I'm in Honkai Impact's Infinite Abyss!

Facing Mobius's face so close, Luo Lin couldn't help but tilt her head back, trying to create some distance between them.

Mobius raised an eyebrow and then leaned even further, bringing her face close to Luo Lin's neck. She chuckled lightly and asked, "Oh my, little guinea pig, are you shy?"

"Why are all you people from Elysian Realm like this. Why do you lot have no concept of personal space?"

Luo Lin couldn't help but recall the actions Elysia had done to her before. She leaned her scythe against the ground and shifted her buttocks backward.

"All of us?"

Mobius squinted her eyes and sat back on the floating aircraft. "I see, it's Elysia, isn't it? That person... forget it. Do you still plan to continue this trial?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

Luo Lin had finally managed to start with a five-fold exclusive "Stygian Nymph" opening. Although she struggled a bit against "Transcendence Kallen," overall, the outcome was satisfactory.

Even if she didn't get double rewards on the seventh floor, she still had two "Setsuna" and two "Deliverance" Signets. She even managed to summon a "Setsuna" portal on the eighth floor, allowing her to obtain the "Setsuna" core. Victory was within reach.

The girl with green snake pupils stared at Luo Lin and hinted, "Little guinea pig, the trial you are currently undergoing is not a normal Elysian Realm procedure. I have never seen such... monsters before."

Mobius turned her head and extended green lightning from her fingertips, probing towards the direction where "Transcendence Kallen" had disappeared, weaving into a dense network in an attempt to search for something.

"Let me do it, Mobius. I've brought a specialized signal detection device."

At this moment, Vill-V finally arrived. She jumped out of the portal with a huge instrument floating behind her, almost as big as the front of a truck.

Luo Lin couldn't figure out how this thing had squeezed out of the narrow portal.

Mobius controlled her floating seat and approached the device. Under Vill-V's guidance, she quickly found the console of the device.

After tapping the keyboard a few times, Mobius confirmed the device's function.

Mobius looked puzzled, "Why do you have the leisure to make something that is not needed in Elysian Realm?"

Vill-V gritted her teeth, "You'll have to ask your 'little guinea pig' behind you about that."

In order to found out how Luo Lin entered the Elysian Realm, Vill-V specially made a high-precision detection device.

But judging from her frustrated expression, it was obvious that she hadn't achieved any results.

The 'Expert' took a deep breath and continued, "Moreover, this abnormal trial program might also be caused by her."

"Oh? That's... quite interesting indeed."

Mobius's snake pupils narrowed even further, her fingers brushed across her lips, and she gradually became excited.

Elysian Realm had been calm for far too long, and there had never been a visitor like Luo Lin who could cause so much impact and change.

"I'll observe you more carefully, little guinea pig."

Being locked in by Mobius's sharp gaze was uncomfortable, but Luo Lin was well aware of what kind of person Mobius was. She had come to Elysian Realm seeking help. She was naturally prepared for such scrutiny.

Luo Lin even considered this journey as a rehearsal for her confrontation with Otto in the future, so she could perform with ease.

"Then I'll continue on my way?"

The Valkyrie stood up and walked towards the "Setsuna" portal to the next level.

"Just wait a moment... Alright, you can go now."

Vill-V angrily pulled out a probe from the device and aimed it in the direction Luo Lin had left.

Luo Lin shrugged and walked into the radiant light of the portal.

As soon as she entered, a penetrating roar came from directly ahead. The Valkyrie squinted her eyes and stared at the massive dragon-shaped Honkai Beast in front of her.

It had a pure white carapace unique to Honkai Beasts, with glimpses of flesh interwoven with deep blue and black in the seams. There were obvious fluctuations of Honkai energy on its claws and wing membranes, emitting a sky-blue light.

It was the companion of the Second Herrscher Sirin, a Judgement-class Honkai Beast, Benares!

2:30

Exceeding the time limit will result in failure!

A semi-transparent countdown appeared directly above Luo Lin's field of vision, slowly and steadily ticking away.

In the lounge, the MANTIS'es became more alert as they carefully watched the terrifying Honkai Beast emanating dreadful aura.

Raven was naturally among them. Seeing Benares's figure, even just in the holographic projection, the imposing aura still affected her, causing the mercenary to almost spit out the wine she had in her mouth.

"Natasha, do you recognize this Honkai Beast?"

"Cough, I...," Raven crossed her arms and answered in a deep voice, "This is Benares, the companion Honkai Beast of the current-era Second Herrscher Sirin..."

"It seems that this is the change brought by Miss Luo Lin... However, the companion Honkai Beast of a Herrscher... even if Elysian Realm's data cannot fully simulate a Judgement-class, it shouldn't be..."

Eden carefully chose her words, and finally said helplessly, "It shouldn't be this weak."

"Roar!"

Benares stared at Luo Lin with its eyes, and the Valkyrie, undaunted, raised her scythe and charged forward.

The Judgement-class Honkai Beast raised its claws and lunged at Luo Lin!

But "Stygian Nymph" flickered, turning into quantum butterflies, flying past this terrifying attack. Then Luo Lin delivered a powerful blow to Benares.

Following that, Luo Lin didn't hesitate to unleash her ultimate move, the black tentacles and red claws lashing at the Judgement-class Honkai Beast's neck.

These attacks caused significant damage to Benares. It roared, stirring up a gust of wind and taking flight.

Luo Lin of course, was prepared for this move.

She had encountered Benares on the Arena before, so even though it had entered the Elysian Realm, its moves should be almost the same...

Wait a minute, almost the same?

As mentioned earlier, as Luo Lin delved deeper into the Abyss and her Arena level increased, the intelligence of monsters, especially bosses, had noticeably improved.

And an increase in intelligence meant that bosses would exploit their strengths, "playing to their strengths and attacking the weaknesses of others"!

So, what would be Benares's strength?

"No way..."

The Valkyrie raised her head, watching as Benares soared freely in the sky, no intention of landing again to engage in close combat.

Luo Lin's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"I don't have 'Miss Pink Elf' now, with no long-range attack power at all?"

The Valkyrie leaped with all her might, trying to reach Benares. She even unleashed a wave of energy shockwaves like the "Crescent Moon Sky Charge," but it only caused Benares to flap its wings twice to dodge, without inflicting any damage.

Luo Lin looked at the countdown ticking away, finally slowing down at "0:00."

"I failed... sob... now I've let the big guy down..."
