After get off work, I become a magical girl

And above that spider web, there were several completely different figures.

Several girls with different body shapes and clothes, but all wearing golden robes, were hanging there quietly.

They were all tightly bound by the bloody spider silk, and their whole bodies were tied up like dumplings, hanging in the center of the spider web, motionless. Only the faint magical light flickering around them was enough to prove that they were not completely dead.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this situation cannot be sustained for long.

The bloody spider silk that bound them was like pipes, drawing their magic power out of their bodies and continuously transferring it to the spider web. And every time the spider silk moved, the breath of Maowei and the others became weaker.

The price of the continuous extraction of magic power is that the figures of several magical girls have begun to become illusory and even transparent, which means that their true appearance has been damaged.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before several magical girls on the investigation team die.

"Senior Maowei..." Dengzhan also saw this scene and subconsciously wanted to shout out, but was stopped by Cuiqiao.

"They are still alive." Delphinium shook her head, "Don't be distracted, deal with the enemy first."

"Huh, I know." Dengzhan calmed down, but was still filled with anger, "It's simply treating them as..."

"What they need is magic power, and magical girls with a high enough level of Kaihua can produce magic power continuously. With their non-existent moral bottom line, they can do such a thing."

Delphinium put down his arms and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, this guy's abilities are definitely more than this. Even if it is not a complete metamorphosis, after breaking through the boundary of the pupa stage, its nest has changed."

Although incomplete, the essence of the "shell-breaker", that is, the half-molted, is completely different from the pupa.

As the literal meaning suggests, the beast's transformation from "pupa" to "molt" is just like an insect turning into an adult after pupating, which is a huge leap in the level of life.

As the iconic ability of the pupa-stage remnant beast, the nest will also begin to change dramatically after it reaches the stage of metamorphosis.

"You mean, its nest already has rules?" Dengzhan asked seriously.

"Nine times out of ten, it will happen, just like our Wonderland."

Delphinium looked around and began to search for traces related to the enemy's abilities: "You'd better unfold your own wonderland now, otherwise this nest will only have its rules, which will be very disadvantageous to us."

The so-called "rules" are a special application of soul power.

Whether it is the magical girl whose ability has blossomed to the bud level and awakened the wonderland; or the remnant beast that has evolved beyond the limit of the pupa stage and touched the ladder of metamorphosis, as their souls become stronger and the power of their mind and will gradually manifests, they form an ability called rules.

This rule is only effective in the magical girl's wonderland or the lair of the cruel beast.

Because they originate from the soul and will, the abilities reflected by the rules are naturally varied, but they are often related to the magical girls' magic costumes.

After all, the power of the magic suit comes from the true form, which contains the soul. The magic suit is inextricably linked to the rules of the wonderland.

Delphinium once saw a magic girl whose magic suit was a stopwatch. The rules of the wonderland were a game of "one, two, three, wood", and this rule would work together with the magic suit's stopwatch. As long as the stopwatch stopped ticking, the entire wonderland, including the magic girl herself, had to stop moving, otherwise the limbs would age rapidly. If the rules were violated too many times, the limbs might decay into dust.

As the owner of the wonderland, the magic girl's biggest advantage is that she knows when the stopwatch stops. So she can move freely while the magic suit is running normally.

Correspondingly, the enemy who didn't know when the stopwatch would stop could only stay still as much as possible, not even daring to breathe, and would not dare to move his body at all unless he tried desperately. Naturally, he would be at a huge disadvantage in the battle with her.

This is the power of rules. As long as the strength of your soul and will is not much weaker than that of the enemy, then in your own wonderland, the enemy must follow the rules, otherwise he will pay an extremely tragic price.

However, when Delphinium made her suggestion, the lamp next to it suddenly fell silent.

This made Delphinium feel a little strange for a moment, and she couldn't help but continue to ask: "What's wrong? You can't use Wonderland now?"

"No, it's not that." Dengzhan raised his head slightly and said helplessly, "It's just that my wonderland may not be convenient to use here."

"I know. I won't pursue your Wonderland rules." Delphinium stopped and looked at her, "You just need to tell me what to do and when."

She could understand the feeling of a magical girl who didn't want to expose the rules of her wonderland. After all, the greatest power of the rules themselves lies in the information gap. When the enemy doesn't know the rules, the rules are most lethal.

A rule known to the enemy will greatly reduce its threat level, no matter how severe the cost of violating it is.

However, after hearing her words, Dengzhan still shook his head: "It's not that question. I don't really mind others knowing my rules, it's just..."

"Just?" Delphinium raised an eyebrow.

"Even I can't master the rules of my wonderland." Dengzhan replied embarrassedly, "I often get injured when practicing using the wonderland, so..."

Before she could finish her words, the beasts' attack began again.

The spider claws as sharp as spears pierced out from the darkness and hit the wall of Delphinium's magic suit. Although it did not break it, it easily chiseled a hole in it.

After the spider claws pierced into the inside of the magic suit, several bloody spider silks stretched out through the holes and quickly pounced on the head of the Jade Bird.

Delphinium had never let its guard down, so it reacted immediately when the attack began. It raised its hand and formed a barrier to block the spider silk attack.

"Then choose the right time to use it, and try to affect the enemy in one go."

Even in the close combat, she still spoke, and then swung the magic armor in her hand that turned into a masterpiece blade, and slashed at the spider claw that was stabbing her.

It's sizzling!

A teeth-grinding friction sound was heard as the blade slashed on the spider's claws, and one could even faintly see the reflected sparks.

The attack failed, but Cuiqiao remained calm and composed. With a mind as clear as a mirror, she used her magic power to perform several leaps in the air, and flew from the spider's claws to the upper body of the crippled beast.

In order to activate her magic suit and deliver a powerful attack to the enemy at close range, Delphinium wrapped the masterpiece around her hands, turning them into giant boxing gloves.

However, when she wanted to swing her fist down, she found that her elbow could not bend at all for some reason.

She glanced at her arm and saw that a strand of spider silk had appeared there at some point, wrapped around her joints and locked them tightly.

--rule.

The two words appeared in his mind again, but before Delphinium could make any further move, the spider's claws had already stabbed from below.

A friend asked me to help recommend a book: "The Savior Has Forked": an awkward book that makes people want to complain but don't know why, and nothing else (according to the author).

Chapter 123 Spider Web

2023-04-30

The sudden attack forced Delphinium to give up her plan to continue attacking. She used her magic to quickly do a spin in the air, and used her fists to hit the spider spear hard, thus narrowly avoiding the attack from below.

However, this does not mean the end of the crisis. The remnant beast in front of her was able to realize that the magical girl in front of her had been affected by the rules, so there was no reason for him to stop. Soon, the remnant beast caught up and tried to chase Delphinium.

In the critical situation, Dengzhan intervened in time and took over Cuiqiao's position. The two magical girls fought and retreated, and finally managed to resolve this round of attacks from the remaining beasts.

However, the spider silk on Delphinium's elbows still could not be removed.

In the gaps between battles, she repeatedly used her masterpiece to cut the spider silk that entangled her, trying to break free, but it was useless. This spider silk generated by rules was completely unaffected by her magic suit or magic power.

More importantly, as she saw the spider silk on her arm clearly, she found that the spider silk that was entangled with her seemed to be no different from the ones that were tied around Maowei and others. This finally made her realize what the spider meant by "personal experience" before the transformation.

The Cat Tail Squad had apparently fought against the Spider before, and the reason why the entire team was defeated here was obviously because they were unable to overcome the rules of this crippled beast.

Even for herself, when her elbow was entangled by the special spider silk, not only was it difficult to fold and move her arm, but even the flow of magic power there became very sluggish.

"What's the situation?" Dengzhan, who was standing by, saw that Delphinium looked serious and couldn't help asking, "Can't we get rid of it?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to find another way."

Delphinium gave up dealing with the spider silk on her body and breathed a sigh of relief: "We have to figure out its rules first, otherwise even our attacks will be restricted."

The spider silk on her arm appeared when she was trying to chase the crippled beast. Although she didn't know whether the two were related, it did not prevent her from being careful before doing so.

"But..." Dengzhan hesitated to speak and looked up at the spider web in the air.

Delphinium looked up along with Lantern, and saw that the magical fluctuations on Maowei and others above the spider web in the air were becoming increasingly weaker.

With the magical perception of two magical girls, it is not difficult to find out where the magic power went: it was all sent into the body of the crippled beast along the spider silk.

Obviously, because of the consumption caused by the previous battle, the remaining beasts accelerated the rate of absorbing magic power. If it continued at this rate, Maowei and others would probably die of exhaustion before the battle was over.

Delphinium was silent.

She did have a winning plan in mind, but it was obviously impossible to have both speed and safety.

In order to protect herself and Dengzhan, and for the two of them to defeat the crippled beast in front of them intact, she was destined not to act impulsively. She had to observe the opponent's rules clearly before looking for an opportunity to attack.

If I want to save the cat's tail, I certainly won't have the time to slowly figure out the rules, so I can only adopt a more radical solution.

"Dengzhan, split up."

After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, she spoke again: "You go up and save them, and I'll deal with this crippled beast down below."

"Eh? That's not possible!"

Dengzhan shook his head immediately after hearing this: "Senior, you have been affected by its rules. Even if you want to keep someone, it should be me who is in a relatively good condition!"

"You were seriously injured just now, how good can your condition be?"

Kuizi glanced at her and said, "Besides, you have already lost to it once before. I can't trust you to deal with it alone."

"But..." Dengzhan wanted to refute, but Cuique didn't give her a chance to argue.

"Don't waste time."

Reaching out to push the lamp away, Kuizi took a fighting stance towards the remnant beast in the air that was about to attack again: "If there are no rules that get in the way, I am confident that I can kill it quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, spider silk shot out from the darkness again. Delphinium controlled the magic suit and rushed out, fighting with the remaining beasts again.

The blood-red spider silk mixed with purple-black magic power entangled with the azure magic threads in the nest. The masterpiece blade composed of magic power collided violently with the exoskeleton of the remaining beast, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.

Dengzhan finally obeyed the command of the Jacaranda, put aside the unnecessary worries in his heart, and flew towards the spider web in the air, leaving Jacaranda on the ground to fight an extremely dangerous battle with the remaining beasts.

The irrational beast could not understand why the two magical girls acted separately. In its opinion, since there was only one magical girl left in front of it, it was undoubtedly a good opportunity to kill her as soon as possible.

So it ignored the lamp that had left, and instead launched an even more violent attack on the delphinium.

Soon after the battle began, Delphinium's arm, which was originally entangled in spider silk, was completely wrapped up, and it completely lost the ability to call on magic power.

This forced her to give up fighting with both hands and switch to a combination of one-handed and magic thread, but this also made her fighting style inevitably lean towards defense.

With only one hand still able to move normally, she must prioritize the safety of the other hand. If both hands lose the ability to move, the situation will become even worse.

Besides that, she had a headache.

The side effects of the full-strength explosion of magic power were becoming more and more serious, and even caused her movements to become uncoordinated several times. The severe pain forced her to grit her teeth to prevent herself from crying out in pain; her body's instincts urged her to make a quick decision, but she knew that now was not the time to make a quick decision.

Even though the situation was extremely grim, Delphinium remained calm.

Despite a headache that was enough to make her eyes dizzy, Delphinium was still thinking. She carefully observed the behavior of the beast in front of her, piecing together clues that might be useful in her mind.

She could feel that the beast in front of her seemed to be following some special pattern of action, which was why it repeatedly asked her and others to retreat and regroup. What exactly was this pattern?

Thinking about everything that had happened since she met the spider, Delphinium always felt that the answer was hidden in it.
