Chapter 293 Is Anna the Chosen One?
The waters surrounding Coral Island.
A brown-haired girl rides a flying sword, soaring through the air above the sea.
"According to the map, the so-called 'Coral Island' should be just ahead..."
The damp sea breeze tousled the girl's long hair and made her robes flutter, giving her an air of elegance and grace reminiscent of a "sword immortal."
The flying sword was extremely fast, and the air currents it created as it flew through the air even left clear traces on the sea surface, breaking the calm appearance of the sea.
Perhaps due to the high speed of the flying sword, several waves appeared on the sea near the girl, and a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen lurking beneath the surface.
"Oh? This is a 'monster'?"
The girl raised an eyebrow, then realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself: "No! In this day and age, they're no longer called 'monsters,' but have been given a new name, something like... 'Honkai Beasts'?"
sound off.
The girl placed her right hand in front of her chest, making a sword-like gesture with her index and middle fingers together.
hum!
Nine sword blades materialized and flew rapidly, following the girl's movements.
"Sword energy materializes—Slash!"
As the girl gave the order in a deep voice, the swords flying around suddenly shot out, three swords in each group, each aimed at the Honkai Beasts lurking beneath the sea.
Even with the resistance of the water flow, the power of the blade was far beyond what these three Honkai Beasts could withstand, and they died instantly under the blade.
Throughout the entire process, the girl's speed did not decrease in the slightest.
"There are so many Honkai Beasts in this ocean..."
"If it weren't for these Honkai Beasts blocking my way, I might have already reached Coral Island."
"It's been delayed for seven whole days. I hope nothing bad has happened to those Valkyries."
The girl sighed softly.
Seven days ago, she received a request for help from Coral Island and immediately set off for Coral Island in order to provide support to the Snow Lotus Squad stationed there as soon as possible.
However, she was still unfamiliar with the world today, and was not even used to using a mobile phone, let alone following a map to get to Coral Island.
If she hadn't brought a map with her before leaving Tianming Airport, she might have gotten lost somewhere else long ago.
Even so, the girl inevitably got lost a few times while flying over the vast ocean.
After a series of events, the girl finally found the right direction and rushed to Coral Island without stopping.
Not being used to using mobile phones, the girl didn't even carry one with her. How to find the Snow Lotus Squad after arriving at Coral Island was a new problem.
Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but sigh again.
"...That tool called a 'cell phone' is far too cumbersome; it's much simpler and more convenient than sending messages by carrier pigeon."
"Speaking of which, although Grandmaster Chi Yuan doesn't seem to have changed much, she has deeply integrated into the current era. There is still a lot I need to learn."
The girl cleared her mind and recalled her experiences from the past few days.
Although time has passed and many things are no longer as she remembered them, as a dreamy and curious girl, she quickly accepted all sorts of new and exciting things.
After a seven-day journey, all she wants now is a nice hot bath, a good rest, and then to go out and buy milk tea and play games at the arcade.
As they approached Coral Island, the girl seemed to realize something serious, her nonchalant expression suddenly turning serious.
"This feeling……"
"According to the Human Alliance's classification of Honkai Beasts, it seems to be an 'Emperor-class Honkai Beast'?"
Without needing to consciously perceive the exact location of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast, the girl had already spotted "Ragel" and "Remiel" hovering above the coral island.
Immediately, the girl pointed her sword forward, causing the flying sword beneath her feet to accelerate suddenly, faintly emitting a sonic boom, as she rushed towards Rajel and Remiel.
……
Coral Square.
Under the casual attacks of Rajel and Remiel, all four Valkyries were seriously injured, and one of them even fainted.
The middle-aged man's lips curled into a slight smile, showing no mercy as he indifferently pronounced the end of the four Valkyries.
"Servants of God, kill these 'heretics'!"
sound off.
Remiel raised his right arm and pointed at the four Valkyries.
The next second, dazzling lightning descended from the sky, indiscriminately covering the location of the four Valkyries, without even caring whether there were any innocent civilians around.
At the critical moment, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of the four Valkyries, slashing her sword to cleave the lightning that Remiel had unleashed.
"Captain, Captain, these two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts are being controlled by someone!"
"Okay, I understand. You guys leave here first."
Anna calmly nodded, then gestured to the Valkyrie who had come with her to lead the other Valkyries away.
The four Valkyries were seriously injured and no longer fit to participate in the upcoming battle. They needed to receive treatment as soon as possible, otherwise their lives would be in danger.
Knowing they couldn't help Anna, the Valkyries quickly left Coral Plaza to receive treatment.
Anna did not turn around to see her teammates off; her gaze remained fixed on Rajel and Remiel to prevent the two Emperor-class Honkai Beasts from launching an attack.
What's puzzling is that after seeing Anna, the middle-aged man not only didn't order Rajel and Remiel to attack, but also stared at Anna with fervor, as if witnessing a "miracle."
"This is...this is...the Chosen One!"
"You are the chosen one!"
The middle-aged man's fervent shouts caused Anna to instinctively furrow her brows.
The Chosen One?
What the hell is that?
Anna didn't dwell on the matter. She carefully examined the middle-aged man, confirming that he was just an ordinary human, and then took the initiative, rushing towards him at full speed.
The middle-aged man did not dodge at all; instead, he opened his arms as if to welcome Anna's attack.
"It's weird..."
Anna whispered in confusion, but did not stop her charge.
Judging from the current situation, the two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts are being controlled by the middle-aged man. As long as the middle-aged man is killed, the control of the two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts will naturally be released.
Until new orders are received, the two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts will remain suspended in the air like two gatekeepers, without launching an attack.
Thinking of this, Anna suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly stopped the blade, keeping the tip hovering two or three centimeters in front of the middle-aged man's throat.
"It seems you've already noticed this matter."
The middle-aged man addressed Anna with respect, but his expression was one of great pleasure.
Anna gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Once you are killed, these two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts will go berserk and destroy at least half of the city!"
"Yes, that's right—I'm curious, what would you do?"
Chapter 294 Li Sushang's Arrival
Anna was enraged by the middle-aged man's pleased and smug look, but she was forced to suppress her urge to kill him due to the threat of the two Emperor-class Honkai Beasts.
"What on earth do you want to do?!"
If Anna hadn't lacked the ability to quickly kill two Emperor-class Honkai Beasts, or been unable to intercept two Emperor-class Honkai Beasts simultaneously, she would have killed the middle-aged man with a single sword strike long ago.
The middle-aged man's smile widened, and he replied in a low voice, "I will bestow upon you 'divine revelation'!"
"Divine revelation? What does that mean?"
Anna furrowed her brows and pushed the blade forward one centimeter.
The sword tip emitted a chilling glint, and the Honkai energy it carried pierced the middle-aged man's skin, causing a slight Honkai energy infection to appear on his neck.
"Hehehe..."
"Please rest assured, after bestowing upon you the 'Divine Revelation,' I will leave on my own, and these two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts will also leave this city. How does that sound?"
Because he controlled two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts, the middle-aged man completely held the power of discourse, forcing Anna to submit.
Anna glared at the middle-aged man through gritted teeth, wishing she could kill him on the spot, but considering the innocent people of Coral Island, she had no choice but to accept the middle-aged man's proposal.
"How are you going to grant me this so-called 'divine revelation'?!"
"It's very simple..."
The middle-aged man took out a strangely shaped crystal from his pocket. "All you need to do is take this 'Divine Revelation Crystal' to receive 'divine revelation'."
"..."
Anna remained silent.
She was actually quite familiar with the "divine revelation crystals" in the hands of middle-aged men.
As an A-rank Valkyrie, how could she be unfamiliar with the core of a high-rank Honkai Beast?
When I was training as a Valkyrie, I visited the cores of various Honkai Beasts quite a bit.
Anna made up her mind that once the two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts left the city, she would kill the middle-aged man with swift and decisive action.
With this in mind, Anna no longer hesitated and took the core of the high-ranking Honkai Beast from the middle-aged man's hand.
Looking at the Honkai Beast Core in her hand, she hesitated for a moment, then put it into her mouth.
The core of this high-ranking Honkai Beast is clearly very hard, but it softens immediately after being put into Anna's mouth, making it easy for her to swallow.
Such a bizarre situation had never been recorded before, to the point that Anna began to doubt whether the crystal was indeed the core of a high-ranking Honkai Beast.
Even before Anna could swallow it, the crystal liquefied and merged into her limbs and bones at a speed that Anna couldn't react to, giving her an extremely large amount of Honkai energy.
In an instant, many red lines appeared on Anna's skin, but the light she emitted was purple, which was quite eerie.
Anna knew perfectly well that this was a state of Honkai energy erosion caused by the massive Honkai energy within her body, and only by taking anti-Honkai energy erosion drugs as soon as possible could this state of Honkai energy erosion be relieved.
