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

"can."

"Can it be released remotely?"

"can!"

"That makes things easier. I'll find an opportunity to distract them, and you find a way to control them. An Yan, you seize the moment when Xiao Lian has them under control and unleash your ultimate move... Understand?"

Ron tried to explain his tactics in concise terms.

The three have different abilities after transforming, with An Yan having the highest attack power and Ron having the greatest versatility.

As for Xiao Lian, she should be a support/control type character.

In terms of gameplay, the support role is to control the enemy, while the damage dealer is to deal damage. It's that simple.

"Understood!"

An Yan understood Ron's intentions immediately.

The same goes for Chen Xiaolian.

Once he was sure that both of them understood what he meant, Ron took a deep breath, stomped his right foot forward, and instantly a cold frost filled his vision, rising up in a chilling mist!

Ultimate move: Frost Stomp!

"Hmph, a thousand threads intertwined!!"

As Ron unleashed his attack, Onigumo roared, and countless threads spread out from him towards Ron.

The silk threads were extremely hard and numerous, like bullets flying into the cold mist, leaving trails in the white ice.

However, when the silk threads flew into the smoke, the scene that Onigumo had envisioned—piercing everyone with the silk threads—did not happen.

Instead, a blue light shot out from the ice mist at incredible speed!

The ice froze on the ground, turning the entire land into a place like an ice rink.

Ron darted across the ice rink, his body low to the ground, deftly dodging all the incoming silk threads as he glided toward the Ghost Spider!

As Ron glided toward Oni Spider, he did not stop his attacks.

He held his own pair of daggers in his hands, the frost spreading across them making them appear longer.

He slashed at the silk threads, breaking through all obstacles that approached him, charging forward as if he wanted to perish together with the demon spider!

"madness!"

Ghost Spider snorted coldly, showing disdain for Ron's attack.

Ron could easily cut a single thread, or several or a dozen threads, but what if there were hundreds or thousands of threads together?

At the front of the spider's body beneath the Ghost Spider, an organ resembling a jet nozzle was exposed. Then, more white silk threads shot out, like a white tide, splashing towards Ron!

“€€€€Silk Tide!”

Onigumo shouted out the name of the attack.

The wave of spider silk, which swept in without leaving any gaps, completely blocked Ron's view from all directions!

Too late, there's no escaping it!

But... Ron never intended to run away!

As the ice froze, the blue-clad warrior abruptly stopped, bending down sharply and slamming one hand onto the ground.

boom! !

White frost instantly covered him, freezing him inside. Countless spider silks condensed above the frost, but did not touch Ron's body in the slightest!

Ultimate move: Ice Guardian!

"Ha, so you've locked yourself in a cage? That saves me the trouble."

Seeing Ron freeze himself with frost, Onigumo laughed mockingly.

Inside the frost-covered ice, Ron's expression remained unchanged; he simply stared intently at the back of Onigumo...

Ghost Spider noticed Ron's gaze and finally realized that, from the moment he appeared until now, it seemed that only Ron had appeared.

What about the remaining two Phantom Beast Warriors?

Thinking of this, Onigumo immediately turned his head to look behind him, and saw An Yan raising his greatsword, ready to strike!

So they were planning a sneak attack... No, wait!!!

When Onigumo saw An Yan, he felt a moment of relief.

Because compared to an unknown attack, seeing the enemy use their moves firsthand is obviously much more reassuring.

But it was this momentary relaxation that cost Onigumo the price!

*Pfft!*

The moment Onigumo turned to look at An Yan, an arrow formed from pink light flew out from the dissipating ice mist.

The arrow, with a heart-shaped tip, flew at an extremely fast speed; it was almost a flash of light before the heart-shaped arrow pierced through Onigumo's heart in the next second!

The ultimate weapon – the Arrow of Love!

Chen Xiaolian's figure appeared in the icy fog.

She hovered in mid-air, bow in both hands, her gaze fixed coldly on the demon spider.

The beautiful and somewhat cute longbow is Chen Xiaolian's exclusive weapon, just like An Yan's greatsword and Ron's twin daggers.

At that moment, the arrow shot from this bow struck Onigumo's vital point, and the power of love contained within it stunned Onigumo once again!

An Yan... had already made preparations!

"Ultimate Kill"

With his right foot planted on the ground, flames coiled around his body, illuminating the area where the moonlight had been blocked by the spiderweb cage.

Accompanied by the light of flames, An Yan transformed into a massive, rampaging fireball, crashing fiercely into the controlled Ghost Spider!

A distance of ten meters is a long distance, but under An Yan's moves, it seems as close as if they were inches apart.

With a single step, An Yan was already in front of Ghost Spider.

Immediately afterwards, An Yan swung his greatsword, and light and flames exploded on the Ghost Spider, splitting it in two!

"A flash of light!"

After doing all this, An Yan called out the name of the move.

Illuminated by the firelight, Onigumo's body exploded, turning into light and flames that dissipated in the air.

…So, you guys really have to shout out the names of your moves?

After everything was over, Ron, still inside the ice, couldn't help but complain again.

But then again.

Shouting out the name of a move when using it... that seems to be a common trope in children's anime.

Well, all I can say is that it has that flavor.

Chapter 24 Evolution and Return

The morning light shines on Insect Baby Village.

In Bug Baby Village, Ron and the others stood before the newly erected grave, bowing their heads in silent mourning.

There are no customs like burial in the world of fantasy beasts.

After death, all mythical beasts transform into pure fantasy energy, returning to the world and to their birthplace, where they are reborn and form new mythical beasts.

So this grave wasn't built by the baby insects; it was built by Chen Xiaolian.

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone I know die in front of me."

After a moment of silence, Chen Xiaolian said softly.

For most children, the concept of 'death' is very distant. Even if they hear that a relative has died, they don't understand what it means.

They don't truly understand the meaning of death unless it's a close relative who dies.

Chen Xiaolian and the others live in a peaceful world, the same peaceful world as the one Ron lived in before he traveled through time.

They have their own families and relatives, and their friends and family are all alive and well, so they never experience death.

Until now.

They saw someone they knew die right in front of them.

Ron didn't know if this was part of growing up, because he couldn't remember when he truly understood the concept of death in his previous life.

In any case, Ron witnessed the deaths of many people around him in this lifetime.

"...At least, she didn't die in pain."

Ron said softly.

What she got in return was a glare from Chen Xiaolian: "You really don't know how to comfort people."

"..."
