For the sake of Lin Yu, I must work harder! (cont.)

Ignoring the system's subsequent calls, Lin Yu looked at the two items that had appeared before him.

Although he did see a hint of gold mixed in with the purple light of the prop, purple still dominated the majority of the light's color.

Let's lower our expectations for now. If some really good stuff comes out, we can have more fun later.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yu looked at the two props whose light had dissipated.

These two items are less like props and more like a spell array.

On one of the magic circles emitting a blue light, a broadsword was engraved.

The other magic circle is inscribed with... Is this a winged monster?

Or something else?

Forget it, whatever. What these items look like isn't important to me anyway. What matters is what they do.

[Special Item - Imprint - Lord. Abomination (Castlevania Series)]

[Item Description - This item contains a fragment of a powerful being's imprint. It can unleash a powerful rain of light that can track enemies to some extent using magic.]

[Note 1: Due to special circumstances, weak users may injure themselves after using this imprint.]

[Note 2: These can be combined with corresponding imprints to unleash powerful skills.]

[Note 3: However, never use this unless you are desperate. Although the skill released after this imprint is fused with other imprints has great destructive power, it will cause great damage to the body of the strong, and for the weak, it will lead to instant death.]

[Special Item - Imprint - Lord's Era (Castlevania Series)]

[Item Description - A fragment containing the imprint of a powerful individual, capable of unleashing a powerful magic orb using magical energy.]

Aside from the item description being different from the one above, the three subsequent notes for the second engraving [Lord. Era] and the first engraving [Lord. Hatred] are completely copied and pasted.

Recalling the original story, Lin Yu knew very well that Note 3 was definitely not joking.

In the game Devil's Castle: The Lost Crest, where this crest appears, if the protagonist equips all three [Main/Dominus] crests and activates a combined spell, they will instantly die.

The engraving he has now is clearly an improved version.

The death mentioned in the original work is essentially the sacrifice of a soul, but the negative effects of the imprint here are actually weakened to damage to the physical body.

If a powerful individual is strong enough, they can rely on their strong physical body to withstand the negative buffs and then use this ultimate move.

Well, although I don't want to use such a potentially self-destructive ultimate move, having an extra trump card isn't necessarily a bad thing... right?

[Ah, while your idea isn't wrong, the technique you've come up with, although it doesn't consume the soul, places even higher demands on the physical body.]

[You haven't drawn the third imprint yet, so you can't use that powerful ultimate move. But even if you did draw it now, remember not to use it for the time being.]

[You'll die, you'll die, you'll die—remember that, don't blame the system for not warning you when things go wrong.]

Thanks for the reminder.

Alright, the lottery is over, and the system is still communicating with me, which means there is no danger around.

I feel a little unwell, but not bad enough to die on the spot, so... let's not waste this precious purple bottle.

In that moment of complete relaxation, Lin Yu seemed to hear some strange sounds that he shouldn't have heard.

These voices were even urging Lin Yu to drink a drop of the Full Vitality Recovery Potion, then get up and continue his painful battle with the Herrscher.

Damn it, I wasn't feeling well to begin with.

I practiced meditation in my dream last night.

I was lectured by Fu Hua for so long this morning.

It turned out that Yuno's escape might cause problems, so after flying over, she fought with the Herrscher and took care of a group of clueless clones.

I'm already this exhausted, and yet someone still wants me to go out and fight other Herrscher to the death?

Let's not even talk about the fact that there are no enemy Herrscher coming out to cause trouble right now—I'm human too, and I need to rest!

As his body relaxed more and more, Lin Yu, now completely at ease, abandoned his inner turmoil, took off his coat, leaving only a tattered black vest on his body.

Lin Yu picked up the coat, used a small knife formed from magic to make a small cut on his fingertip, and then left a message on the coat with his blood.

I'm fine, don't waste my Abyss Flower.

Well, considering that Bianca was the trump card that Otto had planted nearby in the original story, she shouldn't activate the Divine Key recklessly after being reminded.

Everything is arranged, so now...

This beastly instinct has been unleashed, and it's indulging in a daydream on the ground!

One minute later, Durandal arrived near the battlefield at top speed and saw the scene she least wanted to see.

Yuno, the Valkyrie who was with Lin Yu in the Far East Branch, and Dr. Mags, one of the targets of this mission, fell together with Lin Yu on the blood-stained ground.

"Lin Yu!"

Seeing Lin Yu lying motionless on the ground, Durandal became extremely anxious.

However, as the girl rushed to Lin Yu's side, her anxious expression became incredibly subtle after she saw the coat.

Then, accompanied by a snoring sound, Durandal's expression instantly changed from worry to uncertainty.

The Fourth Honkai Outbreak has ended.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it was Lin Yu who resolved this Honkai.

He was sleeping soundly, so it seemed like he was alright... bullshit!

Just thinking about how Lin Yu actually took down a Herrscher in seven minutes... oh, and more than one Herrscher.

After scanning the battlefield with her eyes, Durandal even noticed countless fragments of corpses scattered haphazardly on the ground not far away.

These blue-haired guys are the Herrscher Clone mentioned in the intelligence report.

Lin Yu defeated the Fourth Herrscher and so many Herrscher Clones in one fell swoop...

Ha, how is that possible?

Someone probably helped him once.

As for who that person is...

For some reason, a name suddenly came to mind for the girl.

Siegfried Kaslana.

His Holiness the bishop said that Siegfried is not our enemy, and that the warrant for his arrest has been lifted.

Furthermore, during the previous Third Honkai Outbreak and Nine Nether events, he did indeed stand on the side of humanity, rushing to the battlefield immediately to engage in a duel with the Honkai side's enemies.

So, if this time, he suddenly appears on the battlefield again and defeats the Herrscher of Death...

Rather than the impossible scenario of 'Lin Yu defeating the Herrscher almost unharmed,' it's more likely that Siegfried and Lin Yu teamed up to defeat the Herrscher.

It seems that Mr. Siegfried was indeed an outstanding hero.

His displeasure with Bishop Otto's ideas... is actually not entirely incomprehensible.

When Durandal thought about the plans Otto had once revealed to her, she felt that the bishop could be really crazy at times.

If Durandal n't felt that Otto might go even crazier if she didn't stay in Schicksal to keep an eye on him, she might have taken the same action Siegfried Durandal.

Moreover, this sentence...

What does it mean to say, "I'm fine, don't waste my Abyss Flower"?

If you're alright, then stay awake!

He's already passed out, yet he still claims he's fine—this guy is really trying to drive me crazy!

As anger flared within him, Durandal angrily used Abyss Flower to heal the remaining injuries on the three people present.

Honestly, you want me to stop using Abyss Flower, but you should take better care of your health.

Your vest is so tattered, who knows how serious your internal injuries are?

I'm clearly the strongest warrior of Schicksal...

When you encounter something like this, wouldn't it be better to just stall for time and let me handle the problem?

However, although the girl had this thought, she quickly understood why Lin Yu would take this approach.

Sigh, there's really nothing I can do.

I don't want Lin Yu to get hurt.

But Lin Yu probably thinks the same way I do.

That's why he wanted to suppress the Herrscher soon as it appeared—but that was still too reckless.

I was touched by his concern for me.

But that's no excuse for his reckless behavior!

I originally thought that after he went to St. Freya, he would be away from the headquarters and could relax a little.

But now—when did St. Freya Academy become so complicated?

When I was younger, I felt that the atmosphere at the St. Freya Academy was too relaxed, so I didn't stay there.

But now... less than two months have passed!

In less than two months, St. Freya Academy carried out the Nine Nether Mission and this Singapore Mission.

The Nine Nether quest involves the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chiyou, while the Singapore quest involves the battle to reclaim the Tranquility Gem.

To put it bluntly, both of these missions are related to Herrscher- level combat power, and even if Theresa were to come, she would have to be promoted.

As a result, the Far East Branch has now sent Lin Yu on two such missions—this is no longer Sparda- style education, it's Rashomon-style education!

A mission where the slightest mistake could lead to death on the battlefield... Could this be a mission that Lin Yu requested himself?

Damn it, this guy seems to be getting more and more mentally unstable.

After Rita finishes this mission, I will make sure she returns to headquarters as soon as possible and gives Lin Yu a good talking-to.

His mental health issues are getting worse, and to make matters worse, the probability of something going wrong in this world is increasing.

If this continues...

In that instant, looking at the severed limbs of Durandal, she suddenly saw that one of the heads had transformed into the unseeing expression of Lin Yu in death.

Because of this hallucination, Durandal took a step back and realized that in that instant, she had actually started scaring herself because she was so terrified of the possible future.

No, it's not just Rita.

I need to speak with His Excellency the Bishop as well!

Ultimately, it's the bishop who decides which missions the knights and Valkyrie participate in.

As long as he forces Lin Yu to stay at the branch to rest, Lin Yu will not be able to fly to other places without assistance.

Moreover, as long as I defeat all the Honkai Beast and Herrscher, Lin Yu will be unable to go to the battlefield even if he wants to fight because he has no mission.

I must work harder to clear out the Honkai.

Only in this way...

Looking at Lin Yu, whose face was tired but had a peaceful smile, Durandal gently stroked his hair with her hand and let out a long sigh.

Only in this way might he completely give up his hatred for the Honkai, and put people at ease a little.

About one minute ago, in the Singapore area.

In the vicinity of Singapore, Siegfried looked at the Valkyrie that appeared before him and helplessly put away the Flame-Chaser's Judgment.

"Ha, Siegfried, you really have changed a lot in personality, just like the rumors say."

The woman with long, dark brown hair standing before Siegfried, now looking at Siegfried as he put away his weapon, gave Siegfried a friendly smile.

"If it were in the past, you probably wouldn't have been so polite to me as an 'enemy'."

"Yes."

Looking at his junior, Siegfried spoke calmly.
