Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 123 Cobweb
The sudden attack forced the delphinium to give up its plan to continue the attack.She used her magic power to complete a quick receiving body in the air, driving her body to rotate, and hammered heavily on the spider spear with her glove, thus narrowly dodging the attack from below.

However, this does not mean the crisis is over.The beast in front of her can realize that the magical girl in front of her has been affected by the rules, so naturally there is no reason to stop there.Soon, the beast caught up and tried to chase the delphinium.

In the critical situation, Dengzhan intervened in time and took Delphinium's position. The two magical girls fought and retreated, and finally managed to break the remnant beast's round of offensive.

However, the spider silk on the delphinium's elbow still could not be disposed of.

In the gaps between battles, she repeatedly used her masterpiece to cut the spider silk that entangled her, trying to break free, but it was useless.This kind of spider silk generated by rules is completely unaffected by her magic outfit or magic power.

More importantly, when she saw the spider silk on her arm clearly, she found that the spider silk entangled herself seemed to be the same as the one tied to Maowei and others.This finally made her realize what the spider meant by "experience for herself" before transforming.

The cattail team before had obviously also fought against the spider, and the reason why the whole team lost here was obviously that they failed to overcome the rules of this crippled beast.

Even for herself, when her elbows were entangled by the special spider silk, not only was it difficult to fold and move her arms, but even the operation of magic power here became very sluggish.

"How's the situation?" Seeing Delphinium's serious expression, the lamp on the side couldn't help asking, "Can't you get rid of it?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to think of another way."

The delphinium gave up dealing with the spider silk on its body, and breathed a sigh of relief: "We have to figure out what its rules are, otherwise even the attack will be suppressed."

The spider silk on her arm appeared when she was trying to chase the remnant beast. Although she didn't know if there was a connection between the two, it didn't prevent her from being careful before that.

"But..." The lamp hesitated to speak, and looked up at the spider web in the air during the period.

The delphinium followed the lamp and looked up, only to see that the magic power fluctuations on the spider webs in the sky became weaker and weaker.

Based on the perception of the magic power of the two as magical girls, it is not difficult to find the whereabouts of these magic powers: all of them were sent into the body of the remnant beast along the spider's thread.

Obviously, due to the consumption of the previous battles, the remnant beast has accelerated the rate at which it absorbs magic power.And if it continues at this rate, Maowei and the others will weaken and die before the battle is over.

Delphinium was silent.

It's not that she doesn't have a winning plan in mind, but it's obviously impossible to have both speed and security.

If she wanted to protect herself and the lamp, and the two of them defeated the beast in front of her intact, she was destined not to act impulsively. She had to observe the opponent's rules clearly before looking for an opportunity to attack.

And if he wanted to save Maowei, he would definitely not have time to slowly explore the rules, so he could only adopt a more radical plan.

"Lengzhan, split up and act."

After weighing in her heart, she spoke again: "You go up to save people, and I will deal with this crippled beast down below."

"Eh? No way!"

Dengzhan shook his head quickly when he heard the words: "Senior, you have been affected by its rules. Even if you want to keep someone, it should be me who is in relatively good condition!"

"You were seriously injured just before, how can you get better?"

Delphinium glanced at her: "And you have already lost to it once before, I can't rest assured that you can deal with it alone."

"But..." Dengzhan still wanted to refute, but Delphinium didn't give her a chance to argue.

"Don't waste time."

Stretching out his hand to push away the lamp, Delphinium put on a fighting posture facing the remnant beast that was about to attack again in the air: "If there are no rules that get in the way, I have the confidence to kill it quickly."

After the words fell, the spider silk shot out from the darkness again, Delphinium controlled the magic costume and rushed out, fighting with the remnant beast again.

The blood-red spider silk mixed with purple-black magic power was entangled with the azure blue magic power thread in the nest, and the masterpiece blade composed of magic power collided violently with the exoskeleton of the remnant beast, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a moment.

After all, Dengzhan obeyed Delphinium's command, let go of the unnecessary worries in his heart, and flew towards the spider web in the air.Leaving the delphiniums on the ground engaged in extremely dangerous battles with the beasts.

The irrational beast couldn't understand why the two magical girls were moving separately. In its view, since there was only one magical girl left in front of it, it was undoubtedly a good time to kill each other as soon as possible.

So it ignored the departing lamp, and launched an even more violent attack on the delphinium.

Not long after the battle started, Delphinium's arm, which was originally entangled in spider silk, was completely wrapped, completely losing the ability to use magic power.

This made her have to give up fighting with both hands and switch to a combination of one-handed and magical silk threads, but this also made her fighting style inevitably biased towards defense.

When only one hand can move normally, she must give priority to ensuring the safety of the other hand. If both hands lose the ability to move, the situation will become even worse.

Besides that, her head hurts.

The side effects of the full burst of magic power were becoming more and more serious, and even caused her movements to become uncoordinated several times.The severe pain made her have to grit her teeth to prevent herself from crying out in pain; her body's instincts were persuading her to make a quick decision, but she knew that now was not the time for a quick decision.

And even though the situation was extremely pessimistic, Delphinium remained calm.

Delphinium was still thinking about it amidst a headache that was enough to dazzle her eyes.She carefully observed the behavior of the beast in front of her, and pieced together possible clues in her mind.

She could feel that the beast in front of her seemed to be following a special law of action, which was why she repeatedly asked herself to wait for others to retreat and then regroup. What exactly was this law?
Thinking about everything that happened since seeing the spider, delphinium always felt that the answer was hidden in it.

At the very beginning, I and Dengzhan made a surprise attack on the spider, and I used a magic outfit to attack the spider from behind. This attack should be effective, otherwise the other party would have no reason to endure my interrogation.

This attack should have successfully abolished the spider's normal combat ability. Forbidden magic made him unable to use magic power, so he had to access the guts of the beast to regain strength.

Delphinium began to think differently. If she were a spider, what would she do if she knew that only by transforming into a beast could she turn the tide of the battle?
There is no doubt that he must make a series of arrangements for the next battle of turning into a beast while he still has the sanity of a human being.

The spider was willing to endure the delphinium's interrogation, procrastinating for time, presumably because of this.

So what can he do under the watchful eyes of the delphinium?

This point has already been answered, and that is the white spider beast that completely obeys his command.

A turning point in the spider's fight back is when he lets the white spider sneak up on him from the air, grabbing delphinium's attention and buying him time to transform.Before that, he should be directing what the spider did in the sky.

Over the sky?

When this word appeared in the thought, delphinium suddenly felt a flash of light in his mind.

Because she suddenly remembered what the spider had been doing before starting the fight.

—He is looking at the sky.

What the hell is he looking at?Is it because of what you saw that you feel that the time is ripe?

These two questions made Delphinium look up in the chaos as if she had grasped the thread of the question: all she could see was a spider's web.

In addition, there are lamps that have already approached Maowei and others, who are trying to use magic to strip the cat's tail from the flesh and blood spider web.

She really seems to be on the verge of success.

The spider silk binding Maowei and the others is a product of rules and cannot be easily undone, but the flesh and blood spider web in the air is obviously not.

The lamp only needs to cut off the part where the fleshy spider web and the investigation team are attached to each other, and then they can be removed from the air to prevent them from being continuously drawn.

But delphiniums were apparently not the only ones noticing this behavior.

As the owner of the spider web, Remnant Beast obviously knows the situation of its own spider web better than Delphinium.When the lamp touches the side of the investigation team and is about to launch a rescue, even if it loses most of its intelligence, it still knows what it means.

This means that the prey it has already killed will be stolen.

In his own lair, as the master of this space, the disabled beast would not allow this kind of behavior.

So after a short pause, it abandoned the seemingly tough delphinium in front of it.It neighed angrily, the spider silk shrank, pulled its body and flew high into the sky, trying to stop the lamp's behavior.

The delphinium subconsciously wanted to fly up, but after the magic power erupted, she realized that her feet were stuck to the ground by a mass of spider silk at some point.

She can't chase.

The lamp next to the spider web was also attracted by the neighing of the remnant beast. When he found that the target of the remnant beast had become himself, he began to condense the magic formula, ready to fight with the remnant beast.

But this is absolutely not acceptable, Delphinium is well aware of this.

Lantern in the sky probably won't be the opponent of this crippled beast. Her injuries are still unhealed, and she doesn't have a good grasp of the wonderland. It will not exceed [-]%.

what to do?What can I do to attract the attention of the beast?

The brain was thinking quickly, but still couldn't think of any solution. Seeing that the remnant beast was getting closer and closer to the spider web in the air, delphinium's eyes widened, and finally made a decision.

She has to gamble.

Regarding what the rules of the remnant beast are, and what the spider did before transforming, she already had an answer in her heart, but she couldn't be sure that the answer was correct.

But if she wants to handle this battle as well as possible, she needs to take a gamble.

"Lamp!"

So the delphinium raised its voice and shouted to the lamp in the sky: "Leave the beast alone, attack the spider web on my head with all your strength! All your strength!"

"Eh?"

Deng Zhan, who was about to let go of the technique, was slightly stunned.

She wondered why Delphinium gave such instructions.Because this behavior seems to have nothing to do with the battle situation in front of him.

If Delphinium asked her to ignore the beast and save the investigation team first, or protect the investigation team to fight the beast, then she could understand these orders, but attacking a spider web that had nothing to do with it was beyond her comprehension.

While she was in a daze, the delphinium on the ground had opened its hands, and the masterpiece that had been condensed around her returned to its original appearance, turning into countless silk threads, climbing up the outer wall of the lair .

These magical threads instantly intertwined into another network in the air, stopping the remnant beasts that were rushing into the air and blocking them in midair.

However, this barrier cannot last long.

The remnant beast they are dealing with now is a half-molted beast, which is not the same as the small fish and shrimps of the egg stage and gnat stage in the past. The strength of the magic thread is not enough to restrain the remnant beast at this stage.Therefore, the network woven by the delphinium only lasted for a few seconds before it was torn apart by the impact of the remnant beast.

Delphinium can only constantly control the silk thread to fill in the loopholes, so as to block the actions of the beast.

This behavior bought time for the lantern in the sky, and finally made her realize that the delphinium was not talking nonsense, and that the delphinium really seemed to have something on her mind that she didn't know about.

As a result, the lamp was sure of his spirit, and immediately turned the spell in his hand, and pointed the nail spear at the flesh and blood network not far away.That network corresponds to the area above the delphinium's head.

She carefully controlled the magic power, and poured most of her power into this attack, and a moment later, the spell burst out from her hand.

Hundreds of spikes of magic power flashed across the air, and bombarded the spider web like rain. After a short stalemate between the dark brown magic power and the flesh and blood spider web, the torrent of magic power penetrated the spider web, tearing the spider web apart. The structure is completely destroyed.

The smoke screen of magic power, the shattered flesh and blood, the unknown liquid overflowing due to the fracture, and the punctured spider web instantly blasted a huge hole.

What surprised Dengzhan was that when the spider web was blown apart, the remnant beast in mid-air also wailed miserably.

"squeak--"

Its voice became extremely sharp and high-pitched, as if it had endured some great pain.

Then, the lamp saw that a torrent of surging azure blue magic power erupted from the ground.

A few seconds after the spider web was shattered, the delphinium was killed from the ground into the air.

She was using all her magic power with blue light shining all over her body, and there was an extremely cold killing intent in her eyes.She stretched out a hand, which seemed to be holding something extremely small, and rushed towards the beast.

Those spider threads that were originally wrapped around her body had disappeared at some point.

As it turns out, Delphinium's answer was correct.Because the rules of the spider, probably like its name, its performance is the same, it is a spider web.

When he was attacked by a delphinium in a human state and thus controlled by forbidden magic, he would choose to delay time just to let the white spider weave such a web in the air.

After becoming a disabled beast, its rules are actually very simple - as long as it is covered by spider webs, it will be entangled by spider silk.

It's not direct contact, but envelopment—this means that as long as someone steps on the ground to the area corresponding to the spider web in the air, this person will also be entangled by the spider web.

This is what the delphinium deduced from the strange gait of the beast itself.

It kept giving the delphiniums two opportunities to lure them to go under the spider webs to fight with them, but it kept wandering on the edge of the area covered by the spider webs, never stepping in.

It is also because of this that it is useless for delphinium to attack the spider silk wrapped around itself: after all, these spider silks are essentially the product of rules, it is just the projection of the spiderweb above the head, how can attacking the projection hurt the body?
And when the spider web was pierced, delphinium didn't know why the remnant beast behaved so painfully.

She doesn't need to know either.

Because at this time she has already soared into the sky, the surging torrent of magic power is like a materialized killing intent, representing Delphinium's current mood.

She didn't need to understand the thoughts of a monster or a dying person so clearly.

The delphinium's hand shone with some kind of metallic luster, and in the azure blue light, the self-mutilation beast flashed, and it appeared above the remnant beast.Afterwards, a torrent of magic power gushed wildly from the body of the remnant beast and the magic power network.

In mid-air, the already torn spider web became crumbling, and the originally bright red fleshy spider silk began to turn black and gray. The spider silk lost its source of support and began to shrink rapidly.

Purple-black blood dripped down from the sky, and except for the magic light, the pitch-black nest began to shake inexplicably.

"--squeak!"

Then, accompanied by the miserable howling of the beast, the body of the beast that was blocked by the blue silk thread split apart in an instant.

boom!
It fell towards the ground amidst the exploding blood and uncontrollable magic power, and finally exploded into countless pieces.
