Chapter 708

Dark clouds covered the blue sky, and despair and death kept spreading in this city. The originally prosperous metropolis had now turned into doomsday-like ruins.

Everywhere there were flames and the figures of Honkai Beasts.

"No, no, how could it be like this..."

A girl wearing white Valkyrie armor, a blue beret, and a blue-purple cape on her left shoulder was holding her head in grief, unable to accept this unreasonable tragedy.

The girl had a pair of pink eyes and long chestnut hair, but there was still a natural white bang on her forehead, proving that she was a Schariac, just like her surname.

Ana Schariac was trembling all over with fear.

Originally, she had just accepted a support mission to crusade against a high-tier Honkai Beast, but the sudden major Honkai eruption made everything terrible, and the world instantly became hell.

Ana saw with her own eyes countless people either turning to ashes or becoming zombies under the erosion of Honkai, and a large number of high-tier Honkai Beasts were born out of thin air, trampling on the already dilapidated world.

Ana instinctively wanted to stop and fight.

But as an A-rank Valkyrie, even though she was assigned a Pseudo-Divine Key, she couldn't compete with so many Honkai Beasts. The last bit of reason made her choose to retreat.

This was an extremely correct choice.

But when the last bit of reason dissipated, Ana's heart was completely eroded and occupied by fear.

During the Fourth Eruption, she had seen the Herrscher of Void summon an army of Templar-class Honkai Beasts.

But at that time, Ana had teammates by her side, and countless people who were stronger than her and worth relying on. But now, the girl was alone on this desperate Honkai battlefield.

"Wuwu, wuwuwu..."

"523" Ana couldn't help but let out a wail. She hugged the Pseudo-Divine Key in her hand tightly.

The shape of this Pseudo-Divine Key was a white lance similar to Abyss Flower, with the ability to condense flying snow. It was a weapon the girl chose because of her longing.

As for who she longed for? Of course, it was that white-haired youth who had saved her before. However...

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lord Bai Ge, I can't do anything!"

Ana cursed her own weakness while crying.

Facing such a major Honkai eruption, as an A-rank Valkyrie, she really couldn't do anything.

After all, a major Honkai eruption is a disaster more terrifying than ordinary natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornadoes.

"Roar roar roar roar—!"

A roar like thunder came, scaring the girl again. She made her weak legs stand up, and her brain tried hard to recall the coping measures for this kind of time.

The answer is to continue retreating and escape the range of Honkai.

"Must retreat to the assembly point as soon as possible, meet up with other Valkyries in this area, and then request support from the academy. Yes, I should do this. I don't want to die, I want to live!"

Ana used the lance as a crutch, identified the direction, and prepared to move toward the assembly point.

Her actions were without any errors. In the face of this major Honkai eruption, individual power is too small. Meeting up with more people and then reorganizing, or handing it over to the strong with absolute strength, is the correct choice.

Being able to make such a judgment and take action under extreme fear shows that Ana is already a very qualified Valkyrie.

In fact, except for those "big-hearted" fools of the Kaslana family who wouldn't be afraid at all, most Valkyries would lose their courage in this situation and wouldn't even be able to move.

However, at this moment.

"Brother... where are you... brother..."

A girl's weak voice from under the ruins nearby reached Ana's ears, and she stopped in her tracks.

"There are survivors?!"

"...Save me... someone... save me."

I saw a black-haired girl lying miserably on the ground. She was crushed by several stones. A pink "Houm" doll fell beside her. The surface of the doll was broken, and the cotton inside was scattered on the ground like white blood.

"!!!"

Ana widened her eyes. She realized that if she didn't go to save this girl, the girl's blood would soon dye the cotton bright red.

However, just as she intended to approach.

"Roar roar roar roar roar—!!"

"Pa, Parvati!"

Perhaps even ethereal fate was preventing Ana from saving people. I saw a huge Honkai Beast born between her and the girl. This Honkai Beast had a pair of white tusks, and there were blue patterns on its black shell.

Ana, a good student, recognized it at a glance.

This is an Emperor-class Honkai Beast! Parvati!

She instinctively gripped the lance in her hand.

(No, no! Can't act rashly!)

With her A-rank Valkyrie strength plus the Pseudo-Divine Key, she could indeed kill Parvati, but fighting now is by no means a wise move, and can even be called a suicidal act.

Because Ana couldn't solve the Emperor-class Honkai Beast in a short time, and once a big commotion was made, it would inevitably attract other Honkai Beasts around.

By then, let alone saving people, Ana herself wouldn't be able to protect herself.

And to say a cold and cruel word.

The lives of people are actually not equal.

At least the life of a dying girl cannot be compared to an A-rank Valkyrie, or even Ana, who still has some Holy Blood in her body.

(So scary, so scary. I must go to the assembly point. Now I can't fight the Honkai Beast, otherwise not only that child, but even I will die. But, but... I am a Valkyrie. If I don't go to save this child...)

"Roar roar roar roar roar roar—!!"

At this moment, Parvati roared. Ana instinctively took a few steps back, but the next second she realized that she hadn't been discovered by this Honkai Beast.

The one discovered was the little girl.

"Roar roar roar roar! (Kill human)"

Parvati followed the mission given to it by Honkai at the beginning of its birth, obliterating all humans it discovered, even if the other party was just a dying human cub.

So this Honkai Beast with the shape of a mammoth opened its big mouth and approached the girl crushed under the stones.

It was going to eat this girl.

"Sister... save me... save me..."

The girl discovered Ana. She was terrified. She didn't want to be eaten. Tears fell in big drops, and she reached out to her only hope/Ana for help, trembling.

Ana's face turned pale instantly.

She had many choices now. If she didn't want to see that cruel scene, she just had to turn her head and run away.

At this time, no one would blame her for her weakness.

Because "running away" is the correct choice right now.

And when Bai Ge was teaching the Valkyries, he said that although Valkyries are warriors who protect ordinary people, their own safety is actually more important.

Because a living Valkyrie can kill more Honkai Beasts, and killing even one lowest-tier Honkai Beast can save the lives of several or even a dozen people.

And after all... Valkyries are also human, and Valkyries only have one life.

They have a mission to protect humanity.

But they have no obligation to sacrifice themselves for others.

They also have the right to be selfish.

"...I, what should I do."

Ana felt that she was standing at the crossroads of fate. If she chose to save this girl, she would likely die too. If she didn't save this girl, the other party would definitely die.

And there seemed to be some existence in the dark, making Ana uncontrollably have the thought of leaving.

But the tip of the lance in her hand was already pointing at Parvati, as if urging her to fight.

(At this time, what would Lord Bai Ge do.)

The image of the person she longed for appeared in Ana's mind involuntarily, and then she reached the answer in less than half a second.

If it were that white-haired youth, he would definitely rush up to save people without hesitation. After all, a mere Parvati didn't even have the qualification to make him look squarely at it.

But even if that person didn't have powerful strength, Ana felt that he would definitely rush up regardless of his own safety, and wouldn't let go of that glimmer of hope even if he gambled everything.

Back during the Fourth Eruption.

Ana witnessed Bai Ge blocking the Honkai energy fission bomb falling on St. Freya Academy. It was at that moment that she developed longing and admiration for the white-haired youth.

Later, there was an opportunity for Ana to ask Bai Ge a question, asking him if he didn't feel afraid when facing so many dangers?

The next moment, Bai Ge's answer at that time rang in the girl's mind like a melodious bell.

Bai Ge: "Afraid? Of course I'd be afraid. Who wouldn't be afraid when facing a missile? But compared to death, losing the person I love is more terrifying to me."

"Life is indeed important, but the most important thing is—never do things that you will regret. Rather than letting regret accompany you for a lifetime, it is better to risk your life at a critical moment."

The flashback ends here.

Ana took a deep breath, looked at Parvati, and asked herself.

"Never do things that you will regret... If I run away now, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life. Since that's the case, I choose to fulfill the mission of a Valkyrie!"

She injected Honkai energy into the lance, and the Pseudo-Herrscher of Ice core within it suddenly lit up. ....

Ana gave a delicate shout to attract Parvati's attention, and then launched an attack on this Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

"Roar roar roar roar roar—!"

"Ya ah ah ah—!"

The girl under the ruins looked at this scene blankly. The holy and beautiful big sister was really fighting a life-and-death battle with a terrifying monster like a Valkyrie in a myth.

This battle was so thrilling that it made people unable to look away, and even made her temporarily forget the pain.

Ten minutes passed.

Ana found the right time to slide, and at the same time raised the lance in her hand to pierce the abdominal shell of Parvati, finally piercing the core of this Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

"Ha~! Ha~! Ha~!"

Then Ana knelt on one knee, panting heavily, watching Parvati fall to the ground and become completely silent, only then did she feel relieved.

She couldn't help but sigh that she was really lucky. The intense battle for ten minutes didn't attract other Honkai Beasts, but the luckiest thing was that Parvati was also an ice-attribute Honkai Beast.

Although it possessed the ability to manipulate wind and snow, it was not as good as the Pseudo-Herrscher of Ice core in her Divine Key. Thanks to it, Ana was immune to Parvati's wind and snow ability.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, big sister will save you out."

"Big sister... you are so beautiful... and so powerful."

"I, I am still far from it."

Ana, who was praised, blushed, then moved the stones on the girl with difficulty, and then was pleasantly surprised to find that the other party was not in serious trouble, with sound limbs and no injuries like fractures.

"It's really too lucky. It's all just minor injuries. You know, I don't have many first-aid items on me now. Little sister, can you tell me your name?"

"I, I am Chen Tianwen, sister, what about you?"

"My name is Ana, Ana Schariac. Don't be afraid, Xiao Wen. Sister is a Valkyrie of St. Freya Academy, and I will definitely send you to a safe zone safe and sound."

Ana gently stroked Chen Tianwen's head and said. At this moment, she didn't notice that her temperament had changed.

If the previous Ana Schariac was just a green and pure girl, then she is now transforming toward the "Saint" symbolized by the surname Schariac.

This is because she broke her own fate and personally rewrote the tragedy that would have made her regret for a lifetime.

"Thank you, Sister Ana. By the way, I have a brother named Chen Chen Tianwu. Sister, have you seen him?"

"Chen Chen Tianwu? Sorry Xiao Wen, sister hasn't seen him. Let's take you to a safe place first. On the way, I will look for other survivors. Maybe we can find your brother."

Ana shook her head with regret. If there is no considerable Honkai energy resistance, there is no way to survive in a major Honkai eruption. In her opinion, Chen Tianwen's brother is likely dead.

"Mm! I know."

Chen Tianwen nodded, picked up the tattered Houm doll on the ground, and followed behind Ana. She is also a sensible good child and didn't act willfully or throw a tantrum to make Ana find someone.

Doomsday-like ruined city, terrifying monsters wandering.

This Sister Ana has already saved her with all her might. Chen Tianwen can only pray that her brother is lucky enough to be alive and can be encountered by them next.

Then the two of them went to the evacuation point together.

And surprisingly, there were quite a few survivors nearby, which means they all have Honkai energy resistance and are talents who might become Valkyries in the future.

Ana didn't hesitate anymore, saving one whenever she met one.

"Everyone, stay quiet and follow behind me. Don't be discovered by Honkai Beasts. I will take you away safely. Don't give up, we will definitely be able to live!"
