Witch Special

Following Lin Zhenxi's announcement, all the small-sized Light Maidens turned into light balls and flew back to the world in the painting behind Lin Zhenxi. Only the Light Maiden stayed and continued to guard Lin Zhenxi.

After collecting all the artifacts from the painting world, the blank scroll behind Lin Zhenxi automatically shrank into a scroll shape before fading and disappearing. Maintaining the painting world was quite a mana drain, and since it wouldn't be needed in the next battle, it was naturally necessary to put it away first.

After all, the magic power consumption of Lin Zhenxi will probably be an astronomical figure.

After recovering the world in the painting, Lin Zhenxi raised his hand, took a page from the Witch's Book that was spread out and floating in front of him, held it between his hands, and pressed it against his chest.

The film of light that had been enveloping the pages of the book instantly expanded, transforming into a large sphere of light that completely encircled Lin Zhenxi. Complex magical patterns emerged on the surface of the sphere, forming several bands of light that crisscrossed as they swirled around the sphere, creating the illusion of a magical girl transforming.

To be precise, what Lin Zhenxi is doing now is the transformation of a magical girl.

The page she slapped against her chest was the career template recorded in the Witch Book, called "Mage." The template came from the fourth other world that Lin Zhenxi visited, an elementary school student who was particularly good at firing light cannons.

The class name "Mage" was too general. Lin Zhenxi had always thought that this class template might be more accurately called "Aerial Combat Mage" or "King of Magic Cannons." After all, the original owner of this class template was a cannon enthusiast who never let go of his weapons during a fight. He would always shout "Let's be friends!" while blasting his opponent's face with dazzling cherry-pink cannons. His main strategy was to defeat the opponent first and then talk things over.

It felt like trying to capture a Pokémon: you had to lower its health bar first to increase your chances of success. The same thing happened with that elementary school student's magical bombardment. It was powerful enough to shatter even space, yet it managed to only destroy the enemy's resistance without taking their life. This kind of benevolent bombardment had once baffled Lin Zhenxi, but she later discovered it was the work of the ancient relic known as the Heart of the Rising Sun. It had blocked the lethality of that student's magic, ensuring that all spells would only knock away the consciousness without harming the body.

I knew it, it only subdues but does not kill. This kind of merciful magic requires super strong control over magic power. Even if that elementary school student has been practicing since the womb, he probably cannot reach that level. It turns out that it is the credit of the magic device.

Hayashi Maki doesn't have a magic device, but thankfully, her enemies don't need her protection. If they can't resist magic, then die. Hitting without killing is a plot point typically reserved for children's magical girl anime. As adults, they must take full responsibility for their stances, including their own lives.

Seeing that Lin Zhenxi was clearly preparing some ultimate move, Xilan and Alice naturally couldn't let her complete the transformation so easily. In reality, there was no such thing as invincibility during transformation. Even the Holy Light had to be generated by oneself, otherwise it would end up like Qin Ningjing, being seen by her own sister.

But after switching weapons once again, the Lady of Light wielding two gate shields made their ideas completely empty talk. As the magic patterns on the two gate shields began to glow, a layer of colorful shield made up of regular hexagons divided the entire battlefield into two parts, front and back. No matter Alice's magic or Xilan's slash, none of them could shake this layer of shield, and they couldn't even cause it to ripple.

The shield's reaction to being hit is generally tied to its upper limit for attack. If a shield shimmers after being hit, it means the force was within its strike zone and it can withstand many hits. If it ripples, it means the attack was too strong and the shield will shatter after a few more hits.

But if there is no reaction after being hit, and even no attempt to dodge, then it is better to give up. This magic shield is as strong as a city wall and cannot be shaken by ordinary attacks.

Alice and Xilan might have an attack capable of breaking the Maiden of Light's Gate Shield, but it was clearly not something they could pull off lightly. Not only would it be costly, but it would also require time to prepare. Who knew how long Lin Zhenxi's transformation would take? If Lin Zhenxi finished while this one was still gathering strength, it would be more than just embarrassing; it could be quite dangerous.

Since it is a big move, it certainly cannot be interrupted at will. Backlash is no joke. If you are hit by the attack and backlash at the same time, you will probably die on the spot.

So, as Xilan and Alice waited and did nothing, the light shield covering Lin Zhenxi completely retracted after about thirty seconds, and the person who appeared in front of the two was Lin Zhenxi, whose clothes had completely changed and even her body shape had undergone subtle changes.

To put it simply, she changed into a short dress with sky blue and bright purple as the main colors, but dotted with a lot of translucent white lace. It looked quite fluffy and full of dreams. Her legs were wrapped in white long stockings, and there was a small space between the stockings and the short skirt, forming an absolutely small-sized Hayashi Maki.

Unlike Lin Zhenxi, who was only about 1.7 meters tall a moment ago, she was now only about 1.34 meters tall. Even her usual ponytail had been replaced with a long, black, shoulder-length hair. Not only had her height shrunk, but her face had also become quite round, giving her the appearance of a little girl who hadn't yet reached her full growth spurt.

To be more precise, it is the body shape of an elementary school student.

Seeing Lin Zhenxi, who had changed into a beautiful dress but had inexplicably become much smaller, Xilan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, girl, I can't bear to do anything to you when you become like this."

The smaller Lin Zhenxi glared at Xilan, who seemed to be looking down on her, with her large, sparkling eyes. Two bright purple magic circles flickered in her eyes. The two magic circles were identical in appearance, circular, consisting primarily of an outer ring, an octagonal star, and an inner ring. In the center of the circle were two overlapping squares, slowly rotating.

"I hate people treating me like a child!" After her body became smaller, Lin Zhenxi's voice even turned into a clear child's voice.

"The stars hang low, the sun and moon are dim, the night is endless, and wisdom guides the way. Use curiosity to dispel the unknown, and use courage to ignite hope."

"In the name of the Witch who travels through the heavens and myriad worlds, I declare, Witch's Book, unleash your true power."

As Lin Zhenxi chanted, the Witch's Book, already liberated from its original form, immediately radiated a black light and rapidly transformed into purple. Within the light, a long staff extended from the bottom of the Witch's Book, and a fist-sized red orb emerged from the center of the unfolded Witch's Book.

Before the light from the staff transformed from the Witch's Book even faded away, Lin Zhenxi grabbed it with one hand and pointed the front end of the staff, which was fixed with the red magic ball, at Xilan and Alice.

As the light faded, more details of the staff emerged. It was entirely white, with many feline elements on it. A cat's tail was wrapped around the long handle, and the open witch's book showed a pattern of cat paws and pink pads. Even the core red orb was actually shaped like a cat's head, with two pointed ears and subtle whisker-like bumps on its surface.

"Yanyan, lock on the enemy, number 2, open the artillery magic list!"

"Maki, you're mistaken. My name is not Yanyan." The staff in Lin Zhenxi's hand actually spoke.

When Lin Zhenxi uses the Witch Book class template, the Witch Book becomes her primary weapon, and the Elder Wand is integrated into the Witch Book, increasing the power of the new weapon. As for the Witch Book's spirit, it naturally becomes the weapon's intelligent system, helping Lin Zhenxi better master the new weapon in its unlocked state.

However, in this situation, not only does Hayashi Maki's size, demeanor, and behavior change, but so does the black cat. More precisely, it undergoes a personality shift. Not only does its color change from black to white, but even its tone and personality change accordingly.

The most obvious point is that she would emphasize her other name which is different from Yanyan - Yanling.

"Sorry. I forgot. Lingling, help me." Lin Zhenxi stuck out her tongue cutely and apologized to the weapon in her hand.

"Leave it to me. Lockdown complete. The list of artillery spells will open."

"A new energy source has been discovered. Do you want to connect to it?"

"Hmm...hmm?" Lin Zhenxi was stunned for a moment. How could there be a special situation? "What new energy source?"

"It has been detected that the dimensional power is highly compatible with the current career template 'Mage'. After accessing the dimensional power, the Witch's Book will unlock a new form." Yan Ling did not have Yan Yan's meowing habit, and Lin Zhenxi was quite uncomfortable listening to it.

"So what are you waiting for? Connect now, and then we'll blow the enemy away."

"The new energy source has been connected successfully, and the new form has been unlocked. The Lord of Dimensions form has been activated, and information transmission has begun." With the steady voice of Yan Ling, the staff in Lin Zhenxi's hand changed its form again. A circle of light bands engraved with dense spells unfolded at the front end of the staff. The cat's tail that was originally wrapped around the long handle of the staff continued to extend and became virtual at the end, as if it had passed through space and connected to a very distant place.

Lin Zhenxi's clothes have also changed style and become more solemn. Although she is still wearing a short skirt and long stockings, a layer of translucent gauze cloak has appeared behind Lin Zhenxi. The pattern of stars on it keeps changing, and small white spots of light are released around it.

Finally, a silver-white halo emerged from Lin Zhenxi's head, making Lin Zhenxi look more sacred.

The Mage, Lord of Dimensions form is activated!
