She was waving her hand.
As if promising "no problem," the girl waved her wrist, and after hanging in the air for a few seconds, she once again burst forth with magic power, flying towards the other end of the sky.
Only leaving Wang Tengfei watching that shrinking figure, although he felt sowhat lancholic, for so reason, he suddenly revealed a smile of relief.
"Let's finish early for the afternoon."
Above the azure sky, a royal blue magic power trail spanned the heavens. Although it was not accompanied by the other three colors as before, that solitary blue was straight and clear, upright and steadfast.
That was the blue many people rembered.
It was also the blue that belonged to Fangting City.
...
...
"——Roarrrrrrrrrrrr!"
A massive beast claw slamd down from mid-air, tearing apart the concrete pavent and sending up clouds of earth and debris.
In Lixing District, inside Fangting City's First Welfare Institute, the battle was still ongoing.
After retreating from the position of the Remnant Beast's attack, Lin Xiaolu clenched her magic wand, turned back fiercely, and shot several magic power beams at the Remnant Beast's head. However, once the pale blue beams touched the Remnant Beast, they could only leave shallow wounds.
"Rawr!"
An attack that couldn't severely injure the Remnant Beast only made it angrier. The Remnant Beast, resembling a tiger or leopard, stood upright with its robust, enormous body and in just two steps crossed over to Lin Xiaolu's front, then it pounded down again at her position.
"Damn it!"
Swinging her magic wand, manipulating the magic power to move again, Lin Xiaolu shouted with so reluctance, "Why is it so hard! This guy!"
"Xiaolu, don't be impulsive, conserve your magic power!"
Xia Liang earnestly reminded from the side. The Deflection Mirror beside her flickered, creating several duplicates that dissipated the black magic bullets occasionally spat out by the Remnant Beast into nothingness: "This guy's epidermal defense is very abnormal, much harder than the typical Inchworm!
If the man who had turned into the Remnant Beast still retained his full reason and could speak, he would certainly have been scoffing at them now.
Because among the three Magical Girls present, not to ntion Bai Jingxuan who was a complete newbie, the other two also couldn't breach its defenses.
Close-combat attacks could only leave slight dents, and long-range magic shots could only scrape the surface skin. Even if it didn't dodge their attacks at all, it never suffered any substantial damage.
If its transformation after becoming a Remnant Beast had to be classified according to the evolutionary traits of the Remnant Beasts, it was probably at the Inchworm stage.
Compared to the earlier stages, it possessed stronger magic power and its special organs further mutated, covering most of its body. The disproportionally large claws indicated that the transford man was likely in an evolved state of the claw-corroding type.
Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu had seen Inchworm-stage Remnant Beasts before. Although Erald Sparrow had always required them to keep away from battles involving Inchworm-level or higher, they knew about the range of their strength.
At the very least, Xia Liang as a genuine Bud-level Magical Girl, should not be completely helpless against it.
Even if her magical equipnt couldn't significantly enhance her attack power and had only been acquired for a few days without full developnt, she shouldn't be like now, only capable of inflicting superficial wounds on the man who turned into a Remnant Beast.
And even though she couldn't harm the man, the fight had to continue. Behind them was the welfare institute, ho to countless innocent elders and children. Losing there was unthinkable.
The light blue and violet magic power surrounded the giant beast, continually maneuvering and dodging, relentlessly pounding and shooting,
On another front, Bai Jingxuan assisted Tian Sheng to sit aside, step by step following his directions to remove the magical barrier encompassing the welfare institute.
"Hurry, Xiaoxuan!"
Moke, while keeping an eye on the distant battle, urged anxiously: "I feel like the situation over there is getting stickier!"
Since the initial reinforcents and beginning of their battle with the man, Lin Xiaolu and the others had been gradually losing montum.
Initially, they could press the attack frequency with their spirit. But as the Remnant Beast realized their attacks were ineffective, that spirit began to decay endlessly with the extended rhythm of the fight.
By now, there was almost no chance of a turnaround.
Therefore, Moke and the others could only hope to keep the Remnant Beast at bay long enough to dismantle the barrier quickly and call Erald Sparrow for assistance.
Ti passed second by second, the progress of removing the barrier steadily advancing until at a certain mont, the previously invisible barrier began to flicker with unstable ripples.
"This is it! Cough cough..."
Tian Sheng, sitting by the roadside, shouted excitedly, then due to aggravating his wound, weakly sat back down: "Only a few structural points left!"
Bai Jingxuan didn't say much, nodded obediently, and continued the task of removing the barrier.
However, different from the steady progress on this end, problems had finally erged in Lin Xiaolu's battle after a long duration.
The first was a mistake by Lin Xiaolu herself. When dodging the Remnant Beast's close attack, she failed to choose the right position, and in mid-air, she found herself right in the path of the magic bullets.
The deep purple-black spheres, each the size of a basketball, spit out by the enemy flew directly at Lin Xiaolu in the air, about to hit her.
It was at this mont, a mirror suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking those magic bullets.
That was Xia Liang's magic equipnt, which could deflect the enemy's magic attacks. But under these circumstances, she could only manage to deflect and weaken the attacks, without even enough ti to set up another mirror for teleportation.
