What to do when Lang Fan Che is about to be overturned?

"What?!" Feeling the threat from behind, the Third Herrscher was startled and quickly ascended, attempting to dodge the arrow. Unfortunately, Hrunting, a legendary Noble Phantasm of Beowulf, had been transformed by Emiya into a weapon that would relentlessly pursue its target as long as the archer lived, no matter how many times it was knocked down. It was truly a hunter's weapon.

Hrunting curved through the air, continuing its pursuit of the Third Herrscher's lightning wings. "A homing sword? How troublesome!" The Third Herrscher quickly realized this, scoffed, and stopped dodging. Instead, she accelerated to maximum speed, charging directly at "Yu Luo."

"In that case, I'll just have to eliminate you."

"Yu Luo" watched the Third Herrscher approaching rapidly from a great distance with a calm expression. It could be said without exaggeration that all of the Third Herrscher's reactions thus far were within "Yu Luo's" calculations. "Let's give you something exciting!"

Thinking this, "Yu Luo" drew his bow again, murmuring, "Trace on!" Electric light bloomed on the bowstring once more, and a long sword shaped like a sharp cone, adorned with spiral patterns, was placed on the string.

"Caladbolg II!"

"Yu Luo" released the bowstring again. Caladbolg II, accompanied by the whistling sound of wind and thunder, left a trail of lightning behind it as it shot towards the charging Third Herrscher like heavenly lightning.

"This bastard!" the Third Herrscher cursed. She could feel the energy contained within both swords. A direct hit could very well result in serious injury. Both projectiles were incredibly fast. Before the electric light on Yu Luo's bowstring had even faded, the Third Herrscher was already facing Caladbolg II.

"Buzz..." Helpless, the Third Herrscher stopped her flight and raised a shield made of lightning, enveloping herself. Just as she completed the shield, Caladbolg II arrived, colliding with it.

"Sizzle..." The moment Caladbolg II hit the shield, it broke through its protection. Behind it, Hrunting also struck the shield, its entire tip sinking into it.

The Third Herrscher clasped her hands together, her lightning wings behind her glowing with brilliant purple light. The originally blue-white lightning shield was now dyed purple, looking magnificent. Both swords slowed down visibly, as if entering a swamp, stopping just short of the Third Herrscher's body.

Seeing this, "Yu Luo" was not disappointed at all. Instead, a triumphant smile spread across his lips. He put away his great bow, snapped his right fingers, and his proud voice echoed in the air:

"Broken Phantasm!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two explosions occurred almost simultaneously, creating terrifying flames and a horrifying sea of lightning in the sky. Fire and lightning intertwined, occupying half the sky. A massive mushroom cloud rose from the Third Herrscher's direction, like the end of the world. The terrifying shockwave caused all the remaining high-rise buildings in Changkong City to collapse. Fire and lightning ignited the entire city, turning it into a sea of flames.

The enormous floating battleship, Hyperion, shook violently under the continuous shockwaves, struggling to maintain its balance. After being blown dozens of meters away, it finally stabilized its hull.

"Careful!" As the shockwave hit, Murata Himeko, who was already barely standing on the bridge, was almost blown away. Fortunately, Theresa stood beside her, grabbing her body, while her other hand held onto the cannon of the violently shaking Hyperion, preventing them from being blown off from high above.

"Did that man shoot nuclear bombs?!" Theresa exclaimed, looking at the scene before her, and then turned her gaze back to the main battlefield, wanting to know the Third Herrscher's fate.

"I'm afraid any Honkai Beast of any level would be instantly killed by such an attack," Murata Himeko said, looking at the scene. Fire and lightning flashed in her pupils. "It should be said that besides Valkyries of the Headmaster's caliber, no other creature could possibly survive."

"Is this the combat of a Herrscher-level being?"

"Yu Luo" projected the black and white twin swords again, his gaze fixed on the center of the explosion, his eyes filled with caution. He said confidently, "This little trick probably won't defeat you. I don't believe you only have this much ability."

"This is no mere trick," the Third Herrscher's calm voice came from the center of the explosion. However, everyone present could feel the suppressed rage beneath that calmness.

The sky suddenly darkened, and the air became heavy. The lightning and fire in the sky dissipated, revealing the Third Herrscher's body. Her clothes were tattered, her fair skin exposed to the air, and her body was covered in black marks left by the burning lightning and fire. Her lightning wings were full of fragments, with lightning seeping from the cracks, seemingly held together by force by the Third Herrscher herself.

"I say, why do you guys love being mages so much?" "Yu Luo" looked up at the darkening sky, where large swathes of black lightning clouds were gathering from all directions, covering the sky above Changkong City. Immense pressure fell upon everyone who was still conscious.

"Rumble..." A shining lightning dragon briefly pierced the thunderclouds before vanishing. The Third Herrscher floated beneath the thunderclouds, holding a strange sword in her hand, pointing it towards the sky. A vortex formed in the center of the thunderclouds, and silver-white lightning gathered within, making the atmosphere increasingly dangerous.

"Yu Luo" would not stand idly by and let the Third Herrscher's ultimate move charge. Holding the black and white twin swords, he charged directly forward, leaving a streak of crimson afterimages in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the Third Herrscher and, with a whistling sound, slashed directly at her lightning wings, which were enveloped in lightning.

"Sizzle..." Just as "Yu Luo's" black and white twin swords were about to strike, a small lightning dragon suddenly appeared around the Third Herrscher, deflecting the twin swords. A bolt of lightning spat from the dragon's mouth, which "Yu Luo" unceremoniously shattered.

"A barrier..." "Yu Luo" frowned and looked up at the sky. The silver-white vortex in the center was gathering increasingly powerful lightning, showing signs of forming plasma.

"A barrier connected to the entire thundercloud... Unless I can destroy the thundercloud all at once?" "Yu Luo" saw through the truth of the barrier with his B-rank Mind's Eye (True) and felt a bit troubled.

The Third Herrscher was still charging her attack, but "Yu Luo" could clearly feel that her charge was nearing its end. No wonder she dared to stand still and charge her attack while being a stationary target, knowing "Yu Luo's" terrifying firepower. This barrier protecting her was extremely strong and was connected to the thundercloud covering all of Changkong City.

"I am the bone of my sword," "Yu Luo" closed his eyes and began to chant, preparing to unleash his Noble Phantasm. As long as he could finish chanting before the Third Herrscher's charge was complete, he could sever the connection between the barrier and the Third Herrscher, leaving her at his mercy.

"Steel is my body, and fire is my blood."

"I have created over a thousand blades."

"Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life."

However, the chanting time for the Noble Phantasm was too long. When "Yu Luo" was only halfway through his chant, the Third Herrscher had already finished charging. From the thundercloud, where the power had reached its peak, a lightning dragon as thick as a bucket let out a long roar and completely entered the long sword in the Third Herrscher's hand.

"Lightning... Explode!" The Third Herrscher opened her eyes, which had completely turned silver-white. With a thunderclap in the clear sky, she transformed into a bolt of lightning and pierced "Yu Luo's" body without mercy, carrying wind and thunder, at a speed exceeding that of Caladbolg II, tearing through the sky.

"Yu Luo" opened his eyes, abandoning the chant of his Noble Phantasm. He flicked his right hand forward, activating his Projection Magic.

"Rho Aias!"

A giant shield of petals appeared before "Yu Luo," attempting to block the Third Herrscher who had transformed into lightning. The lightning struck the petal shield, which was like paper in front of the lightning, instantly piercing through four layers without hindrance. It only slowed down slightly at the fifth layer before shattering.

However, "Yu Luo" used this brief moment to forcefully throw the white short sword in his hand. It was directly deflected by the lightning, causing no obstruction. The black short sword followed behind it, also thrown, but to no avail. At the same time, the sixth petal layer shattered.

"Yu Luo's" hands crackled with electricity, and he projected two more black and white short swords, throwing them at two other tricky angles. They were still deflected, but the Third Herrscher's lightning form had dimmed considerably. One could even vaguely see a human figure enveloped within the lightning.

Finally, the seventh petal layer also completely shattered. There was nothing left to obstruct "Yu Luo." The Third Herrscher revealed her human form, her lightning-like sword in hand, and viciously thrust it towards Yu Luo's throat.

"Yu Luo's" eyes reflected the unobstructed sword lunging towards him, calm as a still pond. The Third Herrscher's voice echoed in his ears:

"You are indeed strong, but unfortunately, it's over."
