Chapter 441
'What happened... the halved power has actually been restored?'
It was observed that Luo Mio's current speed was almost the same as before it was halved.
The next moment, Luo Mio reversed her grip on the sword and slammed it into Vali's abdomen with the hilt.
A tremendous force sent Vali flying.
Even the Ddraig in the jade jewel of "Boosted Gear" on Issei's left hand below made a sound.
"This is absolutely insane!"
"What happened, Ddraig?"
"Ddraig said."
"If your power is halved, my power can restore it."
"But Karen Kasalana is not."
Upon hearing Issei, Issei also looked at his gauntlets.
"What's going on?"
Then Ddraig made a surprising statement.
"Karen Kasalana is currently expending her own life force to restore her halved power."
"!"
Upon hearing this, Issei immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Luo Mio, who was locked in combat with Vali in the sky.
Vali heard Albion's explanation and then frowned slightly as he looked at Luo Mio.
I don't understand why he would go to such lengths.
But in that moment of distraction, Luo Mio's slash tore through space, descending diagonally like a crescent moon.
Feeling Luo Mio's slash that was powerful enough to split him in two, Vali hurriedly dodged.
Then, just as Luo Mio charged towards Vali once again.
The 10-second countdown has begun again.
"Divide!"
Albion's voice rang out once again.
For others, Luo Mio's speed also suddenly became extremely slow.
Luo Mio seemed to sense something was wrong with her body. Then her eyes lit up, and she looked up at Vali as if she were looking at a hidden treasure.
Vali looked at Luo Mio with a mixture of confusion and unease.
It felt like he was being used as a tool.
Luo Mio: 'No doubt about it, it's you!'
Luo Mio's speed was not the same as before it was halved, and she suddenly rushed towards Vali.
"Clang—!"
A fierce slash landed on Vali's hand.
Then the armor on Vali's hands shattered instantly.
Vali was also taken aback, then gathered all his magic power and restored the Dragon Armor.
Luo Mio was now attacking him as if she were planning something, seemingly reckless and suicidal.
And every strike contained absolute killing intent.
This forced him to use "Devide" to weaken Luo Mio's attack.
Then another 10 seconds passed.
"Divide!"
However, what made things very difficult for Vali was that Luo Mio's strength and speed had not diminished at all.
Luo Mio forcibly used his own life to replenish his weakened power, but having the power of "life and death," he didn't care at all about the Life Force he was losing.
Because while "life and death" were transforming his physical strength, they were also restoring his Life Force.
Luo Mio slowly exhaled, looking at Vali and feeling the molting process within her body.
As Luo Mio continuously depletes her Life Force, "life and death" are constantly being transformed and integrated into this Character Carrier.
The battle between Luo Mio and Vali also came to a brief end at this moment.
Vali was seen floating in mid-air with his arms outstretched, and the wings of light behind him extended and grew larger as well.
Then, his whole body began to burst forth with dazzling flames, and a halo of light, like ripples, began to appear around his wings.
Albion's voice followed.
"—Half Dimension!"
Then Vali reached out to Luo Mio and slowly grasped her hand.
The space around Luo Mio suddenly began to distort and gradually shrink.
"The White Dragon Emperor's Domain (Half Dimension)"
It can turn everything around it into half.
Luo Mio clearly sensed that the space around her was gradually distorting, and the halved space was also squeezing towards Luo Mio.
When faced with Vali's "Half White Dragon Emperor," Luo Mio sensed a transformation occurring throughout her body, and then a slow smile appeared on her lips.
In the very next second.
Two powerful auras, one white and one black, suddenly erupted from Luo Mio's body.
The two bursts of energy instantly shattered Vali's "White Dragon Emperor Dimension".
"What?!"
When Vali saw this, he was slightly taken aback.
Upon seeing the two auras, one white and one black, Azazel immediately sensed something was amiss and waved his hand, creating a defensive barrier in front of everyone.
Vali also sensed something was wrong and quickly moved away from Luo Mio's vicinity.
All around Luo Mio was white light, symbolizing "life," and black mist, symbolizing "death," merging and intertwining.
Then it completely enveloped Luo Mio's body within it.
As white light and black mist swirled around her, Luo Mio's clothes and accessories also changed.
His clothes changed once again to the black and white outfit he wore when he fought Sirzechs.
However, this time was different from usual; there was a blood-red pattern in the very center of the garment.
And the forces of "life" and "death" that emerged behind Luo Mio gradually converged behind her.
This eventually formed a pattern.
The white and black patterns, resembling crescent moons, begin to merge together, much like the Tai Chi symbol in Chinese mythology.
In the center are white dots and a black crescent moon.
At this moment, Vali and the leaders of the Three Great Powers present clearly noticed Luo Mio's 'transformation'!
It's like how humans evolved into a species that is more advanced than humans, similar to humans.
Luo Mio knew better than anyone else what his physical condition was like at that moment.
At this moment, Luo Mio is as if she has merged with the vessel of the 'Herrscher of Perception'.
The Herrscher markings that appeared behind her were enough to prove Luo Mio's current situation.
Now his body has completely become the 'Herrscher of Death'!
Luo Mio slowly opened her eyes and looked at Vali.
"!"
In the next instant, Vali felt as if he had fallen into an abyss called "death".
Two lines, one black and one white, are visible in her crystal-clear blue eyes.
Just like the Herrscher Pupils of Sora and Fubuki.
Luo Mio slowly exhaled.
At this moment, Luo Mio felt the same way she did when she first awakened "space".
Now, his 'Karen Kasalana' Character Carrier has completely become the Herrscher of Death '!
At this moment, the system's complaints also rang out in the Consciousness Space.
'Seele was here first, so why...'
Upon hearing the system's role-playing voice, Luo Mio raised her eyebrows slightly.
'What's the meaning?'
The system said with a rather helpless expression.
'According to the original plan, the initial intention was for you, the host, to integrate the power of "restraint" into the Character Carrier.'
'...'
The power of "life and death" is then integrated into the next Character Carrier in the next world.
Luo Mio's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
'But you didn't tell me that.'
'How the hell am I supposed to know you're not playing by the rules?'
The system roared and complained in Luo Mio's mind.
'Okay, it's my pot.'
After chatting with the system, Luo Mio turned her attention back to Vali.
He then took back the 'Sakura Oath'.
Luo Mio stretched out her hands.
"Black Abyss" and "Abyss Flower" reappeared in Luo Mio's hands.
Unlike usual, at this moment Luo Mio felt that "Black Abyss White Flower" was like her own hands.
"I'm sorry, Vali."
Luo Mio smiled slightly.
"I've kept you waiting a bit too long."
Chapter 48: The Ended Battle
Looking at Luo Mio's current appearance and condition, Vali frowned slightly.
"Could this be... the Balance Breaker state of the 'Life and Death Twin Spears of Life and Death'?"
At this moment, Luo Mio's entire body was filled with the aura of "death" and "life," and the two were in a very balanced state.
They are clearly contradictory and mutually exclusive, like the concepts of saint and demon.
Now, however, they seem to come from the same source, showing no rejection of each other, but rather blending together like water.
Seeing Luo Mio like this, Vali tentatively unleashed his power on Luo Mio.
"Divide!"
Just as the halo was about to touch Luo Mio suddenly raised the "Black Abyss" in her hand and gently slashed it forward.
The next second...
Vali's "Devide" aura was like a 'living being' gently sliced in half by the Black Abyss, instantly turning into light particles and slowly dissipating, as if it had died.
Seeing this, Vali also spoke in a deep voice.
"Is this... 'death'?"
