Give children a little self-destruction shock to their worldview.

Her originally fair skin was now stretched red, as if it were about to bleed.

This all happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Yoko Sugiyama realized what was happening, the other person's skin had already begun to emit an ominous glow.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait—"

Before Yoko Sugiyama could say anything, a violent explosion shattered her train of thought, shattering the ice crystal and destroying the building where she had temporarily established her base, leaving her in a blinding whiteout as she struggled to maintain her magical shield.

—How did it explode?!

Before the smoke and dust had cleared, Yoko Sugiyama struggled to climb out from under the concrete slab.

Her ears felt like they were bleeding. She was trying to find her heartbeat, her brain was buzzing, and she couldn't see anything in front of her in the pitch black.

The explosion left her completely disoriented. Only after she frantically checked that none of her limbs were missing did Yoko Sugiyama seem to come back to life.

She realized she had underestimated the weapon's capabilities and knew she had to escape quickly, or death would be her only fate.

She would die here.

It can bleed, it can get hurt, and it can die.

And the other person, with an air of fanaticism that seemed to have extinguished his own, opened his eyes!

If I'm found, I'll definitely be killed!

Yoko Sugiyama used her magic to heal her injuries. With her vision blurred, she stumbled and staggered along the wall for more than ten minutes before daring to look back, only daring to do so when she felt the terrifying tremor had receded slightly.

That one glance might be unforgettable for her for the rest of her life.

A dark, ferocious dragon hovered in the sky.

He swam in the air as a fish swam in the water.

Dragons are supposed to be guardians of the world, but their current appearance is so bizarre it's terrifying.

His body was filled with red light, and flesh and blood could be peeled off and fall to the ground at any moment. Each piece of flesh that hit the ground with a heavy thud caused a huge explosion, and the ground trembled.

He was constantly regenerating, and fleshy buds grew rampantly on his body, which should have been covered with beautiful metallic scales, almost enveloping the entire dragon.

The dragon's body continued to multiply, its uncontrolled flesh becoming grotesque and terrifying, radiating a horrifying heat, while the mist from the evaporating blood enveloped its form.

In just a few moments, the place where Yoko Sugiyama had just been was razed to the ground.

Exploding and burning flesh rained down from the sky, and a colossal monster roamed the heavens. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the upper body of a human appeared to be growing out of the black dragon's forehead.

The white-haired guardian was pierced and bound by fleshy buds, merging with the black dragon from her waist down. Her indifferent eyes looked down at the city below, like an executioner at the end of civilization.

In fact, this is what Mayumi Haga, whose regenerative abilities have completely spiraled out of control, looks like.

Without the spiritual protection of the world consciousness and without having experienced dragonification, when her rationality completely disappears, her body will no longer be under her control, and her flesh and blood will proliferate infinitely, causing her to lose her human form and cover the ground with her own flesh and blood.

The world consciousness granted her regenerative abilities without any limit. Theoretically, if the energy of the spark were inexhaustible, then the world she came into contact with might be filled with flesh and blood.

After acquiring the ability to transform into a dragon, her infinitely proliferating flesh and blood would wrap around the black dragon's body, presenting a slightly restrained fusion posture.

Even so, it's already tricky enough.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that there is absolutely no one in this world who can defeat her.

Yoko Sugiyama, who had released the monster and fled in panic, was out of luck.

The Abyss Gentleman who immediately relocates after discovering the anomaly is not advisable.

The little bear, blown out of the hut by this change, was out of luck, of course.

At this moment, the three magic users from the other world looked at the giant dragon in the sky with deep fear and horror, unable to think of a solution for the time being.

If this continues, I really will die in this world.

.................................................. ..................

"..." Mayumi blinked.

She looked innocently at the rational Mayumi beside her, and the latter met her gaze for a moment, both of them understanding that the other had sensed the strangeness coming from the other "self".

"They really dared to release it... a little earlier than expected." Rational Mayumi muttered in words that the others couldn't understand.

Her voice was very soft, and Terasaki Ayasa next to her didn't hear her clearly: "What did you say?"

The rational Mayumi didn't answer; instead, the desirous Mayumi smiled happily: "There's something happy about it."

The young Mayumi Haga's sweet, childlike voice was so adorable that Ayasa Terasaki raised an eyebrow slightly but didn't suspect anything.

She could never have imagined that Desire Mayumi was excited about something as simple as "blowing the enemy into the sky."

Compared to her usual self, Mayumi of Desire expresses herself more directly, with richer expressions, and speaks with exceptional frankness, able to honestly face herself.

Normally, Mayumi Haga wouldn't be so obviously happy in this situation.

But the bow of desire is different.

She's happy when her enemies suffer the consequences of their own actions. She won't hide her excitement because of morality or any other constraints.

The thought of that guy being blown up made her secretly happy.

He told her to plot against him, hehe.

Overjoyed, she also wanted to share her happiness with others.

Her gaze swept past the rational Mayumi, after all, this guy was the habitual offender who always prevented her from having fun.

After hesitating for a moment between Terasaki Ayasa and Sugiyama Rika who had returned, she ultimately chose the one she was closer to, Sugiyama Rika.

With a whoosh, Mayumi jumped off the chair and ran over to Sugiyama Rika, opening her arms wide: "I want a hug."

This was a completely coquettish request, which Sugiyama Rika naturally found hard to refuse.

The complicated feelings she had when she learned Yoko Sugiyama's real name were immediately dissipated by her overly cute face.

Infected by her joy, Sugiyama Rika also smiled and asked, "Why is Mayumi so happy?"

"The other me explodes... mmm mmm mmm?" Before she could finish speaking, Rational Mayumi reached out and covered her mouth with one hand, interrupting her words.

Sugiyama Rika: "?"

The rational Mayumi said calmly, "It's nothing. We just briefly connected with another version of herself, and she got a little excited."

"Oh, oh..." She's still just a child, as Sugiyama Rika thought.

It's so nice that I can be so happy over such a small thing.

Meanwhile, the rational Mayumi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Whew.

If this little guy were to say something like, "I'm about to blow your sister up," the atmosphere would become very strange.

.................................................. ..................

Sad Bear was thrown out of the house by a violent shockwave.

It was said that she was shaken out, but actually the house collapsed, and the magic barrier also loosened considerably for some reason, so she seized the opportunity to run away.

She crawled out covered in dust and dirt, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the black dragon roaming not far away.

Her pupils dilated in shock: "...Mayumi?!"

Isn't this sanity-draining state a bit too much from the rapid pace of version updates?!

The last time I saw True Bow Dragon form, it definitely didn't look like this! How did it mistakenly evolve into a zombie True Bow Beast now?!

Main text: Chapter 227 Rescue (4000 words)

"Mayumi—whoa?!" The little bear was about to wave to Mayumi Haga when he was met with a flesh-and-blood bomb that the other party ruthlessly hurled at him.

Fortunately, the distance was far enough that it exploded not far in front of her. The little bear couldn't dodge in time, and a sharp shard of glass grazed her arm.

It's very hot.

The little bear raised its hand in a daze and realized it was injured.

Her human skin was cut open with a shallow gash, and blood flowed out, though only a very small amount.

But this was the first time she had bled from an attack after transforming into human form.

The little bear's body can change between doll form and human form through magic. In doll form, she will not bleed when she is injured; instead, white cotton will fall out from the broken parts.

This was the first time the little bear had bled since becoming human.

She vaguely recalled what Mayumi Haga, as her guardian, had said during their first meeting:

"...I see, so you don't bleed."

Waaaaaaah! Getting injured is so scary after turning into a human!!!

The little bear let out a scream in her heart, but in reality, because the black dragon was not far away, she dared not make a sound at this moment.

She had realized that Mayumi was not in a conscious state.

It's similar to the last time I saw the True Bow Dragon form, but this time it seems there's some unknown mutation that's occurred, and it looks really scary...

Even though the bear had seen some of the other's memories in Mayumi Haga's mental space, after developing a certain level of immunity to the "corpse," it would still be terrified by the scene in front of it.

Actually, as a strange person, Little Bear wasn't that afraid of human corpses.

Humans fear the corpses of their own kind, but she isn't human yet. If anything, she should be afraid of a teddy bear being torn to pieces.

But things are different now... Mayumi looks very strange.

It was a visual effect that was almost like mental pollution. The constantly writhing and growing fleshy buds enveloped the black dragon's body like living fluids, and the rain of blood carried a strong odor. It was on a completely different level from the few corpses.

We need to get out of here quickly.

The bear cub's biological instincts warned her that she must immediately distance herself from the civilized executioner.

So she quickly turned her remaining magic around, trying to flee as far away from the black dragon as possible.

However, at the same moment she mobilized her magic, she sensed a magical fluctuation that was both strange and familiar.

She called them strangers because she had just met them a few days ago.

To say it's familiar... no one could possibly forget the magical fluctuations of the person who kidnapped them to this place, right?

It's that strange phantom thief!

The little bear realized that his enemy was also in trouble.

What should we do? Should we go take a look?

But the other person seems to be more accustomed to this world than I am, so I don't need to worry about them at all...

Just as the little bear was still thinking, the opponent's magic power, after a brief fluctuation, quickly weakened and looked like it was about to die.

This startled the hesitant little bear, who immediately changed direction and flew straight towards the direction where the phantom thief's magic was about to disappear.

As a teddy bear, I can be sewed back together even if I'm torn to pieces, but humans can't!

Even if the other party is an enemy, they haven't done anything to me yet, so how could I just stand by and watch them die?

As it drew closer, the little bear sensed another approaching magical force.

This magic felt familiar and reassuring.

It's my brother's magic!

Yes, because of the strange changes happening here, the Gentleman of the Abyss also noticed something was wrong. He took the opportunity to break free from the restraints imposed by Yoko Sugiyama and hurriedly fled.

However, during the retreat, he also realized that Yoko Sugiyama was in a dangerous situation.

Although he's an oddball, he doesn't want to see dead people... and without Yoko Sugiyama, he doesn't know how to get back to the world above.

When he flew over, he saw the little bear who had arrived at Yoko Sugiyama's side first, and he was startled: "Little Sadness?! What are you doing here?"

The problem was far too obvious; he realized as soon as he spoke that the culprit was none other than Yoko Sugiyama in front of him.

An internal struggle raged within him, the main issue being whether or not to leave this troublesome person who had dragged his family into this mess unattended.

But when the little bear saw him, he was already crying tears of joy and called out for his help: "Big brother, come and help me, I can't carry this by myself..."

Upon hearing the little sister's call, the Abyss Gentleman immediately stood up and said, "You carry her on your back, and then I'll use magic to take you both away."

As a more eccentric individual with a deeper background, the Gentleman of the Abyss could easily carry people through the air.

His expression darkened further when he saw Yoko Sugiyama, who was half-conscious, leaning against his younger sister's back.

Heh, this guy...

You should know that family is the Abyss Gentleman's Achilles' heel. If it weren't for Little Bear's initiative to rescue Sugiyama Yoko, this Phantom Thief would probably be dead here today.

The three of them worked together and quickly moved to the highest mountain on the edge of the city. So far, the black dragon had only been wandering in the skies above the city; as long as it wasn't provoked, it wouldn't approach.
