I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

A light rain was falling from the gray sky, making Changkong City appear so dilapidated.

Beneath the vast, dark sky, the raven waited silently. The oppressive air pressure was depressing, but the stench mingling in the air made her even more uncomfortable. That familiar yet repulsive odor wafted incessantly from the other side of the wall.

The source of the aura hadn't moved for a long time; the girl had probably lost consciousness.

Next, she must be extremely cautious, careful with every step, for even the smallest mistake could be fatal.

Just as the raven was stunned, a series of footsteps sounded.

"Da da--"

A blue figure approached from afar, her eyes unusually resolute, revealing determination in every way.

"You came."

Mei nodded and said, "It's getting late, let's set off."

Raven pointed to a location and said, "The Herrscher of the Void is near Isolation Gate 2 of the Sky Wall. I hope you are ready."

"Let's go!"

..............................

Another battle ensued on the road.

Raven plunged its hand deep into a Honkai Beast, dragged it all the way to the edge of the building, and threw it directly into the sea below, splashing a large spray of water.

"The road has now been cleared."

At that moment, a fierce wind rose, accompanied by lightning and thunder, causing the raven's cloak to flutter loudly. A huge shadow took flight, soaring straight into the clouds.

"Get ready, Raiden Mei, we're about to face that guy." Raven's claws were poised to strike, her eyes blazing crimson.

A dragon's roar echoed across the sky—Roar!!!

"Ready to go, Raiden Mei!" Raven called back.

The raven transformed into a red shadow and charged towards Benares in an instant!

The raven's blood-red claws relentlessly tore at Benares's flesh, from which blood flowed.

Raven unleashed its full firepower, its figure constantly flashing to dodge Benares's attacks.

In no time, the battle between the man and the dragon reached its climax.

"Wait, where's Raiden Mei?!"

Raven exclaimed in surprise, realizing after fighting for so long that she was the only one dealing damage here. Where was Raiden Mei?!

"not good!"

The raven was distracted and accidentally slapped by Benares, sending it flying backward. It rolled several times on the ground, leaving a scratch.

Just then, Raven saw Mei leaning against the corner of the wall. Mei was holding her head and looked like she was completely exhausted.

"It hurts, why does my head hurt so much? Am I getting weak? But that doesn't make sense!" Mei clutched her head in agony, repeatedly hitting it with her right hand in an attempt to ease the pain.

At this moment, Mei felt as if her brain was being pricked by countless needles, and some cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Hey, Raiden Mei, what are you doing? Hurry up..." Before Raven could finish speaking, Benares charged at him again.

The raven was forced to fight it again, and they wrestled together.

"Phew... Phew... Okay, the pain has gone down." Mei rubbed her head and let out a long breath, then patted her head again.

"It's time to help Raven." Mei drew her Raikiri from its sheath and went to provide support.

However, Benares had already been defeated by the raven, whose breathing was labored and clear, indicating it was also quite exhausted.

"Raiden Mei, why did it take you so long to come over?" Raven said with a reproachful look.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Just then, the raven astutely discovered that Benares had not yet been defeated.

"Raiden Mei, back off!"

The two quickly separated, and the purple light on Benares' body was gradually disappearing, turning into azure blue.

When Mei saw this scene, she suddenly remembered seeing it in bits and pieces of the story.

Mei, wielding the Raikiri, prepared for battle, but Benares let out a long howl before plummeting into the icy sea, never to emerge again…

Mei couldn't help but feel pity when she saw this scene; she knew about Bella.

The story once described it this way: "The dragon crossed the snowfield, climbed the high mountains, and flew over the plains for the queen in its heart."

"In her last moments, she had only one wish: that her queen would call her name one last time—Bella!"

After the indifferent dragon-shaped Honkai Beast slowly sank into the water, Raven turned to Mei and said gloomily, "There's only one last thing left~"

"Now, the Herrscher of the Void is only a stone's throw away from us."

"She is dangerous and could lose control at any moment. Even if we send her elsewhere, it won't stop the condition from worsening."

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you'll choose to do.

“I’ll still make the same choice; I’ll take it with me,” Mei said.

Raven chuckled upon hearing this, revealing the sharp claws in its hand, and said without any politeness, "I'm afraid you can only take away a corpse. I will kill her before that."

"Further words are pointless, aren't they? Now we only have one solution left." Mei drew her blade, pointing it directly at the woman in the black robe.

"...Heh, very good. It seems you and I both know...this is the only way!"

Raven drew its blade instantly and slashed towards Mei's neck.

Mei's Raikiri, crackling with lightning, struck at the raven.

"Bang!" "Sizzle!" "Clang!" The weapons of the two collided at lightning speed, sparks exploding and scattering all around.

Their figures clashed repeatedly, then collided again. Sharp weapons left deep scratches and scorch marks from lightning strikes on the ground.

"The World Serpent knows everything about your past. Without the Conquest Gem, you're just an ordinary girl."

"You couldn't protect her in the past, how could you possibly do it now?" Raven kept slashing the blade hard at Mei's sword.

Suddenly, a burst of blue light erupted, and the raven was knocked back several steps by the lightning. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that many of the claws on its hands had been charred.

Just as Raven was shocked by Mei's sudden burst of such power, Mei's voice came from behind.

"Little Island Bakubaku, first of all, I'm very grateful that you brought me here."

"Besides, the past is the past, and the present is the present. Don't always refer to the past as the present. The present is not the past."

Mei's Raikiri unleashed lightning once more, illuminating the entire plaza with blue lightning.

"What! Honkai energy is gathering! How can you have such power?!" Raven's eyes were filled with shock.

Raven saw blue arcs of electricity crackling around Raiden Mei as she charged towards her, several times faster than before.

"Clang!!!" A sound of steel colliding echoed all around, and the stone slab beneath Raven's feet shattered instantly due to the powerful force.

Raven kept retreating, struggling to withstand Mei's slashes.

"This...how is this possible?" Raven was filled with confusion.

Each time Raven blocked Mei's slash, her hands were like a truck, the powerful force causing the capillaries and skin on her hands to rupture continuously, and blood flowed out steadily.

"Bang!" The raven was kicked away and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

"Cough...cough..."

By the time Raven tried to get up, Mei's Raikiri was already at her neck.
