Chapter 121: Rules
The purple-black magic diffused, the fishy smell became more and more intense, and the neighing of the remnant beast resounded through the lair. The spider's figure was gradually enveloped in a smoke screen of magical power, and the blurred figure twisted in the gaze of the two magical girls, making a tooth-aching tugging sound.
The black shadow gradually grew from the size of a normal person, and gradually overlapped with the spider remnant beneath him. When the smoke screen cleared, what appeared in front of the two of them was no longer the original man, but a hideous monster with an upright upper body but wrapped in an exoskeleton.
The height of this monster is similar to that of the white spider before, and it can be vaguely seen in its original appearance, and it is not known what the relationship between it and the spider is, but after its transformation, it is further alienated, and it looks more and more terrifying.
Looking at the delphinium in front of him, who was locked in a network of flesh and blood with the magic suit, the monster raised its head slightly, cracked its mouth, and let out a hissing like laughter.
It's just that in the short seconds of his transformation, the delphinium is not inactive.
Almost at the same moment that the purple-black magic burst out, the heart jewel under her neck, and even her eyes, began to shine, and a blue light erupted from her flesh. Then, at the moment of making eye contact with the remnant beast, he broke free of the surrounding restraints in an instant.
Holding back the severe headache that erupted almost at the same time, the delphinium controlled the costume and began to leap forward, shouting at the same time, "Lamp, do it!" β
The enemy has voluntarily turned into a crippled beast, and there is nothing left to argue with, and only you are left with life and death between the two sides.
Streams of dark brown mana fell with her words, and the glowing nail guns slammed into the air with a series of slamming sounds, stabbing towards the monsters on the ground.
"Squeakβ"
The remnant beast responded to the attack of the two magical girls with its own hiss, and the purple-black magic swept up from all around, and immediately fought with the two magical girls.
After a brief roar and crash, the two magical girls retreated from the magical smoke screen and landed on the ground.
"Goodβhard!" The lamp shook his hand and said with a painful face, "The shell on its body is several times harder than the chrysalis shell!" Is the metamorphosis so strong? β
ββ¦β¦ No. Delphinium replied indifferently, "That guy isn't molting yet." β
"Huh?" Lantern turned his head in surprise, "That's a chrysalis?" β
"It's not a chrysalis either."
Delphinium let go of the blade of her masterpiece, which she held tightly in her hand, and the threads were re-knitted, and a weapon that looked like a two-handed sword appeared in her hand: "To be exact, this kind of creature should be called 'Shell Breaker', or 'Half-Molted'." β
"Sounds like a nondescript name...... "Lantern snapped.
"The real metamorphosis, but only the flower level can deal with it."
Grabbing the two-handed sword in his hand, the delphinium lowered the center of gravity of her body while lowering her voice: "If it is really a metamorphosis, then you will never have a chance to see me alive before." β
"Is that an exaggeration?" Lantern Zhan was a little shocked at this time, "I thought that the bud level was already on par with the metamorphosis, after all, you see, a powerful leaf level can generally pick up a chrysalis alone, right?" β
"The evolutionary level of the remnant beast is only related to their life stage, not to the magical girl's ability to open up a one-to-one."
Delphinch sighed: "Why doesn't a bud level even know this?" What certification badge do you have now? β
"White Label ......"
Lamp chanted a little embarrassedly: "I was just promoted to the bud level at the beginning of the year, and I went to take the nameplate certification exam in March and was brushed off......"
The delphinium looked at her helplessly, and was about to say something when threads of flesh and blood burst out of the smoke screen and shot straight in the direction where they were.
The expressions of the two magical girls suddenly returned to seriousness, and each jumped in a different direction, and then dodged this attack.
It's just that, to their surprise, the thread that was shot out didn't seem to have any strength. It flew briefly for a short distance after striking into the air, then slammed into the wall of the nest nearby, making a "pop" and exploding into a cloud of blood.
Almost at the same time, the sound of "pop" and "pop" sounded throughout the nest, and it was endless.
After hearing these sounds, the delphinium paused slightly, and then, as if realizing something, shouted at the lamp, "Barrier! β
"Huh?" The lamp replied with some surprise, but still subconsciously punched out the Favo rune from his sleeve, and a magic barrier formed in front of her in an instant.
And that's not the end of it, as Delphinium unfurls her costume at the same time, and the silk threads once again weave a hollow protective net, enveloping the two of them together.
Then, with a loud roar, the entire nest began to shake violently.
"What the hell is this?" In the midst of the noise, the lamp raised his voice and asked the delphinium.
"It's a nest."
The delphinium stared at the spatial changes outside the costume, and spat out these words from between her teeth: "The previous nest belonged to the big guy who turned into a puppet, and now this is its own nest." β
"Beyond the nest above the chrysalis, doesn't that mean ......"
Lamplight pondered what the delphinium had said, and looked up with her, looking up at the sky.
After the roar, the two of them were completely in a different space.
Different from the blazing white lights and silver-white walls of the previous strategy style, the current lair has obviously changed its appearance, and what is displayed in front of the two of them is a disgusting scene.
- It's a damp nest of broken bones.
There were corpses everywhere in sight, and the stumps everywhere as far as the eye could see, even the most enthusiastic battlefield, the cruel scene that could not be seen in the most fierce execution ground, were all displayed in front of the two.
The rancid stench, even more disgusting than the lair of the giant remnant beast before, penetrated the network of magic costumes, causing the lamp to nearly vomit.
The delphinium didn't react at all.
Of course, she is not completely without feelings, but this feeling is not the point for her now.
Looking beyond the bones around it, the delphinch's gaze was fixed on the center of the cave not far away.
In the center of the cavern, a huge cobweb of flesh and flesh lay out of it, and more sarcomas hung down from the web, like a freezer full of pork in a slaughterhouse.
And above the cobweb, there are several completely different figures.
Several girls of different shapes and dresses, but all dressed in golden robes, hung silently there.
All of them were firmly bound by flesh and blood spider silk, and the whole person was tied like a rice dumpling, hanging in the center of the spider web, not moving. Only the faint magical light that flickered around them was enough to prove that they were not completely dead.
It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that this situation can't last long.
The flesh and blood spider silk bound to their bodies was like a pipe, drawing their magic from their bodies and sending them to the cobwebs. And every time the spider silk agitated, the breath of the cat tail and others became weaker and weaker.
The price of the continuous extraction of magic power is that the bodies of several magical girls have begun to become illusory, and even somewhat transparent, which means that their true appearance has been damaged.
If this continues, it is only a matter of time before several magical girls in the investigation team die completely.
The "cat-tailed senior......" lantern also saw this scene, and subconsciously wanted to shout, but was stopped by the delphinium reaching out.
"They're still alive." Delphinium shook her head, "Don't be distracted, deal with the enemy first." β
"Whew, I know." The lantern calmed down, but his heart was still full of anger, "It's just treating them like ......"
"What they need is magic, and magical girls with a high enough level of enlightenment can produce a steady stream of magic power, and they can do this kind of thing with their moral bottom line that monsters generally don't exist."
The delphinium lowered her arm and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, this guy's ability is definitely more than that, even if it is not a complete metamorphosis, after breaking through the boundary of the chrysalis level, its nest has changed." β
Although incomplete, the "shell breaker", that is, the essence of the half-molt, is very different from the chrysalis.
As the literal meaning is expressed, the remnant beast turns from "chrysalis" to "molt", just like an insect turns into an adult after pupating, which is a huge leap in the life level.
And as the signature ability of the chrysalis remnant beast, the nest will also begin to change drastically after it steps up the ladder of metamorphosis.
"You mean, there's already a rule for its lair?" Lantern asked with some seriousness.
"Nine times out of ten, it's 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 lair will only have its own rules, which will be very disadvantageous to us." β
The so-called "rules" are a special use of the power of the soul.
Whether it is a magical girl whose ability to open up to the bud level and awaken the wonderland; Or evolution broke through the boundaries of the chrysalis ladder, and the remnants of the beasts that touched the ladder of metamorphosis, as their souls further strengthened, and the power of mind and will gradually manifested, they formed an ability called rules.
This rule only works in the wonderland of magical girls, or in the lair of remnant beasts.
Because it comes from the soul and will.,So the abilities embodied in the rules are naturally strange.,But it's often related to the magic girl's magic costume.γ
After all, the ability of the magic costume comes from the essence, and the essence contains the soul, and the magic costume is inextricably linked to the itinerary of the rules of Wonderland.
Delphinium once saw a magical girl, whose magic costume is a stopwatch, and the rules of Wonderland are the game of "one, two, three wooden people", and this rule will work together with its magic stopwatch. As long as the stopwatch stops beating, the entire wonderland, including the magical girl herself, must stop moving, otherwise the moving limbs will age rapidly. If you break the rules too many times, your limbs may decay into a pinch of dust.
And as the owner of Wonderland, the magical girl's biggest advantage is that she knows when the stopwatch stops. So she can move freely at will while the costume is turning normally.
Correspondingly, enemies who don't know when the stopwatch will stop can only try to stay still as much as possible, and don't even dare to get out of the atmosphere, unless they desperately don't dare to move their bodies at all. Naturally, they will fall into a huge disadvantage in the fight with her.
The strength of the rules lies in this, as long as the strength of the soul and will is not too weak than the enemy, then in their own wonderland, the enemy must follow the rules, otherwise they will pay an extremely tragic price.
It's just that when Delphinium made her own suggestion, the lantern on the side suddenly fell silent.
This made Delphinium feel a little strange for a while, and she couldn't help but continue to ask, "What's wrong?" You don't need Wonderland right now? β
"No, not that." The lamp raised his head slightly, and said helplessly, "It's just that my wonderland may not be convenient to use here." β
"I know, I'm not going to hold you accountable for the rules of Wonderland." Delphinium paused to look at her, "You just need to tell me what to do when and when." β
She can understand the feelings of a magical girl who doesn't want to expose her Wonderland rules, after all, the biggest power of the rules themselves is the poor information, and when the enemy doesn't know the rules, the rules are the most lethal.
A rule known to the enemy, no matter how serious the cost of violating it, will greatly reduce its threat.
It's just that, after listening to her words, Dengzhan still shook his head: "It's not a problem, I don't really mind that others know my rules, it's just ......"
"Just?" Delphinium raised an eyebrow.
"I can't even control the rules of my wonderland." Lantern replied with an embarrassed face, "I've often been injured myself when practicing using Wonderland, so ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, the beast's attack began again.
Spear-sharp claws stabbed out of the darkness and smashed into the wall of the delphinium's suit, not shattering it, but easily carving out a hole.
After the spider's claws pierced into the inner side of the suit, several strands of flesh and flesh silk protruded through the hole, quickly pounced on the delphinium's head.
The delphinium had never let its guard down, so it reacted the moment the attack began, raised its hand, and condensed another barrier to block the attack of the spider silk.
"Then use it at the right time, and try to affect the enemy at one time."
She still didn't forget to open her mouth in the hand-to-hand encounter, and then, waving the magic suit that turned into a masterpiece blade in her hand, she slashed at the spider claw that stabbed her.
Zila!
There was a tooth-aching grinding sound, and the blades slashed against the spider's claws, and even faintly visible sparks could be seen.
The blow failed to make a difference, the delphinium was not arrogant or impatient, her heart was like a mirror, and she drove her magic power to move in the air several times, and she had already flown from the position of the spider's claw to the upper body of the remnant beast.
Trying to power his suit and deliver a powerful attack to his enemies at close range, Delphinium wraps his masterpiece around his hands and turns it into a giant fist.
However, the moment she wanted to smash her fist, she found that her elbow could not bend for some reason.
She glanced over to her arm, and saw that a string of spider silk had appeared in it, wrapped around her joints, locking it firmly.
- Rules.
These two words came to mind again, but before the delphinium could make any further movements, the spider claws had already stabbed from below.
A friend asked me to help push the book: "The Savior is Busy Forking": An awkward book that will make people want to complain but for some reason, there is nothing else (the author said).
"From being asked to behead, the mind is clear"
