Do you think this world is serious?

By noon, they had only covered about a third of the distance.

Just as Chen Xiuming was about to speed things up, Wendy, Alaya-vijnana, Kiana, and Janna all seemed to sense something and suddenly looked towards the end of the street.

"She is coming……"

Wendy murmured softly, almost as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

The wings around Alaya consciousness slowly unfurled, the enormous halo above its head began to rotate, and a dazzling magic circle appeared in its palm.

"A high-threat target detected. Alaya consciousness activates combat system - super-level magic deployed."

The Alaya consciousness seemed to be talking to itself, but in reality, it was using this method to warn Chen Xiuming of the approaching danger.

Chen Xiuming followed the girls' gaze to the end of the street, where a tall figure appeared and slowly walked towards them.

The girl's purple eyes shimmered with an eerie purple light, which even the midday sun could not conceal.

"I found you..."

The girl parted her lips slightly, and her murmured words, though dozens of meters away, clearly reached Chen Xiuming's ears.

Cecilia's expression turned serious, and she instinctively stepped in front of Chen Xiuming, while Moonlit Embrace pulled out her signature giant axe from somewhere.

Although the giant axe is no longer quite handy, she hasn't figured out a more suitable weapon type, so she'll continue using it for the time being.

After saying those words, the girl stopped talking, but she didn't quicken her pace either, maintaining a steady, unhurried speed as she approached Chen Xiuming and the others.

Cecilia and Luna Embrace had rather solemn expressions. It was their first time fighting a Herrscher, and Cecilia's first time facing a powerful human enemy.

Wendy stood to the side and slightly behind Chen Xiuming, looking unremarkable and showing no unusual behavior, yet she didn't reveal any fear, curious about what decision Chen Xiuming would make.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiuming made no move, quietly watching the girl approach.

When the distance between the two sides shrank to a dozen meters, Chen Xiuming also saw the semi-transparent light screen floating above the girl's head.

—【The Order of the Apocalypse: "Plague"】Levy.

After walking a dozen or so steps, Levi stopped and stopped approaching Chen Xiuming and the others.

Seeing Cecilia and Moonlit Embrace ready for battle, a maniacal smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

"The Honkai – must be completely isolated!"

"You are all the embodiment of [Honkai]!"

Not only was her smile manic, but Revy's mental state and words were also filled with a sense of madness.

Levi drew her silver flintlock pistol from her waist, wavered between Chen Xiuming, Wendy, Cecilia, and Moonlit Embrace for a few seconds, and finally aimed at Chen Xiuming.

The next moment, she pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Accompanied by a muffled gunshot, a bullet condensed from Honkai energy burst from the barrel, tearing through the air ahead and hurtling toward Chen Xiuming's forehead at a speed barely perceptible to the naked eye.

Cecilia flicked her finger, and a vine burst forth from the ground, lashing out at the incoming Honkai energy bullets.

Unfortunately, the vines were interrupted by a second Honkai energy bullet before they could hit the Honkai energy bullet.

The flintlock pistol in Levi's hand seemed to have no limit on ammunition; as long as the trigger was pulled, it would fire Honkai energy bullets.

Seeing that Cecilia's interception failed, Moonlit Embrace immediately swung its giant axe and accurately struck the Honkai energy bullet.

The giant axe cleaved the Honkai energy bullet in two with a crisp sound. However, the part of the axe blade that struck the Honkai energy bullet seemed to have been stained with ink, silently turning black. This caused Moonlit Embrace to unconsciously furrow her brows.

After that part of the axe blade was stained black, it broke free from the control of Moonlit Embrace.

Although it hadn't disappeared, in her perception, that part of the giant axe blade was missing.

"What a bizarre ability..."

Under the moonlight, they embraced and whispered softly, their gazes towards Levi now tinged with apprehension.

Seeing that the Honkai energy bullets were intercepted by the Moonlit Embrace, Revy did not make any further moves, seemingly sizing up Chen Xiuming and the others.

During this time, thick black mist drifted from under the gray-white long dress, spreading rapidly in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Wendy frowned. The black mist gave her a bad feeling, and she could vaguely sense a threat.

This was a new ability that Revy had never shown before, and it made Wendy feel uneasy.

At the end, Kiana turned to look at Chen Xiuming, remaining silent, yet seemingly asking him if she needed to suppress Revy or resolve the spreading black mist.

Chen Xiuming pondered for a second, then shook his head, silently declining the offer from Kiana.

Revy's abilities may seem strange, but they are actually an alternative form of the [Herrscher of Death] powers.

Depending on the user, the manifestation of a Herrscher's powers varies, but they often share some unchanging signature abilities. For example, the signature abilities of the Herrscher of Death are near-immortality, self-healing, and a thick black mist containing the power of death.

With Chen Xiuming and the others' strength, this black mist was not insurmountable.

Cecilia also possesses the power of death, and Chen Xiuming's [Saintess Power] can also suppress this black mist.

Chapter 194 Suppressing Levi.

As the black mist spread, strangely shaped black mist creatures materialized, staring menacingly at Chen Xiuming and the others.

When the black mist approached Chen Xiuming and the others within about five meters, it seemed to be restricted in some way. No matter how the black mist surged and spread, it could not get any closer.

Seeing this, Levi frowned slightly and turned her silver flintlock pistol to aim at Cecilia.

Although Cecilia appeared to be making no move, she could sense that the black mist was unable to approach Chen Xiuming and the others because of Cecilia. Therefore, as long as Cecilia was dealt with, the black mist could then properly envelop Chen Xiuming and the others.

Levi's thoughts raced, and her slender fingers had already pulled the trigger, causing the Honkai energy bullet to burst out of the silver-white barrel.

However, before the Honkai energy bullet could hit Cecilia, its flight speed slowed down continuously, and it soon hovered about one meter in the air in front of Chen Xiuming and the others.

Levi's calm expression could no longer be maintained, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.

"……what have you done?"

Levi didn't suppress her doubts and confusion, and directly voiced her questions.

Chen Xiuming did not answer, but snapped his fingers lightly, and a dozen golden chains materialized.

Chains formed solely from Honkai energy were unlikely to affect the black mist released by Revy, so Chen Xiuming mixed the [Saintess Power] into the Honkai energy, forming golden Honkai energy chains.

The Honkai energy chains containing the power of the Saintess can easily pierce through the black mist released by Revy, unlike the giant axe of Lunar Embrace, which is affected by Revy's Herrscher powers.

Levi was only a dozen steps away from Chen Xiuming and the others, within the range of Chen Xiuming's control over Honkai energy. The Honkai energy bullet from before was gradually slowed down by Chen Xiuming and eventually hovered in mid-air.

Although Revy is a "Herrscher", she is not a complete Herrscher, but rather a "pseudo-Herrscher". Neither her Herrscher powers nor her strength can compare to the complete [Herrscher of Death].

At least, Anila, who had been hiding in Chen Xiuming's shadow, did not react at all.

If Revy were truly the complete Herrscher of Death, Anila would never be so indifferent as she is now.

With Chen Xiuming's current strength, killing Levi is not difficult, but it will be troublesome and difficult, since even an incomplete "Herrscher of Death" has a near-immortal self-healing ability.

If Revy hadn't been able to unleash a large amount of black mist containing the power of death, she would have been nothing more than a slightly stronger "ant" in Wendy's eyes.

Although Wendy is an extremely powerful Herrscher of Wind, she cannot ignore the power of death originating from the Herrscher of Death.

The black mist containing the power of death can threaten Wendy, but it is only a "threat." It is not an easy thing to hurt Wendy.

As the "Herrscher of the Wind," Wendy's speed is naturally her strength. As long as she is not shrouded in black mist or has something on her hands that Revy can't use against her, she is basically impossible to be injured by Revy.

Although killing Revy will be troublesome and difficult, it doesn't mean that suppressing Revy will be troublesome. We can easily suppress her by using the power of the Saintess to suppress the Honkai energy in Revy's body.

“Cecilia, I'll handle Revy. You just make sure we don't get enveloped by this black mist. As for Theresa…”

Chen Xiuming glanced at the black mist creatures dwelling in the black mist and continued, "Those black mist creatures are yours to handle."

"Uh-huh!"

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong nodded vigorously, then stopped paying attention to Levi and turned her attention to the menacing black mist creatures around her.

Facing Revy, who fights by using a flintlock pistol and releasing black mist, Moonlit Embrace, whose fighting style leans towards close combat, really doesn't have much of an advantage. She might not even get close to Revy before being severely injured by the Honkai energy bullets fired from the flintlock pistol and the omnipresent black mist.

As for Cecilia, she lacks a suitable weapon, and her progress in learning magic has not yet reached the point where she can transform into a "magical girl".

……

Under Chen Xiuming's control, the golden Honkai energy chains were like flexible tentacles, or perhaps like insidious venomous snakes, agile and cunning, always able to attack Revy from various angles.

To increase the threat of the Honkai energy chains, Chen Xiuming specially shaped sharp short blades at the front of the chains. Combined with the [Saintess Power] they contained, Levi dared not resist the incoming Honkai energy chains and could only move around like a butterfly, dodging the intersecting Honkai energy chains.

Levi didn't know what would happen if she were hit by the golden chains, but her body instinctively resisted being hit by them, to the point that she would rather give up attacking Chen Xiuming and the others than be hit by the Honkai energy chains.

While dodging, she didn't forget to fire at the Honkai energy chains, trying to break them.

Unfortunately, in the face of the Saintess's power contained in the golden Honkai energy chains, the Honkai energy bullets fired from the flintlock pistol were as fragile as tofu. Not only could they not break the Honkai energy chains, but they would also collapse after hitting the Honkai energy chains.

Levi gritted her teeth, already considering retreating.

Although her mental state was extremely erratic, it did not mean that her intelligence or rationality had decreased.

Honkai energy bullets and black mist were helpless against the golden Honkai energy chains, and the black mist and black mist creatures posed no threat to Chen Xiuming and the others. It could be said that she was completely restrained by Chen Xiuming and the others.

Unless Chen Xiuming and the others are exhausted, it will be difficult for her to harm them.

Furthermore, judging from the relaxed expressions on Chen Xiuming and the others' faces, Levi knew that this was not the limit for them.

Having figured this out, Revy subconsciously began to observe her surroundings, looking for a route to retreat.

Distracted by searching for an escape route, she did not notice the Honkai energy chains rushing towards her along the ground.

By the time she discovered the Honkai energy chain, it was already too late.

The Honkai energy chains wrapped around Revy's ankles, and the Saintess power contained within them immediately took effect, quickly suppressing the Honkai energy within Revy's body.

The power of the saintess contained in a single Honkai energy chain is insufficient to completely suppress the Honkai energy within Revy's body, but it will restrict her movements.

Once movement is restricted, one will be entangled by other Honkai energy chains, further suppressing the Honkai energy within the body and restricting movement.

At first, Revy was able to try to break free from the Honkai energy chains.

As the number of Honkai energy chains binding her increased, she became unable to break free and could only let the Honkai energy chains wrap her up like a "dumpling".

The Honkai energy within her body was completely suppressed by the Saintess's power, along with her madness, allowing Revy to return to normal.

The black mist creature suddenly shattered and dissipated, while the black mist itself faded and disappeared at a visible speed, leaving no trace in just a few breaths.

The eerie purple light that had been flashing in Levi's eyes had dimmed, and her eyes were no longer filled with madness.

Recalling the things she did when she was in a frenzy, her eyes were dull and her expression was very depressed.
