What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

The Ice Dragon King turned to look at Ron, his dark, vertical pupils fixed on him for a moment before he suddenly let out a cryptic laugh:

"Hehe, leave this to me, Lord Ron. You... can just watch from the sidelines."

"..."

Ron's eyes turned dangerous.

Judging from the current reactions of the Pirate Crab King and the Ice Dragon King, the Demon God is able to communicate directly with them.

But now the Ice Dragon King is resisting Ron's help to invade Candy Castle... Does this prove that the Demon God is actually still wary of him?

Tsk, aren't most children's villains brainless? It's really boring that they actually know to guard against me.

Ron pursed his lips, silently cursing the demon god in his mind.

But at the same time, Ron was also thinking of a solution.

If the Demon God is truly wary of him and wouldn't allow these illusory beasts corrupted by darkness to help him... then he needs to find another way to obtain fantasy-level power.

……

Ron and the Ice Dragon King successfully reunited, but on the other side at the same time...

"Hey! Why are you arresting us?! Didn't we say we were here to help?!"

Flower Fairy and An Yan squeezed inside the capture net, shouting loudly at the biscuit soldiers outside who were responsible for catching them.

The biscuit soldier, dragging the two men, turned around and said:

"Who knows if you're spies sent by the Dark Legion! Our war with the Dark Legion is at a critical juncture, and we can't let any suspicious individuals get away!"

The biscuit soldier shouted.

The biscuit soldiers beside them also shouted, "That's right! We can't let them go!"

"Ah... I forgot these guys are even more stubborn mythical beasts than the Bee Knights..." The Flower Fairy sighed, then turned to An Yan: "Hey mythical beast warrior, can't you find a way to break through this thing and let us out?"

“…They didn’t do anything wrong.” An Yan shook his head: “I won’t use my power on a magical beast that hasn’t done anything wrong. Besides, it’s a good opportunity for me to meet the wizard Macaron through this method.”

Although An Yan was young, he understood that power equals responsibility. Now that he had obtained the power of the Phantom Beast Warrior, he could not use this power to do wrong things.

The biscuit soldiers captured them to protect Candy Castle and had no intention of harming them. An Yan had no reason to use his power to hurt them.

"You're really strange, aren't you? You were able to use a lot of force against the Bee Knight before."

The flower fairy chimed in with her complaints.

An Yan smiled sheepishly:

"They were bullying you back then, and... I apologized afterwards."

“That makes sense.” The flower fairy nodded, then suddenly asked curiously, “Are the other phantom beast warriors like you?”

"Others..." An Yan was stumped by the question.

For some reason, the image of Ron, who had gained power, flashed through his mind—in his ghost angel form—and he immediately fell silent, saying nothing.

The flower sprite blinked in confusion, not understanding why An Yan had suddenly stopped talking.

But the flower fairies didn't ask.

Before she could even ask, a gentle yet somewhat authoritative voice suddenly came from ahead:

"What are you doing? Who are they?"

"Ah... Gummy Wizard!"

The biscuit soldiers immediately stopped and saluted the person in front of them.

An Yan and the flower fairies also looked up at the magical beast that was speaking.

Then they saw a 'humanoid creature' dressed in a magician's robe, holding a curved wand, and made entirely of different colored gummy candies, standing in front of the cookie soldiers' path.

Judging from her physical appearance, the Gummy Wizard is a young woman whose head is covered by a mage's robe and whose mouth is covered by a strange mask, with only her eyes looking out.

His eyes were slightly upturned at the corners, giving him a rather intimidating look.

This is the second-in-command of the Candy Castle, the gummy magician second only to the wizard macaron.

As An Yan sized up the Gummy Wizard, the Cookie Knight was also reporting to the Wizard:

"Well, my lord, these two fellows were sneaking around trying to get close to Candy Castle. We found them suspicious, so we arrested them."

"Is that so..." The Gummy Wizard frowned, turning to look at the two trapped in the net, scrutinizing them from head to toe: "Flower fairy, and... what kind of mythical beast is this?"

"I am not a mythical beast, I am a human! I am a mythical beast warrior!" An Yan hurriedly said at this moment.

He knew that the Gummy Wizard was definitely one of the people in charge of Candy Castle, and whether he could escape through normal means depended entirely on this Gummy Wizard, so he didn't hide his purpose at all:

"We know this place has been invaded by darkness, that's why we came to help! Oh, and I also have a letter from the Queen Bee!"

An Yan immediately took out the letter and handed it to the Gummy Magician.

But before An Yan could even produce the letter, the Soft Candy Magician's expression changed instantly upon hearing that An Yan was a Phantom Beast Warrior. She immediately stepped forward and asked:

"You're really a Beast Warrior?!"

"That's right!"

"But I heard there are many Phantom Beast Warriors, right? Why do you only have one?"

“I got separated from my companions, which is why I came here to ask the wizard Macaron to predict their location…”

An Yan simply stated his requirements.

The Gummy Wizard frowned. She stood up and stared at An Yan for a long time before finally giving the biscuit soldiers an order:

"Let him go, and then... come with me."

The gummy magician pointed at An Yan and said, clearly referring the second half of his sentence to both An Yan and the flower fairy.

……

The naming conventions in the Fantasy Beast Continent are mostly quite simple.

From the Bug Baby Village, which was full of baby bugs at the beginning, to the Mole Cave, and then the Forest Town and the Brilliant Garden, you can guess what each place looks like just by its name.

The same applies to Candy Castle.

As the name suggests, this is a castle made of all kinds of candies.

The castle is made entirely of black and white chocolate, and the ground in front of the castle is covered with rows of brown hard candy.

The fence was made of beige chocolate rolls, and the decorations on both sides were all pastries and candies.

This place is simply a paradise for dessert lovers; you can smell the aroma of cakes everywhere you go.

Even for older people, just standing here can make their blood sugar levels rise rapidly...

Anyway... let's leave the sad things aside for now.

An Yan felt his stomach was about to be filled with all sorts of desserts just from walking towards the interior of the Candy Castle.

Meanwhile, the flower fairies nearby had their eyes shining and were drooling as they shouted:

"Candy Castle... I can't believe I've actually come here! *slurp*... I heard that the buildings here will restore themselves even if you eat them... *slurp*... Can I have a bite!?"

The flower fairies moved closer to the candy magician, their eyes blinking.

The gummy bear magician smiled and said:

"The buildings outside are edible, but difficult to digest. If you want to eat, I will hold a banquet when we get to the castle, and you can eat whatever you want then."

"Wow! Really?! That's great!!"

Upon hearing this, the flower sprites happily circled around An Yan.

The Gummy Magician then said to An Yan, "You are one too, a Beast Warrior. You can also attend the banquet later. It's just... I'm not sure what humans like to eat. Should I prepare some other food for you in advance?"

"No need, no need, cake is fine. The food here is what humans like to eat." An Yan waved his hands repeatedly, then asked the Gummy Wizard, "By the way, are we going to see Wizard Macaron now?"

"Well, but... Wizard Macaron's condition might be a little different from what you imagine."

The gummy magician spoke, his voice deepening.

An Yan's expression hardened upon hearing this: "Is... he also corrupted by darkness?"

"No, it's not that simple... You'll find out when you come with me."

The gummy magician shook his head, not explaining in detail to An Yan, and simply led the way for him.

She didn't take An Yan away for too long.

Upon entering the Candy Castle, we soon arrived at the room where the wizard Macaron resided, a place resembling a council hall.

In the very center is a long table, flanked by benches of varying heights.

At the very front of the long table, on a large seat, lay a mythical beast made of various round cakes, fast asleep.

The body of this mythical beast is made up of three large French macarons, while its arms and legs are made of smaller macarons.

He wore a large wizard's hat on his head and a colorful, wide wizard's robe.

Just by looking at its appearance, An Yan could guess the name of this mythical beast.

"Wizard... Macaron...?"

An Yan turned to ask the gummy magician.
