My brother couldn't be a corrupted magical girl.

Chapter 67 Forbidden Zone

Violet gently waved her hand.

A brand-new desk and chair and accompanying textbooks appeared in front of Li Xuanyu, who felt a pang of sadness upon seeing the desk piled high with textbooks.

Ah, no...

Why are there textbooks even after becoming a magical girl?!

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's begin the formal lesson. Today I'll mainly explain the differences between magical gowns and melee/ranged magical girls."

"You should know that the main power of a magical girl comes from the magic core. On the battlefield, the magical dress is the magical girl's most powerful means of protection and defense."

However, please note that the areas not covered by the magic dress offer no protection whatsoever. I hope you will keep this in mind.

The magical girls exchanged glances, a chill creeping over their pale necks.

They finally understood why most of the magical girls who sacrificed themselves on the battlefield were decapitated or had their limbs brutally cut off. At first, they thought it was because the monsters were too cruel, but it turned out to be due to this reason.

"In addition, once the protective magic on the magical girl's magical dress is broken and the surface of the dress is damaged in large areas, the magical girl's defense will be greatly reduced. At this time, you need to rest and wait patiently for the magic to recover. It will automatically repair the magical dress."

"In this situation, never be reckless, even if the opponent only has a sliver of health left!"

"Magical girls are also divided into melee magical girls and ranged magical girls. The former mostly possess melee weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds, while ranged magical girls are capable of casting magic to carry out effective attacks from a distance."

I'll skip the part about melee magical girls for now and talk about it later. You haven't even summoned your magic devices yet; your current weapons are all magic staffs.

Let me first talk about the advantages of ranged magical girls. Ranged magical girls can eliminate enemies from a distance while ensuring their own safety, and they can also expand their attack range to better support their teammates.

"What are the drawbacks of a remote magical girl?" Li Xuanyu asked.

Over the past few days, although she hadn't killed many calamity beasts, she had a vague feeling that she was probably on the path of a ranged magical girl.

"Firstly, ranged magical girls are similar to fragile mages, with high attack but low defense, and they need the protection of teammates."

"Secondly, the time it takes to chant a magic spell and the magic power stored in the magic core are both important factors that can affect a ranged magical girl."

Having just answered Li Xuanyu's question, Bai Youqing continued, "Senior Xiaolan, are there any super mages who are both ranged and melee magical girls?"

"have."

"Hey, who is it?"

"Kikyo the Magician".

The violet raised its head.

He took a deep look at his younger sister.

Whether it was just their imagination or not, the magical girls present felt that when Violet-senpai said that name, there was a hint of gritted teeth in her voice.

"Alright, don't be too ambitious. Under normal circumstances, it's difficult for a magical girl to be proficient in both ranged and melee combat. In most battles, magical girls are not advised to fight alone, but rather to cooperate as a team."

......

half an hour later

"Alright, that concludes today's theoretical instruction. Next up is practical instruction. Theory and practice are like parents; only by combining the two can a wise child be born. Neither is dispensable."

Theory without practice is just dead words, like castles in the air, unable to fully exert its guiding significance. Next, I plan to take you to the eastern district of Yeqiu City for some practical experience.

Violet wrote down the theory and practice on the blackboard. Turning her head, she could see the different expressions on the faces of the younger magic students below.

There was joy, doubt, and worry...

"Great! My magic wand has been itching for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't had the chance."

"The eastern district of Yeqiu City has always been a restricted area explicitly prohibited by the authorities. Is it really okay for us to go there?"

"..."

Violet patted the small lecture hall, interrupting the girls' chatter, "Tell me about your own strength, and I'll find some combat materials for you later."

Xia Qing: "Red Rose - Sprout"

Han Xue: "Snow Plum - Scattered Leaves"

Bai Youqing: "Green Ivy - Seedling Development"

Li Xuanyu: "Green Tangerine - Seed Accumulation"

"Okay, I understand."

Violet nodded, her face expressionless, but inwardly she sighed, thinking that with their current strength, it would be difficult for the Sword Orchid Squad to participate in the World Tree Organization's Magical Girl Tournament.

Yeqiu City East District, the area where the Abyss invasion was finally intercepted.

No man's land, which is strictly prohibited by human authorities

It is also the place where the Lord of the Abyss, the Abyss Calamity Beast Titan, fell.

What is visible to the naked eye are scattered ruins and fragments, with all sorts of debris scattered on the streets.

Under the attack of the abyssal beast, the entire city's buildings were reduced to nothingness in an instant. The steel bars of the skyscrapers crumbled, soil and bricks flew everywhere, and buildings collapsed one after another, becoming part of the disaster.

All that remains for people is ruins and a chaotic scene.

The once bustling eastern district of Yeqiu City has now become a horrifying sight, as if it had never experienced civilization and prosperity.

The magical girls flying in the air could still see a few scattered people inside, wearing cloaks and looking like vagrants, searching among the ruins.

"Isn't this a restricted area and a no-man's land? Why would anyone dare to come in?" Li Xuanyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because there are many relatively intact valuables, instruments, and electronic products in these ruins... Some fearless people will come in to scavenge for trash, and usually, this one trip can make them a fortune."

Violet explained calmly.

During her journey, she seemed to have a sudden realization, turned her head, and landed.

Beside the building, there stood a dark stone, seemingly unremarkable.

She suddenly stopped, and the other magical girls followed suit.

"Violet-senpai, what's wrong?"

Violet didn't speak, but walked quietly through the ruins scattered with wreckage.

Swish! Swish!! Swish!!

As she drew closer, the sound of heavy objects crashing down came from the ruins.

Then a foul-smelling mist instantly wafted out from the cracks in the intact wooden cabinet beneath the stone.

It was still a sunny afternoon.

Suddenly, black mist filled the air.

Five pairs of blood-red eyes stared blankly at Violet in the black mist, roaring and threatening, but they dared not move forward; they dared not step out.

Violet, however, lifted her foot and walked straight inside.

Xia Qing's gaze immediately turned towards Han Xue's direction, her eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

She didn't know, but Han Xue definitely did.

Han Xue sighed and began to introduce the witch girl beside her:

"The Abyss Hellhound is cunning by nature, can understand human language, bullies the weak and fears the strong, likes dark corners, and its favorite thing is to ambush from behind. A single hellhound is not very strong."

Located between the [Eclipse of the Moon] and [Falling Sun] levels, their individual strength is quite average. However, they never act alone and prefer to move in groups. If you are alone and your strength has not reached the level of Scattered Leaves, it is best not to provoke them.

The magical girls nodded in sudden realization, their gazes sweeping across the battlefield. They found the scene utterly comical: for every step Violet took forward, the five Abyssal Cerberus retreated a step.

"Female larva, don't go any further. We in the Abyss also value the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. Don't force us to take action, or you'll regret it later."

Five hideous hellhounds retreated, baring their teeth and threateningly.

The hellhound's forepaws were pale, bony blades, with long, sharp nails. The green acid secreted from its body corroded tiny holes in the marble slabs it passed over.

Violet didn't speak, and a fiery red Tang-style horizontal sword appeared in her hand.

"Brothers, run!!!"

The lead hellhound roared, then pushed off with all its might with its four paws, charging desperately toward the dog hole ahead.

Suddenly, a semi-transparent purple magic barrier appeared, and all five hellhounds crashed into it, their brains bursting open.

Knowing that it couldn't escape, the lead hellhound didn't hesitate and immediately turned around and charged at the seemingly weak female cub.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a dog.

In an instant,

A powerful white sword wave sliced ​​through the air, aiming for the neck of the hellhound leader.

Bang!

The two-meter-tall hellhound leader paused, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, its head severed from its body.

Before Violet could even process the familiar abyssal energy transforming into holy power, the abyssal aura transformed into holy power.

Next second,

A bewitching and sinister aura of pale purple suddenly emanated from the candle tears and spread to her arm. It was a vine-like reddish-purple tattoo that spread along her arm and throughout her body with each heartbeat, until it reached her lower abdomen and formed a cursed pattern, emitting a pale purple light.

The reddish-purple tattoo flashed by and disappeared quickly, but a very small purple mark appeared on her originally fair abdomen.

Violet paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered her promise to Iris.

Well, it turns out that the Demonic Device was indeed tampered with by the Demon Princess Iris.

The hellhound leader was killed in one move, and the other hellhounds were truly too afraid to move, trembling incessantly.

Violet glanced at the four magical girls behind her, then at the four Abyss Hellhounds in front of her—just the right number.

"I'm giving you a chance to live. Do you want it?"

"Sir, please speak."

The hellhound with purple eyes stepped forward; after the leader's death, it was the strongest hellhound among them.

"If you can defeat the magical girl behind me, I will let you go."

"real?"

I never want to repeat myself.

With a wave of her hand, Violet vanished the evil black mist that filled the sky. She walked up to the magical girl and pointed at the four hellhounds.

"Apart from the hellhound with purple eyes, which has the strength of [Sunfall], give it to Han Xue. The other hellhounds are all around the strength of [Moon Eclipse]. Xia Qing, each of you choose one."

The group of magical girl juniors looked at each other in disbelief; this actual combat was completely different from what they had imagined.

Unlike Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu, who were standing there in a daze, Xia Qing had already quietly come to Han Xue's side and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xue, what are the weaknesses of the Abyss Hellhounds? What kind of magic do they know...?"

This looks exactly like a student cramming for an exam at the last minute.

If there's no other way, she's familiar with most types of monsters in the city, but they've never been to the eastern district of Yeqiu City before.

They knew absolutely nothing about the monsters here.
