Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 442 - 85_2

Lin Xiaolu pursed her lips, "What’s the point of deceiving yourself and others?"

"If that’s the case, maybe I could send you on your way without you ever knowing."

Semi raised its claws, the sharp talons shimmering coldly, "Although I actually have a few things I want to ask you, under different circumstances I might have spared your life, but unfortunately, I’m in a hurry right now."

"In a hurry... Ha, you’re just looking to unleash a disaster and slaughter ordinary people, pretending it’s something righteous."

Lin Xiaolu scoffed, "Those guys from the Black Ash Dawn were the same, always mouthing things like ’we are the justice’ and ’for our own pursuits,’ empty talk, but in reality, they engage in acts that are utterly inhumane, to the point of extreme hypocrisy."

"...Don’t lump us together with those from the Black Ash Dawn. You have no idea what we Remnant Beasts really want to do."

Semi paused, "It’s you Magical Girls who are blindly following the kingdom for some unilateral dreams, not realizing that you have become the accomplices of evil."

"Emerald Sparrow told me not to pay attention to what a person says, but what they do."

Lin Xiaolu lifted her magic wand, with blazing white Magic Power already beginning to coalesce, "If slaughtering civilians and destroying cities is called ’justice,’ and protecting the weak is labeled ’evil,’ then I am an enemy of ’justice’ right now."

"It doesn’t matter, I don’t care about the opinions of the weak."

Semi said indifferently, and then, with a sudden swipe of its claw, "An ideal without power to back it, a justice without strength as its foundation, is nothing but empty talk, vulnerable and brittle."

The massive claw came crashing down, dust billowing.

——Thump!

However, what sounded was not the boom of Magic Power colliding, but the crisp clang of hard objects striking each other.

The giant claw from the Remnant Beasts and Lin Xiaolu’s magic wand collided solidly, and for a moment, neither could gain the upper hand.

"My wand... blocked your attack?"

Semi couldn’t help doubting its own eyes, repeatedly confirming that it had not seen wrong.

One should know, it had not held back at all just then, using eighty to ninety percent of its strength with the intent of finishing the opponent in one blow, and such an attack simply should not have been blocked by a Magical Girl not even at Ye Level with a magic wand.

As a manifestation of a Magical Girl’s Magic Power, the definition of a magic wand is actually "the embryonic form of Magic Armor." Its strength is barely enough to deal with Remnant Beasts of Egg Level or Inchworm Level, but when it comes to Pupa Level beasts and above, the wand’s strength is entirely insufficient to withstand their attacks.

While the strength of a magic wand increases along with the Magical Girl’s growth, such an increase is not significant. Generally, at least a Magical Girl at Bud Level must be able to block a Pupa Level attack with her wand, and only a Magical Girl at Flower Level can fend off a Chrysalis Level with her wand.

So, did this Magical Girl in front of it actually possess Bud Level abilities?

Semi didn’t believe this at all.

But it didn’t have much time to ponder this question.

Because, it realized that the wand that had blocked its attack had somehow grown longer.

Can the shape of a magic wand change?

Not being a Magical Girl nor having ever deliberately studied their wands, Semi had never seen such a thing throughout its past experiences in the wars against the kingdom and its subsequent time with the Claw Marks.

But it knew that this was a battle and one should not be distracted during combat, even if the enemy is weaker than oneself.

So it quickly regrouped, once again crouching down, gathering all its strength for another assault on its opponent.

Clang!

And again, its attack was blocked by Lin Xiaolu.

This time, after blocking the attack, Lin Xiaolu’s magic wand underwent some changes in shape—its tip seemed to have become sharper.

All this, Lin Xiaolu herself was unaware of.

More than these external changes, what she felt was a surge of emotions, a brimming rage.

——"When I first became a Magical Girl, I always thought that the Remnant Beasts were our greatest enemy."

Her voice was hoarse as she spoke, "Because Remnant Beasts were destroying the cities, Remnant Beasts were killing humans, so as long as we defeated all the Remnant Beasts invading the cities, as long as we stopped the Remnant Beasts’ attacks from causing tragedies, then the mission of a Magical Girl would be accomplished."

"And as long as one could do these things, such a Magical Girl could definitely make their city a better place, and could stand tall and proudly say, ’I’m impressive.’

"Really, that’s what I always thought."

She swung her magic wand, blocking all of Semi’s attacks with ease, yet she appeared oblivious to this fact: "But later, after I learned about Black Ash Dawn, after I knew of your existence, I realized that things are not that simple."

"Humans turn into Remnant Beasts, fairies turn into Remnant Beasts, even Magical Girls turn into Remnant Beasts... it’s as if Remnant Beasts are just a tool to you, as if becoming a Remnant Beast is completely without psychological burden to you."

In the midst of the fierce collision, her wand continued to elongate, and with each successful block of an attack, the corresponding part of the wand would fade in color, turning from light blue to white:

"Talking about ’killing’ so casually, making decisions to destroy cities with ease, even when the Remnant Beasts attack they can’t kill so many ordinary people easily, but every time, you manage to create even more exaggerated destruction than the Remnant Beasts."

"Power, power, power, that’s all you ever talk about."

She clenched her teeth, almost squeezing the words out from between them: "Because you have power, so you’re right, because you seek power, so you’re right, because you believe in power, you are right, I’ve heard it too many times, my ears are about to develop calluses."

"Just for the so-called power, you trample people’s lives underfoot, how are you any different from Remnant Beasts?"

"Pursuing your so-called dreams, using others as a sacrifice, what morality do you have that’s better than the Remnant Beasts?"

After pushing Semi back once more, she took a fierce step forward, then reversed her grip on the magic wand and placed it behind her: "If you really think you are mighty, if you really believe you’re just, then stop making fun of ordinary people every day, why not challenge the evil you speak of, huh?"

"And if you can’t do even that, then at the very least, at least..."

She lifted her head, yelling with all her might: "Can you not choose every time when others are celebrating to launch a terror attack, do you know, you’re really annoying!"

At this point, her magic wand, now riddled with holes and completely white, burst into flames in her hand.

The last traces of impurities in the wand vanished in the blazing white flames, which, like the touch of a skilled artisan, sketched intricate patterns on its surface, cleverly converging at the tail of the wand.

At the tip of the wand, all the original decorations gradually melted in the flames, and from within, a blazing white gemstone rose and settled atop of the wand. Then, a series of complicated ornaments spiraled up around the gemstone, securely enclosing it.

The part where her hand gripped the wand indented with several grooves, within which lay a few transparent Crystal Stones, one of them shimmering with fierce white light while the others were completely clear, showing no color.

After the transformation, her magic wand was more like a scepter than a wand.

A scepter inlaid with a white gemstone.

Following this, the name of the magic weapon, no, Magic Armor came unbidden, as if it had always existed, firmly etched into Lin Xiaolu’s heart.

As her thoughts flowed, she already knew everything about her Magic Armor.

"Scepter of Kingship."

Thus she spoke, commanding as if by decree, to her scepter in hand: "Morph, Guardian Mode."

The next second, the pure white scepter took on color.

The few Crystal Stones on the scepter, the one previously glowing with fierce white light, suddenly went out, turning from white to colorless, while another colorless Crystal Stone lit up, becoming light blue.

The scepter in her hand also transformed along with the color change of the Crystal Stones, and in an instant, it became a light blue staff, elongating until it surpassed Lin Xiaolu’s own height.

A light blue lance appeared in her hands.

As if intuitively knowing how to handle it, she twirled the lance in her hands, performing a few impressive flourishes, then, weapon in hand, she took three steps as if they were two and charged at Semi—

Shi.

But then, because the lance was too long and caught in the ground, she tripped and fell face down.
