"Now you can get out of this city!"
"Of course!"
Anna was somewhat surprised that a middle-aged man would keep his promise.
Immediately, the middle-aged man stepped off the stage without hesitation and headed out of the city.
As the middle-aged man moved, Rajel and Remiel, who were floating in the air, moved slowly.
Anna gritted her teeth, enduring the pain of Honkai energy erosion, and silently watched the middle-aged man walk away.
As long as those two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts can be removed from the city, then any price will be worth paying.
Anna is a very traditional Valkyrie.
These Valkyries often place great importance on the lives of the people, and are willing to sacrifice themselves to save innocent civilians.
Before the middle-aged man could disappear from Anna's sight, a sword light shot out from the distant horizon and stopped above Coral Square.
"Hi—I'm not late, am I?"
The girl fell from the sky and landed lightly beside Anna.
Seeing the red lines appearing on Anna's skin, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"This is... 'possessed by demons'?"
"What on earth happened? I don't remember Valkyries easily 'falling into demonic possession'?"
The girl frowned and pressed Anna for answers.
Although Anna didn't know what the girl meant by "becoming a demon," she recognized the girl.
—The S-rank Valkyrie "Li Sushang" who appeared out of nowhere recently.
"Lady Li Sushang, those two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts are being controlled by that man. Please take action and kill those two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts!"
"Oh? Controlling a Honkai Beast with a mortal body is quite a peculiar method."
Upon hearing this, Li Sushang looked curiously at the middle-aged man.
After Li Sushang appeared, the middle-aged man realized something was wrong and quickly fled Coral Square.
Instead of chasing after the middle-aged man, Li Sushang extended her index finger and pressed it against Anna's forehead.
"Calm your mind and focus, I will help you suppress 'demonic possession'!"
sound off.
A cool sensation flowed from Li Sushang's fingertips into Anna's brow, greatly reducing the Honkai energy erosion.
After finishing this task, Li Sushang stepped onto her flying sword and charged towards the two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts.
“That man is just an ordinary human. You should be able to handle him easily in your current state, so I’ll leave him to you. I’ll go deal with those two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts!”
Li Sushang's voice echoed softly, but she was nowhere to be seen in Coral Square.
Anna was stunned for a moment, then without further hesitation, she endured the pain of Honkai energy erosion and strode after the middle-aged man in the direction he had fled.
……
The middle-aged man, trying to appear calm, staggered and fled towards the outskirts of the city.
Ever since Li Sushang appeared, he realized that the situation was out of his control.
"Damn it! Why would someone come here to cause trouble?!"
The middle-aged man cursed and ordered Rajel and Remiel to stop Li Sushang.
However, he knew very well that Rajel and Remiel could not defeat Li Sushang, and could not even stop her for long.
Li Sushang is, after all, a rare S-rank Valkyrie, perhaps only Judgment-class Honkai Beasts can contend with her, as for Emperor-class Honkai Beasts...
There is no other possibility but to die in vain.
"The 'divine revelation' has been delivered, the 'Apostles of God' will arrive soon, and the selection of humanity will soon follow!"
"Hahaha... My mission is complete, and I have no regrets even in death!"
The middle-aged man suddenly went mad, emitting a low and strange laugh.
Not long after, the middle-aged man's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped, and his body, like a tattered sack, slammed against the wall before slowly sliding to the ground.
Anna coughed a few times, ignoring the blood spurting from her palm, and slowly walked to the middle-aged man, lifting him off the ground.
"What exactly is your purpose?!"
Anna questioned the middle-aged man in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man's face was no longer as calm and composed as before; he laughed wildly at times and acted mad at others, looking quite frightening.
Chapter 295 Li Sushang: I think I understand.jpg
Anna grabbed the middle-aged man by the collar and shook him violently, trying to get the purpose of the Honkai Cult from him.
Unfortunately, the middle-aged man seemed to have gone completely mad, ignoring Anna's questions.
Anna gritted her teeth, her expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
If the Honkai Cult was previously just an ordinary church that could be dealt with easily, then after its members demonstrated the ability to control Emperor-level Honkai Beasts, it was no longer an ordinary church that could be dealt with easily.
"What exactly is 'divine revelation'?!"
Anna pressed for an answer in a low voice.
Upon hearing the words "divine revelation," the middle-aged man unusually returned to normal.
"The chosen ones will surely launch a great purge against humanity!"
"What does 'chosen by God' mean?!"
Taking advantage of the middle-aged man's composure, Anna quickly pressed him for answers.
The middle-aged man grinned, a smile that seemed both wild and sarcastic.
Then, under Anna's gaze, he returned to his previous state of madness.
Anna's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. After hesitating for a long time, she forcefully snapped the middle-aged man's neck.
Judging from the middle-aged man's appearance, it's clear that you're unlikely to get anything meaningful from him.
With the death of the middle-aged man, Rajel and Remier were immediately freed from control, but they were severely injured by Li Sushang and unable to do anything else.
"I won this time!"
As Li Sushang pressed down with her sword finger, sword energy rained down, covering Rajel and Remiel.
When the sword energy dissipated completely, Rajel and Remiel were riddled with holes and were dead.
"Oops! It seems like I went a little overboard. Is it still usable?"
Li Sushang seemed somewhat unsure of herself, as if she wanted to find Anna but didn't know how to deal with the corpse of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast, thus finding herself in a dilemma.
Fortunately, Anna soon arrived with the middle-aged man's body.
"Lady Li Sushang, we are so grateful for your help this time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"It's nothing, it's nothing! It was just a small favor, and besides, it's our duty as cultivators to do good deeds..."
At this point, Li Sushang suddenly realized that this was no longer ancient times, so she quickly changed her question: "How should we deal with the corpse of an Emperor-level Honkai Beast?"
"Please trouble you, Lady Li Sushang, to take away their cores. As for the corpses... a dedicated logistics team will come to handle them later."
D-rank Valkyries are often called "commoner Valkyries." Since they lack the ability to kill Honkai Beasts, they usually perform logistical work, and their numbers are far greater than those of C-rank and above Valkyries.
Although only the Snow Lotus Squad is stationed on Coral Island, there are plenty of Valkyries in charge of logistics.
Li Sushang nodded, then pinched her sword fingers again, and two flying swords pierced through the corpses of Rajel and Remiel respectively, bringing out their intact cores.
During the battle, Li Sushang consciously avoided the core of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast to prevent damage to the core and a significant reduction in its effectiveness.
The core of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast is not very useful to Li Sushang, who is an S-class Valkyrie, but it can be made into a new Honkai energy weapon, greatly increasing the strength of an A-class Valkyrie.
"How are you feeling now? You should be able to hold on until you receive treatment, right?"
Li Sushang casually tossed the core of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast, her beautiful eyes carefully examining Anna's current state.
Although the skin is still covered with many red lines, they have diminished considerably.
Anna hesitated for a moment, then replied softly, "I feel pretty good now, maybe... I don't need treatment anymore."
After enduring the initial pain, Anna now feels warm all over, as if endless energy is flowing through her limbs and bones.
The Honkai energy within her body not only failed to continue eroding Anna's body, but instead began to strengthen it.
After flowing through her body for a week, the Honkai energy will eventually flow into her heart, condense into tiny crystals, and subtly transform Anna's body.
Anna only vaguely sensed this, but was unaware of the specific changes in her body.
Are you a member of the Snow Lotus Squad?
“Yes. Lady Li Sushang, I am Anna Shaniat, the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad.”
"Where are the other members of the Snow Lotus Squad? Why are you the only one fighting against two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts?"
"The other members are only B-rank Valkyries, and they were already severely injured by the Emperor-class Honkai Beast and rushed to receive treatment."
Li Sushang and Anna chatted as they walked.
As she spoke, the red markings on Anna's body gradually faded and eventually disappeared completely, as if they had never existed.
This bizarre scene amazed Li Sushang. After a brief examination of Anna's body, she found nothing unusual.
After several unsuccessful examinations, Li Sushang could only ask Anna to find an opportunity to return to Tianming Airport and undergo a thorough examination using professional equipment.
Anna simply shook her head and offered no response.
The collapse of Coral Island shows no signs of ending, and four members of the Snow Lotus Squad are seriously injured. Anna simply cannot find the time to return to Fate Airport for a thorough examination.
Even with Li Sushang's arrival to provide support, the Snow Lotus Squad's predicament could not be changed.
No matter how powerful Li Sushang is, she will always be overwhelmed when faced with the frequent outbreaks of collapse events.
Moreover, Coral Island is in a state of "internal and external troubles," with various Honkai events occurring internally and the ever-present threat of the marine Honkai Beasts externally.
Li Sushang didn't understand these things, but she didn't ask for details. Instead, she changed the subject: "Have you been guarding the beach alone all this time?"
