A magical girl's body was made of magic power.
So while transformed, they did not possess all sorts of vital points as they did when human. No matter the external injury, as long as magic power remained, they could recover swiftly.
To truly injure a magical girl, one had to harm her True Form. To harm the True Form, there were only three methods: wait until the magical girl exhausted her magic power; directly attack her soul; or, if neither worked, attack her Mana Source.
That was what Yuan had attempted just now.
However, damaging a Mana Source was no easy task. Once a Mana Source left the Heart Gem state and fused with a magical girl, it drifted within her magical body in a state between material and immaterial. Its existence was extraordinarily elusive, and its location constantly shifted. Ordinary people had virtually no way to pinpoint it.
Yet Larkspur had felt that her Mana Source had been locked onto for an instant just now. Fortunately, the other side had failed.
Had she not remained calm until the very last moment, mobilizing her magic power under Yuan's attack and shifting the location of her Mana Source, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Even so, with her body pierced through, the Aberrant Beast magic power spilling from the tachi still dealt severe damage to Larkspur's magical body. In merely a few seconds, the wound created by the tachi had become a massive hole and was still spreading outward.
Aberrant Beast magic power was corrosive toward a magical girl's magic power. Even at Larkspur's level, that suppressive relationship still existed. On top of that, the owner of that magic power—Yuan—was unimaginably powerful, so the injury she caused was naturally especially grave.
Only then did Asō Madoka finally arrive.
