That was Bai Jingxuan.
However, present was a Bai Jingxuan whom no one except Erald Sparrow had ever seen.
Her sclerae had turned completely black just like a kite's, and her imnse magic power far surpassed that of a normal Ye Level Magical Girl. Standing opposite Yuan, although much shorter in stature, her aura was not much weaker.
Her eyes brimd with a murderous intent, almost daring soone to et her gaze.
"...So it turns out, you are that 'Bai Jingxuan'?"
However, Yuan seed completely oblivious to this murderous intent. She clapped her hands joyously and said, "So that's it! No wonder the boss specifically asked to bring you along. This is really interesting!"
Bai Jingxuan did not respond to her at all.
She remained silent and suddenly lunged forward like a wild beast that had lost its sanity.
In the dark of night, two masses of dark-colored magic power collided, making it hard for the others present to determine who had the upper hand.
The black and green beast unleashed its magic power wildly, seemingly indifferent to Yuan's attacks. Regardless of whether its body was wounded by weapons or its magic power was weakened by the mist, it continued relentlessly, as if determined to perish together with its foe.
This desperate fighting style, coupled with equally strong magic power, managed to montarily restrain Yuan.
However, it didn't take long for Yuan to discern a pattern amidst the seemingly chaotic combat.
She weaved through the furious assaults like a frail boat amidst giant waves and then, exploiting a tiny flaw, pressed her palm against Bai Jingxuan's abdon.
"Great potential, but still too green."
She comnted thus.
Imdiately after, the pitch-black magic power surrounding her abruptly paused, fading montarily as layers of dark ripples furiously spread outwards.
A trendous humming sound emanated from Yuan's palm, as if the very air itself was shattered, with fine cracks spreading from her hand.
"Bang"
Then, Bai Jingxuan was flung away.
Like being struck by so colossal force out of thin air, she was propelled like a cannonball, her speed so fast that ordinary human eyes couldn't capture it.
A sharp whooshing sound grazed past the ears of those present as Bai Jingxuan's body flew, almost falling off the mountain and plumting down the cliff.
Fortunately, Hong Siyu was quick to react.
Opening her notebook, a purplish-red magic power promptly ford a net in Bai Jingxuan's flight path, catching her.
Yuan naturally could not just watch this unfold. As soon as Bai Jingxuan was caught, she had already charged again towards Hong Siyu. This ti, nurous shadows holding different weapons erged from the black mist, attacking simultaneously.
It was Margaret's turn to save the day.
She tily blocked Yuan's swung weapon with her magic wand. Amidst a brief explosive sound, she unexpectedly pushed her magic wand down a bit, blocking a second assault from within the black mist.
"Retreat, use firepower to restrain her!"
While shouting, she pushed Hong Siyu back, and then her magic wand once again transford into Magic Armor in the shape of a goblet. As the liquid spilled from the cup, she tangled with Yuan in close combat.
All this was seen by Erald Sparrow.
At this mont, she had been placed by Asou Haruka beside a tree, leaning weakly against the trunk, rely watching the battle unfold.
The hole in her chest could be repaired with magic power, but it required a huge amount. Therefore, she had to reduce her movents and let the magic power quickly nd her wounds.
But being unable to join the battle did not an she was helpless about the situation.
Just as she had said to Lin Xiaolu just now, in her view, "the situation already belonged to their side."
For just at that mont, when she was solidly impacted by the attack, she seed to have vaguely understood a part of the opponent's extensive abilities.
Unlike the first encounter at the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, this ti, Erald Sparrow hadn't said a word until now and hadn't ntioned her abilities after unleashing Beast Heart Liberation.
Without doubt, she was also guarding against Magic Armor.
During their last encounter, because Erald Sparrow had carelessly revealed one of her core abilities, "Qi," it led her to be sealed off by that ability and ultimately resulted in her defeat. She clearly hadn't forgotten this event.
It was also for that reason Erald Sparrow hadn't asked for Hong Siyu's assistance until now to use that exceedingly unstable second Magic Armor.
Because she had to ensure her scissors were used at the most critical point.
So far, Erald Sparrow's Beast Heart Liberation had exhibited quite comprehensive abilities, not only retaining the ability of her Magic Armor to transform into weapons but also demonstrating enhancents in speed, strength, magic power, and even mixing with "Qi" to exert a certain suppressive effect on her own abilities.
Enhancing her own qualities while weakening the enemy's combat capabilities can be said to be quite brutal and simple.
However, knowing these wasn't enough.
How extensive were her abilities? How large was the impact range? Was it truly worth using her scissors? More importantly, to use her scissors to remove this part of the ability, Erald Sparrow had to first understand the essence of it.
Just then, she caught that fleeting insight.
When Erald Sparrow's katana was about to pierce her chest, she realized—this was risky, but it was also an opportunity.
The opponent's speed was extrely fast, and with normal ans, one couldn't even touch her trace, so there had been no effective attacks previously. However fast she might be, during the mont of attack, Erald Sparrow was unable to move greatly.
That is to say, the mont Erald Sparrow attacked her was actually the best ti to counterattack.
As for how to counterattack, it was quite simple: use the silk threads connected behind her. Several threads connected to her body, originally ant to pull and assist movent, but their role wasn't fixed. As long as she shifted the threads' connected points on her body, they could transform from a tool aiding movent into a weapon inflicting damage on Erald Sparrow.
Then, where should she move the connection point of the threads?
The decision she made at that mont was to move directly towards the position where the magic power source was locked.
Because at that instant, Erald Sparrow's katana would inevitably head towards that point, and the threads could simultaneously cut her opponent's arm at the sa ti.
This was what happened in that flash of a mont, and it turned out, her idea was correct.
When the katana pierced through her chest, the sensation transmitted through the thread didn't lie; Erald Sparrow was cut.
Even though the exchange was not at all equal, she suffered far more in terms of injuries and depleted magic power than her opponent, but, she succeeded in inflicting effective damage for the first ti.
Although the threads rely cut and didn't cause real damage, the important thing was, she discovered sothing, sothing far more crucial than any other exchanges before.
—Erald Sparrow hesitated for a mont; it seed she was pondering whether or not to endure this strike.
This was an intriguing performance.
Erald Sparrow's Beast Heart Liberation clearly involved not only increases in speed and magic power but also an exaggerated improvent in her body's external pressure and defensive capabilities.
That is to say, even if her threads cut Erald Sparrow, she wouldn't lose too much magic power.
So, why the hesitation?
Erald Sparrow couldn't find the truth with just this information, but, having this bit of information was already enough.
"Asou."
Just as she understood this point, she raised her voice, addressing Asou Haruka who was entangled with Erald Sparrow nearby:
— "Unleash it."
