Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

"Tia, do you know why Sister Meizi failed?"

"I don't know." Tia shook her head, her expression a little confused. "There are many factors that could cause the domain construction to fail, but at most it would just be a collapse of magic power, not an explosion of this magnitude."

"What do we do now?"

"Let her have a good rest..." As soon as Tia finished speaking, a sound of footsteps slowly came from the door of the hall. Looking back, it turned out to be Granny Xing walking towards here.

"Granny Xing, what's wrong?"

"Miss, the Tokyo branch is looking for you. They want you to go back quickly because time is running out."

"But, but..." Hearing this, Rin turned to look at the unconscious Anten Meiko, "If I go back now, Meiko-sister..."

"There's nothing we can do. After we clean the blood off her body, let's take her back. The medical facilities in the Tokyo branch are more complete, and it's better than lying here."

Although she was a little worried about Anten Meiko's condition, Rin also knew that even if Anten Meiko was not there, Tia was necessary for the Lust Subjugation Campaign.

The hard training over the past month was not in vain, but since Anten Meiko's domain had failed to condense, it was even unknown whether she could wake up before the crusade began.

She has now obtained the advancement of the Magical Girl of Stars, which is the power of limited expansion. Even if she is the only one who follows Tia back, she will definitely be a strong fighting force.

"Sister Meizi, just take a good rest. I will work hard with you as well."

Volume 3: It's a Different World: Chapter 36: A War

Aegis Tokyo Branch

Two beautiful figures had just gotten off the elevator when Youyi, who was not far away, hurried over. It would not be surprising even if she slid over on her knees the next moment.

"Oh, you are finally back, we..." Before he finished speaking, his eyes stopped at Meiko Ando who was lying quietly in Rin Sawamura's arms.

The joy on his face at the return of Tia and the other two froze instantly, his mouth twitched, and he asked awkwardly, "What happened to Ruby? Did she have an accident?"

After experiencing the battle with the Demon-level Void Spider, Youyi already knew how powerful Ruby was. Her combat ability was in no way inferior to that of the Three Purities. Now that the subjugation battle was approaching, he did not expect that this important combat force would be unconscious.

This was a big blow to him, or to the Tokyo branch.

Fortunately, not long ago, her elder sister borrowed a formation master to fill the vacancy left by Ruby, so Yuichi didn't feel too upset.

Tia nodded, not intending to hide anything. "She failed to condense her domain, and it seems her body and mind were affected by the backlash of the magic, causing her to fall into a coma."

Although he had some knowledge of some things about magical girls, he didn't fully understand them, so he only understood the general idea of ​​what Tia said. Anyway, she fainted and hasn't woken up yet.

"Anyway, it's good to be back. Sanqing, take her to her room and let her rest. You and Tia will go to the conference room later."

"The lust subjugation war... is it finally about to begin?" Lin's eyes darkened slightly and he frowned.

You nodded and said, "We need to arrive in Osaka in advance to make arrangements. I will explain the specific preparations and combat missions in the next meeting."

He glanced at Ando Meiko and continued, "If Ruby can't catch up, I'll let her give up this mission."

"Yeah." Rin and Tia responded at the same time, and they each went back to their own rooms to tidy up, and Ando Meiko was taken to the room assigned to Rin by the Tokyo branch.

Seeing Yuichi's anxious look as if there was a fire at home, Rin put Ando Meiko on the bed in the room that she had rarely slept in, and turned to leave.

Just as he reached the door, he seemed to remember something, and returned to Ando Meiko, covered her with a quilt, and gently stroked her face with his slightly cool palm.

"It's okay if you don't wake up, Meiko-san... Don't worry, I'll work hard on it, too."

In the meeting room of the Tokyo branch of Aegis

The commander of the Tokyo branch, Yuichi Tamura, watched the magical girls take their seats one after another. His eyes swept across the room and then stopped at the few magical girls sitting in the front row.

Sylphias - Nakajima Rei, Sanqing - Sawamura Rin, Tenji - Katzelina, Tia - Kamijou Renka, Frate - Himekawa Saya, Aika - Chiyuri, Midori - Tachibana Yui.

Except for the newly joined formation master Cui, the other six people are not unfamiliar to Ando Meiko. The fact that they are sitting in the front row at this moment means that the seven of them are the main fighting force representing the Tokyo branch in the subjugation war.

Originally, Ando Meiko should have had a place here, but unfortunately, before she could come back, she fainted and lost consciousness during her training in Tianqing Palace.

"Since everyone is here, let's get started." Although there was a smile on his face, Yuichi felt a little bitter in his heart when he saw the conference room full of people again.

The conference room, which is usually not used, has been opened countless times this month. His work has also become more burdensome because of the constant changes in the countermeasures.

But I think today should be the last time...Yuichi thought secretly in his heart.

The big screen jumped to a map, and some girls who usually studied hard could tell at a glance that the colored part of the map represented the whole of Osaka.

And a little to the left of the center of this map, there is an extremely glaring little red dot.

Even though Yuichi didn't say anything, everyone present had already guessed what the red dot represented.

The location of Lust, one of the eight most powerful dragon-level void beasts, is also the target location of this mission.

"I think you should know what this red dot represents. In that case, I won't explain it in detail. Anyway, the combat location assigned to us by the headquarters is here." Yuichi moved the stick on the red dot a little to the east, and then drew a circle on it.

"According to Master Shenjo, the vibrations emitted after Lust awakens will attract all the surrounding Void Beasts to protect it. So we might not just be facing a single Dragon-class beast, but a wave of Void Beasts led by a Ghost-class beast."

The sound of gasps suddenly rang out throughout the conference room. They were almost wiped out by the attack of a ghost-level monster. Now, telling them that they might encounter a beast tide is undoubtedly bad news for them.

All they thought about at the time was just providing support from the rear. With their current strength, they basically had no chance of fighting on the front battlefield. Although it was a bit regrettable, at least they were safe.

Now this safe rear has disappeared. The place where the dragon-level void beast awakens, or the entire Osaka in the void world may become a battlefield.

According to existing information, Lust is 65 meters tall and 150 meters long. It is an absolute behemoth. Perhaps only special effects movies can show its true appearance.

If such a being were allowed to walk around the city, even if the destruction in the void world materialized into the real world had a small impact, it would definitely be a disaster.

Therefore, this battle is not only a war of annihilation, but also an out-and-out blocking war... a war to protect humanity.

"If...anyone is unwilling to participate, please tell me now. I know this mission may be life-threatening, so I won't force you... Of course, this is also what Master Shenjo said."

When they heard that they didn't have to participate, there was a hint of struggle in the eyes of the magical girls in the conference room, but what surprised Youyi was that after waiting for five minutes of silence, no one raised their hand to withdraw.

Even someone as strong as Tia, her hands were shaking slightly when she knew she was about to face a dragon-level void beast, not to mention others.

But no matter how scared they were, since they had joined the Shield, they understood what they were about to face and were prepared for the possibility of life-threatening situations.

Perhaps many people go there with the desire to exchange for great will, but it does not mean that these people have only pure desires in their hearts.

After all, there is no conflict between satisfying desires and upholding justice.

Volume 3: This is a completely different world: Chapter 37: Magic Circle

Void World-Osaka, Japan

Tia was appointed as the captain of the Tokyo branch in this lust crusade, and Rin was the vice-captain.

Due to personnel changes, many new magical girls joined this month, so the Tokyo branch has gradually increased in staff.

This time, the Tokyo branch sent out a total of fifteen magical girls. Excluding the seven main forces including Tia, the remaining eight magical girls included four ocean-type, two star-type, and two stone-type.

Although their individual combat capabilities were not very strong, after a month of tacit training, it was not a problem for the eight of them to join forces and hold back a ghost-level void beast.

In Osaka, the area marked on the map where lust awakens has been surrounded by magical girls who have come to support from various cities.

On the day of the subjugation battle, everyone arrived at the combat area assigned to the Tokyo branch. Everyone stayed in place to rest and adjust their condition, while Cui walked out from the main team of seven.

She glanced around at her surroundings, then with a flick of her left hand, five Star Tarot cards, the backs of which were interwoven like chains, appeared in her hand.

During yesterday's combat meeting, Youyi had already introduced Cui, the formation master, to them, so no one found her behavior strange. They just turned their curious eyes in her direction.

After all, even though everyone knew that Cui was a formation master, no one except Tia had ever seen what a formation master's battle was like.

Sweeping the five Star Tarot cards over the magic wand at the same time, the cards immediately turned into golden starlight and merged into the magic wand, causing the star gem on the top of the magic wand to suddenly light up with dazzling golden light.

A golden light shone in the middle of her eyes, and her pupils were covered by a circular aiming crosshair made up of golden lines.

She pointed her magic wand at a point in the empty space in the very center of the street, and golden light was released from the star gem, shooting directly onto the land in front of her.

This ray of light did not disappear immediately after touching the ground, but instead spread out in a strange way, outlining a series of light patterns emitting long golden light.

When all these light patterns are combined together, they form a very complex magical pattern.

Looking at the scene in front of her, curiosity suddenly welled up in Katerina's eyes, and people who knew her well knew that once she showed this expression, she would start chattering.

"So this is how a formation master constructs a magic circle. Speaking of which, once a magic circle is set up, how long can it last?"

She had also studied magic circles. Although her own space-based weapons did not have the Star Tarot that could create a magic circle, she had once relied on her knowledge and understanding to create a simple trap.

However, she had never come into contact with a formation master, even in the witch organization.

Now that this was a rare opportunity, she naturally didn't intend to let it go.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will take about half a day, or twelve hours. Once the magic circle is formed, it will no longer require my magic power to maintain it. Instead, it will absorb the magic power in the air to maintain its existence for a period of time."

"What a convenient thing." Katharina couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as she looked at the magic circle that had already taken shape and was emitting waves of suction to absorb the surrounding magic power.

After a moment of thought, she added, "Magic circles aren't just for galaxies. Ordinary magical girls can use them by understanding the basics of magic patterns, then drawing a closed loop and constructing a magic circle."

"But the space-based magic array constructed in this form is not as easy as swiping the card directly in the galaxy, right?"

"Well, first, you need to understand the seals and be familiar with the flow path of magic power within each seal. The magic power flow must form a closed loop within the magic circle, and each magic seal must be continuously activated. Only then can it function as a true magic circle."

Hearing these technical terms that she had never encountered before, Li frowned slightly and said, "Isn't this too complicated?"

Katerina shook her head and explained, "If it were just complicated, it would be fine, but the key issue now is that the knowledge of magical engraving has been lost."

Although Katerina explained to everyone enthusiastically, they had no interest in it, so they just joined in the conversation to kill time.

To construct a magic circle, you only need to wait for the golden magic power released from the magic wand to complete the entire path by itself, and you don’t need to do anything yourself.

Therefore, it only took ten minutes to complete the construction of the five complex magic circles.

When the last magic circle was completed, Cui sat up on the spot and leaned against a big tree beside her with some fatigue.

It is true that she does not need to do anything to construct the magic circle, but the magic power consumed during the construction is all drawn from her body.

Constructing five magic circles at once was already her limit. If she continued to construct the sixth in this state, she would run out of magic power.

Now that the crusade is imminent, she will naturally not let herself get into such a troublesome situation.

There is no concept of time in the void world. In the anxious waiting, the time experienced by their biological clocks passes by every minute and every second.

Looking at the still earth in the distance, everyone felt a little irritated at this moment.

One hour, two hours, three hours... I waited from morning to noon. When the time in the real world jumped to 12:00, strange changes occurred in the void world.

Boom...

A loud noise like thunder quickly swept out from the target location and soon spread to the entire designated station area, startling all the magical girls surrounding the area.

"One of the seven strongest dragon-level void beasts, the seven deadly sins of lust, has awakened." This is the sentence that flashed through the hearts of all magical girls at this moment.

Everyone's nerves were tense at this moment. Their eyes were all fixed on the direction where the loud noise came from. They did not move, and were always paying attention to any abnormal phenomena that might occur in the next moment.

A ball of light slowly rose from the ground, hovered in the air under the gaze of many people, and then exploded instantly.

Waves that were imperceptible to the naked eye spread out and slowly sank into the earth in a ring shape.

When the ring-shaped wave swept through the hearts of every magical girl, they all felt a sense of strangeness, but they couldn't clearly explain what that strange feeling was...

"This kind of fluctuation... could it be... bad?! Everyone, be on standby at all times. Pay attention to everything around you, even the ground beneath your feet..."

Volume 3: This is a Different World: Chapter 38: On the Brink

"Sifias, what's wrong?" Seeing Li suddenly become cautious, Tia asked with some confusion.

"My Tia, do you remember the Void Beast Tide that Ruby and I encountered a month ago? That was when you came to save us."

Tia nodded and said, "Yes, I remember."

"In the Void World, Ruby and I also felt this kind of fluctuation, and then all the Void Beasts began to riot because of this fluctuation..."

Upon hearing this, all the magical girls of the Tokyo branch frowned, and for a moment they stood back to back cautiously, glancing at the surroundings that were as calm as if time had stopped.

boom

Another earth-shattering bang was heard, followed by waves of energy pulses. The entire earth began to shake wildly, causing some magical girls to stumble and fall to the ground.

boom!

As if several tons of explosives had detonated, the ground suddenly exploded in a straight line with the target location, not far in front of the Tokyo branch battlefield, and the concrete blocks that were blown into the air fell back to the ground like rain.

"Everyone, come to me quickly!" A star magic girl from the back shouted to the stunned crowd and took out a star tarot.

Everyone in the Tokyo branch immediately came to their senses and moved towards her.

Star Tarot swept the magic wand, and the magic power in his body surged out to form a white light shield around him, wrapping everyone in it. At this moment, the falling stones hit the white light shield with crackling sounds.

Although ripples spread across the light shield, making people worry whether it could withstand so many stones, even though the ripples continued, no cracks appeared on it. Apparently, their worries were unnecessary.

When the smoke and dust cleared a little, everyone's eyes suddenly froze, and then their expressions began to become somewhat ugly.
