Chapter 149

"Huh? What... what's going on?"

A sixth sense triggered Shen Gonglin to immediately flip and jump away. Because he couldn't see, he missed a step and fell to the ground. Immediately afterward, he heard the sound of shattering glass. The white spear in the Honkai Beast's hand pierced through the glass and attacked the infirmary. A fierce gust of wind swept through, blowing everything in the infirmary out through the cracks destroyed by the Honkai Beast. How could it attack a place like this, especially when he was all alone? This was really going to be a big mess.

Normally, Shen Gonglin wouldn't have paid any attention to such a thing, but now he couldn't see or hear it. Shen Gonglin had no idea what the situation was like, let alone what the enemy was. He could only guess the situation based on his imagination. It should be an enemy, and it was right in front of him!

A slight stinging pain ran down his cheek, probably from the cut caused by the broken glass. He hadn't felt it before, but now Shen Gonglin felt a sharp pain in his face. Legend has it that some people can observe the world through their inner eye even if they can't see, but Shen Gonglin didn't have that ability. No matter how smart he was, there were limits, let alone something that couldn't be done with his brain. Right now, he could only trust his sense of touch, but with the medical pod broken and the wind howling around, there was nothing he could do with his sense of touch.

The Honkai Beast didn't care about Shen Gonglin's state; it was born for destruction. Drawn by the gathered Honkai energy, its first reaction upon seeing Shen Gonglin was to attack. Its white spear thrust straight at Shen Gonglin, but Shen Gonglin, who hadn't mastered Mind's Eye, reacted a beat too late. She couldn't even hear the spear whistling through the air; the only thing that made Shen Gonglin react was the slight stinging sensation on her skin. A sharp pain shot through Shen Gonglin had barely moved when she was stabbed in the shoulder. Whether it was Ultra Instinct or Observation Haki, it would have worked... Was she going to die at the hands of this thing?

Blood dripped down, Shen Gonglin, without thinking, rolled away again. But this couldn't go on forever. Who knew when Mei, Bronya, and the others would return Theresa and the others must have found out about the attack on the infirmary, but whether she could hold out until they arrived was still uncertain. No, she couldn't just sit and wait to die. Even if she couldn't see, she had to find a way.

With a thought in mind, white light shone on Shen Gonglin. As the light faded, a pair of huge wings spread out from Shen Gonglin's back. Angel Mode, activated!

The Honkai Beast's attack pierced towards Shen Gonglin once again, but as the white spear approached, it was blocked by a colorful light barrier. The Absolute Defense Circle was activated, Shen Gonglin finally knew the enemy's direction. Although playing with bombs in a house was a bit inappropriate, Theresa would probably understand. After all, if they didn't take action soon, they could eat their own food.

"Permanent Air-to-Air Missile, fire!"

Reaching out and grabbing the Honkai Beast's white spear, Shen Gonglin pinpointed Honkai Beast location. Countless missiles burst forth from its enormous white wings, instantly killing the Honkai Beast at close range. However, the resulting gust of wind also affected Shen Gonglin. While he remained within the absolute defense perimeter and escaped secondary damage, the lack of walls and glass at that altitude of ten thousand meters meant that Shen Gonglin ... was swept away.

With no foothold under her feet, Shen Gonglin instantly understood her predicament. However, her fear of heights did not flare up this time. After all, she couldn't see or hear anything, and she couldn't even see her current height, so what was there to be afraid of? As for the feeling of weightlessness, that was tolerable.

The enormous wings kept Shen Gonglin suspended in the air. This didn't mean she had broken her vow to Bronya. If she continued to stay in the infirmary, she would definitely be punished. So even if Bronya knew, she would understand her actions. But now... what should she do?

With his wings spread, Shen Gonglin flew in the air, somewhat at a loss. He rested his chin on his hand and thought seriously for a moment. Since he was alright now, he should go find a place with a higher concentration of Honkai energy so that he would have a chance to recover.

Chapter 84 Shen Gonglin is missing!

All around were signs of Honkai. Shen Gonglin calmed her mind and carefully sensed the surroundings. She was looking for the largest one. Being unable to see or hear it didn't Honkai energy Shen Gonglin Shen Gonglin Honkai energy, and it was divided into four cores. Not bad. Near that Honkai energy reaction, she could definitely refine that Honkai energy into energy that could be fed back to her.

For the first time since acquiring this angel armor, Shen Gonglin was flying freely in the sky. Even his fear of heights didn't bother him anymore. Normally, if he were flying, Shen Gonglin would definitely look down and be scared to death, but now even if he wanted to look down, he couldn't. Laughable, he couldn't see anything at all. So, Shen Gonglin controlled the huge wings and flew forward, stumbling along. Anyway, he was using the Absolute Protection Shield, so he wasn't afraid of crashing into anything. Honkai energy source, here I come!

What's going on here?

Shortly after Shen Gonglin flew away, Bronya and Mei rushed back. They had obviously heard the loud noise of the Helios's cabin being damaged. Concerned for Shen Gonglin's safety, they quickly dealt with the enemy attack at the engine and rushed over. However, when they opened the door, they were met with a violent gust of wind. The entire infirmary had been destroyed and disappeared. As for Shen Gonglin, she was nowhere to be found. Where had she gone?

"It's all Bronya's fault. If Bronya hadn't left without permission, things wouldn't be like this now."

Bronya clenched her small hands into fists. How could she have agreed to separate from Shen Gonglin? And this happened right after they separated. Now Shen Gonglin couldn't even be found. What should she do? No, she had to go find Shen Gonglin. He must be alright.

Looking down at the sky, Bronya took a deep breath and prepared to jump. Mei quickly grabbed the little girl who was about to do something foolish. Would she be able to find Shen Gonglin if she jumped down like this? Mei was still somewhat rational. She didn't believe that Shen Gonglin would disappear so easily. He must have a way.

"Bronya, don't panic. Have you forgotten who Shen Gonglin is? No matter how dangerous the situation, he can always find a way to solve it. Have you forgotten that he also has Angel Mode? Even if he can't see or hear, he's definitely not in any danger. Our most urgent task now is to report to the Headmaster and activate Helios' satellite to search for Shen Gonglin's whereabouts. That way we will definitely be able to find him."

Kiana is gone, Shen Gonglin is missing, and Bronya is clearly panicking. So Mei has to stay calm. With responsibility on her shoulders, Mei forced herself to calm down. As soon as she calmed down, all sorts of possibilities appeared in Mei's mind. Mei now clearly understands what she should and shouldn't do. She can't panic at a time like this.

"Yes, Mei is right. Bronya acted impulsively. Thank you Mei. We'll go find the headmistress now."

Finally, she calmed down. Bronya is usually the clearest-headed person, but she got a little anxious when it came to Mei Shen Gonglin. Mei's comforting words helped her regain her usual reliability. There was no use in being anxious now. Using satellites would definitely help them find Shen Gonglin's trail.

The two jogged to the command room. The Honkai Beast's attack on the infirmary had thrown the entire Helios into chaos. Theresa had barely managed to stabilize the Helios, and the shaking had caused her to fall under the table. When Mei and Bronya saw her, Theresa looked disheveled. As the commander, she was the last to know what had happened, which showed how inadequate the Helios's equipment was. If it were the Hyperion, this wouldn't have happened.

At least the situation where the medical room is hanging outside the outermost layer of the cabin will not occur!

"What? What did you two say? Shen Gonglin is missing? What happened? Didn't I just tell him and Bronya to stay in the infirmary? Why did this happen there?"

Ignoring the dust on her head, Theresa's eyes widened upon hearing the news about Shen Gonglin. It turned out that the explosion and shaking earlier were caused by Honkai Beast attacking the medical room, and that unlucky guy Shen Gonglin happened to be in the medical room and was now missing. Why did all the bad luck happen to him... Wait a minute, could it be that he deliberately killed himself this time?

"That's how it is, Headmaster. Could you use the Helios's satellites to check on Shen Gonglin's location? We're also worried about Teacher Himeko on the deck. Is she alright?"

Unexpectedly, there were so many obstacles when they broke into the Schicksal Headquarters. However, the most urgent task is to find Shen Gonglin as soon as possible. Even in his normal state, he is already a great worry, let alone in his current state. Leaving Shen Gonglin alone outside every minute is torture for them. Once they find him, they must tie him to their side with a rope!

"Wait a minute, Helios's satellite was temporarily interrupted due to the impact just now, but it's coming back online. Seriously, Helios, hold on for me, the headmaster! Why hasn't the backup arrived yet? Is that guy planning to wait until the last minute to arrive?"

Theresa's small hands tapped rapidly on the main control panel in front of her, and finally, in a fit of exasperation, she slammed her hand on the keyboard. The Helios's hull was damaged, affecting many of its functions. Not only was Shen Gonglin's condition unclear, but they didn't even know what was happening to Himeko on deck. Communication was also cut off. Was it really because this intrusion plan was too hasty...?

But who knew that the invasion plan would be Honkai Beast!

[Ms. Theresa, it seems you're in some trouble. Do you need any help?]

Just as Theresa was anxious and at a loss, a calm but sleepy voice rang out. Although the voice sounded unreliable, Theresa's eyes widened in surprise. It had finally arrived.

"Doctor, have you arrived yet?"

Theresa hurriedly returned the call and sat in front of the computer waiting for a response. Finally, their most powerful reinforcements had arrived.

[How many minutes until arrival? What's wrong, Ms. Theresa? Do you really need help?]

"Of course, first bring me your satellite, I'll find someone."

Chapter 85 She Can Withstand It

"Judgment-class Dragon-Type Honkai Beast... No, the Helios is no match for this level of Honkai Beast. We have to find a way to lure it away."

In the azure sky, the Moon Wheel Armor, trailing a fiery tail, carried Fu Hua through the air. As she drew nearer, she saw Belenaus standing on the deck of the Helios, and at the same time, she saw the red figure fighting Belenaus. The combat skills honed through countless battles allowed Himeko to hold her own against Belenaus for a short time, but Fu Hua knew very well that even if Himeko could withstand the Helios, she couldn't. If it crashed here... that would be absolutely unacceptable.

Even though she is now considered a traitor, Fu Hua still doesn't want the people of St. Freya to suffer any harm. So what she needs to do now is to lure away and defeat this Honkai Beast. With the help of this armor, it won't be difficult to do this.

Having made her decision, Fu Hua charged straight at Belenaus. This Honkai Beast was a familiar of the Second Herrscher, and its presence here proved that Otto's plan was indeed underway. Was her decision really the right one? Her past convictions now seemed somewhat fragile. This choice was not accepted by anyone, at least not now. Neither Shen Gonglin nor anyone from St. Freya wanted it.

Since they are unwilling, is it right for me to insist?

The question kept echoing in her mind. Fu Hua took a deep breath and temporarily put the thought aside. She increased the reaction of the Honkai Furnace behind her, and the speed of the Moon Wheel Armor increased once again. Fu Hua flew in front of Belenaus and attracted its attention. Good, that's it. Follow me. Get away from the Helios first, and then I'll take care of it!

"Is this... Theresa's reinforcements?"

As Belenaus left Helios's deck, Himeko breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up and watched Belenaus chase after the light into the distance. She couldn't tell who the tiny point of light was, but whoever it was, it had saved her from a difficult situation. The balance of the battle had shifted, and she was no match for that dragon.

Why did it move again? It's so hard to find a place with a strong Honkai energy reaction. I feel like there's another place with a strong Honkai energy reaction in the distance, but this thing up close looks very tempting... Oh well, I'll just keep looking for Honkai energy nearby. Please, just don't run away.

Sensing the Honkai energy shifting, Shen Gonglin sighed helplessly and could only change direction to continue flying. It was fortunate she was in Angel Armor mode; otherwise, she wouldn't even have this much mobility. With her wings flapping, Shen Gonglin moved towards the direction of the Honkai energy. Thus, Fu Hua lured the Honkai Beast away, while the Honkai Beast chased Fu Hua, and Shen Gonglin chased the Honkai Beast. The two of them and the beast gradually moved away from the battlefield. Feeling the distance was right, Fu Hua stopped. She turned to look at the pursuing Honkai Beast; it was time to deal with it!

"There are four Honkai energy reactions, which means there are four cores... It seems we need to break the outer shell of the heart first. Durandal, have the Valkyrie on standby prepare to provide fire support. As for the cores, I'll handle them!"

Golden light began to shimmer on the originally dark purple armor, Fu Hua's gauntlets on the back of her hands lit up, revealing her true form. She couldn't use Feather Dust, and she would definitely regret it if she forgot the memories she didn't want to forget. However, she still had another Divine Key that she could use, the Grip of the Great Void. With her current armor, dealing with this Honkai Beast would definitely not be a problem!

[Received. Inform the entire army. The location of the Judgment-class Honkai Beast has been confirmed. All Valkyrie, deploy immediately to assist Shadow Knight: Luna in eliminating the target. We must fulfill our mission at all costs and fight for the future of humanity!]

Durandal's voice came through the earpiece. At this moment, she was in charge of commanding the entire Valkyrie force to fight against the Honkai Beast. The other Honkai Beast were not a problem. The main problem was this Judgment-class demonic dragon. Durandal was in charge of the entire army, and Fu Hua had now found Belenaus's location, so she was needed to provide fire support. The demonic dragon had to be repelled here.

"Get ready... wait a minute! Stop the barrage and let me handle this alone."

Taking a deep breath in preparation for battle, Fu Hua was shocked to see a small white figure suddenly appear behind the demonic dragon. She recognized the figure immediately. How could Shen Gonglin be here? How dare he fly over at this height... Shouldn't he be quietly staying on the Helios? The reason she lured away this Judgment-class Honkai Beast was because she was afraid it would affect Shen Gonglin's safety. Why did this guy come here?

[Fu Hua, this is not the time to be reckless. With the support of overwhelming firepower, you can resolve this as quickly as possible. You don't need to make this choice for some inexplicable chivalrous spirit.]

Durandal's voice came through the headphones. She was now in charge of commanding all the Valkyrie. Durandal didn't want any accidents to happen. Focusing fire was the key, and there was no need to do anything else.

"Speaking of chivalry, Durandal, you care about this more than anyone else. In short, leave this to me alone."

Fu Hua stared intently at the Judgment-class Honkai Beast, or rather, at Rin Shen Gonglin. Rin had landed on Belenaus's back, but for some reason, the Honkai Beast wasn't reacting. Was it because its attention was entirely on her? She couldn't attack directly now; she had to rescue Shen Gonglin first. It seemed Shen Gonglin hadn't recovered yet. How could she let him join the battle like this? What were Theresa and Mei up to? Wouldn't they take care of Shen Gonglin if she wasn't there?

It really is best to let the professionals handle this.

Give me a reason.

Durandal's voice was crisp and clear; she wouldn't agree unless Fu Hua had a legitimate reason to persuade her.

"...I see Shen Gonglin. If we fire now, he'll be within range."

Fu Hua explained the reason, and she knew that Durandal would definitely accept it.

[Notify the entire army to temporarily cease fire support. Simultaneously, order all Valkyrie to move away from B47 airspace and prohibit any fire threats to B47 airspace.]

[Eh, but Durandal, without fire support, Shadow Knight: Moonlit Blade...]

It's okay, she can handle it.

Chapter 86 A Sweet Burden

As expected, just as Fu Hua had thought, Durandal made the right decision immediately after learning about the situation. However, this feeling... After listening to Durandal's words in the earphone, Fu Hua's lips twitched. This woman is really genuine. Should she thank her for trusting her so much and believing that she can handle it? Durandal, how come she never noticed this side of her before?

"That's settled then, Shadow Knight: Moonlit, join the battle."

He had no time to complain to Durandal anymore because he was afraid of hurting Shen Gonglin, so he wouldn't be providing any support. There would be some pressure, but not too much. He would deal with the Judgment-class Honkai Beast after rescuing Shen Gonglin. Why did he participate in the battle like this? Just to cause trouble?

Fu Hua prepared to hold back the Honkai Beast and find an opportunity to rescue Shen Gonglin. However, Shen Gonglin unaware of her current predicament, or rather, she had no idea that Fu Hua was nearby. With her wings folded, Shen Gonglin grabbed onto the dragon's armor plates and stood unsteadily on its back. This was the place where the Honkai energy reaction was most intense. She could definitely convert a lot of Honkai energy in this area, which would give her hope of recovery.

Activating the Great Void Sword Qi, Shen Gonglin absorbed the Honkai energy from the Honkai Beast into her own body, converting it into pure energy. A cool sensation filled her head, finally relieving the burning pain caused by the overload, like water dripping into parched land. Not bad, not bad, not bad at all. It seems she was right; this Great Void Sword Qi Honkai energy indeed be used to restore her brain. Her brain damage is finally... ugh, not brain damage, but brain injury. Her brain injury is finally curable. Her vision, hearing, and taste will definitely recover as well. To be honest, Shen Gonglin had had enough of this state. So many cute girls, and she couldn't see or touch them. How could she tolerate this?

"Watch me inhale... Hey, what's going on? Don't move, let me inhale a little longer..."

Finally noticing Shen Gonglin's movement, Belenaus turned its head and saw Shen Gonglin on its back. As an incarnation of Honkai, it had no affection for humans, but it didn't feel any malice towards Shen Gonglin either. It felt as if this person possessed the aura of a queen. So Belenaus simply wanted to shake her off. Shen Gonglin was only focused on refining Honkai energy, and Belenaus's shake caused her to fall over. The feeling of weightlessness... if it were still sight, it would definitely be kneeling, but Shen Gonglin, without seeing, wasn't afraid at all!

With her wings outstretched, Shen Gonglin, still in Angel Mode, was about to take flight when she felt herself crash into a hard embrace. Fu Hua saw her fall and quickly flew over. She hadn't expected that Shen Gonglin would still have some control over her. In her mind, Shen Gonglin wouldn't be of any use in the air. Who would have thought that he could save himself? Had he grown in ways she didn't know about?

Actually, Shen Gonglin just doesn't see it, so she doesn't back down.

"Ouch... that hurts! Who is it?"

He rammed his head into the chest of the Moon Wheel Armor. Although the armor's coverage was greatly reduced for close combat, the chest plate still made Shen Gonglin's forehead ache. His head wasn't made of dough, but it wasn't made of iron either. This impact made him dizzy. It felt just like hitting Fu Hua's chest; it hurt just as much.

Pain? It must be because of this armor. If it weren't for this armor, Shen Gonglin definitely wouldn't have cried out in pain. With such a large cushion, it wouldn't hurt!

Knowing Shen Gonglin's current predicament, Fu Hua wasn't worried about him recognizing her. Holding Shen Gonglin under her arm, Fu Hua forced herself to focus on the Honkai Beast in front of her. Belenaus finally noticed Fu Hua. Unlike his attitude towards Shen Gonglin, the Dragon-Type Honkai Beast entered battle mode the moment it saw Fu Hua. Purple covered its white armor, and purple lightning crackled as its dragon wings flapped. This Judgment-class Honkai Beast ... If there had been Valkyrie support, it would have been manageable, but now Durandal knew Shen Gonglin was here and would absolutely not order her to fire. In other words, everything from now on depended entirely on her.

And she also has Shen Gonglin, who's a burden... No, not a burden, if I had to say, it would be... a sweet burden?

The adjective suddenly popped into her mind, Fu Hua suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Even though she knew that Shen Gonglin could not see her right now, she couldn't help but feel shy. With a thought, Fu Hua's pretty face was immediately covered by her mask. Spending too much time with Shen Gonglin had given her this habit. Being distracted on the battlefield was something she shouldn't have done.

"You stay here for now and don't move around. I'll be right back... Can you fly?"

Facing the Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Fu Hua dared not be careless. Although she was confident enough, she still wanted to put Shen Gonglin in a safe place first. But then she found that Shen Gonglin had hugged her waist and refused to let go. Fu Hua couldn't help but try to reason with him, but he went even further. Not only did he refuse to let go, but he also deactivated his Angel Mode.

"Waaaaah... Miss unknown, please help me! Please take me with you! I'll give you money after this is over. Just go to St. Freya and find someone named Raiden Mei. Please, please don't let go!"

With pre-existing brain damage, and having only summoned Angel Mode as an emergency measure, Jingu Rin was already startled when Beibeilong threw her off his back, and then hit her head on a metal plate. Shen Gonglin's mind is currently very unstable, and she accidentally exited Angel Mode. Knowing her current height, even though she can't see, Shen Gonglin is starting to panic. And in this panic, she can no longer rely on any lifeline she has. Now, the only thing she can depend on is this Valkyrie, whose identity she doesn't know.

Shen Gonglin didn't expect that the person she was holding was the Class President, since she didn't think the Class President could fly.

Looking for Mei? Why is he looking for her? Shouldn't he be looking for me? Everyone knows that I am Shen Gonglin's guardian. How come he's saying he's looking for Mei? I've only been gone a short time. How can he do this?

Chapter 87 The Feeling of Class President

Fu Hua was seething with anger, but what could she do? She couldn't just throw Shen Gonglin down there. Even if she was angry, he probably wouldn't know, so there was no point in getting angry now. Fu Hua could only take a deep breath and suppress her emotions. This Shen Gonglin was too real. He had so easily forgotten about her. Putting aside the issue of guardianship, he didn't even recognize her right next to him. Even if he couldn't see her or hear her voice, he shouldn't be like this.

After spending so much time with myself, can't I recognize myself from other aspects?

It's quite rare for Fu Hua to feel a little resentful. But it's normal to feel resentful, right? It would be strange if she didn't feel anything at all. That guy, Shen Gonglin, really deserves a beating.

Pulling Shen Gonglin behind him, Fu Hua glared at him slightly with her eyes hidden beneath her mask. Shen Gonglin, clinging to her lifeline, not only wrapped her arms around her neck but also locked Fu Hua waist with her legs. This posture... well, it barely doesn't hinder his movements. Fighting Judgment-class Honkai Beast with such a burden is just a slight challenge for him.

The Grip of the Great Void in his hand gleamed faintly. There is no such thing as a peaceful life; it is because your master is bearing the burden for you. Shen Gonglin, you should thank your master in your heart!

Belenaus swooped down towards Fu Hua, and the Valkyrie, wielding two Divine Key, sharpened her eyes and charged back as well. Close combat was exactly what she wanted to experience. This armor suited her perfectly, and almost all of her attacks were close-quarters combat. Even with Shen Gonglin on her back, it didn't hinder her movements. Based on the intelligence from headquarters, this Judgment-class Honkai Beast should have four cores. It clearly didn't have the power of lightning earlier, but after its appearance changed, it gained the ability to control lightning. In other words, was it that purple crystal?

After a few brief exchanges, Fu Hua noticed something amiss. Having experienced so many battles, Fu Hua's combat experience was already incredibly refined. She keenly discovered the core of the Honkai Beast in front of her—a total of four cores, meaning it had four hearts. If she could shatter these four cores, the Honkai Beast wouldn't be directly defeated, but it should temporarily retreat. With the current methods, it was indeed difficult to kill it directly, which meant that temporarily repelling it was the optimal solution!

Having made her decision, Fu Hua continued her battle against the Honkai Beast. Meanwhile, Shen Gonglin, clinging to her back, sensed something amiss. He buried his face in Fu Hua's neck and sniffed gently. His sense of smell was also impaired, so he couldn't identify the girl by scent. However, he was very familiar with the Great Void Sword Qi that emanated from Fu Hua during her fight with the Honkai Beast. This was indeed Great Void Sword Qi; it had Form Resonance feel to it. How could this unknown young lady possess such martial arts? Then her identity... Shen Gonglin began to have doubts. Protected by her armor, he couldn't possibly discern her identity by touch alone, but this Great Void Sword Qi...

The Class President did mention that she had taught this martial art to others, but she also said that no one but herself could perfectly learn and utilize the Great Void Sword Qi. Just by looking at the Great Void Sword Qi Shen Gonglin knew how profound the Great Void Sword Qi was for the girl carrying him. It was almost on par with her own. Therefore, the girl's identity was questionable.

Could it really be the Class President?

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Gonglin released one hand and reached down. The chest was covered by armor, so he couldn't feel it, but there were other places. He had no sense of sight, hearing, smell, or taste, but Shen Gonglin still had his sense of touch. He should be able to tell who this person was by touch. If it was the Class President, he wouldn't have failed to recognize him by touch, since he often haggled and touched people randomly.

Fu Hua's heroic battle against the Judgment-class Honkai Beast was captured by Schicksal's satellites. After all, this was valuable combat data of the fourth-generation Godslayer mech. Durandal, who was in charge of Schicksal's command room, was carefully studying and observing the Moon Wheel Armor's combat with all the Valkyrie on standby. The Valkyrie occasionally exclaimed in amazement. This Moon Wheel Armor, or rather Fu Hua, was truly amazing.

"Lady Fu Hua is so strong! This is Judgment-class Honkai Beast, yet she handles it with such ease. Not only is she fighting it, but she's also subtly gaining the upper hand. And she's carrying someone on her back too! Durandal, did you already know Fu Hua was this strong?"

In the command center, Alvit was very excited watching Fu Hua's heroic figure on the screen. She knew that Fu Hua was very strong. Although she was officially A-rank Valkyrie, her combat power could not be explained by that simple rating. However, Alvit did not expect Fu Hua to be so powerful. Did this prove that the fourth-generation Godslayer mech project was a perfect success? She couldn't wait to see the captain and vice-captain equipped with the fourth-generation Godslayer mech.

"Such a performance is normal. Fu Hua is reliable to begin with, and with Shen Gonglin on her back, she will definitely try harder to show Shen Gonglin. Just like a peacock spreading its tail to show its beauty and strength when seeking a mate, such a performance in the war is also expected."

Unlike the other Valkyrie, Durandal's reaction to Fu Hua was entirely expected. She was certain that if she were to fight alongside Shen Gonglin, she would also be able to unleash even greater power than usual.

"... Is that even a possibility? Is Shen Gonglin some kind of tactical backpack? Shouldn't carrying it hinder combat? How could it improve...? Also, Captain, the peacock behavior you just mentioned is a tactic used by male peacocks to attract female peacocks."

Alvit was utterly baffled. What kind of argument was this? Why did the captain look so certain, as if it were some kind of ordinary theorem? Why couldn't she understand it at all? Was it because she was too stupid and outdated?

Alvit was completely baffled, and at the same time, she couldn't help but correct Durandal, saying that such a description was really strange.

"Um?"

Durandal glanced at her, Alvit immediately lowered her head like a quail. "Yes, yes, you're right. I was wrong. I admit defeat."
