Chapter 61 is quite dangerous, the Third Herrscher.
Chapter 61 is quite dangerous, the Third Herrscher.
Bronya had never faced such an opponent before.
Her floating cannons exploded around Durandal, beams of light raining down, but none of them could touch her body.
Durandal strolled leisurely amidst the attacks from the floating cannons, showing no sign of panic.
Attacks that were powerful enough to tear apart the shells of Honkai Beasts were like fallen leaves scattered by the wind in front of her.
Bronya gritted her teeth, and more floating cannons condensed in the void.
She was sweating, breathing heavily, and the power of the Herrscher of Reason was surging within her, but she felt as if her power was hitting a wall.
Whether she could even get through was a question, because the opponent didn't give her a chance to hit at all.
Durandal finally moved.
She took a step, and Bronya's pupils contracted sharply.
The tip of the Black Abyss White Flower spear appeared in Bronya's line of sight, piercing towards her Heavy Bunny Armor.
Bronya didn't feel the impact, but she and her heavy bunny were thrown backward, tumbling several times in the air before barely managing to regain her balance.
She looked up, and Durandal was standing in the same spot, exactly where she had been before.
"...Is the difference really that big?"
Bronya's voice was very soft, and her tone remained unchanged.
But she has already realized how big the gap is between herself and the other person.
Durandal did not answer.
Her gaze was as calm as a stagnant pool, the black abyss white flower hanging quietly in her hand, the tip of the spear untouched by a speck of dust.
Bronya knew that the other party was not using their full strength.
Because there was no need to make her use her full strength.
Bronya's hands were trembling.
Her body had reached its limit.
She had only recently obtained the core of the Herrscher of Reason and had not yet fully mastered its power; each time she constructed a floating cannon, it drained her energy.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. Durandal's attack wasn't particularly forceful; it was an injury caused by the backlash from the Herrscher's core.
Bronya rushed forward again.
This time she didn't use the floating cannons. The armor of the Heavy Bunny unfolded beside her, and she transformed into a blue light, crashing straight into Durandal.
Durandal dodged to the side, turned the gun horizontally, and with a light tap, Bronya's momentum was neutralized, and she was instantly thrown away.
Bronya tumbled in the air, and Heavy Bunny quickly changed form to stabilize her, but she still stumbled a step when she landed.
Durandal looked at her.
"You still want to fight?"
Bronya looked up.
There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and her bangs were stuck to her face with sweat. She was breathing rapidly, like a bellows, but her eyes did not look away.
Bronya's mission is to stall you.
"As long as you're still standing here, Bronya hasn't lost."
Durandal remained silent for a moment.
She didn't speak, but raised the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand, pointing the tip of the gun at Bronya.
That look in her eyes seemed to be asking a question, or perhaps waiting for her next attack.
Meanwhile, at the Destiny Headquarters Energy Zone.
Himeko's greatsword struck the protective shield of the energy pipeline, sparks flying everywhere.
Her breathing was heavy, and sweat streamed down her face, dripping onto the scalding hot sword and making a sizzling sound.
"Mei, over here!"
Himeko's voice came from ahead, and Mei followed behind her, purple lightning crackling in her katana.
She had just woken up and her body had not fully recovered, but she gritted her teeth and kept up with Himeko's pace.
There are fewer Honkai Beasts in the Energy Zone than outside, but each one is stronger.
Himeko swung her greatsword down, cleaving a Honkai Beast in two.
She didn't stop. With a turn of her foot, she swept her sword horizontally, slicing another Honkai Beast that pounced at her waist.
"How much is left?"
Mei, panting, her katana flashing with lightning, repelled a Honkai Beast that came from the side, then turned to look at Himeko.
"Soon."
Himeko looked up at the control room at the end of the energy pipeline. "I hope Dr. Tesla can resolve this quickly, otherwise we'll both collapse here."
Mei gritted her teeth and mobilized even more of the Herrscher of Thunder's power.
Himeko-sensei is clearly not in good condition right now, and she will have to rely on herself more from now on.
Kiana, wait for me!
Just then, footsteps came from behind.
Mei turned around abruptly and saw Rita standing not far behind them, holding a scythe in her hand and wearing that unchanging smile on her face.
"Thank you both for your hard work."
Her voice was very gentle, as if she were entertaining a guest.
"However, let's stop here."
Himeko didn't speak; she shouldered her greatsword and stood in front of Mei.
"Looks like a formidable fellow has arrived."
As soon as Himeko finished speaking, Rita's figure vanished from the spot.
The next second, the blade of the scythe appeared beside Himeko.
The moment the blade appeared beside her, Himeko reacted instantly, dodging to the side and then swinging her greatsword across Rita with a powerful thrust of her arms.
Seeing that her attack had failed, Rita leaned back to dodge and landed slowly on the ground, her movements as light as a feather.
After seeing her opponent dodge, Himeko sneered and said, "So, ambushing is your specialty?"
Rita smiled gracefully but did not answer.
In the blink of an eye, her blade reappeared in Himeko's sight.
The two figures clashed in the control room, scythes and greatswords collided, sparks flying.
Himeko's every attack was accompanied by a whooshing sound, while Rita's dodges were unhurried and effortless.
It's perfectly clear that Rita is just draining Himeko's energy.
Himeko's breathing became heavier and heavier, and her movements began to slow down.
She sensed this and felt anxious.
My body can no longer keep up with such a huge amount of exertion.
Rita's scythe grazed Himeko's shoulder, splattering blood and leaving a bloody gash on Himeko's shoulder.
Himeko gritted her teeth and swung her greatsword down fiercely. Rita, seeing this, stepped back with her toes touching the ground, easily dodging the attack.
"Himeko-sensei!"
"Don't come any closer!"
Himeko shouted.
But Mei had already moved. Purple lightning exploded in her hand, and the power of the Herrscher of Thunder transformed into a beam of light that blasted straight toward Rita.
Rita didn't dodge. She stretched out her hand and spun the scythe in front of her, blocking the lightning and splashing it onto the surrounding walls, leaving charred marks.
Feeling this power, Rita looked down at her hand holding the scythe, which was trembling slightly.
She turned to look at Raiden Mei, her face still showing admiration.
"As expected of the dangerous Third Herrscher..."
