Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

It's straightforward, but quick. It doesn't matter if there are disagreements; we can use the process of elimination since the other party is locked into this city anyway.

You're saying Mu Dalu is still having a meeting here? What does that have to do with her husband?

"found it."

"I know I found it, but my head hurts so much from the bump."

It was a frantic rush, and An Yu didn't even notice any details. In the half hour of waiting, Ying had already charted out the next course of action.

Then, due to bad luck, they kept eliminating possibilities until they finally found someone at the very last location.

This also gave the other party time to prepare.

"But something feels off."

It seems that apart from the first explosion, there were no subsequent countermeasures.

They ran away again?

Since someone had vouched for her, Ying didn't think too much about it. While An Yu was still wondering what the other party had prepared, she rushed over and kicked the iron gate. When that didn't work, she kicked it twice more. A gate made of normal building materials couldn't withstand her force.

"So direct?"

Two seconds later, looking at the door that had been kicked open, An Yu subconsciously looked at Ying's calves, which were trembling.

"Although it was somewhat violent and damaged residents' property, thankfully I don't consider bad people to be human."

She took out the baton she carried with her from her pocket. After all, the situation was urgent, and An Yu didn't have time to prepare various weapons.

"Don't use blunt weapons; they're not effective enough against Honkai creatures."

As she spoke, Sakura pulled two short swords, or rather daggers, from her tight pants and tossed one to An Yu.

The young master's fighting ability is not bad; at least his physique is good, so he has some fighting ability.

An Yu: ...

As expected, everyone has their own expertise. He'll teach like that next time, even though he has a better weapon: the Honkai energy shaping technique that Alicia taught him.

"The Honkai energy is so concentrated. How did that guy, an ordinary person, manage to conduct research in this kind of environment?"

This workshop was cleaner than the one An Yu had seen last time. There weren't as many corpses, and it was more vibrant, with shrubs, vines, and trees everywhere—a man-made forest.

Ying pressed An Yu down, listened for a moment, and then frowned.

"Beware of sneak attacks."

There was no sound of breathing; the last remaining enemy was also gambling, gambling on a sneak attack.

"There probably won't be any sneak attacks, Sakura-nee."

An Yu saw a dead body on a vine in the distance; the vine was still moving, gnawing at the flesh.

"We're still too late. The other side should have already moved on to the final step."

"This civilization is truly remarkable, producing a great many talented individuals."

Unlike the present civilization, which has a divine mandate, the previous civilization did not have a single organization to establish standards and directions, and the development directions of various scientists were even more diverse.

The theory of Honkai evolution is not uncommon, just as the organization against the Fire Moth still exists even up to the Herrscher of Binding.

However, so far in the previous civilization, neither the Herrschers nor the Honkai Beasts have shown any emotions. Only geniuses would believe in their own abilities and believe that they can do it.

An Yu bit the dagger in her mouth, and the Honkai energy transformed into an arrow. She nocked the arrow and shot it straight at the distant vines.

As the crystal arrow exploded, the vines, in pain, revealed the scene inside: a middle-aged man leaned quietly against the wall, and syringes were scattered on the ground. The purple liquid seemed to be concentrated Honkai energy, but there were also syringes of other colors, and it was unknown what kind of medicine they were.

The purple markings on her arm spread again. An Yu continued to draw her bow, but as the arrow approached, the vines folded heavily and forcefully blocked the attack.

"Not a Herrscher. At least the current Honkai energy is not enough to produce a true Herrscher."

A pseudo-Rule Master is a Ruler who seems to be no worse than a true Ruler, but who just doesn't cross that line.

"Damn, this is so unpredictable!" Sakura was a little confused. After all, she had never seen anything like this in all her years of missions. But she couldn't back down. Past experience told her that in this situation, the survival rate of running away was far lower than the survival rate of killing the opponent.

With a sudden burst of strength in her legs, Sakura, though unsure of the nature of these vines, had faith in her skills.

She belongs to no particular sect or school; this is the most convenient, quickest, and bloodiest technique she has learned from killing so many people.

A vine is still a vine, and it can't stop a dagger. But a dagger is still a dagger; it's too short to cut a path directly.

Moreover, the layers of vines resembled a tangled swarm of snakes, and a section suddenly emerging from them caught people completely off guard.

But Sakura reacted quickly. The high-speed friction sliced ​​off a layer of flesh. Sakura's expression changed. She grabbed it and didn't dare to stop, quickly backing away. It hurt, it hurt so much!

"The dagger is too short."

An Yu remained silent, placing the dagger aside and transforming the bow and arrow in her hand into a greatsword. After all, since it had no weight, a greatsword was definitely better.

"Without the ability to lock blood, this is really a bit tricky."

"Sister Ying, you go first, I'll take care of the boss."

An Yu turned her head with some confidence, and then saw Ying expressionlessly pull out various sharp weapons from her waist, which was covered by her short sleeves, and then put them together.

Her originally fair skin was now wrapped in a black band. Unsurprisingly, Sakura's thighs were also wrapped with this thing. Impressive! No wonder Sakura has made a name for herself.

Although Sakura's left hand was injured, her strength in wielding the sword with both hands was much weaker. After all, the main hand for a normal two-handed sword is the left hand, and the right hand is the auxiliary hand.

Sakura calmly gripped her weapon. Although she wanted to gasp for breath, she couldn't show weakness in battle, especially with her companions by her side. A blow to her confidence would be even worse.

So she calmly looked at An Yu, preparing to explain the opponent's support attack.

"..."

Before she could finish speaking, she stared blankly at the crystal greatsword in An Yu's hand.

"Onmyoji?"

What about your shikigami?

"No, it's the savior."

"Also, the other party is about to successfully convert, they're about to make their move, Sister Ying!"

Chapter 106: One Hundred and Four Words of Peace! Yes!

One on the left and one on the right, although they had never worked together before, they both tacitly chose to cut the vine in the middle.

Then it stabbed at the enemy's body, but the ensuing collapse was too much for An Yu and Ying to bear. After that, the vines seemed to have completely gained intelligence, and their aggression increased by more than 10%. Ying had no choice but to pull An Yu back two steps.

"The transformation was successful after all. Why would someone with such great talent choose such a crooked path?"

An Yu pursed her lips, her hands empty, somewhat puzzled.

Sakura has a lot of combat experience, and even though the incident happened suddenly, she drew her weapon. An Yu didn't react in time, but it didn't matter, since she was shaped by Honkai energy.

Come to think of it, this power seems to be unique to Herrschers, oh no, Fusion Warriors also have it, but ultimately, the one who uses it the most is Alicia.

The Spear of the Void is not a Honkai-shaped object; that's related to imaginary space.

"This is troublesome. There's no turning back, An Yu."

Sakura gradually ignored the pain in her hand, feeling that if something went wrong this time, she would really die.

"I never even considered running away."

Although the transformation was successful, the newly formed pseudo-Herrscher was no different from the one in its previous dormant state; it had no expression and no emotions.

"Everyone's going to charge forward based on their own abilities; this time it's not just a matter of teamwork."

With the Flame Blaze Greatsword gathering in her hand once more, An Yu wiped the blood from her face. "It's alright, I can keep charging."

While the vines are now more aggressive, the cost is that their dense, impenetrable defenses are no longer present.

"But it's too slow!"

After all, it's just a bunch of vines. Even if they're covered in thorns, their speed won't increase at all. An Yu is Alicia's student!

The Honkai energy in her hand was reshaped, and as An Yu rushed over, she grabbed the vine and pulled it forcefully in this direction.

An Yu felt that right now, he was the super-powerful giant!

The next moment, Sakura grabbed An Yu's shoulder and flipped her over to slash at the enemy's head.

game over?

The blade is stuck, not because it's dull, but because Sakura has lost her strength.

When Sakura was climbing over An Yu, she felt a sense of powerlessness, but she couldn't stop, so she could only slash.

No miracle occurred; she herself didn't believe her attack would work, and of course, no surprises came.

dying.

Sakura realized the attack had failed, even before her body had fallen from mid-air.

The vines are poisonous, and An Yu also has wounds on her body.

According to the usual practice of the Poisonous Pupa, Ling should receive a good compensation payment through various means, and no one among the Fire-Chasing Moths dares to embezzle this money.

But can Ling really survive well on her own?

"An Yu!"

"Yes, I am!"

Before she knew what was happening, An Yu only knew that Sakura's attack had failed, so she pulled her back, rolled on the ground twice, threw Sakura aside, and stood up again.

As the force weakened, An Yu roughly understood why Ying hadn't chopped off the other person's head earlier.

Shaking her head violently only made her more dizzy. The greatsword in her hand slashed across her arm, and the intense pain brought An Yu back to her senses.

Seeing the broken patterns appearing on her left arm, An Yu didn't have time to think about what was going on. She used her greatsword in one hand to cut off the attacking vines again.

"Yuno..."

Thinking of this, An Yu gripped the vine again. As the owner of the vine, the newly born Herrscher at this moment did not even have the ability to actively sever the vine.

The vegetable was pitiful. While pulling back, it moved closer to the opponent, but the sharpness of the weightless greatsword in its right hand did not decrease in the slightest.

There were too many vines. The greatsword could cut them, but once it was entangled, there was no chance to exert any force.

Okay, I'm bad at this too. The markings on my body keep spreading, and the Honkai energy is reshaping me. What did Alicia call this move again? Arrow of Love? Or Oath of Wind and Moon?

However, there was no need for An Yu anymore, during the brief stalemate between the two.

Sakura had already appeared behind the other party, her eyes cold and slightly bloodshot. The dagger pierced through her left hand, but it did not affect the strength of her right hand at this moment.

Even to prevent insufficient force, this time she did not choose a more powerful slash; instead, the blade pierced straight through the opponent's neck, and then, using the force of her fall, she slashed sharply to the side.

Avoiding bones, human flesh and blood are as fragile as paper in the face of a blade specialized in this art.

As the blood gushed out, the vines lost all strength and fell to the ground along with the corpse.

"The vegetables are pitiful."

Unsure whether she was talking about the other person or mocking herself, An Yu forced herself to stay upright, her arms trembling uncontrollably.

A pseudo-type who was instantly killed by Theresa when she got serious, and he and Sakura almost died here, and Sakura was an instant-kill type of character.

Blood kept flowing from my arm, but compared to the pain of the Honkai erosion emanating from my body, it seemed nothing.

An Yu tugged at the bandages on her body, trying to cover as much of her body as possible, but seeing Ying's condition, she tore off a piece and wrapped it around Ying's hand.

We'll see if it's clean when we get back.

"Can you still move, Sakura-nee?"

There was no reply. Sakura's smile was forced, and she was also very curious as to why An Yu could still move. Was her health and resilience bar really that thick?

"The rescue is estimated to take an hour. This place is quite far from the Moth of Fire, and this is only if the intelligence department has already arrived."

"..."

I sat heavily on the ground, pulled out my phone, and thankfully it still worked.

First, I initiated location sharing, then I made a phone call, which was quickly answered.

"Alicia, can you come and save us?"

An Yu didn't hear what Alicia said clearly, her mind was a little blurry. In her memory, she must have pulled Sakura closer to her at the end, so that the other person wouldn't be soaking in blood later.

It's pathetic how weak it is; it took three months to get it to this level.

When An Yu woke up again, she found the surroundings very familiar.

The familiar ceiling... but this time it's me lying in the hospital bed, not Sister Wilvi.
