Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

Strengthening her convictions with thoughts like these, Sirin once again launched an attack on the humans in the distance. Two Sub-Earth Spears turned into ribbons and shot out, heading straight for the humans in the herd.

"Tsk!!"

The captain dodged a ribbon with his amazing reflexes and immediately used his sword to block another ribbon, but the impact of the direct attack from the Herrscher, which was enough to penetrate the thick armor plate, still disrupted the captain's balance for a short time.

Seeing this, several "Temple-level" Honkai beasts nearby rushed forward, swinging their spears and launching full-force stabbings at the same time. The captain, who was holding the double-edged swords with the blades of both swords, barely blocked the spear points and fell uncontrollably to the ground of the "Third Skyport".

"Ugh, damn!"

As soon as the captain adjusted his posture and landed smoothly before hitting the ground, those "knight-type" Honkai beasts riding on four-legged companions like human cavalry and holding knight spears rushed up together.

Just like when he dealt with the "Imaginary Divine Skeleton", he used the "Cloud Sword" technique to deflect a spear that was stabbing at his forehead. The captain strode forward and cut off the head of a "Knight-Type" Honkai Beast in the front with one sword. Then he immediately dodged the attacks of the remaining Honkai Beasts and the several beams of light and dozens of Sub-Sky Spears that swept down from the sky.

"It's about time this trick came to an end, you stupid human!"

Xilin, who had rushed out from the beast group at some point, reached for the captain's chest, but was blocked by the captain's sword. The huge impact force threw the captain away. The captain had no choice but to consume the power of the "Trace of Nothingness" to transfer on the spot. He reset the kinetic energy on his body through a moment of imaginary numbering and fell back to the ground.

"Give up, how could a mere mortal possibly defeat the true messenger of God?"

"Even so, I won't give up!"

The captain squeezed out a voice to respond to Sirin's call for surrender and at the same time used double sword skills to chop up several Honkai beasts around him. Then, waiting for him was an endless rain of beams and the Sub-Sky Spear shot by Sirin with all her strength.

"Xiaozhi, I've reached my limit. If I keep wasting time!!"

An old friend's anxious reminder came to my ears. As the number of Honkai beasts increased, the situation of the battle seemed to have undergone an overwhelming change.

"But!"

Is this the last "attempt"? Is this the only way to stop here?

In fact, from the beginning of this battle, the captain and Fu Hua had already prepared the final trump card that was enough to end this battle. As long as the captain agreed, Fu Hua could assist him at any time to deliver that "only that" sword.

Although that sword would burn all of the old friend's memories for about five thousand years, it was also enough for the two of them to completely eliminate Sirin's consciousness from Kiana's body.

The reason why Fu Hua agreed to use this plan as the final and only trump card was that compared to the old friend's previous plan to manipulate "Yu Duchen" alone to burn his own soul to defeat Xilin, this was the best compromise she and her old friend could reach after repeated discussions.

But the captain's purpose seemed to be more than that. In this state of oneness, she could sense that after experiencing something, the old friend did not want to completely erase Sirin's existence from Kiana's body, but was intentionally consuming the power in her body, while also delaying time to restore more energy to the "Trace of Nothingness".

The sword launched by "Yu Duchen" is the trump card for victory, while "Trace of Nothingness" is the last insurance to ensure that this sword can hit Xilin and prevent Xilin from using her power to escape.

For this purpose, the remaining power of the "Trace of Nothingness" should be able to barely support them to achieve this, but... it takes so much time and effort to consume the power of the "Herrser". As expected... this person still doesn't intend to give up Xilin easily...

Fu Hua thought so, but she had no complaints. She had already decided to entrust everything to him. She believed in Zhi and believed that he would make the right judgment before the opponent found an opportunity to turn the tables.

For this, she will give everything for him.

“HOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!”

The young man shouted and thrust the sword in his left hand at full speed. In less than the blink of an eye, he stabbed ten times in succession at the giant body in front of him. The high-speed piercing brought by the stabbing skill called "Ten Gates Starlight Flash" was like a phantom, and without exception, the body of the poor "Temple-level" Honkai beast and its shield were completely pierced, as if ten stars were dotted in the lightless deep sky.

While the Honkai beast in front of him was falling down while wailing due to the sudden appearance of ten piercing wounds on his body, the captain had already jumped up and spun his body around to pass over the body of another "Knight-level" Honkai beast. The Honkai beast that was hit by all the double-sword secret techniques "Flying" from Shenzhou was cut into several pieces on the spot and dissipated into light particles.

“Haaaaaaaaaaaa!”

The humans who were trying their best to fight against the Honkai beasts and the Herrscher of the Sky were struggling even though they had mastered breathing techniques that were unmatched anywhere in the world. They could only breathe heavily while dodging the attacks that would have focused fire on them if they stopped.

The sweat that the captain had produced due to the hard battle was washed away by the heaviest rainstorm the moment it seeped out of his skin. The rainstorm not only slightly obscured his vision, but also brought him the most rare clarity at that moment.

"Where else are you going to run to!!!?"

The captain, who was blocked by several Honkai beasts, stopped and heard the roar of the "Herrser" behind him. The moment he turned around, the pure white ribbon turned into a blade that swept across and cut the fabric on his chest. Dozens of golden holes formed instantly and completely surrounded him in the blink of an eye, directly cutting off all his possibilities of dodging.

Immediately afterwards, countless sharp spears flew out, and together with the explosive bombs thrown by the "Catapult-level" Honkai beasts in the surrounding beast herds, the beams shot by a dozen "Honkai Emperors" in the sky directly hit the humans in the center who had nowhere to go.

boom! ! ! !

The explosion, which was more ear-piercing than thunder, shook the sky islands that made up the entire "Third Airport". The humans who were automatically protected by the "Key of Space" at the last moment were caught up in the violent impact and flew out from the smoke and dust raised by the explosion. They rolled several times on the rain-soaked airport ground before they stopped themselves by inserting the sword in their hands into the ground to obtain a fixed point.

But when the captain struggled to get up from his half-kneeling position on the ground and adjusted his posture, he was already surrounded by countless Honkai beasts. The herd of Honkai beasts and the Honkai Queen floating in the sky behind them directly surrounded him with the force of thousands of troops.

"It's time to end, stupid human!" Silin made the final announcement to the human who was completely trapped by her, as if she was sure of victory.

“Haaa – haaa – is it possible that we can only… destroy her…?”

Wiping the dirty water off his face, the captain showed a very unwilling expression. The desperate situation and the declaration from the distant "Hersher of the Sky" seemed to tell him that it was time to make a decision.

"..."

At this point, there is no time for hesitation. The captain, who made a judgment in an instant, has already clenched the two swords in his hands, ready to strike that "only one" sword.

But at this last moment that was enough to decide fate, the next second, micro missiles denser than the rainstorm that was now beating on the ground of the "Third Skyport" fell from the dark deep sky, centered on the captain's position, and fell towards the group of Honkai beasts surrounding him.

The missiles pierced into the bodies of the Honkai beasts in their respective falling paths like steel needles, and then exploded at the same time. The dense missiles instantly destroyed the group of Honkai beasts surrounding the humans in the center.
