After get off work, I become a magical girl

There is no doubt that Xia Liang is very talented as a magical girl. Even though she has only studied for a few days and this is her first time participating in a battle, she seems to have a natural intuition to find the right position and use magic to attack the remaining beasts from a distance.

Lin Xiaolu is much inferior in comparison, but she is still brave and has relatively rich combat experience as a newcomer. She uses a relatively highly mobile close combat mode to actively look for the weaknesses of the remaining beasts.

If these two people were to fight alone, they would probably have a chance to take down the crippled beast alone, and it might be easier than it is now.

But when they formed a team and needed to cooperate with each other to fight, because they tended to use different fighting styles and had no awareness of cooperating with teammates, the final effect was a mess.

Chapter 19 Things Falling Like Rain

2023-04-30

The battle between the crippled beast and the magical girl was a process of one gaining and the other losing. After the two magical girls consumed a lot of physical strength and magic power due to low-level coordination errors, the crippled beast got a chance to catch its breath and gradually gained the upper hand.

The mucus on the surface of the cavity-dissolving beast and its amorphous body gave them a strong ability to recover, and they could slowly recover while being attacked. So although this beast was in a passive state, it had not suffered fatal damage.

When the magical girl's fire suppression gradually became less intense, it began its counterattack with its combat power still intact.

The sign was that Lin Xiaolu, who had been moving around the crippled beast, suddenly felt that the range of the crippled beast's slapping the ground had become larger. It was becoming difficult for her to dodge its attacks.

She looked up and saw that the beast had covered its claws with a lot of mucus to increase the contact area when it struck. Even if she was not hit by the claws, she would be stuck if the mucus touched her body.

In addition, as the attacks of the remnant beast frequently fell to the ground, the mucus quickly soaked the ground around it, causing it to crawl forward faster. Its huge body gradually began to show unusual maneuverability, making it difficult for Xia Liang, who had been conducting long-range fire suppression in the air, to hit the target.

If they had enough magic power, Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang could have squandered their magic power wantonly and forced themselves to speed up to keep up with the movements of the crippled beast. But in this situation, wasting magic power in vain and failing to make a quick decision would only put the battle in a more disadvantageous situation.

Therefore, the two magical girls, who had been fighting on their own before, had to start thinking about plans for cooperation.

"Hey, that guy over there!"

While dodging the attacks of the remnant beast, Lin Xiaolu shouted to Xia Liang in the sky: "Do you have enough magic power?"

"magic?"

He fired another magic beam, which splashed on the head of the remnant beast. Xia Liang looked puzzled and said, "Yes, there is. Xiaolu, do you have any ideas?"

"Don't call me so intimately, we are not that close!"

Following the claws of the beast stuck in the asphalt, Lin Xiaolu ran back into the air: "If I have magic power, I will lead it to reveal its weakness, and you will find an opportunity to hit it with all your strength."

"Will you let me attack?"

Xia Liang blinked, then smiled knowingly: "Ah, so you mean that your magic power is not enough for attacking?"

"You are such a disgusting person!"

Lin Xiaolu retorted angrily, but she did not deny it. Although she disliked Xia Liang, she also knew that things had to be prioritized. Then she turned around and flew out of the range of the crippled beast.

The self-recovery ability of the cavity-dissolving beast is very strong, but it is not without weaknesses. Its common weaknesses are the mouth and abdomen. Because this kind of beast is usually in a prone position, it is not easy to attack the abdomen, so the most valuable operation is actually to attack the mouth.

The most direct way to lure it into revealing this weakness is to let it use the cavity to attack.

Once the cavity is used, because of the location of the cavity, it must be raised and opened, and stop moving.

With this in mind, Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang restrained their use of magic power, reduced the frequency of attacks, and stopped wasting it. At the same time, they also induced the remaining beasts to attack more.

This strategy soon took effect. When the remaining beasts found that they were not likely to be hurt, they attacked more and more frequently and became more and more careless about their own protection.

Until it completely gave up its defense, and when Lin Xiaolu deliberately exposed its flaw, it chose to use the dissolution cavity.

With its head raised high, the cavity in the chest of the crippled beast also contracted, transporting the body fluids in its organs like a powerful water pump, mixed with a large amount of magic power, and converging to the jet outlet on its lower jaw.

"Goooooooooooooooooooo!"

Along with a violent roar, several huge liquid shells were fired from its lower jaw.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Xiaolu kept running near the ground, leaving the water cannon behind her. The empty shells hit the road and sidewalks around her, creating huge holes.

She turned her head and shouted to Xia Liang in mid-air:

"Now! Shoot the magic beam into its mouth!"

"I know! Um...but it feels a little hard to control?"

Xia Liang, who had already found a good position, raised her wand high. The magic power far beyond that of an ordinary magical girl gathered in front of her, forming a ball of light that looked extremely unstable. "Anyway, let's give it a try."

Seizing the opportunity when the crippled beast was about to launch its water cannon, she pressed down her magic wand, and while the crippled beast had just finished its attack and its mouth was still wide open, she aimed at it and shot out the magic beam in front of her.

The attack speed of the purple magic beam was very fast. Before the crippled beast could react, it had already suddenly shot in front of it, and then hit it heavily.

Because of this, it was not until the moment the magic cannon hit that several people realized that the hit location was not right.

Their original plan was to hit the beast directly in the mouth, thereby damaging its internal tissues and causing irreversible damage.

But after the hit, several people discovered that this attack, which used up almost all of Xia Liang's magical power, did not seem to hit the expected location.

"Ah, it seems to have missed the target?"

Looking at his wand, Xia Liang smiled embarrassedly.

It’s off, but it’s not too far.

This was the judgment made by Delphinium on the side.

Because this beam of magic power hit near the dissolution cavity of the remaining beast.

The dissolution cavity of the remaining beast is covered with thick flesh like a tumor, and continuously secretes mucus to provide protection, so it is not the weakness of the remaining beast.

However, the location of this magic beam was very strange. It did not attack the outside of the dissolution cavity of the remaining beast, but finally hit the location of the ejection port.

The jet nozzle of the dissolution cavity is not considered a conventional weakness because it is a small target and difficult to hit, but it is actually the most vulnerable part of its body.

So it died.

A violent flow of magic power poured directly into the crippled beast from the jet outlet on its lower jaw. The hibiscus purple magic power emitted a dazzling light and burst out from its body, completely piercing it.

The crippled beast didn't even have time to react before this beam of magic destroyed all of its tissues, killing it instantly.

There is no doubt that although it deviated from the original goal, the role it played was still very crucial.

Delphinium, who was standing nearby, thought so.

Even if there were some accidents along the way, the beast was successfully defeated in the end, so it’s understandable that the shot missed... right?

Her thoughts suddenly stopped.

As the magic power completely penetrated the cavity of the remnant beast, she suddenly remembered something:

The liquid in the dissolution cavity is usually compressed within the body by the physiological activities of the dissolution cavity and the magic power of the remaining beast. Once the remaining beast dies, the dissolution cavity is damaged and loses its original physiological function. What will happen next?

The pupils gradually contracted, and a look of disgust appeared on her face almost uncontrollably. Delphinium immediately shouted at the two magical girls in the air:

"Idiot, get out of the way!"

After she finished speaking, she did not stop, but scattered her magic power and jumped up. With a sound of breaking through the air, she retreated dozens of meters almost instantly.

But the two magical girls next to the crippled beast were not so lucky.

Xia Liang had just used up a large amount of magic power to shoot out a magic beam, and had not yet been able to regain his rhythm; Lin Xiaolu had been running on the ground, and not only did she not react to what Cuiqiao was saying, she also did not understand her current situation.

So, the next moment, the remaining beast that was pierced by Xia Liang exploded.

It literally exploded, its entire body exploding like fireworks.

What followed was the foul-smelling mucus that had been stored and compressed in its body, which also sprayed into the air and fell from the sky like a rainstorm.

This kind of mucus itself has no lethality. It can only form an effective attack after being compressed and ejected by the remnant beast. Therefore, even if it falls on the human body at this moment, it will not cause any harm.

The only problem is that this mucus is, after all, a mixture of undigested biological tissue and residual animal fluids, so it has one characteristic: it really stinks.

“Aaaaaaaaaaa——”

Under the scorching sun at noon, the foul-smelling slime splashed onto the two magical girls, causing miserable screams.

Chapter 20 Go to your house

2023-04-30

“Ouch… Ugh, Ugh… Ouch… Ouch…”

After the dust settled after the battle, Lin Xiaolu knelt on the ground, retching continuously with tears in the corners of her eyes.

From the moment she was drenched in the foul-smelling tissue fluid, she vomited into a ball on the ground, then began to cry loudly. After crying for a while, she began to dry heave again, and then cried again until her tears were streaming down her face.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Delphinium squatted beside her and gently patted her back, comforting her in a cold and gentle voice: "It just stinks a little, and no one else has seen it. Go home and take a good bath to get rid of the smell."

Seeing her daughter being tortured like this, it was really hard for Cuique not to feel distressed.

So even though comforting like this was a bit contrary to her character, she couldn't help but do it.

“Delphinium… Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh… Ugh…”

Lin Xiaolu looked at Delphinium with tearful eyes, but before she could say two words, she couldn't help retching again.

Xia Liang, who was not far away, was not much better. She was leaning on the traffic light pole by the roadside, looking pale. However, she had a stronger will than Lin Xiaolu. After retching a few times at the beginning, she relied on her strong self-control to hold back her physiological reaction and did not vomit on the spot. She still maintained her proper reserve.

The sour smell at the scene was so stinking that even a magical girl like Delphinium, who had experienced many battles and had seen all kinds of dirty battlefields, felt a little nauseous. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with her hands.

After squatting beside Lin Xiaolu for a while and realizing that she would not get better for a while, Kuei-ching flew to Xia Liang again and asked with some concern, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Well...it feels much better than it did at the beginning."

Xia Liang covered his mouth with a bitter look on his face, forcing a smile on his face: "It's just that the sticky feeling on my head is a bit uncomfortable. Little senior, can you use water magic or something like that?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about this."

Delphinium tells the truth.

The "water magic" that Xia Liang mentioned actually exists, and is usually called the "water-generating ritual", but this ritual is not within the control of Cuiqiao.

For magical girls, once their abilities have reached the Leaf stage, using spells will become one of their basic abilities. However, if they want to become proficient and master a variety of spells, they still need to spend a lot of time studying and researching.

Lin Yun had little interest in learning techniques before, and simply learned some of the most basic items to assist in combat, and did not put in any more effort. He actually did not master many techniques.

But the current situation does not necessarily require the use of the water-generating technique, so Cuique waited for a while, and when Lin Xiaolu's condition improved slightly, he suggested to the two of them:

"Now that the remaining beast has been dealt with, you can go home and wash up, and then have a good rest."
