After the Herrscher in front of him was pushed to the limit, Lin Yu looked at the Honkai Energy butterfly wings that appeared on the other party's body and felt that something was wrong.

Since their initial encounter, Lin Yu has used magic in combat far more frequently than he has used Honkai Energy.

The reason for this is that, besides the fact that magic-related Phantasm Lantern Barrier are indeed very useful, the unstable Honkai Energy used by both sides on the battlefield is also a factor.

Lin Yu hadn't thought much about it before because the battle was too intense, but now that he had come to his senses, he glanced at Dr. Mags was almost out of breath, and realized that he had overlooked this key figure.

Even now, the Herrscher of Herrscher of Death's black wings still exhibit fluctuations caused by unstable energy.

Even if the Herrscher of Death is a newly born Herrscher doesn't know how to use their powers...

Even if Yuno's inner resistance prevents the Herrscher of Death from perfectly controlling this body...

However, for a Herrscher, the skill of condensing Honkai Energy into a form is already a max-level skill that they are born with.

The apostles under the throne of the Honkai God are not even skilled in energy condensation; even Lin Yu himself didn't believe it when he said that.

However, the fact before Lin Yu was that the dark wings that the opponent had unleashed in a fit of rage were not actually very stable.

If we consider the plot of the original work, Lin Yu felt that he probably knew what had happened to the other party.

In the original story, Dr. Mags took not only the Tranquility Gem with her when she defected, but also the latest version of the HSN potent serum that she had developed.

In the original manga, "Moon Shadow," after Dr. Mags injected the HSN Serum into Kiana's body without authorization, Kiana's body did indeed become weak.

Later, in order to prevent the Tranquility Gem from absorbing the Honkai Energy emitted by the liquid Honkai Crystal, Kiana touched the Tranquility Gem directly with her hand, which caused Sirin to awaken.

However, this time, after Sirin awakened and possessed the powers of the two Herrscher of Void and Death, she actually claimed during her duel with Fu Hua that she could "burn down half a city with the energy of this core".

Keep in mind that Sirin, with her boundless self-confidence, actually believed that the core of the Herrscher of Death could destroy half a city in Singapore, a place with a total area of only a little over 700 square kilometers...

It's absolutely impossible for Sirin, who hates humans, to show mercy.

The possibility that the Tranquility Gem, which was soaked in liquid Honkai Energy Crystal by Cocolia at the time, was actually not very high.

So, based on this, the problem can only be with Dr. Mags's injection of HSN Serum.

Dr. Mags indirectly suppressed Kiana's body with the HSN Serum, preventing Sirin had taken over Kiana's body, from fully unleashing the power of the two Herrscher.

In the end, even after donning Honkai Energy armor similar to [White Knight: Moonlight], Sirin was still instantly killed by Fu Hua with a single punch...

What else could Lin Yu say but that the HSN Serum was incredibly powerful?

The case is solved. It turns out that Dr. Mags wasn't killed by the Honkai Energy, and the Herrscher of Death's performance was weaker than I expected. The main reason is here.

I was wondering why I felt like the Honkai Energy here was being suppressed by something; now it seems that the HSN Serum he carried with him had an effect.

However, as time goes by, the effect of HSN Serum in Honkai Energy will gradually disappear.

Damn it, I came here to stall for time, but now it seems like if I don't step up my efforts, my time will be up.

Currently, the Honkai Energy on the battlefield has shown signs of being contained to some extent, indicating that Dr. Mags's HSN Serum was scattered on the ground rather than injected into Yuno's body.

The effect of scattering it on the ground was minimal; once the serum evaporated, the enraged Herrscher of Death...

The thought that the Herrscher of Death, who was already in a berserk state, would become even more powerful made Lin Yu act instantly.

To survive, the only way is to hit her with that move before the serum completely evaporates.

"What's wrong, maggots?"

The Herrscher of Death, floating in mid-air, now wore a twisted smile.

Why do I get the feeling that you're getting a little anxious?

"It's too late to panic now!"

The moment she uttered those words, the twisted smile on the girl's face became even more insane.

"Go to hell!"

At that moment, Lin Yu could feel countless energy fluctuations suddenly appearing on the ground.

"You seem to enjoy playing those little tricks, don't you? Well then, can you continue to use those tricks to toy with me?"

On the ground, countless vines formed from Honkai Energy began to lash out at the surrounding space in a disorderly manner.

On these vines, Lin Yu even saw Withering Black Mist clinging to their surface.

"Now I've figured it out. If I start thinking, I'll fall into your trap."

"So—if I simply abandon thinking and let my power run rampant to launch an attack, can you still predict my actions?"

Hearing the Herrscher of Death's words, Lin Yu, who was constantly dodging the opponent's attacks, really felt that the problem was now even more serious.

Although it wasn't much, the other party actually started to use their brain.

This kind of mindless, map-wide attack—"I don't care, I'm just going to use Honkai Energy to bombard everything without thinking"—is actually a sign that she has brains.

It has to be said that this move is a real counter to Lin Yu.

The reason Lin Yu is inferior to the Herrscher is that his energy intensity and total amount are far less than the Herrscher's.

If he could suppress his opponent in both of these aspects, why would he need to think so much? He could just use a wild punch to knock the opponent down.

Now, instead of getting into his fighting rhythm, his opponent launched an attack with a table-flipping tactic.

Faced with this kind of enemy, Lin Yu really felt a headache coming on.

Originally, getting close to the Herrscher of Death wouldn't have been so troublesome, but now...

The Herrscher of Death nodded with satisfaction as she watched Lin Yu rolling around on the ground.

Sure enough, the real reason she was bullied just now wasn't because she was too weak, but simply because she hadn't found the right approach.

Now, as she begins to realize just how powerful she truly is and starts attacking her enemies with all her might, they can no longer get close to her.

Looking back now, the Herrscher of Death realized that although the opponent's ranged attacks were powerful, those moves that required charging were clearly not something that could be used in such a state of frequent dodging.

If I keep my distance, I'll eventually wear them down.

"Fuck you, I'm angry!"

At this moment, Lin Yu, who was constantly rolling around, directly adjusted the power of the Holy Shield mode to the maximum and frantically squeezed out the Honkai Energy he could use.

At the same time, he activated the Magic Spear System, conjuring a light gun in his hand.

"I'm not dodging anymore, I'm going to explode right now!"

"Die!"

At that moment, the Herrscher of Death, who had just been incredibly arrogant, suddenly noticed something.

Although she created Imaginary Barrier after distancing herself from her opponent, the Imaginary Barrier's strength was noticeably weaker than before because she had focused all her power on attacking.

However, the previous Herrscher of Death had gained extremely high mobility after unfolding her black wings, so she didn't pay attention to this matter.

But now, as Lin Yu instantly condensed the light spear and locked onto the Herrscher of Death in the air, the fear she had just suppressed resurfaced.

This shot certainly couldn't Herrscher of Death instantly.

But looking at the Spear of Light that the opponent had thrown, she just felt something was wrong!

However, this event happened in an instant, which was not enough for the Herrscher of Death to react perfectly.

The Herrscher of Death was only forced to react after the demonic spear had pierced the weak Imaginary Barrier.

At this moment, the drawbacks of the Herrscher of Death caused by her lack of combat experience and poor mental state reappeared in her.

Due to a lack of combat experience and the fear that arose within her, the Herrscher of Death chose to evade the Spear of Light by dispelling the Black Wings that granted her mobility, allowing herself to fall from the air to the ground to complete the displacement.

To be honest, Lin Yu was really dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

He was prepared for a long and arduous battle, but the opponent...

This thing got blinded and too scared to fly after I threw a javelin?

After the battle Herrscher of Thunder and Siegfried, at least in terms of momentum, she was still at the top.

But the Herrscher of Death... no, to bully the weak and fear the strong to this extent, can you still be considered Herrscher?

However, Lin Yu, who was internally ranting about his enemy, certainly wouldn't display any chivalry just because the other party was incredibly stupid.

The two sides are enemies, and they are fighting to the death.

Now that the enemy has made a mistake, if you don't seize the opportunity to attack, the system will probably laugh at you as you die.

At that moment, the Herrscher of Death, who had just landed on the ground, suddenly saw Lin Yu do something very strange.

Although Lin Yu was ruthless in fights, her overall impression of him was still that of a 'berserker who knows no pain'.

But now, seeing Lin Yu condense a Honkai Energy blade and slash at her, causing blood to flow continuously from her body, the Herrscher of Death was completely stunned.

At this moment, in her eyes, Lin Yu had clearly evolved from a 'berserker who knew no pain' into a 'mad dog who would even cut himself after going berserk'.

However, in the next instant, the Herrscher of Death regretted it.

Falling from such a height was already a terrible mistake, but when the enemy charged in, she was distracted by their incomprehensible actions.

On the battlefield, this is obviously a major taboo.

It's just a pity that the Herrscher of Death probably won't have the chance to make up for her mistakes.

At that moment, Lin Yu, having cut open his own flesh, let the flowing blood begin to swirl around his body.

As a large amount of blood flowed out, Lin Yu's face quickly turned extremely pale.

However, at the same time, the Herrscher of Death's face also began to turn extremely pale.

Lin Yu's face was pale because he had lost too much blood.

But the Herrscher of Death was pale because—she was frightened again.

The Herrscher of Death, already terrified, abandoned her chaotic attack methods and began frantically using Honkai Energy vines to block Lin Yu's path.

However, after the blood wrapped around Lin Yu's body, this knight covered in blood didn't even have to swing his fist before the vines were instantly 'melted'.

This blood—damn it, his blood can suppress Honkai Energy?!

Realizing this, the Herrscher of Death ruthlessly condensed a huge ball of black mist energy and shot it straight at Lin Yu.

"Hey, let's fight to the death!"

Lin Yu, who had attached the Phantasm Lantern Barrier to the magic barrier, was now relying on the blood swirling around him to forcibly withstand the enemy's attacks, which had been weakened by the Phantasm Lantern Barrier.

Although he could feel his body, which was in contact with the black mist, was constantly withering away, he also obtained what he wanted—distance.

The threat posed by the Herrscher of Death to him, aside from the special nature of her powers, is entirely based on the intensity of her Honkai Energy and her attack range.

In close-quarters combat, it would be impossible for the opponent to defeat Lin Yu.

From the very beginning, Lin Yu has been working hard to close the gap between himself and the Herrscher of Death.

Now, he was certain that the Herrscher of Death, weakened by the HSN Serum and with diminished fighting spirit, was no longer an opponent he could not defeat.

Looking at the extremely flustered girl in front of him, a thought popped into Lin Yu's mind.

We can win.

If I can land this blow, I'm certain I'll win.

So—

At that moment, Lin Yu looked at the enemy in front of him who had no time to retreat, and swung his right fist, which was already wrapped with a lot of holy blood.

"Herrscher of Death, you shall be defeated by this punch."

"Holy Blood..."

" —Explosive Fist!"

When the punch struck the girl's body, she immediately coughed up blood due to the heavy impact.

At the same time, Lin Yu's attack, infused with the sacred blood of Shaniat Shaniat, successfully and violently blasted the sacred blood of Shaniat, which he had briefly converted from the Valkyrie fragments, into the body of the Herrscher of Death.

As the Holy Blood erupted within the Herrscher of Death, the power of the Herrscher Core was suppressed.

The next moment, Lin Yu looked at Yuno, whose eyes had suddenly become clear, and suppressed the extremely violent smile on his face.

"Senior?"

"Yuno, although I really want to say welcome back, but now..."

At this moment, Lin Yu looked at the girl whose body was constantly exploding and said to Yuno with great helplessness.
