The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Is it that she was too strong, or that she became full of flaws because she had something on her mind?

"Phew, team members, unleash your power! Let's defeat it together!"

"it is good!"

Kiana charged forward with her sword, while Bronya positioned herself behind her with her gun raised, providing cover.

Although their delicate figures appeared somewhat frail in the face of the monster, their figures fighting side by side, and the fearless spirit unique to veteran Valkyries, were truly remarkable.

However, this made their figures appear much taller in Lyle and Timido's eyes, revealing an aura as imposing as a mountain peak.

Why are we all different now? (Honkai Impact 3rd): Taking a day off, will resume updates tomorrow.

Well, even though a day has passed, let me still wish you a Happy New Year.

I'm a bit busy today, I'm going to bed now.

(zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

Why are we all different now? (Honkai Impact 3rd): Chapter Thirty-Six - It's time to reveal the truth.

This marks the first time in many years that the most senior Valkyries of St. Freya Academy have had the opportunity to fight side by side.

Unlike before, this time they will face strange creatures from another land. Do they have intelligence? What profound purpose do they have? What kind of backup plan do they have? Or is someone guiding them from behind the scenes?

Even now, the two women still don't know why these monsters appeared here.

However, they were well aware that this battle was inevitable.

"Watch me show you my skills!"

Without much hesitation, Kiana charged forward with her sword, wielding the King's Sword to strike the enemy known as Code IV - the Emperor.

It must be said that after the renovation, the monster's level has increased significantly.

Its body seemed to have become larger and more robust than before, and the sword it wielded had become stronger and sharper.

Although this monster has not yet evolved into other more troublesome forms, its strength has definitely increased to a certain extent.

Kiana's initial attack surprisingly failed to inflict fatal damage. On the contrary, the monster known as Code IV - Emperor seized the opportunity and unleashed a fierce sword strike.

A swift slash suddenly came, and Kiana, anticipating the great damage of the attack, raised her sword to meet it.

A muffled thud!

Wang Jian clashed violently with the heavy blade, producing an extremely loud clang.

Kiana was forced back a step by the force of the impact, but her opponent was clearly not outmatched either, as the greatsword that was originally intact was mostly melted away at this moment.

Despite the monster's terrifying attacks, just as it finished its head-on clash with Kiana, a series of extremely powerful laser beams suddenly attacked from its left.

These rapid, destructive laser beams seemed intent on utterly annihilating him.

Upon seeing this, the enemy named CodeⅣ-Emperor hurriedly dodged, but was still grazed on his right arm.

In the instant of the laser explosion, the monster's arm was smashed to pieces, leaving it completely powerless to lift it again.

If he were a so-called "human," perhaps he would shout and scream in such a disadvantageous situation, or perhaps he would prepare to run away if things went wrong.

However, this obviously large monster clearly lacked this consciousness.

Despite being protected by armor-like suits of armor and possessing mobility similar to flight, this guy showed no sign of flinching when faced with the combined attack of Bronya and Kiana.

Even with only half an arm capable of moving, he still displayed an extremely strong fighting spirit.

This situation inexplicably annoyed Bronya, who was rushing to provide remote support.

"Why is it so difficult to deal with? It has inexplicably attacked the parts of its body that can move, but it hasn't yet become paralyzed."

The wounded monster was not damaged; instead, it was able to continue fighting despite its broken body.

Such behavior is truly annoying, like punching a rock and the rock only trembles slightly before failing to react at all.

Just as Bronya was feeling helpless about the monster's behavior.

"Bronya, watch out!"

The sudden call brought her back to her senses, making her realize that an enemy attack was imminent.

Seeing the monster's fierce shockwave, Bronya quickly raised her hand and used the flight ability given to her by 0019 to dodge the attack.

The other team members also used this method to avoid the shockwaves from the monster's attack.

However, in that very instant when everyone was trying to dodge,

Kiana suddenly leaped into the air, then snapped her fingers.

"The moment of decisive battle has arrived!"

In an instant, pale blue flames spread out from her center, clashing and competing with the powerful shockwave.

And ultimately, with an overwhelming advantage, it directly overwhelmed the impact caused by the monster.

A swift burst of flame swept in, nearly knocking the monster to the ground.

At that very moment, Kiana rushed forward and slashed through the monster's body and the floating metal plate behind it with a few sword strikes.

Amidst the flickering flames, she seized the opportunity and raised her hand.

In an instant, a scorching black hole was created, tearing the world apart.

The disruption of spacetime slowed down the flow of time throughout the entire scene, and everything began to become clear and understandable.

At that very moment, Kiana gathered her power and unleashed it.

'boom!'

Guided by her, the black hole, radiating scorching heat, finally burst open.

The scorching heatwave instantly burned away most of the body of the enemy known as Code Ⅳ - Emperor.

Under such fierce attacks, even he, who was devoid of wisdom and emotion, could not hold on and eventually slowly collapsed to the ground.

Unable to fight any longer...

With his fall, the battle ended in victory for Kiana and the others.

"Phew... This big guy is starting to look a bit troublesome. It's almost at the level of a high-level Honkai Beast, isn't it?"

After successfully defeating the enemy, Kiana wiped the sweat from her forehead and focused her gaze on Bronya and the others.

Because the battle had been a bit rushed, and the monster's combat power was quite astonishing, everyone looked tired.

Fortunately, despite the hasty battle, there should be no need for any more high-intensity fighting going forward.

"Let's go."

After briefly assessing her teammates' injuries, Bronya gave everyone the order to continue.

However, it is very regrettable...

"Sorry, Captain, phew... I need to rest. Timido too..."

Lyle covered his mouth and coughed, clearly having come out worse off in the chaotic battle.

Timido, standing nearby, was similar; despite her excellent voluptuous figure, she didn't make any fatal moves in the battle.

Unfortunately, despite her efforts, she was still significantly affected by the chaos of the fighting.

In the end, the two of them were basically too exhausted to continue exploring.

"Since everyone is tired, let's take a rest. Anyway, no more monsters will come out next."

Seeing that everyone was looking at each other with a competitive expression, Xilin, who had been watching from the back, suddenly came up and started to offer her opinions.

This is one of the few times she has proactively offered a suggestion, especially since both members of the team had expressed a request for rest.

After careful consideration, Bronya finally agreed to the request.

but...

"You can rest here, sodium chloride. You're in charge of guarding this place, while my team and I go ahead to scout."

After requesting to travel together, Bronya glanced at Kiana, seemingly with other ideas in mind...

Why are we all different now? (Honkai Impact 3rd): Chapter 37: A long-awaited reunion, and the past...

Honestly, Bronya's gaze... um, why does it look a little strange?

Kiana gazed into those beautiful eyes, carefully watching the gradual reddening of the pupils, and unknowingly became captivated by those beautiful eyes...

"Hmm?" Bronya asked in confusion.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Upon hearing her question, Kiana instantly snapped out of her daze and looked at the captain in front of her.

For some reason, even though nothing was said, it made me incredibly nervous...

I had a feeling that she had something important to tell me.

What exactly happened? Was it about that game that was inexplicable in every sense, or was it that you felt uncomfortable and wanted to lean on me to rest? Or perhaps...

She at least realized it?

Sigh, I didn't expect that the moment Xilin reminded me would come so soon, and now it's time to be honest?

Kiana slowly turned around and found the little guy pulling on his two ponytails, looking indignant as if he was about to be abandoned.

However, this time she didn't rush over to stop her like before; she just stood there angrily, looking sullen.

This reaction completely revealed her attitude.

Although they were extremely unwilling, did they tacitly agree?

Hmm...good news!

The biggest obstacle has been removed. The only thing left to do is probably to explain the whole story.

Ugh, this is such a hassle. If I said I was taken away by some weird thing and then inexplicably returned, wouldn't that seem too strange? Maybe I should just make up a fairy tale? Like, I crawled into the closet while changing clothes, and then disappeared when I came out?

Or rather...
