Use Flame Fist on Her!

As the light bullets rapidly flew towards her, Yunai's pupils instantly constricted.

When she had previously tormented Honkai Beasts and Meele, Yunai had never encountered such fierce resistance.

After encountering Gu Yu, Yunai suddenly realized that the new power she prided herself on had lost its peerless dominance.

Even though she unleashed immense Honkai Energy, manifesting countless vines imbued with Herrscher poison to launch a fierce assault on the enemy.

Yet, the enemy easily neutralized her attack and counterattacked in an instant.

If she continued to dawdle like this, she felt she would definitely be unable to defeat the enemy before her.

Retreat was a strategy, but thinking of the Honkai Energy gathered by these three people, Yunai...

...felt extremely unwilling.

Even though she was a Pseudo Herrscher, the Herrscher Cores within Raiden Mei and Kiana Kaslana were like tempting bait, drawing her to want to devour the Herrscher Cores within the two of them.

And the massive amount of Honkai Energy contained within Gu Yu directly stimulated the purest hunger within the young girl's heart.

If she could take down these three people here, she would undoubtedly be able to break free from this semi-real, semi-false state and evolve into the 'True Herrscher'.

"Yunai can't lose... No, Yunai won't lose!"

Before the light bullets could hit her body, Yunai manifested dozens of vines, pulling herself a short distance away from her original position.

Then, she looked down disdainfully from above at Gu Yu, who had broken through the petrified vines, and let out a cold, contemptuous laugh.

"You actually ran out of this cage on your own... You're really not smart."

"Is that so? In my opinion, the one who isn't smart seems to be you, imposter."

After lightly snapping his fingers, Gu Yu indifferently uttered a single word.

"Crawl."

At that moment, Yunai suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back.

"What... what is going on?!"

Yunai, whose body was almost pierced, felt dozens... no, nearly a hundred attacks rain down on her back like a torrent.

She immediately understood; these were the bullets the enemy had just fired.

But something was wrong.

She had clearly dodged these bullets!

In these light bullets fired from the Wake Gun, Gu Yu had attached the abilities of three Undead.

First, the ability of [Attack Ride Bullet] attached with [♦2 Armadillo Undead] strengthened the power of the light bullets fired by the Wake Gun.

Second, the ability of [Attack Ride Swiftness] attached with [♦4 Woodpecker Undead] strengthened the rapid-fire performance of the Wake Gun.

After amplifying the firing speed and power of the bullets with these two cards, Gu Yu used the last Undead card.

And the ability of the [♦8 Bat Undead] attached to this last Undead card, [Attack Ride Thorough Investigation]—homing shot.

Gu Yu never intended to blow up the girl in front of him with this single burst of shots. If the Pseudo Herrscher could be hit by such an attack, he wouldn't have had such a hard time from the start.

Yunai's action of dodging the first shot was completely within his calculations.

The real killing blow was the homing shot after dodging the direct hit.

Even though Yunai had gained the power of a Pseudo Herrscher, she was ultimately just a girl who had obtained this power for less than twenty-four hours.

With absolutely no combat experience, she never expected that the man in front of her would use such a trick to trap her.

Since Yunai's back was not covered by vines, these bullets easily achieved a direct hit.

What was even more embarrassing was that due to the surprise attack of the bullets, Yunai not only entered a staggered state from the powerful assault but was also directly knocked off the vines by Gu Yu.

[AttackRideUpper]

[AttackRideFire]

Gu Yu, standing on the petrified vines, stomped his foot and charged towards Yunai like a cannonball.

Under the enhancement of the two cards, Gu Yu's right fist suddenly erupted in scorching flames.

"You bastard, playing dirty!"

Seeing the armored man in front of her, Yunai, who had been tricked, erupted with a burst of Honkai Energy.

No matter how foolish she was, she knew that if she was hit by the man's flaming right fist this time, she would likely be finished.

She had only possessed this powerful strength for one day; she hadn't yet enjoyed the exhilarating feeling of being strong.

She didn't want to return to her incredibly weak self!

With a desperate mindset, over a dozen vines covered in Herrscher poison condensed around Yunai.

"Die! You must die!"

[AttackRideGemini]

As these vines lunged towards Gu Yu, Gu Yu threw the backup card he had prepared into the Driver.

"Forget it, with such a simple attack method, killing me is a bit difficult."

Just as the vine was about to pierce Gu Yu, the Zebra Undead crest attached to him activated.

[Attack Ride Clone], which sealed the ability of [♦9 Zebra Undead]—cloning.

Using the clone's ability to shift his body half an inch away, Gu Yu watched as his clone was instantly turned into a phantom by the attack.

Although this ability only bought him a split second of opening.

At this range, that opening was enough for him to decide the victor!

"The warm-up is about over. Let's end this fight with this punch."

Looking at the terrified expression on Yuno's face, Gu Yu truly couldn't imagine that the girl before him was a Pseudo Herrscher.

"FireUpper [Burning Rising Dragon]!"

However, he ultimately chose to mercilessly throw his iron fist.

He knew very well that whatever happened next could be dealt with later.

Fighting his opponent on the battlefield right now, he had neither the right nor the ability to hold back.

"Bang!"

After landing a punch on Yuno's cheek, Gu Yu turned his body and directly slammed Yuno towards the ground.

Using gravity's acceleration, he punched Yuno from the air straight into the ground.

After the blow, dense cracks immediately spread across the ground, centered on Yuno's twitching body.

"Hoo, the fight is over... Huh?!"

However, upon landing, Gu Yu suddenly looked at his right hand.

"What is this?!"

After defeating Yuno, Gu Yu felt an incredibly intense throbbing pain in his right hand.

At the same time, he saw the Honkai Energy within Yuno, as she lost consciousness, begin to scatter around—then, as if finding a destination, this Honkai Energy surged madly towards Gu Yu's right hand.

"What the hell?"

Feeling the throbbing pain from his right hand, Gu Yu immediately sensed something was wrong.

"It's over. I think I messed up this time."
