Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 225 Fierce Battle
The body of a magical girl is made up of magic power.

Therefore, after transformation, they do not have various weak spots like when they were humans. No matter what kind of external injury, as long as the magic power is still there, they can recover quickly.

If you want to actually hurt the magical girl, you must hurt her true self. There are only three ways to hurt her true self: either wait until the magical girl runs out of magic power; or directly attack her soul; if neither works, you can only attack the source of magic power.

This is also the action that Yuan just took.

However, it is not easy to harm the source of magic power. When the source of magic power leaves the state of the heart gem and merges with the magic girl, it floats in the magic body in a semi-real and semi-real state. Its existence is extremely elusive and its position is erratic, and normal people have almost no way to locate it.

However, in the feeling of Delphinium, his source of magic power seemed to have been locked for a moment. Fortunately, the other party did not succeed.

If she had not been calm enough at the last moment, mobilized her magic power under Yuan's attack, and changed the location of her magic source, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Even so, with its body pierced, the residual beast magic power that escaped from the Tang sword still caused serious damage to Cuique's magical body. In just a few seconds, the wound caused by the Tang sword turned into a huge hole, and was still spreading outward.

The magic power of the remnant beast has a corrosive effect on the magic girl's magic power. Even at the level of Delphinium, this restraint relationship still exists. In addition, the strength of the owner of the magic power, Yuan, is beyond imagination, so the injuries caused are naturally very serious.

It was not until this time that Aso Yuanxiang finally arrived.

The magic wand in her hand flickered and turned into a wine glass in an instant. The orange-red liquid in the glass glowed fluorescently and was splashed towards the direction of the kite as she moved.

This action did not seem threatening visually, but it made Yuan raise his eyebrows slightly, and then he dodged and retreated to a place ten meters away.

After she stepped back, the liquid that spilled from the wine glass all poured onto the ground. Soon, it ignited a raging fire like hot oil.

Taking advantage of the fire, Aso Yuanxiang quickly took Delphinium and carried her to the rear in a princess-carrying position.

Lying in Aso Yuanxiang's arms, Cuiqiao's face turned pale, with one hand covering her chest. The hole eroded by the remaining beast's magic power was already bigger than her palm. Scattered blue magic particles floated upwards from between her fingers, but she didn't even look at them, her eyes still fixed on Yuan not far away.

There was already a circle of people around her, whether it was Aso Yuanxiang and Hong Siyu who had originally fought with her, or the three little ones who quickly gathered around her after seeing her injured. Everyone was on the lookout for Yuan's actions while paying attention to Delphinium's injuries.

Among them, Lin Xiaolu was obviously the most panicked.

She stood beside Aso Yuanxiang, stretched out her hand and pressed it on the hollow space on Cuique's chest. Her lips trembled and her breathing became rapid, but her tight throat prevented her from saying anything. She could only make dry sobbing sounds.

She just looked into Delphinium's eyes and shook her head desperately, not knowing what she wanted to express.

Delphinium could only raise his other hand and pat her arm: "Don't panic, the source of magic power is not damaged, it just needs to consume more magic power."

Seeing that Lin Xiaolu still looked like she was about to cry and didn't believe it at all, she could only raise her head helplessly, lean close to Lin Xiaolu's ear, and say a few words to her in an extremely small voice.

Lin Xiaolu's eyes widened immediately.

She took great effort to catch her breath, squeezed out a few words from her throat, and asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Do you really want to do this?"

"Well, I've figured it out."

Delphinium nodded: "If everything is really as I thought, then the next situation will belong to us..."

——"I can't just pretend I didn't hear that! If you have any good plans, why not tell me about them?"

But on the other hand, Yuan didn't intend to give them time to settle down.

Having finally taken this opportunity to severely injure Cuiqiao, she naturally wanted to use it to consolidate her victory, so her figure flashed in the black fog and she rushed into the crowd again, swinging her sword.

This time, her target is Hong Siyu.

Her idea was very simple, which was to prioritize eliminating the three magical girls who were the main fighting force, and the order of attack was entirely based on her familiarity.

The reason why she had been chasing after Delphinium was because after several fights, she was more familiar with Delphinium's fighting style and could predict its actions to a certain extent, making it easier to succeed. Attacking Hong Siyu at this time also completely continued the same idea, aiming to solve more troubles as quickly as possible.

This time, without the help of Cuiqiao, Hong Siyu was obviously at a loss as to how to deal with the fierce attack.

At the critical moment, a rather petite black shadow rushed out from the side.

The black magic power echoed with Yuan's. It was also black, but it was mixed with green magic that was radiating freely. The black dress was covered with green evil patterns. The petite girl used her hands that were like animal claws to block Yuan's Tang sword.

That's Bai Jingxuan.

However, the person present was Bai Jingxuan, who no one had ever seen except Cuiqiao.

Her sclera also turned completely black like Yuan's. Her powerful magic power far exceeded that of a normal leaf-level magical girl. She stood opposite Yuan, and although there was a big difference in height, she was not much weaker in momentum.

Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, making it almost impossible to look into her eyes.

"...I see, you are the 'Bai Jingxuan'?"

However, Yuan seemed to be completely unaware of this murderous intent. She just clapped her hands in delight and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder the boss specifically asked me to bring you along. This is really interesting!"

Bai Jingxuan did not respond to her intention at all.

She silently pushed her feet against the ground and rushed forward like a wild beast that had lost its mind.

In the darkness of the night, two balls of magic with the same black background collided with each other, and for a moment the other people around could not even tell who had the upper hand.

The dark green beast was venting its magic power crazily, completely ignoring Yuan's attack. Whether its body was scratched by weapons or its magic power was weakened by the mist, it didn't care at all, as if it wanted to die together with the opponent.

This life-and-death fighting style, coupled with equally abundant magic power, actually restrained Yuan for a while.

However, Yuan soon found some pattern from this seemingly chaotic battle.

She pulled herself out of the violent attack, drifting like a small boat in the waves, and then, at an extremely tiny flaw, she pressed her palm on Bai Jingxuan's abdomen.

“He has great potential, but he’s still too young.”

She commented like this. Then, the dark magic power around her suddenly paused, and seemed to fade in an instant, and layers of black ripples suddenly spread out in all directions.

A huge buzzing sound came from Yuan's palm. For a moment, it seemed as if the air was shattered, and cracks spread out from under his palm.

"boom"!
Then, Bai Jingxuan flew out.

As if she was hit by some huge force out of nowhere, she was catapulted out like a cannonball, at a speed so fast that even the ordinary human eye could not catch it.

A shrill sound of breaking through the air passed by the ears of several people. Bai Jingxuan's body was flying like this, and it seemed that she was about to fall off the mountain and directly fall off the cliff.

Fortunately, Hong Siyu on the side took action in time.

The notebook in his hand was opened, and the purple-red magic power formed a net bag in time on Bai Jingxuan's flying path, stopping her.

Of course, Yuan couldn't just sit there and watch all this happen. As soon as Bai Jingxuan was caught, she rushed to Hong Siyu again. Not only that, this time many figures holding different weapons appeared in the black fog and launched an attack at the same time.

This time it was Margaret's turn to come to the rescue.

She used her wand to block the weapon swung by Yuan in time. In the brief explosion, she suddenly pressed the wand down a distance as if possessed by a magic power, blocking the second attack from the black fog.

"Retreat and use firepower to contain her!"

As she shouted loudly, she pushed Hong Siyu back, and then the wand in her hand once again turned into a wine glass-shaped magic wand. As the liquid in the glass splashed, she fought with Yuan.

All of this was imprinted in Delphinium's eyes.

At this time, she had been placed next to a tree by Aso Yuanxiang, leaning against the trunk quite weakly, and could only watch the battle develop.

The hole in the chest can be repaired by magic power, but the amount required is extremely huge, so at this moment she has to reduce her actions and allow the magic power to repair the injury as quickly as possible.

But being unable to join the battle doesn't mean she can't do anything about the current situation.

Just as she had just said to Lin Xiaolu, in her opinion, "the situation is already on their side."

Because just now, at the moment when she was attacked hard by Yuan, she seemed to vaguely understand part of the opponent's ability.

Unlike the first encounter in the Strategy Bureau, this time Yuan didn't say a word and until now he had not mentioned the abilities he gained after his beast heart was released.

No doubt she was also on guard against Delphinium's magic suit.

In the last fight, Yuan easily revealed one of her core abilities, the existence of "Chi", which led to her being sealed by Kuroko, and she ultimately lost. She obviously hasn't forgotten this.

It is precisely because of this that Cuiqiao has not asked Hong Siyu for assistance in using the extremely unstable second magic weapon until now.

Because she must ensure that her scissors are used in the most critical places.

Yuan's beast heart has been liberated, and the abilities it has demonstrated so far are quite comprehensive. Not only has it retained the ability of the magic suit itself to be transformed into a weapon, it has also demonstrated enhancements in speed, strength, magic power and other aspects, and it has even been mixed with "qi", which has had a certain suppressive effect on the performance of its own abilities.

It enhances all of its own qualities while weakening the enemy's combat capabilities. It can be said that its effect is quite simple and crude.

But knowing this is not enough.

What is the range of the ability? How big is the scope of the ability? Is it really worth using the scissors? More importantly, if Delphinium wants to use the scissors to remove this part of the ability, it must first understand the nature of its ability.

And just now, she caught that fleeting flash of inspiration.

When Yuan's Tang sword was about to pierce her chest, she realized that this was a risk, but also an opportunity.

The opponent's speed was so fast that the enemy could not even touch it with normal means, so they had not been able to launch an effective attack. However, no matter how fast it was, the kite could not move significantly at the moment of attack.

In other words, when the kite attacks you, it is actually the best time to fight back.

As for how to fight back, it is actually very simple: use the silk threads connected to your back. The silk threads connected to the Delphinium's body are originally used to pull the body and assist in movement, but their functions are not fixed. As long as the Delphinium moves the position of the silk threads connected to its body, it can be transformed from a tool to assist in movement into a weapon to cause damage to the kite.

So, where should the connection point of the thread move?
The decision that Delphinium made at that moment was to move directly to the location where the source of the magic power was locked.

Because at that moment, the Tang sword that Yuan stabbed out must have gone towards that point, and no matter what, the silk thread could cut the opponent's arm at the same time.

This is what happened in that split second, and it turned out that she was right.

When the Tang sword pierced through the chest, the touch from the silk thread was not deceiving, and Yuan was cut.

Even though this exchange was not at all equal, and she herself suffered more injuries and lost far more magic power than the other party, she still succeeded in launching an effective attack for the first time.

Although the thread only cut and did not cause any effective damage, the important thing was that she discovered something, something that was far more important than all other exchanges.

——Yuan hesitated for a moment, as if she was considering whether to take the blow.

This is quite an intriguing performance.

The liberation of Yuan's animal heart obviously not only improved his speed and magic power, but also his body's external pressure resistance and defense capabilities became extremely exaggerated.

In other words, even if she was cut by the Delphinium's silk thread, she would not lose too much magic power.

So, if that’s the case, why should the other party hesitate?
Delphinium cannot find the truth with just this little information, but it is enough.

"Margaret."

As she figured this out, she raised her voice and said to Aso Yuanxiang who was fighting with Yuan not far away:
——"Bloom."
