After treating the last junior student Mahiru Shiina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, everything's fine now. Be careful next time, okay?"

The second Special Class had only 45 students, and this time more than 30 of them were injured. The most serious injury was losing an arm, but it has now grown back.

Mahiru Shiina's Healing Magic is truly powerful, but it also kept her busy for a long time before she was able to heal the last junior.

"Thank you, senior!" Feeling the scars on her body disappear, the girl was overjoyed; girls care quite a bit about these things.

Mahiru Shiina smiled gently. She didn't say anything, but got up and walked out of the tent. Asuna and the others were there at that moment.

Seeing Mahiru arrive, Xia Yu quickly said, "Mahiru- chan, thank you for your hard work! I'm so glad you were here!"

Those newbies were incredibly unlucky; many of them almost got wiped out. Who would believe it? But they were also just unlucky to run into an elite team.

Fortunately, a few of them managed to hold off the enemy; otherwise, they might have been wiped out. This incident gave everyone a fright, as they had never experienced anything like this before, even though they had been injured before.

"Let's not let them Independent Action anymore. Let's have each team lead one team!" Asuna said with a hint of helplessness.

At first, those guys said they wanted to train, Asuna thought about it and agreed. Who knew they'd be so unlucky? They almost got wiped out.

Asuna refused to let them go out alone, after all, she couldn't afford the consequences; if something really went wrong, they would definitely be the ones to take the blame.

Although no one would blame them, since losses are inevitable in war, they simply wouldn't forgive themselves.

This Special Class is very important; they were all carefully selected. Asuna naturally doesn't want to lose anything, so the best solution is to prevent them from Independent Action in the future.

"I support it! From now on, every team should bring along a squad!" Yukino was the first to speak, supporting Asuna's idea.

Next came the others, and everyone raised their hands in agreement; no one wanted to see their junior sister sacrifice herself.

Yuki Suou and Sakayori Iroha were also there. Hearing what their seniors were saying, they exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat helpless. There was nothing they could do; they were just too unlucky this time.

"Hey, what happened?" Just as everyone raised their hands in agreement, Li Yu's voice rang out abruptly. Hearing this familiar voice, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

Asuna looked towards the direction of the voice first and said, "Li Yu, what brings you here? Are you done with your work?"

"Senior Li Yu!" "Senior Li Yu!!" "Li Yu!" Everyone greeted Li Yu, though there were some dissenting voices as well.

The moment Li Yu appeared, a blue-haired goddess gasped, her fur standing on end like a cat, staring at Li Yu in disbelief and screaming, "Aaaaaah, God Slayer!!"

"Shut up, Aqua!!" Kazuma was furious. What are you trying to do? Can't you see this is the boss? Did you hear how everyone addresses him? They're either calling him "senpai" or just calling him by his name.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Asuna's leader. Kazuma excited at this moment because the real powerhouse has arrived.

Hearing Aqua's title for Li Yu, he became even more excited. God Slayer? That was fantastic! Did that mean this powerful figure was even stronger than a god? Otherwise, how could he have killed a god?

Li Yu nodded to everyone, then his gaze fell on Aqua, a slight smile playing on his lips. The next moment, the aura of God Slayer emanating from him began to lash out at Aqua.

At that moment, Aqua, who was already on edge, was instantly terrified and burst into tears. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, curling up into a ball and screaming, "Don't kill me!!!"

Everyone was dumbfounded by the goddess's reaction, but they were used to it by now. After spending so much time together, they all knew what kind of person this goddess was.

Some even speculated that perhaps it was because her rank was too high that the celestial realm couldn't do anything to her; otherwise, such a disgraceful person should have been expelled from the divine ranks long ago, right?

"Alright, stop scaring her!" Asuna quickly stepped in to smooth things over. She was exasperated; why was her boyfriend targeting Aqua the moment he arrived? What was going on?

Hearing Asuna's words, Li Yu also suppressed his aura and said with a smile, "This goddess is really embarrassing, tsk tsk, not as good as Eris!"

Despite hearing something very unpleasant, Aqua didn't dare utter a single word. Li Yu also stopped teasing her. After sensing the situation in the camp, he looked at Asuna and the others with some surprise.

"How did they get injured?" Those people clearly had just been treated, which was quite strange. Had they encountered a powerful enemy?

Or did something unexpected happen?

Upon hearing this, everyone didn't hide anything and truthfully explained the reason. After Li Yu understood the situation, he was helpless.

"It was really a stretch, but it's alright. Consider it a lesson learned. Even the dead can be resurrected." Li Yu didn't take it too seriously, treating it as a lesson. He believed that after this, those people would be more careful.

Hearing Li Yu's words, everyone nodded. That was indeed the case. In fact, if there had really been a problem, they would have been teleported away long ago. The fact that none of these people were teleported away indicated that the problem was not serious.

"Have you finished your work on your end?" Asuna asked again, a question Li Yu hadn't answered yet.

Li Yu nodded, and explained with a smile, "I'm done with work, and there have been tremendous changes on the Boundary Island. You'll be amazed when you get back!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's interest was piqued. Something was wrong back home? If that were the case, they'd better hurry! Once they've dealt with the Demon God of this world, they can go back!!

"Quickly, let's speed things up and finish dealing with this world, then go back!!" Xia Yu exclaimed excitedly, clamoring to go home!!

Come to think of it, they've been out for quite a while now, and everyone should head back. This time, they've all been out for rather long.

Watching Xia Yu keep shouting, Li Yu couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed like it had been a long time since he'd heard this guy yelling; he felt a little nostalgic.

"Now all that's left is to take down the Demon King." Asuna finished speaking and looked into the distance. They weren't far from the Demon King's Castle. Once they dealt with that guy, this world would be completely settled.

Hearing Asuna's words, Li Yu nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In that case, you'd better hurry up. I'll stay here and support you from now on!"

Li Yu's words immediately brightened everyone's eyes. Of course, they had no problem with it; with Li Yu backing them up, they could feel even more at ease.

The demon king in this world must be very powerful; otherwise, the gods would have dealt with him long ago, and he wouldn't have remained undefeated for so many years.

If Li Yu knew Asuna's thoughts, he would definitely laugh out loud. The Demon King of this world is strong? Laughable! If he were that strong, he wouldn't be hiding in the Demon King's Castle. What do you think the Demon King's barrier is for?

That was meant to defend against the Crimson Demon Clan and Aqua's fanatical followers. Of course, the Demon King wasn't exactly a good person either, so it's not a big deal if he gets killed; after all, some guys really aren't human.

Whether it's the Demon King, the Crimson Demon Clan, or Aqua's church in this world, it's all related to Aqua; it's all the mess she left behind.

It's safe to say that Aqua is truly inhumane. What has she done to this once wonderful world? The Demon King was thrown here by Aqua, the Crimson Demon Clan appeared after Aqua's modifications, and the Axis Church is also hers!

Aqua is the root of all the world's ills, which gives you an idea of what outrageous things Aqua has done. It's fortunate that Aqua has a high enough rank, otherwise she would have been crushed by the Celestials long ago.

Presumably, the goddesses in the heavens can't do anything about this guy either. They can't just kill him directly, so they can only let him be, completely abandoning him and letting her do whatever she wants.

This is why, when Aqua chose Kazuma, someone from the Celestial Realm immediately came to take her place and abandoned her.

Damn, what a great opportunity! Why not throw her down? Are we going to leave her here to continue wreaking havoc in the heavens? The Gods probably voted with both hands and feet, or even unanimously, to throw her down.

Even when Aqua was thrown down, the gods probably held a grand feast and celebrated wildly. They had finally driven away this scourge, so it would be strange if they weren't happy.

Asuna made a decision on the spot and shouted to everyone, "Then let's launch the final assault on the Demon King starting tomorrow! Send someone to inform the kingdom that we're going to have a decisive battle!"

She is now the commander of the entire team. With Li Yu absent, she and Yukino usually take the lead. Upon hearing Asuna's order, everyone began to move out of the way. They formed a battle line.

The kingdom in this world is also on the other side of the battlefield. Since they are launching a general offensive, they naturally need to inform the other side. The people on the kingdom's side are aware of their situation and have even provided considerable support.

After giving these instructions, Asuna walked to Li Yu's side and asked with some curiosity, "What did you gain in the New World this time?"

Li Yu always reaps tremendous rewards after exploring each world, and this time will likely be no exception. She was very curious about what good things Li Yu had acquired this time.

In response to Asuna's question, Li Yu shook his head and said, "That world isn't over yet. I only brought back 103,000 magic books. Moreover, that world has a lot of connections with our side. Pandora has traded with the people there, so I might have to go there again in the future!"
