Chapter 301 The Fox's Great Show
The port city is facing an unprecedented crisis.
More than a hundred monsters engaged in a chaotic battle in the port city. The entire Hero Association was mobilized, monitoring the monsters' movements while relocating the panicked crowd to safety.
Why would such an abnormal phenomenon occur?
The Hero Association could only offer conjectures, the magical girls were helpless, and the continuous reports of minor seismic activity from the monitoring equipment gradually heightened people's tension.
The giant snake is moving towards the ground!
This is not a good sign. If such a massive astral beast were to actually come to Earth...
In response to this situation, Aquamarine made a bold deployment:
"We can use the barrier left behind by Inari to stop the astral behemoth."
"But before that, we must eliminate the monster army that is ravaging the port city and ensure that the people are not attacked by the monsters."
Recalling Aquamarine's plans, Bai Lili was more worried about the health of the golden-haired fox girl beside her.
"Miss Dandelion, is this really reliable? It must be very difficult to mobilize such a huge amount of magic power."
"It's okay, this is the only way we can do it."
Standing on the lawn in the park, Su Tianqing said to Bai Lili beside her.
The air was filled with the sirens and alarms of the Hero Association, and smoke and dust filled the air, as if the end of the world was approaching.
In a way, this can indeed be called the end of the world—if Jormungandr fails to intercept, the port city will inevitably face annihilation!
"Yes, Hyacinth and the others are clearing out the weirdos all over the port city, and I have to provide you with as much assistance as I can."
The pure white magical girl answered, slowly spreading magic towards Su Tianqing with her starry wand.
Su Tianqing herself used the dandelion wand to manipulate this magic, thereby controlling and altering the structure of the underground barrier of the port city.
This is a huge project.
Inari spent an hour and a half explaining its basic principles and structural change methods to himself; in actual practice, it would only take longer.
...Of course, I have to keep the true principle behind this barrier variant a secret, otherwise where will the fun come from?
He even tricked Bai Lili into becoming his magic source, saving himself the trouble of using his Starry Shadow state to supply magic.
"The behemoth has discovered the situation on the ground and is attempting to break through that ancient binding barrier, which will inevitably consume a large amount of magic power."
"I will change the [Harvest Magic] set up by Inari, turning it into a defensive barrier to prevent the giant beast from breaking through, thus stopping its advance to the greatest extent possible."
This is the plan that Su Tianqing discussed at the emergency meeting.
Although everyone felt that this only delayed the arrival of the giant beast on the ground, there was no other way to proceed at the moment, so they had no choice but to agree to Su Tianqing's plan.
But this gave him the perfect opportunity to alter the barrier's structure right under the magical girls' noses!
Legendary Quest: Project Thor's Hammer
[Task: Modify the barrier structure to complete the magic of Inari's inheritance]
This is the mission! The ultimate method left behind by Inari!
As for whether the astral behemoth was aware that she was manipulating the barrier left by Inari, Su Tianqing had no idea.
But judging from its summoning of so many strange beings to attack various parts of the port city, it probably just realized that the Inari barrier's effects are definitely not limited to filtering magic.
Even he himself didn't understand the specific function of the barrier at first, and even felt that it was a bit of a waste for Inari to build such a big barrier just to filter magic power.
I initially thought this barrier was a pile of garbage code, but after working with it myself, I realized just how perfect it is, which is truly impressive...
"—BOOM!!"
A deep, distant rumble interrupted Su Tianqing's thoughts.
Bai Lili's magic output also changed abruptly with the loud noise, and Su Tianqing immediately allocated some of her magic to calm the shock.
"What happened? Bai Lili! How are you?" Su Tianqing asked hurriedly.
The pristine white magical girl shook her head, trying to appear calm, but her face didn't look like she was alright; there wasn't a trace of color in it.
"It's nothing... I just suddenly felt like something was watching me, and I'm not used to this feeling."
Gaze.
Upon hearing this word, Su Tianqing immediately turned to look at Bai Lili, and Inari's Analysis Technique was activated in an attempt to identify the changes in her magical power.
Sure enough, a strange, ethereal magical power coiled around her body, and its properties immediately reminded her of those molten gold snake eyes.
"You actually noticed this place?" Su Tianqing was somewhat surprised.
Just as I predicted, since Jormungandr has the ability to bypass the barrier and summon monsters on the ground, it should also be keeping a close eye on the Inari Barrier's movements.
Now that I am making large-scale adjustments to this barrier, it will naturally attract its attention.
But Jormungandr's gaze was unexpectedly powerful, even Lily, a veteran magical girl with the Star Shadow, couldn't withstand it!
"This is the behemoth's gaze. It has noticed you. You must immediately stop channeling magic! You cannot continue!"
"It's alright, it's just being watched, I can handle it—"
Before he could finish speaking...
Almost instantly, a colossal shadow that blotted out the sky appeared above their heads.
Bai Lili looked up at the strange rock figure that had fallen from the sky.
Both of them were startled at the same time.
A rock monster?!
When did it appear? I clearly blocked each monster summoned by Jormungandr one by one, so why did it...?
...Could it be that, because it sensed Bai Lili's presence, it summoned this rock monster directly above their heads?
Her mind raced faster than her hands, which resulted in Su Tianqing being completely stunned on the spot.
Bai Lili reacted exceptionally quickly. Before the golden-haired fox girl could react, she rushed forward, scooped her into her arms, raised her wand high, and released the magic!
[Miracle Cannon]!
"Whoosh! Snap!!!"
The Rock Monster was blasted away by Lily Bai's simulated magic cannon. Instead of crushing the two people on the ground, it smashed several cars parked on the roadside.
But Lily Bai didn't rush to put away her long wand. Instead, she stood it like a scepter on the grass beside her and looked around with the golden-haired fox girl.
—Besides the Rock Monster, five dark figures surrounded the lawn.
Their serpentine eyes, like molten gold, their icy gazes, their murderous fighting stances, and the swaying serpent tails behind them all proclaimed their identities:
Five snake-woman-like Star Witches.
If nothing unexpected happens, they are Jormungandr's retinue.
"Wow, five, that's quite a lot."
Bai Lili pursed her lips and whispered,
"Miss Dandelion, we're in trouble."
Not only Bai Lili, but Su Tianqing herself was also very clear about the current situation.
Although Dandelion's enhancement magic is powerful, it's not powerful enough to transform Bai Lili into someone who can fight five Star Witches at once.
Five witches? Even in my own hands, they would be top-tier combat power! Second only to the Twelve Zodiac Witches, who are my trump card!
The snake-women watched the two people on the ground.
Su Tianqing didn't know what they were thinking, but since they were Jormungandr's servants, they must represent the will of that astral behemoth.
Lily gripped her wand tightly, ready for a desperate fight.
Just as she was about to take down one of them first, a golden figure suddenly appeared in mid-air!
"Cats, bunnies, dogs! Stop them!"
Heart Moon Fox's voice echoed in the air.
Bai Lili and the five witches turned to look at the three small figures standing somewhat crowded on the street lamp, as if a burst of energetic music was coming from there.
"Hellcat!?" Bai Lili exclaimed in surprise.
The catgirl glanced at Bai Lili and nodded slightly.
"Looks like you're in trouble, Lily."
"you……"
Before Bai Li could finish speaking, Hellcat had already rushed in front of one of the witches and smashed her into the ground with her cat fist!
"Aren't you used to fighting alongside the cat?"
The three catgirls were fighting with the witch when Bai Lili heard the voice of another fox girl.
The girl turned to look at the other golden fox girl standing next to her, and saw that familiar wicked smile on her face.
"Heart Moon Fox, it's you," Dandelion said.
"Hello, Miss Dandelion. I heard you're working on the barrier left by Inari. Do you need my help?" Heart Moon Fox replied with a smile.
"...I don't trust you."
"At least you can trust me now, I came here with great sincerity."
Two foxes make a show.
The dandelion remained silent, and the Heart Moon Fox also smiled and remained silent.
Bai Lili was caught in the middle, unsure whether she should expel Xinyuehu.
Since things have come to this, I, the fox, have to take matters into my own hands!
"Kitty, Bunny, try your best to hold off the witches."
Seeing that Bai Lili chose to leave the decision to Dandelion, Xin Yuehu revealed a happy smile.
"Miss Dandelion and I... will figure out how to break down this barrier!"
