“This is a Sealing Card for a General-level Magical Creature.”
Xia Mo took out a Sealing Card she had collected over the past few days and handed it to Luo Shuangyue, letting her try to absorb it.
After a round of bargaining, Xia Mo finally reached an agreement with Luo Shuangyue.
Xia Mo handed the Sealing Card in her hand to Luo Shuangyue to absorb, and then the Demonic Energy that emerged from the card would be dealt with by the two of them together.
This result wasn’t a loss for Luo Shuangyue.
After all, she didn’t really need the Demonic Energy inside the card—her focus had always been on White Night’s Magic Power.
Absorbing this Magic Power would allow her body to better adapt to White Night’s strength, and let her Transformation into White Night last longer in battle.
For such a trump card hidden up her sleeve, the longer she could maintain it, the better.
And since it was Luo Shuangyue’s first time absorbing, of course Xia Mo wouldn’t give her the most powerful card—if something went wrong, the two of them wouldn’t be able to handle it.
A Sealing Card for a General-level Magical Creature was the perfect choice.
Even if there was an issue, two Initial Bloom-class Magical Girls could easily resolve it.
After all, in front of the two of them now, a General-level Magical Creature probably couldn’t even withstand a single attack, let alone the leftover Demonic Energy after its death.
Of course, absorbing a card—a potentially dangerous act—was best done at Xia Mo’s home.
Otherwise, if something went wrong and the house exploded again, that would be interesting.
After Transforming, the two spent a few minutes flying to an uninhabited area on the outskirts of the city.
Luo Shuangyue and Xia Mo landed one after another and began working on the Sealing Card.
Previously, whenever Luo Shuangyue absorbed White Night’s Magic Power, she never did it herself.
Monice would extract the Demonic Energy from the card, then hand the Magic Power over to Luo Shuangyue, who only needed to consume the Magic Power like eating a snack.
But now, she pretty much had to cook and eat the meal herself.
One by one, black-purple butterflies flew out from the void, landing on the Sealing Card floating above Luo Shuangyue’s palm, gradually dyeing the white card black-purple.
Luo Shuangyue’s devouring movements were slow.
She first broke a small opening in the seal, intending to release the Demonic Energy inside, but after she damaged the card, she realized that there was no Demonic Energy left in it.
“It’s gone?”
Luo Shuangyue was stunned, but her hands didn’t stop.
Since there was no longer any threat from Demonic Energy, she could go all out.
The butterflies immediately sped up, quickly shredding the Sealing Card and absorbing the residual Magic Power inside.
Absorbing this card would probably let Luo Shuangyue extend her Transformation as White Night by a second or two.
It wasn’t much, but as long as she had enough cards, it could add up to a qualitative change!
“The Demonic Energy of General-level Magical Creatures is weak. After so many years, it’s probably been directly purified.
So only King-class Magic Beast Sealing Cards still have Demonic Energy left?”
After absorbing this card, Luo Shuangyue came up with a guess—that the Sealing Cards her mother left behind might not all contain Demonic Energy.
For example, the probability of there being Demonic Energy in a General-level Magical Creature’s Sealing Card wasn’t high.
But King-class Magic Beast Sealing Cards basically always had Demonic Energy.
As for Royal-Class… Luo Shuangyue had never seen a Royal-Class Magic Beast Sealing Card.
Her mother had definitely taken down a Royal-Class Magic Beast before, but whether she used her usual sealing spells afterward was unknown.
Anyway, there were no records of Royal-Class Magic Beast attacks near Xinghai City.
Even if there were Royal-Class Magic Beast Sealing Cards, they wouldn’t be in Xinghai City.
“Give me a King-class card next. I want to test my theory!”
On a deserted plain, five people were advancing quickly through the night.
“Master, we’re almost at Xinghai City ahead. Shouldn’t we avoid…”
On the distant horizon, traces of lights appeared.
A black-clad figure hesitantly asked the petite figure surrounded by several other black-clad people.
Xinghai City—the territory of that Magical Girl.
“No need. The pursuers are closing in. They definitely won’t let me escape alive. My body can no longer withstand long journeys. The Xinghai City ahead is the best place to rest.”
The black-clad person being protected spoke in a cold, utterly emotionless voice.
“White Night won’t be here, but the things she left behind can help me recover quickly.”
“Listen to my command: Mo One, Mo Three, Mo Four, enter Xinghai City and search for White Night’s Sealing Card. Mo Two stays with me. We’ll find a hidden spot to lie low.”
“Yes!”
“So you mean the Demonic Energy in General-level Magical Creature Sealing Cards has already been completely purified?
I thought you’d gotten a fake one…”
“Ahem, last night I chatted with Rosemary, got a Sealing Card from her to try, and found that there was no Demonic Energy in the General-level Magical Creature Sealing Card.
But there was still some left in the King-class Magic Beast Sealing Card.”
Luo Shuangyue rolled her eyes.
Am I that kind of person?
There was nothing wrong with keeping in contact with Xia Mo, and there was nothing she needed to hide from Monice.
After all, when Monice had given her information to the Magic Department, she already knew her boss was probably a turncoat with connections to the Magic Department.
You already sold me out to the Magical Girls before—so what’s wrong with me going to them for a few things now?
As expected, Monice reacted just as Luo Shuangyue expected, showing no response at all to Luo Shuangyue’s private dealings with Xia Mo.
In her mind, her Vice Leader flirting with the Magical Girls seemed to be no problem at all.
…Oh, maybe it’s because she’s already been through it once, so she doesn’t care anymore.
After all, Monice’s previous Vice Leader apparently was also lured away by a Magical Girl.
“And also, that Royal-Class Magic Beast might be coming over soon, so we’d better keep a low profile.”
If a Royal-Class Magic Beast came, the Magical Girls from the Magic Department following it would too.
If they made a fuss now, the Magical Girls from the Magic Department probably wouldn’t mind wiping out a few people who didn’t know their place.
So from any angle, Luo Shuangyue felt that Eternal Night should keep quiet for now—at least wait until the Magical Girls left before stirring up trouble.
“That’s no problem. We were never the kind of organization that likes to cause trouble.”
Monice spread her hands, indicating that Eternal Night was very passive, and the only one who ever took the initiative to make trouble was Lord Dark Moth—you.
At other times, Eternal Night was like a shop in an evil organization, just selling some of their local specialties.
How could they possibly make a scene?
Compared to all that, what Monice cared about most was the intel Luo Shuangyue brought about the Sealing Cards.
If this intel was true, then a lot of the cards she’d collected would be completely useless.
