Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 231

When the explosion of magic power rang out again, Mimosa even felt the air current blowing her hair. She turned her head subconsciously, but saw nothing.

Clearly in her perception, the sound just now seemed to be coming from her ear, so real, but when she really observed with her naked eyes, she could not see anything, as if everything was just an illusion.

But she knew it couldn't be an illusion.

She was with her companions not long ago, but they were all separated when they opened their nest. If hallucinations really existed, then the hallucination must be the current situation of "the disappearance of teammates", not the sound and airflow she felt.

However, even knowing this, she was still powerless to change the current situation.

She could not see her teammates, nor the enemies that were right in front of her. She felt like she was thrown into a parallel world. Although the scenery around her was the same as when she came, everything else was so wrong.

She stretched out her hand, wrapped the magic power on her palm, and carefully touched the tree trunk lightly. The feeling from her fingertips told her: This is indeed a real tree.

So, what is my current situation? Have I been sent to a different dimension that is highly similar to reality? Or have I been subjected to some kind of sleight of hand? Or have I simply developed cognitive impairment?
What was the other party's intention in doing this? Was it simply to stall for time? Or was it to defeat them one by one? Maybe while I was exploring here leisurely, my companions had already been knocked down by the enemy?

She couldn't help but have such a guess.

And if her guess was true, then the situation would be really bad - she knew very well how powerful her teammate Mu Baili was. If she encountered such a crippled beast that was obviously above the pupa level, she would probably not be able to last for two minutes.

As for the two magical girls from Fangting City... the one named Baimei was able to defeat Baiji, so her strength should be pretty good, but what about the elementary school student? Can that kid hold up?
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that the burden on her shoulders had increased a lot, because the task of breaking the deadlock might very well fall on her.

"Eye shot."

Softly calling out the name of her magic outfit, she grasped the tambourine that appeared in her hand and tapped it gently. The sound pattern with magic power immediately spread out in all directions, scanning every inch of land around her like a radar.

She wanted to try and see if she could find any clues from the traces around her.

……

……

Lin Xiaolu covered the wound on her abdomen, hid behind a tree trunk, and held her breath as much as possible.

Light blue magic power continued to leak out from the torn abdomen. She could feel that a considerable amount of magic power in her body was flowing towards the wound, as if intending to repair it, but unfortunately, she did not have the spare capacity now.

Because the breathing sound of the crippled beast was not far away, she had to make sure that she could mobilize enough magic power at any time to deal with the opponent's attack.

After a series of fights just now, she has confirmed one thing - in a one-on-one fight, she is no match for the other party.

This actually did not surprise her. After all, the other party was a remnant beast that had already taken control of the nest and was even suspected to have mastered the rules. It was too wishful thinking for a person of her level to defeat it alone.

Moreover, let alone a head-on battle, even escaping is difficult for me. The opponent has some unknown perception ability, and it is difficult for me to escape from the opponent's pursuit.

If she hadn't been quick-witted and pretended to be ready to fight the opponent, and then hid in the collision of magic, she would have been lying down now.

This cleverness was not without cost - she consumed half of her magic power in the fight, suffered serious injuries, and now she was about to be found again.

By that time, I'm afraid the opponent will defeat me directly, and I won't have the chance to use the same trick again.

So, what else can I do now?
She couldn't help but ask herself this.

If they can't win in a one-on-one fight, then the only chance of winning is naturally in a group fight. However, Semi is obviously not stupid. He uses rules to isolate all the magical girls present in order to eliminate the possibility of a group fight.

In other words, the best way to defeat Semi is to crack its rules.

"Break the rules"; these four words sound so easy to say, but how easy is it to do? Now she doesn't even know what the other party has done, or what means were used to make her companion disappear. How can she break the rules?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaolu closed her eyes somewhat dejectedly. She once again felt annoyed that she could not use the magic suit. If her ability was not as limited as it is now, she would not have gained no information after fighting with the opponent.

If a battle is like two people playing cards, then turbidity certainly gives her more skills to play the cards in her hand, but now she has no cards to use, so no matter how fancy the skills are, they can't change anything.

Thinking of this, she shook her head slightly, then stood up holding onto the tree trunk.

She could already hear Semi's breathing stop behind her.

"Not hiding anymore?" asked Sammy.

"Everything has been discovered, what else is there to hide?"

Lin Xiaolu curled her lips: "What's the point of deceiving yourself?"

"In that case, maybe I can send you off without you knowing it."

Semi raised his claws, and the sharp claws flashed coldly: "Although I actually have something else to ask you, if it weren't for the current situation, I might have spared your life, but unfortunately, I'm in a hurry now."

"In a hurry... Haha, you just want to cause a disaster and kill ordinary people, but you make it sound like you're doing something serious."

Lin Xiaolu sneered: "Those guys from Black Dawn were the same. They always said empty words like 'I am the righteous one' and 'for my own pursuit', but in fact they did some inhumane things. They were really hypocritical to the extreme."

"...Don't confuse us with the Black Dawn group. You have no idea what we Claws are trying to do."

Semi paused and said, "You magical girls are the ones who blindly follow the kingdom for some wishful dreams, not knowing that you have already become accomplices of evil."

"Delphinium once told me that you shouldn't care about what a person says, but pay more attention to what he does."

Lin Xiaolu raised her wand, and the blazing white magic power began to condense: "If killing civilians and destroying cities is called 'justice', and protecting the weak is called 'evil', then I am now the enemy of 'justice'."

"It doesn't matter. I don't care what the weak think."

Semi said indifferently, then swung his claws forward: "Ideals without power as a guarantee, justice without power as a foundation, are just empty talk, fragile and vulnerable."

The giant claw fell, raising dust everywhere.

——Ding!

However, what was heard was not the explosion sound of magic collision, but the crisp sound of some hard objects colliding.

The giant claws of the crippled beast collided with Lin Xiaolu's magic wand, and for a moment neither of them had the upper hand. "The magic wand... blocked my attack?"

Semi couldn't help but doubt his own eyes and confirmed again and again that he was not seeing things.

You have to know that it didn't hold back at all just now, using 80 to 90 percent of its strength just to defeat the enemy with one move. This kind of attack should not be blocked by a magic girl who is not even at the leaf level with a magic wand.

As a manifestation of the magical girl's magic power, the definition of a magic wand is actually "the prototype of a magic outfit". Its strength is barely enough to deal with egg-level or worm-level residual beasts, but when it comes to residual beasts above the pupa level, the strength of the magic wand is completely insufficient to withstand their attacks.

Although the strength of the magic wand will increase as the magical girl becomes stronger, the increase is not that great. Generally speaking, a magical girl of at least Bud level can use the magic wand to block the attack of Pupa level, and only a magical girl of Flower level can use the magic wand to resist Metamorphosis.

So, does this magical girl in front of it actually have lei-level abilities?
Sammy didn't believe that at all.

But soon, it no longer had time to think about such problems.

Because it discovered that the magic wand that blocked its attack had become longer at some point.

Can the shape of a magic wand be changed?
Semi was not a magical girl, and had never deliberately studied the wands of magical girls, but in terms of its past participation in the war with the Kingdom, and its subsequent experience in Claw Mark, it had never seen anything like this.

But it knew that it was a battle and it should not be distracted during the battle, even if the enemy was weaker than itself.

So it quickly regrouped, arched its body again, and launched an attack on the opponent with all its strength.

clang!
Then, its attack was once again blocked by Lin Xiaolu.

This time, after blocking the attack, Lin Xiaolu's wand underwent some changes in shape - its tip seemed to become sharper.

Lin Xiaolu herself was unaware of all this.

Compared to these external changes, what she could feel now was a strong emotion, an overflowing rage.

——"When I first became a magical girl, I always thought that the remaining beasts were our biggest enemies."

She spoke in a hoarse voice: "Because the remnant beasts are destroying the city and killing humans, so as long as all the remnant beasts invading the city are defeated and the attacks of the remnant beasts no longer cause tragedies, then the magical girl's mission will be accomplished."

"And as long as they can do these things, such a magical girl can definitely make her city a better place, and can definitely hold her head high and say that she is 'amazing'."

"Really, I've always thought so."

She waved the wand in her hand, blocking all of Semi's attacks steadily, but she seemed unaware of it: "But later, after I learned about the Black Dawn and your existence, I realized that things are not that simple at all."

"Humans became beasts, fairies became beasts, magical girls also became beasts... It's as if the beasts are just a tool to you, as if becoming a beast has no psychological burden at all."

In the fierce collision, the wand in her hand continued to become longer and longer, and every time she blocked the opponent's attack, the corresponding part of the wand would fade from light blue to white:
"You talk about killing so casually and easily make the decision to destroy the city. Even when the beasts attacked, they couldn't kill so many ordinary people so easily. But you can always do more exaggerated destruction than the beasts."

“Power, power, power, every one of you is saying the word.”

She gritted her teeth and almost squeezed out these words: "Because it is right to have power, because it is right to pursue power, because it is right to believe in power. I have heard it so many times that my ears are almost callused."

"Just for the so-called power, you trample on human lives. What's the difference between you and the beasts?"

"In pursuit of your so-called dreams, you use others as sacrifices. What morality do you have compared to beasts?"

Pushing Semi back once again, she took a step forward, then held her wand in reverse and held it upright behind her: "If you really think you are powerful and that you are righteous, then don't make fun of ordinary people every day. Why don't you challenge the evil you are talking about?"

"If you can't do this, then at least, at least..."

She raised her head and yelled at the top of her lungs: "Can you please not always pick other people's holidays to carry out terrorist attacks? Do you know how annoying you really are?"

At this point, her magic wand, which looked bumpy and had turned completely white, started to burn completely in her hand.

The last trace of color on the staff faded away in the blazing white flames. The flames outlined fine patterns on the surface of the staff like a skilled craftsman, and then cleverly gathered together after touching the end of the staff.

At the tip of the wand, the original outer decorations all gradually melted in the flames, and a bright white gem rose from it and sat on the wand. Then, a series of complicated decorations rose up around the gem and wrapped it tightly inside.

The place where her hand was holding slowly sank into several grooves, and in the grooves were several transparent crystals, one of which was shining with a blazing white, while the others were completely transparent and no color could be seen.

After the transformation, her wand looked more like a scepter than a wand.

A scepter inlaid with white gemstones.

What came with it was the magic wand, no, it should be said that the name of the magic armor was firmly engraved in Lin Xiaolu's heart, as if it had already existed.

As her thoughts flowed, she already knew everything about her magic suit.

"Wang Yao."

So she spoke, as if giving an order, and instructed the scepter in her hand: "Expand the form, guard the form."

The next second, the white scepter was stained with color.

Among the crystals on the scepter, the one that was originally flashing with bright white suddenly went out and turned from white to colorless, while the other colorless crystal lit up at this time and turned light blue.

The scepter in her hand also changed along with the color of the crystal. Almost instantly, it turned into a light blue stick. Then its length was stretched again until it exceeded Lin Xiaolu's height.

A light blue spear appeared in her hand.

She twirled the spear in her hand as if she had learned it by herself, performed a few cool gun dances, took a step forward, raised her weapon, and charged towards Semi in two steps.

Chi.

Then, because the gun was too long, it stabbed into the ground and he fell face down on the ground.
