Ji Lin, I Will Accompany You

"Ji Lin has already risked everything. She is extremely weak to begin with, and her mental state is also terrible. If she forcibly absorbs Chiyou's energy like this, she will really die! I must stop Ji Lin. In return, I must ask you to appease Chiyou!"

"Don't be ridiculous! You're still a student; this kind of fight is not something you should get involved in!"

Faced with Fu Hua's resolute gaze, Welt refused without hesitation.

There's him here, there's Durandal, and if all else fails, there's Theresa and Rita. It's not like a student has to face that kind of battle.

This is not even in the same league!

"I have a plan!"

"What if I were added? The Taixu Sword Qi has a special technique for targeting the spiritual realm. If Master and I were added, perhaps we could stop Senior Ji Lin."

Just as Fu Hua finished speaking firmly, Anqi, who was holding a sword in her arms, arrived and offered her advice in a righteous and righteous manner.

Fu Hua shook her head violently.

"No! You can't go!"

"Don't hesitate any longer, Master! If this continues, Senior Ji Lin really won't be able to hold on! He is our Grandmaster's closest friend. How can we, as his disciples, sit idly by?"

"Your swordsmanship is..."

"I've broken through to the fourth level! I've also mastered the Form Resonance! With this sword, I won't be a burden to Master! Master, I know what loss feels like. I won't let you fight alone. Let me help you!"

Anqi spoke each word with conviction, her wide eyes filled with unwavering belief—thank you, Ancestor Ji Lin, for the cultivation experience you contributed. Although she learned the early version of the Taixu Sword Qi, the cultivation of the sword heart was largely the same, which helped Anqi and others take a shortcut.

Fu Hua took a step back, but she didn't have time to be shocked by Anqi's progress.

She wanted to save Ji Lin, but she was running out of time, and she didn't want to see her disciple in danger.

Hesitation, a dilemma.

Until Anqi gripped her hand tightly.

"Master, trust Anqi, we'll fight side by side!"

"If that doesn't work, add me. Alliance Leader Welt and Miss Ninti will go to appease Chiyou, and the three of us will go to stop La Signora Ji Lin. This is the only option right now. Time is running out, so don't hesitate any longer!"

Durandal made a decisive suggestion.

Fu Hua stared blankly at Anqi for a moment, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Okay, we'll go together! But promise your master you won't be reckless, understand?"

"Yes, yes, trust me, Master!"

The team quickly split up and, without delay, flew directly towards the battlefield.

Welt and Ninti, hand in hand, flew ahead of them.

"Ninti, what do you want to do?"

"Joachim, do not refuse, lend me your strength."

Ninti said in a soft, childish voice.

Welt was puzzled, and the next second, he felt that the Honkai Energy and Herrscher Authority within his body seemed to be restrained in some way.

Trusting Ninti, Welt gave up resisting and allowed the power to flow into Ninti.

Then, Ninti raised her hand, her purple eyes gleaming with a dazzling golden light, and a powerful repulsive force suddenly appeared between the struggling Ji Lin and Chiyou.

"Bang!!"

With a loud bang, the two fighters were suddenly pushed in two different directions.

Welt glanced at the other three beside him and gave Durandal a look.

"Please take good care of them."

"... I am the Valkyrie of Schicksal."

Durandal replied with a strange expression.

You, the Anti-Entropy Leader, are asking my S-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal to take care of the other two Valkyrie of Schicksal. Is there something wrong with that?

Durandal blinked, not having time to dwell on such a trivial matter, and led Fu Hua and Anqi towards the direction where Ji Lin had been sent flying backward.

Welt coughed awkwardly, then looked at Ninti had just put her hand down.

'It really is Joyce's gene; she really can use this power!'

Welt thought with great satisfaction, his eyes softening as he looked at Ninti.

Ninti gazed at Chiyou in the distance with her golden eyes, her soft hair fluttering gently, and said:

"Let's go, Joachim."

"Ah? Oh, okay."

The two flew hand in hand towards the direction of Chiyou.

At this moment Chiyou had just crawled out of the rock, on all fours, and was about to charge towards Ji Lin like a wild beast.

Ninti raised her hand.

"Gravity, 10,000 times."

"Boom!!!"

An immense, overwhelming pressure descended upon Chiyou, halting her movements and pressing the ground around her downwards.

Chiyou maintained his charging stance, not collapsing, but simply looking up at Ninti.

Although the figure was completely dark, with no facial features or expression, Welt seemed to sense confusion from its posture.

"Hiss~ Friend, Ninti, why are we fighting?"

"Hmm... I don't want to fight you. How about I tell you a little more story? Or I brought some candy, can I treat you to some?"

Ninti tapped her chin and thought for a moment, then finally took out a lollipop.

'This is far too frivolous; how could such a method possibly work...'

Then Chiyou took Ninti's lollipop, and without even tearing open the packaging, he shoved it into what should have been his mouth.

Chiyou squatted down.

With a crunching sound, the lollipop, along with its packaging, was swallowed into Chiyou's pitch-black body.

Ninti also squatted down and stroked Chiyou's head. Although she didn't know what the pitch-black figure would feel like, Ninti's expression suggested that she was quite comfortable with it.

'It actually worked!'

Welt's lips twitched, but at the same time, his confidence in a peaceful resolution to the incident grew stronger.

"Honey, fighting is bad. It will hurt you and others, so please don't fight, okay?"

"But... it's dangerous..."

"I know that older sister is very angry and strong-willed. But someone has already tried to persuade her. Although I don't know what happened, I hope you can make up."

"I hate... her..."

Chiyou lowered his head and said with a hint of grievance.

How should I put it? It always feels like a little pet?

Welt covered his face, trying to correct this absurd illusion.

"But you can't make friends by fighting."

"Friend, good. Her, bad."

"Then I'll figure something out. You wait here for me, okay?"

"Good."

Chiyou nodded and remained squatting there, motionless.

Ninti stood up, patted her chest in relief, then looked up at Welt with a blank expression and gave him a thumbs up.

What else could Welt do?

The dark image created by historical records and the terrifying aura of Honkai Energy has now been completely shattered.

Welt even drifted off into thinking that if Ninti had appeared during the Second Great Honkai, would the Herrscher of the Void and the Demon Dragon Benales have been tamed just as easily?

Welt smiled and calmly returned a thumbs-up.

'No wonder he's Joyce's son, awesome! (voice cracks)'

Chapter Ninety-Six: Ji Lin, I'll Be With You

Chiyou, with his naive and innocent nature, could be easily persuaded. But Ji Lin, burdened with heavy responsibilities, was naturally not so easily persuaded.

"Sword Opening Style: Mountain Collapse!"

Facing Ji Lin, who was shrouded in black mist, the blonde girl gripped her sword with both hands. Her petite and agile figure spun three times in the air before delivering a powerful and unstoppable slash.

"Boom!"

Ji Lin held his sword in one hand to block, but under the immense pressure of the pressure, he couldn't help but take a step back.

Fu Hua and Durandal appeared on either side of Ji Lin, each holding one of her hands. Then Fu Hua said in a deep voice:

"Ji Lin, calm down, you're in a dangerous state right now!"

"Crimson Kite, why are you stopping me? We must eliminate Chiyou now! It is my duty!"

"Listen, we have a better way! You don't need to shoulder all the problems yourself. Calm down and stay rational!"

"Ah!!!"

Ji Lin unleashed a surge of Honkai Energy, first blasting Fu Hua and Durandal away, then black flames surged from the black Xuanyuan Sword, instantly exploding into a black sun.

"Anqi!"

Amid Fu Hua's worried shouts, Anqi landed heavily, her longsword plunging into the ground. She slid backward uncontrollably for a long distance before the impact dissipated.

Then she casually cut off the still-burning ends of her hair and replied to Fu Hua:

"Master, I'm fine. But Ancestor Ji Lin can't stop. What do we do now?"

This is the third time the attempt to stop them has failed.

Fu Hua didn't want to hurt anyone, Durandal also felt that such a hero who was wholeheartedly protecting the people shouldn't be an enemy, so they were both holding back, which naturally made it difficult to control the powerful Ji Lin.

"Buy me some time! I'm trying to wake her up!"

Fu Hua knew she couldn't delay any longer, because although she and Durandal could hold on, she wasn't sure how long Ji Lin could endure the effects of the Honkai.

Having made up her mind, Fu Hua raised her right hand, put her left hand behind her back, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.

'Hey, this isn't looking good, is it? Could we give ourselves away?'

'Don't panic, we're also masters of manipulating minds; we're not so easily seen through!'

Anqi felt a surge of nervousness, exchanged a glance with Durandal, and then charged towards Ji Lin, who was approaching with his sword drawn.

"Durandal, this is my first time working with an S-rank. We students were originally just here to experience high-level missions and gain experience, but I never expected to be fighting side by side with you. In short, my skills are still lacking, so please give me your guidance!"

"You're too kind. Your performance was excellent, and I heard you've only been enrolled for less than six months, right? With your talent and hard work, you'll be an S-class student sooner or later. Let's keep up the good work!"

The two exchanged a brief exchange, then one gripped a sword and the other a spear, together pushing Ji Lin, who was charging at them, back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sounds of clashing swords and sparks rang out one after another, and with each explosive aftershock spreading, the surrounding ground was continuously destroyed.

Just as Durandal said, Anqi's speed, strength and swordsmanship did not hold her back at all, and she played an effective role in restraining Ji Lin.

While keeping Ji Lin occupied, Durandal felt a pang of regret.

'If this child had been trained by headquarters, he'd probably be an S-rank by now, right? However, learning Fu Hua's swordsmanship isn't a waste of time; his future is promising!'

Durandal's lips curled into a slight smile, but she quickly suppressed her admiration and focused her attention. She concentrated her immense strength on the gun, repeatedly suppressing Ji Lin's attempts to break through, and she remained completely at ease.

At the same time, Fu Hua opened his eyes in the spiritual realm.

This is a dark, desolate, and empty world, where only Ji Lin, dressed in red and wearing a golden crown, stands amidst a sea of blood filled with swords and blades, struggling incessantly amidst the entanglement of dark energy.

Fu Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that a clear consciousness can be directly seen indicates that the situation of depravity is not yet that serious, and the possibility of salvation is still very high.
