Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 70 The Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger! (5700 words)

Jiang Si stepped out of the wall and glanced at the flames blooming in the sky.

Cocoa's magic was so powerful that it surprised him a little.

Half a step into full bloom, the magical level of a new seedling reaching its peak.

Although he hasn't reached his peak yet, his control over magic is not precise enough, and he doesn't currently have any magic skills of his own.

Without elevating one's skills to match one's current strength, one is still far from the so-called "New Seedling Great Perfection".

For example, that flaming spear from earlier was indeed comparable in power to the Blooming Spear, but its method of using magic was clearly still in its infancy.

The magical variations are not varied enough, and the timing of the magical bursts is also incorrect.

The combat strategy is still in its infancy.

The new seedlings are completely unfamiliar with combat methods and magic usage, which means that the training and education provided by the Disaster Management Bureau are completely inadequate.

From the very beginning, the Qingyun Sect will distribute the cultivation methods for the seedling stage to ensure that disciples have sufficient foundation when they advance and can immediately master the combat methods of the seedling stage, so as to avoid being unable to win even after breaking through in battle.

According to Bing Tang, the Disaster Management Bureau is like those robot phones: poor system scheduling, unbalanced components, and sometimes it has to rely on force to throw bricks to meet requirements.

The magical girl from the Qingyun Sect is a standard example; she uses the same Apple mobile phone every day. It's well-regulated, has balanced components, and a fast system response, but it's not cold-resistant and tends to shut down automatically.

Speaking of Dongjun's magic control assessment, which is essentially about withstanding her frost and adjusting the fine magic control of Yumo's whirlwind, both are very suitable special training for Coco.

There's also the trial of escaping a truck chase by simply activating the magic of the seed and then using one's physical body.

Give her three times the amount, Coco should have no problem.

As a magical girl and her own younger sister, Jiang Keke will never be inferior to anyone in this life...

While pondering how to teach Coco cultivation methods, the calamity beast on the rooftop roared and began to move again.

Jiang Si sighed and stretched.

Gather all the impure and demonic power within your body.

A large, jet-black bow slowly unfurled in his hand.

Ultimately, apart from their completely opposite nature, there is no difference between unclean magic and pure magic, and the methods of manipulation are also very similar, requiring only slight adjustments to the details of control.

That way, you can do the same thing.

Jiang Si placed one foot on the back of the bow, pulled the bowstring, and the huge arrow flowed continuously until the bow was fully drawn like a full moon.

The moment they let go, a whistling arrow shot out of the air!

The pitch-black magic even created flames through friction in the air, forcefully enveloping the arrow within them.

It was exactly the same shot that Coco had fired earlier!
However, Jiang Si's arrow suddenly stopped the moment it pierced the vine-covered monster.

And so, it exploded violently inside the beast's body!

The enormous monster's vines were blasted away, and half of its body was obliterated by the arrow!
Even without transforming, his magical power, aided by the captain's empowerment, is comparable to the peak of a new seedling's great perfection.

It was a strike comparable to the Half-Step Bloom.

Coco's shot was just like fireworks in the sky; it couldn't kill an A-level monster, let alone a B-level monster.

But Jiang Si's arrow sliced ​​off half of the A-level disaster beast's body.

Even Jiang Si herself could give it such a terrifying evaluation.

However, it seems that even a strike from a mere half-step into full bloom was not enough to kill an A-level calamity beast.

Even though half of its body was destroyed, the vines grew rapidly and quickly repaired the missing parts.

Even A-rank disaster beasts have varying levels of quality; in the future, disaster beasts should be classified into different levels in detail.

After probing for a while, Jiang Si figured out the characteristics of the A-level disaster beast.

First and foremost, there is no seed of lamentation.

He had pierced through the entire body of the calamity beast, and in the end, he even destroyed half of its body.

But the location of the seed of lamentation could not be found.

Originally, I wanted to try a classic challenge against a higher level, using the strength of a newly sprouted beast to fight against a fully bloomed A-level disaster beast, which is comparable to the full bloom.

Two things were discovered.

One reason is that the contribution of the new seedlings is ultimately too limited, and they cannot eliminate the entire A-level disaster beast in one go.

Another issue is that A-level calamity beasts do not possess the Seed of Lamentation.

Breaking through defenses and injuring A-rank disaster beasts is quite difficult for a newly emerging magical girl in the Disaster Management Bureau.

If there are seeds of lamentation, by concentrating our strength and seizing the right opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop, we have a chance to win.

As a result, the A-level calamity beasts did not possess the Seed of Lamentation.

A-level disaster beasts have never appeared in Beihai, and the Beihai Disaster Management Bureau naturally has few records of them. Jiang Si really didn't know about them; Bing Tang had never mentioned them...

He might have mentioned it, but he forgot.

After all, they hadn't encountered a single A-rank disaster beast in three years, so this wasn't crucial information and it was normal to forget about it.

As the longbow dissipated, the vines of the calamity beast danced and rushed over like a dense volley of whips.

Having used up most of the corrupt magic within its body, the Calamity Egg once again entered a state of suspended animation.

The power from the empowerment was ultimately weak and ineffective; it was completely exhausted after only one attack at the peak of the new seedling stage.

Jiang Si took out her seeds.

The grayish-white seeds still looked lifeless.

Precise sidestep, jump, and retreat.

Countless vines brushed past him.

Too slow. The attacks of A-level disaster beasts don't have many patterns, and they can be seen through at a glance.

Jiang Si casually wandered among the swirling vines, gazing at the miracle seed.

Can't transform?

how is this possible.

All worldly principles originate from the mind; this is merely a minor illusion.

It's not that they can't transform, but rather that they make the magical girl believe she can't transform.

This is the Way of Sitting in Oblivion, and it is also the Great Forest Tree, as recorded in online articles.

It's fun, but don't even think about fooling me.

It may deceive my eyes, but it cannot deceive my Dao heart.

The overwhelming vines finally became so dense that there wasn't even a single gap, pressing towards Jiang Si from all directions!
He gripped the seed tightly, the terrifying force compressing the miracle, and a faint purple light bloomed from Jiang Si's palm!

Even if it's a dead seed, I'll still use it!
"Heaven and earth are ruthless."

The vines entwined and constantly obscured Jiang Si's vision, leaving only his left eye coldly gazing at the distant monster.

Eventually, even this small patch of vision was blocked.

Completely submerged by vines.

"Treating all things as straw dogs."

A burst of intense purple flames shot skyward!

……

Coco finally stopped.

Looking at the corpse in front of him, whose head had been completely smashed and who was no longer breathing, he felt a sudden exhaustion.

Coco plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.

Although the symptoms of witchhood are still present, they have stopped spreading.

The concentration of corrupt magic has also decreased, so at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about the further spread of corrupt magic.

I don't know how to get out; maybe I really can't get out.

Coco looked up at the vine-covered wall and could feel her breathing becoming increasingly labored.

She had just advanced to the seedling stage. Although she had successfully broken through the wall of vines, she could still feel it.

Now the vine walls are thicker and their power is even more terrifying.

Even if they were to launch another full-force attack, they might not be able to break through.

A-rank monsters are beyond the capabilities of a newly emerging magical girl; Yi Yi had told her this before.

Once they get serious, the defense of an A-rank disaster beast is beyond the reach of a newly emerging magical girl.

Whether it's magical power or the nature of magical energy, there's an insurmountable gap between an A-rank disaster beast and a newly emerging magical girl.

When a fully blossoming magical girl fights an A-rank disaster beast, a newly sprouted magical girl can't even offer much help.

If Jiang Si were trapped here and died, would she be sad?
It seems not.

Without even hesitation or thought, just thinking about her parents, Coco gave her answer.

Before her parents died, Jiang Si's response was quite normal.

Once he dies, it's all over; Jiang Si won't even treat him like a human being anymore.

Although a corpse can hardly be considered a person.

What about the others? Will anyone feel sorry for themselves?
I don't have any friends at school, and I'm only close to my teachers. They'll probably just feel regretful, maybe a little sad, but only for a short while.

Since they're not family, they won't be sad for long.

Then, the members of the Magical Girl Squad might feel sad for themselves.

If Yiyi is your only friend, you'll definitely be sad for a long time.

They were best friends. Yiyi had just recovered from the grief of losing her sister when she had to face the death of her best friend...

It must be really upsetting for Yiyi; it's just too much.

But Coco believed.

She can definitely surpass all of these!

He glanced down at the captain's mangled head; the corpse emitted a foul stench.

Aside from the nausea caused by the stench, she didn't feel much else. This was all thanks to Jiang Si's training—throwing her parents' rotting remains in front of her.

Looking at the corpse of this witch-like scum, no matter how tragic it is, I feel completely at peace.

If it were Jiang Si, what would he do now...?

Thinking about Jiang Si, his previously agitated mind cooled down a bit.

For a moment, she didn't know how to face her brother.

The hatred and resentment I once felt because of my parents are now completely irrelevant.

Because it was I who killed my parents.

They even felt guilty and deeply ashamed for it.

Even if Jiang Si didn't say it, these past few years haven't been easy for her, whether it's money, things at school, or relationships with relatives.

Most of the problems still need to be solved by Jiang Si, but there's very little she can actually do.

If it weren't for the death of his parents, Jiang Si wouldn't have had to shoulder these responsibilities; he wasn't much older than him.

Although he always has a blank expression and seems indifferent, revealing no emotion, he must have had a very tough time all these years.

She always gave him the cold shoulder, made him angry, and acted as if he had wronged her and mistreated her.

In reality, our current predicament is entirely our own doing.

But then again, I don't have the ability to read minds...

It's all because he never says anything, never complains, and never emphasizes what he's sacrificed. If he doesn't say anything, how am I supposed to know what happened...?

I tried to find excuses for myself in order to lessen my guilt.

But I soon became somewhat discouraged.

Because if she had observed carefully at the time, she could have abandoned her prejudices and viewed Jiang Si's actions objectively.

Then there would be no such misunderstanding.

Even though Li Yi had already realized that Jiang Si wasn't such a wicked and hateful person when they first met, unlike her own prejudiced self, she spoke many good words for Jiang Si.

As a result, he didn't listen to a word of it.

Perhaps, Yiyi is the one more suitable to be Jiang Si's younger sister.

If Yiyi had been Jiang Si's sister from the beginning, perhaps so many disasters wouldn't have happened...

Then she lowered her head, bit her lip, and felt guilty.

I'm so sorry, Yiyi, your sister's seven-day mourning period just ended, and I was already thinking of making you the sister of my enemy's boyfriend...

But I myself am indeed not a good younger sister.

From beginning to end, I was not only completely wrong, but also stubbornly refused to see the truth.

She was angry because Jiang Si didn't take her parents' funeral seriously, and she felt disappointed and resentful that he was unwilling to accompany her during her most painful time.

In the end, he was the one who killed his parents.

The underlying logic was flawed from the very beginning; it was Jiang Si who should be angry and resentful towards him.

Not only did he cause the deaths of his parents, but he also became a burden to Jiang Si, causing her countless troubles. He was always giving her attitude and righteously dumping things he couldn't handle onto her.

He kept insisting that Jiang Si was in the wrong.

Thinking of this, Coco couldn't help but clutch her chest, feeling a tightness and a sharp pain.

How can I apologize in a way that will make myself forgive myself?
What can we do to become family again?

Will Jiang Si still care about her younger sister?
How can I tell him that I caused my parents' death?
The thought of Jiang Si's reaction after finding out about this made Coco feel a growing sense of fear.

Will I get angry? Will I hate myself? Will I cut ties with myself?

What should Coco do if her brother abandons her? Then she'll have no family left.

Don't do that kind of thing...

"cocoa!"

Suddenly, a venomous voice echoed throughout the entire building.

Coco immediately clutched her miracle seed and looked around.

He glanced down at the captain's corpse again.

He is indeed dead, no problem.

Where did that voice come from? The captain's voice...

"Even if I die, the calamity beast will not die!"

"You won't survive, Coco! Coco!"

Coco finally confirmed that it was coming from the vines.

The sounds from inside the calamity beast echoed throughout the entire building, reverberating from floor to floor.

The captain and the calamity beast have become one?

Feeling a slight chill, Coco forced herself to stand up and gripped the seed tightly once more.

The transformation cooldown period hasn't ended yet, and the effects of the Witch's Guild are still ongoing.

Even after the cooldown is over, transforming again is still dangerous.

A vine wrapped around her neck and limbs, lifting her up.

Even the miracle seed in their hands was taken away.

"Bring double the miracles and happiness? Dream on! You'll only ever bring calamity, Coco!"

Coco tried hard to pick up the miracle seed that had fallen to the ground, but the vine pulled her back with a little force.

The captain's狰狞扭扭 (zhengning niu, meaning ferocious or twisted) face appeared on the vine-covered wall in front of them:
"Because you killed me, this A-level disaster beast is about to go berserk, and no one can handle it anymore!" The captain mocked Coco. "This is your doubled miracle and happiness, Coco! Now everyone in Beihai... most of Beihai's people have fallen into a deep sleep. The disaster control bureaus in other cities haven't received the news and can't possibly come over anytime soon. In half a day, just half a day, the A-level disaster beast will flatten Beihai!"

"You've been a jinx since you were a child, and you'll be a jinx for the rest of your life!"

"You will only bring disaster and suffering to everyone! I want you to see with your own eyes how you destroyed Beihai. Your friends, your classmates, your family, all of them were killed by you, just like you killed your own parents!"

"boom!"

A dazzling purple light tore through the vine-covered walls, enveloping the entire building.

A blazing, exploding purple fire dragon charged into the building!
Thousands of vines coiled around her, but they were reduced to ashes in the purple flames. The dragon grabbed Coco, who was entangled, and the purple bursting flames instantly burned away all the vines on Coco's body!

Coco closed her eyes in fright, but as she was immersed in the purple flames, she felt only a comfortable warmth, like that of warm water.

Before she could think any further, the fire dragon had already grabbed her and dragged her out of the building!
The fire dragon pierced through the entire floor like a cannonball, and the glass and concrete shattered instantly from the entire floor with the shock wave!

The calamity beast above fell another floor, its entire body covered in purple flames, letting out a mournful roar. No matter how it swung its vines, it could not extinguish the flames!
The strong wind made it impossible for Coco to open her eyes. When she finally did, someone grabbed her by the back of her collar and lifted her up like a cat.

Looking up at that stunningly beautiful face, Coco murmured, "Teacher Ziyuan..."

"Don't speak, look carefully."

Ziyuan's tone was indifferent, yet carried a hint of a teacher's urging: "Remember, and then practice well."

Coco then looked at a floating white cloud above the A-level disaster beast that covered the entire building.

It was suddenly ignited!

The raging flames transformed the white clouds into a purple half-finger.

It looks a bit like Shion-sensei's little finger...

Then, the half finger was pressed down.

The burning vines evaporated in an instant!
The entire building exploded starting from the top floor, melting and splattering reinforced concrete!

The load-bearing columns and steel beams bent first and then broke, and the building collapsed layer by layer like a chain reaction of building blocks!

Blinding blue and white arcs of electricity darted wildly through the air, crackling and popping sounds quickly drowned out by the deafening roar of the collapsing building. The lights on the lower floors flickered wildly, as if they had touched some electrical wires or boxes.

Then darkness descended completely, and the scattered steel bars, furniture, glass, and other ruins were melted in the purple flames. Only a gray wave of cement ash, dust, and harmless debris surged outwards!

The rows of cars parked on the roadside were almost completely crushed, sirens blared, explosions occurred, and they burst into flames.

Coco's ears were almost pierced by the destructive sound. When she came to her senses, she found that the building was now just a ruin, with a few vines twisting and struggling in the flames.

Coco opened her mouth wide.

She thought that by advancing to the new seedling stage, she could finally get a little closer to Ms. Shion.

However, the stronger you become, the clearer it becomes how enormous this gap is...

"Have you learned it?" Zi Yuan asked. "Heaven-grade demonic skill: [Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, half a finger shakes heaven and earth.]"

The Qingyun Sect's magic skill is the most useful and also one of the most popular.

Coco opened her mouth, wanting to say that she had learned it.

But I didn't understand it at all!
Oh no! The teacher went to all that trouble to teach her a skill, and she didn't learn it at all. Will she disappoint Teacher Shion? If she's disappointed, will she never teach her again? That's something I absolutely cannot accept…

Ziyuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt in her mind. Could it be that her teaching skills were really that bad?
I had put a lot of thought into that attack, using only the techniques and methods that a new magical girl like me could master. Even if Coco is stupid, she could see it, right?
There shouldn't be anyone who can't learn such a simple magic technique...

Then I sensed an ominous aura.

The witch's costume that Coco wore, which was originally incomplete, actually began to grow a little longer.

Then she heard Coco's cold, mocking laugh, "This is nothing for someone like me who is already a complete witch."

Her expression and tone were completely different from the previous Coco, and she exuded a strong, foul magic.

A second personality after she became a witch? Interesting.

But why does my second personality have to mimic my speech?

Ziyuan was slightly puzzled, but she didn't think much of it and casually threw Cocoa on the ground.

Extending her small, rounded index finger, the pale purple nail polish seemed to be burning, and a giant finger appeared above Cocoa. "Have you fallen into the demonic path? Then let you experience the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger yourself and wake up."

Before even half a finger's width of space in the sky had arrived, the terrifying power caused the ground around Coco to crack and collapse!

The witch's costume on her body vanished in an instant, and Coco knelt down on the ground with a "thud".

"I'm sorry, Shion-sensei. I didn't want to disappoint you, so I pretended to be a witch with a second personality. I wanted you to think that it wasn't me who was useless, but the witch version of me. I was wrong, I'll never do it again. Please don't kill me..."

　I wasn't satisfied with the result until now, and it's only now that I've revised it. Please allow me to keep this draft in reserve...
