What a joke! Magical girls, just obediently get hypnotized!

"Your survival is the most important thing!"

The bird interrupted her in a very forceful manner.

Eileen watched the conversation between the person and the bird from the side, a very faint smile curving her lips.

Although the little bird seemed a bit disdainful of the daisy, it actually took great care of her. If I remember correctly, that's what they call tsundere (a character known for being aloof and tsundere)...

Thus, the two humans and the beast, in the most vigilant posture, with Eileen's sword pointing forward, a pink light shield blooming in Daisy's palm, and the bird's crest trembling at a high frequency to detect energy, began to advance little by little towards the unfinished building complex, which was the source of negative energy. The sound of the soles of their boots crushing the gravel was amplified infinitely in the deathly silence.

However, to everyone's surprise, after searching several buildings, all they found were rusty fire ladders and unfinished rooms covered in cobwebs. They didn't see a single creature, not even the so-called evil beast's eggs, nor the two people and the bird.

"Shouldn't it?"

The little bird hovered beside the rain-soaked pillar, its eyes full of confusion, and couldn't help but scratch its head with the tip of its feathers.

Could it be that I misjudged the situation, and it was simply that the negative energy hadn't dissipated yet, and I was just scaring myself?

"Let's search again; after all, we haven't finished searching yet, have we?"

Daisy gently cradled the little bird, and said earnestly.

"Well, you're right."

The little bird nodded appreciatively, and its crest stood upright again.

The reason she chose this child to become a magical girl was because, although the child was kind and occasionally a bit absent-minded, she was exceptionally serious and responsible when doing work related to magical girls.

Only a child like this is qualified to become a magical girl!

Sometimes it's just a little... well, never mind, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"By the way, Bird-senpai,"

Eileen suddenly remembered something, and lowered her voice considerably.

"You said the monsters are stronger than ordinary monster combatants, so how about compared to high-ranking officers?"

"High-ranking officials?"

The little bird paused, seemingly surprised by the question. After a human-like scratching of its forehead, its beady black eyes blinked rapidly. Finally, even someone who considered herself well-informed could only reply:

"Well, that depends on the capabilities of that official."

................

At the same time, to be precise, a few minutes earlier than the two magical girls and the spirit beast entered the unfinished building.

Da, da, da......

Water droplets fell from the tips of the wolf cloak fur into a small pool of black liquid, as dark as ink.

Having completed his transformation, the villainous cadre, clad in a heavy wolf cloak and wearing a bird-beak mask, walks through an empty, abandoned building.

"hiss,"

The well-defined knuckles brushed against the bird's beak on the mask.

The guy called Hypnotist gently scratched his temple, glanced around at the abandoned building with no sign of magical girls, and sighed helplessly.

"Did I get here a little too early, damn it?"

Behind him were layers upon layers of monstrous beasts and demons of various shapes, covered in fur and horns.

At this moment, the broken horns of those demons dripped viscous fluid, their sharp claws embedded in the bodies of their kind, their twisted limbs intertwined like vines, and those bodies piled up like a towering mountain.

Chapter 17: There's more... a Noble Phantasm?!

That's right, not long after the magical girls left the school, Lynn followed them.

The reason for this was that he was not familiar enough with the DLC world, so he was curious about the so-called "possible world-ending monster" described in the original work. Secondly, after thinking about it for a while, he felt that the magical girls' first encounter with the monster was a big event, and if he made good use of it, it would be a good opportunity for him, the hypnotist, to increase the hypnosis progress.

What he never expected was that he, who entered the housing area through another entrance, encountered the evil beasts and demons before the magical girls, and it seemed that he even managed to kill them all.

What a weak world terminator...

Who are you going to talk to to reason with this?

However, to be more precise, Lynn only cut through the part he encountered.

He stepped over a pool of still-wet black slime, making a sizzling, corrosive sound.

After the evil beast detected its presence, it immediately released a large number of ghouls to "hunt" it.

After all, Lynn, as the Hypnotist, also used negative energy, which was considered a great tonic in the eyes of this guy.

However, after Lynn killed all the ghouls he had released, the evil beast seemed to realize that this guy was not a tonic but a powerful enemy. As a result, the negative energy field of the entire building showed obvious contraction and fluctuation. The thing decisively stopped sending out new ghouls and instead chose a more prudent defensive tactic, recalling all the evil beast ghouls.

Simply put, they were terrified of Lynn's killings...

This led to the strange phenomenon that the magical girls, who had already spent some time completing information sharing and then opted for a steady advance, were able to proceed without any obstacles.

When you're at your most relaxed (but someone else is always there to kill their way through hell for you).

"I wonder where the magical girls are now? Hmm? Have they started fighting too?"

He suddenly tilted his head, and the mask turned towards the core area.

Using his powerful mental energy to sense the surrounding magic, Lynn immediately discovered the magical girls' presence.

Thanks to these accomplices, Lynn encountered them first, but the magical girls arrived at the core area of ​​the unfinished building before Lynn, which was the direction where the monster was located. By the time Lynn caught sight of the magical girls, the two of them and the bird had already begun fighting the accomplices that the monster was using for defense.

By tilting your head slightly, you can faintly hear dense bursts of energy and strange roars.

These horde of monstrous beasts, who had been utterly crushed by Lynn, were clearly seething with rage, and now they could finally unleash it when facing the magical girls.

Although the two magical girls are newcomers, they are clearly quite capable, and with a veteran leading the team, they are still making steady progress.

Two people and a bird, struggling but determined, moved upwards amidst the black tide.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce. Even without sensing it, one could see from afar that ice-blue and pink magical energy was exploding everywhere, along with strange roars that could be heard from time to time.

However, upon arrival, Lynn did not rush to reveal himself. Instead, he quietly appeared in the shadow of the broken beam on the upper level, his wolf cloak blending perfectly with the shadow.

Isn't this the opportunity I've always wanted to take advantage of the chaos?

In the original work, the biggest savior in this first encounter was naturally the two magical girls' seniors, namely the magical girl surnamed Shika. However, now that she has disappeared, it seems that he has to put on this act himself.

Excellent, this perfectly matches the setting of the Hypnotist as powerful, unpredictable, and mysterious.

Moreover, he originally wanted to see the true strength of these two magical girls and the so-called "world terminator" monster. After all, if he wanted to live a peaceful life, the world not being destroyed was a prerequisite, and this was a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

Therefore, after using his ability to conceal his presence, Lynn simply observed the battle from the shadows.

These so-called evil beasts and ghosts are essentially aggregates of negative energy, or in layman's terms, the psychological shadows of others.

Therefore, these things have no regular shape at all; they are just a bunch of polymers that look like a black, viscous liquid, like boiling asphalt.

Some resemble wild beasts, standing on all fours with black saliva dripping from their fangs; others resemble humans, their twisted limbs contorted in a painful struggle; most are bizarre and grotesque, with multiple eyes, multiple legs, or limbs bent backwards—completely indescribable. Just looking at them is enough to make one lose their sense of sanity.

Lynn even saw a round-headed old man, taller than a person, inside...

Furthermore, these creatures possess astonishing destructive power and endurance. Not only can their claws easily leave deep grooves in reinforced concrete, but when subjected to physical attacks, they seem to buffer and dilute a large portion of the attack's force, much like liquid ink. Erin's light blade repeatedly struck, and after the black liquid splattered, it quickly flowed back and healed, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

However, these two magical girls should not be underestimated.

The two had a very clear division of labor: one was a melee fighter, and the other was a ranged fighter.

The magical girl Irene, dressed in ice-blue, like a knight and a nun, unleashed a shimmering blue blade of light from her wand, resembling a knight's longsword. Each strike effectively killed the demons.

However, what is even more noteworthy is her ability to instantly erect a barrier. The ice crystal hexagonal shield can always suddenly appear when an attack is about to hit, effectively resisting most attacks. This is the source of their confidence in facing a siege.

The pink daisy, however, lagged behind. The small floral embroidery on her skirt glowed faintly under the surge of magic. Once she entered battle mode, the elven wings behind her fluttered from time to time, scattering fluorescent dust that resembled pollen. This not only caused damage but also seemed to slow down the surrounding ghosts.

Her wand, on the other hand, was much more traditional, a classic ranged mage's swing. Each time the short wand drew a graceful arc, the pink light emanating from it not only healed Eileen in the front row from some of the damage she had accidentally taken, but also seemed to have an effect similar to encouragement and stamina recovery.

While their teamwork wasn't exactly seamless, it was definitely more than the sum of its parts. They were able to gain the upper hand in the battle against the horde of ghosts and advance through the floors, which was quite impressive.

However, Lynn, who was observing from behind, couldn't help but frown, put his fingers to his forehead, and shrugged slightly on the shoulders of his wolf-cloak, looking as if even a dog would shake its head in disapproval.

Because he had already seen through the true nature of these two magical girls.

Isn't this just a shield and a healer?

It's clear that Eileen's abilities are more defensive; her attacks are more about forcing back and creating defensive space. Daisy, on the other hand, focuses on healing, with her offensive magic being noticeably weaker and less efficient. This aligns with Lynn's understanding of the two characters' personalities.

It's true that shields and healers are very important components of a team, but you can't have only shields and healers!

Anyone who has played a game with a team-based element knows how painful it is to raid as a tank or healer.

What's more, these two are both shield and healer, making it practically a prison within a prison.

Lynn frowned because he recalled his tragic memories of starting with Bai Lu in Honkai Impact 3rd, getting Qi Qi as his first gold character in Genshin Impact, and then becoming Hagiwara's first five-star character.

Although the floors were being moved up, the actual number of ghouls killed by the two was extremely limited, and the amount of black liquid evaporating on the ground was far less than the amount that was newly surging up.

"I see it! The Chaos Egg is on this level!"

The sharp cry of the kingfisher pierced through the battlefield noise.

Flying in the air, the emerald bird that was flanking the two suddenly cried out loudly. It hovered above the corner of the stairs, its crest flashing rapidly, pointing to the next floor.

what?

Chaos Egg?

Lynn was slightly startled by what he heard, and his body leaned forward involuntarily, his mask reflecting the light of the battle below.

This thing is definitely going to be handled by a magical girl, shouldn't we call Astartes?

Upon hearing this, the ice-blue magical girl Eileen, who was originally struggling with a ghoul, suddenly exerted her strength. With a low shout, she gripped her wand tightly with both hands, and the dazzling light, as bright as a sword, instantly condensed and increased several times. The icy aura spread out and then suddenly erupted, a torrent of ice-blue water tearing through the black waves, freezing and shattering the ghoul in its path.

Suddenly, in the center of the cleared area on the floor in front, a huge and bizarre deformed egg-shaped object, a black giant egg with a diameter of nearly three meters, was exposed to everyone's view, pulsating slightly like a heart.

The thing looked just like the other changgui, as if it were covered with a thick black film. Its surface constantly secreted a shiny black mucus, and it would occasionally spit out gurgling bubbles that flowed down the eggshell. It looked disgusting and creepy. A dark red, ominous light faintly emanated from deep within the eggshell.

Clearly, this is what is known as the egg of a strange beast.

The intense negative energy fluctuations even made the air thick and sticky.

However, judging from their aura, this doesn't seem to be a character that the two magical girls currently have are capable of handling.

Just as he was hesitating whether to make a move, a small emerald bird suddenly flew to the daisy's side:

"Daisy, use that one!"

"Okay, big sister!"

Daisy's eyes instantly hardened, and she nodded vigorously.

Then, the magical girl Daisy gripped her wand tightly. The wand, which had originally resembled a short toy cane, suddenly grew, its wooden texture spreading out, and a huge pinkish-white flower bud blooming at its tip. A huge flower magic circle also appeared on the ground beneath her feet. Strange energy rippled outwards from the girl like waves on water, and pinkish-white light waves swept across the entire floor, even temporarily repelling the surrounding ghosts. The dazzling pinkish-white light flashed throughout the entire area!

Daisy, meanwhile, chanted incantations throughout the process, the ancient, unheard-of spells flowing like a hymn. But with her final words, she raised her blooming wand high, accompanied by a girl's delicate shout, which Lynn clearly heard:

"True Name Liberation!!"

Real name liberation?!

Lynn, who witnessed all of this, stared wide-eyed from behind.

Forget about the second phase.

There's also (one-) years old $ weeping eight is the weapon IV slip < Noble Phantasm segment?

Where did I get this?!

Lovefugio?!

Chapter 18: Real Name Liberation!

At this moment, Lynn was extremely grateful that he had maintained restraint throughout, whether it was his wise decision not to provoke the magical girl immediately after transmigrating, or his decision not to act rashly just now.

As expected, as the main characters, the magical girls are fully entitled to the power to activate their powers and change their forms in the heat of battle.

This so-called "real name liberation" is undoubtedly the cheat code that the magical girls in the full version should have, which Lynn was unaware of.

It is still somewhat different from the conventional "Noble Phantasm" in Lynn's concept. After the Daisy is released, she does not immediately launch a powerful attack to start accumulating NP. Instead, it is more like entering a second stage form, with pink and white magical flames burning steadily around her.

The short cane that was originally no different from Eileen's except for the color change has now become a long-handled magic wand with a huge pink gem flower inlaid at the top. Liquid light flows from the flower's stamen, and healing light dust keeps falling from the gem flower's stamen. Hanging from her waist is a small bag full of various glowing seeds, which emit a rainbow-like glow through the fabric.

If Lynn isn't mistaken, judging from her appearance, her abilities should be...

"Revive, spirits of flowers and plants!"

The daisy's voice carried a strange resonance, as if it were in sync with the earth.

As she waved her staff, golden pollen, many times denser than before, covered the entire area. The pollen swept across like a sandstorm, instantly filling every corner and covering the entire floor in a flash. Not only did it still exert its original slowing and damaging effects, it also seemed to have a similar effect of disrupting cognition. Lynn, who could previously easily grasp the changes in the entire battlefield, now had to squint to see everything clearly.

As expected, after the true name of the magical girl Daisy was revealed, her ability to control plants was enhanced.
