In the afternoon, they said goodbye to the young lady in the transport plane and Bronya.
Yunduo, Kiana, and Mei headed toward the road leading to Chiba Academy.
But on the way, the Blue-haired Captain caught up and stopped the three of them tremblingly.
"Something the matter?"
Yunduo's face was cold, giving her no friendly expression.
"Um, Commander, I have something to tell you," the Blue-haired Captain said awkwardly. "That Nora went missing after being punished by you. We originally intended to lock her in the base, but we didn't expect her to use a secret door to escape."
"And according to the intelligence, she seems to have headed toward Chiba Academy. We don't know what her purpose is."
"She escaped?" Yunduo frowned.
"I'm truly sorry, because we didn't expect someone without legs to be able to crawl out..."
Behind her, Kiana and Mei gasped. The'small punishment' Yunduo mentioned actually involved making her lose both legs?
It seems they shouldn't make Yunduo angry too often in the future.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, her running to Chiba Academy is just seeking death. It's inconsequential."
After Yunduo finished speaking, she waved her hand.
Seeing this, the Blue-haired Captain tactfully ran back.
"Yunduo, will it be okay? Why would she go to seek death?"
"I don't know either. Maybe she felt she had no dignity left to live on."
After answering Kiana's confusion, Yunduo continued walking toward Chiba Academy.
She had just used the Herrscher of Flamescion for a few minutes and could still use it for about twenty more minutes. Killing a minor Mimic Herrscher would be no problem at all... Meanwhile.
Inside Chiba Academy.
The Mimic Herrscher Yuna had just swallowed the green-haired Nora, who had come to defect, and licked her thin lips insatiably.
Someone actually wanted to use her power to deal with humans?
What a joke!
After absorbing this person's power, the Mimic Herrscher Yuna finally felt like she was crossing that threshold.
Stepping from a Mimic Herrscher toward a true Herrscher!
Once she became a true Herrscher, she could escape from this tiny Chiba Academy and devour all the Valkyries in Changkong City.
Those hateful bugs—don't think she hadn't noticed them frequently demanding resources in her name.
Humans, as expected, are all ignorant trash.
In front of her.
Theresa was holding Judah, her pink, cherry-blossom-shaped ears swaying in the wind.
A few days ago, she came to Changkong City to investigate the situation. She didn't expect to find the Pseudo-Herrscher Yuna, but she was accidentally injured by Yuna's poison.
She had failed miserably!
After barely escaping, Theresa was treated by Yae Sakura, who was wandering as a Honkai Energy spirit and had caught Kallen's scent.
Later, she was even given power by Yae Sakura and obtained her herrscher core.
Now Theresa was in good health and felt stronger than ever before.
Just a minute before she arrived, wanting to observe the Mimic Herrscher Yuna, she happened to see her devouring a human.
"Sister Yae Sakura, she's probably beyond saving."
Theresa sighed, her ears twitching slightly.
"I'm sorry~ Yesterday I thought she could find redemption. Since they're both Mimic Herrschers and can control their own actions, I didn't expect her to still choose this path."
Yae Sakura said softly in apology.
"By the way, were those people actually your friends? They came specifically looking for you. I previously thought it was a Herrscher, the kind that can't control themselves, and blocked her sword strike. It seems I was wrong."
"It's okay, they won't mind..."
Theresa comforted Yae Sakura.
Ultimately, it was just that Yae Sakura, being a Mimic Herrscher herself, empathized with Yuna, who was also a Mimic Herrscher.
She believed that Mimic Herrschers had the power to control themselves, while becoming a full Herrscher would make it hard to change. She didn't expect the reality to be exactly the opposite.
"Let's finish her off; your friends must be very anxious right now." After Yae Sakura finished speaking, she returned to Theresa's Stigmata Space. "Lovely little bug, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The Mimic Herrscher Yuna licked her lips with a smile, seemingly not yet satisfied.
Theresa snorted, not caring, and raised the cherry-blossom-decorated Judah, saying, "I wasn't paying attention yesterday and was caught off guard by your sneak attack. Today, I won't lose to you again."
"Hahahaha, how cute. I'd like to see if you can keep that proud face after I've devoured you."
Yuna sneered, summoning the vines around her to form a sharp sword made of plants.
The current vines were several levels more toxic than yesterday's, all thanks to that Valkyrie who defected to the enemy. She had successfully achieved a qualitative change and was about to take the step toward becoming a true Herrscher.
"Fox Spirit Blade!"
Theresa raised the Oath of Judah, which was even larger than herself, as cherry blossom petals drifted through the wind.
Like a romantic ball, the fox-eared Theresa was the absolute master of the stage.
Meanwhile, a Sakura Brand appeared on Yuna's body.
Then, Theresa smashed the Oath of Judah straight at her—the entire movement was incredibly violent!
"What?" Seeing this, Yuna dropped her mocking attitude. Knowing she couldn't be careless, she covered her body with hardened vines.
Sizzle!
A flash of fire sparked as her vines were ignited by the Oath of Judah, and a searing heat burrowed into Yuna's body.
Instantly, her expression changed drastically in disbelief.
"Why is there fire? You weren't like this yesterday!"
"Hehe, I can't tell you that. I have to thank Sister Yae Sakura, though."
Theresa looked up with a tsundere-like smile, her hands never stopping: "Do you know how many ways there are to use the Oath of Judah?"
"...Damn it!"
Before Yuna could react—
"Scorching Sakura Foxfire!"
Theresa swung out two more flying blades. Once they left her hands, they directly ignited the Sakura Brand on Yuna's body.
A denser foxfire converged like a firework explosion, and all the vines on the Mimic Herrscher Yuna were ignited.
Theresa's attacks used to have only one form—smashing with the Oath of Judah!
Now, her methods of attack were much more diverse.
Every strike left Yuna, who was at the center of the storm, in agonizing pain.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
As the Oath of Judah was almost smoking, Theresa swung the 150-kilogram cross like a toy at a speed of over a dozen times per second, and she was only getting faster!
Her movements became almost mechanical, relying solely on monstrous strength and foxfire attacks!
Smash! Smash! Smash!
"Damn it, don't get so full of yourself!!!"
Yuna roared with hatred. She didn't even bother blocking; at the moment Theresa smashed down, she seized a fleeting opportunity.
She threw herself into the attack, ignoring the searing pain of being ignited and her wounds that were nearly reduced to pulp. Instead, she controlled the vines on the ground to fly up stealthily, concentrating all the accumulated toxins into a single point.
Finally, a thorn no larger than a fingernail was pierced into Theresa's pinky finger by the desperate Yuna.
"What?!"
Theresa took half a step back, not expecting her to be so reckless with her own life.
"Hahahaha! To think that even with power, you're still destined to become my food."
Having lost more than half her life, Yuna coughed up fresh blood, yet in her dying state, she still laughed.
This was her home turf.
Once Theresa died from the poison, she could slowly recover.
At the same time, inside the Stigma Space, Yae Sakura let out a long sigh. It seemed the descendants of the Kaslana Family still had a long way to go.
She had to come out herself.
