Don't force me to use my right fist.

Chapter 137 Let's Be Friends

The girl, having reached the rooftop, didn't stop, continuing step by step towards the edge of the building. Beside her, several pale-faced figures floated, their pale, pupil-less eyes all focused on the girl approaching the edge. Upon closer inspection, one could see that these floating figures were all victims who had jumped to their deaths here.

"Come on, let's take flight, so that we can be free and liberated."

The figures, floating in mid-air like vengeful spirits, whispered in unison in the girl's ear, as if tempting her to float up with them. The girl reached out her hand to them, longing to fly freely like them.

"Are academic studies really that important? I'm almost suffocating under this pressure! Anyone would want to escape if they were constantly being pressured like this!" wh

"Even I want freedom! I'm not your puppet, why should I be controlled by you forever!"

Standing on the railing at the very edge of the building, the girl screamed in a near-breakdown, as if trying to vent her grief and anger.

"I don't want to learn so many things, and I don't want to learn that damn piano. I want to have free time to play like other classmates, and I even want to spend some time dating a boyfriend. What's wrong with that!" whl covered her face and squatted down, a tear streaming down her lifeless eyes.

"Yes, you're not wrong. You just want freedom, to fly freely in this sky like us, without having to think about anything or care about anything. That's enough."

A man's voice rang in the girl's ear, accompanied by the appearance of a long-haired, gloomy man. Unlike the other figures that merely floated in mid-air, his eyes had pupils, though they were simply bloodshot, adding only to his terrifying aura.

Moreover, he didn't have legs; instead, he was just a tattered cloth floating in mid-air, creating a strange and incongruous scene. It was he who had been whispering seductive words in the girl's ear, and it was he who had lured her to this place.

His voice seemed to contain some strange power, and as he whispered, the girl's eyes dimmed even more.

"Yes, I also long to fly like you, to fly freely without any constraints." Looking up at those terrifying figures floating in the air, the girl's eyes showed not fear, but rather envy.

"Then fly. Believe in yourself. As long as you clear your mind completely, you can definitely fly like us. Let's make one last effort, okay?" Wihl

"Then we'll be friends."

A sinister smile flashed across the long-haired man's face before he whispered something in her ear.

"Yes, just one last try and we can become friends." The girl, nodding in agreement and completely accepting his words as divine pronouncements, flipped over the barrier and stood on the outer edge of the rooftop.

With her arms outstretched as if she could truly fly, the girl took one last look at the floating figures in the sky.

"I can definitely do it too, just like you."

The girl took a deep breath and was about to jump when she accidentally saw the ground below, which looked like an abyss.

Like waking from a nightmare, the fear of heights brought her to a moment of clarity. Her legs could no longer support her, and her hands frantically tried to grab the handrail beside her.

"No, I don't want to jump, I'll die!" The girl, who finally realized her mistake, tried to struggle back to the rooftop, but what she saw was the man's twisted and crazed smile.

"How can you go back on your word? You can definitely fly too, so..." whl

"Fall!"

"That way we can become friends!"

As soon as he made a gentle push, the railing the girl was holding broke instantly, and she fell from the top of the dozens of stories high building with him.

"Ahhh~!" The girl in mid-air fainted because of this terrifying scene, and her screams stopped.

Just as the man on the rooftop was about to savor the fleeting moment of flesh shattering upon contact with the ground, he didn't hear the impact he craved. Looking down in confusion, he saw the girl who should have been falling, held aloft by a light blue ribbon. The ribbon, like a safety net, cushioned her fall, ultimately bringing her safely to the ground below.

A girl with golden, drill-like hair rushed out from the corner of the building, helped the girl who had fallen to the ground, checked her over, and then placed her in a safe corner.

She looked up, and even though they were dozens of floors apart, the girl's eyes met the man's.

"No, what have you done! I should have been more famous, but you let her live!" WHL shouted frantically, the long-haired man digging his fingers into WHL's hair, scratching it as if trying to materialize his hatred.

The girl below, however, became serious and walked directly into the building.

"It's alright, you're not bad either. No one can escape this. Having a special friend is fine too. - Take flight, - Let's pursue freedom together." The long-haired man, laughing maniacally like a madman, clenched his fist tightly, knowing the other party was definitely looking for him, and swung his hand forcefully at the figures behind him.

"Come on, let's go greet our new friend. She must be so excited!"

The figures floating in mid-air ignored the existence of the building and passed directly through the walls, floating towards the girl below. Their pale faces had their mouths wide open, as if continuing their death wails. These terrifying figures rapidly approached the girl below, accompanied by horrifying laughter emanating from their decaying throats.

Chapter 138 Sawa was just watching

While a major battle was about to erupt above, Saya wasn't idle either. Maintaining stealth with his rear end sticking out, he went unnoticed not only by Yamami but also by those monsters that looked like vengeful spirits but were also slightly different from others. This man, who consistently maintained an OMO (Online Motion) posture, remained completely undetected.

Sōyū stopped at the corner of the stairs, revealing half of his body to openly observe Ruō. For the time being, he only wanted to watch and had no intention of going up to help.

The main thing is that he felt that the current poses were not much different from hanging sandbags, and they did not look like the opponent of the girl in front of him at all.

Speaking of Yamami, Saiyu couldn't help but complain. After witnessing her somewhat embarrassing transformation, Saiyu could only say that she was still the senior he remembered, without much change. But he couldn't be too absolute, since the Soul Gem she used to transform was somewhat different from what he knew.

First, it was no longer a clear, teardrop-shaped gem, but rather resembled the large sphere with two smaller spheres, resembling a water molecule structure, which Saya had seen several times before. Perhaps for this reason, Saya wasn't too surprised when he saw her ribbons turn aquamarine. As long as the fur color hadn't changed, it was fine; magical girls are judged by fur color, not gemstone color. Nothing else had changed much, which was easily discernible from the way the girl was now resisting the attacks of those ghostly monsters. A row of tunnel guns made of aquamarine ribbons was placed in front of the girl. With a ballet-like, elegant movement, she picked them up from the ground, pulled the trigger at the attacking monsters, and then tossed them aside. The bullets, also made of ribbons and carrying magical power, struck the monsters, shattering their seemingly intangible bodies that could easily pass through walls. Hmm, judging from the magical power contained in these bullets, they were almost identical to those on the accessory the Blacksmith gave to Kaguya. This is quite interesting. All signs indicate that the power she uses seems to be inextricably linked to Aqua. But precisely because of this, Saiyu actually thinks it's a good thing. Not only for him, but also for the girl's body. At least if it's Aqua providing the magic, he doesn't have to worry about being manipulated by something like Kyubey, nor does he risk becoming a witch. And Saiyu is spared from dealing with those damned Incubators. To be honest, while it would be fun to fight them, they're also incredibly annoying. A race that's constantly plotting schemes, and the worst part is, they're impossible to kill—just thinking about it is disgusting enough.

I wonder how Yamami and Aqua got together, and it seems she doesn't even know that the idiot next to her is the source of her power. This world is truly full of interesting things; it's intriguing. Saya narrowed his eyes. While following the original storyline would make it easier for him to know everyone's strategies, it wouldn't be as interesting. A world full of unknowns like this is what makes him more eager to see what happens next.

Leaning against the wall, lost in thought, the battle over there was nearing its end. As long as her senior didn't randomly plant any strange flags, her combat strength was usually quite considerable. This was why Saya chose not to intervene for the time being. He didn't think she could be defeated by just a few minor monsters in this place; with the main culprit yet, it was questionable whether these small fry would even provide experience. Just as Saya had predicted, the monsters that had been killed by Mami's flintlock pistol, having just dissipated into thin air, quickly reappeared from every corner of the building, relentlessly clinging to her.

"Is she trying to wear her down first, or is she like me, wanting to see what other tricks she has up her sleeve?" Leaning lazily against the wall, Zuo You was practically ready to pull out a bag of sunflower seeds and a can of cola and sit down next to him. It was like a live-action version of a magical girl battling a vengeful spirit—even movies wouldn't dare film something like this.

Watching beautiful girls fight is a pleasure in itself, not to mention that the senior's fighting style is always as elegant as a ballerina's. The viewing experience is even better.

Upon noticing the reappearance of the anomalies that should have been dead, Mami showed no panic. These creatures were clearly controlled by other anomalies, and it was normal that they couldn't be killed before the main body was dealt with. Whether they even had their own consciousness was debatable; they might simply be a fragment of that anomaly's power. With a nimble turn, a volley of tunnel guns appeared out of thin air in front of the girl. Without her even pulling the trigger, the guns automatically fired at the approaching anomalies.

Another wave of attacks was easily thwarted, yet Mami's face remained wary. She understood his intention to exhaust her own strength, but similarly, she was also exhausting his. These guys' resurrection certainly hadn't been without cost. If it turned into a tug-of-war, she might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.

The strange creature, hidden somewhere, didn't seem to be in a hurry. It continued to command those cannon fodder-like fodder to charge towards Mami. The mentally polluting screams were quite a personal experience, but without a remote to lower the volume, it was still a bit noisy.

Zuo You picked at his ear. As an outsider, he knew perfectly well what the strange creature was planning. The seemingly mindless attacks of this group of small fry were actually just a cover for its conspiracy.

Zuoyou switched to the diamond sword and began to put on the armor piece by piece.

It's about time to make a move. We can't just stand by and watch these elite monsters steal our loot, even if we don't steal from the lowly ones.

Chapter 139 Is this really the world of the strong?

What Saya noticed, Yami, though she didn't show it, had also noticed. How to put it... as long as she didn't feel lightheaded, she was always the cautious type. So naturally, she also noticed that the wreckage inside the abandoned building was constantly moving towards her. But Mami didn't pretend to have noticed; instead, she continued to repel the constantly regenerating monsters, letting them continue their preparations. However, she wasn't idle; a light blue ribbon extended from beneath her feet, slowly seeping into the floor and then disappearing.

Finally, those bizarre charging movements stopped, and pale eyes looked at the relaxed-looking Hachima.

"Come on, fly with us. Let's become friends." A magnetic male voice came from behind them as they scattered in mid-air above Mami's head.

Frowning slightly, as if sensing some kind of power in the voice influencing her consciousness, Mami wrapped the ribbon around her wrist. A faint blue magical energy...

"Sorry, I have no interest in making friends with weirdos who never show their faces."

Picking up a flintlock pistol from beside her and smashing one of the strange creatures in mid-air, Hachimami shook her head, rejecting the suggestion.

"No one can refuse to be my friend, not even you." The strange creature, which should have dissipated, was now only half its body, yet it still gave her an eerie smile.

"Then let's give it a try and see if you can do it." Countless blue ribbons shot out from under Mami's feet, binding all the guys floating in the sky.

"Since killing them all will lead to their endless resurrection, if I'm just binding them, could you release them?" A ribbon enveloped in blue magic wrapped around the monsters' bodies, quickly coiling them like prey in a spider's web. Below, Mami moved like an elegant hunter. The creature hidden in the shadows clearly hadn't anticipated Mami's move. The magnetic voice ceased, but instead, the whooshing sound of various reinforced concrete debris hurtling through the air followed. Mami sidestepped, the ribbon pulling her away from the debris's attack range, lifting her to the top floor. From the beginning, she had been trying to pinpoint the source of the voice, and it turned out he had never left the rooftop.

Although the reason is unknown, once the person is found, the only thing left to do is get rid of this strange creature.

That is her mission; from the moment she became a magical girl, she was already prepared for it.

The flying debris and steel could not stop the girl's actions; they were all stopped by the light blue ribbons that appeared out of nowhere.

They made their way to the top floor without any obstacles, and Mami finally saw the figure of the legless man with long hair.

You're the culprit behind all of this. How truly ugly.

Aiming her flintlock pistol at the figure floating in mid-air, Mami clearly didn't want to say anything more to him. She pulled the trigger directly.

The bullet flew towards the other person's head, but was stopped mid-air by a floorboard placed on the roof of the abandoned building. The dilapidated building was already on the verge of collapse, let alone the floor and walls. If an earthquake or something similar happened nearby, the entire building might collapse. The long-haired man simply stared at Mami with his eerie and terrifying eyes, lowered his hand from in front of him, and then moved it to a pile of building rubble nearby.

"I just want to give them freedom, which is what they want themselves. What's wrong with letting them be free and flying freely like me?" The man continued to entice Mami, moving his hand toward where Mami was.

"There's nothing wrong with it, the only bad thing is that you still exist in this world." Mami coldly watched the flying debris, decisively leaping away from her position. The remaining ribbons transformed into a circle of spears, knocking all the pursuing debris to the ground. This place was practically the opponent's home turf; no wonder he didn't want to come down from the rooftop. Such a wide-open space, coupled with his advantage of flight, made it difficult to target him. Just as Mami was considering whether to use some magic to change the current situation, a strange aura appeared out of nowhere in her perception.

"There's another strange one?"

Mami frowned. She wasn't surprised by the sudden appearance of another anomaly, but rather by its ability to approach within her perception range without being detected—that was the most terrifying thing. The anomaly opposite her had clearly sensed the other's presence as well, lowering its grip on the wreckage and entering a state of observation. Just as the two were warily anticipating the sudden intruder's arrival, a large hole was suddenly chiseled into the rooftop floor.

A pumpkin head poked out from the big hole, glanced at Mami, and then looked at the strange creature floating in mid-air.

"Is this the world of the strong?"

Saya climbed out of the hole by placing two blocks under his feet—he had no choice but to resort to this tactic because he couldn't find the stairs to the rooftop. However, it was clear that it wasn't too late. Asami hadn't managed to defeat her yet, so if he tried to steal the monster now, he shouldn't incur her wrath, right?

Saya deliberately lowered his voice, making it hoarse, and looked at the strange creature floating in mid-air.

Since it can communicate and has a special consciousness, it would be unreasonable for this kind of monster not to drop some good stuff.

"She's my target!" The long-haired man, who thought Saya had come to compete with him for Mami, roared at Saya, his expression becoming even more distorted.

"Okay, do as you please, I don't mind." Zuo You shrugged and pointed his longsword at the other's head.

"After all, I'm here to kill you."

Chapter 140 Come here!

Mami looked at the newly appeared anomaly with wariness. Unlike the guy opposite her, who could be described as having somewhat strange abilities, this one was completely incomprehensible. And judging from its appearance, was it also after the anomaly, just like her? Although Saya said so, Mami didn't believe him. Anomalies weren't trustworthy. Maybe it was just saying that to mislead her.

However, a hasty attack was clearly not a good plan; observing the situation was the best course of action at present. Flintlock pistols continued to spawn at Mami's feet, showing a clear intention to turn this place into her armed base.

Seeing that she didn't attack first, Sōyu nodded, then looked at the strange creature opposite him with relief.

Sure enough, she wouldn't mind me stealing her monster. Well, that makes sense, since we're not using Soul Gems now, and there's no need to fight to the death for the Seed of Lamentation.

Moreover, whether the strange creature will drop a Seed of Lamentation is another matter entirely. No one would be unhappy about sitting on the sidelines and watching the tigers fight.

Sōyū actually misspoke. There are still people who care, such as the long-haired man on the other side who is currently in a state of impotent rage.

His eyes turned even bloodshot. His attack, interrupted by Saya's appearance, now focused his hatred on the man who had threatened to kill him.

Since he likes to talk so much, let him face death first! The hand that had been lowered began to manipulate the rubble and debris on the ground again, and the strange long-haired man flung them towards the location where Sawa was.

"Oh, you play with building attacks too, huh?" Zuoyou couldn't help but retort as he watched the other player control a pile of rubble to smash towards him.

Playing this in front of blocky figures is like asking Guan Yu for a broadsword. Two pickaxes quickly appeared in his palms, and Zuo You saw that the flying building debris showed no sign of dodging.

"Is it because of the defensive capabilities of that strange armor?"

Mami, who had been watching from the sidelines, narrowed her eyes. The armor on the strange figure in front of her shimmered with an odd color, and she could also see that it was protected by a layer of magic. Only then did she guess why Saya wasn't dodging.

But Mami was wrong. Saya didn't want to get beaten up for nothing, as that would only reduce the durability of her equipment and serve no other purpose.

More importantly, that's not cool enough.
