"Hey, you incompetent piece of shit, why did you fall? Where's the support? We're the fucking team!" I hear one of my allies yell at the other as blood drips down my head.
My name is Hoshikawa Nozomi and the current situation is really very bad for me and my allies, we are a group of 3 magical girls, of course, our group is larger at the magical girl headquarters, but we usually travel in groups of 3.
I feel the blood staining my hair, this is really very bad and I'm scared, I don't want to be raped by a monster.
I'm 18 years old with short black hair and brown eyes, my magical girl outfit looks like those anime ones in shades of gray and black, but with a slight Victorian touch, since I'm short at only 159 centimeters, my outfit accentuates my medium-sized breasts.
Of course, this same beautiful outfit is all torn, dusty, and bloody as I breathe with difficulty and my body trembles with pain and fear.
I had a lot of confidence in my Lunar Mists magic and was sure that facing the current monster would not be difficult.
Lunar Mists - Capable of creating illusions with moonlight or briefly manipulating the mind, confusing the enemy, and obscuring truths.
However, it turns out that my team couldn't handle fighting this monster, my ally Shiranui Kaguya was the first to be defeated and fell to the ground apparently unconscious.
Her blood drips to the ground as my other ally struggles to fight the monster with only my slight support, which is clearly not helping much.
Shiranui is a girl with long light blue hair and light blue eyes, she has small breasts, but is taller than me at 164 centimeters, just like me she is 18 years old and her magic is Phantom Fire / Dream Illusion.
Phantom Fire / Dream Illusion - Manipulates ethereal flames that do not burn the body, but the senses: disorient, cause hallucinations, simulate pain, or disintegrate recent memories for seconds.
So she combines perfectly with my ability, being an excellent support for the team, and her lack here now is making a difference, her fainting has messed everything up and only made the fight more difficult.
Her magical girl outfit resembles a shrine maiden with shades of white and light blue, although it is now all dirty and torn, while I only notice the slight movement of her breathing.
She and I have great affinity since our magics are similar, and finally, there is my other ally who is the most impulsive of the team, like a hurricane, and can't help but insult the others.
Arakaze Fuuka, she has long slightly messy gray hair that somehow matches her black eyes, she is also 18 years old like me and Shiranui.
Currently, she is the one who gives the most trouble to the monster, although she is clearly irritated and slowly being pressured and losing more and more room to retaliate and attack, becoming more defensive.
She is 169 centimeters tall, which makes her relatively short magical girl dress stand out since it is a short sleeveless dress good for quick movements, matching her magic.
Blades of the Gale - Able to solidify the wind into weapon forms, cutting gusts or whirling fields.
She can also use the wind to propel herself in the air as if she had a kind of double jump and also become faster.
Basically, our team works with me and Arakaze attacking together while Shiranui provides support, my weapon is a long staff, Arakaze's weapons are twin daggers, and Shiranui's weapon is a priestess's staff.
Our magics fit together quite well, me and Shiranui together reduce the enemy's power and the impulsive Arakaze defeats them, we are not very close to each other, we are only on a team because being alone is dangerous.
We are "friends" out of utility since our magics fit together well, but it happens that this monster has the power to influence dreams and nightmares, and this grants it slight immunity to magics of my type and Shiranui's type.
This made the team's utility drastically reduced, making Shiranui a burden that helped very little and me just a slight attack support to help Arakaze.
I see the appearance of the monster, it looks like a human in a suit, but from the neck up to its head is a giant eye with several smaller eyes connected to the large eye.
It is strangely strong, fast, and resilient, even though it seems to have an obvious weakness, this mass of eyes makes surprise attacks impossible and its magic affects us negatively.
I feel tired and my consciousness seems to waver, we know it's the monster's magic, it's trying to make us sleep, Shiranui is probably having some kind of nightmare, because in addition to the moans of pain, she mutters strange things.
'This miserable creature...' I can't believe we're losing so badly, our formation has never been defeated before, why did we have to run into such a bad enemy to fight?
"ARAKAZE, WATCH OUT!" I see Arakaze not noticing an attack while defending against another, she is struck in the ribs, spitting blood almost instantly.
When she falls to the ground and tries to get up, the monster kicks her ribs, it continues kicking while I watch in horror, monsters are usually not merciful with combatants.
This is because combatants usually tend to resist rape or anything they do, and of course, the magic and weapon of each one reflects a lot of the personality, so the monster easily knows who is the support and who is the attack.
As Arakaze has twin daggers and moves quickly, as well as uses wind magic to attack, the monster focuses more on her because she is the combatant, and me and Shiranui are not very useful.
I try to move, but it's so hard, that I can barely stay awake as the monster steps on and kicks the unconscious Arakaze, the monster turns to me, the only one still conscious.
'Damn, damn, damn, this isn't fair' This monster isn't even taking me seriously, but I think I can escape if I abandon the other two.
Monsters don't let go of a prey they've already obtained to go after an uncertain prey, so if I try to escape and manage to get away, the monster will give up on me and just stay with the other two.
I try to move, but it's difficult, my whole body feels heavy and my vision is so heavy, that keeping my eyelids open seems almost impossible.
'Damn... I should have run away sooner...' I can't escape, so I point the staff at the monster, I'll at least hit those horrible eyes.
PSSSSHHHH Bang
"GYYAARARRRYYAYYRA" The monster lets out a shrill sound, a mockery of a disgusting scream that seems to scratch my eardrums, it seems to be a cry of pure pain as I look incredulously.
PSSSSSSSSHHHHH Bang
"GGYYYAAHHGHHRRRR" The monster screams as it falls to its knees on the ground, I notice a small sound, it's as if something super fast is cutting the air, but it's so silent that I only hear the sound in the air and a thud on the ground that has a slight hole that emits smoke.
I look at the monster, there are two very large holes in the joints of both knees, but instead of blood, some scary black liquid is leaking out.
PSSSSHHHHHH Bang
PSSSSHHHH Bang
"GYYYAYAHAHHAGRR" The monster lets out a distorted and strange scream, probably because the monster has no mouth, I see that two more holes have appeared in the elbow joints.
Again, instead of the red blood that would come out of this monster, all that comes out is a black goo that puts the monster in agony, I also notice a hole in the wall behind me, so using the little strength I have, I move to hide behind the first thing I can find.
I know this monster's blood is not black, since Arakaze managed to make a small wound and we saw that the blood is red, so this strange black goo is what gives me a terrible feeling, it comes from the attacks.
I notice that the floor and the wall that now have holes are also dripping this black goo, confirming that it comes from the attacks, more of these blows happen in sequence.
All aimed at places like arms, legs and the abdomen, but without targeting vital organs, it's obvious that whoever is attacking could have killed the monster.
But no, whoever is attacking is clearly trying to cause pain to the monster, which screams and writhes in agony, trying to crawl across the floor, my body trembles with fear at the terrifying sight.
As the attacks continue, blow after blow is landed on the monster, not even one aimed at the head, which would kill the monster instantly.
The monster can't even move any limb because of the destroyed joints, it just tries to crawl with sounds of pure agony, while this black viscous mass seems to corrode the monster's wounds.
I remain silent, hidden, I don't have the strength to move or escape, I just watch.
And after a very agonizing 10 minutes, the person who tortured the monster decided to end it by shooting it in the head several times, the monster only endured 10 minutes of torment because all the shots were aimed at just causing damage and pain, not killing.
I don't move, I just stay in my makeshift hiding place, too scared to come out or try anything, Arakaze and Shiranui should be awake to see this.
It could perhaps be a magical girl who killed the monster, but her cruelty is chilling, the person who tortured this monster can be as malicious and evil as the monsters themselves.
I decided to stay silent and not tell anyone, that the body would disappear, no one would believe me, after all, so many blows would normally kill a monster of this type.
No one would believe that someone was deliberately prolonging the monster's death as much as possible before finally finishing it off, I can only say that either that person is very sadistic or hates monsters very much.
So I'll stay silent, I'll just say that the monster was killed by a single attack from some magical girl I didn't see, who then left immediately.
