The newcomer was none other than Yunduo, who had just been observing the situation from the transport plane.
She had noticed something was wrong just now, so she rushed over directly.
It seemed there was still time.
Yunduo, transformed into the Skyfire Wanderer, stood calmly before Yuna.
This was her first time using the Character Card since obtaining it from the last challenge.
Currently, her exclusive Honkai Energy wasn't very sufficient; using the Double-S Skyfire Wanderer along with the Void Drifter and Michelangelo set, she could only last for about twenty minutes.
Therefore, she needed to end the battle quickly!
"Sister Yunduo."
Bronya saw this outfit and unconsciously called out in a low voice.
With her here, the three of them would definitely be saved.
"What, you're their reinforcement? You, all of you, hypocritical people, don't pull this crap in front of me!"
Yuna was frantic and furious, her eyes losing their human sanity as her entire being was eroded by Honkai, emitting a terrifying red light. She took flight, and rapidly moving vines whipped up withered leaves from the ground, launching an attack toward Yunduo.
As a Mimic Herrscher evolved from school bullying, she hated fake emotions the most and wished she could tear these people to shreds.
Swish!
In an instant, countless thorny vines erupted from the ground, turning into massive whips. Honkai Energy gathered in the vines, forming a deadly toxin; even an S-Rank Valkyrie wouldn't dare take this whip strike head-on.
In this moment of peril, Yunduo held her breath, a golden light flashed in her hand, and a massive Spear of the Void appeared.
She didn't try to dodge on purpose; instead, she dashed forward rapidly, her target being the Mimic Herrscher Yuna!
"Imaginary Thorns!"
Yunduo held the Spear of the Void, terrifying energy condensing at the tip, easily piercing through all the vines blocking her advance.
Continuous Slashes!
The branch skill of the Skyfire Wanderer possessed powerful might!
The deadly weapon of the Herrscher of the Void, the Spear of the Void, stirred up golden light waves; every swing would cause ripples in the surrounding space!
Seeing this scene, the Mimic Herrscher Yuna was thrown into a panic. She could see the mysterious girl before her rushing toward her at a speed visible to the naked eye; there were only seconds of distance between them.
And all of her vine attacks were pierced by the weapon, serving almost no role in stopping her, not even delaying her for a second.
The toxic attacks that could knock out an S-Rank Valkyrie were nothing more than an itch in front of her!
As Yuna looked toward Kiana behind Yunduo, preparing to take a hostage, her sinister gaze was discovered by Yunduo.
"Want to catch my people?"
"In your dreams!"
Yunduo snorted coldly. Without even moving a step, she fired continuously with her dual guns. The gushing bullets were like an airtight wall, locking down the Mimic Herrscher's sneak attack.
Space Distortion!
A small black hole flickered at the school gate, and all surrounding vegetation was firmly sucked in, naturally including the vines racing across the ground from the Mimic Herrscher.
"You... damn it all—!"
In an instant, the Mimic Herrscher Yuna was on the verge of madness. She couldn't understand why this girl could easily block all her attacks.
In reality, a Mimic Herrscher was not a true Herrscher; her strength was barely comparable to an S-Rank Valkyrie, and facing an outstanding one, she would even fall into a disadvantage.
The reason Theresa was poisoned was mainly due to carelessness, not taking her seriously.
"Theresa was rescued by someone, wasn't she?"
"You are of no use anymore." Yunduo stared coldly, her form turning into a bolt of lightning as her body slowly began to charge power, erupting with Herrscher power.
"Void Impact!"
This was the ultimate skill of the Skyfire Wanderer, capable of easily crushing an Emperor-Level Honkai Beast into powder.
In a fraction of a second, Yunduo's eyes instantly turned a golden color of absolute rationality, as dazzling as a deity.
Time-Space Lock!
In an instant, time seemed to stagnate, and everything became slow.
The Mimic Herrscher Yuna watched the anomalies around her and Yunduo's rushing figure with wide eyes. She struggled with all her might, but could only move her eyeballs, unable to escape.
"Herrscher... why? Why have you betrayed Honkai?"
The Mimic Herrscher Yuna couldn't understand why, as an agent of Honkai in the human world, she would instead help those hypocritical humans to attack a fellow Herrscher like herself.
"Of course you wouldn't understand!"
Yunduo smiled slightly and spoke softly to the Mimic Herrscher who was completely controlled by Honkai.
With that said, she prepared to deliver the final blow!
"Spear of the Void!"
Yunduo held the spear and leaped up, like a knight throwing a lance, piercing toward the incredulous Mimic Herrscher.
The sharp Spear of the Void easily melted the hard vines she held in front of her, evaporating the lethal toxins along with them.
Any obstruction was futile.
Both were Herrschers.
One was a walking corpse controlled by Honkai, while Yunduo, in the form of the Skyfire Wanderer, was a rational being who controlled Honkai.
The power that barely reached S-Rank Valkyrie level and the power of an SS-Rank Valkyrie were as different as clouds and mud.
The original high buildings of Chiba Academy were shrouded in vines, making it almost impossible for light to shine in.
Now, the golden light flickering from the Spear of the Void in Yunduo's hand was burning and dazzling, illuminating the dim interior and reflecting in the eyes of the Mimic Herrscher Yuna.
At the school gate, the trio who were about to retreat saw this scene.
Kiana's blurry eyes brightened a bit, her mouth slightly agape.
"So strong... if only I could have power like that." A look of envy appeared in her azure eyes.
"Is this Yunduo?!! She controlled this Herrscher in just a few moves."
As the 'cook,' Mei felt the greatest sense of contrast. Usually, Yunduo was lazy and relaxed, like a napping kitten with almost no aggressiveness, but once on the battlefield, her entire persona changed. Using the power obtained from the Challenge Space, her temperament was sharp and cold, especially toward enemies—it could be said she was merciless.
"Sister Yunduo is so amazing."
Bronya nodded in praise, just like when she saw her favorite Homu superstar.
Just as Yunduo launched her final blow, preparing to finish off the Mimic Herrscher Yuna.
She suddenly sensed something abnormal; her body felt as if it were shrouded in danger. Although it was slight, she could still feel it.
Yunduo narrowed her eyes as a brilliant cherry blossom petal brushed past her ear, its faint fragrance refreshing the heart.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed!
An attack from a third party abruptly appeared.
In front of Yunduo, a Tachi passed between the two, forcibly interrupting Yunduo's fatal blow.
The Spear of the Void stopped right before the Mimic Herrscher Yuna's eyes; it only needed to go forward another half-meter to pierce her.
And the person who ambushed her probably didn't expect Yunduo's attack to be so swift.
SS-Rank power was not something an ordinary person could easily withstand!
"Ugh~"
The ambusher let out a muffled groan, almost unable to hold the Tachi steady.
