Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Nightglow 2010 version
"Good!"
A broad smile spread across the distressed face of the white-haired man. The temperature of the Judgement of Shamash seemed to intensify with his mood, and his attacks became sharper, suppressing the Herrscher of the Void into a desperate retreat.
Yes, retreating.
The Honkai energy previously absorbed by the Herrscher of the Void had been depleted in the failed teleportation channel. Although the remaining energy was still considerable, facing an S-class powerhouse like Siegfried proved futile.
"If only I had a little more time... it wouldn't have ended up like this..."
The Herrscher of the Void spoke with a resentful tone.
Siegfried understood the Herrscher's implication. She too desired to withdraw from the battle and regroup. Immediately, she stared back sharply, "You won't get another chance!"
With that declaration, the white-haired man merged the two divine keys in his hand into one. Flames surged, and the fiery red blade of the Cleaver of Shamash materialized in his grasp.
The moment the Herrscher of the Void beheld this sword, phantom pains bathed in flames surged from the depths of her memory, causing her body to tremble involuntarily.
As Siegfried's tactics shifted with the transformation of the key of destruction in his hand, he exerted force under his feet, swiftly closing the distance to the Herrscher of the Void.
The Herrscher attempted to use Honkai energy to teleport, trying to escape Siegfried's attack range, but was intercepted by the white-haired man swinging the Cleaver of Shamash in an utterly unreasonable manner, severing the gathering energy.
Siegfried's beast-like intuition played a crucial role in the battle. He darted left and right, seemingly swinging his sword aimlessly, but actually disrupting the energy gathered by the Herrscher of the Void, thwarting all her attempts to alter the situation!
Meanwhile, Ragnar assisted from the side. While Siegfried dealt with the energy gathered by the Herrscher of the Void, Ragnar executed suppressive attacks against her to prevent her from finding an opportunity to escape.
The Assault Team captain wielded her heavy sword into a green shadow.
In the bewildered eyes of the Herrscher of the Void, Ragnar effortlessly deflected two spears aimed at her - she even mastered the skill of deflecting the Herrscher's attacks!
"Damn it! Damn you all! You're all liars! Liars!!!"
The Herrscher of the Void's emotional fluctuations became more pronounced. Seizing this opportunity, the blue light in her eyes briefly dominated the golden crosshairs.
She futilely projected Subspace Lance, only to watch her attacks being deflected or shattered by two individuals, causing the Honkai energy stored in her body to rapidly decline. It was estimated that it would completely fail in a few minutes.
The Herrscher of the Void gasped hurriedly.
She looked around, and the chaotic rifts divided the battlefield. On one side was the battlefield of three high-end forces, and on the other side was the battleground of the Valkyrie Vanguard Team and countless Honkai beasts.
Luo Lin discarded her rifle, which had turned red and could no longer shoot, and drew two pistols, continuing to fight behind the Valkyrie team.
She even felt that her arms didn't belong to her anymore, mechanically firing her fingers, eliminating the enemies in her sight.
Of course, the Herrscher of the Void noticed this unusual Valkyrie and the familiar aura on her - she was the traveler who claimed to be a painter in the town.
"So, you're a Valkyrie?"
The Herrscher of the Void hadn't noticed Luo Lin before. At that time, she was proud and didn't care about the ants below. Now seeing the Valkyrie fighting vigorously, the Herrscher's mind churned, and an idea emerged.
The next moment, the Herrscher of the Void voluntarily activated the phasing state and flew towards the out-of-control rift!
"Trying to escape?"
Siegfried didn't think the swirling rift, crackling with lightning tornadoes, was a good place. There were even some peculiar-looking Shadows spilling out from it - each one had a deep blue body shimmering with strange light, with a core that even a discerning person could see was their weak spot.
Quantum Shadows!
Luo Lin naturally recognized what these creatures were. The space torn apart by the Herrscher of the Void seemed to lead directly to the Sea of Quanta. When these Quantum Shadows saw the entrance to the real world, they rushed in one after another.
Quantum Shadows faced off against Honkai beasts, engaging in battle without hesitation!
Although this situation slightly alleviated the Valkyries' predicament, they soon found that these Quantum Shadows also included them in their attack range.
These elusive creatures flashed around the battlefield, Quantum cubes and elongated bars flew around, colliding with the spheres and shockwaves thrown by the Honkai beasts, making the already chaotic scene even worse.
At this moment, Luo Lin noticed the Herrscher of the Void's action of phasing towards the out-of-control rift, and she became nervous.
"Are you trying to escape to another world..."
Even if the Herrscher of the Void maintained the phasing state, the out-of-control spatial rifts could still directly harm her. With small wounds carved on her body from forcibly passing through the rifts, Luo Lin arrived on the other side of the battlefield!
"Not good!"
Siegfried and Ragnar didn't have the ability to cross space rifts like that. They had to bypass this dangerous area to continue their pursuit, giving the Herrscher of the Void a brief moment of respite.
The Herrscher calmly manipulated the Honkai energy, teleporting herself to Luo Lin's side!
Luo Lin reacted instantly. She swept her dual pistols, aiming at the Herrscher of the Void who was close to her.
However, the Herrscher's reaction was unexpected. Disregarding everything, she directly punched Luo Lin in the face.
The impact made Luo Lin's vision black, but at the same time, the bullets from her pistols hit the Herrscher of the Void.
Purple light flickered, and the temporary barrier of Honkai energy shattered after blocking the bullets, but the Herrscher still received a considerable impact.
With a muffled grunt, the Herrscher of the Void, enduring the chaos caused by Kiana's fierce resistance in her mind, summoned a Subspace Lance and pierced through Luo Lin's shoulder, pinning her in mid-air.
"Don't bother me, little bug! If you behave, I won't kill her! Otherwise..."
The second Subspace Lance pressed against Luo Lin's chest, and the Herrscher of the Void covered her cyan right eye, panting.
"Kiana..."
Luo Lin seemed to understand what the Herrscher wanted to do. She intended to use herself to threaten Kiana's consciousness, forcing her to give up resistance.
Apparently, this threat was quite effective against Kiana. The Herrscher of the Void gradually straightened up, and the blue light in her eyes slowly faded...
So easy to deceive. As long as I suppress you, I'll kill them all!
The Herrscher of the Void thought she had seized victory, but she found that Luo Lin, hanging in mid-air, showed a smile.
"I was still worried about how to get close to you..."
The black-and-gold box fell from the Valkyrie's hand, and after sensing the energy fluctuations of the Herrscher, it trembled violently.
The red electric shockwave burst out from it as the center - The Scepter of Duat!
"?!"
The Herrscher of the Void's face showed substantive panic. She found that her authority was severely disturbed. The Honkai energy flow that was once as easy as lifting a finger gradually became obscure, and the imaginary space that could be easily sensed was also covered with a layer of mist.
"What did you do?!"
The Herrscher of the Void pushed Luo Lin away, and the Subspace Lance that had been stuck in the Valkyrie's shoulder shattered and disappeared, reverting to Honkai energy, dissipating into the air.
The Herrscher looked at the scepter still releasing electric currents on the ground and summoned a white ribbon, whipping it towards the device like a whip.
"Clang!"
Luo Lin stood up, ignoring the injury on her shoulder. She wielded the soulium short swords in her hands and slashed the Herrscher of the Void's ribbon into two pieces.
"Kiana, hold on!"
She rushed towards the small figure, the Soulium Short Swords turning into black shadows, and the Edge of Taixuan stirred unprecedentedly. The Honkai energy around Luo Lin attached to the blade under her control, and her solid sword moves knocked down and intercepted the increasingly frantic attacks of the Herrscher.
The binding and weakening effects of the Scepter of Duat grew stronger with time, and the Herrscher of the Void's attacks gradually became powerless. Desperately, she drew out an Subspace Lance, intending to confront Luo Lin head-on.
But Luo Lin easily shattered her fantasy. With a single vertical sword slash, she shattered the tip of the Subspace Lance. The Herrscher of the Void retreated in embarrassment and sat down on the ground.
Luo Lin wasn't feeling well either. The hole stabbed in her shoulder wouldn't stop bleeding, soaking her combat uniform, and then became sticky and black due to the low temperature. She lost a lot of blood, causing her vision to blur, and she could hardly hold the hilt of her sword.
But it wasn't over yet...
Luo Lin knelt beside the Herrscher of the Void, and countless familiar-style needle injectors from the Honkai 3 players pressed against the girl's neck.
"Sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up..."
"Damn...?"
The azure anti-Honkai energy serum was injected into the Herrscher's body. Even if she struggled, she couldn't resist as her consciousness gradually sank.
"Oh god, I don't... want... to..."
She lowered her head and fell silent.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations on achieving the achievement: Last Lesson]
[Last Lesson: Defeat the Herrscher of the Void using the anti-Honkai energy serum.]
Luo Lin looked at the gold-bottomed achievement badge, and flames wrapped around the familiar injector, underneath which was still a line of small words:
"Hope is always with you and me."
[Achievement Reward: S-level Valkyrie character card "Vermillion Knight - Eclipse", "Valkyrie" activated.]
Just then, a gray figure with a marble-like glow suddenly appeared beside the Valkyrie.
Luo Lin completely did not feel how the other party appeared, as if in the blink of an eye, the other party stood in front of her.
He or she was both male and female, both adult and child, both saint and prisoner.
He or she stood there calmly, and everything around him or her quieted down.
Luo Lin looked around and found that the wind was no longer blowing, the lightning was frozen in mid-air, and the flames turned into exquisite stills...
Everything was paused.
Luo Lin thought of something and froze in place.
".....Will of Honkai?"
That figure gradually twisted and changed, turning into... another Luo Lin.
"Outsider, you're interesting," he or she said.
"The trees and the sea are both watching you."
