She could barely feel her body as it keeps burning her from the inside... Another step, dodge the incoming attack as she tries to counter the Herrscher with the blade in her hand...

Another one down... countless copies left... This is endless...

"Pheonix, have you forgotten that you always have your eyes on your enemy?" Looking in front of her as she saw a fist coming straight into her face...

"Cra-!" Whatever Fu Hua was trying to say was immediately interrupted as the fist flew into her face, launching her into the air and landing with a painful thud.

She feels like she could go unconscious any second now, but she won't let herself fall into that state just yet... Not when the threat of humanity is right in front of her...

"Let's turn up the heat shall we?" With a single snap of her finger, all of her clones completely melted as the ground under Fu Hua's feet started to glow red...

Without a second thought, the Valkyrie's instinct was to leap away as the vortex of flame emerge from the ground...

Could the Herrscher always do this?!?

A white and black lance manifested in the Herscher's palm as she did a diagonal slash at the Valkyrie follow by a trail of powerful flame...

Taking a step aside as Fu Hua dodge the incoming flame almost effortlessly, but she wasn't done there as she uses the teal blade in her hand and spun around to completely change the direction of the flame straight into the Herrscher.

The Herrscher did nothing as she stared at the incoming flame at her... A smirk grew on her face as she extended her arm out...

*BOOM!*

Not even an attempt to even try to dodge as the Herrscher took the attack head-on as the dust of cloud kicks in... Fu Hua now knows that the Herrscher of Void could also use fire despite manipulating space and reality is her specialty...

The questions are: Could she use any other elements other than fire? and where do these power come from?

Before more questions come up to Fu Hua, a giant lance flew straight at her head, but she managed to dodge it last second by swerving her head aside as the lance completely annihilated the pillar behind her...

The sound of slow clapping could be heard within the cloud of dust...

"I'll admit, for someone who's well beyond ancient like you, you are quite entertaining I must say." Slowly comes out of the cloud of dust and reveals herself as the Herrscher gave her yet another smirk.

"But I think that..." The orange orb in her eyes begins to glow as four of the clothes behind her started floating acting almost as if they were her arms... But the Valkyrie noticed something odd about them.

One was glowing red, one was glowing green, one was glowing purple while the last... Gave off a sinister dark glow almost as if it was absorbing the light instead...

As if something invisible was weighing her down the moment she saw that sinister dark glow... Something that was so familiar to her, but she could not remember what...

"Playtime is over." In a blink of an eye, the Herrscher immediately teleports behind Fu Hua... "Nothing personal, Pheonix."

Immediately turning behind to block the incoming attack, she failed miserably as she was launched into a random pillar, almost breaking the sound barrier...

'I think she just broke my bones...' Fu Hua thought to herself as she fell straight onto the ground...

"Despite being the Pheonix who dared stand against my queen, you could only handle this much?" The Herrscher said with a smirk as she slowly came closer to the Valkyrie.
