Chapter 123 The Flaws of Teleportation
The stalemate between Evil Fallen Heavenly Jewel and Heart-Pounding continues.
For both of them, they were at a psychological disadvantage.
For Fuxin, the Fallen Heavenly Authority and the Fallen Heavenly Pivot could arrive at any moment. Meanwhile, the other "selves" and reinforcements were still on their way, which made her consider whether to send one of her selves to evacuate with Lingbo first.
However, the mental abilities displayed by the Fallen Celestial seem to allow it to instantly teleport to its target's side. If the two "selves" were to separate rashly at this moment, they would be defeated one by one.
The current stalemate between myself and Tianji is the best outcome I can achieve.
As for the corrupted Tianji, they were caught in a different kind of anxiety—
Why haven't Tianquan and Tianshu arrived yet?
The opponent is just a "Blooming" level magical girl, surely they can't possibly lose and get wiped out?
Moreover, Tianquan's mental image is an ability that completely suppresses magical girls below the "Blooming" level. Logically speaking, the battle should have ended long ago.
However, Evil Heavenly Pivot and Heart-Pounding have been locked in a stalemate for almost half an hour.
Therefore, a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in the heart of the evil-fallen Tianji—
Could it be that something happened to those two over there?
The only possibility that Evil Heavenly Pivot could think of was that the two of them had been ambushed. Otherwise, a single "Blooming" level magical girl wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long.
Thus, both sides fell into a state of anxiety.
Seeing Fuxin and the Fallen Tianji fighting, Lingbo also planned to help. However, the power of her magic bullets was limited, posing virtually no threat to Tianji. If she used the charged piercing cannon, the power would be sufficient, but that would also affect the other "Fuxin".
The melee fighter was currently locked in close combat with the Fallen Celestial. In the following attempts, the Fallen Celestial continued to try to teleport to Lingbo's side to directly attack the target, but as soon as Celestial teleported, the melee fighter would immediately look towards the support fighter, using "vision sharing" to immediately allow the support fighter to pull Lingbo away and dodge the attack.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Evil Heavenly Jade gradually lost patience, and her inner worries deepened.
Unable to engage in melee combat herself, and with her two teammates yet to appear, the Fallen Celestial's aggression plummeted. Celestial had already devised a plan in her mind—
Let's stall for time and see how things go.
If Tianquan and Tianshu were only delayed due to an unexpected incident, then I only need to wait a little longer until reinforcements arrive, and victory will be assured.
However, even if the two of them are really killed... he has a backup plan, so escaping unscathed shouldn't be a problem.
Having made this decision, the Fallen Celestial simply engaged in a stalemate with the melee fighters and ceased its offensive.
However, this change in the attitude of the evil Tianji made Zhu Xin quite nervous.
She suddenly stopped being in such a hurry to get rid of me... What happened?
Could it be... that the Fallen Celestial Authority and the Fallen Celestial Pivot have finished their battle? And reinforcements from the other side are on their way?
The thought of this possibility made Fu Xin even more anxious. She looked down at Ling Bo and whispered a question—
"What is your strongest attack spell?"
"...Hmm? I have a charged-up piercing cannon attack, its power is quite astonishing, it even severely injured a 'Eternal Radiance' level magical girl before. But this attack requires me to charge it up for 5 seconds... even if I successfully charge it up—"
Lingbo's gaze slowly shifted to the close-quarters battle between Jinzhan Fuxin and the Fallen Heavenly Pivot—
"The opponent can teleport, so they can easily run away, right? There's no way to hit them! Besides, my move is very powerful; it might even affect the 'heart-pounding' attack over there, right?"
"I see, that makes things easier." Fu Xin nodded, and the next second, in close combat at a distance, Fu Xin seemed to have received some kind of instruction, and launched an attack with a straight punch from the right in a very dangerous posture.
Tianji didn't miss this opening, and launched a hand chop at Fuxin's wide-open right shoulder. The magic-infused hand chop directly grazed Fuxin, but she didn't care and charged forward, allowing Tianji's hand chop to pierce through her shoulder.
"Are you out of your mind?" the Fallen Celestial sneered. In their previous encounter, she had discovered that the close-combat skills of the Heart-Pounding Palm were not weak, but now she had made such a serious mistake.
It seems that I can win even without the arrival of Tian Shu and Tian Quan.
However, in the next second, Fu Xin immediately ignored Tian Ji's hand chop attack and turned to hug the corrupted Tian Ji with her body. Because Tian Ji's hand chop was stuck in Fu Xin's shoulder, she was caught off guard and her whole body was "locked" by Fu Xin.
"What are you going to do!" A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Tianji's heart.
Lingbo couldn't understand the melee fighter's action of patting his chest. But the support fighter next to her immediately spoke up—
"Quick, unleash your piercing cannon! She can't move right now, aim at her!"
"Huh?! No way, that will cause that too—"
"Don't worry about me! Didn't you severely injure a 'Eternal Radiance' level magical girl with that move? So it's just that 'me' and Tianji are both seriously injured at the same time, we won't die."
"This...this won't do..." Lingbo was caught in a dilemma; she simply couldn't bring herself to do such a thing.
For her, even attacking her own comrades for the sake of victory was something she could not accept at all.
Seeing Lingbo's hesitation, Fuxin grew anxious: "Hurry up and attack! I'm already injured from trapping Tianji, and I might not be able to hold out against her any longer. If we don't severely injure Tianji now, we'll all die!"
"No...I..." Lingbo's usually calm face was contorted with pain.
"That 'me' is just a 'clone'! It doesn't matter if it dies! Attack!"
In a moment of desperation, he came up with a reason.
In reality, each of the clones formed by her mental constructs, "Illusory Self Concerto," is her "original self." The death of any one clone will cause all the clones to vanish together.
Fu Xin could have discussed this tactic with Ling Bo first. However, Fu Xin anticipated that Ling Bo would definitely not agree, so she planned to act first and inform her later. She would use her close-combat skills to trap the Fallen Heavenly Pivot, and then force Ling Bo to launch an attack.
After all, he had risked his life to trap Tianji for a moment. If Lingbo didn't attack, wouldn't that be a waste of the opportunity?
I just didn't expect that Lingbo really couldn't bring herself to do it.
So, in a moment of desperation, he came up with the idea that "it doesn't matter if the clone dies."
In fact, if one thinks back on it, Lingbo would soon realize the contradiction in the conversation with Fuxin—if it really didn't matter if the other clone died, then Fuxin would have used that reason long ago instead of dragging it out until the last moment.
In this emergency, Lingbo didn't have time to think about anything else.
This heartfelt explanation also significantly reduced Lingbo's aversion to the idea of "firing at her comrades."
So, Lingbo immediately aimed at the direction of Evil Fallen Heavenly Pivot and Heart-Pounding and began to gather magic power.
Tianji immediately realized Lingbo's intention and, in a panic, tried to break free from the close-combat restraints—
"Let me go, or you'll get hit too!"
"I knew it—" He hugged her and patted her heart, then smiled knowingly.
"Your teleportation... you can't use it while being held like this, right?"
