Chapter 70 A Sympathetic Connection
Chapter 70 A Sympathetic Connection
Noah was the first to arrive at the scene.
As a senior among magical girls, her speed in flying over at full speed was naturally much faster than that of her juniors.
What's wreaking havoc on the road is a bizarrely shaped giant insect—it looks like a giant version of a locust.
Most of the passersby have already fled. So, let's just let this monstrous beast be quiet for now—
Noah casually swung her right hand forward—
"Silk Thread Binding Technique"
In an instant, it seemed as if countless invisible spindles were spinning rapidly in the air, and thousands upon thousands of extremely condensed white magic threads appeared out of thin air, binding the monstrous beast that was about to unleash its fury from all directions.
"hiss?!"
The calamity beast let out a startled, mournful cry. Before it could even comprehend what was happening, its entire body was bound tightly. No matter how much it struggled, the seemingly fragile threads remained motionless, instead tightening further and further, completely imprisoning its massive form.
Immediately afterwards, four more rainbows of different colors arrived one after another and landed on the roof of the department store not far away.
Four new magical girls also arrived.
Noah's purpose was clear: this was a real-world exercise, and of course, she wanted to give these younger generations some practice.
However, the Civil Defense Bureau would certainly be unhappy with this behavior of using the Disaster Beasts as training material when they knew that they had the ability to deal with them immediately.
Although such behavior wouldn't cause any casualties after the crowd had been evacuated, the financial losses from the fighting among the novice magical girls would certainly be substantial. Therefore, the Civil Defense Bureau definitely wanted the higher-ranking magical girls to deal with the disaster beasts as soon as possible, rather than letting the novice magical girls fight again.
"The surrounding civilians have mostly been evacuated. Now, let's see what your combat skills are like—"
Noah snapped her fingers, and the magical threads binding the calamity beast quietly dissipated.
"Hiss! Aaaaaahh ...
The beast, now free, let out a deafening roar and immediately tried to rush toward Noah.
"Your opponent is me!" Dawn swooped down from the rooftop, launching the first attack. Orange-yellow magic condensed at the tip of her wand, transforming into several rapidly spinning magic projectiles. Close behind, Yotsuba also flew down from the rooftop, launching an attack from the flank. Her turquoise magic projectiles traced elegant arcs, flying towards the calamity beast from the other side.
The locust-like monster suddenly leaped up, dodging the magic bullets flying from two directions. The attacks eventually struck the outer wall of a nearby building, creating two large craters.
"Huh? She's so fast!" Zhaoxia exclaimed in surprise.
Indeed, as a level 11-13 calamity beast, its speed is a bit too fast. Noah thought to herself, but such a speed-type calamity beast must also lack defense and strength.
In other words, as long as you can restrict its movement and successfully hit it, even a normal attack will be enough to cause serious injury.
Lingbo seemed to have grasped this as well; she waved her wand, intending to use that move as well—
"Silk Thread Binding Technique"!
Compared to Noah's instant cast, Lingbo's spellcasting process was noticeably slower. Several seconds later, dozens of white threads barely took shape and began to coil around the calamity beast.
Such speed was easily evaded by the calamity beast.
—No, conventional tactics are ineffective. Is there any way to restrict its movement?
Lingbo's gaze met the distant shore for a fleeting moment.
Wait a minute, if we use that method—
"The other shore, take me and it further apart!"
After uttering those words, Rei's magic re-gathered at the tip of her wand—
"High-intensity light interference technique!"
A beam of light shot straight ahead, accurately targeting the calamity beast's massive compound eye.
"—Hiss! Aa ...
This deprivation of vision, so unbearable for any creature, completely enraged the monstrous beast. Abandoning all other targets, it let out an angry roar, its thin wings suddenly unfurling, whipping up a gale as it charged straight towards Lingbo.
coming!
Bi'an rushed ahead, grabbed Lingbo in a princess carry, and then flew away from the city center without looking back.
The monstrous beast pursued relentlessly from behind, its eyes fixed intently on its target ahead.
This is a very dangerous stance.
If the monster launches any ranged attacks, the creature flying forward cannot see what's behind it, making it impossible to dodge attacks from behind.
And then, coincidentally, this calamity beast actually did have a ranged attack capability—
A sharp spike shot out from its giant scythe-like forelegs and flew straight toward the other side!
However, the other side seemed to have anticipated this, and quickly dodged to the side, precisely avoiding the attack.
While Lingbo was in Bi'an's arms, she had already activated "Wide Area Perception Technique." Naturally, all the attacks from behind were detected and relayed to Bi'an.
The calamity beast continued firing several spikes, all of which were perfectly dodged by the other side. As the flight time increased, the distance between them also grew ever greater—
"The distance is enough!" Lingbo opened her eyes and sensed that the distance between them had reached a certain "critical value".
The other side instantly understood, made a sudden stop in mid-air, and then hovered steadily in the air.
Lingbo leaped out of her arms, her hands outstretched, and a magical power far greater than ever before began to gather and compress between her palms.
Bring this on! — "Super Powerful Magic Penetrating Cannon"!!!
That's right, this "critical value" is the distance that even if you stand still and charge up for 5 seconds, the monster at full speed cannot rush you!
The calamity beast, charging at full speed from afar, had clearly sensed this unusual fluctuation of magical energy. However, in its rage, it completely disregarded everything and charged towards Lingbo—
"--emission!"
After a five-second charge, a pure white beam of light, seemingly capable of splitting the sky in two, surged toward the calamity beast with unstoppable force.
Given the beast's agility, it could certainly dodge it. However, since it has been charging forward at full speed, stopping abruptly or turning at this moment would be extremely difficult.
"—Hiss?!"
—But it’s not impossible.
The calamity beast immediately twisted its body rapidly in a strange posture, and the white piercing cannon just grazed past it.
It dodged it.
Just then, another, much thinner but still deadly, dark red beam of light pierced through the body of the calamity beast from another angle.
This is the real killer move.
In an attempt to dodge Lingbo's attack, the hastily dodging beast lost its balance and could no longer avoid another beam of light fired from the other side.
