Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 87: Taking Action!

Chapter 87: Taking Action!

The alley was filled with a damp atmosphere, and the moss on the walls emitted a pungent smell.

The moonlight overhead barely penetrated, and darkness became the sole dominant theme in this environment.

Chang Lei walked forward at a leisurely pace, the wet pavement under his feet making a soft, rhythmic sound.

I have been silent for more than seven years.

During those seven years, everything seemed so normal and natural.

There was no supernatural power threatening him, and no magical girl discovered his whereabouts.

There's not even a need to worry about the wolf riders suddenly popping out from some corner and kicking you.

But why am I the one being targeted?

A gust of cold wind swept by, and I could hear faint breathing sounds.

Chang Lei clenched his fists slightly, and at the same time, he stopped in his tracks.

In the darkness, something seemed to be wriggling out of the shadows.

Then, his breathing gradually became heavier, and a series of light but complicated footsteps sounded from behind him.

Without turning around, Chang Lei simply revealed a complex smile.

"What a nauseating smell."

A pair of eyes, gleaming with an eerie light, slowly materialized, and a strange figure appeared behind Chang Lei at some unknown time.

Chang Lei slowly turned around and stared directly at the strange man not far in front of him.

Calling it a weirdo wouldn't be accurate; the thing was clearly a hybrid of human and machine, with its upper body made up of an air conditioner unit and its lower body a smart robot.

"A rare guest indeed!"

A mechanical sound came from the strange man's speaker.

"I never expected to find a greedy person in my city. I thought all of you faceless people were long gone."

"Heh." Chang Lei chuckled lightly and straightened up. "You bunch of mad dogs from the other world are doing just fine, aren't you?"

Chang Lei recognized the other person's identity as soon as he sensed their aura.

This mechanical monster is none other than the Outer Path Demon from the Otherworld, and a Captain-level one at that. The fact that it was able to appear here without being killed by the magical girl when it descended into reality is enough to prove its strength.

"What do you mean by blocking my way here?"

"That's a question I should be asking you," the Mechanical Heretic Demon said coldly, staring at Chang Lei with hostility. "You disappeared for seven years, and then you've extended your reach into our territory. What are you trying to do?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Chang Lei's expression remained unchanged, but a sense of confusion welled up in his heart.

After he expended most of his original power, the energy of the Greedy One on his body had become negligible. Not to mention these heretical demons, even if a magical girl were to stand in front of him, she would not be able to detect anything unusual about him.

But this guy was clearly after me.

"Can't understand?"

The indicator light on the mechanical demon flashed twice, and then countless shadows began to wriggle out of the darkness, transforming into humanoid creatures that occupied two directions of the alley.

Chang Lei frowned slightly upon realizing he was surrounded.

Are they the scum of the underworld?

Although they were just a bunch of grunts, the sheer number of them...

Just as Chang Lei was pondering, he heard the Mechanical Heretic Demon continue speaking.

"Greedy ones, we are not enemies, but we are definitely not friends either. I have no interest in your schemes, but you seem to have crossed the line."

Crossing the boundary?

Chang Lei was slightly taken aback by the words of the Mechanical Heretic Demon. Then, he suddenly realized something, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Before Chang Lei could react, the air conditioner unit on the mechanical demon's chest suddenly began to spin rapidly, and a violent gust of wind swept out, filling the entire alley.

A sound like the air being torn apart rang out, and the once quiet and dimly lit alleyway suddenly became noisy.

Chang Lei subconsciously raised his hand to block the heat, and felt a wave of heat hit him. The wet road surface of the alley dried up at a visible speed, and all the puddles of water evaporated completely.

As a member of the underworld smashed a piece of glass leaning against the wall not far away, there were no more mirrors to reflect light in the secluded alley.

Having done all this, the Mechanical Outer Path Demon slowly came to a stop.

"That way, you won't have a chance to escape."

Looking at Chang Lei's somewhat gloomy face, the Mechanical Heretic Demon smiled sarcastically.

"Yes, I've heard about your little tricks. Trapping you lot of mudfish won't be easy, but it's not impossible."

Unlike the Greedy Ones who possess superpowers, the abilities of the Outer Demons are mostly closely related to the bodies they transform into. The mechanical Outer Demon in front of them can clearly switch freely between hot and cold air.

Although this ability is not particularly harmful, it can be extremely troublesome if used properly.

"Are you trying to disrupt the balance between us?" Chang Lei's gaze was somewhat cold.

"We weren't the ones who fired the first shot; you know perfectly well what you did."

The mechanical demon swayed, and a pair of devices that looked like 'eyes' emitted an eerie glow.

"I'm giving you a chance, you greedy one, surrender now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding members of the Underworld stepped forward and surrounded Chang Lei.

The latest novel is first published here!

Glancing at the Netherworld Scum behind him, Chang Lei then fixed his gaze on the Mechanical Heretic Demon. "Are you threatening me?"

"Arrogant fool, you asked for this."

The mechanical demon roared, but Chang Lei merely shook his head slightly.

Unable to figure out what trick the other party was up to, the Mechanical Outer Path Demon was about to make a move when he suddenly felt his vision blur and then the space on the surrounding walls suddenly began to distort.

The originally hard wall suddenly became like jelly, soft and rippling, and then the phantoms took shape.

One after another, phantom figures with human outlines emerged from the 'walls'.

Their entire bodies were blurred and indistinct, making it impossible to observe their physical form, yet their presence could be clearly felt.

There was no warning whatsoever.

One of the Netherworld Scumbags tilted his head and fell to the ground, turning into a cloud of black mist.

Then a second member of the Underworld fell to the ground and died.

Any being touched by these phantoms was stripped of its life.

"How is that possible!?"

The members of the Underworld immediately erupted into chaos.

They tried to attack the phantoms, but death was already creeping closer.

"I... I clearly severed all the mirror channels!"

The mechanical demon retreated in terror, turning to look for Chang Lei, only to find that he had vanished without a trace.

puff.

Another member of the underworld collapsed to the ground.

This bizarre scene completely stunned the Mechanical Heretic Demon.

But outside the alley.

Chang Lei stared coldly at the group of heretical demons in the darkness.

"Wolf riders, oh wolf riders"

"You've really gotten me into big trouble."

He murmured something to himself, then turned and started walking towards home.

There were no eerie ghostly figures.

The road surface was not wet.

All they have are a bunch of heretical demons who kill each other.

From beginning to end.

Chang Lei never stepped into that alley.
