When Gu Yu stood before the Knight-class Honkai Beast, it finally realized that one of its forelegs had been severed.

Though it barely managed to maintain its balance, it was now utterly unable to stop the blood spurting from the wound.

"Roar!"

After losing a leg, the Knight-class Honkai Beast showed no intention of retreating. Instead, the slash had stirred up its ferocity.

Although Gu Yu had severed its limb, the pressure he gave off was clearly inferior to that Crimson Dragon circling in the sky, constantly hunting the Assault-class Honkai Beasts.

In other words, in the Knight-class Honkai Beast's eyes, Gu Yu was obviously a soft persimmon it could squeeze at will.

As long as it was a little more careful, how could such a tiny human possibly defeat it?

The moment it thought of killing the enemy before it, the Knight-class Honkai Beast tightened its grip on its weapon, rallied itself, and charged at Gu Yu.

"Hmm, it's holding a strange knight lance. If I fight it with the Dragon Tail Saber, I don't seem to have any advantage either."

"Then..."

After throwing the Dragon Tail Saber directly like a projectile, Gu Yu stomped down and leaped high into the air while the Honkai Beast defended against the blade.

In midair, a dragon-head-shaped gauntlet, [Dragon Claws], equipped itself onto Gu Yu's right fist.

With his weapon equipped, Gu Yu aimed at the Knight-class Honkai Beast's head and threw a punch.

"Come on, let's see whether your skull is as hard as mine."

With the claws' enhancement, the power of Gu Yu's punch jumped directly from ten tons to one hundred tons.

After his physical output increased tenfold, Gu Yu's punch struck the Knight-class Honkai Beast's head and smashed the massive enemy straight into the schoolyard ground.

"Boom!"

With its entire body smashed into the ground, the Knight-class Honkai Beast was completely dumbfounded.

Though it was merely a beast that had just been corrupted by the Honkai, the small amount of knowledge granted to it by Honkai consciousness told it that humans were supposed to fight with technological weapons.

But...

But why was the human before it so powerful in individual combat???

That wasn't scientific, was it?!

Moreover, that physical blow was only the prelude to Gu Yu's assault.

After being equipped, Kamen Rider Ryuki's [Dragon Claws] could not only be used as striking gauntlets, but also as a flamethrower.

After blasting the Honkai Beast's head into the ground, Gu Yu immediately gathered flames and sprayed them directly from the Dragon Claws.

"Dragon Claw Fire, activate!"

Under temperatures as high as six thousand degrees Celsius, the Knight-class Honkai Beast's head was roasted into charcoal by Gu Yu's flames in less than a second.

"Phew, battle over..."

After lightly jumping down from the Knight-class Honkai Beast, Gu Yu looked at the massive body before him and continued helplessly.

"Looks like it's not time to say that yet."

Although the massive Knight-class Honkai Beast before Gu Yu had had its brain completely burned to a crisp by him,

the Honkai Energy within its body still drove its three remaining limbs, causing it to try to continue attacking its enemy.

Gu Yu glanced up at the sky and made a decision.

Musou Dragon had already eliminated the nearby Assault-class Honkai Beasts, while the Meele did not even dare approach this battlefield that radiated terrifying pressure.

If he had to pick something capable of threatening Raiden Mei and Kiana, it could only be...

—Forget it. If those two got serious and became Herrschers, they wouldn't even need a second to kill this thing.

"Still, even if this thing can no longer threaten us, we can't just watch this headless corpse keep running around."

After flicking out a card, Musou Dragon immediately circled to Gu Yu's side in the air, lifting him gradually up from the ground.

Then—empowered by the blazing flames spewed by Musou Dragon, Gu Yu shot down from midair like a cannonball at the Honkai Beast's corpse lying on the ground.

"Dragon Knight Kick!"

This time, Gu Yu did not aim for the Honkai Beast's weak point. Instead, he chose to kick straight through its body.

As the enormous wound appeared, the Honkai Beast's body was immediately scorched by flames and easily reduced to ash.

Only after that strike did Gu Yu notice that the other Meele on campus had unconsciously scattered and fled to other areas because the battle had been too intense.

"Phew, battle over."

After dealing with the enemy before him and confirming there were no other enemies nearby, Gu Yu directly canceled his transformation.

And this time, with his consciousness still intact, he could clearly feel it...

—The Knight Emblem on his right hand really was constantly absorbing the surrounding Honkai Energy.

"Absorbing Honkai Energy..."

After murmuring those words, Gu Yu shook his head and cast the other chaotic thoughts out of his mind.

"Hey, you two, it's safe now."

"Stop staying in that dangerous building and get down here!"

He looked up at Kiana and Mei's stunned faces, temporarily suppressing all his distracting thoughts.

There was no time to dwell on these things. It was still dangerous here.

Before that vixen Cocolia arrives, I have to escape Changkong City.

Nothing else matters. There is only one thing I need to think about, one thing I need to do.

I want to live...

—I will absolutely survive in this utterly terrible world!
