Chapter 88
"You..."
Laguna was indeed taken aback for a moment.
Since K422 has actual experience in stopping Emperor-class Honkai Beast, there is indeed no need to worry about an Emperor Honkai.
After all, the Emperor Honkai is merely a barrier between lower-level Honkai Beast and higher-level Honkai Beast.
Honkai Beast that cannot overcome this barrier are ultimately just lower-level ones, while K422 is able to fight against Emperor-class Honkai Beast, so she naturally possesses the power of a current A-rank Valkyrie.
She might already possess the strength of A-rank Valkyrie from the Second Eruption War.
That's definitely better than her.
"However, after watching your match videos, all you do is bombard people with insults."
"If I were to get serious, I could kill someone, Laguna. All the Stands that participated in that martial arts tournament were B-rank Valkyrie... How could I possibly take them seriously?"
"Kiana, everything is ready. The Honkai Beast is expected to rush out of the forest in ten minutes."
"Okay, I understand. I'll be in position right away. I'll pass the word down. If you're scared, just leave with the evacuating troops. Sister Liv, are you going to wait here for me to go back together, or do you want to go back to Rita first?"
"Of course, we'll wait here for Kiana's triumphant return."
"Then you have to be careful. Stand with Laguna. I'm counting on you for Liv."
"Well, I wish you good luck in your military campaign." Laguna still couldn't hide the worry on his face.
Even if K422 has absolute confidence, she can't guarantee that she won't accidentally miss a couple of small fry.
What are mere fry to her are dangerous to ordinary people.
Lewis's team and the Assault Team chose to stay behind, and K422 was naturally not worried about their safety. The Propaganda Department personnel boarded the evacuation vehicle after setting up the equipment.
Anyway, the current equipment can be remotely controlled. They just need to go to the site to set up the camera equipment. Of course, this would have been if it weren't for the appearance of the Emperor Honkai.
The Propaganda Department dared to directly film on the battlefield with cameras.
Wearing a snow coat, K422 slowly walked to the low slope, from where they could see the movements in the woods ahead.
She slowly closed her eyes, listening to the approaching footsteps.
The footsteps were chaotic, numerous, and heavy.
This is a horde of beasts, a horde of Honkai Beast, and the Honkai Beast leading this horde is even an Emperor Honkai.
She planted the Black Abyss White Flower and the Dawn Glory in the snow, feeling the tremors growing ever closer.
"Mom, just stay here and watch Freya's first battle."
K422 spoke softly to the Black Abyss White Flower.
She didn't know if Cecilia could hear her now, but she had no intention of using the Black Abyss White Flower as a weapon. Just as she said, Dawn Glory was more than enough.
The tremors grew closer, and a Honkai Beast charged out of the forest, followed closely by a large horde of Honkai Beast.
The roars and howls announced their arrival.
Fear it! Be afraid!
The Emperor Honkai, standing amidst the Honkai Beast, possesses a massive size and floats in the air with an unknown power, surrounded by numerous ice crystals.
Judging from its appearance, it should be an Ice Emperor.
Yes, she's very familiar with it.
After all, she killed a lot of Ice Boars, and in the icy environment, she basically had a setup of one Ice Boar with three Ice Emperors.
She laughed, placed her hand on her snow coat, and then pulled hard.
"Let me finish you all off quickly!!"
Blood Knight Moonbeam has arrived!
94. Wherever they went, all sound was lost.
No one expected that such a brightly colored combat uniform would be hidden under the snow coat.
The Valkyrie instinctively discovered the true nature of the combat suit: it was a Valkyrie Armor, and its performance far surpassed that of any existing Valkyrie Armor.
K422, having taken off its snow coat, grabbed the Dawn Glory sticking out of the snow.
"—Armor- Armor Piercing Flame Spear!"
K422 infused a large amount of Honkai Energy into Dawn Glory, using the device inside to convert Honkai Energy into Power of Flame, creating a large number of flame-formed spears around her.
"Volley!!"
The Flame Spear hovering around him traced a curved trajectory in the air before landing on the Honkai Beast that had burst out of the forest.
Each time the Flame Spear lands on the ground, it triggers a violent explosion. The terrifying heat scorches the Honkai Beast's hide. The Flame Spear, which is known as the Armor Piercer, is the advanced version she used in the Martial Arts Tournament.
Even the sturdy shell of Tank-class Honkai Beast couldn't withstand the penetration of the Flame Spear.
The Armor Piercing Flame Spear that penetrates the Honkai Beast will still trigger an explosion, and the flames from the explosion will continue to burn the surrounding Honkai Beast.
The terrifying firepower relentlessly bombarded the Honkai Beast that charged out of the forest, and even the roaring Emperor Honkai was suppressed by this terrifying firepower and unable to advance.
There are at least a thousand Honkai Beast have broken out of the forest this time.
This number is certainly not something that can be dealt with by one or two volleys of Armor Piercing Flame Spear.
K422 injected even more Honkai Energy into Dawn Glory, and the device that continuously converted Honkai Energy into Power of Flame quickly reached its limit.
Only then did she stop inputting Honkai Energy.
Although she usually tears apart the Emperor Honkai, throws Ice Pigs around like road rollers, and beats up the Dawn and Night Twins, she is more adept at manipulating Honkai Energy.
K422 can convert Honkai Energy into Ice power without any medium.
Despite nearly crashing, Dawn Glory managed to convert the massive amount of Honkai Energy she injected into Power of Flame.
"—Emperor Flame Emperor!"
K422 softly uttered the name of the move.
The ground beneath the Honkai Beast instantly turned crimson, and even the ice and snow far from the area bombarded by the Flame Spears vaporized in an instant.
Boom!!
Then a pillar of fire, tens of meters in diameter, shot out of the ground and into the sky—
A surging heatwave slapped against everyone's faces.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned.
What kind of terrifying power is this?!
The thousands of Honkai Beast remained resilient despite the bombardment of the Flame Spears, but under the towering pillar of fire, almost all of them were wiped out.
After the Flame Pillar disappeared, only one Emperor Honkai and a small number of massive Honkai Beast remained alive.
However, one could already sense fear emanating from them.
Honkai Beast have emotions, but driven by their Honkai Consciousness, their mission is to eliminate humanity.
"It seems that the Void power will not be needed this time."
The death of Honkai Beast does not mean that Honkai Energy will disappear.
Just like after K422-1 died, the Honkai Energy emanating from its remains hasn't been completely cleared away. Otto even sealed off that area, prohibiting anyone from approaching.
K422 smiled and raised her left Dawn Glory, which she hadn't grasped in her hand, the warmth emanating from her making her oblivious to the biting wind blowing across the snow.
The Blood Knight on his body also glowed red.
The genes of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Pvanty within the body are in an activated state.
"—Zero Absolute Zero!"
The Honkai Energy on the scorching ground hundreds of meters away also fell under her control, and even the Honkai Energy inside the dead Honkai Beast was converted into Ice power.
After the terrifying high temperatures comes the frightening absolute zero.
Even the Ice Emperor was frozen from the inside out.
Snap!
K422 snapped his fingers sharply with his raised left hand.
The next moment, the frozen Emperor Honkai and Honkai Beast exploded into countless Ice Crystal Dust.
The shimmering Ice Crystal Dust, like diamond stardust, possesses a beauty that captivates all eyes.
But no one can appreciate that fatal beauty.
"If he's still alive, I reckon I'll have to use the Imaginary Hand."
K422 muttered to himself, "Although the battle is over, the filming isn't."
If it weren't for filming, she wouldn't have needed to shout out those move names.
However, for the sake of the performance, she naturally doesn't mind putting some effort into the lines.
Amidst the diamond dust, she ran her left hand through her now longer hair, the same color as Cecilia's that pleased her.
"... I wonder if my mother will be able to see my first battle."
K422 frowned soon after. She had been posing for a while, but hadn't seen the signal to end the recording.
He simply stuck Dawn Glory into the snow, then carefully pulled the Black Abyss White Flower from the ground, meticulously wiped away the stains, and then dragged Dawn Glory back.
But wherever they went, all sound was lost.
Laguna's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
"Holy crap, what kind of hellish power is that?!"
"Don't ask me, I want to know too..." Welt replied to Siegfried irritably.
In fact, even he was shocked by the terrifying firepower.
"It was not the Divine Key but the Dawn Glory that allowed him to unleash such terrifying Power of Flame."
During the attack on the Schicksal Headquarters, the Anti-Entropy organization acquired a batch of weapons, including a Dawn Glory.
Raiden Ryoma discovered that this lance enhances its close-combat power by converting Power of Flame Honkai Energy into flame power.
But who could have imagined that the opponent would use Dawn Glory as a staff, using only the device to convert the Power of Flame they possess Honkai Energy terrifying firepower?
The final Ice power shocked him even more.
This was before the other party used the new version of Holy Blood that he truly cared about.
"... It's hard to imagine what kind of power the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment would have if it were in the hands of the other party."
Judging from the Ice power the opponent unleashed, they are completely unafraid of the side effects of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment.
"This is almost on par with the unrestricted power of the dual-gun mode's Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment. No, it's possible that the attack from that Flame Pillar was comparable in power to the Greatsword mode. Perhaps only Heavenly Fire Draw can defeat it..."
Needless to say, the Heavenly Fire Draw is a given; how could the mode of fully unleashing the power of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment possibly lose?
Siegfried's answer naturally left Welt helpless.
"Using only ordinary Honkai Energy weapons, she almost achieved the destructive power of Divine Key without unleashing its full potential. Moreover, that Power of Flame was clearly not her forte. The Ice power she displayed later was truly terrifying, almost like Herrscher— "
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't sense any similar aura from the other person, Welt would have thought that the other person was the Artificial Herrscher that Otto had finally completed.
"Herrscher? Indeed, it's quite similar to the Simulated Herrscher created by Sirin during the Second Eruption War."
Siegfried answered affirmatively.
"Siegfried, you should know that the attack just now wasn't even her full strength..."
The way the other party left so easily was almost deeply imprinted in Welt's mind.
It was as if I had only done something as simple as eating and drinking.
Welt hadn't expected that the other person would have changed so much in just six months.
Meanwhile, the members of Schicksal who watched the battle live fell into silence.
At this moment, they realized that the future strongest Valkyrie that Schicksal was promoting was not just a gimmick.
After a long silence, everyone erupted, filled with disbelief.
