The Invincible Bronya Has Fallen! (4K)

The Wind Element arrow pierced straight through the massive Honkai Beast, gouging a deep furrow into the ground as it did so.

Killed Tank-class Honkai Beast, obtained 50 Primogems

Primogem limit reached, automatically converting to Crystals

Obtained 0.5% Honkai Energy Adaptation

"Damn, I'm exhausted." After confirming its death, Chen Luo let out a breath and leaned directly against Raiden Mei beside him.

For Chen Luo as he was now, that attack had counted as an ultimate move.

The Invincible Bronya Has Fallen! (4K)

"Ahhh! Why do I have to suffer like this?!" Sitting in the little cart meant for transporting small goods and feeling the bumpy road beneath her, Kiana cried out in despair.

"Come on, it's already good enough that I didn't just give you a skateboard." Chen Luo said as he drove up ahead.

Chen Luo did not have a driver's license, but that was not a problem, because he was driving a go-kart.

Super Kart (Two-star Vehicle): A specially modified go-kart. Its seating capacity has been increased from one to two. Simple and easy to operate, with plenty of power.

No matter what, this was still a Type II item he had drawn from the talent panel, and it was extremely practical.

The only problem was that it only had two seats.

So the extra person could only tie a rope to the back of the vehicle and hitch something that could move quickly behind it.

Like a skateboard, or a small cart for hauling luggage.

"Why aren't we taking a car?" Kiana was still wailing.

"Do you know how to drive?" Chen Luo asked.

"No..." Kiana shut her mouth.

Chen Luo did know how to drive, since he could master any item. But since he was not the one suffering, why not try out the go-kart?

"But why did it have to be me suffering?" Kiana was still unhappy.

"The point is, you're the one who wanted to go to the TV station." Chen Luo stressed.

"..." Kiana was instantly rendered speechless.

This little cart was not too bad. It was certainly bumpy, but at least it was fast.

Crouching in the cart, Kiana looked small, helpless, and pitiful.

"Kiana, jump off!" Chen Luo suddenly shouted from the driver's seat ahead.

"Huh?"

"Jump off, now."

"Okay, okay." Though she had no idea why, Kiana still trusted Chen Luo.

Kiana quickly picked out a trash pile full of tied-up black bags and jumped toward it.

It might be a little dirty, but trash piles made fairly soft landing spots.

Unless, of course, you were unlucky enough to hit a knife.

The instant Kiana jumped away from the cart, Chen Luo immediately made the Super Kart drift.

Then, with a violent explosion, the cart behind the go-kart was struck by a cannon shell and instantly blown to pieces.

If Kiana had not jumped off, she might have been the one blown to pieces.

Chen Luo casually pulled out his two-star Barrett and fired a shot in the direction the cannon fire had come from.

With Firearms Mastery, Chen Luo's marksmanship was no joke.

"Get out!" After putting away the Barrett, Chen Luo and Raiden Mei flipped out of the vehicle. Chen Luo then drew his Elf Bow.

He had realized that the enemy's firing position did not seem very far away, so at this range, the Elf Bow, which could fire multiple shots at once, was the better choice.

"Which bastard attacked us?" Completely uninjured, Kiana grabbed her shotgun and stepped out.

"Idiot, how dare you come out? Get back into hiding." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Kiana.

"Get behind me." Chen Luo also pulled Raiden Mei behind him.

"Whoosh!" Amid the sound of air tearing apart, two menacing shells hurtled toward them. Chen Luo drew his bow and released three arrows in an instant.

Not only did they detonate the two shells directly in midair, but the third arrow also curved through the air and flew toward the direction the shells had come from.

Today, he would show them what a turning arrow looked like.

Of course, its technical name was a tracking arrow.

The Basic Spell Compendium Yun Lian'er had given him really contained everything. It truly was a compendium.

That included some basic magic archers needed to learn.

With Furniture Mastery, Chen Luo could now compare to an elf hunter who had trained for decades.

His other hardware was just a bit lacking.

But that was no big deal.

The tracking arrow flew up toward a skyscraper ahead, then caused a small explosion somewhere beyond Chen Luo's sight.

A shadow leaped down from atop the building and crashed heavily onto the ground.

It was a girl with a massive, strange mech floating behind her.

Her pale gray curls and matching eyes, along with the spiral twin-tails tied beside her ears, made her look adorable. But the mech behind her made it clear that she was not someone to be trifled with.

"Biological reactions detected. Number: three. Beginning Honkai signature scan."

"Scan complete. Honkai signatures detected. Recovery target A confirmed. Executing countermeasure protocol. Beginning recovery operation."

"What is going on? Why is such a young girl with that strange mech?" Raiden Mei asked, tightening her grip on her sword.

"Obviously, judging by that mechanical way of speaking, we can basically conclude that this is some kind of biological weapon. In short, she's being controlled by someone else." Chen Luo said, a spear appearing in his hand.

It was a pitch-black spear, yet it somehow carried an odd sense of holiness. Its blade was white, but its tip bore a faint, eerie streak of red.

Demon-Slaying Sacred Spear

"A biological weapon..." Raiden Mei murmured.

But while Raiden Mei was distracted, the biological weapon Chen Luo had mentioned did not pause. The huge, bizarre robot clenched its fist and smashed it toward them.

Chen Luo met the blow with his spear. After canceling out the force, he immediately retreated with Raiden Mei behind him.

"A-Luo, be careful not to hurt that girl. If possible, please save her..."

Perhaps because of what she had experienced lately, Raiden Mei had become especially sensitive.

She had gained a good friend who had pulled her out of misery. What about everyone else?

"Don't worry, I'll do my best. Kiana, aim carefully later. Don't shoot me. Use your pistol, not the shotgun."

Even without Mei saying so, Chen Luo would not kill her. Besides, whether he could beat her was still up in the air.

"Target resisting. Requesting removal of armament restrictions... Approved. Heavy Cannon Rabbit entering combat mode."

"In response to the resistance of the three of you, Bronya will issue a final ultimatum. If you cease armed resistance against Bronya, your safety will be guaranteed." Bronya looked expressionlessly at Chen Luo, Raiden Mei, and Kiana.

"Put down our weapons and surrender? I have a lot of weapons. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle them all." Chen Luo held his spear in an attacking stance.

The Unsheathed Sword was meant for Raiden Mei's self-defense.

And when it came to things like Militants that could be dealt with through long-range sniping, Chen Luo had never bothered using melee weapons.

But that did not mean his close-combat abilities were poor.

If nothing else, the Demon-Slaying Sacred Spear felt incredibly good in his hands.

"Wait a moment, Bronya. I want to know why you attacked us. What exactly is your purpose?" Raiden Mei tugged on Chen Luo's sleeve before asking.

"Bronya merely follows orders." Bronya replied coldly.

"Whose orders?"

"You have no right to know. You only need to surrender now."

"A girl your age should not be turned into a tool for fighting. There must be some reason, right? I want to know what you yourself think." Looking at the girl who seemed to be controlled by a system, Raiden Mei could not help but think of many things.

Perhaps because of Raiden Mei's natural affinity, this biological weapon was actually willing to speak with her.

Of course, Bronya also wanted to resolve this without bloodshed.

"Bronya does not understand what you are saying. Please do not interfere with the system's normal operation. Put down your weapons and surrender immediately."

"The system's normal operation... What kind of person would do something so excessive?" Hearing Bronya's words, Raiden Mei became even more certain that she was being controlled.

A biological weapon...

"I do know a little about this. Kiana, you only know about Schicksal, but do you know Anti-Entropy?" Chen Luo asked while remaining in a standoff with Bronya.

"Anti-Entropy? What's that?"

"An organization that fights the Honkai with principles completely different from Schicksal's. Schicksal uses Valkyries, while Anti-Entropy uses mechs. Compared with Schicksal, Anti-Entropy clearly values life more. They want to use mechs in place of Valkyries on the battlefield, reducing needless casualties." Chen Luo explained.

"Reducing needless casualties... Could Anti-Entropy's mechs be biological mechs made from girls this young?" Raiden Mei's face showed anger.

"No, no. The mechs I mean are the sort made of steel that appear in anime and manga, not biological weapons like this. Anti-Entropy has conservatives and radicals too. Biological weapons like this are obviously the work of the radicals."

"Then what do we do now?" Raiden Mei could not help asking.

"For now, we knock her down first. Biological weapons like this usually have some kind of controller on them. We just need to pull it out."

As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, he suddenly rushed forward, catching Bronya, Raiden Mei, and Kiana off guard.

Wielding his spear, Chen Luo closed in and began fighting Bronya at close range.

The Heavy Cannon Rabbit behind Bronya had both melee and ranged modes, but in such close quarters, firing shells would undoubtedly blow up both its owner and the enemy.

Thus, caught unprepared, Heavy Cannon Rabbit could only use melee mode to withstand Chen Luo's storm-like assault.

Chen Luo's spear moved incredibly fast. And besides the spear, countless wind blades appeared around him, attacking Bronya irregularly along with his advance.

Under such high-frequency attacks, Heavy Cannon Rabbit had trouble defending.

However, Bronya herself was also a legend in the assassin world. With her coordinated attacks and defense alongside Heavy Cannon Rabbit, she perfectly blocked Chen Luo's assault and gradually began regaining the advantage.

Chen Luo's Demon-Slaying Sacred Spear was a top-tier three-star weapon. It could break magic and suppress negative energies, but unfortunately, Heavy Cannon Rabbit feared neither.

Heavy Cannon Rabbit's defense was also astonishing. If judged by rank, it might even be a four-star weapon.

Its ability to absorb Honkai energy and convert it into shells was equally intimidating.

The battle between Chen Luo and Bronya was so fast that Raiden Mei and Kiana could not interfere at all.

A gale howled, and a tornado gradually formed at the center of Chen Luo and Bronya's battle. It spun faster and faster, until both of them began having difficulty breathing.

Protected by Wind Element Power, Chen Luo could naturally provide himself with a stable supply of oxygen, but Bronya did not have that privilege.

As the battle became increasingly intense, Bronya's breathing slowly grew ragged.

Breathing amid a raging gale was truly difficult.

"Whoosh!" Bronya tossed several grenades at her own feet. Based on their blast radius, they would completely encompass both Bronya and Chen Luo.

But after Bronya threw the grenades, Heavy Cannon Rabbit rapidly assembled itself into a giant shield in front of her.

Thus, a world where only Chen Luo got hurt was created.

It was somewhat risky, but if she did not break the deadlock quickly, Bronya would definitely lose as her body became increasingly deprived of oxygen.

Seeing the grenades, Chen Luo was wary of Bronya's decisiveness. He kicked Heavy Cannon Rabbit, borrowing the rebound force to fly swiftly out of the tornado.

Boom!

A violent explosion erupted. Surging flames directly blasted apart the forming tornado, and protected by the wind wall before him, Chen Luo safely landed beside Kiana and Raiden Mei.

"A-Luo, are you all right?" Raiden Mei immediately came over and felt Chen Luo's body.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. All right, stop touching me."

"It's good that you're fine. What about that girl?" Raiden Mei looked toward the direction blanketed in dust.
