Magic Evil King's True Eye!

The reason why Xiao Mai's strength hasn't improved much:

Wu Tong (true thoughts): The joy of nurturing is watching your little apprentice grow little by little. If I just start by leveling her up to the maximum level and turning her into a super strong person, then what is the point of my existence as her master?

Wu Tong (on the surface): So, Xiao Mai, you have to remember one thing: if you want to become stronger, you need to put in the corresponding sweat and effort. Only these sweat and effort will never deceive you!

By: Zuoqiu Ming, a "famous teacher" who got to where he is today by relying on cheat codes and has never suffered much hardship from childhood to adulthood!

——

Although his strength didn't improve much, the life-saving items Wu Tong gave him were absolutely top-notch!

Things like Absolute Defense Barrier, Eternal Aegis super Soul Tool, Hymn of Life healing imprints, Demi-Human Bloodline Bestowal, Resurrection Coin...

These unparalleled treasures, which can be called divine artifacts and divine skills, are practically a dime a dozen in Xiao Mai's hands, and are worthless!

In other words, Xiao Mai is currently a super fortress with very weak attack power.

Although she can't beat others, others can't beat her either, and might even get hurt in return.

Especially with the Thorned Armor, this damage reflection becomes even more powerful.

If it's a head-on attack, Xiao Mai might not be a match, but if they try to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack... well, we can only pray that the person who launches the sneak attack will at least have a complete corpse!

Therefore, the following scenes, enhanced by Xiao Mai's powerful anti-armor, began to become extremely cruel...

Just as that "black spear" was about to fall on Xiao Mai.

Suddenly, a jade ornament hanging from Xiao Mai's waist emitted a translucent blue crystal light, Xiao Mai and protected Umaru without saying a word!

Immediately afterward, the "black spear" that had been swung at the moment it touched the crystal light screen turned back along its original path at an even faster speed.

Pfft...

With the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh, a hoarse roar immediately echoed through the forest.

However, this was ultimately a futile effort; the passing of life would not stop because of its roar.

Soon, the attacker's life came to an end.

Because they were so close, and because the commotion around Xiao Mai was quite significant, both Hestia and the members of the Hestia Familia turned their attention to this place.

"Monster attack!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Xiao Mai didn't waste any time and immediately began to warn them.

Just as the "black spear" landed on the protective shield, after that brief pause, Xiao Mai recognized the true nature of the "black spear" that attacked her.

That "black spear"—no, it shouldn't be called a spear—was clearly visible to Xiao Mai; it was obviously a scorpion's tail!

Moreover, its tail was covered in a nauseating Venom that emitted a foul, blackish-purple odor.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mai quickly added, "Oh right, I just saw that thing that attacked me, it looked like a black scorpion's tail!"

"Also, that tail is poisonous, everyone please be careful!"

It can only be said that Xiao Mai's reminder was very effective, but the members of the Hestia Familia did not hear the last sentence at all.

Because they had already focused all their attention on the news the moment they heard about the scorpion's tail.

With such a long scorpion tail, this scorpion must be very big, right?

It seems that there are no other monsters besides the Killer Scorpion that can grow to such a size.

But they clearly remembered that the Killer Scorpion was a monster unique to the Dungeon!

Doesn't that mean...?

Andariel, the Calamity Scorpion!!!

Realizing this, all the members of the clan became excited.

The members of the Hestia Familia had not seen the story, so they did not know what Andariel looked like.

Even so, it didn't stop them from guessing the monster's identity.

A jet-black scorpion, nearby ruins, the Great Tree Sea.

Considering all three factors, there can only be one scorpion that could be here, and that can only be their target for this expedition— the Calamity Scorpion Andariel!

After figuring it out, the women immediately began to rub their hands together, their fighting spirit exceptionally high.

Well, we've finally found you, the Andariel who made us run around for three days straight without being able to shower or wash, and who had to sleep in the open.

It's truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!"

Thinking of this, the women suppressed their excitement and drew their weapons, preparing for the final battle.

Some even brought out the portable tactical nuclear bombs that Hestia had prepared for them, intended to take down the enemy with them.

As for the claim that they can't escape even after the nuclear bombs are dropped?

LOL, since there are Resurrection Coin to fall back on, you can Resurrection even if you die, so you're not afraid of dying at all!

Seeing this, Hestia immediately realized the women had misunderstood and quickly stopped them from their suicide attempt, shouting:

"Don't panic, everyone! The scorpion that attacked Xiao Mai isn't Andariel. It's still sealed inside the ruins and can't get out. What's here is just Split Sub-body of its own..."

Ah?

So it was just Split Sub-body?

Upon hearing this, the women of the Hestia Familia all sighed and put away the nuclear bombs.

While it's a bit extravagant to perish along with the mission objective, it's still somewhat acceptable. But to perish along with its split offspring is just too brainless!

However, even though they put away the nuclear bombs, the women still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Why isn't the one that came from the real Andariel?

If that's true, then they can swarm in, take care of Andariel, and then return with their loot!

Ah... what a pity...

"Alright, let's just treat it like playing a game. Isn't it common sense to clear out the mobs before fighting the boss?"

Seeing the women's sudden loss of interest, Wu Tong thought for a moment and understood their thoughts. He then smiled and comforted them:

"Furthermore, don't think that 'small monsters' are easy to deal with. The 'small monster' level you are about to face is actually quite difficult."

"With your current strength, it will take a lot of effort to get through this!"

Hearing Wu Tong's words, the women didn't say much on the surface, but they secretly rolled their eyes.

Fighting even a small monster requires effort? How is that possible? You have to know that they have put in a lot of sweat and effort to obtain this power. If they have to work hard to even fight a small monster, they might as well just commit seppuku!

Wu Tong noticed the women's indifference, but he simply shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Some things can only be understood by witnessing them firsthand; simply talking about them is not very useful!

Just like now, no matter how much he says, the women who haven't witnessed the number of split bodies have no concept of it. Even if they agree with him, they are only outwardly convinced but inwardly not.

But it doesn't matter, the coming Split Body Wave will teach them a lesson!

Soon, the women, who were on high alert, faced their enemy— the Calamity Scorpion Split Body.

Its carapace was as black as ink, with patterns resembling red breathing lights and gleaming with a metallic luster. It had a tail spike like a long spear, covered with foul-smelling Venom, as well as two pairs of terrifying giant claws and mouthparts.

This makes the entire split look like a monster with the appearance of a scorpion.

Apart from its shape being somewhat similar to a scorpion, the rest of its features have absolutely nothing to do with scorpions!

And this is the enemy the women will face next—the split form of Calamity Scorpion Andariel!

Upon seeing the monster appear, the women immediately turned their attention to it and examined it closely.

Hmm, very good. Although they look impressive, they are actually no match for them.

Little piece of trash!

After seeing that the "little monster" Wu Tong mentioned was just such a piece of trash, the girls who were initially worried pursed their lips and immediately felt more confident!

However, before the women could relax, one after another, Scorpion Monster appeared in front of them.

More and more...

Soon, the forest in front of the women was filled with these Scorpion Monsters.

Seeing this, the women's expressions immediately became serious:

They wouldn't take a single monster seriously, but when the group of monsters gathered to a certain extent, even though the women possessed strength far exceeding that of any single monster, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines!

Just like ants, an ordinary person can easily crush a single ant, but once those fragile ants gather together and form an army ant, even the fiercest beasts will have to avoid their sharp edge!

The saying "many ants can kill an elephant" illustrates this point.

If ants accumulate to a certain number, they can also harm elephants.

Moreover, what's more, the opponents they faced were not those fragile ants, but monsters capable of taking lives!

Therefore, when they saw the growing, densely packed sea of monsters gradually converging into a "wave," the women couldn't help but take it seriously.

It seems, it appears, it should, it probably... What Wu Tong said seems to be true!

It seems they'll have a really tough time getting through this!

"Waaah..."

How scary, how scary, how scary...

When Pochi saw this terrifying scene, she was so frightened that she started trembling. Even the single ahoge (cowlick) on her head started to droop listlessly!

Hoshino Ai, who had been watching her closely, saw this scene. Although she was already used to her new friend's personality, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless when she saw it again.

This Pokemon is truly... true to its original aspirations!

After so many battles, she's still in this state. It's amazing how she managed to level up to lv5 so quickly...

Sigh~

With a helpless sigh, Hoshino Ai patted Hitori Gotō on the shoulder and began her usual pre-battle pep talk:

"Little Bocchi, what are you so afraid of? You're a level 5, and even though you're just a support character, your physical abilities far surpass those of a typical level 4."

"And all you need to do is provide buffs from the back, you don't have to fight on the field?"

"Besides, have you forgotten again? With all those life-saving items you have, let alone these Splitter Monsters, even a true god probably wouldn't be able to do anything to you..."

Hoshino Ai was right when she said that.

As Zhongji the Familia team, she is also a super support with Heaven-Defying Magic that is comparable to a cheat code.

Hestia was extremely concerned about the safety of Hitori Gotō.

She was given a variety of precious life-saving items, defensive items, and Resurrection Item, and not just one of each.

With these items, let alone Andariel's split body, even if a god whose divine power has been unsealed came, it would take a long time to subdue her!

Hearing Hoshino Ai's words of comfort, Hitori Gotō blinked:

Right, she has all the life-saving trump cards that Lady Hestia prepared for her, these monsters can't do anything to her, so what is she afraid of?

Realizing this, Hitori Gotō's emotions immediately calmed down. Although she still looked somewhat timid, she was much better than before!

Seeing this, Hoshino Ai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's important to know that Hitori Gotō's magic will be crucial for the upcoming battle.

If she had really become withdrawn, there was no guarantee that things wouldn't go wrong in the upcoming battles, which would have been quite troublesome. Fortunately, she was persuaded to come back to life before the battle began...

Hoshino Ai: As expected of me. jpg!

However, the behavior on the other side was completely opposite to that of Hitori Gotō:

"Hahahaha... You evil, Eerie Demon Scorpion, you dare to charge at me instead of running away from me, the dignified Evil Eye User?"

"Very well, I didn't expect a group of demons to possess such courage. Well then, as a reward for the brave, let me show you the power of my Evil King's True Eye, which is enough to destroy the world!"

Looking at the dense Scorpion Monster in the forest, Rikka Takanashi showed no fear on her face, but rather an excited and eager expression.

As she spoke, her right eye began to glow with a brilliant Golden Light. Even though it was daytime, the Golden Light was extremely dazzling under the sun!

His golden pupils seemed to be composed of countless densely packed magic circles, giving him a majestic and sacred appearance.

Just by looking at it, it exudes an overwhelming sense of power and awe.

The Evil King's True Eye!

The magic, born from Rikka Takanashi's unwavering inner resolve, possesses a terrifying ability called the Fantasy Materialization Domain.
