Just Touch It

After Li Yu finished speaking with everyone, he set off and began to walk towards the outskirts of the city. At this time, the Tokyo Area had returned to normal, and due to the previous wave of frenzied killings, the safety index of the entire Tokyo Area had increased significantly.

Especially recently, there haven't been any more Gastrea attacks, and all the children from the city have been gathered and sent to Li Yu's world.

The children arriving now are mostly those who live in the wild or those brought from other cities. The policy issued by the Seitenshi is now being seen by more and more people, in addition to the previous live broadcast.

Now, children from other cities are also interested and are constantly heading towards the Tokyo Area. When Li Yu and his group left the city, they also encountered some children who had formed their own teams.

After entering the city, these children keenly discovered that the people in the area dared not show them any disgust, and some even gave them a lot of food in a kind manner.

This unprecedented attitude finally put many children at ease, and it seemed that the city was indeed willing to accept them, just as the news reported.

Li Yu glanced at the children, a smile immediately spreading across his face. He then quickened his pace and headed outside, indicating that the previous live stream had been quite successful.

After leaving the city, the group quickly marched in one direction, advancing at an astonishing speed with the aid of Lightness Technique.

At this point, there were no more Gastrea in the wild. The group traveled for over a hundred miles before slowly encountering them. Faced with the Gastrea, Li Yu didn't need to lift a finger; the others simply swarmed them and killed them instantly.

Bell Haruhime also rushed forward. After all, this was like an experience bar in everyone's eyes; the more people they killed, the better. Who would refuse such a good thing?

Before nightfall, the group arrived not far from where Scorpio was located, where Li Yu and the others were. They could clearly see the mountain-like figure lying prostrate on the sea.

Although it was getting dark, everyone noticed the other's condition: its body was covered with eyes that looked like red light bulbs, and tentacles were swaying from time to time.

"It's kind of... Cthulhu Mythos- esque." At this moment, even the giant creature in the distance couldn't help but be surprised. Someone couldn't help but make this comment, because this thing was too sanity-dropping.

In the anime, this thing was instantly destroyed by a single electromagnetic cannon shot. To be honest, it poses no threat at all. As long as your attack range is longer than itss, taking it down would be a simple matter.

"Squad leader, what should we do? Should we rest for the night and start tomorrow?" Xia Yu looked at Li Yu; that thing was really unbearable to look at, with too many Cthulhu Mythos and a bizarre appearance.

Li Yu nodded in agreement. He stared at Scorpio below and said, "Tomorrow morning, lure it to the shore before making a move. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to deal with it in the sea; this guy can escape at any time."

The oceans of this world aren't exactly beautiful places. Where are Gastrea most abundant? Probably in the ocean. Compared to those in the sea, the Gastrea on land are like greenhorns.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately agreed that it made a lot of sense; it was indeed necessary to bring it to land before killing it. If the Gastrea were to actually burrow into the sea, it might very well escape.

Then it will probably be difficult for everyone to encounter it again in the future. The world's oceans are so vast, you can't just drain the seawater. As for diving into the ocean to chase after it, that's never been an option for anyone.

After making the decision, everyone began to prepare to set up camp. Li Yu chose a good spot, then placed his hand on the ground. The next moment, magic surged, and the area was instantly smoothed out, creating a wide clearing.

Then Li Yu took out his tent and started setting it up. Seeing this, the others also came over and took out their own things to set up tents. Once they were done, they dispersed and began to clear out the Gastrea in the vicinity.

Everyone possessed the ability of Life Sense. As long as they activated their perception, they could spot Gastrea as easily as turning on a light, and they could kill them with ease. By the time everyone returned, the surrounding Gastrea had already been cleared out.

After finishing all this, everyone quickly washed up and rested to recharge. At night, Li Yu subtly emitted pheromones to drive away any Gastrea that tried to approach.

After finishing all this, Li Yu fell into a meditative state. Time flew by and it was already the next day. As the first rays of sunlight shone down in the morning, everyone came out of their tents to wash up and then began to pack their things.

"What do we do?" Asuna came to Li Yu's side. She looked again at the huge figure in the distance. The figure was still asleep, but how to get it to the shore was a problem.

Upon hearing Asuna's words, Li Yu immediately said, "You guys get ready to attack. I'll fly over and give it a good whack, then lure it over here."

Every living being has a bad temper when they wake up, and this Scorpio is probably no exception. It's really easy to lure it out; all it takes is a few True Magic to wake it up.

After saying this, Li Yu took to the air and flew directly towards Scorpio below. Seeing this, the others also took out their weapons. Close combat was useless against such a large creature.

So everyone is preparing to unleash True Magic this time, with the main force still being those few who are most skilled in True Magic. The others can only gain experience this time, and perhaps the only one who will actually attack will be Li Yu.

During this period, quite a few people have become proficient in Flight Magic. They may not be as swift as Li Yu, but they can still perform ordinary flight in the air.

The students took off one after another, while those who couldn't fly yet started looking for high vantage points, ready to fight at any moment.

Li Yu flew directly to Scorpio's side. Looking at the thing in front of him, Li Yu raised his hand and condensed a ball of magic power. Scorpio seemed to sense something, and the red, light bulb-like things on its body began to light up.

It opened its huge mouths, and all its eyes turned towards Li Yu's direction. Its massive body began to move, stirring up thousands of waves, and a cry like that of a whale rang out in the air above the sea.

"Woo~!" Scorpio let out a long cry, and a killing intent locked onto Li Yu at that moment. It clearly regarded Li Yu, this human, as dessert for its breakfast.

In particular, the energy emanating from Li Yu made Scorpio instinctively want to devour him. So Scorpio began to move, and its tentacles instantly sprang into action, shooting towards Li Yu.

Seeing this, Li Yu raised an eyebrow. Were they treating him like prey? He fired the magic bullet in his hand, which instantly rushed towards the location Li Yu had locked onto and hit its target directly.

Boom! A loud noise rang out, and one of the red eyes on Scorpio's body shattered instantly. In the next moment, Scorpio roared angrily, and its speed increased.

Furthermore, energy began to condense within its tentacles, directly blasting towards Li Yu. Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Yu's eyes. Scorpio actually possessed such power?

This is really interesting. The anime didn't show Scorpio's strength at all. How could Scorpio at stage five not have the power that stage four already possesses?

Thinking of this, Li Yu raised his hand and conjured a True Magic shield to block its beam of light attack. He then took the opportunity to retreat quickly and began to lure the opponent ashore.

Scorpio was also moving at this moment. Although its huge body made it seem slow, it was actually quite fast. The others were stunned to see the two sides start fighting immediately.

At this moment, Li Yu's voice rang out in everyone's ears. "Everyone be careful, this guy's ranged attacks are quite good, don't get hit. Lefiya, give everyone a buff!"

"And Haruhime, get Asuna, Yukino, Kato Megumi, Ais, Lefiya, Yun Shu, Xia Yu, Tione, Tiona into the Kunou; Megumi, your next task is to provide support, and if necessary, lead everyone to infiltrate the Shadow." Li Yu arranged a series of things while attracting Scorpio.

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, the people who had been named quickly gathered around Haruhime, and Haruhime hurriedly took out her Kagura Bell.

"I'm already at level three, True Magic only lasts for half an hour, so you all need to be careful to time it right!" she instructed the group directly.

Hearing her words, everyone nodded, except for the new students who were completely confused. But what they witnessed next was an incredible scene.

Then, Haruhime raised the Kagura bell in her hand and began to chant. "Flow, golden song, Tamamo's summoning poem, white-faced, golden-haired, king of nine tails. Devour everything, realize everything, tail of the auspicious beast, dance!"

As Haruhime finished chanting, nine beams of light emerged from Haruhime and fell upon the nine people. After these beams of light entered everyone's bodies...

Their auras surged instantly, their strength rising from the fourth rank to the Fifth Tier, with Ais was at the Sixth Tier, even breaking through to the Seventh Tier.

Shikimori and the others stared blankly at what was happening. What the hell? Forcibly raising True Magic by one stage? Was this a joke?

"Wow, that's powerful! Let's go, let's get moving!" Xia Yu felt the state of her body, and her face immediately turned rosy.

This was also the first time Haruhime had experienced True Magic; she had never had the chance before. Now it was finally her turn, and both her physical strength and magical power increased several times over.

Without any hesitation, Xia Yu transformed into a streak of lightning and flew into the sky. After the upgrade, her control over Flight Magic also became stronger.

Now, let that Scorpio see what a real lightning strike looks like! As Xia Yu flew into the air, she began to prepare, her magic surging within her. She planned to unleash her most powerful attack!

The others also sprang into action. Kato Megumi completely concealed her presence and disappeared into the shadows, while Ais, Asuna Yukino Yukinoshita, and the others rushed out.

"Hoo!" After using the True Magic, Haruhime felt her legs go weak. Using the True Magic all at once had exhausted her Divine Power. If she hadn't learned the True Magic of this world and had always used the old method, she probably would have fainted on the spot.

Mahiru Shiina saw Haruhime's legs go weak and she sat down on the ground. She immediately went to her and injected some magic into her to help her recover a little.

Lefiya then used her True Magic to buff everyone present, and began preparing for battle.

Li Yu returned at that moment, and the Scorpio was immediately drawn to Li Yu. At the same time, the Scorpio also noticed the group of people, and its killing intent instantly locked onto them.

Sensing the overwhelming aura of savagery, everyone's expression changed instantly. Without any command, they scattered and launched their attack.

Flying in the sky, Ais gathered her wind elemental magic and unleashed her full power at the Seventh Tier, slashing out a wind blade over a hundred meters long.

Asuna was equally unwilling to be outdone, and she also began to launch a fierce attack by manipulating the wind element. As for Yukino Yukinoshita, she also activated ice and snow True Magic, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and a layer of frost slowly spread across the ground.

She planned to freeze Scorpio forcibly, and the scattered crowd also launched an attack, with all sorts of True Magic clashing against Scorpio.

The battle began. Although Scorpio could use ranged attacks, they seemed to be limited in frequency. With everyone's terrifying mobility, the opponent's ranged attacks did not pose much of a threat.

Ais's wind blade struck Scorpio first, the cyan wind blade forcefully slashing towards Scorpio, and a painful wail echoed through the sky.

This attack almost instantly killed Scorpio, and then came the True Magic attacks from the others. Everyone was frantically squeezing out their magic power, attacking each other as if it were free.

"Thunder God's Descent!" Just then, Xia Yu's voice rang out in the sky, where a huge golden Magic Array had somehow formed.

A thick bolt of lightning erupted from the Magic Array and struck Scorpio directly, accompanied by a deafening boom that echoed across the sky.

In an instant, this attack became the most eye-catching thing on the battlefield, and Li Yu, who saw this scene, was immediately terrified.

He hurriedly said, "Hui, catch that idiot! She's out of magic. That moron just squeezed all his magic out of him."

Watching Xia Yu fall from the sky, Li Yu really wanted to curse. She really didn't care about her own life or death, just to cause this, right?

"Leave it to me!" Kato Megumi's lips twitched slightly, and the next moment a black light shot out from the ground, quickly forming Kato Megumi's figure.

She flew into the air and caught Xia Yu in her arms before landing safely on the ground. Li Yu's words had naturally reached Xia Yu's ears.

After regaining some of her magic power, she said with great dissatisfaction, "I'm not an idiot! Class monitor, you've gone too far! How can you call a girl an idiot?!"

I'm so angry! This was my all-out attack, and you just see me as an idiot?! Class monitor, you're such a jerk!!

"Hilarious! You're a one-shot wonder! You don't even leave yourself a way out? I've never seen anyone as stupid as you!" Li Yu said as he prepared the final touches.

He took out his staff, and then infused it with magic, forcibly interrupting the Magic Array released by Xia Yu in the air.

He forcibly replaced the magic power inside with his own and severed Xia Yu's connection with the Magic Array.

After all, the True Magic Xia Yu used was created by Li Yu, so Li Yu was undoubtedly the most familiar with True Magic, and no one else dared to say they were second to him.

Li Yu accepted the Magic Array, and Xia Yu reacted immediately. But the next moment, she saw the goal she wanted to pursue in this life.

The single golden True Magic Array in the sky, which had been there initially, began to multiply, with several more Magic Array appearing below it.

Gold, red, gold, red, gold, red—layer upon layer of nested dolls created a dazzling scene. The six layers of Magic Array stacked together left Xia Yu completely bewildered.

"Watch closely, this move is called Thunderfire Sword!" As Li Yu's voice fell, the six Magic Array instantly erupted. First, a bolt of lightning struck from the Upper Floors Magic Array, which was also created by Xia Yu, passing through the fire Magic Array below.

Immediately afterwards, a fire Magic Array enveloped the lightning bolt in flames, and this process was repeated until finally a thick bolt of lightning, wreathed in flames, descended from the sky like a sharp sword.

This was the Thunderfire Sword that Li Yu had mentioned. This move landed directly on Scorpio, and the next moment a huge explosion resounded through the sky.

A terrifying aftershock swept over them, instantly affecting the group who were casting spells. Asuna, Yukino, and the others were left completely bewildered.

Is this supposed to just wipe out Scorpio instantly? Then what's the point of us attacking? Can't you handle it yourself?

The students started scurrying away, cursing and swearing, while Xia Yu, who was being held by Kato Megumi, felt everything go black before her eyes, and then found herself rushing through the darkness.

When she saw the light again, she had been placed in a safe place, but Kato Megumi was no longer there.

However, Xia Yu quickly figured out where she went. At that moment, Kato Megumi transformed into a shadow and moved swiftly, pulling all the running classmates into the darkness and bringing them to her side.

At this moment, Kato Megumi, as an assassin, fully unleashed her power, which also made Xia Yu suddenly understand why Li Yu had asked Kato Megumi to assist him.

This was clearly planned from the beginning. He intended to kill the monster instantly, and having so many of them attack was just to let them gain experience from the monster... like in a game, the monster only needs to be hit once, and the rest is left to the expert!!
