Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 139 Under the Pillar of Light
In the center of Fangting City, under the purple-black light curtain, the battle of the magical girls has been going on for a long time and has entered a fierce stage.

A huge, cocoon-like meat ball was suspended in the light curtain, and a huge remnant animal head protruded from the top of the meat ball, continuously spewing purple-black magic breath towards the surrounding ground.

This kind of magic is extremely corrosive, so much so that it will corrode the surface of the building if it touches it. The downtown blocks have become a mess, and there is no trace of the prosperity of the past.

The only good thing is that on the night of the full moon festival, there were not too many people gathered in the downtown business district. A very small number of people chose to flee after feeling bad, and not many people on the scene were affected.

Above the scorched-earth neighborhood, light blue, hibiscus, and light green magic powers were entangled with the crippled beast.

"Xiaolu, this crippled beast is not at the same level as the previous opponents at all. It is an enemy you have never encountered before. Its evolution level should have reached the pupa stage!"

Lying on Lin Xiaolu's shoulder, Mo Ke raised his voice against the wind pressure and said:
"The chrysalis stage is different from the ordinary beasts we usually encounter. Their body surface has a structure called a chrysalis shell. If the magic power output cannot exceed its upper limit, it will never be possible to cause damage to it! "

"You still know the knowledge of remnant beasts?" Lin Xiaolu narrowly passed a streak of purple-black magic power, but there was no expression of nervousness on her face.

"Now question this in turn?" Mo Ke raised his voice.

"No, how should I put it, I just feel... a little surprised?"

"Now is not the time to talk about these things! If this continues, even if all your magic power is exhausted, there is no way to hurt it!"

"Okay, I know, I know!"

While flying at high speed in the air, Lin Xiaolu responded loudly: "Anyway, it would be right to explode the shell on its surface, right? Just like that annoying uncle I met in the orphanage!"

"This guy is much better than that savage thug!" Morco corrected.

"Whatever it is, we are not what we used to be now! We have carefully considered the relevant plans!"

Lin Xiaolu raised her hand and gestured to Xia Liang: "Xia Liang!"

"I know!"

Following Lin Xiaolu's call and Xia Liang's response, several mirrors shone with brilliance, rotating and moving to surround the remnant beast in the center, and magic power of different colors converged on the mirror from the hands of the three magical girls. , focused on the head of the beast.

"Bai Jingxuan!"

"Ok!"

The magical girl with a green single ponytail opened her hands, and the small box she had been holding in her hand suddenly opened, and the light and agile music sounded, making the already strong magic flow that was transmitted to the mirror suddenly become even stronger. surging.

This is Bai Jingxuan's magic costume, and its name is Tianyin.

Its ability is to play different music through the resonance control of magic power, and according to the rhythm of the music, the similarities and differences of elements such as melody and timbre, it will have different effects on the surrounding things.

Because the time for awakening and development is still short, Bai Jingxuan only developed two usages of it: activating limbs and activating magic power.

The former can speed up the self-healing and recovery ability of the body, and can also consume a certain amount of energy to improve a person's athletic ability; the latter, just like what she is doing now, uses the most unmodified way to drive the magic costume to play music, which can Activate the magic to become more active and restless.

It was also because of this that she was able to make the magic power that was originally gathered at the mirror of Xia Liang's magic costume more violent.

A week ago, under the joint guidance of Hong Si and Xia Liang, Bai Jingxuan completed the flowering of bud-level abilities and obtained her own magic outfit.

At that time, she hadn't figured out the ability of her magic costume, and secondly, she didn't master the method of using it, so she kept a little thought, put this matter aside, and didn't tell delphinium.

According to her original idea, she actually wanted to wait for the delphinium to come back and tell the matter in person, to surprise the delphinium and at the same time let the other party praise herself.

The others also guessed Bai Jingxuan's careful thought, so they deliberately did not expose it, and coincidentally did not mention this matter to Delphinium.

However, no one thought that before Delphinium came back, the ability of this magical outfit would be used first on the battlefield.

The turbulent magic beam was stimulated from the surface of Xia Liang's magic outfit. The light blue, hibiscus, and light green magic power gathered together and bombarded the remnant beast in the distance.

The torrent of magic power arrived instantly, concentrated at one point, and exploded at the head of the remnant beast.At first, on the surface of the remnant beast's body, there was some kind of skin-like structure that was wrinkled, blocking the impact of magic power.But soon, this structure was broken under the joint attack of the three, and then suddenly cracked into a huge gap.

The three-color magic beam passed through the gap in its skin, and hit the head of the remnant beast firmly.

"Ooooooooooooooo!"

An ear-splitting cry sounded over the city center, and the painful beast writhed its cocooned body and let out a cry of unknown meaning.Then, it accelerated its attack frequency, and once again spit out a corrosive magic breath at the magical girls.

The three newcomer magical girls, or the three new generation magical girls, had already made preparations and dodged the moment the remnant beast breathed out, and the remnant beast's attack had no effect.

"Success!"

Seeing that the effect of this attack reached or even exceeded his imagination, Xia Liang couldn't help but clenched his fists and cheered softly.

"The pupa stage is nothing more than that!"

Lin Xiaolu retreated to her side, with a proud face: "As long as you can break through the defense the first time, you will definitely be able to break through the second time. There is absolutely no problem in killing this big guy!"

"It has nothing to do with you, does it?"

Mo Ke, who was lying on her shoulder, couldn't help but poured cold water on her: "It's obvious that the magic outfits of the other two are working, so why is there a class talking nonsense here?"

"Huh? Even a goblin who can't even keep up with the flying speed and can only lie on others is qualified to say me?"

Lin Xiaolu glared at it angrily: "The progress of the ability development doesn't explain everything, okay? My magic power has not stopped growing in the past few months, and it is definitely much stronger than the average level now!"

"That's still a class..."

Mo Ke muttered in a low voice, but did not refute Lin Xiaolu's statement.

Because what Lin Xiaolu said was the truth.In the past few months, although she has never touched the limit of her abilities, the growth of her magic power has never stopped.

At the very beginning, her magic power was not much different from that of ordinary species, but with her growth since then, especially after the first battle in the orphanage, she has now reached a level far exceeding that of species.

If it weren't for Lin Xiaolu not being able to complete Kaihua and obtain her own magic outfit, no one would think that she is just a caste.

"You two, stop bickering at this time."

Xia Liang smiled helplessly at the side, and mobilized his magic outfit again: "Now concentrate on knocking down this big guy, shall we?"

"……makes sense."

Lin Xiaolu, who originally wanted to quarrel with Mo Ke, suddenly stopped arguing, looked at the remnant beast not far away, who was getting more and more manic, and clenched her wand again: "The battle has not been won yet, and it is too late to celebrate now. It's a little too early."

Bai Jingxuan on the side didn't interrupt, but silently released the magic power and played the music of the music box.

This is where the fight starts again.

Compared with low-level remnant beasts, the biggest advantage of pupa-level remnant beasts is that they have their own lairs and pupae shells with natural high defense power.

And right now, this pupa appeared alone in the center of the city for some reason, and there was no room for its own nest around it.This also means that there are no eggs and gnats around for it to command and drive, and its combat capability is weak.

When the magical girls found a way to crack the defense of the crippled beast, it was equivalent to finding the key to defeat it, which was enough to resolve all the advantages of the crippled beast at the evolutionary level.As a result, the battle inevitably became one-sided.

With Xia Liang as the leader, Bai Jingxuan provided the boost, and Lin Xiaolu provided the magic power. The three of them worked together to shoot out one after another magic power beam through the transformation of the magic outfit—such a powerful impact could no longer be called a magic power beam. It would be more appropriate to call it shelling.

The continuous bombardment made the pupa in the air retreat steadily, wailing and neighing continuously, with more and more wounds on its body, and its movements became weaker and weaker.

Obviously, it couldn't last much longer.

"Moco! Take my phone!"

After finishing another shelling, Lin Xiaolu took out her mobile phone from the pocket of her apron, and handed it to Mo Ke: "When we get rid of this big guy, remember to take a picture for Delphinium !"

"...Are you too excited?"

Mo Ke took the phone with some helplessness: "Treat the battle so frivolously, be careful to show the photo to the patrol envoy and you will be criticized later."

"Delphinium wouldn't be like that." Lin Xiaolu was noncommittal.

"I think it's better to tell the younger senior the ins and outs of the matter later, right?"

Xia Liang suggested from the side: "Although we rashly challenged the pupa-level remnant beast and won at the right time and place, she would be worried if she knew it the first time?"

"It's better not to scare the teacher." Bai Jingxuan also added in a low voice.

"Well... that's true."

Lin Xiaolu floated in the air for a while and thought for a while, then raised her wand again: "Then, let's discuss how to report the following matters later, for now..."

She stopped in the middle of her words.

Not only her, but Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang who were beside her also stopped suddenly.The gazes of the three people cast their eyes on the ground not far away at the same time.

The purple-black beam of light in the center of the block exudes a dazzling light, and this light naturally casts shadows on the things in the air, making them reflect on the ground and being infinitely elongated.

But at this moment, at an unknown time, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.

This is an extremely slender shadow, projected from the air, it was very faint at first, but as it spread to the magical girl's feet, it showed a rich black like ink.

Judging from its shape and outline, that shadow looks like an extremely huge moth.

At this moment, the owner of the shadow was quietly floating in front of the beast.Compared with the huge remnant beast, its shape is not worth mentioning, it is as small as ants to elephants.But the shadow under his feet almost covered the entire block in front of him, far exceeding the size of the pupa-level beast.

Standing in the black shadow below them, a great sense of oppression and crisis eroded the nerves of several magical girls. There is no doubt that everyone can feel that the comer is not good.

Just facing the master of the shadow from afar, Lin Xiaolu felt short of breath, the magic power around her became extremely slow, and even her heartbeat began to speed up, her body tensed as if she had encountered a natural enemy.

She widened her eyes slightly, quickened her breathing, stared at the figure in the distance, and silently clenched the wand in her hand.

She felt extremely familiar with this sense of tension and oppression. In fact, she had experienced this feeling more than once, so she could easily describe its essence: it was a premonition of death in the face of a fatal threat.

The owner of the shadow didn't move at all, as if he was observing a few magical girls in the distance, suspended motionless, like a sculpture.

After a brief stalemate, the unknown existence flickered slightly.

When his figure appeared again after flickering, it was already within a few meters of several magical girls.This startled several magical girls who were already waiting for the battle. Lin Xiaolu acted like a response, and raised her hand to shoot a magic bullet.

But this magic bullet didn't have any effect, it couldn't even touch the mysterious figure in front of it, and it melted inexplicably when it was about to get close to the opponent.

Only then did the girls see clearly the face of the person who came—it was a man in black robe.

The other party has a slender and long body, and his whole body is covered by a black robe, so there is no trace of his appearance.As for that black robe, the magical girls present actually had an impression—the last time I saw this style of clothing was on the man called "Bing Touch Three" in the orphanage.

"...Black Ember Dawn."

Lin Xiaolu read out the name she heard back then.

And the man in black robe in front of him is also very different from the man at that time.

The surface of the opponent's black robe has more complex and fine dark golden patterns, and the image formed is still strange, but its outline can be clearly recognized: it is a golden moth with outstretched wings.

The other party's black robe was tied with a high hat, which replaced the hood of the robe. The long brim of the hat was pressed down very low, covering the face below and hiding his appearance.

"You guys really exceeded my expectations."

The man in black suddenly spoke, and from under the hat came a somewhat hoarse female voice: "It takes only five months to grow to this level, and even suppress a pupa-level remnant beast. There are very few of them.”

Her words seemed to be praising, but none of the magical girls thought she was praising.

"……who are you?"

As the first person to regain her composure among the few, Xia Liang stretched out her hand to stop Lin Xiaolu who was a little nervous, and said firstly, "Hide your head and show your tail, don't you dare to expose your true body even if you do bad things?"

In fact, she was also very nervous, so her voice couldn't help being a little rough.It's just that in this case, she didn't forget to be aggressive and tried to get the other party's information.

She thought very clearly: the mysterious black-robed man in front of her might not be an enemy that the three of her party could deal with. If something unexpected happens next, at least she must find out the identity of the enemy and spread the word.

"An obvious little thought, what a lovely child."

Xia Liang's rough aggressive method obviously couldn't hide the black-robed man, but the other party didn't seem to be angry, instead there was a bit of a smile in his tone: "Alright, as the Lord's supporters, we always disdain to hide our name surname."

She reached out, grabbed the hat on top of her head, and pulled it abruptly, taking it off.A somewhat old and aged face appeared in front of several people like this.

It was a blond, somewhat elderly woman with a peaceful smile on her face.

"I'm meeting you for the first time, children from Fangting City. My name is Moss."

As she said this, she bowed slightly, as if saluting: "Or you can translate my name from the Western Region language, describe it in the language of your East China Region, and call me moth."
