Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 224: Momentum Becomes Martial Arts

Chapter 224: Hundred Powers Become Martial Arts
Gladiolus did not immediately accept Purple Diamond's invitation.

The words that the other party said were too shocking. Betraying the country sounded very unreliable. Even if Gladiolus was very oblivious to what was happening outside, he still felt that it was not feasible.

Besides, she was a karuta magic girl with a job. As long as she went to the material world and killed a few high-level beasts, or went to the inter-world to fight the rebels and gain some merits, she could theoretically keep her identity. Although this possibility was not great, it was enough for her to refuse to go crazy with the other party.

If he agreed to the purple diamond and chose to betray the country, even if he followed a gem scepter to do it, the outcome would most likely be death. Whether it was the garden, the royal court, or the remaining four gem scepters, it was impossible to allow traitors to appear in the country. The consequences would be much more serious than forced retirement.

Gladiolus cherishes her life very much, because she has not yet completed her pursuit of martial arts, and she does not want to risk her life yet.

But Gladiolus was also very persistent. If he retired at this point and lost his magic power, he would probably not be able to continue perfecting his martial arts in this lifetime.

Purple Diamond saw her entanglement and hesitation, so she said: "If your mind can't make a decision for you, let's fight. I will not use the power of the gem scepter, but only my ability as a magical girl. As long as you win, I will unconditionally assist you in your research; as long as I win, you will follow me."

"Boss, do you think there's a chance I can win?" Gladiolus thought the other party was joking.

"If your 'martial arts' can't even defeat me without my powers, then it's just a waste of time for you to continue staying in the kingdom. Why not come with me to explore new possibilities?"

Purple Diamond smiled softly: "Don't you want to give it a try? Take me, the 'top magical girl', as your opponent and verify how far your martial arts can go."

Gladiolus was convinced by her.

She accepted the other party's conditions, and the two had a private duel.

Purple Diamond kept her promise and did not use her power. But Purple Diamond did not keep her promise completely, because she used some magical girl power that was not "traditional" - the magic power of some kind of residual beast.

It was the magic power of this remnant beast that became the final weight that changed the balance of victory, allowing her to defeat Gladiolus, who had used all his abilities.

However, Purple Diamond did not directly threaten Gladiolus to join her, but took her to greet some people.

Those were some magical girls, magical girls who, like Gladiolus herself, were at risk of being forced to retire.

These magical girls either lack combat capability or are injured and disabled in battle. Most of them are ordinary people who are unable to perform difficult combat missions and have no research talent.

There aren't many such magical girls in the kingdom, but there are quite a few too.

Some of them are unwilling to give up the youthful appearance of magical girls, some are unwilling to give up the power of magic, but there are also many who simply want to be magical girls.

Every magical girl, at least when she is chosen, has a pure and kind heart, and even after being worn out by time, many of them still maintain this original intention.

Maybe there is a little selfishness in this, but they just simply want to continue being magical girls and want to do their part for the world.

They may also be afraid of "betraying the country", but they are willing to take risks for their beliefs.

After that, Gladiolus became Kite.

She followed Purple Diamond and participated in planning and executing a large-scale defection, fleeing the country with these magical girls who were either injured or disabled or lacked combat power.

She witnessed Purple Diamond leaving the country and changed her name to "White Wolf", and gathered all the escaped magical girls together, calling herself "Claw Mark", claiming that she would build her own home for everyone.

She merged the magic power of the remnant beasts, and after years of practice, she further studied "qi" and "momentum", thus becoming one of the top cadres in Claw Mark.

Everything seemed to be just as White Wolf had promised. Even when using the magic of the remnant beasts, Claw Mark still maintained a certain code of conduct and did not degenerate into the group of remnant beasts in human skins like the Black Cinder Dawn. Not only that, since the goal was to establish a "home", Claw Mark would naturally accept more refugees from other countries.

Whether you are facing the crisis of forced retirement or are simply dissatisfied with the country's system, as long as you share the same interests, you can become a member of Claw Mark.

The Claw Mark gradually grew in the material world and the inter-world, and more and more magical girls joined the Claw Mark. At the peak, there were even hundreds of them.

Changes began from this moment on.

As the number of people increased, many different sounds began to appear in Claw Mark. At first, they might have been just noise, but since when, this noise overwhelmed the original melody and became the new proposition of Claw Mark.

——"Break the country's dictatorship and liberate more magical girls."

It is unknown since when, the group of magical girls who had escaped from the country at the risk of their lives just to build a new home together became a minority, and their opinions became less important. And those magical girls who came later, with less awe and more resentment towards the country, began to confront the country head-on.

When the proposition just became a consensus, this confrontation was very effective. Claw Mark even seized control of several cities from the country and showed a tendency to establish itself as the king.

But Claws, who were thriving at that time and had already begun to look into the future, forgot one thing - head-on confrontation would result in bloodshed.

This trend became history about twelve years ago with a national crackdown.

It was not the warm and affectionate civil war among colleagues as in the past. The gardener from the garden came to the material world with scissors, turning all confidence into fear.

A large number of magical girls with claw marks lost their lives in that siege, and many more did not die but were arrested and captured by the country.

Five out of ten of the cadres of Claw Mark were killed in an instant. Except for Chi Yuan who had been staying in the base, the leader Bai Lang, the deputy leader Black Cat, and two others who happened to have gone to the interdimensional world, the other five cadres all died.

In fact, although the Gardener was powerful, he should not have caused such heavy damage to Claw Mark. The reason why it turned out to be a massacre was very simple - at that time, all the flowers of Claw Mark could no longer bloom.

Leaving the country, changing the family, and dyeing the magic base into a remnant beast, the ultimate form of magical girls naturally became rootless duckweed. Although they are still magical girls, the power they can control is limited to the wonderland. The power of the wonderland may be enough for ordinary enemies, but facing the gardener's scissors, it is as powerless as a baby.

This painful lesson caused Claw Mark's policy to change drastically again. While the surviving magical girls inherited the will of their colleagues, they began to become more extreme.

In extreme cases, evil fruits that should not exist in the first place have emerged.

With the magic power of the remnant beast as the background and the ability of the magic girl as the fulcrum, Claws began to explore a new path. They tried to use the magic power of the remnant beast to reach Fankai again. After unremitting efforts, this attempt was rewarded. They mastered a form that simulated Fankai and greatly enhanced their abilities in a short period of time - it was called Beast Heart Liberation, or Heart Release for short.

Beast Heart Release, as the name suggests, is like the members of Black Dawn can use the beast organs to transform into residual beasts. Beast Heart Release is to completely abandon the magic girl's magic power, allowing the power of the residual beast to erode the whole body, and then use a single base color of magic to imitate the flourishing, thus achieving an effect similar to flourishing.

Of course, it is only an approximation of the flourishing. Although the liberation of the beast heart and the original flourishing of the magical girl often have many similarities, they will also undergo changes due to the background color of the residual beast.

For example, the name of the kite when it is in full bloom is "百武承势", which is a combination of its own use of "势". After it is transformed into a heart solution, its name becomes "百势成武".

The original form of flourishing is through continuous fighting. As long as one can gain a small advantage in the battle, one can accumulate a little "momentum" for oneself. When the "momentum" accumulates to a critical point, it can be transformed into "great momentum", bringing a crushing victory to gladiolus.

Although it is not an immediate effect, it is a very suitable ability for Gladiolus, who has mastered martial arts and is quite good at playing games in duels. He can gradually accumulate every tiny advantage into an irresistible victory.

If the enemy tries their best from the beginning, then Gladiolus only needs to resist the offensive, then in the long war of attrition, she will surely accumulate strength to win; if the enemy chooses to hide her strength at the beginning, then after Gladiolus has accumulated enough momentum, even if she uses her real skills, she will not be able to cause any waves.

This means that unless Gladiolus is knocked down directly in the early stages of the battle, the opponent will only become stronger and stronger until it becomes invincible.

Such steady and solid progress can be regarded as the kingly way of flourishing. After the gladiolus turns into a kite, the psychological solution of its transformation seems to have produced a completely different effect.

Delphinium has already experienced this effect.

She didn't know what the effect of this "Beast Heart Liberation" ability was, but it didn't prevent her from having an intuitive feeling during the battle.

That is - hopelessly powerful.

Yuan's original magic suit, the dark liquid metal, changed its form as his mind was unlocked, and it had turned into a black mist that spread all around, covering all the members of the Fangting City team and the Bai'an City team.

It was this mist that carried a huge pressure as if it were real, making it difficult for all the magical girls present to exert their full strength.

Cuiqiao and the other three can still rely on their relatively solid magic foundation to continue using their magic suits, but the performances of the other newcomers can only be described as embarrassing. Even Bai Ji, the most experienced among them, cannot use his magic suit and can only dodge in a panic in the mist.

Yes, they even had to dodge because Yuan's attacks never stopped.

Although she was fighting with Kusanagi and the others, and relying on her extremely high speed, she was able to defeat three people alone, but the newcomers did not get a chance to breathe, because from time to time, the shadow of Yuan would emerge from the black mist and attack them with different weapons.

As Yuan herself said, everyone only needs to "focus on the one in front of them." Because almost everyone has a Yuan in front of them who is constantly attacking them.

"What's wrong? If you just keep defending, you'll never have a chance to win, okay?"

Pulling out a Tang sword from the black mist, Yuan casually slashed at Cuiqiao from the side. The Tang sword went straight through the barrier of the silk thread and almost hit Cuiqiao's chest, but was blocked by Hong Siyu who was standing by with a spell.

She did not stop her actions. The Tang sword that was blocked by the spell only deflected slightly, and bounced Hong Si and the spell back along the same path. Then, she continued to chop at the Cuiqiao in front of her.

During this process, she seemed to have performed many movements, but in fact she only shook the knife for a moment. The whole process was so fast that no one could react and they were already facing the situation of being checked.

The knife that was chopped towards Delphinium had no obstruction in its forward direction, and the magic technique that bounced back to Hong Siyu also hit him straight in the face.

At this critical moment, Delphinium hooked its little finger.

Almost at the same time, the silk thread she had prepared earlier connected herself and Hong Siyu's back, pulling the two people away from their original positions like puppets, and narrowly avoided Yuan's attack.

To deal with such a tough enemy like Yuan, she had no choice but to be cautious and always have a backup plan in the battle.

In fact, this was not the first time she had used this method in this battle. Before, she had used this method several times to save three people from injury.

Because the existence of the silk thread is very concealed, and the force does not require large movements, even if one's own speed cannot catch up with the opponent, one can still use this trick to avoid the opponent's attack.

But this time, just by pulling the silk thread, Delphinium already had a bad feeling in her heart.

"The trajectory is so easy to guess."

Yuan's voice came from behind her.

No one was surprised by this. Even Delphinium herself knew that since she had used this trick several times, it was impossible for the opponent to be unprepared.

In fact, at this moment, there was another thread attached to her sleeve. As long as she hooked it, she could change direction again in the air and fly away diagonally.

But what she still didn't expect was that Yuan was standing on the angle bisector.

Be impartial and stand in a position where you can attack her immediately regardless of whether she changes direction or not.

The dragging direction of the silk thread is fixed, and the speed of using magic to push it is not that fast, so it is impossible for Delphinium to change its track further at this time. The only thing she can think of is to reduce the force of pulling the thread so that she will not continue to accelerate and fly over.

——"Senior!" She could hear Hong Siyu's short exclamation, as well as the screams of the girls beside her.

But it's no use anymore.

Chi la.

The sound of clothes tearing was accompanied by the flying of silver-blue spots of light. The Tang sword in Yuan's hand pierced through Cuique's chest from front to back.
