Low Damage, Maximum Insult (cont.)

Yuno can evade, then now that the barrier has completely shattered and Yuno is unable to quickly recreate the barrier, she is clearly at her weakest.

Of course, even Yuno is weak, she is still a genuine Herrscher, and her powers and Honkai Energy will not disappear or decrease because the barrier is broken.

But the enemy has already shown a weakness, and if he doesn't pursue them, the hard-won opportunity will be lost. If Lin Yu were to die because of this, he felt he would die with regrets.

After Yuno realized that her flesh and blood were being evaporated, Lin Yu appeared in front of Yuno and punched Yuno directly.

"Hai Hu - Explosive Fist!"

Lin Yu struck Yuno, causing both magic power and Honkai Energy to explode simultaneously within Yuno body.

Although Lin Yu could see that the wounds on Yuno the explosion were being rapidly repaired by the power of creation, Lin Yu was already very satisfied with the results achieved.

If Yuno is still in the same "I think I'm fine" state, then facing a Yuno who is unaware that she is being guided Yuno the Honkai God and whose mind is reasonably normal during battle, Lin Yu feels that the other party will not give him the chance to charge up and unleash the Light Kill Cannon.

Even now, Lin Yu's tactical plans have not changed much.

It would be great to win against the opponent, but the problem is that the difficulty level is too high.

Rather than daydreaming, he felt that his most important task was to stall Yuno as much as possible while ensuring his own safety and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Now, after Lin Yu started punching Yuno, an undisguised look of hatred finally appeared in Yuno's eyes.

"Human, you have angered me!"

"Oh, so you're finally not pretending anymore, huh?"

Seeing the Herrscher in front of him begin to directly gather his power, Lin Yu did not hesitate to unleash his Explosive Fist again, and punched the opponent in the abdomen.

"I don't know if my guess is correct."

"However, whether you have merged with Yuno's normal personality or are hiding inside her body, it doesn't affect what I'm going to do next."

The Herrscher, struck by the Explosive Fist once again, not only had her ability to activate her powers interrupted by Lin Yu, but the explosive nature of the Explosive Fist also aggravated her already unhealed injuries.

In this situation, the resentment in the Herrscher's heart obviously became even more intense.

Lin Yu's guess was correct.

After the core of the Tranquility Gem entered Yuno's body, Yuno's personality and the Herrscher's personality did indeed merge.

That's why Yuno, without wanting to harm Lin Yu or other innocent civilians, unconsciously acted according to the Honkai's judgment.

Before Lin Yu launched into his verbal attack, He would certainly have thought that the girl, as Yuno's side, was more suitable to wreak havoc than the Herrscher of Death side, who lacked tactical thinking and the ability to flexibly utilize her powers.

But now, because Lin Yu has revealed the truth that Yuno didn't want to face, Yuno was originally so aggressive, has become withdrawn.

She does want revenge, that's true, but that doesn't mean she's willing to be manipulated by the Honkai.

After Yuno's consciousness faded, the Herrscher of Death could only be pushed out by the Will of Honkai to control this body.

As the chosen apostle of the Honkai God, the Herrscher of Death side of the girl's personality is much stronger than the side of Yuno's own personality in terms of the speed of power gathering and the intensity of Honkai Energy.

But—all of this was achieved through using one's brain.

If it were Yuno, Lin Yu was certain that the comrade who could hold off a powerful enemy while constantly thinking of countermeasures had definitely already begun to use the powers of the Herrscher of Death and the Herrscher of Poison to take action.

But now, the Herrscher of Death, who had taken two Explosive Fist, could only look on with impotent rage after being beaten.

Lin Yu's Explosive Fist seemed to cause her a lot of damage, but in reality, thanks to the power of Authority of Creation, the wounds were already mostly healed the moment blood started gushing from her body.

To put it simply, Lin Yu's two punches may have severely injured the Herrscher of Death, but in reality, the damage caused by those two punches was probably only slightly better than scraping.

However, while these wounds did not cause significant physical harm, they were extremely humiliating.

Damn it, I'm not like that weak Lei—how could I possibly lose to this man!

Ultimately, combat boils down to ability and the strength of Honkai Energy, and I have a huge advantage in both of these aspects.

How could I possibly lose to him under these circumstances!

"Heh, looks like you're still not convinced."

At this moment, seeing the girl bleeding profusely from her body, a magically woven energy net suddenly appeared on Lin Yu's right hand.

"Varied--"

After tossing the energy net in his hand toward the Herrscher of Death, who had finally managed to stand firm, Lin Yu revealed a disdainful sneer and pointed to his temple with his left hand.

"When it comes to combat, this is where it really comes in."

However, the Herrscher of Death, who was being mocked by Lin Yu, no longer had time to be angry.

Although she had no idea what this energy, which was different from Honkai Energy, was, it didn't stop her from sensing that this energy network was dangerous!

Get out of the way!

You must get out of the way!

With this thought in mind, the Herrscher of Death began to try to retreat incessantly.

Then, her body bumped into something in the empty battlefield and was forced to stop.

Although the Herrscher of Death managed to break through the object with the Withering Black Mist after a brief pause, she was still unable to avoid the energy net thrown out by Lin Yu after being forced to distract herself.

The moment she came into contact with the energy network, the Herrscher of Death felt that the intensity of her energy and her Herrscher Authority had been slightly weakened.

Moreover, at the same time, this energy net covered her body and became a restraint, directly knocking her to the ground.

Sensing that the energy intensity within her body was still decreasing, the Herrscher of Death began to desperately release black mist.

Having been beaten up until now, even if she's still a complete novice, she's realized that the Withering Black Mist is not only a weapon, but also a piece of armor.

This black mist, which causes any other organism to be continuously and chaotically decomposed and eventually annihilated upon contact, is something no one would normally want to come into contact with.

In other words, as long as the black mist is released in a very large quantity, even this terrifying man shouldn't be able to...

"Ha, the Withering Black Mist, what a terrifying power."

Ha?

Then, the Herrscher of Death, who had just released the black mist, saw Lin Yu, covered in dark red Honkai Energy armor, charging directly towards her, knocking the Herrscher of Death was enveloped in the energy net, to the ground.

"Gurgle..."

The Herrscher of Death, whose power had been weakened, finally felt her body couldn't take it anymore after being severely injured once again.

Well, in conclusion, the harm she suffered is still the same.

However, although the Herrscher of Death's personality was mixed with Yuno's own personality, after Yuno went into seclusion, the Herrscher of Death's personality, which controlled the body, was, in a sense, a newborn.

To this unfortunate little baby, Lin Yu, who had abandoned his mocking expression and was now expressionless, was charging straight at him in his Honkai Energy Armor, acting like a mad dog who wasn't afraid of death.

She could see that the Withering Black Mist was indeed causing the Honkai Energy armor to wither away rapidly, but the opponent had no intention of backing down. Instead, it swung its fist and smashed it hard into her body once again.

"Hey, I didn't use that punch just now because I was worried I'd send you flying too far and give you a chance to catch your breath, but now..."

At this moment, Lin Yu, who had successfully ridden on Yuno's body, spoke words that made people feel very uneasy with a blank expression.

"Finally, I can go ahead and do it."

"Inch Force. Heaven Opening!"

"Inch Force. Heaven Opening!"

"Inch Force. Heaven Opening!"

Even now, her body is still being automatically repaired.

Meanwhile, the enemy's armor had been almost completely destroyed by the Withering Black Mist.

But at this moment, accompanied by the boy's roar, the Herrscher of Death, whose body was being relentlessly beaten, felt the fear of 'death' for the first time.

It wasn't that we were outmatched in terms of strength.

However, the aura that Lin Yu was now unleashing completely terrified the Herrscher of Death.

Relying on the ability of the Phantasm Lantern Barrier to weaken the enemy's energy intensity, Lin Yu wove a magic energy net and then attached a small Phantasm Lantern Barrier to it.

The item that the Herrscher of Death encountered was an energy block condensed by Lin Yu using the energy generated during their previous battle.

As for the dark red Honkai Energy armor on his body, it was essentially a layer of Phantasm Lantern Barrier that Lin Yu applied to the Honkai Energy armor after completing it with the [Shield System] of [Zero Knight. Moon Shadow], in order to weaken the withering characteristics of the enemy's black mist.

It sounds complicated, but what Lin Yu is doing now is simply stacking armor like crazy and then rushing up to relentlessly beat up this Herrscher.

The key to these operations lies in having an absurdly high level of precision and skill in energy manipulation and condensation.

Only when both of these criteria are met can Lin Yu successfully apply the [weakening ability] to the armor, thus achieving a powerful synergy, rather than the awkward internal friction of the slideshow weakening the armor's strength.

After fighting for so long, he actually saw a considerable chance of victory.

The Herrscher of Death and the Herrscher Persona within Mei's body are different.

Essentially, Mei's Herrscher Persona is her Stigmata Will.

Unlike the Herrscher of Death's personality, Mei's 'Herrscher Persona' had already awakened, so she wouldn't be as fragile as this little baby who gets scared after being punched a few times by Lin Yu.

Conversely, because this newly formed Herrscher Persona is relatively new, she is mentally... quite vulnerable.

To win a battle, it is not necessarily necessary to completely suppress the opponent's strength.

If you can completely overwhelm your opponent with your presence and let them be dominated by fear...

—The current Lin Yu might actually be able to completely suppress the Herrscher in front of him.

As for the power of the Withering Black Mist, it was too strong. Not only did it destroy his Honkai Energy Armor and God-Slaying Armor, it also caused his body to be constantly destroyed...

Compared to death, this pain is nothing to bear!

Lin Yu, who had already entered the Mirror Mind mode, immediately began to unleash Powerful Healing Technique on his body after feeling the pain.

Powerful Healing Technique, if activated instantly, can consume less mana and cast a healing spell instantly, providing the target with a moderate level of healing.

For Lin Yu, who had entered the Mirror Mind, beating up enemies while healing his own body was obviously not a problem.

The biggest problem for him now is whether he can completely beat his enemy to a mental breakdown before his magic runs out.

However, Lin Yu forgot one thing.

When he is cornered and pushed to the limit, he can unleash an incredibly terrifying potential.

However, the talent of a cornered dog to jump over a wall is a universal talent possessed by all animals.

Under this terrifying fear, the Herrscher of Death was not controlled or dominated by her mind.

Looking at the man before her, whose calm demeanor was tinged with a hint of madness, the Herrscher of Death, driven to desperation, found her survival instincts amplified to their peak by sheer fear.

"Get out of my way!"

After blowing away the man in front of her with pure Honkai Energy, two black wings resembling butterflies appeared behind the Herrscher of Death.

"Ha... ha... ha... I am Apostle of God, an apostle to cleanse this defiled world!"

"That mere maggot actually thinks it can kill me?!"

To be honest, Lin Yu, who had been blown away, could clearly hear that the other person was weak and was obviously still afraid of her for beating her earlier.

However, the problem is that the person who is using someone else's power is not Herrscher of Death.

She is truly strong; she just doesn't know how to use that power.

In this battle, it seemed that Lin Yu was suppressing his opponent the whole time.

However, Lin Yu knew very well that he was the one who was truly at a disadvantage.

In the mere one or two seconds since I was blown away, the power of creation has healed a significant portion of the other party's injuries.

On his side, although he managed to suppress his injuries with healing spells, Lin Yu, having lost his chance, could no longer suppress his opponent with the same tactics as before.

Less than two minutes have passed since the two sides started fighting.

I don't know when reinforcements will arrive; I've really pushed this guy to his limit.

Sigh, the first phase of the plan failed, so it seems we'll have to resort to the second phase, which I don't want to use.

Now that things have come to this, there's no need to worry about the consequences of using this tactic.

Let's talk about everything after I survive.
