Two figures surrounded by flames advanced through the corridor, and the deadly toxins were burned to almost nothingness by the Honkai energy.
Luo Lin and Fu Hua finally decided to let Kiana, Raiden Mei, and the other girls stay where they were for the time being. They collected some equipment from the dead enemies and fortified their position in the advantageous terrain of the warehouse, awaiting reinforcements.
After all, the captured girls had just experienced a battlefield escape experience. Both their physical and mental strength had been greatly tested. They were now unable to walk any further, and forcibly moving them would take far more time than imagined.
It would be better for Luo Lin and Fu Hua to directly charge out and employ a decapitation tactic against the pseudo Herrscher, then come back after dealing with that person and take the rested girls out...
Fu Hua asked with some concern, "Is it really okay to leave Kiana alone there to defend...?"
"Don't underestimate Kiana; she has strong combat talent," Luo Lin replied. "I left her with plenty of weapons and ammunition. Even if a large number of Honkai beasts come, she should be able to hold out for a while with those things... at least it's not a problem for her to escape with the others."
Just now, Luo Lin retrieved a large number of weapons, ammunition, medicines, and even food supplies from the system space.
Then, the Valkyrie quickly treated the injuries of the girls and delivered an inspiring speech to them with a serious expression.
Listening to the speech, Fu Hua felt somewhat familiar, and then she realized that it was Otto's speech to the Valkyries, but modified by Luo Lin.
The anxious girls gradually calmed down, gazing at Luo Lin, even feeling that the Valkyrie was emitting a glimmer of hope.
In fact, Luo Lin was indeed "shining" at that moment—she actively used her special physique to spread feelings of determination and peace.
This was not only to comfort the girls but also to assist Raiden Mei and Kiana in suppressing the impulses of the Herrschers.
The result was gratifying; Raiden Mei's previously furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and Kiana also appeared to be more lively—Senti monitored the whole process and finally stated that the mental state of the two had indeed improved somewhat.
Thinking of this, Luo Lin revealed a subtle smile. "Of course, I also left a back-up plan with Kiana... but I hope I won't need to use this back-up plan."
The girls looked at their formation list, and the avatar of "Valkyrie - Accipiter" was blinking, indicating that someone was using this character card.
Of course, it was our cutest Senti!
"Huh, why am I thinking about helping Luo Lin do this kind of thing... it's just a freely usable body, I don't care about this kind of thing..."
Senti lowered her head, looking at the somewhat distinctive blue training suit, feeling a bit annoyed as she clenched her fist.
The protective gloves she received earlier while following "Valkyrie - Accipiter" had been thrown aside by Senti, and she conjured up a handy pair of gloves using her Herrscher ability.
If Luo Lin could see these gloves, she would probably be very happy to call them the "Domain of Sentience."
But Senti herself didn't care much about the names of weapons and such. She was now squatting in a corner of the warehouse, watching Kiana and Raiden Mei from a distance.
Senti's task was not only to protect Kiana and Raiden Mei but also to monitor their mental states.
With Senti's ability, she could pull people into illusions or knock them unconscious when the two small ones couldn't control their destructive impulses.
"The situation here is fine. You hurry up and take out that pseudo Herrscher, then come back and watch yourself!"
Feeling the information coming through the mental link, Luo Lin swung her sword faster.
"The pseudo Herrscher is moving, it seems to be coming towards us!" Fu Hua warned, "Be careful!"
"Perfect timing! I'm afraid she'll escape!"
A pseudo Herrscher capable of releasing terrifying toxins, if she hides and employs guerrilla tactics in a cunning manner, even the strongest Schicksal force, Durandal, would be greatly troubled.
Fortunately, this "Poison Vine Woman" didn't do that, perhaps because she had purple hair and was infected with the swelling power from the 6-cored pufferfish out of nowhere—After obtaining sufficient Honkai supply, Yuna brought her newly acquired Honkai beasts to trouble Fu Hua.
The pseudo Herrscher accompanied by a large group of minions looked quite imposing.
At the forefront was Luo Lin's old friend, the Templar Honkai Beast. The Vermillion Knight couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The girl slightly lowered her body, skillfully transferring all her strength to the Mimicry Cleaver of Shamash.
The crimson greatsword turned into a phantom and accurately slashed at the shield, accompanied by a crisp sound, the white shield shattered into pieces, revealing the true body of the Honkai beast.
Immediately after, the Cleaver of Shamash whistled past, leaving a clear "X"-shaped trail in the air, cutting the Templar Honkai Beasts into several pieces.
In an instant, Luo Lin took out this Templar Honkai Beast.
Mainly because the girl had previously chopped countless Templar Honkai Beasts during the chaos in the Memorial Arena and the battle with the Herrscher of the Void, and this set of procedures had almost become muscle memory, making it easy to handle.
The Vermillion Knight performed so effortlessly that it naturally caught the attention of the pseudo Herrscher, who muttered in surprise, "Who are you again?! Are you that guy's companion... never mind, just die all of you!"
The pseudo Herrscher, enhanced by Honkai, launched a more ferocious attack with her vines. Her Honkai beasts also launched coordinated attacks.
More importantly, the pseudo Herrscher also specifically manipulated several vines to spray venom and toxic gas at Luo Lin and Fu Hua.
With the enhancement of Honkai, the danger of these venom and toxic gas escalated to a higher level. Even flames couldn't deal with them instantly.
The girl could even see a bright yellow bar called "Poison Accumulation" appearing in their field of vision, increasing rapidly with time.
Luo Lin: "?"
[The pseudo Herrscher's toxins are spreading all around. Switching characters and causing damage can reduce the poison accumulation value of background characters.]
[When the poison accumulation value reaches its maximum, the Valkyrie will continue to receive high damage.]
Wow, a boss with a new mechanic!?
Are you going to join the Memorial Arena too?!
