Why are the magical girls in your area male?

It spewed thick pus and blood from its mouth and moved with lightning speed, tearing flesh and blood as it pounced toward Yuan Qing's location!

"court death!"

Yuan Qing's eyes sharpened, and instead of retreating, he advanced. The movement amplification brought by the Divine Movement made his movements seem like a ghost.

He turned his body to avoid the opponent's frontal attack, and at the same time slashed backhand, the Frostmark Longsword drawing a sharp arc!

"Pfft!"

The sword's edge grazed precisely across the hound's neck!

A bone-chilling cold burst forth instantly, freezing and tearing the fragile muscles!

HP-680!

With a single sword strike, the opponent lost a third of their health!

Fortunately, although the level is high, a grunt is still a grunt.

Yuan Qing felt a little more at ease. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he suddenly took a step forward, flicked his wrist, and the Frostmark Longsword pierced straight into the hound's neck like an ice pick!

HP-700!

He gripped the hilt with both hands, channeling all his strength into the longsword, and then with a thunderous thrust—

"puff!!"

The hound's head flew off with a thud! The blood that was about to splatter from the severed wound instantly froze into dark red ice shards!

Just as Yuan Qing decapitated the head and his old strength was exhausted before new strength could be generated, another carrion hound silently pounced out from the shadows on the left like a demon!

It cunningly avoided Yuan Qing's direct line of sight, its foul-smelling claws whistling as they viciously clawed at his waist and abdomen!

"Oops!"

Yuan Qing's pupils constricted sharply!

He twisted his body forcefully, trying to dodge, but his movements were ultimately a beat too slow!

"Tsk-!"

Sharp claws ripped through his security uniform at the waist! The stone skin covering his body shimmered violently, mitigating some of the damage, but still not completely blocking it!

The sharp claws, brimming with terrifying power, instantly left three bloody wounds on his side!

In an instant! Fresh blood mixed with wisps of black mist gushed from his wound.

HP-420!

A sharp pain mixed with a cold, numbing sensation instantly swept through my entire body!

Yuan Qing let out a muffled groan and staggered!

He could clearly feel his life force slipping away.

Damn it! That hurts!

With just one claw strike, I lost a fifth of my blood.

What the hell is this soul-stirring soldier?!

Alarm bells rang loudly in Yuan Qing's mind.

This blow made him realize that although these monsters had low defense, their attack power was extremely terrifying!

Moreover, they cooperated seamlessly and were fearless; my physique simply couldn't withstand more than a few blows!

They are all high-attack, low-imitation weapons with a very low margin for error. If you want to survive, you must do your best to avoid attacks.

He endured the excruciating pain, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp!

With [Divine Speed ​​and Ever-Changing] activated to its fullest extent, Yuan Qing moved like a ghost, retreating rapidly in the nick of time!

He dodged several attacks from monsters in succession.

At the same time, he had a sudden thought, opened his backpack, found the recovery potion, and clicked to use it.

HP +500!

The wound healed quickly, and the pain and numbness disappeared.

He thrust his Frost-Scarred Longsword into the ground with a sudden thud!

"boom!!"

A violent force surged through the sword and into the earth!

With a series of cracking sounds, the concrete ground in the fan-shaped area in front of the sword cracked inch by inch, like fragile ice!

Countless cracks spread rapidly forward, causing the ground to tremble violently and arch wherever they passed! Solid concrete blocks were torn apart and overturned!

Several carrion hounds that were about to pounce lost their footing and were instantly shaken and staggered.

Not far from them, clusters of pustules, oozing pus, were also trapped in the cracked ground.

It's now!

A cold glint flashed in Yuan Qing's eyes, and he suddenly drew his Frostmark longsword, using the momentum to leap backward!

At the same time, he raised his right hand, and the surging magical power within his body rapidly converged towards his palm.

"Pyroblast!"

With a low growl, a crimson magic circle several meters in diameter appeared out of thin air beneath the rotting flesh hounds and abscess aggregates that were stunned by the shock!

The edges of the magic circle resembled red-hot irons, radiating scorching heat!

"Wake it up for me!"

"Boom!!"

As Yuan Qing's magic power was injected, the area covered by the magic circle exploded like a powder keg that had been lit!

A torrent of crimson flames shot into the sky, carrying a destructive power capable of burning everything in its path, instantly engulfing all targets within the magic circle's range!

"Ouch!"

"Pfft, hiss hiss hiss!"

The piercing screams and ear-piercing explosions mingled together!

The few carrion hounds, dazed and disoriented from the shock, were the first to be hit.

Their exposed muscle tissue was charred black the moment it came into contact with the crimson molten liquid, and their screams were cut short before they could even be heard!

The abscess-like polymers, which looked like sarcomas, boiled directly under the flames, becoming as hot as boiling oil.

The huge abscess swelled and throbbed wildly in the flames! The surface of the abscess quickly charred and cracked, emitting a piercing "sizzling" sound.

A strong stench then spread, making Toriumi Riki, who was hiding in the distance, feel nauseous.

Kill the Carrion Hound to gain 600 experience points.

[Defeat the pustule polymer to gain 700 experience points]

[Killed...]

【...】

[Upgraded! Current level: 17]

Seeing the continuous stream of experience gain and level-up notifications popping up, Yuan Qing's tense mood calmed down a little.

Fortunately, these monsters gave a good amount of experience.

This is the benefit of killing monsters far exceeding your own level: high experience, fast leveling, and an excellent way to quickly increase your level in a short period of time.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and profit and crisis go hand in hand. If Yuan Qing is stingy with the experience points when he's already challenging a nightmare-level difficulty dungeon, he'll really be cursing.

Wave Sword and Fireball are quite mana-intensive. With Yuan Qing's current mana reserves, he can only cast both three times before he runs out of mana.

Fortunately, after three attempts, most of these troublesome monsters were dead.

Moreover, leveling up restores him to full health, so after the entire battle, Yuan Qing didn't even need to use any mana potions.

Although these grunts are high-level and have high attack power, and can take away half of your life with just one touch, they are still grunts and have low intelligence.

As long as you are familiar with the opponent's attack mechanics, you can kill them without taking any damage by kiting them for a bit.

After killing all the monsters, Yuan Qing had reached level 19.

If nothing unexpected happens, the boss in this dungeon should be level 30.

Normally, Yuan Qing might rely on his experience of defeating the skeletal undead and the newbie protection to try and challenge a dungeon boss that's a level above him.

However, he was still with Toriumi Riki on his side, and he couldn't risk her life.

Three updates today, one more to go. I'll owe you one, meow! QvQ~

目前欠1更，累计推荐票1081（1599（截止）-518（悬赏当日）），离加更还差119票。

The author is a legendary, long-awaited writer. He owed more than 40 chapters from his previous book, but he made up for them all within a month. Don't worry!

Also, my darlings, I want to tell you all that the word count is already over 11, so theoretically it could be released tomorrow. However, the current exposure and collection are very low. I want to finish the popular new book this week and also boost the click ranking on Sunday, so I'm postponing the release to next week.

That's all, thank you!!

Volume 1: Chapter 47 How are the romance options used?!

"The monsters in this area should be cleared out."

Yuan Qing took a deep breath, relaxed, and said to Toriumi Riki, "Toriumi-sensei, let's go find a portal to leave this place."

"Okay, okay..."

Toriumi Riki nodded repeatedly.

Although she was very nervous, her performance so far—not causing trouble or panicking—has been quite outstanding.

Not causing trouble and following instructions—just doing these two things already puts her far ahead of 90% of the female leads in horror movies.

Yuan Qing carried the Frostmark Longsword, advancing while cautiously surveying his surroundings.

The two carefully made their way through the ruins, exploring deeper into the shopping mall.

The air was deathly still, with only the sound of their footsteps on the broken glass and rubble, pounding on their taut nerves.

"Yuanqing-kun." Toriumi Riki followed closely behind, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "I... I feel something is watching us..."

"..."

Yuan Qing didn't say anything on the surface, but he was inwardly shocked.

This woman's intuition is pretty accurate.

The gaze she felt was perhaps that of the dungeon lord.

Even she herself couldn't sense it, yet she actually noticed something?

This guy seems to be more than he appears...

"Yuan Qing, look over there! Is that blue vortex a teleportation portal?"

Toriumi Riki's voice carried a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

She pointed deep into the shopping mall. Yuan Qing looked in the direction of her voice and saw a corner of a collapsed luxury store, where a spatial vortex about two meters in diameter, emitting a soft, ethereal blue light, was quietly suspended in mid-air.

A system notification then popped up:

[Detected: Exiting the instance portal]

We've finally found it! The hope of leaving this awful place is within reach!

"That's it! Let's go!"

Yuan Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief, his voice tinged with excitement, and immediately called out to Toriumi Riki, quickening his pace as he rushed toward the teleportation portal!

The eerie blue light guided them like a lighthouse, and soon the two were less than fifty meters away from the teleportation portal!

However, just as the two thought they had successfully escaped—

"Boom!!"
