My Girlfriend Is Stronger Than the Demon Lord – Volume 38 (Chapter 38)
The demon realm had never felt so tense. Even with Aria's victories over ancient and powerful foes, whispers of a new, united threat spread quickly.
"Eren," Aria said, holding my hand as we stood atop the castle walls, "a coalition of demons has formed. They've united specifically to challenge me… and to test everything I've built here."
I frowned. "A coalition? That sounds… like a really bad idea for them."
Her cheeks pinked faintly. "Yes, but their numbers and coordination are unprecedented. They're not just strong individually—they are organized, cunning, and extremely motivated."
Before we could plan, Gorvath rushed in, flustered.
"My Lady! Every demon faction is reporting unusual movements—coordinated attacks, sabotage attempts, and dark magic spreading through multiple regions!"
Aria's eyes narrowed. "Eren… this is more than a test of power. This is a test of leadership, strategy, and our ability to work together. Are you ready?"
I gripped her hand tightly. "Always. No matter what comes, I'm with you."
By nightfall, the coalition's forces had gathered: elite demons, shadow constructs, and rogue mages, all moving in perfect synchronization. Their leader, a figure cloaked in ever-shifting darkness, addressed Aria.
"Battle Goddess Aria," the leader's voice echoed, "your victories are impressive… but united, we will crush your realm."
Aria raised her staff, aura blazing brilliantly. "Eren… watch closely. True power isn't just defeating enemies—it's controlling the battlefield, guiding allies, and protecting everyone."
The battle erupted. Attacks came from all sides, magic twisted reality, and the coalition adapted quickly. Aria moved with precision, restraining attacks, redirecting threats, and neutralizing enemy leaders without harming a single soul.
I whispered, awe-struck, "She's… managing all of this… at once?"
Aria glanced at me, faint smile on her face. "Eren… chaos is easier to face when we face it together. Every challenge is lighter with you by my side."
Step by step, she dismantled the coalition's strategy, breaking their unity while protecting the realm. Slowly, the enemy realized resistance was futile.
I held her hand tightly. "You're incredible."
She leaned against me, aura glowing softly. "Because, Eren… no matter how many enemies unite, we face them together."
Once more, the demon realm was safe—not through destruction, but through Aria's unmatched strategy, power, and heart, with me right by her side.
