And right now, Sakura and the others are in danger.

"Xiao Ke, what should we do?"

Sakura opened the "shield" card, held the staff in her hand, and spoke uneasily. Although it was not her first time to fight, the spirits in the Clow Cards were generally relatively gentle. But these terrible black monsters were obviously different. Although Sakura didn't know what they were, she could feel the brutal and fierce killing intent they showed.

"Wow... let me think about it, let me think about it..."

Xiao Ke, who spoke with an Osaka accent, was also very anxious. If it could recover its original form, it would still be confident that it could destroy these monsters that came out of nowhere. But now that it has lost the Clow Cards, it is just a flying puppet, with no power at all.

If Sakura was alone, maybe she could still leave, but Tomoyo was by her side.

"Xiao Ke! The shield seems to be failing!!"

However, at this moment, something even worse happened - the shield that was originally protecting the three people began to flicker constantly, and Sakura, who was holding the staff tightly, showed an expression of some effort.

"Oops, my magic power is almost used up!"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ke was also shocked. Of course, he knew what was going on. When recovering the Clow Cards, Xiao Sakura had already consumed a lot of magic power, and then encountered the attack of these shadow monsters. Now her magic power is about to run out!

"Bang!!"

Another black shadow monster slammed heavily into the shield, and then spread out backwards. Although the shield blocked its attack, this blow seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. With a crisp shattering sound, the shield suddenly broke, and Sakura screamed and sat back on the ground.

"Sakura!!"

Seeing this, Tomoyo also hurried to Sakura's side. At this moment, the black shadow monsters had surrounded them, and they sneered sharply, as if a group of wolves were teasing their prey. Seeing this, Sakura hugged Tomoyo tightly. Although she didn't know what to do next, she... had to protect her friends!

And at this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded from above.

“Shotgun!!”

At the same time, pink shotgun shells fell from the sky and hit the group of monsters. The black shadow monsters were greatly surprised by the sudden attack and quickly retreated to the rear.

"Now, Chise, let's go!"

Sakura's reaction was also dissatisfied. After seeing the black shadow monsters disperse, she hurriedly grabbed Tomoyo's hand, and together with Xiaoke, they quickly rushed out of the encirclement through the opened road.

"roar--!!"

The black shadow monsters obviously didn't want to see their prey escape, and when they saw Sakura and the others trying to break out of the encirclement, they roared and pounced on them again.

But before the dark monsters' sharp claws could pounce on Sakura and the others, a silver-white sword light suddenly appeared and ruthlessly tore through the dark monsters' bodies.

"Crane Wing Triple Combo!!"

“Wa ...

With screams, the dark monster that bore the brunt of the attack instantly dissipated. At this time, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Xiao Ke, who had escaped the encirclement, turned their heads and looked behind them. There stood two girls who looked about the same age as them. One of them was wearing a red and black tights and holding two short swords. The other was wearing a pink short skirt and long boots, and holding a pink magic wand similar to Sakura's...

They have beautiful long silver hair that looks like moonlight, and very familiar cute faces...

"Sister Illya? Sister Xiao Hei?!"

Seeing these two people, Sakura screamed.

"Hey? Sakura? Do you know them?"

Hearing Sakura's call, Xiao Ke couldn't help but look at Sakura in surprise, and Sakura nodded.

"Yeah, didn't I tell you before, Xiaoke, that the new neighbors who moved next to our house... Hey? Are they also magicians?"

"Let's talk later, let's get rid of these monsters first! Illya, let's go!"

"good!"

Hearing what Xiao Hei said, Illya nodded, then she looked at the monster in front of her, reached under her skirt with her right hand, and pulled out a Saber.

"Dream summons!"

As Illya called out, the golden card on top of her staff suddenly emitted a dazzling light that enveloped Illya. A moment later, when the light faded, Illya's entire appearance changed - she was no longer wearing a pink magical girl costume, but a pure white kimono. At the same time, the staff in Illya's hand turned into a long Japanese sword.

“Wow.”

Seeing this scene, Xiao Hei couldn't help but whistle. You know, Illya rarely uses Dream Summoning directly in battle on weekdays, but this time she used it directly in front of Sakura... Maybe it's the competitive spirit of being a fellow magical girl?

"call……"

After completing her transformation, Illya let out a light breath, then she opened her eyes.

At this moment, her originally bright red eyes suddenly turned into a deep blue color.

“——!”

Being stared at by Illya's eyes, even the black shadow monsters that were rushing towards the crowd couldn't help but tremble. While being stared at by those eyes, they seemed to - see death.

"Everything is a dream - this is the flower of farewell."

As she spoke, Illya raised the long sword in her hand.

"Straight to death - disappear between the two yin and yang!"

Along with the shout, Illya's figure suddenly flashed, and then a dazzling sword light turned into thunder and pierced through the group of monsters in front of her. The next moment, Illya appeared behind the black shadow monsters. She turned her back to the black shadow monsters, clenched the long sword in her hand, and swung it downwards.

“Swish!”

The next moment, the monsters behind Illya were instantly cut into pieces, and they let out shrill screams and disappeared into the air.

"Illya did a great job, so I can't fall behind!"

Seeing Illya fighting, Xiao Hei nodded with satisfaction. Then she summoned two daggers and rushed into the group of monsters in front of her.

Although these black shadow monsters had shown considerable strength before, when Xiao Hei arrived, they were as powerless as sheep. Xiao Hei was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, easily maneuvering among these black shadow monsters. With a casual swing of the sword, he would kill a black shadow monster instantly. Before long, the black shadow monsters in front of them were almost wiped out by the two of them.

“So amazing…”

Sakura and Tomoyo stared at the scene in front of them with their eyes wide open, completely speechless. Although Sakura had fought with the spirits of the Clow Cards during this period, the battles between the two sides were basically of a more "peaceful" type, and the Clow Cards rarely killed anyone.

But at the moment, the battle between Xiao Hei and Illya was even more intense, just like a scene in a movie. Tomoyo excitedly picked up the camera in his hand and started filming the scenes in front of him.

They never thought they would see such a scene!

However, the danger is not over.

“Woo…”

"Come again?"

Although Ilya and Xiao Hei worked together to kill this wave of black shadow monsters, new black shadow monsters soon appeared from the woods. Seeing this scene, Xiao Hei couldn't help but frowned, then bent his bow and drew his arrow...

"Wait, Xiao Hei, if you use the fake spiral sword here, it will attract other people's attention!"

Illya, who was standing next to him, was quick to move and pushed Xiao Hei's hand down.

"So what do you say we should do? There's no end to this!"

"MASTER asked us to reunite with him, let's retreat first!"

"All right."

After hearing what Illya said, Xiao Hei thought for a moment, then nodded. Then the two of them immediately turned around and came to Sakura and Tomoyo.

"Let's go!"
