Why are the magical girls in your area male?

"Snapped!"

The next second, all the ice sculptures shattered with a deafening roar, and the blood mist formed from the frost resembled blooming flowers.

Danzhu stared silently at Yuanqing, her silver eyes revealing a sharp edge.

"Holy crap, I'm so handsome!!"

"Little rascal, aren't you going to be completely smitten with me?!"

"How about it? How about it? Tell me I'm handsome! Tell me I'm handsome!"

Looking at her deliberately feigned cold expression, Yuan Qing couldn't help but mentally rant:

Stop pretending, bro. Showing off like this just to kill a mob is ridiculous...

You think I'd praise you?

Ha, impossible!

I will never admit that my brother is more handsome than me; it's a matter of principle!

Seeing Yuan Qing's indifferent expression, Dan Zhu's eyes darkened, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Just as she was about to turn around and continue forward—

"Whoosh!!"

A sharp sword aura suddenly swept behind her, slicing a rotting hunting dog that was still alive and trying to sneak away in two.

Danzhu was taken aback and looked at Yuan Qing, who was maintaining a cool pose of wielding his sword with one hand.

"Watch out for finishing blows."

Yuan Qing raised his chin at her and smiled, revealing his teeth.

In an instant, Danzhu felt a tremor in her heart and quickly turned her head away.

So handsome...

He raised his chin, but his blow struck my heart...

Damn it, I was trying to charm him and win him over, but I ended up being charmed by him instead.

call.

Calm down, calm down, important matters need to be addressed.

She gently pinched her cheek, quickly calming herself down, and said to the two of them without turning her head:

"Let's keep going, the leader should still be further inside."

Danzhu took the lead, while Toriumi Riki followed closely beside Gensei.

She lowered her voice and whispered in the other person's ear, "No way, Danzhu is clearly a B-rank, how come she's so strong? I feel like I'm not even as good as an A-rank as her."

"You are indeed not as good as her."

"Don't be so blunt, okay? I have my pride too."

"Alright, you don't need to worry about this. As the saying goes, there is a sequence to learning and everyone has their own expertise. You specialize in support and healing, while she specializes in offensive combat, so of course you'll feel that she's stronger."

"I see..."

Toriumi Riki paused for a second, then asked, "So, Dad, what level are you?"

"...I don't know, maybe C-level. Anyway, they're no slouch when it comes to fighting. Don't worry about the rating; it will distort people's efforts."

"Indeed, I never expected that someone as lowly as a C-level would have some valid points!"

"?"

"When you see the boss later, you'd better hide well behind me, an A-rank, okay? C-rank."

it has started.

A lowly position is shameful, while a high official rank is akin to flattery; to be arrogant at first and then obsequious is laughable.

I never expected this guy to come up with such a fancy idea: "Everyone is equal above me, but there are clear class distinctions below me." It's a really abstract, sacred concept that's been sculpted to perfection, with all the elements combined.

If Yuan Qing hadn't known this idiot was joking, she would have slapped her to see if she would still act crazy.

The three continued deeper into the abandoned subway tunnel.

Along the way, the group dealt with several more waves of small fry, mostly by Danzhu; Yuanqing and Toriumi Riki didn't play much of a role.

Oh no.

Toriumi Riki at least gave Danzhu a continuous buff, but he himself never even drew his sword.

Oh, so I was the only one lying down. Oh well, it's alright then.

These low-level enemies were so low that killing them would yield almost no experience rewards, so Yuan Qing could slack off the whole time without any qualms.

So cool.

The further you go in, the more eerie the environment becomes.

The walls on both sides of the tunnel gradually twisted and were covered with dark red vines that writh like flesh and blood. The pungent, rusty smell in the air grew stronger and stronger, almost suffocating.

At first, things weren't so bad, but now the environment is starting to make people lose their sanity.

Yuan Qing felt as if he were walking inside the intestines of some creature, and he never knew when he would be overwhelmed by a pile of excrement.

“Tick, tick…”

The sound of dripping water was exceptionally clear in the deathly silence.

The unsettling, sweet-smelling odor in the air seemed to have grown even stronger.

Yuan Qing could sense that something was stirring within the depths of this deathly darkness.

Finally, they arrived at the end of the tunnel, a huge underground cave that looked as if it had been gnawed out by a giant beast.

A few stalactite-like pale blue crystals hung from the cave ceiling, emitting a faint phosphorescent glow that barely illuminated the space.

Judging from the subtle magical power it emitted, Yuan Qing could easily tell that this thing was probably the magic stone that the president and the others had mentioned.

In addition, a special magical aura emanated from within the rock.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the portal to leave the dungeon.

After looking around, the three of them simultaneously fixed their gaze on a corner of the cave.

In that place, a tall figure was lurking in the shadows.

"That thing must be the leader."

Danzhu gently raised his staff, which emitted a sharp white light.

Toriumi Riki fought her way to the BOSS room while half-lying down, and now she has a clear understanding of her A-rank strength.

At this moment, she took the initiative to stand in front of the two of them, clapped her hands gently, and said:

"Resolve this as soon as possible, then get out. It's really uncomfortable staying in here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Toriumi Riki pulled a gleaming golden greatsword out of thin air and slammed it into the ground!

"Boom!"

The ground trembled violently several times as a result.

Yuan Qing, standing behind him, stared wide-eyed, his mind going blank.

After several seconds, he finally uttered a question that seemed to defy all reason: "What the hell did you pull out? A greatsword?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Aren't you the wet nurse?!"

"But it's cool! Oh, don't worry, this Valkyrie can kill a C-rank dungeon boss with a single sword strike! You little C-rank should just stay far away and watch the show~"

"..."

Laughed angrily.

Captain! Captain, look! The healer has stuck her weapon in the ground!!

Yuan Qing was too lazy to argue with this idiot, so he turned his attention to the BOSS who had emerged from the shadows.

It was a monster that was half human and half rat.

It is about two meters tall, with its upper body covered in dirty gray fur, bulging muscles, a twisted rat face, a lower body covered in scales, and a thick rat tail.

The moment Yuan Qing saw the other person's face clearly, he was startled and quickly stepped in front of Dan Zhu.

Noticing Danzhu's face, which was alternating between pale and flushed, he quickly asked in a low voice, "Are you alright? Are you alright?"

Danzhu swallowed hard, and answered in a trembling voice, "I... I'm... fine..."

"You don't need to do anything, just leave it to me."

"...Don't worry, I'm really fine."

Danzhu took a deep breath, regulated her breathing, and gripped her staff tightly.

"Alright, let's go together and finish this quickly."

Yuan Qing uttered these words, his pupils contracted, and [Mind Control] was activated instantly!

He needs to control the BOSS and kill it instantly before it can dodge!

"Buzz!"

An invisible mental fluctuation was released, like an ice spike, piercing straight towards the half-human, half-rat.

The opponent froze on the spot for a moment, and Yuan Qing's sword energy also rushed out in that instant!

Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters!

Just as the sword energy was about to strike, but then—

"Boom!"

The top of the cave suddenly collapsed!

A giant spider, as large as a semi-trailer truck, suddenly broke through the rocks and fell down!

Its entire body was covered in a shiny metallic shell, and its eight compound eyes gleamed with a cold, eerie green light!

Its enormous mouth opened and closed, dripping corrosive venom continuously. Its abdomen was swollen high, covered with grotesque, constantly writhing egg sacs!

【Level: 30】

【HP: 17500/17500】

【MP: 2500/2500】

[Talents: Venomous Breath, Web Binding]

The sword energy he unleashed was completely blocked by the rocks it stirred up. Yuan Qing frowned and cursed inwardly.

This lousy dungeon actually has two bosses?

This guy is hiding too well; I didn't sense a thing at all!

Damn, that's the downside of a magical girl who lacks information gathering skills.

One's own insight can only reveal the monster's weaknesses and improve the ability to exploit those weaknesses.

For tasks like sensing hidden monsters, only those with a detection skill can handle it.

Fortunately, even though the two bosses are B-rank, they are among the weakest, not even as good as the Dark Night Hound, so they are not too troublesome.

The problem is, one of them is a fucking rat!

Ordinary rats are one thing, but these rats can also launch psychological attacks!
