Why is My Magical Life in a Gal Art Style?

The alley was narrow, with walls made of red bricks on both sides. Perhaps because it was difficult to see sunlight here, the base of the walls was damp and covered with moss.

Honglian and Yingzui moved nimbly through the darkness.

Those eyes were crimson, glowing faintly in the darkness. With the aid of night vision magic, the pitch-black night posed no threat to the two of them whatsoever.

Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...

Honglian and Yingzui stopped at a corner at the same time.

The two instinctively held their breath and slowly peeked out.

"The target has stopped moving."

"It must be him."

Honglian and Yingzui both focused their gazes on the short-haired man who was as strong as an ox.

The wild boar had its back to the two men and silently squatted deep in the alley. Perhaps because of its large size, the suit it was wearing looked unusually tight.

On the ground in front of the wild boar, there was a complex magic circle about two meters in diameter. The array pattern was drawn with dark red liquid. At the eye of the array were three fist-sized black crystals. The surface of the crystals was full of honeycomb-like holes, from which dark purple mist was constantly seeping out.

What terrified Honglian and Yingzui was that the mist, after seeping out, did not dissipate into the air, but instead, as if it were alive, drifted straight toward the distant monster.

"That's not a magic circle, but some kind of guiding mark..." Honglian looked at Yingzui.

Sensing Honglian's gaze, Eagle Beak raised his hand without hesitation and pointed his wand at the boar's back.

But in that instant, the wild boar crouching on the ground suddenly turned its head sharply.

The expression on that honest, even somewhat foolish face was now exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.

The wild boar's eyes were bloodshot, and its pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints. The moment it saw Honglian and Yingzui, its mouth stretched to its ears, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth and bright red gums.

"You guys actually made it this far," the wild boar said in a rough voice. "So you're from the Heretical Magicians' Church?"

"You guys really can't sit still. I thought the Mage's Guild would be here..."

Without saying a word, Eagle Beak unleashed the powerful magic he had conjured.

Crimson flames shot out from the tip of the staff, leaving a scorching trail of light in the narrow alleyway, heading straight for the wild boar's face!

However, under the incredulous gazes of both Honglian and Yingzui, the wild boar did not dodge at all. It opened its mouth, its throat bobbed, and let out a muffled roar.

"roar!!!"

Amidst the surging roar, the surrounding air rippled like waves on a body of water.

The flames trembled violently in the sound waves, then went out with a "poof".

"It's been a long time since I've had a proper workout. I'll clean up the mess of you scum with the blood of traitors flowing through your veins." The wild boar slowly rose to his feet, his massive body making him look like a giant in the narrow alley.

After glancing at Honglian and Yingzui, the wild boar quickly pulled a pale red crystal from its pocket and popped it into its mouth.

"You still don't know what a breeding monster is, do you? Today... I'll show you ignorant magicians what it's all about."

The sound of the wild boar swallowing was exceptionally clear in the quiet environment.

As the pale red crystal entered its stomach, the blood vessels beneath the wild boar's skin began to writhe rapidly, as if countless snakes were crawling under its skin, and its body began to slowly swell.

The bones made a teeth-grinding creaking sound, and the body expanded and grew larger like an inflated balloon. The suit fabric was torn, and pieces of clothing scattered everywhere, revealing the skin underneath that was rapidly changing color.

The wild boar's skin changed from its normal flesh color to dark red, and then to blackish brown, with a shell-like texture gradually appearing on its surface. Its spine also protruded segment by segment, piercing the skin and forming a series of sharp bone spurs. Even its fingers showed obvious extension and deformation, with its nails thickening and bending rapidly, eventually turning into a pair of jet-black claws.

This absurd change occurred in less than five seconds.

When the transformation stopped, the creature standing in front of Crimson Lotus and Hawkbeak was no longer human, but a terrifying monster.

Although this monster still retains physical characteristics similar to humans, the aura it exudes is exactly the same as that of a demon.

"This, how is this possible!"

Eagle Beak's voice trembled slightly as he watched the man transform into a monster.

The aura emanating from that monster ahead was undoubtedly... a demon!

How could a living human being turn into a monster?

Eagle Beak and Red Lotus couldn't understand it at all.

"Lark, run!"

Eagle Beak turned around in terror, but before he could take a step, his head spun high into the air and crashed heavily to the ground under Red Lotus's horrified gaze.

As she watched her companion turn into a cold corpse, Honglian felt a chill run through her body.

The wild boar gently licked its sharp claws, its playful gaze about to fall on Honglian, when suddenly, Raven and Nightingale finally rushed over from a distance.

The two simultaneously swung their wands, unleashing beams of magic power that had been fully charged towards the humanoid monster.

"You're asking for death." The wild boar looked at the two beams of magic energy shooting towards it, stomped its foot hard, and disappeared as if it had used teleportation.

In the blink of an eye, the wild boar appeared in front of the raven, its black, sharp claws sweeping out with such speed that they left a trail of afterimages.

Raven's combat experience was also quite rich and sophisticated. He almost didn't think, relying solely on his body's instincts to deploy a deep purple magical shield.

Layers upon layers of runes shimmered before the raven, his most prized magical masterpiece, known as the Wall of Sighs.

However, this defensive spell, which had once withstood the attacks of three mages, couldn't even last a fraction of a second against the monster's terrifying claws, and shattered instantly.

The still-powerful black claw blade mercilessly slashed across the old chairman's chest.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The raven stared blankly down at its body, now split in two, its consciousness rapidly dissipating.

Before it could even utter a word, the raven's body crashed heavily to the ground, turning into a pool of black ashes, its life extinguished.

The nightingale, who witnessed the raven's death, was completely blank in her mind.

Keep in mind that's the guild leader, with decades of combat experience and a far deeper understanding of magic than ordinary magicians.

Yet, this very being was instantly killed by this monster in one move?

The nightingale was horrified and finally realized what was happening.

Without the slightest hesitation, Nightingale immediately mobilized all her magic power, but the boar had already noticed her.
