Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"In other words, you mean that using the power of the Herrscher Core, Kiana killed Ragnar...and all the stormtroopers present at the time, right? "

"Uh-huh☆~That's right, that's it."

"You're talking nonsense!!!" Kiana shouted loudly.

"Captain, don't believe her!! How can I kill someone? She has been talking nonsense from the beginning! What about killing people, what about experimental subjects... Just give me enough, you stinky Herrscher!!"

In her excited voice, Kiana's anger towards the girl in front of her seemed to be on the verge of breaking out. She wanted to step forward, but the captain reached out and held her shoulder first: "Kiana, calm down, don't let anger take over you. Thinking."

"...Captain, do you...believe what she said?"

"No, I didn't believe her, but..."

The captain paused and said to Kiana in as calm a tone as possible: "Ragnar...she is my friend. I can't escape her death, because that would be trampling on her lost life, so now I must Keep listening."

"captain…"

"But, Kiana, you are different from me. No matter what the outcome is, you have the right to escape before you truly grow up. If this is your choice, I will respect it and make guarantees for it. As for accepting As long as you want to continue the conversation, I will not ask you to continue participating, nor will I seek your confirmation. You will still be my important "Valkyrie", and I will still be your "captain". "

"..."

The captain's words revealed gentleness and firmness, and Kiana naturally trusted him, but at this moment, she felt like there was a lump in her throat.

She couldn't be as calm as this boy. She knew that the captain was also under great pressure at the moment. On the balance between her and the man named Ragnar, he couldn't fall to either side casually.

She was not qualified to let the captain fall to her side regardless of it, but it was related to the real cause of death of her friend, but this man protected her so gently, and was even willing to open a path for herself just to let her escape. He swallowed all the pain alone and paid the price of the road.

She can't do this.

"I...I don't want it, I want to be with the captain." As she said that, the girl lowered her head and slowly but powerfully held the captain's hand.

"Really... I understand, thank you, Kiana." After learning about the girl's choice, the captain said nothing more, but also held Kiana's extended hand, silently responding to her courage.

Looking at the two people's clasped hands, Xilin didn't care at all. She was completely fed up with the girl in front of her.

"Hey, how dare you say that... I would like to see if you can still put on this expression after confirming with your own eyes how much blood is on your hands."

After saying that, Xilin stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers in a very unhappy manner, and their vision was temporarily covered by a burst of white light.

When their vision returned, it seemed that the two of them were still familiar with the Siberian snow, but compared to the wind and snow just now, the sky was now clear.

And it is under such a clear sky that what reflects the sun is not the white light on the snow, but the scarlet red that is splashed on the snow indiscriminately.

It's their blood.

"..."

The captain slightly wanted to move, but his right foot seemed to accidentally hit something. He looked down and saw that at his feet, there was a knife still holding the sword tightly. It had been cut off by something, and the fracture was very neat. arm…

And between this arm and the entire red area, there lay a girl who had lost her breath...

She was wearing a black and white Valkyrie uniform dotted with golden themes, but the badly damaged uniform had been stained by her own blood along with her long golden hair. She just opened her eyes like that, the spreading blue color His pupils seemed to be looking at the clear sky at this time.

The fatal injury... was undoubtedly the bloody hole in the chest that was penetrated through the heart by some sharp object.

Alice Melfuntia…

Although there was not much communication, the captain recognized her immediately.

As the youngest member of the "Valkyrie Stormtroopers", he once often mentioned this hard-working child to Ragnar. But six years ago, just a year after she joined the Stormtroopers... her name was engraved On the tombstone of the Mediterranean headquarters.

And looking around, in addition to Alice who died in the battle... On this battlefield that was almost completely dyed red with blood, there were other bodies that had lost their breath... or in other words, parts of their bodies.

Alice Melfuntia, Kelly O'Sullivan, Irene Vázquez Hea, Kiyura Mafuyu, Tiej Shuterini...except for Ragna and Himeko who was unexpectedly absent at that time In addition, the other five members of the "Valkyrie Stormtroopers" have all died in this snowy field in a tragic situation that is unbearable to watch.

"..."

It seemed that this was the scene at the end of the tragedy. Although it was very sad, this tragic scene did not bring a mental impact to the captain. However, he felt the strength of Kiana's five fingers that were clinging to him suddenly. It had been strengthened a lot, and her hands had never stopped trembling since she saw this bloody land that could be called hell.

Kiana lowered her head, her body couldn't help but tremble, not just because she saw this tragic scene the moment she opened her eyes, but at the center of this tragedy, she saw a petite figure standing there. There, so abrupt and terrifying.

The petite body wearing a red scarf, wearing a brown cotton jacket, boots and thick knee-high socks, with three black and white "Akon Spears" floating behind her, symbolizing the supreme authority of the "Herrscher", and her symbol The sexy short white braid... silently announced her identity to Kiana and the captain.

Although Kiana had never seen cruel battlefields, the double physical and psychological shock before her still made Kiana feel nauseous.

The shocking sight stimulated the memory that had been sealed in the mind. The nightmare-like memories were all restored and overlapped with them without any discrepancy. When she thought that these tragic images were made by her own hands, she could no longer hold on and rolled her eyes. Yihei fell to her knees in pain and kept retching, but in the data space, there was nothing in her belly that she could spit out, so she could only repeat empty vomiting back and forth.

In the distance, I saw the young "Kiana" raising her hand, and several circular dark purple space gates appeared behind her. The girl's originally blue eyes now turned into Hexi's right eye. Like Lin... golden.

"Qi...!?"

Just when the captain wanted to speak to Kiana, a figure he was all too familiar with flew past him. The man jumped over the bodies of his comrades, clutched the black sword in his hand, and rushed without retreating. Moving forward, she launched a final charge against an enemy she could not defeat without looking back.
