The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 658 The Chaotic Scene Essential for Illusory Dreams

The earth trembled and shook.

The hyacinth huddled in a dark corner among the ruins, listening to the heavy footsteps of the giant monster on the main road. Peeking out to observe the enormous figure walking on the asphalt, it couldn't help but purse its lips and mutter to itself:

"What is this thing...? Could this be a new type of Domain Monster that has invaded the mental world...?"

"Judging from the magical fluctuations, it does resemble one, but its magical strength is a bit too low," Cheshire Rabbit chimed in. "Rather than calling it a monster, it's more like some kind of 'familiar'."

Upon hearing this word, Hyacinth's already cautious expression became even more serious.

I am no stranger to the term "familiar". When I faced Garuda and Jormungandr, these two astral behemoths, I witnessed their ability to summon many lesser monsters. I have never seen this power on other monster witches. It seems that this power is unique to behemoths.

After absorbing the residual magic of Garuda in the mortal world, could it be that the monsters have also begun to possess some characteristics similar to the astral behemoths? This is not a good sign.

But as she thought about it, Hyacinth began to associate the ability to "summon familiars" with Kokoro... So how exactly should Kokoro be calculated?

She possesses unique summoning magic; with a wave of her wand, she can summon a powerful army of monsters or a group of witches. Could those witch familiars she summons be considered a kind of familiar? A somewhat inexplicable thought popped into Hyacinth's mind.

No, no, the witches under Heartmoon Fox's command are far more powerful than so-called familiars. I have personally witnessed the Twelve Zodiac Witches tear through Jormungandr's final defenses head-on. They are much stronger than those weak familiars who crumble at the slightest touch.

Furthermore, he had never actually seen a giant familiar like the monster on the street outside. If such a large monster was a familiar, how big would the monster's main body be? It would have to be at least the size of the giant snake that Jormungandr had coiled up over the entire port city... It was really hard to imagine.

The two watched as the monster passed by the building where it was hiding, then stepped over a pile of collapsed ruins and walked toward the end of the road ahead, as the tremors of the earth gradually subsided.

"Phew...it doesn't seem to have noticed us..."

Hyacinth let out a long breath and whispered in a low voice.

The oppressive feeling emanating from the enormous monster was unparalleled. Even though it had left, Hyacinth was still filled with lingering fear, afraid that her mutterings might be overheard by the monster, which was still not far away.

But honestly, the rumbling noise this big guy made when it walked was much louder than my own voice. Logically, it shouldn't have been able to hear me talking to myself. I guess I was just overthinking things.

"Boom!"

Sudden.

The monster stopped abruptly without warning. Hyacinth's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly covered her mouth, shrinking back into the shadows to hide. She muttered to herself, "What? I can really hear that?" Yet, she couldn't help but peek through the crack at the monster's back as it halted on the street.

With its back to the buildings on its side, it looked across a garden square at the abandoned shopping mall covered in vines across the street—on the mall's rooftop, several graceful figures stood prominently bathed in sunlight.

"You've finally shown up again! Monster Number 10!"

The orange-clad girl leading the group shouted loudly, raised her wand, and struck a classic opening pose, making Hyacinth recognize her at a glance:

Magical girl Aki and her team of four stood together on the roof of the mall, facing the giant monster on the street. They looked serious and heroic, clearly not like someone who had been trapped in the mental world for several days.

"Huh? Is that Aki-senpai? Cheshire Rabbit, can you see over there?"

Hyacinth couldn't help but speak to Rabbit, who was also peeking out from beside her, wanting to confirm from her perspective that she wasn't hallucinating.

The pink-haired bunny girl nodded.

"I can see it. Are Qiugui and the others planning to fight this monster? What's the point of doing that...?" Now it was Cheshire Rabbit's turn to be confused.

In addition, Qiu Gui's scripted-sounding words about "Monster No. 10" gave her the illusion of having wandered into a monster movie set... This unnatural feeling made her realize the subtle confusion and immediately connect it with her dreamlike mental imagery.

In the chaotic world of mental images, anything abnormal could be a distorted part of this dreamlike mental image. Perhaps Qiu Gui and the others have already sensed this unnatural distortion, which is why they are using the unique feature of this mental image—

Before her thoughts had even reached a crucial point, just as Cheshire Rabbit was about to bury herself in thought in order to find the key, Hyacinth suddenly jumped up and quickly called to Rabbit Girl to look into the distance.

"Oh! Look! Look over there!!"

Hyacinth's startled commotion slightly annoyed Cheshire Rabbit, but his thoughts had already been disrupted by the shout, so he could only follow her gaze into the distance, thinking to himself, "You better really saw something big, or you'll be in for a surprise."

But when the rabbit girl looked at her with her battle-hardened gaze, the same shocked expression on her face as Hyacinth's immediately appeared. This was because Qiu Gui's lines had caught her completely off guard:

"We'll definitely defeat you here today! Come on, guys, let's super combine!"

...What combination?

Cheshire Rabbit thought he must have misheard the lines, so he quickly drooped his perky ears and gently rubbed them a few times. But the scene before them left them speechless:

Qiu Gui and her three companions leaped from the high-rise building. Amidst a blinding flash of magical energy, several enormous... gigantic machines suddenly appeared in the sky.

The machines transformed in mid-air, and light, whether from electricity or magic, connected at their joints, linking the various body parts into a single unit. They then combined and transformed into a gigantic combined mecha the same size as the monster!

"Boom!!!!"

The giant robot launched a flying kick, the shockwave exploding in all directions. Hyacinth and Cheshire Rabbit felt a powerful shockwave coming towards them, and quickly unleashed their magic to stabilize their bodies, thus avoiding being knocked away by the impact.

The giant monster was kicked a long way by the robot, crashing into two buildings and falling to the ground with a deafening roar.

But Hyacinth no longer had time to pay attention to the giant monster that had been kicked away in mid-air; her gaze and attention were entirely focused on the enormous "super robot" wielding a heavy greatsword in the square.

The orange torso and head, the dark green left arm, the purple and white right arm, and the light green, sturdy legs appear to be assembled from four different parts.

"Come on, everyone! Today is our final battle against Monster 10!"

"Okay!!"

Qiu Gui's voice came through the loudspeaker on the giant robot, along with the shouts of the remaining team members.

At the same time, the giant monster known as Monster 10 rose from the ruins, shook off the countless fragments of dust, and roared defiantly at the giant robot that had merged into one.

Cheshire Rabbit fell silent, and Hyacinth couldn't help but fall silent as well.

...What is this?
