Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

Page 535

　Xiao Cui's army of elves is indeed powerful, but she's very afraid of those who can withstand attacks and charge in to destroy her.

　They are more afraid of enemies with strong offensive capabilities.

　In short...

　Because of the protection of the little elf Tuantuan, Xiao Cui isn't too afraid of squishy assassins rushing in; her biggest fear is warriors tanking damage and then rushing in.

　It's the kind of thing that deals massive damage while also being incredibly powerful.

　Unfortunately, the angels sent down by Moirai were all tanky warriors with high damage output.

　Its destructive power isn't top-tier, its defense is just average, and it doesn't excel in any aspect, but it's just the right level to withstand damage and charge in head-on.

　For Xiao Cui, this should be a rather troublesome enemy.

　Having made this judgment, Cong Yu explained her analysis to Xiao Cui as they walked...

　"I see, it seems it wasn't my fault!"

　Xiao Cui made this comment, then blinked and realized she really should slack off a bit.

　Let everyone protect themselves.

　Let her develop for a while longer, plant more trees on the planet, and then 100,000 elves will besiege an angel... They'll be exhausted to death.

　As Xiao Cui was lost in her reverie, some little sprites suddenly flew to her side, chirping, "Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp!"

　"..." Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, then immediately closed her eyes and followed Cong Yu. Cong Yu also sensed something and looked towards the city.

　Here we go again...

　The interval since the last one... well, it seems that Moirai's summoning skill cooldown hasn't increased significantly.

　It's probably a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

　"Brother Congyu! In Mingyue City... two angels are heading towards Xiankui. Can she defeat them?"

　After synchronizing the information with the little sprite, Xiao Cui reported in this way.

　"Ah...two angels against one immortal?"

　Cong Yu said this with a slight click of her tongue, then decisively summoned Jormungandr Train: "Have the little fairy help hold on for a while, we'll go provide support now."

　Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui immediately closed her eyes, sat on the head of the Jormungandr train with Cong Yu, and began remotely controlling her Pokémon to battle.

　"Yes, I'll try my best!"

　"Surpassing the Source - Brilliance!!!"

　"boom!"

　"..."

　"Huff...huff...really."

　Panting, Xian Kui felt dizzy from the blood loss all over her body: "So, we're going to have to fight so soon."

　I only learned this technique a few days ago.

　However, despite the pain, the power of the [Severing Source - Brilliance] technique truly did not disappoint her.

　It is powerful, does not consume mana, is controllable, and is even an area-of-effect (AOE) attack.

　Harassed by the sprites, the two angels who had been hit by the direct explosion of [Severing Origin - Brilliance] were sent flying backwards almost immediately.

　At this time, Xian Kui can use her almost unused magic power to unleash the Bright Moon Sword she wields.

　There's no need for dual emotional filling; just fill it in with your killing intent and determination in the simplest way.

　As long as you maintain the right balance, you won't end up like someone who "burns themselves" and causes irreversible damage.

　"Bright Moon Heavenly Sword!"

　With that, a massive, intersecting sword aura was unleashed by the Immortal Lord, completely engulfing the two in mid-air...

　Then...

　Right on target!

　"boom!!!"

　Amidst the deafening roar of exploding sword energy, Xian Kui's hands trembled slightly... no, in fact, his entire body trembled.

　It hurts so much... Although the actual damage may not be as severe as the double emotional burden, the pain is thousands of times greater.

　If you use it too much, you might get so much pain that you'll become mentally impaired.

　Then all you'll be able to do is lie in bed drooling.

　If others can take care of me... then who should take care of me?

　No, what am I thinking.

　Xian Kui shook his head, trying to redirect his thoughts, which had been wandering due to the pain, back to the battlefield.

　But if nothing unexpected happens, those two angels should have been dealt with... after all, the Celestial Queen's magic power is enough for her to do that.

　The strength of magic power is that important; even the power of [Origin Interception - Brilliance] is stronger than that of someone with less (weaker) magic power.

　Of course, the degree of pain will not change as a result.

　"One against two, win!"

　Xian Kui said this with certainty, and then, in the next instant, as her attention was once again drawn to the pain in her body...

　"call!!!"

　With a whooshing sound and divine radiance, a walking stick swung towards the Immortal Lord's head...

　what? !

　The immortal suddenly raised his head and saw the angel covered in wounds... Out of the corner of his eye, he could see another angel with a huge cross on his chest gradually disappearing.

　Actually, he blocked that attack for this guy?!

　Just as the celestial being realized this and prepared to unleash "Brilliance" once more, the angel roared in anger: "Villain!"

　"You traitorous Moilei, the chief of rebellious villains! I will carry out the dying wish of my companions and slay you here!"

　As the angel solemnly declared this, the weapon he held aloft shone with an even more fervent light: "Witness this sacred..."

　"..."

　“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

　The sudden loud noise briefly drew the angel's attention, and all he could see in the end was the giant serpent's gaping maw!

　The immortal queen, who was already preparing to unleash her power, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the newcomers and the giant snake: "Phew... they came so fast."

　Upon hearing Xian Kui's words, Cong Yu, standing atop the giant serpent's head, nodded, lost in thought as he sensed the fuel chamber.

　Xiao Cui, on the other hand, patted the head of the Jormungandr train beneath her with great pride and confidence: "Jormungandr, mission accomplished!"

　(Jörmungandr Train: Hiss, hiss hiss?)

　(Rough translation: Praise me if you want, but why are you patting my head?)

　Chapter 734 Plundering Divine Power

　As is well known, the Jormungandr Train can convert flesh and blood, or other less effective organic matter, into magic within its fuel chamber.

　This special magic is used to power the Jormungandr train to activate its acceleration mode... but it's not that it doesn't require magic to function normally.

　However, if it's just for summoning and moving, and there's no need to worry about excessive damage, then the mana consumption is really negligible.

　And the angels were thrown into the fuel chamber.

　Similarly, after a brief struggle, it immediately began to disintegrate from the fuel chamber... but it put up a fight.

　This is a rather troublesome situation.

　Before the angels, any enemy, once captured and brought into the fuel chamber, will lose the ability to resist.

　If the Celestial Lord hadn't already crippled the angel, the angel might have been able to escape from the fuel chamber just like he had broken through the black cavity.

　"Ugh... what an unexpected troublesome fellow."

　Cong Yu couldn't help but sigh to himself, resting his chin on his hand as he watched Xiao Cui explaining the effects of the "revival potion" to Xian Kui.

　Cong Yu, somewhat lost in thought, was still completely focused on the fuel chamber... The angel's body was slowly disintegrating.

　What disintegrates is certainly not magic.

　Angels do not use magic.

　……

　Non-techniques are naturally unrelated to magic... but when non-techniques are elevated to their ultimate form, they become "divine arts".

　What was extracted from the angel's body was a power very similar to magic... pure white and flawless, appearing sacred and beautiful.

　We can tentatively call it "divine power".

　But it is not derived from the decomposition of flesh and blood; rather, it seems that angels themselves are composed of such things, and there is nothing else besides them.

　"..."

　"Chain-style deconstruction".

　Cong Yu's sudden words attracted the attention of Xian Kui and Xiao Cui, and several little elves also looked over curiously.

　Immortal King: "???"

　Xiao Cui: "What chain structure?"

　Little Elf A: "Chirp chirp?"

　Little Elf B: "Chirp?"

　Cong Yu's answer to the questions on Xian Kui and Xiao Cui's faces, as well as the questions on the faces of many other little elves, was very simple: "A structure composed of divine power."

　"If we call the power Moirai uses 'divine power,' but let's consider it 'magical power,' then..."

　Cong Yu said this, making several strict statements about the nouns, indicating that her naming was based on the standard of "everyone being able to understand it".

　The actual situation may be different...

　“Angels are not living creatures.”

　As he said this, at the moment when Xiankui and Xiaocui both widened their eyes, Cong Yu continued to explain, looking at the little elf flying in the air.

　Then, for these little sprites who, though they didn't understand, still widened their eyes like Xiao Cui, she changed her tune: "It can't be said that they aren't living things, but in essence, they aren't...living beings?"

　Having found this strange term, Cong Yu could only say this... To be fair, it's hard to say that the little elf is not a living being or not a creature.

　Xiao Cui pondered this for a moment, then suddenly realized.

　Da Wu: "I see, so angels are actually..."

　That's right, that's it.

　Angel……

　Xiao Cui: "It looks like a mushroom!"

　Cong Yu: "Similar to a surgical technique."

　Xian Kui: "..."

　Xiao Cui: "Huh?"

　Cong Yu: "???"

　Immortal King: Laughs—

　……

　Why mushrooms?
