Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 75 – Formidable enemy
"Well, I am indeed Bai Jingxuan, but the process of this matter is quite complicated and difficult to explain now."
Bai Jingxuan knew nothing about Tian Sheng's thoughts. While she was trying to control the direction of flight, she summarized and answered his question, "If I have to explain briefly, it's because we encountered a fairy."
"A fairy?"
Tian Sheng blinked and turned to look at Mo Ke flying beside him, "Are you talking about this thing?"
"What do you mean by 'this thing'? Are all human magic users as rude as you?"
Mo Ke, displeased with his tone, said, "I am a seeder, a seeder! I am an important person from the kingdom to you!"
Tian Sheng was equally puzzled by the term "seeder," but Bai Jingxuan continued to explain, and he finally understood its meaning. He said with some realization, "So, this fairy is the messenger responsible for selecting magical girls, and it seems that it has already found you?"
After a moment of contemplation, he quickly made many associations, "Could it be that the incident we encountered in the courtyard today..."
"Well, although I don't know why, it seems that they were after me."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jingxuan lowered her gaze, feeling a bit disappointed, "Maybe I have caused trouble for everyone in the orphanage."
"Hey! What are you talking about? How can this be considered as causing trouble or not? Without you, they would still be a group of villains. It's just a different group of people causing harm. You are the victim, there's no need to bear their crimes for them."
Tian Sheng didn't care much and defended her, "Let's not talk about this meaningless topic. What about your magic power... I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel that my injuries heal faster after coming into contact with this magic power. Did you do something?"
He had suffered a fatal penetrating wound in the previous battle, and even using recovery spell formulas could only keep him alive. But since Bai Jingxuan saved him, he felt that the pain in his wound gradually subsided.
Even now, when he lightly pressed on the wound, there was no more blood flowing out.
"I don't know, I didn't do anything."
Bai Jingxuan was also very puzzled about this and could only shake her head. After a while, she thought of something and looked at the fairy beside her, "Does Mo Ke know?"
Mo Ke didn't know.
The fairy, who was named, really wanted to answer like that.
As a half-hearted seeder, it really only knew a little about magical girls. Otherwise, it wouldn't need Cui Que to handle most of the teaching tasks.
Bai Jingxuan's magic power seemed to have the ability to heal others, whether this was a special case or a common phenomenon, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, and whether it was recorded in the history of the kingdom, it didn't know anything about it. Naturally, it couldn't explain anything.
"Well, how should I put it..."
But considering that it needed to maintain a reliable image in front of Bai Jingxuan, Mo Ke could only rack its brains and think, "I remember reading about it in a book before. There should be precedents, but it is indeed very special."
This answer seemed serious but also ambiguous, and it could only learn more about it later.
Anyway, Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang's magic power didn't show this characteristic, so Bai Jingxuan's situation should be relatively special. As for whether there were precedents or not, if there were, it would support its statement; if not, it could say that it remembered it wrong. In any case, it had the right to interpret.
"What kind of book is it?" Bai Jingxuan was very interested in the topic of books. When it heard that there was a record in a book, she asked.
"I'll let you read it later!"
Afraid of being exposed, Mo Ke forcefully changed the topic, "Anyway, now is not the time to discuss this. Let's try our best to get out of the barrier first! I can also call for reinforcements!"
Wait for the inspector to come over later and ask if she knows anything. It silently calculated in its mind.
Bai Jingxuan and Tian Sheng obviously still had questions, but there was no time to continue chatting because soon, the group arrived at the edge of the street where the orphanage was located, under the barrier.
Arriving at the familiar place, Mo Ke flew over and tried to extend its claws, but they still couldn't pass through. It immediately waved its arm and called out, "This way, this way!"
Bai Jingxuan slowly descended from the air and nodded. She then supported Tian Sheng and walked to the edge of the barrier.
After being supported to the corresponding position, Tian Sheng reached out and sensed the strength and flow of magic power in the barrier. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then lightly patted Bai Jingxuan's shoulder.
"It's okay, let me stand on my own."
After flying all the way under the influence of Bai Jingxuan's magic power, his injuries had improved a lot. Although the wound still hurt, it was no longer life-threatening. He was just in a relatively weak state.
Bai Jingxuan was slightly worried, but she obediently let go of her hand and stood aside. Seeing that Tian Sheng seemed to be able to move on his own, she relaxed a bit, but still paid attention to his condition in case he suddenly fell.
Tian Sheng stood still in place, took a few deep breaths, then looked up at the barrier in front of him and began to observe its structure.
"Listen to me later, use your magic power to attack the designated points and destroy its operational structure. Then I will take the opportunity to remove the barrier."
He raised his hand and pointed to several locations on the barrier, "In order, it should be 30 degrees to the left of your position, then above..."
—"In terms of the order of attack, it's you first, then that damn fairy, and finally the disobedient seeder."Almost at the same time, a voice came from behind them, interrupting Tian Sheng's words.
The group turned back in surprise and saw a man in a black robe walking slowly from the nearby wall, his face gloomy but still wearing a mysterious smile.
"Sorry, I do appreciate your efforts in this process, and I don't want your efforts to be in vain. But if you continue like this, my own efforts will be wasted. Oh, no, thanks to that damn fairy over there, it's already wasted."
Strangely, although he was the only one who came, his words were full of contempt for the two people and the fairy in front of him.
Unlike the black-robed men that Bai Jingxuan had encountered before, this man not only had a sense of superiority in his words, but his black robe was also unusual. It was adorned with strange and eerie golden patterns, making people feel uncomfortable.
Instinctively raising her magic wand, Bai Jingxuan stood in front of Mo Ke and Tian Sheng, and said cautiously, "Are you the one who trapped everyone here?"
"Everyone? Oh, you mean the people in this orphanage?"

The man stopped and shook his head. "No, child, I have to tell you that you seem to have misunderstood something. The 'everyone' you mentioned has no value to me. I only wanted you from the beginning."
Bai Jingxuan tightened her grip on her magic wand. "Why?"
"Why? Do you really need to ask me? Don't you know that your so-called strange illness, the one that cannot be diagnosed or cured by modern medicine, is it really just an illness?"
The man in the black robe grinned unreservedly. "You are special, child. Your 'illness' is not a bad thing at all, but a proof of your uniqueness, chosen by the gods."
"The reason is simple. It's not a physical problem, but it comes from your soul, your magic power."
"Children like you are chosen by the gods. Your mission is to return to the embrace of the gods and contribute to their return to this world."
After speaking, he reached out his hand towards Bai Jingxuan. "Now, can you feel my goodwill, child?"
"...Don't listen to him, it's all nonsense."
Tian Sheng, weakly, held Bai Jingxuan's shoulder from behind. "He speaks nicely, but in reality, the so-called 'contribution' is a sacrifice, offering living people to the so-called evil gods. This guy is probably a cultist from who knows where."
"A cult?" The man widened his eyes, as if he had heard something unexpected.
"Hahaha, a cult? You ordinary people, who can't even remember your own glory, dare to call us a cult?"
He laughed loudly, then slowly lowered his face and raised his hand. With a deep voice, he said, "Don't make me laugh, you foolish pig."
"Be careful!"
Seeing the man's posture, Mo Ke immediately reminded from the side.
Of course, even without her reminder, Bai Jingxuan had already realized what the man was going to do. She almost subconsciously turned her head and used her flying ability to push Tian Sheng away, dodging to the side.
At the same time, a bright light flashed in the cuff of the man's robe, and a twisted sphere formed by magic power suddenly appeared in Tian Sheng's original position, with a radius of several meters.
If Bai Jingxuan hadn't reacted quickly enough, Tian Sheng would have been hit by this sudden attack.
"Shadow Vortex?"
Tian Sheng, lying on the ground, looked at the ball that seemed to be a spell with astonishment. "No, this size, this speed and power... It's impossible, even the controller shouldn't have such magic power!"
On the other side, after helping Tian Sheng dodge the man's attack, Bai Jingxuan immediately understood the situation and began her counterattack.
Her use of magic power was still a bit rusty, and she was worried that using magic power at this time would backfire, so she decided to continue with close combat. She used magic power to strengthen her body, then rushed forward, swinging her magic wand directly at the man.
In the previous battles, she had used this method to deal with the black-robed men.
The physical qualities of a magical girl far surpassed those of ordinary people. Coupled with the enhancement of magic power, even a blunt strike was enough to easily kill someone.
And if Bai Jingxuan had been willing to hold back against ordinary black-robed men, she dared not be careless against the strange man in front of her. Even though she didn't want to kill, she exerted all her strength to guard against any strange tricks the man might use.
"Clang!"
However, her attack was blocked by the man with just a raised hand, without using any magic spell.
"How is it possible... that a human can withstand the attacks of a magical girl?"
Mo Ke, who was standing by, couldn't help but be astonished, and even fell into confusion for a moment. "Even if Xiao Xuan is just a newly transformed rookie, it shouldn't be like this. No, this is too strange. Am I dreaming?"
"Are humans inferior to magical girls? Hmph."
The man couldn't help but sneer at the words. "Yes, it is an undeniable fact. But, it doesn't apply to me."
With a strong push of his arm, a tremendous force was transmitted through Bai Jingxuan's magic wand, causing her to retreat several steps.
"How... how can there be such great strength?" She looked at the man in front of her in astonishment, finding it hard to believe.
Although she had only recently gained the power of a magical girl, she had a certain understanding of her newfound strength. After all, the black-robed figures she had encountered before were just normal adults, and their strength was nothing compared to Bai Jingxuan.
But this man in front of her was completely different. Bai Jingxuan had a feeling that even though she was already a magical girl, the struggle just now felt like a child facing a ferocious beast.
Even though her small size and light weight could be a reason, it was not a reason for her attacks to be ineffective.
This man's strength was not on the same level as normal humans, and it even made people involuntarily doubt whether he was still a human.
"What's wrong? Is the proud power of a magical girl not effective? Feeling panicked?"
He twisted his neck and grinned. "The power of 'magical girls surpasses everything'? I've heard this phrase so many times, it's truly rebellious and blasphemous..."
He raised his hand, and a dark purple magic power condensed in his palm. "Let me educate you all on the superiority and inferiority of power, regardless of identity."
With his actions, the same dark purple magic spheres as before suddenly appeared, but this time, there were countless of them. The spheres gathered around Bai Jingxuan and Tian Sheng, leaving them no time to react before exploding.
"Be careful!"
Bai Jingxuan instinctively wanted to use her magic to repel these spheres, but found that it had no effect. The man's magic power was much stronger than the other black-robed figures, even stronger than her own. Not to mention dissolving the structure of his spell formula, her magic power was even penetrated and his spell formula quickly struck beside her.
In a moment of desperation, Bai Jingxuan quickly made a judgment and kicked her legs, using a large amount of magic power to fly and dodge, taking Tian Sheng with her to the side.
But this time, before she could land, she saw the man move. He leaned his body and kicked, taking several large strides as he charged towards her landing spot.
She would be caught when she landed.
Bai Jingxuan understood the man's intentions and immediately tried to adjust the direction of her flight, but it was ultimately too late. The man punched her in the chest.
Boom!
Like being struck by a giant object, Bai Jingxuan flew straight out and heavily crashed into a nearby barrier.
The intense impact made her feel as if all the air in her lungs had been squeezed out. The pain made her feel like her whole body was experiencing a sudden illness, without any other sensations, and she couldn't even scream.
"Cough... ugh..."

As if her body had fallen apart, Bai Jingxuan slid down from the barrier and knelt on the ground, coughing in pain.
Although Tian Sheng hadn't been directly attacked by the man, he was also injured by the surrounding dense vortex of shadows. After falling to the ground, he also found it difficult to stand up for a while.
"Xiao Xuan!" Mo Ke, who was standing by, saw Bai Jingxuan being severely injured and called out anxiously.
The three of them who had come to the barrier were now only left with Mo Ke, and this call caught the man's attention.
His figure swayed slightly, and he grabbed Mo Ke's wings with one hand and held its head with the other.
"Ah! Ahhh!"
Mo Ke, whose head was being held, screamed in fear, but couldn't escape the man's grasp.
"Sneaking into this place inexplicably, turning the intended sacrifice into a magical girl, you have really given me a great gift."
Holding Mo Ke's head tightly, the man's face revealed a somewhat sinister smile. "You pseudo royal court are truly incapable of changing your disgusting behavior, always repeating such nauseating actions."
"For a year, we searched through the entire southwestern Donghua City, and only recently found such a suitable sacrifice in this city. Even though we acted as quickly as possible, even risking being caught by the pseudo royal court's investigation institute, we were still beaten to it by you."
"Hahaha! Haha... ah, tsk, it's really impossible to laugh."
"Fairy, oh fairy, how did you easily destroy all my efforts? What's with this ridiculous image, this inexplicable motive, this illogical behavior? It's just like a pitiful clown. Why did I let something like you ruin the efforts I've been running for so long?"
"Feeling the pain now, huh? Next, I will crush your head, take out the source of your magic power from this ridiculous doll-like body, and use it as a material for my spell formula. You will spend your whole life making up for this stupid loss in my hands."
"Ugh... ugh..."
Struggling with his grip on her head, Mo Ke seemed to want to say something."Oh? Do you have any last words?"
The man slightly raised his eyebrows, his palm loosening a bit, "If you can say something interesting in your confession, I might let you die a bit more quickly."
Mo Ke took a couple of deep breaths.
She stared at the man for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "Xiaoxuan! Run if you can't beat him!"
Her shout reached Bai Jingxuan, who was at the edge of the barrier, causing her to open her eyes slightly amidst her pain.
The man's movements paused slightly.
Then, as if he had heard something quite amusing, the smile on his face became even more cruel, "Run? Don't worry, none of you will escape."
"Whether it's that stupid pig, you, or the disobedient sacrifice, all of you who dare to mock me will pay for your actions!"
With that, he tightened his grip again, ready to kill Mo Ke directly.
But at this critical moment, his action was interrupted once again.
It wasn't the injured Tian Sheng, nor the fallen Bai Jingxuan, but a beam of purple magic power that suddenly shot from the sky, aiming directly at his wrist.
"What the hell—"
Subconsciously loosening his grip, the man quickly retreated, dodging the beam of magic power. He looked somewhat surprised at the direction from which it had come, only to see two figures floating in the air not far away.
Upon closer inspection, he could see they were two girls.
Before he could identify who they were, the purple magic power beams, like a rifle, continuously shot down from the sky, forcing him to retreat again and again. During this time, one figure descended from the sky, helping up Bai Jingxuan who had already knelt on the ground.
"Are you okay?" the newcomer asked with concern.
"Cough, cough, I'm fine, but Mo Ke and Uncle Tian, they're in danger."
Bai Jingxuan endured the pain, barely raising her head, and was stunned when she saw the attire of the person in front of her, "You are…"
The newcomer didn't respond, but silently stood up, her golden hair fluttering, and her light blue skirt sweeping past Bai Jingxuan.
"How did you get in here?" The man not far away roared in frustration, "Again and again, why do you all come to ruin my plans? What is that woman with the claw marks doing?"
The two girls didn't answer his question.
"Harassing civilians, bullying the old and the young, abusing power, committing crimes, inflicting terror on the vulnerable, violating city laws for personal desires, it all ends here!"
The girl standing in front of Bai Jingxuan spoke righteously, "Magical Girl, Bai Mei!"
The other one also descended amidst the cover of firepower and stood beside her, "Magical Girl, Xiaojin!"
Then, they spoke in unison, "Now, we will judge your evil deeds!"
