She Alone Could Hold Back a Thousand Troops

Emergency recall.

This is a summons issued by the St. Freya Academy only in extremely critical situations.

Aside from missions of extremely high level, all Valkyrie must prioritize responding to the summons and obey orders to return to the St. Freya Academy.

Since the academy's founding, this summons has been merely a formality. St. Freya Academy has always been as peaceful as an ivory tower, with gentle sea breezes and golden sunshine as its main themes.

And today, something happened at the St. Freya Academy, which Satou Yunona considered her second home.

The girl's heart was beating faster and faster, and her heart felt as if it were descending into an ice cellar along with her increasingly low body temperature.

Satou Yunona's expression darkened, and a dangerous killing intent flashed in her eyes.

"Who exactly is it?"

The girl's murmured whispers, for a fleeting moment, overwhelmed the biting wind and snow.

Honkai Energy flowed violently within his body, with large amounts of Honkai Energy being released from the Pseudo-Herrscher Core.

The unease caused the power to Honkai Energy to begin to leak, the sensors in the heart to vibrate slightly, and the armor linked to the bomb data emitted a dangerous red warning light on the right arm.

"Beep beep beep." Just as the alarm was about to enter the second stage, the communicator rang, interrupting Satou Yunona's thoughts.

The communicator connected automatically, and Murata Himeko's voice came through.

"Yuno, calm down."

"At present, the academy has not encountered any large-scale enemies or extremely deadly crises, but some strange Honkai Energy fog has covered the entire artificial island."

"Many students with insufficient Honkai Energy resistance have fallen into a coma, but none are in life-threatening danger so far. However, further complications may still arise."

"We have reason to suspect that this matter is related to the Herrscher."

"The headmistress, who is currently at the center of the incident, has fallen into a coma. I will temporarily relinquish her authority and strip you of fifty percent of your powers."

"Now is not the right time for you to continue training. The Schicksal forces stationed in Siberia will arrive in Oymyakon within two hours to provide support."

"Please eliminate all enemies within this timeframe."

The alarm suddenly went out, and the girl stood up, staring expressionlessly at the Honkai Beast that were coming from all directions across the snowfield.

The Honkai Energy reaction just now was undoubtedly the main reason that attracted them here.

She touched her headset, glanced at the sky as frozen as a lake, and asked:

"Major Himeko, where is Su Qing'an?"

The woman on the other end of the communication fell into an eerie silence, but after a short while, Murata Himeko gave her answer.

"He is the only one seriously injured so far, and he was only recently out of danger."

No one could see the expression on the woman's face as she spoke, but the murderous intent hidden in her words was like molten lava gushing forth beneath the earth's surface—hot and terrifying.

Murata Himeko hates Honkai.

If one day this woman comes to power and influence in the world, everything she holds will undoubtedly become a weapon and a bargaining chip against Honkai.

Until everything is burned to ashes.

"Okay, I understand."

"B-rank Valkyrie, Satou Yunona, has completed her mission."

"Please have the backup, Major, hurry up."

"Faster!"

The girl's soft voice echoed across the vast, empty snowfield, where all things revive beneath the eternal frozen earth, slowly spreading upwards...

On the afternoon of May 6, 2014.

An avalanche struck Oymyakon, in Russia.

The only witness to this scene was the sky high above.

Almost simultaneously.

Kristiansand, Norway.

The Kristiansand Church, which used to be bustling with people, was now completely deserted.

In May, the air in Kristiansand was slightly chilly. With an average temperature of zero degrees Celsius, the girl, wearing a mid-length black trench coat, stood in front of the empty church with her hands in her pockets.

She had a beautiful and delicate face, and at this moment her blue eyes were slightly narrowed, and her soft eyelashes fluttered, shimmering in the sunlight.

Kristiansand Church is located in the central square of the small town, a few minutes' walk from the pier, and is near the city's visitor center and town hall.

It is a landmark of the city and also its tallest building.

The girl didn't spend much time getting here; the area had already been cleared out by the forces of Schicksal.

Clearly, her partner also knew that wasting the immortal's time on trivial matters would be extremely impolite.

The church has a single spire and is constructed of reinforced concrete, indicating that it does not have a long history.

The only thing that catches the eye is the blue-green dome; apart from that, only the towers offering panoramic views of the entire city deserve some praise.

From the perspective of Valkyrie's mission, this is a good thing, because it means that even if the surrounding area is completely destroyed during the battle, it will not cause too much financial loss.

If that's the case, then it would be a perfect mission.

Fu Hua has completed every mission perfectly so far.

At this moment, she was not only calculating the opponent's level based on the regular rhythm of the Honkai Energy inside the church, but also thinking about how to kill the opponent without destroying the building as much as possible.

In battle, one must have a comprehensive understanding of the situation and proceed cautiously step by step.

Be cautious when you need to be, and decisive when you need to use force.

This is a principle that Fu Hua has always adhered to. She is very demanding of herself in every mission. The reason is not only that she does not want to see her partner show her strange face and give people something to talk about, but it is also her own habit.

This time she wasn't teaming up with anyone, so there was no need for her to continue hiding her strength.

Let's finish this quickly; try to complete the battle within half an hour.

This mission is not something that a normal A-rank Valkyrie can easily handle.

A group of smugglers carrying a large quantity of Honkai Energy Crystal arrived in Norway while being pursued by Schicksal. The group appears to be from a strange cult that believes in the consciousness of Honkai as the true god.

The reason the other party stole the Honkai Energy Crystal was to perform a ritual to Honkai the Honkai.

The corpse of a young girl with extremely high Honkai Energy adaptability and resistance was placed in front of the icon in the church by this group of people, Honkai Energy Crystal were crudely and forcibly broken as an offering.

Ultimately, the cult members themselves became sacrifices in their fanaticism.

The Honkai Consciousness favored them in another way.

A brand new monster is now being conceived within the cocoon that has formed inside the church.

Its Honkai Energy fluctuations are no less than those of a normal Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

According to the rules of Schicksal, when facing a suspected Emperor-class being, an A-rank Valkyrie should lead the entire team to conduct initial contact and probe, after which the outside world will also provide some support from a distance.

The girl came alone, without a weapon or a soldier.

It's okay.

She alone can withstand an army of thousands.
