Chapter 368

The classmates, teachers, and principal were stunned as they looked at the five classmates glowing and wielding gorgeous, exaggerated "artifacts" as they walked toward the five-meter-tall demon.

"Nibutani-san!"

"Togashi-kun!"

"May 7th, senpai!"

"Takanashi-san!"

The principal grabbed his hair with both hands, his eyes bulging out. "This is not an illusion! This is real! How is it possible?! Demons! Magical girls! Holy Sword wielders! Oh my God! Einstein, Newton, someone tell me this is fake!"

The teacher next to him stammered, "Principal, it's... it's real..."

"Magical girls!"

"Heroes!"

"They really exist in this world!"

"I've always believed in another world! It must be true!"

"There must be a world of gods if the demon world exists!"

"Look! That demon is scared of Nibutani-san and the others!"

Some students quickly took out their mobile phones to record the video.

The five-meter-tall demon looked at the five brave souls walking toward it in fear and shouted.

"Impossible! How can there be envoys of the gods?! It's all fake! You're all fake! I will destroy you!"

With a roar, the demon's claws glowed and struck at the five.

"Go to hell!"

The students only saw five dazzling arcs of light falling from the demon's claws, forming a massive blade aimed at the group.

The light arcs grew to over 100 meters in the blink of an eye.

Rikka Takanashi pointed at her glowing golden left eye and shouted, "Appear! Burst! The Evil King's True Eye, reverse all unclean attacks!"

In an instant, the five gigantic arcs of light were reflected back the moment they reached the group.

The five-meter-tall demon was cut into five pieces by its own attack.

The reflected 100-meter arc of light then struck the school building, slicing it in half.

Rumble, rumble—

The school building collapsed like tofu.

"Ahhh! It's collapsing—all the students were inside!"

The principal shouted, his vision darkening, and he almost fainted.

Other students screamed in horror.

"Ahhhh!"

Yuta Togashi stretched out his hand and said loudly, "There is no need to panic! This is within the barrier, a separate dimension. The real school has not been affected."

Shinka Nibutani asked anxiously, "What do you mean, Yuta?"

Yuta replied, "It means everything happening in this black-and-white world will not affect the real world, and ordinary people here won't be harmed."

Nibutani quickly saluted. "I understand, thank you, Togashi-san."

Other students and teachers breathed a sigh of relief as they noticed that none of the students buried in the collapsed building were harmed. There were no bloody scenes, just as in anime where "smoke does no harm."

"Has the demon been killed?"

"Thank goodness!"

Morika Tanshin quickly raised her magic wand. "It's too early to celebrate! The demon isn't so easily defeated."

"Damn it, the seal is weakening anyway, and soon our kind will rule the human world," growled the demon.

The demon's severed body parts healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, restoring it to full health in seconds.

"I will destroy you before you can fully utilize the power given to you by the gods!"

With that, the demon rushed at them, leaving afterimages in its wake.

In front of stunned students and teachers, an epic battle between heroes and demons unfolded before their eyes.

Yuta Togashi wielded the Holy Sword and engaged the demon in close combat, showcasing the elegant swordsmanship seen in anime, clashing with the demon's claws.

The demon, despite its massive size, was repeatedly pushed back.

The destructive power of the battle was astonishing. In just five seconds, the entire playground had been destroyed, and within ten seconds, every building on campus was reduced to rubble.

As a magician, Morika Tanshin flew above, creating various magical arrays in the air and firing off magic bullets and light beams, each display more elaborate than the last.

Golden runes flew from Rikka Takanashi's glowing eyes, transforming into chains that bound the demon.

Sanae Dekomori swung a massive, gorgeous hammer, one even larger than herself, and smashed the demon to the ground, leaving a thirty-meter hole in the earth.

As the group's priest, May 7th Fennel continually healed their stamina and injuries.

Unable to win, the demon tried to flee, but the five heroes flew through the sky, chasing it from the school to the streets.

Rumble, rumble—

Gorgeous spells, radiant sword lights, and chains flew through the air, tearing into high-rise buildings.

Two skyscrapers were broken in half and collapsed.

These attacks and displays were the most glamorous in Teyvat. The intent was not necessarily to be the strongest, but certainly to be the most striking.

Since the battle occurred in a "black-and-white world," none of the damage affected reality.

To people inside the "black-and-white world," this was equivalent to experiencing a real-life fantasy movie.

"Oh my God! There are magicians and superhumans fighting against demons!"

"How terrifying! Even skyscrapers are being destroyed!"

"Wait! No one was injured!"

"What's going on?"

"Quick, record it!"

"Explode! Destroy! Evil King's True Eye!"

"Excalibur!"

"Lightning strikes!"

"O elves, may divine sanction descend!"

On the street, in people's videos, five "superhumans," "magic users," and "heroes" unleashed their ultimate skills to vanquish the terrifying demon.

Five beams of light pierced several buildings. After eliminating the demon, those buildings collapsed.

On this day, people's "materialistic views" were completely shattered.

The world gradually regained its color.

As people looked on in astonishment, the high-rise buildings and streets that had been destroyed were silently restored to their original states.

It was as if the earth-shattering battle had never happened.

If not for the five students standing in the middle of the street and the footage captured on their phones, they would have thought they had dreamt it all.

Rikka Takanashi shook her hands and declared, "The demon is vanquished."

Sanae Dekomori jumped up excitedly, "Yes, Master!"

Yuta Togashi waved his hand, covering his forehead with one hand. "A mere demon is no match for the Holy Sword's wielder."

Morika Tanshin looked up with reverence. "Elves, gods, the demon has been punished."

On May 7th, Fennel blinked, her cheeks flushed. "Oh, wow, that was so cool!"

Despite the terrifying scenes, for a group of "chuunibyou" who understood the "truth," it wasn't scary at all—it was exhilarating.

At that moment, the sound of police sirens echoed, and within ten seconds, the five were surrounded by more than a dozen police cars.

This left them shocked. They weren't afraid of demons or other such entities—but they were afraid of the police.
