Proving one's status starting with magical girls

The sky and earth were dim, and a crescent moon seemed to rise.

The moonlight gently spilled over the golden plain, creating a shimmering, golden glow that made everyone feel as if they were in a vast, moonlit marshland.

A figure with a celestial light between its brows and shrouded in divine light arrived before the witch. She smiled slightly, as if radiating a myriad of colors.

The witch looked at her as if she had seen a ghost. She didn't even have time to bring her demons with her. The silver mist enveloped her again, and she tried to run away.

Yuan An did not make a move, but simply watched her actions quietly.

Silver Mist kept trying to break through the barrier of the material world and return to the magical space in this illusory realm where the moon and water meet. However, with each failed escape attempt, the witch's face gradually became extremely ugly.

"Fellow Daoist, why the rush?" Yue Lin said softly.

The witch stared at her with a gloomy expression for a while, then turned her gaze to the two equally shocked magical girls not far away, before squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth.

"...Good, very good, you actually had a backup plan!"

Chang Xiao clearly considered this newly appeared magical girl to be one of their own.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu stared at her in utter bewilderment.

What backup plan? What are you talking about?

She then looked at the young senior, Bai Chi, beside her, her clear eyes seeming to ask:

"Senior? Is this part of your plan?"

Bai Chi shook his head hesitantly.

Although she did want to transfer a magical girl from the main department to replace Shirayuki, that would have to wait until after this incident was over.

Speaking of which, this one should also be a magical girl, but she doesn't seem to fit their art style at all...

Since they remained silent, the witch took it as tacit agreement, and glared at them with hatred, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

"To prevent me from leaving, you even severed the passage between the magical space and the material world."

"I never expected your Countermeasures Division to be collaborating with the Alliance's magical girls. You've really got a clever plan!"

Yuan An smiled at her inexplicable words and said.

"I know nothing about any alliance, nor am I a member of any countermeasures department. I am merely skilled in some minor Void Sealing Techniques. You are overthinking this."

But her explanation only made the witch Chang Xiao's face darken further, as if her words had somehow insulted the witch.

"Hmph, do you think I'll just obediently surrender just because you say that?"

Chang Xiao sneered, raising his weapon and pointing it directly at the white-haired magical girl.

"Even if you are a magical girl from the Alliance, you are only at the Bright rank at most. The Countermeasures Division will not allow other organizations' Shining rank to enter their territory."

"You think you can stop me, Witch Changxiao, just because you're only at the Bright level?!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already vanished from her spot, her longsword slicing through the air with lightning speed as she attacked the ethereal magical girl.

Her sword strike came so fast and swiftly that even the magical Bai Yu didn't have time to react before the blade was already in front of the magical girl.

The white-haired girl in front of her made no move. The witch felt that she had been caught off guard by her sudden attack, so she sneered inwardly and thrust the tip of her sword straight into the Seed of Hope in the girl's chest.

"If I strike your Seed of Hope head-on, even if you're a Shining-level magical girl, you'll instantly lose your fighting ability!"

She held nothing back, thrusting her long sword forward with fierce force.

The two magical girls below were shocked to see this, but before they could intervene, the situation suddenly changed.

There was no dazzling light, nor any unusual sign of the transformation being dispelled.

The white-haired girl's figure froze as if in a painting the instant she was pierced by the witch's weapon, followed by the sound of shattering glass echoing through the sky.

The witch's astonished expression was reflected on the shattered glass scattered across the sky.

At the same time, a soft voice sounded in her ear.

"You, a person from the lower realm, are far too bloodthirsty."

Chang Xiao turned around in horror, only to see the ethereal magical girl reappear behind her, her expression indifferent, showing no sign of injury whatsoever.

"Playing Music! You're Shining?!" she exclaimed in shock.

But the white-haired girl said calmly.

"It's just a Yin technique."

Fifth-grade Taiyin magic, "Qingyue Liuli Yin Shen Technique".

Although Yuan An does not yet know the so-called magic music, it does not mean that his Moon Lin body is a blank magical girl.

As the nominal master of the Moonlit Palace, if he can't use divine powers, can't he at least use Yin magic?

Although this Moon Lin body needs to be retrained to use magic, Yuan An has plenty of Taiyin spiritual objects, but not much else.

With dozens of streams of lunar energy, even a single strike could create several lunar spells on this alien body.

The witch gritted her teeth and said.

"Playing tricks!"

She leaped forward again, her longsword piercing the white-haired girl's head, creating another shattering sound like glass breaking.

"It seems you mortals are unwilling to listen to me properly."

A soft female voice sounded behind the witch, sending chills down her spine.

She instantly turned and slashed with her sword. This time, there was no sound of shattering glass, and the sword in her hand clearly provided feedback.

But the witch wasn't really happy this time.

The sword was only a foot away from the white-haired girl, yet it could not get any closer.

Two delicate fingers gently gripped her longsword, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't advance an inch.

The witch Chang Xiao was sweating profusely.

But the magical girl in front of him remained calm, holding her blood jade sword between two fingers, while her other slender hand, adorned with a white moon and green glass gauntlet, was held in front of her chest, her pink lips slightly parted.

"amnesty…"

"—The Light of the Lunar Spirit"

A single osmanthus blossom suddenly drifted down before the witch's eyes. Its petals were as white as snow, yet they sent a chill through her body in an instant.

She immediately loosened her grip on the hilt of the blood-red longsword, and the mercury lamp instantly emitted a silver mist that enveloped her body, attempting to retreat rapidly.

But it was already too late.

The osmanthus blossom had transformed into a soft, moon-like white light, instantly traversing a hundred meters and suddenly magnifying in her eyes.

There was no earth-shattering roar, nor any colorful mysteries.

Only one dazzling white light shone in the world.

All sounds are silent.

Seeing the scene before her, the golden magical girl was speechless for a moment.

Even the usually calm and collected Magic Blaze's pupils constricted in shock.

The golden plain that was once covered by the golden rain of "Flower Farewell to Gold" is now covered in a snowy, frosty white.

Wherever that white light passed, the earth froze, snowflakes fell, and only an ice road stretched for a thousand meters, forming a huge ice crystal in the plain.

The witch Chang Xiao's figure was frozen inside, her face still showing fear.

The white-haired girl looked down at the witch in the ice crystal and nodded slightly.

She deliberately reduced the power of her Taiyin Linglin Light to leave someone alive, but in doing so, it looked more like a cold energy technique.

As for whether the witch can come out, she doesn't need to worry.

Those frozen by this spiritual light are unable to move inside, and unless someone sabotages them from the outside, this witch won't be able to get out even in a hundred years.

After casually dealing with the witch, Yuan An turned around and looked at the two magical girls below, smiling slightly.

"Are you the cultivators of today?"
