Chapter 101: Chapter 85: The End of Evil (4k)
```
Clang!
On the edge of the district, accompanied by a booming cracking sound, the already teetering Magical Barrier finally burst and shattered, disappearing completely.
"It's open!"
"That's awesome!"
Bai Jingxuan couldn't help but smile, cheering softly in excitement. Moco came up to hug her, celebrating the completion of the task together.
Slumped to the side, Tian Sheng watched the Magical Barrier come down; his heart, which he had been holding up, finally found its place and settled. He let out a long breath, then smiled and passed out.
He had held on for far too long.
In the midst of her excitement, Bai Jingxuan noticed this scene. She immediately opened her mouth, but before she could examine Tian Sheng's condition, she noticed the district nearby tremble violently, then ignite with fire-like Magic Power.
The white Magic Power invaded the district, its white brilliance like that of the sun falling upon this place, but it wasn't scorching. Instead, it provided a sense of security and warmth to those within it, filling them with inspiration.
Opposite to normal people, the man in the state of a Remnant Beast felt suppressed. His entire body tensed up, his Magic Power turned cold and sluggish, shrinking back as if facing a natural enemy.
It was an extremely abnormal situation, however, having transformed into a Remnant Beast, he was too numb to realize this.
It still followed its previous actions, leaping with all its might along its original trajectory, charging at Lin Xiaolu.
Dodging the pervasive white Magic Power, this time, it was an attack resembling self-sacrifice: its claws aimed directly at Lin Xiaolu's throat, intending to kill her with this strike.
But this plan failed to succeed. When it sprinted towards Lin Xiaolu, it noticed those shining white eyes that had completely locked onto it.
Lin Xiaolu's heart was filled with rage, but her mind was clear.
Facing this sudden white Magic Power, she felt unfamiliar and didn't know how to use it. Yet, in the midst of battle, with the Remnant Beast's attack imminent, her mind mysteriously came up with the most suitable response.
Reflected in her eyes was the vicious and brutal figure of the Remnant Beast, but what she saw wasn't just the Remnant Beast before her.
In that instant, she was back to that night in Wetland Park. It was the same Remnant Beast waving its claws at her, the same attack about to reach her throat, as though she once again stood before a lethal assault, facing the Remnant Beast that would kill her.
She could feel the cool touch on the hand holding the Magic Wand, which allowed her to remember clearly: facing an enemy far larger than herself, Emerald Sparrow had blocked all attacks with just a Magic Wand.
"Take a good look at my battle."
That was what Emerald Sparrow had said when she first appeared before her.
For her, that was the beginning of everything. And now, facing a scene identical to that beginning, she felt she could offer another answer.
Could she do it? She didn't have a definite answer. But she felt that she had to do it.
With systematic training and more combat experience, she was no longer who she used to be.
So, as the attack came hurtling toward her throat, she raised her Magic Wand.
Clang!
The Magic Wand, with certainty, blocked the Remnant Beast's claw strike.
"Roarrr!"
Angered that its attack had not succeeded, the Remnant Beast roared and howled, lifting its other claw and smashing it down directly towards Lin Xiaolu's head.
Dodging to the side, she withdrew the Magic Wand that had been under the Remnant Beast's claw and turned it around, then slashed horizontally at the beast's wrist.
Clang!
Again, the Magic Wand blocked the Remnant Beast's attack.
Her eyes, filled with glowing white Magic Power, gave her an incredibly clear vision. The powerful Magic Power also reciprocally enhanced her own physical abilities, allowing her body, which was only of seed-level, to match the Remnant Beast's strength in their clash.
Her small frame seemed to contain immense strength, engaged in the most direct and primitive struggle with the Remnant Beast amidst the blazing white flames.
Staring hard, Lin Xiaolu entered a state of selflessness as she deflected all the attacks in a series of collisions. When a flaw appeared in the Remnant Beast's attacking stance, Lin Xiaolu extended the tip of her wand, concentrated white Magic Power at the tip of the wand, and a burning Magic Power Beam shot straight at the Remnant Beast.
"Grrraaaa!"
The Magic Power Beam pierced through the Remnant Beast's bicep, causing it to howl sharply.
Severe pain drove it into a rage, but it did not give up, accelerating once more, attempting to attack Lin Xiaolu from behind. However, she seemed to have a premonition and placed her Magic Wand behind her, perfectly blocking its attack.
This sequence of movements was so fluent, as if there were another figure involved.
"So this is what it feels like... to really see."
Lin Xiaolu murmured to herself, her gaze growing intense once more. She pulled out her Magic Wand, struck the Remnant Beast under its jaw, the white Magic Power surged, and she once again hit the Remnant Beast's shoulder with the Magic Power Beam.
"Hiss!"
This time, the Remnant Beast's entire claw arm was penetrated and broke apart.
"Roarrrrr!"
This time, the intense pain finally awakened the Remnant Beast's original intelligence, surpassing its instincts for destruction and murder, making it realize: It had to run away.
Transforming into a Remnant Beast through the beast's core was not without a price. Besides shortening one's lifespan to a certain extent, the consciousness of the one transformed would become completely bestial during the transformation, and their intelligence would drop drastically.
