Nightmare Demon General

The residents on the street were all startled, but after seeing that they were members of [Fairy Tail], they calmed down.

Ever since Fairy Tail had been established, when had they not caused destruction? Everyone was already used to it.

Elsewhere.

Ling Yuan also logged out of the group chat.

It was already very late. Time to sleep.

"Ophis, come on. I'll take you to get cleaned up."

Ling Yuan took Ophis by the hand and headed toward the bedroom.

It was worth mentioning that the shower system here was fully automatic. It would automatically adjust to a temperature comfortable for the human body and strictly follow the temperature you set.

"Xiao Fei, it was a little rushed tonight, so I didn't have time to buy you any clothes. Wear mine for now. I'll buy you new ones tomorrow."

Ophis glanced at Ling Yuan, then looked at him in confusion. "Isn't Master coming in to bathe with me?"

"Me? No need. I'll wash after you're done." Ling Yuan waved his hand.

"But what is bathing?" Her large eyes looked at Ling Yuan with a thirst for knowledge.

"I want to be with Master."

"D-Don't say anything else." Ling Yuan took a step back.

"Why? Ophis is Master's Contract Beast. Shouldn't I always be with Master?" Ophis stepped forward and hugged Ling Yuan's leg, her face full of confusion.

"But I have my difficulties." Ling Yuan gave a bitter smile.

"What difficulties? Tell Ophis, and I'll face them with you."

"I-I'm afraid the rest won't pass review."

Ophis: "..."

The next day.

Ling Yuan slowly woke up in bed.

He immediately felt something soft at his side.

Lowering his head, he found a petite figure clinging to him like an octopus.

Her glossy black hair spilled across him, just enough to serve as a second blanket.

Ling Yuan reached out and lightly tapped her on the head.

In an instant, Ophis turned into black light and slipped into the Ouroboros pattern on the back of Ling Yuan's hand.

After getting out of bed, Ling Yuan released Ophis again and covered her with a blanket.

After washing up.

Ling Yuan began preparing breakfast.

By the time Ophis woke up, the two of them, along with a shrunken Belleronus, enjoyed a warm breakfast together.

Katarina: "Good morning, everyone!"

Black Pupil: "It's already eight. That's not early. My training started at five."

Katarina: "! Miss Black Pupil is that dedicated?"

Akame: "For an assassin, once the body becomes lax and you cannot fully unleash your strength during an assassination, the final result will be getting killed instead."

Akame: "Also, my codename in the group chat is Akame. Don't get it wrong."

Maple: "Does the name 'Akame' have some special meaning?"

Akame: "Akame is my older sister..."

Katarina: "So Miss Black Pupil likes her older sister very much?"

Akame: "Of course. I love her very much, but she ultimately betrayed the empire. Unforgivable! I will find that sister of mine and make her stay by my side forever."

Maple: "Something about that feels strange."

Ling Yuan: "What Black Pupil means is that she wants to kill 'Akame,' then turn her into a puppet and keep her by her side forever."

Eighth Princess: "!!!"

Katarina: "S-So scary! I never thought Miss Black Pupil was that kind of person."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Turning your sister into a puppet? In our world, that kind of dark power would be purged."

Maple: "A twisted kind of love?"

Akame: "..."

Akame: "You don't need to care at all. I am someone who lives in darkness. I am ultimately different from all of you."

Akame: "Besides, since we are all in different worlds, I have no way to cross worlds and kill anyone."

Ling Yuan: "Actually, you do."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "What do you mean?"

Ling Yuan: "Don't tell me none of you noticed the group chat points and the shop?"

Ling Yuan: "Group check-ins give you points every day, and you can exchange those points for items in the group shop. For example, a Transmigration Card lets you travel to another world for one hundred points."

Katarina: "Does that mean everyone can come to my world?!"

Katarina was overjoyed. With these people around, she would no longer need to worry about her future fate at all.

Maple: "Does that mean an offline gathering? Then I'll treat everyone to apple pie my mom makes herself."

Eighth Empire.

Ren Kougyoku stared blankly at the conversation in the group chat.

If they could travel to this world, then could she visit other worlds too?

After all, if possible, she truly wanted to escape this palace.

Ding! Lightning Dragon Slayer checked in and received 5 points.

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "? How long am I supposed to save these up?"

Ling Yuan: "The group chat has many hidden functions too, like livestreams, voice calls, video calls, and so on. Everyone can explore them on their own."

Ling Yuan: "I have something to deal with, so I'll log off first."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Get lost already."

Katarina: "Goodbye, Group Owner."

Maple: "Goodbye, Group Owner brother."

Eighth Princess: "Goodbye."

After leaving the group chat.

Ling Yuan smiled faintly as he watched Ophis fiddling with her phone.

"Xiao Fei, come on. I'll take you to buy some clothes today."

"Mm."

Ophis jumped down from the sofa, trotted over to Ling Yuan, and took his large hand.

At the same time.

Tian Ce Mountain Range.

"Damn it, how did those people know I was hiding here?"

A figure completely wrapped in demonic energy raced through the forest.

From time to time, he looked behind him, a savage expression appearing on his face.

"A Demon General from the Heavenly Peak War ten years ago. Who would have thought he would come to Tianmang City to recuperate?" A capable woman wearing glasses said as she held a tablet in one hand.

"Speed up and stop him. We absolutely cannot let him reach Tianmang City. Also, how is the defensive barrier?" Director Wang Jing asked.

"It has already been deployed, but the chances of stopping the Sky Nightmare Demon General are rather low. Even injured, he is still at the Demon General level. Our defensive formation only has six layers."

"It's fine. We'll hold him for as long as we can. My strength is equal to the Sky Nightmare Demon General's. With your support, it will be enough to destroy him!" Wang Jing said.

Compared to a Demon Lord, encountering a crippled Demon General was already incredibly fortunate.

He did not dare ask for anything more.

The forests surrounding Tianmang City.

Because of the Spiritual Energy Resurgence a hundred years ago, Blue Star's landmass had begun expanding, forcing cities that had once been clustered together to separate.

The surrounding areas were also covered in dense forests.

Under normal circumstances, the forests blocking the routes should have been cleared away. However, recalling the filthy, smoke-filled world of the past, those in power chose not to remove the forests. Instead, they protected them.

The various cities were connected through the most advanced means of transportation or teleportation formations.

Following Wang Jing's orders, all transport trains had already ceased operation.

The civilians had also been evacuated early, leaving behind an empty war zone.

Bang!

Suddenly.

A tremendous crashing sound rang out in the sky.

The Transcendents stationed behind looked solemnly at the black figure in the sky, blocked by the protective barrier.

When blood became sufficiently murky and filthy, it could condense into black.

What covered the Demon General's body at that moment was the power he had absorbed during the last war between humans and demons.

"I can sense an extremely dense life force below. If I devour it all, I may be able to return to my peak!"

"Tch. I had planned to peacefully recover from my injuries, then use the Blood Sacrifice of this city's people to break through to the Demon Lord level. I never expected to be discovered ahead of time."

Thinking of this, Sky Nightmare was furious.

Damn it!

If he found out which bastard had exposed him, he would make sure that bastard learned what it meant for urine to flow backward!

"Achoo!"

Ling Yuan, who was waiting for Ophis to change clothes, sneezed.

"Strange. I wonder which guy is talking behind my back about how handsome I am."

Creak~

Just as Ling Yuan was smugly admiring himself, the fitting room door opened.

Ophis, dressed in a white lolita outfit, walked out with light steps.

Then she looked calmly at Ling Yuan. "Does it look good?"

If one looked carefully, a hint of anticipation could be seen in her eyes.

"It's very cute. No, Ophis looks cutest no matter what she wears." A flash of amazement passed through Ling Yuan's eyes as he smiled and rubbed Ophis's little head.

After hearing that, Ophis did not look happy. Instead, she fell into thought.

"What's wrong?" Ling Yuan asked curiously.

"I'm thinking that if I don't wear clothes, would Ling Yuan like me even more?"

"Pfft!"

"Who taught you to say that?" Ling Yuan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
