You Find a Booster, So I'll Find a Booster Too

"Bastard, do you really think I won't kill you?!"

The third Herrscher fanned her lightning wings, which had been struck by the Noble Phantasm. The Noble Phantasm, capable of shattering the shield of a Heavy Cannon Rabbit 19C, could only manage to create faint cracks on the lightning wings, barely affecting the third Herrscher at all.

"Some things are more important than life." Billy the Kid's transformation energy was completely drained by that Noble Phantasm. Accompanied by rising particles, Yu Luo returned to his original appearance. Without the boost from his Heroic Spirit body, and suffering from severe blood loss, Yu Luo could only kneel powerlessly on the ground, his face covered in bloodstains. Yet, he still raised his head, looking resolutely at the third Herrscher floating in mid-air.

"Henshin (Transform)!" Yu Luo took out Sasaki Kojiro's Card. He coughed heavily, and could only weakly lower it after holding the card in front of him. Waves of drowsiness washed over him, his body grew cold, and his limbs felt weak. However, a silver light still emanated from the Heroic Spirit Card, enveloping him.

When the light dissipated, Yu Luo's blue, long ponytail trailed on the ground behind him. He leaned on his Katana with both hands, managing to stand up from the ground. With the enhancement of his Heroic Spirit body, Yu Luo temporarily overcame the negative effects of his severe blood loss. Trembling, he raised the Katana in his hand and pointed it at the third Herrscher in the sky.

"Give Mei back to me!"

"Damn ant!" The third Herrscher, unable to stand Yu Luo's repeated provocations, finally lost her patience. She raised her right hand, and brilliant lightning gathered in her palm. Aiming at Yu Luo's tiny figure below, a lightning bolt as thick as an arm struck down at him.

"Face reality, ant, you're too weak!"

Yu Luo didn't even have time to react to the third Herrscher's casual attack. The trajectory of the lightning bolt was still reflected in his eyes when his entire body was struck, sent flying violently, and crashed heavily into the ruins of the building behind him, kicking up dust and smoke.

"How could this happen... she's so much stronger than when we first met..." Yu Luo coughed in pain. A piercing pain shot through his chest and back. In his mind, Sasaki Kojiro's transformation energy was draining like a faucet, dropping from 100% to 0% in an instant. Particles swirled around Yu Luo, forcibly dispelling his transformation.

"Do you understand the gap between us now?" The third Herrscher descended, hovering above the ruins. Her purple eyes reflected Yu Luo's defeated figure. "Although you possess a power similar to a Stigmata, you are simply too weak. With that, what right do you have to speak to me?!"

"Pffft..." Yu Luo coughed up a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, breathing in the air with a hint of blood. Every breath brought him excruciating pain. He could only lie powerlessly amidst the ruins, looking up at the third Herrscher floating arrogantly above him.

"Three ribs are broken. If you keep breathing like this, the broken bones might pierce your lungs. Just lie there obediently and wait for me to save you." The third Herrscher spoke with no emotion, her tone condescending. "I promised Mei I wouldn't harm Kiana and Bronya. Saving you was also part of that agreement."

"I will never let you possess Mei's body!" Yu Luo said to the third Herrscher, word by word.

"Incompetent rage." The third Herrscher glanced at Yu Luo before looking away. This man was already on the verge of death, unable to even move. He was no longer worth her attention.

"Hey, do you have any ideas?" Yu Luo asked the System in his mind. The gap in their strength was too vast, and he could only place his hope for a comeback on the System.

"Do you have any services like Huabei or Jiebei for advance payments, so I can draw out a Roman and have them flatten her?"

"Save it. Firstly, you don't have the authorization to draw divine Servants yet. Secondly, that kind of borrowing service is too stupid, I refuse." The System rolled its eyes and said, "Anyway, she's not going to kill you, so just lie there."

"Sigh, why did I end up with a stingy System like you!" Yu Luo tried to provoke it again, hoping for extra help. However, the System had become smarter this time and didn't fall for Yu Luo's tricks:

"Ultimately, you're just too weak." The System sighed. "If you could raise Sasaki Kojiro's Bond to 100%, there's a high chance you could win."

"You're overestimating the power of Heroic Spirits!" The System was unusually serious for a moment, but then its tone shifted abruptly. "Besides, you have no money and don't want to lose, which makes things difficult for me. I get paid for what I do, I need to eat too!"

Yu Luo fell silent, quietly searching his mind for the Heroic Spirit Card he had sworn never to use. He never expected that after only a few days, he would have to eat his words.

The System was well aware of Yu Luo's thoughts, watching as Yu Luo held a bronze Heroic Spirit Card between his fingers. A smiling man with a bow was depicted on it. Below the one-star icon on the card, the words "[Arash]" were written.

"Henshin (Transform)..." Yu Luo weakly uttered the two syllables. His lungs felt like they were burning, and the pain spread throughout his body. Even speaking took all his strength.

A dim silver light enveloped him. As the light faded, Yu Luo's clothes were replaced by blue armor, and he held a large, crimson bow in his hand. He activated Arash's EX-rank Noble Phantasm skill, coupled with an A-rank Endurance boost, Yu Luo's injuries temporarily stopped worsening.

Enduring the intense pain, he used the broken wall to support himself and stand up. Leaning against the broken wall, Yu Luo looked defiantly at the third Herrscher, who was preparing to attack the giant floating battleship in mid-air. He drew the bow with his left hand and pulled the string with his right, aiming at the third Herrscher's graceful back.

"Your Bond is too low, you can't unleash the full power of the Noble Phantasm," the System said calmly in Yu Luo's mind. "Even if you sacrifice your life, you won't get the result you want."

"There's no other way, is there?" Yu Luo said with a look of detachment, as if he had seen through life and death. "Some people and some things are worth risking your life for."

Arash's Noble Phantasm, [Star of Creation, Arash], was a B++-rank anti-army Noble Phantasm capable of firing an arrow that could tear apart the earth. Legend has it that Arash once divided the borders of Poland and Turan with a single arrow. This Noble Phantasm was an sublimation of that legend, a powerful Noble Phantasm comparable to an anti-country Noble Phantasm. The price for using it was the user's life.

The third Herrscher also sensed the pull of energy behind her and turned her head. She saw Yu Luo's broken body and the bow aimed at her, and said with some impatience, "Is it worth it?"

"Leave Mei's body..." Yu Luo said weakly, his drawing hand trembling slightly, but still firmly aimed at the third Herrscher, or rather, at her lightning wings behind her.

"I admit this strike has some power. It could probably destroy half of Changkong City." The third Herrscher's face was full of impatience. "But it's not enough to deal with me, and your body can't handle this attack either."

"That's right, I will die." Yu Luo said calmly, as if the one dying was someone unrelated to him.

"So, is it worth it to go this far for someone you've known for less than three days?" The third Herrscher mocked Yu Luo. "Or are you just mesmerized by this beautiful facade?"

"Heh, how would a monster like you understand human emotions?" Yu Luo chuckled. "I will do everything in my power to make you return Mei."

"You're seeking death!" The word "monster" in Yu Luo's words provoked the third Herrscher, who became enraged. Endless lightning gathered on both sides of her translucent purple lightning wings, forming dense balls of electricity.

"Star of Cre..." Yu Luo slowly drew the red bowstring to its limit. His hands trembled, his muscles tore, his blood vessels tore, his skin tore. Blood gushed from his arms, covering him in a mist of blood. All the bones in his body creaked under the unbearable strain. Just as the Noble Phantasm description stated, Yu Luo's entire body would be torn apart the moment the Noble Phantasm's true name was fully unleashed.

"Hey, you just said you were willing to give everything, right..." The System sighed deeply in Yu Luo's mind, interrupting Yu Luo's action of unleashing the Noble Phantasm's name. "I really can't stand hot-blooded, single-celled creatures like you."

"What are you going to do?"

"Beat up that stinky woman for you and bring back your cute girlfriend Mei."

"Didn't you say I had no money?"

"So we'll use other things as the price. But the price is huge, unimaginably so."

"What are you planning to do?" Yu Luo coughed and asked doubtfully. The System's tone was flippant, like a delinquent girl. "Of course, I'll log into your account and play as a booster!"

"If you agree, I'll log in right now."
