NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

The gunshot rang out, the bullet pierced the undefended inner mouth, and then tore open a hole the size of a football from the spine below the back of the head. A high-explosive grenade, which had been "warmed" at some point, quietly fell into it...

boom--! ! !

In the firelight, the grotesque head, resembling both an ape and a shark, was scattered and broken apart like a fragile watermelon, leaving only a disgusting cavity composed of flesh and machinery standing on the ground.

Under the moonlight, the lieutenant floated to the side of Xiao Cao's dead body, calmly pulled out the long knife stuck in the man's right arm, and let the man's body fall down with a thud.

"Why can't I split it open?"

The man's tone didn't sound like he was questioning or doubting much; rather, it sounded like he was just looking for an excuse to chat with Honglian.

Upon hearing this, the swordsman, who was facing off against the rose with his knife, paused for a moment, then smiled and replied with a relaxed expression:

"I'll teach you later."

Chapter 284 Both sisters are masters of feigning ignorance

Using the word "instant kill" to describe the scene between Phoenix and the shrew is not actually magical; it can even be described as "as expected."

If we consider that Xiaocao had fought Baixue for several hours before, then what just happened was equivalent to the two top laners fighting until all their skills were off cooldown, and the jungler, Lieutenant, at full strength, flanked and flashed behind Xiaocao, instantly taking down the enemy before Xiaocao could react in time.

The battle situation changed from two against three to three against two, not to mention Alice, Dorothy, and others who were on their way.

The pressure suddenly descended upon the rose and the jellyfish.

"Yes, a very skillful technique."

Having witnessed Phoenix kill Xiao Cao, Normantechesh smiled and looked at his sister, saying:

"I didn't expect you to like this style too."

"?"

Honglian had a good command of Chinese, and with her woman's intuition and familiarity with her sister, she immediately grasped the most important word "also" in Normantechesh's words.

What does it mean to "also" like?

Confusion eagerly crept onto the swordsman's brow. It was just a single word, yet it stirred up a complex mix of emotions within Honglian, making her thoughts even more chaotic and anxious.

First, let's set aside for now what type of man Rose likes, and whether Phoenix meets that standard.

The tone and sentence structure of that sentence alone are very much in line with her sister's style, and she doesn't seem like a heretic whose personality has become extremely unique after being corrupted.

Secondly, considering that the opponent showed mercy at every turn and even took the initiative to block Riberellio's attacks for him...

"What, you've taken a liking to him too?"

Unlike some of the timid and hesitant Niki, when faced with her sister's inappropriate teasing, Guren bluntly retorted with a question that left Riberellio, Shirayuki, Phoenix, and Anick completely bewildered.

However, faced with such an awkward and abrupt scene, Rose smiled gently, nodded frankly, and replied:

"So, are you willing to give it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Honglian's normally straight lips immediately fell down, and a rare hint of anger appeared in her eyes.

Clang!

The next second, the two long swords clashed again, the clang of their weapons echoing through the night sky.

……

Close siblings often have unique communication habits that outsiders cannot understand.

Therefore, there are naturally some little secrets between the red lotus and the rose that cannot be told to outsiders.

The most private thing was the promise the two made when they were young, before Lecher even invaded it.

Although the drunkard's memory was distorted and fragmented, Honglian still remembered clearly the private conversation she had with her sister when she was twelve or thirteen years old and just beginning to experience romantic feelings.

"Since your older sister loves you so much, what if we both fall for the same boy in the future? How about you give yourself to your older sister?"

"Uh-huh."

Clang!

As the blades clashed, the two women froze on the spot, locked in a silent struggle of eye contact.

Normantechesh, who was less than half a body length away from his sister, was laughing heartily, as if he had heard something amusing, and couldn't help but continue to tease her softly:

"Didn't you say you were willing to give it to me when we were little?"

"!"

Faced with Qianghua's teasing, Honglian did not prioritize the issue of who the man belonged to. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and shouted menacingly.

"Rose, give me a reason."

Hearing her younger sister's angry question, the older sister remained completely unaffected by the other's emotions, her tone light and cheerful like a lark.

"The reason, huh?"

"Hmm...maybe I hate the human alliance more than Lecher."

As Rose spoke, she knew perfectly well what Red Lotus was asking her, just as Red Lotus understood the implication in her words.

—Normantchesh was a fake from the very beginning.

She was a rose from beginning to end.

The one who forcibly broke through the NIMPH restrictions for her sister's sake, killed the commander, and then deliberately died at her sister's hands.

Since even NIMPH couldn't control her will and behavior, the virus that eroded NIMPH naturally became a joke.

The reason she chose to pretend to be a heretic and not meet with Honglian was firstly because her younger sister clearly stated that she would stand on the side of the human alliance, and she had already grown disgusted with the human alliance's true colors after learning that only one person from the melee unit could survive, and the two sides had different ideologies.

Secondly, Rose herself was unsure whether she was being monitored. If Lecher or the heretics discovered that her brainwashing had failed, she would likely face a fatal disaster.

On the other hand, upon learning that her sister had been feigning ignorance the whole time and had even taken the opportunity to bully her for seven hours, Honglian couldn't tolerate it. She immediately asked again:

"Then why are you only telling me now!"

"Because I feel like there's a chance to silence them now~"

Rose's tone remained gentle and soft, as if she were coaxing a child.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, let's continue."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the two trembling longswords separated instantly and began to fight fiercely again.

However, this time the battle between the two inexplicably deviated from its course, and the more they fought, the closer they moved towards Liberelio in the east.

……

Boom——! ! !

A giant hammer, as tall as a person, slammed down with tremendous force onto the jellyfish-shaped aircraft. The impact, like a tsunami, sent Liberellio flying backward nearly a hundred meters.

Of course, such a terrifying distance of movement must have involved the heretical girl using leverage to deflect force, but this cannot deny one fact.

—Liberellio dared not take Phoenix's hammer blows head-on.

However, it's understandable. She's a perfectly capable ranged attacker, so there's no need for her to engage in close combat with these tech-savages.

Unfortunately, the jellyfish's plan perfectly matched the savage's tactics. With a "whoosh," the air was torn apart, and the lieutenant, a hundred meters away, gave Liberelliordin no chance to catch his breath. Like a piece of nougat stuck between his teeth, he pounded her with a chaotic barrage of blows.

Unfortunately, Phoenix didn't want to just smash things around inefficiently, but for some reason, Snow White couldn't keep up with his pace. To prevent Liberellio from launching a counterattack, he could only keep applying pressure to force her to be on guard.

As for why he gave up the longsword and switched to a heavy hammer, it wasn't because he didn't care that Honglian would teach him swordsmanship in the future.

The main reason is that, compared to the divine weapons in the hands of those two swordsmen, the sharpened weapons made of nano-metal are far less effective in terms of both lethality and humiliation than blunt weapons.

as predicted……

"Normantechesh!"

Liberellio, who was being treated like a gopher, could no longer bear the humiliation. She let out a cry and tried to call for her teammates, who were fighting against the fairytale-type Niki not far away, to come and help her.

sieve--!

As soon as the girl finished speaking, two beautiful figures, one in black and one in white, turned around and chased after the jellyfish the instant it sent out its plea for help, three or four hundred meters away.

Immediately, to the astonishment of the heretic, the two slid to the left and right, each wielding their swords to slash at her chest and lower back.

Pfft!

With a swift movement, Riberelio, who had barely managed to block the rose-shaped slash using her flying device, had no time to react before being instantly cut in half at the waist by Crimson Lotus behind her...

Chapter 285 There are bad guys on the Ark (End of Volume 3)

Why did Normantechesh betray them?

Time, in the instant Liberellio was cut in half at the waist, transformed into thick syrup, granting her a few moments to think.

If the betrayer at this moment were a fire dragon, the jellyfish might not be as surprised as it is now. After all, it's a rebellious lizard starved for love, and whatever the other party does isn't considered excessive in its eyes.

But why even Normantechesh...

"Beheading."

Without giving Liberellio even the slightest chance to struggle, before Rose could finish her decisive and succinct words, Crimson Lotus, who had already unleashed a strike, immediately flipped her wrist, the blade slicing diagonally from the heretic's right armpit, then cutting towards his left shoulder...

Seeing Liberellio instantly split into three pieces, Phoenix reacted, but it was too late to retract the giant hammer he had swung. With a clang, the poor jellyfish, along with her flying vehicle, was sent flying by the lieutenant's swing, like a golf club.
