Chapter 243 – Manipulation (2)

“Ahahaha! What, is it easy?”
“Siena! Do it at the tip of the window!”
“Ahh… It’s good because it’s strong, but the plosive sound is a bit… !”
“My sword is too hot…”

Louie and Arna burst out laughing with excitement, while Sienna and Rosé uttered dissatisfied voices as they worked together.
Louis and Arna burned and exploded the toenails that poured incessantly one by one, messing up the moles’ arms.
In the end, the moment the mole lost all of its hands and tried to run away, Rose jumped out of the ice wall and ran at the mole.

“… Murder.”

Clawed at the fleeing mole’s back, Rose clung to it and slammed the dagger into the back of her neck with a cold voice.
Then, like the claws on the tip of a dagger, the blade of magical power extends long and pierces the neck, and cuts the neck by crossing it like when using Langa.
I shoveled a potato chip into my mouth as I watched the giant mole’s head bouncing in the air.

I hypnotized all four of them so that when I was on the subway, their attacks would miss because they were paying attention to me, but the hypnosis didn’t seem to work very well because the giant mole was so big.
I sparingly use the mana I filled up by ejaculation.
Hypnosis, which uses magic in a big, scary way, rather increases the power of one magic shot, and only inflicts a big blow on the mole.

… Magical girls are stronger than I thought.
I don’t think it was this strong, but it has become quite strong.
Especially Arna… It seems that she is gradually no longer a middle-ranking magical girl.

“Joy.”

It doesn’t use powerful magic at random like before, and it doesn’t seem to focus only on long-distance magic.
In both hands, he holds lightning bolts like small needles like darts, and whenever he sees a gap, he inserts one into the mole’s body and explodes it.
If it slows down its attack or even hesitates to escape, it sends electricity through the mole’s body by stabbing its hair on a sharp point.

Concentrating her explosive reaction speed and movement speed on her body movements, Arna gradually moved her hands faster and started playing with two giant moles at once.
With the addition of nerve-burning lightning magic to her magical power distribution and melee ability, which is completely different from her previous one, Arna is getting faster and the enemy is getting slower.
That’s enough… Depending on the opponent, you may be able to show your skills at a higher level.

Even if the opponent is bad, it’s too bad…
The giant mole was quick to move her hands and strong claws, but her hairy body looked weak.
The tentacles on the tip of her nose seemed to be used only for eating or sensing rather than attacking means, so she couldn’t show a proper attack, and the only attacks that looked good were her two arms.

Still, the power and speed of her attacks aren’t bad enough that a middle-ranking magical girl has to work hard to block them… Her intelligence is too low.
If I were those moles, at least one would have gone to the floor and aimed at the bottom of the square.
I don’t know why magical girls can’t think of attacking in an unprotected place when they have such good ability to dig tunnels.

“Oh?!”
“What?!”
“Uh?”

But at that moment, the ground suddenly moved and her sharp claws protruded from right under Louis.
The sight of her thorns rising from the ground caused Louis to explode her shield, moving her body slightly backwards, her mole’s claws narrowly deflecting.
Louie hurriedly shouted as her mole immediately pulled her claws back into the ground and hid.

“This child… Come out below! Be careful!”

Immediately, Arna fired her lightning bolt at the hole through which her claws had exited.
Quarreureung! Along with the sound, the electricity on the instrument panel of the vehicle turned off for a while and then turned on again.
Immediately after digging another tunnel, a mole crawled out from under the ground.

Contrary to my thoughts, attacking from the ground didn’t seem to work that well.
More than that, to withstand being hit by Arna’s lightning… Didn’t electricity flow because it was underground?
Because of its large size, it is also quite tough.

Then… It would be nice if not only the giant mole, but all the other infectious agents would gather together and fight together…
The giant mole takes the attack, and if the other guys bother and attack, it seems that they can easily win.
We need more infectants to defeat those four magical girls now…

If we gathered closer, I think it would be okay to fight now…
No, rather, there is a chance of victory only if you fight now, when the giant moles greet you and consume your mana.
The four of us work so well together that we can never win if we fight individually.

“Huh… ?”

The moment I thought so, something fell and stuck to the cab window.
Slimy mucous membranes, long tentacles… This… I know what
It’s a tentacle snake…

It’s hard to see this on the subway anymore… Why are you here?
I waved my left hand at the tentacle snake that was blocking my view and told me to go away.
Then the tentacle snake jumped out of the window in a fright as if it had been hit by something.

“Uh… ?”

As soon as the tentacle snake drops, something rains down from the ceiling.
The hidden tentacle snakes fall at once and cling to the subway windows, then jump up and fall.
The sudden heavy rain of tentacle snakes gradually moved away from the subway and began to fall on the heads of the magical girls.

“What, what?! Snake?!”
“Why is this here… ?”

When Louie and Rosé discovered the tentacle snakes and let out a surprised voice, Arna burned the tentacle snakes that fell on the ice wall and killed them at once.
More tentacle snakes fall on top of it, and a mole that has lost one arm repeatedly breaks the ice with its claws.
A tentacle snake entered through the broken ice and climbed up Louis’ leg.

“Hah?!”
“Tsk!”

Arna grabbed her tentacle snake with her bare hands, ripped it off Louie’s leg, and burned to death any that tried to cling to her hand.
Before the tentacle snake completely blocked the area around the ice wall, Rose hurled herself through the ice wall and came out.
Rosé, who jumped up from the ice wall and stood upside down on the ceiling, kicked off the ceiling and tried to aim for the giant mole’s neck, but then hung upside down in the air.

“Oh?!”

Rosé’s ankles were wrapped in countless long, thin tentacles hanging from the ceiling.
That’s the guy I watched until I got tired of it when I was a trainee.
Curtain, an infectious agent created by infection of a special vine stem.

Hanging like vines from trees, these creatures are made up of dark tentacles, and when they find their prey, they use the thin but strong tentacles to capture and dangle them to eat.
Its diet consists mainly of the mucosal absorption of its prey, and for some reason it is a peculiar infection that does not react at all to men.
Because of this, the Defense Force sometimes leaves it alone without hunting it unless it is a special occasion, so if you look closely at the trees around the forest near the Defense Force, you can sometimes spot it.

Obviously, this guy lives in the trees or the jungle.
It’s a little strange that such a guy is here right now.
Did these guys gather because there was no infection nearby… ?”

By the way… Curtains, tentacles, and giant moles… If the mole defends and attacks, the tentacle snake catches the gap and attacks, and the curtain defends the mole so that it cannot deal a fatal blow.
It seems good, but the connection is a little lacking.
Something… I wish I had at least one more…

Wouldn’t it be worth fighting for at least one strong negative with high aggression?
Otherwise, we need something to hinder the movement of the magical girls, just like Arna interferes with Negative’s movement…

“Oh… ?”

As I thought so, something fluttered and glittered outside the window.
Things that seemed to have been sitting between the curtains and then moving around or were hiding fill the subway at once.
The fluttering and silent flying creatures landed on the subway windows with their bodies glowing.

This… A fluorescent butterfly
It is an infestation that can sometimes be seen in the deep forest at night. It is an insect-type infestation the size of two palms put together.
Fluorescent butterflies have luminescent wings and hallucinogenic powder that falls from the wings to attract people and drag them to the place where the group is located.

When a blank-eyed person blends in with the crowd, they sit down on the person, smear the hardened mucus powder on their feet, and start eating.
For men, it inserts its long tongue and sucks semen as if sucking honey, and for women, it sucks the love juice from deep inside.
He’s not very aggressive, so it’s easy to hunt, but… When so many people gather in a small space… I have no choice but to get hit by the hallucinogenic powder.

This too… It is not an infectious agent that can be seen on the subway.
At least, the place where these guys come out of City A is in the forest of District 17… It is a corner of City A, quite far from District 7.
Did you even fly from there to here… ?

“Uh? What, what… This?!”
“Rosé! Please handle it! You don’t work!”
“Yes yes!!”

Sienna, Louie, and Rose found the butterflies and exclaimed urgently in surprise.
Seeing that, Arna immediately sprayed her lightning into the air.
However, the lightning that was trying to hit the butterflies was blocked by a giant mole that suddenly threw its body.

“These children… !”

Tentacle snakes crawl on the floor to annoy them, and when they show a gap, they climb right up and smear their secret juice.
Fluorescent butterflies flicker and confuse the eyes, scattering hallucinogenic powder in the air.
If you try to attack these two infected and small monsters, a giant mole with broken arms will risk its life to stop it.

The movement of the infested bodies, which anyone could see linking up, sent electricity to the ground in Arna’s annoyance.
Numerous tentacle snakes that had fallen on the floor burned all at once.
Feeling uncomfortable with the movement of the infected, I touched the corner of my mouth.

It was a mess just a moment ago… So suddenly their movements change and they connect with each other…
There is only one thing that can do this.
Near… There must be someone giving orders to the infected.
