I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

"Get ready, monsters are invading! Monsters are invading!" A child's voice, as loud as a megaphone, suddenly rang out, pulling Reed out of his reverie.

Noelle: "So this is a monster invasion... It started this morning?"

The little girl broke free from Noel's grasp. "I'm going to fight! The cursed people here must fight!"

Noelle: "But why fight for those people? The people in the civilian district don't even consider you one of their own..."

The little girl said, "That's because I'm cursed, and I still have a chance to come to the civilian area! There were selections this afternoon."

The little girl smiled and said, "I'll work hard for the selection! Goodbye, see you later!" The little girl seemed completely unconcerned about what Noel had just said.

Noelle watched as the crackling lightning materialized in the little girl's hand, then ran towards the city wall.

Noelle frowned. "Selection... what is this?"

Noelle stood there, somewhat bewildered. Had that little girl gone to the battlefield? But why did she look so relaxed?

"Hey, wanna go take a look?" Just then, Reed's words snapped Noelle out of her reverie.

Noelle: "Let's go take a look..."

The two people and the dog ran towards the city wall, where they could vaguely see witches fighting in the distance.

One section of the city wall had long since collapsed and could no longer stop any monsters, so most of the witches gathered there.

The two continued forward, and as they got closer, Reed could see clearly what they were fighting.

Some undead: skeletons, zombies, and other undead...

There are also some hard-to-describe monsters, monsters with bird heads that walk on two human legs, and large-scale fusions of insects.

It's a fusion of spiders and dragonflies, a fusion of maggots and mosquitoes.

These various insect hybrids were unusually large, even more than three times the size of the zombies walking on the ground.

The little witches that Reed saw fighting, some of them could fly, and some could use fire.

Each displayed their unique skills; judging from their dodging, defense, and attack abilities, they could all be considered veterans.

Perhaps due to the witch's own buffs, Reed told Bodie to protect Noelle while he went to check on the front lines of the battlefield.

Various spells flew through the air, and it wasn't just ranged spells from witches.

The little girl swung her fist and smashed the fusion of a praying mantis and a fly in front of her! A hole was pierced through its body.

Then the little girl turned around and saw Red. "You're that masked uncle?! Get out of here, it's dangerous!"

The little girl recognized Rhett, and Rhett recognized her too.

This is the first person I met in this country not long ago—that little girl.

Reed suddenly realized he didn't even know the other person's name, so he simply asked, "What's your name?"

The little girl kicked a zombie to pieces, leaving bits of rotting flesh on her face. She turned to look at Reid, smiled, and said, "Xiao Rui, that's my name."

Suddenly, a fireball slammed into Xiaorui's back, followed by a loli-like voice saying, "Xiaorui, don't get distracted! Monsters are coming from behind you! Ignore these monsters!"

The pickaxe that Reed was about to throw slowly hung on his body; Reed had already spotted the monster that had appeared behind Xiao Rui.

I intended to handle it myself, but someone else beat me to it.

"Aaaaah! Help...help me!" A little girl whose body was split in two was crying for help, but her upper body had already been dragged into a horde of monsters by a zombie...

"Ugh! Ah...! Waaah..." A ranged insect fusion monster blasted a loli's head to smithereens with a single blow.

There have already been casualties. Reed remembers seeing that little girl, who was hit in the head, playing on the ruins in the distance.

The battlefield wasn't just in one place; there were other areas as well, and the number of casualties was unimaginable.

Besides, these are just kids. Reed scratched his head and clicked his tongue.

With his right hand, he summoned the twilight; with his left, he could draw his pickaxe at any moment.

Without saying a word, Reed spotted the battleground and charged in!

The speed isn't as fast as before, but it's good enough.

As soon as Reed rushed onto the battlefield, he swung his sword and killed an insect fusion monster.

Xiao Rui spotted Reed and just happened to see him charge into the battlefield and kill a monster.

The swift, clean cut distracted Xiao Rui a little, and just then, Reid took a liking to her.

Seeing that Xiao Rui's distraction had allowed the monster to approach, Reid quickly took out his pickaxe with his left hand and threw it!

Xiao Rui watched the pickaxe flying towards her and instinctively closed her eyes.

The pickaxe struck an armored skeleton behind Xiaorui with precision, then Reid pulled to the left and then back!

Pull the skull to the left so it won't hit Xiaorui when you pull it back.

Reed then raised his sword and killed the armored skeleton with a single blow, then retrieved his pickaxe and hung it on his body.

Xiao Rui slowly opened her eyes. Reid said, "Watch your concentration, you're too easily distracted..."

After Reed finished speaking, he moved close to an insect-fused monster that was charging up a ranged attack and killed it with a single strike.

The little girl who was being targeted had already prepared to defend herself, but after seeing the monster being defeated by Reed with a single strike, she slowly lowered her guard.

"Ahhh! Don't kill me! No... um?" An insect with cracked teeth was about to devour the little girl with the broken leg in front of it when...

As the little girl waited for her death in despair, she suddenly felt herself being hugged by someone.

The little girl opened her tear-filled, red eyes and saw the insect in front of her being cleaved in three pieces by the person holding her.

Before the little girl could say anything, Reed quickly stepped back and then put her on the ground.

Reed didn't look back, said nothing, and continued charging into the battlefield.

While Red was killing zombies, he saw a purple beam of light appear around him.

Reed looked towards Noelle's location, and sure enough, Noelle raised her hand to cast her signature [Arcane Mysticism Spell].

Noelle's magic power had only recovered to half its original level when she began to deplete it in order to help others.

Bodie, standing at Reed's feet, made a biting gesture, wagging its little tail as if it were ready to bite at any moment.

Reed killed the approaching zombie, but was then hit by a ranged insect.

Rui didn't care at all; although the damage was a bit high, he figured he could just block it with his knife.

And those ranged attack insects had an incredibly slow reload speed. Reed looked around.

"Help! Ahhh!" Reed glanced at the direction from which the sound came, then rushed over and caught the little girl who had fallen from the high school.

This witch possessed the ability to fly, and the imagined pain of landing did not occur.

The little girl opened her eyes and saw herself being held by someone. This had happened before during battles, when she was exhausted and fell from a height.

I don't know how many times I've fallen from a height to the ground, and every time it hurts.

The more times it happened, the stronger the fear became! I didn't want to fall to the ground anymore...

Reed put the still-shocked little girl down on the ground. The little girl looked at Reed's retreating figure, seemingly wanting to say something.

But Reed pushed her away with his left hand, and right where the little girl had been standing, a ranged attack was launched from a distant insect.

The corrosive liquid didn't hit the little girl; instead, it fell to the ground.

The little girl looked at the pool of liquid corroding the ground and realized she had been saved again.

"Thank...thank you, big brother..." The little girl who had been rescued said this, and Reed heard it.

Reed neither responded nor turned around, continuing to swing his knife repeatedly.
