My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?
Chapter 14: Fight to the Last Breath, Fall by Her Own Hand"Su Fang, well done."
The silver-haired girl walked up to her, a face full of appreciative smiles. "You're the most talented magical girl I've seen in all these years."
"Huh?"
Su Fang was stunned for a moment, then embarrassedly scratched her cheek, a blush spreading across her fair skin. "Senior Airwen, you're really exaggerating too much... I was just lucky enough to take down three monsters, I can't compare to you at all."
"That's not an exaggeration at all."
The girl called Airwen retracted her smile, her pitch-black eyes fixed seriously on Su Fang. "For ordinary people to transform into magical girls, they often need to experience immense emotional trauma, or erupt with incredibly strong will at the critical moment of life and death."
"But you, Su Fang, were able to cross that threshold so calmly and naturally."
Airwen paused, her tone growing heavier: "Just a moment ago, you were an ordinary girl going to school, living a mundane daily life. On your first transformation, without any guidance, you calmly killed three Claw-type monsters. That's enough to prove your talent as a magical girl."
"Most importantly—"
Airwen looked up at the surging black mist around them, her eyes full of emotion:"Your very appearance in this Misty Forest is the best proof. You are this generation's 'Prophecy Maiden.'"
"In other words, you are the one with the most hope of leading us to snatch back the fragments of hope from the Abyss and purify the polluted Sacred Tree."
"You might be the one to save the world."
Su Fang was dumbfounded, her face flushed bright red. "P-Prophecy Maiden? Save the world?"
Her small hands quickly waved in front of her chest in panic. "No way, no way! How could someone like me ever bear such a huge responsibility! I'm just an ordinary middle school student..."
Airwen shook her head:
"It's already happened. This isn't something you can just refuse because you don't want it."
"The Abyss fears you. While you were still unawakened, it hypnotized you and lured you here to eliminate you in advance."
"Of course, the Sacred Tree sensed this too, which is why it guided me to cross the barrier and come to rescue you."
Su Fang clearly couldn't accept it immediately: "This..."
Airwen watched her flustered state, simply raised her hand to pat her head, didn't argue further, her gaze deepening slightly: "Time will make you understand everything."
Boom!!!
Just then, a dull explosion suddenly echoed from deep within the forest.
The intense vibration even transmitted to the ground beneath their feet, and a faint reddish firelight could be seen piercing through layers of black mist, tingeing half the sky with a slight red glow.
Following that, an impassioned musical tune could be vaguely heard.
"That is..."
Su Fang looked in that direction in surprise. "What's happening over there?"
Airwen furrowed her brow slightly as well, resting her chin on one hand, a contemplative look in her eyes: "The Misty Forest doesn't have dangerous magical beasts that use flames. That kind of commotion... it's very likely another magical girl fighting."
"Another magical girl?" Su Fang's eyes lit up. "Could it be someone you know?"
"Hard to say."
Airwen shook her head, extending a slender finger to lightly touch her lips: "Red-type magical girls are quite common in our system, so I'm not sure if it's an acquaintance."
"What's a red-type?" Su Fang asked like a curious child.
"That's the overall main color tone after a magical girl transforms, usually representing the nature of her power."
Airwen patiently explained: "Judging by the commotion over there, it should be a red-type magical girl. The characteristic of this type is usually controlling flames, or possessing powerful instant burst strength. As for you, Su Fang, that blue outfit you had just now represents water attributes and exceptional agility..."
Before she finished, firelight and collision sounds surged skyward once more, the music growing increasingly impassioned.
"Ah!"
Su Fang immediately turned serious. "Tell me all this knowledge later! With such a big commotion over there, she might need help!"
Airwen was slightly taken aback, said nothing, and just nodded.
The two immediately moved quickly along the direction where the firelight flickered.
Soon, a chaotic battlefield came into view.
Su Fang's eyes swept over a maid puppet that had long since fallen apart. Looking at its broken wooden joints, a flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She spoke as she ran: "These wounds... there's no trace of any blade cutting. It looks like it was smashed purely by brute force, with bare hands."
"Senior Airwen, am I right in my observation?"
Airwen was slightly ahead of her by a pace. Hearing this, she nodded: "Indeed, it's destruction caused by bare hands."
The two continued deeper, and the more Su Fang walked, the more alarmed she became.
All along the path were broken limbs and severed arms, even many types of monsters she had never seen before.
"Is that... a soldier made of stone?"
Su Fang looked at a stone statue by the roadside with its upper body shattered, unable to help but gasp: "Even a monster that looks this tough in defense was taken down, and it seems it was a single fatal blow. The person fighting up ahead must be a very powerful magical girl!"
Boom!
The explosion sounds and firelight from ahead grew even more intense, and the air was filled with a scorching heat and a nauseating burnt smell.
But then...
The sounds suddenly stopped.
The music ceased, the rumbling halted, everything came to an abrupt end as if cut off.
For some reason, an indescribable anxiety welled up in Su Fang's heart.
She couldn't help quickening her pace, following Airwen as they charged toward the center of the battlefield.
"It's just ahead!"
Finally, pushing through the last layer of black mist, the two's field of vision opened up.
In the center of the devastated clearing, they saw two figures.
One stood in the middle of the scorched and disfigured battlefield, while the other knelt on the ground.
The one standing wore a crimson spirit outfit, propping herself up with a massive staff, her back to Su Fang and the others, her posture tall and straight like a pine.
The fallen puppet could no longer be recognized in its original form.
Airwen's somewhat strange voice sounded in Su Fang's ear: "That is a lower-ranked dangerous species, the 'Maid Head.'"
"Within this Misty Forest, its danger level is second only to those few monsters..."
"A dangerous species?!"
Su Fang's eyes widened uncontrollably.
Just moments ago, the three puppets she had barely killed with great danger were only the lowest-tier Claw-type monsters!
Most of the remains she'd seen along the way were also lower-tier Claw-types, with only a handful being upper-tier Claw-types.
This Maid puppet that had reached the dangerous species category was actually defeated alone by this magical girl... and that was after she had consecutively killed dozens of lower-tier monsters?!
So amazing!! She must be an incredibly powerful senior!
Su Fang's heart blossomed with joy. She tidied her bangs that had been messed up by the wind, ready to step forward and greet her, a friendly smile on her face.
But just then.
The gorgeous spirit outfit on the crimson-haired girl suddenly flickered, countless red specks of light peeling away and dissipating from her body like fireflies.
In the blink of an eye, she returned to her ordinary appearance, wearing a blood-stained white shirt and black hot pants.
Without the suppression of the spirit outfit, those shocking blood holes were once again exposed to the air. Blood gushed out like a burst dam, completely dyeing the white shirt red.
"...Senior!!"
Su Fang's pupils contracted. "You need treatment!"
But the other party didn't respond.
An inexplicable unease surged in her heart. Su Fang cautiously stepped forward, a hint of tremor creeping into her voice: "Senior?"
She circled around to the front of the figure, and her words abruptly stopped.
The cherry-haired girl's eyes were still open, her face pale as paper, yet the corners of her mouth still hung with that trace of a satisfied smile. But there was no longer any light in her eyes.
Life had completely drained from this body.
Yet, even after losing her life, she did not fall. She stood tall and straight here, like a banner.
"...What... no..."
The next instant, Su Fang's shrill voice exploded across the entire forest: "No!!!"
If only she had transformed and rushed over, would she have been in time to help the senior... and she wouldn't have died in battle?!
Was it all her fault...
Amidst this crying, Airwen, standing behind, slowly approached and came to Su Fang's side.
But at this moment, as she looked at the corpse standing unbowed, there was no surprise or pity in her pitch-black eyes, as if she had seen far too many similar things.
Airwen simply lowered her head, a faint sadness and weariness showing in her eyes.
