I'm a magical girl in the future

Chapter 116 One-Way Summoning

Inside the pharmacy's treatment room, the treatment for the patient on the other side of the river continued.

Suddenly, the chest-patting therapy stopped. Her face turned pale in an instant, and her breathing became rapid, as if she were enduring some invisible, excruciating pain.

"What's wrong?"

Bi'an immediately noticed her unusual behavior, sat up and asked her.

"I'm sorry, Bi'an." She patted her heart and withdrew her hand. "Today's treatment has to be stopped."

She stood up from the chair, walked quickly to the coat rack by the wall, grabbed a white coat and put it on, her composure gone, replaced by panic.

The other side was even more puzzled. She hadn't received any calls or messages, but it was as if she had suddenly learned something.

"Is there something urgent? Should I wait here or go back first?"

He turned around, his expression complex, and looked at her. "This time... I might not be able to come back. You should go back first."

"Huh?" Bi'an was stunned.

Is there no way back? Everything was fine just now, why does it suddenly feel like we're about to die?

"What exactly happened?" Bi'an pressed, unable to simply watch the other person leave without explanation.

She shook her head painfully, seemingly unwilling to say anything more. She walked to the door, her hand already on the doorknob.

"I'm going to rescue someone... This has nothing to do with you—"

Halfway through her sentence, she seemed to suddenly realize something and abruptly turned around—

"No, this matter... might actually be related to you!"

He turned around, clenched his fist, and rushed back, grabbing the shoulders of the person on the other side tightly with both hands.

"Noah is being hunted by 'Future,' right?! What's the deal with that magical girl codenamed 'Ayanami'? What's her relationship with Noah? Why is she being hunted too?!"

Clutching her chest, she felt her body plummeting rapidly. The sound of the wind and Lingbo's urgent shouts instantly brought her back to her senses.

"Wake up!!!"

The excruciating pain of her soul being severely wounded intertwined with the weightlessness of falling from a great height, but she couldn't care less about that now.

In the last moment before landing, she instinctively twisted her body, tightly protecting the petite Lingbo in her arms, using her back as a cushion, and slammed heavily onto the road.

"Bang--!"

The immense impact made her vision go black for a moment, but the soft touch in her arms and the steady breathing told her that Lingbo was safe and sound.

"Are you alright?!" Lingbo stood up from Fuxin's arms, then immediately turned around to help Fuxin up. "You were already injured, you didn't need to catch yourself when you fell."

"I'm fine..." Clutching her chest in pain, she managed to stand up with Lingbo's help. "I promised your sister I would protect our 'family'... Don't worry about me."

Then, he patted his chest and looked up at the enemy slowly descending from the sky.

The Fallen Celestial slowly descended to the ground, seemingly enjoying the chase.

"That's what makes it interesting." The previously listless face of the Fallen Celestial finally showed a serious expression. "If I were just dealing with a 'budding' little kid, that would be too boring."

Fu Xin ignored her provocation and instinctively walked up to Ling Bo, shielding her behind her.

"We don't know how much longer Ji Xia can hold out. You stay by my side and don't leave my side for even a moment—"

As soon as Fu Xin finished speaking, the Fallen Celestial appeared in front of her almost instantly. Her five fingers clenched into a hand blade, wreathed in deep blue magic, and slashed straight at Fu Xin's face—

However, the expected scene of blood splattering did not occur.

An iron fist emerged from the void and clashed violently with Tianji's hand blade!

"—!"

Amidst the deafening roar of colliding magic, a powerful gust of air erupted, blasting the two forces back several meters.

Another "heart-patting" appeared out of nowhere on the battlefield.

The Fallen Celestial was clearly taken aback by this sudden turn of events. It leaped back several meters before cautiously reassessing the situation.

Lingbo stared blankly at this unbelievable scene—

Two "heart pats"?

What's going on? The one who was wearing a sweater and was injured was protecting himself behind him. But the one who suddenly appeared was wearing a smart sports T-shirt and trousers, exuding a strong fighting spirit.

"A clone?" The Fallen Celestial observed for a few seconds, then shook its head. "No, the one that blocked me just now definitely had the strength of an 'Eternal Radiance' level magical girl, not some inferior clone made of spirit... What kind of ability is this?"

"Why don't you try and see?" T-shirt sneered, clenched his fist, and launched an attack on Tianji.

Seeing that he couldn't gain the upper hand in close combat, the Fallen Celestial teleported back behind the man in the sweater, repeating his previous tactic, raising his hand to chop off the wounded man first—

However, just as her hand was about to strike, Mao Yi Fu Xin seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. She suddenly squatted down, pulled Ling Bo to the side, and dodged the attack, causing Evil Tianji's attack to miss.

This precise dodge left the Fallen Celestial in awe—

I teleported directly behind her, and she didn't even turn around. How could she dodge my attack as if she had anticipated it?!

She didn't have time to think, because the attack from the T-shirt was already upon her, and the two were locked in combat again.

At the same time, the sweater-clad heart immediately began to cast spells, and a series of beneficial buffs fell on the T-shirt-clad heart. Meanwhile, various disruptive magic bullets began to constantly harass the movements of the Fallen Celestial.

Back and forth they went, one taking the lead in attack and the other in support, their cooperation was seamless, and they were evenly matched with the evil Tianji for a time.

Although the situation appeared even on the surface, inwardly he was groaning in despair.

The "One-Way Recall" skill can only recall one "self" at a time. In critical moments, it can only recall the "Close Combat Heart" with the strongest single combat ability.

That's right. The five versions of himself each have their own roles: melee, ranged, healing, support, and defense. Theoretically, if the five clones could gather together and cooperate, the power they could unleash would increase exponentially.

However, for the sake of the development of the "Children of Dawn" organization, she chose to scatter her five clones in five cities, each working as a liaison for the organization.

As for himself in Guangyang City... he's the one who specializes in support, and his direct combat ability is arguably the weakest.

Now, the only way to quickly summon others of oneself is through one's own "one-way recall" Mystic Code.

The other "selves" could only rely on the most primitive method of flight to arrive physically.

To make matters worse, Gwangyang City is a newly developed city, and there are no members of the "Children of Dawn" organization stationed there to help.

Currently, my melee self is barely able to hold out against Tianji by "sharing vision" with my support self, but... Jixia's side definitely can't be delayed for too long.

Once the Fallen Heavenly Authority and the Fallen Heavenly Pivot arrive, neither he nor Lingbo will have any chance of survival.
