Chapter 163 With Magic, Who Needs Melee Combat?
The familiar voice startled Xia Sheng, and he turned around abruptly.
They were two familiar figures.
One was tall and mature, the other slender and aloof—Sakurajima Mai and Shinomiya Kaguya had arrived!
After he and Yukino Yukinoshita dealt with the intruders.
Xia Sheng was too lazy to think about it anymore; his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally completely at ease.
The two of them are fine.
Overwhelmed with emotion, he couldn't help but rush towards Mai Sakurajima, grabbing her and holding her tightly in his arms.
"Thank goodness, you're all alright!" He was overjoyed, his happiness evident in his words.
"Natsuo...:..?" Sakurajima Mai froze, she didn't expect Natsuo to suddenly hug her.
But hearing his worried tone and caring embrace, she didn't push him away, but gently hugged him back.
"What's wrong?" she asked gently.
Xia Sheng's appearance clearly indicated something was wrong, and she had also noticed the changes in her surroundings, suggesting that something had already happened.
Kaguya Shinomiya, standing to the side, watched the two embracing without much change in expression, though a slight tremor flickered in her eyes.
"I thought... something had happened to you guys," Natsumi replied, still holding Sakurajima Mai.
"Something happened?"
"Yes, Yukino and the others arrived before you, and they even had magical slimes and goblins, but you didn't come..."
Xia Sheng began to explain the situation, including the changes in the intruders, the new abilities he had gained, and the escaped goblin.
"...I see." After hearing Natsumi's explanation, Sakurajima Mai laughed.
Xia Sheng, it turns out he cares about them so much.
"Anyway, I'm glad you're all okay. I was thinking of calling you as soon as I woke up." Natsumi then separated from Sakurajima Mai and looked at her with relief.
If she can be well in front of him, then none of this matters.
"You care about us so much." Mai Sakurajima smiled at him, her eyes gentle.
"I care about you guys even more than you think," Xia Sheng said sincerely.
"You weren't just trying to take advantage of me?" Mai Sakurajima asked jokingly.
"Now that you mention it, I forgot. How about I hug you a little longer?" Xia Sheng joked.
He's in a good mood and feels very relaxed right now.
"Dream on, there aren't any left." Mai Sakurajima decisively refused.
"That's a real shame." Xia Sheng shook his head helplessly.
"You've already taken everything, haven't you? How greedy!"
"I didn't have that thought just now, and I think the mature Mai-senpai wouldn't mind if I took advantage of her, right?" Natsumi asked with a smile.
"Well... of course." Mai Sakurajima crossed her arms, tilted her head, and answered casually.
"May I hug you one more time?"
"No!"
"Didn't Mai-senpai not care?"
"It's not that I don't care, it's just... the occasion is wrong, right! Have you forgotten where you are? How could you do such a thing!" Mai Sakurajima came up with a reason, her tone righteous and indignant.
"That makes sense... If the occasion is right, there won't be any problems, right?" Xia Sheng asked, seemingly unconvinced.
Sakurajima Mai remained silent, then glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed.
This was a rare sight, and Xia Sheng wanted to take a picture to preserve it.
"How long are you guys planning to talk?" Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but interject, her tone cold.
She felt as if she didn't exist, forced to watch the two flirt.
Who could stand this?
"Sorry...::::" Mai Sakurajima had almost forgotten about Kaguya Shinomiya's existence and awkwardly apologized to her.
"It's nothing... So, if what you just said was true, why did we need to come over?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked, getting down to business. She had been pondering what Natsumi had said.
This was her second time here. Although she had almost come to believe in the authenticity of this place, now she believed it completely.
"What I said is true, of course, but I don't know why you came again." Xia Sheng shook his head.
Actually, he had a guess.
His hint just now didn't mention the first or second level. Perhaps the situation he and Yukino Yukinoshita were in just now wasn't the normal situation they usually experience.
The arrival of Mai Sakurajima and the others is now the usual occurrence.
Is that right? All we have to do is wait for the intruder to appear.
Since Mai Sakurajima and the others were summoned again, it means that there will still be invaders.
His sense of danger quickly kicked in, but he felt nothing at all.
Any intruders that appear will pose no threat to him whatsoever.
Deep within, there was a spatial ripple, as if it had shaken, and then a pure blue, round creature moved out.
There are six in total.
It's the same slime as before, and the same number as before.
What's the deal with the slime that just appeared that can use magic?
It can't be because he got stronger too, right?
No, we can look at it another way: he needs to become stronger because of their existence.
Previously, he had been trying to accelerate his awakening.
Is his defense, his resistance, getting weaker and weaker?
Xia Sheng's heart sank.
What will happen to the world if we can't hold on?
Will monsters run rampant and society collapse?
Modern technology is advanced, but magic is equally powerful and incredibly diverse.
If they understood the world, it would be impossible for certain highly lethal thermal weapons to be effective.
The destruction of key bases without a sound is certain.
And he couldn't even give a hint.
Nobody will believe him.
Then he only has one thing to do: keep getting stronger so he can easily protect them.
"You all step back a bit, let me take care of them quickly first."
Natsumi shielded Sakurajima Mai and the others behind him, preparing to unleash wind blade magic.
With ranged attacks available, who would want to fight in melee?
It is highly lethal, yet it does not damage the body or deplete physical strength.
Xia Sheng's gaze fell on the six slimes that were slowly crawling towards them. He raised his hand, palm facing them, and magic surged.
The wind came out of nowhere.
Magic, materialized into something tangible.
The wind began to rage, and the green blade gradually took shape.
"Is this... magic?" Mai Sakurajima, standing behind Natsumi, was utterly shocked.
This fantastical phenomenon, which she would never have seen before, was unreal and only a lie, was now right before her eyes.
Kaguya Shinomiya stared intently at the incredible sight before her, which was beyond her previous knowledge and understanding.
This is the power that Xia Sheng possesses, like a superpower, beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Her crimson eyes flickered as she fell into deep thought.
Her brother had just asked her about Xia Sheng's situation, but she concealed the truth and didn't say anything.
She didn't know why she didn't say it, even though that was her purpose in getting close to him.
Her interactions with them, their honesty, and their frankness gave her some special thoughts.
But she wasn't clear on what exactly she was thinking.
But she was looking forward to it.
"Mai-senpai, Shinomiya-sensei, watch closely, this move is really cool." Natsumi's tone was arrogant, and his smile was full of pride.
Six wind blades condensed in front of him, and then, as if tearing through space, they slashed towards the six slimes with a whooshing sound.
The green light pierced the darkness, passed through the slimes, and struck the stone wall behind them without any hindrance.
Bang!
Splash!
A deafening roar, a shower of flying stones—the six slimes, bathed in the rubble, came to a stop.
The next second, the upper parts of their bodies slid to the ground.
They were easily dealt with by Xia Sheng.
"Wow, that's amazing..." Mai Sakurajima exclaimed in amazement at the scene.
"Right?" Xia Sheng turned to look at her and smiled smugly.
"You've become so strong, do you really still need us?" Mai Sakurajima asked helplessly.
"That's hard to say," Xia Sheng shook his head.
Magic may be powerful, but there are always ways to counter it, and there may even be beings immune to magic.
If there are those who can see through his abilities, then there must also be those who are immune to his magic.
He wouldn't have the slightest bit of luck, after all, he had just escaped from a goblin.
We still don't know what harm it will cause.
Xia Sheng walked towards the slime's body, and when he arrived in front of them, he squatted down, picked up half of the corpse, and without hesitation, took a bite.
Smack smack~
