My Girlfriend Is Stronger Than the Demon Lord – Volume 35 (Chapter 35)
The demon realm's peace was fragile. Even after quelling the multi-front crisis, Aria's senses remained on high alert.
"Eren," she said, holding my hand as we surveyed the horizon from the castle tower, "there's a presence I haven't felt before. Someone… entirely new, and far more dangerous than anyone we've faced."
I swallowed hard. "Stronger than the mastermind? Stronger than all the armies combined?"
She shook her head, cheeks pink. "Not just stronger… smarter, faster, and unpredictable. This isn't just a battle—it's a test of my ability to lead, fight, and protect everything I care about."
Before I could respond, Gorvath rushed in, visibly shaken.
"My Lady! Multiple reports indicate simultaneous disturbances across the entire realm! Magical anomalies, rogue demon movements, and mysterious shadow figures appearing in strategic locations!"
Aria's eyes narrowed. "Eren… this isn't just raw strength. It's strategy, cunning, and deception. Are you ready to face it with me?"
I gripped her hand tightly. "Always. No matter what comes, I'm by your side."
By nightfall, the new enemy revealed themselves: a figure cloaked in shifting darkness, radiating an aura that twisted reality. Their arrival caused the skies to tremble, and even elite demons hesitated.
"Battle Goddess Aria," the figure intoned, "your victories are impressive… but your realm will crumble under my influence."
Aria raised her staff, aura blazing brilliantly. "Eren… watch closely. Strength alone isn't enough—strategy, restraint, and heart matter most."
The battle erupted. Spells collided, shadows twisted reality, and the enemy adapted faster than anyone Aria had faced before. Yet she moved with precision, restraining attacks, stabilizing the realm's magic, and neutralizing the enemy's influence without harming a single demon.
I whispered, awe-struck, "She's… handling all of this… without a single strike?"
Aria glanced at me, faint smile on her face. "Eren… chaos doesn't matter when we face it together. Every challenge is lighter with you here."
Step by step, she dismantled the enemy's schemes. Slowly, the mysterious figure faltered, realizing their plans could not overcome her intelligence, power, and heart.
I held her hand tightly. "You're incredible."
She leaned against me, aura glowing softly. "Because, Eren… no matter the threat, we face it together."
Once again, the demon realm was safe—not through destruction, but through Aria's unmatched strategy, power, and heart, with me right by her side.
