Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 7 The Inner World

With an indifferent gaze, Tang Cao looked down at the strange man opposite her who had been completely frozen, raised her chin slightly, and let out a soft snort.

Judging from her rather proud expression, she was clearly very satisfied with her first battle.

At that moment, the white cat immediately jumped out.

"Well done, Tangcao. Now it's time to deliver the final blow. Only by shattering the dark crystal inside the Outer Path Demon's body can we completely eliminate it."

"Smash the dark crystal? Easy peasy!"

Tangcao's lips curled into a smile, her wand swirling upwards in her hand, before she lightly tapped the air in front of her—

click!

A sound like shattering glass broke the silence.

The next moment, a hideous crack suddenly appeared on the frozen surface of the dark monster.

Immediately, the crack began to spread like a spider web, rapidly expanding across the entire ice surface, while the cracking sound grew increasingly rapid.

After reaching its climax, the massive block of ice, along with the dark monster encased within it, shattered and scattered into irregular fragments across the ground.

After the dark monster's body disintegrated, the black, sharp substances quickly began to dilute at a visible rate, like Mentos mints put into cola, emitting puffs of black smoke and dissipating into the air.

The white cat gracefully walked to the pile of fragments, raised one front paw, as if searching for something.

However, a hint of human disgust quickly appeared on her face, indicating that she did not want to touch the black substance.

After a pause, the white cat's gaze settled on a diamond-shaped object that was as black as ink.

"This is it. It is the source of the heretical demons, which are born from the evil in people's hearts. This thing is like the heart and brain of the heretical demons. Only by destroying this can we eliminate and purify them."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cao lightly stepped on her toes, and her whole body floated up, landing gently beside the white kitten like a feather.

"So, this is the dark crystal you were talking about?"

"Yes."

The white cat nodded, looking at the dark crystal that was gradually splitting apart and melting like burning wax, and continued.

"After the dark crystal condenses, a corresponding Outer Path Demon will be born. When the Outer Path Demon invades the real world from the inner world, it will emit a special frequency. This is why I know that an Outer Path Demon was born here."

"I get it, it's like monster respawning, right?"

Tang Cao smiled and blinked, but then she tilted her head curiously.

"But how did these heretical demons appear, and how did the dark crystals begin to condense?"

The white cat's ears twitched, but it wasn't impatient with Tang Cao's question. Instead, it explained.

"The origin of dark crystals comes from the evil in the human heart. Their destruction of nature and harm to natural creatures will produce corresponding dark crystals in the inner world and give birth to heretical demons."

"This is why heretics and demons tend to appear in cities, because these are the most polluted places."

"The rainbow crystal flower I gave you represents the opposite of the dark crystal, which is the power of nature and the power of magical girls."

"So that's how it is." Tang Cao and Tang Zijun, who was in the distance, nodded in unison.

Tang Zijun's previous curiosity was finally answered here.

So this is how magical girls are defined in this world.

The evil thoughts in people's hearts towards nature and all things will catalyze the creation of things like dark crystals. After being born in the inner world, dark crystals will transform into strange people called Outer Demons.

The real world and the other world are really interesting.

From this perspective alone, the Otherworld and the Mirror Dimension are quite similar. Both are small worlds detached from reality, closely connected to each other, and impossible to communicate with without special power.

I just don't know how strong the monsters in this other world are, or whether they've reached the level of the Mirror Eater God of Greed.

You know, back then, when I finally defeated the God of Mirror Devouring Greed, I almost lost half my life.

Just as Tang Zijun was deep in thought, Tang Cao suddenly screamed.

"Oh no!"

Hearing the noise, Tang Zijun quickly looked up and saw Tang Cao covering her head with both hands, her expression extremely terrified.

"It's already past three o'clock!"

"Oh no, oh no, oh no, I need to go back to sleep right now, or my unlucky brother will nag me again."

Poor guy?

Tang Zijun's lips twitched.

Then Tangcao started raising her legs high in place, looking very anxious.

"Quick, Xiaobai, I have to go back right away."

"You are not allowed to address me with those two words!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon hearing Tangcao's voice, the white kitten immediately bristled.

"The word 'Xiaobai' cannot even be considered a name!"

"We can talk about names later. If we don't hurry back, I won't have time to sleep!"

Tang Cao swung her arms and ran out in a flash.

"Sleeping, please! You're running way too fast!"

"Wait for me!"

"You're still in transformation mode!!"

Watching Tang Cao and the white kitten of unknown origin playfully wrestle away into the distance, Tang Zijun slowly emerged from the darkness.

Having watched the entire battle between the magical girl and the demon, Tang Zijun's feelings were very complicated.

An unfamiliar power, an unfamiliar enemy—judging from the little white cat's explanation, magical girls have clearly existed in this world for a very long time.

My younger sister won't be the first, nor will she be the last.

These girls, who have gained the power of nature, are very likely to follow in their footsteps and throw themselves into the war against evil forces, just as they did back then.

But war is still war. Sending a group of young girls on an adventure, even with their extraordinary powers, means that the dangers they may encounter are still unavoidable.

Recalling Tang Cao's innocent and carefree smile, Tang Zijun's eyes narrowed slightly.

He was putting his sister in danger at all times.

Is this really good?

Although Tangcao's performance in her first battle was already perfect, she still lacks sufficient combat experience. Leaving aside what will happen in the future, even now...

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind Tang Zijun.

Silently turning around, I saw a larger body slowly wriggling out from the shadows that had been silent, accompanied by an incomprehensible murmur, as it crawled out of the crack.

"A girl is just a girl."

Tang Zijun shook her head helplessly.

"How can I feel at ease if you can't even distinguish between the clone and the original?"
