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

A magical ability that allows free manipulation of inorganic matter, capable of traversing vast distances.

If Jiang Chenglian were to cast the spell, she wouldn't be able to shake Zhan Ye's power, but for Xu Ting, breaking through Zhan Ye's protective shield with magic power is not an impossible task.

Especially when Zhan Ye loses his composure due to anger.

Caught off guard, Zhan Ye was pulled into the sea of ​​fire she had created herself.

Similarly, driven by her anger, she unleashed her full power, creating the most destructive sea of ​​fire.

This also caused Zhanye considerable damage.

Magical girls can be harmed by their own magic, as demonstrated when Wu Qing Shuang shocked herself with ball lightning.

At this moment, Zhan Ye was even more disheveled than Wu Qing Shuang was back then.

The flames of magic are no ordinary flames. Zhan Ye can move freely in ordinary seas of fire, but she cannot escape the fate of burning her own prosthetic body to the point of melting.

Metals have very high thermal conductivity.

"Sever your karmic ties, and enjoy it," Xu Ting thought to himself.

Faced with the flames, Zhan Ye instinctively used his magic to protect himself.

However, since the flames were created by her own magic and she had a magic shield immunity, this did not achieve the desired effect.

By the time she realized this and added flame-blocking capabilities to her shield, Xu Ting had already escaped the inferno.

The flames were dispelled by the demonic energy, and the body, which had been scorched and deformed, slowly recovered due to the effects of the magic core.

She escaped outside the temple.

The witch's murmurs echoed in Zhan Ye's ears.

Zhan Ye felt a surge of disgust, but she had no choice but to rely on the witch's voice in her ear for guidance.

She flew out of the temple, but Xu Ting was nowhere to be seen on the mountain path.

She concealed herself with magic.

The Starry Night Servant then revealed Xu Ting's location.

Is it the magic of invisibility?

Zhan Ye knew that one of the enemy's teammates was skilled in invisibility magic, and she had a countermeasure based on this.

She switched her right hand to particle mode, and the particles that hadn't been destroyed by the flames began scanning the mountain road.

She quickly located Xu Ting's position.

Then, she picked up the longsword provided to her by the company and slashed at the detected location.

clang--

Xu Ting revealed himself from his concealment, his scythe and longsword clashing together, sparking intense flames.

No, it's not just sparks.

The two magics clashed and devoured each other as their swords clashed. Blue tore at red, and red resisted red, causing a dazzling light to burst forth on the dark mountain road, illuminating the night.

The two separated, and this attack failed.

In this brief magical clash, Xu Ting surprisingly gained the upper hand.

"This is the blue magic that Hokane saw..."

Zhanye muttered to himself.

"Two innate magical abilities... imitating the power of others... As expected, you are a threat to the Heavenly Will Group!"

"It seems you know quite a bit. That Star Servant really enjoys gossiping and spreading rumors." Xu Ting held his scythe horizontally in front of him.

"Hmph." Zhan Ye pointed the tip of his sword at Xu Ting.

"I also know that you can't even lift your hand anymore, and you can't withstand more sword strikes."

After saying that, she stepped forward again and fought Xu Ting at close range with extremely high frequency.

Zhan Ye is right.

I really can barely lift my arms anymore.

His own body was too fragile. Every slash from Zhan Ye would tear his muscles apart, and every heavy blow from his opponent would make Xu Ting's joints make an ominous cracking sound.

There was a time when Xu Ting relied on his powerful close-combat skills to dominate Zhan Ye in the factory.

But now everything has turned around. Without the protection of the wooden talisman, Xu Ting is completely weaker than Zhan Ye in close combat.

Moreover, the power of cutting karma is greater than it was in the factory.

Xu Ting could tell that Zhan Ye's attacks were more than twice as fierce as before, which was probably thanks to her new prosthetic body.

We'll lose if we continue like this.

Xu Ting once again used the same method to reveal the simulation of Zongheng, attempting to manipulate Zhan Ye's body and expose his weaknesses in close combat.

but--

"It's no use, my body is no longer a single piece."

Whenever Xu Ting's magic breaks through Zhan Ye's shield and touches Zhan Ye's body, the latter will transform the corresponding part into a particle form.

The vertical and horizontal axes can only grasp a single particle, unable to affect the overall nature of the attack.

Moreover, because Xu Ting was distracted while casting her spell, she exposed an even bigger flaw and was kicked in the chest by Zhan Ye.

boom!

Xu Ting was kicked dozens of meters away, and due to the elevation difference of the mountain road, she fell vertically for a full twenty meters.

Because of a kick to the chest, Xu Ting failed to complete the fall maneuver and landed hard on the mountain road.

The combined impact from both ends resulted in Xu Ting suffering the most severe injuries since becoming a magical girl.

Even with her back on the ground facing the sky, a large amount of blood still flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Fractured sternum.

Internal organs are damaged.

The broken bone almost pierced his heart.

In that instant, she almost succumbed to the pain and collapsed on the mountain road, never to rise again.

But in the end, her fighting spirit and survival instinct prevailed, allowing her to climb back up from the mountain path.

That's why she was able to react in time when Zhan Ye's follow-up attack arrived.

The sickle blocked the longsword.

Xu Ting's magic turned red again and began to bypass Zhan Ye's longsword, attacking the latter's body.

As long as the Eye of Fear controls the Slash of Karma, the tide of battle can be turned!

"You want to control me with fear, don't you?"

However, Zhan Ye revealed Xu Ting's intentions.

This made the latter realize that something was wrong.

Xu Ting's magic was not hindered much and successfully invaded Zhan Ye's body and touched Zhan Ye's mind.

The Eye of Fear relayed a message: Xu Ting could now issue a forced command to Zhan Ye.

But Zhan Ye still stared fiercely at Xu Ting, a hint of smugness hidden in his eyes.

What makes her able to ignore the control of the Eye of Fear?

Xu Ting frowned; in such a fierce battle, she didn't have much time to think.

As Xu Ting invaded Zhan Ye's body, Zhan Ye's longsword continued its attack.

The attacks grew increasingly fierce, making it even more difficult for the already seriously injured Xu Ting to resist.

"【leave】!"

Left with no other choice, Xu Ting could only activate the magic that had invaded Zhan Ye's body, ordering him to distance himself from him.

Xu Ting's eyes lit up, and the Eye of Fear was successfully activated.

But Zhan Ye's offensive intensified.

"Hahaha, just as I expected!"

Zhan Ye swung his sword wildly, his expression one of madness and delusion.

"As expected, you can't order me to do things I can't do, just like you can't make a cripple stand up; even if you control him, he can only crawl on the ground!"

The longsword once again deflected the scythe's parry, slashing Xu Ting's arm.

"But I've already programmed the prosthetics with instructions. When I do something that doesn't conform to the preset commands, they'll immediately enter a controlled mode, forcing me to continue attacking you!"

"Hahahaha, your magic is completely ineffective against me now!"

【here you go.】

The witch's murmurs reached my ears.

Pierce her heart, kill her completely, take her life, erase her future, destroy her possibilities.

"I would have done it even without you telling me!"

Zhan Ye's body is enduring extreme pain. In the custody mode, the magic core begins to treat the prosthetic body as a foreign object, causing her flesh to attack each other and rushing towards complete collapse.

But if it means killing the girl in front of me, it's all worth it.

Kill her, and my shame will be washed away;

Kill her, and you can reclaim your right to continue being a magical girl!

Zhan Ye stared at everything with a frenzied madness. The girl before him had no means of retaliating. Her scythe had been knocked out of her hand, and his longsword was about to pierce the girl's heart completely, following its predetermined trajectory.

"it's over!"

She watched as the longsword pierced Xu Ting's chest, and made a triumphant announcement.

--"not yet."

Xu Ting gripped the sword that had pierced his chest.

"【The Revealing of the Ancient Laws: Karmic Flames】".

With her last bit of strength, she recited the name of the move.

Then, karmic flames, burning away all evil, ignited from the sword, completely enveloping the two magical girls.

The reckoning for the sins began with the two magical girls.
