Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Harribel's armor was not merely decorative.

Indeed, the best things come in small packages.

After this woman's Hogyoku returned to its original form, even though she appeared to be wearing less clothing, her defensive capabilities actually increased.

Despite the limited area covered by the armor, its defensive capabilities are quite remarkable.

Halibel did not actually turn into a mindless beast.

She nimbly stepped back half a step, skillfully avoiding the fierce sweeping attack.

Before her heels even touched the ground, she quickly took a step forward and slashed downwards with heavy force.

boom! !

With a deafening roar, a deep trench was cleaved open in the ground, and the Great Void Forest could even be vaguely seen through the sea of ​​sand below.

However, Aozaki Mayuki had already dodged to the side; this is one of the benefits of learning swordsmanship.

By observing the opponent's hand and foot movements, one can predict the moves the opponent will make.

Aozaki Mayuki doesn't even need to think; she can instinctively make evasive maneuvers in advance.

Sand and gravel flew everywhere. Just as Aozaki Mayuki had regained his footing, he suddenly felt as if the air behind him was being torn apart. Without hesitation, he vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Shensu is so much faster than Xianglun!"

In that instant, such a thought flashed through Nelliel's mind.

As a female knight who served His Majesty the Emperor, she was naturally familiar with the special gait created by His Majesty, Divine Speed, and did not find it strange.

With a slight twist of her wrist, she flicked the lance in her hand upwards.

Clang!

A crisp sound of impact rang out.

The diagonal slash collided with the lance, and the greatsword was caught steadily.

The female knight tilted her head slightly, glanced to the side, and gave the emperor standing behind her a smug smile.

“I’ve already seen through you, Mazuki, you still…”

However, before she could finish speaking, her words were abruptly stuck in her throat.

It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor, standing behind him, had already clenched his left hand into a fist.

In this breathtaking moment, it seemed as if the whole world was about to collapse.

An unparalleled pressure surged forth like a raging tide.

It was lightning and fire made purely of spiritual energy, which suddenly appeared from the shoulders and elbows.

Immediately afterwards, a hand lashed out with tremendous force, like a meteor burning with raging flames streaking across the sky, sweeping swiftly forward.

One Bone - Thunder Flame Emperor!

In an instant, the essence, energy, and spirit merged into one, and the three key principles of speed, calmness, and accuracy were brought to their fullest potential.

With a muffled thud, a vibrant flower of blood bloomed in the air.

The female knight let out a painful scream as the fist, crackling with lightning and fire, slammed into her back like a falling meteor.

Blood gushed from her mouth, but she did not die; however, she was too weak to fight any longer.

Just then, a sharp, cold glint flashed towards them.

Aozaki Mayuki reacted quickly, sidestepping and drawing his sword to block the attack.

However, unexpectedly, he abandoned the long knife in his hand and reached out to tightly choke the other person's throat.

How could it be so fast?

Heribel was completely caught off guard.

But the next moment.

She ignored the large hands gripping her neck, twisted her wrist sharply, and slashed horizontally with the sword in her hand.

Swish! !

A cold light flashed past the Hueco Mundo Emperor, and Harribel's slender hand holding the sword instantly lost its strength.

With just a slight exertion of force, Aozaki Mayuki neutralized Harribel's attack.

The slender empress suddenly felt the pressure on her neck ease, and she knelt down, collapsing limply to the ground.

Her emerald green eyes reflected the smiling Aozaki Mayuki.

With an apologetic smile, he cupped Halibel's face in his hands and turned to look at Nelieel, who had sat up beside him.

"Sorry, I went a little too far."

Chapter 430 I really don't like this kind of food

"call……"

As the dust settled, the full moon once again shone its light upon Hueco Mundo. Moonlight filtered through the leaves of the quartz tree, illuminating Aozaki Mayuki's blood-stained robe.

Tick, tick...

Blood dripped continuously from the corner of his clothes. Aozaki Mayuki, covered in blood, hung his head and smashed the body of the deer-headed, snake-tailed monster with his fist. A pool of blood was spreading rapidly.

There's not much to say. After seeing the eldest sister's defeat, the deer-snake-lion trio couldn't wait to launch a challenge.

Unsurprisingly, they were at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

Then, in a panic, he hastily summoned Yawong and launched a fierce attack.

Wherever it passed, tall quartz trees fell down.

However, the challenged king did not approach easily, but instead used a high-level breakthrough technique from a distance to knock the three of them unconscious.

After all, Aozaki Mayuki is a pure summoner, so she naturally wouldn't let herself get into a situation where she's surrounded and attacked.

Summoning Yaw requires three people to each contribute one arm, which severely reduces one's own strength.

Once they had successfully knocked out these summoners and made them lie on the ground resting with their mouths open and eyes closed,

Aozaki Mayuki immediately pounced on the monster, unleashing wave after wave of violent attacks.

Under the weight of those iron fists, the monster quickly screamed in agony and exploded to its death.

Swish! !

With a sudden slap of his hand, a line of blood drew a graceful arc in the air.

Aozaki Mayuki bent down and hoisted the three women onto his shoulders, striding towards Hueco Mundo like a mountain bandit who had just abducted innocent women.

He walked with an air of pride and confidence, as if the whole world was at his feet.

"My spine almost broke."

As she spoke, Nelliel bent her arm and rubbed her lower back.

Her injuries have healed, but she still feels some pain when she was injured.

When she looked up again, she met Aozaki Mayuki's concerned gaze.

Aozaki Mayuki was carrying three women who were powerless to resist.

They were all sleeping soundly and didn't look like they would wake up anytime soon.

One of them was snoring and had a silly grin on his face, probably having some kind of sweet dream.

As it turns out, Aozaki Mayuki did indeed show mercy.

If they were really fighting, how could these three guys be so relaxed and at ease?

"you......"

Aozaki Mayuki blinked apologetically, inwardly sighing:

"I think I went a little too far."

He didn't mean to hurt them.

However, he also felt somewhat helpless in the face of this situation.

Although he could suppress his strength, the fighting abilities of the deer, snake, and lion trio were worlds apart from those of Nelliel.

In a battle against a strong opponent, it is difficult to completely control the situation.

"Lady Shingetsu, I'm alright."

As a qualified knight, Nelieel obviously knew what Aozaki Mayuki wanted to say, but there was no need for it.

She didn't want Aozaki Mayuki to worry about her.

Moreover, after fusing with the Hogyoku, her recovery ability was greatly enhanced, making her regenerate even faster than before!

That minor injury from before has long since healed!

However, although the injuries have healed, an apology and compensation are still necessary.

A verbal apology is unnecessary; these broken-faced people are honest and prefer tangible compensation.

Aozaki Mayuki understood what Nelliel meant and nodded with a smile.

For the next two weeks or so, Aozaki Mayuki stayed in the emperor's palace, paying wages to the dutiful knights.

He felt that now that he had become emperor, he should bear the corresponding responsibilities.

He wanted his loyal subordinates to feel that their value was recognized, and at the same time, he wanted them to feel his care and love.

Only in this way can we truly win their hearts and make them willing to serve us.

You can't expect a horse to run fast without feeding it.

Aozaki Mayuki understood this principle well, so he would never deduct wages from his employees.

On the contrary, even for these high-performing employees, we try our best to meet their requirements in order to stimulate their enthusiasm and initiative.

Aozaki Mayuki remembered that the old man had said there would be a captains' meeting at the end of the month, and he didn't indulge in the joy of being the emperor.

Having experienced similar grueling battles countless times, Aozaki Mayuki was already used to it, and now he was able to skillfully control his emotions.
