Look, just like that enemy being shelled right now, if you get hit, you're dead instantly.

After his feet were frozen, the demon, who had lost the ability to move, was immediately hit in the head by Kiana's Gungnir cannon, which was infused with holy blood.

After being hit in the head, the once arrogant ghost was instantly blasted into dust.

"Did we win?!"

After witnessing the enemy being annihilated, Kiana felt as if her body had regained its strength.

Then, she rushed to the girl's side and helped the girl who was almost unable to stand.

"We can talk about other things later. Right now... let's retreat..."

After defeating the enemy, Kiana, pale-faced, spoke to the girl beside her who looked exactly like her.

"This is the enemy's stronghold; it's still too dangerous for us."

As if to echo the girl's words, immediately after she finished speaking, Kiana Kaslana saw countless monsters of all sizes rushing towards the two of them from not far away.

As expected, she did not sense any Honkai energy on the bodies of these monsters.

"I...I understand..."

After saying this, Kiana immediately focused all her mental energy on the core of the Herrscher of the Void.

Afterwards, she once again unleashed the Herrscher of the Void powers that she had previously been unable to use, opened the Gate of Imaginary Numbers, and completed her retreat from the vicinity of Mount Fuji.

"Hmph, they run really fast."

On the ground where the demon had just been killed, the demon, which had been blown to pieces, somehow reformed and reappeared on the battlefield.

"That's the good thing about Sora, she can run away faster than anyone else... Oh well, after we repelled them this time, the location has already been exposed."

"It's too late to switch locations now. It seems I can only try to speed up the progress here in the last bit of time."

………………

St. Freya Academy - Infirmary

In the infirmary of St. Freya Academy, Theresa stared blankly at Himeko Murata and the ghost before her, silently maintaining her gaze on them.

Faced with Theresa's cold gaze, the two of them glared back without fear.

"What are you two doing?"

Ignoring the doctor who was examining her, Theresa said irritably.

"Is it because I haven't been feeling well lately that you're thinking of rebelling?"

"Come on, the two of us are going to rebel now. Do you think you can resist the two of us?"

After coldly slamming the report in his hand onto Theresa's bedside table, Ghost continued.

"Do I need to tell you about your current physical condition, Theresa?"

Looking at the report, Theresa finally understood.

The information I had been keeping hidden could no longer be concealed this time.

After Kiana was removed from the sealing array on the beach, Theresa, whose life force had been drained, began to experience a gradual decline in her physical condition.

Rather, if it weren't for the Honkai Beast factor within her body, she might be singing a sad song for herself right now, then finding a branch of the Rebirth Hall in the Far East to prepare for her final moments.

Even though her physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary people, Theresa was indeed no longer suitable to go to the battlefield after experiencing that day of torment.

And right now, for Theresa, this isn't even the worst of it.

"It's one thing for your physical condition to decline, but you've already fainted on the street several times in the past few days."

On the other side, Himeko, seeing Theresa's stern face, also spoke in an annoyed tone.

"What? The Honkai isn't dead yet, do you want to die before the Honkai?"

"Then, after you die, let everyone in the academy cry their hearts out, and finally, have your dear grandfather capture you on the spot?"

After Otto's name was mentioned, Theresa immediately understood their thoughts and their helplessness.

After Theresa arrived, the Far East branch received many preferential treatments because of Theresa's identity.

There were some complaints about this at the Destiny headquarters, but because Otto was Theresa's grandfather, these complaints did not escalate.

After all, Otto is a man of great character; those who know him understand him, and no one dares to act recklessly in front of him.

Oh, maybe some people would dare, but after these troublemakers all died unexpectedly, the other troublemakers certainly wouldn't dare to provoke them anymore.

However, this preferential treatment is only valid during Theresa's lifetime; if Theresa dies in the Far East branch...

Ghost and Himeko will definitely be heartbroken, but after their sadness, they will surely have to continue to consider the future of the Far East Branch.

Otto's most beloved granddaughter died at the Far East branch. Even if they didn't think so, well...

There's a 99% chance that that petty bishop will retaliate against the Far East Branch.

You said, in this situation...

How could those two not panic?

Chapter 560. Someone come quick!

Of course, from a combat capability perspective, it would be quite difficult for Otto to retaliate against the Far East Branch.

After all, there was a terrifying Honkai energy warrior like Gu Yu squatting here, and several other Herrschers were still acting as Valkyries within the Far East Branch.

Although it's a bit strange to think this way, she felt that if the Far East Branch were to attack the Destiny Headquarters now, their chances of winning wouldn't be low...

It seems like this gives Otto even more reasons to target them!

Revenge doesn't necessarily have to be fought. In this world, although a large organization called the World Serpent has emerged, in most areas, fate ultimately prevails.

An organization that has developed over thousands of years has long been deeply involved in countless regions and fields under Otto's manipulation.

If Otto had this idea, he could have targeted everyone in the Far East branch in every aspect of their lives.

No matter how powerful you are, you must abide by the rules of human society.

And those high-end combat forces of St. Freya Academy...

Although it was a pity, Himeko felt that they were not the kind of eccentric people who would actively break away from social rules.

Even Kiana, who is the least knowledgeable, generally acts in accordance with the various rules of this world.

Not to mention Gu Yu, the strongest among them. He was like a mad beast when fighting against the Honkai, but in his daily life he was actually a law-abiding and polite ordinary young man.

No, it can't even be called obeying the law...

Living in a girls' dormitory for over a million words without having anything happen between him and those girls, is this guy really normal?

In short, it would be far too easy for Otto to target the members of the Far East Branch from other angles.

Even if Gu Yu could temporarily solve the problem using the legendary method of "when in doubt, go to Destiny and beat up Otto," that would only be possible if he could find Otto.

To put it bluntly, Gu Yu will only take action against people he deems problematic or malicious. If Otto were to disappear, he wouldn't go and beat up the staff and Valkyries who were being pressured by Otto.

After all, in his eyes, these tools were just one of the victims. At most, he could alleviate the situation of being targeted to a certain extent, but he could not completely erase the fact that the East Branch was being targeted.

Of course, even after thinking all this, Himeko didn't really want Theresa to just kick her legs and die on the spot.

As Theresa's good friend, she certainly hoped that Theresa could recover fully before continuing her activities.

Theresa appears to have simply fainted from exhaustion, but for a powerful individual with Honkai Beast genes to collapse from overwork only indicates that her body has become even weaker due to the injuries sustained in the previous battle.

These days, whether you're an ordinary person or a Valkyrie, the pressure is getting greater and greater. As Theresa's friend, Himeko really doesn't want Theresa to die from overwork.

"In short, you'd better stay in bed and rest for the time being. A former S-class Valkyrie, she died of overwork in the branch office after retiring..."

After saying these words, Himeko immediately put on an expression of utter disgust.

"If you really die from overwork, the entire Far East branch will be laughed to death by the other branches because of this, you know that!"

"You... never mind."

Theresa, who was furious with Himeko's expression and words, almost threw Judas at Himeko if she hadn't immediately realized that her friend was trying to persuade her to rest.

However, just as Himeko said, although Theresa's strength has not declined, her physical fitness and combat endurance are indeed far worse than before due to that incident on the beach.

She fainted because she wasn't paying attention during this time. Now that she has some free time, she really should pay more attention to these things.

Physical health was secondary; the main thing was that she really didn't want to show such a vulnerable side in front of those kids.

Gu Yu, in particular, could already imagine what the other person would do after seeing her lying on the hospital bed.

Whenever I ask him to slow down a bit in the future, he will definitely use his current physical condition to immediately retort to my words in a sarcastic tone.

To Theresa, Gu Yu was like a rebellious son, giving her a real headache.

Okay, my rebellious son isn't that strong yet.

But if the two of them really started fighting, Theresa felt that she would definitely be the one pinned against the wall on the spot.

Therefore, this matter must absolutely not be known to anyone else.

"Okay, I promise you, during this time..."

"Make way! Make way, everyone! Someone come quick! Get the best doctor out here for me!"

Just as Theresa was about to say something more, a voice that was all too familiar to her suddenly appeared in the hospital.

If I remember correctly, Kiana was sent to investigate Mount Fuji before I fell unconscious... Something happened to her?!

That doesn't make sense either. If something had happened to her, how could she still be so energetic?

"My...my sister is seriously injured! Someone, come quick!"

elder sister?

"Could it be...!"

Upon hearing this address, Theresa's face darkened instantly. She immediately threw off the bedsheet, jumped off the bed, and rushed out into the hospital corridor.

If Himeko and Ghost hadn't known that Theresa's physical condition was really bad, they wouldn't have thought that Theresa, who was running wildly, could have any health problems.

"Sigh, just keep pretending. Let's see what you'll do when you can't keep up the act anymore."

After letting out a long sigh, the ghost reluctantly followed in Theresa's footsteps.

Long ago, Theresa entrusted her with the task of using her intelligence network to help gather clues about the last one of that special set of stigmata.
