She was being hunted down, so she became a magical girl.

Upon learning that Zhan Ye had already engaged in battle with Huan Guang Jiang Cheng, Xu Ting sensed that something was terribly wrong.

Although she was determined to cut off all ties, she would probably hold back to give Xu Ting time to arrive.

But Huan Guang's mindset wouldn't allow for such a future.

If the situation becomes extremely unfavorable, she will try to risk her "cheap life" to fight back.

Therefore, Xu Ting could not hesitate for even a moment and had to make a decision immediately.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Miyan, I have to go rescue Huanguang and the others," Xu Ting said.

"Please tell me the location of the control room, thank you."

From the perspective of Miyan, Xu Ting's choice undoubtedly added more risks for her.

If they abandon the illusion and escape the floating island, the myth will survive.

However, Xu Ting chose to rescue Huan Guang, and without the protection of the magical girl, Mi Yan had no choice but to continue hiding in the underground passage, which added many risks to her life.

Moreover, Xu Ting's level is lower than Zhan Ye's. If Xu Ting also loses the battle, Mi Yan will be completely isolated and helpless, and his death will be virtually certain.

"Are you really sure?"

Upon hearing Xu Ting's choice, Mi Yan asked the same question they had asked each other during their last meeting.

"I'm confident," Xu Ting said solemnly. "Please trust me one more time."

Mi Yan smiled:

"The control room is just two corners ahead. There's a hidden mechanism there. I'll take you there."

"That's enough, there's no need to make things so complicated," Xu Ting said.

She then activated the Ancient Law Reveal, recreating Wu Qingshuang's innate magic, [Purple Lightning].

This was a magic spell that could hack into electronic systems. After spending some time familiarizing himself with its usage, Xu Ting successfully hacked into the surveillance system in the underground passage and thus confirmed Zhan Ye's location.

After that, things became much simpler.

When Xu Ting arrived at the scene, he saw through the surveillance camera that Huan Guang was activating the gravity collapse device with the intention of taking Zhan Ye down with him.

So she quickly cut off the Purple Lightning and reproduced Jiang Cheng's innate magic, [Vertical and Horizontal], pulling the illusion back at the last moment.

And with the crow's critical resistance, it passed through the wall of fire unharmed and threw the gravity collapse device over.

"Actually, the gravity collapse device should not have been given to Huanguang in the first place."

Xu Ting was conducting a self-examination.

"The main body of the gravity collapse device is metal, which is something that Zongheng can manipulate. In fact, it should be used by Jiang Chenglian."

"She can definitely control the gravity collapse device to fly towards the enemy like I can, without having Phantom sacrifice herself."

But she still gave the gravity collapse device to Huanguang.

"...Because the gravity collapse device is too dangerous, if Jiang Chenglian doesn't control the distance well, he will injure himself."

So she gave the collapse device to Huan Guang, leaving the latter to bear the risk of misuse.

"How despicable, Xu Ting." She felt contempt for herself.

The scene before her eyes seemed to confirm her suspicions.

Even though the gravity collapse device was detonated near Zhan Ye at the other end of the passage, the entire passage began to shake and even collapse due to the damage. Judging from Jiang Chenglian's panicked expression, she had not expected the collapse device to be so powerful.

"Hurry up and go."

Xu Ting continued to urge the vertical and horizontal movement, grabbed the two magical girls and fled. Although the girls had few points of leverage, he was still able to drag them if they did not resist.

They ran for hundreds or even thousands of meters, from the central underground section to the bottom, closer to the exit, before finally stopping.

Being able to run this far clearly means that the wall of fire that was blocking them has disappeared.

After being hit head-on by the gravity collapse device, Zhan Ye lost control of [Ye Yan].

Xu Ting witnessed the collapse device activate from Zhan Ye's waist, slowly but irresistibly pulverizing the latter's body. Even though she protected her head with magic, most of her prosthetic body was completely destroyed.

Since Zhan Ye couldn't repair her prosthetic body out of thin air, she no longer had the ability to pursue him.

After confirming the matter, the flames of anger in Xu Ting's heart were completely extinguished.

Without anger, the law could not be used, and Xu Ting lost his ability to maneuver. As a result, Huan Guang and Jiang Chenglian, the two girls, were caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Because Huan Guang had no hands to support her weight, she fell even harder.

"You wretch! You should have told me before you let go! You heartless bastard!" Fortunately, judging from her loud and energetic shouts, her injuries were not serious.

"Illusionary Light." Mysterious Words emerged from the hidden control room. "Your hand again..."

"My Lord Miyan!" Huan Guang sprang to his feet and gave Miyan a warm hug.

"Thank goodness you're alright. Ya Ya was so worried about you."

"Yes, I'm fine, thanks to you all." Mi Yan gently stroked Huan Guang's little head, but her eyes were fixed on Huan Guang's severed hand with a pained look.

"Let's get back to a safe place for treatment quickly. Your hand is my precious treasure."

"Hehe." Huan Guang let out a laugh that sounded rather foolish. "I'm used to losing my hands. This is my retribution for stealing."

"There's no such thing as retribution in this world..." Mi Yan said helplessly.

If there were such a thing as retribution, Tianyi Group would have destroyed itself long ago.

It is precisely because there is no retribution in the world that she wants to become the retribution for Tianyi Group.

"This must be Miss Yunyi." Miyan released the illusion and said to Jiang Chenglian, "Shaohua has never mentioned you to me, just as she has never mentioned her other comrades to me."

Jiang Chenglian generously extended his hand and said, "Senior Shaohua did mention you to me beforehand; she called you 'the second greatest hope.'"

"I am the biggest."

Jiang Chenglian's negotiation skills are terrible... Xu Ting thought helplessly.

"There's no time to talk about this now, let's get going and leave," Xu Ting said. "Tianyi Group has more than just Zhanye."

"The one who lost his color is right." Mi Yan looked at Xu Ting with relief and said, "We still have a lot of time to talk."

The group immediately ran towards the exit.

Soon, they reached the bottom of the floating island, just two corners away from escaping.

But then a very ominous sound came from above.

boom--

The ominous sound pierced the ceiling, bringing with it sand, bricks, rubble, steel bars, and a resurrected, formidable enemy.

The person who broke through the tunnel from above was none other than Zhan Ye, a magical girl from the Tianyi Group.

Despite having her prosthetic body destroyed by the gravity collapse device, she stands unharmed in the air, surrounded by blazing flames.

"Are you surprised to see I'm alright?"

Zhan Ye's expression was contorted with pleasure and rage.

"Unfortunately, I've already replaced my body with a prosthetic body more suitable for magical girls. These machines have become a part of me, the essence of my soul..."

"They are extensions of my limbs."

"Therefore, they will naturally regenerate indefinitely! Until I die!"
