My Girlfriend Is Stronger Than the Demon Lord – Volume 37 (Chapter 37)
The demon realm had grown tense again. Even with Aria's recent victories, an uneasy aura lingered over the lands.
"Eren," Aria said softly, holding my hand as we walked along the castle's lava-lit corridors, "I feel it… something from long ago, something forgotten, is awakening. This threat is unlike anything we've faced."
I swallowed hard. "Forgotten? Ancient? How bad can it be?"
Her eyes darkened slightly, cheeks pink. "This isn't just power—it's cunning, experience, and a deep understanding of demon magic. One misstep could destabilize the entire realm."
Before we could prepare further, Gorvath burst in, panicked as always.
"My Lady! Reports indicate massive magical surges across the southern and western territories! Creatures from long-sealed dungeons are escaping, and even elite demons are being overpowered!"
Aria's eyes narrowed. "Eren… this is more than a battle. It's strategy, power, and endurance all at once. Are you ready to face it with me?"
I gripped her hand tightly. "Always. Chaos, danger… we face it together."
By dusk, the ancient demon appeared: a towering figure shrouded in black flames, radiating an aura that bent reality itself. Their arrival caused the skies to darken and rivers of lava to boil.
"Battle Goddess Aria," the demon intoned, voice echoing like thunder, "I have waited centuries. Your victories are impressive, but this realm will finally fall."
Aria raised her staff, aura blazing brilliantly. "Eren… watch carefully. Strength alone isn't enough—strategy, adaptability, and heart matter most."
The battle erupted. Spells collided, the ground cracked, and shadows twisted in unnatural ways. Aria adapted instantly, restraining the demon's attacks, neutralizing destructive magic, and protecting her people without harming a single soul.
I whispered, awe-struck, "She's… handling an ancient demon… without outright destruction?"
Aria glanced at me, faint smile on her lips. "Eren… chaos doesn't matter when we face it together. Every challenge is lighter with you here."
Step by step, she dismantled the ancient demon's strategy, turning their centuries of experience against them. Slowly, the demon realized defeat was inevitable.
I held her hand tightly. "You're incredible."
She leaned against me, aura glowing softly. "Because, Eren… no matter the enemy, we face it together."
Once more, the demon realm was safe—not through destruction, but through Aria's unmatched power, wisdom, and heart, with me right by her side.
