“Boom!!”
“?!”
The Ferris wheel lost power and immediately stopped turning.
Nan Xiaofeng reacted suddenly, quickly recovered from the imbalance, and released her magic, immediately stabilizing the balance of her cabin.
“What happened?!”
The White Sable Spirit popped out of Nan Xiaofeng’s backpack and asked in surprise.
“I was about to ask you! Go out quickly and see what’s going on!”
“Then Xiaofeng, wait for me—uwahhhhhhh!?”
Bai Ling’s terrified scream simultaneously drew the attention of Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling.
Both of them were dumbfounded.
“What…” “That is…”
The Ferris wheel was located on the island in the middle of the lake.
And on the lake surface not far away, a huge, completely black Monster stood! Its gaze was fixed on the island in the middle of the lake!
““Monster!””
Nan Xiaofeng and Bai Ling exclaimed simultaneously.
“Monster?…Is that a Monster? This size…isn’t it a bit too…”
Hua Ling said in fear, her voice trembling.
“So, Xiaofeng, you…have always been fighting against this kind of thing?”
“I do fight Monsters, but I’ve never seen one this size!”
Nan Xiaofeng answered honestly, also in shock at the moment.
That guy was at least thirty meters tall! The largest Monster she had ever fought was the Black Wolf that night! Where had she ever seen such a gigantic Monster?!
This could no longer be considered a Monster! This was clearly a Monster!
“Damn it!”
Nan Xiaofeng gritted her teeth and slammed her fist against the cabin window.
It must be Xin Yuehu’s doing!
As a densely populated area, Rong City Amusement Park had always been a key monitoring area for the Hero Association, and any fluctuation of Star Realm Magic would be discovered and cleared in time!
How could such a huge Monster suddenly appear?!
“Crack! Boom!!”
The Monster took a step, the lake surface surged, and even the ground trembled.
Its target was clearly this power-outage Ferris wheel!
“Hua Ling, stay here and don’t move! Bai Ling, protect her!”
Nan Xiaofeng pulled out a golden cross from her pocket and said to the two behind her.
“Xiaofeng, you want to fight that kind of guy? Are you crazy?!”
Bai Ling frantically tried to stop her,
“The Hero Association already knows about this! Let them handle it! It’s too dangerous for you to go alone!”
“—If I don’t stop it, everyone will be in danger!”
Nan Xiaofeng turned back and said firmly.
Hua Ling stared blankly at Nan Xiaofeng’s back, watching Magical Girl Hyacinth appear outside the cabin, and a sense of powerlessness instantly filled her body.
For no reason, Hua Ling remembered the blood-stained parking lot.
But the subsequent roaring explosion instantly pulled her thoughts back to reality.
.
“Bang! Boom!!”
“Boom!!!”
Greatsword slashed, magic power exploded.
The sky-blue Magic Girl struck down from mid-air, and the large Monster, which looked somewhat like Godzilla, took a step back, stabilized its body, and shifted its gaze from the Ferris wheel to Hyacinth.
“It’s the Magic Girl!”
“Hyacinth is here!”
“Quick, flatten that guy!”
The wailing people on the Ferris wheel seemed to have seen their savior, cheering together with the crowd on the ground.
Almost everyone had seen videos of Xin Yuehu and Hyacinth; perhaps some would jokingly discuss Hyacinth being teased by Xin Yuehu after dinner, but when truly facing a Monster, they would still give their cheers to this Magic Girl.
Hyacinth floated in mid-air, meeting the gaze of the giant Monster before her, gritting her teeth.
Flatten him?
Don’t be ridiculous!
Her previous slash had used all the magic power in her body! Yet, it only took one step back!
Where did this Monster come from, after all?!
.
“Ouch… My butt hurts so much…”
Su Tianqing rubbed her butt and tried to stand up, while Nan Jiayu quickly helped up the Golden Fox in front of her, whose ears and tail were bristling violently.
“Tianqing! Tianqing, are you okay? Are you hurt?”
“My butt… My butt hurts so much from the fall…”
Su Tianqing frowned in pain.
Who knew the Ferris wheel would suddenly lose power!
If Nan Jiayu hadn’t shielded her, it probably wouldn’t have been just a minor butt ache.
“Roar Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh!”
A low roar came from outside the cabin.
The two turned their heads to look, seeing the large Monster that had risen over twenty meters from the lake, and both froze.
“So big… What is that thing…” Nan Jiayu couldn’t believe her eyes.
—Nan Jiayu considered herself knowledgeable.
But even she had never seen such a gigantic Monster.
Su Tianqing was even more incredulous, rubbing her eyes repeatedly, her ears flattened against her head, trembling.
This is too big, hey!
secret codex, do you have to be so practical with what you give?! I can’t even control such a huge one!
What if Hyacinth gets blown up? How will I command this Monster afterwards?
Thinking of the subsequent troubles, Su Tianqing trembled all over from nervousness.
Seeing the Golden Fox beside her trembling, Nan Jiayu quickly hugged her and gently comforted her.
“Don’t be afraid, Tianqing, don’t be scared.”
“I…I’m not scared…I just…just…” The Golden Fox stammered.
But to Nan Jiayu, this voice sounded like incoherent babbling after being scared silly.
Just as the Cat Girl was about to say something more, continuous explosive roars sounded from a distance, followed by another low roar!
.
Hua Ling pressed against the cabin window, watching helplessly as Hyacinth was slapped into the water by the Monster, only to quickly fly back into the air from the water.
Even though she was drenched, she continuously fired blue magic missiles at it.
But neither the magic missiles nor the greatsword attacks…were effective at all!
“No! This Monster definitely can’t be dealt with by a single Magic Girl! It’s too strong!”
Bai Ling flapped her wings anxiously in the air, saying.
“Then what do we do? Will Xiaofeng be in danger?” Hua Ling asked nervously.
Bai Ling nodded.
“If this continues, she will definitely be in danger. The Hero Association is currently urgently mobilizing Magic Girls from the neighboring city to provide support, but even if they fly at full speed… it will take at least fifteen minutes!”
Fifteen minutes.
Hua Ling didn’t think Nan Xiaofeng could last fifteen minutes against such a Monster.
Even if she could, this Ferris wheel and even the entire amusement park… would be torn into ruins by the Monster!
“Oh no!”
Bai Ling suddenly cried out.
Hua Ling looked up and saw a scorching white light injection from the Monster’s mouth, directly hitting Hyacinth, who was unable to dodge!
【Magic Breath】
A figure flew out of the white light, crashing into the carousel, which had been urgently evacuated and cleared, sending up a large cloud of smoke!
Hua Ling’s mind buzzed.
Bai Ling had already rushed over, screaming, to check on Hyacinth’s condition. In the cabin, only the heavy footsteps of the Monster advancing towards the island in the middle of the lake could be heard, shaking even the ground.
Xiaofeng… she… was hit…?
Hit by that kind of attack just now?
After a brief silence, cries and wails once again echoed from the Ferris wheel.
Without a Magic Girl to stop this Monster, the people on the Ferris wheel would only have one outcome.
“Tianqing Jie… and Jiayu Jie… they are still on the Ferris wheel…”
Hua Ling murmured to herself, her trembling hands clenching into fists, yet feeling powerless.
What could she do?
Magical Girl Hyacinth had been defeated, her condition unknown, and she probably wouldn’t be able to get up from the ruins anytime soon.
Hua Ling remembered last night.
She had received a guardian star from Bai Ling and tried to transform into a Magic Girl on the rooftop, but there was no reaction at all.
She must gain the guardian star’s recognition—that’s what Bai Ling said.
Hua Ling picked up her small shoulder bag from the seat.
The golden cross lay quietly in the bag’s compartment, and besides that, there was a small note.
“I believe in you, Hua Ling”
“If it’s you, you’ll definitely be able to solve this smoothly, right?”
“If you really can’t solve it, just tell me quietly, and big sister will help you fix it~ I’ll definitely keep your secret.”
Beautiful small characters were clearly on the paper.
Hua Ling looked down at the guardian star in her hand, then at the small note filled with words.
“Tianqing Jie…”
The girl silently gripped the cross.
There were still people on the Ferris wheel who needed protection.
Tianqing Jie, Jiayu Jie, and other unfamiliar tourists.
As long as she could gain the guardian star’s recognition… No, she definitely could!
“Answer me! Stars!!”
.

【Task: Expansion · Third Stage, Completed】
Su Tianqing, who was concentrating on controlling the Monster, froze for a moment as the secret codex’s low voice echoed in her mind.
The little fox felt that she no longer needed to confirm the completion of this task.
—The dazzling flash of light before her was enough to explain everything.
“Puff! Boom!!!!”
A beam of light enveloped the Monster’s chest, accompanied by a strange magical roar, and a thunderous sound that could almost shatter glass!
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble!!!”
“######!!”
The Monster retreated several steps, its hand, which had been reaching towards the Ferris wheel, was violently forced back, and it fell backward, smashing a huge crater into the already empty shore plaza!
“What?! This is…”
In the ruins, Bai Ling was desperately scattering magic particles onto the incapacitated Nan Xiaofeng to help her recover, and both of them simultaneously saw the dazzling light.
【Magic Cannon】
Hyacinth was a Magic Girl specializing in close combat and could not use this type of firepower magic, but she had heard of it from Bai Ling.
This Magic Cannon was definitely not hers! So where did it… come from?!
“—Magic, loaded.”
A clear and elegant voice came from not far away.
“Target, locked.”
Hyacinth struggled to her feet, looking towards the white girl floating in front of the Ferris wheel, blocking the Monster.
Her white hair cascaded down, an elegant court-style dress enveloped the girl’s body, accentuating her youthful curves, and a brilliant golden crown rested on her head, like a vibrant young queen.
If one included the white cannon she had conjured from her magic staff beside her, she would probably be a beautiful cannon queen.
“Magic Cannon—Fire.”
