Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

"Daring indeed."

The voice seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, as the girl slightly raised her finger, gently flicking it forward.

No one could see clearly what happened in that instant.

But right after the girl's subtle action, a huge black magic power sphere suddenly appeared in front of Feather, striking its body with an incredibly strong repulsive force instantly. The energy from the explosion directly deprived Cornflower and Mo He of their vision, and the intense cutting hum pierced through the silence brought by the Remnant Beasts' ability, clear even in a nearly soundless realm.

Emerald Sparrow could not determine what exactly this technique was, but she had her guesses.

Without a doubt, it must be a technique classified as a "Forbidden Technique".

Moreover, no one knew that in that brief moment, the green-clad girl had layered several forbidden techniques on top of that Remnant Beast's body.

One strike completely blasted the Remnant Beast out of the gate.

Afterwards, the battle was simply not something Cornflower and the pair could meddle in.

Emerald evidently held back some of her power, so that her battle with the Remnant Beasts did not cause secondary damage to the magical girl remnants on the ground.

After quietly recovering a bit of magic power, the two took advantage of the time secured by Emerald to begin rescuing the remaining comrades who still had life, pulling them out from the ruins and the slime.

But even so, compared to before Feather's arrival, only one in ten of their rescued comrades remained.

Too many, too many familiar faces were destined to never be seen again, existing only in their memories.

Eventually, they found Stonegarlic.

Stonegarlic was in an extremely dire state, severely depleted of magic power and covered in wounds, her legs completely liquefied and vanished, yet she hadn't used magic power for repairs.

"Leader, repair your injuries first…"

Cornflower's words were cut short as she saw Stonegarlic shake her head.

"Cough, cough, it's unfixable."

Stonegarlic said in a hoarse voice, "I've tried, seems it's damaged to the core."

Hearing this news, even though they had anticipated it, Cornflower and Mo He's already saddened expression grew even gloomier.

No one spoke, because they didn't even know what would qualify as comforting.

"Don't look so grim, cough cough, at least I'm not dead."

Stonegarlic pulled the two's thoughts back, pointing to the battlefield in the sky and asking assuredly: "Has the Prime arrived?"

"Yes."

"Cough, cough, that's good, our work wasn't in vain."

She seemed genuinely confident in Emerald's combat ability, and with some relief in her body, Stonegarlic lay completely on the ground: "Wait, against something like Feather, we can only hope for the Prime's prowess."

The later facts proved that Stonegarlic's trust was not unfounded.

At a certain moment, the sky long shrouded in shadows finally revealed a hint of sunshine, and the indistinct feeling sometimes disrupted by sounds was swept away.

The huge monster fell from the sky, but was lifted again by Jade Stone Pillars before hitting the ground.

Emerald descended slowly above the Remnant Beasts.

"Strange techniques…"

She looked at the still struggling Remnant Beast, her expression unhappy: "To break through the defenses with this desecrating means, those guys have been completely overwhelmed by emotions in their already underdeveloped minds? Even to someone as tolerant as me, this is intolerable."

Her fingers trembled slightly, and massive magic power formed a huge independent space, gently descending towards the Remnant Beast. Clearly, she did not plan to eliminate this Remnant Beast here but intended to capture it.

As the Prime of the Research Institute, this approach was normal.

However, at the instant she acted, the air inexplicably felt somewhat heavy.

Cornflower and the others on the ground sensed this odd atmosphere.

"In the sky..." Stonegarlic lying on the ground gazed up at the gradually revealing cloud layers, slightly furrowing her brow.

"In the sky?" Mo He asked, puzzled.

Cornflower also raised her head to look up.

The movement lasted less than half a second before she moved, striving to raise her voice and shouted towards Emerald in the distance:

——"Watch the sky!"

Nearly at the same time, something originally hidden among the clouds began to move.

From the ground, that thing didn't appear particularly large, but if one estimated the distance from the ground, it's easy to find: its size seemed nearly identical to that Remnant Beast on the ground.

And judging by the magical power fluctuation…

Boom!

The previously distant figure rushed toward the ground in an instant.

Clearly such a massive body, yet the speed was so fast that sound couldn't even catch up, another huge monster suddenly flew into battle.

The crowd didn't even have time to calculate what rank of Remnant Beast it was, but based solely on magic power and size, this was likely also a Feather Rank beast.

The second Feather.

——"I noticed long ago."

And Emerald said this.

Appearing with the descent of the gigantic beast, there were several Jade Stone Pillars seemingly buried in the ground all along, firmly blocking the rapid strike.

Bang, squeal——

Sharp and piercing collision sounds, explosions, and breaking sounds filled Cornflower's ears.

But this was still not the end, because with Feather descending from the sky, the Feather that had fallen into a disadvantage under Emerald's suppression took the chance to shake off part of the control, suddenly raising its head, opening its giant maw, and spewed out a pitch-black mana cannon at Emerald.

"Roar!"

"A truly futile struggle."

Emerald simply moved her fingers calmly again, and the space technique over the Remnant Beast additionally opened a door, absorbing all of the Remnant Beast's attacks.

Even in a seemingly critical situation, facing two Feathers, Emerald still showed unruffled composure.

However, in a place unnoticed by everyone, at the city gates of the West District, a small figure unexpectedly appeared.

The aggressive magical power fluctuations of the two Feathers kept anyone from noticing a small figure's presence, even Emerald noticed the figure only after dealing with the attack from the Remnant Beast on the ground.

This was a momentary mistake.

And Emerald, as the Gemstone Scepter, had countless ways to rectify a momentary mistake, after all, a small mistake was not enough to bridge the gap in power.

However, this thinking was destined to face the most brutal lesson today.

Stonegarlic lying on the ground, for the first time showed a shocked and even somewhat terrified expression.

Mo He, who had felt a bit at ease due to Emerald's formidable strength, covered her mouth.

Cornflower felt as if something suddenly clenched her heart.

Black line.

In their vision, they saw a black line.

Or rather, it was not actually a line but a magic power beam extending from that distant small figure's hand.

Countless dark runes swirled on this magic power beam, no one could immediately interpret the potential effects of these runes, but now, these runes no longer needed decoding.

Its role was vividly displayed in front of everyone.

——In a way that pierced through the body of the Gemstone Scepter.
