Chapter 129
Without a doubt, now is almost the best time.
Although it's unclear why these Knight-class Honkai Beasts were all chasing after Kallen, the important thing is that their rear was completely undefended. Their rear was their weak point.
This has now exposed a weakness in our defenses.
If we don't attack now, when will we?
"Do you even need to tell me this?" Himeko naturally knew there was no better time than now! If not now, when?
Himeko swiftly grabbed the hilt of her greatsword with a backhand motion...
Then he grabbed at nothing.
"Huh?!"
Himeko stood there, stunned. One second the sword was right beside her, and she was holding it; the next second, it was only a second away, and she had lost her grip?!
Himeko turned her head blankly to look at the spot where she had just stuck the sword; apart from a crack, nothing else was there.
Where... where is my sword?
That's a huge handful?
It's right here!
Her sword!
"Woo-la-la-la~"
With a strange cry, a pink-haired creature dragged Himeko's heavy sword and charged towards the group of Knight-class Honkai Beast.
Rosaliya!
She's not some timid, cowardly little girl! She was genuinely frightened just now; those Honkai Beasts had stirred up memories she least wanted to recall.
But the Honkai Beast reminded Rosaliya of the promise she had made to herself.
She wanted to become stronger! Stronger! Even stronger!
She wanted immense power to protect her younger sister!
I want to protect my family!
I want to protect everything I want to protect!
I want to protect my mom!
Mother!
She refused to shrink back like she used to, to hide under someone else's wing and accept their protection. She knew she was different now!
She gained power!
She can protect others too; she can protect her younger sister and her mother!
She's not afraid at all!
"Hurrah! Hurrah! Woo-la-la-la-la-la!"
Without a second thought, Rosaliya rushed forward and snatched the greatsword from Himeko's hand. She didn't want to act like she used to! She wanted to protect her mother!
Rosaliya didn't know what timing was, nor did she know what weakness was.
She knew she absolutely couldn't stand idly by!
I can't watch Mom fight this battle alone!
She will fight! Fight!
Rosaliya, consumed by the desire to fight, lacked any real combat skills. She simply charged in and recklessly attacked, using basic slashes, side attacks, and cleaves. Even when she wielded her greatsword like a cleaver, it was more like smashing it with a brick.
Himeko was completely dumbfounded.
That girl actually managed to catch up? Catch the charging Knight-class Honkai Beast? That girl's greatsword skills are pretty good... right?
Perhaps.
Greatswords do have their uses, Rosaliya was completely unaware of. However, this chaotic hacking and slashing, in a sense, perfectly embodied the highest level of greatsword wielding.
A heavy sword has no edge; it simplifies complexity and uses force to overcome technique!
The essence of using the greatsword can be summed up in one word: 'reckless'. Defense? Technique? Skill? Those are all secondary! Don't overthink it, just charge in!
If you can't cut it, it's because you're not strong enough!
Even if it misses your sword, the gust of wind from its swing can still knock you unconscious.
Rosaliya's indiscriminate hacking caused considerable chaos to the charging formation of the Knight-class Honkai Beast. These Knight-class Honkai Beast had learned both the strengths and weaknesses of knights.
Horses cannot charge indefinitely. At the same time, charging too close loses its element of surprise, and charging too far will exhaust the horse before it reaches the front line.
The same applies to Knight-class Honkai Beast, although their mounts are not horses.
However, it is not possible to charge at full speed; there is a charging-up process after each charge.
They all had to carefully judge the distance and timing of their charge.
When the Knight-class Honkai Beast turned its horse around and continued charging towards Kallen, its speed actually slowed down, and it launched the charge again after closing the distance close enough.
Their lack of attention to Rosaliya gave Rosaliya the perfect opportunity to break into the formation.
Rosaliya's thoughtless actions caused considerable chaos among the Knight-class Honkai Beast.
A knight's combat effectiveness is greatly reduced once he loses his mobility.
More importantly, Rosaliya's meddling caused confusion among the Knight-class Honkai Beast. They were unsure whether to continue pursuing the target with the highest aggro or to deal with this less important target that had caused them considerable trouble.
"Hey?"
Kallen, who was fleeing and temporarily unable to deal with the Knight-class Honkai Beast, quickly noticed the unusual movements of the group behind her. Although she wasn't quite sure what was going on.
But she knew her time had come!
"Death Sign Nova!"
What truly rendered cavalry obsolete? Armored vehicles. But what we often say made nomadic peoples so skilled in singing and dancing? Machine guns!
The powerful firepower wove a deadly net of fire, and through physical means, the nomadic people became known for their singing, dancing, and hospitality.
The Death Nova will also teach the Knight-class Honkai Beast what it means to be 'singing and dancing' and what it means to be 'hospitable'.
This thing is a gun emplacement, which fell from the sky.
|, []
Even if there's only one, its firepower density is not low!
Da da da da~
In an instant, a visible net of fire was unleashed.
Knight-class Honkai Beast that crashed into the fire net were swept away in swathes, like wheat being harvested.
"Wow! That move was amazing!" Kiana excitedly, tugging at her father's sleeve as she watched the powerful attack. "Daddy! Daddy! That!"
"I want to learn! Teach me!"
Well, as the eldest daughter of the Kaslana family, there's no reason she couldn't learn the Kaslana family's combat techniques.
As the current patriarch of the Kaslana family, there's no reason why my father wouldn't do it!
"Sweetie~" Siegfried gently stroked Kiana's head and said, "Even your dad doesn't know how."
Yes, I don't know how to do that either! You can't teach me, but I want to learn too.
God knows how amazing Kallen was back then.
Kallen had prepared the Dark Nova long ago, but she couldn't find the right moment to unleash it. While in the game it's as simple as pressing a button, in reality it's not that easy.
Although this is something that can be thrown out and then ignored, she still needs time to put it away.
Rosaliya's actions temporarily disrupted the formation of the Knight-class Honkai Beast, halting their offensive.
This gave Kallen the opportunity to use her Nova Spell.
Once this thing is unleashed, these not-so-strong Honkai Beast can barely withstand one or two hits.
The thing that could only exist for five minutes wiped out all the Knight-class Honkai Beast in that limited time, leaving only Rosaliya trembling with fear while clutching her greatsword.
"Waaaaah~" That's the expression Rosaliya.
QAQ
Wow... that's incredible!!! This is on a completely different level!
Of course they're not on the same level. Even if Kallen's aptitude isn't high and she can't unleash her full combat power, defeating these ordinary Honkai Beast is still like cutting melons and vegetables.
Moreover, these Knight-class Honkai Beasts are all low-level Honkai Beast that haven't been enhanced much.
After one round, there were hardly any Honkai Beast left standing on the entire battlefield.
But... Kallen's attention was fixed on the newly appearing cloud of dust in the distance.
Here we go again...
Won't...
Should we leave it like this?
Chapter 156 This Hatred
One wave subsides only for another to rise.
We just finished this wave and haven't even had a chance to rest, and the next wave is already on its way.
The formation was equally impressive, but they didn't arrive as quickly as the previous wave.
How many Honkai Beasts are there? Why are they coming so frequently?
Kallen feels that the baby is very tired and wants to rest. Can you let me catch my breath?
Cannot!
The Honkai Beast showed no intention of giving Kallen a chance to breathe; their next attack hadn't even begun. A puff of smoke appeared, followed by countless tiny bright spots shooting across the sky.
"That... it looks like... an arrow!!!"
Kallen's face immediately fell.
It's an arrow!
It wasn't an endless barrage of arrows, but they were all flaming arrows thrown towards her. From any angle, it seemed as if all the arrows would ultimately strike her.
"Dou Lei Lou Mou!"
Kallen wanted to swear and couldn't hold back.
There is no doubt that I was being targeted.
Although there is no obvious coordination between Honkai Beast, when their numbers increase, they will achieve a non-tacit but actually existing coordination.
Honkai Beast don't just blindly charge in; they choose appropriate tactics and combat distances based on their own strengths.
With a large quantity and a wide variety, there will always be one or two that can work well with you.
This cooperation model has been achieved.
The fire archers behind them were throwing fire rings, not caring whether they would burn their teammates to death. All they cared about was killing their enemies, and the Honkai Beast in front didn't care if they themselves were burned to death.
Anyway, let's gamble on whether the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle. What if we end up killing each other?
Anyway, trying won't make me pregnant.
In this situation...
Kallen chooses...
"Let's go~ Look what I'm going to do!" Kallen turned and ran without hesitation.
"Huh? Should we retreat?" The Redhead, who had finally caught his breath, couldn't understand why they should retreat when that Valkyrie was so powerful. Even if you had maxed out your aggro, you could have just kept the rest in line and let everyone else deal damage.
"The great tree-cutter once said, 'Fight if you can win, run if you can't.'" Kallen said loudly without blushing at all, "Strategic retreat is not shameful."
"This doesn't seem to be what the tree-chopping man said, does it?" Redhead retorted.
