Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Barely, he dodged the flying chains.

　Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Cui controlled the mage sprite and launched a spell attack on the strange man.

　This provided Xiao Cui with a window of opportunity to have some peace and quiet for a while longer.

　At this very moment, Xiao Cui is truly fighting one against four... no, actually dozens against four.

　Dozens of sprites, and dozens more are constantly arriving... This force is enough to continue delaying the inevitable.

　That should be enough to delay until the winds of this city carry the strangeness here to the king of this city... right?

　"Cough cough cough..."

　Xiao Cui, whose head was throbbing with pain, coughed up blood after using her micro-management skills to block the attack of the leader of the 17th Group once again.

　On the ashes of the ruins, the red of blood was coughed up.

　Besides the blood, there were also some broken fragments... those were the already damaged internal organs that had not yet been repaired.

　The world has started to spin.

　The world is spinning.

　……

　This world is far uglier than Xiao Cui imagined... Kind people are not rewarded, while evil people keep attacking them.

　Interests, exploitation, coercion...

　These guys really only have these things in their eyes.

　Xiao Cui felt her eyelids were very heavy. She didn't want to be arrested, she didn't want to cause trouble for Brother Cong Yu, but she couldn't.

　But she had no choice.

　This is the real world... In storybooks, everyone has a choice: they can choose the golden axe or the silver axe.

　But it's different in reality.

　Xiao Cui saw it very clearly; she was always good at observing, and her conclusion was—nothing.

　There is no such thing.

　They have no "choice".

　……

　Why does this world have to be so real?

　Why must reality be so...ugly?

　"..."

　"..." In her struggle of thought, Xiao Cui, whose mind was wandering and confused, finally collapsed heavily to the ground.

　"thump……"

　He completely lost consciousness.

　"..." In that instant, the four strange men clearly felt that the little elves' attacks weakened instantly... but the little elves did not weaken.

　What has weakened is the "offensive force" and the "skills".

　Attacks and restraints are no longer interlocked, nor are they rhythmic enough to keep you running around in circles... It has completely lost its original suppressive power.

　They dealt with the group of sprites surrounding them with almost no effort, something that wouldn't normally be so easy.

　They also tried to wipe out the sprites en masse, but the sprites would quickly scatter the moment their spells were cast, minimizing casualties.

　Caught off guard, the four immediately looked toward the magical girl named "Rusui Kazuki".

　Through the little fairies' defenses, one could clearly see Rusui Kazuki lying motionless on the ground.

　He was unconscious... no, actually he was exhausted.

　"Hahaha...I won! Even the heavens are on my side!"

　The eccentric leader of Group 17 laughed loudly, gripping his already battered hand, and punched the now less aggressive sprite away.

　"Next up, it's our world, hahaha... huh?"

　Amidst the maniacal laughter, the leader of the 17th Group suddenly stopped, like a wild duck whose throat had been choked.

　Not only him, but the other three were the same.

　The four swallowed in unison, clearly feeling... the "pressure" of magic was decreasing, and the wind direction was changing accordingly.

　The little elves, who had appeared weak due to Xiao Cui's unconsciousness, stiffly raised their heads, their eyes flashing with a scarlet color.

　Horror, heaviness, slaughter, profundity, extinction...

　This aura is exactly the same as what these little fairies symbolize... just like their predecessors who have already "activated".

　Chapter 587 The Heart of the Elf Horde

　world.

　planet.

　civilization……

　These three elements, which complement each other yet remain independent, constitute what we call the "world," and from this perspective... the macroscopic world is far too fragile.

　Targeting just one of them could completely destroy the world itself.

　Putting aside the issue of "exterminating civilizations," many people are capable of simply "destroying planets"...

　Give Miss Chiyou a chance to escape, offer Congyu a cold and resolute determination to destroy, present King Odin with a bewildering vision of an unseen future, and Etzel gift him a great fog that offers no hope for protecting civilization itself.

　At least these four people are capable of destroying a star without relying on extinction techniques.

　Even setting aside the "physical" meaning of destroying a planet... there are still many ways to destroy the world.

　For example, the imbalance between "negative" and "positive" magic is becoming increasingly apparent.

　If this continues to worsen, the barriers between the outside and inside of the world may one day be breached.

　The magical torrents of the world's inner seas may also, like [Extinction Spell: Flood], flow...

　It surged forth like a world-ending flood.

　And besides…

　Normally speaking, the "extinction method" for destroying the world is the third one, which has not yet been exemplified—extinct civilizations.

　Once the host dies, the extermination technique goes berserk in perfect unison, becoming a sharp thorn piercing the sole of "civilization".

　It cannot be pulled out, and it is extremely difficult to cross.

　The sprites are similar to the monsters; their method of destroying the world is also predictable: "invasion" and domination.

　However, the little elves, who also use the Extinction spell, are much better than monsters in terms of basic appearance.

　Because elves are cute, intelligent, and can be interacted with.

　Even among extinction spells that share the characteristic of "vibrant colors" and are guided by positive magic, there are still significant differences.

　So, what are the reasons for this difference?

　What is the reason that allows the little elves to remain rational, rather than being filled with a destructive desire for the world like monsters?

　The answer is obvious—

　Owned (Unowned)

　-

　The door is open.

　"That...that is?!"

　The female monster, whose lizard-like form was shrunken, had her pupils constricted, and her already vertical pupils had shrunk to mere slits.

　"A tree...?"

　The strange man holding the cannon was speechless, and he and the strange man using chains stared blankly at the unconscious Rusui Kazuki.

　No, it has nothing to do with Xiao Cui...

　However, it is also closely related to Xiao Cui.

　……

　The shadow of a tree, the phantom of a verdant tree, took root on the fallen Xiao Cui... This was an extremely large tree.

　The plant is extremely tall, and its canopy is so exaggerated that it can be described as "covering the sky and blocking out the sun," with beautiful conical inflorescences hanging down beneath the canopy.

　The captivating floral chains, as bright as gold, exude a fragrant aroma and are evenly distributed under the shade of the trees like long chains.

　Interestingly, the tree did not bear fruit.

　Of course, the four oddballs present wouldn't understand the interesting thing about "not bearing fruit".

　Compared to "arrival," "gestation" is more chilling in the long run. But the speed at which a threat is met is clearly not faster than the latter.

　"Hoo ho ho!!!!!"

　At this moment, what appears on this street is a towering green storm, and what is being swept up by the storm...

　It is a "door", a door that is gradually opening.

　From the perspective of the four strange men, nothing could be seen behind the door. The only thing they could see was a dazzling array of colors.

　A beautiful rainbow of seven colors.

　"What's going on, boss?"

　A strange man couldn't help but ask, casting an inquiring gaze at the leader of the 17th Group... but the leader of the 17th Group did not stop because of the anomaly.

　"Who cares! Anyway, it's good that these little things (sprites) aren't attacking us anymore! Let's capture Rusui Kazuki first!"

　As he said this, the leader of the 17th Group, who had just stopped, immediately rushed towards the direction of the unconscious Xiao Cui.

　At that moment, all the little sprites, whose eyes were now bloodshot and who had fallen into a deathly silence, began to move.

　Countless little elves raised their heads, their countless scarlet eyes and heads turning towards the leader of the 17th Group.

　The intense gaze was unsettling.

　Whether it was a misperception or not, the leader of the 17th Group felt a stinging sensation on his skin from the gaze, and his muscles even started to spasm.

　And without a doubt, the symbolic meaning of these gazes is self-evident.

　Hopefully, they can stop here.

　"Are you kidding me? I'm not backing down!!!"

　As if roaring at someone in an unknown direction, the leader of the 17th Group strode forward, closing in on Xiao Cui.

　Why? Why is he afraid?

　They're just a bunch of cute-looking little creatures with little fighting power... Why does he feel a sudden surge of fear in his heart?

　It shouldn't be like this.

　Because he will be the true emperor of this world in the future!

　At least……

　This is what the leader of the 17th Group thought.

　"..."

　"Om..."

　there's noise.

　"Buzzing..."

　The sound of flapping wings came from that "door".

　“Buzz buzz!!!”

　Something is wrong, something is so wrong!

　The leader of the 17th Group swallowed hard, feeling the deafening roar in his ears... No, things are not good, should we retreat?

　The moment the thought of "Should we retreat?" crossed his mind, his body obediently followed his instinct to "escape" and turned 180 degrees on the spot.
