My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?
Chapter 35: Su Fang's FearThe demon beast behind her had a tail that was thick and long, its powerful lower limbs resembling two towering pillars.
Accompanied by a muffled, thunderous roar, the scene on the screen was like a living hell on earth.
Almost the moment it appeared and steadied itself on the ground, it vented its rage by spewing out a terrifying breath from its mouth.
Black rays spread outward from its gaping maw.
Boom!
A five-story commercial building was hit by the giant beast’s black breath, snapping in half like it was made of paper, countless chunks of concrete and steel bars raining down like a storm.
In the Association, Su Fang stood frozen in place.
It was just a projection. She had seen similar-sized demon beasts on TV before. But at this moment, the Nightmare Seed felt so real in her eyes, as if it were right in front of her—she could even clearly perceive the texture on its stone armor and the destructive power of that breath.
So... terrifying!!
This was the kind of monster that Airwen and Mengmengxiang had casually talked about going to fight just now?The images on TV could never convey even one percent of the real scene!
She felt her body trembling.
And the Phoenix still hadn't let Su Fang off the hook, its gaze deep. “This is a Nightmare Seed. Any attack from a creature of that size, even without magic power attached, is a complete natural disaster. Even a magical girl with magic power protecting her body absolutely couldn't withstand a direct hit.”
“...”
The puppets she had encountered yesterday were, at most, about the size of a human.
But this thing in front of her... it was practically a moving mountain.
That stark difference in scale, like clouds versus mud, filled Su Fang with deep self-doubt.
In the future... am I going to have to fight monsters like this?
I’ll die, won’t I?
If I got hit by one of those claws, I’d definitely be turned into a bloody pulp, right?
Her biological instincts screamed “danger” in a frenzied panic.
Su Fang’s shoulders trembled uncontrollably, her breathing rapid.
But then, the next moment.
Su Fang’s eyes shot wide open.
A vivid red figure suddenly leaped up, like a streak of light.
Thud!
The girl’s right foot slammed hard into the beast’s lower jaw.
Yet, this full-power strike only managed to tilt its head slightly—nothing more. It didn’t cause any injury.
The giant beast’s cold gaze locked onto her, and its front claw lifted, swinging out at lightning speed.
Clang!
Under Su Fang’s intensely anxious gaze, the red figure twisted past the claw strike, which was bigger than a person, in an incredibly elegant posture, like a dance move, by a hair’s breadth.
Even a few centimeters off, and she would have been torn to shreds.
It was about to pursue when it suddenly turned and lashed out with its long tail.
The tip of the tail broke the sound barrier in an instant, unleashing a terrifying shockwave and sonic boom through the air.
The next moment, the massive tail clashed against an ethereal silver sword-light in the sky, producing a brilliant flash.
Clang!
As the dust cleared, only a tiny scratch appeared on its carapace.
The two sides faced off briefly.
Then—
In an instant, a fierce battle erupted!
The silver magical girl turned into a high-speed blur, raising her phantom sword to slash out one blade-light after another, while the red figure, with masterful precision in positioning, harassed the enemy up close over and over again.
It seemed like the situation was stabilizing.
But in the eyes of the few present, this was undoubtedly walking a tightrope, threatening to collapse at any moment.
Su Fang finally broke free from the monster’s oppressive influence and couldn’t help but ask, “How much longer until support arrives?”
Amber responded quickly. “The three seniors can reach the battlefield in at most five minutes.”
“But this thing... is even stronger than the one at sea...”
She spoke with a heavy tone. “Even though Lady Sacred Tree’s barrier suppressed its magical abilities, its terrifying physical strength and life force are still maintained at near-Nightmare Seed level.”
“Still, it’s a good thing Mengmengxiang isn’t trying to cast spells... She must have realized her magic power is completely uncontrollable.”
Su Fang’s pupils sharply contracted.
“What exactly happened to Senior Mengmengxiang? What does it mean that her soul is almost shattered and she’s unfit for transformation...”
The Phoenix suddenly turned its head, sounding a bit impatient. “You can’t understand even the literal meaning?”
“Don’t be fooled by the fact that she has no visible injuries. When she was investigating in the Outer Realm, her soul suffered extremely severe damage. She even lost all her memories. Theoretically, she’s practically a dead person.”
“The fact that she managed to come back alive, can still talk and eat, and even came bouncing along with you here is already an incredible miracle.”
“Just transforming alone is like dancing on a tightrope for her—one slight misstep and she could fall into utter ruin. Heaven knows how she even pulled it off.”
“Even if the transformation succeeds, with her current state, her magic power is extremely prone to going out of control, just like you saw yesterday.”
As it spoke, a trace of uncontrollable confusion flickered in the Phoenix’s eyes. “But... she doesn’t remember anything, right?”
“Airwen told me yesterday that she only remembers transforming and fighting. She doesn’t even recognize us anymore, and she even showed hostility toward her and you. So why would she willingly...”
It was a very simple principle.
When a person’s memory has deteriorated to this extent, with no knowledge of everyday life, only retaining combat ability, language skills, and the capacity to think—
Then, theoretically, she shouldn’t have any sense of belonging to Kazenari Town, nor any moral or sense of duty.
“...”
Su Fang was stunned, her emerald eyes trembling again.
An intuitive feeling suddenly made her understand something.
Senior Mengmengxiang... wasn’t fighting for any other reason.
—Magical girls help each other, step up when others are in trouble, never abandon anyone, and always carry love and hope in their hearts.
She was just following that statement.
This was the definition of a magical girl that Su Fang had personally said to Senior Mengmengxiang last night before bed.
It was her lifelong admiration and understanding.
But Su Fang had never imagined that her casual words would occupy such a place in the heart of her senior, who was like a blank slate.
“—That’s what a magical girl is.”
Before saying these words, Su Fang had never realized Senior Mengmengxiang’s condition was this dire, nor had she imagined that magical girls had to face such enemies.
Just this morning, when she left the house, her mind was full of “Once the Association registration is done, it’ll be a fun weekend with the seniors.”
Su Fang had even planned the route in her head: first take Senior Mengmengxiang to that famous dessert shop for pancakes, then head to the shopping street to buy her a few nice outfits—after all, Mengmengxiang was so beautiful, it would be a waste for her to only wear Su Fang’s old clothes.
This should have been a girl’s ordinary daily life.
Death was a completely foreign word to her in the past.
But now, that word was no longer an abstract concept, but a very real possibility hanging over the person right in front of her.
It was the end that crushed all the unfulfilled plans for shopping, good food, and laughter.
Facing a monster like that was terrifying.
But watching the person in front of you die was far more terrifying than facing any monster.
Su Fang bit her lip hard, took a deep breath, and though her body was still trembling, she reached up and touched the Soul Gem on her chest.
