Just as Luo Chen raised his sword to parry the attack, a spatial portal appeared in front of him and pulled him inside. When he opened his eyes again, Luo Chen found himself in an unfamiliar space.
The surrounding space was a dark red, with cubes of all sizes floating in this desolate place. The Hyperion beneath his feet did not dim in this bleak space, and the whole space was in an extremely eerie atmosphere.
Benares vanished into thin air, and apart from Luo Chen, there was no one else in the Hyperion; the surrounding environment could only be described as deathly silent.
"Cirin, come out, I know you're here."
Luo Chen sliced off a cube on the top of his head, revealing Xilin behind it. She slowly walked down the stairs to stand opposite Luo Chen.
"Hehe, you're still so perceptive, Brother Luo Chen."
Laughter echoed through the space, and Xilin's ethereal voice rang out, emphasizing the words "Brother Luo Chen".
Luo Chen remained silent. Right now, his mind was completely focused on saving Kiana, and he didn't listen carefully to what Sirin was saying.
"It seems you're ready to face death."
Four different types of Honkai energy erupted from Luo Chen in succession, and the Jizo Mitsu Soul seemed to respond to them by emitting a red light.
"Ling, are you there?"
"I'm here, big brother."
Ling emerged from Jizo's Soul as a stream of light, dressed in white, with a ring of flames forming behind her, and floated obediently beside Luo Chen.
"sorry to bother you."
"No trouble at all. Since you're my older brother, I'll definitely help."
Ling held out her right hand, and a portion of the flame in the ring was drawn out, forming a katana that Ling held in her hand.
"It's laughable that the losers of a pre-civilization would stand with ants."
Xilin's smile widened, her disdain undisguised, confident that these two could not pose a threat to her.
"Didn't anyone tell you to be mindful of the consequences of your words?"
Ling instantly attacked Xilin, deflecting the aerial spears along the way as if they were toys, and her katana slashed towards Xilin with unstoppable force.
Xilin retreated, waved her hand, and a powerful repulsive force forced Ling back half a step. She then threw out several more aerial spears.
Luo Chen quietly approached Ling, knocked down the Ya Kong spear, and inquired about Ling's condition.
"I'm fine, but my current state can't last much longer; it'll probably disappear in about half a minute."
"why?"
Luo Chen didn't understand. His Honkai energy was more than enough to support Ling's consumption, but he clearly felt that Ling's Honkai energy was not as strong as when it first appeared. It should be a matter of time.
"I can't explain it clearly either, but big brother, we need to end the battle quickly."
Chapter 129 The Last Battle
Ling and Luo Chen attacked Xilin from the left and right, slashing at her neck with two knives, which she blocked with her Ya Kong spear.
"You really want to kill me that badly? Even so, you'll still kill Kiana."
Xilin looked at the scales on Luo Chen's face and laughed wildly. She used her Sky Spear to repel the two of them and floated back into the sky.
"You look ridiculous right now."
Luo Chen's pupil was almost completely red. Now he felt an unnamed rage welling up inside him, wanting to tear Xilin in front of him apart.
The long sword approached Xilin's neck once again. Xilin raised her hand to repel Luo Chen, and her expression changed from disdain to solemnity.
She realized that Luo Chen really wanted to kill her, and given his current state, Xilin felt that she might not be able to defeat him, so she put away her playful attitude and took Luo Chen seriously.
Luo Chen swung his sword again, and before Ling could react, he was already beside Xilin.
Ling noticed that something was wrong with Luo Chen and rushed forward to stop him, but was slapped away.
"Brother Chen!"
Ling stomped her feet in anger, and at the same time remembered that this seemed to be a side effect of his condition; Chen had taken a long time to control it back then. Shouldn't it work this time too?
"Never mind, I'm probably useless now anyway."
Ling watched as Luo Chen, who was locked in a fierce battle with Xilin, felt she could finally slack off. Regardless of how much time she had left, she decided to return to the Jizo Soul and go to sleep ahead of time.
Luo Chen slashed Xi Lin's arm with his sword, and blood flowed from the wound that was half the size of her arm. Xi Lin groaned in pain.
Luo Chen followed up with a vertical slash, aiming to sever Xilin's arm. Xilin hurriedly teleported away, leaving behind a Void Spear that exploded the moment it was struck.
Sirin used Honkai energy to heal her wounds quickly, but she still felt the real pain, and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.
As Luo Chen charged forward again, Xilin waved her hand, and a powerful repulsive force sent Luo Chen flying. Xilin clasped her hands together, and two cubes appeared above and below Luo Chen, then slammed down on him, pinning him between them.
A half-body Susanoo appeared, its two arms supporting the cube above, where Luo Chen stood, his eyes regaining their clarity.
"Does this stuff have these side effects?"
Luo Chen shook his head, recalling how his mind had been filled with murderous intent just now, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Shattering the cube above his head, Luo Chen spread his arms wide, and the complete Susanoo stood in the space, flames extending from his palms and finally solidifying into twin blades.
Sirin flew to the height of Susanoo's head, level with Luo Chen. Sirin snapped her fingers, and all the nearby cubes crashed into Susanoo, attempting to control its movements.
Susanoo raised his sword, cleaving the cubes in front of him in two, while his wings forcefully held them back. Susanoo sheathed his sword, unleashing a ring of blades that destroyed all the cubes, then flapped his wings and flew towards Sirin.
"Hmph, just struggling."
Sirin's wings of light extended from behind her, slashing at Susanoo's wrists and severing Susanoo's hands before striking towards his head.
Luo Chen flew out of Susanoo, placed his long sword at his waist, used his sword-drawing technique to cut the light band, and lightning flashed on his body as he flew towards Sirin at an even faster speed.
The wings of light behind Sirin converged and formed a spear that pierced through Luo Chen's body.
"That's it?"
As soon as Xilin finished speaking, she saw Luo Chen rushing towards her along the spear, his long sword turning into a gauntlet, and his fist, crackling with lightning, smashing into Xilin's face.
A cube appeared out of thin air in front of Xilin, blocking Luo Chen's fist for her, and then she used the Void Spear to force him back.
Luo Chen jumped onto a cube, panting heavily. His body was nearing its limit, and he could feel the side effects of the drug kicking in; the Honkai energy was already showing signs of disorder.
We need to hurry.
Luo Chen sighed, combed his bangs back, and the crimson in his right eye faded, revealing his golden pupil again.
"Aren't you nearing your limit?"
Xilin sensed that Luo Chen's Honkai energy was not as strong as before, and knew that he was like a spent arrow, about to be exhausted.
Countless cubes, guided by Sirin, crashed down on Luo Chen, accompanied by the Void Spear and lightning bolts, all pouring out at once.
Luo Chen walked slowly towards Xilin, slashing down the cube and the Void Spear with his sword, while deflecting the falling lightning with his own lightning.
"Ha, now it's my turn to say that."
Luo Chen stopped not far from Xi Lin, gave a self-deprecating laugh, raised his knife and pointed it at Xi Lin, looking at this person who was both familiar and unfamiliar to him with a serious expression.
"Your attack is over, right? Now it's my turn, no objections, right?"
"Hahaha! You think you can take me on?!"
Sirin covered one eye and laughed loudly, raising one hand horizontally. Countless spatial gates appeared around Luo Chen, and the Void Spears, carrying different types of Honkai energy, shot towards Luo Chen.
Susanoo appeared, blocking the first wave of sub-space spears. Luo Chen's longsword transformed into a greatsword, flames coiling around its blade and illuminating his face.
Luo Chen gripped the sword hilt with both hands and swung it forcefully, shattering all the sub-space spears with terrifying destructive power.
Amidst the blazing flames, Luo Chen released Susanoo, dragging his greatsword as he quickened his pace. Gazing at Sirin's indifferent face, he recalled his past with Kiana.
"It's all in vain."
The cube reappeared, and this time Luo Chen was caught off guard and was knocked backward, rolling several times before stopping.
"How is it possible that we can't even hide?"
The side effects of the drug kicked in, and Luo Chen felt as if the Honkai energy in his body was being suppressed, now only a quarter of what it used to be, but that was enough.
Luo Chen stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His armor had several holes in it, and some functions were forced to shut down due to the damage.
The scales on his face disappeared, revealing a deathly pale face. Luo Chen gripped the greatsword in one hand and the God-Slaying Spear in the other, preparing for his final attack.
"Kiana, even though you might not hear me now, I still want to complain a bit."
Luo Chen dragged the greatsword as he ran, smiling at Xilin, which only fueled Xilin's anger. She quickened her movements and slammed the cube down on Luo Chen's head.
"Although you are usually carefree and often mess things up, I still like your personality."
With a swing of the greatsword, cubes fell from either side of Luo Chen, and Xilin added a few more.
"Why! Why are you so gentle and kind to them, but so cold to me!"
Xilin shouted and threw the cube at Luo Chen like a madwoman. Then she condensed the light wings into a spear, pushed forward with both hands, and the spear pierced through the air at a speed that cut through the air.
"You always keep saying you want to surpass me, defeat me, and take Mei back. Although you haven't accomplished any of those things."
Luo Chen leaped up, landed, and slashed down hard, causing a pillar of fire to erupt from the ground, engulfing the cube and disappearing completely. After landing, Luo Chen followed up with a horizontal slash, forcefully knocking the spear away before continuing forward.
Seeing Luo Chen getting closer and closer, Xilin threw out another cube, which exploded when it got close to Luo Chen, but he was able to pass through it by using his ethereal ability.
"And another thing, you also said you wanted me to witness you become an S-class Valkyrie, but that may not be the case."
Luo Chen gritted his teeth, gathered all the remaining Honkai energy in his body onto the greatsword, and launched a final attack.
Xilin glared fiercely at Luo Chen, then threw a black ball into her hand. The ball dissipated into black mist in front of Luo Chen, corroding his body.
