Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 43 An Unforgivable Life (6000 words)

"You don't look like a magical girl at all right now!"

The magic flowed out roughly, and Yinluo, who had just learned to transform, naturally didn't have the finesse to control it. She just threw the magic around like pebbles.

Even so, it would be fatal enough for an ordinary person.

But Susan was trained after all, and even amidst the dense barrage of magic bombs, she was able to quickly find safe gaps to slip through, using the trees and walls along the way to barely buy herself some time.

I also tried shooting, but with the protection of the corrupted magic, the bullets couldn't even touch Silver.

She had two spares, but it seems unlikely she'll have a chance.

Fortunately, there are no residents around the disaster relief site; the surrounding area is all suburbs, with only one highway where vehicles occasionally pass by.

Because of the appearance of a calamity beast within the Disaster Management Bureau, a warning was recently broadcast, requiring unrelated personnel to evacuate immediately, so there is no need to worry about innocent people being affected.

Susan leaped again to avoid being caught by a magical tentacle, then flipped over and hid behind a piece of broken wall. The corrupted magic chased after her and slammed into the wall, but failed to destroy it.

Quickly draw your gun, reload, and chamber a round...

"Really? I feel like I've never been so close to a magical girl before." Yinlu tilted her head and suddenly waved her hand. "Is there something wrong with your understanding of magical girls, Susan?"

"boom!"

The dark magic instantly smashed the rubble that Susan had been using as cover into pieces. Susan was also thrown into the air, and her pistol was thrown away. Yinluo watched as Susan protected her head, and then sent out dozens of magical tentacles to attack Susan silently.

However, the magical tentacles melted and dripped to the ground as soon as they approached Susan.

Yinluo quickly noticed a spray bottle in Susan's hand, her face full of surprise:
"Using repellent spray against monsters? You actually carry something like that around with you?"

Susan, who had rolled on the ground, picked up the pistol and got up. "I've gotten used to it since I lost my ability to transform. After all, I can't keep causing trouble for others."

He threw away the spray, raised his gun, and aimed. "The spray works by deactivating the pollution magic to drive away the monsters, so it's very useful in situations like this. Have you learned something new, my worthless junior?"

Pull the trigger.

However, the pistol suddenly exploded!

She instinctively covered her face, and then the magic beneath her feet finally seized the opportunity, grabbing Susan's ankles and hoisting her up.

"Then let me teach you a little something, Susan. Sprays can't work on large amounts of pollution magic; they can only dispel small amounts."

Yinluo slowly walked to Susan's side, looking at her drooping face, "Moreover, bullets infused with pure magic will explode if they are blocked by contaminated magic and collide violently. Has Senior Susan learned this as well?"

"You're just as annoying as ever."

"You too."

But where did this pure magic come from? Did the peony specifically grant it to her?
Yinluo, who was constantly corrupting Susan with her polluting magic, planned to take her away alive.

After all, she was a former magical girl with potential, which makes her valuable to the Witch Association. If the captain can't bring back some spoils after using so many Lament Seeds, he might turn on her.

First, use the power of pollution to destroy it, then take it back as experimental material.

The magical girl I once admired was destroyed by my own hands, and I myself became a witch.

This somewhat lifted Yinluo's spirits.

This made Yinlu feel more inclined to confide in someone.

"Now you can understand me better, Susan. The pain of not being able to transform and not even being able to struggle when facing a powerful enemy, you must be able to empathize with me, right?"

Susan, struggling to resist the magic of pollution, watched Yinluo get closer and closer. "It's impossible for a person to truly empathize, Yinluo."

“That’s true.” Yinlu nodded. “After all, I also find it hard to understand what Susan felt when she lost her transformation power because of my little schemes. But I admire you, Susan. Even so, you were still able to stay in the Disaster Management Bureau. You truly deserve to be the magical girl I once admired. It’s hard for most people to do that.”

Susan's pupils dilated, and her voice was even a little hoarse, "You did this?"

"If you were a true magical girl, wouldn't you be able to overcome such a predicament? After all, you are a magical girl who holds miracles in your hands. Unfortunately, you were unable to meet my expectations until the very end."

In the space of the Disaster Management Bureau, the roars and tremors of the disaster beasts distorted the space, making the momentary peace here seem exceptionally unusual.

Silent, Susan took a deep breath and recalled everything she had experienced when she lost her ability to transform.

The torment and pain day and night, as well as the grievances and resentment.

It was such a long, long time.

Yinluo admired the changing expressions on the other person's face, feeling only pleasure and satisfaction.

However, the next second, she noticed that Susan was laughing.

Despite the crisis, having just learned that the murderer who had caused him so much suffering was right in front of him, he still managed a bright smile.

Such an infectious smile, it's like she's still a magical girl.

A smile I can never show.

So she reached out, wanting to tear that smile apart.

"You're right, I am the girl who holds miracles in her hands."

When a pendant fell from Susan's snow-white chest and touched Yinluo's palm, Yinluo's smile vanished instantly.

He abruptly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned.

The miracle seed on the pendant swayed gently on Susan's drooping cheek, radiating a soft yet brilliant light!
Now, in her transformed state, she, possessing corrupted magic, can naturally sense it.

The magic within is still active!

Susan's miracle seed is not already...

“I’ve come to meet your expectations, Yinluo.”

The Seed of Miracles touched her forehead, and fine blue threads, like water, spread out from the Seed of Miracles, centered on Susan, and spread out into a huge spider web in the grove.

The tentacles of filthy magic were cut, dispersed, and gradually weakened by the aquamarine threads.

"The tide."

The threads suddenly tightened and converged on Susan's body. "Roar!"

The moment the costume was put on, blue magic surged outwards like a waterfall, submerging all the corrupting magic, and Yinluo, who was standing nearby, was instantly blasted away!

Like a cannonball, it crashed straight into the distant ruins, and was immediately buried by stones, dust and all kinds of garbage!
"Transform!"

As the magic dissipated, a light blue magical girl stood in the center of the forest.

Her long, light blue hair swayed as if it had been scattered into water, and only slowly fell down after a long time. Her sky-blue eyes were somewhat transparent and ethereal. Her skirt swayed like water ripples, and there was even a small fish-like pattern on her chest, swimming in the magical girl's dress. Occasionally, it would leap out of the clothes, stirring up magical water-like splashes, and then fall back into the clothes.

This makes the magic armor resemble a vast ocean.

Zhulu picked up her wand and said gently, "When magical girls transform, they should stand far away, otherwise they'll end up like this, getting hit hard for no reason."

Climbing out of the ruins, Yinluo's face was filled with only cold ferocity. She looked at her demonic armor, which had even melted a bit, revealing a corner of an ugly and ferocious beast, and took a deep breath.

"Why can I transform again?"

He pressed his right hand, fingers together, down hard on the ground.

The massive magical block above, poised to strike, crashed down on Zhulu!

The dark magic cube kicked up dust again, but when the dust settled, the water rippled and enveloped Pearl Dew, keeping her safe and sound.

The black magic blocks slid off the side along the water ripples, without harming Zhulu in the slightest.

“A mediocre work, the third one, is a crystal-clear realm of ten thousand acres of blue waves.”

Holding her magic wand, Zhulu tilted her head, resembling a mermaid in the ripples of water, "Because of your wish, a miracle has been brought to me."

Zhu Lu hooked a thin blue thread with her little finger and gently pulled it down.

Yinluo's right hand was then pulled up, and only then did Yinluo realize with surprise that an extremely thin blue magic thread had somehow wrapped around her hand, which was now pulling her arm tightly. If she dared to exert any force, the thread would begin to seep into her skin.

Even black, filthy magic could not withstand it.

"As a special gift to my fans," Zhulu said, her hands weaving silk threads in the air with an elegant and beautiful touch, like gently caressing a musical instrument. "I'll teach you the precise manipulation of magic."

Compared to Yinluo, who had just transformed for the first time and was only randomly throwing magic blocks around, Zhulu was naturally more refined and discreet in her manipulation of magic.

In the Qingyun Sect's test, the ability to manipulate magic more precisely was the final question, worth a lot of points. It took her a lot of effort to master it completely, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to become an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

Since then, although it has been a long time since I have transformed, I have never slacked off in the related training.

With a gentle tug, Yinluo, whose body was covered in blue silk threads, was suddenly pulled backward and slammed into a thick old tree. Then, more silk threads wrapped around Yinluo and the tree.

Yinluo's expression was gloomy, even showing some anxiety, but she dared not make any rash moves.

The threads intertwined with her magical armor and the great tree, binding them together. Destroying the tree would also destroy her own magical armor.

Magical Girl Julu's specialty.

The masterpiece, fourth, is riddled with holes and tangled threads.

The downside is that once used, she can't launch other attacks. Generally, she needs others to coordinate attacks to maximize her effectiveness; when alone, it's difficult to effectively kill enemies. However, her control effect is quite good.

Moreover, such meticulous needlework is very mentally taxing, and even Zhulu felt a little tired after finishing it.

They were about two or three hundred meters away from the Disaster Management Bureau. If they walked about the same distance north from this grove, they would reach the suburban highway, which was the location where Shion had shot down the B-rank disaster beast Firebird.

The disciples of the Qingyun Sect should have no trouble finding this place.

Although Yinluo has been brought under control, we cannot be careless. The opponent is a novice who is not very good at using magic, but the seed used for transformation is a miracle seed of the Blooming level.

Although I have recovered quite a bit, I am still not quite at the peak of my early career.

Therefore, even if Yinluo's magic reserves only reach the Blooming level, it is still quite dangerous for Zhulu.

When will the aid that Lord Bing Tang promised finally arrive...?

As she was thinking this, and still considering whether to add more threads, the black magic that had fallen like mud at her feet suddenly began to boil.

"You always manage to surprise me, Zhulu."

Its azure pupils suddenly contracted, and it quickly tugged at the threads, trying to protect itself.

But it was still a step too slow.

The boiling, foul magic has expanded and exploded!

The blue figure was blasted away in an instant, crashing into several thick tree trunks and breaking them. Amidst flying wood chips, it rolled on the ground for dozens of meters, carving a deep trench before finally coming to a stop.

Her blue magical girl dress was now stained with dark magic, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. Dozens of threads pulled at her, trying to lift her up, but she still couldn't stand steadily. She could only lean against a broken tree trunk to keep herself from falling, coughing violently.

The blue silk threads that had bound Yinluo broke off and fell away, then dissipated into water vapor in the air.

Climbing down from the tree trunk, Yinlu looked at the heavily injured Zhulu with a half-smile. "In the face of absolute power, technique is useless, Zhulu. My abilities are not as flashy as yours; it's just the simplest manipulation of magical explosions. Are you unwilling to be defeated so brutally and unreasonably by a beginner?"

Holding onto the silk threads, her magical girl dress began to sway, and her magic power was clearly dissipating.

It's already difficult to maintain the transformation.

A magical barrage of power at the level of a full bloom is beyond her current capabilities...

"fine……"

She still gave a firm reply, wiped her mouth, and finally couldn't maintain her transformed state. Her magical costume dissipated, and she returned to her original form.

Injuries sustained in magical girl form will not affect the original body, but some fatigue and pain will remain.

We need to stall for time until reinforcements arrive, otherwise the mission will fail...

I'm afraid I'll disappoint Bing Tang and Lady Zi Yuan.

She pondered deeply, and finally, just before Yinluo was about to act, she asked, "What will Yinlian do if you do this?"

Sure enough, even Yinluo, who had already transformed into a witch, stopped what she was doing.

"Ginkgo is a magical girl, ugh, the captain of the magical girl combat team. As her older sister, you joined the Witch Association. Don't you know how difficult her situation will be? She respects you so much, relies on you so much. And this is how you, her older sister, treat your own sister..."

"Silver Lotus".

Muttering to herself, the witch sighed, "Because she got carried away after obtaining the power of a magical girl, she usually pretends to be a good girl, but when it comes to the crucial moment, when has she ever listened to me? Relying on her status as the captain of the magical girl combat team, she bosses me around, enjoying the vengeful thrill of stepping on my head and leaving me behind. Do you think I don't know that?"

Even Susan was stunned, her mouth agape. "What are you saying... Is this how you view Captain Silver Lotus?"

"Did I say something wrong?"

Yinlu said nostalgically, "How could I not see through my silly little sister's little schemes? She always hid behind me, relied on me, and chased after me since she was little. After becoming a magical girl, she finally got her due and has never paid any attention to her older sister since then."

His tone turned somewhat somber: "She's clearly inferior to me in every way except for her ability to transform, yet she makes everyone think that her younger sister is better than me. She tries her best to appear mature and powerful in front of me, to show off and prove to me that now I'm the one chasing after her, that I'm the one hiding behind her. She must be very proud of herself."

"You are really crazy..."

"The person who least wants me to become a magical girl is Ginren."

In response to Susan's reply, Yinluo simply shook her head. "That's why I need to teach her a lesson and make her realize who the older sister really is. She can only ever follow behind me, she can only ever look up to me and chase after me."

Susan was startled. "What are you going to do to Captain Silver Lotus?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's just another accident, and the incompetent Disaster Management Bureau has caused another magical girl to lose her powers..."

The black magical tentacles around Yinluo entangled her and charged forward again!
Having lost her ability to transform, Susan could no longer escape and could only close her eyes and cover her face with her hands.

Then she heard a whooshing sound.

A figure leaped into the air and kicked out fiercely at the corrupting magic in the air!
The heavy magic block was kicked like a ball and crashed onto the side of the highway in the distance. The sound of screeching brakes and collisions echoed on the highway, followed by faint shouts of anger.

Yinlu was also stunned, looking at the polluted magic that had been kicked far away with some surprise and dissipation after being too far away.

She had only recently transformed and wasn't very familiar with this power.

Then, turning back to look at the boy who had kicked away the corrupted magic and was standing in front of Susan, Yinluo touched her neck, her voice weary:

"I'm in a good mood right now, and if possible, I hope no one will bother me..."

Susan was initially pleasantly surprised; the support that Lord Bing Tang had promised had finally arrived!

Upon closer inspection, his expression quickly darkened.

It's Jiang Si...

"You wouldn't happen to be the 'aid' that Lord Bing Tang was talking about, would you?"

"I don't know, but it was definitely Bing Tang who sent me."

Susan covered her face, inwardly groaning.

You're usually so reliable, why did you act so foolishly at a crucial moment, Mr. Rock Sugar!

So what if an ordinary person comes? The opponent is a witch with the power of the Blooming Demon!
She struggled to her feet, clutching her Miracle Seed; the cooldown for her transformation was almost over.

She could transform into a magical girl again, but the problem was she still had to figure out how to take Jiang Si with her. She was already having a hard time on her own, and now she had to add to the chaos!
As Susan was on the verge of tears, Yinlu pondered, "Let me guess, you've become close to Ziyuan hoping she can provide you with power close to that of a magical girl, or perhaps eliminate the pain of corrupted magic strengthening your body. But unfortunately, she can't do that, so you came to me..."

Jiang Si interrupted her, "Do you know how to use corrupted magic to strengthen the body?"

"You'll know once you join the Witch's Guild."

"I'm asking you." Jiang Si's tone was more impatient. "Do you know or not?"

"Do you think I need that kind of thing?" Yinlu couldn't help but chuckle. "All I want is the power of magical girls. What's the point of things like strengthening corrupted magic? Compared to the power of magical girls, they're nothing but fireflies!"

Yinluo suddenly spread her arms, and terrifying pollution magic engulfed the entire small forest. The once lush and thriving trees withered rapidly, and leaves fell in a rustling sound!

"Look! This is the power of magical girls, the power that represents hope and happiness! Although you will never be able to obtain this power, Jiang Si, as long as you join the Witch Guild, the Witch Guild can provide you with power close to that of magical girls, allowing you to glimpse even one ten-thousandth of the wonder of magical girl power!"

Susan's face turned pale. "Don't listen to her nonsense. While the power of magical girls is indeed strong, it's never something everyone needs. Even if you can't obtain the power of magical girls, the Qingyun Sect has other ways to help you fight alongside them."

"You must have felt despair when you lost your ability to transform, right?"

"Even so, I never thought of regaining the magical girl's power from the Witch Association!"

"Having regained our strength, we naturally have confidence."

"It's not your place to tell me what to do!"

Yinlu gathered her magic, and countless magical energies transformed into sharp spikes, aiming at Susan and Jiang Si. "I'll ask you one more time, Jiang Si, do you want to pursue the power of magical girls with me?"

"Jiang Si! Don't be seduced by the power of magical girls! You've never needed anything like that!"

Susan gritted her teeth, "Don't disappoint Lady Shion, she likes her so much..."

The boy raised his eyes and loosened his grip on his right hand.

A purple seed hung from the rope, fell down, and swayed gently.

The argument abruptly ceased, a gentle breeze swept by, the pollution's magic trembled, and nearby broken trees sent up shards of dead leaves.

Only deathly silence remained.

Is this what you're talking about?

The two girls, who seemed to have been simultaneously choked, stared blankly.

Susan looked at the seed, then at Jiang Si's face with difficulty. Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, they just opened their mouths meaninglessly.

She seemed to hear Jiang Si say something, but she couldn't hear it at all anymore.

All five senses are somewhat dulled.

Just as Jiang Si stared blankly as Yin Luo's magical spikes were about to fall, purple flames erupted from her body.

The flames ignited all the surrounding corrupting magic, turning the sky into a riot of colors!
Then, a beautiful purple figure quietly appeared in the flames, reflected in her somewhat confused pupils.

Jiang Si, Ziyuan...
