Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

"Why don't you go back and rest, and I'll go get the original body?"

"The power of the Herrscher of Reason can slowly repair Bronya's body."

Bronya refused.

I thought to myself, "I knew I couldn't hide it, after all, he's so meticulous."

Like an older sister...

Volume 1: Chapter 208 What I Want to Express (Part 4)

A huge, deep pit.

It resembles a ferocious eye, embedded in the earth.

The Herrscher's power had no effect on Ziyao, but it still felt somewhat oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

A dilapidated city, innocent pedestrians, a land scarred and ravaged...

These images left an indelible mark on Bronya's mind.

This made her wonder how to avoid it, and how to save it.

Clearly, the people of this era have failed.

Even the most hard-hearted person would be moved by this apocalyptic scene.

The image of the soldiers' ashen faces and despair in the military camp had not yet faded from my mind.

"Testing complete. A large amount of collapse energy has been deposited at the bottom of the giant crater."

Stepping onto the soft sand, the stones clinging to it lose their grip and roll past.

The sound lasted for about ten seconds before stopping.

Bronya estimated that it was about 100 meters deep below.

Mei... The prototype that MEI mentioned is below.

The two slowly descended side by side, finally stopping at a steep section.

If you go any further, you'll fall.

"You can stay here. Bronya wants to help you, not just watch from the sidelines."

The girl insisted, and Ziyao smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

"Gurgle—"

A low hissing sound.

Small stones rolled down from behind. Turning around in the direction of the sound, I saw a Honkai Beast as tall as two people.

The dark gold patterns along the edges of the silicon casing indicate that it is not an ordinary product.

Will Knight-class Honkai Beasts be stronger in this era?

Manipulate your powers and reload the bunny into battle mode.

Bronya carefully analyzes intelligence, searching for advantages and breakthroughs—this is her consistent fighting style.

She tossed her long hair aside and gracefully untied the knot.

Sunlight streamed down, perfectly complementing the blue and white Valkyrie armor and creating a dazzling sense of holiness.

Sensing the Herrscher aura emanating from the girl, the Honkai Beast realized it had messed with the wrong person and immediately turned and ran.

"You're taking this too seriously."

With the power of a Herrscher, the Honkai Beast from before was no match for them.

On a distant slope, MEI was watching them through binoculars. The lenses reflected sunlight, creating flashes that momentarily blinded Ziyao, who then noticed.

Is their position a little dangerous?

Too close to the dividing line, and there are Honkai Beasts nearby.

"Let's go down together."

"receive."

If they are separated, Ziyao is likely to be attacked by Honkai Beasts. Acting together will provide mutual support.

"Please sit down, Bronya, please be gentle."

"It's a bit rough."

My buttocks were being pressed against the hard Valkyrie armor, which wasn't very comfortable.

"I thought you'd say it's okay,"

"I'm not a sunny, cheerful type, please forgive me."

Holding Bronya tightly in a princess carry, she leaped down to the bottom of the giant pit.

The violent movement aggravated the wound once again.

"Get the stuff, let's get out of here quickly."

The confined space is unsettling, like standing on an unfamiliar high-rise building, without a sense of security.

Just as I picked up the black stalactite object, a gunshot suddenly rang out from above the pit.

Upon arriving at the top, they found that soldiers were fighting a Honkai Beast.

Its movements are extremely agile, easily predicting the trajectory of bullets, so not a single bullet can hit it.

Taking advantage of the moment when the soldier was reloading, it pounced and immediately bit off one of his hands.

The intense pain rendered the soldier incapable of fighting, and he clutched his severed arm, groaning.

The Honkai Beast showed no mercy; after swallowing the arm, it set its sights on MEI.

Bronya, of course, wouldn't let it succeed, and used a crowbar to knock it away.

"Coo coo coo—!!"

Bloodshot eyes, a low growl.

The pain didn't scare it away; instead, it made it want to eat MEI even more.

The two, one human and one beast, engaged in battle. Due to her injury, Bronya's movements were always a beat slower.

The Honkai Beasts are too fast for the artillery to detect, and they might even accidentally hit MEI.

Left with no other choice, she had to control the heavily armed bunny and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

brush!

A devastating blow that could cut through iron like mud.

Sparks flew, and the building wall was immediately split in two.

If the Honkai Beast had been half a second slower in dodging, it would have ended up like this wall.

"Hoo-ha..."

The girl began to pant, her exhaustion and the pain from her wounds mingling with sweat as it streamed down her cheeks.

Having gained power, she was no longer willing to lose anyone she cared about.

I can't give up here. It was so hard to escape that desolate, snowy plain of Siberia, so incredibly hard...

Even though it's just a normal battle with Honkai Beasts, I inexplicably feel a sense of urgency and melancholy that if I lose, I will lose everything.

During the battle, she figured out the speed of the Honkai Beasts and their maximum dodge angle.

This is the final blow.

Bronya feinted first, and the Honkai Beast was fooled, instinctively lowering its body to dodge.

This was exactly what the girl wanted, so she immediately fired a shot at her feet to close the distance.

Clean and efficient, with a loud bang.

The Honkai Beast was slammed to the ground with a powerful blow, and half of its body was embedded in the ground.

That wasn't all. Bronya suddenly turned around and fired a shot at the building.

Before the smoke had even cleared, the ferocious beast charged toward Ziyao, who was closest to it.

The advantage is that you can pick on the weak, but the disadvantage is that your back is completely exposed to Bronya.

Upon seeing Ziyao being attacked, the girl immediately became anxious.

Before the hand cannon had cooled down, she recharged it and strode forward to block it.

Having lost the ability to sustain himself, the wound on his waist was torn open again, and blood flowed freely.

—After smelling blood, the Honkai Beasts suddenly changed their target.

Despite its massive size, turning around was effortless.

Conversely, it was too late for the girl to brake.

How could this be...?

Bronya's pupils widened, not understanding why the Honkai Beast would turn around.

The deadly claws were just inches away, and memories of the past flashed by like a revolving lantern.

The next second, her face was stained with warm blood.

The expected excruciating pain did not come; the claws stopped frozen in front of him.

Then, the beast's massive body crashed to the ground.

"A close call, cough cough..."

The big duck has disappeared, and in its place is a familiar figure.

Her hair was as black as ink, and her face as white as snow.

It's heartbreaking that blood is now flowing down that exquisitely sculpted face.

"I've told you before, Bronya, sometimes focusing too much on thinking can make you forget the most basic questions."

It's not surprising that Honkai Beasts, which devour humans, have a fondness for blood.
