Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

In other words, they basically run from the depths of their nests to the ground to cause trouble, and although these void beasts look only at the ghost level, the power they actually possess is much higher than that of ordinary ghosts.

So even though every city sent out a lot of magical girls to fight against the void beasts, except for some cities with super-class magical girls, the effect obtained in other places was not as good as expected.

Although the appearance of Meiko Anten was not like a savior to them, it was like a timely help.

"You are such a nice guy. This delay has taken a whole day." Vita laughed. The journey that was supposed to take half a day took a whole day and they still hadn't arrived.

Meiko Anten shrugged and said, "I didn't know that almost every city was being attacked by Void Beasts. I don't know what happened in the past year... How is Tokyo doing?"

Thinking about this, she randomly landed in front of a house, opened the door and walked in: "Excuse me."

Of course, no one would respond to the house in the void world, so she didn't act pretentiously. She opened the bedroom door and closed her eyes to sleep on someone else's bed.

Flying for a long time alone would not make her feel tired, but it was different when fighting was involved, especially since there would be a void beast attack almost every ten kilometers or so, which made her extremely annoyed.

Even though her body would not feel tired due to the replenishment of magic, her spirit would still be tired, so she finally chose to rest for a while.

During her sleep, she did not communicate with Vita and Ruby, but fell into a deep sleep.

There is actually a reason why she can sleep peacefully. Her body will absorb magic power and automatically adjust its state when it is completely relaxed. This so-called complete relaxation refers to sleeping.

The next morning, Meiko Anten opened her eyes and felt that her body had recovered to perfect condition. She stretched herself feeling refreshed.

"Okay, let's start today's journey."

After leaving the house where she slept, Meiko Anten spread her phoenix wings again and flew into the sky, then quickly flew towards Tokyo.

The situation today was no different from yesterday. There were many void beasts attacking cities along the way, but the difference was that the magical girls in those cities all showed some fatigue in their eyes.

After helping the magical girls of a city, Meiko Anten did not leave in a hurry this time, but stayed with them for a while.

"By the way, when I was coming along this road, I noticed that many surrounding cities were being attacked by Void Beasts. What's going on? I remember that a year ago, there were very few Void Beasts appearing."

Faced with this question from Anten Meiko, the captain of the Magical Girls Squad hesitated for a moment: "Senior, are you the Magical Girl of the Shield?"

An Teng Meizi nodded and said, "That's right, but for some reasons, I can't tell you my identity. Please forgive me for that."

"It's okay. Since you're also a magical girl of Aegis, there's nothing to hide. It's like this..."

After hearing the captain's story, An Teng Meizi went through several changes and finally locked on shock. She didn't expect that the culprit for the void beasts from all over the place rushing towards the ground at the same time was the dragon vein pulse that day.

Although the large amount of primordial ether gushing onto the ground did not have much impact on the seal itself, its magic-repelling property caused the seal of the void rift to show signs of loosening.

This slight loosening allowed the breath from the other side of the void crack to leak into the void world, thereby triggering some instincts of the void beasts hiding underground, causing them to drill out of the ground one after another.

This sign became increasingly obvious six months ago, and later almost every city was attacked by two or three waves of void beasts every day.

However, the highest level of the void beasts that attacked the city was only ghost-level. Although there were signs of large-scale attacks in various places, there had been no reports of dragon-level void beasts so far.

This may be a good news among many bad news, because if the dragon-level void beasts also joined the attack, the city’s defense line would probably not hold out for long and would fall completely.

After all, even the weakest newborn dragon-level is not something that ordinary advanced magical girls can deal with, and there are not many people who can reach the super-level class. Even if there are, they do not have the ability to travel back and forth between places in a short period of time.

"Thank you for the information. If we have the chance to meet again next time, I will treat you to milk tea." After getting the information she wanted to know, An Teng Meizi did not stop. She moved and came to the air.

"Wait, Senior, can you tell me who you are? I will definitely come to thank you when I have time later."

"No need to thank me, I'm just a magical girl passing by."

"Meizi, I don't know if you noticed."

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, that's probably the case. Maybe the situation is worse than I thought."

"If that's the case, it's going to be troublesome. You know, the number of these alien creatures far outnumbers you humans."

Listening to the crosstalk-like conversation between An Teng Meizi and Vita, Ruby couldn't help but say, "Master! Old woman! What are you talking about? Stop being a riddler! Let me hear it too!"

Obviously, although her brain was not very bright, she did not like the feeling of being excluded.

"Nothing much. It's just that based on yesterday's battle with [the antagonist], we deduced that there must be someone behind these Void Beasts, controlling them."

"Eh? Is that so? Why do I feel like their movements are similar?"

"The movements are similar, but the coordination is strange. It's like they're consciously arranging their troops, and there are initial signs of coordination. Given the intelligence of the Ghost-level Void Beasts, which still act according to instinct, how could they possibly coordinate with each other?"

Ruby suddenly understood after hearing Anten Meiko's explanation: "I understand. So, the reason they can cooperate with each other must be controlled by a more powerful and intelligent Void Beast."

She remembered that when she entered the nest with Lianhua a year ago, she had heard the latter mention that the prototype domain of the dragon-level void beast did not only increase strength, defense, and speed.

The functions of the prototype field are actually varied and strange, which was confirmed when Anten Meiko encountered the void lizard.

Among these various embryonic domains, there is a domain that can command or even control the Void Beasts. This kind of domain will make the Dragon-level Void Beast truly become the brain of the Void Beast group, and this kind of embryonic domain is also the most troublesome.

Because the Void Beasts are similar to powerful wild beasts. Although these beasts are strong, they lack wisdom. Once there is a leading king among the wolves, their combat effectiveness will increase exaggeratedly under the leadership of the king.

But this is also what makes Anten Meiko feel strange. Logically speaking, the prototype domain of the command-type void beast should not affect too large a range, and she has passed through countless cities along the way here. It is impossible that there is a command-type dragon-level existence underground in every city, right?

Then how terrifying would the number of these dragon-level creatures be? Moreover, shouldn't this kind of field with special abilities be extremely rare?

"Could it be god-level?" At the mention of this word, An Teng Meizi's body shuddered instantly, "No, it can't be, it shouldn't be god-level, otherwise we wouldn't have won so easily."

Meiko Anten breathed a sigh of relief as if to comfort herself, and then turned her gaze to the next city, where there seemed to be waves of fighting again.

This process of fighting and traveling continued for another two days. After finally seeing a familiar tall tower standing in the distance, Meiko Anten knew that she had arrived at the edge of Tokyo.

"It's much later than I thought. I don't know what the situation is like here."

"Where are you going first, Master? Back to the Tokyo branch, or to Rei's house?"

"Neither. I need to go back to headquarters to confirm what happened here first."

She made up her mind, then turned around and was about to head towards Akihabara, but at this moment an extremely strong magical wave suddenly came over.

This fluctuation is far stronger than what Anten Meiko had encountered before. Although it has not reached the level of a newborn dragon, it should be only one step away from the dragon level.

"I don't know who from the Tokyo branch is fighting over there, but since I've encountered them, I might as well go and help them."

When she rushed to the battlefield at an extremely fast speed and was ready to take action, she happened to see the ghost-level void beast being entangled by countless blood-colored filaments and finally being divided into countless black pieces of meat.

The familiar magical fluctuations that had not been felt for a long time made Anten Meiko's pupils widen instantly. At the same time, she seemed to feel something and looked up at the tall building not far away, and finally locked her eyes on a slim girl in a black dress.

Although this girl's figure is not as plump as Anten Meiko's, it is also very well-proportioned, and the proportions of each part are very perfect, especially the pair of smart eyes on her slightly pale face that emit an alluring and enchanting red light.

Her long dark red hair moved in the wind, and each of her ten crossed fingers was connected by a dark red blood thread.

It was obvious that the scene of dismembering the ghost-level void beast was her masterpiece.

The girl seemed to have noticed something. She raised her head and cast her gaze on Anten Meiko. She was slightly stunned and then frowned. She could feel an unusually cold aura from this person, and this aura was obviously not something an ordinary magical girl could possess.

Black bat wings spread out behind her, and she moved quickly, stopping about five or six meters in front of Anten Meiko. "I've never seen you before in the Tokyo branch. Who are you? Are you a witch?"

"What's wrong, Mary? You don't recognize me after just one year?"

The girl in front of him was none other than Meili, the familiar of Hyakki Ayaya. Although Ayaya herself had not reached the advanced level, Meili's combat power was far more powerful than that of an ordinary familiar.

So it’s not surprising that she could kill a peak ghost-level void beast so easily.

"Who are you?" The vampire girl looked at An Teng Meizi in confusion. When she saw the latter's appearance clearly, an excited smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face. "Meizi, you are Meizi? But how did you become like this?"

"Oh, you're talking about this." She smoothed her black hair that was scattered in front of her body, and with a thought, she exited the eclipse form and returned to her normal form.

"Meizi, that's great, it's you! I knew you wouldn't die so easily. Ayaya will definitely be very happy to see you." After confirming the identity of the person in front of her, Meli quickly leaned over and gave Meizi Anten a big hug.

"Merry, where's Ayaya? Where is Ayaya?"

"Over there." Meili pointed to a building not far ahead and said, "The battle just now was too dangerous, so I asked her to hide first."

She took Meiko Anten's hand and brought her down to the rooftop of the high-rise building where Meili was.

She knocked gently on the door to the rooftop. Soon the door opened and a pretty girl walked out.

"Merry, is it done?"

Volume 5: Light and Darkness: Chapter 75: Changes in Tokyo

"Of course it's easy with me here, but that's not important. Look what surprise I brought you."

"Huh?" Ayaya looked up at Meili's back in confusion, and the moment she saw Meiko Anten, she was completely stunned.

Her body was almost out of her control. She instinctively ran towards the petite figure, opened her arms and held her tightly in her arms.

"Meizi, it's you, it's really you!"

Meiko Anten looked at her apologetically, then broke free from her arms, stood on tiptoe and kissed her rosy little lips under the girl's slightly shy gaze.

Feeling the movement of the person in her arms, Aya's body trembled and she struggled for a bit, but when she found that she had no ability to break free, she simply gave up and let her do whatever she wanted.

After all, he was now one of her girlfriends, so it didn't seem impossible to let her take advantage of him a little... Thinking this way, coupled with the year-long longing that burst out at this moment, made Aya fall into this brief entanglement.

After a long time, Ando Meiko separated from Ayaya reluctantly, and seeing that Meili was staring at them intently, the latter's pretty face turned red to her ears. She hurriedly hid behind Meili, not daring to look at Ando Meiko.

"Welcome back."

Hearing Ayaya's words, Ando Meizi's heart was slightly touched, and then she showed an amazingly warm smile: "Well, I'm back."

The reminiscing was over. Ando Meizi looked up at Meili and asked in confusion, "Why are there only the two of you here? Where are the others from the Tokyo branch base?"

"Half a year has passed since you disappeared, and Void Beast activity has increased significantly. We just received five alerts regarding Void Beast activity, so we've split up our forces, with each person responsible for one area."

"Tell me about everyone's situation." Meiko Ando missed them very much after not seeing them for a year, but she planned to show up at the headquarters first, so she wanted to know their news in advance.

After Meili's detailed account, Ando Meiko nodded with relief. It seemed that no one was affected by the battle on Mount Fuji that day.

Everyone has undergone great changes in a year. First of all, under the leadership of Commander Shizuka Tamura, a lot of fresh blood was introduced into the Tokyo branch base.

The magical girls headed by Rin who returned from Mount Fuji have become much stronger, and Katzelina has even directly broken through to the advanced level.

However, Li, who has long been qualified to break through, has never been able to take that step for some reason. Every time she tries to fuse her familiar with Marugan, she fails at the most critical step.

Ando Meiko also had some idea about this. After all, she had seen that past event through Vita's memory, so she knew that the current Rei was not her true appearance.

Her appearance and her magic were sealed by her sister Nakajima Akira using the magic power of the Ether Queen after she burned her own origin. In other words, everything she uses now belongs to her sister and not herself.

It's no wonder that she fails every time she wants to fuse with her familiar. Unless she can break the seal left by her sister, defeat the inner demons of the past and regain her original form, perhaps only in this way can she successfully advance.

The quality of magic power is certainly important, but when a certain emotion reaches its peak, it will produce extreme power or even evil... Therefore, a strong heart is also indispensable for magical girls.

"Mei, where are you going next?" Meili's question also made Ayaya quietly stick her head out from behind her and look over, as if waiting for Ando Mei's answer.

"I'm relieved to have you guarding Tokyo. As long as the Dragon-class don't show up, there won't be any problems for the time being. So I plan to go to the headquarters first to show my face and let everyone know I'm back."

The most important thing is that she wants to find Tachibana Ruoxue to learn about the seal of the void rift. After all, it is not a long-term solution. Even the strongest magical girl cannot withstand this kind of day and night, torture-like battle.

"Okay, go ahead then. We'll bring the news of your return to the Tokyo branch."

"Don't tell them yet. Give them a big surprise later."

After chatting about some insignificant daily things, Ando Meiko said goodbye to them and spread her wings and flew into the air. Then she accelerated and turned into a red dot of light and disappeared out of thin air.

This time she didn't stop at all and flew directly from where she met Aya and the others to the Akihabara headquarters.

However, as soon as she stepped into Akihabara, she felt something was wrong, because the evil aura that was blowing in her face was constantly touching the purified evil magic ether that had completely merged with her.

It is obvious that Akihabara, where the headquarters is located, is also under attack, and the number and quality of these void beasts are far beyond the reach of other cities.

She frowned slightly, then quickly flew towards the place where the battle waves came from, and finally landed on a tall building at the edge of the battle circle.

She glanced at the entire battle circle, and when she saw a familiar strange figure, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she was so surprised that she couldn't even speak for a moment.

"It seems like I've met an old rival. I didn't expect that she escaped last time, but I can still meet her this time." Meiko Anten could hear the teasing in Vita's tone.

Because the Void Beast they saw was none other than the humanoid Void Beast that she and Lianhua encountered in the shrine at the end of the nest.

In the last battle, she and Lianhua teamed up and could only barely kill her, but unexpectedly, she seemed to have a special way of resurrection and came back to life in the blink of an eye.

To be honest, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Void Bloodworms that saved their lives, they would probably have been the ones running away in panic.

The headquarters seemed to attach great importance to her. They immediately dispatched eight advanced magical girls to surround her and all launched an attack without reservation.

However, this actually allowed it to secretly learn a lot of magic, which directly helped it to be invincible in a confrontation against the opponent's tactics.

When no one else took action, the Shield of God and the Void Beast were stuck in an awkward situation where neither could defeat the other.

However, this situation is like a scale with weights added to one side, constantly tilting towards the direction of the Void Beast.

Because when the humanoid Void Beast faced the eight advanced magical girls, its somewhat human eyes actually contained contempt.

It's like an immature child looking at the toy in his hand.

Seeing this, Anten Meiko immediately understood that the humanoid Void Beast did not take them seriously at all, but was just deliberately prolonging the battle in order to better learn the magic from these magical girls.

An Teng Meizi frowned slightly because of this. The strength of the humanoid void beast in front of her was much stronger than when Yue Yili had just met her. Although it could be seen from the ether fluctuations that she was still only at the ghost level, her combat power was not weaker than that of a newborn or even an evolved dragon-level void beast.
