The sudden attack forced the delphinium to abandon its intention to continue the attack. She used her magic to pull off a quick takeover in the air, spinning her body and slamming her fist into the spider spear, narrowly dodging the attack from below.

However, this does not mean the end of the crisis. The remnant beast in front of her can realize that the magical girl in front of her has been affected by the rules, and naturally there is no reason to stop there. Soon, the remnant beast chased after him, trying to chase the delphinium.

In the critical situation, the lantern intervened in time and took over the position of the delphinium, and the two magical girls fought and retreated, and finally reluctantly resolved the attack of the remnant beast.

However, the spider silk at the elbow of the delphinium still could not be disposed of.

In the gaps of battle, she repeatedly used her masterpiece to cut through the spider silk that entwined her, trying to break free, but to no avail. This rule-based spider silk is completely unaffected by her costume or magical powers.

What's more, as she saw the spider silk on her arm, she found that the spider silk wrapped around her seemed to be no different from the one tied to Cattail and the others. This finally made her realize what the spider meant by "first-hand" before she transformed.

The previous Cattail team had apparently also fought the spider, and the reason why the entire team was defeated here was obviously because they failed to overcome the rules of this remnant.

Even if it was herself, when her elbow was entangled in special spider silk, not only was it difficult for her arms to fold and move, but even the operation of her magic here became very sluggish.

"How's it going?" Seeing the grim expression of the delphinch, the lantern on the side couldn't help asking, "Can't you get rid of it?" ”

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

Delphinium gave up on handling the spider silk on her body and breathed a sigh of relief: "We have to figure out what its rules are first, otherwise even attacks will be clamped down." ”

The spider silk on her arm appeared when she tried to chase the remnant, and while it wasn't known if there was a connection between the two, it didn't stop her from being cautious until then.

"But......" The lantern stopped talking, and glanced up at the cobwebs in the air.

The delphinium looked up with the lantern, only to see that above the cobwebs in the air, the magic fluctuations on the cattail and others were getting weaker and weaker.

With the perception of the magic of two people as magical girls, it is not difficult to find out where these magic powers are going: they are all sent into the body of the remnant beast along the spider silk.

Obviously, due to the attrition generated by the previous battle, the remnant beast has accelerated the rate of mana drain. And at this rate, I'm afraid that before the battle is over, Cattail and the others will be weakened and die.

The delphinium was silent.

It's not like she doesn't have a winning plan in mind, but speed and safety obviously can't have both.

If she wants to protect herself and the lantern, and the two of them can defeat the remnant beast in front of her intact, she is destined to not act impulsively, and must observe the other party's rules before finding an opportunity to attack.

And if you want to save the cat's tail, you will definitely not have time to slowly explore the rules, so you can only use a more radical plan.

"Lights, go your separate ways."

After weighing her heart, she spoke again: "You go up to save people, and I will deal with this remnant beast below." ”

"Huh? No, no! ”

Hearing this, the lamp hurriedly shook his head: "Senior, you have been affected by its rules, even if you want to keep people, it should be me who is in relatively good condition!" ”

"You've just been seriously injured before, how can you get better?"

Delphinium glanced at her, "And you've already lost to it once before, so I can't rest assured that you'll be left alone to deal with it." ”

"But......" Lantern tried to refute, but Delphia didn't give her a chance to argue.

"Don't waste time."

Stretching out her hand to push away the lantern, the delphinium took a posture in response to the remnant beast that was about to attack again in the air: "If there are no rules in the way, I am confident that I can kill it quickly." ”

As the words fell, the spider silk shot out of the darkness again, and the delphinium rushed out with the magic costume, fighting the remnants again.

The blood-red spider silk mixed with purple-black magic and the azure magic silk were entangled in the nest, and the blade of the masterpiece of magic collided fiercely with the exoskeleton of the remnant beast, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

After all, Lantern obeyed the command of the delphinium, let go of the useless worries in his heart, and flew towards the cobwebs in the air. Leaving the delphinium on the ground to engage in a dangerous battle with the remnants.

The irrational remnant beast can't understand what the two magical girls are doing separately, and in its opinion, since there is only one magical girl left in front of it, it is undoubtedly a good time to kill each other as soon as possible.

So it ignored the departing lantern and launched an even more furious attack on the delphinium.

Soon after the battle began, the Delphinium's arm, which had been entangled in spider silk, was completely wrapped in it, completely losing the ability to invoke magical power.

This forced her to abandon two-handed combat in favor of one-handed and Demonic Silk Threads, but it also made her fighting style inevitably biased towards defense.

With only one hand left to move normally, she must prioritize the safety of the other hand, and if both hands are incapacitated, the situation will become even worse.

Other than that, her head hurts.

The side effects of the full burst of magic are becoming more and more serious, and even make her movements out of shape several times. The pain was so intense that she had to clench her teeth to avoid exhaling in pain; Her body's instincts persuaded her to do it quickly, but she knew that now was not the time for a quick one.

And even though the situation is extremely unoptimistic, the delphinium still remains calm.

In the midst of the headache that made the eyes glaze, the delphinium was still thinking. She carefully observed the behavior of the beast in front of her, piecing together clues in her mind that might be useful.

She could feel that the remnant beast in front of her seemed to be following some special law of action, so she repeatedly let herself and others retreat and regroup, what was this law?

Thinking about everything that had happened since the sight of the spider, the delphinium always felt that the answer was already lurking in it.

At the beginning, he and Lantern carried out a surprise attack on the spider together, and he attacked the spider from behind with a magic costume, and this attack should be effective, otherwise the other party would have no reason to endure his interrogation.

This attack should have succeeded in abolishing the spider's normal combat ability, and the forbidden magic made him unable to use his magic power, and he had to access the beast's intestine to regain his strength.

Delphinium began to think about what she would do if she was a spider and knew that only by transforming into a remnant would she have a chance to turn the tide of battle?

There is no doubt that he must be taking advantage of the fact that he still has the sanity as a human to make a series of arrangements for the next battle of transforming into a remnant beast.

The spider is willing to endure the interrogation of the delphinium and keep procrastinating for the sake of this.

So, what can he do under the nose of the delphinch?

There was already an answer to this, and that was the white spider remnant that was completely under his command.

A turning point in the spider's counterattack is when he lets the white spider sneak up from the air, attracting the attention of the delphinium and buying him time to transform. Until then, he should have commanded what the spider was doing in the sky above.

Airspace?

When the word came to mind, Delphinium suddenly felt a flash of inspiration flash through her mind.

Because she suddenly remembered what the spider had been doing before the battle began.

- He's looking at the sky.

What the hell was he looking at? What did you see that made you feel that the time was ripe?

These two questions made the delphinium seem to grasp the thread of the problem, and looked up in the midst of the chaos: all that could be seen was cobwebs.

In addition, there are also lamps that have approached Cat Tail and others, and are trying to use a technique to peel the cat tail from the flesh and web.

She really seems to be on the verge of success.

The spider silk that binds the cat's tail and the others is a product of the rules and cannot be easily removed, but the flesh and blood cobwebs in the air are obviously not.

The Lantern only needs to cut off the flesh webs and the part of the investigation team that sticks to each other to remove them from the air, preventing them from continuing to drain their mana.

However, this behavior is clearly not only noticed by the delphinch.

As the owner of the webs, the remnants obviously know more about their webs than the delphinium. When the lantern touched the side of the investigation team and was about to start a rescue, it knew what it meant, even if it lost most of its intelligence.

This means that the prey it has almost killed will be stolen.

In their own lair, as the master of this space, the remnant beast will not allow this behavior.

So after only a brief pause, it abandoned the seemingly hard-boned delphinium in front of it. It hissed angrily, its silk shrinking, and it tugged at itself and flew high into the air, trying to stop the lantern.

The delphinium subconsciously wanted to fly up, but after the magic exploded, she realized that her feet had been stuck to the ground by a ball of spider silk at some point.

She couldn't chase it.

The lantern next to the cobwebs was also attracted by the neighing of the remnant beast, and when he found that the target of the remnant beast had become himself, he began to condense his spell and prepare for the battle with the remnant beast.

But this is absolutely not a no-go, and Delphinium knows this very well.

I'm afraid that the lantern in the air will not be the opponent of this remnant beast, her injuries have not healed, and her grasp of the wonderland is not good enough, if she is here to watch her fight the remnant beast, the probability of the lantern being able to win will definitely not exceed 20%.

What to do? What can you do to get the beast's attention back?

The brain thought quickly, but still couldn't think of anything, seeing the remnant beast getting closer and closer to the cobwebs in the air, the delphinium widened its eyes and finally made a decision.

She had to take a gamble.

She already had an answer in her mind about what the rules of the remnant beast were, and what the spider did before transforming, but she wasn't sure that the answer was right.

But to get the fight done as well as possible, she needed to take a gamble.

"Lamp!"

So the delphinium raised her voice and shouted at the lantern in the air, "Leave the beast alone, attack the cobwebs on my head with all your might!" Full! ”

"Huh?"

The lantern that was about to be taken off by the technique looked slightly stunned.

She didn't know why Delphinium had given such instructions. Because this act does not seem to have the slightest relationship with the battle situation in front of us.

If Delphinium told her to ignore the Beast Remnant and save the Investigation Team first, or protect the Investigation Team from fighting the Beast, she could understand these orders, but attacking a cobweb that had nothing to do with it was still beyond her comprehension.

At the same time as she was stunned, the delphinium on the ground had already opened its hand, and the masterpiece that had been condensed around her returned to its original appearance, turning into countless silk threads, climbing up the outer wall of the nest.

These magical threads instantly intertwined into another network in the air, blocking the remnant beasts that were originally rushing into the air, blocking them in mid-air.

However, this barrier does not last long.

The remnant beast that the two of them are dealing with at the moment is a half-molt, which is not the same as those small fish and shrimp of the egg level before, and the strength of the magic silk thread is not enough to restrain the remnant beast at this stage. Therefore, the web woven by the delphinium lasted only a few seconds, and several rifts were torn open under the impact of the remnant beast.

The delphinium can only constantly control the silk threads to fill in the loopholes to stop the beast's movements.

This behavior bought time for the lantern in the sky, and finally made her realize that the delphinium was not talking nonsense, and that the delphinium really seemed to have something she didn't know about.

So the lamp was stunned, and immediately turned the technique in his hand, and pointed the nail spear towards the flesh network not far away. The network corresponds to the area above the delphinium's head.

She carefully controlled her magic, pouring the vast majority of her power into this attack, and in an instant, the spell burst out of her hand.

Hundreds of magical nail spears flashed through the air, raining down on the cobweb, and after a brief stalemate between the dark brown mana and the flesh web, a torrent of magic power pierced through the web, completely destroying the structure of that piece.

The smoke screen of magical power, the broken flesh, the unknown liquid overflowing due to the break, and the cobwebs that were pierced instantly exploded into a huge hollow.

To the surprise of the lantern, when the cobwebs were blown open, the remnants of the beasts in mid-air also let out a miserable wail.

"Squeak—"

Its voice became extremely sharp and high-pitched, as if it had suffered a great deal of pain.

Then, the lantern saw a torrent of azure magic burst out from the ground.

Seconds after the webs were shattered, the delphinium was already in mid-air from the ground.

Using her magic power with all her might, her whole body flashed with blue light, and her eyes were filled with incomparably cold killing intent. She stretched out a hand, which seemed to hold some extremely small object in her hand, and rushed towards the remnant.

The silk that had been wrapped around her had disappeared at some point.

As it turned out, Delphinium's answer was correct. Because the rule of the spider, probably as its name suggests, and its manifestation, is the spider's web.

When he was attacked by the delphinium in his human form and thus controlled by forbidden magic, he would choose to delay the time, just to let the white spider weave such a web in the air.

When it becomes a remnant beast, its rules are actually very simple - as long as it is shrouded in cobwebs, it will be entangled in cobwebs.

It's not direct contact, it's shrouded – this means that if someone steps on the ground and touches the area corresponding to the cobwebs in the air, that person will also get entangled in the cobwebs.

This was surmised by the delphinium from the strange steps of the remnant beast itself.

It kept giving the two Delphinium opportunities to lure them to fight them under the webs, but it never stepped into the edge of the web-shrouded area.

It is precisely because of this that the attack on the spider silk wrapped around the delphinium will be useless: after all, these spider silks are essentially just the product of rules, it is just a projection of the spider web on the top of the head, how can the attack projection hurt the body?

And when the cobwebs were pierced, why the remnants of the beast behaved in such pain, the delphinium did not know.

She didn't need to know.

Because at this time, she had already risen into the air, and the surging torrent of magic power was like a materialized killing intent, representing the current mood of the delphinium.

She didn't have to know so clearly about the idea of a monster, a dying man.

The delphinch's hand shimmered with a metallic sheen, and in a blue glow, it flashed from the body of the remnant beast and appeared above the remnant. Then, a torrent of magical power poured out from the body of the remnant beast and the network of magical power.

In mid-air, the cobwebs, which had already been torn apart, became crumbling, and the originally bright red flesh and blood silk began to turn black and gray, and the spider silk lost its source of strength and began to shrink rapidly.

Purple-black blood droplets fell from the sky, and in addition to the magical light, a pitch-black nest began to shake inexplicably.

"-Squeak!"

Then, with the miserable wail of the remnant beast, the body of the remnant beast blocked by the blue silk thread in the air split in an instant.

Rumble!

It fell to the ground in a blast of blood and uncontrolled magic, eventually exploding into untold pieces.
