Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 445 - 86 Wang Yao_3
Those strange Magic Silk Threads immediately made it think of Cornflower, and whether it was Cornflower’s previous record in the Garden defense battle or the battle with Kite, it had made it wary of the capabilities of this type of Magic Armor.
If the opponent’s abilities were somewhat ordinary, it could naturally strike back with full force at any time; however, if the abilities were tricky, it could immediately retreat to prevent itself from being at a disadvantage due to a lack of information.
Keep in mind, there was more than one person currently captive in its nest, defeating this sprout-level newbie was one thing, and there were at least two Ye Level awaiting its handling on the side. Suffering significant injuries here would be disadvantageous for the upcoming battles.
Thus, taking into account the different considerations of both sides, the battle situation displayed a rather bizarre scene: a sprout-level Magical Girl who had just awakened her Magic Armor was suppressing a Semi, who had mastered part of the rules, in combat.
Lin Xiaolu was advancing vigorously, while Semi was fighting while retreating.
Of course, both sides knew that this situation could not continue indefinitely.
Lin Xiaolu did not consider herself a fool, she had already seen clearly the abilities of her Magic Armor and had even tried using some of them, but she had ultimately not revealed everything. Continuously suppressing her opponent was also an attempt to force Semi to show some flaws, to finish it off in one fell swoop.

Semi was likewise doing the same, waiting for Lin Xiaolu to reveal her abilities. As soon as she disclosed a part of her capabilities, it could immediately devise a corresponding strategy instead of engaging in the meaningless struggle like now.
And the opportunity both were waiting for soon arrived.
Perhaps due to a lack of experience in hand-to-hand combat, or perhaps simply because using the long spear was clumsy, in any case, amidst relentless aggressive attacks, despite her best efforts to avoid doing so, Lin Xiaolu still exposed a significant flaw.
Following a thrust that missed, she unknowingly left her abdomen unprotected.
Semi had no reason to let go of this opportunity.
With such a huge flaw exposed, if it could seize it, the opponent would inevitably have to use more tactics to compensate, and even if she managed to defend, she would definitely have to reveal more, like the abilities of the Magic Armor.
So, it decisively twisted its body, its twin tails trailing, accompanying a whistling sound, struck like a long whip towards Lin Xiaolu’s exposed abdomen.
In such a critical moment, Lin Xiaolu appeared not to be panicking.
She did not anticipate this specific mishap, but in fact, she had long anticipated that she would make a mistake.
Mistakes were not surprising, especially when one was using a weapon she had never used before. The important thing was, how to compensate for the mistake.
This aspect, Lin Xiaolu had already figured out.
Suddenly, a shiny Magic Silk Thread appeared behind her, urgently pulling her forward body at the critical moment, then, like a marionette, dragged her backward.
Indeed, this was the move that Emerald Sparrow had used during the battle with Kite not long ago.
It was also one of the first uses Lin Xiaolu considered when she discovered her Magic Armor could manipulate silk threads.
She had fantasized countless times about what her Magic Armor should look like. If it were her just after becoming a Magical Girl, she would definitely choose to emulate the abilities of characters in animations, exploiting her own abilities.
Later, as she deepened her understanding of the role of a Magical Girl, the Magic Armor and abilities she wanted also changed time and again; there was even a period when she dreamed about what her Magic Armor should be like.
But no moment was like when she discovered that her Magic Armor actually included "Silk Threads"; such an excitement erupted from her heart.
Without a doubt, she loved silk threads.
No matter what her previous perception of this "weapon" had been, at least after she had met Emerald Sparrow and witnessed its battles countless times, to her, silk threads were the best weapons in the world.
Even so, silk threads were now her most familiar weapon.
Even though she had never used it herself, even though she had never thought she would combat in this manner, the moment she extracted the silk threads from her Magic Armor, the idea of "how to fight with this weapon" was already clear in her mind.
Emerald Sparrow had taught her.
This reason outweighed a thousand words.
Of course, her control over the silk thread was clearly not up to par, and it was impossible for her to manipulate it as effortlessly as Emerald Sparrow did, but just controlling a single thread to pull herself out of danger was more than sufficient.
This was the confidence that allowed her to keep attacking aggressively, even though she knew she might expose vulnerabilities.
Moreover, as she used the silk thread to extricate herself from peril and lured Semi into attacking her vulnerability, the dynamics of attack and defense had already changed twice.
Now, it was Semi who was exposed.
The more resolute and relentless the attack, the more it eliminated the possibility of evasion.
And this was the opportunity Lin Xiaolu had been seeking all along.
The moment she was pulled back by the silk thread, she reversed the grip on her spear, switching to a throwing position, and raised it high, like throwing a javelin, and threw it. Enjoy exclusive adventures from novelbuddy
Such a throw naturally lacked leverage; theoretically, it posed no threat, and indeed it was so, her thrown spear was weak and did not even follow a straight trajectory. The spear moved diagonally through the air in an arc, like a silent mockery.
But before Semi could ponder the intention behind her move, the spear thrown into the sky suddenly turned its spearhead and aimed at it.
Whoosh.
As if attracted by a magnet, as if it had its own soul, the spear suddenly began to accelerate in mid-air, as if pushed by something, and shot explosively toward Semi.
Unable to react further, Semi, still in the midst of an attack action, had no time to disengage and could only continue flipping its body, driven by the momentum of the attack, hoping its tail would meet the spear and thwart the attack head-on.
Its judgment was undoubtedly correct; had the spear continued on its trajectory, it would indeed have blocked the attack.
But its judgment was also wrong, because this time, it finally had no time to guard against Lin Xiaolu’s abilities.
In an instant, at the same moment Semi changed its stance, Lin Xiaolu’s thrown spear altered its trajectory once more. This time, as if drawn by something, the spear traced an arc in the air, intentionally avoiding Semi’s tail, and accelerated once again, shooting straight toward its eye.
Why?
This question now dominated Semi’s mind.
And as this question arose, it began to reassess its situation, and then noticed a fine Magic Silk Thread on its eye that it hadn’t noticed before,
It was this Magic Silk Thread that was pulling the spear not far away.
This was actually Lin Xiaolu’s Magic Armor ability, "Guidance and Piercing."
As long as a location is connected by the silk thread, the spear can reach it; wherever the thread anchors, the spear can pierce through.
Although technically this ability still required a prefix of "sufficient Magic Power," obviously, bypassing two tails and piercing the inherently fragile eye wouldn’t deplete Lin Xiaolu’s Magic Power.
This was why Lin Xiaolu had kept her ability hidden until now, waiting for a killing blow.
Only by using it at this moment could she corner her opponent completely.
Pierce it, pierce it.
Pulled by the silk thread and continuing to fly backward, Lin Xiaolu’s eyes widened as she watched Semi recede into the distance, chanting continuously in her mind.
Because this was her most critical card; once played, it had to take effect.
And as she fervently prayed, Semi, now unavoidably annoyed, let out an irritated "meow" as if giving up on something, and abruptly closed its eye.
Then, the huge body of the Remnant Beast flickered slightly in mid-air and then vanished from Lin Xiaolu’s sight.
