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

Gray Raven's innate magic is called [Cursed Doll].

Before the two decided to fight Zhan Ye, she told Xu Ting the name and made a promise with him.

If Xu Ting obtains Zhan Ye's body tissue during the battle, please give it to Gray Raven as soon as possible.

No matter how badly Gray Raven is beaten, Xu Ting must do this. Gray Raven will try its best to create cursed dolls for the enemy, giving Xu Ting a chance to win.

So, General Xu Ting flicked the blood from his sword at the gray crow.

Zhan Ye was terrified by that slash and scrambled away from the place, thus losing his last chance to stop Gray Raven.

If she had lingered even a second longer like Xu Ting, she could have seen the silk thread between the fingers of the gray crow on the ground.

The threads are slowly intertwining, weaving a cursed doll that severs karma.

Gray Raven kept her promise; she truly used her magic with all her might, even channeling the karmic flames within her.

"You're already doomed."

After cutting off Zhan Ye's left hand, Xu Ting put down his military knife and said coldly.

"Your crimes are no less than those of the thugs in our lower city. Ye Yan will burn you without discrimination, crippling your ability to resist."

"So, how do you plan to die?"

"The drone was completely destroyed. Even if you go back, you'll be considered incompetent and fired."

"You should know better than me what happens to people who are fired from Tianyi Group."

She raised her saber once more, aiming it at the core of Zhan Ye's magic.

"But I don't intend to let you off the hook."

"Be thankful, dying at my hands is much better than being tortured by the Tianyi Group."

Zhanye has never been so close to death.

But what she cared about most wasn't death, but the reality she could only escape by numbing herself with anger and pain—

She ruined Tianyi Group's plans.

This shouldn't be the case. I already have enough qualifications; I only need to go through the motions to be approved for promotion to the [Ringed Wish Level].

But why would this scene ruin everything for her?

Tianyi Group will not let this go.

Zanya's parents were just low-level employees. She was chosen as a magical girl entirely because of her hard work and her decision to "undergo cybernetic modifications".

Unless someone at higher level is willing to step in to protect her, she will definitely have her powers confiscated, be removed from her position, and ultimately become a lab rat.

The thought of such a fate made her tremble.

Perhaps dying here would be better than being tortured by the Tianyi Group...

"You've finally come to confront this fear."

Xu Ting withdrew the glowing magic, and the golden light on the saber vanished instantly.

She stared at the other person with bloodshot eyes and said:

"Stop your [Karmic Flame], and then—"

He raised his right little finger.

"Get as far away from me as possible."

After she finished speaking, all her magic was instantly drained, and her flight magic could no longer be maintained, causing her to fall heavily to the ground.

Looking at the scene before him, Zhan Ye realized that Xu Ting had already exhausted his strength.

But to her astonishment, she found herself unable to attack Xu Ting, and instead turned and flew towards the inner area.

Fly to the inner area, fly out of the ceiling, fly into the distance...

She was powerless to resist and could only obey the Eye of Fear's commands until the magic power that sustained the spell was exhausted.

Xu Ting struggled to his feet and walked toward the location of the gray crow.

She supported her right arm and said weakly:

"Crow, scan the surroundings for me. If there are any enemies, let me know immediately."

Using the Eye of Fear beyond one's level is still too difficult.

Even though the other party was already filled with fear, the magical girl's magic resistance was able to prevent the magic from taking effect.

The Eye of Fear can only recognize a target as effective once the fear of severing karma has reached a sufficient level.

However, issuing commands would consume a huge amount of magic power.

Even though "stop the karmic flames" and "escape" were already thoughts in Zhan Ye's mind, they could reduce a lot of magic power consumption...

But Xu Ting's magic was still drained by these two orders.

What a wonderful world it would be if everyone were like the cult leader, without any magical resistance, and could commit suicide at will.

Xu Ting sighed.

A crow with many feathers burned off flapped its wings and flew over.

There are no enemies around.

"The employees of Tianyi Group know best how powerful magical girls are. Zhanye has already run away, so they can't possibly have any will to fight."

"Xu Ting, I've helped you a lot this time, you should thank me properly."

Xu Ting pursed his lips and limped forward:

"Grey Raven's Illusion Light was also a great help..."

"How can that be the same?" the crow said discontentedly. "Whether they want it or not is none of my business, I just want your thanks."

"Tsk."

Xu Ting walked in silence for a while, then suddenly said:

"This time, we really owe you a debt of gratitude, Lord Black Phoenix."

The crow turned its head sharply and said incredulously:

"What did you just call me?"

"I'll call you Crow." Xu Ting couldn't help but distort history.

But this obviously didn't affect the crow's memory. This wicked contracted beast, roasted by the fire, happily flapped its wings, flying around Xu Ting while chuckling foolishly.

At this point, even Xu Ting felt a pang of conscience.

You dismissed it with just one word, "Black Phoenix"... How about we call it "Black Phoenix" for three days, considering how much you helped us today?

Forget it, shouting for a whole day is about enough.

...Wouldn't half a day be enough? If I shout too much, won't it take advantage of me?

Filled with the chaotic thoughts that come with extreme tension, Xu Ting walked towards Gray Crow and Illusion Light.

After the karmic flames on their bodies disappeared, Illusion and Gray Raven knew the outcome of the battle.

Upon meeting, Huan Guang, who was in slightly better condition, excitedly rushed forward to greet him:

"You're amazing, you color-loss person!"

"When we both got infected and collapsed, I really thought we were done for."

"At that moment, I kept thinking to myself, 'We're doomed, we're doomed, can a fairy descend from the sky and save us?'"

"Now I realize, you're the real fairy sister!"

Huan Guang's overly enthusiastic performance left Xu Ting feeling rather helpless.

She never imagined that she would be called a "fairy" in her lifetime.

Being called a "devil" is the norm.

"The Colorless One... we really owe you this time..." the gray crow on the ground said weakly.

Even though she was seriously injured, she wanted to get up and express her gratitude.

Xu Ting quickly stopped her.

The wounds on the gray crow's body were burned by the karmic flames, so there was no need to stop the bleeding.

Xu Ting quickly treated her and then picked her up in his arms.

After being picked up, Gray Raven quickly fell asleep, while Illusion Light was full of energy.

She followed closely behind Xu Ting, swaying left and right.

"You who have lost your color, do you need my help?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot I don't have hands."

Phantom Light's ability to stir up trouble is no less than that of Crow.

"If you have nothing better to do, you can use invisibility magic to hide us."

Xu Ting said irritably,

"There should still be some guards left in the factory."

Huan Guang unleashed his full power, and Xu Ting gradually became transparent from his feet upwards... until he got stuck on his neck.

"Um... I'm sorry, I don't have enough magic power, this is all I can do."

Huan Guang said apologetically.

When he's being cheeky, he's full of energy; when he's doing things, he's full of mistakes. No wonder Gray Raven has a higher position under Mysterious Words than Illusion Light.

Xu Ting is a prophet, so she should use Gray Raven instead of Illusionary Light.

"Dispel the spell," Xu Tingzhang sighed. "There's no point in being able to become completely invisible."

Huan Guang responded with a shout, looked around, and suddenly spoke:

"Hey, you colorless one, all you have left is your head floating in the sky."

"That's kind of scary."

"Why don't we not deactivate it? Those guards will be scared away when they see you. Don't you think that would also help avoid battle?"

Xu Ting took a deep breath, turned around abruptly, and roared:

"Remove it!"

......

The subsequent evacuation went so smoothly that even Xu Ting couldn't have imagined it.

Both Gray Raven and Illusion were severely injured; the former was unable to move, and the latter's invisibility magic was so weak that it could not hide three people at the same time.

But Xu Ting was able to carry Gray Raven and Huan Guang away from the factory with an air of nonchalance.

There was no obstruction at all.

The guards of Tianyi Group lost all will to fight after seeing Zhan Ye escape.

In their eyes, rushing to stop Xu Ting would mean facing a powerful enemy who had defeated Zhan Ye, and would almost certainly result in death.

But giving up the obstruction would not only save his life, but also prevent him from losing his job.

Ordinary employees are no match for magical girls, so the person most responsible will be Zhan Ye.

After evacuating the factory, Mi Yan's other subordinates rushed to meet them.

They brought the three magical girls back to their base and, without saying a word, put them to separate hospital beds.

Despite Xu Ting's repeated insistence that he was fine, he was still forced to undergo a series of examinations.

The doctor finally concluded—

"It's a minor fall; applying some medicated wine will do the trick."

"Your weight is the most serious issue."

The experienced female doctor sighed and said bluntly:

"Miss Faded Beauty, your weight is significantly below normal."

"You should eat more nutritious food and get more sleep. Use nutritional injections sparingly. Don't follow your father's example. It's fine for adults to get nutritional injections, but teenagers really need a normal diet."

It's no use saying all this; I don't even know if I'll ever grow taller...

Xu Ting gave the female doctor a perfunctory reply and asked:

"How are Gray Raven and Phantom Light doing?"

"Huan Guang is alright. I have limb regeneration technology, and she can grow her hands back in one night."

"But the grey crow..."

The female doctor sighed and said:

"Grey Raven's body was already extremely weak. She almost turned into a witch back then. When I found her, she had already destroyed her own magic core."

"Now that she's suffered such a serious injury, I don't even know if she'll ever recover..."

Judging from the doctor's tone, Xu Ting sensed something was wrong:

"You just said 'I found her'?"

The doctor nodded and stated bluntly:

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."

"I am a prophet."
