The creatures that had revealed themselves under the scanning of the Moonyue-class Super Large Star Ring, wandering in the interdimensional space, could be forced out simply by activating the star ring’s strong interference force field.
“Feiyu, lead your team and hold that position!”
Xing Yu immediately ordered them to their designated spots, prioritizing the elimination of those few creatures that had already exposed themselves.
“Large-scale coordinated magic! Activate!”
“Mana type A! Large-scale coordinated magic is being constructed, estimated completion in 17 seconds.”
Several groups of magical girls split into large teams, each linking up to form a massive coordinated spell.
Such a grand-scale operation was something those inland magical girls had never witnessed before, and they were so tense that some nearly faltered.
Seeing that preparations were complete, Xing Yu said coldly, “First, take down those exposed ones. Team One, it’s your turn.”
“Yes!”
The Moonyue-class Super Large Star Ring unleashed a powerful force field far exceeding that of smaller star rings, instantly forcing the dimensional beasts hiding in the interdimensional space out.
The moment they fell from the interdimension back to the real world was their most vulnerable moment.
Seizing this opportunity would allow significant damage to be inflicted on the dimensional beasts.
“Attack!”
The large-scale coordinated magic surged forward, launching a deadly assault on those dimensional beasts.
Return
“Clear.”
In less than three minutes, all the dimensional beasts that had crossed the barrier were wiped out.
“Good. Stand by. This tide is troublesome. We need to be extremely c-?!”
Xing Yu’s words stopped mid-sentence as she saw beyond the boundary sea—
One head after another of dimensional beasts emerged from the endless sea water of the boundary sea. Roughly sixty in number.
If it were just this, it would be manageable; this kind of scene had been seen before. But…
“They’re appearing directly in the real world!?”
Xing Yu and the frontline magical girls shouted in unison.
Dimensional beasts mostly existed within the interdimensional space.
If they didn’t come out, humans couldn’t interfere with them; likewise, they couldn’t interfere with the real world.
If this second wave of dimensional beasts had remained in the interdimensional space, Xing Yu’s team could have forced them out in batches, defeating them one by one without overloading their forces.
According to Xing Yu’s estimate, her team could handle about twenty dimensional beasts simultaneously—provided no Dragon-class appeared.
But to their surprise, all these dozens of dimensional beasts had appeared in the real world, meaning they had to face attacks from dozens of beasts at once, far exceeding the interception capacity of the magical girls present!
“They’re panicked! As if something’s chasing them!”
Feiyu shouted.
“We can’t control this for now. Report this to command—block as many as you can! Dispatch other Tens from nearby to reinforce!”
At the same time, observers on the Moonyue-class Super Large Star Ring were reporting the situation systematically.
“Energy fluctuation index is red! Three are King-class! Twenty-seven are Demon-class! The rest are Common-class!”
The report back to command chilled Xing Yu to the bone.
Three King-class beasts were not a huge problem; the elite forces dispatched could handle them.
But twenty-seven Demon-class!?
If left unchecked and allowed into human cities, who knew how much destruction they would cause!
“Large-scale coordinated barrier magic, ready?! We have to draw their hate here and block them!”
“Ready!”
“Activate!”
In an instant, a purple, flat structure resembling a honeycomb wall rose in the direction of the boundary sea, blocking all those dimensional beasts within its range.
But correspondingly, this also meant the magical girls were trapped, surrounded by dozens of dimensional beasts.
The situation was dangerous.
Facing enemies far beyond their interception limit, this was also a trial for them.
【Barely holding on. We don’t need to forcibly slay them, just stall until other Tens arrive to reinforce…】
Xing Yu’s tightly clenched heart eased slightly.
The Tens could take on a hundred each.
Adding even one more Tens could turn the tide and greatly boost morale.
The request for reinforcements had already been sent.
It took ten minutes to cast the teleportation magic to bring them here.
If they could just hold on those ten minutes, the situation could be stabilized.
However, just as Xing Yu planned a steady advance, another unexpected variable sent her tumbling into the abyss.
“A new reaction in the boundary sea! Energy fluctuation index 53000—it’s Dragon-class!”
Dragon-class?
Xing Yu’s face turned deathly pale.
The boundary sea churned violently as a gigantic beast with iron wings surged ashore.
Unlike the other Demon-class dimensional beasts, it paused to survey its surroundings upon arrival, eyes shining with an almost human light.
Then, it fixed its gaze on the weakest part of the boundary sea defense. Its eyes suddenly radiated a cold, steel-like gleam.
Ssshh!
The large coordinated defensive magic constructed by twenty magical girls was sliced open, creating a huge gap. Instantly, more than a dozen dimensional beasts slipped through the breach.
“This is bad!”
Xing Yu knew that letting it into human society would cause more damage than all twenty-something Demon-class beasts combined.
Without hesitation, she rushed forward to intercept.
“Lady Xing Yu, I’m with you!”
Xing Yu’s squad members prepared to follow.
“Don’t come out!”
Xing Yu shouted.
“We can barely hold the line now. If you follow, we’ll collapse!”
“But—!”
“I can handle this!”
With a confident reply to her teammates, Xing Yu darted forward, ignoring the other escaping Demon-class dimensional beasts, chasing directly after the Dragon-class.
“Stop!”
Xing Yu shouted, a wave of mana-formed light shot straight at the Dragon-class dimensional beast.
A fierce battle erupted.
The Dragon-class was incredibly powerful.
The boundary sea’s matter boiled on its body, forcing Xing Yu to retreat repeatedly, clearly at a disadvantage.
Their fight quickly reached the domain of the Jiuming Sea.
【The power of the Mind Manifestation Pillar was used in the boundary sea before. I can’t use it now!】
Xing Yu recalled the words Xingyue had told her earlier, a bitter feeling rising in her heart.
If she could use it now, she could have gained the upper hand in an instant!
Unfortunately, such a vital lifesaving ability had been used on Elera inside the boundary sea previously, without any effect.
“There are still many who haven’t made it to the shelter!”
Xing Yu’s beautiful eyes scanned the streets of Jiuming Sea, where still faint shadows of people could be seen.
The alarm had come too suddenly for them to escape.
On top of that, over ten dimensional beasts had slipped through the barrier earlier, entering Jiuming Sea like ghosts, encountering no resistance, and quickly causing massive destruction.
Her heart was filled with sorrow.
Many would probably die this time.
But now she realized that as the battle dragged on, the fighting zone was rapidly approaching her home.
【Did Liyun manage to evacuate?】
Xing Yu worriedly thought.
“Sis!”
The sudden call almost caused Xing Yu to slip up.
She quickly turned her head toward her home building—
Her younger sister was pinned against the wall by Elera, engaged in some indescribable act.
…What?
