You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

no doubt.

Angeline is the true "Herrscher of the End," and one of the Herrschers who fights for humanity.

Nina stared blankly at Angeline's figure, feeling as if Angeline's figure had quietly magnified countless times, especially her pair of dazzling golden eyes, which seemed to occupy the entire world, making her feel fear and want to retreat.

"H-How is this possible...? Why would such a powerful Herrscher exist?!"

At this moment, Nina no longer thought about killing everyone; she only wanted to get rid of Maria and the others as soon as possible, then escape Paris, France, and get as far away from Angeline as possible.

Eden nestled against Qiu Bi, her beautiful eyes gazing at Angeline's seemingly domineering figure, already somewhat mesmerized.

Only when the "Herrscher of the End" was no longer an enemy did she truly appreciate just how beautiful the "Herrscher of the End" was.

"This is... the 'Herrscher of the End' belonging to humanity."

"Ellie, you definitely made the right decision..."

Eden murmured softly, as if he saw the figure of his old friend in Angeline.

"what?"

Qiu Bi's sudden exclamation of surprise immediately pulled Eden back to reality, causing her to look down at the battle with a puzzled expression.

Perhaps driven by an urgent desire to stop Nina, or perhaps because Nina's strength had greatly increased, Maria was unable to even land a hit on Nina and was severely injured in their very first encounter.

To be precise, Nina did not attack Maria at all.

The moment Maria approached Nina, the God-Slaying Armor "Radiant Knight: Moonlit Blade" "betrayed" her, willingly becoming Nina's "blade".

—The God-Slaying Armor "Radiant Knight: Luna Kindred" is also a "metal product".

Since Nina had not previously affected the Godslayer Armor or the Valkyrie Armor, no one made that connection.

It's safe to say that Maria will have a hard time participating in this battle unless she takes off "Radiant Knight: Moonbeam".

After all, if they can't even get close to Nina, how can they possibly attack her?

Lady Hilfalia snapped her fingers, and a purple void flashed by, sending the heavily injured Maria away from the battlefield and making her appear beside Galina.

Galina reacted quickly, catching Maria in her arms and unleashing her Herrscher powers to heal Maria's injuries at a visible speed.

Chapter 275 Kevin's "Man-Made Collapse"

Thanks to Galina's efforts to save her, Maria was quickly out of danger. Although she was still very weak, her injuries had healed.

Maria, are you alright?

Qiu Bi carried Eden and landed gracefully, turning back to look at Maria, who was being held by Galina.

Maria's face was a little pale, and she shook her head slightly without answering Qiu Bi.

Obvious.

Nina instantly inflicted severe injuries on her, which dealt her a significant blow.

Seeing Maria's disheartened look, Qiu Bi couldn't help but sigh, and then gently comforted her, "Maria, you don't need to be discouraged. Nina is just an exception. After all, her Herrscher powers have absolute control over metal objects."

“But… Brother-in-law, before Nina, there’s Wendy, and I can’t beat Wendy either.”

"This……"

Qiu Bi remained silent for a moment, then changed the subject, saying, "It's alright. After we deal with Nina, I'll take you to Paradise, which should greatly enhance your strength."

Maria opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she kept her mouth shut and stayed dejectedly beside Qiu Bi, watching the battle not far away.

At this moment, Nina and the others have already begun close combat.

Considering Nina's Herrscher powers, Welt and Raven could only support the group from afar and assist them in attacking Nina.

Kiana used her "Saintess Power" to construct a barrier resembling the "Herrscher of Binding," but it only affected Nina.

Under the suppression of the "Saintess's Power", Nina's Herrscher powers were greatly affected, and she had to allocate a portion of her Honkai energy to resist the "Saintess's Power" in order to prevent Kiana from directly stripping away the Herrscher core.

In addition, Kevin also abandoned the Judgment of Heavenly Fire and used the power of ice and snow to fight against Nina.

In the extreme cold of ice and snow, the metal Nina controls becomes brittle due to the low temperature, and can be shattered with a single blow.

Realizing that Kevin's abilities were somewhat restrained from her own, Nina immediately changed the form of her powers, integrating the power of the Herrscher of Flame into her own, imbuing the metal with intense heat to resist the brittleness of the ice and snow.

Subsequently, she stopped using the power of the Herrscher of Metal to attack Kevin and instead used the power of the Herrscher of Flame specifically to target Kevin, thereby limiting his effectiveness.

The blazing flames seemed to burn the entire night, transforming into an inverted bowl of fire that enveloped Kevin alone within it.

In response, Lady Hilfalia narrowed her beautiful eyes, raised her folding fan and waved it, banishing the fire bowl released by Nina into the imaginary space.

"Although I am not good at fighting, please feel free to leave the support work to me."

Lady Hilfalia chuckled softly, letting her voice travel through the purple void to everyone's ears.

Kevin, true to his "iceberg" personality, nodded silently in acknowledgment.

Kevin and Fu Hua are destined to be the main force in this battle. The others will be greatly weakened because they cannot use weapons. They can provide assistance from the sidelines, but they are not enough to participate in the battle of the Herrschers.

Cecilia and Bianca need to protect Kiana from Nina's attacks.

"Hua, please assist me in this battle—although you have lost your past memories, your past combat experience is etched into your instincts, so... I trust you."

sound off.

Kevin did not hesitate to demonstrate the posture of "artificial collapse", instantly releasing a Honkai energy reaction comparable to Nina's.

After displaying the "artificial collapse" posture, Kevin grew two horns belonging to Honkai Beasts, resembling bull horns, yet emitting a faint golden glow. Behind him, a pitch-black and incomplete left wing appeared, and a black tail grew from his waist.

In addition, Kevin's lower body and arms were covered by a black Honkai Beast exoskeleton, emanating a terrifying chill.

Seeing Kevin's change, Nina couldn't help but frown. She could no longer see anyone else and stared at Kevin, who was in a state of "artificial collapse".

"This is……"

Nina has confirmed one thing—

Kevin will be the strongest enemy she encounters besides Angeline!

"Herrscher... prepare to die!"

As soon as Kevin finished speaking, a dazzling bolt of lightning flashed from afar.

Nina didn't even glance at the dazzling lightning bolt; she simply waved her hand casually, and the lightning bolt abruptly changed direction, turning back towards the direction it had come from.

As the dazzling lightning approached, the raven only had time to move half of its body to avoid a fatal blow.

Even so, the bullets fired by the Seven Thunders of Purification still pierced through the raven's body.

If Galina hadn't been there, Raven would most likely have died from his injuries by the time the battle ended.

The next moment, Lady Hilfalia delivered the raven along with the Seven Thunders of Purification to Galina's side.

Seeing this, Galina immediately began "working" to heal the raven with all her might.

"They can actually ignore the Seven Thunders of Purification now..."

Qiu Bi muttered to himself.

Although Nina did not demonstrate "continental-level" strength, based on Wendy's current strength, Qiu Bi could easily conclude that Nina possessed the power to easily destroy a continent, but was hesitant and therefore did not choose to directly destroy one.

After all, Nina wanted to find "Iserline," and if Iserline were on the continent she destroyed, she would surely collapse completely.

Kevin ignored Raven's situation and strolled toward Nina.

As he moved forward, an intense, extreme cold emanated from him, as if even space and time were about to freeze.

Under the influence of the extreme cold, the metal near Kevin became extremely brittle.

Even with Nina infusing it with intense heat, it was difficult to maintain its original hardness.

Nina's strength was already suppressed by the "Saintess Power," and the Herrscher of Flame's power was constantly monitored by Lady Sylpharia, making it difficult to restrict Kevin's ice and snow power.

At this point, Nina had resigned herself to her fate, knowing that it was time to give it her all.

Once she defeats Kevin, she can try to escape the city and get away from the figure silently watching her from the sky.

"Will you kill me, or will I defeat you...?"

Nina murmured to herself, no longer actively controlling the surrounding metal, but instead drawing all the Honkai energy into her body and strengthening the metal outer layer around her body once more.

Crimson lines quietly emerged, climbing up the metal exterior as if cast from molten lava, radiating a crimson glow and a terrifying heat.

The front of the double-toothed harpoon held by the metal arm behind Nina also underwent a significant change, transforming from its original silver-white color to crimson.

To counter Kevin's "artificial collapse" state, Nina must rely primarily on the powers of the Herrscher of Flame.

The Herrscher of Metal's power alone would put him in an extremely passive position, unable to harm Kevin or even withstand his attacks.

Chapter 276 Angeline Makes a Move

Kevin strolled closer to Nina, his expression remaining calm and unhurried.

In contrast, Nina's expression was very solemn. Even with all her might, she couldn't feel much security from activating the core of the Herrscher of Flame.

After a few seconds of careful consideration, Nina decided to take the initiative, wielding the metal arm behind her with a double-toothed harpoon and launching a fierce attack on Kevin.

Kevin effortlessly parried Nina's attacks. Whenever the harpoon came at him, solid ice would appear and just in time to block the attack.

In his "artificial collapse" state, Kevin's physical defense alone was enough to withstand "continental-level" attacks.

Taking advantage of the moment Nina launched her attack, Kevin delivered a heavy punch to Nina's abdomen.

Under Kevin's relentless blows, Nina felt as if her lower abdomen had been struck by a Judgment-level Honkai Beast.

Although her metal outer garment was undamaged, she felt a terrible impact on her abdomen, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

In addition, Kevin's fist was imbued with an extremely cold aura, instantly freezing Nina's metallic outer garment.

Seeing this, Nina quickly created distance and simultaneously activated the power of the Herrscher of Flame to melt the ice in her lower abdomen.

Seeing that Nina had given up her attack, Kevin changed his previous leisurely pace and took the initiative to attack Nina.

Meanwhile, Fu Hua's attacks were interspersed occasionally, keeping Nina busy.

True.

Fu Hua's attack could not break through the metal armor, but it contained a peculiar "soft force" that could directly penetrate Nina's metal armor.

"hateful!"
