The brave Simmel wants to resign

He probably saw through Simmel's movements and wanted to use this to absorb the force, then bounce Simmel backward, using the cursed spirit called Ox-Demon to complete the restraint.

Ushioni is a sea monster in Japanese mythology, originating from Toriyama Sekien's "Gazu Hyakki Yagyō" (Illustrated Night Parade of One Hundred Demons). It is said to have the head of a bull combined with the body of a giant spider or crab. Legend has it that its fierce eyes can make people tired and that it can spray venom to pollute water sources.

As a cursed spirit, its abilities naturally originate from legends—its gaze binds the target it looks at, and the closer the target is, the stronger the binding becomes. If it can touch the target and inject venom, it can completely deprive the target of its ability to move.

The ability itself is not complicated, but it is quite convenient, because it can be activated simply by 'looking' at the target, and the poison can successfully render even a level one sorcerer incapacitated.

However, as the object of the spell manipulation technique, it is actually not outstanding.

In this world, everything is about 'balance', or 'equivalent exchange'.

The ability to provide convenience will inevitably be subject to corresponding constraints.

The Ox-Demon's [Fierce Eye] cannot be targeted, meaning that even the caster himself will be bound.

Therefore, the moment Xia Youjie saw through Simmel's movements, he summoned the Ox Demon in advance and, at the exact moment Simmel landed and charged, arranged the Ox Demon, Simmel, and himself in a line, using Simmel's body to help block the Ox Demon's line of sight.

Next, I'll use the curse to knock him away, then get close to the bull demon and inject him with venom. That's how I'll take the first step.

All his thoughts were completed in a short time; Xia Youjie is undoubtedly an excellent soldier.

but...

Click—

(What's going on here!)

Xia Youjie clenched his teeth tightly, spread his arms as wide as possible, with the purple cursed spirit tumor connecting them. He was hunched over, his arms trembling from the exertion, and veins bulging on his face.

His plan was correct.

There was one thing I forgot to calculate.

Xia Youjie's signature move, the Spirit Wall, is known for its 'elasticity' and is impenetrable even to bullets.

However, he was unable to deflect Simmel's kick.

These are the numbers, kid.

Click—click click—

The white boots were deeply embedded in the tumor, making a sickening sound.

then--

boom!

Transparent ripples spread through the air, and Xia Youjie's figure swayed, then he flew backward, turning into a blur as he crashed into a farmhouse dozens of meters behind him.

boom!!!

Another mansion was affected; the massive kinetic energy impact overturned the old house, and lights began to be lit in every household in the village, with screams echoing everywhere.

"Cough cough!—Cough!"

Xia Youjie waved his hand to disperse the surrounding smoke, closed one eye, and wiped his forehead with his arm.

“…”

Lower your hand, and you can see some reddish-brown marks on your arm.

As one of only three top-tier sorcerers in the modern era, he was actually beaten until he bled.

but.....

call----

This is not necessarily a bad thing.

Xia Youjie let out a long breath, and the gloom and irritation on his face disappeared.

Seeing the images of the Kaba sisters triggered all the pent-up frustrations of the past few days, putting Natsuyu Jie on the verge of collapse and falling apart, which led to some reckless timing in the battle.

If you know the other party has a 'hostage' and can't act freely, you shouldn't randomly reveal your hand.

After a brief moment of self-reflection, the man's aura changed... and his immense magical power began to rise and fall accordingly...

but...

Have you calmed down yet?

"Haha, that's great. In that case, let's talk."

Amidst the smoke and dust, the figure gradually emerged.

The edges of the dust clung to the edge of the cloak, swirling and spreading out.

The warrior in light blue walked out slowly, a smile on his face.

"Hello, I am the hero Simmel."

He reached out his hand to Xia Youjie.

"I think you're a good person, let's stop fighting and make up."

Now?

Are you kidding me?

Xia Youjie really wanted to say that.

As a male high school student and a top-level sorcerer, how could he not fight back when he was attacked unilaterally, especially since the other party almost killed two of him... Now there are three level-one cursed spirits.

He was even planning to unleash a top-tier cursed spirit to teach the other party a lesson, but...

Xia Youjie glanced at the two small heads on Xinmeier's shoulders.

"what!!"

Nanako and Mimiko also noticed Xia Youjie's gaze.

The two children instantly switched to Spinosaurus form.

Blow!

Hakimi and Hakimi have similar ideas: simple and direct.

The blue-clad older brother is a good person.

The person who hit the blue-clad guy must be a bad guy.

Xia Youjie: "......."

I bumped my head, which cleared my head a bit after I was in a bad mood. Seeing this, I could only smile helplessly.

"....I see."

He withdrew his spell and raised his hands.

Xia Youjie, who exudes the air of an artistic young man, raised his hands in a French military salute.

"surrender."

"Let's have a proper talk."

Chapter 6 Grandpa Xin Visits the Grand View Garden

"Yes, that's it."

"He said he was... Teacher Moth, haven't you ever heard of such a thing before?"

"Ah, no, I didn't mean to look down on you, teacher."

"......knew."

8 PM.

At the village entrance, Xia Youjie finished his phone call.

His slender fingers casually held the flip phone. After finishing the conversation, he immediately moved the phone far away and hung up with an unusually practiced motion.

(Principal Moth is really energetic; is he getting on in years?)

After muttering a curse to himself, Xia Youjie turned to look at the two people behind him... three people?

At this moment, Simmel held Mimiko's hand on each side, just like an older brother taking his younger sisters on a trip.

Seeing Xia Youjie turn his head, he also took the initiative to ask.

"Is everything alright now?"

"I suppose so. Next, I'll take you to a place called the High School of Spellcasting, where more professional people will evaluate your situation," Xia Youjie explained.

The Kaba sisters were unhappy to hear that they were going to someone else's territory, but they didn't object as they clung to Simmel's arm.

"Yeah."

Simmel, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned, smiling broadly.

"Then trouble you."

Perhaps it was because Simmel's smile was so infectious and reassuring that Xia Youjie's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"Let's go—we'll talk as we walk, I still have a lot of questions I want to ask you."

........................

...........

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

As soon as he stepped through the ticket gate, Simmel looked up and exclaimed in amazement, making no attempt to hide his astonishment at modern civilization.

Countless fluorescent tubes hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire space with crystal clarity, a stark contrast to the oil lamps and campfires he was familiar with.

In the center of the hall stood several thick concrete pillars, covered with colorful posters.

It's amazing!

"what is this?"

Simmel couldn't help but point to the pillar and ask, and Xia Youjie casually answered.

"An advertisement from a travel agency."

"what about this?"
