Honkai Impact

The smell of blood was slightly weaker in the open area, which gave Yae-ji's battered nasal passages a little relief.

Then he smelled that familiar scent again.

"Honkai energy?"

Yae glanced in another direction, greeted Captain Aresa, and went to the corner of the house alone.

One corner of the wooden box was embedded in the soil, and a little further ahead, a pinkish-purple crystal lay quietly on the ground.

The surging, destructive energy at the center covered the ground in a purple hue, and the surrounding grass, illuminated by the faint purple light, seemed to have been drained of its life force.

Yae Ji stepped forward, and the katana at her waist vanished automatically, reappearing in the blink of an eye as a cherry blossom blizzard. If an outsider had seen this, they would have surely assumed the katana had transformed into a cherry blossom blizzard.

"Waaaaah~"

Sakura Fubuki seemed to be complaining about Yae Ji, gripping the trembling spirit sword in her hand. Yae Ji was a little embarrassed, "Alright, alright, stop being so temperamental. I'll let you come out to keep watch whenever I have time."

"Waaaaah~"

Although it's unclear what Cherry Blossom Blizzard meant by "whispering," it clearly accepted the suggestion and quieted down again.

"Whoo~"

Yae Ji exhaled a breath of turbid air, drew his Sakura Fubuki sword, and at first glance, the cherry blossom-colored blade looked somewhat similar to the Honkai Crystal that was emitting a purple aura in front of him.

The tip of the cherry-white blade lightly touched the broken crystal.

"Waaaaah~"

There was no burst of light, nor any "ding-ding-ding" sound; only the soft whispers of Sakura Fubuki echoed in Yaeji's ears.

"Uh, why aren't you eating? This is so big, it looks about the same size as the piece Daisuke threw away."

"Waaaaah~"

Cherry Blossom Snowflakes trembled slightly, and the word "lv1" appeared below the blade.

Yae Ji lifted up Sakura Fubuki, scratched his head, and clearly remembered the description he had seen on the panel.

He needs to find Ether Crystals or Ether Fragments to feed Sakura Blizzard. Only after it reaches "max level" can it absorb Honkai Crystals again and achieve a second evolution.

"This is tricky~" Yae Ji sighed, a thought suddenly occurring to her.

The tip of the cherry-white blade touched the Honkai crystal again, and this time, the crystal disappeared completely!

Yaeji focused his mind, and a backpack panel automatically appeared before his eyes.

In the materials panel, a purple-background Honkai Crystal lies quietly within.

Name: Honkai Crystal

Description: A specific material that helps evolve rare weapons, also obtained by dismantling top-tier weapons.

(An aggregate of Honkai energy, extremely rare.)

"Disassemble a top-grade weapon?" Yae Ji subconsciously looked at Sakura Fubuki.

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~" This time, Sakura Fubuki trembled even more violently, and Yae Ji's wrist also trembled slightly.

"Stop shaking! Stop shaking! How could I possibly break you apart? You're my partner!"

Hearing Yaeji say this, Sakura Fubuki calmed down.

Actually, Yae Kiyoshi didn't say one more thing: "He has absolutely no idea how to disassemble a weapon."

He sheathed the Sakura Fubuki sword, pressed his palm against the hilt, and with a "whoosh," the Sakura Fubuki sword at his waist transformed back into an ordinary katana.

Yaeji glanced at the box, then at the withered pile of weeds.

After thinking for a moment, he casually tossed the 'three-part crystal' from his backpack back into the original spot of the Honkai Crystal.

Then he shouted in the direction he had been facing before:

"team leader!"

Aresa, who was frowning and considering how to deal with the corpses in the village, heard Yaeji's shouts from not far away and hurriedly ran over.

Yaeji pointed to the three crystals in the grass, "Look there."

Aretha's gaze followed, and the pinkish-purple crystals were reflected on her retina.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

They quickly stepped forward, put the crystals into a wooden box, and then sealed it tightly.

Tossing the bag to Yaegi, Aresa said, "Hurry! Meet at the village entrance! Be quick! I'm going to find Lassie and the others!"

"Uh"

Before Yae could figure out what was going on, she only saw Captain Aresa's figure flash past her eyes.

Yaeji touched the box and wiped away the dirt from the corners.

"Did I cause trouble?"

Yaeji ran back to the village entrance with the wooden box in her arms, and Miyu, who had been hiding in the tree canopy, immediately revealed herself.

"Where's the captain? What are you holding?"

Yae Ji stopped and replied, "The captain went to find La Xie'er and the others. We found this box at the end of the village. It had been thrown on the ground, and a crystal had fallen out of it. Then the captain told me to come back first."

"Crystals?"

Seeing Mi You's confusion, Yaeji released his left hand from the hilt of the sword, held the wooden box in his hand, and opened the box with his other hand.

A hint of purple reflected in Mi You's eyes, and Mi You's expressionless face changed slightly. She quickly reached out and pressed down on the wooden box, locking the three parts of the crystal inside.

"Hold it carefully, and whatever you do, don't open it again." Mi You's tone was very serious, just like Captain Aresa's, as if they had encountered some serious trouble.

"This is"

Before Yaeji could finish speaking, Miyou interrupted, "When you encountered the crystals, were they really scattered outside?"

“Absolutely true!” Yaeji nodded and said, “When I found it, a patch of grass had already withered and died.”

"What exactly happened? I've seen similar crystals in Shinano before, so it shouldn't be anything serious, right?" Yae Ji asked.

Miyu's eyes darted back and forth between the village entrance and the other side of the woods. Hearing Yaeji's question, she casually explained, "Once the aura of this thing is leaked out, it can easily attract Honkai Beasts within a certain area."

Yae Ji hummed in agreement, not noticing anything amiss, much like Daisuke and Mizuki Takashi had done the same back then.

Yae Ji still had doubts: "Even if we attract Honkai Beasts within a certain range, our team should be able to handle it, right?"

“Of course,” Mi You replied simply.

"Then why?"

"Why? Have you forgotten about the rebels? This time when you return to the military region, aside from the time spent practicing your moves, I suggest you learn more about the history of Destiny's expansion."

Seeing Yae Ji's bewildered expression, Mi You explained, "To put it simply, Schicksal's rapid expansion has already affected the interests of other countries. That alone wouldn't be so bad, but Schicksal's original purpose was to 'fight the Honkai'! In order to better combat the Honkai, Schicksal began to use its deterrent power to intervene in the political affairs of neighboring countries. Once the manpower was in place, Schicksal branches were established in those countries."

"There are now four branches: the Madan, Dianrui, Weinuo, and Xiban branches."

"The first three branches are located in neighboring countries, where the ruling power of the Mandate is stronger. As for Spain, things are much more complicated there."

"Besides these four countries, other major powers on the European continent that feel threatened by the Mandate of Heaven are also trying their best to stop the Mandate of Heaven from continuing to expand."

"They want the Valkyries to enter and fight the local Honkai, but they don't want to pay any price." Mi You said expressionlessly with a sneer, "There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"Therefore, the rulers of those countries established all sorts of messy churches in Britain. They preached that the Mandate of Heaven brought about the collapse, repeatedly brainwashing the ignorant masses to make them work for them. In this way, they aimed to create trouble for the Mandate of Heaven and prevent it from continuing to expand."

Mi You looked at Yae Ji, her eyes burning with hatred. "The recent small-scale beast tides were all orchestrated by those people! Several countries came together, distributed the various crystals they found to different rebel groups, set targets, and guided the scattered Honkai beasts along the way, finally..."

Yaeji felt a chill run down his spine. Although he had long known about the ugliness of human nature, he never expected that those people would dare to do such a thing just to protect their own interests.

For a moment, Yaeji felt the wooden box in her hands was extremely hot.

He just obtained a whole piece of Honkai Crystal, which means that this place is actually the next important location for the rebels to guide the Honkai Beast tide.

"The captain's here! Quick!"

Miyou patted Yaeji on the shoulder, then turned and went to the big tree to untie the reins.

at this time

"Hiss! Hiss!"

"Tap tap tap~ tap tap~"

The five warhorses became agitated to varying degrees, their hooves pounding the ground erratically. Had they not been trained by the army, these horses would probably have run away long ago.

Mi You gripped the reins tightly, her ears twitching.

Yumi, who had rushed out of the village, lay prone on the ground.

Fine dust particles danced in the air, and even the smaller pebbles seemed to want to twirl around.

“Captain,” Yumi said, looking at Aresa, “there’s a river behind the village.”

Aresa's expression shifted as she asked, "Are you sure it's just a small swarm of beasts?"

“Yes, the beast tide shouldn’t be that big.” Youmi stared at Aresa and said, “We have a chance of breaking through them.”

"How tall?"

Yumi first glanced at Yae Ji, then looked at La Xie'er, whose face was full of solemnity, and analyzed: "If there are fewer fully evolved Honkai Beasts, we have an 80% chance. This wave of beasts was probably pulled from the direction of the Mena Military District. In terms of combat strength, it is not as good as the front line."

"The fragments left behind by the rebels might be devoured by a few Honkai Beasts, thus gaining greater combat power. If that's the case, our chances of success will be even greater."

"But what if it gets eaten by a Honkai Beast?" Yae Ji asked.

"Then you'll have to help the captain hold off a small area of ​​Honkai Beasts so the captain can focus on dealing with it!" Yumi teased, "Are you confident?"

Yaeji narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, there is, but why don't we take the waterway? Why not avoid directly confronting the beast tide?"

Yumi shook her head and said, "The captain already knew that, didn't he?"

Yaeji looked at the captain again.

Aresa said, "It's almost certain that the town of Feru has close ties with the rebels, and we can't get any supplies there."

"Besides, without warhorses, we'll be hunted down by the beast horde. I know everyone has good burst damage, but when it comes to endurance, who among you can compare to the Honkai Beasts?"
