Sure, That's Very Magical-Girl of You / Sensory Deprivation Trap ...

"Damn it, if the tiger doesn't show its might, do you really think I'm some little kitten? Three Rings: Hundred-Bone Severance!"

Yao had finally reached the end of her patience. Her twin blades crossed, and an enormous net woven from countless slashes spread around her, instantly cutting down every monster nearby.

"What? The monsters I prepared so carefully were wiped out in one move..." Li Xuan was horrified. There were barely any monsters left at his side capable of blocking Yao's advance. Without those specialized meat shields, there was no way his speed could evade Yao's pursuit.

"Damn it, this move burns through a lot of mental energy. You'd better be ready to pay me back for it!" Yao felt a wave of dizziness, but seeing Li Xuan seemingly driven into a corner, she forced herself to focus and chased after him at top speed.

"I'm screwed! I'm really screwed this time! Why is a Grade A magical girl so strong?! Whatever, I'm getting out of here!" Li Xuan wore a terrified expression as he opened a portal and plunged headfirst into the Delusive Badlands.

"Spatial fluctuations? That's right! This is the lair Saroye mentioned! I can't believe I stumbled into this major achievement! Don't run!"

Sensing the spatial disturbance ahead, Yao was overjoyed. She leaped forward like a shell fired from a cannon.

Opening or closing a portal to the Delusive Badlands required a certain amount of time. That would not have mattered against most people, but against a high-speed enemy like Yao, it created the risk of intrusion.

Sure enough, Li Xuan had barely entered the Delusive Badlands when Yao chased right in after him, catching the final instant before the passage vanished.

"Hahahaha, trash? Uncle~ Now you've got nowhere to run, right? There don't seem to be any helpers in your lair either. I can't sense even the slightest trace of Evil Energy." Yao stared at the flustered Li Xuan with a triumphant look.

"You're right. There are no other 'people' here. Looks like all I can do is put on an empty-fort strategy." Li Xuan seemed to have given up struggling, standing there with a bitter smile as he let Yao approach him step by step.

"Well? Useless old man, since you gave me those lyrics, kneel down and lick my toes right now. Maybe I'll give you a quick death~ Otherwise, I'll use these two blades to slice you apart piece by piece until nothing but bones remain. Sounds exciting, doesn't it~?" Seeing Li Xuan sitting there waiting to die made Yao feel incomparably refreshed. Her smile nearly stretched to her ears.

"Wait! Before I die, I have one last request!" Li Xuan hurriedly pleaded.

"Don't tell me you want me to help you with my feet again? That's impossible. I'll cut that big thing off in one stroke and mince it into filling." Remembering the humiliation from that day, Yao immediately revealed a cruel smile.

"No, no, you misunderstand. My request is this: please make sure to keep that arrogant expression on your face. Don't break too easily. Otherwise, I'll get very bored." As Li Xuan spoke, the desperate distortion on his face abruptly turned into an amused smile.

"Huh? Still talking tough when death is at your doorstep? I think you're—" Yao was about to humiliate Li Xuan further when a violent pain suddenly struck her head. The agony blurred her vision, and she nearly lost her grip on her blades.

Of course, this was not something Li Xuan's Mind Interference alone could achieve. Just like when they had forcibly controlled Tang Xi last time, this was a mental attack launched jointly by Mian Yin and Li Xuan.

"See you later, little trash~ You can stay here and play for now. I hope you won't be broken by the time I come back. Don't blame me for fighting dirty—switching bases is basic tactics." After saying that, Li Xuan extended a tentacle and plucked off Yao's hair accessory, then opened a portal right in front of her and returned to the real world, leaving Yao alone in an empty headquarters—

Along with Mianyin Alice, who wore a wicked smile and was preparing to enter Yao's dreams for a thorough round of mischief.

"Damn it... don't go!" Yao watched helplessly as Li Xuan vanished. Her drowsiness grew stronger and stronger until she finally could not resist closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Guitarist Yao had been successfully captured.

When Li Xuan returned to the real world, Felia had already shot down more than half of the monsters filling the sky. The two groups of magical girls were taking turns containing Saroye and Felia, but wary of each other's powerful attacks, they could only harass from the outskirts.

Fortunately, Black Cat had also consumed a great deal of magical power. She was no longer running that full-field hard-control cheat, instead hiding beneath Felia's skirt to control a few stronger monsters and direct Felia's precise shots one by one.

An unknown number of discarded guns and cannons had already piled up around Felia's feet. Li Xuan guessed that she probably possessed Spatial Type abilities as well. Otherwise, how could her skirt possibly hide that much firepower? It could not seriously be some kind of four-dimensional asshole, could it?

"Begin phase two." Li Xuan sent a signal to the five magical girls through their minds. The five of them immediately ran to contain Saroye, while the monsters surged toward where Saroye was hiding. For a moment, the space around Felia was completely cleared.

On this carefully prepared stage, Li Xuan slowly approached Felia from the front. Though he had seen her countless times through the Hunting Radar, only when he truly stood before her did he fully feel the pressure brought by her height.

Li Xuan was already rather tall among men, yet before Felia, he still appeared extremely short.

The moment Li Xuan met Felia's gaze, a system prompt arrived:

[Magical girl locked on]

[Name: Felia]

[Magic Power Level: Grade A]

[Type: Prayer Type]

[Height: 215 cm]

[CUP Level: F]

She really was Prayer Type? Your whole aesthetic seems kind of wrong, doesn't it? Weren't Prayer Types supposed to have no combat ability? That huge chest was nice, but her muscles were harder than mine. I really couldn't get interested.

Li Xuan silently mocked her in his heart.

"Hello, Miss Felia. Although this is our first meeting, I've been watching you for a long time. I imagine you're the strongest member of the entire band," Li Xuan said as he approached to within a dozen meters of Felia, staring into her beautiful blue eyes.

"Strong? Sorry, I'm merely a support worker responsible for healing. You, on the other hand—a mere Grade B monster capable of setting up such a grand formation—have indeed surpassed my expectations. But in the end, it is nothing more than a sideshow. As long as you have no individual capable of confronting a Grade A head-on, you cannot truly kill any one of us," Felia said bluntly.

"You're right. I haven't killed a single one of you." As Li Xuan spoke, he tossed Yao's hair accessory at Felia's feet.

"This is... Yao's hair accessory? What did you do to Yao?!" Seeing it at her feet, Felia immediately looked both shocked and furious.

"Don't worry, she's not dead. She's merely been locked away. If you want her to live, you'd better obediently listen to me. Judging by the two of you, your magic power is probably nearly exhausted, right? Why not surrender? I'm very gentle with girls, you know." Li Xuan smiled.

"Keep dreaming! I may have grown weaker, but that does not mean you have grown stronger. Prepare to pay the price, you heretic!" Driven by the fury of revenge, Felia pulled a Gatling gun blazing with blue fire from beneath her skirt and unleashed a rapid rat-a-tat-tat-tat at Li Xuan.

This Was Definitely Very Magical Girl

Li Xuan had long prepared himself to endure the attack, so he had already drunk Wine of Ecstasy that enhanced his defense. Felia's attacks were dense, but they did not possess Yao's instant-kill power. He swung his tentacles to dodge and block, but still fled in a miserable state for quite some distance before Felia's barrel finally overheated.

"I'll give you one chance! Release Yao, and we'll immediately abandon the mission, leave Clear Lotus City, and never interfere with each other again. We'll never meet again!" Felia threw away the overheated machine gun and stared at the panting Li Xuan.

"Really? Even if it means offending the Church, you're willing to let me go?" Li Xuan asked sincerely.

"I can promise you that. To us, our companions are more important than the mission. Where is Yao now? If you want to make a deal, I must first confirm that she is safe." Seeing that Li Xuan seemed willing to communicate, Felia did not take out another weapon and instead remained where she was to negotiate with him.

"You really are kind, Sister. But unfortunately, I won't let any of you go." Seeing that she had temporarily let her guard down because of the negotiation, Li Xuan suddenly snapped his fingers. A black void immediately appeared above Felia's head, pouring down countless colorful liquids.

Felia instinctively sensed that something was wrong. Contrary to her seemingly clumsy build, she was extremely agile, dodging away in a flash. But after dodging, she realized that Black Cat was still standing there blankly.

"Damn it!" Felia was startled. She abruptly stopped, stomped the ground apart, and used the rebound to throw herself over Black Cat, shielding her beneath her body as the multicolored liquid poured over Felia.

"Alcohol?" Felia smelled an intense scent of liquor, and immediately felt a wave of discomfort spread through her body.

Petrification, poisoning, dizziness, fear, paralysis, blindness, paralysis, slowing, grievous injury, silence, reduced strength, reduced stamina, magic power drain, reduced magic resistance, reduced physical defense...

A long chain of negative effects was inflicted upon Felia. During the long preparation period, Li Xuan had brewed two kinds of wine. One was for buffs, all of which had already been used, while the rest carried negative effects. At that moment, he dumped nearly all of them onto Felia at once.

Felia slowly rose to her feet. Her body was soaked through, but Black Cat beneath her had not been splashed by even a drop. "This is... rather interesting. If I had to fight while enduring so many negative effects, you might indeed have a chance. But unfortunately, I am Prayer Type. I was born able to use Purification."

"Purification!" With Felia's sharp cry, holy light shone around her body. It was so gentle that it seemed capable of embracing all things, and it washed over the negative effects on Felia's body...

Yet it failed to remove even one of them.

"What? Purification doesn't work?" Felia's pupils shrank in shock. In her understanding, Purification magic was specifically meant to remove all sorts of abnormal statuses inflicted by monsters, as well as purify monster souls. It was an absolute power, a gift from Father God. Using Purification meant abnormal statuses would disappear, just as heating water meant it would boil. It was unquestionable common sense.

Yet this time, not a single negative effect Li Xuan had inflicted upon her had been removed. It felt as though her entire worldview had collapsed.

Seeing that Purification was ineffective, Li Xuan closed the passage he had already half-opened. He had originally planned to flee immediately if the effects were purified, then return after thoroughly breaking Yao and converting her into his own fighting force.

But he had not expected Wine of Ecstasy to be this effective. Even a Grade A Prayer Type's Purification could do nothing against it!

"Looks like we can only fight it out—Black Cat, how much magic power do you have left?" Felia asked.

"Just a little. Enough for a few Word Spirits." Black Cat stared at Li Xuan, her eyes seemingly puzzled, as if she had seen this person somewhere before.

"Stay there and protect yourself. If I die, use your Awakening to kill him." Felia strode toward Li Xuan, her eyes carrying the resolve of a martyr.

"Seriously? Sister, after taking that many negative effects, you still want to kill me? You can't even use magic anymore, can you?" Li Xuan laughed.

"In this chaotic situation, the enemy leader suddenly appearing—I understand that this may be bait. But if killing you can end everything, that alone is enough for me to stake my life on it." Felia removed her veil, revealing brilliant golden curls, then took off her white gloves and clenched her large, strong hands into fists.

"If magic won't work, you'll just use your fists? Sure. This was definitely very magical girl." Li Xuan liked this type that charged in without thinking, so he immediately fired a compressed Evil Energy Cannon at Felia.

She charged forward without dodging. Li Xuan continued fighting as he retreated, using his tentacles' mobility to continuously wear Felia down with ranged attacks.

But Li Xuan soon discovered that even with all those debuffs, Felia's speed and strength remained astonishing. She even caught his tentacles several times. If he had not decisively severed them, she would probably have dragged him over and beaten him senseless.

This girl's pretty fierce... Li Xuan was secretly alarmed. At this point, both Fallen Blood and Wine of Ecstasy had been completely depleted. Though he still had one or two thousand weak monster minions, he needed them as cannon fodder to help the five magical girls hold Saroye back. He could not summon them to protect himself now.

"Looks like I'll have to bring out the preparations for capturing Saroye early. This is my final trump card!"

After a gust from Felia's fist split his cheek again, Li Xuan realized that he could not drag this out any longer. Without monster protection and with Wine of Ecstasy's speed boost long gone, he could be beaten to death by a barrage of fists at any moment if he remained complacent.

With that thought, Li Xuan turned and ran toward a prepared direction, frantically firing Evil Energy Cannons behind him to slightly slow Felia's pursuit. Felia did not dodge at all, refusing to slow down even as Li Xuan's Evil Energy Cannons struck her body.

Watching Felia pursue relentlessly behind him, Li Xuan could not help feeling puzzled. She was obviously Prayer Type, so why did she possess physical abilities surpassing Battle Type? The system had clearly said that she was only Prayer Type, not a rare dual-type magical girl like Yao!

But there was no time for further thought. Escaping with his life was the priority.

Fortunately, Felia herself was also burdened with a full set of debuffs. With her magic power nearly depleted, she was relying almost entirely on her physical ability to hold on. This allowed Li Xuan to successfully flee to the trap zone originally prepared for Saroye—the abandoned factory where he had once given the three girls their pre-job training.

Sensory Deprivation Trap

By the time Li Xuan reached the factory, he had fired so many shots to hinder Felia that the Evil Energy within him was nearly exhausted.

"Prepare to die!" Felia clearly noticed this as well. She accelerated once more, preparing to seize Li Xuan in one decisive move.

With her magic power depleted, Felia could only run on the ground. The moment she stepped onto what appeared to be an ordinary patch of concrete, the ground suddenly collapsed. Felia hurriedly spread her arms and braced them against the entrance, narrowly avoiding falling all the way in.

"Damn it... what is this?"

She had considered the possibility of traps, but she had clearly watched Li Xuan walk across this place without issue. Why had the trap activated only when it was her turn?

"You must be wondering, right? These traps only react to magic power." Li Xuan turned back with a smile.

"Damn it..." Felia supported herself with both arms, trying to climb out, but Li Xuan immediately used all his strength to pin down her arms with his tentacles. At the same time, Felia could clearly feel many slick tentacles wrapping around the lower half of her body, preventing her from climbing back up. She could only remain stuck halfway in the entrance like a Silver-ranked player, neither up nor down.

"Hmph. You don't seriously think a trap like this can hold me, do you? Once I get out, I'll make you pay dearly." Though everything below Felia's arms had fallen into the hole, she remained remarkably calm.

"This trap may look ordinary, but I prepared it with great care. Do you really think you can get out safely?" Li Xuan sneered and snapped his fingers. Felia immediately felt the ground around her begin to wriggle as well, wrapping around the parts of her body stuck in the ground without leaving even the slightest gap.

"The entire ground... is a monster?" Felia said in surprise.

"That's right. Surprised? ...Wait, where did your muscles go? No, no, you've shrunk by an entire size, haven't you?" Halfway through speaking, Li Xuan suddenly noticed that the nun before him seemed to have changed.

The hard, bulging muscles on her body, like the roots of old trees, gradually vanished. In their place were full, rounded feminine curves. Even her once sharply defined face had softened, making her seem a size smaller. Though she was still at least two meters tall after shrinking, she now looked rather cute.

"My muscles... were originally maintained with magic power. Now that my magic power is exhausted, naturally they have disappeared. To maintain the authority of the band leader, I wanted to look a little more imposing." Felia did not avoid the subject at all, but her willingness to volunteer information gave Li Xuan the feeling that she was trying to stall for time.

However, Li Xuan was also planning to stall, so he did not expose her little scheme.

"I think you're cuter like this!" Li Xuan looked at Felia before him. As he spoke, her body had shrunk considerably more. If the monster at the entrance could not automatically adjust its grip, she would probably have fallen straight through.

Li Xuan placed a Hunting Mark on Felia and observed her from a global perspective. She was now about 1.8 meters tall. Though still tall, she had at least reached a height one might occasionally encounter walking down the street.

Even so, her chest had not shrunk in the slightest. It remained an impressive F cup, only one size smaller than Li Sijie's.

Those F-cup breasts were currently caught at ground level. Because the monster held her so tightly, they appeared especially prominent.

"Is that so? Thank you for the compliment. It would be even better if you could stop these monsters from touching me. They're truly disgusting." Felia frowned.

"Hahaha, Sister, you really are funny. But you're willing to talk to me like this because you're stalling for time, aren't you? After all, the negative effects I inflicted are strong but short-lived. Once the time runs out and you recover, you'll immediately be able to turn the tables." Li Xuan smiled.

"You saw through that too? No wonder you were able to capture so many magical girls. You really do have some skill." Felia smiled.

"But unfortunately, I'm stalling for time too~" Li Xuan approached with a wicked smile, crouched down, and extended a finger to poke Felia's full breasts caught in the ground. Each poke left a little dent in the soft, honeydew-like flesh, which swiftly bounced back once he removed his finger. Li Xuan enjoyed himself immensely.

"Stalling? Do you think dragging this out benefits you more? I can feel the abnormal statuses about to disappear. When that happens, you'll—" Felia froze halfway through speaking. She sensed that something seemed vaguely wrong with the part of her body below the ground.

"Oh? Looks like you've noticed. But it's too late, Sister. This trap was made to restrain an Undying body. Even after the negative effects disappear, you won't be able to get out anytime soon." Li Xuan smiled smugly.

"A toxin with a paralysis effect? My lower body is becoming harder and harder to move... no, it isn't poison. It's the sensation in my body... disappearing? A monster that deprives people of their senses?" Having finally realized what was happening, Felia said in shock.

"Hehehe, you're only half right. This trap does indeed block sensation, but the monsters here have another function." Li Xuan wore the wicked smile of someone whose scheme had succeeded.

"They're absorbing my magic power? Damn it, then I won't be able to replenish the magic power I've already consumed..."

Felia quickly sensed the trap's other function. The monsters beneath her were absorbing her magic power and gradually growing.

She knew things were bad and desperately tried to climb upward, but the surrounding ground itself was made of monsters. It was sticky and soft, offering no point of leverage. The loss of sensation in her lower body also prevented Felia from exerting force with her whole body.

"What a nuisance. Doesn't this mean I can't even feel whether my body is moving?" Felia desperately kicked her legs. Her legs were indeed moving, but Felia, who was making the motion, received no feedback at all. Even as the negative effects on her body gradually faded, the combined effects of her depleted magic power and sensory deprivation still left her unable to escape the trap's restraint.

"Thanks for providing the magic power. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to keep fighting." As Li Xuan spoke, he extended a tentacle into the deep cleft between Felia's breasts, passing down below to channel the energy collected by the magic-draining tentacles into his own body.

"You can only be arrogant for a little while longer. The negative effects on me have already disappeared. Even Grade A's basic defense alone can withstand any attack you have. Once Saroye deals with those monsters, she'll soon bring Black Cat to rescue me." Though trapped in a desperate situation, Felia remained composed.

"You look quite calm. No wonder you're the band's leader. You're right, my attack power is indeed weak. It's even inferior to Wu Yan, who has only just risen to Grade B. Since neither of us can do anything to the other, why don't we peacefully watch a little movie?"

Li Xuan took out his phone, propped it up with a tentacle in front of Felia's eyes, and used Hunting Radar to project an image of Felia's lower body onto the screen.

"Father God above! This... is this really my body?" Felia, who had been calm just moments ago, turned deathly pale at the image displayed on the phone. Her expression became terrified.

Nun-Branded Water Gun

Although Felia could no longer feel any movement below her body, her physiological reactions had not stopped.

While the two talked, each harboring their own schemes, the tentacles in the trap continued working diligently. They nimbly slipped into Felia's clothing and continuously roamed across the soft skin that had returned after her magic power ran dry, smearing her body with liquid that heightened sensitivity.

Under the tentacles' meticulous massage, Felia's entire body had been thoroughly awakened, entering a state suitable for bearing offspring.

Seeing that she was ready, the tentacles mercilessly began massaging her entire body. Though her most crucial areas had been spared humiliation on Li Xuan's orders, nearly every other part of her had been thoroughly worked over by the tentacles.

"Oh no, you can't do this to me! Hey, do you understand what a nun means? A nun is Father God's bride. I have already sworn never to marry for the rest of my life—how can you defile my body like this?"
