Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 80 – Strike of Cestus
In the next moment, Cui Que saw that the magic wand in Sparrow's hand turned into scattered streams of magic power.
She had already noticed that the opponent's position was constantly approaching her, and she realized that Sparrow might have some close-range abilities.
A sense of warning immediately arose in her heart, but fortunately, Cui Que was prepared. Runes flew out from her sleeve to form a barrier, and she had already started retreating towards the back.
And the direction she retreated in had already been predetermined, an area where she could leverage her magical assembly.
"Too slow!"
Sparrow noticed Cui Que's intentions and pulled out an exaggerated claw-shaped magical assembly from the chaotic streams. Then, she swung the rope at the end of it and threw it forcefully in Cui Que's direction.
Almost at the same time, Cui Que felt her retreat speed slowing down.
The magical assembly thrown by Sparrow was a hidden weapon that resembled an eagle's claw. It had four blade toes in the front and one in the back, connected to a rope, with the end held by Sparrow.
In the material world's understanding, weapons or hidden weapons like this were called Flying Claws.
When Sparrow threw the Flying Claw, it generated an inexplicable attraction, as if it were a magnet attracting the creatures around it, causing Cui Que, who was the target, to decrease her flying speed.
Not only that, even if the Flying Claw was not aimed at Cui Que when it was thrown, once Cui Que was affected and her movement speed decreased, it seemed to have a self-awareness and changed direction, quickly rushing towards her.
In the blink of an eye, the Flying Claw had already flown in front of Cui Que.
Seeing her attack about to hit, Sparrow's smile became even more satisfied.
This was why she was willing to use the magical assembly only after shortening the distance between them: her magical assembly had the dual effect of target acquisition and attraction within a certain range. Coupled with its inherent strong killing power, as long as it was used, it would definitely inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
With her gaze fixed on it, the Flying Claw directly targeted Cui Que, who was not far away. Soon, a muffled sound of impact could be heard, as if it had hit something.
Everything went as she expected. The information between herself and the opponent was not equal, and it was precisely this information gap that gave her the advantage in this battle of hidden enemies.
"Haha! I told you, you can't escape!"
Mocking loudly, Sparrow pulled the rope forcefully, wanting to pull the Flying Claw back and bring Cui Que back from a distance.
But when the rope was pulled and gradually retracted, she suddenly found that there was nothing on it.
The blade toes of the Flying Claw were only stuck with a few strands of undissipated magic power, reminding her of what she had caught.
"This is—"
She couldn't help but widen her eyes.
—"It's a temporary substitute doll that I weaved."
A cold voice came from behind her.
Behind her, Cui Que had already appeared there at some point, and the magical assembly in her hand had also transformed into a masterpiece, turning into two huge gauntlets wrapped around her hands.
"Masterpiece, the second one, Strike of Cestus."
Without saying another word, she softly chanted, swinging the gauntlets in her hands, and a heavy punch landed on Sparrow's back.
Sparrow didn't have time to turn around and look, but she felt a tremendous force suddenly coming from her back.
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded from the sky, causing countless pedestrians below to stop and look up.
Then, they saw a small figure falling from the sky and crashing heavily onto an empty road.
Thud!
After the huge impact sound, what appeared in front of them was the almost completely shattered road surface from the impact, scattered soil and stones, and at the bottom of the deep pit, a black figure lying there.
"I finally caught this guy. Next... let's inform the Bureau of Special Tactics to come and take them away."
Descending slowly from the high altitude, lingering at a height of about ten meters from the ground, Cui Que dispersed the gauntlets around her hands. She looked at the pit on the road below and sighed:
"But, this time, I'm afraid I really have to let the Bureau of Special Tactics get involved."
The rebellious organization called "Claw Mark" did appear in Fangting City, and they even came to her door so openly and challenged her. She couldn't just let this kind of incident go unnoticed.
Not to mention, according to the director of the Bureau of Special Tactics in Fangting City, this group of people might also be related to the disappearance of the former Seeder, "Nini"; even the mysterious appearance of the Pupa stage Brutal Beast underground might be the work of these people. For the sake of her daughter's safety, she had to completely eradicate these people from Fangting City.
Finally catching their tail and capturing all these troublemakers who were secretly causing trouble, it was necessary for the next activities of the Fangting City team.
But the reason she sighed was that once the Bureau of Special Tactics got involved, she wouldn't be able to hide the news of her comeback anymore.
As an organization she was affiliated with, the Bureau of Special Tactics had countless connections with her, and there were many people who could be called "old acquaintances". Once the news of her comeback spread, it would be difficult for her to continue her regular life of working and taking care of her child in Fangting City.
To be honest, since the day she decided to resign and even took out the Flower of the Heart from the closet, she had already prepared herself to face all of this. But now that it had come to this point, she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Don't think about these things, it's better to call someone to control this guy first.
As she contemplated in her heart, she was about to take out her phone and dial Hong Siyu's number, but as soon as her palm touched the phone, she found that it had already vibrated.
Looking at the screen, she saw the words "Lin Xiaolu" displayed on it, and she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.Cui Que remembered the message Xia Liang had sent her in the group, suspecting that Mo Ke had found a potential magical girl and was hiding it, wanting to track and investigate.
Calling her now must be related to this matter.
Although it would make more sense for her to explain the situation to Hong Siyu and the Bureau of Special Tactics first, after a brief hesitation, she felt that Lin Xiaolu's call was more important.
With expectations in her heart, Cui Que raised her thumb and prepared to press the call button on the screen.
But she didn't have time to press it.
"Whoosh!"
Because, almost at the same time, a black shadow suddenly swept past her wrist and quickly collided with her hand.
Cui Que caught a glimpse of this scene with her peripheral vision and quickly withdrew her hand in time due to her quick reaction. However, because the target of this attack was too small and came too fast, she only managed to retract her hand. The phone she was holding was knocked down and fell into the nearby bushes.
Without time to check the condition of her phone, Cui Que immediately looked towards the small black shadow that had suddenly attacked her. After seeing its appearance clearly, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Sparrow?"
She wasn't calling out the enemy's code name.
Rather, the small black shadow she saw was not something else, but a sparrow flapping its wings.
Normal sparrows shouldn't have such fast flying speed and relatively poor endurance. How could it be fast enough to catch her, a magical girl, off guard?
"...Ouch."
Just as Cui Que couldn't help but start thinking, even though there was still some distance between her and the pit, the voice of the sparrow came clearly from the hole.

"I'm not dead yet, and you're still thinking about making a phone call at a time like this. Should I praise you for being a former Flower Card?"
Emerging from the pit once again, the sparrow appeared in Cui Que's field of vision.
She remained conscious and even had combat ability, which surprised Cui Que.
Cui Que was well aware of the power of her masterpiece's heavy blow. Without using advanced spell formulas or defensive magical assemblies, most Leaf Stage and even Bud Stage magical girls wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack.

In terms of a magical girl's physical fitness, taking a punch from her masterpiece, even if this sparrow magical girl was attacked unexpectedly from behind, it would probably not feel good for Cui Que herself to stand still and take it.
Therefore, Cui Que could confirm in reverse that this magical girl who called herself a sparrow was not at the Bud Stage.
However, because she had taken a heavy blow from her masterpiece, the sparrow that fell to the ground was in a more sorry state than before, with many leaks in her magical clothing, indicating that she had suffered significant damage.
But the image she presented at this moment puzzled Cui Que once again.
Because at some point, the sparrow's left arm as a human had disappeared, replaced by a pair of black-based, yellow-spotted magical bird wings, which looked quite strange.
Her eyes had also undergone a transformation, with the most obvious change being that the iris had become disproportionately large, almost occupying the entire eye socket. The remaining part of the sclera was no longer the white color of a human, but had turned black.
"Haven't seen it before? Then you should be happy, after all, I rarely use my half-beast form in front of others."
The sparrow raised her head, revealing the purple-black heart gem below her neck, widened her eyes, and showed an excited and combative smile. "But don't get distracted, the real show is about to begin."
She raised the half of her body that had transformed into bird wings, and the pitch-black magical feathers flapped, causing scattered magic power to spread like a torrent, creating waves that even surged towards the onlookers. The waves of magic power caused screams and cries of surprise, and many people screamed in pain as soon as the magic power touched them.
This kind of magic power had a certain corrosive and damaging effect on the magic power of magical girls, let alone weak magic power of ordinary people. The pain caused by the erosion and destruction of the tiny magic power related to their bodies and lives was unbearable for ordinary people.
Cui Que, who had been observing the situation and planning to retrieve her phone, had no time to do what she wanted. She could only use her magical assembly to manifest layers of silk threads from the intersection, blocking the black magic power from rushing towards the pedestrians.
"Don't just stand here and watch, run!" she shouted at the dumbfounded passersby.
—"Didn't I tell you not to get distracted!"
On the other side, the sparrow roared excitedly, soaring into the air once again. This time, her speed was so fast that even the trajectory couldn't be seen by ordinary people.Not only that, but the small sparrow that had previously attacked Cui Que from the shadows also flew up with her. Several small sparrows followed her, like wingmen in the sky. These birds opened and closed their beaks, unexpectedly spitting out small magic bullets.
These small magic bullets seemed to be only as big as mung beans, and their power was not lethal. However, they were fast and difficult to discern with the naked eye, making it easy for ordinary people to be hit by them.
Black and blue magic power clashed in the air once again, and this time, the blue clearly found itself in a passive position.
After transforming into the "half-beast form" that it called, the sparrow not only had a stronger physical condition and speed, but the intensity of its magic power also suddenly increased to a higher level, completely suppressing Cui Que.
If someone knowledgeable were to observe this battle, they would find that while Cui Que was far superior to the sparrow in terms of combat intuition and planning in the use of magic power, the sparrow's method of attack was overwhelming, firmly taking the upper hand in pure magic power output.
However, Cui Que was not in a hurry. It would be more accurate to say that she remained very calm.
Even though she was already in a passive situation, she continued to conserve her magic power, using a combination of barriers and her masterpiece to defend against the sparrow's flashy and frequent attacks, while also searching for an opportunity to counterattack.
"Why not unleash the Wonderland? Cornflower!"
And this constant defense made the sparrow feel bored, as if she were just hitting a turtle shell, completely devoid of the joy of battle.
So, she once again unleashed her magic power and brought out her flying claw magical assembly.
Dark magic power spread from her right arm, and the tip of the flying claw began to emit an ominous color. She swung her arm in mid-air, like throwing a spear, forcefully smashing it towards Cui Que.
The flying claw magical assembly, also enveloped in dark magic power, heavily smashed onto the masterpiece that Cui Que had formed. However, this time, the force was far greater than before. Although it still didn't penetrate the masterpiece, it sent both the masterpiece and Cui Que flying backwards.
"Or perhaps, it's just as the rumors say..."
Using her remaining right hand to retract her magical assembly, the sparrow laughed freely once again:
"During the 'Garden' defense battle, your Heart Gem had problems because you used power that exceeded its limits, right?"
