The Magical Girl Who Can’t Transform

As the silver shadow lunged at her, Xia Cheng let out a terrified scream.

But she was, after all, a magical girl who had participated in many battles.

Her body moved instinctively, and she dodged the attack with a quick turn.

Then she saw it clearly.

What had pounced at her was none other than a fist-sized silver spider!

In that instant, the terrifying memories she had selectively forgotten came flooding back like a tidal wave.

Xia Cheng finally remembered just how horrifying this silver spider was!

It was the spider from yesterday!

So she tried to run for her life, even forgetting for a moment that she was a magical girl.

But when she turned to touch the doorknob, she found a pool of silver liquid had suddenly landed on her hand.

She subconsciously looked up and was instantly terrified—the ceiling was covered with a dense swarm of spiders!

No, not just the ceiling, but the entire space.

The spiders’ liquid-like bodies slowly descended, and countless crimson, terrifying gazes were fixed on her!

“What is this… what is this… It hurts!!!”

Xia Cheng was petrified by the scene before her, and a sharp pain in her arm brought her back to reality.

But this reality was far more terrifying than any nightmare—she saw that the liquid that had landed on her forearm had already turned into a spider and was biting into her blood vessel!

“No… don’t!” Xia Cheng screamed, frantically shaking her arm.

But the spider’s bite was too tight to be shaken off.

Then, she felt a series of fine, stinging pains on her thigh and back.

Looking down—a swarm of thumb-sized spiders had already crawled onto her body!

“No… Nannan! Nannan!”

“Chengzi!”

The voice from behind the door was like a gospel, bringing Xia Cheng hope.

The next moment, the heavy restroom door was kicked open from the outside, and a girl in a blue jacket with golden twin-tails appeared against the light!

It was Magical Girl Lilia!

As soon as Lilia opened the door, she felt countless gazes instantly fixated on her.

It was a gaze that instilled extreme fear.

She detected an undisguised hunger and craving for her!

‘It’s the monster from yesterday! Why! Shouldn’t it have been destroyed by that Knight yesterday!’

She was terrified, fear spreading in her heart.

But no matter how scared she was, Lilia still forced herself to grip her wand and unleash a series of sonic magic spells.

‘Because I am a magical girl!’

Lilia’s sonic magic wasn’t actually that powerful, not even a quarter of the power of Ye Huasheng’s magic projectiles.

But this spell had one advantage: it was fast enough and wide enough!

The sonic waves vibrated in the air at a special frequency, quickly sweeping through the entire space.

Instantly, all the spider monsters covering the area were dispersed, including those on Xia Cheng’s body, which were turned into scattered droplets of water.

“Chengzi, let’s go!” Lilia reached out and pulled the wounded Xia Cheng out.

She raised her wand, on guard against the situation in the restroom.

Strangely, the dispersed spiders didn’t pursue them.

Instead, they all uniformly slipped into the drainpipe and disappeared.

Lilia was a little confused, but her attention was quickly drawn to Xia Cheng’s condition.

At this moment, Xia Cheng was trembling like a newborn fawn, her body covered in gruesome bite marks.

Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, her face had become a little pale.

“Chengzi, are you okay?” Lilia quickly cast a few small healing spells.

Although she couldn’t heal instantly like Sister Lin yet, she could at least slow down the deterioration, accelerate recovery, and replenish stamina.

“I’m fine… Nannan… I’m fine…”

Xia Cheng’s voice trembled, but she had calmed down a little.

She looked up at Lilia and said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

“It’s not time for thanks yet. You need to transform quickly. That thing hasn’t gone far. We have to find a way to chase it!”

Seeing that Xia Cheng had recovered a little, Lilia immediately began to be on guard.

Her spiritual senses had not stopped, which meant there was still danger nearby!

“Transform… Where’s Leng Xuan! Have you notified her! We can’t deal with these things!” Xia Cheng gripped her pendant, but instead of transforming immediately, she questioned Lilia.

“There’s no time. My spiritual senses were triggered, and I came right away. She’ll probably be here soon too.”

“But what can we do even if we catch up to it on our own?!”

“What are you talking about!” Lilia looked at Xia Cheng in shock. “This is a school, there are people everywhere. How many people will die if it causes trouble here? We’re the only ones who can stop it!”

“We…” Hearing Lilia’s words, Xia Cheng clenched her pendant, but then she shook her head violently. “No, we can’t win! Let’s meet up with Leng Xuan first!”

“How could you…”

“Aaaah!!!”

Suddenly, a piercing scream came.

Xia Cheng and Lilia quickly looked up and saw a student screaming as they fell from a second-floor window, a huge silver spider crawling on their body!

Then, similar screams echoed throughout the entire teaching building.

Chaos descended on everyone.

They ran for their lives, screaming in despair.

The entire building began to ooze an unsettling silver liquid.

Every drop of liquid quickly transformed into a spider and pounced on everyone!

“Oh no!” Lilia’s face turned anxious. She immediately raised her wand, preparing to go to the rescue.

But the next second, a huge tentacle burst from the ground and wrapped around her!

“What!”

With a flash and a tremor, the solid stone floor was torn apart by a powerful force from below.

A silver spider, about five or six meters tall and gleaming with a silver luster, emerged from the curtain of water and stench of the broken sewer pipe, roaring as it appeared!

Anomaly No. 214!

Although it was much smaller than before, the moment she saw it, Xia Cheng was still overwhelmed by immense fear.

She screamed and fell backward, her dilated pupils reflecting the huge spider’s figure slowly dragging Lilia towards it, its hideous maw drooling a foul-smelling saliva.

Lilia was also in the grip of fear, even more so than Xia Cheng.

Because she could feel this monster’s craving for her.

Unlike yesterday, the overwhelming appetite was clearly visible on its twisted, profane face!

But Lilia was not overwhelmed by fear.

She was still resisting, and then she discovered—it was weaker! Its power was not as great as yesterday!

‘That’s right, the Knight must have weakened it yesterday!’

Lilia firmly believed this and began to struggle with all her might.

Magic power boiled within her, finally gathering at the tip of her wand.

The esoteric magic circle quickly unfolded, and a barrier instantly formed in front of Lilia, repelling the tentacle that was tightly binding her!

The barrier only lasted for two seconds.

Lilia quickly flew away, her face a little paler, clearly a little exhausted.

Because this was a powerful spell that was not something she could use at her current level, and only a spell of this level could free her!

The silver spider, finding that its prey had escaped again, roared in a furious rage.

Countless tentacles instantly formed and lashed out at Lilia.

Lilia used her agile skills to dodge them one by one.

Finally, in an opening, she grabbed the fallen and immobile Xia Cheng and retreated to a relatively safe distance.

“Chengzi! Are you okay!” Lilia stared at the silver spider’s movements while shouting to Xia Cheng.

However, Xia Cheng didn’t answer her, just sat on the ground in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.

“Chengzi! Chengzi!” Lilia noticed Xia Cheng’s abnormal state and called her name several times with force.

Only then did Xia Cheng react.

She stood up, looked at the anxious Lilia, then at the spider not far away, ready to make a move.

She swallowed hard and said, “Okay, I… I’ll transform. Let’s fight together!”

Ever since Xia Cheng had become a magical girl, she had said this to Pan Nannan countless times.

However, this was the time she had the least confidence, without her usual self-assurance and arrogance, only insecurity and panic.

She took out her pendant and clenched it tightly.

The transformation of a magical girl was very fast.

As long as you calmed your heart, touched the Source Blood, and let your heart resonate with the starlight within it, you could obtain that great power.

This process didn’t even take a second.

However, Xia Cheng closed her eyes, and after a full four or five seconds, she still hadn’t transformed.

She even opened her eyes in horror—she found that she suddenly couldn’t transform!

“No, I can’t transform, I… I…”

“Look out!”

Lilia once again grabbed Xia Cheng and pushed her out with all her might.

She herself took a step forward, creating a thick magic shield, and charged at the column of silver water.

Lilia had never let her guard down.

She knew that the Anomaly before her was an extremely cunning existence.

If it stopped its attack, it must be preparing something.

However, despite knowing this, there was nothing she could do, because she was no match for it in a frontal battle.

As expected, the moment Xia Cheng tried to transform, the spider’s mouth suddenly opened wide, its abdomen contracted rapidly, and a huge column of silver water shot towards them!

The column of water came with such force that it was impossible to dodge with speed alone.

She could only face it.

So she pushed Xia Cheng away and used all her magic power to push forward!

The magic shield and the column of water collided, making a piercing sound of metal scraping.

However, the power of this column of water was not great.

The shield could completely block it!

But how was this possible?

Just as Lilia was feeling confused, she suddenly felt her legs begin to itch and ache.

Looking down, they were already covered with a dense swarm of silver spiders!

That wasn’t a column of water, but its split bodies!

“Hiss…!!!”

These spiders were especially small and dense.

They clung to Lilia’s legs as if she were wearing a pair of silver stockings.

But this beautiful pair of stockings was deadly.

The spiders’ sharp fangs pierced her skin, sucking her blood with force.

Lilia gritted her teeth and took a sharp breath, but she didn’t dare to relax, because Xia Cheng was right behind her!

She had to block it!

“Chengzi, run now! Run!”
