Chapter 193

"Brat, this grandpa is NOT your familiar!"

Hearing Xiaomi's shout, Houster immediately retorted.

Even if this little guy thinks He's handsome, it's no use.

As a Superior Devil, He's not someone just anyone can command.

Currently, His master is Wobak-sama.

Taking advantage of the Devil turning his head, Darkness pounced; compared to that swordsmanship with hardly any accuracy, she is more proficient in the art of grappling.

With just a single flying tackle, she knocked the Devil, who had left an opening, flying away.

"You woman!"

Houster's feet dragged two gullies across the ground; the Devil was somewhat furious.

"If you make a move on me again, don't blame this grandpa for being impolite!"

Houster put on a ferocious expression and roared fiercely at the Female Knight.

"I'm still a maiden in the flower of youth, how dare you slander me, you Devil? Besides, if I make a move on you again, you'll be impolite to me? That's simply wonderful!"

Darkness revealed an exceptionally delighted expression, swung her fist, and ran up to the Devil's chin, delivering two heavy punches.

"Damn it, you really think this grandpa is afraid of you, human? If this weren't Red Demon Clan territory, this grandpa could instant-kill you with a single spell."

"Then come on, by all means, don't hold back against me!"

Darkness panted heavily with excitement, giving Houster a constipated feeling, and He truly didn't dare use high-power attack magic.

After all, if it attracted the Red Demon Clan of this village, He'd probably get mobbed by those red-eyed guys.

However, not being able to use attack magic doesn't mean other magic can't be used.

"Support Magic, Body Strengthening; Support Magic, Speed Amplification; Support Magic, Physical Resistance Increase; Support Magic……"

Houster pressed his palms together, casting without incantation, the radiance of various support magics surging onto Him, making His already massive Devil body swell once more.

"Don't say this grandpa didn't give you a chance to regret it; scram right now, and you'll still survive!"

His skin turned crimson, ominous Magic Power aura overflowing from His body surface, Houster issued a final warning to the Female Knight before Him.

He originally meant well, not wanting to slaughter in front of the child Xiaomi, but He failed to see through Darkness's masochist nature.

【The Devil's fist grew larger, His arms thickened; if hit by such a punch, could my abdomen withstand His attack?】

Just thinking about it made Darkness eager to try; Broly was good, but his fists were ultimately a bit too dainty; she preferred larger fists.

More importantly, after exchanging blows with this Devil, Darkness discovered His strength didn't exceed her own by too much; He was an enemy she could trade blow-for-blow with in a proper brawl.

"Come, use that big, thick thing of yours, and fiercely penetrate my body!"

Darkness shouted out some rather terrible lines.

"Human, since you're courting death, this grandpa will grant your wish!"

Houster's patience was exhausted clean; a diagonally upward pit appeared under His feet, and His massive figure closed in on Darkness at extreme speed.

Darkness spread her arms, surprisingly making no defense, merely presenting her tensed abdomen to the Devil's incoming fist.

The next moment, with a *pa* sound, a small hand easily caught the fist this Devil threw to blow away the Female Knight. "Eh, why hasn't the attack arrived yet?"

Darkness opened her eyes and saw the boy floating in mid-air before her, looking at her with a somewhat speechless gaze.

"Didn't we agree you wouldn't do dangerous things anymore?"

Previously in the dream, after Broly made Darkness cry, she hadn't been jumping into monster piles much; didn't expect her old habit would relapse now.

"Ah, this is……"

Darkness's expression was somewhat panicked, like a culprit caught in the act, thinking of excuses to get out of it.

And she quickly thought of a good excuse: protecting that Red Demon Clan little girl who was being held hostage by the Devil over there.

"That's right, it was to protect that little girl over there that I had no choice but to engage in a desperate deathmatch with this Devil!"

Broly: "……"

If before he came here, Darkness's Happiness Value hadn't been showing an upward trend, he might have been willing to believe her to some extent.

"You're clearly enjoying yourself, okay?"

Broly exposed Darkness's true situation, putting this knight girl with a strange kink at a disadvantage in the dialogue.

"Damn it, why can a brat who suddenly appeared block my attack so easily?"

Houster, whose attack was blocked, after initial disbelief, launched attacks again, but His heavy, powerful continuous attacks were still easily blocked.

"Good that you know you're wrong; properly apologize to me and guarantee you won't do this again; also, tonight I'm entering your dream to spar properly with you, fighting seriously to make you re-experience the feeling of nearing death."

While lecturing Darkness, Broly casually blocked the Devil's attacks from behind, not even turning his head back, as if Houster were merely a mosquito flying around him.

And this disdainful attitude also made Houster somewhat angry; as a battle-oriented Devil, He had never been treated with such Magecraft Disdain by anyone.

"Damn it, even if the Red Demon Clan people find out I don't care anymore; you brat floating in mid-air, turn around and face this grandpa properly!"

Shouting thus, complex Magic Circle patterns emerged before Houster's mouth; a pitch-black Energy Bullet carrying deep crimson lightning was condensed and directly spat toward the Saiyan boy's direction.

"Absorption Touch."

In response, after hearing Darkness's words of admission, Broly turned his head and used the Lich's Skill against the incoming Energy Bullet.

The visible effect was simply that Houster launched a Mouth Cannon attack, and the Mouth Cannon attack was nullified into nothingness before reaching Broly's small hand.

It didn't end there; Broly doesn't really like absorbing others' Qi, because absorbing too much ruins his appetite for meals.

So, he extended his right index finger, condensed the energy just absorbed into his body at the fingertip, and returned the Devil's incoming attack in full.

"What?!"

The returned Energy Bullet was extremely fast, instantly reaching Houster's front; this Devil couldn't react in time and was directly blasted flying by the Energy Bullet.

The crimson body smashed into the Tiered Building; with a *boom*, the struck Seal Building collapsed instantly.

"Ah, Xiaomi's familiar!"

Beside them, the little girl, seeing this scene, became somewhat anxious and ran directly toward the collapsed Seal Building.
