Ning Rongrong: "You are going to assist first in the soul master duel? Then let me ask you, how do you break the golden bell that the teacher taught me?" Qian Renxue: "Answer me, is the black angel an angel? The teacher said that the blackening is three points stronger, how do you solve it?" Shui Bing'er: "The frost and ice melted by the teacher's hand! " Huo Wu: "Teacher, my Mars is going to evolve into the sun! I need the teacher to help me cool down!"

Chapter 3: Page 3

There was no other way. Without thinking any further, Xilin activated the Honkai energy. Honkai beasts appeared around her, all of them were lightweight Assault-level beasts. She hoped to create some chaos and help her escape from the clutches of the Fire Moth. Suddenly, a sound in the distance attracted Xilin's attention. "Zhenshi, run!" a female voice could be heard faintly. There were also loud gunshots from behind. Xilin was a little bit upset. Guns were mass-produced weapons like the Holy Relic 2nd, or divine keys like the Judgment of Heavenly Fire. Damn it, he started shooting before he even saw me, trying to show his presence. Did he think he had me in his grasp? In this case, I will ambush you. Xilin thought viciously in his heart. Hiding in a blind spot, Xilin looked at the corner hundreds of meters away. Once there was any movement in the crowdfunding group ④⑤⑥壹二7940, he would launch a fierce attack. Here they come! Someone in the distance rushed out. Xilin didn't have time to see who the enemy was, so he ordered his assault-level Honkai beasts to charge. Dozens of Honkai beasts rushed towards the enemy like arrows. "Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Xilin himself did not relax either, and used his [Spear of the Sub-Sky] to its fullest extent. Within a few seconds, he launched five consecutive attacks, and projections of the Spear of the Sub-Sky flew towards the target one by one. In the distance, Tohka Mio had just pulled Tohka Shinji to avoid the pursuit of Westcott and his group of people. As soon as they turned the corner, they were attacked like a storm. Mio narrowed her eyes and looked at the attack in front of her. There was no doubt that she could survive such an attack, but Shinshi was only a mortal, and if he was hit, he might die. Thinking of this, the spiritual power in Takamiya Mio's body surged. At present, the angels in her body have not been completely released, so naturally she can use the Burning Demon Killer. With the appearance of flames, the heavy artillery mode of the Scorching Demon Destroyer appeared in Takamiya Mio's hand, and a red light appeared at the muzzle. With a bang, the dozens of Breakthrough-level Honkai beasts were all reduced to ashes. Only the Sub-Sky Spear, which existed in an imaginary number and did not exist in this world, was still advancing. Smoke filled the space between the two sides. Takamiya Mio saw the attacking Sub-Sky Spear at a glance, and pulled Shinshi to dodge at a speed that was impossible for a human. On the other side, Xilin only saw a man and a woman coming from the opposite side. A red shadow appeared out of thin air in the woman's hand (he couldn't see clearly what it was), and then a burst of flames burned her Honkai beast to death. Chapter 5: Death caused by incorrect operation It must be the Fire Chaser! The weapon just now was the Key of God? Red? It couldn't be the Fire Judgement in the form of a great sword! Although it didn't seem like Kevin was holding the sword, Xilin didn't have time to think too much. Without hesitation, she activated [Phase Shuttle] and used [Sub-Sky Spear] at the same time, trying to get close to the enemy before they could react, trap them with [Chain of Nothingness], and then quickly get rid of them. There was a flickering light on the ground, and every time the light flashed, a figure would appear and wave his hand, bringing a few sub-sky spears, shooting towards where Takamiya Mio was. Looking at this dense and unstoppable attack, Takamiya Mio naturally had no choice but to summon the ice puppet again to resist and prevent it from hurting the real person. As the rabbit angel was summoned, solid ice emitting white mist emerged in the air, and the materialized Sub-Sky Spears all "banged" and "banged" on it, exploding into pieces of broken ice. Xilin narrowed his eyes. He could summon ice. He was a fusion warrior with Pavani's genes. No wonder he could use the Judgment of Heavenly Fire. As the light flickered rapidly, Xilin got closer and closer to the other person, and could even see the other person's face through the smoke. Why doesn't this person look like someone from Honkai Impact 3rd, but instead looks like Takamiya Mio from Date A Live???

Xilin realized that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to gamble, and still swung the Spear of the Sky in her hand towards the opposite side. With the last activation of [Phase Shuttle], Xilin finally shuttled from the opponent's front to the back. [Chain of Nothingness] activated! The most basic [Chain of Nothingness] had not been enhanced in any way and could only trap the opponent for three seconds. However, three seconds was enough. A golden circle enveloped the woman who was suspected to be Takamiya Mio, and the area where she was located entered a state of time and space deceleration. Just as Xilin was about to turn around and give Tohmiya Mio the final blow, a gunshot suddenly came from behind. "boom!" [Phase Shuttle]! Xilin was shocked and dodged the attack. But this attack did not seem to be directed at Xilin. The bullet continued to move forward and went straight to Takamiya Mio. "Mio!" As a male voice sounded, the blue-haired boy stood in front of Takamiya Mio without any hesitation, as she was unable to dodge due to the deceleration of time and space. "Ts!" It was the sound of a bullet hitting flesh. The blue-haired boy's eyes widened. A red hole appeared on his chest. Blood slowly seeped out from his clothes, staining the surrounding area red. He lowered his head and seemed to be muttering something like "Mio" in his mouth. His legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground powerlessly. "Little Master!" After three seconds, Takamiya Mio finally got rid of the influence of time and space deceleration and rushed directly to the blue-haired boy. She held the blue-haired boy's head with one hand, and reached out to the blue-haired boy's wound with the other hand tremblingly, with a flash of spiritual power in her hand, trying to save him. But it seemed too late. The power of spiritual energy repaired the blue-haired boy's body, but this body was soulless, and the blue-haired boy did not wake up in the end. At this time, Xilin finally confirmed that this was the world of Date A Live, and confirmed Westcott in front and Takamiya Mio behind him. "Oh no, I seem to be in trouble!" Xilin looked at the trembling girl in front of him who was holding the blue-haired boy, feeling a little uneasy. But before she could think about it, a voice came from behind. "So, besides the original elves, are there others who have such magical powers?" "Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott..." Xilin said as he looked at the person in front of him. "Oh, so you know me?" The man with gray-blonde hair and rusty eyes said with a smile. Xilin did not answer him. He raised his hand and threw out several spears of the sky, calling out. However, the man opposite did not seem to be panicked at all. "Ping!" "Pong!" With two blocking sounds, the two Sub-Earth Spears that were supposed to hit Westcott were blocked by a woman in her 30s with silver hair and purple eyes. The attack hit the random field that could change the properties of objects. That was Ellen Mira Mathers, another of the three magicians who created the original elves. The device she used to resist the spear of the sub-sky was the first generation of product manifestation device developed by DEM that integrated magician knowledge into modern technology. For Allen, without the manifestation device, she is just an ordinary person with no power. However, once she has the manifestation device, she is the world's number one magician, and her strength can even compete with the elves thirty years later, and even defeat and capture them.

While Xilin and Allen were confronting each other, an unexpected change occurred to Takamiya Mio in the back. She looked at the two people confronting each other in front of her with hatred, and the burning ghost-killer in her hand slowly appeared. "Give me back the Shinshi!!!" Due to the grief of losing her beloved, Mio attacked without reservation. Endless flames were like a light cannon, or like heavenly fire unsheathed, blasting straight towards the two of them. While Xilin and Allen were confronting each other, they suddenly noticed a scorching red light with oppressive heat coming towards them, catching them off guard. Alan hurriedly turned on the shield in the display device. The light of the shield was shaking in the sea of ​​fire, but it still protected Alan and Westcott behind him. Xilin quickly used [Phase Shuttle] again, but this time she was not so lucky. Because she did not shuttle in time, Xilin was still affected by the heat wave. Her clothes were damaged, and her hair and body smelled faintly of burning feathers. After being burned, the burning pain passed through Xilin's nerves and directly stimulated her brain. Part of her fair skin even turned black. "Is this the true strength of the original elf?" Xilin swallowed and took a few steps back in fear. As the Burning Demon Killer's attack came to an end, the Storm Piercer appeared in Takamiya Mio's hand again. Endless storms condensed from the tip of her spear, accelerating instantly and heading straight forward. Allen's manifestation device seems to have not yet developed long-range weapons such as light cannons and micro missiles, and Xilin has no better way to attack except the Sub-Sky Spear. Both of them can only passively defend. Due to the fluidity of the air, the storm spread in all directions and dispersed into countless wind blades, and Xilin was inevitably cut with several bloody marks. "Fuck, wind, ice, fire, I feel like she's more suitable as a Hermit than me." Xilin looked at the sky, feeling very bitter. "Boom!" A cannonball in the distance hit Tohmiya Mio, as if humanity's delaying cannon fodder had arrived. Chapter 6: After being chased by the initial elves "boom!" As the shells exploded, the smoke and dust floated around Takamiya Mio. The people in the smoke and dust were unharmed, and a protective shield formed by spiritual power was firmly covering Tohnomiya Mio and Tohnomiya Shinshi. Then, as white light appeared on Takamiya Mio's body, the pure white wedding dress, the silk of light extending from the circle above her head, enveloped her body. Takamiya Mio just waved her right hand, and the spiritual outfit of the Angel of Extinction, Sun Wheel, was immediately activated, creating a large amount of light bullet rain that bombarded the surroundings. The human positions suffered heavy losses in an instant under her bombardment. Blood, broken limbs, and wailing filled the battlefield. "Ah! Help me!" "demon!" "Kill her now!" Countless curses and wails echoed on the battlefield. "Artillery support!" Following the commander's order, countless artillery fire began to attack. Shells one after another hit Takamiya Mio's protective shield like raindrops. The protective shield was slightly rippled, but could not be broken. After all, how could human technology surpass the magic of the entire world?

After casually sending away the human troops that attacked her, Takamiya Mio looked towards where Westcott and Xilin were with a gloomy face. After all, they were the murderers who killed Shinshi. When Takamiya Mio turned around, she found that Alan and Westcott had already run away, leaving only Xilin watching there. "Huh?" Xilin looked at Toumiya Mio who suddenly turned towards him, and suddenly had a bad feeling. Host…… What's wrong? Xilin asked in his heart. I advise you to run! ! ! The system's voice suddenly increased, frightening Xilin so much that he couldn't help but shrink his head and blink. When she opened her eyes again, Xilin suddenly discovered that Takamiya Mio was suddenly in front of her, holding a huge flaming battle axe in her hand. With a clang, the battle axe was swung and hit Xilin's body. Xilin flew backwards and hit the concrete wall heavily. "Cough cough..." Xilin looked at the cracks on the wall and felt that the other party was very strong and he could hardly get up. Seeing the enemy fall to the ground, Takamiya Mio did not hesitate and pursued the victory. He continued to drag the Burning Demon Slayer towards Xilin. "Come back!" Seeing that the other party was ready to kill her, Xilin had no choice but to grit her teeth and secretly prepare her own moves. When Tohnomiya Mio was still seven or eight steps away from Xilin, Tohnomiya Mio fiercely swung the giant axe in his hand, and the giant axe flew out of his hand with a huge force and smashed straight towards Xilin. [Phase Shuttle] [Chain of Nothingness] activated! As the skill was activated, Xilin's figure disappeared instantly, and then he passed through the giant axe and Takamiya Mio and appeared behind the opponent. The golden circle of light appeared again on Tohka Mio's body, and she was hit by the same skill again, slowed down by time and space. At the moment when Tohka Mio was slowed down by time and space, countless bullets and artillery shells poured onto the battlefield between Tohka Mio and Xilin. "Damn! Humans are also displeased with me." Xilin looked at the humans in the distance, activated the second shuttle, and said unhappily. There was no way out. Xilin looked at the indestructible spiritual outfit on Takamiya Mio, and then looked at his own skill [Spear of the Sub-Sky] which had just been upgraded to the first level. He knew that he could not cause any harm to Takamiya Mio, so he had to look at her. After communicating with the Herrscher Core again, Xilin planned to run away. Although [Chain of Nothingness] could only slow down the time and space of Takamiya Mio for three seconds, this time was enough for her to escape. There was a ripple in the space, and Xilin left amid the resentment of Chonggong Mio and the surprised eyes of the army. With a bang, a space shock appeared, Xilin left the original place and moved back to the original huge pit. "Cough cough..." Originally, the slap from Takamiya Mio caused her a lot of damage. After finding herself in an uninhabited area, Xilin finally relaxed completely. This seemed to be the place where she had stayed at the beginning. It was obvious that the remaining Honkai energy here was very rich. Xilin only felt that the Honkai energy was continuously entering her body and repairing her wounds. The comfortable feeling made her squint her eyes. But she opened her eyes again, and her beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown. It seems that this time, Takamiya Mio has been completely offended... Originally, Xilin was just afraid of the fusion warriors in the collapsed world, and was afraid of being chopped down by Kevin and others. Now she realizes that this is not a collapsed world, but she has offended the original elf because of this. Why is this happening? Finding out that you don’t have to be hunted by fusion warriors, and finding yourself in the world of harem, these are two perfect things, but why is this the result when they are put together?

Life is not easy, Xilin sighed. Due to the pressure brought by Takamiya Mio, Xilin must quickly improve her strength, which reminds her of the system. System, shouldn't you explain it? Ah, yes, yes. The system seemed to have no idea what was going on and started to falter. No matter what Xilin asked it, it said it didn't know.
