Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

She did not use the black sickle with golden patterns, but instead clenched her fist and hit Lin's fist straight at it.

Even though this was Rin's full-strength attack, she was only a Star Magical Girl after all. In terms of physical enhancement, she was no match for the advanced-class Magical Girls, let alone the super-class Celian.

So even though she used Tai Chi, a martial art that relieves force, she still couldn't withstand the weight of Celian's punch.

As several crisp cracking sounds were heard, Rin's arm began to twist.

Celian actually broke several bones in her arm, and her body flew backwards in an instant.

Even though she took advantage of the force of Celian's attack to gather with the large force behind her and leave the void world with them, she didn't expect an extremely strong attraction to act directly on her, forcibly pulling her back.

"The door is open, hurry out!" The Tokyo branch member who was responsible for opening the door shouted in surprise, but what came into her ears was Katerina's exclamation.

When Meiko Anten saw that Rin was about to be caught by Celian, she broke away from the protection circle formed by the Tokyo branch without any hesitation.

"cold!"

With the help of the suction released by Celian, she quickly approached Rin, grabbed her arm and took her place. A magic light ball was released in front of Rin, and with the full force of Anten Meiko, it turned into a thrust that pushed her towards the direction of Katzelina and the others.

"Everyone leave here immediately!" There was a questioning attitude in her tone. Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and looked at An Teng Meizi blankly as she turned around and faced the witches again.

"Their target is me, get out of here!"

If they still choose to stay here, no one can leave today, so someone must sacrifice and stay, and the only person who can be this person is Meiko Anten herself, who is the target of the witch.

"no……"

"Go!" The word was almost squeezed out from between his teeth, and it was said in a decisive manner. Without giving them any chance to respond, he turned around and drew his sword to chop at Celian.

Seeing that she looked like she wanted to die, Li hurriedly tried to rush over, but was stopped by Katerina and another person from the Tokyo branch.

"Listen to her, let's go!"

"No, you can't do this! You can't leave her there alone! Maru Go, go help her!"

Maru just heard Li's order and was about to break away from the group of entangled witches and rush towards Celian, but two silver light wheels silently pierced his chest, bringing up a white blood rain.

His body slowly became ethereal, as if he was about to vanish from this world at any moment like a ghost. Before he completely vanished, he gave Li an apologetic look.

Maru Gang disappeared, but he was not dead. He was a familiar who had signed a magic contract, so if he suffered a fatal attack, he would be protected by the contract and sent into the familiar space.

Seeing that Li was still resisting and wanted to stay, Rin had no choice but to have someone carry her away. In the end, she turned around and silently glanced at Anten Meiko, her heart aching so much that it was twitching.

"Yezi, please don't get into trouble. If something happens to you, how am I going to explain to your cousin when he comes back..." He shouted at the back of An Teng Yazi in the distance, and then without hesitation, he turned around and went into the door to the present world.

The departure of the Tokyo branch members can be said to be safe and sound, because no witch had the idea of ​​chasing them, and they just surrounded Meiko Anten who stayed behind to cover their retreat.

"Why did you leave her in there alone? Do you know that you will kill her? And Katerina, why didn't you stop her from rushing out?"

Katerina shook her head, her eyes dimming a little, but her expression didn't change much. "She told me before she rushed out that these witches were after her Body of Destiny, so they wouldn't hurt her."

Hearing this, Li angrily stepped forward, grabbed Katerina's collar, and lifted her up. "So what? Are we just going to watch her get captured and tortured?"

"If it weren't for you, why would she risk her life and go alone into the enemy camp to rescue you?"

Katerina's expression changed slightly, a rare change in her expression. She seemed to be caught off guard. She could only lower her eyes and apologize repeatedly: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Seeing her expression, Li's heart trembled slightly. She suddenly realized that she seemed to be overwhelmed by anger at this moment, so much so that she did this to her friend in a state of unconsciousness.

She gently put Katerina down, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. Her emotions finally calmed down a little.

"I'm sorry... I was too impulsive just now."

Rin dragged her twisted and drooping arm behind them, stretched out her still-moving left hand and patted her shoulder. "Katerina is right. Since they want Meiko, they won't hurt her until they achieve their goal. Even if they torture her, at least her life won't be seriously injured."

Li nodded and looked at Lin's arm with some guilt: "I'm sorry, your hand..."

"It's okay. You know we're magical girls, so this kind of injury will heal quickly. But you're just too worried. Even at a time like this, you need to calm down and think of a way out."

In the void world, Meiko Anten stood in the middle of the witches' encirclement in a panic. She had almost lost all ability and means to resist and could only allow those attacks, which had been weakened several times, to fall on her.

At this moment, she seemed to have become a football being kicked around, or a small boat that had to withstand the stormy waves alone.

Just as her magic power was about to run out, her body became more and more resilient under such torture. The enhanced magic power that seeped out of her body seemed to turn into a fire dragon, circling unsteadily.

"When she is thirsty for magic power, the Sky Flame Dragon Ball is actually actively establishing a connection with her body? What's going on?" After Vita in the consciousness space noticed the physical condition of Anten Meiko, he frowned and muttered to himself.

Even the old monster who had lived for countless years and traveled through countless dimensions of the world could not figure out what had happened to Anten Meiko.

The Sky Flame Dragon Ball had been forged into an ownerless object that had lost its spirituality and mark. Logically, if it was not deliberately activated, it should still lie quietly in the magic space.

"No, her body is unconsciously absorbing the power within the Sky Flame Dragon Ball, and then using the external pressure to temper her entire body?"

Although this tempering method is painful as it is attacked from both inside and outside, it is extremely effective.

If Meiko Anten can survive this time, her body will definitely be further strengthened, and then she will be able to use body strengthening magic further.

"Get down, you little sis." Celian put away her sickle and slapped Anten Meiko's chest through her defense.

The already shaky Anten Meiko vomited a mouthful of blood at this moment. Her body was not knocked back by the force, but she slowly leaned back and finally fell to the ground.

Celia's pupils twitched at this moment.

If she hadn't taken action this time, she wouldn't have realized that Anten Meiko had actually fainted a long time ago. She just didn't know what force allowed her to still maintain a standing posture.

The red dragon shadow surrounding her completely dissipated as she fell to the ground. They finally caught the owner of the Body of Destiny who had single-handedly blocked their way for so long.

Even if Meiko Anten's true combat power is not inferior to that of a super-class magical girl, they actually possess enough power to crush her.

Just as Meiko Anten guessed, the Staff of God wanted to obtain the complete body of destiny, so the witches were merciful, fearing that they would harm her life.

This made them a little timid and they didn't dare to take strong action easily, which ultimately delayed Anten Meiko for such a long time.

Rin and others returned to the Tokyo branch and brought this news to the current commander Jing. After hearing that all the cadres of the God's Staff except the top cadre were summoned for the sake of Anten Meiko alone, her face gradually darkened.

They took away the things that were sealed in various places under the dragon veins, captured the dragon-level void lizard, and now they have taken the body of destiny. It is not difficult to guess what they want to do, but there are too few clues at present, so we cannot be sure.

"Syphias, Tianji, you were once second only to the cadres in the Staff of God, so I guess you should know where the Staff of God's base is?"

Li and Katharina nodded simultaneously, but Li sighed softly and said, "The place we know about is similar in nature to this place. It's just a branch of the God's Staff in Tokyo. As for where the headquarters is, with our authority, we have no way of knowing."

Both the Rod of God and the Shield of God have a headquarters, but compared to the Shield of God, the Rod of God's headquarters is more mysterious, because only when you truly become a cadre can you know its true location.

But where can we find a witch cadre to ask about the location of the God's Staff headquarters?

Thinking of this, Li's eyes suddenly widened a little. Doesn't she have a witch cadre at home right now?

Even though Iris, the former witch, was only ranked at the bottom among the witch cadres, she was still a genuine cadre after all, and it was impossible for her to not have information from the headquarters.

"It seems like you seem to be making some progress." Jing seemed to notice the change in Li's expression and smiled at her.

Li nodded and said, "Well, there are some. I will do my best to investigate this matter. Once I have any news, I will tell you."

"Then I'll trouble you. We'll keep the fact that Ruby was captured by the Staff of God a secret for the time being..."

Before Jing could finish her words, the assistant beside her suddenly said with a serious expression: "Commander, there is news from the headquarters that the magical girl Ruby has been captured by the Staff of God."

Volume 5: Light and Darkness: Chapter 41: Word Spirits

"What did you say?"

"News came from headquarters that Ruby has been captured by the Staff of God." The assistant repeated, then looked at Jing with some confusion, "Commander, isn't this a bad sign?"

Jing nodded, but this was not what she cared about.

After Li and her group came out of the void world over at the abandoned factory area, they immediately returned to the Tokyo branch base. Logically speaking, they should be the first-hand informants. Now, how did the news of Ando Meiko's capture reach the headquarters and spread there?

She still remembered the last time she spoke with Kamijou Asahina on the phone, the latter said that there was a traitor in the Aegis headquarters, which meant that the news about Ando Meiko was spread by this traitor.

But why would they do this?

The fact that Ando Meiko might be the Body of Destiny is already known to many high-ranking officials in the entire Aegis, including Asahina. It is impossible for the insider in the headquarters not to know about this.

So if the news that Ando Meiko was captured by the Staff of God gets out, aren't they afraid that the Shield of God will use all its strength to attack them and rescue Ando Meiko?

Thinking of this, Jing looked at Lin and others who were still sitting beside her waiting for her instructions and said, "You guys should go back today. I will inform you as soon as there is any news."

Everyone nodded and had no intention of staying any longer. They said goodbye to each other and packed up to go home.

Meiko Ando slowly opened her eyes. She opened her mouth to say something, but a mouthful of cold, bitter liquid with a strange taste poured into her throat, causing her to cough violently.

With every cough, a light blue liquid would spray out, and it was only then that she realized that she was being trapped in a narrow culture medium filled with liquid with her body exposed.

Her arms and back were filled with various connecting tubes. Although she didn't feel any pain, it looked very strange.

She raised her sore arm and punched the inner wall of the culture medium. The force was cushioned a lot by the liquid, but the remaining force still caused the culture medium to tremble slightly.

Meiko Ando looked at the scene in disbelief.

Even without using body strengthening magic, her full-strength punch could bend a steel plate several centimeters thick, but now her punch was completely useless against this seemingly fragile glass.

After being surprised, she quickly calmed down, closed her eyes and felt what was happening inside her body.

It was unknown how much time had passed since she fell into a coma, and the magic power in the first space and even the second space had returned to its peak state.

Although her magic power had been fully restored, the strange thing was that no matter how she tried to control it, the magic power in the two spaces seemed to be sealed and could not move at all, and could not leave the storage space at all.

[What's going on? My magic power...is no longer usable.]

【Look at the bottom glass for yourself.】

Hearing Vita's familiar voice, Ando Meiko lowered her head to check the bottom of the culture medium glass, where there was a transparent circle surrounded by special words.

After seeing these words, Ando Meiko also had some clues.

These words were the magical words that Vita passed on to her and were engraved in her memory. The sentences composed of these words, when translated into human language, roughly mean: Those who are within are prohibited from using magic power.

This is another use of the Dharma text from the second chapter of the Demonic Sanskrit book, called Word Spirit.

[Word spirit? What is that?]

If magic circles are your programming techniques, then a word spirit is one of the commands within it. It's actually similar to a magic seal, but with a single purpose. The most important point is that while it can't be used to form a magic circle, it can be attached to an object, granting it certain abilities.

"I see. So, the glass that's trapped me is enchanted with a spirit that prevents me from using magic... That's really troublesome." Ando Meiko thought to herself.

Not being able to use magic power meant that she could not use body strengthening magic. With her current strength, it was impossible for her to break the thick bulletproof glass that trapped her.

[I have a way that might help you break open this big jar.]

[Oh? Can you tell me about it?]

Could she really do this in her current physical condition without being able to use magic? At least she didn't think she had that ability.

【Can your consciousness come in first? 】

【Um. 】

Meiko Anten nodded, and then with a thought, she projected her consciousness into the consciousness space to meet Vita inside.

"Strange, where's Ruby? Why is this usually boisterous girl gone?"

"You've been with her for so long, don't you know her consciousness is in that ruby? You've been stripped naked, so naturally the necklace was taken away as well."

"I know, I mean where was she taken?"

Vita shrugged and said, "You might know if you ask those people, but forget about asking me."

"Okay, let's put this question aside for now." Ruby is different from ordinary transformers. She has self-awareness and can use long-distance teleportation magic to return to her side.

The most likely reason why she couldn't communicate with Ruby now was because of this word spirit, because not only could she not contact Ruby through her thoughts, she also couldn't sense Nanako's location through the contract.

Of course, as long as we get out of here, this problem will naturally be solved.

"So what's your solution?"

Vita pointed her finger slightly forward, and suddenly a ray of light shot out from her fingertips, solidified in the space in front of them, and then unfolded into a projection screen.

"Don't worry, I'll show you something."

Meiko Anten carefully observed the content on the screen. It seemed strange but also familiar. Only after thinking about it carefully did she realize something.

The reason why it felt familiar was because this was the scene where she sacrificed herself to protect everyone in the Tokyo branch from leaving. The reason why it felt unfamiliar was because she had completely fallen into a coma when she was being beaten like a sandbag, so she was completely unaware of this.

"That's not the point. Look at what changes have taken place in you."

"Change? What changes..."

Before she could finish her words, she suddenly discovered that red, flame-like magic power was sweeping around her like a storm, and as the magic power surged, it turned into the shadow of a giant dragon.

The shadow of the giant dragon was crawling, just wrapping her whole body inside itself. And didn’t the dragon look like Vita’s real body, the Sky Flame Dragon?
