Collapse: The World I Live In

With the battle on Alicia's side over, let's return our attention to Himeko and Kevin.

Although Kevin and Himeko were two against one at this time, they were still suppressed by the Herrscher. The two could only defend themselves awkwardly. At this time, the Herrscher's attack suddenly stopped, and Himeko and Kevin took the opportunity to retreat.

"Himeko, what should we do? This is not a solution." Kevin asked, staring at the Herrscher.

"If there is no other choice, we can only release the power of weapons..." Himeko said deeply.

“…I understand…” As soon as Kevin heard what Himeko said, he knew that he had to fight to the death this time. He said to himself, “Mei, please bless me…” and then he gripped the sword tightly.

"Damn human, you actually wiped out my followers, my followers! Die!" The Herrscher sensed the death of his companion Honkai beast and became furious. The concentration of his Honkai energy skyrocketed, and the entire city was enveloped by a tornado. The hurricane kept blowing, and Kevin and Himeko could only insert their swords deeply into the ground to avoid being blown away by the wind.

"Kevin, lift the limit!" Himeko yelled at Kevin.

"Understood!" Kevin replied.

"Sword! Suck my blood! x2" As Himeko and Kevin's voices fell, a sharp spike spit out from the handles of [Honglian] and [Longyan] and pierced Himeko and Kevin's hands. The blood flowing on the hands was gradually absorbed by the big swords. Gradually, the two big swords emitted dazzling flames. Dark red marks appeared on Kevin's right cheek, and the flames on the big swords dimmed and black flames appeared. Himeko had bright red marks on his left cheek, and the flames released by the big swords became brighter and brighter.

The flames released by the two greatswords collided with the Herrscher's hurricane in the air, emitting heat waves in all directions, and soon calmed down.

Himeko and Kevin simultaneously raised their swords and confronted the Herrscher.

Himeko and Kevin exhaled hot air at the same time, and then attacked the Herrscher, slashing at him from the left and right, but the Herrscher simply stretched out his hands to block Himeko and Kevin's swords. If you look closely, you can see that the Herrscher's hands were blocked by the swords before they even touched the swords.

"It's useless! It's useless! God's power is not..." The Herrscher said with a smile on her face. But before she could mock him, she suddenly felt the heat and pain in her hand. Her expression changed and she was no longer as relaxed as before.

The two people who observed the Herrscher's expression didn't say much. They tacitly increased their strength and successfully knocked the Herrscher away.

After rolling on the ground for a few circles, the Herrscher quickly controlled the wind to stabilize his body, looking at his hands in disbelief. It turned out that Kevin and Himeko's attacks penetrated the Herrscher's shield and burned his hands. The Herrscher looked at his hands, which were originally as white as jade and had a layer of skin burned away by the flames. He murmured, "How is this possible? How is this possible? Why am I hurt?" Then he covered his face with his hands.

"Nothing is impossible, this is the power of human beings!" Himeko was not idle either. While the Herrscher was talking to himself, she rushed to the Herrscher and attacked him with the greatsword. The flame of the greatsword collided violently with the Herrscher's shield. After all, there was only Himeko this time, and neither the Herrscher nor Himeko could do anything to the other. When Kevin was about to step forward to finish off the enemy, the Herrscher suddenly stared at Himeko, and the eyes between the Herrscher's fingers made Himeko feel a little creepy.

"Go to hell!" the Herrscher said indifferently, raising his right hand, which was filled with wind elements, spinning continuously until the wind in his hand made a buzzing sound, "Wind whirl!" the Herrscher said. Himeko felt something was wrong when she heard this sound, and quickly drew back her sword to block in front of her. Fortunately, Himeko drew back her attack in time, and the spinning wind hit the sword in Himeko's hand, knocking Himeko and the sword away.

Himeko, who was knocked flying, quickly used her greatsword to stab the ground to slow down. Because of the [Over Limit], she temporarily lost her sense of pain, so she did not stop to rest for a moment, and cooperated with Kevin to attack the Herrscher.

Under the coordinated attack of Kevin and Himeko, although the Herrscher was defeated step by step, he was only at a disadvantage. It seemed that Kevin and Himeko had an advantage, but in fact, this state of Himeko and Kevin was time-limited. They could not compare to the Herrscher who could be at his peak state as long as he had Honkai energy.

"Hehe~ Is there a time limit for your current state? Give up, I will be the winner in the end!" The Herrscher said to the two of them.

Himeko and Kevin did not respond to the Herrscher's words, but tried their best to find a chance to break through, but the Herrscher's defense was impeccable.

"Hmph~ No answer? Then I'll make sure your life ends faster!" The Herrscher was about to explode and deal a heavy blow to Himeko and Kevin, when a flash of lightning flashed in the air, and then a blood flower appeared on the Herrscher's abdomen.

"Phew, luckily we made it." Hen wiped the sweat from his forehead on the roof of a building and said, "It's up to you guys from now on, Himeko, Kevin." Looking at the Seven Thunders of Purification that turned back into slingshots, Hen was speechless.

"Hey? How could this happen..." The Herrscher was amazed. She didn't understand why. What could penetrate her protective shield? She quickly covered the wound on her abdomen and tried to retreat.

"Good opportunity! Kevin!" Seeing the appearance of the Herrscher, Himeko hurriedly said to Kevin. At this time, the condition of both of them was not very good, especially Himeko, her body was not as strong as Kevin's. Her eyes were already full of bloodshot and were about to bleed.

"Understood!" Kevin replied.

After saying that, the two men slashed at the Herrscher. This time, the Herrscher did not react and had no time to defend himself. Himeko and Kevin cut off the two wings beside the Herrscher with one sword each, and then hit the Herrscher on the back again. The recovery time of this action was very short. Before the Herrscher could react from the pain in his abdomen, he was hit by the scorching flames on his back again. The Herrscher could not help but scream, "Ah!"

Himeko and Kevin did not show any mercy to the Herrscher despite his screams and continued to attack him.

"Last five minutes! Kevin!" Himeko said to Kevin. This is the final time limit for the [Overlimit] mode. If the Herrscher has not been defeated within these five minutes, humanity will lose this battle.

"Got it!" Kevin said loudly.

After saying this, the two of them sped up their movements, and the injuries on the Herrscher became more and more serious.

"The last blow!" Kevin roared. Kevin was in a very miserable condition at this time. Half of his clothes on his upper body had been blown to pieces by the wind, and his exposed skin was also badly injured. "The explosion that burns everything! Here! The verdict!" After that, a giant bird that was bigger than ever before and with black flames cried and attacked the Herrscher.

The Herrscher felt the threat of death from the giant bird. He ignored the wound in his abdomen and stretched out his hands to gather all his remaining strength to form a wind wall in front of him. The wall collided violently with the giant bird. The Herrscher roared, "Stop it!"

Himeko looked at the Herrscher who was in a stalemate with Kevin, gritted her teeth, jumped into the air, held the greatsword with both hands and raised it above her head, "The red lotus flame buried deep in the dark ground, breathe in the breath of fire, and burn the enemy's body! Here! Cut it off!" The [Red Lotus] responded to Himeko's expectations and erupted with unprecedented flames. The bright flames illuminated the entire city. Everyone looked at the flame in the center of the city. Whether it was Alicia, Hen, or Hua, as well as the entire Fire Moth, they all put their hands together and prayed, "Win! Himeko, Kevin!"

Himeko seemed to sense the power of the crowd, and exerted all his strength, roaring and slashing at the Herrscher, "Ahhhh!"

Himeko's flames slashed through the giant bird released by Kevin and split the shield of the Herrscher.

"No, don't..." The Herrscher looked at the greatsword that was about to hit him, tears streaming down his eyes.

But the Herrscher's plea was obviously useless. Himeko's sword pierced through the Herrscher's body, and the Herrscher's eyes dimmed. At the last moment of his life, the Herrscher suddenly thought, "Mom... I'm here to accompany you...", and then he lost his breath...

Seeing the Herrscher who had lost his life, Himeko also let go of the sword and fell straight back to the ground, breathing the air greedily. At this moment, after the [Over Limit] state was lifted, not only did Himeko's eyes bleed, but the pain and fatigue accumulated from the battle were immediately revealed. However, Himeko, who fell to the ground, did not grit her teeth and stand firm. She did not cry out, but was in so much pain that she could not speak.

Kevin also limped to Himeko's side, looked at the Herrscher's body, and said, "I won..." His condition was much better than Himeko's, at least he could still walk, but his injuries were still very serious, and he would not be able to get out of bed for at least two months. Himeko's condition was even worse, at least twice as long as Kevin's, and it would take more than four months to recover.

"Yeah... I won..." Himeko said in a hoarse voice while still lying on the ground.

At this point, the fourth collapse ends!

The fourth Herrscher's Slayer - Kevin, Himeko!
