Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

"Let's retreat, no, we can defeat our opponents," said the captain of the second Valkyrie squad, who then led more than a dozen Valkyries in a rapid retreat.

The civilians in the rear panicked and, seeing the Valkyrie troops retreat, began to flee with their most valuable possessions.

After a brief silence, Kaslana, who had remained where she was, resolutely stepped forward, declaring, "Let's fight!"

Not a single voice of doubt arose. Everyone knew they could not defeat their opponent, and even the patriarch was seriously injured and bedridden after fighting the Honkai Emperor.

But someone always has to step up to cover the rear and slow down the Honkai invasion.

Every bit of time gained means more people survive, and the Kaslana People's Shield is more than just a slogan.

"Roar—!" The Honkai Emperor swooped down, like a meat grinder, wantonly slicing through ordinary flesh and blood.

The Kaslana family members began to spread out, at least to avoid being wiped out all at once.

Truman gasped for breath, spitting out a mouthful of thick, black phlegm, his smile strained.

"Is my body reaching its limit? We're all going to die anyway. Ever since I was a kid, I've wondered, if I absorbed Honkai energy at all costs to amplify my body, would I become incredibly strong?"

"And then, in front of everyone, defeating a powerful enemy in a gruesome manner is pretty cool, isn't it!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Now I can finally try it. I hope this time it won't disappoint me like it did when I was a kid, and I'll get a borderline A grade."

Truman bit his lip, half of his face turned horrified, and even his left eye was contaminated, the white of his eye disappeared, and his clear blue eyes turned into turbid purple pupils.

It grew fangs from its mouth, its expression became increasingly ferocious, and it completely lost its human appearance.

He knew that if he poured all his life into that spear, he would not survive, regardless of success or failure.

But it's not a tragedy; his name will be engraved in the family cemetery, and his wife's unborn child will see his honor and be proud of it.

The biggest pity is that I didn't get to hold that unborn child.

Truman silently bowed, gripping the spear tightly with both hands, and his other, still bright eye dimmed in an instant.

Truman suddenly leaped and pounced on the giant, corrupted emperor.

"drink!!"

The silicone-based skin, which was originally impervious to cuts, cracked at this moment, and then purple blood gushed out.

Truman grinned maniacally. He exhausted all his strength and used an ordinary spear to open a gash in the incredibly powerful Honkai Emperor in his eyes!

"Truman! Watch out!!"

With Kaslana's warning, Truman realized that a giant light blade was about to fall from above.

"I...it seems I won't disappoint everyone this time," Truman smiled.

He could have dodged the falling light blade, and the Honkai Emperor only wanted to stop him from further widening the wound.

Unexpectedly, Truman did not leave the wound; he looked up, smiled, and faced the falling blade directly.

The seemingly beautiful blade of light pierced straight through Truman's head, slicing his flesh and blood in two.

However, the spear landed precisely on the shaft of the spear, causing it to penetrate deeper into the wound, further tearing it and worsening its severity.

No one was surprised, because every Kaslana learns something during graduation season.

If faced with an enemy that cannot be defeated, use the Honkai energy to amplify your strength, sacrificing your life to inflict damage and create an opportunity for other warriors to win.

The weak have no choice but to fight to the death to defeat the strong.

"Roar—!!" The Honkai Emperor roared deafeningly, enraged by the insignificant humans.

The volatile and destructive emperor charged suddenly towards the fleeing crowd.

"Stop the beast!"

At a command, several more Kaslana warriors, overloaded with Honkai energy, jumped onto the Honkai Emperor's body.

Right before my eyes are the wounds that Truman just inflicted with his life.

The two men, unarmed, frantically pounded their fists into the wound gushing purple blood.

He held nothing back, not even stopping when his hands became bloody and mangled.

The sound of bones shattering was drowned out by the lament of the Honkai Emperor; shattered bones did not harm the Honkai Emperor, nor did they harm humanity.

If you don't have hands, use your head.

Unlike zombies, Honkai Beasts, though lacking intelligence, can still feel pain. The intense pain slows their advance.

Chapter 30 The Name of Kaslana II

The soldier on its body fell from a height of ten meters due to exhaustion, and was completely disfigured.

But it doesn't end there. New Kaslana warriors continue to emerge, their Honkai energy boosting their power, and they exchange all their remaining life force for a brief surge in strength.

Finally, after sacrificing almost all the Kaslanas present, the Honkai Emperor fell to the ground, its light blades vanished, signifying its ultimate demise.

The Kaslana warriors, lying on the ground barely alive, couldn't help but laugh when they saw the Honkai Emperor, who had also fallen.

The laughter was hoarse, even in cases of severe injury, it was barely audible, more like the mumbling of a mute.

Apart from Truman and a few others who were directly killed by the Honkai Emperor, the rest of the Kaslanas were on the verge of death, but their lives were clearly less than a minute long.

The price of victory for the weak.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that their deaths were worthwhile, the second Honkai Emperor slowly swept over their mutilated bodies.

Their slow movement speed seemed to mock their defeat.

"for!"

This is the limit of Honkai Emperor; there has never been a second case of Honkai Emperor before!

Did they lose?

The smiles vanished from everyone's faces, replaced by a deep sense of despair.

They seem to have failed in their name as Kaslana, failing to protect the people.

In a flash, after sensing that Kaslana beneath him had vanished, the Honkai Emperor suddenly accelerated and flew toward the fleeing crowd.

"Honkai Beasts are coming!!" People screamed in panic and fled in all directions.

During the procession, some people were knocked to the ground and then trampled by crowds of people, their bones crushed to pieces.

Because of her exceptional physical abilities, the Valkyrie had fled the Vienna border early on and was taking roll call under the shade of a tree.

Just as the Honkai Emperor was about to charge into the crowd, staining the entire city with his crimson blood.

A cross descended from the sky to stop the Honkai Emperor from advancing.

Then came Kallen, dressed in a Valkyrie uniform.

"Inch Force - Heaven-Opening!"

With a punch accompanied by a fierce gale, he knocked the Honkai Emperor to the ground.

Then, with a backflip, he grabbed Judas and threw him out with force, smashing the Honkai Emperor's head into a pulp.

"Whoosh!" Karen's full breasts heaved violently.

The battle itself doesn't consume stamina, but the journey there is extremely stamina-consuming.

She has now reached the Taixu Sword Qi Bright Mirror, obtained the Eleventh Divine Key of the previous civilization - the Oath of Judah, and her combat power far exceeds that of the former God of War Francis.

Now, the girl who once fought to the death against the Honkai Beast horde, nearly killed by a dual-wielding assassin, is now a thing of the past.

To grow into an existence capable of single-handedly annihilating a Honkai Beast tide.

But this effort did not make things easier for Karen; on the contrary, it made things even harder.

Karen looked around at Kaslana's corpses, bit her lip, and remained silent.

Their mutilated bodies and faces covered in erosion patterns revealed what had just happened.

They may have died blaming themselves for not being able to defeat the enemy.

Of the thirty-four Kaslana warriors, none survived.

Meanwhile, the second Valkyrie squad returned to the main Valkyrie force.

"Hey, didn't you come back with Captain Karen?" Aisha couldn't help but ask.

She clearly remembered that Captain Kallen had just returned from the perilous ruins of a pre-civilization. After receiving news of the Honkai Beast Tide, she rushed there without stopping. Logically, she should have returned with the second squad.

The second squad leader paused, then calmly said, "We didn't receive any information before we set off. After analyzing that the Honkai Beast Tide was beyond our control, we followed the first Valkyrie rule: if the situation is beyond saving, we can choose to retreat, prioritizing the preservation of life."

"I'll bring the rest of my teammates back."

"Yes, I did a good job. The Valkyrie Second Squad returned safely with no casualties."

As colleagues, the other Valkyries also breathed a sigh of relief, but soon a question popped into everyone's mind.

What about other people?

Aisha Karen's subordinate, and also the vice-captain of the Valkyrie Squad, she is well aware of Karen's strength and conviction.

Additionally, there are warriors from the Kalenkaslana family.

Yu Aisha couldn't help but ask, "Were the civilians evacuated safely?"

"Due to the emergency, we left the scene first and were unaware of the specifics of what happened."

Aisha then asked, "How severe is the Honkai Beast tide?"

"There is a Honkai Emperor, you know, apart from the former God of War, only Captain Kallen can defeat it."

Aisha finally asked the question that mattered most: "What was Kaslana doing while you were retreating?"

""

The captain of the second Valkyrie squad remained silent for a long time before finally whispering, "In battle."

The atmosphere inside the room instantly plummeted to zero. Although no one said anything, everyone understood Kaslana's personality and knew she would stick to her post and deal with the Honkai Emperor before the people were completely evacuated.

But that Honkai Emperor is not just a simple assassin or Honkai Beast.

Without the Valkyrie's assistance, the battle was almost entirely one-sided.

It was obvious to the Valkyries that dozens of Kaslanas were no match for a massive Honkai Emperor.

Elsa's back was now drenched in cold sweat. What if Captain Karen hadn't arrived in time? Judging from the scene...

That's all.

They could just desert! They'd at least help Kaslana delay the inevitable.

If you can't fight back, you can at least stall. As long as you don't risk your life, an A-rank Valkyrie isn't so easy to kill.

Elsa is now in a terrible predicament because of their differing ideologies. Although Captain Kallen is the commander-in-chief of the Valkyrie Squad, she is constantly clashing with other Valkyries and is subsequently punished by Destiny.

She did all the dirty and hard work. Fortunately, Otto from the Apocalypse family often brought her equipment and tipped her off, otherwise Captain Karen would have been killed by those old men from Schicksal sooner or later.

Before Aisha could figure out how to help Kallen escape punishment, Kallen returned to the Valkyrie unit without a word.

All the Valkyries held their breath. Their captain, who used to return with a bright smile, now had a gloomy look in her eyes, devoid of any sunshine.

It gives one a sense of calm before the storm.

After thinking for a moment, the second squad leader walked up to Karen, wanting to explain that his actions did not violate any rules.

She spoke: "Me"

But before he could utter another word, he was met with a resounding slap.

The sound was so clear and crisp that it lingered and echoed throughout the room for a long time.

"Get out."

Chapter 31 The Tightened Clockwork

The gentle voice of the past seemed to have vanished at this moment.

It was devoid of any emotion, chilling to the bone.

The cold rebuke left everyone speechless. In the past, even when Karen was angry, she would never say anything that was almost tantamount to turning her back on someone.

His beautiful face was cold and his eyes were full of chilling intent, staring at her as if she were a blood feud.

The second squad leader's mind went blank, and he couldn't react for a moment.
