In the center of Fangting City, under the purple-black light curtain, the battle between the magical girls has been going on for a long time and has entered a white-hot stage.

A huge, cocoon-like mass of flesh suspended in the light curtain, and a huge remnant beast's head poked out from the top of the flesh, spewing purple-black magical breath into the surrounding ground.

This magic is so corrosive that touching a building will corrupt its surface, and the downtown neighborhood has become a mess with no sign of what it used to be.

The only thing to be thankful for is that on the night of the full moon festival, there were not too many people gathered in the business district in the city center, and a very small number of people chose to flee after feeling bad, and not too many people were affected at the scene.

Above the scorched earth, light blue, hibiscus, and light green magic were entangled with the remnant beast.

"Xiaolu, this remnant beast is not at the same level as the previous opponents at all, it is an enemy that you have never encountered so far, and its evolution level should have reached the chrysalis level!"

Lying on Lin Xiaolu's shoulder, Mo Ke raised his voice against the wind pressure and said:

"The chrysalis are different from the ordinary remnants we usually encounter, their body surface has a structure called a pupal shell, if the mana output can't exceed its upper limit, then it will never be possible to cause damage to it!"

"Do you still know about the remnants?" Lin Xiaolu narrowly and dangerously brushed against a purple-black magic power, but there was no nervousness on her face.

"Now question this in reverse?" Moco raises his voice.

"No, how can I put it, it's just feeling...... A bit of a surprise? ”

"Now is not the time to talk about this stuff! If you continue like this, you won't be able to hurt it even if you run out of mana! ”

"Okay, I know, I know!"

Lin Xiaolu responded loudly while flying at high speed in the air: "Anyway, just burst the turtle shell on its surface, right?" It's just like the nasty uncle I met in the welfare home before! ”

"This guy is so much better than that savage thug!" Moco corrects.

"Anyway, we're not what we used to be! We have usually considered the relevant plan! ”

Lin Xiaolu raised his hand and gestured to Xia Liang: "Xia Liang!" ”

"I know!"

With Lin Xiaolu's shout and Xia Liang's response, several mirrors flickered, rotating and moving to surround the remnant beast in the center, and the magic power of different colors gathered from the hands of the three magical girls to the mirror, and after a short turnaround, they focused on the head of the remnant beast.

"Bai Jingxuan!"

"Okay!"

The magical girl with a single green ponytail opened her hands, and the small box that she had been holding in her hand suddenly opened, and the light and agile music sounded, making the already strong flow of magic transmitted to the mirror suddenly become more surging.

This is Bai Jingxuan's magic costume, and its name is Tianyin.

Its ability to play different pieces of music through the resonance manipulation of magic will have different effects on the surrounding things depending on the rhythm, melody and timbre of the music.

Because the time for awakening and development is still short, Bai Jingxuan has only developed two uses of it: activating limbs and activating magic.

The former can accelerate the body's self-healing and recovery ability, and can also consume a certain amount of energy to improve a person's exercise ability; The latter, as she did now, drove the costume in the most unadorned way possible, activating the magic and making it more active and restless.

It was precisely because of this that she was able to make the magic power that had originally gathered in the mirror of Xia Liang's magic costume become more and more turbulent.

A week ago, under the joint guidance of Hong Si and Xia Liang, Bai Jingxuan completed the flowering of her bud-level ability and obtained her own magic costume.

At that time, she didn't figure out her ability to use the magic costume, and she didn't master the method of using the magic costume, so she left a careful thought and put the matter aside without telling the delphinium.

According to her original idea, she actually wanted to wait for Delphinium to come back before she said it to her face, so as to surprise Delphinium and let the other party praise herself.

Everyone else also guessed Bai Jingxuan's careful thoughts, so they deliberately didn't break it, and they didn't mention it to Delphinch.

It's just that no one thought that before the delphinium returned, the ability of this magic costume would be used on the battlefield first.

The surging magic beams were stimulated from the surface of Xia Liang's magic costume, and the light blue, hibiscus purple, and light green magic gathered together, and together they bombarded towards the remnants of the beast in the distance.

The torrent of magic came in an instant, concentrated on one point, and exploded at the head of the remnant beast. At first, there was some kind of structure like a skin on the surface of the remnant's body, which was crumpled on top of each other, blocking the impact of the magic power. But soon, the structure was broken open by the combined attack of the three of them, and then it violently cracked into a huge gap.

The three-colored beam of magic pierced through the gap in its skin and struck the remnant's head solidly.

"Whoa, whoa!"

A deafening cry rang out over the center of the city, and the pain-crippling beast writhed its cocooned body and let out a cry of unknown meaning. Then, it increased the frequency of its attacks, and once again spat out a corrosive magical breath at the magical girls.

The three rookie magical girls, or the three new-generation magical girls, had already been prepared, and they had already dodged the moment the remnant beast breathed, and the remnant beast's attack had no effect.

"It worked!"

Seeing that the effect of this attack reached or even exceeded his imagination, Xia Liang couldn't help but clench his fists and cheered quietly.

"Chrysalis is nothing more than that!"

Lin Xiaolu retreated to her side, with a smug face: "As long as you can break through the defense for the first time, you will definitely be able to break through the second time, and there is absolutely no problem in killing this big guy!" ”

"It has nothing to do with you, right?"

Mo Ke, who was lying on her shoulder, couldn't help but splash her with a basin of cold water: "It's obviously the magic costumes of the other two people who are working, how can there be a kind of class here to make a big fuss?" ”

"Huh? A goblin who can't even keep up with the speed of flight, and can only lie on someone else's body, is also qualified to say me? ”

Lin Xiaolu glared at it angrily: "The progress of ability enlightenment can't tell everything, right?" My magic hasn't stopped growing over the past few months, and now it's definitely much more powerful than the average level! ”

"Isn't that still a species-level ......?"

Mo Ke muttered in a low voice, but he did not refute Lin Xiaolu's statement.

Because what Lin Xiaolu said is the truth. In the past few months, although she has never touched the boundaries of her ability to open up, the growth of her magic has never stopped.

In the beginning, her magical power was not much different from the average cast, but since then, especially after the First World War, she has reached a level far beyond the caste.

If it weren't for Lin Xiaolu's failure to complete Kaihua and obtain her own magic costume, no one would think that she was just a species.

"You two, don't talk about it at this time."

Xia Liang smiled helplessly on the side, and remobilized his magic costume: "Now concentrate on knocking this big guy down, right?" ”

“…… That's right. ”

Lin Xiaolu, who originally wanted to quarrel with Moke, suddenly stopped arguing, looked at the increasingly manic remnant beast not far away, and re-clenched his wand: "The battle hasn't been won yet, it's too early to start celebrating now." ”

Bai Jingxuan on the side did not interject, but silently released her magic power and played the music of the music box.

The battle resumed.

The biggest advantage of pupal remnants compared to low-level remnants is that they have their own nests and chrysalis shells with naturally high defense.

And right now, this chrysalis, for some reason, appeared alone in the center of the city, and there was no nest space of its own. This also means that there are no eggs and beetles around for it to command and drive, and its combat ability is weak.

When the magical girls find a way to break the defense of the remnant beast, they have found the key to defeat it, which is enough to dissolve all the advantages of this remnant beast at the evolutionary level. As a result, the battle inevitably turned one-sided.

Led by Xia Liang, Bai Jingxuan provided the amplification, Lin Xiaolu provided the magic power, and the three of them worked together to shoot out one shot after another of the magic power beam through the transformation of the magic suit - such a strong impact can no longer even be called a magic beam, it is more appropriate to call it a shelling.

The continuous shelling caused the chrysalis in the air to retreat, constantly wailing and hissing, and the wounds on their bodies became more and more weak.

Obviously, it won't last much longer.

"Moko! You take my phone! ”

After another shelling, Lin Xiaolu took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his bra apron and handed it to Moke: "When we clean up this big guy, remember to take a picture of the delphinch!" ”

“…… You're too excited, aren't you? ”

Mo Ke took the phone a little helplessly: "Treat the battle so lightly, be careful to show the photos to the patrol so that the adults will be criticized after they see it." ”

"Delphinium wouldn't be like that." Lin Xiaolu was noncommittal.

"I think I'd better tell the juniors the ins and outs of the matter later, right?"

Xia Liang suggested on the side: "Although we rashly came to challenge the chrysalis remnant beast and won the battle at the right time and place, she would still be worried when she knew it for the first time, right?" ”

"It's better not to let the teacher be scared." Bai Jingxuan also added in a low voice.

"Hmm...... That's true. ”

Lin Xiaolu floated in mid-air and thought for a while, then raised his wand again: "Then, the next thing, let's discuss how to report it later, it's better to ...... it first."

She stopped in the middle of her sentence.

Not only her, but Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang on the side also stopped suddenly. The eyes of the three of them invariably fell to the ground not far away.

The purple-black pillar of light in the center of the block emitted a dazzling light, and this light naturally cast shadows on things in the air, reflecting them on the ground and stretching them infinitely.

And at this moment, at some point, in front of the three of them, there was suddenly an extra shadow.

It was an incomparably slender shadow, projected from the sky, faint at first, but as it spread to the magical girl's feet, it appeared a rich inky black.

Judging from its shape and outline, the shadow resembles an incomparably large moth.

At this moment, the master of the shadow was so quietly suspended in front of the remnant beast. Its form is nothing compared to the size of a giant beast, as small as an ant is to an elephant. But the shadow under its feet covered almost an entire block in front of it, far exceeding the size of the chrysalis remnant beast.

In the dark shadow beneath him, a huge sense of oppression and crisis washed away the nerves of several magical girls, and there was no doubt that everyone could sense that someone was not good.

Just facing the owner of the shadows from afar, Lin Xiaolu felt that his breathing was not smooth, the magic power around his body became extremely slow, even his heartbeat began to accelerate, and his body was tense as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

Her eyes widened slightly, her breathing quickened, staring at the figure in the distance, and she silently clenched the wand in her hand.

This feeling of tension and oppression felt all too familiar to her, in fact, she had experienced it more than once, so she could easily say what it was: it was a mortal threat, a premonition of death.

The owner of the shadow didn't move, as if he was observing several magical girls in the distance, and he was suspended motionless, like a sculpture.

After a brief stalemate, the unknown presence flickered slightly.

When its figure flickered and reappeared, it was already within a few meters of several magical girls. This startled several magical girls who were already waiting for them, and Lin Xiaolu even raised her hand to shoot a magic bullet as if she should respond.

However, this magic bullet did not have any effect, it did not even reach the mysterious figure in front of it, and when it was about to approach the other party, it inexplicably dissolved.

Only then did the girls see the face of the person who had come—it was a man in a black robe.

The other party has a slender and slender body, and his whole body is covered by a black robe, and there is no trace of physical characteristics. And the black robe, the magical girls present actually have an impression - the last time they saw this style of clothing was on the man called "Bing Touch Three" in the welfare home.

“…… Ember Dawn. ”

Lin Xiaolu read out the name she heard at that time.

And the black-robed man in front of him was also very different from the man at that time.

The surface of the opponent's black robe had a more complex and delicate dark gold pattern, and the image was still evil, but its outline was clearly recognizable: it was a golden moth with outstretched wings.

The other party's black robe was also topped with a high hat, which replaced the hood of the robe, and the long brim was pressed low, covering the face below and hiding the appearance.

"You guys really exceeded my expectations."

The black-robed man suddenly spoke, and a somewhat hoarse female voice came from under his hat: "It only takes five months to be able to grow to such a point, and even be able to suppress the remnants of the chrysalis level, which is very rare among magical girls." ”

Her words seemed to be complimenting, but none of the magical girls thought she was complimenting.

“…… Who are you? ”

As the first person to regain his composure among several people, Xia Liang stretched out his hand to stop Lin Xiaolu, who was a little nervous, and took the lead in speaking: "Hide your head and show your tail, don't you even dare to expose your true body when you do bad things?" ”

She was actually very nervous, so her voice couldn't help but be a little astringent. It's just that in this case, she didn't forget to provoke and try to extract the other party's information.

She thought very clearly: the mysterious black-robed man in front of her was probably not an enemy that the three of her side could deal with, and if something happened next, at least the identity of the enemy should be found out and spread out.

"An obvious little thought, what a lovely child."

Xia Liang's rough agitation method obviously couldn't hide from the black-robed man, but the other party didn't seem to be angry, but there was a little smile in his tone: "It's okay, as supporters of the Lord, we have always disdained to hide our names and surnames. ”

She reached out and grabbed the hat above her head, then jerked it off. An old, aged face appeared in front of several people like this.

It was a blonde, somewhat elderly woman with a peaceful smile on her face.

"First time we met, the children of Fangting City, my name is Mousse."

As she spoke, she bowed slightly, as if to salute, "Or you can translate my name from the Western Regions, describe it in the language of your Eastern Huazhou, and call me moth." ”
