Chapter 550
Airi then explained everything to Luo Mio.
Before Luo Mio and the others went to investigate the "Sixth Ruins - The Little Garden", when Lux and Kurokushifa returned, they encountered Eltirize Mecorea, the butler of the Enfalk Family, and... Kurokushifa's fiancé, Bozelido Chloecha.
Eludelis Mecorea believes that Bozelido Chloecha is the most suitable fiancé for her young lady, but Kurokushifa disagrees in the slightest, or rather, does not want to become husband and wife with Bozelido. This leads to the two of them agreeing to have a 2V2 duel tonight.
The duel is between Bozelido and Eludelisze against Kurokushifa and... Lux.
Upon hearing Airi's words, Luo Mio's lips curled up slightly.
It seems that Lux and Kurokushifa have taken their relationship a step further within the ruins.
Perhaps it was because he knew about Kurokushifa's life and destiny that Lux chose to protect her.
Luo Mio looked at Airi, gently patted Airi's head, and said to her.
"Don't worry, they'll be fine."
After saying that, Luo Mio put on her clothes and walked outside.
"It's already time to turn off the lights and go to sleep."
Chapter 20: Assimilated by 'Honkai Energy'
Night falls on the ruins of a church, outside the third suburb of the Fortress City Crossfield.
"Boom----!"
With a dazzling blue light and a deafening explosion, a private battle quietly came to an end...
——
Lux, slightly out of breath after releasing Bahamut, spoke to Kurokushifa had lost her Mecha Dragon energy and divine armor.
"Are you alright, Classmate Kurokushifa?"
Kurokushifa shook her head.
"I'm fine..."
The reason she is weak now is simply because her dragon energy and divine equipment were taken away by Bozelido's 'Aki Dahaka's' divine equipment ability 'Thousand Illusions', which caused her physical weakness.
And at this moment—
"Hmph... Hahahahahahahahahaha——————!"
Upon hearing the laughter, Lux immediately showed an expression of disbelief, and then suddenly turned towards the direction of Bozelido, whom he had just defeated with 'Recall Burst'.
Before Lux and Kurokushifa's eyes, the man who should have been defeated stood up again and laughed heartily.
"How... is this possible?!"
Kurokushifa also stared in disbelief at Bozelido had stood up.
Lux's 'Recall Burst' attack just now was Recall Burst that even Risha would likely be unable to withstand it head-on, let alone her.
Then, both Lux and Kurokushifa, with their keen eyes, turned their gazes toward Bozelido's face.
Purple lines began to slowly appear on Bozelido's face, emanating a very eerie aura.
Not only on Bozelido's face, but also on his hands, there were several purple lines.
Lux and Kurokushifa watched this scene and couldn't help but murmur to themselves.
"... What is that?"
"I... don't know either."
All I heard Bozelido looking at his casual hands, then quietly clenching them together, a completely crazed expression appearing on his face, which gradually twisted.
"Hahahahahaha—!!!!"
"Power! I can feel power flowing through my body!"
Bozelido stared at the purple markings on his hands that resembled the divine armor of 'Aki Dahaka', muttering to himself with a frantic expression.
"As long as... as long as I use the 'Thousand Illusions'... to seize more power, more power!"
Bozelido raised his eyes and looked at Lux.
"!"
The moment Paul Bozelido raised his face, Lux's expression froze.
Because on Bozelido's face, the half of his face that was eroded by purple patterns had turned as white as a corpse.
"Hahahahahaha—! Power! Power! Power—!"
Shouting wildly, Bozelido held his Sword Device high.
In the next instant, 'Aiki Dahaka', which had been scattered by Lux, reappeared on Bozelido's body.
"How is this possible?!"
Lux Kurokushifa both showed expressions of disbelief upon seeing this.
Putting aside the originally planned 'Aiki Dahaka', the male Bozelido actually ignored the limitations of the machine dragon's Adaptation value and summoned 'Aiki Dahaka' again.
And... this time, the 'Aiki Dahaka' that Bozelido summoned was no longer the same as before.
The dark fuselage was covered with bright purple patterns, making the entire 'Aiki Dahaka' look extremely eerie and terrifying at this moment.
Bozelido seemed to thoroughly enjoy the looks and expressions on Lux Kurokushifa at that moment.
With arms outstretched as if displaying his 'Aiki Dahaka', he said to the two, "See this? This is my 'Aiki Dahaka,' the true power of my 'Thousand Illusions'!"
"As long as I seize more power! Not only will the New Kingdom and the 'Ragnarok' Finality Godbeast, but the entire world will submit to my feet!"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Seeing the overwhelming pressure Bozelido Lux, Lux Kurokushifa couldn't help but grip their Sword Device tightly.
However, Kurokushifa has had its dragon energy and divine equipment stolen by Bozelido's 'Thousand Illusions', and can no longer summon 'Fafnir'.
Although Lux can still summon Bahamut, he cannot fully exert his power because of the loss of Gluttony. Furthermore, skills like Recall Burst can never be used again, otherwise his body will not be able to withstand it and he will die directly.
'Recall Burst'.
That was one of the three great dragon-themed techniques he created.
The physical and mental control of the mecha dragon are manipulated in completely opposite directions, causing chaos in the mecha dragon's own control center and spontaneously putting the mecha dragon into a berserk state. This state is then used to unleash a limit-endurance attack that is normally impossible to use!
However, because it causes the dragon to go berserk spontaneously, this skill also has a counterproductive effect. If the energy control of the Phantasy Core fails, it will trigger a berserk state, which will not only cause the dragon to self-destruct, but also put the Dragoknight in danger of death.
Therefore, even he himself rarely uses this skill.
And at that very moment—
"Hey, it's time to turn off the engine and go to sleep. What are you two doing here?"
A familiar voice suddenly reached Lux Kurokushifa's ears.
Upon hearing the sound, the two turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.
At the edge of the church ruins, Luo Mio, dressed in an instructor's uniform, emerged from the grounds.
Lux was quite surprised to see Luo Mio appear.
"Teacher Bianca? Why are you..."
Luo Mio glared at Lux and said directly.
"You haven't answered my question yet, have you? Why are you and Kurokushifa here at this time?"
"Well..."
At that moment, due to his delirium, Bozelido mistakenly believed that Luo Mio was the reinforcements that Lux and his group had brought, and he laughed maniacally.
"Hahahahaha—! Useless! Fallen prince! No matter how many people you call, it's useless!"
After saying that, Bozelido's 'Aiki Dahaka' rushed towards Luo Mio at an incredible speed.
Lux shouted, "Watch out!"
The instant Lux shouted, 'Aigi Dahaka' arrived in front of Luo Mio, wielding the Mecha Dragon Battle Axe.
In Luo Mio's eyes, Bozelido the same expression as the king of facial expressions, Jonouchi, and was shouting loudly at Luo Mio.
"Nisnei————!"
Seeing this, Luo Mio slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Bozelido.
He miraculously dodged the attack at an incredible angle as the Mecha Dragon Battle Axe swung down at him.
At the same time, all around Luo Mio, or rather... in the entire Fortress City Crossfield, the sky paled, and the passage of space slowed down considerably, as if it had frozen in time.
"Pegasus - Wings Chasing the Northern Sky" - Time-Space Rupture!
Then, in the next second, Luo Mio suddenly threw a punch at 'Aki Dahaka's' arm!
"Flying Star Fist"!
With a single punch from Luo Mio, 'Aki Dahaka's' arm was dented.
The scorching crimson flames, like twinkling stars, danced and swirled as Luo Mio unleashed her attack.
Then--
"Bang----!"
Luo Mio suddenly swung her right leg back and swept it across 'Aiki Dahaka'.
The scorching starlight streak followed Luo Mio's attack and then struck heavily on 'Aiki Dahaka's' arm.
'Aiki Dahaka's' arm was instantly kicked off, and the entire aircraft was also sent flying.
It then crashed violently into the ruins of the church.
Lux Kurokushifa couldn't help but slightly open their mouths when they saw this scene.
Even knowing that Luo Mio could physically defeat the Phantom Beast, the current strength of 'Aigi Dahaka' is far beyond that of Gargoyle and Diablos.
Moreover, it absorbed Bahamut's "Gluttony" and Fafnir's "Wise Blood" divine abilities, as well as the energy of two Divine Machine Dragons.
Luo Mio looked calmly at Bozelido and then slowly said.
"So that's how it is. It's because of their own negative emotions that they were assimilated by 'Honkai Energy'."
As Bozelido slowly rose from the ruins, the purple markings all over his body had become even more numerous, including those on the body of 'Aiki Dahaka'.
Chapter Twenty-One: The 'Warrior' Who Dared to Absorb the Power of the 'Finality'!
Luo Mio looked at 'Aiki Dahaka' who stood up from the ruins of the church.
Just as Luo Mio Ling said, the current Bozelido and his Divine Machine Dragon 'Aigi Dahaka' have been assimilated and infected by 'Honkai Energy'.
Initially, the 'Honkai Energy' released by Luo Mio would only slowly erode Bozelido like a virus, until he turned into a corpse.
However, now, because of the 'Thousand Illusions,' Bozelido has seized the power of two divine weapons, as well as the mechanical dragon energy of Kurokushifa and Eltirize.
Furthermore, the 'Honkai Energy' was completely drawn out by Bozelido's overwhelming negative emotions, causing the 'Honkai Energy' to begin frantically eroding and devouring the dragon energy that 'Thousand Illusions' had seized.
This also led to Bozelido assimilating with 'Aigi Dahaka' and 'Honkai Energy'.
Now, Bozelido has begun to completely assimilate into the direction of 'Shiit', while 'Aigi Dahaka' is moving towards becoming a 'Honkai Beast'.
Bozelido calmed down slightly after Luo Mio's attack.
A hint of calm appeared in his eyes, which had been filled with madness.
Upon raising his eyes and seeing Luo Mio, Bozelido revealed an extremely arrogant and conceited smile.
"What? Is Instructor Bianca trying to save them both?"
Luo Mio looked at him calmly, without answering his words.
As Bozelido looked at Luo Mio's exquisite face, his crazed expression was filled with a hint of desire, a desire called 'lust'!
At the same time, due to his current mental state, the rate at which 'Honkai Energy' assimilates and erodes him is even faster.
Seeing his current condition, Luo Mio gently shook her head.
It's likely that before long, Bozelido's spirit will be completely eroded and devoured by the 'Honkai Energy,' and then... his consciousness will dissipate, turning him into a monster that only knows how to kill.
Meanwhile, Bozelido burst into laughter at Luo Mio's expression.
