Xing Yu listened blankly to the shout coming from her younger sister.
In just two short sentences, it was as if she had called out to the entire world.
Every word held a magical power of its own, and the once depleted magic source rapidly revived, shining with abundant brilliance.
“Huh? What is this? So happy, so happy, so happy!”
Li Yun—was she fighting alongside me in her own way?
Xing Yu’s eyes lit up.
After seven long years, she had finally regained the feeling of standing shoulder to shoulder with her sister in battle.
But more important than that was—【Li Yun is here. She’s watching me…】
Thanks to the convenience of magic, even from such a distance, Xing Yu could clearly see in her sister’s hopeful, longing eyes the unmistakable reflection of herself, adorably innocent and earnest.
“If my little sister is so eager for me to win, then I absolutely can’t disappoint her.”
Xing Yu’s eyes blazed with incredible light.
Innate Magic: Mirror World—
Soul Pillar!
The Mirror World was painted in countless colors, swirling, unfolding, and spreading out like a kaleidoscope.
A surge of magical energy, more intense than before, radiated outward.
“Success!” Xing Yu exclaimed with joy.
The Soul Pillar was a milestone achievement in magic development in recent years.
Simply put, it was a kind of “magic composite,” a manifestation of one’s innate magic that could exist permanently in the world, but only stored within the “Sanctuary” at the Magic Alliance headquarters.
When needed, it could be summoned from headquarters for use.
The Soul Pillar contained a vast reserve of magic and already-formed, ready-to-use powerful spells.
This single advancement boosted the combat power of the Ten Seats by over 40%!
Feeling the overflowing power in her hands, Xing Yu clenched her fist and fixed her sharp gaze on the dragon-class dimensional beast.
“Let’s start over.”
Dragon-class Dimensional Beast: What?! What the hell?!
Possessing intelligence on par with humans, it immediately sensed something was wrong.
Wasn’t she just moments ago barely hanging on?
How did she recover to full health so quickly?
And now she seemed even more threatening than before!
Was it because of those few shouts from that girl?
Screw that!
Whoever gets a rebirth just from a shout like that is a total joke!
I’m outta here!
You have fun on your own!
Taking advantage of the moment Xing Yu was casting, the dragon-class beast turned and fled, heading straight for Border Customs.
If it was because it came here that she was chasing it relentlessly, then going back should be fine, right?
However—
“The mood’s already like this; can’t you just grudgingly cooperate a little?”
From the shadows, Luo You aimed a golden arrow at one of the beast’s iron wings.
The arrow tore through the air and struck, bending and disabling the wing.
Without its only chance to escape, the dragon-class dimensional beast was forced back into a fight with Xing Yu.
***
“Is this really going to work?!”
Li Yun stood frozen where she was, watching her sister’s sudden reversal of fortune.
At first, her sister’s face had been etched with pain, but now it beamed with satisfied smiles.
Luo You stepped out of the shadows.
“Yes, this is the ‘superpower’ that even ordinary people can use.”
“Superpower…?”
“Yes. Use your imagination—your lover is playing badminton in a match, and you’re in the stands. Even if your lover is performing poorly, the moment you shout ‘Go, Jiā!’, they can suddenly unleash strength far beyond their usual level. This kind of power, which science can’t fully explain, is the ‘superpower’ that ordinary people possess.”
Luo You added, “At the same time, it’s also the ‘miracle’ that belongs to magical girls.”
Only Luo You understood that the friendships and bonds of magical girls truly existed.
“Miracle of magical girls? What does that mean?”
Li Yun asked, puzzled.
Luo You explained slowly, “Big sister, do you know about Cthulhu?”
“I’ve heard of it.”
“Well… their friendships, bonds, dreams—everything about magical girls is conceptual.
It’s similar to the conceptual gods in Cthulhu.”
“Eh?! That powerful?”
“It’s just a metaphor. No matter what, it won’t instantly grant world-shattering power.
But things like friendship and bonds can temporarily boost a magical girl’s strength to a level beyond her own.”
Luo You’s expression darkened, recalling some unpleasant memories.
“Well, you should have reestablished a bond with Xing Yu by now.
Maybe soon you’ll be able to transform into a magical girl again.
That way, my promise with that person is fulfilled.”
“Errela, you…”
For a moment, Li Yun felt a flicker of warmth.
Was this really the Errela she knew?
So gentle.
Suddenly remembering something, she hurriedly asked, “So the part about filming those little movies was just a joke, right?”
“Ah? How could that be? I’m serious.
Big sister, what are you thinking about? You’re such a weakling~.
You promised, no backing out now.”
“Ehhh—”
Li Yun was deeply disappointed.
“But didn’t you come because of that promise?”
“A promise is a promise, but any extra work I do on top of that comes with a fee.
And when we made the deal, no one told me big sister here was such a troublesome woman.”
“What?!”
Troublesome woman?
Li Yun felt a surge of anger.
If I’m troublesome, it’s because of you!
This brat really needs someone to teach her a lesson!
Sensing the change in Li Yun’s expression, Luo You glared at her.
“Don’t even think about reneging.
I know your real appearance and your address.
If you back out, I’ll have to take off my mask.”
“What does you taking off your mask have to do with anything?”
“It means I’ll turn you into a life-sized doll who won’t reveal my identity even if she sees my true face.
Big sister, you wouldn’t want that, would you?”
“I’ll keep my promise.”
Li Yun shivered.
The future Errela described was no longer even human.
A magical transmission beam exclusive to the Magic Alliance shone across the sky.
The dazzling light descended from above, and a powerful shout echoed through the surroundings.
“Xing Yu! Hold it steady!”
Reinforcements had arrived.
The seventh of the Ten Seats appeared—Jinwang, also known as Golden.
Her long hair flowed over two meters down her back like a golden cloak.
Her graceful figure and golden cross-shaped pupils gave her an appearance both gentle and virtuous.
But—
“Innate Magic: Golden Flame!”
Jinwang’s entire body was engulfed in golden tail flames.
She stomped the ground and, without hesitation, broke the sound barrier, surging forward like a golden tide of blood and energy!
Boom!
Where the dragon-class dimensional beast was struck, a deafening explosion roared as its blood, saturated with Border Customs material, burst apart!
That’s right.
Despite her gentle and beautiful appearance and being the seventh seat among the magical girls, her innate magic earned her the nickname “Physics Girl.”
Her strength was unimaginably immense.
Luo You had a deep impression of her—despite her feminine body, her spirit was manly.
Once, when they had already drained all her magic, she cheerfully began to use her physical strength, nearly turning the battle around on her own.
Because of that, Luo You remembered her vividly.
