My Girlfriend Is Stronger Than the Demon Lord – Volume 29 (Chapter 29)
The demon realm was tense. Even with Aria's previous victories, rumors of a coordinated magical uprising spread quickly.
"Eren," she said, holding my hand as we walked through the castle courtyard, "this isn't just about one faction anymore. Multiple tribes are being manipulated by unknown forces."
I frowned. "So… politics and magic combined? That sounds… bad."
She nodded. "Exactly. But that's why I need you with me. Together, we can handle it."
Before we could strategize, Gorvath burst in, panicked as usual.
"My Lady! The southern clans have summoned reinforcements, and there are reports of forbidden magic being used to influence the northern territories!"
Aria exhaled softly. "Eren… looks like the real challenge has begun. This isn't just about strength—it's about intelligence, control, and foresight."
By afternoon, the combined forces approached the castle, wielding chaotic magic designed to disrupt both the landscape and the minds of those inside.
Aria raised her staff, aura shimmering brilliantly. "Eren… watch closely. This is more than just a fight. This is strategy."
The enemy unleashed spells, dark energies twisting through the sky, but Aria didn't strike outright. With calm precision, she froze the attacks midair, neutralizing illusions and restraining the enemy leaders without harming a single soldier.
I whispered, awestruck, "She's… doing it again… controlling everything without hurting anyone?"
Aria smiled faintly, cheeks pink. "Eren… true power is not in destruction. It's in restraint, control, and protecting what you love."
With delicate gestures, she guided the enemy leaders to kneel, their forces immobilized but unharmed. Slowly, the uprising collapsed under her influence.
The enemy commander bowed deeply. "Battle Goddess Aria… your wisdom and strength… are unparalleled."
Aria exhaled, lowering her staff. "Good. Let's resolve this peacefully now. There's no need for further conflict."
I squeezed her hand tightly. "You make the impossible look… natural."
She leaned her head against me, aura glowing softly. "Because I'm not alone, Eren. Chaos, danger, and politics mean nothing when we face them together."
And once more, the demon realm was safe—not through destruction, but through Aria's unmatched power, intelligence, and heart, with me right by her side.
