Chapter Fifty-Six: Valkyrie and Beast, The Unbelievable

"Lieutenant... what's going on?"

Upon finally arriving at the location, and facing the calamity that seemed to have been preordained, Beatrice stared in disbelief, as if witnessing a nightmare.

Although Beatrice was somewhat prepared, the plowed-out ground in front of her made her wonder if she had arrived at a battlefield.

The once pleasant square is now riddled with potholes, with large craters resembling those of bomb craters everywhere. It's hard to imagine that this wasn't caused by an explosion, but rather by human intervention.

They were tracking down a criminal, which in a sense suited them perfectly, but the severity of the crime far exceeded their expectations.

How could a fight between people possibly blow a car away like sawdust and cause it to explode, or leave the ground with traces of a missile bombardment?

Ultimately, why are there two ominous stars here, and why are they fighting?

"lets change a topic..."

However, Elunere remained expressionless, ignoring her question, while a slight heat began to rise and fall in her palm.

“Look closely, Kirsch Eisen, can you tell who that is?”

"Hey, who is it..." Beatrice's eyes widened. There were quite a few other people present besides them. Who was she talking about?

The officer gestured with his chin, pointing to a man in a jet-black first-class military uniform, and another person...

From a distance, one could tell that he was a rather handsome man, but the impression one got was completely different, yet strangely similar.

Although it's hard to describe, it felt like seeing a character from a picture book... A strange chill ran down my spine.

So what is...

"Lieutenant General Reinhard Tristan Jürgen Heydrich, Commander-in-Chief of the Gestapo."

Just then, Lisa Brenner came up from behind and stood between Beatrice and Eluneore to explain.

"W-Really?!" Beatrice was speechless, never expecting that it was the legendary Gestapo commander.

As someone who had seen and secretly loved Reinhardt, Elunere naturally recognized his appearance and nodded expressionlessly, saying:

"Yes, and next to him is probably..."

After becoming an extraordinary being, my senses became much sharper.

What is that being beside Reinhardt, that slender man who's like a shadow...?

If we can clearly recognize him visually, why can't we observe his face?

"...Who is that?"

Beatrice felt the same way, and thought it was an important person she didn't know.

“No, that doesn’t matter.” Elunere shook her head. The focus and attention should not be on that strange person at this moment. She straightened her face and said seriously, “In short, although we don’t know the situation, since the Lieutenant General is also here, there is only one thing we should do.”

Yes, that's right, there's only one thing.

We must protect you from these madmen.

"As far as I can see, there are only the two of us soldiers present. In that case, our overstepping of authority by interfering in the Gestapo's duties can be considered justified."

Elunere said this calmly, and drew the longsword from her waist.

Yes, just as Eluneore said, Beatrice nodded in respect for her superior who did not simply accept the situation but instead solemnly announced his actions.

"That's true. Judging from the strength of those two guys, if it were us before, we would have been killed if we had intervened. Although we don't know who they are, it's too dangerous."

I also understand Lisa Brenner's good intentions. If they had intervened in this struggle as ordinary people, they would have been easily eliminated and torn apart.

"Hmph, though arrogant, he's also quite clever... Well then, let me tell you, the best way to deal with that kind of guy is to use a sword in conjunction with our own strength."

Elunere watched the scene with a light laugh, and was also glad that she had accepted Gray's power. With her personality, she would have rushed forward even if she was no match for him, but she knew the final result from the scene.

This is definitely not a battlefield that ordinary people can get involved in!

It was very rare, extremely rare indeed, for Beatrice to see her superior smile without any hint of coldness.

As if praising a subordinate's resolve, Beatrice felt trusted and drew her longsword from her waist—

“Slashing, thrusting, planting pain and terror into their hearts.”

"I am fighting alongside my subordinate, Beatrice," Elunere said coldly, flames suddenly erupting from her hand and coiling around her longsword. This extraordinary and scorching power gave her boundless confidence.

"The gun, Kirschner, is something that's not so scary even if it's pointed at us right now."

"Yes!"

Fine, wisps of azure-blue lightning crackled from her hands and coiled around her longsword. Beatrice felt a sense of security and confidence from this extraordinary power.

"Kill the enemy on sight"—this declaration will lead to his transformation into a demon.

The awe-inspiring and valiant fighting spirit of this knight made Beatrice forget all her negative emotions and rise up in determination.

"By the way, is this your first real-world experience?"

Glancing at the somewhat naive-looking Beatrice, Elunere asked softly.

"Yes, but absolutely no problem!"

If she could stand with Eluneore and fight alongside her superior, Beatrice felt there was nothing to fear.

When he took up his military post, he had already made up his mind to dedicate his blood, glory and victory to this sword for the sake of the motherland and the people.

Her answer, without the slightest hint of confusion, brought a pleasant smile to Elunere's lips.

"I hope so. Both my family and yours are legitimate knightly families. Since we were born into samurai families, hesitating between killing and being killed is meaningless—let's go!!!"

"Yes!" Beatrice glanced at Lisa Brenner behind her and instructed, "Ms. Lisa, please hide for now!"

Then, Beatrice shouted and ran, cutting through the raging typhoon hordes with lightning speed.

"Drink——!"

Lightning surged forth, accompanied by the Valkyrie's resounding declaration of war, and then, like a sharp sword, pierced straight into the center of the battlefield, heading directly towards Wilhelm.

"what?"

Just as the battle was in full swing, Wilhelm saw someone who was getting in his way suddenly enter the battlefield. He smacked his lips in annoyance and then launched a swift counterattack against Beatrice, who was charging towards him.

Bang-!

Wilhelm forcefully deflected the opponent's first attack, followed by a fierce and deadly pursuit.

Beatrice used the blade of her sword to withstand the counterattack, the impact of which was so great that it almost pushed the lightweight Beatrice away.

If I hadn't undergone the strengthening process, my arms would probably have been shattered by now.

In a split second, the girl in military uniform thought of what was happening, and then her swimming boots braced tightly against the stone steps beneath her feet, withstanding the monstrous blow.

What a ferocious and powerful force—it's almost not like fighting a human.

"Where the hell did you come from?"

Wilhelm, caught off guard, cursed coldly and angrily. One after another, they jumped out to cause him trouble, which made him extremely irritable.

The scarlet eyes embedded in the pale face radiated a blinding killing intent, burning like will-o'-the-wisps.

To Beatrice's disbelief, her opponent had blocked her sword strike with his bare hands.

The overwhelming stench of blood and wild beasts—this could no longer be called human.

After just a brief exchange, Beatrice understood that this man was the vampire Lord Grey had mentioned, and also an extraordinary murderer.

Although her opponent was very strong and she wasn't 100% confident of defeating him, Beatrice was not lacking in courage.

She firmly believed that chivalry (swordsmanship) should not yield to evil and heretical doctrines.

“Those thugs over there, surrender now.” Pointing her longsword, crackling with fine lightning, at Wilhelm, Beatrice declared with a resolute and icy expression, “I am Beatrice Kirschnersen. If you resist, I’ll cut off one or two of your arms!”

It was a fierce and domineering shout, but the man only widened his eyes in surprise for a moment, then his shoulders began to tremble violently and he grinned, his whole body radiating a dark red spiritual energy pressure, a ferocious smile on his face—

"Pfft... Pfft ha, ahahahahaha!! You're really good at talking, this is quite funny."

Wilhelm was genuinely amused by the little brat in front of him, and said with a mocking expression:

"You're quite the brave young lady, aren't you? With a body like a bean sprout, what do you think you're going to do with me?! Watch me pin you to the ground and stab you through! Then I'll tear you to shreds while I listen to your screams!!"

A wave of malicious killing intent swept in like an avalanche.

This ferocity is dizzying, makes it hard to breathe, and leaves your hands and feet numb. The existence of such a man is crushing your worldview.

Therefore, the conclusion is—this is an unforgivable disaster!

Beatrice made this firm conviction in her heart.

"...Tsk, how despicable...You're hopeless!"

"Oh, that kind of thing, I've never felt it since I was born."

Wilhelm scoffed at this, unconcerned by the words, and then beckoned to the bean sprout in front of him in a provocative manner:

"Hey, come on, Miss Bean Sprout. You stupidly interfered in other people's fights. Let me teach you a lesson and show you what happens when you do this kind of thing."

“No need for you to say more…” Beatrice, holding her sword, replied coldly.

Facing the vampire killer beckoning to her, Beatrice drew her sword again and took a step forward in the face of this transcendent and vile being!

As a soldier, I must uphold certain principles.

"I'm the one who should be teaching you a lesson!"

A burst of lightning erupted from that petite body, carrying a dazzling light unlike Wilhelm's dark and murky lightning. With a roar, Beatrice unleashed a thrust that she had poured all her strength into!

Wilhelm was only surprised for a second by the other party's extraordinary fragility, unlike that of ordinary people. He reacted quickly and immediately began to fight back with a ferocious expression.

"boom--!

The ground shattered and exploded, he was bounced back, dodged, and counterattacked again. Although the initial confrontation was only for a moment, it was indeed a fight to the death.

Because he had sworn that even under this fierce power, he would never lose his way.

Then, on the other side—

Schreiber and Anna, who had been interrupted, felt a bit disappointed and bored. They started talking to themselves and complaining as they switched between male and female forms.

"Ugh... What's the point? This is so boring." Anna, with her long hair, complained to Schreiber, "We were having so much fun playing, and now you're going to have indigestion? Schreiber."

After saying that, under the bewildered gaze of Elunere, the long-haired woman in front of him transformed into a short-haired handsome boy.

"Well, since another pretty older sister has come, I'll go on a date with her."
