NOVEL NEXT Chapter 150
Chapter 150: The Short-statured Fiery Blade
In truth, Fi Ren was indeed uneasy… Although she knew her sister would never kill her, after all, her sister would rather beat her up and then hand her over to the Monster Leader for transformation!
But to Fi Ren, becoming a lackey of the Monster Organization was no different from death! Moreover, she did not want to work under that detestable Monster Leader. If she ended up like her sister… Fi Ren would rather die!
But how could she block Ling Li’s full-power attack? If she were to clash head-on, she currently had no sword or blade that could do such a thing!
Dodging was also out of the question… If she moved, the school behind her would be in danger. Her own sister already had little emotion towards humans, and now she had transformed into a monster! It was likely that she wouldn’t even flinch no matter how many people she killed…
Since that was the case, she could only… use that strange power just now!
She took a light breath, and Fi Ren looked at Ling Li again. Although she felt deep down that once she actively used this power, it would be like opening Pandora’s Box, and she might not be able to return…
But so what?
Lifting her eyelids, Fi Ren’s gaze showed no hesitation! For her, as long as she could protect humans from harm under the Monster Leader’s hands, she could use any power! For her, as long as the result was achieved, she didn’t care what form she took!
“There’s no time for you to think.”
After about thirty seconds, Ling Li spoke indifferently, “Are you going to admit your weakness and move aside, or are you going to take the hit and be half-destroyed… Make your decision now!”
As soon as she finished speaking, all of Ling Li’s cannons fired simultaneously! At the same time, the two floating wolf heads opened their mouths, spewing ice breath and flames from either side—
Facing the overwhelming attack filled with immense magical energy, Fi Ren suddenly widened her snake-like eyes! As if she instinctively knew what to do, she stood there without drawing her sword or dodging, simply staring unflinchingly at the attack—
“Bang!!”
And unsurprisingly, Fi Ren was hit by all of Ling Li’s attacks! With a violent explosion, Fi Ren was instantly battered and bloodied! Though her current injuries weren’t immediately fatal, she would certainly not be able to be a magical girl anymore—
Seeing her sister neither using beast core powers nor dodging the attack, but standing there and taking it directly to protect a group of strangers behind her.
“What a fool…”
Ling Li revealed her disgust openly. She wanted to go forward and drag the severely injured Fi Ren away, quickly sending her to the Monster Organization for treatment—
“Swoosh!”
A white-golden longsword suddenly flew out from the smoke of the explosion, stabbing into Ling Li’s chest, followed by a burst of purification magic from the sword—
“Huh?”
Caught off guard, Ling Li was directly hit. Her body was subjected to a direct cleansing by the purification magic! Her magic core should have been completely destroyed…
“Bang.”
Ling Li fell to the ground, and as the smoke cleared… Fi Ren stood there unscathed, her clothes spotless, as if she hadn’t just been hit by so much magical energy!
The only difference from before was that Fi Ren was no longer the tall figure she had been, but had reverted to her pre-transformation loli form, even her usual twin-tails were back, except her hair remained red.
Although she had lost her tall stature, the shorter Fi Ren standing there seemed more intimidating than ever! At least the Magic Crocodile Cadre’s gaze towards her was now similar to how it looked at Magical Girl · Tyrant, and even Judgment, who usually ignored everything except Bai Yu, showed a moment of surprise.
Then she continued pouring cola for Bai Yu, while Bai Yu picked up the cup and examined the state of Fi Ren’s magic core inside… The cracks were slightly larger than before.
Strange… Generally, if a magic core showed cracks, it meant it was weakening, as those were signs of excessive use leading to fragmentation. But what was happening with Fi Ren? Could a fragmented magic core become stronger? This didn’t fit the world’s rules!
Moreover, if Fi Ren had used her original beast core powers, her magic core should have been contaminated, like Meng Yue and Ling Li. And how had she managed to take Ling Li’s attack unharmed?
The questions kept piling up! Damn it—she had underestimated Fi Ren too much! She had focused all her attention on Ling Li and neglected asking Pabi for more information about Fi Ren!
“Master, shall I test out her abilities?”
At this moment, Judgment seemed to see Bai Yu’s concerns and kindly leaned in, “I can also unleash an attack like Miss Ling Li just did, let me—”
“Whoosh!”
Just then, the seemingly lifeless Ling Li on the ground suddenly lifted her face and opened her mouth, spraying an ice spike towards Fi Ren!
“She’s not dead…”
Seeing this, Judgment realized that Ling Li had faked her death… waiting for Fi Ren to show a vulnerability to attack. However, this time Fi Ren drew a thrusting sword and precisely threw it at one of the wolf heads in the air!
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Both sisters were hit, but Fi Ren was unaffected by the ice spike to her stomach! At the moment the wolf head in the air was pierced, Ling Li’s expression changed… as if she had experienced some kind of pain!
“I sensed it… Sister has two magic cores, and one of them is hidden inside one of the wolf heads in the air.”
Opening her snake-like eyes, Fi Ren seemed to be able to sense the distribution of Ling Li’s magic cores! She stared at Ling Li’s chest and softly said, “So now… Sister, your magic core must be all inside your body, and you won’t be able to transfer it out again!”
When Ling Li used the Magic Tyrant Nine Heavens Flying Wolf Technique, she had taken the opportunity to transfer one of her magic cores out. This was something she learned from Bai Yu… just like Bai Yu, who never put both magic cores in his body when fighting, but instead found opportunities to split one out during combat!
This was also one of the new abilities developed from Ling Li’s manipulation of Bai Yu’s clone tactics. The magic core outside her body could still supply energy to Ling Li, but it couldn’t leave her body beyond fifty meters. If she hadn’t split out one magic core just now, Fi Ren would have already killed her.
