This Demonic Creature was too human-like, quite different from a beast.
It seemed to have clear emotions like ‘anger’ and ‘rage,’ with a certain level of thinking ability.
Could this be the true form of the Demonic Creature? Has the Human Alliance been hiding the real information about them all along, deliberately misleading the people?
Many mysteries surged in Yin Lin’s mind.
The scene just now had shaken her deeply, comparable to the first time she saw the Pit of Corpses just a few days ago.
The magical power she had just converted suddenly dissipated.
A strong sense of fear pressed down on her heart, forcing her to rise several dozen meters higher.
A month ago, she was just an ordinary wage earner with most of her knowledge about magical girls coming from television, having only very distant contact long ago.
For a magical girl, he was an unreachable existence.
Those Demonic Creatures were somewhat closer, occasionally encountered, more likely than meeting a celebrity.
She had even been in close contact with them during her childhood.
She should have been afraid of the Demonic Creatures, should have been filled with fear.
So why, in less than a month, had she become so accustomed to this? Why did she even actively raise the banner to fight against the Demonic Creatures?
Was it just because of the diamond?
Or was it because deep inside, she also wanted to obtain such power, to wipe out all the Demonic Creatures?
After ascending to a sufficiently high altitude, she pondered while converting her magical power again, preparing for the Sky-Cleaving Spear.
Don’t doubt or scrutinize yourself during battle.
This was the experience Song Wuli, a 34-year-old, had gained from years of watching anime.
In anime, the protagonist gets flashbacks, but the real world doesn’t.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
And gave herself a silent reminder.
No matter what the power of the magical girl was, no matter what the prerequisite talent of the Sky-Cleaving Spear represented.
Right now, she only wanted to use that power, even if it was forbidden, even if it was evil.
She didn’t care.
Because she only wanted to kill it immediately, not waiting one more second.
This was a genuine emotion, not a false one.
That barrier that had always obstructed Yin Lin seemed to break.
Like an athlete afraid of injuring their leg but now running at full speed ignoring the risk; like a freerunner afraid of falling but now attempting a front flip with the resolve to get hurt; like an ADC afraid of dying who now dares to take the minion wave even at the risk of death.
At that moment, discarding all consequences, the athlete sprinted without care for his Achilles, the freerunner flipped with the acceptance of injury, the ADC charged forward to take the cannon minion.
That barrier was shattered.
Yin Lin finally realized that the reason she had never been able to wield the Sky-Cleaving Spear properly was because of her mistrust of the Contract Goddess, which prevented her from trusting these magics; and her resistance to the identity of a magical girl made her unwilling to actively train related abilities.
It was a mental block.
This time, using the Sky-Cleaving Spear went very smoothly.
She easily converted the magical power’s attribute and then formed the shape of the spear.
It was a dazzling spear of light, over two meters long, with a huge, sharp spearhead.
The entire spear was constantly flowing with wild magic like lightning.
Unlike the magic cannon that purely slammed people with raw magic, the Sky-Cleaving Spear’s magic was tightly contained within the spear’s body.
This light spear was like a gas canister, with the magic inside like high-pressure gas.
Though it looked like just a two-meter-long spear, the magic infused inside was already equivalent to 50% of a magic cannon’s scale.
Its charging speed far exceeded that of the magic cannon, and the magic utilization rate was much higher.
The Demonic Creature didn’t sense the magic contained in the Sky-Cleaving Spear but only knew it contained a lot of magic, though not how much exactly.
Moreover, the charging speed of this magic was too fast, and it looked weak in power, like a toy firecracker.
The magical girl’s injection of magic was like a water pipe; the pipe size was fixed, and the maximum flow rate per minute was limited.
The Sky-Cleaving Spear made in just ten seconds, compared to a magic cannon that took five minutes to charge, would make anyone think its power was only 1/30th of the magic cannon’s.
Not that precise, but roughly about 1/10th.
This Demonic Creature was no exception but still decided to deal with it.
It took out that bead again, preparing to respond.
Seeing the creature ready, Yin Lin didn’t fire, just continued waiting.
The Demonic Creature didn’t dare to turn around.
It retreated while watching Yin Lin closely, slowly approaching the riverbank.
Its movements were too human-like, full of various countermeasures, making it feel less like a Demonic Creature and more like a human of equal intelligence.
Looking closely, she noticed something near the creature’s ear.
An earpiece?
Another question added to her confusion.
Suddenly, a bright idea flashed through Yin Lin’s mind, and she shouted, “I think we can have a friendly conversation. Who are you? Do you have a name or a code?”
An absurd thought.
What if this Demonic Creature could actually communicate?
The creature kept retreating without responding.
Yin Lin lowered her altitude a little and shouted again, “Maybe we can resolve this peacefully, no need for a fight to the death.”
Now she was starting to deceive.
If it were Huan Hong or Jin Luan, they would never say such things to a Demonic Creature, not even as a lie.
But as an older man, Yin Lin didn’t care about that.
To achieve her goal, a little trickery was acceptable.
The Demonic Creature still didn’t respond or show any extra reaction, continuing to bring the hostage closer to the riverbank, preparing to cross.
Unbeknownst to them, this scene was being broadcast to the live stream through Liang Tai’s drone, and Huang Yi along with other experts were watching it.
“This is strange. The reaction is very abnormal,” a psychology expert interjected. “If you suddenly talk to a cat and a dog, what do you think would happen?”
“No need to guess. I have a cat at home. When I talk to it, it looks at me,” another expert chimed in.
“That’s exactly the point. But Biscuit Boy not only didn’t look at her, he ignored her completely. Even if there’s a language barrier and he doesn’t understand, it’s still a deliberate avoidance.”
“Let’s put psychology aside for now. Physics expert, do you have any new analysis of Yin Lin’s magic?” a middle-aged man shouted, trying to find the physics expert in the bustling crowd to analyze this rare scene.
Everyone was seeing Yin Lin use this light spear magic for the first time.
Soon someone pushed through the crowd, writing formulas and drawing on a blackboard.
Speaking while writing: “According to my analysis, this is a high compression form of magic, compressing a large amount of magic into this shape. And the reason we can see this magic clearly with the naked eye is because the compression degree of the magic is very, very high.”
