Herrscher of Reason's Arknights

Interesting, so this is what a mage is like in this world?

And are all people in this world so arrogant and conceited?

The one I encountered before was at most an elite monster, but this one in front of me was completely immersed in darkness. Even snowflakes that touched his black clothes would instantly turn to ash and be blown away by the cold wind. He exuded an aura of coldness and death, and he really had the feel of a mage. Unpredictable, untouchable, and incomprehensible.

There wasn't even a casting gesture; it was just a bizarre glare that could kill someone.

The malice of all things is like nerve endings seeping into the viscous air, gradually penetrating the skin of the prey that has been frozen by the air. This is simply an ability that is like cheating. First, the opponent is imprisoned by freezing the air, and then this follow-up move is used to control the opponent silently.

That's a good approach.

I wonder if mages in this world are weak in melee combat.

All was silent, just as everything sank into a deathly stillness.

The girl, however, used the limited oxygen in her body to work her system and suddenly threw out her right fist!

The Valkyrie's body, enhanced to the extreme, allows her simple punch to almost exceed the speed of sound in an instant.

The surrounding solidification spells were actually blasted away by the force of a single punch!

The "inch-force and chaotic thunder" technique emphasizes inch-force and inch-grab, using hard strikes and direct attacks.

"what!"

His golden eyes, like molten iron, snapped open! The hem of his clothes fluttered wildly in the wind.

However, in the blink of an eye, the silver-haired girl shot off like an arrow, her foot landing squarely on the snow. A wall of snow rose behind her like a thunderclap from a clear sky, and her figure vanished from sight in an instant!

So fast!

However, the emperor's inner guards are not to be underestimated; if they were only capable of magical attacks, they wouldn't be able to serve as inner guards.

The immense pressure locked onto the sodium chloride, which was practically flying along the snow-covered surface.

It seems that this spell does not need to find a target, but rather provides area-of-effect suppression, which can almost directly imprison several small teams in place or crush them.

The emperor's guards retreated abruptly, and a black barrier instantly unfolded in front of them.

This is the ultimate defense, and can be said to be the ultimate application of Originium Arts.

Ordinary mages can at most create some obstacles, such as controlling the earth and rock layers to build simple walls, or creating fire walls to create something "real" using Originium Arts to create opportunities for victory.

However, Originium magic itself is spiritual; it is a manifestation of the user's inner world.

The strongest thing is the manifestation of the will of the spirit in the real world.

There is no barrier of thickness; it is a solid wall created by thought, an insurmountable law itself.

Even without knowing where the casting medium is, they can instantly unleash such ultimate defense; only someone of the Emperor's inner guard level could do that so easily.

After all, the Emperor's inner guards were capable of single-handedly slaughtering several squads in an instant.

There are other magical traps on both sides of the barrier. This is an inner guard tactic: using the barrier to create an insurmountable wall, forcing the opponent to charge towards the trap's defensive line or abandon the attack.

The shift between offense and defense can only last for a fleeting moment.

However, the girl did not act as the guard had planned. Instead of changing direction, she went straight for the wall.

What a foolish idea to try and break through an invisible wall with one's own body—how could that be possible?

He's courting death.

The inner guards had already prepared new spells, waiting to launch a counterattack once the enemy's attack outside the wall ceased.

Ultimately, he's just a reckless fool, while the mage's unpredictable and ever-changing abilities are precisely what counteract such mindless fools.

However, as she stepped into the snow, the girl, her right fist loosely clenched, seemed completely unconcerned about the weight on her body and the wall.

Purple patterns slowly lit up the girl's body, a sign that Honkai energy was beginning to be consumed in small amounts.

With the exertion of every joint in the body, the power is transmitted upwards step by step. The movement of the feet begins to create cracks in the ground, and the bent arms, propelled by the power of the waist, begin to rub against the air at high speed.

The twisting of the body transforms the punch into a shell that has been ejected!

"Inch power..."

The use of force even distorted the distribution of bones in a short period of time, and the sound of squeezing and slight displacement was like the war drums celebrating victory.

The right fist that was thrown out even dragged up a cone-shaped white cloud of mist, which was a sonic boom.

"Open the heavens!"

The right fist, which had already surpassed the speed of sound and left the noise behind, silently rushed towards the black barrier.

A silent collision, followed by a heavy clap of thunder and howling winds!

The black barrier shattered instantly.

However, it's not just one layer!

The barrier, which should have been layered with certain intervals, was stacked layer upon layer by the shockwave generated by the impact of the force, like a giant rock being thrown into a calm lake.

The splashing waves were black fragments flying everywhere; a single punch shattered the entire barrier along with the surrounding magic!

The white snow walls were rippled and rose up!

how is this possible! !

However, this did not stop the residual force of the punch.

The howling storm even carried the kinetic energy of that punch solidly into the body of the emperor's inner guard, who was aligned with the black barrier.

However, before the emperor's guards, who had been sent flying backwards, could even use magic to regain their footing in mid-air, their opponent had already closed in!

The "inch strike" technique itself is a close-quarters combat skill.

With the aid of Honkai energy, the power that far surpassed that of humans transformed Sodium Chloride into a cannonball.

"boom!!!"

That was originally a method of stacking all one's weight on one's shoulders and using speed and weight to break through an opponent's attack. However, here, sodium chloride uses it to deliver the final blow.

This is the Iron Mountain Lean!

"Boom!!!"

It was a muffled thud, accompanied by the sound of something shattering into dust, and then everything seemed to fall silent.

Because red became the only color besides white.

They bloom brightly on the snow, like blooming spider lilies.

Blood and foam mixed with countless chunks of internal organs and flesh, interspersed with mechanical fragments, sprayed backwards, splattering the ground almost completely red.

Red snow, red low walls, and the smell of blood are spreading in the air.

However, by chance, sodium chloride saw a red signal flare that had been launched into the sky at some unknown time slowly descending into the air.

"Tsk, he actually has something else up his sleeve."

I originally thought there would only be one of these super elite monsters, but I didn't expect that it would bring its own companions.

She originally wanted to conserve Honkai energy, so she didn't even activate her Herrscher form.

It's really unsettling.

They're forcing me to quit acting, aren't they?

Fortunately, Yelena fainted; otherwise, killing them one by one would have taken a long time, even if it were like slaughtering pigs.

···········

Outside the village, three imperial guards, all dressed in black, appeared at the village entrance.

That was a special signal; no one had ever actually seen such a signal in the past century.

But today, they met.

A companion has already launched the red flare that signifies a state of emergency.

It looks like he's run into trouble.

The Emperor's inner guards haven't encountered such an opponent in far too long.

"It's time to act; our comrades need our help now."

P.S.: I've applied for a contract. It went surprisingly quickly this time. Was updating two chapters a day really too much? [scratching head]

It's snowing, and it's so cold outside! I almost slipped and fell while walking. And now I have to go out and buy food myself tomorrow, sob sob, I'm so miserable!

Section 14, Chapter Fourteen: The Covenant of God

When the three entered the village, what they saw was truly jaw-dropping.

The companion who released the signal has been reduced to pieces of flesh scattered on the ground.

The killer appeared there after a flash of lightning and a burst of light.

Without moving an inch, he remained high above, yet the imperial guard who had fired the signal flare had fallen!

How can it be? !

how so? !

Who is she?!

To this day, no one has been able to kill an emperor's bodyguard without having a numerical advantage!

How can this be? !

All of this happened far too quickly, and the opponent's countermeasure was far too simple. It seemed that with just one punch, the person was instantly dismembered in mid-air by this energy.

"What exactly are you?!"

"What is it? You can't even see my existence and yet you dare to challenge the gods?"

The Herrscher had lost interest in the bugs in front of her; fighting them one by one was too troublesome, so she decided to unleash her ultimate skill to wipe them out.

"You have the honor of meeting me, yet you do not know my majesty, and you even dare to look directly at the gods with your lowly eyes. You have no reason to live, you boring insect."

Amidst the disbelief of the other party, the Herrscher simply raised her hand, and countless purple narrative gates unfolded around her.

The girl's overall impression has also completely changed.

It was like a newly born sun, its intense light shining brightly.

The sudden surge of energy had gone completely unnoticed by anyone beforehand, indicating that the opponent's concealment techniques had clearly surpassed the level of the Emperor's inner guards!

That's impossible! Almost every powerful figure in each faction has a name and a reputation. If they came to Ursus, it's impossible that the intelligence organization didn't receive the slightest hint of their presence.

Moreover, the Emperor's inner guards had a clear understanding of those powerful individuals, but the person in front of them was quite unfamiliar in terms of both energy fluctuations and aura.

Who is she? !

However, the opponent's methods perfectly exemplified arrogance and power.

Countless weapons, gleaming with dazzling light, emerged from the open gate, their energy fluctuations clearly visible and impossible to conceal!

Those were clearly no ordinary weapons; each one shone with preciousness and power. They were weapons that could only appear in the hands of emperors or legendary heroes. Yet, at this moment, no words could describe the scene these people were witnessing.

"withdraw!"

One of the guards gave an order and then took a step forward, his entire body transforming into a shadow that soared into the air!

Simply by displaying a variety of attacking postures, they were enough to make the emperor's inner guards resolutely want to retreat.

It was a desperate attack, an attempt to stop the attack that was about to be unleashed by the opponent with all of his might. Although he had never seen these portal-like things before and did not know what was happening here, he understood that such energy fluctuations could kill his companions, and the opponent must have also spent a lot of time and was no longer in the hands of all of them. However, as long as they could find a way to interrupt it, they could escape and then return with this extremely valuable information.

The Ursus Empire needs to know everything that is happening here, and to be wary and prepare sufficient plans to investigate and deal with the "monster" in front of them.

However, the attack was not launched by just one person. The second of the three even opened a valve on his body, poured some kind of gas into his mask, and launched an attack that was even faster than before!

The third person, however, decisively abandoned everything and planned to evacuate quickly.

It must be said that such close coordination, which can be achieved without any dialogue, is probably the best that these ants can do.

The precise tactics, close coordination, and powerful battle record are undeniably impressive.

Not only is the individual attack of one person unpredictable and elusive, but the cooperation of these three is also quite remarkable.

But it makes no sense.
