Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret

21. The First Appearance of the Cadre!

“It seems this is the place…”

Following the direction from which the chill had come, after some twists and turns, Bai Yu arrived at its source.

What she saw next were several massive spider webs, with two spiders perched upon them.

The two spiders were entirely black, their compound eyes emitting a terrifying red glow.

“…Hiss.”

Upon seeing Bai Yu appear not far away, one of the giant spiders let out a threatening sound, seemingly warning her not to come closer.

“Is there still no casualties…”

Glancing at the building where the spiders were located, Bai Yu quickly shifted her gaze back.

Fortunately, she had arrived in time; otherwise, if these trap-like negative beasts had set up their traps, defeating them would be extremely tricky.

It was better to take them down quickly while she had the chance.

Thinking this, Bai Yu lowered her head, looked at the necklace around her neck, and then swiftly removed the blue gem from it.

Then, raising the gem high with her right hand, she said:

“Transformation.”

In the next moment, a blue light erupted from Bai Yu’s body, causing the eyes of the giant spiders to shut tightly.

When the blue glow dissipated, what appeared before them was the magical girl, Lan Ye.

Lan Ye’s appearance, though not as shocking as that of the Firebird, was filled with mystery and the unknown.

After all… the outfit she wore was composed of a series of dark, cool-toned garments, making it difficult to see clearly.

Overall, her current attire resembled that of a Western sea deity.

“I’ll take care of you within three minutes.”

Thinking this in her heart, Bai Yu instantly liquefied her body and, with incredible speed, rushed through the cracks in the ground towards the giant spiders.

“…Hiss?”

Seeing Bai Yu, who had just been in front of them, turn into a puddle of water and vanish in an instant, the two giant spiders panicked, hastily observing their surroundings in an attempt to find Bai Yu’s trace.

However, no matter how they searched, it was futile, for at the moment they began to panic, Bai Yu had already surged up from beneath them—

“Boom!”

Within her petite fist was immense power; those who had fought against magical girls understood this truth clearly. So, from the moment they were struck first, the outcome had already become clear.

“Bang!”

The first giant spider to be attacked by Bai Yu was instantly sent flying, soaring at least twenty meters into the air before crashing down to the ground.

The other giant spider noticed her and opened its mouth, spitting out silk in an attempt to ensnare her.

However, this had no effect, as Bai Yu, possessing the ability to liquefy, easily evaded the giant spider’s attack after turning into liquid.

Then, she turned around, canceled her liquefaction ability, grabbed the silk spat out by the giant spider, and violently flung it, sending the giant spider soaring into the sky.

“!!!”

Afterwards, she pulled down with force, slamming it into the ground.

At this point, both giant spiders had been subdued by her and lost their ability to move.

And this entire sequence of actions had taken barely over two minutes.

“…It seems like there’s no need to call her over now.”

“Since I’ve already finished the fight… what’s the point of calling her here…”

Looking at the two giant spiders trapped inside, Bai Yu suddenly felt a bit regretful.

After all, she still wasn’t keen on interacting with Wu Yue; communicating with such troublesome people… was really exhausting.

Moreover, if that You Yu wasn’t around, it was indeed possible that there might be another argument.

“…”

“Let’s deal with these two first.”

But no matter how she thought about it, there was no use regretting now.

It would be better to resolve these things early and then see if there’s a chance to leave.

After all, I can just make up an excuse.

Thinking this, Bai Yu walked up to the two giant spiders and raised her fist, which was already wrapped in a layer of water, high into the air.

Then…

“Bang!”

The fist swung down, hitting the object and erupting in a cloud of smoke.

“What is this?!”

However, after swinging her fist, she realized that the thing she had struck felt completely different from the spider just now.

It was something very, very hard.

In an instant, she knew what it was.

Because this sensation…

She was all too familiar with it from the first time she transformed into a magical girl.

“Whew—”

As the smoke cleared, what appeared before her was a transparent cube glowing with red light.

“Just as I thought!”

With a powerful leap, she quickly retreated several meters, frowning and watching the location of the cube with caution.

That thing… was a protective shield. Generally, low-level negative beasts, especially this kind, shouldn’t have the ability to summon such protective shields!

Unless…

“Have I run into an officer…?”

Just like in the animations, the appearance of these monsters usually had someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.

And such people were collectively referred to as officers.

They possessed abilities superior to ordinary monsters, higher intelligence, and more sinister methods.

Moreover, they usually wouldn’t appear on their own.

But this time, it had taken the initiative to show up…

Why?

Watching the humanoid unknown creature flying out from behind the two spiders, Bai Yu thought rapidly in her mind.

“…You seem very alert… Lan Ye.”

The flying humanoid unknown creature said.

“…This doesn’t seem like the first time we’ve met you… Back then, you were filled with hatred and hostility towards us.”

“But now… I can no longer sense that feeling from you.”

“Has time erased it?”

“…After all, compared to thinking every day about how to curse you beasts to death, it’s better to take action directly.”

After the sarcastic remark, Bai Yu felt an unprecedented tension rising within her.

In the past, during the time she fought alone, she had tried to confront these high-ranking figures, but each time ended in failure.

Because back then, she simply didn’t have the ability to stop them; she could only let them escape.

And this time… the initiative was not in her hands; it was these officials who had personally sent someone to trouble her.

So she feared that her chances of survival were slim…

“…You’re still not worthy, Lan Ye.”

As if sensing her thoughts, the humanoid creature continued:

“Fighting you now wouldn’t yield us much benefit.”

“So, this time, it’s not me who will fight you—”

“But them.”

As it spoke, the two giant spiders seemed to merge together, drawn by a strange force…
