Hell's Four Consecutive Black Flashes! (Three-in-One)

Taiping Prefecture - Lost Land:

Call out-

The chain connecting to the Blade of Condemnation tore through space, sweeping towards Miss Hell at the edge of the attic.

Hell rolled to her right, dodging a sweeping attack that was only slightly shorter than her head, and thought to herself that sometimes being short has its advantages.

After sweeping through the enemy lines, Ji Yuan's attacks did not stop for a moment.

The relentless pursuit led him and the battlefield of Hell all the way to the rooftop outside the clock tower.

A more open space would be more advantageous for him.

"That's terrifying speed...!"

Miss Hell landed on the roof, stepping on the broken bricks and tiles, her eyes constantly watching Ji Yuan's every move.

The guy kept leaping back and forth around her. Although his speed was not as fast as that of other speedsters of the same level, it was far faster than that of other A-level superheroes.

"It's uncertain whether this guy has any other helpers."

Hell was somewhat worried that Ji Yuan had brought other helpers, after all, the other side had even prepared the venue and had multiple accomplices hidden in the shadows.

It's not impossible.

I'm distracted!

While warping, Ji Yuan seized the moment when Miss Hell was momentarily distracted and decisively swung his dagger, which came crashing down like an axe.

Hell decisively dodged to the side, but Ji Yuan had already chased after the dagger, grabbing the hilt in mid-air, and the blade suddenly slashed across Hell's cheek.

"Pfft...!"

As the girl retreated, a slight red scratch appeared on the left side of her face.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan flicked the dagger on the chain and said regretfully, "Don't worry, the blade of Condemnation can't be coated with demonic poison, and ordinary poison probably won't work on you magical girls either."

Bang, bang, bang!!

The dagger continued to pound the ground, while Miss Hell raised her hand and gently wiped the blood from her face. "If this is all you have to offer, you're doomed."

o

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan's lips curled up slightly. "Is that so?"

Even though this young lady seemed to be at a disadvantage at this moment, her arrogant demeanor remained unchanged.

How interesting... What exactly is her trump card?

As soon as they finished speaking, Ji Yuan launched another attack on Hell, but Hell raised his hands as he retreated.

"We need to open up new domains!"

Ji Yuan decisively unleashed the Condemnation, intending to forcibly interrupt the unfolding of Hell's Domain Expansion by utilizing the Condemnation's interrupting properties.

He had done all the research and preparation for the Magical Girl Hell, and knew that the opponent's domain could be quickly opened up.

Therefore, he was on guard against this move the entire time.

As expected, seeing the dagger coming, Hell "had no choice" but to dodge again, unable to deploy its domain in place.

Wow!

Ji Yuan lunged forward again, grabbing the dagger in mid-air. This time, he aimed at Hell's neck.

But is it really necessary for Hell to open up its own domain?

That's not the case. Her gesture of raising her hand was merely a ploy to lure Ji Yuan over.

In this brief moment.

The girl's right fist, which was originally forming a hand seal, instantly changed direction and slammed towards Ji Yuan.

The latter was startled. A veteran of Hundred Battles, he almost instinctively raised his Condemnation to block, never expecting his opponent to engage him in close combat at this moment.

"Court death...!"

Unexpectedly, in the instant that Hell threw her punch, the demonic power within her body had already boiled over.

Since the Cursed Technique can't be used, let's use all the magic to strengthen our bodies.

"Um?!"

"Bang!!"

The three-fold enhancement of his physical body by the Sukuna power made the power of Hell's punch far exceed Ji Yuan's expectations, so much so that he was instantly sent flying.

Boom!

His body crashed into an old, dilapidated brick house and disappeared into the dust.

"Whoosh!"

In a flash, Ji Yuan reappeared beside Hell, wielding the Condemnation, and attacked once more.

Clearly, the attack from Hell had surprised him, but it had only caused him minor injuries at most.

But Ji Yuan is different. With the Condemnation in his hand, he can completely ignore the magic defenses of Hell and directly attack the most vulnerable flesh of Hell.

The two clashed in an instant, but somehow...

The more Ji Yuan fought, the more he felt something was wrong.

Whenever his attack seemed poised to strike Hell, this guy would dodge as if he had read his attack instructions.

For Ji Yuan, a Hundred Battles- hardened and perceptive man, this was a terrifying thing, because in his view, it meant that Hell probably hadn't used its full strength.

Or perhaps... that sudden burst of speed was one of her trump cards?

Therefore, Ji Yuan decided to take it seriously.

Because this magical girl was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined.

The moment he decided to get serious, Ji Yuan's speed increased dramatically, and he simultaneously swung his dagger, attacking Hell from two different angles.

This forces Hell to reveal a weakness on one side.

More importantly, at this moment, golden light shone in Ji Yuan's eyes, and the speed of Hell began to slow down drastically.

Three times the speed!

At Ji Yuan's waist, a miniature hourglass began its countdown; it was a tool he received after signing a contract with a demon.

With this demonic artifact, Ji Yuan can increase his speed three times, like speeding up a movie.

With the speed boost of three times, Ji Yuan swiftly changed his position, instantly appearing behind Hell and grabbing the hilt of the Condemnation Blade.

It shoved straight into the head of Hell.

That is the starting point of the magic circuit; if it is destroyed in a day, even a god could not save Hell.

At this very moment, Magical Girl Hell has fallen into an absolute disadvantage...!

At this moment, Hell had only one choice: to risk serious injury and exchange blood with Ji Yuan.

Sizzle!

But at that moment, the deep blue lightning unique to Miss Hell's Speed Force finally broke free of its concealment, and in an instant...

It erupted.

Ji Yuan, caught in the midst of the attack, paused, his thoughts momentarily stunned.

Before this, even though Hell dodged his attacks several times, he had never considered the possibility that Hell possessed the Speed Force.

In that instant, Hell clenched its fist and turned around.

"Bang!!"

The speed she unleashed in an instant was 30% faster than the three times the speed Ji Yuan achieved through the hourglass of time.

This is extremely deadly in combat.

As the saying goes, spilled water cannot be gathered up again. Even Ji Yuan, who had Hundred Battles, couldn't back down now. He had no choice but to take a gamble.

Bet your speed is faster than Hell.

Unfortunately, Ji Yuan lost his gamble.

"Bang!!"

Miss Hell's heavy punch slammed into Ji Yuan's ribs, and the dark, deep space distorted and reappeared at that moment.

After several rounds of battles, Hell has found its rhythm.

So..

Black Flash!

"Boom!!"

Starting from the ground where Ji Yuan was located, a violent burst of magical power razed the entire semi-circular ground and street to the ground.

Hell gently tossed his long hair, revealing a somewhat excited smile, and called out into the pitch-black smoke and dust, "Hey, Mr. Ji Yuan, you're not dead, are you?"

"Don't lie to me, I know you're still alive."

Amidst the smoke and dust, Ji Yuan stretched his arms and slowly walked out, the ease he had shown moments before no longer visible on his face.

Instead, there was an absolute vigilance and wariness towards Hell in his slightly lowered eyes.

How did you manage to take that punch from me?

Miss Hell glanced at her palm. Her punch, Black Flash, just now, in terms of sheer power, could probably kill Magical Girl Frost and Snow in one blow.

But Ji Yuan appeared to be completely unharmed?

Ji Yuan raised his hand and smoothed the black bangs on his forehead. In his deep red eyes, the killing intent was undisguised.

"You're quite interesting, Magical Girl Hell? No... are you really a magical girl? If you are, why do you possess the Speed Force?"

"Or is it that you, like me, made a pact with some demon god in the Subspace, and thus obtained the Speed Force?"

The Thunder Demon is unlikely, as Hell had just offended it. Besides, in the Subspace, it seems the only one who possesses the Speed Force is that God of Speed?

Ji Yuan's heart was not as relaxed as it appeared on the surface.

In fact, that punch from Hell really did severely injure him.

However, he transferred all these injuries to the entire Abandoned Land through some kind of contract.

In other words, to kill Ji Yuan in the Abandoned Land, you have to destroy the entire Abandoned Land first.

This is why he was so confident at first, because for an A-rank magical girl, it is impossible to destroy the entire Abandoned Land.

But things are different now. Ji Yuan's rating of Magical Girl Hell has risen from A to nearly A10.

That terrifyingly enhanced physical strength, coupled with that twisted, jet-black lightning—was it Black Flash...?

I might actually die at her hands.

Unlike the fake noble families in Hell, Ji Yuan truly comes from one of the oldest magic families in the Eastern Continent.

Therefore, he had some knowledge of Black Flash.

But he always thought that Black Flash was just a legend among mages and never took it seriously, especially since he himself did not have Magic Cursed Technique.

"Should we retreat...?"

Ji Yuan and Hell paced cautiously across the ruins, while also pondering the question in their hearts.

"No...

Ji Yuan suddenly rejected this answer in his mind, because he saw the murderous intent beneath the girl's joyful expression.

This magical girl could not possibly allow herself to live any longer, because she knew the secret she held?

Come to think of it, how could a magical girl, the flagship product of the Colossus Company, secretly collaborate with a demon from the Subspace?

Otherwise, how do you explain her Speed Force—where does it come from?

The hands of Hell burned with pitch-black magic.

The young woman gently raised her hand, her smile pleasant, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji Yuan, I don't really want to answer any questions right now."

"Right now, I just want to see how many punches it will take to kill you."

Hell's cheeks were flushed at this moment, a result of entering "zone mode" and unleashing Black Flash.

Every cell in her body was cheering for that punch.

Not only are their thoughts clearer, but the efficiency of their magic conversion also increases.

Because this was a full-force attack after unleashing magic, the physical response was even more intense than before.

"Yeah?"

Seeing this, Ji Yuan's lips suddenly curled up slightly. He then gripped the dagger tightly and assumed a fighting stance once more. "Let's see who comes out on top in the end."

Magical Girl Hell was the first person to make him feel threatened in the Abandoned Land; there had never been anyone like her before.

The two erupted simultaneously.

Ji Yuan activated his triple speed, while Hell unleashed the full power of his Speed Force, his hair flashing with deep blue arcs of electricity, trailing a long "tail flame."

They fought from one end of the street to the other.

In the back and forth, the ancient buildings in the Abandoned Land collapsed as if they were shoddy construction projects.

During the exchange, Miss Hell delivered a whip kick to Ji Yuan's arm, accompanied by twisting black lightning, slamming him headfirst into the rubble.

Boom!

But the next second, Ji Yuan broke through the smoke again and threw the chain-linked Condemnation at Miss Hell.

Hell erupted with incredible speed, and while evading Condemnation, it had no time to consider whether Ji Yuan's capacity to bear it had any limit.

Because she sensed... Black Flash was coming!

Immediately following the whip kick, Ji Yuan attacked Hell, slicing off a section of Hell's hair with the Condemnation in his hand.

"Sizzle" Under Ji Yuan's shocked gaze, twisted black lightning flashed again on Hell's fist.

She punched Ji Yuan in the face, sending him flying backward and crushing several houses in his path.

"Pooh...

In the ruins.

Ji Yuan leaned against the rubble behind him, spat, and was surprised that Hell could unleash a second series of Black Flashes in such a short time.

And this Black Flash seems to be even faster than the last one?

"The Abandoned Land's carrying capacity is about half remaining..."

Ji Yuan mentally calculated the approximate remaining amount of the Abandoned Land, and finally rubbed his neck helplessly, shouting to his own shadow.

"If you don't show yourself soon, your doghouse might be gone."

As soon as he finished speaking, a jet-black wolf head emerged from Ji Yuan's shadow.

Seeing this, Hell flicked the dust off his hands and said, "So, this dog was the one who's been secretly watching me all along?"

As they spoke, a slender, wolf-shaped demon slowly emerged from Ji Yuan's shadow, its entire body shrouded in darkness.

Skynet: "I'm sorry, Miss Witch, I couldn't find any information about this demon, but its danger level is approximately A."

The demonic wolf didn't speak, only letting out a hoarse growl. Ji Yuan, standing beside him, stood up and stretched. "This guy's name is Shadow Wolf; he's a demon formed from the remnants of souls gathered in this Abandoned Land."

The pact between Ji Yuan and the Shadow Wolf was that he would provide corpses and nourishment to the Abandoned Land, while the Shadow Wolf would live in his shadow and share the damage for him.

In other words, the damage from Miss Hell's Black Flash attack was actually transferred to this demon through her shadow.

And this demon is one with the Abandoned Land.

Ji Yuan had barely finished speaking when the Shadow Wolf Devil, unable to contain itself, lunged towards Hell, but its speed seemed rather slow.

Hell then unleashed a full-power attack to test it, but to her surprise, the next second, her strike passed right through the opponent.

The Shadow Wolf's body vanished at that moment, and then it appeared in Miss Hell's shadow, biting at her head.

"Sizzle!"

Hell instinctively unleashed lightning speed in an attempt to evade the attack, but something unexpected happened.

Accompanied by a "pfft" sound.

Miss Hell's left forearm was instantly torn apart by the Shadow Wolf.

"Its speed...? It can actually keep up with the Speed Force?"

At the same time, a biting cold wind swept in from behind as Ji Yuan approached.

He certainly wouldn't give Hell the opportunity to break them up into one-on-one duels.

He summoned the Shadow Wolf precisely for the sake of a despicable two-on-one fight.

"Very good...!"

Hell laughed at their blatant two-on-one attack. Ignoring his severed left arm, he raised his right fist and slammed it at Ji Yuan. That fist, slightly filled with anger, actually distorted space once again with the Black Flash Triple Strike!

"Bang!!"

Ji Yuan's body flew backward again, but the Shadow Wolf only howled in place without launching an attack, as if each of its attacks needed a pause?

Seeing this, Hell activated the Reverse Cursed Technique with all its might, and in the blink of an eye, its slender, fair arm was reborn.

The young lady's voice was indifferent. "I hate dogs that bite... you know that?"

The girl lowered her eyes slightly. She had probably figured out the Shadow Wolf's ability mechanism, which was that its speed was synchronized at the shadow level.

As long as she stood still, the Shadow Wolf couldn't attack her.

But once she moves, the Shadow Wolf's speed can accelerate in sync with hers.

This is practically the nemesis of speedsters.

It's important to understand that ordinary speedsters don't possess the formidable physique and regenerative abilities of someone like Hell.

If they were to encounter Shadow Wolves, their fate would be self-evident; they would be completely at their mercy.

Of course, at this moment, Miss Hell's situation wasn't much better either.

Shadow Wolf lurked in the shadows, sealing off Hell's speed power, while Ji Yuan, with his triple speed, could easily suppress Hell.

The only good news is that once the Shadow Wolf broke free from Ji Yuan 'Ji Yuan shadow, it seemed unable to share the damage with him.

As expected, Ji Yuan, who rose from the ruins this time, had suffered considerable injuries.

The taste of Black Flash is truly awful.

The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, lightly flicked the chain in his hand, and gripped the Blade of Condemnation again. "Frankly, I don't believe you can unleash a fourth Black Flash, Miss Hell. That's Limitless low probability, impossible in the world."

As he spoke, his gaze locked onto Miss Hell's Soul Gem.

The Shadow Wolf, too, was lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce.

This is a hunting desire stemming from the demonic nature of the human heart.

"Let's be a little more patient."

Ji Yuan lowered his eyes, glancing at the Shadow Wolf beside him with a look of disappointment and frustration.

It's really troublesome to command someone who has no brains.

Fortunately, these mindless primitive Magic City easy to tame; they'll do anything as long as you feed them.

In this final showdown, he and Hell will determine the victor.

Ji Yuan knew clearly that his true form could not withstand Miss Hell's second Black Flash.

He had only taken one hit with his main body, and his bones and internal organs were already severely injured, so he had to end the battle as soon as possible.

Miss Hell sensed their thoughts. She didn't speak, but simply raised her hands slightly, causing the black flames to reignite.

Her magic is burning more intensely than ever before!

"Whoosh, Ji Yuan moved."

He used the same trick again, activating triple speed once more. His figure flashed and moved through the ruins, arriving at the left side of Hell, where he plunged his knife into the opponent's head.

Seeing this, Hell unleashed its Speed Force once more, dodging Ji Yuan's attack amidst a burst of deep blue lightning.

But this also attracted the attack of the Shadow Wolves.

Pfft!

In the blink of an eye, the Shadow Wolf tore open Miss Hell's abdomen, almost ripping off and devouring a third of her flesh and blood.

The Miss Hell's speed was thus interrupted, and as she retreated, a rare hint of "tension" appeared on her delicate and adorable face.

"It's over. I won't give you a chance to throw a punch."

Ji Yuan thought to himself, seized the opportunity, grabbed the dagger in mid-air, flashed forward, and stabbed at the Soul Gem on Hell's chest.

With the Soul Gem shattered, even a mere sixteen-year-old girl, no matter how much trouble she caused, would no longer be a match for him; he could easily pin her to the ground with one hand.

Of course, Ji Yuan had no interest in such underage kids.

Although Hell was beautiful, the underdeveloped girl's petite figure was not his type at all.

Simply put... it's too small and too short.

Ji Yuan prefers tall, well-endowed, and gentle adult women, not a spoiled rich girl like Hell.

She doesn't look like someone who can be easily appeased.

Just as Ji Yuan's dagger was about to pierce Hell's head.

The ring on Miss Hell's ring finger emitted a ghostly blue lightning bolt.

An arm covered in dark blue armor suddenly grabbed the Blade of Condemnation in mid-air.

"The sizzling, dark blue armor, which had somehow somehow covered Miss Hell's slender figure, provided superior protection from every angle."

Royal.

Ji Yuan's pupils dilated.

What the hell is this?

And his dagger couldn't even penetrate his defenses...?!

How could that be!

Unless this armor isn't a magical creation?!

The Blade of Condemnation is indeed effective against Magic Cursed Technique and magical artifacts, as its inherent properties allow it to render defenses ineffective.

He can be considered the god of war in the magical world.

However, when facing non-magical creations, the Blade of Condemnation is essentially just a dagger that can't be broken no matter how you try to bend it.

It had no special function, and because the blade couldn't be sharpened, it was even a bit dull when used to cut watermelons; it relied entirely on Ji Yuan's strength to throw bricks.

At this very moment, the Speedster Armor worn by Miss Hell was forged using the most advanced nano-metal smelting technology from the Colossus Company.

Later, it underwent an upgrade through the mechanical civilization's creation of the Nebula Core, and its internal structure was completely assimilated into the star.

Cloud alloy.

In terms of defensive capabilities alone, it has surpassed the technological limits of Earth's civilization; no firearms can penetrate its defenses.

In a flashback of thoughts.

Miss Hell's fourth Black Flash has appeared!

Black Flash - Quadruple Combo!

"Bang!"

The hand blade, covered in dark blue armor and enhanced by Black Flash, pierced straight through Ji Yuan's heart.

There were no obstacles.

This move was named by Miss Hell: Hell Burial Hand Knife.

Gavin, what kind of woman do you like?

In a daze, Ji Yuan's vision turned slightly white.

His thoughts drifted back to when he was fourteen, when someone softly called his other name: Gavin Claudius.

O

As the illegitimate son of one of the earliest Italian magical families, whose lineage can be traced back to the Roman Empire, he possessed no magical talent whatsoever.

The only "advantage" is that Ji Yuan has an extremely strong perception of the Subspace, and can even see familiars, demons, witches, and vengeful spirits that ordinary people cannot see...

In short, it's everything related to the Subspace.

Although his father was the clan chief, he never paid him any attention.

Her mother was merely an Asian lover from the Eastern Continent, without any official status or marriage; Ji Yuan didn't even know what she looked like.

It is said that he was sold to the family for one million dollars to serve as a sparring partner for the eldest son.

Ji Yuan had a deep impression of that period, and it was from this time that his hatred for those self-proclaimed high and mighty magicians was sown.

In his view, even the so-called "saints" were nothing more than humans with slightly more powerful magical abilities.

A person dies once they are killed.

Later, Ji Yuan, wielding the Blade of Condemnation stolen from a Roman church, personally killed the family's most promising member.

Young Master Cai.

But he felt no joy whatsoever.

All that remains is emptiness.

Because he knew that magical families would outlive him; he could slaughter one family, but he couldn't slaughter all the families in the world.

So Ji Yuan came to Taiping Prefecture and became a professional assassin, taking on commissions from the magic world and doing whatever made him happy.

During that time, the only thing that changed him was a woman named Ji Xinyu, a waitress he met at a coffee shop.

They got together a month after they met.

It was simply because Ji Xinyu, dressed in her café uniform, quietly asked him, "Hey, Gavin, what kind of woman do you like?"

Ji Yuan said calmly, "Someone like you."

Ji Xinyu blushed instantly. "But I'm three years older than you! I'm already twenty-one!"

Ji Yuan: "You have more charm than those little brats."

"Get out of here!"

Those were the happiest days of Ji Yuan's life. His code name, Ji Yuan, was also given to him by the other party.

But Ji Xinyu died just three years later.

On his way to buy groceries, he was killed by a magician from the Claudius Family who came seeking revenge on Ji Yuan.

Since then, the Sorcerer Killer named Ji Yuan has completely unleashed his true nature.

"Cough cough..."

Ji Yuan lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of dark black blood, mixed with his internal organs and bits of flesh.

The "Blade of Condemnation" in his hand fell to the ground.

Hell's lips curled into a slight smile as he asked unhurriedly, "I'll show you mercy and give you some time. Do you have any last words?"

Even though he was on the verge of death, Ji Yuan showed no anger whatsoever.

He looked down at the girl's arm through his heart and suddenly felt relieved.

He only said one sentence, "You're probably more suited to be an assassin than I am."

The implication of his words was: Hell really can hide. A Speedster Armor was hidden from beginning to end, and he could even hold back from being bitten by Shadow Wolf. You really are good at enduring.

With that kind of personality, it's a shame she's not an assassin.

Upon seeing its owner injured, the dim-witted Shadow Wolf instantly let out a low growl, revealing its ferocious demonic nature, and charged straight towards Hell.

Click!

Without even raising its head, Hell unleashed a devastating attack that flashed through the air, cleaving the Shadow Wolf in two.

"Awoo!"

The Shadow Wolf was severely injured and instantly forced back into the shadows.

Hell shook his head. "So, it's actually a loyal stray dog."

She pulled the hand blade out of Ji Yuan's body:

[Congratulations, Miss Witch, you have completed another special event: "The Abandoned Land".]

[You have gained: +1 entry upgrade attempt.]

Ji Yuan took two steps back, his expression calm, looking down at the bloodstains on his palm, feeling the rapid passing of life.

o

He wasn't angry that he died at the hands of Hell.

Perhaps it was because he had wanted to die for a long time, but the people in the magic world were too weak, so weak that they didn't even have the right to kill him.

Having figured this out, Ji Yuan sat down against the pile of rubble beside him, tilting his head slightly upward to watch the sunset over the Abandoned Land.

"This is... my end? Heh..."

"Awoo..."

Suddenly, the Shadow Wolf peeked out from the shadow beside Ji Yuan and tugged at his trouser leg.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan rubbed its head and muttered, "Silly dog."

Then, he pointed to Hell: "I'm doomed. From now on, she will be your master."

Hell, who had just retracted his armor, was taken aback. "Me? I haven't agreed yet!"

Ji Yuan grinned. "If you don't take over the owner's authority, you and those two girls will have to live here for the rest of your lives."

"You guys figure it out yourselves. If all else fails, I have two boxes of instant noodles I bought in the clock tower basement."

As for me, I'll take my leave first.

Hell:"..."

He watched as Hell's face suddenly flushed red.

Ji Yuan smiled.

He laughed heartily, more freely than ever before.

It's like a prank you've been holding back your whole life, finally getting played before you die.

Upon hearing this, the Shadow Wolf wagged its tail beside him, its dark eyes staring longingly at Hell. It was truly stupid, and truly a dog.
