My fiancée Yukino

Looking at Aqua, Kazuma clenched his fist and said, "It's up to you, Aqua!"

Aqua belatedly realized what was happening and clapped her hands excitedly: "Haha, as expected, it all comes down to this goddess!"

Then, a dazzling white light shone from his right hand, and he charged toward the headless knight who was preparing to unleash magic.

"Die, under this curse!"

When the Headless Horseman unleashed his curse magic, Darkness, along with Aqua, rushed forward first and stood in front of Megumin without hesitation.

Dark curse magic instantly enveloped Darkness, causing her to scream in agony.

Seeing this, the headless knight said in surprise, "Oh? You actually dare to come up and resist without fear of death. But it doesn't matter. You will die in a week! Little girl of the Crimson Demon Clan, watch carefully. Your companions are all because of your fault. They will suffer immense pain for the next week and then die in endless torment! If you want your companions to live, come to my castle alone within a week. If you can walk up to me by yourself, I will lift the curse on your companions!"

"Darkness!"

Kazuma was also surprised by this scene and quickly ran over to help Darkness, who had fallen to the ground.

Meanwhile, Luo Bai, without anyone noticing, quietly arrived behind the headless knight and blocked his path.

Just as the headless knight was about to leave, he turned around and saw Luo Bai appear there.

"Oh? Another one who's not afraid of death?"

Luo Bai calmly looked at the headless knight in front of him and said, "You don't really think your curse magic is invincible, do you? Aqua, hurry up and remove the curse, then we'll take care of this guy and go back to the guild for a victory celebration."

Aqua nodded confidently, then raised her staff and said, "Divine Dispel!"

A magical aura, imbued with divine light, shone from Aqua's staff, illuminating Darkness. Within seconds, it expelled a dark, cursed magical force from Darkness, leaving the headless knight stunned.

"This, how is this possible? How could you break my magic so easily!"

Holding her staff in one hand, Aqua said smugly, "Hmph, I am a high priest. A mere curse is nothing to me; it can be easily removed."

"High Priest? I never imagined that such a lowly place as Axel would have such a high-ranking profession."

The headless horseman finally put aside his disdain for Axel and looked at the adventurers seriously.

"Since that's the case, then we can't look at you with the same mindset we had at the beginning. Let's start with you!"

After saying that, he raised his greatsword, mounted his warhorse, and charged towards Luo Bai.

Seeing the headless knight with an indomitable spirit, Luo Bai remained calm and instantly summoned his Nichirin Blade.

"Breath of the Sun..."

He took a deep breath, and scorching flames erupted instantly, slashing towards the headless knight.

"Fire Dance!"

A dazzling display of fiery blade light appeared before the eyes of all the adventurers, leaving them all stunned.

Even the headless knight was intimidated by Luo Bai's strength and could only use his greatsword to block his body in order to withstand Luo Bai's attack.

"Defense alone won't be enough against me!"

With a slash that struck the opponent's massive, door-like sword, Luo Bai raised his free left hand forward, unleashing his superpowers to condense the air into an air cannon-like attack that sent the headless knight and his warhorse flying.

"boom!"

After flying more than ten meters and landing on the ground, the headless knight stared at Luo Bai in shock at the head he was holding in his arms.

"Such formidable strength, such high-speed slashes, immense power, and unique abilities—you really are a newcomer?"

With his Nichirin Blade slung over his shoulder, Luo Bai chuckled, "Of course, I haven't taken on many adventurer quests. So, want to keep fighting? If you surrender, we'll treat prisoners well."

"Hahaha, you're dreaming! I'm Beldia, a high-ranking officer in the Demon King's army. There's no way I'd surrender. Now, let's begin round two! Come forth, my followers!"

The headless knight waved his hand, and black mist spread out, causing skeleton soldiers to emerge from the ground, instantly forming an undead army.

Luo Bai brandished his Nichirin Blade and said, "Kazuma, you can take care of the soldiers. I'll take care of the headless knight."

After saying that, flames enveloped his entire body, transforming him into a fire-man, and he charged into the air towards the headless knight.

After sending out his undead soldiers, the headless knight charged at Luo Bai again. Although Luo Bai's strength had startled him, the headless knight now had a general understanding of the situation and immediately switched from defense to offense.

Although it's a heavy greatsword, the headless knight is incredibly fast.

If it weren't for Luo Bai, any other adventurer would most likely have been defeated in one move.

The Headless Horseman was right about one thing: nine out of ten adventurers on Axel's side were indeed novices.

Even Huihui is considered a novice with a low level, but she has a powerful burst magic attack, and she has put all her skill points into burst magic, so her damage is the highest among these adventurers.

Unfortunately, she had already used it once today and couldn't unleash the Explosion spell a second time, so she had to rely on other adventurers to fight against the undead soldiers.

Using the Breath of the Sun, combined with his own flame form, Luo Bai successfully suppressed the headless knight after fifteen moves.

With a single slash, Luo Bai deflected the opponent's greatsword, then kicked the warhorse beneath the headless knight. Flames spread and ignited the horse, forcing the headless knight to jump off.

Looking at the battlefield on the other side, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Your soldiers are now less than one-tenth of their original number. Do you still want to continue?"

"..."

The headless knight hadn't expected that there were so many priests on Axel's side, and even a high priest of a higher rank, who naturally countered his undead soldiers.

"Hmph, don't think you can make me surrender like this, that's impossible!"

After saying that, he rushed forward again.

Unfortunately, Luo Bai had already figured out the opponent's fighting style. With the high-speed evasion of Sun Breathing: Phantom Sun Wheel, Luo Bai easily found the headless knight's weakness, cut off the opponent's left arm with a single slash, and then kicked the falling headless knight's head towards Aqua.

"Aqua, it's up to you now!"

Volume 1: Chapter 488 Successfully Resolved (2/2)

Seeing the headless rider's head flying towards her, Aqua nodded excitedly: "No problem, watch me!"

Raising her staff high, Aqua aimed at the head that was screaming and flying towards her, and unleashed her magic.

"Holy Exorcism Technique!"

A beam of holy magical light shot towards the head, while also targeting the headless knight in a straight line behind it.

"Ugh!!! No!!!"

!!

Amidst the agonizing screams, the headless rider's head and body were gradually purified by Aqua, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the world.

The battle with the headless knight, a cadre of the Demon King's army, has finally come to an end.

After watching the headless horseman completely disappear and the undead warhorse being burned and destroyed by him, Luo Bai transformed back into human form, stretched, and said, "Done, done. This guy did have some strength."

As the headless horseman was defeated, the adventurers cheered excitedly.

This is a high-ranking officer in the Demon King's army, not just some random henchman. Even in other powerful cities, he wouldn't be so easy to deal with.

As a result, they defeated a headless horseman so quickly in their city of Axel, which was basically a beginner's village.

Even though they didn't solve it themselves, that didn't stop these adventurers from being excited.

Cheers rang out as they returned to the city and back to the guild.

Meanwhile, the guild and the lord of Axel also learned of the victory over the Demon King's army officers and sent a large sum of money as a reward to Luo Bai and Kazuma's squad.

3 million Eris? That many?!

Kazuma stared wide-eyed at the amount of money that had been delivered; he had never seen so much money in his life!

Luo Bai smiled and looked at Kazuma and the others: "As for this money, I'll take 100 million, and the remaining 200 million can be divided among you, Kazuma and the others. We haven't settled on a place to live yet, so let's use this money to buy a nice place in Axel and settle down first."

Kazuma knew that with Luo Bai's strength, making money was easy for him, so he didn't care at all. Besides, Luo Bai was from another world and wouldn't stay here forever, so he didn't hesitate.

"I understand, then we won't stand on ceremony!"

After Luna, the receptionist, divided the reward into two parts, Kazuma received his share, which belonged to his team. He couldn't let Aqua have this money; otherwise, it would be spent in no time.

Next up was the guild's celebration. A big meal was brought out, and everyone drank and celebrated joyfully.

Luo Bai was also sitting with He Zhen, drinking and chatting.

After a while, several male adventurers who were on good terms with each other also came over with wine glasses.

"Haha, Kazuma's made some money now, so he should have his own place to live soon, right? The good life is just around the corner!"

One of the bearded adventurers patted Kazuma on the shoulder with a cryptic smile, leaned closer and whispered, "I'll introduce you to a great place where you can really unwind later."

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai instantly understood what the other person was talking about.

In Axel, there is a bar run by succubi that caters specifically to male adventurers.

It's not the kind of direct service, but rather a service that provides male adventurers with dreamscapes that align with their desires, offering an immersive experience.

Kazuma, clearly unaware of these things, couldn't help but swallow hard, narrowing his eyes as he whispered, "Isn't that inappropriate? I'm not an adult yet."

"Haha, it's nothing, it's not that kind of thing!"

Then, the existence of succubi was explained briefly.

Even so, it was still incredibly exciting to listen to.

Unable to resist swallowing, Kazuma nodded and said, "No problem, we'll go together!"

Looking towards Luo Bai, He Zhen asked in a low voice, "Brother Luo Bai, do you want to come along too?"

Luo Bai smiled and shook his head: "I'm not single, why would I need this? You can go by yourself, He Zhen."

"Ah, that's true, Brother Luo Bai, you have quite a harem." Speaking of this, Kazuma took a big gulp of beer with envy. "Ha! When will I be able to find a partner too!"

"Haha, well, you'll have to work hard on yourself for that."

After having a meal and drinks with everyone, Luo Bai returned to his own world.

When Luo Bai arrived home, the others had already eaten lunch and were waiting for him to return.

Seeing the slight smell of alcohol on Luo Bai's face, Yukino asked with a smile, "Is it resolved?"

Luo Bai nodded, then took out a huge money bag from his bracelet.

"The total reward is 300 million Eris. I took 100 million. In the future, we can buy a house in Axel and take a vacation there from time to time."

Then, Luo Bai recounted what happened in Axel.

Hoshino Ai exclaimed in surprise, "Huh! The Headless Horseman, is that the kind of undead creature with its head and body separated from it that appears in anime and movies?"

“Yes, that’s exactly right.” Luo Bai nodded with a smile. “That world has many different kinds of life, like ghosts, which are quite numerous, and undead creatures are even more common, so there’s no need to be afraid. And that headless knight, to be honest, besides being a Demon King’s military officer, is actually quite funny. He had his castle bombarded by Megumin’s explosion magic for several days, which is why he couldn’t stand it anymore and came over. Moreover, he didn’t even know Axel’s exact strength beforehand, and his head was completely purified by Aqua’s Holy Exorcism.”

Yang Nai laughed heartily and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the Demon King's army over there is really strong, I would have thought this was a comedic villain."

Yang Nai was indeed right about this; quite a few of the Demon King's army villains who didn't appear were actually quite interesting.

However, Luo Bai had no interest in getting involved in that area. Compared to getting involved with the Demon King's army, he would rather take the girls to that other world when he had time, to explore different interesting cities, and have a vacation or something.

After stretching his arms, Luo Bai looked at everyone and said, "In short, the crisis in Axel is over. Let's save this money and go back to buy a house. We can consider going there for a vacation during the summer vacation. From what I understand, there are quite a few safe and interesting places, such as Huihui's hometown, where the Red Demon Clan lives, which is quite interesting."

After finishing talking about the headless knight, Luo Bai went upstairs to take a bath.

Of course, the matter of the succubus shop could not be revealed. Even if Luo Bai himself didn't care, it would still affect the male adventurers in Axel.

Those succubi are all female bodhisattvas.

Volume 1: Chapter 489 Going on a Date (1/2)

On Monday, Luo Bai arrived at school.

The third semester doesn't have many courses, but it's still relatively easier compared to Luo Bai, since many people are already feeling the pressure of advancing to higher education.

Luo Bai naturally didn't have this kind of pressure. After arriving at the classroom and putting down his schoolbag, Luo Bai was already thinking about what to do during the short spring break.

Mai's University of Tokyo admission results should be announced around the end of February or the beginning of March. During this time, you can go and decorate the house in Tokyo that you just finished renovating.

Although the renovation is complete, apart from the living room, the other bedrooms and study haven't been furnished yet, and no furniture has been purchased. Luo Bai and his family will have to choose these things themselves.

Besides furnishing the house in Tokyo, the next thing is to buy a house in Axel, and if there's any extra time, we can travel there. We've only briefly explored Axel and the surrounding area; we haven't really gone anywhere else.

Oh right, Hoshino Ai's new album is about to start recording, and I'll definitely be there to support her.

So, there are three things involved.

And that's not all; in his free time, he definitely has to go on dates with Yukino, Haruno, Shinobu, and Mai.

Relationships also need to be carefully maintained.
