"The central area is over there."
Luo Chen looked at the bridge not far away, zoomed in on the image through his goggles, and observed carefully that there seemed to be several wandering Honkai Emperors on it. Luo Chen immediately decided that this was his ultimate target.
"Let's deal with the surrounding issues first, and then proceed slowly."
Luo Chen drew his sword, looking down indifferently at the hordes of Honkai Beasts below. He took a step forward, and due to gravity, he crashed to the ground.
The Honkai Beast, which was taking a stroll, never expected that a human would launch a sneak attack from upstairs. By the time it realized what was happening, Luo Chen's blade had already pierced its head, and its body had been crushed by the impact.
The commotion attracted the surrounding Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors, who charged towards Luo Chen one after another. Several Temple-level Honkai Beasts even knocked away the Death Warriors in front of them in order to reach Luo Chen's side.
"That's right."
Luo Chen gripped his long sword tightly, remaining completely calm in the face of countless Honkai Beasts, even hoping for more.
As the nearest assassin raised its scythe to strike, Luo Chen swung his blade and beheaded it, then charged into the horde of Honkai beasts, lightning crackling beneath his feet.
Any Honkai Beast that approached Luo Chen was either killed instantly or slowly burned away by his corrosive flames. Before long, the entire battlefield was filled with fire and explosions, interspersed with various strange laughs.
"Lord Kiyono, a marked group of Honkai beasts has been wiped out."
"Really? Let me see who's making such a fast pace."
Kiyono Hatsuyuki brought up the footage of the target location, and then Luo Chen's laughter echoed throughout the command room. Everyone was stunned into silence by this scene.
"What is this guy doing?!"
Kiyono Hatsuyuki clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and looked at Luo Chen, who was standing in the flames and striking a chuunibyou pose on the screen, as if she wanted to tear him apart.
"Little Chenzi, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing Qingye Chuxue's kind voice, Luo Chen stopped what he was doing, remembering that he was on a mission.
"Nothing, just having a blast."
Kiyono Hatsuyuki was helpless. Given Luo Chen's strength, the only thing that could threaten him in this mission was probably those few Honkai Emperors on the bridge.
"Even though you're strong, you'd better watch out!"
After giving instructions to Luo Chen, Qingye Chuxue disconnected from the communication and observed the rest of the group. Seeing that there were three red dots on the map that were very close to the center area, she switched the view to their perspective.
Luo Chen dealt with the Honkai Beasts along the way as he walked towards the Honkai Emperor, and soon arrived at the bridgehead.
A faint smell of blood filled the air, and countless cars lay abandoned on the bridge, among which severed limbs and remains could be seen.
Luo Chen walked silently through this hellish place, his heavy boots treading on the congealed blood. He could even feel the viscosity of the blood through his boots.
Several charging Honkai Beasts rushed towards Luo Chen, only to be cleaved to death by his blade. Although he had experienced many missions, and even witnessed countless deaths before his eyes during the Third Honkai Impact, Luo Chen was still not accustomed to this scene and could not suppress his anger towards the Honkai.
"Luo Chen, hurry and help!"
Kiyono Hatsuyuki said urgently, "Three Valkyries are fighting against the Honkai Emperor, and they're about to collapse."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen activated the armor's levitation system and sped towards the location of the Honkai Emperor.
As the bodies of the Honkai Emperors gradually became clearer, Luo Chen immediately saw two Valkyries standing between the two Honkai Emperors, and another Valkyrie standing at a distance firing a gun, though it was of little use.
One of the Honkai Emperors, its wings spinning, attacked the Valkyrie in front of it. The Valkyrie raised her remaining hand, attempting to use the sword she held to defend herself.
With a single strike, the longsword shattered, and the Valkyrie was sent flying backward, her armor torn by the rapidly spinning wings. She lay on the ground, her fate unknown.
Another Valkyrie looked at her worriedly, waving her scythe to block the beam of light released by the Honkai Emperor. Large beads of sweat rolled down her face, and her hands were numb from the shock.
"Really are."
Luo Chen cursed softly, and his longsword, crackling with lightning, swept forward. The blade's light flew towards the Collapsed Emperor like a crescent moon, paralyzing it.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, the Valkyrie wielding the scythe reacted swiftly, picking up her fallen companion and quickly retreating out of the Honkai Emperor's attack range.
Luo Chen landed in front of the Honkai Emperor and took out Jizo Mitsu Soul to fight the enemy with twin swords.
Before the Honkai Emperor could make any further moves, Luo Chen strode forward and shattered its wings, kicked it, and then paralyzed its other end with lightning.
The Honkai Emperor was kicked backward by Luo Chen's powerful force, and three of its wings were stuck into the ground. Luo Chen looked down and saw a rotating light blade appear beneath his feet.
By evading the attack and teleporting to the front of the Honkai Emperor, Luo Chen quickly slashed the Earthly Treasury Soul at the Honkai Emperor's chest, forcibly severing its life force with the Corruption Honkai Energy.
With its massive body collapsing, Luo Chen turned to deal with the other one. This Chaos Emperor, having just recovered from Luo Chen's paralysis, gleamed in its eyes and charged at Luo Chen.
"It's a good time to try out new abilities."
Luo Chen retrieved the Earthly Treasury Soul, and a wisp of black mist appeared in his right hand. With a forceful flick, the black mist lashed out like a whip, striking the Collapsed Emperor. The area struck was instantly corroded, and black energy emanated from the wound.
Seeing that his attack was effective, Luo Chen simply put away his longsword, wrapped his hands in black mist, and unleashed a series of short-range punches at the Collapsed Emperor.
The Honkai Emperor's body was eventually swallowed up by the black mist, leaving only the Honkai Core in place.
Having resolved everything, Luo Chen approached the three with a stern face and asked in a serious tone, "Which of you three suggested coming here?"
Chapter 74 This is not a game
The two who were awake were intimidated by Luo Chen's imposing aura and stood rooted to the spot, not daring to speak.
Luo Chen looked at the woman whose arm had already been bandaged, and seeing her severed arm, he instantly became furious. He said in an even more serious voice, "I'll say it again, who is it?"
The Valkyrie with the scythe finally stepped forward and looked at Luo Chen with a forced smile.
"Do you know that it's because of you that she lost an arm!"
Luo Chen pointed at the Valkyrie on the ground and shouted, his eyes filled with anger.
"Don't think you're invincible just because you've become an A-rank. If you hadn't arrived in time, you would have died countless times! You think you can handle the Honkai Emperor? Use your brains!"
After being scolded by Luo Chen, the Valkyrie also got angry, puffed out her chest and looked Luo Chen straight in the eye: "You're not even an A-rank..."
"I can kill a pseudo-Herrscher in one-on-one combat, can you? This is a battlefield, not a game. You have to think things through before you do anything. Don't end up having someone else clean up your corpse."
Luo Chen left the Valkyrie speechless with his retort, then he picked her up from the ground and flew into the air: "I'll take her to the camp for treatment, you guys run back yourselves."
After settling the injured Valkyries, Luo Chen left the camp and flew up to find the area on the map with a high concentration of Honkai Beasts. He wiped out all the Honkai Beasts with such speed that the other Valkyries didn't have time to react.
Back at the camp, Luo Chen saw the two Valkyries from the bridge standing in front of the emergency room talking to a doctor.
"how's it going?"
When the doctor saw Luo Chen approaching, he nodded to him and said, "He's out of danger, but his left hand can't be saved. After his recovery, he can only be transferred to logistics work."
Luo Chen remained silent. The doctor's words were correct, but it was unacceptable for anyone to be transferred to logistics for their very first mission as a newly promoted A-rank Valkyrie.
"Is there no other way?"
The Valkyrie looked at Luo Chen with a hint of regret in her eyes. If she hadn't insisted on destroying the Honkai Emperor, her teammate wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Being able to save their lives is already the best outcome."
The doctor shook his head regretfully, explained the remaining matters, and left. The Valkyrie slumped to the ground, her eyes dim, regretting her decision.
"You stay here with her. Headquarters has already sent people over."
Luo Chen gave instructions to another Valkyrie, then turned and left, borrowing a helicopter from the camp to return to headquarters first.
More than half an hour later, the helicopter landed at the headquarters of Destiny. Luo Chen got off the plane and headed straight home, completely forgetting about the mission.
Opening the door, Luo Chen casually tossed the knife on the ground, took off his coat and threw it on the chair, then lay down on the sofa.
"Brother, you actually came all the way back?"
Luo Meng came down from the second floor and was somewhat surprised to find Luo Chen lying on the sofa.
"Mm," Luo Chen replied, then sat up to make room for Luo Mengteng.
Luo Meng sat down next to Luo Chen and inquired about the mission's progress. After hearing about the three Valkyries, she frowned and criticized, "How could the Honkai Emperor possibly be destroyed by three newly promoted A-ranks? They're lucky they didn't lose their lives."
"By the way, Meng'er, what happened during your first mission after you became an A-rank?"
"As for me..." Luo Meng touched her forehead with her right hand, looking thoughtful. "I didn't have much to say at the time. It was Sister Rita who brought me along."
"By the way, bro, you're going back to St. Freya in a few days, right?"
"Yes."
Luo Meng was clearly unhappy after receiving Luo Chen's response, and she pouted and remained silent.
"Okay, stop making that face."
Luo Chen gently stroked Luo Meng's head, coaxing her like a child: "It's not like I can't come back. I can just find any excuse to come over in the future."
As he spoke, Luo Chen suddenly remembered that Saint Freya was going to break with Destiny in the end, and his hand on Luo Meng's head paused.
"Meng'er, I have a question for you."
Luo Chen's expression turned serious, leaving Luo Meng completely bewildered, so she nodded in agreement.
"What would you do if I were to find myself in conflict with destiny for some reason in the future?"
"I do not know."
Luo Meng remained silent for a moment, then shook her head, her light blue eyes filled with confusion as she wondered why Luo Chen had asked that question.
"Oh, I see. Never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Luo Chen ruffled Luo Meng's hair, grinned mischievously at her, picked up the knife from the ground and the clothes from the chair, and quickly fled the scene, heading straight for his room.
"Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Luo Meng sat cross-legged on the sofa, still not understanding why Luo Chen had asked that question. She racked her brains but couldn't come to a conclusion, so she finally gave up, took out her phone, lay down, and started sending messages.
Luo Meng: [Sister Bianca, my brother is going back in a few days.]
