The Vector Manipulation of Accelerator, while a method of altering energy, prevented him from perceiving energy, thus limiting his influence to only certain aspects. In contrast, Lin Luo's 'Mind's Eye' power operated upon all energy. Shiki Ryougi could perceive and sever the "lines of death" of objects, and Lin Luo, upon fully mastering energy, could similarly see through techniques and dismantle foes. The Second Lady could destroy anything before her; Lin Luo, by perfecting the use of his Mind's Eye, could cause objects to simply "cease functioning" without needing to destroy them.

For Lin Luo now, merely redirecting the flow of surrounding energy was effortless, yet reaching the level of the latter two abilities was a long road ahead. Even so, the current version of him could deal with these LV2 Abyss Demons with extreme ease.

"I didn't expect such a perverse ability; no wonder it dodged my Nine-Headed Dragon Flash." After the battle concluded, Katsura Hinagiku finally discerned the core of Lin Luo's strength, a mix of excitement shadowed by a faint disappointment.

If the man she admired was so powerful, she was naturally pleased; even occasional bouts of infatuation were manageable. But this meant her chance to exact "revenge for a single arrow" was significantly harder. In any case, from every angle, her "revolution" was yet to succeed; the maiden still needed to strive harder.

"Your ability isn't lacking either; it’s almost a perfect copy of Usami's. Given enough time, you might even manage to learn my Mind's Eye," Lin Luo said with a smile.

Katsura Hinagiku shot him a look, thinking he was teasing her after she had seen her attacks so easily neutralized.

Little did she know, Lin Luo was sincerely complimenting her. It was fortunate this Mind's Eye power hadn't fallen into the hands of other Walkers; if another Walker possessed such a perfect copying ability, coupled with prolonged contact with an agent of the divine, even learning a fraction of its essence would be terrifying.

"Stop your self-congratulation, you two. The enemies are all wiped out; are we pressing deeper?" Fujibayashi Kyō interrupted their flirting with a hint of annoyance. They had been on equal footing, and Katsura Hinagiku's Mind's Eye made her uneasy, feeling like they were wearing matching couple’s outfits. She wondered if the Book of Sages could grant her a Mind's Eye—though that seemed unlikely.

"No need; the main force should be arriving soon," Lin Luo and Artoria stated in perfect unison. After speaking, they couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"How do you know?" Katsura Hinagiku and Fujibayashi Kyō asked simultaneously, then, as usual, looked at each other, though this time their eyes held a spark of rivalry.

"Based on experience," Lin Luo and Artoria spoke in tandem once more.

"You two had better keep agreeing like that!" Fujibayashi Kyō glared at them sharply, fully expressing her dissatisfaction, envy, jealousy, and resentment.

"Um, you go first," Lin Luo said, feeling slightly awkward, deferring to Artoria based on the principle of ladies first. She showed no hesitation and stated calmly, "Judging by the battles I've experienced and the number of enemies we just faced, this was likely only a vanguard unit; the main force must be behind."

"The same old war strategy, huh," Fujibayashi Kyō murmured speechlessly, turning to Lin Luo. "What's your take?" Lin Luo's expression was impassive as he stated matter-of-factly, "That's how it always goes in games."

"..." Hearing this, Fujibayashi Kyō and the others were momentarily speechless. But before they could respond, Tachibana Kanade’s eyes lit up. "Oh, right! Every time you clear a dungeon, after killing the mobs, the big BOSS always shows up... That's common sense."

"...You really need to spend less time indoors; be careful not to let your hobbies consume your ambition," Katsura Hinagiku earnestly advised.

Roar!

But her words had barely left her mouth when, as if to contradict them, a heavy sound suddenly echoed from beneath the earth, accompanied by violent tremors. Then, the ground beneath their feet swelled abruptly, looking as if it were about to explode at any second.

"Look out, fall back!" Lin Luo sensed an immense surge of energy about to erupt from below and instantly issued a warning.

There was no need for his reminder; the moment the ground shifted, everyone realized the danger. Even before their minds processed it, their bodies reacted instinctively, scattering like lightning in all directions.

Boom!

Just as they retreated to safer ground, a colossal figure burst forth from the earth, sending countless fragments of rock flying out like shrapnel from a shotgun. Except for Lin Luo, who altered the trajectory of the energy, the others were struck. Although they managed to defend in the fastest possible time, the places where the debris hit still ached.

When the barrage of stones ended, the ground erupted again with a loud boom, shaking the entire landscape. Their vision instinctively focused forward, and upon seeing the culprit not far ahead, even Tachibana Kanade's typically emotionless face showed a flicker of change.

Before them stood a white giant, over thirty meters tall, slightly hunched over. A mere wave of its two armstheirs reaching past its knees—kicked up a cyclonic roar, while its two thick legs stood like pillars supporting the heavens, exuding a terrifying pressure just by being observed.

Judging by game theory, this BOSS's HP must be at least over a million. Its attack and defense would surely exceed ten thousand. Even a hundred-person raid group would be wiped out facing this thing.

"What the hell! Where did a giant race come from? Is this supposed to be fantasy?!" Fujibayashi Kyō roared like a wild animal after a two-second pause.

"That’s not a giant race; it’s an Abyss Demon. Be careful; this one is Lv3," Lin Luo remained relatively calm, issuing the warning.

"Abyss Demon? Didn't you say they were generally no more than 2.5 times the size of a normal human? This thing is more than twenty-five times!" Katsura Hinagiku exclaimed in shock.

"Ngh," Lin Luo felt his pride slightly dented and replied sheepishly, "There are always exceptions. You have to understand that some unscrupulous creators use unexpected twists just to build suspense."

"But it’s just too massive. How are we supposed to fight it?"

From the moment it appeared, this Abyss Demon unleashed an unrivaled might, radiating an aura of dominance like the protagonist of a cultivation novel. Even good girls like Katsura Hinagiku and Fujibayashi Kyō were momentarily stunned, only the equally imposing Artoria and the single-minded Tachibana Kanade managing to maintain their composure. But even if they were calm, they dared not strike first; rushing in before understanding its capabilities would only lead to self-destruction. Not to mention, one strike from that massive arm could probably reduce them to dust. It was truly a white demon.

Lin Luo harbored the same thought. While smaller figures held an advantage in one-on-one duels, that held true only when strength levels were comparable—a situation that was clearly not the case here. Engaging such a behemoth head-on would be foolish; they needed to find a weakness!

Lin Luo pushed his Mind's Eye to its limit, cautiously monitoring the flow of ambient energy.

"Roar!" However, this BOSS was clearly not an AFK player; it wouldn't obediently wait for Lin Luo and the others to find its weakness. After a mighty roar, the giant palm descended like the Five Finger Mountain, carrying an overwhelming, savage might.

Before the palm even struck, the razor-sharp gale swept the group backward, sending them flying.

High Spirit Grade!

In that single move, its strength was completely laid bare before Lin Luo. It was far stronger than the Hannibal he had faced previously, though still not comparable to the Dark Six Throne Powers.

"Damn it, I don't care if you're unconventional or defying tropes—I'm turning you into barbecue sauce!" Lin Luo shared the sentiment with Katsura Hinagiku about wearing "couple's outfits," and he shared common interests with Tachibana Kanade, but Fujibayashi Kyō had nothing in common with either. Already frustrated, being swept into the air by the gale caused her pent-up feelings to erupt like a volcano. With a fierce cry, before she even landed, she tore dozens of pages from the Book of Sages and flung them into the air.

"Come forth, Emperor of Dictionaries!" The girl gestured, and the pages began spinning mid-air, transforming into countless black dictionaries. As these dictionaries converged, they ultimately formed a colossal dictionary body, rivaling the size of the White Demon.

With a boom, the Emperor of Dictionaries slammed onto the ground with a deafening sound and threw a punch.

Bang!

This sudden attack caught the White Demon off guard, forcing it to stumble back several paces, causing the earth itself to tremble. But since it was dubbed the White Demon and was a High Spirit Grade entity, it clearly wasn't that fragile. It quickly stabilized and swung its palm again.

Bang!

This strike landed squarely on the shoulder of the Emperor of Dictionaries, unleashing a massive wave of force that instantly shattered it. However, since it was composed of dictionaries, as soon as it scattered, a sharp cry from Fujibayashi Kyō caused it to instantly reassemble and launch another assault.

In an instant, the two colossal figures, one black and one white, were locked in combat.

This sight left Artoria and the others dumbfounded; even Lin Luo was speechless. He knew Fujibayashi Kyō had held considerable reserves during the previous fight, but he hadn't expected such a trump card. And now, it truly had become the Dictionary Emperor!

The Dictionary Emperor and the White Demon exchanged blows. Although both figures were the same size, the White Demon held a clear advantage in raw power and maintained the upper hand, shattering the Dictionary Emperor several times within just a few exchanges.

But supported by Fujibayashi Kyō’s energy, it could quickly reform, preventing outright defeat for the time being.

This stalemate left Lin Luo and the others helpless to intervene. This wasn't a game with party systems that prevented friendly fire. If they jumped into this fight, they wouldn't just have to worry about the White Demon; they’d also have to fear the Dictionary Emperor collapsing on them, which would be extremely dangerous.

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Hit him hard for me!"

Only Fujibayashi Kyō was fiercely energized, cheering on the Emperor of Dictionaries while making aggressive punching gestures.

Seeing this, Lin Luo could only sigh. Women blinded by love were truly terrifying. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to recommend it on Qidian (bǎmnbīm).)
