Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity Chapter 69
Jiang Si emerged from the wall and glanced at the flames blooming in the sky.
Keke's magical power was surprisingly substantial.
Half-Step Blooming, with the magical power level of a Seedling at peak perfection.
Although not yet at the pinnacle, mainly because her magical control precision was insufficient, and currently she didn't have her own Magic Techniques.
Without sublimating her own skills to match her current strength, she was still far from what could be called Seedling peak perfection.
For example, that flame spear just now indeed had power comparable to Blooming, but the method of using magical power was clearly still at the Sprout stage.
The magical transformations weren't rich enough, and the timing of magical bursts was off.
Her combat thinking still lingered at the Sprout period.
She completely lacked the combat methods and magical usage techniques of the Seedling stage; one could say the Disaster Control Bureau's training and education were completely inadequate.
According to Bingtang's analogy, the Disaster Control Bureau was like those robot phones - poor system scheduling, unbalanced components, sometimes relying on brute force to meet requirements.
The Azure Cloud Sect's Magical Girls were like the standard fruit phone she used daily - good scheduling, balanced components, fast system response, just not cold-resistant and prone to automatic shutdown.
Speaking of which, Winter's magical power scheduling assessment, which involved enduring her frost, and the precise magical control assessment for regulating Yumo's wild winds, would both be suitable specialized training for Keke.
Plus the pursuit trial of escaping trucks using only seed magical power and physical body.
Even tripling the difficulty, Keke should handle it fine.
As a Magical Girl and his younger sister, Jiang Keke would never be weaker than others in this lifetime.
While contemplating how to teach Keke cultivation methods later, the Disaster Beast on the rooftop roared again and began moving.
Sighing, Jiang Si stretched his body.
Gathering all the Polluted Magic within him.
A large black bow slowly formed in his hands.
Ultimately, aside from having completely opposite properties, Polluted Magic and pure magic had no differences; the manipulation methods were largely similar, requiring only minor adjustments in control details.
They could accomplish the same things.
Jiang Si stepped on the bow with one foot, pulling the bowstring as a massive arrow continuously flowed into existence, until the bow was drawn full like a round moon.
The moment he released, the whistling arrow shot through the air!
The black magic even created friction flames in the air, forcibly enveloping the arrow within them.
It was no different from the spear Keke had shot earlier!
However, Jiang Si's arrow suddenly stopped the moment it pierced the vine Disaster Beast.
Then it exploded violently inside the Disaster Beast!
The massive Disaster Beast was blasted with vines flying everywhere, half its body annihilated by this single arrow!
Even without transforming, the magical power borrowed from the captain's empowerment was sufficient to match Seedling peak perfection.
Similarly an attack comparable to Half-Step Blooming.
Keke's spear could only create fireworks in the sky - forget A-level Disaster Beasts, even B-level Disaster Beasts couldn't be killed in one hit.
But Jiang Si's arrow had obliterated half of an A-level Disaster Beast's body.
Even Jiang Si himself could give it a "terrifyingly powerful" evaluation.
However, it seemed that even a Half-Step Blooming level attack couldn't kill an A-level Disaster Beast.
Even with half its body destroyed, the vines rapidly grew, immediately replenishing the damaged body.
A-level Disaster Beasts also had distinctions in strength; he should establish detailed rankings for Disaster Beasts later.
After testing for a while, Jiang Si had figured out the characteristics of A-level Disaster Beasts.
First, they had no Grief Seeds.
He had already pierced through the Disaster Beast's entire body, and finally destroyed half of it.
But he never found the location of a Grief Seed.
Originally wanting to attempt the classic challenge of defeating a stronger opponent - using Seedling realm to defeat Blooming level, since A-level Disaster Beasts matched Blooming in strength.
He discovered two things.
One was that Seedling output was ultimately too limited, unable to eliminate an entire A-level Disaster Beast in one go.
The other was that A-level Disaster Beasts had no Grief Seeds.
Breaking defenses and injuring A-level Disaster Beasts was quite difficult for Seedling stage Magical Girls of the Disaster Control Bureau.
If there were Grief Seeds, concentrating power to seize the opportunity and destroy them at once could provide a chance to win.
But A-level Disaster Beasts had no Grief Seeds.
Beihai had never encountered A-level Disaster Beasts before, so the Disaster Control Bureau's records on them were naturally scarce; Jiang Si truly didn't know about this. Bingtang had never mentioned it.
Maybe Bingtang had mentioned it, but he forgot.
After all, they hadn't encountered a single A-level Disaster Beast in three years; this wasn't crucial information, so forgetting was normal.
As the long bow dissipated, the Disaster Beast's vines flew like dense whips charging toward him.
The Polluted Magic within him was almost depleted, and the Calamity Egg had entered dormant suspended animation again.
The empowered strength was ultimately unstable and floating weak; after just one Seedling peak perfection attack, it was completely exhausted.
Jiang Si took out his seed.
The grayish seed still appeared lifeless.
Precisely sidestepping, jumping, retreating.
Countless vines brushed past him.
Too slow. A-level Disaster Beast attacks didn't have much variation, basically see-through at a glance.
Casually maneuvering through the flying vines, Jiang Si looked at his Miracle Seed.
Cannot transform?
Impossible.
All worldly methods originate from the heart; this is merely a minor illusion.
It's not that he cannot transform, but rather making the Magical Girl believe she cannot transform.
This is Sitting Forgetfulness, also Great Forest Wood, as recorded in online novels.
Amusing, but you can't deceive me.
You can fool my eyes, but not my Dao Heart.
The overwhelming vines finally became so dense that not a single gap remained, squeezing toward Jiang Si from all directions!
Gripping the seed tightly with force, terrifying power compressed the miracle as faint purple light bloomed from Jiang Si's palm!
Even if it's a dead seed, I can still use it the same way!
"Heaven and Earth are not humane."
The sky full of vines entangled, continuously blocking Jiang Si's vision, leaving only his left eye coldly watching the distant Disaster Beast.
Finally even this small field of view was obscured.
Completely submerged by vines.
"Treating all things as straw dogs."
Blazing purple explosive flames shot skyward!
......
Keke finally stopped.
Looking at the corpse before her with its head completely smashed and no breath remaining, she felt momentarily exhausted.
Sitting down heavily, Keke breathed heavily.
Although the witch transformation symptoms remained, they had stopped spreading.
The concentration of Polluted Magic had also decreased; at least she didn't need to worry about further Polluted Magic diffusion for now.
Not knowing how to get out, perhaps she truly couldn't escape.
Keke looked up at the vine walls, feeling her breathing gradually becoming difficult.
She had just advanced to Seedling stage earlier, and although she successfully broke through the vine walls then, she could also sense it now.
The vine walls were thicker now, and their power more terrifying.
Even with another full-power attack, she probably couldn't break through.
A-level Disaster Beasts weren't something Seedling stage Magical Girls could handle - Yiyi had told her this.
Once serious, an A-level Disaster Beast's defense couldn't be broken by Seedling stage Magical Girls.
Whether in magical power or magical properties, there was an insurmountable gap between A-level Disaster Beasts and Seedling stage Magical Girls.
When Blooming Magical Girls normally fought A-level Disaster Beasts, Seedling stage Magical Girls couldn't even provide much assistance.
If trapped to death here, would Jiang Si be sad?
Probably not.
Without even hesitation or thought, just remembering her parents' situation, Keke gave her own answer.
Before their parents died, Jiang Si's responses were still normal.
Once they died, it was over - he wouldn't even treat her as human.
Although a corpse indeed isn't considered human either.
What about others? Would anyone be sad for her?
She had no friends at school, only better relations with teachers; teachers would probably feel regret, maybe sad, but only briefly?
Since they weren't family, they wouldn't be sad for long.
Then, everyone in the Magical Girl Combat Team might feel sorrow for her.
Only her friend Yiyi would definitely be sad for a long time.
They were best friends; Yiyi had just emerged from the pain of losing her sister, now facing her friend's death...
It would definitely be very sad; for Yiyi, this was really too cruel.
But, Keke believed.
She could definitely surpass these difficulties!
Looking down at the captain with his smashed head, the corpse emitted a foul stench.
But aside from nausea from the stench, she didn't feel much else.
Thanks to Jiang Si's training - throwing their parents' stinking decomposed bones in front of her.
Looking at this Witch Association scum's dead corpse, no matter how miserable, her heart remained calm like still water.
If it were Jiang Si, what would he do now...
Thinking of Jiang Si, her boiling head cooled down a bit.
She momentarily didn't know what attitude to adopt toward this elder brother of hers.
The hatred and resentment she once felt because of their parents no longer had any basis.
Because she was the one who caused their parents' deaths.
She even felt guilt and heavy sin because of this.
Even if Jiang Si didn't say it, these years hadn't been easy - whether money problems, school matters, daily life, or relations with relatives.
Most still had to be resolved by Jiang Si; what Keke could do was very limited.
If not for their parents' death, Jiang Si shouldn't have borne these responsibilities; he wasn't much older than her.
Although always expressionless, cold and showing no emotion, he must have had a very hard time these years actually.
She always gave him the cold shoulder, made him angry, acted like he had wronged her and treated her poorly.
Actually, the current situation was all, all her fault.
But, then again, I don't have mind-reading ability...
Who told him to never say anything, never complain, never emphasize what he sacrificed? If he didn't speak, how would I know what happened...
Trying hard to find excuses for herself, wanting to lessen her guilt.
But soon felt somewhat discouraged.
Because if she had properly observed back then, if she had abandoned prejudice and objectively viewed what Jiang Si had done.
There wouldn't have been such misunderstandings.
Clearly Li Yi had noticed during their first meeting that Jiang Si wasn't such a terrible and hateful person, unlike her prejudiced self who spoke many good words for Jiang Si.
Yet she hadn't listened at all.
Perhaps Yiyi would be more suitable as Jiang Si's sister.
If Yiyi had been Jiang Si's sister from the start, there might not have been so many disasters...
Then lowering her head, biting her lip, feeling guilty.
Sorry Yiyi, even though your sister's first-week memorial just passed, I'm thinking about making you the sister of your enemy's boyfriend...
But she truly wasn't a qualified sister either.
From beginning to end, she was not only completely wrong, but stubbornly unrepentant.
Self-righteously angry because Jiang Si didn't value their parents' funeral, disappointed and resentful that he wouldn't accompany her during her most painful time.
Yet she was the one who caused their parents' deaths.
The fundamental logic was wrong from the start; Jiang Si should have been angry with her.
Not only did she cause their parents' deaths, but afterwards as a burden she caused Jiang Si countless troubles, always putting on airs, shamelessly dumping problems she couldn't solve onto Jiang Si.
Always self-righteously believing Jiang Si was at fault.
Thinking to this point, Keke couldn't help covering her chest, feeling some stifling and stabbing pain.
How should she apologize to be forgiven?
What should she do to become family again?
Would Jiang Si still care about her as a sister?
How should she tell him that she caused their parents' deaths?
Just thinking about Jiang Si's reaction upon learning this, Keke slowly felt threads of fear rising in her heart.
Would he be angry? Would he hate her? Would he sever relations with her?
If abandoned by her brother, what should she do? Keke would... have no family left.
That kind of thing, no...
"Keke!"
Suddenly a venomous voice echoed throughout the entire building.
Keke immediately gripped her Miracle Seed tightly, looking around.
Then looked down at the captain's corpse.
Definitely dead, no problem.
Then, where was this voice coming from? The captain's voice...
"Even if I'm dead, the Disaster Beast won't die!"
"You won't survive, Keke! Keke!"
Keke finally confirmed it came from the vines.
The voice from within the Disaster Beast, resounding throughout the entire building, echoing layer by layer.
Had the captain merged with the Disaster Beast?
Feeling slightly horrified, Keke forced herself to stand up, gripping the seed tightly again.
Transformation cooldown wasn't over yet, and the Witch Association's influence remained.
Even after cooldown, transforming again would be dangerous.
A vine wrapped around her neck and limbs, lifting her up.
Even the Miracle Seed in her hand was taken away.
"Bringing doubled miracles and happiness? Dream on! You'll only bring calamity forever, Keke!"
Keke struggled to retrieve the Miracle Seed that had fallen to the ground, but the vine pulled her back with slight force.
On the vine wall ahead, the captain's distorted face appeared:
"Because you killed me, this A-level Disaster Beast is about to rampage, and no one can handle it now!" The captain mocked Keke, "This is your doubled miracle and happiness, Keke! Now most people in Beihai... most people in Beihai have fallen asleep, other cities' Disaster Control Bureaus haven't received messages, and can't possibly come in a short time. Half a day, just half a day, and the A-level Disaster Beast will flatten Beihai!"
"You've been a jinx since childhood, a jinx for life!"
"Only bringing disaster and pain to everyone! I'll make you watch how you destroy Beihai - your friends, your classmates, your family, all killed because of you, just like how you killed your own parents back then!"
"Boom!"
Dazzling purple light tore through the vine walls, enveloping the entire building.
A blazing explosive purple fire dragon fiercely charged into the floor!
Thousands of vines entangled up, but turned to ashes in the purple flames, as the flying dragon grabbed the entangled Keke, purple explosive flames instantly burning away all vines on Keke!
Keke scared closed her eyes, but immersed in the purple flames, she only felt comfortable as if in warm water.
Before she could think more, the fire dragon had already carried her bursting out from the floor!
The fire dragon shot through the entire floor like a cannonball, glass and concrete instantly exploded open with the shockwave from the entire floor!
The Disaster Beast above fell down another floor, its entire body covered in purple flames emitting miserable shrieks, unable to extinguish the flames no matter how it shook its vines!
The strong wind made it hard for Keke to open her eyes; when she finally did, she was being held by the back collar like a cat being picked up.
Looking up at that stunningly beautiful face that always amazed people regardless of time, Keke stammered, "Teacher Shion..."
"Don't speak, watch carefully."
Shion's tone was indifferent, but carried some teacherly urging, "Remember, then, practice well."
Keke then watched the white cloud floating above the A-level Disaster Beast covering the entire building.
Suddenly ignite!
The blazing burning flames turned the white cloud into a purple half-finger.
Somewhat resembling Teacher Shion's pinky finger...
Then, that half finger pressed down.
The originally burning vines instantly evaporated!
The entire building exploded from the top floor, reinforced concrete melting and splashing apart!
Load-bearing columns and steel beams first bent, then fractured, the building collapsing downward layer by layer like dominoes!
Blinding blue-white electric arcs scrambled chaotically in the air, crackling explosive sounds quickly suppressed by the building collapse's roar; something below must have touched electrical wires or boxes, lights madly flickering on and off.
Then completely plunged into darkness, as rebars, furniture, glass, and other debris splashed everywhere melted in the purple flames, only cement dust and harmless fragments transformed into gray giant waves surging outward!
Rows of parked cars were almost all crushed, setting off alarms and explosions, burning up.
Her ears almost pierced by the destructive sound's eardrums; when Keke regained her senses, she found only ruins remained at the building site, with a few vines twisting and struggling in the flames.
Keke's mouth hung open.
She thought after advancing to Seedling stage, she could finally approach Teacher Shion a bit.
But, the stronger she became, the clearer she understood how massive this gap was...
"Did you learn it?" Shion asked, "Heaven-grade Magic Technique: [Great Barren Imprisoning Heaven Finger, Half Finger Shakes Heaven and Earth.]"
One of the Azure Cloud Sect's most useful and popular Magic Techniques.
Opening her mouth, Keke really wanted to say she learned it.
But she completely didn't understand it!
Oh no, the teacher finally taught her a skill once, but she didn't learn it at all. Would Teacher Shion be disappointed? If disappointed, would she never teach her again? That absolutely cannot happen...
Shion raised an eyebrow, somewhat doubtful - could her teaching skills really be that bad?
That attack just now contained many clever designs she had incorporated, using only techniques and methods Seedling Magical Girls could master; even if Keke was stupid, she should see it, right?
Surely no one could fail to learn such simple magical techniques...
Then she sensed a trace of ominous aura.
The damaged witch Magical Outfit on Keke actually began growing somewhat.
Then she heard Keke sneer with mockery, "Is that all? For someone like me who's already a complete witch, this is completely unnecessary."
Completely different expression and tone from before, with dense Polluted Magic emanating from her.
A second personality after witch transformation? Interesting.
But why would the second personality imitate my speech?
Shion felt slightly puzzled, but didn't dwell on it, casually throwing Keke to the ground.
Extending her small, round index finger, the faint purple nail polish seeming to ignite, a giant finger materialized above Keke, "Fallen into demonic ways? Then let you personally experience the Great Barren Imprisoning Heaven Finger to sober up."
Before the half finger in the sky even descended, the terrifying force made the ground around Keke crack and collapse!
The witch Magical Outfit on her instantly dispersed, Keke "thumped" to her knees.
Sorry Teacher Shion because I didn't want you to be disappointed so I pretended to be the witch transformation second personality wanting you to think it's not that I'm useless but the witch-transformed me is useless I was wrong I'll never dare again please don't beat me to death...
