Chapter 113 Too Simple Battle_2
"Hahaha, how could an ordinary magician possibly dodge my attack!"
The attack had been ineffective, and the golden-haired girl, having finally managed to accomplish something, laughed hysterically, her voice tinged with a hint of a sob, "I'll just annihilate you right here, so no one will know what happened here!"
She shouted lines that lacked any Magical Girl's grace, sounding more like a villain, and lifted her hand as Magic Power began to gradually converge at the tip of her Magic Wand, "This next one will decide the victor!"
Her words were no empty boast, for Lin Yun could feel that this time, the Magic Power she invoked was not on the same level as before, far exceeding what a normal person could use.
It seemed, then, that things had reached an impasse that could not be reconciled.
If she wanted to get serious, he had no choice but to transform.
Thinking this, Lin Yun, somewhat reluctantly, activated the Magic Power of the Heart's Gem at his chest; azure Magic Power swiftly surged from it, with Magic Silk threading up from his feet.
However, almost as soon as he activated his Magic Power, the golden-haired girl in front of him had an accident yet again.
After spouting her fierce threats, she stepped on a somewhat slippery patch of ground and, impossibly, her feet slipped, causing her to fall backward onto the ground.
If it had just been a fall, that might have been the end of it, but what was even more bizarre was that due to her fall, the Magic Power Beam at the tip of her wand slipped out of her hand and shot straight up into the sky.
The pale yellow trail of Magic Power thus lit up the dark alleyway, splendid as fireworks.
"You..."
Staring dumbly at the trail left by her misfired Magic Power Beam, the girl looked down again, wanting to rebut, but then a muffled sound came from the sky.
Thump!
She had barely uttered a word when a metal pipe, detached from who knows where, fell from the sky and struck right atop the golden-haired girl's head, knocking her to the ground.
After that, she was silent.
Only the newly transformed Emerald Sparrow was left, one hand on the Heart's Gem at her neck, looking at the girl lying on the ground, silent, not quite knowing what to say for a moment.
Although the situation was somewhat stiff and awkward, she felt she should at least check on her.
Approaching the golden-haired girl, seeing her lying with eyes closed on the ground, Emerald Sparrow couldn't help but reach out to check her breathing. After discovering the golden-haired girl was still breathing, she pushed on her arm, asking, "Are you okay?"
She received no answer.
Hearing Emerald Sparrow's voice, the golden-haired girl slightly opened her eyes but didn't speak, just looked at Emerald Sparrow for a moment. Then, she closed her eyes again and completely lost consciousness.
As the girl lost consciousness, her inexperienced Magic Power circulation could not be sustained, and her transformed state was consequently undone. After the glow had faded, what remained was no longer the Magical Girl but a girl who appeared to be about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a school uniform.
Just by looks, the girl did not appear much different from her Magical Girl state, clearly a novice who had just begun to bloom, very much in line with the level of skill she had displayed.
Emerald Sparrow looked at the girl lying on the ground, wanting to help her up, but suddenly realized the filth from the garbage can still on her and hesitated, her extended hand hanging in mid-air.
After pondering for a moment, she thought about how to deal with the girl on the ground and finally decided not to interfere too much and leave her to her teammates.
According to the description of the blonde girl, there were three Magical Girls on this mission, and the other two were currently fighting the Remnant Beasts. If all went well, they would come back to look for her after the fight.
With this thought in mind, Emerald Sparrow turned and walked out of the alley, heading towards the district where the Remnant Beasts were causing trouble.
Since the blonde girl did not appear to be in danger of dying, it seemed wise to check on the situation with the Remnant Beasts, in case her teammates were as unreliable as she was and something unexpected happened during the battle.
Emerald Sparrow planed as she returned to where she had seen the Remnant Beasts and found that there was indeed a fierce battle going on in that direction.
Pale red and blue Magic Power light swirled around the Remnant Beast, colliding with its outer skin and igniting sparks, with booming sounds incessantly ringing out. Before long, as the Remnant Beast gradually became unable to withstand the two Magic Powers' assault, the red and blue lights split into two crossed flashes that passed swiftly through its chest, tearing the still-roaring Remnant Beast into two.
The troublesome Remnant Beast was easily taken care of.
With keen eyesight, Emerald Sparrow immediately noticed, amidst the blue Magic Power trail, the figure of a girl holding a weapon that looked nothing like a Magic Wand.
It was Magic Armor.
Understanding this, Emerald Sparrow could not help but glance back at the alley entrance not far away.
While the blonde girl's teammates were able to deal with the Remnant Beasts so effortlessly and skillfully, the blonde girl herself stumbled and made mistakes against a mere human, eventually even smashing herself into de-transformation. The disparity seemed way too great.
Since the situation ended this way, and the blonde girl seemed not to have discovered the true nature of her identity, there was no need for her to linger here any longer in the guise of Emerald Sparrow.
After deciding on her next steps, Emerald Sparrow once again entered the alley, lifted the blonde girl, and had her sit leaning against the wall at the mouth of the alley.
She needed to ensure that the child's teammates would see her when they came back, to avoid her lying unnoticed in the dark alley.
Having done all this, she took advantage of the darkness in the alley to undo her transformation and returned to the convenience store storeroom through the window the way she had come.
And when Lin Yun washed her hands and walked out of the convenience store carrying her luggage, with a calm expression, she saw that the place where the Remnant Beasts had attacked was now empty.
Clearly, the group of Magical Girls had left.
Mingling with the crowd on the street, pretending to be an ordinary tourist, Lin Yun passed the place where she had left the blonde girl earlier and looked into the alley. There, she saw a short-skirted girl with pale red hair and a cloaked girl with blue hair standing by the blonde girl, with somewhat helpless expressions on their faces, apparently conveying something.
After conversing for a bit, it seemed they reached a consensus, and the blue-haired Magical Girl, looking disgusted, propped the blonde girl on her shoulder. Then the two of them gradually rose into the air and flew towards the sky.
It was then that many people realized the Magical Girls had just been in the adjacent alley, quickly grabbing their phones to snap photos of the Magic Power trails left in the sky.
Amid the noisy crowd, Lin Yun squinted slightly, watching their receding figures, seemingly contemplative.
