My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?
Chapter 10: Transforming Is Almost as Hard as BreathingLin Guang’s lips curled up slightly as she steered her emotions and the lines she spoke, transforming in an instant, amid the surge of magical power, into a radiant silhouette shrouded in blazing holy light.
This time, her body remained in a state suffused with holy light, the magic absorbed within bringing a fullness and scorching, swelling sensation.
However…
Lin Guang noticed that the chaotic, rushing sensation from the burning power inside her had lessened considerably.
Plus, with the experience from last time, the magic seemed vaguely subject to her will’s restraint. At the very least, it felt a good thirty percent better than the previous attempt!
Just before the instinct to complete the transformation fully could overwhelm her reason, Lin Guang forcefully cut off the transformation incantation, locking the rampaging energy within her body.
Her graceful dance instantly shifted into a crisp, standing posture. The girl shrouded in holy light sharpened her gaze, poised and ready.
Then…
She turned into a blur, charging straight at the two puppets rushing toward her!
This time, Lin Guang hadn’t just clicked “yes” and recklessly charged in.She’d thought long and hard, using her two previous experiences to form countless guesses and plans. Then she’d honestly slept, eaten a meal, activated herself with daily exercise, and ensured her mental state was at its peak before choosing to start the mission again.
On her third chance, she neither opted to blindly explore the map nor chose to see what she could truly do without using any magic at all.
Even with infinite opportunities to make mistakes, there was still a hierarchy of urgency among them.
After all, the most important thing for a magical girl was obviously transforming. And every time she transformed just now, she ended up losing control and exploding. Something was definitely wrong in between!
It was highly likely that some critical link was broken, preventing the transformation from completing.
So this time, Lin Guang’s plan was to verify one key hypothesis:
The transformation mechanism of this body!
During the second transformation, when she tried to alter the lines and movements and interfered with the magic, she’d sensed something off.
Didn’t that mean that the lines, movements, and emotions could potentially exert significant influence over the magic and even the transformation process?
Lin Guang certainly hadn’t forgotten that, in all sorts of fictional works, various spellcasting characters—whether the lines or movements they used before unleashing their abilities—were essential tools for guiding the heart and emotions, allowing power to be commanded as effortlessly as an extension of one’s arm.
This could even extend to advanced techniques like altering chants, or even omitting them altogether, symbolizing greater control.
Such matters were also documented in 【Bleach】, 【Naruto】, and various ancient records!
Since she had infinite trial and error, there was no reason this body couldn’t attempt to move in that direction.
After all, the original personality of “Mengmengxiang” might have been soft, sweet, and adorable, but the one piloting this body now was Lin Guang. If she forcefully mimicked those syrupy, embarrassing moves…
Lin Guang could stay perfectly calm even when faced with the magic orb’s disappearance. She could indeed not reject it. But no matter what, her mindset should still have a bit of a gap compared to the original Mengmengxiang.
But if she directly switched to a completely masculine, tough-guy style, the leap would be too big, and the body’s instincts would also resist.
If magic could truly be interfered with in this way, she’d probably blow up even faster instead.
So this time, she chose the revised compromise she’d listed.
Retain the girl’s traits and “cuteness and liveliness,” but trim the overly affected parts, shifting slightly toward a “sharp and capable” style.
The girl’s light, youthful body shimmered with holy light that began turning red as she instantly crossed paths with the charging puppets.
There was no suspense at all. The first wave of two monsters couldn’t even mount any decent counterattack. The butler’s chest was blown open, and the maid’s head was kicked off by one of those beautiful legs executing a high-pressure axe kick.
“The approach is feasible.”
Lin Guang stretched this youthful, beautiful body that was far stronger than her original one, stood still on the spot, and exhaled a fragrant, searing breath.
Hoo—
Huh—
Feeling the burning magic in her chest beginning to boil and go berserk again from cutting the transformation short, sending searing pain through her entire body, the girl curled up the corners of her lips. Following her body’s instincts, she tidied a strand of hair by her ear, and her emotions also came alive, matching the surging magic.
This transformation seemed to allow personalized customization within the “character scope” of this body. And as long as the emotions were genuine enough, partially altering the lines was fine… Actually, it might even be better.
After all, no matter what world’s magical girl you were, the more sincere, the more you faced your true heart, the better!
The sound of footsteps didn’t stop. Three figures rushed out swiftly from the black mist.
Seemingly startled by Lin Guang’s earlier commotion, the second wave came right on their heels.
This time, there were three enemies.
A new butler and maid puppet, plus one holding a broom, with a relatively smaller frame—a maid.
However, Lin Guang didn’t give the new puppet with the long broom any chance to act.
Her figure moved like lightning. Ignoring the swelling pain as the magic inside began to boil, she charged swiftly toward them.
Whoosh!
The holy-light-veiled left hand turned into a blade, cleanly slicing through the trainee maid’s neck.
But at that moment.
The critical point was reached again.
The magic’s balance was broken. Inside her chest, it was as if a flame had condensed and ignited, blazing fiercely, seeming ready to burn through her entire chest cavity.
Yet the searing pain didn’t bring a trace of surprise to the girl’s eyes.
She forcibly swallowed this burning sensation. Using the centrifugal force from her spin, she barely maintained her movements without deforming them. Her right fist smashed straight through the butler’s head.
Pfft.
A rusty kitchen knife plunged into her lower back from behind.
Blood spurted.
But in the next second, that holy-light-covered delicate hand—which looked like it had spent its days playing musical instruments and never done heavy labor—had already pressed down on the maid puppet’s featureless face.
Then it squeezed.
Crack!
The maid wobbled and fell, while the girl wobbled as she stood up, a smile blooming on her face. She spread her arms wide and looked toward the several figures approaching once more from the black mist.
At this moment, those beautiful eyes flickered with an expression of never backing down or fearing, filled instead with hope and joy.
—This game really is interesting, isn’t it.
“Are you ready?!”
(<ゝω·)~☆
A crimson mushroom cloud shot up into the sky.
……
【Tenth Descent】
The stinging pain lasted only an instant before it ended.
The girl didn’t even wait for the black mist to dissipate. She already predicted where the first wave of monsters would appear and rushed out swiftly.
“Smile? Perfect score.”
“Courage? One hundred percent!”
Magic surged. The youthful, vibrant silhouette lit up with red-and-white holy light, flashing past the two puppets in an instant.
They fell silently.
The same happened the moment the second wave appeared. Three puppets were instantly killed in a flash.
The girl chanted, “Let your feelings and your flames burn together!”
If the first transformation had been like being submerged by a surging tide that was impossible to restrain, then this time, it felt like steering a small skiff through that very tide.
Even though the tide was still ferocious and the skiff was teetering on the edge of danger, the helmsman was growing more and more skilled at handling it.
