"What the hell is this?"
Mei Ling screamed as she saw the black, slime-like monsters with tentacles in front of her. Xiao Lang also raised his sword and talisman paper and looked at the monsters carefully.
"Be careful, these are shadow monsters. They aren't very strong, but there are a lot of them, so they're hard to deal with!"
Illya and Xiaohei also rushed to the two of them and protected them. At the same time, Illya said something to Xiaolang and Meiling. After hearing Illya's explanation, Meiling was also stunned.
"But why didn't I see this when Syaoran recovered the Clow Cards several times before?"
"Because this thing is aimed at magical girls, and you're not a magical girl."
Xiao Hei curled his lips and glanced at Mei Ling.
"Okay, stay back there and don't get in the way."
"Who said I was in the way? I can fight, too!"
"Mei Ling, stop acting like a child at this time!"
At this moment, Little Wolf hurriedly stopped Mei Ling from complaining. He could see that the current situation was obviously very bad. Although he didn't know what these monsters were, it was obvious that they were not here with good intentions!
Since this was not the first time they had to deal with these shadow monsters, the two sides soon began to fight again. Fang Zheng stood in front of the screen, staring carefully at the monsters in front of him.
"Ms. Precia, can you help with the search?"
"Sure no problem, I'm doing it."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Precia, who was typing on the keyboard, gave an answer without turning her head. As a great magician (in the past), Precia had outstanding performance in biochemistry and space research as well as magic power energy. This was another reason why Fang Zheng was willing to save her.
Even through the "Whispering Volume", Fang Zheng was unable to pinpoint the origins of these black shadow monsters, so he could only ask Precia to think of a solution.
“Come on, Mom!”
Looking at Precia, Alicia clenched her fists happily and waved them vigorously, and Precia smiled slightly when she heard her daughter's words.
"Don't worry, Alicia, just leave it to me."
As he spoke, Precia quickly typed on the keyboard. Soon, lines of information appeared on the screen, and then he began to quickly lock onto these shadow monsters. After a while, Precia raised his eyebrows when he looked at the data above.
"My lord, these black shadow monsters... seem a little unusual."
"What did you find?"
"According to the results of my investigation, these black shadow monsters look more like some kind of... residue that has been stained with magic power and condensed... Well, just like the target objects that went berserk after absorbing the energy of the Holy Stone Seed after being activated."
"You mean they were originally just harmless emotional residues, and they have their current form because they were contaminated by the magic of this world?"
"To be honest, it's hard for me to tell if they are really harmless in this state."
Looking at the black monsters on the screen that looked like ferocious beasts, Precia was somewhat worried.
"Can you determine where they came from?"
Fang Zheng was not here to investigate or study these things. He just wanted to know where these dark shadow monsters came from and how to deal with them.
"I'm trying hard, but the energy fluctuations of these shadow monsters are very unstable. I'm afraid it will be difficult. But as long as I can record the energy frequency of these shadow monsters, then it will only be a matter of time."
As the two were talking, the battlefield situation on the screen also changed.
Since almost all the magical girls were present this time, the number of black shadow monsters that appeared was far greater than before. Countless black shadow monsters climbed up from the wire mesh in all directions and pounced on the magical girls. However, with the joint efforts of Illya, Kuro, Sakura, Nanoha and Fate, these black shadow monsters basically returned empty-handed.
Even Xiaolang took a Heavenly Master Talisman and used the "Hurry and Command" command at any time, and then summoned a lightning bolt to destroy all the black shadow monsters that were trying to take advantage of the situation. Meiling even asked Xiaohei for a sword and rushed over to fight with the black shadow monsters, which was quite impressive... Well, at least so far, everything was normal.
However, if he looked closely, Fang Zheng could still find some problems.
That is, the shadow monsters basically won't attack anyone other than the magical girls. You know, Tomoyo is standing not far away. Although Sakura has given her a shield for protection, Tomoyo herself has little fighting power. Syaoran and Meiling are also fighting hard, but even if Syaoran uses lightning to smash the shadow monsters into pieces, or Meiling cuts them in half with a sword, the shadow monsters still ignore them.
It seemed as if they had identified those magical girls and intended to kill them. They rushed forward recklessly, ignoring everything else.
This is not like a robot that doesn't care about anything other than its goal, but more like a creature driven by some intense emotion that doesn't care about anything else.
There are more and more shadow monsters, and the attack intensity of Nanoha and others is getting stronger and stronger. If the shadow monsters did not disappear immediately after being killed, I am afraid that the corpses of shadow monsters would be everywhere under everyone's feet by now.
However, at this moment, suddenly, for some unknown reason, the black shadow monsters that were rushing forward stopped as if they sensed something. Then they quickly began to condense as if they were attracted by a magnet!
"What happened?"
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng's expression suddenly changed slightly, and then he asked, and Precia's expression also became serious at this time.
"I'm not sure, but I can feel a very unique soul power... It is absorbing and merging with the power of those black shadow monsters!"
As he was talking, he saw the black shadow monsters had already condensed into a ball, and then...
“——!!”
The next moment, the entire sky suddenly changed color.
The originally dark night sky turned into a chaotic color like a watercolor painting painted by a childish child. At the same time, a figure that looked like it was made up of black lines appeared in front of the girls. It looked like a girl from the outside, and even had gorgeous decorations on its upper body. However, its lower body seemed to be made up of countless black lines that spread out layer by layer, covering everyone.
"What's this?!"
Fang Zheng could no longer sit still at this point. He could feel that this strange monster possessed a peculiar aura of destruction. Of course, its power was not much stronger than other black shadow monsters. Strictly speaking, it was equal to the sum of all the magical girls in front of him. But for some reason, this black shadow monster gave Fang Zheng a very bad feeling.
Not only Fang Zheng, but the magical girls on the battlefield at this moment also have the same feeling.
"What, what is this..."
Sakura tightly gripped her staff and looked at the terrifying monster in front of her. For some reason, she could feel that the gaze it gave her was filled with deep malice, which made Sakura instinctively feel fear.
"What the hell is this thing?!"
Even Illya and Xiao Hei looked much more serious at this moment. This was not a difference in strength, but more like some kind of... mutual promotion and restraint.
No one noticed that at this moment, a small black cat with a blue ribbon tied on its tail jumped out silently from the shadow next to it, and its eyes were fixed on the huge monster in front of it, looking at it without blinking.
