After the explanation, Shigure Kira suddenly understood, and then she was shocked.
"I never imagined that soaking in this world could actually materialize a person's two personalities into tangible entities."
"It seems that the secrets hidden in this world are more numerous than we imagined."
The two Seeles nodded.
"Let's go! There's no point in saying more. Since Xingyue is willing to give us a chance, let's go and explore this world bubble!"
Hei Xi spoke up and stepped forward to lead the way for the two behind him.
“Xi’er is right,” Bai Xi followed.
"Forehead!"
Shiyu Qiluo was still very puzzled.
"Is that Honkai Beast really as powerful as you all say?"
Upon hearing this, both Seele turned around and glanced at Qiluo with sympathetic eyes, then sighed.
This only confused Shigure Kira even more.
What exactly happened in the main world? Why are the younger Valkyries all acting so strangely?
With these questions in mind, Shigure Kira still followed the group.
On the other side, Bella was walking along the avenue when she suddenly stopped.
Sensing Bella's unusual movement, Xingyue looked around.
A group of miscellaneous monsters, also known as the Shadows of Fear of Light, gathered from all around.
"Tsk tsk tsk! If Bella fights, it might affect the comfort of carrying her on my back!"
The next moment, Peng's deep-sea-colored eyes emitted a dazzling blue light.
bang~
Without any warning, the group of small monsters instantly exploded and died, scattering large, tiny fragments on the ground before disappearing completely.
Xingyue snorted coldly, then pressed her face against Bella's soft back again.
Her back was firm yet flexible, making it an ideal place to rest. A cool, pleasant scent wafted into her nostrils from time to time. To be honest, it would be a waste for Xilin not to enjoy it; she was actually benefiting herself.
hey-hey!
Just as the monster exploded, a girl who had been observing from a dark corner covered her gaping mouth in surprise.
"No way, isn't that a bit exaggerated? Just a glare can have that much power?"
"I wonder if, with the power that Sa gave me, I can get through the process under her control."
"Or I'll go find another team!"
The girl crouched down, deep in thought, her purplish-red eyes blinking slightly, a hint of hesitation in her expression.
After an unknown amount of time, Bella carried Hailu around the Salt Snow Holy City countless times, but still couldn't find a single open inn.
“Stop~”
A cold shout came from behind, and Benares stopped in his tracks.
"Oh dear! How could this happen?"
Just then, a cry for help came from ahead, and a white mannequin-like creature wearing a cloak was seen wielding a scythe at a gray-haired girl.
The girl was wearing an Egyptian-style dress, and her running movements were very rhythmic. She was not flustered by being chased, and there was not even a trace of fear on her face, only a little panic.
This guy's acting is obviously subpar; he's both bad at it and loves to play around.
Xingyue glanced lazily at the girl running ahead and decided to play along with her act.
In the blink of an eye, the person on Benares's back disappeared, and when they looked again, they were already behind the runaway girl.
She seemingly slowly extended one index finger and flicked it lightly.
The monster model flew backward at the speed of an arrow, crashed into a thick wall with a loud bang, and lay on the ground, motionless.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"He defeated the Sage's messenger with just one finger."
As the girl excitedly cheered for her "savior," she unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The girl's subtle movements certainly did not escape Xingyue's eyes.
She smiled slightly, but didn't expose him.
"Oh dear! I saved your life, and you didn't even say thank you?"
"Uh~"
The girl's face showed a moment of surprise, then she clapped her hands and smiled apologetically.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my benefactor. My name is Vita."
"Look at me, I was so happy to see such a pretty girl that I forgot all about her."
"Oh? So you like me a lot?"
"Of course, who wouldn't like such a beautiful girl?"
Vita laughed, but her sixth sense told her something was off.
At this moment, a cunning glint flashed in Xingyue's eyes.
She stepped closer to Vita and forcefully lifted her chin.
"Tell me, when a hero saves a damsel in distress, how should the damsel reciprocate?"
Chapter 139: Black Seele Arrives
Vita flicked her feather ring, unleashing countless feathered arrows.
Seele rolled backward, barely dodging the attack. Her feathers pierced the ground like exploding grenades, leaving craters in the earth.
Before Seele could catch her breath, a blade flashed straight for her throat.
Seele raised her scythe and held it horizontally in front of her to desperately defend herself. Sparks flew as they collided. Seele's feet kept moving backward, but she still couldn't withstand the powerful force. Her feet went light and she flew backward, crashing into two walls before finally regaining her balance.
"Seele, if this is all you're capable of, you'd better leave now! And never come back, or I'll kill you!"
Vita landed lightly, crossing her arms with complete ease, as if she had been completely stress-free just moments before.
Mouth Peng? Mouth Peng?
Vita only sensed something flying rapidly behind her. She turned her head slightly and saw bullets fly past her, embedding themselves in the ground and leaving two bullet holes.
"Have you forgotten about me? What difference would it make if I were included?"
Shigure Kira, carrying two guns, walked up to Vita from directly behind and pointed the guns at her head.
"not so good?"
Vita shrugged.
“I’ve already heard that you were just an A-rank Valkyrie of Destiny before. Even now, after a long time, you’ve only barely reached the threshold of S-rank. You could never be my match.”
"And me and me."
Susana also stepped forward.
"Although I am only a B-rank Valkyrie, I still want to do my part."
amount……
The three of them looked at Susana in silence.
Vita was afraid that she might lose control and accidentally kill Susana, which would be difficult to explain.
As for Seele and Shigure Kira, they had no idea what to say. Were they supposed to say that Susana was a burden? Not only did they have to fight, but they also had to protect this drag on?
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Susana stared blankly at the speechless looks from her two teammates, wondering what she had done wrong again.
"A mere B-rank Valkyrie wants to get involved in our battle? I think your companions are afraid you won't even know how you died."
After Vita finished speaking, she brandished her feather rings and engaged the two in battle, leaving only a devastated Susana standing there.
555555555, I'm so useless, I can't do anything, and I'm just dragging everyone down.
Susana covered her face and ran to a pile of ruins, dejected and blaming herself for her incompetence.
She paused for a while, then listened to the clanging sounds of weapons clashing in the distance and felt the gusts of wind created by the occasional aftershocks. Suddenly, she realized that there was still something she could do.
If they can make contact with Earth, or find another Seele, perhaps there is still hope of winning.
Susana, Susana, you must pull yourself together and do what you can.
Without hesitation, Susana jogged off to do what she could, making sure she didn't hold anyone back.
On the other side, Vita fought off the two men and glanced at Susana, who was quietly leaving, out of the corner of her eye.
"It seems your companions are quite self-aware! They didn't interfere in our battle."
"Susana is very strong; she must have gone to do what she can."
Seele affirmed, then raised her dagger and aimed it at Vita.
"If I join forces with Senior Shigure Kira, we have a chance to win."
"Oh! You didn't think that was my full strength just now, did you?"
Vita chuckled softly.
"Ready? It's time to get serious!"
Vita's eyes flashed, and she unleashed several times more arrows than before, simultaneously covering both of them. Then, she appeared behind them with incredible speed.
The two of them did their best to deal with the incoming feathers, and with Vita's speed suddenly increasing, they didn't have time to turn around. They could only watch helplessly as Vita kicked Shigure Kira away, and then threw out a dense barrage of feather arrows towards the ruins where Shigure Kira had fallen.
"Senior Shigure Kira!"
Seele finally broke free from Vita's attack and ran quickly towards the ruins. There she saw a gray-blue-haired woman lying there, covered in wounds. Her clothes were torn to shreds, and she looked extremely disheveled. Only her heaving chest proved that she was still alive.
"Seele, it's up to you. You have to hold on until the others arrive, or, ugh! Just thinking about that woman makes me uncomfortable. Anyway, hold on until that wretched Honkai Beast of yours arrives. You're one of hers, she can't just abandon you."
"Although I don't know what Vita did, she's definitely not a good person. Until we find out the truth, you must hold on. I'm counting on you, Valkyrie of Destiny, Seele."
Shi Yu Qi Luo gave Xi Er a thumbs up, forcing a weak smile on her tired face. The next moment, her head lolled to the side and she fainted.
Seele raised the dagger at Vita again, but this time her arm was trembling.
She's all alone now. When was the last time she encountered something like this?
Before she met Bronya and Starmoon, everyone liked to bully her. She was lonely, helpless, and afraid.
Back then, at least she had another self to encourage her, but now, she truly has to rely on herself alone.
Can she really do it? No, she definitely can.
Before, she either relied on another version of herself or on Bronya, but now it's finally time for her to rely on herself.
Seele's face was full of determination, and although her arms were still trembling, she showed no sign of backing down.
“Good will, Seele.”
Vita stepped forward with ease.
"However, it is of no use in the face of an absolute difference in strength."
Vita pushed off with her feet and appeared to Seele's right. She hurled a feather ring, and Seele was once again unable to withstand the force and flew out. Seele gritted her teeth and endured the stinging pain from the impact of the rubble on her back. She kicked off the wall and landed on the ground.
Then she was greeted by a shower of feathers.
Seele struggled to maintain her spinning scythe, creating a barrier to block the feathered arrows. Before she could completely block them, she caught a glimpse of Vita reappearing behind her out of the corner of her eye.
"It's over, Seele."
Vita lifted the feather ring.
"Yes! It's over, your life is over, So."
Suddenly, the ground beneath Vita's feet turned into a black swamp, and clumps of tentacles enveloped her.
Vita quickly jumped away from her spot, only to be met with a pair of enormous black claws.
