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

"What... you don't want to do anything?" An Yan asked in surprise.

"Yes, you don't need to think about anything. Just like when you first transformed to protect us, just like when you rushed out to fight the Onigumo for the Insect Babies. You don't need to think about anything. Maybe sometimes you can unleash even greater power."

Ron spoke fluently and knowledgeably, as if he knew a lot about it.

An Yan asked in surprise, "Why are you so sure?"

“Um… because when the protagonist goes into overdrive, they usually don’t think about that much…” Ron suddenly said something that left An Yan puzzled.

An Yan: "?"

"...In short, what I mean is, instead of being timid and hesitant in battle, afraid of this and that, it's better to just follow your heart and fight the enemy, after all..."

Ron spread his palms and smiled helplessly: "Even if you're afraid, the enemy won't let you go, will they?"

……

Yes……

Even if you're afraid, even if you want to back down, the enemy won't let you go.

Since that's the case, then there's no need to think about anything, just like Ron said... there's no need to think about anything!

hum!

The air purifier suddenly lit up, and the power of imagination within it resonated with An Yan's heart.

When An Yan empties his mind and focuses on only one goal, his courage returns to his heart.

Although this is probably only a temporary solution, it is sufficient in the current situation.

boom!!

Scorching flames shot into the sky, enveloping An Yan and dispelling all darkness that tried to approach him.

Then An Yan's voice rang out from the flames, earnest and firm:

"Ron! I...I must bring you back! Fantasy Armor..."

As he spoke, recalling the gesture Ron had used to infuse the energy of the magical beast into the purifier, he forcefully poured the power of the Lion King into the purifier!

A phantom of a lion lit up behind him, and An Yan's even louder voice echoed in the flames:

"The Lion King!!!"

Roar! ! !

Accompanied by the roar of a lion, An Yan, the absolute protagonist of the Fantasy Beast Continent, at this moment masters the second stage of his transformation!

……

"..."

I knew it.

Watching An Yan go from 'confused' to 'determined' in less than two seconds, finally mustering his courage and transforming into a new form, Ron couldn't help but want to complain.

Even though you know that you're the protagonist being unreasonable, it only took you two seconds, or even less, to realize what was going on!

What were you thinking in those two seconds?

In short, regardless of what An Yan actually comprehended, An Yan, who has now reappeared in front of Ron, has clearly made a leap in strength.

At least on Ron's side, with his current strength, he should not be a match for the other side.

The reason is actually quite simple.

A simple comparison will make it clear.

Previously, everyone used extraordinary-level mythical beasts as the carriers of their weapons, which allowed mythical beast warriors to stand on equal footing with fantasy-level mythical beasts.

Now, the phantom beast carrier that An Yan is using is the Fantasy-level Lion King. Even if its strength is not comparable to the Epic-level, it is certainly infinitely close.

At least veteran fantasy-level characters like the Ghost Angel and the Lion King are definitely no match for him.

As for Ron... although he is also a Fantasy-level, his Fantasy-level weapon is not actually a legitimate weapon. It evolved from the original Extraordinary-level Phantom Beast, the Frost Wolf, and it was even a 'mistaken evolution'!

On this point alone, Ron is definitely no match for An Yan.

Not to mention, it all looks like the final scene where the protagonist suddenly gains power and reverses the situation.

After suffering setbacks in the early stages, the protagonist is bound to rise up, so it's only natural that Ron can't beat An Yan.

So what should we do now? Should we try to fight An Yan with the Ghost Angel, or gamble on what other tricks the Demon God might have up his sleeve?

Or... why not just stage a scene where An Yan purifies you, resulting in a happy family dumpling-making ending?

Ron was still thinking when, just then, another figure flew in from outside the Guardian Temple.

It is Mu Dongyin.

And she didn't come back voluntarily; she was forced to come back!

boom!

Wearing armor, Mu Dongyin transformed back to her original form the moment she landed.

She couldn't even maintain her transformation, so you can imagine what kind of battle she went through.

Ron frowned inwardly, then quickly went to Mu Dongyin's side. After confirming that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, while looking ahead warily.

Chen Xiaolian, Jiang Chen, and the magical beasts who came to help have all defeated their respective opponents and gathered here.

At this moment, the demons are in an indisputable disadvantage!

But Ron secretly laughed at the terrible situation.

If it's just that the Demon God's side is at a slight disadvantage, Ron might have something to worry about.

But now that the demons are at a complete disadvantage, they will definitely be safe and sound!

Why...?

This is only the first season! The final boss was defeated in the first season, what are we going to show in the remaining three seasons?!

Chapter 74 Fantasy Armament! Ghost Angel!

Of course, Ron's criteria for judging that he would eventually be alright were not solely based on the off-screen drama setting.

Even without observing from an outsider's perspective, based solely on the current situation, Ron doesn't believe that the Demon God has been driven to a dead end.

First, the fact that the Demon God was able to seal Jumang, a being of the Utawarerumono-level, here proves that he himself possesses power comparable to that of the Utawarerumono-level.

Secondly, if An Yan can use fantasy weapons, then Ron can too!

Although the standards for the Fantasy Armament are not yet clear, the Demon God might have a solution!

So now Ron has to keep playing the role of his 'betrayal' and run away with the demon god.

That is, assuming the demon god will run away.

"Ron! Surrender! I don't want to fight you!"

As Ron was pondering, An Yan suddenly shouted at him.

Ron regained his senses and looked at An Yan again.

An Yan's appearance at this moment is completely different from before.

The original red warrior was rather mediocre, looking like a mass-produced warrior. Overall, it wasn't too different from Ron, with only minor differences in details and color.

But at this moment, An Yan was covered by thick red metal armor, with golden-brown patterns winding and engraved on his body, like the mane of a lion.

The head armor has also changed from a half-coverage armor to a full-coverage armor, and the overall metallic lion-shaped armor exudes a unique sense of majesty.

Behind him, his cloak moved without wind, fluttering and adding to his regal aura.

Lions are the king of beasts, and the Lion King is one of the strongest in the Endless Forest. Now that he has merged with An Yan, he gives people an even stronger sense of a king who looks down on the world.

Wow, is he this handsome after being properly armed?

Comparing his own appearance to that of a second-rate villain from an anime, Ron felt a pang of jealousy and even considered abandoning his evil ways and continuing to follow An Yan and the others.

But remembering his previous decision and An Yan and the others' excessive dependence on him, Ron still maintained a cold demeanor and said to An Yan in a cold voice:

"Don't think that just because you've gained new power you can defeat me!"

Without any warning or harsh words, Ron suddenly rushed towards An Yan after saying just one sentence. In the blink of an eye, he was beside An Yan, raised his right fist high, and brought it down heavily on An Yan's head!

boom! ! !

An Yan raised his hand, and the lion claw-like metal armor collided with Ron's fist in mid-air.

In just a moment of exchange, An Yan was able to judge the difference in strength between his own and his enemy's.

Ron's move was very weak.

No… it should be said that after completing the Fantasy Armor, his strength has increased by leaps and bounds. The attacks that were able to overwhelm him and make him unable to stand up just now are as weak as an itch!

If that's the case... then we can fight!

An Yan's eyes burned with fury as he roared at Ron:

"Since that's the case... then I'll wake you up! And then bring you back!"

Roar! !
