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

"Oh no... Transform!!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, An Yan instantly transformed.

Ron did not hesitate and, together with An Yan, completed their transformations at almost the same time.

The red and blue warriors reappeared, and Onigumo, who witnessed this from outside, laughed loudly:

"Hahaha! It really is a Mythical Beast Warrior! Looks like my luck isn't so bad after all!"

Ghost Spider laughed loudly, and several strands of spider silk shot down towards An Yan and Ron at the same time.

Ultimate move: Spider Silk Combo!

Clumps of spider silk flew towards the two phantom beast warriors like bullets.

Ron was the first to react, stepping forward with his right foot, the cold frost spreading beneath his feet and extending upwards.

In an instant, an ice wall made of ice appeared in front of them, blocking all the spider silk.

The ice wall blocked the spider silk bullets, and An Yan, who was behind Ron, leaped over the ice wall and launched an attack on the Ghost Spider.

"Flaming Kick!"

An Yan shouted and made a flying kick gesture, with flames burning around his kicking foot.

This is the same move that defeated the Roaring Bear: the Flaming Kick.

So, do you have to shout out the name of the move when you use it?

Upon hearing An Yan call out the name of the move, Ron mentally complained again, but despite his complaints, Ron's actions were anything but slow.

While An Yan and Ghost Spider were fighting, Ron raised his hand, and ice condensed in the sky with his gesture, forming scattered ice blades.

Ultimate Skill: Ice-Breaking Flying Blade!

The ice blade moved according to Ron's thoughts, severing all the spider silk binding the baby insect, Chen Xiaolian, and Jiang Chen in a short instant.

"Quick, get everyone hidden!"

Ron, having freed everyone from their restraints, immediately called out to the people behind him.

Jiang Chen nodded immediately and began to disperse the baby insects, while Chen Xiaolian collapsed to the ground, shouting loudly:

"No way! I'm terrified of bugs, and I can't even stand up right now! And what is this thing?! It's disgusting!"

Chen Xiaolian shouted, pointing her finger at the ghost spider.

Compared to ordinary spiders, the half-human, half-spider ghost spider is significantly more terrifying.

Chen Xiaolian already has a phobia of insects, and perhaps also arachnophobia. The fact that she didn't faint immediately upon seeing the ghost spider, but instead shouted loudly with great energy, is already quite remarkable.

Ron had no pressure about what the other person thought, given that the child was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

He stated directly:

"This is a phantom beast just like the Thorn Witch from before, and it's probably even more troublesome! Anyway... you're all out of combat right now, so stay put and wait until we've dealt with it before you..."

boom! !

"?!"

Ron was interrupted for the second time.

This time, it was An Yan who interrupted Ron's conversation, flying back.

An Yan, who had just performed a fiery flying kick on the Oni Spider, flew back at an even faster speed than when he had kicked it.

His body was covered in spider silk as he hurled it at Ron, striking him precisely.

Ron was interrupted by An Yan, and at the same time, he rolled around with An Yan until they crashed into the wall of insect silk in the distance before stopping.

All of this happened in a very short time, and he only realized what was happening after Ron and An Yan stopped.

No, buddy!

Why did you get the short end of the stick again?!

Aside from the initial battle against the Roaring Bear and the battle against the Night Wolves outside the Insect Baby Village, where An Yan dealt with them with ease, An Yan was able to eliminate them with ease.

Facing the Thorn Witch and the Ghost Spider, An Yan seemed to be the first to lose both times.

It's normal for the protagonist to frequently encounter setbacks.

But you lost way too fast this time!

You're such a loser!

Chapter 22 The Pink Warrior, the Heart-Loving Butterfly

"The power is good, but it's still a bit lacking."

After knocking An Yan away, and incidentally also knocking Ron away, Onigumo uttered this classic line from a villain after knocking the protagonist away.

Looking at Onigumo's chest again, although there was a charred patch from the flames, it didn't look too bad overall. Clearly, An Yan's Knight... Flame Kick hadn't caused any significant damage to Onigumo.

Actually, Ron can't really blame An Yan for being humiliated.

Ultimately, An Yan's overall strength is still a bit lacking compared to the Mythical Beast level. Although with the support of the Mythical Beast Warrior's power, An Yan was able to upgrade the level of the Crimson Flame Lion that he fused with to the Fantasy level, compared to the true Fantasy level, An Yan is not as strong as one might imagine.

In addition, An Yan is still a child and has no combat experience at all. On the other hand, Ghost Spider looks like a veteran of countless battles.

It's perfectly normal for An Yan to lose.

However, even so...

"You seem to have tricked me too!"

Ron collided with An Yan and crashed into the spider web behind them.

It was at the very moment they collided with the spider web that both of them were bound by it. Unfortunately, An Yan was right on top of him, and Ron couldn't use his special move to break free from the web.

In other words, An Yan's collision just now perfectly controlled two of his own characters who had combat capabilities.

Awesome!

Ron really wanted to praise An Yan, but now was clearly not the time.

Seeing that Ron and An Yan were bound by the insect silk, Oni Spider did not immediately finish them off. He seemed to think that victory was in his grasp. He stopped looking at An Yan and Ron and turned to look in the direction of Chen Xiaolian and her group.

The baby insects huddled together, shivering. Jiang Chen stood in front of them, while Chen Xiaolian was too weak to stand up.

At the crucial moment, it was the butterfly fairy who blocked the path of the demon spider:

"Wait! You promised! You said you'd let these children go if we listened to you! You can't go back on your word!"

The butterfly fairy stretched out her arms, blocking the ghost spider's path.

Her petite body contrasted sharply with the enormous size of the Oni Spider, making it clear to anyone that the Butterfly Fairy was no match for the Oni Spider.

But she still protected the baby insects behind her.

Because she is the guardian of this place.

"Hmph, how foolish." Ghost Spider reached out and grabbed the Butterfly Fairy in his hand. He pulled the Butterfly Fairy in front of him, his smile sinister and terrifying. "Don't you understand? You were just a pawn I used to deceive the Phantom Beast Warriors. Now that the Phantom Beast Warriors have been captured, you... are useless now."

"What……?"

The butterfly fairy stared at the ghost spider in disbelief.

Only now did she realize that perhaps Onigumo never intended to let them go in the first place.

But it's too late to realize this now.

The spider demon's hand exerted force, and cracks appeared on the butterfly fairy's petite body.

Ron, who witnessed all of this, felt something was amiss.

Why does it feel like... the butterfly fairy is about to die...?

Ron's intuition proved correct.

Under Ron's watchful gaze, and under the watchful gaze of the baby insects and the other phantom beast warriors, a very soft 'bang' was heard.

In Onigumo's hands, the butterfly fairy transformed into the purest form of fantasy energy, dissipating into the air.

"!?"

Ron's eyes widened, and An Yan, who had just been struggling to break free of the spider web, stood frozen in place.

The butterfly fairy... is dead?

Wait, wait, wait, isn't this a world for children? How could a butterfly fairy, a mythical beast that should be considered a positive character, die here?

No... no, I was wrong.

Watching the butterfly fairy die before his eyes, Ron finally understood that even in a children's world, there is no safety without danger.

Let's not even talk about Leomon's several near-death experiences in the first season of "Shugo Baby".

Even in other children's anime, there are quite a few positive characters who sacrifice themselves.

Just because this world is geared towards children doesn't mean the main characters and their associates are safe.

If the main characters are truly careless, those around them, or even themselves, could become victims!

Besides, this isn't a real anime world. If Ron continues to view this world through the lens of an anime, he'll suffer a great loss sooner or later!
