Chapter 63: Lead Away
Magical constructs, or simply magic suits, are an important part of a magical girl's combat abilities.
Delphinium had previously explained to the two newcomers that as the magical girls progress from blooming to budding stage, their total magic power will increase, and their magic constructs will awaken, so the magical girls' combat capabilities will see a leap forward.
Of course, all of this is also based on the premise that the magic suit itself is suitable for combat. After all, there are also cases like Delphinium, who has almost no combat ability at the beginning of the magic suit awakening, and only the total amount of magic power is increased.
The most important thing now is to see what Xia Liang’s magic construct looks like and what abilities it has.
"So...what should we do?"
Raising his arm and looking around, Xia Liang asked in confusion, "You say this is my true form, but I don't feel like I've changed much, although my magic power has increased a lot."
"The truth is a part of you, how can you feel strange because of constructing the truth?"
Still folding her arms, Delphinium explained simply, "As for using the magic construct, you must first take out your wand."
Hearing this, Xia Liang obediently raised his wand and held it horizontally in front of him: "Like this?"
"You don't need any specific movements. Just try to inject your magic power into the wand as usual." Delphinium continued to instruct.
"Ha... like this?" Xia Liang did as he was told and released a small amount of magic power.
Immediately, her wand reacted in a completely different way than before.
When her magic power came into contact with it, a line of light quickly appeared on the surface of the wand, and then, just like Xia Liang himself a few minutes ago, overlapping shadows appeared.
The magic wand in the phantom flickered and jumped like a distorted image, and its shape began to become completely different from its original form.
Fine particles of magic power spewed out along the lines of light, enveloping the amorphous magic wand, which floated in the air and rotated like a nebula.
Xia Liang couldn't help but open his eyes wide, admiring the scene in amazement.
Lin Xiaolu, who was originally uninterested, finally picked up some interest and stared at Xia Liang's direction with the same concentration.
"A magic wand is actually the most basic form of magic construct. It is the manifestation of your own power. However, at the species level, the magical girl without her true form has no way of discovering its true appearance."
Looking at the nebula formed by the magic particles in front of Xia Liang, Cuiqiao said calmly: "But now, its state is proving to you that you already have this qualification."
"……Then?"
While thinking, Xia Liang asked with interest: "What should I do next?"
"Say your own code name."
Cuiqiao raised her chin slightly and signaled to Xia Liang: "Then communicate with your magic suit, and at the same time announce to your magic suit that is about to awaken, extract it from its current rut, and let it show its true appearance."
Xia Liang restrained his expression and nodded seriously.
She looked at the chaotic flow of magic in her palm, controlled her nervous and excited emotions, and took a long breath:
——"Xiao Jin, the magic power is extracted."
The magic particles that were originally flowing in groups paused slightly, then began to move upwards and exploded completely.
The dissipated magic power stopped before touching the roof, and fell in the form of light rain. In a small light curtain, Xia Liang looked at the palm of her hand in a daze: the object that appeared was somewhat beyond her expectations.
"This is... my magic construct?"
Because there was only a palm-sized dressing mirror.
In the imagination of ordinary people, the so-called "magic construct" is a weapon used in combat, so it should also look more lethal. But in fact, the appearance of a magic construct is not necessarily a "weapon" in the conventional sense.
For example, Delphinium's magic costume is a combination of silk and scissors, which are sewing tools that ordinary people understand. Some magical girls' magic costumes are even stranger, such as writing pens, watering pots, handkerchiefs... The various strange magic costumes are also the best way to reflect the individual differences of magical girls.
The power of the magic suit has nothing to do with its image, but only with the user's proficiency, depth of development, and the potential of the magic suit itself.
So Cuique was not surprised that Xia Liang's magic costume was a mirror.
On the other side, Xia Liang picked up the mirror after a brief surprise, and looked at his face left and right, but did not find any changes.
"Is that all?"
She muttered to herself, and then an idea flashed through her mind, wanting to inject magic power to try. She immediately raised her hand, and the purple magic power was released from her palm, trying to make it contact with the mirror.
——"While I approve of your attempt to use magic, I suggest that you do not do so in the house."
Seeing her doing this, Kuizi first spoke up to stop her, then pointed out the window and said, "If you don't want to accidentally blow up your house, you'd better find an open space."
"Oh, sorry sorry."
Xia Liang came back to his senses and smiled apologetically: "I was a little anxious."
After simply apologizing to Delphinium, she took Lin Xiaolu and Delphinium away from home and headed for an open space she knew.
After getting outside and landing in a relatively open area, Xia Liang couldn't wait to take out his magic suit and began trying to charge magic power into his mirror.
As expected, driven by magic, Xia Liang's magic suit began to show its true ability. Soon, several people discovered several simple functions of his magic suit: the most important one is the change in shape and quantity. Xia Liang can control his mirror magic suit to increase the number or area. The upper limit of the number is about 5, and the upper limit of the area is only 1 square meter. It can be controlled to move freely within a radius of about 20 meters.
In addition, mirrors have two uses: the first is to block and reflect magic to a certain extent, and can weaken the magic that touches its surface and reflect it to another direction. After Xia Liang and Cui Que's attempts, whether it is a magic beam, a scattered magic flow or particles, or even a fixed structure of magic, it can be reflected back by Xia Liang's magic suit.
Although the upper limit of what it can currently withstand is only the strength of a magic beam casually fired by a bud-level magical girl.
The second use is to transmit magic power. Xia Liang can make the magic power that touches the surface of the mirror be transmitted from the other side of the mirror. With this ability, within the controllable range of the mirror, she can change the direction of the magic beam that was originally shot to any position.
The upper limit of this ability is obviously much higher. Even if Delphinium increases the strength of the magic beam to a level close to the leaf level, it can still be teleported and redirected by the mirror.
It can be said that although this mirror magic suit does not have any direct destructive power, it has a lot of room for development in terms of functionality.
"It feels like a magic suit with strong auxiliary effects?"
As if he had discovered a new toy, after playing with all the functions of the magic suit, Xia Liang judged: "Although it may be very brain-intensive to use it well in battle."
"At this point, it really hasn't shown any killing capabilities."
Cuiqiao was also studying the magic suit in Xia Liang's hand, and gave her own judgment quite pertinently: "But based on my initial observation, if you want to make it lethal, after the leaf level, there will be many spells that can cooperate with your magic suit."
"So I should start aiming at the leaf level now?" Xia Liang stuck out his tongue.
"I've told you so many times, don't aim too high."
Raising his hand, he tapped her forehead gently, then glanced at her and said, "Don't think too much now. Give your magic suit a name."
"It hurts! I'm against corporal punishment!" Xia Liang shouted, covering his head.
"I didn't use any strength at all." Delphinium said expressionlessly.
"But it is the girl's delicate heart that is hurt!" Xia Liang pretended to be angry.
"Did your delicate heart tell you the name of the magic suit?" Delphinium ignored her and asked with drooping eyelids.
"Oh, well, if you want to tell me the name, I already knew it when I awakened."
Xia Liang raised her head slightly, holding her magic suit. Anyone could feel her excitement: "Its name is 'Yinli'."
