Magical Girls? There's No Going Back Now!

For a moment, Li Xuan thought he was done for, but for some reason, Black Cat did not attack.

After a brief panic, Li Xuan gradually adapted to the chaotic scene before him. He forced himself to clear away his distracting thoughts and regain his composure.

He quickly realized that he was not completely without a chance. Though his senses were currently scrambled, there was still one source of information he could rely on—the Hunting Radar.

Although the images transmitted by the Hunting Radar had also become fragmented, he could directly perceive the markers' locations on a mental level.

Through the black marker representing Black Cat, Li Xuan realized that she was circling around him, trying to approach him. Yet her route was winding and indirect, as if an invisible maze surrounded him.

His senses had clearly been completely thrown into disarray. One more swipe of her claws would kill him for real, so why was Black Cat still wandering back and forth instead of coming straight at him?

Because of the cognitive barrier, she probably did not know he was the older brother who had taken her fishing. She had no reason to hold back.

With that thought, an idea suddenly came to Li Xuan: perhaps she was lost just like he was?

Using the positioning provided by the Hunting Radar, Li Xuan tried to move through this muddled world.

He soon encountered an obstacle. His raised leg struck an unknown flat surface, but since he did not know whether he was standing or lying down, he could not tell whether it was the ground or a wall.

It seemed that merely knowing Black Cat's location was not enough to get him out of this maze.

Fortunately, Li Xuan had also marked Felia's location. While Black Cat kept shifting around, the trapped Felia was clearly staying still.

By repeatedly testing the changes in distance between the two points, Li Xuan gradually deduced the rules of this world:

Here, there were not six directions—up, down, left, right, forward, and back—but seven. Though it seemed like there was only one extra direction, the changes it caused were immeasurable.

The greatest change was that no direction simply corresponded to an opposite anymore. The basic logic of forward matching back and left matching right no longer applied in this world. To return to his original position, he had to advance at a certain angle.

Yet even knowing this, he was not confident he could defeat awakened Black Cat.

The safest option now was to take the immobile Felia back to the Delusive Badlands first, then make further plans. So he began using the rules he had just grasped to move through this distorted, inverted world.

This way of moving was utterly counterintuitive. With every step, Li Xuan had to repeatedly compare the two markers with his own relative position, ensuring that he was gradually approaching the white dot marking Felia's location.

During the process, the scrambled directions occasionally caused him tearing pain. But when he thought of the bratty little woman waiting in the Delusive Badlands for his punishment, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

After crawling along at a pace slower than a snail's, Li Xuan suddenly felt that the scenery around him no longer seemed quite so distorted. This considerably increased his speed.

Li Xuan quickly understood: the center of the chaos was Black Cat herself. The farther he moved away from her, the more orderly his surroundings became. Soon, he no longer needed to rely on triangulation, instead easily reaching Felia by judging the scene before his eyes.

At this distance, Black Cat's influence had completely vanished, and everything around him had finally returned to normal. Black Cat probably did not want her awakening to affect Felia, so she had deliberately kept her distance.

"It feels so good to be able to walk normally!" Li Xuan raised both arms and let out a long breath. The intense sense of security was like finding a narrow path back to familiar territory after being lost in an unfamiliar neighborhood for hours.

"You got out of Black Cat's awakening?" Seeing Li Xuan unharmed, Felia could not help but stare in shock.

"That's right, I got out." Li Xuan smiled smugly.

"That's impossible! Impossible! Black Cat's awakening is a maze that can trap even Grade S monsters! It is a supreme ability capable of affecting the laws of the world! How could you just casually walk out of it?"

Felia's eyes were filled with disbelief, as if she had watched someone calculate hash values by hand with a pencil and scratch paper, then successfully mine Bitcoin.

No wonder she was so shocked. Without the Hunting Radar's triangulation, I might really have been trapped to death in there. Even if I stayed still, Black Cat would have found me eventually and killed me with one swipe.

"Don't be so surprised. Maybe I just got lucky and found a loophole in the maze."

Naturally, Li Xuan would not tell her the real reason he had escaped. Instead, he bent down and checked the time on his phone. He had been trapped in the maze for over an hour, which meant Felia had endured more than an hour of tentacle massage as well.

The pleasure accumulated for so long should be enough stimulation, right?

"What are you going to do?" Seeing the unfriendly look in Li Xuan's eyes, Felia sensed that something was wrong.

"Please prepare yourself, Lady Felia. The pleasure accumulated over more than an hour is about to erupt at this very moment. I really hope you can endure it." Li Xuan grinned wickedly.

"No! Don't do this! I'll go insane!" Felia was instantly seized by terror. She had thought she would be free once Black Cat killed Li Xuan, but he had actually escaped the range of her awakening on his own. The relief she had just felt immediately turned into dread again.

Seeing the normally calm and composed nun panic like this, Li Xuan wanted to tease her a little longer. But he knew Black Cat would immediately chase after him once she discovered his escape, so he did not hesitate. He raised his right hand and counted down from three.

"Three! Two! One!!!"

After the countdown ended, Li Xuan snapped his fingers. Felia reflexively shut her eyes and tensed every muscle in her body, preparing for the overwhelming impact.

Sensory Blockade, Released!

However, several seconds passed, and the anticipated overwhelming pleasure never came. Felia found that her lower body was still numb.

"Was he actually lying to me? The pleasure doesn't accumulate—it disappears when the sensations are blocked?"

Felia instinctively came to that conclusion. After all, Li Xuan had just lied about making her repent, only for the cross to end up in her rear entrance. Someone who had lied once lying again was hardly unusual.

So she opened her eyes again, and her tense muscles relaxed.

Then she saw the triumphant smile on Li Xuan's face.

The Wine of Ecstasy with its sensory-blocking effect had been stored by Li Xuan inside the monsters, and only remained active because the monsters continuously applied it to Felia's skin.

The moment they received Li Xuan's order, the monsters stopped applying the Wine of Ecstasy. However, the portions already applied would continue working for another dozen seconds.

Only after that would Felia's normal sensations return. Li Xuan had deliberately taken advantage of that brief delay, staggering the timing so Felia would mistakenly think it was over and unconsciously relax.

The result was that Felia directly endured the immense pleasure accumulated over more than an hour without any preparation.

"Ugh—ah—"

As feeling returned, Felia let out a loud wail. It felt as though a bomb had exploded inside her, reducing every cell in her body to ruins capable of holding nothing but pleasure.

The violent impact made her roll her eyes on the spot. The stimulation endured by every part of her body varied, and now it all erupted at once.

Felia felt as if her brain had been hit by a kitchen blast, leaving it utterly blank. Nothing but explosive physical sensation surged into her mind, making a chaste and dignified nun wear a lewd expression on the spot.

Because of the intense convulsions in her lower body, the cross and necklace Li Xuan had inserted earlier were squeezed out by her twisted, spasming body.

After the tentacles' modifications and Li Xuan's cultivation after taking her virginity, Felia's senses had become extraordinarily sensitive. Over the course of more than an hour, she had reached climax several times per minute on average. The hundreds, perhaps thousands, of climaxes she had experienced now erupted all at once.

This powerful impact shattered Felia's reason, leaving her completely unable to think. Her entire body trembled and stiffened amid wave after wave of eruption, unable to free herself.

"Such exaggerated pleasure... oh, huff? Ah, ha... Father God? This really is..."

Felia's face was already covered in saliva and tears, a complete mess. She could not even utter a single meaningful sentence.

Although Li Xuan admired that she could still think of her Father God at a time like this, given the context, it was probably more of an exclamation like, "Oh my God."

As Felia reacted violently, Li Xuan finally heard the long-awaited system prompt:

[Defeat CG unlocked: Sensory Blockade Play (I)]

[CG elements: sensory blockade & trap & collapse]

[Experience +300]

[Current experience: 5/1000]

[Level increased to Lv. 6]

[Dark Pact increased to: Grade B+]

[New skill unlocked: Forbidden Mark]

[Delusive Badlands dominion authority increased to: Intermediate]

"Holy shit, how much? Three hundred?!!" Li Xuan felt as though the immense happiness might knock him unconscious. Though fighting a Grade A magical girl had brought him unprecedented pressure and danger, the rewards were rich enough to make it all worthwhile.

A full three hundred experience points had directly raised him to Level 6! And his authority over the Delusive Badlands had increased too.

Not only did that mean he would become stronger, it also meant he could build his headquarters into something even more prosperous. He had taken another gratifying step toward creating a super harem of magical girls!

Li Xuan impatiently looked at his new skill. If it could be used in battle, perhaps he could take Black Cat for himself while he was at it.

[Forbidden Mark: Consumes Evil Energy and a small amount of mental power to inscribe forbidden curse patterns onto a living being's skin. Effects can be freely adjusted. (Inscription takes a long time. The target must remain completely nonresistant throughout for the inscription to succeed.)]

Li Xuan was a little disappointed upon seeing this. Clearly, this skill could not be used in combat. Even though he had leveled up, the slight increase in Evil Energy was obviously not enough to defeat Black Cat's awakening.

But then another thought struck him: Isn't this basically a succubus tattoo? It can't be used directly in battle, but it's an incredible skill for humiliating magical girls!

Imagining magical girls with succubus tattoos inscribed on their lower abdomens by his own hand, Li Xuan immediately felt eager to try it.

To verify his guess, he opened the skill's detailed panel. Like Fallen Blood and Wine of Ecstasy, the panels for these customizable skills were extremely extensive, colorful and elaborate, like an oversized palette.

If the Wine of Ecstasy panel resembled the interface of a cocktail-mixing game, then Forbidden Mark was a drawing program.

On the interface, Li Xuan could freely choose brushes with various functions. Different texture directions and types of marks would affect the result, while the mark's area and quality determined the specific Evil Energy cost.

But overall, this was absolutely a skill made for succubus tattoos. Just seeing a few preset templates already made Li Xuan itch with anticipation:

[Enslavement, crystal vessel, degeneration, continuous climax, masochism, automatic counting, body reconstruction, star addiction, womb development...]

Every single one looked so interesting, and once combined, they seemed capable of producing chain reactions.

Of course, this skill was not solely for erotic amusement. Li Xuan also discovered some marks with strengthening effects. For example, they could transform the genetic factors released by the master into magic power stored in the womb, or enhance physical abilities after sufficient pleasure was received.

Li Xuan naturally intended to use such marks on the several magical girls who had already fallen, further improving their combat strength. However, these marks all seemed to have side effects that required strengthening, which undoubtedly posed a severe challenge to Li Xuan's kidneys.

Whatever, a challenge was a challenge! Let the magical girls come even harder!

Li Xuan happily began considering what mark he should give Wu Yan and what mark Xu Rou should receive. As for Bing Rui, who had stubbornly refused to submit, she definitely needed some special attention...

But just then, Black Cat's voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Felia! Felia!"

Black Cat's anxious cries came from afar, and the light around him dimmed once again. It seemed she had noticed Li Xuan's escape, so she lowered the power of her awakening and hurried over to protect her important companion.

The Beginning of the Nightmare

When Li Xuan saw Black Cat approaching, he opened a passage to the Delusive Badlands behind him, then dragged Felia out of the tentacle burrow.

He held her in the posture used to help a child urinate, spreading Felia's legs into a wide "M" and displaying every important part of her body toward the direction Black Cat was approaching from.

"Come on, smile. Yeah~" Estimating that Black Cat was close, Li Xuan whispered into Felia's ear.

"Yeah~" Felia had already stopped thinking. Upon hearing Li Xuan's words, she instinctively raised both hands in peace signs. A foolish smile lingered at the corners of her mouth, and even her eyes seemed to glitter with inexplicable heart shapes.

And Black Cat, who had just arrived, saw all of it.

"Felia... Felia!" Black Cat had never received this kind of education, so she did not understand what had happened. But Felia's appearance, so utterly different from usual, immediately made her freeze in place.

For Felia, who had always taken care of her daily life, Black Cat felt not only companionship but also a motherlike attachment. Although the mother in her memories was not quite like this, the depth of her feelings was no less profound.

Because of that attachment, Felia had always been perfect in her eyes.

She was holy, great, kind, and selfless. She could play drums, compose music, handle guns, unscrew bottle caps, repair air conditioners... She was an omnipotent nun and the invincible leader of their band.

Yet this Felia now appeared before her in an immensely shameful pose, wearing an expression Black Cat had never seen before.

Black Cat did not understand, but she was deeply shaken.

Taking advantage of Black Cat's shock, Li Xuan poked his head out from beside Felia and waved a tentacle. "Goodbye, cute little kitty. I'll come play with you again next time~"

"Don't go!!" Only then did Black Cat finally realize what was about to happen. She instantly raised the power of her awakening, but she was still too late.

While speaking, Li Xuan had already used his tentacles to brace against the ground and leap backward. Together with Felia, who had been played into collapse, he vanished into the pitch-black portal.

The moment he returned to the Delusive Badlands, Li Xuan ordered the magical girls to retreat. Several minutes later, the exhausted magical girls returned by teleportation while supporting one another. They also brought back dozens of barely surviving monsters.

"I'm very sorry, Master. We failed to capture that violent woman, and the monsters you went to such trouble to summon have basically all been wiped out." Wu Yan stepped forward in deep shame, while the other magical girls also showed guilty expressions.

Seeing that they were all alive and well, with no missing arms or broken legs, Li Xuan had no mind to blame them. He pulled Wu Yan up before she could kneel and gently told the girls:

"You all did great this time! You completed your mission perfectly and held off that troublesome enemy for me. As for those monsters, they were created to serve as cannon fodder. How could they be as precious as you? At worst, we'll replenish our magic power a few times and make more!"

Seeing that Li Xuan had no intention of blaming them and had even praised them, the magical girls all broke into delighted smiles. In their minds, being needed by their master was the greatest happiness.

What was more, their master had personally acknowledged that their status was higher than that of the monsters he had created. This made them feel even more honored.

"Master, isn't that the nun with the gun? You defeated her?" Sharp-eyed Tang Xi suddenly noticed Felia trembling constantly on the ground and was instantly astonished.

"Not only that. We captured two Grade A magical girls in this battle. Victory is already within reach." Li Xuan pointed at Yao, who was lying nearby and having nightmares.

"As expected of Master. With an entire team at Grade B, you achieved a sweeping victory against four Grade A opponents and even captured two of them alive. I have never heard of such a record even at Guardian Abbey." Tang Xi exclaimed.

"Enough flattery. Qi Mo, heal everyone first. Once they're healed, stay here for now and don't go out. I'll settle these two prisoners first. Oh, right—once Wu Yan is healed, go to Qi Mo's house and bring Bing Rui back too. It isn't safe leaving her outside after all." Li Xuan ordered.

"Master, you look badly injured too. Shouldn't I heal you first?" Qi Mo asked worriedly.

Only after Qi Mo pointed it out did Li Xuan realize that he was covered in injuries as well. He had taken quite a few of the nun's bullets, and he had inevitably been battered around in Black Cat's maze. They were not serious wounds, but minor injuries covered his entire body.

"It's fine. Heal yourselves first. I'm your master—just a few bullets won't hurt me." Li Xuan said righteously.

The magical girls behind him were deeply moved by his words. Obeying Li Xuan's order, they formed a circle and accepted Qi Mo's healing together.

If any of them had looked back at that moment, they would have seen their beloved master using tentacles to grab the newly captured Felia and Yao, then impatiently rushing toward the dungeon on the new platform.

Bratty little woman, this time I'll make you properly taste my power. Hehehehehe... Li Xuan laughed wildly in the depths of his heart.
