After a single strike, Himeko Murata fell back to the ground at an even faster speed.
Boom!!!
Sparks flew.
Himeko Murata's landing triggered a violent explosion.
Theresa, who was already in the sky, used the recoil from this strike to quickly approach Lucas, who was flying towards Wuhu.
Countless spiritual light spears were also projected towards him.
The flaming dragon beside him resisted with all its might, but it still took several hits and let out a sharp wail.
It seemed it wouldn't last much longer.
All of this happened very quickly.
Himeko Murata did not stand by and watch.
As soon as she landed, she was enveloped in flames and charged back into the sky.
Theresa, sensing the threat from behind, looked back.
The Tsundere Redhead Onee-san's long hair fluttered; she charged forward from the explosion, like an avenging messenger who had just climbed out of hell.
Himeko Murata's expression was ferocious as her red greatsword slashed down heavily.
"So fast..." two words flashed through Theresa's mind, "But... at this level, the Headmaster won't be defeated!"
A giant cross met the red greatsword head-on.
Theresa was not flustered at all.
The battle behind them raged on.
Lucas, unable to move, after a moment of flying, began to plummet as the wailing flaming dragon shattered.
"I'm going to die, aren't I...?"
At this moment, Lucas's body involuntarily twisted a bit, and he could see the scene below.
St. Freya Academy at night seemed to have shrunk a lot.
Himeko Murata and Theresa were like two flashes of lightning, one golden, one red; they continuously collided in the air.
Neither could gain the upper hand for a while.
Lucas estimated that he was currently several thousand meters from the ground.
Falling from such a height, he would definitely turn into a pile of minced meat.
"Once the Valkyries make a move, my life... is no longer my own."
The phrase "My fate is up to me, not heaven" was just a joke.
Lucas was a bit dejected.
However, Lucas quickly cast aside his negative emotions and began to find joy in his suffering.
"Looking down from above, St. Freya Academy is quite interesting, especially now that the sun is just rising. That's the Martial Arts Arena. Has Hua returned to the Faculty Dormitory now? That's the Maze Garden... Mei..."
Having flown to this place, Lucas seemed to have escaped the night's restrictions of St. Freya Academy.
With the first ray of morning light from the east, he could vaguely see all the buildings of the academy.
Looking down at the Maze Garden from above, a look of regret flashed in Lucas's eyes.
"Sorry, Mei, this time... I'm going to break my promise again."
As Lucas was caught by the two Yandere Valkyries, everything would vanish into thin air.
...
Himeko Murata and Theresa's battle gradually escalated.
Lucas closed his eyes; he had a premonition that when he fell, he would meet his death.
This was not the first time, nor would it be the last.
Himeko Murata and Theresa both watched Lucas as he fell.
Just as the two clashed, an unexpected person emerged.
Purple electric light flashed, and Raiden Mei headed straight for Lucas.
Theresa and Himeko Murata simultaneously stopped their attacks and retreated a great distance.
They exchanged glances and simultaneously launched attacks at Raiden Mei.
Spiritual light spears, sky-burning flames.
Purple eyes stared at Lucas, who was falling from high in the sky.
The girl in the white kimono did not dodge the enemy's attacks.
The katana, wreathed in purple electric light, was unsheathed.
Raiden Mei roared as she swung her sword, "Don't stop me!"
Was it useful? No, it wasn't.
Raiden Mei's figure appeared small, pitiful, and helpless in front of these two attacks.
She was almost instantly engulfed by the flames and light spears, and her entire body was thrown backward, without causing a single ripple.
Raiden Mei came quickly and left just as quickly; Lucas didn't even realize the Cook had been there.
After all...
The wind was too strong around them.
Raiden Mei's angry shouts simply couldn't reach his ears.
Even if Lucas sensed a slight abnormality, by the time he opened his eyes, there was nothing within his line of sight...
Only Himeko Murata and Theresa were still fighting.
Time passed a bit slowly.
Lucas could sort out his thoughts from scratch.
Recalling his experiences in this reincarnation.
He had pursued Raiden Mei, Kiana, Griseo, and Bronya, met Ai Yi, and gained a little follower—Judah.
On the other side...
Raiden Mei, lying on the grass, left a long trail.
All the flowers and plants along that line were severely damaged and flattened.
For the Cook, facing two S-Class Valkyries was still a bit too difficult.
The spiritual light gun grazed her body, tearing her white kimono and leaving several wounds on her skin.
These were only minor injuries.
The exploding flames were the main source of damage.
Even if Raiden Mei fought back desperately, the powerful explosion still made her vomit blood.
Her face showed unwillingness.
The purple-haired, purple-eyed girl stared at the sky, clenching her hands in the grass, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Power... I need power!"
Right now...
Fists were the ultimate truth.
As the saying goes—beauties are only for the strong.
If Raiden Mei possessed the same power as Himeko Murata and Theresa, she could turn the tables and humiliate them severely, instead of being beaten like a dead dog and lying motionless on the ground.
"I can do it... I can do anything! As long as I can use that..."
She clenched her fists.
Raiden Mei desperately tried to unlock the door deep within her heart.
Purple electrical light spread across her body.
The Cook could feel it—her body was recovering.
"Binbin... don't be scared, I'll be there soon... Hehe... soon..."
At the same time.
Somewhere in Schicksal.
A tall, purple-haired woman in a brown trench coat was carrying a classical lantern and a meal box, moving towards the center of the battle.
Pale yellow light illuminated the scenery within a hundred meters.
The Night Valkyries in the darkness, upon encountering this, avoided it in fear, as if afraid of being illuminated by the light.
Anyone who approached.
Scattered like mice encountering a cat.
Even a parade of demons would make way.
"The candle flame inextinguishable, civilization eternal, I'm here... I'm here..."
A low, clear female voice echoed in the air.
This purple-haired woman had an appearance similar to Raiden Mei.
If Lucas had seen her, he would definitely have exclaimed in his heart—"Oh my god, Mei!"
In St. Freya Academy (Reverse World Version)...
Mei's uniqueness was not just delivering takeout; she could also artificially create a special safe zone.
The purple-haired woman carrying the classical lantern didn't seem to walk fast.
But with every step.
Mei would flicker a great distance forward, as if divinely aided.
This was, of course, not divine aid.
It was the power of the Herrscher of Wind at work.
Under Mei's brown trench coat, she wore the Key of Blankness, which also contained the Herrscher Core of Wind from the Previous Civilization; this was the source of her power.
