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

But the result was unexpected... Ron was far, far stronger than he had imagined!

The transformed Phantom Beast Warrior was actually able to overpower a high-level thief! And the fight was quite easy for him!

In addition, Ron's transformed phantom beast warrior, based on the strength ranking system, should be at the level of a fantasy-grade phantom beast, so...

"So, Fantasy level = High level?"

Ron finally managed to grasp the hierarchy between the real world and the fantasy continent.

Based on this calculation, a real-world-level mythical beast is essentially equivalent to a lower-level professional.

Extraordinary-level pets are equivalent to intermediate-level professionals, while fantasy-level pets are equivalent to advanced-level professionals.

In other words, the Legendary level is equivalent to the Saint-level professional in this world.

"...So I now possess the power of a superior?"

Ron was very surprised.

He never imagined that his cheat code would be so powerful, after all, the so-called "Wonderful Childhood Simulation System" didn't sound very reliable.

His potential may even be greater than he imagines!

Because what he is currently fused with is merely a transcendent-level phantom beast, and a transcendent-level phantom beast is enough to grant him fantasy-level strength.

If he can fuse with a fantasy-level mythical beast, who knows how powerful Ron will become!

Although the transformation lasts a little shorter, it's a minor issue!

Numbers are the reason for becoming king!

With the conversion of strength temporarily settled, Ron then focused on his own combat experience.

Yes, he had absolutely no combat experience.

Even though he had experienced several battles in the Fantasy Continent, those were all team battles with teammates cooperating. Ron had almost no experience in individual combat.

In his previous fight with the thief maid, Ron relied on his strength to throw bricks.

He was able to overpower the Thief Maid thanks to his seemingly cheat-like stats. As for his skills... what skills?

Why not just run them over?

I thought it was a speed bump.jpg

While numerical superiority is certainly satisfying, it can be extremely easy to suffer a great loss if you encounter an opponent with similar numerical values!

Therefore, Ron needs to improve his combat experience as soon as possible.

After all, neither the fantasy continent nor the real world is very safe.

In the fantasy continent, Ron will face the Dark Legion.

In reality... Ron faces malice from both monsters and humans.

For example, today's light protection event.

This is an organization that appears to be focused on collecting gifted children, and Denise and Harwick, who possess exceptional talent, are clearly the ones they've set their sights on.

Ron wasn't taken away by the Lightbringer, thanks to the smokescreen Vito had thrown earlier, which classified him as having medium magical talent.

Otherwise... Ron might have been taken away by the maid today too!

Of course, in the end, even if the maid did take Ron with her, she would definitely be destroyed by Ron anyway.

But what if someone stronger comes today? What if Ron doesn't get a chance to transform?

Having superior strength after transformation does not mean that Ron's original body also has superior strength!

Keep in mind that his true strength is only at the apprentice level!

"...What exactly is this Guardian Light Society?"

Only after summarizing everything did Ron begin to ponder what kind of organization the Lightbringer Society actually was.

Huguang... Huguang... Judging from the name, it should mean protecting the light.

It sounds like a respectable organization.

But... can an organization that aims to traffic children really be considered 'respectable'?

……

"As expected, they are those cultists from the Light Protection Society!"

In the study of the manor, Gus, who had just coaxed Denise to sleep, slammed his fist on the table and said angrily:

"They've actually extended their tentacles into my manor! This is simply... outrageous!"

Although his expression was angry, his tone was filled with lingering fear.

If it weren't for that mysterious person suddenly appearing to save people today, Denise... his most beloved daughter, would probably have been kidnapped and brainwashed by the Lightbringer Society long ago.

The thought that his daughter had almost become a member of a cult made Gus tremble.

I was half angry and half afraid.

Gus was both afraid and angry. Vito remained silent for a moment, waiting for Gus to calm down, before speaking to him:

“Your Excellency, now that the members of the Guardian Society have appeared, it means that the manor… no, the entire city of Monk is no longer safe.”

"...Is it that serious?"

Gus, who had just finished venting his anger, looked at Vito in surprise when he heard what Vito said.

The intermediate mage from the Mage Guild headquarters answered earnestly:

"Based on past intelligence, demons often follow wherever the Guardians of Light appear. Since the Guardians of Light have already left traces in Monk City, then this city... has probably been infiltrated by demons."

"Demons..."

Gus looked serious. He sat down and frowned in deep thought.

Monsters are the vanguard in conquering cities and territories. Although they are a great threat to humans, they are far inferior to the demon race. In fact, without the demon race, monsters would not be a threat to humans at all.

Why do I say that?

That's because monsters are weapons of war created by the demon race.

The demons... are the greatest enemy of humankind in this world!

Chapter 48 Are all children in this world so precocious?

Humans in this world have always been fighting against monsters and demons.

But for most humans, the real threat is monsters, and they have seen monsters the most.

For many people, including Ron, the demon race is something like a 'legend'.

However, among the upper echelons of humanity, demons are never just legends; they are 'evil' existing in this world, an existence intimately connected with every human being.

It's even quite possible that demons might be lurking in the city, right next to you.

Because they look similar to humans, their physical characteristics change drastically when they use magic.

That's why Gus's expression was so serious when he heard Vito say that demons might have infiltrated Monk City.

If what Vito said is true, then before the demons are truly exposed, no one knows where he will be hiding or what he will be doing.

All Gus knew was that Monk City... might really not be safe anymore.

After rubbing his temples and pondering for a long time, Gus changed the subject and said to Vito:

"Let's put that aside for now... Do you have any clue about the person who saved Denise today?"

"You mean, the one who calls himself 'Frostwolf'?" Vito also recalled the mysterious warrior that Denise had mentioned, and after a moment's thought, he replied:

“I don’t know who he is. Judging from Miss Denise’s description, he doesn’t seem to be from the Adventurers’ Guild… Anyway, the only thing we can be sure of right now is that he has no ill intentions towards us.”

"Where did this high-ranking warrior... or even a dual-class warrior/mage come from?"

Gus felt a headache coming on.

Senior professionals are not common.

Take Monk City as an example. This relatively wealthy small city has only a handful of high-level professionals.

Including Gus himself, there are only three high-level professionals in the city: the branch president of the Adventurers' Guild and the city bishop of the Church of Holy Light.

While the Monk City branch of the Mage Guild has no senior mages, it does have two mages at the peak of the intermediate level.

The two of them, when using combined magic, could barely be considered as having superior combat strength.

There are only so many superior combatants in the entire city, and even if there are hidden ones, there are definitely no more than ten people.

From this perspective, it seems that humanity has very few high-end combat capabilities.

And indeed, there are only six legendary-level powerhouses currently living in the world.

The number of the next level of King-level powerhouses did not exceed one hundred.

Therefore, advanced professionals are the backbone of humanity, capable of standing alone no matter where they are placed.

Under such circumstances, the sudden appearance of a superior expert who was not officially recorded and easily defeated opponents of the same level is indeed worthy of everyone's suspicion and vigilance.

Moreover, this suddenly appearing high-level expert is likely a dual-profession user, which makes things even more perplexing.
