The Eye Demon Doesn't Die from the Magical Girl

"Regarding the incident where I attacked you with swords and spears a few days ago, I am indeed very sorry. However, please understand that I have experienced similar things many times before, so I had to resort to more brutal means."

"In my experience, it's not just the outer demons. Some fallen demons also disguise themselves as humans, pretending to be innocent people who strayed into the Gray World when magical girls arrive, and then attack them. Many magical girls have died in this trap."

"Also, I've also encountered an extraterritorial demon who lived in human form and with human values, but unfortunately, her ending wasn't a happy one."

Her words made Yu Ran Chizuru and Yu Mingxue slightly stunned, and they immediately turned their heads.

Several other magical girls, including Milulu, also looked at her curiously.

"So, there were extraterritorial demons like Ji Hui in the past?"

Chapter 343 The End of the Extraterritorial Demon

"Although they can almost be described as rare, there are indeed extraterritorial demons like him."

After thinking for a while, Ophelia slowly spoke amid their curious gazes.

"Although I wasn't present every time, I personally have seen two instances like him. Rather than being an extraterritorial demon, it's more like a time traveler."

"They claim to have been ordinary people before, and gained their abilities after traveling to this world. However, it seems that their worlds are not the same."

"What was the result? What happened to them later?"

Chizuru Hazen couldn't help but ask, but just as she opened her mouth, she reacted and her voice got stuck in the middle.

It is already clear what the result will be.

If they were really still alive, then these magical girls couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

Ji Hui's appearance alone caused a huge uproar. If the other extraterritorial demon was still alive, there would be no news about him unless he disappeared into seclusion.

However, it is probably much more difficult for the extraterritorial demon to hide and disappear than to make a stunning debut.

Seeing Chizuru Hazen's reaction, Ophelia realized that she had a premonition and nodded slightly, confirming her idea.

"Yes, they are all dead."

"One of them died at my hands. While he was in contact with us, he appeared to be cooperating, but in reality, he was secretly using his abilities to exclude dissidents and threaten others. When his actions were exposed, he even chose to defect to the Broken Star Palace and attempted to destroy the surrounding cities, claiming that this was punishment for his unwillingness to cooperate."

"By the time I arrived, many of the Dark Mace Garden members who were originally responsible for the friendly contact had already died, and their families were used as hostages and scapegoats by the other side."

"His ability is to affect the frequency of magic, causing it to go out of control, like a walking detonator. As a result, they became human bombs, bringing greater danger to the rescue."

"So, in the end, I barely managed to destroy him by forcing myself to withstand the explosion all over my body. You should be able to find information about that incident in the Dark Mace Garden's archives. It happened about 50 years ago."

Her words also made everyone fall silent.

Even though they knew that what was actually said had nothing to do with Ji Hui, when they heard this, an inexplicable feeling of anger still filled their hearts, making their expressions reveal a bit of irritation.

"What about the other one? Is it the same?"

After hesitating for a while, Yu Mingxue slowly asked, with a hint of worry on her face.

"Could it be that none of the extraterritorial demons before were good people?"

"If there is, then there is."

Ophelia nodded slowly, causing the others to breathe a sigh of relief, finally feeling a little relieved.

"The other extraterritorial demon I met was a good person. His abilities weren't as vulgar as Ji Hui's, so during the short time they were together, he got along quite well with An Jianyuan and the magical girl."

"Including the battle with the Shattered Star Palace and the collaborative research with the Dark Mace Garden. At that time, we hadn't lost our trust in the extraterritorial demons after several major losses. So, it can be said that we were almost completely on the same front, moving forward on the road to fight against the Shattered Star Palace."

Her words sounded much better than before, but even so, Chizuru Yuzen and the others, who had vaguely sensed something, still couldn't let go of their worries and kept their nerves slightly tense.

As expected, Ophelia's next words also brought about a complete turning point.

"But at some point, he lost control and went berserk."

She raised her palms, causing ripples on the water surface, as if she was recalling the situation at that time, looking at her palms that had turned slightly pink after being soaked in the hot water.

"He was right next to me at the time. Because it happened so suddenly, after he pushed me away, he completely lost control and became a true demon from outside the realm, determined to destroy the world. Aside from barely maintaining his human form, he no longer had any trace of his former consciousness."

"From his last, barely discernible roar, it seems the Shattered Star Palace did something to him. Perhaps they directly took over his body, or perhaps they controlled his mind. The specific reason is unknown, but the result is that he has become a puppet of the Shattered Star Palace."

"So, in the end, we had no choice but to eliminate him. And according to the etiquette of our world, we sealed the scorched earth left from the battle with him in the memorial hall of the first district."

"Now, because it's been so long, even the people in charge have rotated. Aside from those who made wishes to live longer, I'm afraid the only thing we can remember him by is the warning he brought to us."

Ophelia took a deep breath, raised her head again, and looked at Chizuru Hazen and the others who were part of the Silent Four.

"So you should also know that the extraterritorial demons are, after all, summoned by the Shattered Star Palace. Even if they coexist harmoniously, there is no guarantee that accidents like before will not occur. This is why we still call them extraterritorial demons, rather than time travelers."

"There are very few extraterritorial demons that appear in human form, and those that can maintain human values ​​and thinking abilities can be counted on one hand. On this basis, the only one who can cooperate peacefully with us is Ji Hui, who has reappeared. Therefore, no matter what, we must be mentally prepared to prevent any unexpected events from happening again."

"So the extraterritorial demon...will eventually be controlled by the Shattered Star Palace and transformed into a monster again?"

One of the magical girls muttered unconsciously, causing Ophelia to shake her head slightly.

"The sample size is too small, and we won't know anything about this until it actually happens."

"Maybe there is a solution, but it will take time and research to prove it. Before that, we can't let our guard down. That's why I came to take a look."

Her gaze slowly shifted to look at Yu Ran Chizuru and Yu Mingxue, whose expressions had become very ugly.

"Humanity itself is iterating bit by bit, so even the current Dark Mace Garden may not be able to detect this aspect. I am the safest measure."

"If Ji Hui ever becomes like this, I will do everything in my power to destroy him. I can't protect him, but I can't let him destroy the things he cherished in his life with his own hands. This is the best way to respect him."

After she said this, the bathhouse fell into silence again.

“But maybe you don’t need to be too pessimistic.”

"The frequency of extraterritorial demons appearing seems to have increased. Perhaps with this, we can find a solution faster than before."

Chapter 344: Request to Become a Disciple

Her sudden change of tone diverted the attention of Yu Mingxue and Yu Ran Chizuru.

The other magical girls even spoke out in surprise.

"Ah? The appearance rate of extraterritorial demons is increasing?!"

"Well, although some fallen women have emerged, causing greater chaos, judging from the data reported by the Dark Mace Garden investigation, the appearance rate of extraterritorial demons is indeed higher than it was a few decades ago."

Ophelia nodded slightly and told the information she had previously investigated.

"Even with the frequency of appearances of beings like Ji Hui, in the past, it's possible that they wouldn't encounter one for generations. However, this generation of Dark Mace Garden leaders have seen him three or four times in a row. After so many setbacks, they've almost completely given up hope and would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go."

"Although this isn't a good thing for our world, the increase in these incidents can, in a way, improve our understanding of the extraterritorial demons."

"As we investigate more samples, we'll always find some commonalities. Perhaps after two years of research, we'll be able to discover how to break free from the Shattered Star Palace's control and maintain this harmony for a long time."

Although her words seemed to be comforting Yuzen Chizuru and Yu Mingxue, it was like suddenly finding out that their partner had a terminal illness that could break out at any time, and the two girls' expressions did not relax at all.

Including Mi Lulu, who was listening with others, also had a hesitant expression on her face.

Could the loss of consciousness in the dream at that time be some kind of omen?

If this is true, then Ji Hui might be in real danger.

If she had been wandering before, she would have considered leaving immediately. After all, she was just trying to make a living and didn't want to put herself in danger.

But now, with a place where she could live in peace, a group of friends who could accompany her like roommates, and a savior who had saved her life twice, it was impossible for her to leave casually and leave all these troubles to others, both emotionally and logically.

What's more, if it is my ability to enter dreams, then is it possible in the future to further investigate the existence of the extraterritorial demons by peeping into them?

That somewhat crazy idea made Mi Lulu swallow slightly.

She had never tried to create a dream about an extraterritorial demon. Even when she saw that kind of monster, she dared to stay away from it, let alone touch its spirit.

But, but, if I can succeed, wouldn't it be possible?

However, as everyone else was so absorbed in Ophelia's words, no one noticed her reaction.

Ophelia did not continue speaking, but remained silent, waiting for them to digest the content bit by bit.

In fact, these contents themselves are not top secret. With the support of many long-lived magical girls, the various records stored in the Dark Mace Garden are also quite complete, with no gaps in generation.

However, no matter how much something is recorded in writing, it is impossible to understand it more thoroughly than the actual experience, so some accidents will occasionally happen.

But these things basically have nothing to do with her. Her goal has always been to collect points in the process of constantly fighting against the Broken Star Palace, so as to ultimately achieve her desire to realize world peace.

Of course, if one day they succeeded in defeating the Broken Star Palace, she had thought about whether the Holy Spirit Temple would continue to exist and how to obtain performance points, but it was difficult to give a clear answer.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why I have been involved in the battle with the Broken Star Palace.

While she was silently thinking about her own things, Chizuru Yuzen bit her lower lip slightly, as if she was making some decision. After hesitating for a few seconds, she took a deep breath.

"Ophelia, I have a request, I wonder if you are willing to accept it."

Her words made Ophelia blink, and a hint of doubt appeared on her calm face.

"What request?"

"While you're with us, could you please teach me some magical girl fighting techniques?"

Looking at Ophelia who was a little surprised in front of her, Chizuru Hazen also spoke seriously.

"I want to become stronger. Even if the worst-case scenario ends up happening and Ji Hui becomes an extraterritorial demon under the control of the Broken Star Palace, I hope I'll be the one to stop him in the end."

"But as you can see, I probably wouldn't be able to defeat Ji Hui in combat, even in his current form, let alone in his rampage state."

"So I don't want to be a burden anymore. I want to get stronger, at least to be able to cover and even protect him. I want to learn from you how to better utilize the power of a magical girl."

"Thousand Cranes"

Her serious words also made Yu Mingxue murmur softly, staring at her profile with a serious expression as if she had made some decision.

Unlike herself, she already possesses strength and can become even stronger, so she can still move towards protecting Ji Hui.

As a person who doesn't have strong strength, how should I continue to work hard in logistics?

Regardless of Yu Mingxue who was lost in her own thoughts, the other magical girls, after hearing Chizuru Yuzen's words, were also thinking and considering, and also spoke.

"Me too, I too want to become stronger and protect more people."

“%^8≥让我也加<5￡入可以吗？／7{}我?1￥很~5|乖′7↗的，$0*(不会怕±8∝吃苦#$8≌的。#宭∨”

"It doesn't take too long. You can just sit in on the class during the few days you're away."

The constant sounds made Ophelia at a loss as to how to react for a moment. Looking at the girls who surrounded her, she stepped back awkwardly and instinctively wanted to refuse.

However, looking at the determined eyes of Chizuru Yuzen and her previous action of pointing the sword at Ji Hui, Ophelia nodded slightly after hesitating for a while.

"If I just give you some pointers, it should be fine, but I'm not good at teaching, so I might not be able to achieve the results you imagine."

Her agreement made Chizuru Hazen suddenly show a happy expression and nodded vigorously.

"It's okay. Even so, thank you very much."

"It's okay. It's just a small apology. Compared to the money, this makes me feel a little better."

Ophelia nodded slightly, and then a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

"However, wouldn't you better not add substances rich in silver-accelerating effects to the bath? It doesn't bother me, but it might have a greater impact on the average person."

Her words also made everyone else slightly stunned. After looking at each other subconsciously, they found that their skin had already turned as red as boiled crabs. They exclaimed and hurriedly crawled towards the aisle beside the bathtub.

Mi Lulu was so busy talking that she even forgot that soaking in the water for too long would affect the water quality.

Chapter 345 Combat Training

"If the flow of magic power were faster, it would become a form of defense, just like a stream of water, maintaining both offense and defense in battle."

"Don't overly pursue the materialization of magic power. Make good use of the plasticity of the initial state to achieve a faster response effect."

Under the white sword blade, the blazing red flames were easily cut off, leaving Ophelia's skirt armor unaffected as it flew straight towards the retreating Chizuru Hazen.

Chizuru Hazen also gritted her teeth and transformed the magic power that was originally intended to form a flame shield into an ordinary magic shield in the form of energy, which was superimposed in front of her layer by layer.

If it wasn't for training, the scorching flames she had just summoned wouldn't even be enough to force the opponent to raise their swords. She could have withstood the attack with just her skirt armor.

Moreover, the shields she summoned were like paper, and were easily broken by Ophelia's raised fist.

"Don't be foolish and release the shield in front of you. When there's a clear gap in strength, concentrating it in one place will only make it easier for the opponent to break through."

When these words were spoken, Ophelia had already completely arrived in front of Chizuru Hazen, causing her pupils to constrict and she instinctively raised the imperial coin in her hand to resist.

Although she reacted in time, the heavy force still made her fall to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

"Spread out the shields and place them at an angle. It's best if the slope of each shield basically covers the opponent's arms and legs. That way, even if they are broken, it can slightly affect their direction of advance, and the area that can be protected is larger."

2 Looking at Chizuru Hazen who was slowly getting up from the ground again, Ophelia, who was floating in the air, continued to teach.

"Also, your skills as a demon slayer don't combine well with magical girls. They're still only extended through the use of talismans."

"If you can combine your usual spiritual arts with magic in some form, it should be possible to achieve an effect of 1+1 greater than 2. You are only performing spiritual arts in the state of a magical girl, so it seems that the power is stronger than usual."
