If she hadn't been demonstrating to the newcomers, she wouldn't have needed to put in any effort to deal with this level of enemy. The magic suit was released, and deadly magic threads spread all around. Many of the beasts that rushed over were hit head-on before they could react, and were directly cut into pieces by the sharp threads.
She walked forward with an expressionless face, and from time to time, injured beasts would roar and fall down along the way.
The sewer tunnels were like a slaughterhouse, except that what was slaughtered there were not livestock, but dead animals. The smell of blood even overwhelmed the stench that the sewers were supposed to have, and the yellow water was dyed red by the blood of the dead animals.
Delphinium did not count how many remaining beasts it had killed. It only remembered that in the end it was too lazy to even collect the egg-level remnants.
Until finally, she heard singing.
It was not the vague a cappella singing as rumored, but a grand and magnificent chorus like a gorgeous performance.
What appeared before her was no longer a narrow tunnel, but a huge cave that normally could not appear in a sewer.
You can't see the top at a glance, all you can see are tangled pipes and bricks, and countless sewers extend out from all sides of the cave. A huge amount of sewage flows down from all directions and gathers into a bottomless pool.
Above the pool of water, there is the being that is making the singing sound.
It was not a siren, nor a mermaid, it was undoubtedly a crippled beast.
Delphinium looked up, and the first thing that caught its eye was meat, pieces of meat, and flesh limbs.
Flesh and blood that looked like intestines were hanging in the air, covering the entire sky of the cave like a string of colorful flags, just like a festival. In the center was a huge beast hanging from the sky, with only pink and red flesh all over its body, like a fish with its scales and skin peeled off, but without the eyes and gills of a fish, only a huge mouthparts.
At this moment, the huge mouthparts opened and closed, squirming like those of humans, and the graceful singing that came out of them resounded throughout the surrounding corridors. The strong echoes mixed together to form a chaotic chorus that sounded sacred and solemn.
There was no human language in this, but Delphinium seemed to understand its meaning:
It is welcoming, welcoming the arrival of the magical girl.
Chapter 28 Chorus and Dancers
2023-04-30
“Boom——Wow!”
A loud noise was heard in the underground cave.
Strands of flesh fell from the sky, slamming heavily into the water, creating a water column several meters high.
The fish-shaped remains in the center twisted and opened and closed its mouth, as if dancing a strange and ominous dance, while using passionate singing to instruct the flesh and blood around it to attack the delphinium.
Delphinium flew close to the water surface, circling low along the edge of the cave, avoiding the flesh whiskers that rushed over from time to time. It raised its magic wand and tentatively shot a few beams of magic power at the remaining beast in the center.
However, the magic beam hit the crippled beast and disappeared like a fish sinking into the water and a wild goose disappearing into the distance. It failed to provoke any reaction from the opponent, nor did it cause any harm.
From the perspective of Delphinium, it can be found that the magic beam automatically disintegrates and dissipates silently just after touching the surface of the crippled beast.
“Is there really a chrysalis shell?”
This was the first time she showed surprise since she entered this place: "Has it evolved to this point?"
The pupa shell is a physical ability that extends from the pupa-level remnant beasts as they continue to store nutrients and evolve to a higher level. It gives the remnant beasts the ability to disintegrate and protect against pure magic attacks within a certain limit.
The remnant beasts were originally very vulnerable to physical damage, so when they evolved into pupa shells, it meant that there were no blind spots in terms of defense, and it was difficult to be hurt. Just hearing this was enough to make ordinary people feel powerless.
Fortunately, the word "shell" in the name of the pupa shell indicates its properties - for the magical girls, it can actually be broken.
If you want to bypass the pupa shell and harm the remaining beast, there are usually only two ways: one is to use magic power beyond its tolerance limit to continuously attack, using force to overcome cleverness and forcibly break the shell; the other is to use non-physical and non-pure magic damage abilities.
The first method is siege, which is the method with the lowest requirements. It only requires a sufficient number of magical girls, even if they are all newcomers of the species level. A group of magical girls rush forward and use magic power to attack. The huge magic power can directly break through the pupa shell and attack the remaining beast.
Of course, if an extremely powerful magical girl arrives, it is not impossible for her to use her individual magic power to completely crush a pupa-level beast and defeat it.
There are more methods for the second method, but the requirements are relatively higher. The most common one is magic construct. The power of magic construct comes from the true form of the magic girl, which is the product of the unity of soul and magic. It is naturally able to restrain the chrysalis of the remnant beast.
Therefore, when the number is insufficient, only magical girls above the Bud level are required to participate in the expedition.
Tilting her head during the high-speed flight and looking at the remaining beast in the center, Delphinium regained her composure: although the presence of the pupa shell surprised her, it was not unexpected, because this was exactly why she came here alone.
There were only three magical girls in Fangting City to date, and this number was definitely not enough to break the chrysalis shell. Considering that the other two did not master the magic construct, they would not be able to cause effective damage even if they came, so Delphinium decided not to let them participate.
And now, it seemed that because it knew that there was only one enemy, the fish-shaped beast was particularly unscrupulous. After being counterattacked by the Delphinium, it danced even more wantonly, summoning more tentacles to extend towards the Delphinium from all directions.
Delphinium's face was calm, her clothes rustled, her hair fluttered in the air, and she slightly opened her lips:
"Magic power construction, extraction."
She murmured, and the magic wand in her hand turned into magic power that scattered everywhere. Dense magic threads flickered and connected the entire space of the cave.
The limbs were blocked, the tentacles were cut off, and the blood of the remaining beasts splattered everywhere, but not even a trace of it stained the corners of her clothes. She continued to fly, and the surroundings became empty in an instant, without any trace of the enemy.
But this grand choral and symphonic music performance is far from over.
The huge cave is the stage. The mutilated beast in the center of the stage is the conductor of the concert and its own choir. The limbs hanging in the cave are the members of its symphony orchestra and dancers.
The attack will not end until its performance stops.
As a wave of attacks was broken, its tentacles shattered to the ground, and its singing style changed, becoming a completely different mournful tune from before.
As the singing sounded, as if inspired by something, a series of bubbles suddenly appeared in the dim pool of water below the cave, and countless objects suddenly floated out from under the water and rose high into the sky.
Delphinium had not yet seen clearly what had emerged from the water, but her inner alertness caused her flying trajectory to suddenly change.
"Boom"!
At the moment she changed lanes, a ball of sewage suddenly passed through her original trajectory and hit the inner wall of the cave, making a loud bang.
It's a water cannon.
Delphinium understood, and as her mind raced, she had already figured out what was in the pool below. Looking down from the air, the densely packed objects had revealed their true appearance: they were all the heads of the remaining beasts.
——The head of a cavity-dissolved animal.
The chorus's singing is mournful and sad, but the voices gradually rise, the rhythm becomes stronger, the high notes rise and fall, and the dominant chords raise the mood of the music to its peak, as if it has entered a climax stage.
"Boom, boom, boom"!
One after another, water cannons rang to the beat, firing from the pool below towards the direction where the delphinium was.
"Swish, swish, swish"!
The tentacles, like the sound of whip blades, swung down from the sky, and swung towards the figure in the air with a shrill sound.
The delphinium twisted its flying body like a bullet and accelerated again.
Any leaf-level magical girl would have difficulty escaping from such an intensive and dangerous attack, but it was not the case for her.
Delphinium was like a solo dancer who had entered the symphony orchestra pit, moving between the seats. Her light dance steps and fierce movements were extraordinary but not inconsistent, as if she had become part of the performance. She kept dodging attacks and using her magic suit to fight back. The solo dancer kept leaping from the edge of the orchestra pit and rushed towards the podium in the center.
She easily passed the brass section, and the woodwind section could not hold her back. The violinist was stopped to the side by her silk thread, and the music could not stop her dancing figure.
The singer on the podium felt provoked.
It is a singer and a conductor, and this concert should not be out of its control. Outsiders should quietly enjoy it under the stage, rather than barging in and disturbing its performance.
The grand welcome party ended here, and the next thing to do was to drive away the troublesome audience.
So it shut its mouth.
As the fish-shaped beast in the center closed its huge mouth, the originally thunderous singing suddenly stopped.
The strings of colorful flags of flesh and blood hanging in the air squirmed and expanded, the pieces of flesh hanging above cracked open one after another, mouths full of sharp teeth opened, and tongues stuck out; the egg-level beasts below also shrank their cavity, stopped the continuous water cannon bombardment, and opened their mouths, which should have been their weakness.
Delphinium's pupils contracted slightly.
She suddenly raised her hand and made an unusual gesture towards the dense silk threads in the air.
Then, loud explosions suddenly sounded from all directions, piercing through the inner wall of the cave, blowing away the accumulated water, and almost shattering all foreign objects in the entire space.
Chapter 29 The song ends and everyone disperses
2023-04-30
Cuiqiao said in her lectures to Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang that a magical girl's magic costume can be improved through acquired efforts.
This statement is not without reason, because she herself is an example. When she first became a magical girl, her magic structure was actually not like this.
At that time, she did not have the nearly endless amount of silk threads like she does now, nor did she have a pair of sewing scissors in her hands. She only had a sphere made of magic silk threads, which looked like a ball of wool if she had to make an analogy.
After the ball of thread was unfolded, the amount of magic threads released was limited, and the strength was barely strong enough, with almost no lethality, and could only be used occasionally to restrict the movements of residual animals. Such a weak magic suit made Lin Yun feel lost for a long time. Not only Anya, but even someone as stubborn as Su Shengzi comforted him out of humanitarianism.
For a long time afterwards, Lin Yun used the magic suit as a means to control the enemy and used basic magic skills to fight.
This state lasted until he was promoted to the Leaf level. After he became obsessed with his spiritual thoughts, he found that the strength of his magic lines had increased significantly. He was able to restrain more powerful enemies, and also make the magic lines sharper and directly cut off weak and remnant beasts.
He began to specialize in the fighting method of controlling silk threads. The more he used them, the more proficient he became. The more proficient he became, the more he evolved. The more he evolved, the stronger he became. The number of silk threads increased day by day, and the strength of the silk threads was as strong as gold and stone.
However, this way of fighting has its limits.
As the reinforcement of the silk thread itself reached its upper limit, it became difficult to increase the lethality of the magic suit. Lin Yun once again felt his own limitations.
Is there any other way to get further?
Lin Yun had thought about this in the past, and he desperately hoped that he could become stronger. So, as if in response to his wish, his magic suit changed again at that time -
The threads intertwined and closed, constantly changing shape under the control of the Delphinium. As if being pulled by a giant hand, they broke away from their original half-hidden form and revealed a new appearance:
Fluorescent blue magic threads are woven together to form a cube that is as beautiful as a sculpture. It has a hollow center, protecting Delphinium itself inside. Its surface is also covered with dense hollow patterns, making it look like a fragile work of art.
The strongest sonic attack of the fish-shaped beast was blocked by this work of art that seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"That's really exaggerated. If I give it some more time, I'm afraid what I see won't be a remnant of the pupa stage."
Delphinium loosened her hand, and the lines in her vision relaxed, and the silk cube protecting her body dissipated. She looked cold and whispered to herself, "Fortunately, it's not too late."
After these words were spoken, the magic threads in the sky emitted a low vibration.
As if responding to the remnant beast's previous grand performance, its chirping sound turned from low to high, and then, the magic thread connecting the entire cave began to turn.
They rotated, fell, and gathered again, changing in an orderly manner. Pieces of hollow blades made of magic threads, which seemed harmless, floated in the air along the inner wall. More and more blades floated, and finally, the sky was full of fluorescent blue and connected into a sea of light.
If the thread is not strong enough, use it to weave cloth. If the cloth is too soft, make the thread hard.
When the strength of the silk threads that make up the "cloth" reaches a certain level and its sharpness becomes extraordinary, the "cloth" will also become indestructible.
"Masterpiece" is the name that Delphinium gave to this form of magical construct.
She had used this ability the night she rescued Lin Xiaolu, but at that time she was only dealing with a remnant insect-level beast, which was far from allowing her to unleash her full strength.
Now, it's enough to do whatever you want.
