Honkai Emperor.
The limit of lower-tier Honkai Beasts.
Only one step away from crossing that chasm to become a catastrophe-level high-tier Honkai Beast!
Even so, it was not something they could easily deal with.
Before them, a Honkai Emperor several dozen stories tall was charging toward them at an extremely high speed!
From not far away, it looked like a mountain rushing toward them, towering into the clouds, shaking the earth, and impossible to avoid.
The sheer pressure alone suffocated the other surrounding Valkyrie Squads.
They all had despair in their eyes, waiting for the final judgment to descend!
Kiana swallowed hard at the sight, knowing there was no escape; the target of that Honkai Emperor was the few of them.
Glancing at Mei, she grit her teeth and said at the fastest speed of her life: "You guys go quickly, I'll block it! Go find Aunt or Yunduo; in short, tell them as soon as possible, I'll handle it!"
At the critical moment, the blood of the Kaslana Family within Kiana was burning brightly; her eyes were like torches, as if containing sparks of fire.
Dying for what one loves is the most romantic, and also the favorite way to die for most of the Kaslana Family.
Letting Mei and Bronya lead the other Valkyrie Squads to escape.
This was the best plan Kiana could think of in a mere three seconds.
If they all tried to escape together, they would only be quickly overtaken.
And in a fight, having exhausted their armor's energy, they probably wouldn't even be a match for a single move from the Honkai Emperor!
Her heart rate accelerated, and all her body's organs adjusted to their optimal state within a second.
Even though her Valkyrie Armor had lost most of its energy, Kiana was still confident.
She would stop the Honkai Emperor and create hope for Mei and the others to escape!
"Kiana! You can't, we'll go together!"
At the moment of life and death, Mei spoke firmly; although the result might be death, she was fearless.
The two were best friends; even if they died, they would be together!
"Mei..."
Seeing this scene, Bronya also hesitated; she wanted to hurry, but faced with Kiana and Mei's choice, she couldn't make the quickest decision.
Such a choice was too cruel.
Not far away, the roar of the Honkai Emperor led more than a hundred small Honkai Beasts, surging toward them like a tide.
The ground shook, soil flew, and the dust floating into the sky formed a vortex.
The Emperor, with its magnificent appearance and surrounding blades, did not give them any extra time to make a choice.
In less than three short seconds, before Kiana and Mei could even make their choice, it had already arrived in front of everyone.
"—Roar!!!"
A beastly roar rang out.
The gloomy night was lit up by its magnificent glow, reflecting brilliant colors.
The circular spiral that never stopped spinning and the blades filled with Honkai Energy made all life lose its light.
Some small Honkai Beasts that didn't have time to escape, including the Knight-type Honkai Beast that everyone had just exerted all their strength to kill, were accidentally caught in the Honkai Emperor's blades and were quickly torn to shreds.
Kiana's expression changed drastically; she grabbed Mei's arm and hurriedly fled toward the back.
But how can humans escape the pursuit of a natural disaster?
Swept up by numerous small Honkai Beasts, everyone was lost in the beast tide, unable to find a way out.
Like a stampeding bull, the Honkai Emperor's crimson eyes narrowed; seeing these ant-like humans jumping around, it immediately summoned four beams of light that densely covered the ground without any blind spots, spreading outward and spinning to cut everything.
Beam Strike!
The dazzling purple glow lit up Kiana and the others hidden among the small Honkai Beasts.
There was nowhere to run!
Just at the moment of life and death, a delicate shout reached everyone's ears.
"Let me judge you!"
Hearing this voice, everyone's hearts instantly steadied.
This was Headmaster Theresa's voice!
Sure enough, looking back, they saw Theresa, who had just arrived wearing her nun habit, throw down the Oath of Judah, which was taller than her, and slam it into the ground, blocking the Honkai Emperor's path.
In the next second, a clean white light flashed in the sky as she threw spirit light spears, which turned into a rain of flawless light!
Sacred Thunder Javelin!!
The spirit light spears representing judgment continuously eroded the Honkai Emperor's body and triggered a chain reaction; purple lightning coiled around its entire body like vines, letting out crackling roars!
The pure light spears pierced its blades and entered its body. The Lightning of Erosion made the Honkai Emperor vulnerable; even a small wound could cause great damage!
Everyone wasted no time and seized the opportunity to attack, throwing every possible strike at the Honkai Emperor!
They didn't care about the Valkyrie Armor anymore; in such a critical moment, every bit of help counted.
Finally, Theresa smashed Judah into the Honkai Emperor's core; it roared feebly and finally collapsed to the ground.
"Kiana, you guys hurry back—"
Seeing the Honkai Beast killed, Theresa ran to Kiana's side, preparing to tell her to go back quickly.
As a result, before she could finish her sentence, endless crimson brilliance flashed in the dark night.
The earth was shaking!
The sky was wailing!
An impact more violent than an earthquake came from the end of the horizon.
Purple clouds weighed down on the city, and dense Honkai Energy gathered, nearly turning all of Saint Freya into a sea of purple light!
A mysterious ancient aura faintly emerged from the horizon, along with the desperate roars of countless Honkai Beasts!
It was as if they were waiting for the coronation of the Honkai Beast King, waiting for it to trample through all of humanity's defenses!
Theresa reacted at the fastest speed, her eyes widening as she changed her tone and shouted quickly: "All Valkyrie Squads, retreat back into St. Freya Academy immediately!!!"
"Hurry, there's no more time!"
The surrounding Valkyrie Squads exterminating Honkai Beasts heard the command and did not continue to hold the defensive line, heading toward the interior of the Academy at full speed.
Kiana, Bronya, and the others also sensed this inexplicable sense of crisis.
The hair on their bodies all stood on end.
An existence more terrifying than any Honkai Beast they had ever encountered before!
Even without seeing its physical form, the overflowing Honkai Energy caused all the flowers and grass on the ground to wither.
With no time to ask questions, Kiana and the others quickly fled back into the Academy under Theresa's cover.
On the high city walls, many Valkyries with weaker psychological resilience, even if they used all their strength not to cry, felt the despair in their hearts like a marrow-deep cancer taking root.
This sense of helplessness and loss quickly spread across the high walls.
No laughter, no crying; all emotions had been lost.
The previous Gaia Mecha had all been destroyed, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
The night was long, and the Honkai Beast tide never ceased!
There were still several hours until dawn!
How could humans without hope endure this time?
Endless Honkai Beasts attacked from the horizon, knowing no death and fearing no sacrifice!
At this moment, Theresa frowned, feeling a bit of despair, but she could not let this emotion show.
She would not die.
But if the Academy walls were breached, her students would have a slim chance of survival.
From the midst of the beast tide just now, she sensed eight other auras identical to that of the Honkai Emperors!
Eight more Honkai Emperors!!!
Additionally, a familiar yet mysterious aura made Theresa the most wary.
She didn't know what it was; only anxiety spread in her heart.
What to do... what to do?!!
Just as that mysterious aura came rushing!
Suddenly, dark clouds gradually gathered over St. Freya Academy.
Everyone was astonished, looking up to witness this amazing scene!
The swirling dark clouds billowed like thick smoke, almost obscuring everything!
Compared to these sky-covering dark clouds, the Honkai Beast tide seemed almost minuscule!
"Clouds, so many dark clouds!"
"Why? Is it going to rain?"
"That's not right; the weather forecast said it wouldn't rain today."
"Is it going to thunder? There's lightning too?"
The Valkyries on the wall discussed in surprise.
Deep thunder rolled like a violent landslide, slashing across the entire sky.
From the depths of the vast space, from beyond the eight directions, it surged forward.
Like swords tearing through the cloud layers!
Like a landslide, violent and frenzied!
The dull thunder grew louder and louder, ready to break free from the constraints of the thick clouds at any moment!
Not far away, Shuhu, another roar came!
"—Roar!!!"
A giant dragon passed through the Honkai Beast tide, attacking from beneath the dark clouds.
But it didn't notice that soon, it would thunder.
The brewing lightning was about to break through the darkness!
