Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

Lifting her hand and touching the Remnant Beast above her head, Mosi continued, "Just as life in this world has never been equal, neither have the Remnant Beasts ever been equal."

The Emerald Sparrow paid no attention to her words.

As soon as she noticed the newly emerged Remnant Beast hovering over Mosi's head, she activated her masterpiece and lunged forward, fiercely swinging her blade at Mosi's neck without a word.

However, the masterpiece that had never failed before melted away before it could touch Mosi.

"Don't you understand? You can't stop it! The ritual was complete from the moment I appeared here!"

A sinister smile crossed Mosi's face along with a hint of triumphant madness, "The Beast Master's power has descended upon me, and now it's time for you to witness the glory of the master."

At that moment, the dark purple pillar of light finally revealed its true form. It was a massive altar on the ground, with countless intricate runes on it as well as various materials infused with strong magic power fluctuations.

With just one glance, the Emerald Sparrow saw the flesh and blood of Remnant Beasts in those heaps of materials mixed with... the Heart's Gem of a Magical Girl.

"By the grace of the master, in thanks to the mighty power of the beast, in the era of survival of the fittest, I will be the ultimate victor!"

Mosi recited aloud as if chanting, then declared loudly:

"This is the time, to eradicate the traitors!"

Boom.

As her words fell, the newborn Remnant Beast above her head subtly thrummed its body, emitting a sound akin to a heartbeat.

Boom.

The light on the altar grew even stronger once more, fully enveloping Mosi and the Remnant Beast in the glow of magic power.

Boom.

—"Roarrrrrrr!"

Unearthly roars emanated from Mosi's mouth, and her human skin began to crack and peel away, exposing the sinewy muscles and blood-streaked bones underneath.

Her entire body turned to ash in the heartbeat-like pulsations, then the ashes swirled out of the brilliance, like a dark nebula.

Huge, yellow-brown plush wings unfurled from within the pillar, adorned with patterns of unspeakable strangeness that induced nausea with just one look.

A ferocious set of white-gray elongated limbs stretched out of the pillar, studded with myriad interlocking spines that instilled terror with a mere wave.

A colossal figure, dozens of meters tall, slowly emerged from the light column, as a pair of enormous compound eyes flashed with dark purple light, looming down upon the Emerald Sparrow on the ground.

The massive moth floated high above the entire Fangting City.

It was the early hours of the morning, and the thunderous noise had awakened those who had already fallen into deep sleep. Many who lived close to the central district got out of bed and couldn't help but open their windows, only to see the gigantic moth in the sky.

"Wow! What is that?"

"A movie? Special effects?"

"That must be a Remnant Beast, right? No, are there really Remnant Beasts that big?"

The just-awakened people did not realize the seriousness of the situation. Indeed, because Fangting City had not seen any Remnant Beasts for years and the troubles of the past few months had been swiftly handled by the new generation of squads, many had almost forgotten what it was like to be attacked by Remnant Beasts.

However, this puzzlement was destined not to last long.

Soon, people realized that in addition to the gigantic moth in the sky, countless Remnant Beasts had started to move within the city.

From ordinary moths to Remnant Beasts several meters tall, from the city center, swarms of Remnant Beasts began to ravage the entire Fangting City.

In an instant, the initial confusion and mockery turned into screams and wails.

The night following the Full Moon Festival, which should have been peaceful and serene, was destroyed in an instant.

Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang, who had been outside the battle, immediately mustered their spirits and began to fight the low-level Remnant Beasts that appeared suddenly. However, for two Magical Girls to quickly clear the overwhelming numbers of Remnant Beasts was an impossible task.

What's more, they had to be distracted to protect Bai Jingxuan, who was unconscious, and Moke, who had no fighting ability and could only defend as they fought and retreated.

"Is that big thing in the sky the old hag transformed?"

Driving away the Remnant Beasts nearby with her silver-white magic power, Lin Xiaolu gritted her teeth, "Damn it! If only I could use my magic armor, I would definitely go up there and thrash her good!"

"You wouldn't win,"

Moke, resting on her shoulder, sighed helplessly, "Your perception is just too poor. You still haven't realized that it has molted?"

"Molted?"

"Yes, molted! It's a level of evolution for the Remnant Beasts! Have you forgotten already?"

"That thing above the cocoon?"

"With only four levels in total, what else could it be?"

Moke patted Lin Xiaolu's shoulder, "You really are an idiot!"

"Huh? You only remember a bit more trivia than me, what are you so proud of?" Enjoy more content from empire

"Trivia? Hmph, do you even know the biggest difference between a molted one and an ordinary Remnant Beast?"

"What is it?"

"..."

"Why have you suddenly become mute? Don't play coy, you fairy simpleton!"

—"The biggest difference is that we have completely mastered our own 'rules'."

An unrecognizable voice suddenly appeared in Lin Xiaolu's mind, causing her brain to throb.

Her eyes widened as she turned to look aside, only to find the gigantic moth was already hovering above her, its sinister compound eyes peering down from on high.
