Chapter 126 The Devil's Wings
……
"So, can you grow a cute, fluffy tail?"
Leaving the sky and strolling through the city, Seele relentlessly pressed him for the sixth time about this question.
Yun Fuyu said with a dark face, "I suggest you put on the cat ears and tail that Wilvi gave you first!"
Seele: "No way! Seele has absolutely no interest in those risqué things~"
"...Are you serious?"
On the street, neon lights flashed brightly, shop windows displayed the latest fashion items, and rich aromas wafted from bakeries and cafes. Children ran by laughing and playing, gathering in front of bread windows with their mouths watering.
Against this peaceful backdrop, Seele clasped her hands together beside her face, feigning a pitiful expression, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother Yun~~ Seele just wanted to see your cute tail~"
Her innocent big eyes blinked, as if she really wasn't thinking about anything risqué, but rather a pure young girl pleading for her beloved to look at her more.
Yun Fuyu shuddered violently. WTF! Seele, have you already learned how to use the World Bubble Seele skill?
Who wouldn't be confused by this?
Yun Fuyu forced herself to look away: "Um, our free time is almost over, let's hurry to the meeting point..."
Seeing his reaction, Seele secretly chuckled to herself, took his hand, and gave a pitiful "Mmm~" before obediently following behind him.
The image of a delicate young girl and a boy rushing along makes it look like Seele is dragging behind him, holding his hand, while Yun Fuyu is sideways, trying to move forward like in a tug-of-war.
The scene was so beautiful that, for some inexplicable reason, Yun Fuyu felt as if she had done something wrong.
But! Seele can wear a cat tail, but he could never grow a tail! This is a matter of principle!
Pedestrians looked at the strange young couple with curiosity, and they all gave them knowing, sidelong smiles.
"..."
However, this peaceful routine was suddenly shattered.
On the horizon, a subtle force began to emanate, like a powerful magnetic field that attracted people's attention while resisting anyone's approach.
At first, people thought it was some kind of magic trick and gathered together out of curiosity. But as the deep roars grew clearer, an uneasy atmosphere began to brew, and the whispers quickly turned into shouts of accusation!
Yun Fuyu and Xier hurried on their way with their heads down. Xier was the first to notice something unusual. She quickly grabbed Yun Fuyu's hand and pulled him toward the strange place.
—This shows that Seele's attributes are actually stronger than Yun Fuyu's in all aspects... Hmph, but she is the delicate and cute little Seele, and you are not allowed to use other words to describe her!
"Xi'er, what's wrong?" Yun Fuyu asked.
Seele's expression turned grave: "It's the aura of a Pokémon summon... ugh! It's the aura of the Imaginary Dimensional Path!"
Pokémon?
Seele glanced at him sideways, a dangerous aura beginning to brew within her: "You...heard...mistakenly, didn't you?"
Yun: "...Um! It's been so long since I cleaned my ears, could you please help me, dear Seele?"
They kept talking and walking, quickly heading towards the location of the imaginary passage.
Pushing through the crowd, enveloped in a high concentration of Honkai energy, Yun Fuyu stepped forward and shouted through a Honkai energy megaphone, "It's dangerous here! It might be a high-magnetic bomb! I've already called the police. Anyone who doesn't want to give a statement, get out of here now!!"
It was all Xia Ji's nonsense, but the last sentence was absolutely fatal! The crowd dispersed, leaving only a few people who were watching the live stream or recording the scene.
"Well, there's no other way then. Optimizing the population structure is a good option." Yun Fuyu took out her communicator to contact the local branch of the Fire Moth, but suddenly froze.
This city is the main base of the Poison Chrysalis organization, and the Fire Moth branch is just a subservient subordinate. Kevin brought them here to weaken the Poison Chrysalis, and to avoid Yunxi and her companion being too inexperienced and alerting the enemy, he deliberately didn't invite them along.
At this point, is contacting the Moth Chasing Fire branch meant to alert the enemy or to deceive others?
"How about...we solve it ourselves?"
Yun Fuyu asked Xi'er for her opinion. Xi'er understood his concerns and quickly realized his worries.
Because their strength is actually very, very strong, blocking the imaginary channel is not a problem, and dealing with a small number of wandering Honkai Beasts is also not a problem.
After all, Seele is a Herrscher.
Seele said seriously, "My Herrscher Core is in the hands of the Flame Chaser, so its endurance is limited, and it can't fully control the Honkai Beasts. If you've made up your mind, then we must go all out and try to resolve this issue in one go, without letting anyone get hurt!"
After some deliberation, Yun Fuyu, confident in his abilities, decided to rely solely on the two of them to resolve the situation!
Soon, the concentration of Honkai energy surged, and the imaginary channel was about to condense and take shape. Yun Fuyu searched through this high-risk area and finally fixed his gaze on a metal object the size of a human head.
This is the Honkai Energy Core Reactor.
In other words, this collapse was likely man-made.
Yun Fuyu paused for a moment, wondering who would do such a thing. But the threat before him was the Imaginary Channel. He took a few high-definition photos of the reactor, then exchanged a glance with Seele to confirm they were ready. He then condensed Honkai energy into a sharp blade and pierced the reactor through!
In the blink of an eye, several consecutive strikes shattered the reactor into fragments, briefly unleashing a burst of Honkai energy before ceasing its activity. Simultaneously, the surge in Honkai energy caused the imaginary channel to rapidly take shape!
Seele conjured a giant white flower to block the Imaginary Dimension Passage! Yun Fuyu arrived shortly after, swiftly dispatching several Honkai Beasts that squeezed out from the gap with two swift strikes. Then, he used his own power to clash with Seele's power, blasting the Imaginary Dimension Passage through!
The stable imaginary channel was blasted into chaotic spatial turbulence, and the inexplicable wails and roars lasted only for a brief moment. Yun Fuyu could sense the strange aura emanating from the imaginary world, but it vanished in an instant.
Okay, that's how skilled a warrior is! The danger has been reduced by more than half.
Looking around, several Honkai Beasts, either moving quickly or emerging from other gaps, were already raising their razor-sharp limbs, attempting to attack passersby!
People panicked, screams, pleas, and sirens filled the air. Fortunately, the situation was not too serious.
Seele and Yun Fuyu split up to deal with the scattered Honkai Beasts.
"—!"
A sharp cry rang out in the distance. There were no pedestrians or Honkai Beasts near Yun Fuyu. He stretched his shoulders, and his wings reappeared, flapping to propel Yun Fuyu's body at a speed faster than a train, quickly reaching the source of the cries for help. A blade materialized in his hand, and with a single strike, he decapitated a Knight-class Honkai Beast!
He thought his move was very cool, but the girl on the ground, who was crying for help with tears streaming down her face, burst into an even sharper cry for help. She would rather have her delicate skin scratched by the rough road surface than crawl uncoordinatedly on her hands and feet to get to the distance!
—If someone had seen Yun Fuyu's appearance, they would have known why the girl was crying so shrilly.
His wings.
It has no feathers, no luster, only exposed dark red muscles and a mottled, interwoven shell like that of a Honkai Beast, with veins and purple Honkai energy patterns climbing each other, the edges sharp as knives.
When he expressionlessly slashed down a Honkai Beast, purple Honkai energy burned around him like hellfire, the sharp blade in his hand gleamed with a dangerous cold light, and his pair of ugly, demonic wings exuded an aura of deathly terror, far more terrifying than any Honkai Beast.
