My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Chapter 32 The Gray Robe's Balance

The meteor streaked into the deathly black sky, disappearing like a drop of ink.

Everyone, including the gray-robed man, raised their heads and looked up at the sky. The robe covering their faces slipped down to their ears, revealing their corroded and hideous faces—the faces of a middle-aged man.

Seeing that the pitch-black sky remained unchanged, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, the brightly lit sky struck him like a heavy punch to the heart.

The black sky turned bright white in an instant, then was swallowed up by black again, but unlike before, the black canvas was now adorned with a dazzling array of stars.

Stars hung in the sky, then fell freely, growing larger and larger in everyone's eyes.

Rain fell from the starry sky; these were the tears of Asteria.

Xingyu hugged herself, her slender body curled up into a ball, making her appear very petite.

Raindrops formed from starlight fell on Xingyu, merging together to form a giant droplet enveloping her. For everyone else, it was more than just a visual feast.

Each drop of starlight was not a gentle tear to them, but a cold, deadly arrow. The crystals that struck them instantly corroded, penetrated, and dissipated on the ground.

Some people subconsciously tried to enlarge the crystal and hold it above their heads, but it was to no avail. The star-like particles sliced ​​through butter like a knife, penetrating the otherwise incredibly hard shell without any obstruction.

Some, like the gray-robed man, used magical mediums to create shields or defensive magic to block the attack, while others, their blood boiling, wanted to retaliate.

But it was all in vain. Even if it could stop some of the tears, the brilliance in the sky had no end. This "rain kept falling," drop by drop, completely covering the intersection around Xingyu.

"Get out of this area! Attack the magical girl!"

In his panic, the gray-robed man issued two orders simultaneously. Unfortunately, both were in vain.

【Tears of Asteria】The attack density was astonishing. The coverage radius of Xingyu's attack completely covered the entire crossroads. These half-human, half-beast beings infected by the alien substance had no way to escape this range and were already riddled with holes by the raindrops.

The foreign substances in everyone's bodies were corroded to the point of being uncontrollable. Many people had already collapsed to the ground, abandoning their defensive posture and groaning in pain.

Those who still had the strength to fight Xingyu to the death were already too late. The falling water droplets enveloped Xingyu, and anyone who got close enough to touch the droplets would experience the same pain as the person kneeling on the ground.

Several small holes were also dripped onto Tang Ming's arm, and the threads around the edges of the corroded areas continued to wrap around, cover, and eliminate the effects of the spell. Fortunately, he had already escaped the edge after throwing the magic stone, and Xing Yu realized something was wrong after releasing the spell and quickly ran away.

Even though he reacted and escaped quickly, he was still affected by the spell, and his entire body became much dimmer.

He silently leaned to the side, waiting for the void anomaly to recover, coldly watching those around Xingyu, as if they were trapped in a living hell with no chance of escape.

The gray-robed man was certainly not going to sit and wait for his death. His figure kept flashing, and although he was still standing in the same place, the Tears of Asteria could not fall on him.

Just like Xingyu's fierce attack on him not long ago, nothing in this domain can hold him back.

He did not leave the range of Xingyu's spell. Although it would have been easy, dozens of people were under the starry sky, and he had to deal with Xingyu as soon as possible.

The distance of more than ten meters passed in the blink of an eye. Several large hands stretched out from under him, their arms covered with sharp, protruding crystals. Three of the hands gripped the water droplets tightly, burning them and emitting thick blue smoke.

He endured the pain, wanting to break through the opponent's protection as soon as possible. Only by defeating Xingyu could this spell be broken.

Tang Mingxin was on the verge of tears. In his field of vision, Xingyu's timid figure was curled up into a small ball, and the gray-robed man's one-foot-wide, two-meter-long arm enveloped her, the transparent water droplet seemingly about to fall.

Xingyu raised her head, as if waking from a sleep. She calmly met the gaze of the gray-robed man, her eyes dull and lifeless.

Her body was almost exhausted, and the depletion of her vital energy had caused her magical energy to become depleted. She had placed all her hopes on the [Tears of Asteria]. If she could not kill or force her opponent back, she would have no other options once the spell ended.

The gray-robed man continued his fierce attack, but his most proficient skills in illusion and control proved extremely lacking at a time when he desperately needed offensive capabilities.

The seemingly precarious water droplet showed no signs of breaking. He didn't know how long it would take to break the spell; he was gambling, but the situation of the others no longer allowed for delay.

"Priest! We can't hold on any longer!"

The gray-robed man turned around. The barrier protecting the others from the spell was already crumbling. Dozens of people had been scattered and broken by the starlight, and more than a dozen were lying on the ground lifeless. The Tears of Asteria carried an aura of sorrow, yet mercilessly brought punishment upon those infected with the alien substance.

The relentless frequency of attacks caused the death toll to continue to rise. Everyone was exhausted, and many tried to escape the range of the spell, but they exposed their weaknesses and were stabbed through the heart.

As the gray-robed man hesitated, five more of his men let out a wail and collapsed to the ground.

"Damn it! How can you still have so much magic power! When will this spell end?!" The gray-robed man roared insanely, losing all his previous composure. His attacks rained down on Xingyu, but were all corroded away by the water droplets.

Xingyu gritted her teeth and glanced at him, a tear rolling down her cheek. She didn't speak, perhaps because she disdained to reply, or perhaps because she didn't have the energy to focus on him.

Five seconds later, the stalemate between the two ended. The gray-robed man was unwilling to let his men die in vain, and he dared not gamble on when Xingyu's spell would end.

The opponent was the strongest magical girl in Fangzhou City. At her peak, even ten of him couldn't defeat her. Even at the very last moment of his success, fear of her still filled his heart.

"Fine! I'll let you off this time! But don't get too cocky... Newtypes are always the future of humanity, not magical girls!"

The gray-robed man struck the water droplet with great force, making a hissing friction sound. The two men stared at each other coldly across the water.

Xingyu finally managed to open her mouth, her eyes filled with anger.

"You won't have a chance. I'll dig you up and bring you to justice!"

"Hahaha! Give it a try!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's gray robe fluttered, and the entire space moved with the rhythm of the robe. All the spells cast by everyone, including the Tears of Asteria that illuminated the night, flickered and seemed about to collapse.

Tang Ming was not affected by the chaos. He could clearly see the instability of this space, and it seemed that the other party was about to give up.

As the grey-robed man moved, the Tear of Asteria shattered, for the space could no longer be maintained and was about to expel everyone. He used this method to interrupt all the spells, and the remaining people were finally saved, lying on the ground in a sorry state, looking at the priest in the air with bitterness and gratitude.

If the priest decides to abandon them and focus solely on attacking the magical girl, he will likely succeed in the end, but it remains to be seen how many of them will survive.

The next moment, everyone was squeezed out of the area, and Tang Ming could not see anything. He experienced the same feeling as when he fell into the illusion earlier.

Surrounded by gray and black light, his body spun around, and he lost all sense of perception. Blurry pillars drifted by in the far distance, and in a dizzying state, he fell back to the ground.
