I'm a magical girl in the future

Chapter 124 A Heart-Pounding Doubt

Although the "Instant Teleportation" ability of the Fallen Celestial's Heart Form allows for instantaneous movement, it has many flaws.

First, she must decide on her "teleportation target." She must first designate someone as a "marker," and then she can teleport to that person's vicinity.

Therefore, theoretically, the location that Tianji can teleport to is fixed and cannot be arbitrarily determined. Moreover, the existence of the mark is also time-limited, and it will expire after 3 hours. Furthermore, if the marked person runs too far away, Tianji will not be able to teleport there.

The maximum number of characters that can be marked is three, and once the limit is reached, the initial mark cannot be immediately removed; one must wait for the earliest mark to disappear naturally. This significantly limits Tianji's mobility.

In the previous battle, Tianji had already used two marks—on the melee fighter Fuxin and on Lingbo. The third mark... was placed on a passerby before the battle even began.

That's right, the "backup plan" left by Tianji was to immediately teleport away if things went wrong.

Although the actions of a passerby are beyond their control, Tianji's goal is to have a way to quickly escape the battlefield. As for the location to be teleported after escaping, she doesn't care.

Moreover, in a short period of time, this passerby is unlikely to go too far away—at least not outside the city limits.

The Fallen Celestial was even more cautious, refraining from placing the teleportation marker on her teammates. In case her teammates were defeated (though she felt such a thing was highly unlikely), teleporting there herself would be tantamount to walking into a trap.

With this "safety net" in place, even if you don't necessarily win, you definitely won't lose.

However, Tianji's teleportation has one flaw—

That is, if she is physically restrained or controlled by magic, teleportation is unusable. She had always kept this weakness to herself. Apart from "that person," even her other colleagues in the Council of Seven were unaware of this.

But why is this magical girl in front of me—

"How...how did you know?!" The Fallen Heavenly Pierce, who was being held tightly, was completely panicked.

"Ah, I didn't actually know that just now. I wasn't sure if hugging you would work, so I just tried to trick you, but I didn't expect you to admit it yourself."

He patted his heart, his smile vanishing, replaced by an unwavering resolve—

"Take this!"

Depend on!

Tianji felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.

She frantically pounded and attacked Fuxin with her hands, but Fuxin held her tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

it's over...

In Tianji's despairing vision, a powerful torrent of magic rushed in, engulfing her and Fuxin in its wake.

The immense impact even damaged the exterior of buildings surrounding the street, ripped up asphalt across the entire street, and sent dust billowing into the air.

Lingbo's light beam ended, and she somewhat reluctantly withdrew her hands.

This move is incredibly powerful... It seems that if I want to use it in the city in the future, I need to be more careful not to accidentally harm civilians.

However, Fu Xin, who was next to Ling Bo, suddenly squatted down with a pained expression, one knee on the ground, panting heavily.

"What's wrong?!" Seeing Lingbo's expression, she suddenly realized something. "You were lying to me when you said it didn't matter if your clone died?!"

"Ah, well, there's no other way, after all... cough cough, the situation is urgent." Fu Xin frowned, the pain on his face not fading at all.

"However, it's not a big problem. 'We' won't transfer our wounds to each other, but we will share some of the pain from our injuries. But it's not anything particularly serious; the pain shared between the clones is only one-tenth of the original."

"Then what about the other you...?" Lingbo tried to help him up and patted his heart.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet. If 'that me' dies, 'this me' will also disappear. The other me has only suffered a minor fatal wound, so don't worry."

"..." Lingbo didn't say anything more, but looked at the messy street in front of her, intending to fly over and carry the other one over.

Just as Lingbo was preparing to take off, a familiar rainbow light rapidly approached from the horizon and landed in front of Lingbo and Fuxin—

"Big sister?!" Lingbo was slightly stunned when she saw the person in front of her.

Lingbo had prepared for the worst, knowing her older sister had been left alone to deal with two "Eternal Radiance" level magical girls. She never expected her sister to return unharmed, aside from a few injuries…

She rushed forward, somewhat excited, and hugged Ji Xia—

"That's great! Sis...you..." Lingbo felt something was about to spill from her eyes, but she tried her best to hold it back.

Deep down, she still sees herself as a grown man. But judging from her current appearance, it wouldn't be a problem for her to have a good cry.

"Okay, okay... I'm fine now." Ji Xia hugged Ling Bo and looked down at her tenderly.

The person next to him, Fu Xin, was both surprised and delighted.

However, more than Lingbo's joy at Ji Xia's survival, she was more concerned about what had happened to Ji Xia.

Judging from Ji Xia's condition, she only has shallow wounds all over her body, showing no signs of having gone through a life-or-death battle. In other words, Ji Xia defeated two "Eternal Radiance" level magical girls very easily?

I felt that while the possibility wasn't negligible, it was at least wishful thinking.

She and Ji Xia grew up in the laboratory. As a magical girl who awakened her mind-reading ability very early in the laboratory, she also knew about Ji Xia's mind-reading ability—which was the ability to mildly hypnotize and suggest things to ordinary people, an ability so weak that it was even ineffective against magical girls.

In other words, Ji Xia defeated two "Eternal Radiance" level magical girls using a mental image that was completely unhelpful in combat, even though her Kaihua realm was only at the "Blooming" level.

This is simply not possible.

Either she failed to defeat the Fallen Celestial Authority and the Fallen Celestial Pivot, but she successfully escaped their attack and ran away.

Although this sounds...likely unlikely, it at least sounds more likely than Ji Xia defeating the two of them.

However, judging from Ji Xia's unhurried attitude at the moment... she doesn't seem to have escaped death at all.

Moreover, even if she did escape, the Fallen Heavenly Authority and the Fallen Heavenly Pivot would be chasing after her, and they would not let Ji Xia escape like this.

So, she patted her heart and asked Ji Xia her question—

"Ji Xia... what exactly happened on your end?"
