Chapter 123 Testing

The terrifying spider monster has been eliminated by the girls on their first mission. Although the girls of the Magic Execution Office are not very old, they possess elemental abilities and magical artifacts.

Her combat strength is actually much stronger than most of the operators in the Ministry of Environment's Countermeasures Office, and she is comparable to top-tier operators like Yomi. However, Yomi's strength has increased significantly after the contract enhancement.

After Chunlian executed the spider monster with her sword, only a strange woman's face remained. Evil spirits and vengeful spirits are different from monsters. They are either the spirits of the dead who are unwilling to dissipate, or the result of a gathering of many resentful thoughts, or some other strange reason.

However, they are basically the remnants of the souls and thoughts of the dead, which ordinary mortals cannot see at all. This is considered lucky for mortals, as mortals who cannot see evil spirits are less likely to be actively attacked by them.

However, among mortals, some unfortunately develop spirituality either innately or later, which attracts the covetousness and attacks of evil spirits, resulting in their souls being absorbed and devoured, and even their bodies may be consumed.

Gao Guifenglan looked at the woman's face on the ground with disgust, her gaze shifting slightly. According to regulations, they were supposed to take the evil spirit's remnants back, and as the director, she should naturally offer to do so...

'But it's really disgusting!'

The noble Maple, who was screaming wildly in her heart, couldn't help but adjust her red-rimmed glasses and glance at the others. But unfortunately, at that moment, the girls seemed to understand each other perfectly.

They all looked away, avoiding eye contact with the noble Fenglan. Even her most trusted deputy, Tian Gu Chunlian, turned her face away awkwardly.

I can shield you from bullets and knives, Director, but I will never help you take the face of such a frightening woman.

Out of pride and self-respect, the noble Maple Orchid absolutely refused to admit that she dared not take it, nor did she want to force others to take it. She could only grit her teeth, take out her handkerchief, and prepare to forcefully pull the face belt back while enduring the nausea.

Just as Gao Guifenglan slowly squatted down, turning her face, and reached out to pinch that face through the handkerchief, she suddenly became alert and looked up at a dark alley not far away.

A shadowy figure, seemingly as large as a giant, emerged from the alley.

"alert!"

Gao Guifenglan exclaimed in surprise, immediately threw away her handkerchief, and as she stood up, her red-rimmed glasses transformed into a beautifully decorated longbow.

The others naturally sensed the danger one after another, especially Himegami Kodama, who noticed something was wrong even before Noble Maple. With a solemn expression, Himegami Kodama summoned her shikigami, an adorable three-headed chibi-style little girl sprite. (Modified)

Niu Kun walked out of the alley at a leisurely pace, his gaze sweeping over the six wary girls. Compared to Yu Chuan Yi, whom he almost couldn't remember, the six girls gathered together in front of him had more obvious features, which made Niu Kun quickly find the matching names in his memory.

"Amaya Haruka, Himegami Korei, Kushiya Inaho, Takanoki Furan, Shina... Tomoko, and that... who... oh, right, Kinuya... Kalete."

Niu Kun called out the names one by one, but because he almost forgot Juana Kalete's name at the end, the proud girl's expression changed drastically, and her gaze became fierce.

However, in Niu Kun's eyes, it was no different from flirting and beating around the bush.

"You monster, why did you almost... wait, why do you know our names?!"

She almost questioned Niu Kun about why he hadn't remembered her name, but thankfully Juana Karette changed her tune in time and questioned Niu Kun about how he knew their names.

"Because of fate."

Niu Kun slammed the heavy shield, carved with a naked woman, onto the ground, pointed his great axe at several girls, and continued spouting nonsense: "Because fate has already decreed that you will submit to me, become members of my harem, and become my henchmen in conquering the world."

"what?!"

The girls' unanimous question didn't mean there was anything wrong with them; it just meant they all felt that Niu Kun might have some kind of problem—something wrong with his mind.

"Don't you believe it? Well, sometimes fate is just that cruel and unbelievable, but it's okay, the future will keep proving me right."

Niu Kun's confident demeanor caused the girls to waver for a moment, but this wavering was quickly dispelled. Who would believe a bull-headed monster that suddenly appeared and uttered nonsensical words?

"Alright, monster, stop spouting nonsense! Prepare to die!"

The first to lose her temper was the proud and impulsive Juana Karette. Holding a magical longsword, she unleashed a gust of wind, and in the next instant, streaks of wind spun and slashed towards Niu Kun.

However, Niu Kun swung his axe and shattered it repeatedly without even moving an inch. But when Niu Kun glanced at the battle axe, he saw that several shallow marks were left on the axe surface.

"Hmph, this is just a test."

Kiana Carette seemed to feel she had lost face, so she snorted coldly and then shouted loudly, "Demon Sword - Great Scythe!"

A sharp cry rang out!

Then, a flash of light appeared on the magic sword in Juana Kalete's hand, and then she swung her hand and made a sudden upward slash, immediately followed by an even wider, invisible wind blade that rushed towards Niu Kun.

The lower end of the wind blade directly cracked a deep, shattered trench in the hard road surface, but...

"This move is powerful enough, but... the movements are too exaggerated."

As he spoke, Niu Kun first dodged the wind blade with a quick movement, then charged forward with both feet, instantly crashing into Juanya Kalete's front.

"Forehead!"

Kiana Kalete's eyes suddenly narrowed, and as she swung her sword at Niu Kun, she dodged to the side. However, Niu Kun charged straight at her with his heavy shield, and as Kiana Kalete dodged, the battle axe hidden behind her also slashed out.

An arrow streaked across the sky, and at the same time, Zhina Du Hongdou leaped forward and kicked at Niu Kun. The other four women also used their own techniques, clearly not intending to engage in a one-on-one duel with Niu Kun, but...

Hongdou's kick aimed at Niu Kun missed its target, but what stunned her even more was that her leg... had vanished?!

At the same time, Chunlian, who was originally swinging her sword at Niu Kun, turned around and swung her sword to block Yang Ming, who was coming with lightning flashes all around him. The fist, which was flashing with dazzling lightning, almost blasted Chunlian away.

Yang Ming originally intended to attack Gao Guifenglan, who was wielding a bow and arrow and shooting at Niu Kun. In the end, the only remaining two, Himegami Koremi and Kushihachi Inaho, were also defeated by Niu Kun.

"There are others!"

Himegami Korei and Kushiya Inaho helped Shinato Anko back more than ten steps, looking solemnly at the two girls who had suddenly appeared.

Surrounded by electric sparks, Yang Ming, whose hairstyle and clothes had been altered by Niu Kun, and with some additional makeup, looked much prettier, since she was already quite beautiful to begin with.

A cold yet serious phoenix eye swept over the girls, a hint of pity flashing in its eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Meanwhile, Mineva on the other side had a different thought.

"Wow, so many beautiful girls will be taken into the harem by the evil demon king. Maybe he'll build a huge palace to lock all the beautiful girls up and then bully them day and night. Just thinking about it makes me sad!!"

Although she said she was sad, Mineva's face showed no sadness at all; on the contrary, she was smiling as if she were very happy.

Chapter 124 Main Idea

"I said...aren't you going up to help?"

At the alley entrance, Hanekawa Tsubasa, suppressing her shock, curiously asked Natsuki, who was watching the battle with her.

"I'm the driver, and drivers don't usually participate in combat."

Xia Shu glanced at Hanekawa Tsubasa, then continued, "On the contrary, you are most likely a combatant as well, so you should be the one to go first."

"Huh?! Me?!"

Hanekawa Tsubasa was greatly shocked upon hearing this and looked at Natsuki in disbelief.

Natsuki was also somewhat puzzled and asked, "What? Are you surprised?"

"But...I...I'm just a high school student...."

Hanekawa Tsubasa said somewhat uneasily. Although she had already been frightened by Niu Kun and Natsuki Yuno's words, she hadn't expected that besides the possibility of being bullied and violated, she would also have to participate in a battle. However, considering that the others fighting outside were also young girls, it seemed...

“Yuno is still a middle school student.”

Natsuki answered nonchalantly, leaving Hanekawa Tsubasa completely speechless. She felt even more hopeless about her future; was she destined to be both a slave to her husband and a slave to her war?!

Suddenly I feel like my life is so hard!

Yuno did not participate in the battle. Although she received the contract enhancement, she did not have the magic tool to enhance her and could not participate in the battlefield. However, she still had firearms.

By this time, Yuno had already found a suitable sniping position on a nearby floor. Although Niu Kun wanted a lively 'gun mount', mistakes are inevitable in battle.

However, Yuno's first target was still the helicopter that transported the girls. Having learned from her previous experience, Yuno skillfully aimed at the helicopter's vital points and pulled the trigger.

"Huh? My legs are back?!"

Shinato Aoko, who was dragged back by her companions, looked at her thigh with surprise and joy. Just now she thought she was going to be disabled.

Boom! !

At that moment, the hit helicopter crashed to the ground at an angle, and the explosion instantly sent up orange-red flames and thick smoke.

"What's going on? There are enemies too?!"

Gao Guifenglan turned her head and looked at the firelight that illuminated the surroundings. Her expression changed drastically. She then hurriedly notified the General Affairs Command that the situation had obviously exceeded the original plan.

"Xiaodou, you deal with the black-haired woman. Himegami, you hold off the blue-haired woman. The rest of you, work together to deal with that minotaur."

After speaking, Gao Guifenglan first drew her bow and shot at Niu Kun, while also looking around to find the hidden gunmen. Although they were all ability users with magical artifacts and their strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, it did not mean that firearms were not a threat to them.

Especially sniper rifles and heavy firepower, since they are still within the realm of mortal beings.

"Yes!"

The first to accept the order, Hongdou stomped her foot and looked at the black-haired girl who also seemed to fight using physical techniques. If she were to deal with that blue-haired, blind girl whose strength was unknown, Hongdou would be a little apprehensive, but if it was close combat, Hongdou's fighting spirit was high.

Immediately, Hongdou raised her hand and beckoned to Yang Ming, who had a stern face, with a provocative gesture. Then, the magical artifact Wild Eagle, shaped like a steel combat boot, was activated instantly, crossing space in the blink of an eye and kicking towards Yang Ming.

On the other side, the other girls were not to be outdone. A magic circle appeared around Himegami Korei, and then a beautiful black-haired elf flew out and attacked Minerva.

"Oh dear! With Celia and Midia gone, am I going to have to join the melee too?"

With her eyes closed, Mineva muttered something and then disappeared from Himegami Kodama's sight, causing the black-haired elf's attack to miss.

"Disappeared?!"

Himegami Korei cautiously looked around, as if the other party might jump out and attack her at any moment.

Amaya Haruka took the lead in the attack, slashing down at Niu Kun with her unsheathed demon sword, Murakumo, while Kinuya Karette and Kushihachi Inaho provided support from the flanks.

Niu Kun swung his shield to block Chun Lian's slash, dodged Kalet's wind blade, blocked Dao Sui's demonic fist Kamdo with his axe, and then withstood Dao Sui's kick before his body suddenly burst into a blazing flame.

The three women cried out in alarm and quickly retreated to avoid the flames, but the fiery aura still ignited their clothes. Fortunately, it was short-lived, and they managed to extinguish the flames in time.

However, Niu Kun did not stop. He first summoned two Kashi Demons with [Summon Demon], which roared and attacked Daosui and Kalet respectively. At the same time, Niu Kun launched a berserk attack, launching a relentless and oppressive assault on Tian Gu Chunlian.

Gunshots rang out, and the noble Fenglan tilted her head first. The bullet grazed Fenglan's earlobe, leaving a trace of crimson, but there was no panic in Fenglan's eyes.

"found it."

Immediately, Fenglan changed direction and suddenly drew back the bowstring towards the target. A beam of light shot out instantly. On the other side, after pulling the trigger, Yuna realized that her shot was going to miss. She knew something was wrong and without hesitation, she gripped the gun handle and jumped off the balcony.

The next instant, the light arrow exploded upon reaching the balcony, scattering into countless smaller light arrows that blasted the balcony and bedroom into a complete mess.

After firing the arrow, Noble Maple did not continue to pursue Yuno. Instead, she fired another arrow at Niu Kun. The arrow of light arrived in an instant, but Niu Kun neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, he continued to swing his axe at Amamiya Haruko.

bang~

The light arrow struck, instantly shattering the axe blade. Chunlian, who had been on the defensive, seized the opportunity. The chains that had been binding Murakumo in her hand broke open automatically, bursting forth with light. The blade, composed of photons, easily cleaved the heavy shield in Niu Kun's hand in two, even leaving a deep bloodstain on Niu Kun's chest and abdomen.

A thick, pungent smell of blood wafted out, as Niu Kun had been disemboweled by the incredibly sharp Congyun Sword. However, Chun Lian, who looked unwell, was careless and thought that Niu Kun had lost his fighting ability as a result.

Ignoring the wounds on her chest and abdomen, Niu Kun continued to smash the axe handle, now devoid of blade, down on her head. Even though Chun Lian sensed the danger and tried to dodge, she was still struck so hard that she was dizzy and nearly fell over.

Fortunately, at this moment, Inaho and Carette had already eliminated the Kashi Demons summoned by Niu Kun and attacked Niu Kun from the left and right, but were knocked down by Niu Kun, whose eyes were bloodshot.

"I...I can't fall!"

The blood seeping from her forehead made Chunlian's right eye blurry, and her mind was buzzing, making it impossible for her to stay conscious. But reason still urged her to slash at Niu Kun again.

Although Chunlian is not actually a brave and warlike girl, her determination to protect her companions sparked an extremely fierce fighting spirit. Despite being dizzy, she swung her sword upwards at Niu Kun, and a dazzling sword light bloomed.

As the blinding blade of light slashed past, Niu Kun, instinctively sensing a death-defying threat, quickly leaned back and retreated. However, he still saw a fountain of blood, mixed with fragments of broken organs, gushing from his torso, even staining Chun Lian, who was wielding the sword in front of him, with blood.

'Damn, I was careless!'

Niu Kun's eyes widened, a sense of foreboding creeping into his mind. He then fell backward as if his torso had snapped. The next instant, Mineva, with a serious expression, appeared out of thin air, grabbed the heavily injured Niu Kun, and vanished just as quickly.

"Won... won?"

Inaho asked in disbelief, and Carette next to her breathed a sigh of relief, but Himegami Koremi, who had rushed over, asked in surprise, "Where's Anko-kun?"

"what?!"

"what?!"

"Adzuki Bean?!"

(The upper limit of the magic tool's power has been weakened. The manga's description of the power was too outrageous. If Haruka were to actually use it, she could cleave the protagonist into dust with a single sword strike.)

Chapter 125 Exorcism

"Ha, how pathetic. They're still alive?"

With Niu Kun seriously injured, everyone else naturally retreated in an emergency. Yang Ming was the one who spoke rudely, but she still brought back a gift for Niu Kun: red beans from Zhinadu, who had been knocked unconscious.

Niu Kun rolled his eyes in anger upon hearing this, but at this moment his torso was almost split in two diagonally, so he could only wait until he recovered before giving Yang Ming a proper lesson.

"Master is indeed the Demon King! I also thought Master was going to die, and I was even planning to inherit your harem after you died."

Mineva, who had rescued Niu Kun, returned to her smiling, closed-eye appearance, though she was surprised that Niu Kun could still remain conscious despite his miserable state.

The other girls didn't have the same good attitude as Yang Ming and Minerva. When Minerva brought Niu Kun back, who was almost broken in two, Yuna almost went crazy, and Natsuki was also in a state of panic and fear as if the world was about to end.
