My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?
Chapter 11: Memorization is a Must-Have for Top-Tier PlayersThis meant that the magic power upheaval caused by forcibly extending the transformation process was being suppressed and delayed by Lin Guang as much as possible, to maximize her combat effectiveness.
The apprentice maid was decapitated the moment it poked its head out, and the remaining two turned to sawdust within five seconds, at the mere cost of a few scraped bruises.
Then came the third wave, the fourth wave...
Fists and kicks cut through the air, blazing trails of light illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Nearly twenty puppet corpses lay scattered in a full circle around her, wood chips and limbs strewn everywhere, yet aside from a few scratches on her arm, Lin Guang had no other injuries.
She felt the increasingly frenzied magic power within her, once again on the verge of breaking through its critical threshold, adjusted her breathing, and turned her gaze toward the deeper darkness.
Come to think of it, how many enemies were still left around here? Could this place be the nest of these puppets, driven by some unknown force?
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Heavy footsteps sounded.
The fifth wave of enemies tore through the black mist.Besides two seemingly standard-issue maid puppets, a massive black silhouette appeared in the middle—a carpenter puppet clad in greasy work overalls. In its left hand, it gripped a handsaw with jagged teeth, and in its right, it dragged a huge cast-iron sledgehammer.
Though it looked like a carpenter, its aura was more like a butcher.
Sensing the magic power about to boil over within her, a look of seriousness appeared in Lin Guang's beautiful eyes.
—In the ninth run, she had died at the hands of these three, without even getting a chance to attempt a complete transformation (self-destruct).
The strategy had long been decided during the post-mortem analysis: take out the two familiar maid puppets first, then focus on dealing with this one!
This time, Lin Guang didn't even spare a glance at the lumbering carpenter.
Her figure swayed slightly, using her petite frame to slip straight through the carpenter's sluggish swing, targeting the two accompanying maid puppets.
Her red-and-white skirt bloomed in the air like a flower, the girl like a crimson butterfly dancing among blades.
First maid—elbow strike, heart shattered.
Second maid—side kick, head exploded.
Distractions eliminated.
Only the carpenter puppet remained on the field, dragging its sledgehammer and just turning around. Its black button-like eyes shifted, raising the handsaw in its left hand, as if only now realizing its teammates were all wiped out.
"Next up..."
Lin Guang took a deep breath, her toes pressing off the ground as her figure glided gracefully.
First punch—a light strike to the chest, yet unleashing immense force.
"Clang!"
Extremely high hardness; the shock traveled back up her arm, but Lin Guang was prepared this time. She struck and moved, her slender, beautiful body sidestepping by a hair's breadth to avoid the fatal sledgehammer.
Whoosh—
The heavy wind pressure brushed past her cheek, the gust blowing her cherry-red hair, the girl narrowly avoiding the blow that could have knocked her unconscious.
But this time, she didn't retreat.
The moment the sledgehammer crashed into the ground, its old power spent and new power not yet born, the girl's figure closed in like a ghost.
Second punch—she leaped high, a rising uppercut slamming into its jaw.
"Thud!"
The sound had changed!
A crack had appeared in that previously impenetrable texture.
Third strike.
Fourth strike.
The girl became a white blur, circling the lumbering carpenter and unleashing a relentless barrage.
Her attack frequency was astonishingly fast, each punch precisely landing in the gaps of the carpenter's swings, as if dancing on the edge of a blade.
The holy light enveloping her body began to glow red.
The saw swung horizontally, letting out a shrieking howl like a vengeful spirit.
Lin Guang ducked under it, then snapped a whip kick radiating searing heat into its leg.
Fifth strike.
The sledgehammer slammed into the ground, sending clods of earth flying with a roar.
Lin Guang dodged, then smashed a heavy punch into its lower back.
The carpenter puppet's previously unbreakable work overall shell began to show spiderweb-like cracks, its movements visibly stuttering, like a rusted gear about to shatter.
Just as it raised its iron hammer again, attempting another strike—
The blazing fire in the girl's eyes flared, seizing the opening within it.
"It's over."
Holy light gathered on her right fist. Instead of retreating, she advanced, driving an inch punch directly into the center of the crack on its body.
Seventh strike!
Crack—
Bang!
No clang of metal.
The steel carpenter that had left her helpless last time, in that instant, crumbled like a toppled tower of blocks, exploding from the inside out into a storm of rotten wood and scattered parts.
Crash.
Countless fragments rained down like a downpour.
Lin Guang stood in the middle of the wreckage, shaking her slightly reddened fist, staring into the empty black mist ahead as she let out a light sigh.
But... it wasn't over yet.
From deeper in the darkness came an even denser sound of footsteps.
However, at this moment, due to the exertion and emotional surge from the fight, the transformation's critical threshold had silently been breached.
Blazing fire began to brew in her chest, bringing with it a pain beyond the limit.
This meant she had at most one more life-risking fight before her journey would stop here once again.
Yet the girl only revealed a relieved smile. "Ha... gonna die again."
"Well then..."
(<ゝω·)~☆
Boom!!!
...
[Twelfth Descent]
[Fourteenth Descent]
[...]
[Eighteenth Descent]
The black forest spread out before her eyes once again.
The first seven waves of enemies held no secrets left.
Though everything was one hundred percent real, indistinguishable from reality, for Lin Guang, who possessed the [Precision Operation Engine], as long as her memorization was proficient enough, pure combat was just a rhythm game.
The girl's confident smile seemed capable of illuminating the darkness.
"Full marks on the smile, one hundred percent courage!"
First wave—three seconds.
Second wave—seven seconds.
...
Fifth wave—smashed the carpenter core—twelve seconds.
...
The girl's holy light-covered body danced through the enemy horde with elegant and stylish movements, each step of her footwork carrying a certain artistic rhythm unique to top-tier players.
The last puppet of the seventh wave fell.
Finally, the enemies of the eighth wave emerged from the black mist.
She was already quite familiar with this lineup.
Besides the two familiar maid-type enemies, there were three furry balls with eyes bouncing on the ground, and an armored stone statue wielding a stone broadsword.
Six enemies!
Lin Guang said nothing. She stamped her foot and launched forward.
The three sphere-like creatures, suspected to be "fur balls," tried to attack, but Lin Guang didn't even glance at them.
In her calculations, the flight paths of these spheres were already ingrained in her mind.
The girl sidestepped, smoothly gliding, then a red light flashed.
A few strands of fluff brushed past her cherry-red hair as Lin Guang flickered, arriving beside the "apprentice maid" holding a broom.
However, just as Lin Guang ignored the stone statue wielding the broadsword and was about to smash her fist into the maid puppet's head—
Whoosh!
A black ripple spread outward.
An extremely nauseating sense of dissonance exploded from within the girl's body. The magic power, which had been relatively docile within its time limit, instantly became disordered, causing a momentary freeze in her movements.
This was an ability Lin Guang called [Taunt].
If she didn't prioritize attacking the soldier statue, her magic power flow would be obstructed, making movement more difficult.
Though not absolute, and she could force through it with willpower, doing so would likely disturb the already difficult-to-manipulate magic power, bringing the critical point of losing control even sooner.
Starting from the eighth wave, it wasn't just physical attacks; these enemies had begun to wield supernatural powers as well!
Faced with this disgusting mechanic she had already experienced, Lin Guang didn't even raise an eyebrow.
It was exactly as expected.
She didn't try to forcibly resist the rule like in the previous two attempts. Instead, she smoothly used the freeze caused by the chaotic magic power to forcefully twist her waist, redirecting the punch originally aimed at the maid toward the stone statue soldier's breastplate using the momentum.
—The reason she had initially locked onto the maid was precisely to force the stone statue to release this taunt ability, preventing it from doing anything else.
After all, during her last run, when she tried to directly attack the stone statue, it seemed intelligent enough not to use the taunt, instead swinging its sword to cut her down, needlessly wasting an opportunity for it to act.
Clang!
The fist struck the stone statue, producing a dull thud.
Lin Guang used the shockwave to spin her entire body like a top. The broadsword sliced past her hair as her whip kick, already accelerated by this spinning force, lashed out again.
A red light exploded. That perfectly timed double whip kick directly obliterated the head of the stone statue soldier, which hadn't even reacted yet.
Slap.
