Magical girl? There's no going back!

The gap between S-class and A-class is so huge? Or is it simply because Nanamiya Maya is so strong that she can't fight back?

Li Xuan had no time to think about these things at this moment. He used the infinite vitality brought by the feast to fight madly, attacking the angel in front of him that was as hard as a statue.

The effect of the feast made him gradually lose his sanity, and he attacked frantically, completely ignoring his own injuries. His body was injured and healed countless times, and he kept killing until his eyes were full of blood, just like the brightly colored wine at the banquet.

Although the vitality provided by the feast is unlimited, the release is ultimately limited in time. When the effect of the feast ended, a strong little hand pulled Li Xuan.

"Master, let's retreat for now!" The person who caught him was Yao.

Li Xuan wiped the blood off his face and saw the sky full of broken angel statues. Because there were too many of them, many of them had not yet turned into light and dissipated. The battlefield was so large that he looked around, but he could not see any traces of other witches, nor could he see Nanamiya Maya.

"How's the battle going?" Li Xuan asked.

Yao stretched out his index and middle fingers and made a "V" sign.

"we won?"

"It's just the two of us left."

“…No, we have to rescue them!” Li Xuan said as he was about to rush towards where the angels gathered.

"Master! Wake up!" Yao hugged Li Xuan from behind:

"You injured a lot of angels in your violent state just now, but they were all swallowed by the big cat. Black Cat used Liberation to temporarily hold that guy back, but it probably won't last long. Let's run away! If you are caught, there will be no chance to save everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Cheshire Cat broke through the black cat's control and chased after the two of them. Yao drew his two swords without hesitation: "Master, hurry up, I will stop them!"

"Damn it..." Seeing Yao's petite body being swallowed by the Cheshire Cat, Li Xuan knew that he was no match for it now, so he had to endure the pain and escape.

The Cheshire Cat swallowed Yao, but was controlled by her silk thread for a moment. Li Xuan had three speed spells on his body, and this time was enough to create a large distance.

However, even so, he still did not exceed the summoning range of Nanamiya Maya. Every time he tried to teleport, a ray of light would fall from the sky and instantly destroy his portal.

Li Xuan even suspected that the S-level chosen by the Yu Shi Ji was also specifically for him. Not only did it have the ability to summon to fight against his army of monsters, but it also had the ability of the space system to deal with his teleportation.

If one of these two was missing, I wouldn't have been defeated so miserably.

"Monster-san! Don't run! I won't be able to report to my boss if you run away!" Nanamiya Mayo chased after him from behind.

Fortunately, speed is not Maye's strong point, and Li Xuan's speed is relatively high among all the stats. With the blessing of the curse pattern, he is even faster than Maye.

However, due to the existence of teleportation magic, once the distance is too far, Maya will use teleportation to catch up. Li Xuan had to take advantage of the short delay of teleportation magic to change direction, while also dealing with the angels' pursuit and interception. His nerves were always tense, and he dared not relax for a second.

In the intense pursuit, the two had already left Huahe City far behind. The scenery below them gradually changed from land to ocean, and it was unknown how far they had run.

Li Xuan only felt that his evil energy was gradually exhausted and his physical strength was almost at its limit, but Maye was still chasing him relentlessly.

She seemed to see that Li Xuan was almost reaching his limit, so she was not in a hurry, but just chased him slowly. Once she was left too far behind, she would teleport over and continue to consume Li Xuan's energy.

Li Xuan knew very well that he would surely fail if he continued like this, but what could he do now?

The evil energy is almost exhausted, and the ability to teleport has been blocked. Although mental interference can be used, it has been proven that this trick is not very effective against Maya.

When all skills are almost useless, what countermeasures can be used?

Li Xuan was thinking desperately on his way to escape, recalling every detail since Maye's appearance, trying to find weaknesses that could be exploited.

Mayu's fighting style is obviously based on summoning, and the powerful angel army is enough to crush everything. Relying on his own gun-and-shield weapon, he is definitely not a fragile mage who is helpless as long as he gets close to the enemy.

At the same time, she also mastered very convenient space magic, which allowed her to teleport to any place after a short delay. She could even combine magic and summoning into one, automatically summoning an angel as long as her teleportation was detected.

The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that she was strong in all aspects, and there was almost no weakness to be found. Even if he prepared himself to fight her again, he would not have any chance of winning.

Wait, auto-summon?

When he was in deep despair, Li Xuan suddenly had an idea: Since Maye had set up automatic summoning, was it possible for him to take advantage of this mechanism?

The summoning of angels is not without cost, otherwise Maya would not have summoned only a few hundred angels when facing the monster army. Since the current summoning condition is to use the teleportation ability, then...

Thinking of this, Li Xuan tried to open ten portals at once. These portals were only the size of a palm and were usually used when he went to get the wine of joy from the wine cellar. Therefore, the consumption of mental power was much less than that of ordinary portals.

But the summoning mechanism did not let go of these tiny portals. Ten beams of light fell from the sky and destroyed the portals one after another. Because the distance between them was too close, two of the angels even collided with each other, causing a small explosion.

"Are you still trying to escape by teleporting? It's useless to open more portals. The summoning radius of the angel is dozens of kilometers. There's no way you can escape."

A gorgeous magic circle unfolded in front of him, and Nanamiya Maya was quickly teleported out of it.

Chapter 244 Desperate Counterattack

Li Xuan ran away the moment the portal appeared. Maye knew that his energy was seriously overdrawn, so he was not in a hurry to catch up. He just used magic power to lock Li Xuan's position, and waited until he ran far away before teleporting to catch up with him.

Obviously, she planned to tire Li Xuan to exhaustion and then capture him alive. This was the most labor-saving method, but it also gave Li Xuan a chance to counterattack.

When the Nanamiya Maya teleportation array lit up again, Li Xuan did not run away. He watched the formation of the magic array quietly and calculated the time when the opponent would appear according to his own pulse.

"Are you still running away? Surrender quickly. How much does your boss pay you a month? Why are you fighting for him like this?" Nanamiya Maya's voice sounded from the magic circle.

Li Xuan was also very nervous. He knew very little about Nanamiya Maya's summoning magic, and all his inferences were based on a short period of observation. Whether this tactic would succeed was also a gamble for him.

The stakes were his own life.

"I won't run away again."

The moment before Nanamiya Maya appeared from the magic circle, Li Xuan directly opened hundreds of palm-sized portals densely around the magic circle. From a distance, these dark portals looked like a field of black sesame seeds scattered in the sky.

Nanamiya Maya's conditional summoning was very effective. Hundreds of light beams arrived as expected, and hundreds of angels were summoned densely in the space of several cubic meters.

"What's going on???" Nanamiya Maya, who had just shown her head, was shocked. She felt that she was squeezed by something hard, and a large part of her magic power was drained away at once.

"Could it be... an angel?"

From the cold and hard touch, Nanamiya Maya quickly realized what was squeezing her, but it was too late.

The huge magic power in the bodies of hundreds of angels crowded together, collided and blended with each other, quickly causing a violent explosion. A beam of blazing white light that penetrated the sky and the earth appeared on the sea. The aftermath of the explosion alone blew Li Xuan away.

The sea water that came into direct contact with the light column suddenly boiled, and a large amount of water vapor was evaporated into the air, forming a vast layer of clouds. Then heavy rain fell, making the entire sea surface turbulent.

"Oops..."

Seeing the doomsday scene before him that looked like a nuclear bomb explosion, Li Xuan couldn't help but worry that he might have been too harsh. After all, the witch under his command was eaten by the cat she summoned, and now her life or death was unknown.

But the desperate situation just now really didn't give him time to think about these things.

At this moment, the beam of light gradually dimmed, and Li Xuan was surprised to see Nanamiya Maya, holding an umbrella shield, still standing there. Except for her skirt being torn a lot, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin, she was not seriously injured.

"No way? Nothing's wrong?" Li Xuan felt like ten thousand alpacas were roaring through his heart: the aftermath of the explosion just now boiled the entire sea surface, and Nanamiya Maya was at the core of the explosion, but only her clothes exploded. How could he win against such an opponent?

"Very beautiful. I admit that you are qualified to fight with me. To express my respect for you, I decided to do my best to kill you." Maye finally put away his entertaining mentality of playing cat and mouse and switched to a serious expression.

Obviously, being hurt by a "weakling" like Li Xuan was a blow to her self-esteem.

She no longer used fancy magic, but transformed her umbrella shield into a spear and flew straight towards Li Xuan.

At this time, Li Xuan's physical strength, evil energy and spirit were close to the limit. He used his last bit of willpower to summon more than a hundred dense and tiny portals around Maya again.

However, this time, only a dozen angels descended from the sky, and the distance between them seemed to be set: although densely packed, they did not collide with each other, and the position where they descended was just right to destroy all the portals.

"Are you going to use the same trick on me again? I'm telling you, I just modified the summoning conditions. Don't underestimate the magical girl, you bastard!"

Maye let out a delicate cry, and stabbed the spear in her hand directly into Li Xuan's chest. A strong light burst out from the tip of the spear, blowing Li Xuan's body into pieces.

Before he could even feel the pain, Li Xuan's eyes went dark and his consciousness immediately disappeared.

At the same time, upon learning that a fierce battle had taken place over Huahe City, Lilika hurried to the church.

She knew very well that the battle must be aimed at Li Xuan, and that only one person could fight against Li Xuan's entire army like this, which meant that the party participating in the battle must be an S-level magical girl.

In a church known for its inefficiency, there is only one possibility to mobilize S-rank magical girls so quickly: that is a command from the metaphor machine.

At this moment, she felt extremely regretful: not only did she not remind Li Xuan to be more careful, she even mistakenly told him that the Yushiji had not issued any orders recently. If Li Xuan was killed because of these wrong information, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

What she was anxious to know now was Li Xuan's whereabouts.

Lilika rushed into Shen Liang's room and asked about the battle that happened today.

Shen Liang did not hide it and directly told Lilika that Yu Shiji had given a direct order for an S-class magical girl to handle the recent missing persons case.

Lilika slapped Shen Liang's desk with some difficulty controlling her emotions, and asked in an almost interrogative tone: "My Lord Bishop, I don't understand. Since you have received the order from the prophecy machine, why do you hide it from us? Since the church wants to re-investigate the disappearance of the magical girl, it should notify us to investigate together. Directly sending a special envoy, isn't this tantamount to admitting the dereliction of duty of the local church?"

"Ms. Lilika, please calm down. Your concern about this matter is a little bit beyond the normal." Shen Liang changed his usual friendly tone and reminded in a businesslike tone.

"I'm sorry, I was a little excited. I was just thinking about the church. Dispatching S-rank magical girls is not a trivial matter. If it's not handled properly, the aftermath of the battle will destroy the city. At least we should be notified in advance to evacuate civilians, otherwise it would be too dangerous." Lilica knew that she had not controlled her emotions again, so she hurriedly sat down and said some remedial words.

"Ms. Lilika, did you come all the way from Qinghe City just to say this? If you're just going to complain, I think a phone call would be enough, right?" Shen Liang stared into Lilika's eyes. The oppressive feeling brought by being in a high position for a long time made Lilika feel a little afraid.

"I didn't come here on purpose. I had some things to do in Huahe City, so I came here on the way." Lilika said a little nervously.

"Really? Ms. Lilika, when you took the initiative to request to go to Qinghe City to receive the Witch Band, I didn't think there was anything wrong. But when the Witch Band matter was over and you still stayed in Qinghe City, I felt that something was wrong. So I sent someone to do some investigation on you, and the result made me very sad."

As Shen Liang spoke, he took out a thick brown paper bag from the drawer, opened it, opened the documents inside, and spread them out in front of Lilika.

Lilika looked down at the things in the paper bag: a lot of them were chat records between her and Li Xuan, as well as some observation reports and real photos.

It was obvious that the church had long suspected that he was working for Li Xuan, but had not closed the net just to collect intelligence.

"You are a very competent bishop, even better than I thought. You are worthy of being my junior." Lilika was silent for a long time, and suddenly she smiled with relief.

"Senior, I'm sorry for offending you. Next, I'll ask you to go to the archdiocese for investigation. Don't worry, I'll ask someone to take care of Miss Alulu." Shen Liang said gently.

Chapter 245 Reunion on the Cruise Ship

In a narrow and dim space, Li Xuan slowly woke up.

If it weren't for the severe pain all over his body, he would have suspected that he was dead and was lying in a coffin.

In fact, this place was not much different from a coffin. The ceiling above was no more than one meter away from the head. There was a fishy smell in the air and the whole room was shaking. I didn't know where I was.

However, even if the space was smaller, it would not cause any hindrance to Li Xuan, because his body was now completely unable to move, and he could not even raise his head.

His last memory was being stabbed in the chest by Nanamiya Maya, and then being shattered by the light released by the tip of the gun. As for how he survived, and whether he was captured or rescued, he had no idea.

Fortunately, as a monster, he had a certain self-healing ability. Once he regained consciousness, his body began to repair itself. Li Xuan used all the evil energy he had just recovered to repair his body. It took more than an hour before he was barely able to recover to the point where he could move.

Li Xuanqiang endured the severe pain in his body, reached out and lifted the wooden board above his head. What came into view was the azure sky with occasional white clouds floating by and a faint rainbow hanging on the horizon.

Li Xuan got up curiously and found himself on a cruise ship. The place where he had just been lying was the narrow cabin. The fishy smell in the air and the swaying feeling were naturally because the cruise ship was sailing in the sea.

In front of a glass window, Li Xuan saw his own appearance: he was now covered with fatal wounds, looking miserable and unrecognizable.

The big hole in his chest hadn't healed yet, and there were many marks of stitches on his body, like a rag doll pieced together with scraps of cloth.

His clothes were gone and his body was wrapped in strips of stockings, like a mummy that was not completely wrapped.

Li Xuan had a feeling: as long as he untied these stockings, he would fall apart on the spot and turn into a pile of miserable flesh.

Wait, stockings?

A strange expectation suddenly arose in Li Xuan's heart. He stumbled all the way to the front deck and saw a graceful beauty standing there wearing an apron and frying fish in an electric pan.

She had a long ponytail, her legs were wrapped in tight black tights, and she was not wearing shoes, her feet were directly on the deck. There was also a huge canvas bag at her feet, which was bulging with something unknown.

"Li Sijie? Why are you here?" Li Xuan called out the beauty's name in surprise.

"You're awake, Mr. Li - don't move, I spent a lot of effort to sew it up." Li Sijie turned down the heat of the rice cooker, then turned around and looked at Li Xuan with a smile.

"Did you save me? Where have you been these days? I miss you so much!" Li Xuan ignored the pain in his body, rushed over and hugged Li Sijie, burying his head in her soft and great bosom.

Then Li Xuan felt his body lighten, and the lower part of his body suddenly lost support. Fortunately, Li Sijie hugged him around the waist, so he did not slide down.

When Li Xuan looked back, he found that his legs were broken into several pieces because of the few steps he had just run.

"You're still the same as before, risking your life when you see a woman. I've clearly warned you." Li Sijie smiled, gently put Li Xuan on the deck, picked up the scattered legs, put them together again, then took out the needle and thread from the apron pocket and started sewing.

Li Xuan felt a little embarrassed for a moment. After all, it was a very shameful thing to make a fool of oneself in front of a woman, but he also felt fortunate - fortunately, this was in front of Li Sijie, and he didn't have to bite the bullet and show a perfect and powerful posture like he did in front of other witches.

"A lot of things have happened these days, but we can talk about them later. We have plenty of time this time." Li Sijie said softly.

Li Xuan originally had a lot of questions to ask and things to say, but after hearing her gentle words, he suddenly wasn't so anxious anymore.

After Li Sijie sewed up Li Xuan's legs, she took off her apron and folded it into a small pillow to place behind his head. Then she stood up, wiped her hands, and continued to fry the fish fillets with a spatula.

Li Xuan's perspective was just enough to see her figure, which was set against the blue sea and sky, giving it the texture of an oil painting.

However, in this elegant and beautiful painting, Li Sijie skillfully flipped the fish fillet and sprinkled various seasonings on it. The way she held the spatula seemed to tell Li Xuan that she was not an otherworldly fairy, but a woman full of life.

The fish fillets were fried quickly. Li Sijie put them on a plate, cut off a piece with a knife, tasted it, and was satisfied with the taste before she brought it to Li Xuan.

"Although you mean well, it doesn't seem like the right time for me to eat now - my stomach hasn't fully grown yet, so even if I eat, it will just fall out, right?" Li Xuan raised his hand and found that his arm seemed to be about to fall off again.

"Sorry, sorry, it's not a good time to eat now. But when I saw you, I couldn't help but want to make something for you. I felt like you looked very hungry." Li Sijie put the plate aside, sat cross-legged on the deck and laughed.

"Maybe it's because it's you I want to eat." Li Xuan also laughed, but after a few laughs, his wound was affected and he began to cough up blood.

"It's a pity that the magical girl's healing magic can't be used on monsters, but you don't look like you'll die so easily." Li Sijie helped Li Xuan up and let him sit against the wall to avoid choking on his own blood.
