Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 429 - 79 Fierce Battle_2

That was Bai Jingxuan.

However, present was a Bai Jingxuan whom no one except Emerald Sparrow had ever seen.

Her sclerae had turned completely black just like a kite’s, and her immense magic power far surpassed that of a normal Ye Level Magical Girl. Standing opposite Yuan, although much shorter in stature, her aura was not much weaker.

Her eyes brimmed with a murderous intent, almost daring someone to meet her gaze.

"...So it turns out, you are that ’Bai Jingxuan’?"

However, Yuan seemed completely oblivious to this murderous intent. She clapped her hands joyously and said, "So that’s it! No wonder the boss specifically asked me to bring you along. This is really interesting!"

Bai Jingxuan did not respond to her at all.

She remained silent and suddenly lunged forward like a wild beast that had lost its sanity.

In the dark of night, two masses of dark-colored magic power collided, making it hard for the others present to determine who had the upper hand.

The black and green beast unleashed its magic power wildly, seemingly indifferent to Yuan’s attacks. Regardless of whether its body was wounded by weapons or its magic power was weakened by the mist, it continued relentlessly, as if determined to perish together with its foe.

This desperate fighting style, coupled with equally strong magic power, managed to momentarily restrain Yuan.

However, it didn’t take long for Yuan to discern a pattern amidst the seemingly chaotic combat.

She weaved through the furious assaults like a frail boat amidst giant waves and then, exploiting a tiny flaw, pressed her palm against Bai Jingxuan’s abdomen.

"Great potential, but still too green."

She commented thus.

Immediately after, the pitch-black magic power surrounding her abruptly paused, fading momentarily as layers of dark ripples furiously spread outwards.

A tremendous humming sound emanated from Yuan’s palm, as if the very air itself was shattered, with fine cracks spreading from her hand.

"Bang"

Then, Bai Jingxuan was flung away.

Like being struck by some colossal force out of thin air, she was propelled like a cannonball, her speed so fast that ordinary human eyes couldn’t capture it.

A sharp whooshing sound grazed past the ears of those present as Bai Jingxuan’s body flew, almost falling off the mountain and plummeting down the cliff.

Fortunately, Hong Siyu was quick to react.

Opening her notebook, a purplish-red magic power promptly formed a net in Bai Jingxuan’s flight path, catching her.

Yuan naturally could not just watch this unfold. As soon as Bai Jingxuan was caught, she had already charged again towards Hong Siyu. This time, numerous shadows holding different weapons emerged from the black mist, attacking simultaneously.

It was Margaret’s turn to save the day.

She timely blocked Yuan’s swung weapon with her magic wand. Amidst a brief explosive sound, she unexpectedly pushed her magic wand down a bit, blocking a second assault from within the black mist.

"Retreat, use firepower to restrain her!"

While shouting, she pushed Hong Siyu back, and then her magic wand once again transformed into Magic Armor in the shape of a goblet. As the liquid spilled from the cup, she tangled with Yuan in close combat.

All this was seen by Emerald Sparrow.

At this moment, she had been placed by Asou Haruka beside a tree, leaning weakly against the trunk, merely watching the battle unfold.

The hole in her chest could be repaired with magic power, but it required a huge amount. Therefore, she had to reduce her movements and let the magic power quickly mend her wounds.

But being unable to join the battle did not mean she was helpless about the situation.

Just as she had said to Lin Xiaolu just now, in her view, "the situation already belonged to their side."

For just at that moment, when she was solidly impacted by the attack, she seemed to have vaguely understood a part of the opponent’s extensive abilities.

Unlike the first encounter at the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, this time, Emerald Sparrow hadn’t said a word until now and hadn’t mentioned her abilities after unleashing Beast Heart Liberation.

Without doubt, she was also guarding against Magic Armor.

During their last encounter, because Emerald Sparrow had carelessly revealed one of her core abilities, "Qi," it led her to be sealed off by that ability and ultimately resulted in her defeat. She clearly hadn’t forgotten this event.

It was also for that reason Emerald Sparrow hadn’t asked for Hong Siyu’s assistance until now to use that exceedingly unstable second Magic Armor.

Because she had to ensure her scissors were used at the most critical point.

So far, Emerald Sparrow’s Beast Heart Liberation had exhibited quite comprehensive abilities, not only retaining the ability of her Magic Armor to transform into weapons but also demonstrating enhancements in speed, strength, magic power, and even mixing with "Qi" to exert a certain suppressive effect on her own abilities.

Enhancing her own qualities while weakening the enemy’s combat capabilities can be said to be quite brutal and simple.

However, knowing these wasn’t enough.

How extensive were her abilities? How large was the impact range? Was it truly worth using her scissors? More importantly, to use her scissors to remove this part of the ability, Emerald Sparrow had to first understand the essence of it.

Just then, she caught that fleeting insight.

When Emerald Sparrow’s katana was about to pierce her chest, she realized—this was risky, but it was also an opportunity.

The opponent’s speed was extremely fast, and with normal means, one couldn’t even touch her trace, so there had been no effective attacks previously. However fast she might be, during the moment of attack, Emerald Sparrow was unable to move greatly.

That is to say, the moment Emerald Sparrow attacked her was actually the best time to counterattack.

As for how to counterattack, it was quite simple: use the silk threads connected behind her. Several threads connected to her body, originally meant to pull and assist movement, but their role wasn’t fixed. As long as she shifted the threads’ connected points on her body, they could transform from a tool aiding movement into a weapon inflicting damage on Emerald Sparrow.

Then, where should she move the connection point of the threads?

The decision she made at that moment was to move directly towards the position where the magic power source was locked.

Because at that instant, Emerald Sparrow’s katana would inevitably head towards that point, and the threads could simultaneously cut her opponent’s arm at the same time.

This was what happened in that flash of a moment, and it turned out, her idea was correct.

When the katana pierced through her chest, the sensation transmitted through the thread didn’t lie; Emerald Sparrow was cut.

Even though the exchange was not at all equal, she suffered far more in terms of injuries and depleted magic power than her opponent, but, she succeeded in inflicting effective damage for the first time.

Although the threads merely cut and didn’t cause real damage, the important thing was, she discovered something, something far more crucial than any other exchanges before.

—Emerald Sparrow hesitated for a moment; it seemed she was pondering whether or not to endure this strike.

This was an intriguing performance.

Emerald Sparrow’s Beast Heart Liberation clearly involved not only increases in speed and magic power but also an exaggerated improvement in her body’s external pressure and defensive capabilities.

That is to say, even if her threads cut Emerald Sparrow, she wouldn’t lose too much magic power.

So, why the hesitation?

Emerald Sparrow couldn’t find the truth with just this information, but, having this bit of information was already enough.

"Asou."

Just as she understood this point, she raised her voice, addressing Asou Haruka who was entangled with Emerald Sparrow nearby:

— "Unleash it."
