Yes, I did all of this!

"...To be honest, it's really not true that nothing's wrong."

Yu Zhi held the book and sighed.

"They're like completely different people. They're perfectly normal when talking about ordinary things, but when the topic of magical girls comes up, they immediately become..."

"—You're getting obsessed, aren't you?"

"You could say that." Yu Zhi's face showed some worry.

"Don't take it to heart, these are just the abilities of that sea monster."

Seeing Yu Zhi's expression, Xia Yan comforted her.

Yu Zhi sighed, "I know, but... such a wide-ranging ability to bewitch, and hearing their unwavering trust in their conversation, I still feel powerless. I really don't know how to defeat such a powerful enemy."

Yu Zhi was worried not only about people being bewitched, but also about how the bewitching would be lifted once the sea monster was defeated.

The problem is, apart from awakening a Cangyuan, they really can't think of any other way to defeat it, which is why Yuzhi is distracted.

"I see."

Seeing her reaction, Xia Yan remained silent for a moment, then reached her hand inside the railing and patted her shoulder: "We've thought of what you're worried about. Share your thoughts with everyone, and we'll deal with it together."

"Well, I will."

Yu Zhi took a deep breath and nodded to Xia Yan: "Then let's do it this way..."

Suddenly, the two of them paused, simultaneously feeling a ripple in their hearts.

"There are strange people, but they don't seem to be from the underworld."

Xia Yan looked in one direction, then looked at Yu Zhi and said, "Leave it to me, Yu Zhi, you go back to class."

"Senior Xia Yan, lately people have been saying a lot about magical girls..."

"What's there to be afraid of? Do you think people would team up with a weirdo to fight me?"

Xia Yan smiled, nudged Yu Zhi's shoulder to let her leave, then turned and ran into the alley.

"Senior Xia Yan..." Yu Zhi looked at her worriedly, took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then called Duanmu Mo:

"Hello, Mr. Duanmu..."

"Hey, Yuzhi, I remember Xia Yan brought you your textbooks, what's up?"

Duanmu Mo sat in his office, playing with the gold card in his hand, his tone light and cheerful.

"A strange person has appeared, but it seems to be an ordinary one. Senior Xia Yan plans to go alone..."

"Worried?" Duanmu Mo's fingers moved rhythmically, the card spinning nimbly between his fingers, flipping around in a dazzling display.

"What's there to worry about?"

"Xia Yan is a bit anxious, so... given how people are these days, I'm worried she might do something irrational."

"I see." Duanmu Mo chuckled, leaning back and putting his legs on the table. "Irrational behavior? Although Xia Yan can be quite reckless at times, she wouldn't do anything stupid."

"Yes, is that so..."

"Don't you even think about the kind of life she lived before you and I met? You should know her, but at this moment you're just letting your concern cloud your judgment."

"Then I'll go back to class now?"

"Yes, studying hard is the most important thing, don't worry."

After hanging up Yu Zhi's call, Duanmu Mo leisurely looked at the card in his hand, admiring the dynamically rotating vortex on it, and nodded repeatedly in satisfaction.

There was not a trace of worry about Xia Yan's condition on his face.

Meanwhile, Xia Yan also immediately transformed, leaping from the alley to the location of the strange man.

"Haha, take more, take more!"

In her line of sight, a strange man was directing his henchmen to storm into the bank and loot it.

Having experienced battles with various monsters from the underworld, watching this ordinary monster simply and unpretentiously rob money evokes a sense of nostalgia.

However, nostalgia doesn't mean that the past will let him off the hook.

She stood on the streetlight, watching the strange man's behavior indifferently. Her naturally hanging hand turned slightly, and flames ignited in her palm.

At the same time, the combatants carrying backpacks full of money froze instantly, and the next moment, flames rose from their bodies, causing them to scream and fall to the ground.

"Varied--"

Seeing this, the strange man belatedly realized the magical girl's presence. He suddenly turned his head and stared in astonishment at the setting sun high above.

"Magical girl!"

"I really don't know if you're stubborn or stupid. Don't you know that Kamishiro City and the surrounding area are our territory?"

The setting sun cast a soft glow on the streetlights, slowly walking towards him.

"You still dare to show your face now...?"

The strange man looked nervous, then suddenly laughed, "I thought you had given up your power."

"Ok?"

As its words fell, Xi Ri felt a wave pass over her, making her realize that her consciousness had been momentarily distracted.

"...So that's how it is. You're the sea monster? No, it should be its hanged ghost."

Looking at this burly, strange man, Xi Ri noticed a strange incongruity in his eyes beneath his reckless exterior.

"It seems you used some method to possess this strange person." The magical girls had been sharing information before, and Xia Yan also knew about the strange person that Yu Zhi had faced last time who had been appeared in a dream by a sea monster.

Possessing the monster's body, although it can be considered an escape from the seal, the power is less than one ten-thousandth of the original body's, and can only exert a small part of the original's abilities. Therefore, after being surprised for a while, Yui quickly calmed down.

"As expected of the magical girl Yuhi."

The strange man opened his mouth and laughed, but his expression was stiff and he didn't smile at all: "Before the seal was broken, you were probably the top person in this world."

"There are many magical girls stronger than me." Yuhi calmly raised her hand, and a dancing flame ignited in it.

"However, none of that will stop me from killing you."

Chapter 337: Too Lazy to Listen to What's Wrong

--boom!

The moment Xi Ri finished speaking, she waved her hand, and a fireball shot swiftly toward the strange man.

"You know what? There's something I want to talk to you about."

He blocked the fireball with his strong body, and said with a sly smile.

"I can't be bothered to listen, and you're not qualified to speak."

As Yuhi calmly spoke, flames shot out from the thrusters on her back, propelling her towards the monster and kicking him.

Sensing the power of the kick, the strange man immediately raised his hand to block it, but even so, he still felt a surge of intense energy flowing into his body.

"Such precise control."

The strange man laughed and said, before the energy exploded inside his body, he forcefully shook her away.

The sun was blasted high into the sky. While in the air, it adjusted its posture and looked at the strange man who was clutching his arm and trying to eliminate the energy. Flames also spewed from its legs, stabilizing the force of its backward flight in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the thrusters on his back exerted force again, and Yuhi rushed back towards the monster even faster than before, kicking him in the shoulder once more.

"Well--"

This attack interrupted the monster's movements. At the same time, the energy at the shoulder merged with the energy that had not yet dissipated from the arm, causing the monster's arm to explode instantly, with blood scattering in all directions along with the flames.

The strange man stumbled backward, while Yuhi performed a backflip and landed smoothly on the ground.

Without giving the monster a chance to catch its breath, she charged again, her armored leg slamming heavily into the monster's other arm.

"Such immense power..."

A look of surprise appeared in the strange man's eyes. He staggered to the side, falling backward as he watched the fierce attack from the setting sun.

His eyes narrowed, and he said, "—All of you stand up and stop her!"

"hold head high......"

The words rang out with power, and the combatants who had fallen to the ground struggled to their feet, ignoring the flames engulfing their bodies, and charged toward the setting sun.

"Mere ants."

Looking at the combatants around him, Xi Ri showed a look of contempt. His movements did not stop for a moment. Every attack completely shattered the combatants, leaving not even a palm-sized piece of flesh behind.

"You're really something, Yuhi."

Looking at the figure fighting in the sunset, the strange man exclaimed in amazement, "In the past, your power was equivalent to the sun on the earth... It's such a pity that you've faded into obscurity, am I right?"

"..."

Yuhi didn't answer, but kicked the combatant, sending the scorching energy flying and exploding onto the monster.

boom!

The scorching heat spread, and the strange man took a step back, completely unconcerned about the flames on his body.

It was just a broken shell, so it naturally wouldn't care about this incredibly fragile body.

Letting the flames burn on his body, the monster even used his remaining arm to pinch a portion of the flames, watching it burn at his fingertips, incinerating his flesh and blood:

"This flame isn't your limit yet, is it? I've heard you have a flame of despair, but that move is too powerful; it can even hurt yourself."

The strange man raised his hand toward the setting sun and laughed, "And we strange people happen to be masters of negative emotions. How about this, I'll give you another option, allowing you to become stronger without giving up your power—I'll turn you into a strange person, so you can use this power at will. How about it?"

"If you want to dream, go find a coffin and lie down."

The setting sun spoke coldly, "Of these combatants, less than one in ten survived. Not even a complete body could be found. Flames scorched the flesh, giving it a blood-red sheen."

"This is not a pipe dream."

The strange man stared at the flames that had spread to his palm, charring even his bones, and pointed his hand at Yuhi: "I truly meant to make that suggestion to you..."

call!

The next moment, the flames on his body suddenly turned deep black, and a black pillar of fire shot out from his hand, heading towards the setting sun.

"Um?!"

An unexpected situation occurred: Yuhi's body was engulfed by black flames, which also swept up the combatants around him.
