In less than a second,
Sakura's gaze changed endlessly, manifesting as a rather bizarre scene.
Lucas naturally couldn't see it; he could only feel death approaching.
The man carrying Sakura lifted both feet off the ground.
Lucas, flying, turned his head slightly... In his pupils, the gradually enlarging firelight from behind was reflected, and the alluringly beautiful Flame-Chaser was cackling madly, like a fairy born from flames.
This expression was far too familiar.
It made Lucas's legs go weak, and his mind involuntarily went blank.
Memories from the past surged forth, bit by bit.
Fear spread wildly within him.
The next second...
Sakura's pink fox ear floated past his eyes.
The pink fur was like a drowning person's last straw.
Lucas bit his tongue hard and said, "No! I can't give up yet!"
"I've already come this far..."
"How can I die so easily?!"
Amidst Lucas's inner roar, Himeko Murata had already arrived behind him. She reached out to grab Sakura, intending to separate the two of them.
Noticing the Tsundere Redhead Onee-san's intention,
Lucas flipped his body in mid-air, facing Himeko Murata, who was less than three meters away.
Their eyes met.
The pain on his tongue constantly stimulated the man's brain nerves.
The adrenaline secretion, coupled with the presence of the Eden Star, made Lucas also become frenzied.
"I am no longer that weakling who couldn't resist."
"Himeko Sensei..."
"Take this!"
Raising the small black handgun, Lucas ignored the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and continuously pulled the trigger.
The power of the Eden Star was unleashed in large quantities.
It was still the same gravity ray from before.
Attacks powerful enough to kill an A-rank Valkyrie were unleashed without restraint.
Rapid-fire bursts.
Each strike caused Lucas's body to break down further.
Purple-red lines spread across his skin almost visibly.
It hurt...
Lucas felt as if his body was being torn apart from the inside.
Or rather—something was about to burst out from within him.
"Is this the price for an ordinary person to use the Eden Star?"
"I feel like my lifespan is decreasing by years... It hurts so much... It hurts so much!"
"However... this is still nowhere near Himeko Sensei's abuse!!!"
Lucas's pupils trembled violently in their sockets.
Himeko Murata faced the black-red ray with no change in expression. Her jade hand, bathed in flames, raised and waved.
Several small fire dragons formed around her.
They circled in the air, letting out silent roars towards the surrounding darkness.
The incoming gravity rays were all devoured by these small fire dragons as if they were slurping noodles.
Unable to cause the slightest hindrance to the Tsundere Redhead Onee-san.
"How could the same attack work on me a second time?"
Himeko Murata advanced steadily.
She was only half a meter away from grabbing Sakura's ear.
As long as she threw this S-Rank Valkyries far away, the Tsundere Redhead Onee-san could have Lucas all to herself.
As for why she didn't directly attack Sakura,
it was naturally because she didn't want to accidentally injure her fiancé.
This point,
Lucas himself was also aware of it.
Although his resistance had temporarily no effect on Himeko Murata,
but...
that maniacal laughter, like a nightmare in reincarnation, was slowly torn open by the gravity ray, creating a crack.
It made Lucas deeply realize that the times had changed.
The moment he could use the Eden Star, one of his feet had already stepped into the realm of the non-human.
He was no longer a toy to be played with by Valkyries.
Himeko Murata was getting closer, and Lucas knew that continuing would not stop her.
So...
He decided to reveal his trump card.
"Eden Star, activate first rated power—Gravity Wave!"
This move was meant to imprison enemies.
Even if a Herrscher was hit, they wouldn't be able to break free in a short time.
The only downsides were its immense consumption and the low probability of hitting the enemy, as it could easily be dodged.
It was one of the Eden Star's ultimate moves.
It could not be used casually.
But at this moment...
Lucas had no other choice.
A large amount of Honkai Energy was drawn from the Herrscher Core of Rock.
A tiny bit of the leaked energy entered his body.
The spread of the purplish-red patterns accelerated.
From his arms and chest, they directly shot up to his neck and head.
Himeko Murata noticed this scene.
She knew that he was preparing a big move, and also knew that the Eden Star was destroying Lucas's body.
Her golden eyes flickered.
An unnamed rage rose from her heart.
Himeko Murata really wanted to loudly ask Lucas.
Why he resisted, why he was with Sakura, why he couldn't choose her.
Unfortunately...
Time was too short; these words were destined to remain unsaid.
"Stop right there!"
As Lucas roared, he fiercely pulled the trigger, and the power of the Eden Star spread from the muzzle.
It spread outwards like ripples.
Logically speaking,
Himeko Murata could have avoided it.
However...
The Tsundere Redhead Onee-san didn't dodge at all, causing the invisible and formless Gravity Wave to successfully capture her.
Her entire body felt as if it was being crushed by a small mountain.
Himeko Murata was forced to stop, and she fell to her knees with a thud. The nearby young fire dragons couldn't withstand this power and simply exploded one by one, scattering into large patches of red light.
By kneeling on one knee,
Himeko Murata stabilized herself, enduring the powerful Gravity Wave.
"Did it work?"
Lucas finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now Himeko Murata had stopped.
Lucas, carrying Sakura on his back, did not stop moving. He continued to fly into the distance.
The Tsundere Redhead Onee-san, half-kneeling on the ground, gritted her teeth and mumbled...
"I love you so much! Why... why can't you choose me, why choose that foxy slut!"
"I hate... I hate so much..."
"But... I still love you so much, hehehe... Binbin, no matter how much you resist, it's useless."
"I'll let you know..."
"What true power is."
Muttering strange words, Himeko Murata tried to forcefully stand up.
Under the influence of the Gravity Wave...
The Tsundere Redhead Onee-san's body emitted cracking sounds.
Did it hurt?
Of course, it hurt, but no pain compared to Himeko Murata's heartache.
Watching Lucas fly further and further away with Sakura on his back,
The Tsundere Redhead Onee-san felt her heart being torn apart.
She wished she could dismember Sakura and then first have her way with Lucas before killing him, then having her way again and killing him again.
Some people might be confused at this point.
How can you have your way after killing him?
This was not difficult for Himeko Murata, who was a top student.
One must know...
After a male dies in a specific posture, there is a death erection, and it is the longest and firmest one in his life.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
Flames soared to the sky, and Himeko Murata roared as she stood up.
Under the suppression of the Gravity Wave,
The Tsundere Redhead Onee-san's skin began to crack.
Several unsightly scars spread across her body, and a large amount of blood flowed out, staining her entirely red.
But Himeko Murata didn't care at all; her eyes were only on the departing Lucas.
"You can't escape."
