It was nighttime.

"Ugh …"

Rowan slowly opened his eyes as he regained his consciousness from the chaos.

"I actually dreamt of the promised scene with the old man … Damn it, he sent me a message in my dreams …"

Rowan muttered in his mind as he slowly sat up.

After he calmed down, the memory of the deathmatch with the giant bear rushed into his mind. Rowan instinctively tightened his muscles, got up from the ground, and summoned Broken Demon.

"Huh?"

Rowan's expression froze as he felt something. He looked down at his own body.

Although his clothes were tattered and stained with dust and blood, his body was not injured at all. He did not feel any pain at all.

"Yo, you're awake."

A calm female voice was heard.

Rowan looked up and saw a black-haired woman sitting on a rock with a cigarette in her mouth. In front of her was a platform that looked like an induction cooker from his previous life. It looked very high-tech.

An iron pot was placed on the platform. Various meat dishes were being cooked inside. It was a typical stew.

Next to the platform was a small box that glowed. It was used as a light source.

The surroundings looked like they were in a cave.

"Gurgle gurgle …"

The soup in the pot bubbled and the aroma reached Rowan's nose.

"Gurgle ~"

This time, Rowan's stomach growled.

He had not eaten for more than ten hours after the intense battle. He was already hungry.

"You …"

"Let's cut to the chase. This morning, you killed that bear and you were on the verge of death. I saved you, and I still need your help, so I brought you with me. That's all."

The black-haired woman was like a provincial assistant. She explained the situation in one sentence and saved a lot of complicated conversations such as "Who are you?", "Why am I here?", "Did you save me?", and so on.

Rowan was stunned for a moment. His mouth twitched.

Simple, straightforward, and straightforward.

Not bad, very good.

"Let me ask you first. What do you mean by my help?"

Rowan had lived three lives. He was a person who accepted reality easily. He quickly understood the situation and naturally followed the black-haired woman's words.

"Don't worry, it's within your ability. If you don't agree, I'll kill you."

The black-haired woman threatened him with a calm expression.

Rowan: "… What if it's beyond my ability?"

"Then work hard for me, or I'll kill you."

Rowan was speechless.

He always felt that this kind of forced conversation was a little deja vu.

Rowan thought for a while and connected the dots with the characteristics of the current scene. Then, he immediately came up with an answer.

Wasn't that the catchphrase of Yami, the real male lead in some four-leaf clover?!

Good heavens, I now have another buff after my competitor and anti-magic buff.

"Um … How should I address you?"

"Ye Jian. Ye as in leaves. See as in see."

"…"

It was a homonym!

"Hello, I'm Rowan."

"Oh."

Ye Jian answered casually and stirred the contents in the pot with a spoon. Then, he took out two pairs of chopsticks and filled a bowl for himself.

"If you want to eat, pack it yourself."

"Thank you."

Rowan did not hold back. He put away Broken Demon and scooped up a bowl of soup. He then sat on the ground and became a glutton.

After finishing everything in the pot, Rowan was barely half full.

Rowan, who had not eaten normal food for a few days, licked his lips. He was still unsatisfied.

"Oh right, here's your stuff."

Ye Jian touched his waist and took out Rowan's luggage from somewhere. He casually tossed it to Rowan.

Rowan caught the luggage and opened it to take a look at the contents.

Very good, it was not damaged.

There was something important inside, he could not afford to lose it.

Rowan took out the jerky from the luggage. He did not mind the taste and started to dry it to fill his half-full stomach.

"Hmm … Is your belt a Storage Space Equipment?"

Rowan asked as he gnawed on the jerky.

When he saw Ye Jian take out the luggage from his waist, Rowan immediately thought of this.

"Mhmm."

Ye Jian took out a box of toothpicks from his Storage Space and poured one out to pick his teeth.

That action was not related to the word "virtuous" at all. It was more like an uncle wearing the skin of a beautiful woman.

"You're from a big city?"

"Dawn City."

"The capital of the Federation …"

No wonder he could take out a high-tech item similar to an "induction cooker".

After all, this was a world with cyberpunk elements. As the capital of the Federation, Dawn City must be very prosperous. Magic technology was probably everywhere in the city. It was much more advanced than the villages at the border that still used flint and firewood to cook.

Rowan glanced at the cloak on Ye Jian's shoulder.

A black cloak with a pattern … The sense of déjà vu increased.

"Let me ask you first. Are you good at Dark Magic?"

"No, why are you asking?"

"Nothing."

It was good that it was not. Otherwise, Rowan would not be able to handle the stacking buffs.

After Ye Jian finished picking his teeth, he took out a box of cigarettes from his Storage Space. He skillfully pushed out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. Then, he stretched out a finger.

"Phew …"

A black flame appeared on his finger.

The black flame did not touch the smoke. Instead, it moved away from it.

The smoke was spontaneously ignited by the high temperature around the flame.

Rowan: "… This is your magic?"

"Awakened, Black Flame trait, good at Fire Magic. The temperature of the Black Flame is much higher than normal flames, and it is extremely difficult for people other than me to extinguish it."

Ye Jian gave a simple summary. It was to let his partner understand his ability, so that future cooperation would be more convenient.

Rowan: "…"

Although it was not Dark Magic, it was all black. It was so familiar!

"It doesn't have any magic. It's the Magic Cutter Sword, able to disrupt magic, eliminate magic, and reflect magic."

Rowan also introduced his own abilities.

This Ye Jian must have seen his deathmatch. He must have seen the power of the Magic Cutter Sword, or else he wouldn't specifically ask for his help.

"I know."

Ye Jian said. Then his eyes turned serious as he looked at Rowan with a hint of curiosity.

"Let me ask you a question."

"Go ahead."

"Are you a human?"

“???”

"Ah, sorry, I said it wrong."

"It's, it's okay …"

"Correct the question. Are you a living being?"

"…"

Rowan was silent.

If he didn't roughly guess what Ye Jian meant, he would have suspected that Ye Jian was scolding him.

"There isn't even a trace of magic … This isn't something a normal creature should have."

Ye Jian exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said calmly.

"Are you the kind of tragic person who was plotted against and drank a drug that can destroy your soul and reduce your magic affinity to 'zero'?

Or are you not a living being from Earth, but an alien? "

Rowan was speechless.

You guessed it right, it's the latter.

Although it's all Earth, the Earth of another world is no different from an alien planet.

Rowan said helplessly, "I'm an Earthling. I didn't drink any drug. I was born without magic."

Ye Jian looked at Rowan's expression. It didn't seem like he was talking.

— — Of course, he wasn't lying.

The Earth of another world is still Earth!

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to ask about your secret. Let's talk about business first."

Ye Jian waved his hand lazily.

"What do you want me to help you with?" Rowan asked.

Ye Jian pointed at the pattern on his cloak with his thumb.

"Let me formally introduce myself first. The Dawn Federation is a special operation group established by the current president, Homaton Josik. We take direct orders from the president and are responsible for the safety and stability of the Federation. We secretly eliminate everything that will cause harm to the Federation."

"I'm the leader of the 'Dawn Group', one of the five major special operation groups. The pattern on my cloak is the group emblem. You can call me Leader Ye Jian."

"Leader …"

Rowan suddenly felt like he had countless points to complain about.

[Buff Stacks + 1.jpg]

"I think I'll just call you 'Commander Ye'. 'Commander Ye' gives me a bad feeling."

"What sense of déjà vu?"

"To put it simply, it will remind you of a sloppy uncle who takes a long time to shit but is inexplicably handsome when he's doing business."

"Wah wah … so disgusting, you should just call me Commander Ye."

The two of them reached a consensus for the first time.

"Alright, let's get back to the topic."

Ye Jian shook the ashes off his cigarette.

"I'm currently hunting down a cult's bishop, but due to an accident, I've lost most of my magic power. I won't be able to recover in a short time."

"I used to be able to beat up that heretic bishop with one finger, but now I can only barely gain the upper hand. He escaped after I crippled one of his arms."

With the cigarette in his mouth, Ye Jian put away the "induction cooker." Then, he took out a book with a black cover from his inventory and began to flip through the pages.

"That guy uses the same fire magic as me, and he's also an Awakened. His special trait is called Blood Flame … Found it."

Stopping at a certain page, Ye Jian tore off the page and aimed the magic circle at the bowl and chopsticks.

A white magic circle appeared in front of the paper.

As the circle flashed, the bowl and chopsticks were instantly cleaned up.

— — normal cleaning magic.

After the magic ended, the paper automatically turned to ash.

Rowan curiously looked at this and asked: "What's the Blood Flame special trait for?"

Ye Jian put the bowl and chopsticks back into his inventory. "It can make the burned person quickly lose their physical energy and preserve that energy to heal their wounds, or make the Blood Flame endless"

"After being touched by the Blood Flame, before being burned to ash, they'll first become a dried corpse due to losing a lot of physical energy"

Using a fantasy novel's description, it'll steal blood essence!

Rowan immediately understood the Blood Flame special trait.

"My black flame can suppress the Blood Flame, so you don't have to worry about being touched by the Blood Flame in battle. Furthermore, you have that sword of yours that can disrupt the Blood Flame magic … Let me ask you, what level of magic can that broken sword of yours work on?"

"It's called Demon Cutter" Rowan corrected him.

"If you're worried, you can give it a try."

Rowan summoned Demon Cutter and stuck it into the ground.

"Hah?

Then don't blame me if you break it. "

Ye Jian glanced at Demon Cutter, stood up, and mercilessly raised his right hand. Black flame ignited in his hand and formed a hand blade.

His feet spread apart, he leaned to the right, his left hand in front of him, and his right hand formed a hand blade.

"Black Flame magic, [Extreme Flame – Black Flash]!"

The huge amount of magic made Rowan, who couldn't sense any magic, feel suffocated.

Ye Jian's hand blade viciously stabbed towards the spine of Demon Cutter.

After extending his arm to its maximum length, a black beam of light shot out from the tip of his finger, instantly striking Broken Demon.

But nothing happened.

"Tsk — —!

Something's up, my Black Flash has no effect at all. "

Ye Jian was a bit surprised.

"… Umm, let me ask you a question."

Rowan suddenly said.

Just now, Ye Jian's burst of aura made him notice a blind spot.

"What is it?"

"What level is that cult bishop?"

"A high level Archmage."

The fourth rank …

"Let me ask you, you said you're able to gain the upper hand even after losing half of your magic, what level were you originally?"

"Low-level Archmage, why?"

Rowan was speechless.

'F * ck!
