Chapter 81: Dawn of Ember (4k)
Wonderland,It's an ability that magical girls will only master after reaching the bud level.。
As a sign of the true manifestation of the soul's willpower, it is inextricably linked to the magic costume.
In Sparrow's imagination, as a magical girl who has reached the bud level in Kaihua, there is no doubt that Cornflower should have this ability.
And she has shown the ability to suppress Wonderland when she is not using it, and in such a situation, there is no reason why Cornflower should not unfold her own Wonderland.
This undoubtedly confirms a rumor she had heard, that is, Cornflower used more power than the limit in the defense of the "Garden", causing damage to the Heart Jewel, and finally insisted on fighting for a year before choosing to retire herself. As for the place of retreat, it is the city where she was once stationed - Fangting City.
At first glance, this rumor doesn't sound very reliable: the damage to the Heart Gem is supposed to be almost crippling for a magical girl, and if the damage to the magic source is too severe, and it may even become a stupid handicapped person, how can it still retire unharmed?
But if you think about it according to this logic, you will feel that the rumors are reasonable.
Because everyone knows that Cornflower's teammate, who is also a lifelong magical girl, or the magical girl Sakura who is the "strongest flower card", has also been carrying out activities in Fangting City. If Cornflower must have lived in seclusion somewhere in the material world, Fangting City is undoubtedly the most likely place.
Now, every rumor known to the Sparrow was gradually confirmed, and she began to believe that perhaps the last point, that is, the damage to the heart jewel of the cornflower, was also true!
When he came to Fangting City, the original purpose of the sparrow was to make a deal with those madmen who claimed to be the dawn of the black embers, in addition to collecting some information.
Because she knew before she came: a team of guards in front of the palace came to Fangting City in the dawn of black ashes, and planned to stay here for a while.
Ember Dawn is a strange organization that began operating in the physical realm about ten years ago, and most of them are human magicians from the physical realm, as well as a few people from other worlds who have defected from the realm or the realm. Together, they refuse to recognize the rule of the current royal court of the Magical Realm, while secretly studying the power of the remnants.
In order to achieve the goal of rebelling against the royal court, what they did could be said to have no bottom line: whether it was massacring or even abusing civilians, carrying out terrorist attacks on urban public facilities and even city governments, and privately reselling all kinds of contraband items was commonplace, which can be described as a bad thing.
His behavior was so rampant that it naturally attracted the vigorous encirclement and suppression of the investigation institute, but like rats that could not be destroyed, they caught batch after batch, blossomed all over the world, and committed crimes.
As a magical girl, she has always been unaccustomed to this group of freaks, but she has to admit that the rare magic materials in the material world, except for those magical girls who are still in charge, belong to this group of crazy people who have the most control.
If she was still in office before, she naturally didn't need to go through this gray channel to obtain materials. But after many years of defecting from the realm, since joining Claw Scars, she has had to think about the use of her usual research.
After coming to Fangting City and collecting some local information, she suddenly remembered the rumors she had heard before.
This city is where the "cornflower" retreats.
Two years ago, the country's strongest flower card magical girl, Sakura, died for unknown reasons. This incident caused a strong shock from many magical girls on the magic side, and even a small group of people, who were also fans of Sakura, also went to Fangting City to investigate.
These comers turned Fangting City upside down, killed all the remnants of the beasts around Fangting City, and also found Sakura's teammates and husband to inquire about the situation, but they didn't get any useful information.
Among them, it is not that no one has listened to the rumors, believing that Cornflower is living in seclusion in Fangting City, wanting to question Sakura for her death.
But no matter how much they tried, no one could find where the cornflower was.
It's as if rumors are really just rumors, some people's unrealistic imagination.
When Sparrow arrives in the city, the craze has long since faded, and both Sakura's teammates and her fans agree that the killer has fled and gone to another city to follow his tracks. Having lost a number of elite-level magical girls in one go, Fang Ting City seems to have entered a period of discontinuity of the forces on the magic side, and the magical girl team stationed here has a tendency to be in short supply.
In this situation, Sparrow comes into contact with the local Ember Dawn Squad.
She didn't know why this group of crazy people chose to stay in Fangting City, and she didn't know where they got the information from, in short, about the deal with Sparrow, they made an exchange request: that is, let her solve the current magical girl team in Fangting City on a specific day.
It's best to be able to kill these magical girls.,If you can't kill it, you must drag it out.,And the key target is a magical girl wearing navy blue clothes and long blue hair.。
According to them, this magical girl has shown the ability to use spells, at least at the leaf level, far from being comparable to the other two rookie rookies, and definitely don't let her disrupt their plans.
Sparrows have long since defected from the country, and they are facing each other with swords from their former colleagues, and they have no resistance to killing magical girls, so they naturally complied with their request.
Then, she began to observe the "Blue Magical Girl".
At first, she waited near the scene where the remnants appeared, and first confirmed what the target looked like.
Because she was worried that the other party would sense the magic and startle the snake, she had always let the little sparrows with her accompany her to observe from afar. After that, according to the location where the remnant beast appeared, combined with the time and direction of the blue magical girl's appearance, she went to let the sparrows follow and push back the starting point of the other party.
In order to confirm the other party's course of action, she specially led some remnant beasts to attack the people she highlighted as suspicious. Then, during an attack on a light rail train, the blue magical girl actually appeared.
She was thus convinced that the daily activity area of this blue magical girl must be Luoming District of Fangting City.
With the in-depth follow-up later, she not only gradually determined the place where the other party usually operates-an office building; I gradually discovered one thing, this blue magical girl, seems to have many similarities with the rumored "cornflower".
Instead of telling anyone about it, she instead went and collected some photos from twenty years ago, and without even comparing them, she could confirm that the magical girl was Cornflower!
So there was today's well-prepared battle.
Sparrow's plan was that she was going to defeat Cornflower here, preferably capturing her alive. Not only would she be able to make a name for herself, but she would also be able to make a fortune: she remembers that many years ago someone in the claw marks said that she was interested in this former legend.
And when she used her half-beast form, she even thought she was about to win.
She can penetrate cornflowers' magical barriers, knock them out of the air, and attack the shell of a turtle wrapped in silk thread like a sandbag. It's just that as the battle dragged on, she discovered a very serious problem: the opponent was not injured from beginning to end.
Even, because of the difference in the sophistication of her magic planning strategy, although her magic power has been consumed a lot, Cornflower still hides in her magic turtle shell and is unwilling to show her head.
It wasn't going to go on like this, she realized it.
Although I don't want to admit it, if Cornflower has been maintaining a defensive posture, then it must have run out of its own magic before completely shattering its defenses.
She must force the other party to be exposed from the defenses.
"I don't care, but do you really plan to stay behind your turtle shell?"
So she spoke, waving her magic costume: "If you don't start the wonderland, if you keep delaying like this, those little companions of yours will probably be in danger." ”
This sentence is actually made up. It's better to say that she herself is curious about where those rookies are. But as the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of deceit, and if just a casual nonsense can disrupt the opponent's position, it is undoubtedly a very cost-effective strategy
The provocative words she casually made up had an unexpected effect. As soon as the words fell, the delphinium behind the masterpiece froze.
Hearing Sparrow's words, she almost instantly remembered the phone call that she had not answered before, and remembered the whereabouts reported by Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu not long ago.
They went to Lixing District to look for Moke, could it be that there was something really wrong with this matter?
Although she also knew that it might be a verbal fraud, she still divided part of her mind during the battle to sense her own technique. Immediately afterward, she was stunned to find that the positioning technique she had set up on Moco had failed.
"Do you have accomplices?" Her gaze began to become contemplative.
"Accomplices? Forget it, I'm not in accomplice with those crazy freaks. ”
Sparrow laughed disdainfully, and continued to provoke, "But you're right, those little companions of yours aren't here, maybe they're fighting a bunch of vicious guys, huh?" Can they really win without your help? ”
Putting aside what she said earlier, this sentence, what she said was not a lie.
Although she didn't know what the men of Ember Dawn were looking for, once they found it, with their habits, a bloody and brutal blood sacrifice was probably indispensable. And in this process, if the other rookies in Fangting City are against them, there is a high probability that they will be more than lucky.
"If you start a wonderland now, maybe you can beat me and go to their aid?"
Feeling that her words did make a smile, she began to add fuel and vinegar, trying to further arouse the other party's emotions: "Of course, this is the smoothest situation, if the development on that side is too fast, these seedlings you managed to bring up may have died, or maybe?" ”
Then, I don't know if it's an illusion, and the air around me seems to freeze suddenly.
Immediately after that, it was as if the air pressure had dropped, making it difficult to breathe.
"Indeed, it's almost over."
The taut fingers gradually loosened, and the shield of the masterpiece that had been gathered in front of him was once again dispersed into a network of magical threads, and the delphinium gave up all her defenses.
She shook her stiff palm, and focused her gaze on the sparrow with some cold eyes:
"Most of the origins can't be asked; Strange black magic, suspected to be characteristic of the entire organization; Half-beast form, it seems to have a special state related to the remnant beast; The purple-black mana gem has changed the original background color of the mana source...... Looks like that's all there is to it. ”
As she spoke to herself, the blue magic around her that had been declining faded like a flame that had lost its temperature.
"Oh? How did it come out? It seems that although you have been retired for many years, you still have some courage. ”
The Delphinch's sudden calm attitude made the sparrow feel a little strange, but he didn't know where this inexplicable disobedience came from. She was satisfied with the success of her strategy, and then said in a loud voice: "But bluffing is useless, I can feel that the total amount of mana you have now is not even as good as the average bud level!" ”
"Well, you're right." The delphinium suddenly and calmly admitted.
"Huh? What's right? This calm attitude made Sparrow a little surprised, "Your brain is broken?" ”
"As you said, I'm in a terrible state right now."
As if talking about something that had nothing to do with him, Delphinium said in a calm tone: "Under the superposition of many reasons, I must admit that I can't reach my peak strength now." ”
"Now that's it? Are you throwing in the towel? ”
There was a sudden feeling in my heart for no reason, and I even felt a little uneasy, but the sparrow couldn't figure out where this uneasiness came from: "Tell me that you can't start a wonderland, you can't defeat me, do you want to ask for mercy?" ”
"No, I just wanted to clarify one thing."
The long hair at the back of his head rose without wind, and the soft strands of hair danced in the air. The sound of the air flow sounded, and the magic threads around the delphinium also rippled, drawing soft waves like chasing the traces of the wind.
Looking at the figure not far away whose body was wrapped in pitch-black magic, she was calm and natural, as if she was saying something that was taken for granted:
"To win you, I don't need Wonderland at all."
The next moment, the azure magic broke out again, only this time, it was against the previous momentum. Her magic no longer took on a regular appearance, but overflowed in all directions, so strong that people couldn't open their eyes.
If the magic displayed by the delphinium was just a trickle, now it is like a rushing river, surging and magnificent.
The delphinium raised its head, and saw that its eyes were shining blue, and the heart jewel under its neck seemed to be filled with magic and became extremely shiny.
She stretched out a hand, and even the nails on her fingertips were like glowing with fluorescent nail polish, glowing blue:
"Almost, let's do it quickly."
