Honkai Impact

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Honkai Beast's two enormous forelimbs could blast a crater in the ground with each strike, yet no matter how it attacked, it could not hit Yae Ji.

Yae Ji suppressed the urge to explode and unleashed one Cherry Blossom Slash after another, waiting for the effect of [Heart of Prajna].

Suddenly, Yaeji's sword speed increased dramatically! After completing another set of Falling Cherry Blossom Slash, she dodged! Three bursts of sword energy erupted! The blade returned to its sheath!

After this blade return ended, Yae Ji stopped.

Aresa raised an eyebrow from a distance. "What's he doing?"

Yumi: "His family's sword techniques are quite good, and he has considered all aspects. They are much better than those of us who started from scratch. Maybe he's about to unleash other sword techniques."

Aresa: "It's this."

Before Aresa could finish speaking, in front of the Honkai Beast, Yae Ji, with his eyes closed, drew Sakura Fubuki. In his mind, a cherry blossom-colored figure was demonstrating Yae Ji's every move, which was closely followed.

"Scatter the cherry blossoms!"

As the voice of the cherry blossom figure rang in his mind, the whole world seemed to be put on slow motion. Yae Ji could feel an explosive energy urging him forward within his body!

Suddenly, the Cherry Blossom Blizzard, which had been sheathed without anyone noticing, was drawn! Yae Ji's figure instantly appeared behind the Honkai Beast!

A flash of sword drawn!

Return to its sheath!

A pale white sword light suddenly shot out from the last three inches of the sword!

Chapter 112 Upgrade and Maintenance (This chapter is free)

"Click!"

The seemingly indestructible white carapace shattered under the pale sword light, revealing several cracks. The enraged Honkai Beast turned around, raised its two thick forelimbs, and slammed them down hard on the little creature on the ground!

With a loud "boom," two deep craters were smashed into the ground, and the area around the craters was covered with spider web-like cracks.

However, Yae Ji's figure once again appeared behind the Honkai Beast.

Holding the Cherry Blossom Blizzard, Yae Ji still kept her eyes closed. A flash of cherry blossom-colored sword light left a shallow mark on the Honkai Beast's thick forelimb.

Yae Ji kept following the movements of the cherry blossom-colored figure in her mind.

Three flashes in a row!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!—"

Before the clumsy Honkai Beast could turn around again, the berserk Blade Return erupted once more! It widened the narrow slit behind the Honkai Beast several times over!

Flash! Flash! Flash!

The crisscrossing cherry blossom-colored sword light seemed to be merely attracting attention; only the three flashes followed by the blade's return could unleash the ultimate violence on the Honkai Beast's body.

Boom!—

The earth was once again subjected to a powerful shock. In the far distance, warhorses raised their forelegs, their hooves pounding the ground restlessly, as if startled by the tremors from the Honkai Beast attack.

The battlefield was covered in dust. Aresa squinted, and she could vaguely hear the mournful cries of the Honkai Beasts.

"Click!"

With another crisp sound, the Honkai Beast's relatively vulnerable back was covered with dense cracks. After sensing the Honkai aura gradually weakening to freezing point, Yae Ji opened her eyes.

He looked up and glanced at the giant Honkai Beast that had crashed to the ground.

The gust of wind swept away the strands of hair on her forehead, revealing a pair of eerie eyes that rivaled those of a Honkai crystal.

Taking a deep breath, the urgency to release energy disappeared, and instead, the excessive strain on the body's functions gradually gave way to a feeling of weakness emanating from within.

Yae Ji turned and left, the Cherry Blossom Blizzard hanging at her waist silently transforming into the shape of a Stone Essence Ore Katana.

In the distance, Youmi also squinted, gazing at the dust-filled battlefield.

"He's here."

“Hmm.” Aresa nodded and looked at Youmi: “I think it won’t take two years, at most one year, for him to become the core of an elite squad.”

“Hmm.” This time, the Shadow Blade squad’s adjutant and analyst did not object.

His gaze drifted into the distance.

As the dust kicked up when the Honkai Beast died gradually settled, a dark figure with one hand gripping the hilt of a sword slowly emerged from it.

He wasn't as handsome as I'd imagined. His clothes were covered in dust, and his once beautiful pink hair had long been stained with unknown beast blood during the beast tide. Combined with the dust, he looked rather comical.

Eastern Military Region.

Without thinking twice, Aresa launched into a tirade against the intelligence officers.

They wouldn't stop until the next intelligence resources were tilted towards the Shadow Blade team.

In a good mood, Aresa pulled out the badges of the Shadow Blade Squad members from her pocket, lined them up, and shouted, "Intelligence Officer! Help me tally up this military achievement!"

The intelligence officer in front of me, wearing the distinctive felt hat of the intelligence department, was exasperated and said, "Excuse me, please go to the logistics department for military merit statistics."

"No way! Your statistics are faster here!"

Intelligence officer: ""

The woman took the badge into a device, and data statistics began to be displayed on the screen.

Shadow Blade Squad:

A+ level task (completed)

Note: Originally a B-level mission

Name: Aresa

Grade: A-

Military merit for this mission: Grade B, 1568 points

Name: La Xie'er

Grade: b

Military merit for this mission: Grade B, 151 points

Name: Yaeji

Level: None

Military merit for this mission: Grade B, 1158 points

After quickly compiling the statistics, the intelligence officers finally smiled.

He handed the badge back to Aresa and laughed, "Your team's Lassie is from a wealthy family, isn't she? The name 'battlefield meat grinder' isn't for nothing. I really don't know why she doesn't kill a few B+ Honkai Beasts to raise her Valkyrie rank."

Aresa: "Hehe."

"This Yae Ji, is he new to your Shadow Blade? He's got a lot of potential. He killed a B+ rank Honkai Beast on his first mission. He only needs to kill one more to advance. He seems to be good at dealing with groups of enemies too, having killed more than the other two veterans."

Aresa: "Hehe."

At noon, Rami was called over, and the team had a big meal together.

The squad's adjutant, Yumi, had handed over all the intelligence that could be reported to the military region for processing, and the entire military region was placed on high alert. The number of Valkyrie squads also surged dramatically.

Yaeji guessed that it was probably the reason for the invasion of that small horde of beasts.

To Yae Ji's surprise, the Shadow Blade Squad did not participate in the military region's mobilization this time, nor did they accept any missions related to the beast tide.

Mi You took him to the logistics department to confirm his right to reside in the house in Locke Town. That afternoon, all the members of the Shadow Blade Squad except for the logistics officer Rami arrived in Locke Town.

After Miyu showed Yaeji around, Laxie suggested that they celebrate the official arrival of the team's newest member, Yaeji, that evening.

Nighttime, after the revelry.

After tidying everything up, Yaeji lay on the bed and opened the book that Yumi had given him before he left.

One book is "The History of Destiny's Expansion", another is "The Valkyrie Manual", and yet another is "The Complete Book of Honkai Beasts".

Yae Ji wasn't very interested in "The History of the Expansion of Destiny." The team members had told him almost everything along the way, mainly about conflicts of interest and the whims of human nature.

Yae Ji picked up "The Valkyrie Handbook" and opened to the first page.

After finishing reading the thin manual, Yae Ji picked up the "Complete Encyclopedia of Honkai Beasts" and started reading it. It recorded all the Honkai Beasts that Schicksal had ever encountered.

After getting a general idea, Yae no Chi finally couldn't bear her exhaustion any longer and lay down on the bed, closing her eyes.

The current Valkyrie ranking system is divided into four major tiers, each with three sub-tiers.

They are: s, a, b,

Each level is further divided into three sub-stages.

They are: s+, s, s-, and so on.

Most battle sequences start at B-, with very few Valkyries of + rank entering them.

The reason, of course, is the strength of the Honkai Beasts.

Honkai Beasts are mainly divided into two types: incompletely infected and completely infected.

Honkai Beasts that are not fully infected with Honkai energy range in strength from - to B+, resembling animals with many weaknesses. Due to the wide variety of types, there is no comprehensive record.

A fully infected Honkai Beast will turn completely white, with certain parts of its body exhibiting Honkai energy reactions, reducing its weaknesses and increasing its strength.

Currently, the categories are: Assault Class, Super Assault Class, Knight Class, Chariot Class, Temple Class, Thor Class, Warlord Class, and Emperor Class.

While rankings do indicate strength to some extent, they only represent different types of Honkai Beasts, each with varying levels of power.

The Advancement Rank is generally equivalent to the strength of a B-rank Valkyrie, but there are also monsters whose strength reaches that of an A-rank.

That's just the type of Honkai Beast, not entirely a ranking of strength.

The Honkai Beast he killed belonged to the 'Chariot' type, but it only had B+ level strength.

According to the rules of the military merit system, as long as he kills two B+ rank Honkai Beasts while carrying the badge, his rank will automatically change to B+.

These items were collected from ancient instruments.

Although there are so many types of Honkai Beasts, Schicksal still hasn't seen what an Emperor-level Honkai Beast looks like.
