Beasts back from the tunnel to the platform so that the people behind them could leave the tunnel and return to the surface.

"Why are there more and more?! There are already three over here, how many more are there in the platform?" the captain shouted into the communication equipment.

A frantic shout came from the other side, "There are four in the waiting room! I wonder how many are on the platform! Where are the magical girls?!"

"Didn't they say there were only six?"

"A few more bubbles might have emerged! Have we asked them for backup?! We can't hold on much longer here!"

A jumble of chaotic sounds came through the headphones, mixed together with the noise of panicked people.

Upon receiving the alarm, the Anti-Magic Department immediately dispatched multiple wizard teams to provide support from both above and below ground. However, the space was cramped, the enemy situation was unclear, and many civilians were mixed in with the "battlefield," interfering with the magic, so their progress was very slow.

Tang Ming, who had been observing from the back of the crowd, realized that the core problem was that these wizards were too weak in combat...

This was completely different from the official wizarding qualities he remembered from the Demon Department. Not only were their spell proficiency and magical power levels high, but their teamwork was also very raw.

He shook his head. Although he was grateful for the wizards' rescue, he felt that if the magical girl didn't arrive soon, the group would be wiped out.

"The magical girl is here!!" a wizard exclaimed excitedly.

A golden light flew rapidly from afar, and a talisman with immense force pinned the illusory beast that had been forcing the wizard into retreat to the ground. Then, another figure arrived, stepping on the illusory beast's head. A thorny cage rose from the ground, like a pair of giant hands that tightly enveloped the illusory beast.

Xingyu did not continue her attack, but instead quickly scanned the crowd to look for Tang Ming. She had trapped five Void Beasts along the way, but still could not find Tang Ming. She did not find him even when she went up to the waiting hall, so she had no choice but to go down and search deeper into the tunnel on the other side.

Seeing Tang Ming standing against the wall at the end of the crowd, Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Ming's neatly pressed shirt was caught on the rocks, leaving strips that swayed in the wind. His face and skin were also hit by loose stones while he was dodging them, but fortunately, they were all superficial injuries...

Xingyu didn't know why, but after seeing that Tang Ming was alright, she felt a lump in her throat finally be released.

She snapped out of her daze atop the phantom beast, realizing everyone was staring at her curiously. Many wanted to thank her, but were puzzled as to why she had glanced at the crowd and then seemed lost in thought; the phantom beast beneath her wasn't even completely dead yet…

Xingyu's fair face flushed slightly, but the magical girl's body remained largely undetectable to others. She calmed herself, silently casting a spell to finish off the restless, swaying phantom beast beneath her feet, when a soft cracking sound reached her ears.

Cracks appeared in the arch above the tunnel, and they grew larger and larger in an instant.

"Wait...be careful!" Xingyu shouted.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, cracks gathered above Tang Ming's head, and the entire vault collapsed. Upon closer inspection, some pieces of the flesh of the Void Beast and residual foreign matter were mixed with broken concrete and fell down through the cracks.

Tang Ming subconsciously looked up, but the collapsed area was five or six meters wide, and he didn't even have time to take a step to escape.

Xingyu's pupils contracted, and the void beast beneath her feet was instantly stomped into a crater, propelling her forward like a cannonball. At the same time, she cast a spell, and a massive magical light screen unfolded above Tang Ming's head, like a dome trying to deflect everything above.

But in the next instant, the hastily cast light barrier was corroded by the alien substance flowing out of the virtual beast. The heavy concrete layer was smashed to pieces, and the light barrier dropped a few inches, exploding into countless golden fragments.
