Although Raiden Mei did not want her body to fall, now that she was no longer channeling the Power of the Herrscher, she naturally could not manipulate the electromagnetic field again to keep herself afloat.
She could only watch helplessly as her body fell from the sky, utterly unable to take any corrective measures.
The thought of dying here before clearing her father's name filled Raiden Mei with utter despair.
But as she felt her body gradually falling, she could only weakly stretch out a hand before closing her eyes in despair.
"Argh, what a damn hassle."
Watching Raiden Mei fall from the sky, Gu Yu scratched his head and grabbed the card that had automatically popped out of the card case, half-annoyed and half-angry.
"Fine, call me a saint if you want. I can't exactly just watch someone die right in front of me."
[Form Ride: Dual Luna Joker]
After switching from Pegasus Form to Dual Luna Joker, Gu Yu immediately extended his right hand.
In the Dual Luna Joker state, W's limbs possessed an incredibly terrifying degree of elasticity.
Raiden Mei, who should have landed headfirst and suffered severe injuries, was caught by the ankle by Gu Yu at the critical moment and yanked straight back onto the rooftop.
"Ha... ha... ha... ha..."
After completing that move, Gu Yu gently set Raiden Mei down on the ground and immediately canceled his transformation.
During the battle with the Herrscher of Thunder, Pegasus Form had already nearly exhausted all of Gu Yu's strength.
When he had just switched forms, Gu Yu had almost blacked out.
If Gu Yu's willpower had not been strong enough, he might have fainted on the spot while moving, then rolled into an intimate encounter with the ground just like Raiden Mei.
At the same time, after feeling her ankle being grabbed and opening her eyes, Raiden Mei saw Gu Yu saving her.
After being pulled back onto the rooftop by Gu Yu, the survivor of that brush with death stroked her chest and took deep breaths of the surrounding air.
"Hoo... hah... hoo... hah..."
But after calming down, Raiden Mei recalled just how strange she had been moments ago.
After her consciousness had been taken away, Raiden Mei's memories had remained at the very beginning of her encounter with Gu Yu.
From her own perspective, her head had merely hurt for a few seconds, yet the entire rooftop had been nearly torn apart.
Moreover, the boy in front of her, who was nearly the same age as her, had very clearly turned into something else just now.
And considering that she had floated in the air before falling, the person who had just fought this boy...
...could only have been her, right?
"Um... could it be..."
After awkwardly glancing at the panting Gu Yu, Raiden Mei asked apologetically.
"Did I do all of this?"
"Uh... well... not exactly?"
Seeing the apology in the girl's eyes, Gu Yu could not exactly say, 'Yeah, you unlucky kid got set up by someone and nearly beat me to death.'
There was no benefit to Gu Yu taking out his anger on the girl before him.
If he truly wanted revenge, Gu Yu decided that he ought to find the right people.
Whether it was Cocolia, who had triggered the Third Honkai Outbreak, or Otto, the mastermind behind the entire Honkai world, either was clearly a more suitable target for revenge than Raiden Mei, who had been screwed over terribly.
"Forget it. None of that matters now."
Forcing himself upright, Gu Yu staggered toward the rooftop door.
"Raiden, this place is probably about to collapse. If you don't want to die here, then..."
Unfortunately, before Gu Yu could finish, Raiden Mei saw the boy in front of her, staggering like a drunkard, suddenly plunge headfirst onto the ground.
"Hey! Are you okay? Wake up!"
Seeing the boy faceplant onto the ground, Raiden Mei immediately rushed over and tried to help Gu Yu up.
But at that moment, Raiden Mei, who was trying to move her body, discovered that her formerly energetic body had somehow become completely weak as well, causing her to collapse beside Gu Yu.
A few minutes earlier, Senba Academy campus.
When the Third Honkai Outbreak had just begun, Kiana Kaslana immediately sensed immense Honkai Energy spreading through Changkong City.
The classmates who had just been greeting her had all begun transforming into Meeles under the infection of that Honkai Energy.
At the same time, Kiana could clearly sense that the source of this Honkai Energy was nowhere else—it was on the rooftop of the nearby First Teaching Building.
"Strange. Very strange. Honkai Energy on this scale isn't something an ordinary Honkai Beast could unleash."
After casually swinging her bat and sending a Meele flying, Kiana narrowed her eyes slightly.
"I'll go take a look. After all, I'm a member of the Kaslana Family. I can't just stand by and watch Honkai run rampant."
Then, gripping the metal baseball bat in her hand, Kiana forcibly carved a bloody path through the swarm of Meeles.
After sending every Meele she encountered flying, Kiana successfully reached the battered rooftop.
Then, she saw a scene completely different from what she had imagined.
A boy lay on the ground, breathing heavily.
Beside him, a black-haired girl also lay on the ground, her face flushed red.
Although Kiana knew things probably were not what she had instantly imagined.
At that moment, however, the Kaslana Family's incredibly swift reflexes made her body act before her brain, and she blurted out the words without thinking.
"Um, you two..."
"Did I come at a bit of a bad time?"
