K424 of the Collapse World

She was slightly distracted, but her eyes became firm again! She took a step forward, and the broken nitrogen crystal sword in her hand was instantly repaired by the energy. She leaned forward slightly, swung the sword in her hand in a big circle, and slashed at Lan Feng who was motionless!

Lan Feng came to her senses at the same time Ji Zi attacked, and she couldn't help but frown. Although she was full of anger, she still maintained her basic rationality. Considering the information about Hill and Ji Zi's identity, she gave up the idea of ​​killing this enemy and just raised her hand to defend herself.

--Ding!

The sword blade hit the surface of the crystal layer, making a crisp sound. This fierce spinning slash, facing this thin layer of purple crystal wall, was easily deflected.

As the blade was deflected, the violent recoil from the hilt caused Ji Zi to freeze uncontrollably, revealing a huge flaw. But Lan Feng did not take this opportunity to pursue her. It must be said that she was in a delicate mood. On the one hand, although she had some hatred for the Valkyries because of Hill's incident, on the other hand, facing this woman who she was very "familiar" with, if it were not for the principled opposition between the two sides, Lan Feng still did not want to fight with her.

(Although I really want to vent, Hill's current condition is still unclear... So, I must be patient and learn about her current condition from Himeko!)

He was the first to put aside his grudges and wanted to negotiate with the Valkyries, but since they didn't buy it, Lan Feng didn't mind using his own methods to make them behave themselves.

However, although this time he was still forced by the situation, the situation was different. Facing only Ji Zi and two ordinary Valkyries, Lan Feng could easily defeat and subdue them, instead of being at a loss like he did when facing Hyperion before.

"We are destined to be together, Miss Valkyrie~☆"

"Well......!"

As she spoke, Jizi regained her balance. She steadied herself and looked at the purple-haired girl in front of her with some fear. The other's calm eyes seemed to express her disdain. In response, Jizi swung the sword again with an expressionless face, and pressed the armor overclocking button hidden on the gloves without hesitation. Ignoring the screams from her body, she chopped at the purple-haired girl again...

Although she could not see a glimmer of hope of winning, Ji Zi did not want to think too much. She was afraid that if she saw the gap between the two sides clearly and felt the hopelessness of being unable to compete, would she still have the courage to attack the enemy in front of her?

At this moment, her eyes began to burn with a strong will to fight. But on the other side, Lan Feng did not see the determination expressed by Ji Zi at all. The figure of the red-haired woman was reflected in her calm purple cross pupils. All she saw was Ji Zi's "attack behavior".

Since she had decided to capture the opponent, Lan Feng would no longer passively defend. This time, facing the oncoming sword, she did not take any defensive action, but just narrowed her eyes slightly.

(A blade made of ice crystals? A simple energy that manipulates temperature... It must be easy to analyze and reproduce. Let's experience the feeling of being hit by your own attack...)

Recalling the feeling when he held the tip of the sword before, Lan Feng looked at the slowly falling ice crystal blade, smiled softly and activated his ability...

--laugh!!

The next moment, amid the blooming blood flowers, Ji Zi's amber pupils shrank slightly, and she stared blankly at the purple-haired girl in front of her.

As a drop of warm blood splashed on her face, Ji Zi turned her eyes slightly dully, looking at the big sword deeply embedded in the collarbone of the purple-haired girl, her expression gradually became unbelievable...

“Hit…?”

Although she risked her life to launch this attack, Jizi didn't expect that it would actually succeed...

On the other side, Lan Feng lowered his head slightly and looked at his clothes stained with blood. The faint smile on his face had frozen.

(Why...can't parse?!)

Lan Feng stared at the ice crystal sword that had cut her in astonishment. She couldn't understand why she couldn't analyze this simple cooling energy? She was able to analyze and reproduce the energy of the Holy Fire Judgment, which was countless times more complicated than this, but this...

However, she didn't have much time to think. The next moment, a strong flow of information from the injured nerves instantly overwhelmed her mind. Normally, she could easily ignore this level of damage feedback. But now, her mind was in a state of instability. With these strong flows of information, the luster in her purple pupils began to slowly disappear...

[Confirmed to be injured, a small amount of muscle damage, shoulder tendon rupture, bone surface damage... Damage determined, target is a threat! ]

Looking at Ji Zi in front of him, Lan Feng suddenly felt that

In my mind, the string of reason suddenly snapped as my vision slowly turned gray...

229 Retrieval

"They actually found such an opportunity? Haha... I thought I would have to wait a long time before I could do anything to her. This is really a pleasant surprise..."

Inside the Skymanage headquarters, Otto looked at the terminal screen that appeared in front of him, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. The next moment, his expression returned to the polite smile he had before. However, the corners of his mouth that were slightly raised seemed to have become a little bigger than before.

It seemed that Otto was very happy. Although most people could not see it, Fu Hua could easily determine it. After all, after a hundred years of interaction, she was already quite familiar with the bishop.

"Bishop Otto, it seems that you have some personal matters to deal with. Do you need me to step aside first?"

Fu Hua tapped the table lightly with her fingers, asking seriously but politely. She had heard that the bishop had something to ask her, so she naturally did not neglect it. She had been sitting here waiting for Otto an hour ago. However, it was almost half an hour before Otto slowly showed up, without any explanation. As a person from the ancient Shenzhou, Fu Hua naturally did not care about anything and started talking to Otto directly.

However, less than three minutes into the conversation, a terminal screen suddenly appeared in front of Otto. The man's pupils shrank, and he put Fu Hua aside again and began to browse the terminal information. However, Otto's behavior still did not move Fu Hua. She just glanced at the encrypted one-way display screen and asked Otto as before.

Following her voice, Otto, who was immersed in the communication information, came back to his senses, with an unconcealable joy on his face.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, my friend... As you can see, as the Bishop of Heaven's Mandate, there is really a lot of work to do, and even the preparations made in advance will be disrupted..."

Fu Hua nodded, not intending to ask any further questions. The internal affairs of Tianming had nothing to do with her, and Otto would never tell her anything important.

"Never mind, Monsieur Bishop. Now, will you tell me? The subject of my urgent recall."

"Ah, of course."

Hearing this, Otto turned off the light screen and smiled apologetically. He looked at the serious gray-haired girl opposite him, and the smile on his face became more and more real.

"I need your help...my friend."

"If there's anything you need me to do, just ask. Assisting you like this is also part of the agreement."

Fu Hua raised her hand gently and responded calmly. Hearing this, Otto gave up the idea of ​​continuing to say polite words and coughed twice.

"That's right... In that case, I'll just speak directly."

Having said this, Otto paused for a moment and sighed softly.

"You know, the disobedient girl Theresa founded a Valkyrie Academy independent of the headquarters, and she has no intention of sharing any internal information with the headquarters. Therefore, I need you to enter the Saint Freya Academy in the Far East Branch and provide intelligence to the headquarters."

"Far East... huh? If you need to stay undercover for a long time, a legal identity is a must, Mr. Bishop."

"Don't worry about that. I will naturally prepare a disguise for you. Just make some changes to the previous information. Any other questions?"

"When should I leave?"

"As soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand. I will start preparing immediately."

Fu Hua nodded, then stood up and left the reception room of the Tianming headquarters. For her, obeying Otto's orders was just because of the deal between the two parties. Her own power was weakening, and if she wanted to protect that piece of land, she had to rely on the power of Tianming.

However, due to some reasons later, she has broken her promise. Although Otto seems not to have noticed it, Fu Hua herself has begun to feel uneasy...

(If I want Shenzhou to be protected from the collapse, what else can I rely on besides asking for help from the Destiny Organization? But, Xuanyuan... I wonder what your plans are?)

Looking at Fu Hua's receding figure, accompanied by the sound of the door closing, Otto took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair. He supported his elbows on the armrests of the wooden chair and rested his chin on his palms. Thinking of the message he had just received, he laughed unconsciously.

"It was clearly just a product of a whim, but you were able to achieve this level with independent judgment... Although disobeying orders is one thing, since you succeeded, I still have to praise you a little. I really underestimated you, Zarya Hazel."

Looking at the mastermind of the action mentioned in the intelligence information, Otto smiled slightly and turned his gaze to the next page. A light screen with a photo of a purple-haired girl popped up.

"Silis Kaslana... I can't find this name in the Kaslana family records... In other words, you called yourself that, right?"

"From being the K424 test subject at the beginning, to being Cecilia's identity, and now becoming the third Herrscher... How many more surprises can you bring me? I'm really looking forward to it. Their actions this time are probably a big crisis for you, right? I wonder how you will deal with it this time?"

Looking at the light screen showing the purple-haired girl, Otto's expression gradually became intriguing.

"If you can destroy their plan and crush the Far East Valkyries' siege, it means that your abilities are still reserved so far, and you are still worth observing. But if you fail, it means that you will be taken back to the headquarters of the Destiny, and then we will meet directly. Hehe... So, no matter how the situation develops, the result is worth looking forward to for me."

"But for now, let's just hope that Claudia and the others can win. After all, they are also warriors of destiny... If they really have the wisdom to defeat the Herrscher, we can reuse them later..."

Otto smiled and pushed open the light screen in his hand, letting it disappear in the air. Then, the man also walked out of the reception room and walked towards the direction of the bishop's office.

"Come to think of it, Claudia seems to have sent someone else? To ensure that everything is safe... Hehe, Ms. Hillis, I'm afraid you're in a bit of danger..."

In a remote neighborhood in the Far East Outer City, as something changed, a quiet storm suddenly erupted from an alley...

The lavender transparent wave swept across the entire alley in an instant. The walls collapsed, the ground was torn apart, and in the blink of an eye, the surroundings were filled with a faint cloud of smoke and dust.

"Ugh...! Cough cough..."

Jizi bent over and half-knelt on the ground, thrusting the greatsword into the ground to support her body. She gritted her teeth, staring at the purple-haired girl in front of her who looked like a god, and stood up with all her might, raising her sword again.

Just now, the energy that suddenly burst out from the girl's body directly shook her out, and her whole body seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. She just stood there with waves of pain. At this time, the wound under the purple-haired girl's neck healed again in an instant. She looked at Ji Zi expressionlessly, and the purple in her cross-shaped pupils became darker and darker...

"I see. Is this your true power? The Third Herrscher... But judging from your condition, you probably don't want to talk to me."

The eyes of this purple-haired girl were full of spirit before. But now, those deep purple eyes were like dead water. If she looked like a human with emotions just now, now, she has truly turned into a killing machine called "collapse"...

Jizi slowly raised her sword, alert to the girl in front of her, but did not take the initiative to attack. She was sure that although she had managed to injure the Third Herrscher, she was definitely not her opponent. In addition, this level of Honkai outbreak would definitely attract the attention of the headquarters. She could only delay time as much as possible and pin her hopes on the headquarters...

On the other side, the girl tilted her head slightly. After a brief silence, she slowly spoke. A cold and inorganic voice came out of her mouth softly.

"We have finished analyzing the situation... Then, before calling on the followers, we must first eliminate the hostile targets."

What surprised Ji Zi was that the purple-haired girl suddenly took action the next moment! She leaned forward slightly, and in just a moment, her figure crossed a distance of several meters and appeared in front of Ji Zi, with one hand clenched and slowly stretched out...

Faced with the sudden attack, Ji Zi hurriedly dodged to the right and slid to the front of the girl, intending to avoid a head-on confrontation with the opponent.

However, even if she had to delay time, Jizi would never sit still and wait for death. The next moment, she used her right foot as the axis, dragged the big sword and twisted her body with all her strength, and made a diagonal slash accurately towards the neck of the purple-haired girl!

Facing the sword blade that was getting closer and closer, the girl just gently waved her outstretched hand and hit the sword blade with her palm. The next moment, the hard ice crystal sword blade was instantly disintegrated by some force! It was directly broken into pieces and flew away. The metal hilt in Jizi's hand was also broken. Even though it was not hit directly, it was still shattered by the mysterious energy that penetrated it. If Jizi had not withdrawn her hand in time, I'm afraid her entire arm would have been lost!

229 Retrieval>>

(This kind of power...! No, I can't even delay time against her!)

The moment the weapon broke, this thought flashed through Ji Zi's mind, but before she could react, she felt a piercing pain in her chest! Her thoughts seemed to stop at this moment...

"Ugh...!"

The instant feeling of weakness directly blocked Ji Zi's screams. She lowered her head blankly and saw that the girl's palm was still stretched forward and stopped in the distance, but the five purple crystal beams extending from her fingertips had already penetrated her chest and came out from her back.

fresh

The blood entangled the half of the crystal that had penetrated, and fell along the slightly upward tip, dripping onto the slightly cracked ground...

The outcome of the battle was decided within a second.

In the last moment of her consciousness, Ji Zi saw the purple-haired girl with slightly wide eyes. In her surprised eyes, the pupils once again showed the luster that represented emotion...

Although she felt very strange, as her consciousness gradually faded away, Ji Zi no longer had the energy to think about these things.

(Sorry... Theresa... I don't want it to end like this either... But dying on the battlefield is better than dying in front of you after being corroded by the Honkai...)

The wound she received was fatal. As the high concentration of Honkai energy penetrated into her body through the wound, Jizi's self-talk in her mind became intermittent. In the end, her gaze at the girl in front of her gradually became blurred, and her consciousness slowly fell into darkness...

"Hey, hey...Hello! You...?"

At this time, Lan Feng suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Ji Zi, whose chest was pierced by him, in astonishment, and panicked on the spot.

"Why is this happening...?! I...didn't even think of doing this...!"

Lan Feng remembered clearly that although he decided to take action, he just wanted to teach Ji Zi a lesson, then subdue her, and ask her about the final result of the battle and Hill's current situation. However, his analytical ability inexplicably failed. At the moment she was hurt, his mind seemed to have changed in some way, so...

(No matter what...! The most important thing now is to save her life!)

In panic, Lan Feng did not have time to reflect on what had just happened, and hurriedly revoked her ability. As a result, the columnar crystals extending from her five fingers suddenly dissipated the next moment, and the red-haired woman fell forward weakly. Before she fell, Lan Feng gently hugged her and carefully leaned her against him.

The blood had dyed Ji Zi's clothes red. Lan Feng was shocked when she saw it. She had wanted to establish a friendly relationship with someone she wanted to protect, but she had hurt him like this. She was nervous and felt guilty, and her heart was filled with a complex feeling...

"It's a complete tube puncture... the blood loss is huge! If it continues like this, he'll die in a minute. However, if I use the power of creation now, there's still time!"

Lan Feng helped the unconscious Ji Zi kneel on the ground, raised his left hand, and was about to activate his strongest repair ability when he saw the soul steel bracelet that served as a limiter, and frowned slightly.

"The limiter will affect the use of my abilities, but if I remove it, the shield will become ineffective... No! I can't care about that now!"

She took off the soul steel bracelet and threw it aside. With Lan Feng's full efforts, her palm lit up with pure white fluorescence, and she pressed her glowing left hand on the wound on Ji Zi's chest. The next moment, although the wound was still bleeding, the skin tissue at the wound began to proliferate at a speed visible to the naked eye, repairing the tube puncture on the woman's body.

"The repair speed is still a bit slow... I'm still too unfamiliar with the manipulation of Creation and Decay. Damn it! I've already learned it, why didn't I familiarize myself with these abilities in advance?! And I didn't bring any healing potions when I went out..."

However, regretting now was useless, Lan Feng could only concentrate as much as possible to control the repair of the power of creation. She had no other emergency means, so she could only do her best to repair the wound before Ji Zi bled to death...

(It's really ironic that I actually used your ability to save the person who hurt you. I'm so sorry, Ciel... But I can't let her die no matter what...)

Entering Saint Freya and meeting the girls in her memory was Lan Feng's first wish when she came to this world. Even so, she definitely didn't want to meet them as enemies like this when she really met them...

(Misunderstandings can be cleared up later, but if I die... So! I will never let that happen! Calm down... Yes, that's it... Don't be too nervous...)

It is not easy to manipulate unfamiliar energy. Lan Feng's use of this creative power to repair fatal injuries is like asking a primary school student who has just learned to do vertical formulas to calculate seven-digit addition and subtraction. Although it can be done, the difficulty and error rate are quite high. Creation and decay, these two completely opposite forces, are only separated by a wall. If Lan Feng makes a mistake in manipulation, these soft white lights used for healing will turn into deadly corrosive black fog! By then, it will really be irreversible...

At this moment, Lan Feng's mind was extremely focused, and sweat seemed to seep out from her forehead, then slid down and dripped onto the ground. At this moment, she was more focused than she had been in countless life-and-death battles against powerful enemies before, and she carefully repaired Ji Zi's wounds.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Zi's wounds no longer bleed. Although her face has turned quite pale, her weak breathing has not stopped.

Life is interrupted......

"Huh...did it work?"

The wound was completely healed, without even a scar left. Lan Feng gently wiped the sweat off her face, her entire clothes were soaked with sweat. However, looking at Ji Zi who was out of danger, a relieved smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"It was a close call... I almost killed Kiana and Mei's future teacher, but it was a close call... Wait! What is this?!"

Before she finished speaking, Lan Feng's eyes widened again, with surprise in her eyes! She clearly saw that some gray-white particles began to slowly appear near Ji Zi's completely healed wound, and soon gathered together and spread to the surroundings. Within a few seconds, a large area of ​​skin on Ji Zi's chest had completely turned gray-white...

"Dead soldiers...? During the previous attack, the collapse of the crystals could have been leaked out... We need to lure them out quickly!"

Lan Feng was slightly stunned, then he put his hand on Ji Zi's chest again, trying to absorb the Honkai energy. However, the next moment, her expression became surprised again.

“Can’t absorb…? No! I only have a tiny amount of Honkai energy, and most of it is vicious Honkai energy that is constantly eroding her body! Is it because of the resonance with my Honkai energy that causes the accelerated erosion? Then… just like when I rescued Kerry, I should gather her Honkai energy in her arms or legs, and then suppress and seal it…”

Lan Feng took action immediately after making the decision. However, her expression became dull again due to shock...

"Actually... the erosion rate has reached this high?! Honkai energy can't even be compressed... How on earth can she withstand such a terrible Honkai erosion rate?!"
