After get off work, I become a magical girl

"Thank you for your organization's appreciation, but I am not interested in leaving the city I am stationed in for the time being."

Cuiqiao was also on high alert: "Please leave Fangting City on your own."

"No point in talking any more!" Yuan kicked his feet, shouted loudly, and rushed forward fiercely, "The winner controls everything!"

After saying that, he ignored Semi's cry of "Don't act on your own" and started the battle again.

The black and blue magic power collided instantly. In the surging magic power, the two figures did not distance themselves from each other, but engaged in a fierce close combat. The ink-like liquid metal appeared extremely agile in Yuan's hands. The gun, sword, knife, dagger and other forms could be transformed freely. The moves were tricky and exquisite, making it extremely difficult to resist.

But the tricky moves did not put Kusanagi at a disadvantage. On the contrary, although she was a little passive, the silk threads in her hands also changed their shapes with the rhythm of Yuan, constantly interweaving different masterpieces. When the opponent stabbed, she defended; when the opponent slashed, she fought back. The two of them used swords against swords, spears against spears, and used similar weapons in different ways, fighting at a high speed that was difficult for ordinary people to catch with the naked eye.

Silk thread and ink, two magical pieces of equipment that do not look like weapons, are now enough to replace all weapons, launching a primitive and gorgeous battle.

"Actually... there is actually someone in this world who can fight this guy Yuan in close combat without losing?"

Semi, who was thrown aside by the fierce battle, steadied himself and looked at the battle scene not far away. He couldn't help but widen his cat eyes: "Am I dreaming?"

It was no wonder that it was surprised, because even within Claw Mark, Yuan was a well-known melee maniac, and her close combat ability was top-notch. Claw Mark had been established for so many years, and she had fought only a few times, but as long as she entered the realm of close combat, few people could withstand her violent attacks.

As for Cornflower, as a once famous magical girl, Semi knew that her active time was no more than three years. In other words, such a magical girl with only three years of front-line combat experience tied with Yuan in close combat.

Of course, its thoughts had no effect on the battle situation. The two people at the center of the battle had already fought to a white-hot level in just two minutes. Punches and kicks made muffled sounds, and the flashing of swords and sabers was thrilling.

However, only Delphinium could feel the pressure of fighting Kite.

In fact, even if she regained control of the scissors-shaped magic suit, she could only hold her own in close combat. It was almost impossible for her to find the opportunity to attack.

What's more troublesome is not only the changes in moves in close combat, but also the layer of white mist surrounding Yuan's body.

Delphinium could not make out what it was, but the mist continued to flow with Yuan's breathing. In this mist, the power of all magical attacks was compressed to the extreme, and her magic could hardly leave her side.

"This mist... is not your magic power, nor is it your magic suit."

After feeling it for a few times, Kuija blocked Kite's slash during one of the attacks and said confidently, "It should have nothing to do with the power of the remnant beast. It must be something else."

"Magic? Of course not, these are my 'chi'."

As if she was enjoying the battle, Yuan had no intention of hiding anything: "Although I am a magical girl, I am also a martial artist. This power comes from the ancient heritage of Donghua Province, and it is naturally not the same thing as magic."

"Angry?" Cuique couldn't help but frowned, "I'm not talking to you about martial arts novels."

"Novels are often created based on reality. The mention of 'qi' in the book is certainly not groundless."

Yuan's eyes widened slightly, and the yin-yang fish in his eyes slowly turned: "Of course, it is normal for people nowadays not to know. Things that cannot adapt to the times will be eliminated by the times and eventually become the dust of history. Martial arts is just a corner of that dust, no different from others, and there is nothing worth remembering."

"Can't adapt to the times?" To cope with the opponent's attack, Delphinium slightly tilted its neck back to avoid a jab, "Why?"

"Because the so-called martial arts, the so-called Taoism, and the special arts used to protect people are completely incomparable to magic."

Yuan's emotions were quite high, and his voice was quite loud: "Practicing is slow, the cost is high, and the talent required is one in a million. In the end, after practicing, you can only fight against mortals. When facing real crises and disasters, the remnant beasts have no power to fight back."

"No matter how talented, quick-witted, or ambitious one is, generations of warriors have failed to make this path more sustainable. On the contrary, the more they practice martial arts, the more they realize that this is a dead end."

"Martial arts rely on young bodies, requiring vigorous qi, blood and vitality. However, as martial artists age, their qi becomes weak and their blood becomes depleted. No matter how passionate they are, they cannot maintain their physical condition. They can only watch themselves weaken and eventually be unable to climb up again."

"So, I chose to join the kingdom and stay as a magical girl for a longer time. I wanted to see if I could go further as a magical girl."

In the fierce battle, Yuan blocked the masterpiece in front of him with a sword and grinned: "And what you see is the result of my practice over these long years."

"So why did you join Claw Mark?"

Taking the thread back into her hand, Kuija slightly adjusted her body posture, and then began to attack again as if tirelessly: "Betraying the country and colluding with the beasts, is this the path you want?"

"Betrayal? Collusion?"

Yuan blinked, and suddenly laughed after a moment: "I'm sorry, is this what you think? I have never thought about this."

"The leader found me, told me that I could see new powers and possibilities by joining Claw Mark, and then defeated me, so I followed her."

"Anyway, to me, the form and shape of power are external things. The only pursuit is to keep moving forward on the path of becoming stronger. Good and evil, beauty and ugliness, merit and sin, they have nothing to do with me, and I don't care about these things."

After the fierce fight, the two separated briefly. Yuan paused slightly with a rather refreshing smile on his face: "The opinions of the world are not important. I am getting stronger, and that is enough."

After she said this, Delphinium knew that it would not work to try to convince the other party through conversation.

Although the contact time with each other was very brief, Delphinium had already vaguely felt that Yuan, as a "bad guy" from Claw Scar, did not seem to be the same as those unforgivable villains in Black Ash Dawn.

In addition, the opponent's fighting power was very strong, and it was difficult to expel it simply by fighting. This made her think of persuading the opponent through words and making the other party give up voluntarily.

Unfortunately, after these words came out, she realized that although Yuan was not a pure villain, he did not have pure good intentions. The other party did not care about the so-called concept of good and evil. The reason why he did not become a villain was just because he felt it was meaningless, just like she was not a good person now.

If such a person is a companion, then there is still a possibility of communication, but if he is an enemy, there is no more room for discussion. If you want to resolve this crisis, you can only defeat the other party by force.

However, after the fight just now, Delphinium has realized that this is not an easy task.

The opponent's close combat skills were not weaker than his own, and he even had a slight advantage. If no one interfered from the outside, the battle would surely continue. However, Delphinium who was in the battle knew that he did not have that much time.

Hong Si's reproduced magic suit can only last for five minutes, which means that after five minutes, both the completeness of the magic suit and the magic power will be greatly reduced, and he will definitely not be able to continue fighting like this.

Therefore, if you want to end the battle, you have to do it as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, she concentrated slightly, began to call upon the magic power of the scissors in her right hand, and used the scissors form of Weaving Life without hesitation.

In the interval of the high-intensity fight, the small pair of tailor's scissors glowed in her hand. Then, Delphinium pointed the scissors at the white mist around Kite without hesitation, opened the blade slightly, and then suddenly closed it.

click.

After a crisp sound, a large part of the white mist surrounding the two people suddenly dissipated.

Almost at the same time, Hong Siyu, who was holding a book not far away, turned pale, and one third of the wall of books behind him disappeared with the swing of the scissors.

“Ugh… cough cough cough!”

She took a few steps back and leaned against the wall of the reception room, which had been reduced to ruins. She covered her forehead with her hands and finally recovered after a long time. She smiled bitterly, "This level of magic power consumption, has the senior been fighting with this kind of magic outfit? It's really... too exaggerated."

She reacted violently, and the center of the battle was greatly affected. Yuan's offensive almost stopped, and even her breathing became disordered. She coughed a few times as if she was choked, slightly distanced herself from Delphinium, took a few deep breaths, and raised her eyebrows in confusion: "My energy... has been weakened?"

Not far away, Delphinium, who was holding the scissors, was also slightly out of breath.

This was the first time she used the ability of the reproduced scissors. Now it seemed that although it could be used, the consumption of Hong Siyu was indeed too great.

The effect of the cut just now was the ability of the scissors themselves - separation.

Although the scissors form of Fateweaver needs to be used in conjunction with Wonderland in most cases to perform large-scale concept removal, this does not mean that the scissors themselves have no function.

In fact, even without the cooperation of Wonderland, this pair of scissors has very powerful capabilities. In the current situation, Delphinium only moved the knife lightly and separated the "qi" used by Yuan.

Although it was a bit despicable to do so, this was also the reason why she had asked the other party what the white mist was. When Yuan explained the nature and principles of "Qi" and made Cuique have a certain understanding of it, she could activate this ability and "separate" it from the other party.

Of course, this separation is not permanent.

Not only does the moment of separation consume a huge amount of magic power, but in order to maintain this state of separation, she also needs to continuously input magic power into the scissors - this part now becomes all the pressure on Hong Siyu.

That's why, on the night of the Full Moon Festival, in order to permanently remove the large-scale "remnant beast" concept, Delphinium had to destroy her scissors. If she didn't do that, she simply wouldn't have the magic to achieve that effect.

And now, in order to end the battle as quickly as possible, she had no choice but to use this ability.

After two days of rest, I feel like I have recovered a little, so I am going to update today.

Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.

Chapter 179 Welcome back

2023-06-20

After the ability of "separation" was released and the white fog was dispersed, the battle situation changed further in an unknown direction.

The most obvious point is that the Delphinium has changed from the previous defender to the attacker. However, this "attack" is not a simple physical attack, but an attack on intelligence.

Possessing the ability to separate means that as long as she knows and understands a certain ability of Yuan, this ability will be instantly excluded from the battle.

Keeping a close eye on Yuan's movements, Delphinium changed the form of her masterpiece to fight back, while constantly observing her opponent's every move, and began to look for the next target to activate her ability on in her mind.

She knew exactly what she had to do and what her real goal was. It was impossible to seriously injure or even kill the opponent in such a short time. The only thing she could do was to weaken Yuan's ability.

Although Fate Weaving under normal circumstances cannot permanently deprive the opponent of his ability, as long as the "separation" is successfully achieved, the opponent will not be able to use it again, at least for a short period of time.

The first time she used her life-weaving ability, she separated the opponent's Qi. As long as she could separate a key concept the second time, Yuan's combat power would be greatly weakened. At that time, she could let Hong Siyu defeat the opponent.

And with Hong Siyu's fighting style, what is the biggest obstacle in defeating Yuan?

Delphinium began to think about this.

One of the obstacles is undoubtedly the separated Qi. The opponent relies on his own Qi to greatly weaken the lethality of Hong Si and the technique. It is undoubtedly a troublesome ability.

Another obstacle seems to be the ink-like magic suit in his hand.

Yuan called this magic suit "Baiwu". Judging from its use and performance, the ability demonstrated by this magic suit is transformation and extremely strong penetration.

No matter whether it was the magic barrier created by the ritual or even the masterpiece of Delphinium itself, once it came into contact with Yuan's magic suit, it seemed to lose its magical properties and was cut apart by "Baiwu" in physical form.

Although the true ability of this magic armor is not clear, just from the appearance, it is already a threat enough to Hong Siyu.

Because Hong Siyu obviously doesn't have the ability to fight in close combat like herself, as a magical girl whose style is ridiculed as a "turret", her fighting style relies on spells and magic suits to suppress the enemy with long-range firepower. Because of this, once Yuan chooses to transform the magic suit into a long-range weapon and fight with Hong Siyu at a long distance, Hong Siyu, who lacks defensive means, may become a target.

Thinking in this way, if the opponent's only means of long-range attack is separated, then the subsequent battle will definitely lead to a situation favorable to Hong Si.

However, although the idea is beautiful, the reality is regrettable: Delphinium cannot directly separate the opponent's "magic outfit".

Because the essence of the magic suit is actually the true nature of the magical girl, separating the magic suit means directly depriving the other party of part of their true nature. Just by hearing the concept of "true nature", you know that it is not something you can handle now.

The stronger the concept of separation, the more magic power is consumed and maintained. Even for a Delphinium at its peak, it is extremely difficult to separate a part of a Hanaru's true self with one sword.

Therefore, if she wants to get rid of the opponent's magic suit, the concept she cuts off must not be the "magic suit", but must be something else.

So, what exactly should this thing be?

As she thought about this, Kuei-Jin's attacking moves became much more powerful. She began to abandon some of her defenses and even began to take some injuries on her own initiative to force Yuan to make more risky responses.

This is not only because she doesn't have much time left, but also because she wants to force the other party to reveal more of his abilities.

This kind of thinking naturally could not be perceived by Hongsi and Semi outside the field. From their perspective, the battle undoubtedly began to turn into Kuei suppressing Yuan. The removal of the white mist directly caused Yuan's fighting style to change. Although its movements were still swift and skillful, they had obviously become much more awkward.

The layer of white mist made of "air" that was cut off by the Delphinium was a natural defense against magic. In previous battles, whether against humans or beasts, this defense method was always effective. Because of this, Yuan had become accustomed to abandoning defense against magic attacks in close combat.

Although this did not mean that she had lost her ability to fight magic normally, the sudden change in her fighting habits did have a certain impact on her. It was also because of this that she gave Delphinium the opportunity to attack.

There is not much time left for the reappearing magic suit, and if Delphinium wants to win in the remaining time, it must take more radical measures.

Yuan was unable to use the defensive ability of Qi, and Delphinium also gave up defense in order to gain military merit. The battle became extremely dangerous from then on. Small wounds kept appearing on the bodies of both of them, but they didn't care at all.

The magic suit only has one minute left to last.

Delphinium and Yuan were no longer able to speak. They were concentrating on each other's actions and trying to react as quickly as possible.
