Searching for Seele! / Not Everyone Riding a White Horse Is a Prince!

"Roar."

Just then, a Knight-class Honkai Beast and several Assault-class Honkai Beasts surrounded the two. Kevin immediately stepped in front of May to shield her from the Assault-class Honkai Beast's attack...

"Whoosh..."

Just then, a flash of purple lightning streaked across the sky, Assault-class Honkai Beast was cleaved in two.

Then the purple lightning returned and eventually came back into Ling Xi's hand. As for this lightning... it was naturally the Dawnbreaker, which was imbued with the familiar lightning.

"Raikiri!"

Then, Ling Xi charged forward again, finishing off the Knight-class Honkai Beast with a single strike, and instantly slaying the remaining Assault-class Honkai Beast as well.

Ling Xi's sudden appearance surprised and delighted the two who were still in shock. They were surprised that Ling Xi possessed such power, and naturally delighted that they were saved.

"Brother Ling Xi..."

Looking at Ling Xi, Kevin seemed unable to believe his eyes. Was this really the Ling Xi who had once called him brother? This... was too unbelievable.

"Ling Xi, thank you..."

Mei was also very surprised, but she knew that there were people with special powers in this world, so although she was a little surprised by Ling Xi's appearance, she quickly returned to normal.

Besides, I've already seen the Honkai Beast, so what's there to be surprised about?

"Phew... Kevin, May, have you... seen Seele?"

Looking at the two of them, Ling Xi, though slightly out of breath, didn't say a word of nonsense and went straight to asking about Seele's whereabouts.

Chapter 133: Searching for Seele's Whereabouts!

"Seele?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment, not realizing who Seele was.

"That's my girlfriend."

Ling Xi didn't want to explain too much, so she answered by saying that she was his girlfriend. After all, both of them had met Seele. Kevin had mistakenly thought that Seele was his girlfriend, while Mei had seen Seele admit it with her own eyes.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to take Mei away and didn't notice."

Kevin looked guilty, feeling ashamed that he couldn't be of any help.

"Sorry, I didn't see it either."

Mei shook her head slightly, after all, everyone was busy escaping for their lives, who would pay attention to the others?

"It doesn't matter."

Although this answer disappointed Ling Xi didn't make things difficult for the two of them. She said to them, "Go to the Southwest Airport immediately. Dr. Mobius is there preparing for the evacuation."

"Southwest Airport... I understand,"

The two exchanged a glance, both indicating they understood, while Ling Xi turned around without lingering and continued on her way to school!

After about three more minutes, Ling Xi finally arrived at the Senba Academy. There were quite a few Honkai Beast here, Knight-class and Assault-class Honkai Beast, totaling several dozen. And... there was also a Ballista-class Beast that was destroying the teaching building.

"Seele!"

Ling Xi called out "Seele" loudly, but... there was no response...

Uh... no, it seems we did get a response, a response from the Honkai Beast.

"Roar."

Instantly, several Honkai Beast surged towards Ling Xi!

"Hmph, die!"

At this moment, Ling Xi could no longer care about hiding her power. She activated Aslaug and unleashed a flame at the onrushing Honkai Beast.

One minute later...

The Honkai Beast at the school gate and on the playground were completely wiped out.

Immediately, countless students and some teachers poured out of the school, fleeing the place, while Ling Xi kept calling out Seele's name and searching for her in the crowd.

But... Seele was nowhere to be found.

"Seele!"

"Seele?"

"Seele!!!"

Afterwards, Ling Xi went to Seele's teaching building, dormitory, bakery, and old haunts, but found no trace of Seele.

He took out his phone to call Seele, but couldn't get through. Aside from being blocked, the surrounding infrastructure was completely destroyed, the power system was essentially paralyzed, and the surrounding cell towers were also mostly out of service. So...

My phone has almost no signal. I guess... most places in the city are like this now.

"Hateful..."

Unable to find Seele, Ling Xi was extremely anxious. It was all her fault. If... if she had forced her way into Seele's dormitory yesterday and tricked her into taking Seele away, then... none of this would have happened today.

But it's too late now, Seele... where are you?

Of course, Ling Xi would not give up searching for Seele so easily. If she couldn't find her at school, she would search outside, calling out as she went. No matter what, she had to find her.

Furthermore, it's entirely possible that Seele had already escaped from the school when the Honkai erupted, so there's still a chance of finding her.

So, Ling Xi began asking Seele about her surroundings while searching and killing Honkai Beast, making as much noise as possible, and constantly calling Seele's name, hoping to attract Honkai Beast, but...

Honkai Beast are just cannon fodder!

Ling Xi searched for several hours, her voice becoming hoarse and her Stigmata energy almost completely depleted, but... she still couldn't find the girl she cared about.

Meanwhile, the rescue plan devised by Mobius played a significant role. The Flame-Chasing Moths army entered the city to fight against the Honkai Beast and rescue survivors, but...

In the face of the army's artillery fire, only cannon fodder like the Assault-class Honkai Beast would be afraid. Knight-class and Ballista-class Honkai Beast are not afraid of so-called artillery fire at all. Even if a giant cannon with a caliber of 150 mm were to be fired, it could only barely hurt the Knight-class Honkai Beast. As for the Chariot-class and above Honkai Beast, it would be almost completely useless.

Furthermore, Honkai Beast frequently sprang out of the vortex out of nowhere, causing heavy casualties in the army, and then...

They... left, um, left...

"Beep beep... buzz buzz buzz..."

Around 1 p. m., Ling Xi arrived at a high-rise building, intending to observe the surrounding environment before continuing her search for Seele, when... her phone suddenly rang.

"Is there a signal?"

Ling Xi quickly took out her phone and found it was a call from Mobius.

"Finally connected!"

As soon as the call connected, Mobius immediately asked, "Ling Xi, where are you now? Why aren't you back yet?"

"I'm sorry, Doctor, I'm still near the Qianyu Academy, I..."

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then said, "We haven't found Seele yet."

Meanwhile, Mobius, who was on the phone, also fell silent. Although reason told her that she should immediately reprimand Ling Xi and order Ling Xi to leave, she just couldn't bring herself to speak, considering Ling Xi's attitude towards Seele.

"Ling Xi, Elysia is about three kilometers east of you. She's in trouble right now. Can you help her out?"

Mobius didn't inquire about Seele's situation, but instead sent Ling Xi directly to support Elysia.

"Elysia?"

Ling Xi was a little confused and asked, "Didn't she evacuate to the airport with you? How come she's in the city?"

"Um... After I got to the airport, I waited for you for a long time, but you didn't come back, and I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so Elysia said she would go find you, and I..."

Mobius said quietly, "I thought Elysia would be fine, so I didn't stop her. I even asked her to keep an eye on Mei, so she also came to the vicinity of the Senba Academy. However... there is a high intensity Honkai Energy reaction in the target area, and it is suspected that Temple-class Honkai Beast has appeared. Elysia has lost contact with us now, and she may be in trouble."

Ling Xi: "..." Trouble?

I'm completely numb, okay? Elysia, Fairy, you're not a Fused Warrior yet!

I admit you were strong after becoming Fused Warrior, and perhaps you are still strong now, but...

Can you please stop causing trouble?!

Temple-class Honkai Beast —that's something only top-tier B-rank Valkyrie can contend with. It's the strongest Honkai Beast below the Honkai Emperor, and yet you...

"I see!"

Reluctantly, Ling Xi had to temporarily suspend her search for Seele and go to support Elysia, after all...

Although Seele hasn't been found, if we don't go to support Elysia now, Elysia might be gone too. And if Elysia is gone, I'll definitely feel extremely regretful and guilty. Besides... one of humanity's strongest Fused Warrior is gone too!

Chapter 134: The one riding a white horse isn't necessarily a prince!

"This intelligence... something's not right..."

At the crossroads, the once bustling street has become a battlefield, and facing the Honkai Beast that keep attacking from all sides, Elysia is starting to feel overwhelmed.

Although I am indeed a combatant, I am not the kind used for direct combat. Damn it, Mobius, I came here to find Ling Xi, but... he insisted on looking for Mebius.

Now we're trapped.

Moreover, communication was completely unusable, so requesting help was impossible. Besides, even if we could request help, who would come to our aid?

"Hooray."

With a roar, the Temple-class Honkai Beast raised its lance and thrust it directly at Elysia.

"Hateful..."

Elysia immediately tried to dodge, but...

My body hurts so much...

"Raikiri!"

"Bang!"

With a flash of purple, the lance of the Temple-class Honkai Beast was knocked down, and Ling Xi landed in front of Elysia, picked her up lazily, and fled the battlefield without looking back.

After all, he didn't have much energy left, and if he continued to waste it, he would only end up dying with Elysia...

"Wow, I knew it! I'll have my Prince Charming."

Seeing that she was finally saved, and that it was Ling Xi who had saved her, Elysia couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't be silly, riding a white horse doesn't necessarily mean you're a prince, it could also mean you're Tang Sanzang!"

Ling Xi's face darkened. Did this girl not know how dangerous she had just been? How could she still laugh?

"Tang Sanzang? Who's that?"

However, Ling Xi's words also made Elysia a little curious. Who was Tang Seng? Why didn't she know him?

"I'll explain later. Let's leave here first."

Ling Xi had no interest in telling Elysia the story of Journey to the West right now; she wanted to leave this dangerous place first.

"Where's Seele? Haven't you found her?"

Elysia also asked a question that she was particularly concerned about: Seele.

Because she also saw that Ling Xi came to rescue her alone, and the first thing she did after rescuing her was to leave, so... she probably didn't find Seele.

"Um..."

Ling Xi couldn't help but sigh, saying with some regret, "If only we had left fifteen minutes earlier this morning."

Elysia remained silent, which was... truly frustrating.

Ling Xi quickly brought Elysia to a safe area, and Ling Xi asked with concern, "Are you able to walk?"

"Cannot."

Elysia seemed to have guessed Ling Xi's thoughts and said, "You should take me back to the temporary base. After all, there might be more Honkai Beast appearing ahead."

"I..."

Actually, Ling Xi really wanted to refuse, because all he wanted to do now was to get Elysia to a safe place and then go back to continue searching for Seele.
