Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 159

Such athleticism, coupled with the terrifyingly high temperature carried by the falling flames.

Even someone like Qianjie would probably choose to dodge her attacks.

Unfortunately... she ran into Roland.

Roland showed no intention of moving an inch in the face of the massive flaming sword swung down by the Herrscher of Flame.

However, in that instant, the dark shadows covered his entire body, causing him to move directly from the semi-fused state of shadow fusion to the fully fused state.

However, unlike the initial complete fusion, Roland now exhibits a different attitude despite the complete fusion.

The pitch-black shadow on him looked like a huge robe.

Then, when the shadow climbed onto his face, although a mark appeared on his chin, his nose, mouth, and ears were not included in the shadow. Instead, his eyes and hair were completely covered by the shadow. The shadow formed the shape of loose hair on Roland's head, reaching all the way to his waist—making him look somewhat like Yhwach from Death.

Roland looks very strange in this state.

This is for a reason.

That is, Rita Rogean, one of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles, in order to curry favor with Roland, somehow learned that Roland had asked Aozaki Touko to create eyes back then. So, relying on her position as the manager of the Mystic Eye Collection Train, she sent Roland one of each kind of Mystic Eye for him to collect.

Roland certainly doesn't have a penchant for collecting eyeballs, but with so many magic eyes, he figured he might as well use them, hence the current situation.

The Herrscher of Flame's fiery sword fell, and both the high temperature and the flames passed right through Roland's body, as if hitting the air.

Then the Herrscher of Flame discovered that although Roland did not move at all, something seemed to be flowing within the shadow that covered his head, which looked like long hair!

Those were eyes that looked like jewels!

The moment the Herrscher of Flame locked eyes with one of the stars, she found herself unable to move.

Then other eyes also fixed on her.

In an instant, the Herrscher of Flame felt her mind become somewhat dizzy, followed by weakness, aging, stiffness, and numbness.

Countless curses fell upon him.

Then, many of the Mystic Eyes fired scorching lasers that pierced through her body, while others unleashed attacks of various elements, all of which struck the Herrscher of Flame.

The pain instantly brought the Herrscher of Flame back to her senses, and then, accompanied by her roar, terrifying heat began to spread from her core.

but...

"If we let you unleash your power like this, the area of ​​destruction would be too large."

As Roland spoke, he used his hand, which was exposed to intense heat, to directly aim at the Herrscher of Flame's face.

The next second, the Herrscher of Flame unleashed her power!

The terrifying heat ignited everything within a 20-kilometer radius.

Moreover, this is still in a state where it has not yet fully erupted.

Haaah—!

Accompanied by the roar of the Herrscher of Flame, a temperature dozens of times more terrifying than before spread out!

A lawyer powerful enough to incinerate the entire country of Australia, her explosive power is truly terrifying.

but......

When the Herrscher of Flame finished her outburst and lay prone, panting heavily, she realized that nothing around her seemed to have changed.

Roland was still standing there, while she was standing in the position she had been in before the attack.

Everything around them was exactly the same as it was before their battle began!

Even though the Herrscher of Flame's rationality had almost evaporated, she still subconsciously looked around, completely unable to understand what had happened.

But in reality, this is a very simple situation.

Roland imaginaryized her at the moment she unleashed her power.

Therefore, the power she unleashed at that moment all occurred within the imaginary space, and after her outburst ended, Roland pulled her back...

This caused the Herrscher of Flame's power to completely miss its target.

This also made everything seem to return to the state it was before the fight even started.

However, this time it wasn't the Herrscher of Flame who was attacking, but Roland who took a step towards her.

"What an incredibly destructive creature, but unfortunately..."

Before Roland could finish speaking, the Herrscher of Flame could already see Roland walking towards her.

But the next moment, Roland's voice rang out behind her.

"...I've had enough fun~"

Upon hearing Roland's voice, the Herrscher of Flame was startled, but just as she instinctively tried to ignite the flames and burn Roland to death, she discovered that her power had failed to activate!

The flames did not ignite!

At this point, perhaps because she was about to die, the Honkai energy's erosion weakened, and her mind recovered a little—but in any case, after discovering this, she looked at her chest.

Then she saw a big hole!

Her Herrscher core, along with her heart, was ripped out by Roland in that instant!

"Oh dear, if you were at your peak, with a lot of Honkai energy flowing through your body, I wouldn't be able to do this so easily. So next time, you'd better remember not to use high-energy-consuming attacks that you don't know if they will have any effect when fighting enemies, otherwise, once you get weaker, that's when the opportunity will come."

As Roland spoke, the Herrscher of Flame knelt on the ground, then covered the hole in her chest with both hands, and collapsed completely.

Qianjie arrived here at this moment.

After seeing all this, he pursed his lips but said nothing.

Roland, on the other hand, returned to his original appearance and even greeted Qianjie with a smile.

"You're late~"

He said this first, then casually put away the Herrscher Core, and then had Anti-Entropy's people retrieve the Herrscher of Flame's corpse.

But at that moment, a figure squeezed in from outside the crowd, tumbling and crawling to the side of the Herrscher of Flame's corpse. Looking at the Herrscher of Flame, who had already lost all signs of life, she closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and her face was full of pain.

"Captain Himiko...!"

Seeing her like this, the Anti-Entropy people tried to pull her away, but Roland stopped them with a look.

The reason is... because the Shenzhou tablet hasn't changed much over tens of thousands of years, so Roland recognized her at a glance.

This is Fu Hua, or rather, in the previous civilization, she should be called Hua.

She should still be a new recruit under Himiko at this moment. And unlike Himiko who died frozen in ice in the original work, this time she died a more tragic death, which is probably why she is like this.

Seeing her like this, Roland walked up behind her.

"Judging from your combat suit, you must be a new recruit of the Fire Moth... Your captain has become the Herrscher of Flame, so if you want to save her, you have to kill her first."

"So if you want to see your captain again, then don't get in my way now."

Upon hearing Roland's words, Hua, who was in great pain, looked at Roland in astonishment.

"Captain Himiko, she's alive!?"

She pointed to the large hole in Himiko's chest as she asked the question, and Roland, as if he hadn't seen the hole, smiled and gave Hua the answer she was expecting.

"Yes, she can still be saved."

....

107. Möbius: I want to join Anti-Entropy!

"Name."

"magnificent."

"gender."

"Um... female."

Upon Roland's inquiry, Hua's information was quickly entered into the anti-entropy database, and Roland nodded to her.

"Alright, now, Hua, you are a member of Anti-Entropy—and judging by the time, Himiko should be awake by now. She might still be a little unaccustomed to her new identity, so go and check on her."

Upon hearing Roland's words, Hua nodded honestly, then bowed very politely before turning and leaving, quietly closing the door behind him.

"What a good, honest child!"

"I'm afraid she'll be bullied by others."

After Hua left, Alicia moved closer to Roland and said this with a smile.

But there was no hint of worry in her tone. In fact, Roland thought that the only person who might play pranks on China in Anti-Entropy was the pink tank lady beside him... cough cough, the pink fairy lady herself.

However, Roland didn't say anything about this topic. He just sighed slightly after seeing that Alicia still showed no sign of leaving.

"If there's something you want to say, just say it, Alicia."

"Hehe, I knew you could guess my purpose, but I'm just a little shy and unwilling to say it out loud."

Alicia walked up to Roland's desk and smiled as she spoke to him.

"But I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry~"

"In that case, I'll just ask directly, Roland... what do you plan to do with the Fire-Chasing Moth?"
