Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Knew it……

　Cong Yu, that girl, is the Demon King's Consort!

　-

　Cong Yu: I didn't say that!!!

　Chapter 435 Demon Bear: Ninjutsu Taijutsu - Defense

　Colors... so many colors, like a dazzling array of flames, burning fiercely on this magical beast.

　Yes, it was burning fiercely on the demon "bear".

　If Yaochuan Guang were to describe it, it would be like the opposite of a monster... If monsters are as dark as they are, then this bear is as dazzling as it is.

　Huh? Oh, right...

　Xiaoying and those two strange friends from earlier seem to have bodies that are about the same color as the monsters. Could they be related by blood?

　Thinking this, Hikaru Yokawa, who was preparing to support Azumi Nagisa and Kotori, turned to look at Cong Yu's two friends...

　However, nothing was seen.

　They probably took it to get repaired in a beat-up van... I wonder if they had insurance for the vehicle.

　Although based on Cong Yu's previous experience, Yao Chuan Guang already knew that the insurance would only pay out about half...

　Tragic pinch—

　"Awoo!! Awoooooo!!"

　Amidst the roar of the demonic bear, Yao Chuan Guang solemnly prepared to join the battle—the enemy was merely a bear, and perhaps Xiao Lan and Xiao Cui had already taken care of it.

　When she turned her head again, what immediately came into view was Azuma Nagisa being sent flying in her direction.

　"Croak!?"

　Shocked, Hikaru Yokawa immediately caught Nagisa Azumi, then stumbled back a few steps to dissipate the strange force that sent him flying backward.

　Such terrifying power...

　"Roar! Roar! Roar!!!"

　The demonic bear roared to the sky, its eyes bloodshot, and the seven-colored flames around it almost materialized... Countless little sprites that were stabbing at the demonic bear were all blasted away.

　Xiao Cui, on the other hand, had already hidden far away.

　As a pure magic-based summoner, Xiao Cui's physical strength is far from adequate...

　Lan Tianzhu was hit, but only flew a few meters away.

　But if Xiao Cui gets slapped, she'll probably lose her fighting ability on the spot... Anyway, Xiao Cui doesn't care about ranged or melee combat, it won't affect her DPS.

　And without a doubt

　The question is, this will be a tough battle.

　"Xiao Guang, be careful."

　As he said this, Lan Tianzhu stood up with Yaochuan Guang's help and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva: "Something's wrong with this bear."

　Yaochuan Guang also knew this.

　The right bear wouldn't need them to lift a finger... A bear that can use magic is definitely not the right kind of creature.

　"No, I didn't say that... Get out of the way!"

　As Lan Tianzhu spoke, watching the howling demonic bear charging towards them, she explained as Yao Chuanguang lifted her into the air to dodge—

　"I mean! The opponent's power is wrong!!!"

　As it shouted this, the demonic bear pounced on the two of them with a speed disproportionate to its size...

　After the two narrowly escaped, the demonic bear, with terrifying force, crashed straight into a building on the side of the street.

　This was a flower shop, and the bouquets, flowers, and vases inside immediately shattered into pieces, causing the already relatively light-structured flower shop to teeter on the brink of collapse.

　Then it collapsed with a roar, burying the demon bear inside.

　"I... was shocked."

　As he said this, Yaochuan Guang took the shiny sword that Teacher Hong had given him from his neck. The moment he infused it with magic, the sword quickly grew longer.

　"It's time to get serious. I'll hold it off, Little Blue, you take the lead."

　Yaochuan Guang, who made this judgment in an instant, held his sword and confronted the demonic bear that emerged from the ruins: "I don't know why, but I instinctively dislike this animal... I feel it's ugly."

　No, it's not really ugly.

　Although the colors are vibrant, they are all quite beautiful; in fact, the color combinations have a glamorous and alluring feel, much like butterflies.

　But for some reason, I just feel really annoyed by this bear with its colorful, magical aura... I just can't stand looking at it.

　However, the demonic bear seemed to be the same in this respect.

　"Roar!!!"

　With a furious roar, the demonic bear's arrogance rose even higher, and several terrifyingly heavy magic bullets swirled around it as it flew towards Yao Chuan Guang.

　Magic Bullet, this is a technique that only 99% of magical girls and monsters can master, or even a kind of skill!

　Okay, actually it's the weakest technique.

　but……

　"Magic power? This is outrageous!"

　As Yaochuan Guang was being suppressed by the enemy's magic power for the first time, she shouted this, and the magic bullet instantly arrived in front of her.

　Yao Chuanguang could only raise his arms, holding the gleaming sword in front of him, and quickly condense magic power into a shield for defense.

　"Bang!! Bang!!"

　"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

　A series of loud explosions erupted, and as the smoke billowed out, Yaochuan Guang was completely enveloped in dust...

　The "no harm in smoke" principle did not apply.

　After quickly dispelling the smoke and dust with a swing of his sword, Yaochuan Guang endured the soreness in his wrist, stretched out his left hand, and aimed it at the demonic bear that was charging with the magic ball.

　"Unbound Array - Shining New Star!"

　As Yaochuan Guang cast her spell, a dazzling halo instantly spread out from her center, carrying a repulsive force that dispersed all the surrounding dust and pebbles.

　This is undoubtedly a copy of Teacher Hong's [Crimson Activation Formula - Nova] spell, but its power is somewhat lacking.

　If it were Teacher Hong who unleashed it, and the Crimson Array was activated at a sufficiently high level, it would be a killing move capable of blasting away the enemy's flesh and blood, and even detaching them from their skeleton.

　Yao Chuan Guang had seen it before; with one blow, Teacher Hong turned all the miscellaneous monsters into a fine paste, a mixture of fat, thin, and even the most delicate bones.

　It was pasted on the wall and mixed together.

　At this moment, Yao Chuanguang's spell could only hinder the demonic bear's charge, but...

　That's enough!

　"The Secret Techniques of the Yaochuan Style Swordsmanship!"

　While shouting this, Yaochuan Guang leaped up with his sword, chanting a heavy slash that was essentially "cutting off your head with magic": "Shining Skull Strike!"

　Meanwhile, Xiao Cui, who was observing from the sidelines, controlled the little sprite to poke at the demon bear's eyes, interfering with the demon bear's actions.

　Lan Tianzhu's chanting was complete, and the dark blue karmic fire began to burn on the demonic bear's body... mixed with the seven-colored flames, forming this killing move!

　Then, the sword fell!

　"clang!!!!"

　Does it sound good? What sounds good is a good start.

　"..." Yao Chuanguang's expression changed immediately, realizing that this bear's defensive power was truly formidable... After understanding this, she immediately prepared to retreat.

　As a result, the demon bear slapped him across the face.

　"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

　Yao Chuanguang's face was contorted by the slap, and his frozen expression was incredibly exaggerated. He spun around in the air like a top for three and a half times.

　He then fell heavily to the ground, nearly breaking his neck.

　……

　Good meat! Good meat!!

　What a tough bear! While bears are often portrayed as incredibly resilient in TV shows and cartoons, isn't that a bit of a stereotype?

　I want to file a complaint!

　Yaochuan Guang thought to himself.

　Chapter 436 The Dark Sword

　"Xiaoguang!"

　Lan Tianzhu's calm expression changed slightly. She temporarily surrounded the demonic bear with a wall of fire and flew to Yao Chuanguang's side: "How are your injuries?!"

　If the brain or heart is injured, it's best to have a teammate immediately transfer magic to help with recovery... especially the former.

　While magical girls possess extremely strong self-healing abilities, they are essentially unable to care for themselves when their brains are damaged.

　Unable to effectively mobilize magic to heal itself.

　"It's nothing...cough cough, it's not a fatal wound."

　As he said this, Yaochuan Guang quickly stood up, panting, "This bear isn't dangerous... but it seems difficult to fight."

　Indeed, Lan Tianzhu felt that the three of them would be fighting here for an entire afternoon.

　This bear meat is incredibly delicious, and it also deals a lot of damage... The main problem is that it's incredibly delicious, but the high damage isn't a big deal.

　They are much stronger now than they were last year, the most obvious improvement being their battlefield recovery ability...

　If Hikari Yokawa were to fight the ant monster from last year again now and have her lower body blown off, then she could demonstrate what it means to instantly regenerate.

　In a short period of time, their strength has also made a remarkable leap.

　Ok……

　At least Yaochuan Guang and Xiao Cui's strength has improved significantly. Lantian Zhu feels that he has become stronger, but he can't quite say how much stronger he has become.

　"Roar!!!!"

　The demonic bear charged again, roaring and brandishing its heavy claws, engaging in battle with Lan Tianzhu and Yao Chuanguang.

　war! war! war!

　Fight, fight, fight!

　Adultery! (No, it wasn't.)

　……

　The Demon Bear fought with increasing ferocity, Yao Chuan Guang fought with increasing ferocity, Xiao Cui fought with increasing ferocity... mainly because as time went by, the number of little elves also continued to increase.

　It takes about a few minutes to create a little sprite.

　If Xiao Cui is given enough time, the little elves will probably turn into a huge, dark mass, eventually crushing the enemy to death.

　Meanwhile, Lan Tianzhu was getting more and more...tired with each battle.

　What? Everyone else is doing so well, but Lan Tianzhu is failing? Is it possible that Lan Tianzhu really isn't up to par?

　Of course this is not the case.

　Or rather, Lantianzhu's situation is actually relatively normal.

　Yao Chuan Guang's magical power is exceptionally great, and Xiao Cui's continuous spells do not require continuous consumption of magical power; both are incredibly powerful.

　In comparison, even Teacher Hong's "Crimson Array," a powerful spell, seemed normal.

　As for the battles on the other side of the world, magical power is the most important factor... Nagisa Azuma is rather mediocre in this regard.

　If I had to give an example, she's the kind of Little Blue who can randomly build up three cards in the graveyard as soon as she enters the game, but then there's nothing more to her combo.

　Yaochuan Guang, on the other hand, is the type that can pile up 20 cards in the graveyard, which is a large and satisfying type.

　Although Xiao Cui's magic power may only count as two cards in the graveyard, it has other effects besides graveyard stacking, such as fusion in the graveyard.
