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

Zhan Ye always thought he was "worldly".

During her magical girl training, the company provided her with a large amount of reference materials, including textual and pictorial records of hundreds of magical girls' ascension.

Each of them was referred to as a "genius" in the textbooks.

However, none of them exhibited the strange phenomena that Zhan Ye was witnessing at this moment.

When breaking through to the Feather Transformation level, a phantom image of wings made of magic power will indeed appear behind the magical girl. This is a normal result of the magical power of a magical girl expanding in a very short period of time.

But... why are her wings able to light up this sky?

And why are her wings four colors?

"Witch," Zhan Ye invoked the being she loathed, "could it be that she actually possesses four different types of innate magic?"

[...Where is the midnight sun? Why hasn't she arrived yet?]

The incessant chatterer chose to give an irrelevant answer.

"Lady Polar Day has her own rhythm," Zhan Ye replied firmly, then continued to inquire.

"Answer me, how many kinds of innate magic does she possess?"

Although I never really expected anything from you... it turns out that getting rid of a maid isn't that simple.

[Well, they have their reasons for not coming during the midnight sun. It seems I've lost this round.]

Goodbye, my "sisters".

The murmurs in my ear suddenly disappeared.

The mind, which was sliding toward despair due to delirium, gradually stabilized with the departure of that being.

She's further away from becoming a witch, which should be something to be happy about, but...

A new despair arose in Zhan Ye's heart.

"Even She thought I couldn't win? She wasn't even willing to tell me how many innate spells she possessed before leaving?"

No! She won't lose!

Both being at the Feather Transformation level, she was more experienced, and with her prosthetic body that could counter her opponent's innate magic and her carefully prepared strategy, how could Zhan Ye possibly lose!

He gathered all his magical power and charged into the sky with his sword at the fastest speed he could ever go.

She was determined to win this attack; even if she couldn't secure victory with it, she would still bring it down from the sky.

boom!

A moment later, she was slapped onto the hillside.

And that aloof, red-eyed girl—

He simply stretched out one hand and pressed it down.

【Second of My Destiny's Magic: Revealing the Secrets of the Past - Across the Horizons】

Looking at Zhan Ye struggling to his feet, Xu Ting said:

"Don't you find it strange that you were able to dodge this attack even though you had already micronized the affected area?"

"The answer is simple: by covering the entire area with magic, I can change the speed and direction of all the particles."

"Doing this is a huge waste of magic, but magic is the last thing I need right now."

"Stop pretending to explain; how many times can you use this trick!"

Zhan Ye was not seriously injured by this move; Zong Heng only changed her speed and direction. The magic shield around her could withstand the impact of crashing into the mountain road.

Xu Ting also gave her response to this.

"Then I'll try a different approach."

Then thunder roared in.

Purple lightning burst forth from Xu Ting's palm, tearing the night sky into tattered silk.

Because he was prepared, Zhanye avoided the first bolt of lightning.

However, she failed to dodge 12 of the subsequent 35 lightning bolts.

Xu Ting lowered his right hand and made an assessment in his mind—

The magic power consumption of the gun-version magic revealed by Gufa was too great. If she didn't have extremely amazing magic power, she would have been drained by Gufa in no time.

Moreover, these are ultimately other people's magic, which one cannot precisely master.

She could control the effects of the Eye of Fear with perfect ease, ensuring that every bit of magic was used where it was needed.

However, whether she uses the Horizontal and Vertical or the Purple Lightning, once the scale of the magic rises to the Feathering level, she must use a massive amount of magic power to enhance the simulated magic to ensure that it has a normal effect.

Miracles can only be achieved with great force.

If Wu Qingshuang herself were to use Purple Lightning, she could hit at least thirty times, and achieve the same effect with only one-fifth of her magic power.

Of course, at this point, Wu Qingshuang might not even have one-fiftieth of Xu Ting's magic power.

In addition to magic power, Xu Ting also needs to consume rage to use the Ancient Law Revealed.

However, after Xu Ting broke through to the Feather Transformation level and discovered that she could crush Zhan Ye, her original anger dissipated to almost nothing.

After all, she was long past the age of getting angry at creatures she couldn't retaliate against.

Xu Ting observed with great interest, but Zhan Ye, who was struck by the sword, was not so relaxed.

Zhan Ye's entire body is made of conductive prosthetics, giving her a "three times weaker electrical" effect. After being struck by purple lightning, the prosthetics that make up her body are completely destroyed.

However, her core magic was not decisively damaged.

Zhanye exerted all his strength, extracting the last bit of magic power from the core of magic and activating the magic within his body.

"Prosthetic bodies... are part of my limbs, and they will regenerate indefinitely!"

Zhanye spoke using the newly restored vocalization component.

Her tone was firm.

Her resolute tone made it seem less like she was speaking to Xu Ting and more like she was speaking to herself.

The torso has recovered.

Arm, recovered;

Thigh, recovered;

In a little while, her remaining hands, calves, feet, and internal components will also be repaired.

But before that, her visual system regained its function—

Then she saw Xu Ting standing in front of her.

Xu Ting stood beside Zhan Ye, who was lying on the ground, and calmly watched her.

“Sever your karmic ties,” Xu Ting said. “From my standpoint, I should hate you.”

"But seeing you now, I only feel sorry for you."

"Of course, perhaps 'pathetic' would be a more appropriate word."

She didn't interrupt Zhan Ye's self-healing process, but simply concluded:

"You abandoned your healthy body for scrap metal; you must have made this choice to gain something, but in the end, you only gained nothing."

Shut up, shut up, shut up! My choice was right. Don't act like a victor and condescendingly judge me!

Zhan Ye wanted to say something, but seeing Xu Ting's calm expression, she ultimately couldn't say anything.

She seems to be—

"You're scared," Xu Ting said. "I switched the magic back to [Eye of Fear], so I can feel your fear."

"The magic I poured in before was completely used up in that failed 'leave' command, so you are not afraid of my magic."

"You are afraid because of me."

Zhan Ye gritted his teeth and forced out the answer:

"So what! I already have a custodian system to stop your magic. I may be afraid, but it won't hinder my fight."

Xu Ting shook his head:

"But there are some things that prosthetics can never take care of."

"【Stop regeneration】."

The girl parted her lips slightly and issued an inviolable decree.

Zhan Ye then collapsed completely to the ground.

She gave it her all and finally proved the fact that everyone except her had already accepted—

"You can't beat me after I've ascended to immortality," Xu Ting said.
