Chapter 17 Magical Girl Xiao Jin
When Delphinium arrived at the scene, the area where the crippled beast was located had been blocked off, and the citizens who had originally planned to pass through there were evacuated, while ordinary people in the area also evacuated under the guidance of official personnel.
Because it was noon and the beast appeared at a crossroads, very few people were killed at the first moment and most people were able to escape in time, so the emotions of the crowd at the scene were relatively stable and no riots were caused.
Delphinium did not stay at the blockade for too long. After confirming that the Strategy Bureau was taking action, it kicked off its heels and rushed out from the gap between the buildings nearby, flying to the location where the remaining beasts were, which was also the center of this area.
When she arrived at the scene, she found that she was the only one there.
But it makes sense. Her speed of flying at full speed must be faster than the other two people, and the distance from the scene of the incident is not far. It is normal for her to arrive first if they set out at the same time.
"It hasn't taken shape yet. It's just an egg-sized little creature."
Landing on the side of the road, Delphinium looked at the beast that looked like a huge egg-shaped piece of meat. It was furious because it couldn't find its prey and was wreaking havoc on the surrounding buildings. She raised her hand, and the wand in her hand floated up:
"Magic construct is released."
As soon as she finished speaking, the magic wand turned into scattered particles of residual light, and a small and ornate pair of tailor's scissors appeared in Delphinium's hand. The azure magic particles gathered around her, and silk threads with cold light surrounded her body, revealing a slightly dangerous aura.
In Delphinium's vision, the surrounding space had already been filled with blue magic lines. The remaining beast in the center of the area was like a prey caught in a spider web, unable to escape.
She stretched out her hand, placed her thumb and ring finger on the two silk threads respectively, and slowly hooked her fingers in the same direction.
She hooked the lines, and the magic net around the crippled beast tightened. Almost in a breath, its space for movement was completely restricted, and soon, it was completely tied up in place by the silk threads.
The crippled beast, feeling restricted in its movements, had no awareness that it was caught. Even though its body could no longer move, it continued to make futile attempts and let out earth-shaking roars, trying to intimidate the Delphinium not far away.
The airflow caused by the roar of the crippled beast stirred up a gust of wind, which lifted the sleeves of Delphinium from more than ten meters away. Even at this distance, a strong fishy odor could be smelled.
Delphinium deadpanned.
According to her usual practice, after restraining the remaining beast, she would kill it directly.
But this time it was different. She merely tied up the crippled beast, as if she had finished her job. She stood by the roadside with one hand on her waist, waiting quietly.
She was waiting for Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang.
Both of them were new magical girls, and they needed enough actual combat to accumulate experience. Such egg-level remnants were undoubtedly very high-quality sandbags: first, they moved slowly, and second, their attacks were not so fatal to magical girls. Even if something unexpected happened, with Delphinium protecting them, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Therefore, she did not plan to kill the crippled beast herself, but just wanted to stop it from destroying public buildings first, and planned to let the two newcomers use the crippled beast to practice.
Not long after, accompanied by light purple rainbow light, a figure flew over quickly from the horizon.
The purple rainbow light fell straight towards the location where the remnant beast and the delphinium were. After landing at an extremely high speed, it splashed circles of violet magic ripples as if it fell into the water.
The man straightened up from the waves, shook his head, smoothed the hair that was sticking to his face, and then looked at Delphinium with a smile on his face: "Ah, here we are! The speed of receiving with magic power is really fast, young senior!"
"The word 'small' is superfluous." Delphinium drooped her eyelids.
The person who came was Xia Liang.
She wore a purple waisted dress skirt with wavy lace, a light yellow shawl collar top, and a half-open waistcoat with the same light purple as the main color. With the huge bow on the chest, the transformed clothes gave people a mysterious but bright impression.
The hair, which had also turned purple, was slightly curled at the ends, forming inward curls that were slightly out of gravity. On her head was a hibiscus purple soft hat tied with a yellow ribbon, and on her earlobes hung a pair of crescent-shaped earrings, making her look quite gorgeous and fashionable.
This is what Xia Liang looks like after she transforms into a magical girl. It can be said that it fits her magical girl code name - Xiao Jin.
The clothes of a magical girl will reflect the personality of the transformer, so Xia Liang's clothes are the most mature in style among the three, although in terms of age alone, she is actually the youngest.
Looking at the girl falling to the ground, Cuiqiao's face remained calm, but she was actually feeling amazed.
When she first found Xia Liang, she had a hunch that this child might be extremely talented, but the level he has demonstrated now still exceeds her expectations.
What she called "using magic to receive the body" was a technique that Delphinium had just proposed during yesterday's class. It allows the magical girl to land at the fastest speed without slowing down after flying.
As a girl who was afraid of flying a few days ago, she quickly adapted to flying with magic power and even mastered advanced techniques. In just a few days, she surpassed Lin Xiaolu. Xia Liang can be said to be a natural born magical girl.
"You mastered the art of receiving the opponent so quickly. You did a great job." So Delphinium was not stingy in giving praise.
“Hehe.”
Xia Liang narrowed his eyes happily after receiving the praise, and ran to the side of the Jade Bird in small steps. He looked at the crippled beast that was tied up not far away, and asked with a little surprise in his tone: "Is that the crippled beast?"
"Hey - so this is what it looks like up close, so big and disgusting!"
She said "disgusting" but her face showed full of curiosity: "But why won't it move? Did you kill it, young senior?"
"I told you not to use the word 'small' anymore."
Delphinium corrected helplessly, but did not force it. She flicked her finger in the air, causing several blue magic lines to appear one after another: "Be careful, the beast is still alive. It's not moving because I have tied it up."
Xia Liang's attention was immediately drawn to these magic threads. He opened his eyes wide and moved closer: "How beautiful! Is this the magic structure you mentioned, young senior? Is this a harp string?"
"My magical constructs are silk thread and scissors."
Delphinium didn't hide this: "Don't get too close. These threads can bind enemies, but they can also become very sharp. I don't want to hurt you accidentally."
"Is this caring about me?"
There was a hint of teasing in the smile on his face, but he still took two steps back obediently. Xia Liang seemed to be in a good mood: "Although you look very cold, the young senior is actually very delicate at heart."
"Don't say such cheesy things." Delphinium still had no expression on her face.
——"Hey, you over there, we've only known each other for a few days, don't act so intimate behind other people's backs!"
Just as the two were talking, a shout suddenly came from the air. Cuiqiao and Xia Liang looked up following the sound and saw a light blue rainbow light falling from the sky.
Almost ten minutes had passed since Cuiqiao subdued the crippled beast, and Lin Xiaolu finally arrived.
