: The streamer went to protect everyone's smiles.

Without warning, Mu Ming turned around and walked towards the computer.

"Isn't the break time still going on?" Li Huanhuan asked, puzzled.

"it's over."

While typing, Mu Ming made a statement via microphone:

"A monster has appeared in the city, so I'm ending the broadcast now. See you later if fate allows. Bye-bye."

After saying that, Mu Ming left the live stream without waiting for the audience's reaction.

The screen was left with only the sentence "[The host has gone to protect everyone's smiles]" and a screen full of question marks.

"Multiple outbreaks of calamity beasts have occurred in the south and west of the city, ranging from D to B level. With calamity beasts appearing simultaneously, other districts are likely to be affected as well."

The coverage area of ​​the Muming Crystal Core is currently only a part of the south and west of the city, so it can be sensed.

As he spoke, a black liquid gushed from his body, gradually covering his entire body.

"Come back to the south of the city with me first. Some of the magical girls there have recently been transferred to other places for support, so the defenses are relatively relaxed."

Li Huanhuan's home is near the Bureau of Statistics, so there's no need to worry about attacks from the monsters.

"Oh, oh." She was still a little confused, but when she saw Wu An appear, she immediately transformed.

Although the streets were in chaos, no monstrous beasts appeared.

But since Wu An said that, then a large number of calamity beasts will definitely appear later.

The two flew out of the window and headed straight for the south of the city, their black streaks of light blending into the night.

Yin Xi tried to follow him by teleporting, but each time he teleported, he was pulled a long distance away, and the distance kept getting longer.

An astonishing speed.

Ding-dong-

My phone rang; it was a text message from the Changming City General Affairs Bureau.

【Dear Magical Girl, our bureau has detected a large number of calamity beasts appearing throughout the city. We earnestly request your valuable assistance in helping our bureau eliminate these beasts.】

Even his ability to sense disaster beasts is no less than that of the Bureau of Control...

Yin Xi clearly felt that her power was growing quite fast, but Wu An always managed to bring her surprises.

When we arrived at the south of the city, what we saw was a raging fire. Thick smoke and sparks blew into our nostrils with the wind, and we could vaguely feel the heat in the air on our skin.

The crowd scattered and fled. Just as they crossed the street corner, a monstrous beast crushed the road and pounced. They retreated, with Death roaring and following closely behind.

A few thin, shadowy figures darted through the city, dealing with the monstrous beasts, but they couldn't keep up with the beasts' destructive speed.

The fourth-tier guard responsible for patrolling the southern district of the city was locked in combat with two B-level disaster beasts.

An unbelievable scene: two B-rank disaster beasts, which are usually only seen once every few days, have appeared today, just in the south of the city...

Yin Xi stood atop the building where Wu An was, feeling dizzy.

With so many calamity beasts, you can spot several C-rank beasts with just a glance, while D-rank beasts come in droves. The entire city seems to have entered a chaotic state, making it difficult to know where to begin.

"Give me your hand," Wu An said, extending his black gloves.

"What are you going to do..." Yinxi asked without thinking.

A stinging sensation came from her fingertips, and Yin Xi let out a soft moan as she felt the black magic flowing into her body struggling to spread.

Not again? And at a time like this?

She couldn't help but hold her breath, only to find the black magic lingering at her fingertips, firmly absorbed, unlike last time.

The next second, a stinging pain spread from my fingertips to my head.

"Hiss—" Yinxi let out a mournful cry.

Countless pieces of information were crammed into my head, as if I had gained a god's-eye view, with scarlet dots lighting up in my mind.

The city was in chaos, yet the figure of the calamity beast was so clear.

"How did they manage to do that...?"

With their magical powers, they couldn't possibly sweep through the entire South District—if Yinxi had fully absorbed the "Heart Flower Remnants," she could have done it, but that stuff couldn't be digested in an instant.

Wu An ignored her question and simply asked:

"Spatial abilities should have a way to mark distances, right?"

She has read many comics and novels that use this usage.

"I...I don't know..." Yinxi replied awkwardly. She had only recently acquired her ability and hadn't really developed it yet, only knowing the more basic usage.

Seeing the disdain in Wu An's gaze, Yin Xi actually felt a sense of shame that she was actually a good-for-nothing.

"I'll give it a try..." she said, forcing herself to speak.

Leave a mark... She wasn't sure what mark to leave, but leaving magic would be fine, right?

Thinking this, Yinxi's pupils had turned into rhombuses as she tentatively released her magic.

As the magic swept across, she deliberately controlled it to focus on the nearby calamity beasts, and in her vision, those beasts were shrouded in a faint layer of silver light.

She felt that... with just a thought, she could instantly teleport to the location of that silvery light.

"How strange..."

Yin Xi knew her own level of magic control; she used to fire light cannons every day, so she shouldn't have been able to perform such precise operations.

But today, it felt as smooth as breathing, as if I had done it many times before. My level of magic control has improved without me even realizing it...

"Is it that 'cultivation'? When 'cultivating,' I would carefully manipulate my magic to avoid hurting my body..." She recalled the differences between before and now, but couldn't find any other reason for it.

"Mark the D-level disaster beasts first." Wu An's voice pulled Yin Xi out of her reverie.

The next moment, in Yin Xi's perception, the presence of the D-level disaster beasts was amplified, and the red dots representing them became dazzling.

The C-level calamity beasts completely disappeared.

"Yes."

She quickly responded and released her magic to the maximum extent. Unlike ordinary magical girls, she possessed spatial abilities and did not need to spread her magic everywhere. She only needed to connect one point after another.

She couldn't do it alone, because she didn't know the location of the calamity beasts, but the locations of the calamity beasts were all marked in her mind in real time.

Almost instantly, all the D-level monsters in the southern part of the city were marked.

"The magic power consumption is less than expected..." Yin Xi looked at his hand in surprise. Although his aura had shrunk considerably, he still had two or three tenths of his magic power remaining.

Previously, he rarely came to the point of exhaustion during battles, and his perception of the magic power within his body was rather vague. Now, however, he has a much stronger grasp on the magic power within his body.

Yin Xi was puzzled. She had previously thought that cultivation was useless, but after practicing diligently for a while because of the reward, she seemed to be benefiting from it now.

"What's next?" she asked, tilting her head.

Then Wu An raised her hand, and black threads gathered and intertwined in her palm, eventually forming a ball-shaped sphere, so murky that not a single ray of light could penetrate it.

A thread emerged from it, then a second, a third...

The threads extend in different directions, converging into the crystal cores scattered throughout the south of the city, using them as transit points to further extend outwards.

Then, Yin Xi saw that, starting from their location, the light spots represented by the D-level disaster beasts were constantly going out, and the closer they were, the faster they went out.

【True Form: Weaving a Web of Words】

Wu An didn't learn the [Ultimate Technique: Life-Carving Needle] for a while, but he eventually advanced to the third tier and learned the advanced ability [Weaving the Web of Words] of [Fake Work: Reverse Curve].

I hadn't studied it carefully before, but later I discovered that a large number of "true forms" require "counterfeiting" as a prerequisite ability.

Then, the [True Form] is like a jigsaw puzzle, forming a [Supreme Style] level of ability.

Although there are a few exceptions who do not follow this rule, they are a minority.

【The Web of Words】Although the description says it is mainly used to restrict enemies, the silk threads are, after all, a flexible weapon, and how to use them is naturally unrestricted—as long as they can be controlled well.

One by one, the calamity beasts were invaded by the silk threads. The tangible threads followed the marks to the calamity beasts and pierced straight into the heart of the calamity through the silver marks.

Wu An suddenly tightened the ball of thread in his hand.

The monstrous beast, which had been roaring and lunging at the fleeing citizens, suddenly stopped in mid-air and turned to ash. It vanished into thin air amidst the astonished expressions of the people.

[Accumulated Corrupted Magic Power: 4528 points (D-rank Disaster Beast)]

For a moment, the cries of "Help!!" subsided considerably.

Yin Xi took in everything, feeling surprised, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she felt a little melancholy—every time she felt she was stronger than Wu An, Wu An would suddenly become stronger than her.

Moreover, even though the space was clearly her own ability, Wu An seemed to be more familiar with it than she was.

However, this is better. If they were to deal with those D-level calamity beasts one by one, they would probably exhaust all their magic power just to barely finish, not to mention how much time and life would be wasted.

Rumbling--

Yinxi looked up and saw a dark cloud appear in the originally clear night sky.

Starting from that dark cloud, the spiraling cloud layer covered the entire Changming City in the blink of an eye, with faint thunder rumbling in the air, as if something was moving through the clouds.
