My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Lin Guang focused all his attention on the battle unfolding between the two magical girls and that monster, his mind racing through calculations.

There was no denying they were stronger than he was at the moment, even ignoring the fact that they could fly.

Although he couldn't sense magic fluctuations, he could still detect their basic movement level and momentum.

Every movement of that bird-dragon felt far more dangerous to him than the maid puppet had been. On the ground it could probably cause immense destruction, yet it was steadily being driven back by the two magical girls working together.

But the clash was dazzling to watch. It wasn't the same concept as those huge monster battles Lin Guang had seen in his past life—after all, limited filming techniques and suit-actor mobility meant giant monsters were often clumsy, synonymous with slow battle rhythm.

Now, it was completely different.

This is a Nightmare Seed?

Indeed powerful.

And based on what Amber had just said, this one had already been suppressed down into the dangerous species tier; if encountered out in the wild, it would probably be terrifyingly strong.

Woooooo——!!

That shrill, piercing deep-red alarm sounded again.

“What—what?!”

Before anyone could react, a violent tremor suddenly surged up from beneath their feet.

Rumble—!

The ground was shaking.

Teacups in the reception room rocked violently, tea sloshing across the table; the chandelier overhead swayed dangerously, emitting a teeth-grinding creak.

The Phoenix snorted, its golden eyes glowing faintly.

The next moment, the building's shaking stopped as if cut off, and every crack that had appeared seemed to mend in reverse, as if something had forcibly calmed it.

“The epicenter is somewhere nearby.”

Airwen immediately looked down, her black eyes scanning everyone's feet as she said in a grave voice, “Something is rising up from deep underground!”

They did not need her to say it; everyone looked down at the same time, even Lin Guang felt it.

In that special sense unique to those with magic, he could clearly feel a massive, frenzied magic power rapidly approaching.

Location…

Directly beneath them!

Amber's expression changed drastically, her fingers flying across her phone, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

This time, she truly had gone pale.

“The…second Nightmare Seed!!”

The naval battle footage that had occupied the entire screen instantly shrank to the upper-left corner.

A new surveillance feed was enlarged to the center of the screen.

It was the bustling central district of Kazenari Town, less than a kilometer away!

The camera angle looked like a drone shot; the image trembled violently as if suffering strong interference from a nearby source. Coupled with visible ground shaking, the whole scene looked chaotic.

The Phoenix's expression turned completely serious. “This Nightmare Seed avoided my sensing range, came from extreme depths beneath the ground, then rose rapidly in the city center. It's not that I—”

“There's no point in saying that now,” Airwen cut the Phoenix off. “How much longer until it reaches the surface?”

The Phoenix realized something and exchanged a look with Airwen, then said solemnly:

“This thing's burrowing speed is absurd!”

“Three minutes! If I mobilize the Sacred Tree's power, I can at most buy three minutes for evacuation, and I can also limit where that thing emerges!”

“Reinforcements will arrive soon!”

Airwen inhaled deeply and sprang to her feet.

“Amber, immediately issue a Level One evacuation alert.”

“Notify all civilians in the central business district and the three surrounding blocks to abandon belongings and evacuate at once! Quick!”

“Y-Yes!”

Amber snapped out of it and her fingers raced on her phone.

Within seconds, the shrill alarm messages spread to every building in the specified area.

—Three minutes to evacuate?

Su Fang widened her eyes, her expression relaxing a little. The city often ran evacuation drills to prepare for monster invasions, so in theory there should be enough time for those reinforcements to...

But before she could finish that thought, the silver-haired girl in the suit moved without hesitation; she picked up the sword beside her and was about to leave.

As she turned, Airwen's black eyes glanced at her. “Su Fang, you stay here.”

“Huh?!”

“You just awakened yesterday. Although your innate magic rank is high, you haven't had time to build combat experience.”

“So you stay here, and you are not to go anywhere.”

Su Fang reflexively protested, “Senior Airwen! What about you?!”

Airwen opened her mouth to respond.

But at that moment, the sweet yet plain voice cut in first.

“Because three minutes won’t be enough.”

Hum—

Under the gaze of the three girls and the Phoenix, they suddenly realized Su Fang's cherry-haired companion had also stood up.

A scorching magic wave rose with an accompanying heatwave, spreading unabashedly through everyone's senses.

“Hey! What are you doing!”

The Phoenix widened its eyes at the sudden heatwave, “Didn't I already say you can't control your magic—”

Amber's eyes grew wide. “Miss Mengmengxiang!”

Su Fang froze slightly, then realized what topic had been interrupted by the intrusion earlier.

Senior Mengmengxiang's soul was on the verge of shattering... which was why the Phoenix had suggested she retire...

In that instant the girl suddenly understood.

No wonder the red Soul Gem on her chest looked murky and cracked...

Even Airwen, in this critical moment, stared at Lin Guang for a full five seconds before speaking.

“I never said I intended to kill it by myself, only to hold it off a little until reinforcements arrive.”

“Not enough.”

Yet at this moment, there was no fear or hesitation on the cherry-haired girl's sweet face; not even an extra expression—she simply stated calmly, “There will be casualties.”

Airwen's black eyes met the crimson ones.

Lin Guang just watched quietly.

She was not speaking alarmingly for effect.

After all, this was the city center, a place with extremely high population density. Three minutes might be enough to evacuate orderly from high-rise buildings, but people couldn't get far in that time.

This monster was also a Nightmare Seed, the same class as the one that had appeared at sea.

A casual blast of magic, like a luminous cannon, would have aftershocks powerful enough to destroy nearby small buildings.

“Moreover, even if you're only buying time, you might not be safe.”

When those words left his mouth, Airwen's eyes flashed with an indescribable astonishment.

—This person wants to protect me?

Seriously?

Huu—

Inh—

Lin Guang breathed long and slow, feeling the magic in the air flood into his body, merging with the magic already within him, becoming hot.

Bang!

The next moment, the reception room's windows shattered instantly.
