Human World is Like Hell

Chapter 99 Human World is Like Hell

"It's been a while since I've seen you, look at you."

Since Jin Yu's transformation, Qian Huan, who had already gone into hiding again, felt somewhat emotional.

After all, even among magical girls, Jin Yu's transformation is one of the more glamorous ones.

However, before it can fully bloom, it is ultimately just a flashy-looking ant.

But now, she has to command ants to fight against ants.

It remains to be seen which side has more strength.

"It's a pity that something went wrong in Qishan City." Qianhuan sighed softly.

If Zhu Huan successfully transforms into a witch, even if she advances in rank due to becoming a witch, Qian Huan will still have a way to use the protection of "Lin Ye" to obscure the rules of the city within the barrier and transport Zhu Huan over.

After all, Qishan City is a satellite city of Changming City, and the relationship is close. In addition, she also has a piece of Jin Yu's magic power, which gives her a lot of room to maneuver.

Qianhuan glanced at Qiluo beside her. Despite facing a formidable enemy, her gaze kept drifting towards the humans below.

His desire to kill had clearly reached an extreme level.

Although she's seen this kind of scene so many times she's practically calloused, Qianhuan still really hates this kind of beast-like behavior.

It makes it seem like witches are all creatures that follow animalistic instincts.

"Miss Jin is protecting you there, so you can't kill her even if you want to. Finish up the important business first, and if you're still alive, you can kill me as you please."

Qi Luo inwardly despised Qian Huan's empty promises, but still quickly wiped her mouth and replied, "Ah...yes."

Qianhuan stuffed the dagger that had attacked Jinyu earlier into Qiluo's hand, and his figure gradually disappeared into nothingness.

Qiluo was only at the fourth rank, but as a witch, her magic power was elevated to a level almost reaching the fifth rank.

But due to the city's restrictions, they were ultimately unable to take that final step.

Even if Jin Yu, who was fully prepared for battle, had her buffs doubled, she knew she couldn't possibly be her match.

Fortunately... Qi Luo's goal was not to kill Jin Yu, and Jin Yu did not have the strength to exert his full power.

The two exchanged a glance across the distance.

Looking down from a high place is disrespectful.

Before she could even utter a word, Qi Luo's body was slashed by countless golden rays and shattered into pieces.

"How aloof she is!" Qiluo's magic power erupted completely.

Resistance is an even greater crime.

The half-witch was almost completely wiped out, but thanks to the blessing, the remaining bits of flesh restored her to her original state.

Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted, crashing down on Jin Yu.

[Harmful to my body]

Before Qiluo even realized it, the protective power was weakened once again.

"75 more times..."

Qi Luo lowered her body and shot out like lightning, much faster than the fake body left behind in Qishan City.

With the blessing and protection of [Xu Ting] and [Kong Yue], her afterimages almost covered the entire sky above Changming City.

[An eyesore]

pat!

Qi Luo's body transformed into a rain of blood and exploded. One drop of blood, carrying her consciousness, drifted toward Jin Yu.

His figure froze instantly, and the lightning-wrapped claws slammed down.

A five-clawed crack appeared on the ground. Although the attack landed in the city center, buildings in other districts were torn apart as well.

Even with such an attack, it could not advance an inch beyond the white veil in front of Jin Yu, and Jin Yu did not even raise her hand to block it.

Do not bow when in close proximity.

The crown on Jin Yu's head lit up, and golden light swept across Qi Luo, causing her figure to evaporate as if she had never existed.

Immediately afterwards, brown magic enveloped the area where Jin Yu was located, and a vast amount of mental energy invaded her seed of the heart.

Jin Yu's eyes dimmed, the golden light receded, the crown dimmed, and Qi Luo's body appeared out of thin air. The claw that was stabbing at Jin Yu withdrew as if rewinding a tape.

Sweat streamed down Qiluo's face. That attack was terrifying. If she hadn't used the protection of time, she would have been completely obliterated, without even a trace of her filthy magic. She would have been truly dead.

Although her vitality is very strong under the protection, the burden brought by the time protection is much stronger than other protections, so it cannot be used for long.

She hurriedly tried to retreat, but a white blade suddenly appeared in her vision.

*Pfft*

The cracked, grotesque head flew out, and Qiluo's purple eyes reflected her headless body and Jin Yu, whose sword had been drawn at some unknown time.

The silver rapier rose as Jin Yu's arm spun, unleashing a torrent of pure magic.

Most of the dark clouds that had covered the sky were blown away.

Time rewinds once more.

Qi Luo returned to the state she was in before Jin Yu beheaded. This time, she did not escape, but instead activated the protection of [Empty Moon].

The sword, which was originally within arm's reach, seemed to encounter some obstacle and stopped in place, unable to advance even an inch.

Nothing could stop the sword's edge; it simply extended the distance between the sword and Qiluo's neck almost infinitely.

Gaining a brief respite, Qiluo continued her actions. The citizens who were originally being protected on the edge of the city only felt the scene change before their eyes, and they found themselves directly behind Jin Yu.

The once-empty city center was now packed with people!

Although she couldn't see the face beneath the white veil, Qiluo could clearly sense that Jin Yu's killing intent had intensified.

"Oh!"

Qi Luo chuckled, and the protection of [Xu Ting] suddenly intensified.

boom!!

The thunderbolt struck overhead, illuminating the pale faces of the citizens and the magical girl. Fortunately, the lightning did not actually strike; the dim golden magic blocked it all.

Go to hell!

The golden brilliance struck once more.

"Is that so?!"

Qi Luo grinned menacingly, then immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to Jin Yu, the force of which caused the ground to cave in.

Jin Yu's attacks actually weakened a bit when they hit him.

Crimson and silver intertwined on Qiluo's body, and for a moment, lightning continuously struck down in all directions of Changming City.

Meanwhile, Qiluo's body was constantly cracked, peeling off, and then regenerating.

Although man-made lightning strikes do not travel at the speed of light, the distance that lightning travels to the ground is shortened to the extreme.

boom!

boom!

boom!

The golden magic barely managed to block the red lightning before it fell, but it was too much for it to kill Qiluo.

Boom!!

A flash of intense silver light appeared, and the lightning became illusory, actually penetrating the magic wall and finally striking the outskirts of the city.

The sensation of the hit sent a shiver down Qiluo's spine, her face contorting in pain, followed by an uncontrollable flush and trembling.

At that moment, she even forgot that she was facing a life-or-death situation and only wanted to indulge in this indescribable and wonderful pleasure.

Her kowtowing stopped abruptly as the golden light instantly dispersed her body. Qi Luo was resurrected in an instant and continued kowtowing.

She murmured, drooling, "I want...I want more..."

'

""

"Pfft—" A mouthful of blood gushed out uncontrollably, and Qi Luo, who had been beaming with joy, immediately wilted.

Qiluo barely managed to snap out of her ecstasy.

The blessing of [Empty Moon] mainly lies in the "change of distance". Although the change of reality is also an application of spatial ability, it is not what [Empty Moon] is good at.

The combined use of these protective measures now consumes an unbearable amount of energy.

Fortunately, Jin Yu's condition has also declined.

"Couldn't hold on, hehehehehe—" Qi Luo's face was full of cruel laughter.

The white veil in front of Jin Yu had faded a bit; it was originally completely opaque, but now one could vaguely see her eyes.

She has become weaker.

The Bureau of Control named Jin Yu's talent "Royal Power," and its power largely stems from the recognition of others.

Previously, Jin Yu had always been able to protect the citizens, but she failed to defend against that attack just now, causing people's faith in her to waver.

This weakened the power of the monarchy.

A wavering trust weakens strength; conversely, when trust grows to a certain extent, Jin Yu's strength becomes unbelievably powerful.

As long as Jin Yu can withstand the power that comes with this trust.

Although every magical girl aspiring to reach the pinnacle of her powers is eventually intercepted and killed by a witch, few are as highly regarded as Jin Yu.

Because once she reaches full bloom, she can leverage the promotional efforts of the General Administration of Sport to skip the adjustment period after full bloom and even become a standout among those who have achieved full bloom.

Now that Jin Yu's condition has been damaged, the previously suppressed witch factor has become restless, cracks have begun to appear on her face, and her nails have started to grow.

Seeing this, Qiluo smiled even more happily. Even though Jin Yu in front of her was a hero who protected the city, if she ended up in an ugly state, even if she rationally knew to believe Jin Yu, who was a magical girl, her emotions would always waver.

The thunder continued, and although Jin Yu tried to break through the surrounding dark clouds, the source of those clouds was the sixth seat of the Complete Witch, [Xu Ting]. Even though it was only a blessing, it was not something she could completely blow away in her current state.

Boom!

Boom!

Amidst the countless bolts of lightning, silver lightning occasionally mingled in. Each time a silver flash resounded, the white veil on Jin Yu's face thinned a little, until... the white veil fell away.

It revealed a terrifying face covered in cracks.

Too grotesque and inhuman, it embodies almost all the world's cruelty. Just one glance at it is enough to leave an unforgettable impression, and that face will likely become a recurring nightmare.

Many people couldn't hold back their tears. Even though some managed to say "We believe you," the fear of death and the instinctive dread of the monster's face still made them seem very shaken.

The crown fell silent, transforming into a faint golden light that diffused into the air.

Seeing that the [Royal Power] had finally failed, Qi Luo once again roused herself, stood up from the ground, and felt the protection within her body. However, there was not much optimism on her face.

"It still has the life force to be reborn 16 times..."

Jin Yu's talent was broken, but that doesn't mean she lost her strength.

Crimson lightning condensed into a longsword, merging with Qiluo's arm.

She took a deep breath, crossed the distance, and thrust out.

Bang!

It was blocked, but not as if it were isolated by an invisible barrier as before.

"There's a chance!"

Magic bullets, flickering like golden flames, gathered around Jin Yu. Every time Qi Luo appeared, she unleashed unparalleled magical power, causing injury upon contact and death upon grazing.

The flames were like a leech, clinging to her body and would not go out until they had burned her to ashes.

But Qiluo seemed oblivious to the pain and continued to attack Jinyu.

Red lightning flashed across Changming City, but the dark clouds overhead dispersed, revealing not a clear sky, but a true heaven filled with black and yellow dust.

Five scarlet stars stood atop it, each representing a complete witch, all watching over this place through their protection.

Let it bloom in full glory.

Let it bloom in full glory.

Let it bloom in full glory.

The decadent music echoed through Changming City, reaching everyone's ears. Most people didn't understand its meaning, but they vaguely felt that the words were spoken to Jin Yu.

Above the zenith, the scarlet light grew stronger, and the stars seemed to be about to descend.

People's attention was drawn to it, and they stared intently at the sky that had been turned red.

A bright star peeked out from the light, its light not scarlet, but the normal color of a star, and the ray of starlight hanging down from it fell precisely on Jin Yu.

It seems like they're urging us on.

Let it bloom in full glory.

Let it bloom in full glory.

[If I fully unleash my power, I won't be so powerless; I'll be able to save the others and wipe out the witch.]

"Please, bloom to your fullest!" Someone, infected by this seductive music, shouted towards the city center.

The next instant, a deafening chorus of "Full bloom" and "Please save us!" lit up the sky.

Jin Yu's aura became stronger, his reactions became faster, and his magic power became more vigorous. In the blink of an eye, he killed Qi Luo twice.

Taking advantage of this momentum, it might actually be possible to kill this enemy.

But Jin Yu lowered his hand.

The claws began to fade, and her face returned to its flawless state, even more alluring than before.

The starlight grew ever brighter, and faintly, one could see streaks of crimson beginning to permeate its light.

Qi Luo stood still on the outskirts of Changming City, her smile fading as she gripped the short knife Qian Huan had given her.

The situation is clear: once the knife strikes, further stimulating the witch factor within her, Jin Yu will have no strength left to resist becoming a witch.

According to the Second Seat, when the pupils no longer appear purple, the cracks and long claws on the face disappear, and one looks no different from a normal person, it is the symbol of a complete witch.

Ordinary fifth-tier beings, even if they transform into witches, cannot reach full potential. Only those who have reached full potential, or those like Jin Yu, who already possess enough strength to attract the favor of the stars, can directly reach full potential after transforming into witches.

Jin Yu's current state undoubtedly indicates that she is on the verge of losing control, which also means that she has no strength left to fight back.

With a thought flashing through her mind, Qi Luo thrust out her sword. Instead of transforming into lightning, she shortened the distance between herself and Jin Yu to within inches.

call"?!"

The knife missed its mark, and Jin Yu vanished into thin air. He looked around but couldn't find him.

"There are more experts?!"

The stars in the sky were still guiding the way. Jin Yu was in Changming City, but Qi Luo couldn't find her for the time being. She wanted to search for her by the light of the stars, but while it was okay to look indirectly through Jin Yu, when she looked directly at the stars, her two eyes exploded and couldn't recover for a while.

"Miss Jin Yu..."

Yinxi called out in fear.

Jin Yu in front of me had a calm expression and was more beautiful than I had ever seen her before, but she gave off an eerie feeling.

She had only ever felt this way when she was possessed by Jin Feng.

That feeling... that even though the difference between the two is so great that they are not even in the same dimension, the superior still shows no mercy to the inferior.

"You are... Miss Yinxi..."

The distant form of address sent a shiver down Yinxi's spine. Although Jin Yu had been polite before, it was a distant politeness. This politeness, however, gave her the feeling that she wasn't treated as a person, but rather as a cherished object or toy.

"Could things have changed already..." Yinxi felt a chill in her heart.

Even now, she still doesn't understand what's going on. Suddenly someone tried to assassinate Jin Yu, suddenly an entity called "Witch" appeared, and then there was a great battle that was beyond her comprehension, which she couldn't even understand.

She was internally screaming that she wanted to do something, but she clearly felt that the aftershocks of the battle alone could kill her. Apart from Jin Yu and Qi Luo, who were the main characters, it seemed that everyone, even the magical girls, had become props that could be replaced at will, and they couldn't interfere in this drama at all.

Later, the melodious sound of the stars descending directly drew her inside.

She was already in a daze, but somehow, the Seed of the Heart suddenly trembled and jolted her awake.

A feeling as if Wu An's body and mind were connected spread throughout his body, but Wu An was clearly far away in Qishan City.

After that, Yinxi regained her ability to think and realized something was wrong. She quickly used her abilities to temporarily create a space isolated from the outside world.

But in the end... Qi Luo has a spatial protection that is clearly of a higher level than hers, and Yin Xi always felt that even if she hid in this space, it was only a matter of time before she was discovered.

"Yinxi is... what... what was she again?"

Jin Yu tilted her head, touched the corner of her lips with a finger, and looked at Yin Xi with a playful expression.

Meeting Yin Xi's blank gaze, she licked her lips without warning.

Sensing the change in Jin Yu's gaze, Yin Xi's face turned pale, and she collapsed to the ground in fright.

If you're targeted by this monster, is there any chance of survival?

A blush crept onto Jin Yu's face as she reached out to grab Yin Xi, saying, "Miss Yin Xi... could you please give me a..."

"No!" Yin Xi screamed, blurting out, "If you eat me, your son won't have a girlfriend!!!"

Jin Yu paused, her outstretched hand hesitating, and asked in confusion, "Son?"

Her already muddled mind seemed even more confused. She vaguely remembered that she was only nineteen years old. Nineteen and already had a son, and was even dating a girl who didn't look much younger than her...

How old was she when she gave birth to her son?

One question after another popped up, leaving Jin Yu completely stunned. She actually withdrew her hand, rested her chin on the back of her hand, and began to seriously consider the question.

He thought for a full half minute before asking, puzzled, "Who is my son?"

"Mu...Mu Ming..." Yin Xi answered softly, holding her breath, afraid that Jin Yu would revert to her previous state, in which case it would be useless to escape anywhere.

"Ah...it's that little rascal..."

"?" Yin Xi was stunned for a moment. She thought that Mu Ming and Jin Yu had a good relationship, although it was a little distorted because of Jin Yu's quirks.

What's with Jin Yu's gritted teeth?

And... why did it turn back into that ugly appearance?

"Hahahahahahaha"

A series of loud, shrill laughs broke the silence between the two, and Yin Xi looked toward the direction of the sound with an ugly expression.

But Qiluo was seen lying on the ground like a wild dog, her limbs flailing about, rolling around, using her hands and mouth, blood splattering everywhere.

He was clearly so ecstatic that he was oblivious to the world around him.

He no longer resembled a human being; he was clearly a mad beast.

"Gulp—Ugh!!"

When Yin Xi saw what Qi Luo was rolling around and cheering in, he couldn't help but vomit.

Although she had seen more dead people today than she had ever seen in her entire life, the chaotic and brutal scene of slaughter, more horrific than a slaughterhouse, still pushed her to her breaking point.

Is there anything more blasphemous in the world?

"Aaaaaah!!"

The sounds seemed to return all of a sudden, but it was better if they hadn't; everywhere there were people crying and screaming.

It wasn't the already wildly excited Kira who slaughtered them, but... but... the magical girls who had initially tried to muster the courage to protect them—almost without exception, they had all been transformed into witches, but appeared to have no intelligence... Only the magical girls in their blooming stage and those at the fourth rank could barely maintain their minds, but even they were gradually undergoing strange changes.

The world is like a prison... No matter what, the people of Changming City could not have imagined this description an hour ago.

Yin Xi reluctantly wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth, but froze when she saw her hands: "Ah..."

My fingernails have gotten so long... I don't know when they started.

Along with that, an impulse rose in my heart... I wanted to pounce down and join the hunt below.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Yinxi let out a few painful cries, closed her eyes, and held her heart flower in her hands.

That person's face keeps appearing in my mind...

"Wu An... Wu An... my... you... please don't come!"
