My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Luo Chen didn't care about anything else. He swung his sword at Anna with the back of the blade, knocking her back.

Anna's eyes were clouded with gloom, and she stood there like a mindless puppet, constantly urging Honkai energy to create ice spikes and throw them at Luo Chen.

"Chen Tianwu is really good at keeping his composure."

Luo Chen muttered to himself as he darted through the falling ice spikes at incredible speed, while also using his bow and arrows to distract Anna.

Mei had been watching from the sidelines the whole time. Luo Chen was less of a fighter and more of a toy with Anna. From the moment he met her until now, Luo Chen had never used his full strength.

Mei stepped forward to help Luo Chen, but when she saw Luo Chen turn around and give her a relieved look, it was clear that he wanted her not to interfere.

"If you don't want to get involved, then don't get involved."

Mei sighed softly and looked back at the ice wall. Logically speaking, so much time has passed, Bianca and the others should have arrived by now. Why is there no movement at the ice wall?

"Tarantula, watch out for Night Owl! He just knocked me unconscious, and he stole the Seven Thunders of Purification."

Luo Chen heard Raven's weak voice coming through the earpiece. He dodged an ice spike with a sidestep and a knowing look appeared on his face. It seemed that Night Owl couldn't hold back any longer.

A red light suddenly appeared on the ground where Mei was standing. Luo Chen knew without a doubt that this was the Staff of the Underworld. It seemed that this thing could only be used against Herrschers, otherwise why would Night Owl not use it on him?

Luo Chen teleported to Mei's side, grabbed her arm and threw her out, then teleported out himself and caught Mei steadily.

"Sorry, teleportation can't take people with you, this is the only way."

Luo Chen apologized to Mei Yi, raised his hand and burned away the flying ice spikes, and a lightning bolt struck his hand.

By evading the lightning bolts, Luo Chen locked onto the Night Owl's location and slashed at it with his sword. The wall collapsed with a crash, revealing the Night Owl hiding inside.

"Chen Tianwu, do you not know how to use the Staff of the Underworld? Why is it so slow to activate?"

Ignoring Luo Chen's taunts, Night Owl slowly walked up to Anna with the Seven Thunders of Purification in hand, the dark muzzle of the gun pointed at Mei. He knew that Luo Chen could definitely dodge it, but Mei might not be so lucky.

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen's face instantly darkened. It was one thing if Night Owl was pointing a gun at him, but at Mei? Sorry, young man, you've chosen the wrong path.

"I placed a high-concentration Honkai energy reactor near Schicksal's stronghold. Those S-ranks should have already returned to their defense camp."

Night Owl said weakly, dealing with the two in front of him was already troublesome enough, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"Luo Chen, I know you're not someone to be trifled with, but could you please spare Anna's life?"

Staying next to Anna, Night Owl felt his body temperature drop even further. Some parts of his mechanical body might be frozen, and he had lost all feeling in his right hand.

"Your actions are not enough for me to let you go."

Night Owl knew that Luo Chen was referring to him pointing a gun at Mei, but this was only out of necessity. He dared not gamble on Luo Chen's attitude towards Anna.

"I'm sorry, but I have to do this."

Night Owl sighed heavily, glanced at Anna, and said with utmost sincerity, "I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just want to take Anna away from here."

Mei watched Night Owl from behind Luo Chen. Everything he had done made Mei feel a little sorry for him, and at the same time, she was curious about what Luo Chen would do.

"She's already a Herrscher, even so, you still want to save her?"

Luo Chen said coldly, although it sounded strange coming from his own mouth, since he had also risked his life for a few Herrschers.

"I think you know the answer better than I do."

Night Owl looked at Mei behind Luo Chen. The two groups were so similar, but Luo Chen had the power to save Mei, while Chen Tianwu did not.

Luo Chen remained silent for a long time, then put away the Jizo Soul as if he had given up, his voice sounding so indifferent.

"Half an hour. I'm only giving you half an hour. If you can't wake Anna by then, don't blame me."

Chapter 205 Heartbroken

"You're willing to let us go?"

Night Owl clearly didn't quite believe Luo Chen's words, fearing that Luo Chen was just trying to deceive him and would make his move when he relaxed his guard.

"Believe it or not, Mei, let's go."

Luo Chen didn't even glance at Night Owl before turning to leave. Mei nodded and followed Luo Chen, disappearing from Night Owl's sight together.

"Chen, are we just leaving like this?"

"We should always leave people with something to remember us by."

Luo Chen put his arm around Mei's waist and carried her over the ice wall, strolling through this icy world.

“Anna is different from you. She was chosen by the Honkai Will, while you, Bronya, and Kiana are artificial beings. The two are clearly different.”

"So Anna's condition is basically beyond recovery. When I said I'd give Night Owl half an hour, it was just to leave him with a glimmer of hope."

As Luo Chen said this, there was actually one more thing he didn't say: in order for Night Owl to successfully become the Herrscher of Rock, Anna, who was being controlled by the Honkai Will, had to be killed to ensure that nothing unexpected happened.

'The Herrscher of Rock is just as dangerous as the Restraint; we have to use a bug to disable him.'

Luo Chen stopped and, sensing that Night Owl had already left with Anna, pulled Mei back to where they had been.

"Chen, why are we back again?"

"Looking for something."

Luo Chen ran to the spot where the owl had first appeared, crouched down, and searched for something in the snow. After a while, he picked up a black box with a grin.

"what is this?"

"The Staff of the Underworld. Night Owl just tried to use this to sever your connection with the imaginary space, but he failed."

Logically speaking, the Staff of the Underworld should be an instant cast, but why does it seem like Night Owl is half a beat slow when he uses it?

'Never mind, I'll give it to Mei first.'

"Mei, try to analyze this thing. The principle behind the Staff of the Underworld suppressing the Herrscher's Honkai energy lies in the interference of electromagnetic fields. You can refer to this to enhance your control over your powers."

"it is good."

Mei took the wreckage and began to analyze the principles behind it on her own, while Luo Chen used the terminal to communicate with Raven, asking her to come over.

"Where's Night Owlman? And where are the Herrschers?"

The first thing Raven did upon arriving was to inquire about Night Owl's whereabouts. She wasn't interested in the reasons for his betrayal; all she knew was that if the Seven Thunders of Purification were lost, she would be finished.

"He left with the Herrscher of Ice."

"You didn't stop him?"

Why should I stop you?

Luo Chen shrugged. Raven was bewildered by his attitude. He just let the traitor escape with the mission objective. Wasn't he afraid Kevin would blame him?

"Don't worry, we won't let them run for too long."

Luo Chen reassured Raven that when Mei was analyzing the Staff of the Underworld, he deliberately walked a distance in the direction Night Owl had left. The ice sculptures along the way seemed to be afraid that he wouldn't know the way, stretching all the way into the distance.

"Aren't the chosen ones with you?"

Raven glanced at the Staff of the Underworld in Mei's hand. It had only been used once and was no longer useful. However, she had heard Luo Chen say that it would be helpful to Mei, although she herself was not interested in it.

"They've returned to camp, and Schicksal's main purpose in coming here was to evacuate the survivors and search for their missing squad. Killing Herrschers to obtain their cores is a matter for our World Serpent, and I don't want to bother them unless absolutely necessary."

"It's time, let's go."

"These are... ice sculptures?"

The three of them headed to the location where Night Owl and the other person were. Mei looked at the ice sculptures along the way, as if she was trying to express something.

"Don't you think this ice sculpture looks familiar?"

"These ice sculptures... look like the Herrscher of Ice."

Mei looked at the face of one of the ice sculptures, which was almost identical to Anna's, and wondered why she would do such a thing.

"Tarantula, do you know why Night Owl took the Herrscher of Ice with him?"

"He's just troubled by love."

Luo Chen smiled and explained Chen Tianwu and Anna's past to Raven. When talking about their promise, he sighed, "It's a pity that the promise was not fulfilled in the end."

"why?"

"Chen Tianwu also had a younger sister named Chen Tianwen, who sacrificed herself in the Marani Collapse. Anna, fearing the Collapse and death, ran away when faced with the trapped Chen Tianwen, which indirectly led to her death."

After hearing their story, Mei felt a little down. What would Owl think if he knew about it?

"How do you know this?"

Raven wasn't so sentimental; she'd seen plenty of tragedies, and even her own past was a tragedy. She was more interested in how Luo Chen knew such detailed information.

"Do you think I would tell you?"

Luo Chen glanced at the raven. Lying was too easy to be exposed. It was more fun to be a riddle teller.

Raven shrugged. It's better not to delve too deeply into these things; knowing too much is bad for your life.

"Brother Luo Chen, how's it going over there?"

Bianca connected to Luo Chen's headset and asked about their status. Luo Chen was stunned for a moment. This thing was for the World Serpent's exclusive use. How did Bianca manage to contact him?

"Wait, Bianca, how did you get in touch with me?"

"Yalvit has hacked into your terminal."

Bianca chuckled. She had just been struggling with how to contact Luo Chen when, a second later, Yalvette told her that she had hacked into Luo Chen's terminal.

"Never mind."
