The Paladin on the Infinite Tour.

Without removing the star armor, Bianca nodded vigorously and flew towards the place she knew from the beginning!

Fu Hua also followed immediately!

time is limited.

--------------------------

at the same time.

In the hall of the Paradise.

"...Okay, I roughly understand the situation."

After listening to Raven's explanation, Exia, who was brought out of the Paradise of the Past by Yutu, let out a slight breath: "Since the fourth collapse has occurred, things in the Paradise of the Past have to be temporarily suspended. ....Although there are No. 12 Herrscher and No. 13 Herrscher that we have yet to face, it seems that we can only come back and face them after the fourth Honkai is resolved."

"I think so too."

Raven said.

"According to what I know about Gray Snake, he has probably prepared a special plane. Ideally, I think he will arrive in Manila in as little as an hour."

"Then you, Kiana and Mei take the aircraft. I'll leave now."

Now?

Alexia's words made Raven and others stunned.

"Wait... let me tell you, Captain, are you planning to fly there directly?" Raven couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how far it is from Manila? By the way, you just talked to the Constraints If the Herrscher fights, does it really not matter physically?"

Raven has also heard of the power of the Herrscher of Restraint. It is undoubtedly the biggest nemesis of people like her, and it should be the same for Ixia.

Raven doesn't know what happened to Exia in the battle with Herrscher of Restraint, but he must be really weak now. In his case, he has to fly to Manila at full speed alone... No matter how long he lasts, he can't withstand this kind of consumption, right?This can almost be said to span the entire Africa and Southeast Asia!

"Brother, it's really better for you to take a rest first, right?"

Kiana also said worriedly.

"When you came out just now, I saw that your face was extremely pale. Sister Raven also said that Sister Bianca and the master were there. Thinking about it carefully, there is no need for you to go. Mei and I can just go and help. ”

"No."

Alexia rejected Kiana's idea.

"Anna is still there... I have to go, it's all about keeping her safe."

"elder brother......"

"Besides, I don't plan to fly there under my own power, as that would be really slow, so - Miss Ai Ge, you should have recovered enough to be able to fulfill my wish, right?"

In Alexia's voice, Shajo Aige quietly appeared behind him.

"Of course, anytime."

"So......"

Taking a deep breath, her eyes swept across Raven, Kiana, Raiden Mei and Alicia, and finally paused on Hato's body. Alexia put away the idea of ​​asking Hato some questions. It’s not too late to ask those things later, and the most important thing now is undoubtedly heading to Manila.

【welshdragonbalancebreaker! 】

In an instant, he entered the hand-forbidden form of the subspecies, and the ice wings behind him were fully unfolded.

Alexia groaned——

"——[I, make a wish to the Great Holy Grail]——"

(Wait a minute for me, Anna—I’ll come to you right now!)

94. Anna, sinking

For Anna, that is a memory that has not exceeded 72 hours.

In early November 2015, it happened two days ago.

Manila encountered a menacing medium-sized collapse event - as the Valkyrie troops stationed here, Anna immediately went to fight with the Snow Lotus team to fight against it.

Medium-sized Honkai will not give birth to particularly powerful Honkai beasts, which are at most temple level. Therefore, this Honkai incident was quickly suppressed by the Snow Lotus team. It was not a serious matter. At most, it was because of Honkai. The scope of the evil's influence was quite large, so they had to launch a blanket search of Manila to ensure that all the Honkai beasts were eliminated.

This is really a normal situation.

Every Valkyrie has experienced something similar.

Anna is no exception.

only......

【help me!big sister! 】

Casualties are not zero.

Honkai's attack came suddenly without any warning, so naturally there was no way to prevent it before it happened. No matter how fast the Snow Lotus team's attack was, there would definitely be people who couldn't be saved. The only thing they could save was [Part [-]] The second batch], the [first batch] who were killed the moment the collapse came, they couldn't save them no matter what.

That's what I just said.

It comes from a little girl under the age of eight.

Shortly after Anna led the Snow Lotus team to attack and walked out of the temporary base, her strength was improved because of the chess pieces and she was allowed to act alone. During the search and rescue mission, Anna met a little girl who was being attacked by a Honkai Beast.

Anna immediately wanted to save her, but in the end... because she was too far away, or because when she saw it, the little girl had been attacked by the Honkai Beast.

In short, she failed to save the little girl.

This is also a normal thing. Over the years since she became the Valkyrie, Anna has already experienced many similar situations.

There are too many people who couldn't be saved, people who were saved but still didn't survive, people who couldn't be saved in the first place... there were too many.Therefore, Anna has become accustomed to feeling heartache and sadness, but she also knows that there are still many people waiting for her to save. She can only bury the scene that happened in front of her deeply in her heart.Then wait until it's over to get counseling.

This is an experience that every Valkyrie will have more or less.

Almost all Valkyries have some mental stress.

but......

Anna should have been used to this kind of thing, but she couldn't forget that scene after that - the little girl was crushed by a tank-level Honkaiju right in front of her.

Anna didn't know why she couldn't save her.

She knew she could find many reasons, but she still didn't know why she couldn't save her at that time.

She has been given a dependent chess piece by Exia, and under Exia's permission, she can automatically [upgrade] whenever she faces Honkai Impact - Anna believes that she has the power to save the little girl. What she should be able to do should be possible for her current self who is much stronger than her former self.

But why...

【Because you are not strong enough】

In the boundless darkness.

Appearing in front of Anna, another [Anna] who had exactly the same appearance as Anna said with a sneer.

[You are still too weak, human.Your power is insignificant at all. You think you are strong, but in fact your power is still as weak as a baby - that’s why you failed to save, failed to save that child]

"......"

Is that right?

Is it because I am still too weak?

【Yes!You are still too weak! 】

[You are so weak, you will be abandoned by that man sooner or later! 】

being abandoned?

By... Exia?

"no, I can not!"

Anna covered her ears: "Exia will not abandon me!"

【Really?Do you really think so? 】

[Anna] seemed to be sneering: [Why do you think he won't abandon you?Why do you think you are a woman worthy of him?Of all the people in that family, are you any better than anyone else? 】

"I--"

Anna immediately wanted to refute!

But...she couldn't think of how to retort.After all, in Alexia's family, she may indeed be the most ordinary person.

She is not a powerful S-class Valkyrie like Bianca and the others. She does not have terrifying potential like Kiana and the others. She grew up in a big family and has no experience in housework. Even from the background of her and Alexia, Looking back, she is the one who has been causing trouble for Alexia...

[Aren’t you very clear about this? 】

[Anna] laughed ferociously.

[Admit it, you are weak. No matter what aspect you are, you are the weakest. There is no place for you in that family. If you are weak, you will one day be abandoned by that man and abandoned by everyone in that family. abandon.There is no place for the weak in that place. 】

[You are weak and you are not worthy of that man]

"......Um."

This is Anna's realization early on.

Alexia is the next head of the Kaslana family, a hero who defeated the Herrscher, and is known as Destiny's strongest warrior like Bianca.The two of them were so well matched, they had been together since childhood, and it seemed to Anna that there was no place for her to interfere.

Even at home, when sleeping with Alexia in the same bed, Anna can't help but think - does Alexia want to sleep with Bianca more than sleeping with herself?

[Then, do you want power? 】

".....strength?"

[Yes, power]

[Anna] came to Anna and stretched out his hand to her.

[The power that allows you to save everyone, the power that allows you to become that man's only power, the power that allows that man to stay by your side forever - with power, you will become the most important thing to him People become irreplaceable. 】

"Can I...be Exia's only one?"

Anna's voice was a little confused.

[Yes, you can be.Just hold my hand... Come, hold my hand and I will empower you.Let me...let you become a messenger of God】

Become a messenger of God.

Become...the only one.

【Come on~~~~Anna Shaniat】

A light seemed to light up behind [Anna], illuminating the darkness where Anna was.

[Give me your hand and follow me to God, to that man]

Go to Exia's side.

Go to...

Looking at the hand stretched out in front of her, Anna raised her hand and held [Ana's] hand uncontrollably. The look in her eyes gradually disappeared.

【very good】

A smile appeared on [Anna]’s face—the smile of a successful conspiracy.

[Congratulations, Anna Shaniat, you have gained the power to realize all your wishes, but... I am the one who uses this power. 】

[I will kill everyone, kill everyone in that family, kill that man - and then make his body into an eternal ice sculpture]

【In this way, we can be together forever】

[And you...can't see that scene]

95. Herrscher of Ice, Birth

Rizal Park.

monument.

After rushing here in a hurry, what Bianca and Fu Hua saw was a world completely frozen.

Everything connected to the earth was covered with frost.

Everything that can be touched by the eyes is, without exception, frozen in the unmelting ice.

In front of the monument, as if enshrined by countless ice sculptures, a huge ice crystal was standing there, exuding a steady stream of icy cold air, causing the entire surrounding area to be hit by a fierce cold. Wind and snow.

"Is that...Anna?"
