Himeko, who had originally still been a bit worried that Theresa might run into danger.
Now completely put her mind at ease.
After some time, Levi put Judah back on his back. Behind him was a ground full of Honkai beast corpses, slowly dissipating.
He spat on the ground and said unhappily, "I thought they'd be strong, but it turns out they still go down in one hit each."
Aside from that Temple-class one that successfully assassinated the Herrscher of the Void, which had some strength and took two of his hits.
The rest all went down in one hit.
Completely no challenge at all, not interesting in the slightest.
'You… I…'
Theresa became somewhat tongue-tied. She didn't know how to describe her feelings.
This feeling was like watching someone else and yourself clearly using the same thing, yet the gap between the two was ridiculously huge.
Was this a difference in skill, or was it because the other party wasn't just using her strength alone?
After all, she was very clear about her own strength.
At the very least, she couldn't do what he just did, knocking one down with each punch.
So relaxed and effortless.
"What's wrong, Theresa? Were you impressed by my technique?", Levi said with a smile.
'Hmph hmph, nothing special!' Theresa put on a disdainful attitude and said, 'You're using this principal's body. This is just this principal's normal level.'
That wasn't wrong either. If Theresa could activate the Honkai beast genes hidden inside her body, then this really would be her normal level.
She could even do the same thing without Judah.
Unfortunately, she still had quite a gap compared to those MANTIS warriors.
Levi just smiled at this and looked toward the distant buildings. "The ones blocking the road are dealt with. Time to handle the real business."
He stepped forward and headed toward Chiba Academy.
———
Chiba Academy, the place where Raiden Mei transformed from a human into a Herrscher, was the center of the Honkai outbreak.
Strangely, the Honkai energy inside was actually even lower than outside the campus.
This was very abnormal. As the birthplace of a Herrscher, the Honkai energy here should be higher than other places.
Unless there was another presence here absorbing all the Honkai energy.
Theresa immediately understood. The pseudo-Herrscher Levi mentioned was very likely inside this academy.
Watching Levi outside controlling her body, humming a tune she couldn't recognize while walking straight toward a certain place in the academy.
It was obvious he knew the exact location of that pseudo-Herrscher.
Suddenly, Levi stopped. The corner of his eye glanced behind him. Seeing the pink figure hiding there, he ignored it and continued forward.
As expected, as long as Theresa appeared in Nagazora City, the pink-haired fox would take the initiative to show up.
It saved him the time of searching. Pretty good.
Levi walked straight into a building, while the pink figure behind him hesitated.
"Kallen…"
"Kallen? She died long ago!"
A huge black shadow appeared behind her. Bloodshot beast eyes looked toward the direction Levi had disappeared, watching the dazed Yae Sakura.
It opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth. Its smile looked somewhat ferocious as it said, "Yae Sakura, stop lying to yourself. That woman died long ago!"
"We've been in the seal for who knows how many hundreds of years. She was just an ordinary human. How could she possibly live until now?"
"As for that little girl, hehe, maybe she's a child she had with someone else."
Yae Sakura's eyes moved slightly, a trace of negative emotion appearing within them.
Noticing this, the black shadow showed a satisfied smile.
But Yae Sakura quickly suppressed the negative emotions in her heart and frowned at the building in front of her.
From her perception, there was a very strong energy reaction inside.
There was probably a powerful enemy inside. If he went in, he might be in danger.
Thinking this, Yae Sakura placed her hand on her sword hilt and, without another thought, entered the building.
The black shadow coldly watched her back. After she entered the building, it slowly disappeared.
Levi jumped backward, dodging the vines stabbing up from the ground, his brows tightly furrowed as he looked at the girl not far ahead.
At this moment, her expression showed slight dissatisfaction. "Tsk! You actually dodged it!"
"May I ask why you're doing this, benefactor?", Levi also looked displeased as he took Judah off his back and looked at her unhappily.
"If you can't sit down and talk properly, this poor monk also knows a bit of fist techniques."
'Levi! Look! The bearing of an S-rank Valkyrie!'
"S-rank Valkyrie my foot! She's already returned to the embrace of the Honkai! She's a pseudo-Herrscher now!"
'Eh?'
Theresa voiced her confusion. Looking at the scene of her being surrounded by thorns, she sighed. 'What a pity.'
Sensing that she truly felt it was a pity, Levi's mouth twitched repeatedly as he took a deep breath.
A thorn quickly lashed toward him, but he grabbed it with one hand. The sharp spikes on it couldn't even pierce his skin.
'Are pseudo-Herrschers this weak?'
Levi looked at her with some disbelief. Was her strength really just like this, or had she not absorbed enough Honkai energy yet?
So that's why she was this weak.
Originally she had defeated Theresa using poison, so maybe her real strength really was like this.
But now she couldn't even cut his skin, so even if she wanted to poison him, it seemed like she had no way to do it.
Rumble! Rumble!
Taking advantage of Levi's inattention, several thorns shot out from behind and directly knocked him flying.
Landing steadily on the ground, Levi covered his chest with both hands and said in an extremely exaggerated tone, "Ah! I'm dead!"
Just as he was pretending to be injured to mock the other side.
From who-knows-what corner behind him, a pink-haired fox suddenly rushed out, directly passing Levi.
Holding a long sword, she cut down all the approaching thorns.
"This… this airheaded idiot!"
The black shadow in the dark ground its teeth. With that exaggerated acting, anyone could tell it was fake.
But this one just rushed in without a word.
Wasn't she afraid the other side would treat her as an attacker and just punch her?
Seeing her suddenly appear, Levi was also full of question marks.
Wasn't she hiding in the shadows? Why did she suddenly run out?
Could it be she got tricked out by his godlike acting?
Levi stroked his chin. "Could it be I'm really a genius?!"
Later he'd go find Guinaifen and ask to be taken as a student to see if he really was a genius.
"Hehe, another one here to die."
Yae Sakura swung the long sword in her hand. Seeing more and more thorns, she sheathed her sword and turned around in one smooth motion.
With nimble steps she dodged all kinds of attacks, preparing to take this suspected descendant of Kallen and leave together.
Levi sidestepped Yae Sakura's arm. Yae Sakura frowned and spoke to him in a tone used to coax children.
"This place is very dangerous. Hurry and leave with big sister."
"Who are you calling little sister!" Levi shot her a sideways glance. "This old lady is 48 this year!"
Hmm? That didn't seem right. Yae Sakura was already hundreds of years old, from the same era as Kallen.
Even if Theresa called her great-grandmother it wouldn't be a problem.
But…
What does that have to do with him?
"This old lady is 48 this year. Who are you calling little sister!"
Looking at the pink-haired fox, First Herrscher catalyst, who had been intimidated by his authority, Levi snorted.
"Step aside! Leave this little one to me!"
He reached his hand toward Judah at the side.
"Judah!"
"..."
