Lantian Nagisa's Road to Patching Things Up / Don't Rush

[Cong Yu's Wife]

[World-Destroying Demon King]

And so, I wrote down my slightly different thoughts, and then waited for the short, pink-haired homeroom teacher to collect them.

Yaochuan Guang himself was lazily sprawled on the back desk...

That is, on Cong Yu's table.

With her eyes closed, looking like she hadn't slept enough and was troubled by spring fatigue... she's practically an embarrassment to magical girls.

With a sigh, Cong Yu reached out and messed up Yaochuan Guang's hair, then, under Yao Chuan Guang's glare, she combed it again.

Otherwise, Cong Yu's fate might be similar to that of the dog owners in pet videos who pet their dogs against their fur... She might not get bitten, but she'll definitely get scolded.

In response, Yaochuan Guang's homeroom teacher, observing the interaction between the two and reviewing Yaochuan Guang's letter of intent...

Ugh, I'm numb.

Good heavens, the homeroom teacher is being fed dog food by the students!

Thinking this, the homeroom teacher, who had collected all the students' application forms, left dejectedly...

Look, she looks like a dog.

--

That day, Wind City TV began compiling the "future career planning intentions" of the students in preparation for tomorrow's program.

There are many selection criteria, such as the "most popular" and the "most unusual" preferences.

As for the "most unrealistic" intentions.

Everyone was somewhat perplexed...

This survey included two very important questions.

One is called "Duel King," the other "World-Destroying Demon King"—which one is more unrealistic?

With everyone thinking this way, Royal Vote, and "World-Destroying Demon King" was chosen as the most unrealistic option to appear in tomorrow's program.

However, to say whether it's truly impossible for someone to "hold" such a job...

It's hard to say.

Chapter 572 Lantian Zhu's Patchwork Path

Lantian Zhu is very strong.

Hmm? That sounds so familiar, that awkward boasting style... The last person (or some) who was praised like that would quickly fall flat.

(Lantian Zhu: Oh no, it's coming for me.)

However, this time it wasn't such an overstatement.

Because...

When the two finished transforming and officially began their sparring...

Lantian Zhu threw a left hook, a left front kick, and a right roundhouse kick, one after another... Ahhh!!!

Dente couldn't defend against any of these three moves, and that was all.

Within three moves, Lantian Zhu had Dente kneeling on the ground... causing many strange people in the tavern to gasp in surprise.

"I... damn it..."

Dente was completely stunned by the explosion, and his transformation was shattered. If Lantian Zhu hadn't stopped, he probably would have collapsed to the side, mouth agape and eyes closed.

"That's too harsh! Couldn't you have been a little gentler?"

Complaining like this, Dente, clutching her back, struggled to her feet and then looked up at the Lantian Zhu.

Surprisingly, Lantian Zhu didn't seem to be in much better shape than her at this moment... she had obvious cracks on her left hand.

Layer upon layer of cracks, hardening and lifting

His skin made Lantian Zhu look as if he had upside-down scales on his body.

However, it might not just be her left hand; her left and right legs, the very places where that "Glory Detonation" was unleashed, should have experienced the same phenomenon.

It was seeping blood, and upon closer inspection, it revealed a faint, bluish mist, like steam, exuding a magical light and indigo hue.

Although Lantian Zhu's expression remained as calm as ever, it was quite obvious that her injuries were not minor.

"6"

Dente was somewhat astonished. She looked at herself, completely unharmed, and then at Lantian Zhu, who was seriously injured... at least in her eyes, she was seriously injured.

"How come your technique... inflicts 800 damage on the enemy but also 18,000 damages on yourself?"

As he said this, Dente sighed and said, "If you really don't have any good spells, I can ask the Church for some spells for you."

The magical girls in Japan must have gone mad; they're willing to risk their own lives for what doesn't seem like much of a threat.

Even the people in the Inquisition weren't this crazy.

As for what Dente said in his heart, whether it was Tereido, the slightly more intelligent weirdo, or even Lantian Zhu and Little Shadow, it was all true.

They all looked at Dente as if he were an idiot.

These people did know what Dente had misunderstood... but the reason she was so lightly injured was clearly because Lantian Zhu hadn't really gone all out.

Even a five-year-old could know that, right?

No one paid much attention to Dente's strange remarks, while Tereido examined Lantian Zhu's already slender arms.

It was truly a scene of utter devastation.

This power is indeed formidable, but it's clearly a tremendous burden on the body... However, it seems to be much better relatively speaking.

"Localized damage... that's quite interesting."

Having accurately observed this, Tereido asked curiously, resting her chin on her hand, "Wouldn't that make the burden less?"

"Ah, the burden should naturally decrease... My question is probably just a meaningless platitude."

Lantian Zhu nodded at Tereido's words.

The original [Source Severance - Radiance] was a technique that said, "Whatever, I'll explode!" No matter what... it would explode all over the body.

Following the improvements made to Lantian Zhu, an improvement was achieved that allowed for localized detonation, detonating in one direction.

This way, there will be less injury and less strain.

And...

"Furthermore, it doesn't directly involve the explosion of the Mana-Supplying Organ. So although the burden still exists, and it will still become fragmented, the degree will be much lighter."

As Lantian Zhu spoke, she looked at her arm, which was recovering very slowly, even by the standards of a "magical girl's healing speed."

For example...

Originally, Lantian Zhu might have been able to ignite "Radiance" seven or eight times in a row before feeling a tightness in his chest and being overwhelmed.

But if we switch to localized detonation now...

Although its power is reduced and its strike area is narrower, it could probably be detonated sixteen or seventeen times in a row before it could be considered overuse.

"You are truly an incredible genius."

Tereido gave Lantian Zhu a very high evaluation. She glanced at Dente, pondering the difference between magical girls.

Lantian Zhu did not refute Tereido's praise.

Perhaps it hasn't been mentioned before, but Lantian Zhu is indeed a genius... at least a genius in terms of spells.

The "Kiteflame" system's chanting-based spells, while appearing similar to the Great Fireball Technique... it seems like Lantian Zhu has never killed anyone with Kiteflame.

(Chapter 68 - Minion Fish - Viper Monster: Don't be so sarcastic, I almost got beaten to death, but thankfully Cong Yu saved me... although I still died in the end.)

(Zongzheng Ximei: I've been roasted too.)

However, the "Kiteflame" system is undoubtedly a very powerful spell, and its mastery is also extremely difficult...

This is something that Lantian Zhu independently developed and used.

Before the battle with Red, he spent several hours urgently developing the "Burning Lightning, Steamed Blood" technique, which allows magic power to be stored in the blood, specifically for the upcoming battle.

Only a few can master [Source Severance · Radiance] and use it well.

If this isn't genius, then nothing is genius.

At this moment, Dente, who had been ignored by everyone, was speechless.

Dente was furious!

"Hey, why aren't you guys responding?"

With that, Dente crossed her arms, looking displeased. "So, do you want a spell? The Inquisition has spells that are perfect for you."

As he said this, Dente looked at Lantian Zhu and suggested, "The Inquisition's fire magic is world-class, standing at the top of the system... If you want, I can get it for you to observe."

Before Lantian Zhu could speak, Tereido glanced at her and said, "Free? I don't believe you'd be that kind."

What? You actually doubt me, Dente?

Well, you guessed right!

"Five hundred thousand... cough cough, two hundred thousand."

As he said this, Dente patted his chest and assured Lantian Zhu, "Give me two hundred thousand, and I'll make it look beautiful for you, and I'll bring you all the copies of the Inquisition's Fire Spellbook."

Two hundred thousand to buy a Church

The combat department's tactical manual.

Isn't this a bit too cheap?

Lantian Zhu had some doubts—ultimately, did Dente really have a way to get his hands on the book? Did he even have the qualifications?

In response to Lantian Zhu's suspicious gaze, Dente coughed lightly. "I Church... I can borrow and read books freely."

So that's it, they wanted to convert their "merit" into money...

Is that what you mean?

Lantian Zhu was slightly tempted, but before she could speak, Tereido delivered a sharp chop to Dente: "Duang!"

Then, under Dente's fierce gaze as he winced in pain, Tereido withdrew his hand. "Enough talk, I'll pay for it."

Instantly, the ferocity on Dente's face vanished.

Hehehe... Rich woman.

Chapter 573 Don't Rush

Dente Fanmilion

Member of the Church, Bloodhunter Sister, Tereido Brother, Pope's Granddaughter...

These are the identities and statuses Dente possesses, some of the fates she neither desires nor can escape.

Others call her... lubricant.

The Conservative Faction vampire clan's representative and the Church... The King of Wind City and the Church... The Monster Group and the Church...

Lubricating oil.

In other words, Dente now holds considerable influence within the Church... well, it's hard to say exactly how influential he is; it's difficult to find a suitable description.

Okay, fine...

It's "fame and recognition," that's all.

It's to the point that everyone knows she exists and recognizes her. But nobody has any feelings or expectations for her.

No worship, no yearning, no agreement, no opposition, no rejection, no deep exploration... You know, everyone is still very busy.

If Dente is part of the situation, then she naturally has a reason to exist, just like Judas who betrayed her.

People who knew Dente before wouldn't change their attitude towards her just because of the many titles she had acquired.

People who don't know Dente won't come specifically to see her out of curiosity... after all, Dente isn't exactly a rare species.
