Chapter XXVIII

"Boom-boom"!

A loud bang rang out in the caverns underground.

Strips of meat fell from above, slammed into the water, and exploded into the water several meters high.

The fish-shaped beast in the center writhed, opening and closing its mouthparts as if in an ominous dance, while instructing its flesh and blood to attack the delphinium with a rousing song.

Clinging to the water, the delphinium flew low in circles along the edge of the cavern, dodging the fleshy whiskers that rushed at it from time to time, raising its wand and tentatively firing a few magic beams at the remnant beast in the center.

It's just that the magic beam hit the remnant beast, and it disappeared like a fish sinking into a goose, failing to provoke any reaction from the other party, nor did it cause any damage.

Looking at it from the delphinch's point of view, it can be seen that the magic beam automatically disintegrates and dissipates silently after only touching the surface of the remnant beast.

"Are there really pupal shells?"

It was the first time she had shown surprise since she stepped into the field: "Have you evolved to this point? ”

The pupal shell is a physical ability that the pupal-level remnant beast continues to hoard nutrients and extends to a higher level of evolution, which will give the remnant beast the ability to disintegrate and defend against pure magic attacks within a certain limit.

Remnant beasts are extremely difficult to take physical damage, so when they evolve a chrysalis shell, it means that there are no dead ends on the defensive side, and it is difficult to take damage again. That just sounds like it's enough to make the average person feel powerless.

Fortunately, the chrysalis with the word "shell" in its name indicates its attribute - for magical girls, it can actually be broken.

If you want to cross the chrysalis shell and hurt the remnant beast, there are usually only two methods: one is to use magic power beyond its tolerance to continue to attack, break the trick with force, and forcibly break the shell; The second is the ability to use non-physical and non-pure magic damage.

The first method corresponds to the siege, and it is also the least demanding method, only a sufficient number of magical girls are needed, even if they are all newcomers of the species. A group of magical girls swarmed up and used their magic power to attack, and the huge magic power could directly break through the chrysalis shell and attack the remnant beast.

Of course, if an extremely powerful magical girl arrives, it is not impossible to defeat it with the magic power of an individual that completely crushes the chrysalis remnant.

The second method corresponds to more methods, but the requirements are relatively higher, the most common being mana construction. The power of the magic construct comes from the true appearance of the magical girl.,It's the product of the unity of soul and magic.,It's born with a certain restraining effect on the pupal shell of the remnant beast.。

So when the number is insufficient, it is required that all the magical girls who participate in the crusade are above the bud level.

Turning her head to look at the remnant in the center of the high-speed flight, the delphinium regained her composure: although she was surprised by the pupal shell, it was not unexpected, because it was the reason why she came alone.

There are only three magical girls in Fangting City to this day, and this number is definitely not enough to break the chrysalis shell. Considering that the other two had not mastered the magical construct and would not be able to do effective damage even if they came, Delphinium decided not to let them participate.

And now, it seems that because of the knowledge that there is only one enemy, the fish-shaped remnant beast is particularly unscrupulous, and after being counterattacked by the delphinium, it dances even more wantonly, arousing more tentacles to reach towards the delphinium from all directions.

The delphinium had a calm complexion, its clothes were hunting, its hair fluttering in the air, and its lips were slightly opened:

"Construct the magic and precipitate it."

She muttered, the wand in her hand turned into magic and scattered, dense threads of magic flickering to hook up the entire cavern space.

The limbs were stopped, the tentacles were severed, and the blood of the remnants was splattered, but not a single trace of it stained the corners of her clothes. She continued to fly, and for a moment the surroundings became empty, with no trace of the enemy.

But this grand choral symphonic performance is far from over.

The huge cavern is the stage, and the beast in the center of the stage is the conductor of the concert and its own choir, and the limbs hanging from the cavern are its symphony orchestra members and dancers.

The assault will not end until its performance stops.

As a wave of offensive unraveled and its tentacles shattered, its singing changed to a completely different style of lamentation.

In the midst of the song, as if inspired by some kind of inspiration, a series of blisters suddenly appeared in the dim pool below the cave, and countless objects suddenly emerged from under the surface of the water and rose high into the sky.

The delphinium had not yet seen what was coming out of the water, but her inner vigilance had caused her flight trajectory to change abruptly.

"Boom"!

The moment she changed lanes, a cannonball of sewage swept past her original trajectory and slammed into the inner wall of the cavern with a loud sound.

It's a water cannon.

The delphinium was clear, and in the middle of her thoughts, she already knew what was in the pool below. She looked down from the air, and the dense mass of objects had revealed their true form: they were all the heads of remnants.

- The head of a cavity-dissolving beast.

The chorus is mournful and poignant, but the voices rise and fall, the rhythm crescendos, the treble rises and falls, and the heavy chords lift the mood of the piece to the peak, and it seems to have entered a climax.

"Boom, boom, boom"!

A succession of water cannons rang out to the beat, and the water pool below fired in the direction of the delphinium

"Boom, boom, boom"!

Tentacles like whiplash blades swung down from the sky, waving towards figures in the air with a terrible sound of wind.

The delphinium twisted its flying body like a bullet and accelerated again.

With such a dense and dangerous attack, it would be difficult for any leaf-level magical girl to get out of the way, but not for her.

Like a soloist on the symphony floor, the delphinium moves from seat to seat, her light steps and intense movements out of place, as if she too had become part of the performance. Constantly dodging attacks and countering with magic costumes, the soloist leaps from the edge of the pit and rushes towards the center podium.

The brass group was easily crossed by her, the woodwind group could not stumble her steps, the violinist was stopped by her silk thread, and the music could not keep her dancing figure.

The singer on the podium felt provoked.

It's a singer and a conductor, and this concert shouldn't be out of its control. Outsiders should be quietly watching under the stage, not intruding into it and disturbing its performance.

This is the end of the grand welcome, and the next thing to do is to dislodge the troublesome audience.

So, it shut its mouth.

As the fish-shaped remnant in the center closed its huge mouth, the originally roaring song also stopped.

The strings of flesh and blood flags hanging in the air wriggled and swelled, and the pieces of flesh hanging above them cracked one after another, and the mouthparts full of sharp teeth opened from them, sticking out their tongues; The egg-tier remnants below also shrank into their cavities, stopped the non-stop water cannon bombardment, and grinned at what was supposed to be their weak point.

Delphinium's pupils constricted slightly.

She jerked her hand up and made an unusual motion against the dense threads in the air.

Immediately afterward, a loud sound wave from all directions rang out, piercing the inner walls of the cavern and blowing away the accumulated pools of water, shattering almost all the foreign objects in the entire space.
