The moment the Azure Dragon Staff struck, a hint of seriousness finally appeared in the Herrscher of Thunder's eyes.

"You, are a bit more interesting than the other insects."

In the Herrscher of Thunder's eyes, after being hit by her attack just now, Gu Yu, despite his strange armor, was destined to have his entire body molecularly collapse.

But judging by Gu Yu's agile speed at this moment, the Herrscher of Thunder's attack had not had much effect on him.

Although the Herrscher of Thunder currently had an Electromagnetic Shield to defend against attacks, she was no longer planning to play with Gu Yu.

Since the opponent had the ability to resist her molecular disintegration, it was possible this man had some trump card that could threaten her.

She had to...

...kill the opponent first.

The Azure Dragon Staff struck more than a dozen times in a second, like flowing water, but no matter how Gu Yu attacked, he couldn't break through the Electromagnetic Shield with the Azure Dragon Staff.

"Hoo, the Azure Dragon's power still can't break through this guy's shield?"

After falling from the sky to the ground, Gu Yu saw the killing intent appear in the Herrscher of Thunder's eyes and immediately drew a card from the Card Holder Sword.

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you think of me as an insect? For the high and mighty Queen of Thunder, crushing insects isn't very elegant, is it?"

Hearing Gu Yu's words, the Herrscher of Thunder chuckled and slowly rose a bit higher.

It had to be said, even knowing that the girl in front of him was a powerhouse capable of destroying towns with a casual gesture, her smile at this moment still made Gu Yu feel like he was about to fall for her.

After all, nowadays, being good-looking really allowed you to do whatever you wanted.

"Yes, for me, crushing an insect is indeed not an elegant thing. However, you are not something as lowly as an insect."

At this moment, the Herrscher of Thunder's wings, which originally had only four petals, suddenly became eight.

The Herrscher of Thunder in the air was like a butterfly entwined with lightning, making her seem incredibly eerie yet magnificent.

"I'll admit your strength a little, human. I am very tolerant of the strong."

"Let me show you a bit of my power!"

[FormRideKuugaPegasus (Form Ride Kuuga Pegasus Form)]

The moment the Herrscher of Thunder said this, Gu Yu didn't dare to delay and immediately swiped the card he had prepared.

The next moment, Gu Yu, who had switched to Kuuga Pegasus Form, barely managed to dodge an attack from the Herrscher of Thunder using his newly acquired super-perceptive ability.

"As expected, it's impossible to kill with one blow?"

The Herrscher of Thunder, after lightly unleashing an Air Blade, immediately drove her wings and accelerated to the extreme.

"But, at this speed..."

"—How much longer can you dodge?"

The girl, exerting her full power, turned into streaks of afterimages, flying chaotically in the air.

And on the rooftop of Senba Academy, Gu Yu could only grip the weapon he had just materialized, the [Pegasus Bow], and rely on his super-perceptive ability to predict the Herrscher of Thunder's attack direction, forcing himself to evade.

After switching to Kuuga's Pegasus Form, Gu Yu's perception and reaction abilities had increased thousands of times compared to an ordinary person.

Therefore, in this situation, the Herrscher of Thunder's seemingly incredibly fast attacks were not that fast for Gu Yu.

But at the same time, Gu Yu knew very well that he could only maintain Kuuga's Pegasus Form for a mere fifty seconds.

Kuuga's Pegasus Form consumed a lot of the user's stamina when used. Even though Gu Yu had temporarily borrowed this ability through the Power of Decade, it couldn't change the fact that his stamina was rapidly depleting.

He could barely evade the Herrscher of Thunder's attacks for now by relying on his greatly enhanced reaction and perception abilities.

But what about after fifty seconds?

If he couldn't think of a way, his life would only have these short forty-odd seconds left.

"Others transmigrate and start with girls and systems, while I'm being chased as soon as I meet someone... Forget it, I shouldn't have expected those novels to be a guide for transmigration."

While constantly perceiving, Gu Yu gradually noticed that the Herrscher of Thunder's flight trajectory seemed to have a certain pattern.

In the Herrscher of Thunder's eyes, although Gu Yu had perfectly evaded her attacks, he couldn't counterattack.

Therefore, the Herrscher of Thunder naturally assumed that the warrior in front of her couldn't completely track her movements with the naked eye and wouldn't be as cautious and randomly flying as he was at the beginning.

And this, coincidentally, gave Gu Yu an opportunity to counterattack.

"Heh, you've been dodging for a full forty seconds, you're quite something."

After seeing that the rooftop of Senba Academy had been completely shattered by the attacks she had unleashed, the Herrscher of Thunder narrowed her eyes slightly.

"There are very few places left for you to dodge, human."

"Indeed, but..."

Looking at Raiden Mei, who continued to fly rapidly, Gu Yu closed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, he no longer needed sight to observe her trajectory.

Relying on his body to sense the airflow, his ears to hear the location of sounds, and his nose to smell the distance of scents.

At this moment, he had completely captured the Herrscher of Thunder's position for the next second.

"—Got you!"

In an instant, Gu Yu injected Seal Energy into the Pegasus Bow, directly pulled back the string, and fired an Air Bullet using the Pegasus Bow.

"You...!"

The Air Bullet's speed was beyond the Herrscher of Thunder's imagination. At this moment, she was completely unable to intercept the Air Bullet accurately.

In annoyance, the Herrscher of Thunder immediately manipulated electromagnetic force, drawing lightning from the sky, and struck the area around herself with a bolt of lightning.

"Tricks!"

If it were an ordinary projectile, it would naturally have no effect under the bombardment of lightning.

However, the Air Bullet fired by Gu Yu not only contained air but also a special energy that shouldn't exist in this world—Seal Energy.

Setting aside its powerful destructive force, the greatest characteristic of Seal Energy is its [penetration].

The Electromagnetic Shield, which should have defended against all energy attacks, was partially penetrated by the Seal Energy after the Air Bullet exploded.

If the amount of Seal Energy were large, it would be enough to destroy all matter within a radius of several kilometers.

And now, even a small portion of Seal Energy was enough for Gu Yu to achieve his goal.

After the Seal Energy completely exploded, the Herrscher of Thunder, attacked at close range by the explosion, had Seal Energy smeared all over her face.

Even though she had constructed a defense in time, she still suffered a heavy blow from the violent impact.

And in the next second, along with the violent impact, another personality within the Herrscher of Thunder's body—Raiden Mei—awakened again.

She looked at her body, entwined with Honkai Energy, and looked in disbelief at herself floating in mid-air.

"What... what am I doing..."

"After I lost consciousness just now, did I..."

Upon thinking of a possibility, Raiden Mei completely forgot how to control Honkai Energy.

The girl who let the Honkai Energy dissipate naturally could no longer manipulate electromagnetic force to keep herself floating in mid-air.

Then...

--As the sensation of weightlessness invaded her body, Raiden Mei suddenly fell from the sky towards the ground.

"No!"

She looked at her falling body and screamed, closing her eyes.

Could it be...

--Today, she was going to die here before her father's injustice was cleared?
