Chapter 234 The Descendants of Shadows
Tang Cao and Qin Nan stared in disbelief as the darkness before them slowly took shape, as if it came from all directions, carrying extreme malice. Before they could even see it clearly, they were already severely affected.
The shadow of depravity began to boil, and everything around trembled slightly. As darkness engulfed everything, the light of the hyacinth gradually weakened, and a strange entity began to descend at an indescribable speed.
Calling it an arrival isn't quite right, since this world is the other party's home turf.
The feeling was like a thief caught in the act by the homeowner; just a glimpse of a gaze in the darkness was enough to make Tang Cao and Qin Nan feel a powerful sense of oppression.
The other party is indeed a magical girl, there's no doubt about that.
But her magic has been deeply corrupted; it is no longer pure natural energy, but rather filth swallowed by shadows.
Tangcao tried her best to keep her mind clear, while the shadow beneath her feet began to become sticky, like asphalt or oil, clinging to her feet as if trying to stain them with dirt.
This is the power of the Shadow Clan, this is... the power that a newly born evil world can possess.
In the dim light, Tang Cao could only vaguely make out the outlines of some human figures. She couldn't tell who those figures were, but the alarm bells in her heart kept ringing.
The air seemed to thin out, and a feeling of suffocation washed over her. Tang Cao tried her best to move, but she couldn't even move a finger.
Darkness gradually approached, and vision became somewhat blurred.
Just then, a cyan firefly suddenly appeared before Tangcao's eyes, instantly dispelling the encroaching darkness and driving away all the illusory figures.
"Akara, use magic power!"
Qin Nan's soft shout startled Tang Cao instantly.
After she came to her senses, she realized that her back was soaked with cold sweat.
At this moment, I felt as if I had just had a nightmare, or as if I had just been pulled out of the water, my whole body sticky.
Only then could Tangcao barely make out the scene before her by the light.
The eerie figures vanished, leaving them still standing on the thatched roof. In mid-air before them floated an incredibly strange woman.
The woman was shrouded in a thin, gauze-like shadow that accentuated her stunning figure, but her face, hands, and legs were deathly pale, devoid of any color.
The woman's face did not resemble that of an Asian; rather, it had some Western features. She had a smooth, full forehead, long eyebrows, a high, straight nose, and a angular face.
Looking at the strange entity before him, a strange glint flashed in Qin Nan's eyes.
In her understanding, magical girls do exist abroad, but they are generally impossible to appear in China, so she never thought about it from the beginning. But now, the woman in front of her has made her heart jump.
"No wonder the bureau's investigation has been stalled. It turns out the magical girl chosen by that spirit beast wasn't from our country, but a tourist from another country!"
"Tourist, is this even possible?" Tang Cao asked, somewhat incredulous.
Qin Nan stared intently at the figure, gripping the amethyst dagger tightly in her hand.
From the moment they discovered traces of heretical demons in Ice City to the moment they arrived here, it had been no more than three days. In other words, the girl in front of them had been missing for more than three days.
Furthermore, judging from the other party's fluent Chinese, it's clear that they have a certain understanding of the University of Tokyo, meaning that the possibility of them being a student is higher, and some schools have already started their summer break early.
What Qin Nan couldn't understand was why the spirit beast had specifically sought her out.
Whoosh!
A whooshing sound rang out, and Qin Nan's body reacted instinctively, waving his hand to block the incoming attack.
A sudden explosion rang out, and after the thing retracted, Qin Nan realized that it was actually a black tentacle that had emerged from under the woman's skirt.
"Why resist?"
The foreign woman tilted her head, seemingly puzzled.
A sinister smile hung on her face, her delicate features twisted into a terrifying expression.
"You've been bewitched, sister!" Qin Nan gritted her teeth. "Although I don't know the reason, being chosen to become a magical girl means you're qualified enough, and you must overcome it with your will!"
"Defeat it? No, you don't understand..."
The woman's lips curled slightly as she slowly raised her hands.
As she moved, the surrounding shadows seemed to be summoned, and began to detach from the ground, flowing towards her.
It looked as if they were worshipping their master.
"You've been deceived by those spirit beasts."
"The power of nature is ultimately nothing more than charity; it has never bestowed upon you true power."
"Magical girls are just a hoax; true power must be earned through one's own efforts."
"Only in this way can you experience the feeling of power."
The entire world of watches began to tremble slightly.
Qin Nan kept a close eye on the woman in front of him while observing the surrounding situation.
The intensity of the shadow power increased significantly. The woman before him seemed to have truly gained some kind of power, and after corrupting the rainbow crystal flower, her magic was twisted into something else.
It's different, so very different.
This is completely different from the previous incidents of Shadow Clan members injuring people recorded by the Demon Surveillance Bureau. Compared to those humans who could not control the shadows and were eventually swallowed by them, the woman in front of her seems to have become the master of the shadows.
But her own consciousness and personality had long been corrupted by the shadows and transformed into another existence.
Feeling the magic power in his body gradually being diluted, Qin Nan frowned and said softly.
"It seems that talking won't do any good. If we drag this out any longer, we'll be in danger. Tangcao, the environment here is special. Let's finish this quickly."
"Mm." Tang Cao nodded seriously, as a few glistening snowflakes began to flutter around her.
"Utterly foolish..."
Looking at the two magical girls bursting with magic at her feet, the woman's lips curled up, and a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes.
"Then let me bring you to your senses."
"You're the one who needs to wake up!"
Qin Nan flapped his wings and took a step forward. His cyan figure flew out, the dagger in his hand carrying a whirlwind as he thrust it directly towards the woman's chest.
Faced with Qin Nan's attack, the woman made no move, but the shadow beneath her skirt automatically extended and swiftly met Qin Nan's attack.
Two blurry figures collided quickly.
Shadows and whirlwinds collided and dissipated in mid-air, and terrifying power spread through the dagger. Qin Nan frowned slightly, and at the same time, he turned around to make room for the attack, and then suddenly swooped down.
One after another, shadows suddenly stretched out and chased after Qin Nan at an extremely fast speed. The foreign woman floating in mid-air was like a giant jellyfish, extending her countless tentacles.
Sensing the danger behind him, Qin Nan kept changing his direction of movement. With a series of loud explosions, black shadows pierced the ground, leaving a row of dark holes.
While controlling her own body, Qin Nan turned around and went behind the woman. She dared not stray too far from the hyacinth. Without this beacon in the darkness, she would completely lose her way in this world.
Meanwhile, this brief exchange also surprised Qin Nan. He thought that a newly awakened magical girl would not be able to unleash too much power, but unexpectedly, the opponent's power was no weaker than that of a low-ranking cadre.
However, it seems that the opponent is not yet able to fully control these powers and can only rely on rudimentary methods to attack.
The surprise had barely risen in my heart when the shadow behind me was already close by.
"Got you..."
The foreign woman's smile widened, but at that moment, a chill crept in.
He turned around abruptly and saw a long sword made of pure ice coming straight at his face.
"Ice Soul: Kaleidoscope Part 1"
A sharp shout suddenly rang out in the dim environment. Tang Cao stood on frost, holding the Zhenbing Swift Sword. Around her, ice blades rapidly gathered, sweeping out like a celestial maiden scattering flowers in the blink of an eye.
The elegant and gorgeous attack slightly surprised the foreign woman, although it posed far less of a threat than Qin Nan's.
But it is inconceivable that a red-level magical girl could unleash magic of this level.
"You are a unique being."
With a smirk, the woman reached out with both hands, and the black veil on her body shot out instantly, transforming into even more powerful black tentacles that directly enveloped Tangcao.
Facing the onslaught of tentacles, Tangcao advanced instead of retreating, her ice skates gliding beneath her feet, showcasing her exquisite dance moves to their fullest potential.
Ice blades collided with the shadow tentacles, and Tangcao transformed into a white light, its swords flashing like raindrops, each strike precisely piercing the shadow's nodes, preventing it from completely enveloping itself.
Seeing the woman turn around and attack Tang Cao, Qin Nan, who was flying close to the ground, suddenly moved his body and arrived below the woman in the blink of an eye. Then, he shot straight up like a spring from dry land.
Although Tangcao is highly talented, she is still only a Red-level being, and it is impossible for her to fight against an executive-level being.
But it was precisely her actions that attracted most of the woman's attention, which gave her the opportunity to retaliate.
"Prepare to die!!"
A sharp, piercing shriek suddenly rang out behind the woman, and a terrifying vortex of air abruptly converged on the dagger in Qin Nan's hand, its target aimed directly at the woman's back.
The foreign woman's body tensed up at that moment. She turned her head rapidly, and two glints flashed in her eyes as she moved.
"Do you think I didn't notice?"
A dangerous curve appeared in the smile, and a dark shadow flowed rapidly down the woman's pale arm, quickly converging into an inky scepter.
The scepter was entirely black, with six strong wings converging at its tip. Black shadow power flickered constantly, emitting a chilling, menacing gleam.
He directly met Qin Nan's nod!
