Chapter 58: Magical Girl Hierarchy, The Magical Princess

Clearing his thoughts, Linsley shifted his tone, becoming more serious. "But on a serious note, have you thought about stopping? I mean, being a magical girl... it's dangerous, and with everything that's happening, you need to ensure your safety."

Seraphina shook her head resolutely, her expression hardening. "No. I can't stop now. I've already come too far into this, Linsley. There are other magical girls protecting this city, but they've sacrificed so much—some of them have even given their lives to protect me and help me escape."

"Others... well, they weren't so lucky. Some were defiled by the Outer God lackeys before they died."

Linsley's gaze softened as he listened to her.

Seraphina continued, her voice unwavering. "I'm one of the few magical girls left in this city. If I don't stand with the resistance, then this place will completely fall into the hands of the Outer God Association."

She sighed heavily before adding, "It might seem like the resistance isn't making much of a difference since the Outer God Association still bullies the Outer God slaves on the surface."

"But the truth is, without the resistance, things would be so much worse. The Outer God lackeys would run rampant without any opposition. It would be hell on earth."

Seraphina paused, collecting her thoughts before adding, "Even in the resistance, there's a hierarchy. I'm not at the top—I'm only at the second most bottom in terms of power and status."

Seraphina continued her explanation, her voice a little steadier now as she delved into the details of the magical girl hierarchy.

"There are five phases of being a Magical Girl," she began. "The first phase is the initial awakening of magical powers. This is when we can first transform, but we don't have a magical girl mascot to guide us. We're kind of fumbling around, learning things on our own."

She paused for a moment, collecting her thoughts. "The second phase comes when a magical girl further develops her power and finally awakens a magical girl mascot. The mascot helps guide us, and it can fuse with our magical wands to enhance our abilities."

"The Outer God Association makes this information public," Seraphina added. "You've probably heard of the Crimson Princess, right? She's one of the magical girls who made it to the fourth phase. She bears the Crown of Crimson, which gives her control over fire."

Linsley remembered hearing about the Crimson Princess. "Yeah, I've heard of her."

Seraphina's expression soured as she thought of the Crimson Princess. "That bitch... She's not righteous, doesn't care about justice. She's just a woman who got lucky enough to awaken with strong magical power. She doesn't care about casualties, burns her enemies and allies alike. The world praises her, but they don't see the damage she causes."

Linsley could sense Seraphina's disdain. It was clear she had a personal grudge against the Crimson Princess.

"She's just reckless," Seraphina continued, her voice dripping with frustration. "She doesn't care who gets caught in the crossfire, and people like her make things worse for the rest of us."

Seraphina's frustration simmered as she spoke about the magical girl hierarchy in their city.

"This city only has one third-phase magical girl," she explained, her voice tinged with both pride and concern.

"But even she just recently reached that phase. There's no magical princess here, and because of that, the outer god lackeys in this city aren't as strong as the ones in the major cities."

She paused, then added, "We're in a smaller, less important city compared to the major ones. The real powerhouses—on both sides—are in the bigger cities and countries. So we don't have to worry too much about stronger outer god lackeys showing up here."

Linsley's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened. 'That doesn't seem right,' he thought, recalling the outer god lackey leader he had fought earlier.

'That guy had to be at least on the level of a third-phase magical girl, maybe even close to the fourth phase considering how many tentacles he summoned.'
