Magical Girl Heavy Dependence

Chapter 78, [The Girls Who Inherited the Hero's Weapons]

Cheng Chen followed the navigation and drove to the address sent by Jiang Fei.

The neon lights of Yincheng shone brightly at night, and a hazy layer of light covered the sky, obscuring the stars, except for a lonely gray moon.

Under the moonlight, dazzling magical trails streaked across the sky like shooting stars, just as Jiang Fei had said, the Magical Girl Association had been mobilized.

As for the location of the logistics company...

Cheng Chen glanced at the map briefly; it was located in the Longyin District, which was right next to the Tian'e District.

Although it's not as bustling as Tian'e District, where major companies are clustered, this is the city center of Yincheng. Not only are there numerous municipal departments, but it also boasts a large cluster of ancient buildings... Naturally, it's also the area with the most tourists and hotels.

"Trying to make a big splash, huh?"

Cheng Chen sighed silently.

The brake lights ahead formed a sea of ​​red as the Qimingxing X7 gradually slowed down and finally came to a stop.

Traffic control has begun, blocking the flow of vehicles heading to Longyin District, and causing major traffic jams on the main roads.

He wasn't in a hurry; instead, he took the opportunity to close his eyes.

The girls who inherited the heroes' weapons

[Type: Miracle (WARNING! Danger!)]

Even heroes who once saved the world will one day be buried by history. A girl, desperate for help, took the holy sword from the hands of a hero's statue overgrown with decaying vines and thorns. She became that statue, waiting to awaken again.

[When creating miracles, a mental image is needed: a hill of savage decay]

[A credential is required to perform a miracle: the Holy Sword]

[WARNING!! The consequences of unleashing a miracle are unpredictable, as are the costs of creating one!!]

[Required Magic Level: Ascended]

This was the first time Cheng Chen had attempted to analyze the copy of the universal miracle that his mentor had given him.

A miracle is proof that something transcends the limits of mortals.

Every miracle is constructed by truly extraordinary beings such as mentors, fairies, and sorceresses, deeply imprinted with their thoughts, will, and creeds. Anyone who attempts to imitate it will be swept away, ultimately suffering either a mental breakdown and becoming a fanatical follower of the miracle's master, or becoming absorbed into it, becoming a part of the spell's traces.

The so-called "universal miracles" are spells whose creators are no longer alive, but which have been passed down in some form.

This does not mean they are harmless. The caster's mind cannot resist the erosion of the builder, and it is very likely that at the moment of casting the spell, the personality will be replaced with the other party's appearance.

A kind of possession and rebirth that transcends time and is passed down through knowledge.

Before Cheng Chen begins to find his way and build his own miracle, he needs to learn and refer to others.

Based on his understanding of his mentor, the girls who inherited the hero's weapon were definitely the most likely universal miracles to break his mind and cause him to fall into depravity.

The mentor's harmless white-haired loli appearance could never truly conceal the cruelty of a demon within her heart.

Taking a deep breath, the underlying structure of the miracle began to slowly unfold in his mind, and Cheng Chen was momentarily lost in thought.

Those obscure and incomprehensible records, like celestial scripture, nearly overwhelmed his brain.

The complexity of this miracle far exceeded any spell he had ever seen. What was meant by "the accumulation of obsessions that construct mental images"? And what was meant by "the dismantling of the forging process of the Holy Sword Token"?

The dense text of original knowledge, coupled with the occasional markings and annotations left by his tutor, gave him the illusion of a primary school student reading a first-tier academic paper.

"……really."

Beyond the fifth level of conventional magic lies not the sixth level, but another entirely different and unimaginable realm.

With his talent and experience, can he really recreate the miracle without being devoured?

Unable to determine the outcome, Cheng Chen revealed a resolute look in his eyes.

"System, read it for me!"

The instruction has been issued.

boom!

His brain felt as if it had been plunged into boiling magma in an instant, and Cheng Chen's body temperature soared to a level high enough to scorch others. His skin flushed an unnatural red, and even his breathing became heavy and labored, like a bellows.

However, he was extremely excited and his acceptance of knowledge was elevated to a higher level of cognition.

Mental image!

certificate!

The secrets of this miracle, the optimal procedure for casting spells, and the well-known knowledge were all laid out in my mind.

"...Heh heh!"

Cheng Chen slumped over the steering wheel, his clothes soaked with sweat.

His vision blurred from exhaustion, and the transparent girls were only vague outlines, seemingly surrounding him and whispering illusory laughter in his ear.

He exhaled and waved away the illusion.

He had now realized the price of the [miracle]. When he actually released the spell, those 'girls' would solidify from their illusions and enter reality.

Cheng Chen didn't know who they were, or whether they would obey orders.

But he will bear the cost they need to enter reality.

Even a fool could tell that nothing good would happen.

"Even those who aren't creators of miracles will ultimately face these kinds of limitations...?"

Cheng Chen shook his head slightly. If he were the master of the girls, they would never be at risk of losing control.

dong dong dong.

Someone knocked on the car window from the outside.

Cheng Chen turned his head and saw Jiang Fei's tense face outside the car window.

"What happened?"

He unlocked the car door, and Jiang Fei went straight into the passenger seat.

As soon as she sat down, her nose twitched involuntarily. After catching a whiff of the unfamiliar woman's fragrance, she frowned.

"The situation is terrible. The entire Dragon's Blood District is in a strange state, a kind of... domain? Although the inside and outside are not sealed off, the properties of magic change after passing through the edge." Jiang Fei answered while typing rapidly on her phone, "The magical girls are suppressed, and the magic of the five major systems has lost its response."

Cheng Chen pulled out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Unresponsive?"

"That's right. Spells can't be cast from the barrier. Magical girls below the third-tier 'Radiant Feather' level will immediately cancel their transformations if they enter. Several reckless juniors have already fallen from the sky. The association and the city are arranging ambulances."

Jiang Fei spoke very quickly, "But the domain hasn't spread, so the other party's goal isn't to summon an outer god or destroy the city. Considering those corpses... the worst-case scenario is that they're after us. When the sun rises tomorrow, the Dragon's Blood District will become a deserted dead city, and the mastermind will escape, casually dumping the blame on us before leaving."

"What's the purpose?"

Cheng Chen frowned. "What do we have that would make them go to such lengths to covet us?"

Jiang Fei couldn't say it either.

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

A moment later, Cheng Chen sighed and reached out to unbuckle his seatbelt with a 'click'.

"What are you going to do?" Jiang Fei stopped him.

"Let's go in and take a look," Cheng Chen said. "We need to talk to the person in question to find out what their demands are. We can't just wait outside, can we?"

Jiang Fei hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I'll go with you."

"They won't let the two of us get together." Cheng Chen shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed to confirm his guess.

Ding-a-ling~

Ding-a-ling~

On the main road where traffic was jammed for hundreds of meters, the sound of a bell suddenly echoed from somewhere.
