Chapter 80 Sesterces
The next moment, Delphinium saw that the magic wand in Sparrow's hand turned into a turbulent stream of magical power with stars in its eyes.
She had previously noticed that the opponent's position was getting closer to her, and she also realized that Sparrow might have some ability that could only be used at close range.
A warning suddenly arose in her heart, but fortunately, Delphinium was prepared. As runes flew out from her sleeves to form a barrier, she had already begun to retreat to the rear.
The direction she retreated to was also an area she had already located, where she could use her magic equipment to gain leverage.
“Too slow!”
Sparrow sensed the intention of Delphinium's action, and pulled out a rather exaggerated claw-shaped magic weapon from the turbulence, then swung the rope at the end of it and threw it fiercely in the direction of Delphinium.
Almost at the same time, Delphinium felt that its retreat began to slow down.
The magic weapon thrown by Sparrow is a hidden weapon that looks like an eagle's claw, with four blades in total, three in front and three in the back. There is a rope connected to the base, and the end is held in Sparrow's hand.
In the material world, such weapons or hidden weapons are called flying claws.
When the sparrow threw out the flying claw, this magic outfit produced an inexplicable attraction, attracting the surrounding living things like a magnet, causing the delphinium, which was its target, to slow down its flying speed.
Not only that, even though it was not aimed at the Delphinium when it was thrown out, when the Delphinium was affected and its movement speed was reduced, it seemed to have self-awareness and changed direction, and began to fly towards it at a high speed.
In a flash, the flying claw had already arrived in front of the delphinium.
Seeing that his attack was about to hit, the smile on Sparrow's face became more and more pleased.
This is exactly why she wants to shorten the distance between them before she is willing to use the magic suit: her magic suit has the dual effect of searching for enemies and attracting them within a certain range. In addition, it has its own strong lethality, so as long as it is used, it will definitely be able to severely injure the enemy.
Following her sight, the flying claw went straight for the figure of Delphinium not far away, and soon a muffled "puff" sound was made, as if it hit something.
Everything was just as she expected. She and her opponent did not have the same information. It was this information gap that gave her the advantage in this battle where the enemy was clear but she was in the dark.
"Haha! I told you, you can't escape!"
Laughing loudly, the sparrow pulled the rope backwards, trying to pull the talon at the end and pull the delphinium back from a distance.
But when the rope was pulled and gradually retracted, she suddenly discovered: there was nothing on it.
There were only a few strands of magic that had not yet dissipated stuck to the blades of the flying claws, reminding her what she had caught.
“This is——”
She couldn't help but widen her eyes.
——"It's a temporary substitute doll I made."
A cold voice came from behind her.
Behind her, Delphinium had appeared there at some point, and the magic suit in her hand had transformed into the form of a masterpiece, becoming two huge gloves wrapped around her hands.
"Masterpiece, Part Two, Sesterces of Heavy Blows."
Without saying another word, she muttered to herself, swung the boxing gloves in her hands, and punched Sparrow hard on the back.
Before the sparrow could look back, he felt a sudden huge force coming from behind him.
Boom! A huge sonic boom sounded from the sky, causing countless passers-by below to stop and look up.
Then, they saw a tiny figure falling from the sky and slamming into an empty road.
Boom! After the huge impact sound, what appeared before their eyes was the road surface that was almost completely smashed in the collision, the flying dirt and rocks, and the black figure lying at the bottom of the deep pit.
"We finally caught this guy. Next... let's notify the Strategy Bureau to come and arrest him."
It slowly descended from the sky and stayed at a height of about ten meters above the ground. It took off the gloves around its hands and looked at the potholes on the road below. It sighed, "But I'm afraid we really have to ask the Investigation Institute to come over this time."
The rebel organization named "Claw Mark" did appear in Fangting City, and they came to me so blatantly to challenge me to a fight. I would never let an incident of this nature go unnoticed.
Not to mention, according to the director of Fangting City's Strategy Bureau, this group of people may also be related to the disappearance of the previous sower "Nini"; even the inexplicable pupa-level remnant beast that appeared underground may be the work of relevant personnel. Even for the sake of her daughter's future safety, she had to remove the branches of these people that had extended to Fangting City.
It was not easy to catch them. It was necessary to catch all these guys who were doing tricks in secret and expel them for the next activities of the Fangting City team.
But the reason he sighed was that once the Investigation Agency got involved, the news of his comeback would no longer be concealed.
As the organization where he was on a temporary assignment, the Investigation Institute had a close relationship with him, and there were many people among them who could be called "old acquaintances". After the news of his comeback spread, he was afraid that his regular life of working and taking care of the children in Fangting City would be difficult to continue.
To be honest, although she had been prepared to face all this since the day she decided to resign and even took out the flower of her heart from the closet, when it really came to this, she still couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
Don’t think about it, just call someone to control this guy first.
She was thinking in her mind and was about to take out her cell phone to call Hong Siyu, but as soon as her palm touched the phone, she found that it vibrated first.
Looking at the screen, she saw the words "Lin Xiaolu" displayed on it, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Cuiqiao remembered the message Xia Liang had sent her in the group before, saying that they suspected Moko had found the reserve magical girl but had concealed it, and they wanted to follow up and investigate.
The reason for calling at this time must be because of this matter.
Although logically she should explain the situation to Hong Si and the Yi Ce Bureau first, after a little consideration, she felt that Lin Xiaolu's call was more important.
With anticipation in mind, Delphinium raised her thumb to the screen, ready to tap the call button.
But she didn't have time to press it.
"Shua!" Because, almost at the same time, a black shadow suddenly passed by her wrist and hit her hand at a high speed.
Delphinium caught this scene out of the corner of her eye and used her quick reaction to withdraw her hand in time, but because the target of the sneak attack was too small and came too fast, she only withdrew her hand. The phone she was holding was knocked down and fell into the bushes nearby.
Without time to check the phone, Delphinium immediately looked at the tiny black shadow that suddenly attacked her. After seeing its appearance clearly, she asked in confusion, "Sparrow?"
She wasn't shouting out the enemy's code name.
But the tiny black shadow she saw was nothing else but a little sparrow flapping its wings.
A normal sparrow should not be able to fly so fast, and its flying endurance is relatively poor. How could it be so fast that even a magical girl like her could not react?
“…It hurts.”
Just when the Delphinium couldn't help but start thinking, the voice of the sparrow came clearly from the pit, even though it was still some distance below.
"I'm not dead yet. You're still thinking of calling me at this time. Should I praise you for being a former karuta?"
Walking out of the pit again, the sparrow appeared in Delphinium's sight again.
She was still conscious and even capable of fighting, which surprised Delphinium.
She was well aware of the power of her masterpiece's heavy blow: without the use of advanced techniques or defensive magic equipment, most leaf-level or even bud-level magical girls would not be able to withstand such an attack.
Considering the physical fitness of a magical girl, a punch from a masterpiece would...
Not to mention that this magical girl named Sparrow was attacked from behind by herself so suddenly, even if Delphinium herself stood still and took the attack, she probably wouldn't feel good.
So, it is quite incredible that the sparrows can still maintain their ability to move.
This magical girl who suddenly appeared claimed that she was a character card before, so the stage of her ability development should be in the range of leaf to bud level.
It's not that there are no flower levels among character cards, but those magical girls who have reached the flower level but are not eligible to obtain flower cards will not call themselves character cards to others. They think it is cheap to say that they are character cards.
The most important thing is that Delphinium herself knows very well that she cannot defeat a magical girl at the blossoming to flower level now.
The magical girl's abilities develop and improve over the stages. Starting from the Bud level, each step is a huge bottleneck, and after crossing it, there will be a huge improvement.
From leaves to buds, and from buds to flowers, with every leap, the magical girl's combat capability will increase by an important dimension.
Delphinium has a clear understanding of its current combat capabilities.
Because of this, she can reverse the situation to determine that this magical girl who calls herself Sparrow will not be a Flower level.
However, because she took a heavy blow from the Masterpiece Gloves, she fell to the ground in a much more disheveled state than before, and her clothes made of magic also had many tears, which was enough to show that she had suffered serious damage.
But her image at this moment made Delphinium puzzled again.
Because at some point, the sparrow's human left arm had disappeared, and was replaced by a pair of magical bird wings with black background and yellow spots, which looked quite evil.
Her eyes also underwent changes. The most obvious feature was that the iris became huge, almost occupying the entire eye socket; the remaining sclera was no longer white like humans, but turned black.
"You haven't seen it? Then you should be happy. After all, I rarely use my beast form in front of others."
Sparrow raised his head, revealing the purple-black heart gem under his neck. His eyes widened with an excited and belligerent smile on his face: "Don't be distracted, the real show is about to begin."
She raised the half of her body that had transformed into bird wings, and the jet-black magical wings flapped. The released magical power spread like a torrent, stirring up waves and even rushing to many pedestrians who were watching. The magical waves caused a burst of exclamations and screams, and many people screamed the moment they were touched by the magic.
This kind of magic power has a certain degree of corrosion and damage to the magic power of magical girls, not to mention ordinary people with weak magic power. The tiny magic power in the body that is closely related to life is corroded and destroyed, which is a pain that ordinary people cannot endure.
Cuiqiao, who was originally observing the situation and planning to retrieve his phone, had no time to think about anything else. He could only use his magic suit to make layers of silk threads appear from the intersection, blocking the black magic power from rushing towards the pedestrians.
"Stop standing here and watching the fun, leave!" she shouted at the passers-by who were still acting foolishly.
——"Didn't I tell you not to be distracted?"
On the other side, Sparrow roared excitedly and took off into the air again. This time, her speed was so fast that even her trajectory could not be seen by ordinary people.
Not only that, the little sparrows that had attacked the delphinium from the dark before also flew up with her, and several little sparrows followed her, like wingmen in the air. These little birds opened and closed their beaks, and actually spit out tiny magic bullets.
The tiny magic bullet looks only as big as a green bean, and its power is not fatal, but its advantage is that it is fast and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and ordinary people can be easily hit by it.
The magic of black and blue intertwined in the air again, and this time, blue was clearly in a passive position.
After changing into the evil state it calls "half-beast form", not only did Sparrow's physical fitness and speed become stronger, but even the strength of his magic power suddenly increased to a higher level, completely suppressing Delphinium.
If there were someone knowledgeable observing this battle, they would find that although the Delphinium was far superior to the Sparrow in terms of flexibility of combat instincts and planning in the use of magic, the method used by the Sparrow at this time could be described as overpowering skill with force, and it had a firm upper hand in terms of pure magic output.
However, Delphinium was not in a hurry, rather she was still very calm.
Even though the situation was already passive, she was still saving her magic power, using the combined defense of barriers and masterpieces to block the sparrow's fancy and frequent attacks, and looking for opportunities to counterattack.
"Why don't you unfold Wonderland? Cornflowers!"
This kind of blind defense also made Sparrow feel bored. He felt like he was hitting a turtle shell and there was no fun in fighting at all.
So she released her magic power again and took out her flying claw magic suit.
The dark magic power spread from her right arm, and the tip of the flying claw began to emit an ominous color. She swung her arm in the air, like throwing a spear, and smashed it towards the Delphinium with force.
The Flying Claw Magic Armor, which was also wrapped in dark magic, smashed heavily on the masterpiece condensed by the Delphinium, but this time the output was far greater than before: although it still failed to penetrate the masterpiece, it smashed it and the Delphinium behind it away.
"Or is it really as the rumors say..."
Pulling back his magic suit with his remaining right hand, Masahiro laughed again: "During the defense of the 'Garden', because you used power beyond the limit, your heart gem had problems, right?"
I put the two chapters together. I'm sorry that I couldn't update at noon. I'm sorry. Come on tomorrow.
