"W-What is this thing?!"
Meiling screamed as she looked at the pitch-black creatures in front of her, which looked like black slimes with tentacles. Syaoran hurriedly raised his sword and talisman paper, watching the demon creatures before him cautiously.
"Be careful, these are shadow creatures. They're not too strong individually, but there are so many of them, making them difficult to deal with!"
Illya and Little Hei arrived by the duo's side, providing protection, and Illya casually explained to Syaoran and Meiling. Hearing Illya's explanation, Meiling was dumbfounded.
"But how come this wasn't happening before when Syaoran was capturing the Clow Cards?"
"Because these are attracted to magical girls, and you're not a magical girl."
Little Hei pouted, glancing at Meiling.
"Alright, stay back and don't get in the way."
"Who says I'm in the way? I can fight too!"
"Meiling, don't throw a tantrum at a time like this!"
