A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

337. Surrender

When the flesh and bones are cut by a sharp dagger, there should be flowers of blood blooming. The bright red color that symbolizes life is the proof of being a human being.

But Moon Shadow cannot bleed, and even whether it can feel pain is an unknown in the eyes of Raven.

"Honkai energy, this disgusting thing is really powerful. It can make you burst out with such strength."

The kick that was faster than the sound of the waves was even more terrifying than the charged punch. The moment it hit the person, it was almost like a head-on blow to the intellect, causing terrible cracks in the soul and taking away the remaining light in the pupils.

"But unfortunately, you are indeed quite biased in your studies, Miss Raven. Your physical strength alone can certainly make you stand out in the outside world, but your mental fragility dooms you to be weak in this mortal world."

Injury for injury, or perhaps it was just her own wishful thinking. Where the muscles and bones were cut, the parts of Moon Shadow's body clearly had illusory shadows, and the tricky Honkai energy turned into an invisible moon in the water, reversing the boundaries of reality and illusion.

The crackling sound of electricity was heard behind him. Moon Shadow showed a look of realization, and after his arms and limbs recovered to normal, he turned around slowly and faced the Honkai Beast, whose strength was poor.

"Miss Catherine, what a shame! In your current state, you're not even qualified to be a mold."

Without using any more physical attacks, Moon Shadow, who already knew the extent of his own strength, looked calmly at the Honkai Beast as it got closer and closer, and then gently made a goodbye gesture.

"Goodbye."

The part of the field covering the surroundings was revealed, exposing the light brought by the shrine that was covered in the past. In an instant, the Honkai beast at the edge of the field felt the attacks from both sides at the moment of its lights going out and its oil running out.

The blue flames began to burn its body, as if to burn it as a sacrifice in a hidden area. The field of the Moon Shadow, combined with the mysterious magic, continuously penetrated into its body, annihilating all the collapse energy purely by the difference in size.

"Now it's your turn, Jackal. What a pity! We could have been good friends. There's a scent about you that we both like."

She approached the jackal at the gate step by step, and the shadow-like field began to move, binding her body one by one like a spider web. At this moment, Moon Shadow noticed something was wrong.

"You didn't run away, but waited here for the gray snake. It seems like you still have something to rely on."

Bad thoughts emerged in her mind like a chain, and the rationality called wisdom began to suppress her innate bad nature. Moon Shadow tried to abandon her physical form to escape, but the house that she had penetrated like a sieve suddenly felt as unshakable as a mountain.

No matter how hard she tried, the fact that she couldn't leave here was still like the sun hanging high in the sky, illuminating the vast land without darkness.

"Those who are sure of victory shouldn't show such an expression. Impatience and irritability are obstacles to the summit of wisdom and are always the signs of a loser."

With one hand on his waist, the Jackal calmly watched Moon Shadow, who looked no different from Raven, display an exasperated expression that he had never seen on Raven before, and he laughed out loud with a happy mood.

"But I have to say, this suits you very well."

"It seems that I came back at the right time."

An unexpected sound was heard in the hotel, and with it came a solemn and inviolable pressure, which instantly suppressed Yue Zhiying's so-called field back into her body.

The lobby on the first floor returned to its original appearance. All elements belonging to the moon were expelled by the powerful mental force. At this moment when the silver mist was gone, the holy blue fireworks once again emitted transparent light from the candlelight, illuminating the damaged houses and mechas around.

The jackal looked closely and saw that the person who walked into the door with the gray snake was a "native" who looked to be in a high position of power. It had a sacred white body, like the white snow tops on the snowy mountains, full of abundant vitality, as if it was not an iron man made of steel, but a living human being.

Phew, it seems the Gray Snake has found some help. I just don't know how we can repay its help after we have used all the Honkai Energy Crystals in combat.

Amidst the ups and downs, all kinds of strange thoughts ran through the Jackal's head, and even the idea of ​​working to pay off debts lingered in his mind for more than a moment.

"Well, it seems I can't escape. What a pity..."

Just as she was about to say something regretful, the cunning Moon Shadow suddenly launched an attack. She suddenly rushed forward under the overwhelming pressure, and every inch of her progress caused a sound like bones breaking inside her. But despite this, she still carried a resolute murderous intent, and burst out with a murderous intent that the assassin had never seen in her life.

"It's the same idea as the Master. Not only you, but also the existence behind you needs to be disciplined before you can understand what the order here really means to you."

Cold words came out from between her rosy lips. Also when she was silent, one silver-grey thread after another suddenly lit up from all over the house, and suddenly cut her body into pieces at high speed. The degree of tragedy was almost to the point of "being all over the floor".

The sharp silk thread tore through Moon Shadow's body and severely damaged her spirituality. The thread that could interfere with the control of the spiritual body was like an extension of Ochis's arm in her hand, and in an instant it was woven into a dense network, gathering all the fragments and forming a ball of silver-gray light.

This is the essence of Moon Shadow, and the evidence that she is still alive. But now that she has fallen into Ochis's hands, it means that she can no longer cause trouble.

"sharp."

Jackal gave a brief comment, with a unique gleam in her eyes. She had long had a scientific research heart to explore the magical skills of the indigenous people to the bottom of their hearts.

"I'll leave the rest of the matter to you. After the major debugging event is completed, you will bring people to the Holy Temple. There, I will cooperate with you in performing this drama."

The arrangements after Ochis's concise narration were similar to her changed appearance. The language she spoke was translated into the difficult language of the indigenous people by the mechanism of real dreams when it entered the medium called the world, and was selectively revealed to outsiders.

The gray snake said goodbye respectfully, and after this unexpected incident, the jackal, who was safe and sound, asked about the identity of the native and their situation.

"He is the abbot of this holy temple, the spokesperson for the ancestral spirits, and a great shaman who has never appeared in the world."

"Our current situation is like an ant in a hot pot. To survive, it's not the ant's behavior that matters, but when the pot cools down."

The gray snake replied in this way, with a mysterious temperament that was very much like a riddler, which made the jackal silently clench his fists.

"speak English!"

She shouted angrily.

338. Waterfront

The gray snake began to speak human language.

"What I mean is that this settlement is currently experiencing some problems, and no one is allowed to leave for the time being. Only after the matter is resolved will we have the opportunity to communicate with the host."

"Of course, the premise is that we can still survive this incident."

After saying that, the gray snake began its rescue work in the lobby on the first floor, no longer paying attention to the confused jackal.

On the other side, on the way to the high temple, Ochis walked quietly, gazing at the bound moon shadow held in his hand, or the moon demon that had developed rationality.

The radiation fluctuations that confuse people's hearts and the cold moon in the sky complement each other. The mysterious connection brings continuous support along the cause and effect between the origin and the followers, which really makes this Yin God have some of the charm of "the shadow of the cold moon on the ground".

A type of spiritual life form that has a particularly deep connection with the virtual celestial bodies. In other words, in subsequent events, this type of group will be the one that needs attention.

Continuous thoughts flashed through Ochis's mind, like one thread after another, intertwined and finally leading to a perfect ending. In this regard, the puppet girl would be willing to give her master a satisfactory answer as before.

The girl's frail figure walked into the high temple, and stepped through the main hall's gate into the hall filled with ethereal meaning. Under the columns covered with ivy, she placed this interesting individual under the presiding altar, and then stood on the altar to connect the core of this node.

In an instant, the girl's spirit began to expand, freed from her tiny body, and lofty enough to take in all the scenes outside the settlement.

Things like the cold moon that was so huge that it occupied the entire starry sky and the endless gloomy forest all sent targeted attacks to her. Even if it was an instinctive reaction, the chaotic fluctuations were enough to affect Ochis in her normal state.

However, now she is exploring with the help of the node itself. The great magic set up in the node and constructing the node is also with her. At the moment of impact, wisps of colorless breeze blow from the virtual space, carrying these things that should not be settled in the node to an unknown distance.

If you look closely, you will find that the things that make up the colorless breeze are the magic runes that Sera had drawn at the node before. The thousands of words contain the mysteries of wind.

"Xilin, what are you nervous about?"

Sera noticed that Xilin didn't even eat snacks very often, and she didn't understand why for a moment. When she was confused, she paid a little attention and finally understood why Xilin was nervous.

"Oh, don't worry. Ochis is the last one you need to worry about. Whether she succeeds or fails, it won't be a bad thing if we leave this matter to her."

As she spoke, Sera used a small silver spoon to stir the fragrant black tea. As she watched the ripples form in circles, soothing waves also appeared in her bright eyes.

"It's not that I don't trust Ochis, but the task you gave me, Sera, is really hard to do. Those things that require maximum mental interference are really disgusting. I'm really worried that Ochis will suffer in this regard."

Although she was dressed like a dazzling young girl, wearing a cute long skirt and delicate white stockings on her fair legs, Xilin behaved like a mother who was worried about her child. Such a disparity made Sera label Xilin as an old mother.

A straightforward and lovely old mother. Haha, why do these two words feel like they don’t fit at all?

With a curved eyebrow and a sip of black tea, Sera cleverly concealed the smile that was caused by her concern for Xilin, just as she said.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Ochis has always been the least worrying child. Although there is a possibility of failure, Sera actually knows that with the child's methods, the possibility of failure is no higher than the chance of winning the lottery.

"Don't even think about helping, Xilin. A child's growth is inevitable. If you secretly help Ochis, I'll make you pay later."

Sera put down the teacup with a smile, and the silver-white cup made a crisp sound when it hit the saucer. The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough to reach people's hearts.

"You're so cruel to the child, Sera."

Sensing the threat, even though it sounded weak and even made Xilin want to know what it meant, the purple-haired girl still stopped watching and cast a helpless look at Sera across the tea table.

"How can I be so cruel? If something really happened to Ochis, I would definitely arrive at the scene before you."

Sera was still smiling, and her trust and love for the child were revealed on the girl's face. When Xilin saw it, her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.

Gu... It's a bit unfair for Sera to be like this.

How should I put it? The friend I spend my daily time with suddenly has a more touching maternal nature after growing up. The excitement of having someone who can be treated as both a friend and a mother (Vision Cecilia) makes Xilin a little excited.

Of course, the proud and arrogant purple-haired girl would never reveal such taboo thoughts. In her opinion, even if they were good friends, such thoughts would be too much. She was afraid that only when the relationship was elevated from friendship would there be a possibility of revealing such thoughts.

"Hmm? Forget it, Xilin, if you want to look at Ochis, then look at Ochis, but don't think of anything weird in your mind. Don't forget that with our relationship, I can see your little thoughts at the slightest mistake."

Sera blinked, and suddenly uttered these words full of meaning to Xilin, then began to stir the tea with a spoon. Her absent-minded eyes seemed to pass over the blushing and panicked Xilin and looked at a distant place.

"Sera, you...you didn't understand what I was thinking. I didn't mean to..."

A hurried explanation would only bring more embarrassment, but the kind-hearted Sera did not embarrass Xilin too much at this moment. She just maintained her gentle and calm posture, holding up her lovely face in the gentle breeze.

"What are you talking about, Celine?"

"I didn't actually notice anything just now."

"After all, everyone needs a little privacy, right?"

She smiled gently at the tea party. Although Sera was younger than Xilin in terms of height, Sera was better than Xilin in handling relationships.

But I'll wait for you when you can muster up the courage.

After all, from the very beginning, it was just the two of us who depended on each other.
