Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　It's not like we're actually destroying "this" world, you know... Think about it—

　"Shut up!"

　【Oh】

　While Cong Yu was engaging in a back-and-forth exchange, Etzel was already prepared, her face radiating confidence.

　Etzel aimed her gleaming spear at the angel she was in charge of...

　Then, the instant the other party was fully revealed to the world—

　"The End! The Apocalypse!"

　As he shouted this, the light condensed in Etzel's spear suddenly transformed into a beam of light that shot into the sky, engulfing the entire angel like a torrent.

　"boom!!!!"

　As an enemy angel, its arrival has a relatively long pre-descent animation. Therefore, upon descending upon the world, it is almost immediately enveloped by an endless stream of powerful particle shockwaves.

　Under the onslaught, the angel's skin was quickly peeled away, its hastily erected "shield of God" was stripped off, and its bones were washed away, turning into nothingness.

　Then, the light of the apocalypse pierced through the dark clouds in the sky and reached the horizon...

　It almost turned cloudy days into sunny days.

　This is undoubtedly the "annihilation plan" that Etezl came up with after his previous battle with the angels.

　Unleash the full force of an apocalyptic finality. A perfect annihilation of the enemy without damaging surrounding structures.

　The output was perfectly controlled, with almost no surplus.

　"Time taken... less than three seconds."

　With that, Etzel, brimming with confidence in her move, turned her gaze to the other side: "Cong Yu, how are you? Do you need...?"

　Etzel meant to say something like, "Do you need my help?"

　When Etzel turned around, she didn't see the "nearly over" situation she had expected.

　According to Etzel's imagination, the angel that Cong Yu was in charge of should be struggling to survive and barely dodging the attacks from Cong Yu's Jormungandr train... That's how it should be.

　Although Cong Yu can definitely solve it easily, it will be slower than our side.

　At least that's what she thought before.

　However, what she saw before her now was Cong Yu, which looked like it had already been completed... The angel that Cong Yu was in charge of had long since disappeared.

　"Huh? Solved? How long did it take you?"

　Etzel asked with some surprise, while Cong Yu reluctantly patted the black magic on his neck.

　After slapping him several times, his forehead was almost covered in cold sweat, he finally managed to slap the reluctant magic back into his body.

　Then, Cong Yu seemed relieved and let out a long breath, replying to Etzel: "I don't know, but at least it's faster than you."

　"..."

　"Oh... okay."

　Etzel wasn't one to back down easily, and she sighed, "I lost. You really are something else."

　Then, looking at the sweat on Cong Yu's forehead from nervousness, she asked with a face full of doubt, "You really don't want to sleep with me?"

　"No, you've probably used some outrageous trump card... so you still really don't want to sleep with me!"

　Once she realized this, Etzel was furious. She pointed her finger at Cong Yu, her face full of anger.

　Of course, it wasn't because Cong Yu didn't want to sleep with her.

　After all, she is Etzel.

　Etzel's reason for his fury was quite simple: "When you fought me before..."

　"Are they actually releasing water?!"

　Honestly, Etzel felt underestimated.

　When they fought in Mongolia before, Cong Yu didn't use her trump cards...

　Now, in China, playing against an angel is just a competition to cultivate one's character, but Cong Yu has already used his trump card.

　What kind of mess is this?!

　As for Etzel, who was glaring angrily at him while blowing on an orange, Cong Yu rolled her eyes and reached out to pat her head: "Let's go back first... This 'trump card,' well, I only recently mastered it, and it's not very obedient."

　Let's just assume Cong Yu is telling the truth...

　However, instead of discussing whether it was a trump card or not, Etzel suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, the preparation time for the angel's descent seems to be shorter than last time... I'm not sure how long it took Odin."

　"But this time, it only took a dozen seconds from the appearance of the barrier to the actual descent of the angel... the previous time it took about twenty seconds."

　"..." Oh dear, that really is...

　It's quite difficult.

　Chapter 727 The Immortal King's Explosive Destruction Is Inevitable

　"Ding--"

　It was just a simple intertwining of wooden swords, yet it unexpectedly produced a metallic clang...

　Surprisingly, neither of the two combatants in the meditation room used magic to enhance their wooden swords.

　He did not use magic to strengthen his body.

　This is quite bizarre...

　Even Etzel, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but be amazed.

　Ordinary freaks and magical girls, without any magical enhancements to strengthen their bodies, can unleash such speeds.

　Even though the two are not ordinary people, they are already quite remarkable.

　"Meaning? Hmm..."

　Etzel couldn't help but start thinking about what Cong Yu had mentioned before class... the part about sword intent.

　According to Cong Yu, the Immortal King is not actually lacking in "intention," otherwise he would not be able to use determination to fill it.

　But the immortals do not transform "intention" into something truly powerful.

　And this "power" is without the involvement of magic.

　"Huh? I understand!"

　I think I understand now. Is this actually in the category of "non-techniques"?

　Etzel pondered this speculation for a moment, watching Cong Yu and Xian Kui constantly exchanging sword moves and blending sword intent.

　She roughly understood that what Cong Yu had said before... about settling down in Japan with the Snow Woman might not have been a lie.

　Using a non-technique called "Sword Intent" that he had comprehended, Murasame's victory over a mere mortal samurai was probably only natural.

　But are Cong Yu and Xian Kui really okay in their current state?

　Why does it feel so harmonious?

　(Yao Chuan, who wishes to remain anonymous: Waaaaah, there's a cow!)

　(Ms. Lantian, who wished to remain anonymous: Great news! It's a bull!)

　Such a battle is of no use to Etzel... Just watching it is exhausting.

　Without the involvement of magic, it can still release colorless and invisible sword energy, and even use this "aura" to hurt people.

　Such battles were too troublesome and difficult for her to understand.

　"Bam—"

　Then, in a simple exchange of blows with the wooden swords, one of the swords flew out of the hand, circled a few times in the air, and then fell into the meditation room.

　"call……"

　"Huh...huh..."

　Amidst their panting, Cong Yu glanced at Xian Kui, who was holding a sword. After his sword had been knocked away, Xian Kui calmed himself down.

　Then, Cong Yu nodded to Xian Kui, who had sheathed his sword and bowed, and said with a slight sigh, "You've graduated."

　Although it was only a six-hour teaching session.

　As mentioned before, Xian Kui himself is not lacking in "intention," but he rarely uses it... He can be considered to grasp things very quickly.

　Are you serious?

　As Xian Kui said this, tilting her head, she seemed unable to believe that she could knock Cong Yu's sword away.

　Cong Yu was about to answer this...

　"Because he rarely wields a sword anymore."

　As Etzel spoke, looking utterly bored, she said the truth: "In all these decades, I've never seen Cong Yu use a sword."

　Cong Yu wasn't without a sword, he just hadn't used it properly.

　Without practicing for a long time, one naturally cannot compare to the swordsmanship of the Immortal Lord, who draws his sword in every battle... even if the Immortal Lord's swordsmanship is terrible.

　However, after she fully grasped the essence of swordsmanship, the [My Style (Practical Sword Technique - Xia Ji Eight Cuts)] that she gradually comprehended from battles was sufficient for her needs.

　With Cong Yu nodding, Etzel stood up from her chair, patted her bottom, and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving—"

　As she said this, Etzel glanced at the two of them and muttered, "Anyway, it's your lovey-dovey segment coming up next, right? I'm not interested in listening, and I don't want to be in the way here... I'm leaving."

　Etzel, still spouting nonsense, quickly slipped out of the meditation room.

　Cong Yu and Xian Kui were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

　"Love each other?"

　"It's alright if they love each other."

　The two of them, without even realizing it, sat down together and began to review the afternoon's lessons.

　"You've passed both the 'Martial Arts' and 'Magic' tests, which is much faster than I expected. It looks like a week's vacation is too much."

　Cong Yu talked about his week-long leave, resting his chin on his hand.

　He continued, "Later I will teach you the 'techniques'."

　Hearing Cong Yu say this, Xian Kui actually knew that his "Bright Moon Sword System" was not a top-tier technique.

　But it is still one of the top techniques in China.

　It belongs to the category of high-grade Heavenly Rank.

　Going one step further, to Celestial Grade or Divine Grade... that's just a concept!

　The Bright Moon Sword is, in the conventional sense, the strongest sword technique!

　However... it really can't be compared to cheat-level techniques.

　"you teach me?"

　Immortal Kui's eyes immediately lit up, seemingly filled with anticipation: "That spell called 'Jormungandr Train'?"

　"..." Well, that's wishful thinking.

　"I know how, but I probably can't teach you any of it."

　Cong Yu stated this, then hesitated slightly. Seeing Xian Kui's disappointed gaze, he said, "I have two plans for now."

　"One option is for you to learn [Origin Interception - Brilliance]. Have you seen the [Origin Interception - Brilliance] that the Reverse King Squad gave you before?"

　In response to Cong Yu's "first plan," Xian Kui simply replied, "I looked at it and confirmed its authenticity, but I didn't learn it; so this technique is stronger than the Bright Moon Sword?"

　The answer is yes.

　“Stronger, much stronger… As long as you can endure the pain brought by the spell, its power will not disappoint you.”

　As Cong Yu spoke, she added, with Xian Kui nodding thoughtfully, "The second plan..."

　Drawing out the sound, Cong Yu simply stretched out her hand—

　"Source Darkness Apophis".

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Seeing Yuan An Apophis's silence and Xian Kui's puzzled expression, Cong Yu rolled her eyes: "Hey, come out."
