Good opportunity! Let’s go!”
The Magical Girl and Lord Dark Moth had both suffered heavy injuries—this was the perfect chance for a fisherman to profit while the sandpiper and clam fought!
The Black-clad Men didn’t think this could possibly be a trap. After a fight like that, how could it be a trap? What’s next, that Lord Dark Moth and the Magical Girl are actually relatives?
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The three Black-clad Men split into three groups and charged straight for the Sealing Card lying on the ground.
The Magical Girl in the sky saw these three suddenly appear and immediately tried to stop them.
But after her battle with Lord Dark Moth, she’d used up too much strength. The beams of light she fired now weren’t nearly strong enough to block the Black-clad Men’s advance.
Rather than stopping them, her beams seemed more like a send-off, as if she were just there to see the Black-clad Men off with a fanfare.
In the blink of an eye, the Black-clad Men had dashed up to the Sealing Card on the ground and snatched it up.
With the card in hand, the Black-clad Men turned and left, not bothering with anyone else present. The idea of taking out the Magical Girl while they were at it simply didn’t exist.
Who knew what tricks these Magical Girls might have up their sleeves? Their task was to get the card for their master, not to kill Magical Girls for their master.
Given the situation, it was best to avoid conflict with the Magical Girl if they could.
Their arrival was like a gust of wind, and their departure the same.
In less than a minute, the chaos turned into mutual destruction, and then the fisherman’s gain.
The purple-haired girl hovering in the sky let out an irritated huff, firing a few shots in the direction the Black-clad Men had fled, as if venting, bringing the curtain down on tonight’s drama.
“That’s enough, you know. If those blasts hit the flowers and grass, it won’t be good.”
“Relax, this place was chosen carefully. There’s no one around, and my shots won’t hurt any flowers or grass.” Retracting her Floating Cannon behind her, Xia Mo turned to look at Luo Shuangyue, who had already gotten up from the ground.
“You two’s acting was pretty good.”
Just now, the way those two siblings collapsed nearly had Xia Mo believing they’d actually disintegrated.
If she hadn’t known that her final shot was all flash and no substance, she might have thought she’d lost control of her power.
“What acting? I really almost got blasted apart!” Luo Shuangxing, supported by Xiao Mimi, approached with a face full of grief and indignation.
Luo Shuangyue’s last blow had been right at the limit of her defenses.
After taking it, she barely had any strength left, and riding the momentum, she was sent flying and her transformation was undone.
That’s how Xia Mo saw such a realistic disintegration performance.
Realistic? Of course! Luo Shuangxing was really only a hair’s breadth away from falling apart!
“You jerk, were you really trying to kill me?!”
“I trust my control over my power. See? You’re fine, aren’t you?” Luo Shuangyue shrugged. In the end, nothing happened, right?
Besides, if the fight didn’t look real enough, how would those Black-clad Men have taken the bait so easily?
“The card is already in their hands. The Magic Department should be tracking their location now…” “Now that things have developed this far, Luo Shuangyue’s main mission is over.
The rest is up to the Magic Department and Long Wen.
Because the other cities nearby had all carried out similar baiting operations in recent days, before this operation in Xinghai City, the Magical Girls stationed in those cities were already starting to move closer to Xinghai City.
By the looks of it, they’d arrive around midnight tonight.
And if those Black-clad Men didn’t deliver the card to the Royal-Class Magic Beast immediately after snatching it, they might end up bringing not only the card, but also a whole team of Magical Girls to the Royal-Class Magic Beast.
“Let’s hope they’re just a little bit late~”
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
The Magical Girls wouldn’t get any rest, and neither the Magic Department nor the Black-clad Men would have time to sleep.
After the Black-clad Men made off with the card, the Magic Department immediately began tracking them, making it impossible for the Black-clad Men to leave the urban area of Xinghai City and reach the Royal-Class Magic Beast’s location for the time being.
But this move by the Magic Department only convinced them further that the card they’d snatched was the real deal. Otherwise, why would the Magic Department react so strongly?
Thinking of this, they became even more determined to get the goods into their master’s hands and help their master return to their original form as soon as possible.
“The Magic Department is hot on our tail. Looks like they’re not letting us go.”
“Mo Three, you take the card and get out. Mo Four and I will draw the Magic Department’s attention.” After a brief deliberation, the Black-clad Man with the highest status made a decision.
Two would draw the Magic Department’s attention, while one delivered the card.
As long as the card got out, their mission was complete.
“Got it! I’ll definitely finish the job!” Mo Three tucked the card close to his chest and nodded firmly.
The three split into two teams. One group stopped hiding their aura and began weaving boldly through the city, quickly drawing the Magic Department’s attention.
Once again, a purple light pierced the night sky as they clashed with the Black-clad Men who had revealed themselves.
How did this one recover so quickly? It’s as if she hadn’t used up any strength at all… The moment they crossed swords with Rosemary, the Black-clad Men were shocked.
The power Rosemary unleashed didn’t seem affected by the earlier battle at all. Shouldn’t her magic have been completely drained by now?
And soon, when a blade of black-purple light slashed from behind them, they were even more stunned to see Lord Dark Moth reappear.
Weren’t you disintegrated? How did you recover in just an hour or two?
“Hand over the card, and I’ll give you a quick death!” Lord Dark Moth’s expression was grim, her bloodless face tinged with a faint, fragile pallor.
Seeing Lord Dark Moth like this, the Black-clad Men finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed she hadn’t avoided disintegration, but had used some special means to restore herself.
But even if she’d recovered once, her state couldn’t compare to her peak.
Facing both Lord Dark Moth and Rosemary, the Black-clad Men didn’t feel they would lose.
“I’ll take on Rosemary, you handle Lord Dark Moth.” Moe One took the initiative to deal with the stronger Rosemary, leaving Lord Dark Moth, who looked like the weakest of the four, to Mo Four.
Lord Dark Moth’s original strength was higher than Rosemary’s, but Rosemary had just blasted her apart not long ago. Now, Rosemary was clearly the tougher opponent. Moe One felt his choice was correct.
Mo Four was even more confident, thinking he wouldn’t just win, but could defeat Lord Dark Moth in no time.
“Lord Dark Moth, let me show you the power our master granted me!”
“What the—tentacle monster?!”
When a mass of tentacles burst out from under the Black-clad Man’s robes, Luo Shuangyue immediately felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
Fighting with these slippery things was just a little bit disgusting to her.
