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

“Aurora… this is a long story. Help me to Galina first, and I will heal her injuries.”

As he spoke, Agatha's injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Upon seeing this, Aurora instantly understood many things. She subconsciously opened her mouth, but suddenly choked up and couldn't make a sound.

Chapter 264 The Herald of Metal

Aurora could deduce the general situation from Agatha's rapidly healing body.

Obvious.

The Herrscher that descended this time was not the so-called "Herrscher of Ice," but an unknown Herrscher that countered Galina and Agatha.

The powers of the Herrscher of Death are ineffective against the Herrscher who has descended this time, so Galina handed over her core to Agatha to delay the Fifth Herrscher's advance until Aurora or the Valkyrie forces arrive in Paris.

Unfortunately, the Fifth Herrscher was too powerful. Even though Agatha became a dual-core Herrscher, he still couldn't defeat the Fifth Herrscher and was quickly defeated and captured.

If Aurora hadn't arrived in time, Agatha's situation would have been far more serious than just the core of the Herrscher of Flame being stripped away.

At best, the core of the Herrscher of Death would be stripped away; at worst, Agatha and Galina would be killed by the Fifth Herrscher.

When Aurora helped Agatha to Galina's side, Agatha's injuries had already healed completely, with only her tattered clothes proving that she had suffered very serious injuries.

"call……"

Agatha let out a long breath, slowly opened his right hand, and made the core of the Herrscher of Death float quietly in his palm.

Galina's injuries were too severe, and using the power of the Herrscher of Death to heal her might not be safe. Agatha simply returned the core of the Herrscher of Death to Galina, thus relieving her from her critically injured and near-death state.

As the core of the Herrscher of Death returned to her body, Galina's injuries healed rapidly, while Agatha's body became even weaker.

If Aurora hadn't been supporting her, she might have already collapsed onto the floor.

"Cough cough..."

Galina coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, then struggled to sit up.

After catching her breath, she said anxiously, "Aurora, please contact Aunt Maria immediately..."

"What happened? Galina, don't rush, just tell me slowly."

Aurora quickly tried to calm Galina down, preventing her from becoming too emotionally unstable.

Agatha was already lying on the floor when Galina propped herself up, panting heavily as she tried to recover her weakened body as quickly as possible.

"The Herrscher that has descended this time is not the 'Herrscher of Ice'!"

"Garina, I already know about this. After all, I was the one who rescued you from the Fifth Herrscher."

"No, what I mean is—the Herrschers who have descended this time pose a great threat to humanity!"

Galina grabbed Aurora's shoulder and said urgently, "The Fifth Herrscher's powers are related to metal. The most direct manifestation of this is the ability to control metal or recast it into any shape."

"Metal? The Herrscher of Metal?"

"That's fair to say. Because of the metal protection, my powers are completely ineffective against her, and Agatha's powers are also unlikely to affect her."

Before Aurora could say anything, Agatha gazed up at the brilliant night sky and muttered, "She has already taken the core of the Herrscher of Flame, and is now a dual-core Herrscher."

"Okay, I'll contact Aunt Maria right away. You all get some rest."

Aurora gently comforted Agatha and Galina. After hesitating for a few seconds, she tiptoed and transformed into a blue breeze, disappearing in the next second.

The rooftop floor was too hard for the two girls to rest on, so before contacting Maria, Aurora planned to move a bed for Agatha and Galina to rest on.

Two or three seconds after Aurora left, a streak of blue breeze came from afar and quickly landed on the roof of the tall building.

"Aurora, what are you doing?"

Agata did not look at the blue figure; he remained gazing blankly at the brilliant night sky.

However, her inquiry went unanswered.

Before she could even turn her head to look at the slender figure in blue, her view was already blocked by a figure.

"Agata, what happened here? I heard the Fifth Herrscher is the 'Herrscher of Ice,' how did you end up in such a sorry state?"

"Eh?"

Agatha paused for a moment upon hearing the familiar voice.

The figure that had been obscuring the view gradually came into focus, revealing Qiu Bi's face, which was full of confusion.

Agata immediately sat up and stammered, "Dad, I look disheveled, but I'm actually not hurt at all."

"But you don't look like you're uninjured."

Qiu Bi was puzzled and confused.

Agatha looked extremely disheveled, with numerous holes in her clothes that revealed large areas of her fair skin.

As she said, even though her clothes were badly torn, she had no injuries.

Coincidentally, Galina's body was in the same condition, except that her clothes were less damaged.

"Dad, we failed."

Galina struggled to her feet, then stumbled and fell into Qiu Bi's arms.

Qiu Bi quickly hugged Galina and gently patted her back.

"What happened? Don't worry, you can tell me slowly. Dad is always here for you."

As he spoke, Qiu Bi conjured up a soft bed in his mind.

This was the ability "Manifestation of All Things" that had been given to Lady Hilfalia before. Qiu Bi had already chosen this ability, so manifesting a soft bed was naturally effortless.

Immediately, Qiu Bi manipulated the Azure Wind to lift Agata and carry him to the bed.

As for Eden...

She stood on the edge of the high-rise building, looking down at the desolate city.

The night wind howled past, blowing her long, wine-red hair and the hem of her skirt.

"The Fifth Herrscher that has descended this time is not the 'Herrscher of Ice' predicted by the Human Alliance, but rather the 'Herrscher of Metal' who can manipulate all metals."

"Before the Herrscher of Metal, my powers are completely ineffective, and Agatha's powers are also of little use."

"If I hadn't handed over my Herrscher core to Agatha, we might not have been able to hold out until Aurora arrived."

Galina nestled in Qiu Bi's arms, her cheek pressed against his chest.

Although she had appeared very calm, the feeling of being on the verge of death still left her feeling extremely frightened.

Qiu Bi gently patted Galina's back, giving her a strong sense of security.

"So..." Qiu Bi paused for a moment, then continued, "the holes in your clothes actually represent wounds?"

"Well, putting aside my near-death experience, even with the cores of both the Herrscher of Flame and the Herrscher of Death, Agatha couldn't escape being severely injured. In fact, even the core of the Herrscher of Flame was forcibly stripped away by the Herrscher of Metal."

"Hey! Galina, give me some face in front of Dad."

“Agata, I don’t want to become a bad kid who lies.”

"Tsk."

Agatha pursed his lips, then sprawled out on the soft bed in a "big" pose.

Qiu Bi chuckled and then gently rubbed Galina's head.

"The Herald of Metal..."

"It must be that girl named Nina who suffers from 'insensitivity to pain'?"

Qiu Bi murmured softly, his gaze already fixed on the beautiful figure standing quietly not far away.

Chapter 265 The Valkyrie Squad Arrives in Paris

Perhaps sensing Qiu Bi's gaze, or perhaps hearing Qiu Bi's murmur, Eden suddenly turned around and looked at Qiu Bi.

"The Herrscher who descended this time isn't the 'Herrscher of Ice'?"

Although Eden was asking a question, his tone was very confident.

If it really is the "Herrscher of Ice" descending, then this city will never be able to remain the same and will inevitably become a world of ice and snow.

The fact that Paris was not covered in ice and snow is enough to prove that the Fifth Herrscher is not the "Herrscher of Ice".

"According to Galina's description, the Herrscher who has descended this time is the 'Herrscher of Metal,' whose power is manifested in controlling metal or recasting it into any shape."

"..."

Eden remained silent, his expression growing more serious.

When the Fifth Herrscher is no longer the "Herrscher of Ice," the previous generation's plans can be said to have largely collapsed.

At the very least, the experiences of previous generations will lose their original effectiveness.

Eden walked slowly toward Chubi and then sat down beside him.

"Qiu Bi, how do you plan to resolve this?"

"Let's wait for the allied forces to arrive in Paris first."

Qiu Bi gently patted Galina's back to help her have a good sleep experience.

Feeling completely safe, Galina relaxed, and then a wave of drowsiness washed over her, causing her to drift off to sleep.

Agatha was also fast asleep, breathing evenly.

Eden looked up at the night sky, seemingly lost in thought.

Not long after, Aurora arrived late, only to find Galina and Agatha already asleep, and Chubi and Eden waiting silently for her.

"Ah! Dad, what brings you here?"

“Aurora, when you left Academy City, you didn’t hide your Herrscher reaction at all—how could I be at ease seeing you leave Academy City so anxiously?”

"Hey~"

Aurora didn't know how to explain herself, so she tried to play dumb and get away with it.

Qiu Bi chuckled, then patted the other side of the bed, gesturing for Aurora to sit down there.
