"Ao!!" The crescent-shaped 'Dance of the Sky's Return' slash hit the large wolf demon, causing it to howl in a wolf-like scream. Blood splattered as the curved sword blade pierced through the wolf demon's body, taking away one of its wolf paws.

"Ahh..." Seeing such a bloody scene, the two girls let out a simultaneous cry of shock.

Before meeting Wuyan, Chrysanthemum was just an ordinary student. Although she had seen blood from killing chickens, fish, and sports injuries, the sudden sight of such a bloody scene still made her a bit afraid.

As for Misaki, although she was one of the strongest fighters just below the highest level in the Magic Prohibition world, she lived in the bright side of Academy City and attended Tokiwadai, a school for young ladies. She had never even killed a chicken, so how could she bear such a bloody scene?

Hearing Misaki and Chrysanthemum's cries of shock, Wuyan, with a blank expression, swung his sword again at the large wolf demon, which was howling in pain from losing an arm.

Although he knew the two girls behind him were not calm, he had to wait until the battle was over to care for them. Otherwise, if he was careless and got hit, it would be his turn to be cared for by others.

The sword slashed across the large wolf demon's body, creating a huge wound. Blood splattered again, and the large wolf demon howled in pain once more.

A pair of wolf eyes stared at Wuyan with bloodshot eyes. The large wolf demon roared in anger, opened its mouth, and lunged at Wuyan's head.

The distance between Wuyan and the large wolf demon was less than two meters, so the wolf demon's mouth quickly reached Wuyan's face. In a moment of crisis, Wuyan quickly lowered his head, avoiding the wolf demon's sharp teeth.

Although the large wolf demon's attack was sudden, Wuyan had dealt with 'wolves' many times in the Giant Beast Forest. Their characteristic was that the more injured they were, the more frenzied they became!

Even if he didn't know what kind of attack the wolf demon would use, Wuyan, who was well-prepared, would not be at a loss.

Lowering his head to avoid the large wolf demon's mouth, Wuyan crouched under the wolf demon, twisted his body, and spun in the air, thrusting his sword upward at the wolf demon's neck.

The long sword pierced through the large wolf demon's skin, stabbing through its neck, and the blade protruded from the back of its neck.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze...

"We won!" Chrysanthemum exclaimed in surprise, as if she had won herself. She was no longer afraid of the demon or the blood, and she cheered on the spot, laughing happily.

"Really impressive..." Misaki clicked her tongue. Although Wuyan's battle with the large wolf demon did not shock her, it had a unique flavor. In the past, Misaki's battles were mostly about electric shocks, electric shocks, and electric shocks, or directly using her ultimate move, the Railgun, to end everything.

However, Wuyan's battle, though not at her level, had a different style. In terms of technique, Misaki would use iron sand to attack, so this battle made her realize that battles could be like this...

Although Misaki's level might be high, she had never experienced real combat. She might not even be able to defeat someone eight levels lower, like Fifi, who had fought in the brutal Spartier world. Misaki's strength was developed step by step with technology, and Fifi's combat experience was far superior to hers.

This showed that Misaki still had a lot of potential and room for growth. Once she truly experienced combat, her strength would undergo a tremendous change, even if her level did not increase much!

Wuyan kicked the large wolf demon's body and pulled out his sword. Since he was under the wolf demon, it fell on him when it died. Wuyan had to brace himself to avoid being stained with blood.

After pulling out the long sword, Wuyan submitted the large wolf demon's body to the system. Without magic crystals, he did not gain any ability points, but he received some item points, which was better than nothing.

Seeing the large wolf demon's body disappear, Misaki and Chrysanthemum were momentarily surprised but quickly understood. With the system, anything was possible, especially the disappearance of a body, and it wasn't Wuyan who disappeared...

"Are you okay?" Chrysanthemum asked, looking at Wuyan as if nothing had happened. The bloody scene had already been forgotten.

Misaki was in a similar state. If the target had been a human, she might have felt a bit uneasy. For this kind-hearted girl, even the most heinous crimes could be forgiven. Otherwise, in the original story, when she saw her sister being tortured by Accelerator, she would not have subconsciously deflected the Railgun away from his vital points, which was a manifestation of her kindness.

However, the target was not a human but a group of demons. Although she was inevitably afraid when she saw the blood, the impact on her was not as great as it would have been with a human.

Wuyan sighed, thinking that such a personality might get her killed in a real battle. But this was the real Misaka, and Wuyan would not be dissatisfied. After all, Misaka's enemies would be his enemies, and if she couldn't handle them, he could.

Well... when he became stronger...

"Alright..." Wuyan smiled, shaking the Kusanagi sword to clear the blood. Seeing the unchanged expressions of the two girls, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If they couldn't handle such a scene, what would they do next? But it was good...

Just as Misaki was about to say something, Wuyan and Misaki suddenly became alert and stood in front of Chrysanthemum, looking serious.

"What's going on?" Chrysanthemum, confused by their sudden actions, pulled on Misaki's clothes and asked.

Wuyan and Misaki exchanged a glance and then smiled bitterly. "We're in trouble..."

Suddenly, tall figures appeared, darting through the air above Wuyan and the others. In the distance, more figures were moving toward them, stirring up dust. The number was definitely not small!

"What's happening?" Chrysanthemum's eyes widened as she saw the figures darting above her. They were exactly like the afterimages left by the large wolf demon's movements!

Wuyan tightened his grip on the Kusanagi sword and forced a smile. "It seems we've entered a demon's den..."

Misaki rolled her eyes and retorted, "Wrong, we came here to enter a demon's den from the beginning."

"True..." Wuyan was taken aback and then smiled bitterly.

The figures darted, bringing a gust of wind. The dust grew closer, causing the ground to tremble. The three of them watched with different expressions...

Finally, they were close...

The dust settled, the figures disappeared, and the enemy appeared, roaring!

Chrysanthemum's face was calm, with no fear or despair. Her eyes reflected Wuyan's figure.

A massive current surged through Misaki's body, stronger than ever. The 'bzz bzz' sound of the current was continuous, and her bangs fluttered in the air. Her brown eyes looked ahead, fearless!

Wuyan swung the Kusanagi sword, which glowed brightly, creating a crescent arc in the air. He held the sword with one hand, and all his expressions vanished, his mind calm.

The more dangerous the situation, the more calm one must be. For victory, for survival, and for the delicate figures behind and beside him...

In front of them, various demons of different sizes, appearances, strengths, and voices lined up. Each pair of eyes glowed with a bloodthirsty light, and their mouths opened and closed, their roars echoing in the air without any pattern.

How many were there? A hundred? A thousand? Or ten thousand?

Wuyan, Misaki, and Chrysanthemum did not know, as the figures behind were completely obscured by those in front. The terrifying formation was enough to scare any coward.

"Chrysanthemum, Misaki, are you afraid?" Wuyan suddenly asked, turning to Chrysanthemum and Misaki.

The two girls were taken aback but then smiled.

Sakura petals appeared around Chrysanthemum, converging in her hand to form a crystal katana. Chrysanthemum held the White Sakura and smiled beautifully. "It's strange, I should be afraid, but why am I not afraid at all?"

Sand and soil rolled, and small black particles flew out from the rock layers, gathering in the air to form a wave-like cluster of iron sand around Misaki. The iron sand swirled, and Misaki stood in the middle, smiling with a heroic air. "Who do you think I am? I'm No. 3, the Railgun!"

Hearing the two girls, Wuyan shook his head, feeling helpless, but his heart was filled with a surge of warmth.

Wuyan took a step back, and in the air, he tapped a few times. Two bottles of potion and a few beans appeared in his hands.

He quickly handed the two bottles to the girls. "Chrysanthemum! Misaki! Each of you take a bottle and drink it!"

Holding the potion bottles, Chrysanthemum and Misaki were taken aback, looking at the golden liquid in the bottles. "What is this?"

"This is called 'Radiant Breath.' It's a life-saving potion. Just one bottle can keep you in an 'unharmed' state for three hours, so drink it quickly!"

"Unharmed for three hours!" The two girls looked at the potion bottles in shock. Wasn't this practically invincible? Chrysanthemum noticed another issue.

"If we drink it, what about you? Why don't you drink it?" Chrysanthemum's eyes darted around Wuyan but found no third bottle. She became anxious.

Wuyan smiled bitterly. "'Radiant Breath' costs 100,000 item points per bottle. I only have a little over 260,000 item points, which is not enough to exchange for a third bottle..."

"That's not right, what will you do..." Hearing Wuyan's words, Chrysanthemum became even more anxious. Before she could protest, Wuyan stopped her.

"Alright, drink it quickly, they're about to attack!" Seeing the demon army starting to move, Wuyan quickly shouted, rushing to the front of the two girls and raising his sword.

"Yan, you should drink the potion. As long as you don't die, I can be revived even if I die!" Misaki also became anxious, as Wuyan was the only one without protection, which made her uneasy.

Wuyan smiled, not turning his head, but his firm voice was clear to the two girls. "Misaki, although the situation suggests that I should drink it, remember, I am not only your summoner but also a man! As a man, how can I not protect the women?"
