Miss Surtr will ignite the world

This place is about ten kilometers away from Qianyu Academy, and it is also far from the center of the Honkai energy outbreak. Moreover, the area in front looks like a deep mountain forest, so why are there more and more of them?

Is there another Honkai eruption point ahead? Or is there something nearby attracting them?

This place isn't far from the base; it seems necessary to investigate.

Realizing this, Surtr stopped his mindless hacking and slashing and instead concealed his presence to observe quietly.

It doesn't take much time to get the answer.

It's quite obvious that the Honkai Beasts around me are indeed converging in a certain direction.

As she moved forward, observing the gradually changing scenery around her, she began to form some guesses.

As far as she knew, the only thing that could ever attract Honkai Beasts was a Herrscher.

But now that the Herrscher of Thunder has disappeared, she will not only no longer attract attention, but will also be chased and attacked.

Perhaps that could be considered a kind of attraction?

Of course, Mei put aside her embarrassing situation for now. Besides the Herrscher of Thunder, she knew that there was another Herrscher in Changkong City.

Gee tut.

The small city of Changkong was visited by two Herrschers in one day, no, if you include Kiana, it could be three.

That's enough to make a whole table for playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

It really is a treasure trove.

As we continued forward, the scenery around us gradually changed.

Houses decreased, trees increased, and the cement floor underfoot turned into a muddy mess.

As she got closer, she could clearly feel the Honkai energy in the air flowing in one direction.

However, the commotion was much smaller than that of the Herrscher of Thunder.

No further guidance was needed; Surtr continued onward until he arrived at a dilapidated shrine.

Well, actually, in her opinion, this can no longer be called a shrine.

Its size is incomparable to the shrines we usually see in anime.

It was just a dilapidated little wooden hut, with two half-human-sized statues placed in the center, presumably for worshipping deities.

It's more like the local earth god temples I used to see back in my hometown than a shrine.

But the small statue clearly failed to attract Surtr's attention; his gaze remained fixed on the front of the temple.

On the steps at the entrance of the temple, a pink-haired girl with rabbit ears was sitting on the steps.

She placed a futuristic, black and red Japanese sword on her soft thigh clad in white stockings, while Honkai energy continuously converged towards her from all around.

It could be felt that, as time went on, the aura of a pseudo-Herrscher emanating from the girl was constantly rising.

It seems there were no supplies left in the box, so let's hurry up and eat something now that we're out.

If nothing unexpected happens, those Honkai Beasts were attracted by the girl in front of them.

Surtr undoubtedly knew the other party.

Yae Sakura, a native of Shinano five hundred years ago, is the most powerful person in the world today and the rival of Archbishop Otto of Destiny.

I heard that the latter even had the former make a cameo appearance as the final boss in his self-developed game, Kallen Fantasy.

One can imagine how interesting it would be for these two to meet.

The sword in her hand looks like a Divine Key Jizo Mitama. Has that thing been made yet?

Surtr was puzzled.

However, she was already used to the discrepancy between reality and the plot.

Normally, she would definitely go up and get to know this beautiful girl with beast ears who has the aura of a widow, but she felt that now was probably not a good time.

Of course, it wasn't because I was afraid of disturbing the other person's cultivation and causing them to suffer a qi deviation or something like that.

Despite looking exactly alike, their mental state was clearly not quite right.

She could see that it was full of negative energy.

Miss Surtr had some guesses about the other person's condition.

Because her presence was concealed, Miss Surtr had not yet been discovered by the other party. On top of that, Miss Surtr added another layer of optical invisibility to herself.

The location here isn't far from the base, and a pseudo-Herrscher wielding a Divine Key is far too dangerous. It would be troublesome if they were ambushed.

So let's give that dangerous thing to Miss Surtr first.

The Third Honkai Impact: Chapter 18 - Bronya's Misfortune

A purple beam of light lit up the ground and pierced through several high-rise buildings.

In the city, the thrusters of the heavy-duty bunny emitted a deep hum, and Bronya, her face stiff, was held in the mecha's palm as they quickly traversed the city.

In the distance came the rumbling sound of bricks and stones breaking, as if some enormous thing was crushing through the steel jungle.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted behind her, smashing a towering building to pieces. Amidst the flying bricks and stones, a massive, mountain-like figure emerged.

It resembles a giant elephant, but is far more ferocious than any known elephant species.

Its pale carapace, covering its entire body, reflected a cold luster in the sparse moonlight, and its huge, curved fangs stretched forward like two deadly scimitars.

Bronya couldn't see the location of the other person's eyes, but she could clearly feel that she was being watched.

A deafening roar erupted from its gigantic maw, the sound waves almost materializing, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

The giant beast was charging toward her, its heavy limbs pounding the ground, each landing causing a tiny tremor.

Bronya's face was stiffer than usual.

Emperor-class Honkai Beast, Ganesha.

That was someone she couldn't afford to mess with right now; she had no choice but to run away.

Bronya felt like she was having a really bad day.

Not only are they facing numerous obstacles in capturing the Herrscher of Thunder, but now even luring a Honkai Beast is getting them targeted by that monster.

Originally, the plan was simply to lure a few weak Honkai Beasts into a situation where the hero saves the damsel in distress, then quickly close the distance and naturally attach himself to the other party.

So why did I end up encountering this kind of guy?

Turning her head, she saw Ganesha approaching her at a speed completely disproportionate to its enormous size.

The strong wind it generated stung her cheeks, and the house Bronya had used as a barrier crumbled like tofu under Ganesha's fangs.

This area is near the edge of the city, and most of the houses are not even as tall as Ganesha. Destroying them would be no more difficult than destroying building blocks, so they would not serve as any obstacle at all.

Now there are two options: one is to go into the city and use the terrain to maneuver against the enemy, and the other is to go directly to Raiden Mei's location.

The former is too dangerous, as there are other Honkai Beasts in the city, but the latter could easily make them doubt their own identities.

Bronya wanted to consider it carefully, but reality didn't give her much time.

The giant beast is approaching.

Bronya raised her hand, and energy rapidly gathered at the muzzle of the Heavy Bunny's cannon.

A blazing beam of light shot out, striking precisely the carapace on Ganesha's head.

However, when the flames from the explosion subsided, only a charred mark remained on the shell, without causing any substantial damage.

Moreover, the tickling-like attacks only further enraged the beast.

Ganesha's one eye glowed brightly red, and it stood upright, stomping down heavily with its forelimbs!

"Boom!"

A ring-shaped shockwave suddenly spread outward from it, cracking the ground inch by inch, and causing the surrounding trees to fall outward in a radial pattern.

Fortunately, the heavily armored bunny didn't need to stand on the ground. The churning earth and rocks and the destructive ripples passed beneath her, but the impact still forced her to dodge the bricks and stones with difficulty.

However, Ganesha's attack did not end there. It opened its hideous maw, and dense Honkai energy transformed into a torrent of purple light, rushing towards Bronya in the air.

"Imaginary Number Shield, deploy."

Bronya quickly issued the order.

The heavily armored bunny instantly deployed a diamond-shaped energy shield in front of her. A beam of Honkai energy exploded on the shield, dazzling yet deadly.

The terrifying impact rendered the Heavy Bunny unable to maintain its movements. The destructive will transformed into a tangible pressure that weighed heavily on Bronya's mind. Her body, like a leaf in a storm, was swept away by the storm of energy.

As night deepened, inside the temporary outpost.

"Something's up."

Intense Honkai energy fluctuations swept around, and Siegfried, who was on guard at the base, suddenly stood up. His instincts, honed by years of combat, instantly put him on alert, and he looked into the distance.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

Kiana and Mei followed each other's gaze and looked into the distance. Then, a dazzling purple light flashed in their eyes.

"what is that?"

Kiana squinted, but couldn't see much because of the darkness.

"That's probably an Emperor-level Honkai Beast. Be careful."

Siegfried spoke, but his tone didn't sound particularly tense.

As an S-rank wielder of the Divine Key, even without unleashing his ultimate power, Emperor-class opponents are merely troublesome for him.

But compared to that, the Emperor-class might attract other Honkai Beasts, which would be more troublesome.

"Emperor-class? How much stronger is it than Chariot-class?"

Kiana was unfamiliar with the scale of Honkai Beasts.

"Perhaps, maybe a hundred times?"

Siegfried said uncertainly.

The words had barely left his lips when a dull tremor shook the ground, and a chilling roar echoed from the outskirts of the stronghold.

The enemy is approaching rapidly, but the first to arrive is not a Honkai Beast.

In the line of sight, a gray-haired loli with strange twin ponytails sitting on a mecha first came into view.

But there doesn't seem to be time to think about why such a guy would be here.

A white-painted mech fell from the sky, with blazing white lightning faintly visible emanating from its interior. Like a kite with a broken string, the imposing mech made a violent, intimate collision with the ground. The heavy metal block smashed into the ground, creating a deep crater, and the figure in its hand was thrown out, rolling twice on the ground before struggling to get up again.

Hey! Are you alright?

Seeing that the other party was in danger, Kiana shouted and then rushed forward.

On the ground, Bronya's delicate little face was covered with a layer of dirt and grime. She struggled to get up and ran forward.

Bronya started running, but fell to the ground as soon as she took her first step.

Frowning, she looked at the exoskeleton on her foot.

Due to the experiment, her legs are paralyzed and she needs an exoskeleton to move, but the impact just now seems to have damaged the exoskeleton.

That's really bad luck.

Bronya complained again, but her tense mood relaxed slightly. Although things might get complicated later, at least her life was saved.

Ahead, a white-haired head that glows even in the night is rapidly approaching.

"Come with me quickly."

Kiana ran to the other person, quickly picked them up, and ran behind them while shouting.

"Dad, I'm leaving it to you!"

"Honestly, Kiana, you're still too impulsive. You actually dared to rush in like that."

Siegfried stood in front of the three, directing the Heavenly Fire at the charging Ganesha.

"Isn't it because Dad is here? A mere Emperor-level expert is definitely no match for you!"

"Ha, they always know when to flatter."

Siegfried revealed a slightly smug smile.
