Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"Haha, since you said so, I will do as you wish."

After saying that, the captain released the sword blade in his hand, and the "Trace of Nothingness" immediately converted into a pendant form. However, the purple crystal pendant did not return to the owner's neck, but just suspended in the original place. land.

While Benares wasn't paying attention, the captain and Bronya behind him looked at each other, and Bronya immediately nodded with understanding.

Seeing that the human being not far away voluntarily gave up the "God Key" that could bring him a glimmer of life, Benares had to become vigilant. She didn't know what the other party's intentions were.

"Human, what do you want to do?"

"Didn't you say that I relied on the "Key of God" to survive until today? Since you are going to fight me with nothing in that form, wouldn't it be unfair if I had a weapon? "

While speaking, the captain once again removed all the weapons and swords from behind him and on his waist, and then slowly stood up.

Seeing the human not far away first giving up the "God Key" and now removing all the weapons on his body, Benares realized that the other person wanted to fight him head-on with his weak body.

The girl who felt that she was completely underestimated by the other party gritted her teeth even more and looked very angry: "Human... you will pay the price for your arrogance!"

Feeling the malice emanating from the girl not far away, the captain, who was at an absolute disadvantage, laughed easily: "Oh, Bella, the arrogant... is you, even if you look like that now, I will never You won’t show mercy, are you ready to wake up?”

After saying this, the captain didn't make any sound again. His originally deep and dark gaze revealed an unprecedented sharpness, which shocked Bella, who was not far away and firmly believed that she would win.

The instinct of a beast made her very clearly aware of something terrifying in that gaze.

It was an extremely surging killing intent...

The soft drizzle kept falling, blending with the blood dripping from the captain's hair and face. Although he couldn't see the expression on the captain's face, he could only look at the captain's back. The kind of blood emanating from the captain at this moment The strong murderous aura still made Bronya, who was once a first-class killer, feel inexplicably suffocated.

She has never felt any obvious murderous intention from the captain. Although as a human being, theoretically everyone should have moments of anger, the harmonious relationship in the past two years has unknowingly given Bronya It was an illusion that the kind and gentle captain she knew so well had never been associated with the word "murderous intent".

No, maybe that is actually the case...

There was never a hint of hypocrisy in the tenderness and affection the captain gave them. Just by being around this person, everyone would feel at ease. From the moment they met until now, he has always been such a kind person worthy of everyone's trust and trust. Over-the-top adults.

But such a gentle man, in order to protect himself and more people behind him, he revealed a murderous intention that he may have never had in his heart and was not suitable for him at all.

In other words, in this man's eyes, she, and everyone on this ship, may be much more important than himself in his eyes.

"..."

The pain in his abdomen was getting worse, his limbs became stiff and numb, and his consciousness began to stagnate. The captain knew that the time left for him was already running out.

But the captain just endured the pain silently, sparing no effort and devoted himself to the duel that was about to begin...with a huge disparity in power.

For the safety of the people behind him, he had no choice but to directly defeat the opponent. Therefore, after hearing the girl threatening him that she would kill everyone behind him, he no longer needed to hide the pain that he had felt for a long time. Exuding murderous intent.

Just like Benares who now wanted to cut him into pieces, the captain now only had the idea of ​​using all his strength to kill the opponent.

The needle-like drizzle caressed the faces of the two people who were about to fight to the death on the Hyperion deck, but the cold raindrops could neither wash away the hatred overflowing from the girl's face, nor heal the young man's exhausted soul.

The misty sound of rain is just the final song that embellishes the death of a certain party on the battlefield.

The bodies of the two people facing each other remained motionless without making any sound, just waiting for the other party to reveal a fatal flaw.

"..."

At the moment when the human not far away slowly moved forward, the silver-haired Honkaimon girl controlled the Honkai energy flowing out of her body and concentrated the power on her left hand. She raised her hand as quickly as possible and wanted to finish it off with a strike. This battle has no suspense, but...

"Hypocritical human! Go to hell...eh!?"

The moment Bella made a move, the boy's figure disappeared from her eyes, and then, the terrifying murderous intention that made Benares' whole body tremble struck from her left side.

"What!?"

"Bella!!!"

The captain dodged to the left side of Benares as quickly as his broken body could reach. He grabbed the opponent's arm and at the same time crossed his right arm and aimed at the head of the girl in front of him with all his strength - for a human One of the most deadly parts is an elbow strike from the bent arm.

Benares, whose temple was directly hit by a human's hard-armored elbow joint, felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning. He screamed and staggered back.

If it were an ordinary human being, no, even an ordinary Valkyrie would never use this move from the captain. I am afraid that the fighting skills specially designed for killing people would not be able to escape death, but for a "judgment-level" For a Honkaimon girl, an attack of this magnitude would only cause her to feel a little tangible pain at most.

So this was just the beginning of the captain's attack full of life-threatening tricks. In her chaotic vision, Bella saw that the human being was once again in front of her, preparing to attack again, so after standing firm, she raised her head the moment after. His legs kicked towards the human in front of him.

A kick powerful enough to break the armor of a battleship shattered the air and hit the fragile human body, but to Bella's surprise, the kick missed.

He is obviously just an ordinary human being, but his body skills and speed are faster than he imagined.

Immediately, the lightning-like pain came from her head again. While the girl was still shocked by the amazing speed of human beings, the captain who had escaped the opponent's attack landed on the back of her head without hesitation.

This equally fatal attack technique, with the additional thrust provided by the armored thrusters behind the captain's calves, increased the damage to the girl's head several times. Benares was almost numb after being kicked by this kick. Gritting his teeth, he used another roundhouse kick, but the opponent seemed to have been prepared for it. He just lowered his body slightly and easily dodged the full force kick that was so fast that it caused a sonic boom.

Through the wet hair and the icy rain, in the short moment of eye contact, Benares saw the sharpest determination in the eyes of the human in front of him, and the reflection in the other person's gradually dimming eyes... A frightened self.
