Why are the magical girls in your area male?

"Roar!!!"

The torrent of flames continued to gush forth for several seconds before slowly dissipating!

The Night Hound landed heavily on the ground, staggering back a few steps.

The area where its chest and abdomen met was a mess; the armor was charred and deformed, with molten metal dripping from its edges.

The gap between the joints was forcibly torn and widened, revealing charred and rolled flesh and blood inside. Wisps of black smoke rose from the wound, and a strong smell of burning filled the air!

HP-1800!

Huge damage numbers flashed before Yuan Qing's eyes.

"It's done!"

Yuan Qing was overjoyed!

Very well, against these heavily armored enemies, magic damage is still more effective and straightforward.

However, Fireball requires a few seconds to accumulate mana, which is equivalent to the skill's pre-cast animation.

Dealing with regular enemies is fine, but against a boss that is intelligent and quite agile, the few seconds of skill animation before it is cast gives it enough time to run from start to finish, so there's no way you can expect to hit it.

It was only thanks to this move, [mind control], that a tiny bit of time was bought.

Unfortunately, this is all the [mind control] can do against this kind of guy.

The order he had just given was "drop your weapons and sit down," but the result was that the other side was only stunned for a few seconds.

This should be related to the levels of both parties.

The higher the enemy's level, the weaker the effect of mind control, and vice versa.

If used properly, this can undoubtedly become a terrifying control skill.

However, it should be noted that this skill has a cooldown.

On the system page, the "Mind Control" option is grayed out, and a string of small numbers follows it:

0 minutes 58 seconds.

A CD that's about 1 minute long...

One minute is neither short nor long.

It is foreseeable that in future battles, mind control will definitely become his most reliable and insidious trump card.

In a battle between masters, the outcome often hinges on a single thought.

This kind of hard crowd control, when used in that situation, is enough to kill the opponent several times over.

The future is promising! !

Volume 1: Chapter 50 The Sword Opens the Earth Gate! Open!

"Despicable humans!!"

"How dare you launch such a despicable sneak attack on me!"

"I will make you pay a heavy price for this!!"

The Night Hound's roar, filled with fury and humiliation, echoed like thunder through the ruins!

Yuan Qing, who had just caught his breath after the successful sneak attack, revealed a disdainful sneer.

"You still have the nerve to say I ambushed you? Who ambushed whom in the first place?"

"This is outrageous!"

"You audacious human! You killed my offspring and dare to disrespect me, the king?!"

"Today, I will tear you apart, skin you alive, and grind your bones to dust!!"

Holy crap, this idiom can even speak idioms? That's pretty impressive!

Or is it that the system's localization patch automatically translated it this way for me?

“Roar, ahh ...

A deafening roar, a madman's howl filled with endless pain and rage, exploded from the Night Hound's massive chest!

This roar was less a savage beast's howl and more a hellish cacophony of countless vengeful spirits' screams!

"Crack, click, click!"

Its armor, charred and deformed from the fireball spell, crumbled and peeled off inch by inch under the violent energy impact!

The armor fragments scattered like broken eggshells, revealing the dark red muscles underneath, which looked like red-hot irons and were covered with hideous, bulging muscles!

The surface of the muscles was steaming with scorching heat, and the thick blood vessels were pulsating under the skin like magma!

"Roar!!!"

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw and let out another roar!

A terrifying, world-destroying aura condensed into a tangible shockwave, erupting from its body and instantly engulfing the entire shopping mall ruins!

The ground trembled violently! Under this immense pressure, the surrounding ruins groaned and collapsed one after another!

Yuan Qing barely managed to steady himself.

When his gaze fell on the other person again, his expression suddenly darkened, and the brief joy brought by [Mind Control] vanished instantly—

[Lord-level BOSS: The Despicable Night Hound (Red Name)]

【Lv.30】

【HP: 53530/55600】

【MP: 9400/10000】

[Status: Berserk!]

[The target is currently in a berserk state, with all attributes increased by 100% for 3 minutes. After the berserk state ends, all attributes will decrease by 50%, and the target will be in a weakened state, unable to move for 30 seconds.]

Damn it, rampage!

We've been fighting this guy for five minutes already?!

Yuan Qing's pupils dilated sharply, and his clenched fists trembled involuntarily.

The aura of the monster before them had completely changed. If it was a savage beast before, it was now a world-destroying demon king crawled out of hell.

Judging by health alone, this guy is even more outrageous than the level 35 Goblin King on the second floor of the Tower of Illusion!

Most importantly, in berserk mode, the opponent doesn't just gain more health, but all of their attributes!

This means its strength, speed, and even defensive capabilities will double!

Even in its normal state, it's already quite troublesome; now that it's in a berserk state, it's even more difficult.

How can we fight this? How is it even possible to win?!

Yuan Qing glanced at the location where Toriumi Riki was.

The enemy is already making every effort to reach the withdrawal point.

The problem is that the commotion caused by this beast is too exaggerated. The entire shopping mall is collapsing, and several paths leading to the portal are blocked.

Toriumi Ritsuki not only had to find a way out, but also had to avoid the collapsing rocks to avoid being smashed into mincemeat.

Honestly, at this point, it's a miracle she's still alive.

But what happens next is hard to say...

"You audacious human, barely able to save yourself, yet you dare to worry about others?!"

"Today I'll teach you a lesson and show you that the consequence of disrespecting me is being smashed into mincemeat!"

The Night Hound noticed Yuan Qing's gaze, immediately let out a roar, and pounced on him!

"Run! Lixi! Run!!"

Yuan Qing roared with all his might!

At the same time, he pushed [Divine Speed ​​and Ever-Changing] to its limit using magic.

He took off running, retreating frantically in the direction away from the Night Hounds, not daring to stop for even a moment!

If he could buy Toriumi even a second more time to escape, then his efforts would not have been in vain.

However, he still underestimated the speed of the Night Hound.

In its berserk state, the Night Hound's massive body was so fast it was almost blurry!

It appeared in front of Yuan Qing in a flash, faster than the limits of visual perception, leaving only a distorted afterimage in its place!

Yuan Qing only felt a blur before his eyes, and a terrifying giant claw covered with dark red muscles, like a giant pillar of lava, slammed down towards his head!

"Boom!!"

The giant claw slammed down on the longsword that Yuan Qing had hastily crossed to parry!

"boom!"

In the blink of an eye, the incredibly hard Frostmark Longsword developed a dense network of cracks!

Yuan Qing felt a sharp pain in both arms, his bones cracking repeatedly, and his body flew backward like a spinning top being whipped through the air!

"boom!"

His body smashed through a dilapidated wall, plowed a deep trench in the ground, and finally came to a stop after crashing into a pillar that was about to collapse!

HP-1700!

[Warning, your health is below 5%!]

Yuan Qing's vision was completely red, his ears were ringing, and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Damn, they still deducted 1700 from my score even though I blocked it!

If that blow had landed squarely, I probably would have died on the spot!

He had already used up the recovery potions he received as a reward from the previous mission, so he didn't dare to be stingy with his gold coins and quickly bought several more bottles to restore his health to full in one go.

"Damn it, this can't go on. This beast could kill me with one move now, and no amount of healing potions will help."

He looked at Toriumi Riki's location, which was less than 20 meters away from the teleportation portal in a straight line. The problem was that the way upstairs had been blocked by collapsed rocks.

"Things have come to this, let's leave it to fate. We have no choice but to fight!"

With a firm resolve, Yuan Qing roared at Toriumi Riki, "Riki, run! Quick! Run uphill! I'll clear a path for you!"

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Qing's gaze locked onto the stairwell leading to the teleportation portal, which was blocked by rubble. He frantically poured the remaining magic power in his body into the Frostmark Longsword.

"Open it for me!!"

He gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, and with all his might, he cleaved the mountain of rubble blocking the stairwell in front of Toriumi Riki!

"Break!"

A sharp sword aura, condensed to its extreme, streaked across the ground like lightning and slammed into the pile of rubble!

With a crisp "crack," the hard concrete block became brittle and fragile under the chilling air!

Immediately afterwards, the violent power contained in the sword energy exploded, and the huge pile of rubble blocking the stairwell was forcibly cleaved open amidst the billowing dust, revealing a narrow passage barely wide enough for one person to pass through.

Just after he unleashed his sword energy, the berserk Night Hound closed in on him and raised its muscular giant claw at him!

An uncontrollable roar exploded behind him!

The Night Hound's blood-red eyes burned with fury at being ignored and provoked!

"Humans, how dare you repeatedly disrespect me, Your Majesty!"

"Die!!"

A strong wind is coming!

Yuan Qing completely disregarded everything and unleashed a final roar at Toriumi Riki:

"Walk!!"

Feeling the ferocious power behind him, enough to flatten even a tank, Yuan Qing, with no way to avoid it, was already at peace.

With a novice protection period as his trump card, death is nothing more than a man's trick for impotent men, not worth mentioning.
