All my hunting commissions come from another world?

But the Thunder Dragon's advance did not stop there. This monster, which was already fearless and dared to roar at even an ancient dragon, would not back down at this moment. The Herrscher of Thunder's attack further fueled the ferocity within the Thunder Dragon.

At this moment, Thunder Dragon also noticed that in this area, besides itself, there was another [overlord]-like existence, namely the Herrscher of Thunder suspended high in the sky.

At the top of its ecological niche, after evolving once more, it would not allow anything else to step on its head, let alone something that was filled with the special energy that it coveted.

The amount of that energy was greater than the total amount of Honkai energy it had previously absorbed.

The two now regard each other as enemies who must be killed, and the leader of Changkong City can only be the one who is ...

Meanwhile, amidst the ruins, Zhou Si, clad in another invisibility cloak, watched the Herrscher of Thunder and the Thunder Dragon not far away.

He revealed a knowing look on his face.

Chapter Nineteen: Hunters and Rangers

At the edge of a ruin, two figures clad in invisibility cloaks crouched together, cautiously peeking out to watch the fierce battle between the dragon and the herald in the distance.

Lightning burst forth across the sky, and blue-purple flowers of death scattered across the battlefield. Every now and then, one or two unlucky souls would be struck by lightning and turn into ashes in the next second.

The evolution of that Tigrex was somewhat beyond Zhou Si's imagination. He thought that even if it could briefly contend with the Herrscher of Thunder, it wouldn't last long.

Unexpectedly, they've managed to go toe-to-toe with the Herrscher of Thunder.

"Damn it, bastard!"

The Herrscher of Thunder felt even more aggrieved, as if the monster in front of her had been created specifically to target her.

Her prized lightning bolts were hard to harm the monster; most of the electricity was absorbed by its azure scales. In addition, the monster could even use the lightning to attack her.

Although it was of no use, it was undoubtedly a great humiliation for the Herrscher of Thunder who controlled electromagnetic forces!

As for why the Herrschers who control electromagnetic forces only use their abilities to discharge electricity, I can only say that the Honkai's cultural level is indeed somewhat lacking, at least for now.

The dragon's eyes had turned blood red. With a roar filled with endless rage, the powerful impact completely flattened the surrounding buildings. Lightning-filled clouds rose around its body, and the scales on its claws, which could easily tear the earth apart, gradually cracked, with even more violent lightning surging out from the cracks.

The dragon chariot, accompanied by azure lightning, charged toward the Herrscher of Thunder with unstoppable force, leaving only a charred trail in its wake.

Herrscher of Thunder's expression changed drastically. The lightning of the Thunder Dragon was nothing more than a decoration that could be easily dispelled by her, but the ferocious claws of that mad dragon could easily tear her to pieces, even though her physical strength had already been enhanced to a level far beyond that of humans by Honkai energy.

But compared to the ferocious beast before them, it was still far too childish.

The electric current propelled her body to dodge the dragon's charge. Before the dragon could turn around, the Herrscher of Thunder raised her right hand and pointed at the monster.

A massive surge of electricity erupted once more, but after the thunderous roar, a whooshing sound followed as a small section of steel bar, accompanied by lightning, pierced through the Thunder Dragon's wing in an instant.

She finally realized that she could do more than just discharge electricity; did getting beaten really make her stronger?

Zhou Si silently thought to himself, "I thought the caged bird just wanted to beat me up. It seems I misunderstood it."

"Zhou Si, preparations for the Third Herrscher Armed 2.0 are complete. When do we make our move?"

"Don't rush, wait a little longer."

Zhou Si was still observing the battle between the Herrscher of Thunder and the Thunder Dragon, and he was also observing the movement habits of the Thunder Dragon and the Herrscher of Thunder.

He wasn't afraid to fight powerful enemies; in fact, his experience in the New World was a textbook example of the weak defeating the strong. But he relied on more than just his cheat ability; in the perilous New World, his physical abilities alone were far from sufficient.

Extraordinary patience.

Meticulous observation skills.

Sufficient prior preparation.

In addition, his body, a gift from heaven, is the reason he has been able to get to where he is today.

As Lone Bird wrote in the concluding remarks of his report to the Hunter's Guild.

Zhou Si is a hunter born with talent.

"That thunder dragon did not completely absorb the Herrscher of Thunder's lightning. Apart from the portion it released, it was actually injured."

"It's just that because of the body's excessive strength, it hasn't had a significant impact for the time being."

Even though this Tigrex has evolved into its current form, its attack methods are not much different from the original Tigrex. It still uses the two main attacks: roar and charge. However, unlike before, these attacks are now accompanied by terrifying lightning.

Getting shocked by that thing is no joke.

Moreover, the scales of the Tigrex were too strong to be penetrated by his greatsword. Fortunately, Ellie's arrows could barely damage the scales, but destroying the Tigrex's armor was still a problem.

As for the Herrscher of Thunder, she doesn't seem to be very bright. After such a long battle, she is still using low-damage lightning attacks on the Thunder Dragon, as if her brain can't think straight.

Although it seems to have found another way to attack, it is obviously not very proficient in using it. Compared to the Herrscher of Thunder, that Tigrex seems to have a higher intelligence.

For example, it has already begun to deliberately guide the attacks of the Thunder Master to kill the surrounding Honkai Beasts and then seize the Honkai energy from their bodies.

With his orange-yellow vertical pupils fixed on the battle, Zhou Si gradually began to refine the battle plan he had previously devised against the Thunder Dragon and the Herrscher of Thunder in his mind.

After relaying her thoughts to Ellie and receiving her affirmative reply, Zhou Si turned her gaze to Bai, who had just run back.

"Bai, is everything set up?"

"No problem, meow!"

Bai nodded affirmatively. Its snow-white fur stood up slightly under the influence of the electric current. The place it had just been in was very close to the battlefield area. Fortunately, neither the Herrscher of Thunder nor the Tigrex noticed it.

Having made all the necessary preparations, Zhou Si took a deep breath, his expression becoming resolute.

"Operation to subdue the Herrscher of Thunder and the special species Tigrex, now begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Si ripped off his invisibility suit, slung his greatsword over his shoulder, and rushed toward the battlefield.

A hint of worry flashed across Alicia's face. Although she knew that her friend from another world was exceptionally capable, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I was the one who was going to help first, but now it feels like the roles have completely reversed."

"But if Zhou Si is working so hard, I can't fall behind."

A slight smile appeared at the corner of the girl's eyes. Even standing amidst this apocalyptic scene, she had never felt afraid.

As the hunter's figure receded into the distance, Alicia gripped the longbow behind her and pulled a pink crystal arrow from the void with her right hand, nocking it onto the bowstring.

Zhou Si stood amidst the hellish sea of ​​thunder, drawing his already battered training greatsword from behind him.

Zhou Si held his sword in one hand, pointing it at the Herrscher and the monster in front of him. His heart pounded like thunder, providing him with a continuous source of power.

With her knees slightly bent, she leaped high into the air, and at the same time, Alicia released the bowstring that had been drawn out like a full moon.

A pink streak of light slashed across the Herrscher's body, and the broken greatsword cleaved open the giant beast's head.

At this moment, hunters and rangers joined the battle.

Chapter Twenty: Kidney Deficiency, Always After Overexertion

Zhou Si and Alicia's sudden attack caught them off guard. Although they didn't know the principle behind it, the invisibility cloak was much more effective than they had imagined.

The Herrscher of Thunder clutched her injured abdomen in disbelief. If she hadn't instinctively maintained the electromagnetic shield around her, that arrow would have been enough to rip a hole in her stomach.

The Thunder Dragon shook its head. Zhou Si's sword strike hadn't done any damage to it, but the powerful blow still made it feel a little dizzy.

"Damn ants! You..."

The Herrscher of Thunder glared angrily at the two of them, but before she could finish speaking, she saw Zhou Si not far away revealing a very healthy smile.

"Watch out for your eyes!"

As soon as Zhou Si finished speaking, he raised his hand and shot out a yellow unidentified flying object.

Before the Thunder Dragon and the Herrscher of Thunder could react, a blinding light burst forth from the unidentified flying object, and in that instant, the city, which was originally dark under the clouds, seemed to have a sun, dazzling and radiant.

Stimulated by the burst of light from the Flash Orb, both the Herrscher of Thunder and the Tigrex painfully closed their eyes.

Although caught off guard by a fully-fledged flash, this Herrscher dragon was clearly not stupid. Despite losing sight of her, she simultaneously launched an indiscriminate area attack on the surrounding area.

The terrifying lightning instantly destroyed everything around them. Zhou Si and Ai Li, as if they had expected it, had already moved far away, letting them unleash their boundless rage.

"It feels almost done."

Zhou Simo counted the duration of the Flash Orb while observing the changes in the attack intensity of the Thunder Dragon and the Herrscher of Thunder. At this moment, in order to prevent possible sneak attacks, they would probably unleash their full power, which was exactly what Zhou Simo and the others wanted.

"Start it up, Ellie."

Upon hearing Zhou Si's words, Alicia immediately pressed the mechanical button that was full of the Vilvi style.

The next moment, they heard a sound of something breaking, and then the whole world went silent.

Gunfire, artillery fire, the roars of Honkai Beasts, the shouts of warriors, thunder in the sky...

Apart from the attack by the Herald and the Beast in the center of the ruins, which had not yet ceased, all other sounds completely disappeared at this moment.

Zhou Si stared wide-eyed as he observed his surroundings. With eyesight comparable to that of a flying dragon, he could clearly see the space not far away that was distorted by some kind of force.

At this moment, there was a very slight sense of dislocation between the city center where they were and the area outside. Alicia shook the button in her hand triumphantly, as if she had created it herself.

"So, what do you think of Wilvi's invention?"

"Awesome."

Zhou Si nodded with complete conviction; anything produced by the Vervier Workshop was bound to be of high quality.

Regarding the Third Herrscher Armament 2.0, this equipment is not some kind of high-powered weapon. It is a product created by Velvet through her research on the Second Herrscher's core. It was not originally intended to be used as a weapon, but rather as a security measure.

Its function was to separate a space from the real universe for a short period of time, but because the function was not stable or durable enough, and the so-called security function had too many drawbacks, the project was stopped by the higher-ups of the Fire Moth.

However, while it may not be a very secure security measure, it is undoubtedly a highly strategic tool for combat.

Iron Man Arena...

"Then why was the project still suspended?"

Zhou Sigang was very curious when he learned the function of this prop.

The reason, of course, is that the cost is quite high and the preparation work is very complicated, requiring nodes to be set up in designated locations in advance.

But the most important reason is that the higher-ups of the Firemoth do not intend to allow Velvet, or rather, the people of Mebius's faction, to continue to hold the valuable Herrscher Core.

Although Mebius herself had no interest in their incompetent political struggles, some of them couldn't help but overthink things because Alicia and Velvey's group had all been in contact with her.

In short, due to many complex reasons, the piece they are launching now is a unique, one-of-a-kind item.

The original plan of the Fire Moth was to have ordinary soldiers set up nodes to lure away the Honkai Beasts, creating a perfect one-on-one environment for Alicia.

If Alicia can kill another Herrscher, then all will be well. If not, then Moth of Flame will have enough time to prepare and kill the unavoidable Third Herrscher the moment the device malfunctions.

But Zhou Si's appearance changed their original plans.

Although the Moths were completely unaware of this from beginning to end.

"Perfect, let me bury you all here."

The Herrscher of Thunder released her hand from her abdomen, where the wound had completely healed. She arrogantly pronounced the fate of Zhou Si and the others, but Zhou Si unexpectedly spoke up with a sarcastic remark.

"Lady, try showing off after you pass the human verification next time."

"You can't see any expression or emotion at all. My robot vacuum cleaner is more human-like than you."

Zhou Si's words stopped the Herrscher of Thunder's actions. At this moment, Alicia also realized that although the Third Herrscher was not as silent as her two predecessors, it was not difficult to see after observing for a while that she was just mechanically imitating human behavior and her thinking was very rigid.

She's no different from the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Void; at most, she just has an extra voice module.

Honkai is indeed evolving gradually, but the rate of evolution is not very fast at present.

As for Zhou Si's sudden remarks, they weren't just casual chatter. He noticed that the Thunder Dragon was watching her intently from behind the Third Herrscher.

They're preparing the dragon car now; that's why they say she's a human-machine interface.

Just as the Tigrex's claws were about to strike from behind, the Third Herrscher finally reacted, but at this moment she was facing not only the Tigrex's dragon charge.

The moment she turned around, Alicia's arrow was already released, and Zhou Si charged forward with his greatsword.

The three sandwiches filled with cheese put the Herrscher of Thunder in a dilemma, but a Herrscher is a Herrscher after all; they are beings that are like the embodiment of natural disasters.

Terrifying lightning once again appeared in this space, instantly shattering Ellie's arrow, and the Thunder Dragon was sent flying by a huge boulder.

As for Zhou Si, he noticed the Herrscher of Thunder's movements halfway through his run and immediately rolled to the side to dodge the Herrscher of Thunder's attack.

The Herrscher of Thunder still wanted to press her advantage. She waved her hand, trying to summon lightning again, but what happened next made her face show a human-like expression for the first time.

The lightning bolt, which was originally as thick as a bucket, shot out as if it were underdeveloped, and then landed weakly on the ground in front of Zhou Si.

At this moment, the Herrscher of Thunder finally realized something was wrong. Why was her Honkai energy recovering so slowly?

Slow? Slow is the right way!
