After get off work, I become a magical girl

"Isn't that still a species level..."

Mo Ke muttered to himself, but did not refute Lin Xiaolu's statement.

Because what Lin Xiaolu said was true. In the past few months, although she had never reached the limit of her ability, her magic power had never stopped growing.

At the beginning, her magic power was almost the same as that of an average species, but as she grew since then, especially after the battle in the welfare home, it has now reached a level far beyond her species level.

If Lin Xiaolu had not yet completed her Kaihua and obtained her own magic outfit, no one would have thought that she was just a species.

"You two, stop arguing at this time."

Xia Liang smiled helplessly and re-activated his magic suit: "Let's concentrate on knocking this big guy down now, shall we?"

"……makes sense."

Lin Xiaolu, who originally wanted to argue with Mo Ke, immediately stopped thinking about it, looked at the increasingly frantic beast not far away, and tightened her wand again: "The battle has not been won yet, it's a little too early to celebrate now."

Bai Jingxuan on the side did not interrupt, but silently released her magic and played the music of the music box.

The battle thus resumed.

The biggest advantage of pupa-level remnant beasts over lower-level remnant beasts is that they have their own nests and pupa shells with naturally high defensive power.

And now, this pupa, for some reason, appeared alone in the center of the city, without its own nest space around it. This also means that there are no eggs or larvae around it for it to command and drive, and its combat capability is greatly weakened.

The magical girls found a way to crack the remnant beast's defense, which was equivalent to finding the key to defeating it, enough to eliminate all the advantages of the remnant beast in the evolutionary level. Therefore, the battle inevitably became one-sided.

Xia Liang was in the lead, Bai Jingxuan provided the amplification, and Lin Xiaolu provided the magic power. The three of them worked together to shoot out one magic beam after another through the transformation of the magic equipment - such a strong impact could not even be called a magic beam, it was more appropriate to call it a bombardment.

The continuous bombardment forced the pupa in the air to retreat step by step. It kept wailing and screaming, with more and more wounds on its body, and its movements became weaker and weaker.

Obviously, it couldn't hold out much longer.

"Moko! Take my phone!"

After finishing another round of bombardment, Lin Xiaolu took out her cell phone from the pocket of her apron and handed it to Mo Ke: "After we get rid of this big guy, remember to take a picture for Delphinium to see!"

"...Are you too excited?"

Mo Ke took the phone helplessly: "You treat the battle so frivolously, be careful not to show the photos to the patrol officer and get criticized."

"Delphinium would never do that." Lin Xiaolu did not comment.

"I think it's better for me to tell the young senior the whole story first, right?"

Xia Liang suggested, "Although we rashly challenged the Pupa-level beast and won by taking advantage of the time and place, she will still be worried when she finds out, right?"

"It's better not to scare the teacher." Bai Jingxuan also added in a low voice.

"Hmm... that's true."

Lin Xiaolu floated in the air and thought for a while, then raised her wand again: "Well, let's discuss how to report the rest later, but now..."

She stopped mid-sentence.

Not only her, Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang beside her also stopped suddenly. The three of them looked at the ground not far away at the same time.

The purple-black light column in the center of the block emitted a dazzling light, which naturally cast shadows on objects in the air, reflecting them on the ground and stretching them infinitely.

And at this moment, at some unknown moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.

This is an extremely long and thin shadow that was projected from the air. It was very faint at first, but as it spread to the feet of the magical girl, it turned into a dark color as thick as ink.

Judging from its shape and outline, the shadow looked like an extremely huge moth.

At this moment, the owner of the shadow was quietly floating in front of the remnant beast. Compared with the huge remnant beast, its body was not worth mentioning, just like an ant compared to an elephant. But the shadow under its feet almost covered the entire block in front of it, far exceeding the size of the pupa-level remnant beast.

Surrounded by the dark shadow beneath him, the huge sense of oppression and crisis washed over the nerves of several magical girls. Without a doubt, everyone could sense that he was not a good person.

Just facing the owner of the shadow from a distance, Lin Xiaolu felt difficulty breathing, the magic power around her became extremely slow, even her heartbeat began to accelerate, and her body was tense as if she had met a natural enemy.

She widened her eyes slightly, quickened her breathing, stared at the figure in the distance, and silently clenched the wand in her hand.

She felt extremely familiar with this feeling of tension and oppression. In fact, she had experienced this feeling more than once, so she could easily tell its essence: it was the premonition of death when facing a fatal threat.

The owner of the shadow did not move at all, as if he was observing several magical girls in the distance, floating motionlessly like a sculpture.

After a brief stalemate, the unknown existence flickered slightly.

When his figure flashed and reappeared, he was already less than a few meters away from the magic girls. This frightened the magic girls who were already on high alert, and Lin Xiaolu reacted as if by chance, raising her hand and shooting a magic bullet.

However, this magic bullet did not have any effect. It could not even reach the mysterious figure in front of it. When it was about to get close to the other party, it inexplicably disappeared.

The girls then saw the face of the person clearly - it was a man in a black robe.

The other person had a slender body, and his whole body was covered by a black robe, so no features could be seen. And the magical girls present actually had an impression of that black robe - the last time they saw this style of clothing was on the man called "Bingchu San" in the welfare home.

“…Dawn of Darkness.”

Lin Xiaolu read out the name she heard at that time.

The black-robed man in front of him was also very different from the man at that time.

The surface of the other party's black robe had more complex and delicate dark golden patterns. The image formed was still evil, but its outline could be clearly identified: it was a golden moth with its wings spread.

The other person's black robe was topped with a tall hat, which replaced the hood of the robe. The long brim of the hat was pulled down very low, covering the face underneath and hiding his features.

“You guys really exceeded my expectations.”

The black-robed man suddenly spoke, and a hoarse female voice came out from under his hat: "It only took five months to grow to this point, and even be able to suppress the remnant beasts of the Pupa stage. This is very rare among magical girls."

Her words seemed like a compliment, but none of the magical girls thought she was complimenting them.

"……who are you?"

As the first person to regain his composure among the group, Xia Liang reached out to stop the somewhat nervous Lin Xiaolu and spoke first: "You are hiding your head and showing your tail. You don't even dare to reveal your true identity when you do bad things?"

She was actually very nervous, so her voice was a little hoarse. But in this situation, she did not forget to provoke the other party and try to get information from him.

She thought very clearly: the mysterious man in black robe in front of her was probably not an enemy that the three of them could deal with. If something unexpected happened next, they had to at least find out the enemy's identity and spread it.

"An obvious thoughtful child. What a lovely child."

Xia Liang's crude provocation obviously didn't work against the black-robed man, but he didn't seem angry. Instead, he said with a hint of smile, "Well, as supporters of the Lord, we have never bothered to hide our names."

She reached out, grabbed the hat on her head, and pulled it off. A somewhat old, aged face appeared in front of them.

She was a blonde, somewhat elderly woman with a peaceful smile on her face.

"Nice to meet you, kids from Fangting City. My name is Moss."

As she said this, she bowed slightly, as if she was greeting. "Or you can translate my name from the Western language and describe it in the language of your Donghua Province, calling me moth."

Chapter 140

2023-05-05

Under the purple-black light of the night, the roar of the remaining beasts gradually subsided with the sound of Moss's words.

Even though its body was still covered with sores and the calluses wrapped around it were covered with scars, Moss's appearance was like a special signal, making it quiet again, like a well-behaved pet.

"Be careful, this woman is dangerous!"

Moko, who was lying on Lin Xiaolu's shoulder, reminded her seriously, but no one present cared about what it said.

Except for Moss, the magical girls were all on high alert.

"Well, before the main show begins, let me check and confirm. The child with green magic power... you are the sacrifice child found by the subordinates of Touch, right? It's a good thing that those incompetent ants couldn't take you away."

Turning her head, Moss looked at Bai Jingxuan beside her, maintaining a peaceful smile on her face: "You have a great smell, different from ordinary magical girls, but closer to those bastards."

Her words stunned Bai Jingxuan.

What Moss was talking about was obviously the attack on the welfare home by Bingchu San and others a few months ago. This statement seemed to indicate that the attack was actually related to her. However, she obviously did not intend to expand on this topic. She only mentioned it briefly and quickly turned her eyes to Xia Liang who was standing aside.

"2 months of bud level, 5 months... Is this almost reaching the leaf level? Really a terrifying talent, a terrifying child. If left alone, you will probably become a very remarkable existence in the country in the future."

She pretended to sigh, then looked at the heart gem on Xia Liang's chest without disguising, and licked her lips inexplicably: "So, your magic power will also be the best ingredient."

Her pointed words made Xia Liang, who was always smiling, turn down his lips and reveal a somewhat cold expression.

Moss continued to move her gaze, and after evaluating the other two people one after another, she turned her gaze to Lin Xiaolu.

"…It's a bit regrettable. It really doesn't look like them at all."

She said, "As a magical girl, you are too ordinary compared to your mother."

Just one sentence made Lin Xiaolu's expression change drastically.

"Why do you know this?"

Gripping the wand tightly in her hand, Lin Xiaolu said in a deep voice: "Have you seen my mother? What do you want to express?"

"Don't be so nervous, kid. What I want to say depends on what you want to know."

Moss's expression was gentle. If you didn't consider the occasion, her expression would be like that of a kind elder. "I know a lot of things you don't know. You can learn about them slowly before the real show begins."

"I don't think someone who turned the city centre into a wreck would show up just to chat and act as a caring grandmother for a while."

Xia Liang, who was standing by, suddenly spoke up and asked calmly, "You must have some other plan, otherwise there would be no need for you to show up."

"Smart, you are right."

Moss clapped her hands and praised: "But you may be wrong. My plan has already been completed. There is no point in discussing the process. Now I just need some audiences."

"Audience?" Xia Liang caught the word.

"Yes, audience. It took two years, 2 cities, nine altars, so much preparation, just for this moment."

Moss smiled and said, "Such a wonderful scene would be too lonely if there were no audience."

"…2?"

This was a year that was enough to cause stress reactions for both Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu. So even Lin Xiaolu noticed something was wrong in an instant.

"Yes, two years."

Moss raised her chin slightly: "It started with the death of the magical girl codenamed Sakura, your mother."

In an instant, Lin Xiaolu's pupils contracted.

This was the first time she heard her mother's code name from the enemy's mouth.

She had already learned from her father that her mother died as a magical girl, but from beginning to end, she didn't know the ins and outs of the matter.
