Stomp

In the past two years, officials had rolled out the latest “Moonwatch” mega Star Rings across regions.

These upgraded the detection range to 1,200–72,000, capable of catching even early Ghost-level dimensional beasts.

The maximum detection limit now extended to mid-Dragon level, further securing the borders.

If Feiyu recalled correctly, Jiuming Sea’s Star Rings had been upgraded to Moonwatch a year ago.

The error margin should’ve been even lower.

Yet, a mid-King-level dimensional beast still slipped through.

The first thing that came to mind was the usual suspect…

These colossal Star Rings, like spaceships, spanned 10 kilometers in diameter, each costing nearly a hundred billion.

Equipping all hundred-plus zones of the Realm Gate would cost an astronomical sum.

The potential for corruption was massive.

“I need to bring this up with Lady Xingyue. We can’t let those scumbags cause magical girls to die in vain!”

Hospital Entrance

“Such a pity. Looks like this is as far as I can take you.”

Xingyue looked at the white-haired bundle still nestled against her chest.

“So, can you get off me now?”

“Ah, sorry, we’re already here?”

Luo You reluctantly loosened her legs, which had been tightly wrapped around Xingyue’s waist.

But as she let go, she stumbled, lurching forward.

Her hands grabbed at Xingyue, leaving claw-like dents in her clothes that lingered for a few seconds.

“Oh no, I’m so sorry! It wasn’t on purpose!”

“It’s fine. Go see the doctor.”

Xingyue didn’t care.

In a flash, she soared into the sky, heading to guard the Realm Gate.

Her speed was staggering, the wind roaring past her ears as the city below blurred into a streak.

Within minutes, she was nearing the neighboring city.

Her mind was fixated on one thing.

“Her legs… gripped so tightly…” Xingyue touched her waist.

It reminded her of that night seven years ago, when she’d been squeezed so hard her waist ached for days.

It felt even stronger now…

Could her waist handle another round?

Better start working out more.

She couldn’t afford to embarrass herself when the real action started…

On the other side, Luo You smacked her lips regretfully after watching Xingyue leave.

She lingered for over a minute, savoring the moment, before entering the hospital.

“If only there hadn’t been clothes in the way.”

No question—Xingyue was even more delectable than seven years ago.

Back then, Xingyue had shown incredible skill but was still green in terms of feminine allure.

After seven years of maturing, her charm now radiated from within, richer and more enticing.

“Gotta find a chance to take her down and have my fun for seven days and nights!”

Inside the hospital, Luo You didn’t do anything.

She slipped into a bathroom and stayed there.

She wasn’t injured—she’d dislocated her arm on purpose for the act and popped it back in easily.

“Now, time to deal with those guys.”

A cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Transform!

“Talk. Were you sent by the rogue organization?”

Zhou Xi was interrogating the four kidnappers her own way.

The results were, unsurprisingly, lackluster.

Bound by the magical girl code, brutal interrogation methods were off-limits.

She wasn’t getting anywhere.

[At the meeting, Lady Xingyue said Elera defected from the rogue organization. So why are they asking me about her? Are they trying to settle scores with her?]

Zhou Xi was puzzled.

Did the rogue organization even have the power to take on Elera?

Or maybe… Hah!?

A magical fluctuation from the southwest!

She barely turned toward it when an object tore through the air at high speed.

The intense wind pressure whipped her hair wildly.

Boom!

The unidentified object crashed into the ground, kicking up a massive dust cloud.

Shattered rocks shot out like bullets.

Zhou Xi’s magical shield rippled under the barrage of debris.

“This power… an assassination attempt?”

She glanced at the four kidnappers.

Three were barely alive, bloodied and mangled.

The fourth was gone.

Where’d he go?

Answer: two kilometers away.

Thud!

The man in the bull mask was slammed to the ground, groaning in pain.

“You’re lucky, kid. If I hadn’t shielded you with Three Lives, Ten Directions Pure Land, my acceleration alone would’ve made you explode.”

“Cough, cough—who… who are you…!?”

Bull Man looked up, his eyes lighting up with shock and joy.

“Lady Elera!?”

“Yup, that’s right. The brilliant, gorgeous, peerless Lady Elera”

“Lady Elera, you came to save me—argh!”

A bare foot in a thigh-high stocking stomped hard on his face.

Being stepped on by a beautiful girl might be a reward for some, but Elera’s force crushed his nose bridge.

He couldn’t enjoy it.

Rumor within the organization was that the face under her mask was hideously ugly… Urk—!

“How’s the organization doing these days?”

Elera lifted her foot slowly, smiling.

Bull Man wiped the blood from his face, his words slurred.

“It’s… it’s been rough… Oh, right! That woman Xingyue is back. Lady Elera, you’ve gotta take her down for us! Strip her bare, crush her magical girl pride, make the government too scared to touch us!”

Elera’s mood soured.

Sure, he was hyping her up like she could squash Xingyue like an ant.

But in reality, she’d been thoroughly defeated by Xingyue in bed.

That made her even more irritated.

“Cut to the chase. How’s Lord Yue doing?”

“Yue… Yue…? Oh, Lord Yue! She’s the leader now. She’s…”

“That’s enough.”

Bang!

Another blow struck Bull Man’s face, and he collapsed.

“Lady Elera, w-why—!”

“I played along for the act, but that doesn’t mean I’m not settling scores.”

Elera delivered two more vicious kicks, leaving him dazed.

“Act…?”

“Don’t get it?”

Elera removed her mask.

“Now do you?”

When Bull Man saw her face, his body went cold, like a corpse.

“N-no, listen, I can explain, I was just—”

“Oh? Weren’t you all bold, talking about assaulting me in front of a magical girl? Now you’re scurrying like a rat. So cute”

Her playful tone turned cruel in two seconds flat, her killing intent surging.

“You want to assault me? I don’t mind—that’s a compliment to my beauty. But—”

“That stomp you gave me? That’s what sent you straight to hell.”

“I hate being stepped on! Even when I’m flirting with magical girls in bed!”

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The beating lasted over five minutes.

Bull Man was long gone, his head a mangled mess, blood pooling on the ground.

Yet Elera’s pristine foot remained spotless.

“What’s your rank to dare step on me? Trash!”

Elera sneered, a deep blue light flashing.

Bull Man’s body disintegrated into ash.
