Chapter 758 - 281: Mo He, Cornflower, and Emerald Sparrow_5

Ta Ming is the name of her Magic Armor. It takes the form of boots worn on the feet, and every time Nim uses magic power, she can instantly teleport to a position she "could reach in the future."

However, with her current magic power, the teleportation distance is only about ten meters at most.

So, even if she uses all her strength and frequently employs the ability of the Magic Armor, when facing pursuit at the Half-molt level, she can barely avoid being caught.

But that's all she wants to achieve.

As Nim recklessly spreads magical power fluctuations, traversing the night sky like a beacon in the darkness, more Remnant Beasts become attracted to her.

The Remnant Beasts chasing behind her gradually expand from one Half-molt to a long pack.

This almost instantly reduces the pressure on many groups of civilians fleeing, but it also makes Nim's situation increasingly tense.

It could be said that she only has to make one mistake, and she would instantly be caught by the pack of Remnant Beasts behind her and torn to pieces.

And once she dies, these Remnant Beasts would no longer continue to chase her but instead attack the crowd.

Nim doesn't want things to turn out like that.

So she is using everything she has learned in her life, diligently applying every piece of knowledge she learned from the Silver Corridor, her sister, and the Captain. She carefully plans each bit of magic power, controlling her magic power output to the limit, just enough to barely escape the Remnant Beasts.

The team behind her keeps getting longer and longer.

Flying in the forefront, Nim, amidst the terrifying roar of the Remnant Beasts behind her, feels her mood getting lighter even though it's an extremely dangerous situation.

She realizes, without a doubt, that she is going to die next.

Considering her true combat power, at the moment she is caught by the pack of Remnant Beasts, she wouldn't last even a second.

The only difference is whether she dies because of a mistake midway or successfully completes the mission and dies after achieving her goal.

So now, her task has become incredibly clear: to run farther and farther.

Perhaps realizing she's already beyond hope and will die no matter what, she's actually feeling up to thinking about other things.

She can see the city turned to scorched earth, see parents amidst the ruins trying to protect their children, reminiscent of her own mom and dad, so she spreads her magical power fluctuations even wider, attracting all the surrounding Remnant Beasts behind her.

She can see many of the streets she has walked through, places she visited with her sister and the Captain, places now unrecognizable, giving her a slight melancholy.

She can see far, far away, around the Boundary Gate, apparently undergoing an earth-shattering battle, so in her heart, she prays for her sister and the Captain, hoping they must survive, safe and sound.

She sweeps across the city like a comet, the scattered embers surrounding her like fireflies, and the surroundings start becoming tranquil, just like Nim's heart.

So close, so very close now.

In Nim's vision, the minefield from her memory appears.

It's hard to tell whether it's fortunate or unfortunate, but when the enemy chose to bypass the perimeter and directly airdrop into the urban area, the minefield was barely triggered, so its functionality is fairly intact.

Nim begins to pour her remaining magic power into the Magic Armor, stepping on her beloved boots to charge forward with even faster speed.

Yet, if this is how it ends, she feels it's a bit too subdued.

Clearly, she had achieved her objective, had done what she wanted successfully; to charge silently into the minefield — wouldn't it be too lonely?

She wants a more stylish, more majestic ending.

That's what Nim is thinking.

So, she starts thinking of her Captain.

Clearly, the Captain is also small like her, yet inexplicably a bit imposing, often subconsciously saying things that sound impressive and atmospheric.

If it were the Captain, what would she say at a time like this?

As Nim pondered this,

The minefield in her vision came closer and closer.

Ah, got it.

She claps her hands suddenly and lifts her head.

The boots on her feet are bursting with their last bit of magic power, the turquoise magic spreading like wings at her heels, lighting up the surrounding darkness.

Nim opens her mouth with a confident expression.

The number tag hanging around her neck flies up with her movement, tumbling in the turquoise glow, displaying the codename of this magical girl on its face—

"Magic Girl Cui Que, mission—accomplished!"

...

...

On the special train from the Magic Kingdom to the Material Realm, Lin Yun, who was just expelled from the Magic Kingdom and abandoned the name Cornflower, suddenly woke up.

She realized she had fallen asleep leaning against the chair, but that wasn't important. What was important was that passage of unfamiliar yet incredibly real memories in her dream just now.

The moment she realized the source of these memories, tears overflowed from her eyes almost instantly, like an uncontrolled tap, streaming down her face.

"Ah, eh, Yun? What's wrong?"

Next to her, An Ya, who also left the Magic Kingdom with her and was heading home, noticed the situation and immediately leaned over in concern, trying to wipe her tears.

"Mission accomplished... Dummy."

At this moment, Lin Yun could no longer control her emotions and said this into the air to no one in particular.

"Eh, eh? Dummy? Me?" a confused voice came from her companion beside her.

Lin Yun just kept weeping, choking up, unable to say another word.

She clutches the simple validation card in her hand, a card with only one word on it, the code name "Emerald Sparrow," crying almost in a breakdown.

As if clutching it tighter would prevent her from ever forgetting the memory behind it.
