A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

She watched helplessly as the land, which looked dark under the setting sun, got closer and closer to her, but at the moment of reaching it, she performed an anti-physical turn, completely leaving inertia behind with an extraordinary technique performed by her vibrating wings. Immediately, Tia brought Sera to the command post on the ground.

The building was simply built of wood and looked no different from an ordinary house except that it was enchanted with magic. A group of sages had been waiting outside the door, and they all looked at Sera with admiration when she landed.

"This child's future achievements are limitless."

There was a tendency among the perceptive sages to envy Thrandal. As for the elven sage who had inexplicably gotten a good disciple, some sages who had not yet found a good seedling even jokingly asked Thrandal if he could give him up.

"Haha, then I'll teach you a few ways to find disciples later."

Thrandal smiled and denied his companions' jokes. Looking at the good disciple who was coming over, he felt that his previous choice of disciple was really a good one. He not only found a good successor, but also let the forest enter a new era.

"Teacher, and fellow sages, I am here to represent the Earth itself in the subjugation of the alien species. Compared to the incarnations of the four seasons, the Origin Beast is more capable of confronting the alien species head-on, creating opportunities for your attacks."

Calm and composed under the gaze of sages, some tall, some short, some young, some old, Sera's clear and coherent speech explained the cause and effect clearly, placing a heavy chip on the battlefield of the war between the forest and the alien species.

"You've arrived just in time, but the specific battle plan still needs to be discussed. The new alien species is no ordinary one. Even with the Origin Beast and the Four Seasons Avatar as a deterrent, we still need a powerful means of breakthrough."

The speaker was a dwarf sage dressed in gold and silver. His short stature was surrounded by a heavy temperament that had been accumulated over the years, and his steady voice revealed an extraordinary sense of power.

"Tia, the specially forged sword will be delivered soon. You must be prepared next."

"I understand. I will lead the fairies in taking care of the security work."

After the windless wings flashed by, the glorious fairy Valkyrie, the leader of a fairy tribe, left. The clear light path was shining in the dim sunset red, like fireflies in summer.

Sera followed her teacher into the simple command post, where the forest sages, the leaders of the tribes and the elected forest king could quickly exchange information. Even in other areas of the battle line, the magic of light and shadow could achieve delay-free projection communication.

A great owl with white feathers, an ancient dragon with smooth scales, a werewolf with a steady face... numerous images stood here, and they all cast concerned glances at Sera when she walked into the command post.

"Let me introduce you all. This is Thrandal's disciple, the spokesperson for the earth. The previous revelation of the stars was also due to her. From now on, Sera will participate in the battle discussions as one of the main attackers."

"Youth is a formidable thing."

"So it's the earth's miko, I see."

Everyone understood, and saw the towering giant beast of origin on every front line. For a moment, all the leaders had no objection to Sera's joining.

"Before finalizing our plan, we'll need to carefully research the strengths and weaknesses of the alien species."

He said he wanted to study it again, but it was more to let Sera, who had just arrived, understand the situation clearly. The Forest King's words were light, but detailed and orderly. When dusk completely turned into night, Sera had already understood the situation of the alien species clearly.

【Earth-splitting alien species】.

If he were to be described using the cards from his previous life, this was undoubtedly him, a moving guillotine. Every part of his body was imbued with the terrifying concept of slashing. His extraordinary strength was enough to cut through magic and anything that came close. And those giant sickle feet, which had only been used a few times, could perhaps even cut through space, according to discussions among the sages.

So the question is, facing the slashing attack that even the Four Seasons Incarnations cannot resist, can the Origin Beast launch an effective counterattack while holding on, and provide opportunities for the residents to carry out targeted attacks by various means.

"no problem."

Sera said without hesitation that even if she saw the samples dropped by the alien species, she was sure that the Origin Beast could withstand the attack of the alien species.

"As long as it stands on the earth, the Origin Beast will not lose. Even the most terrifying slash cannot completely decapitate the endless earth."

71. Warm Night

It took a long time to agree on a plan. After the experienced elders discussed every aspect of the plan in great detail, they dispersed and passed down what needed to be done one level at a time.

Fortunately, Sera does not need to do these tedious things. As a main attacker in a sense, she only needs to complete her task in the attack tomorrow morning.

That night, fireflies, lights, and flames each occupy their own place in the darkness, reflecting the residents' lives. The quiet atmosphere transforms into a tranquil breeze, blowing away the day's tension and allowing everyone to enjoy a good night's sleep.

However, Sera did not plan to rest. For her, this was a very meaningful night. If she just slept through it, she would not have a deep memory of it.

Walking outside the command post, blue eyes stared at the clearly defined battle lines. Sera watched as the grass and trees retreated from the area that imprisoned the alien species, making the yellow soil and green grass distinct. Temporary dwellings of various shapes were built around them, making the barren land less lonely.

The fragrant smell naturally rushed into her nose. Following the deliberate aroma attack of the store owner, Sera sensed that it was a familiar face and walked briskly. After a while, in the bright light, she saw the small stall filled with boiling hot steam.

The light food stall, transformed from a cart, stews vegetables collected from the surrounding area without any cover. The gurgling sound of bubbles and the bright light that is out of tune with the night are the proprietress's signature signs to attract people.

Of course, it also contains spices with an exclusive formula, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a fragrance that spreads for miles.

"Tons, tons, tons."

The sturdy rhino man drank the sweet and refreshing wine heroically, patted his belly and walked away, with a look of satisfaction clearly visible on his face.

"Hozumi-san, why are you here doing business?"

In stark contrast to the elegant and graceful demeanor of the hotel, the proprietress, dressed in the attire of a kitchen chef, sat behind the steaming stall. Bathed in the light, her appearance combined the competence of a chef with the clear beauty of a woman.

Seeing the familiar new customer, Hozumi immediately handed over a full round cup of "Forest Concoction". The dark purple color was filled with the sweet aroma of various fruits that the fairies had painstakingly incorporated into it.

"Recent sales have been stagnant, and the hotel industry in the forest is starting to decline."

"If I hadn't thought about developing new business, I might have starved to death in the hotel one day."

The tone was as sweet as ever, and even when he was complaining, there was no resentment in his voice. Ysela saw that he was probably joking.

The inhabitants of the forest may face difficulties for various reasons, but it is ridiculous to think that they starve to death due to lack of food.

Wait a moment.

"Are shock and fear necessary for a raccoon, Sister Hozumi?"

Sera, who had gained more experience, already knew what the proprietress had charged for accommodation, so she asked about it when she remembered it.

"It's a necessity. If you don't have it, you'll get depressed, and when you get depressed, your skin will get wrinkled. And when your skin gets wrinkled, you'll be too embarrassed to see people, and eventually all your social interactions will be cut off."

"This is the most horrific death for me, my sister."

The large casserole of stew was picked up by a pair of nimble raccoon hands and placed on the inside of the stall without fear of the heat. After speaking happily, Hozumi took out several small plates and served forest vegetable soup to Sera and other guests.

The werewolf, who looked nothing like a vegetarian because of his lush hair, showed a calmness that was completely different from his ferocious appearance after entering the store. He even drank the soup made entirely of vegetables and fruits in one gulp, and at the end he did not forget to smack his lips, emitting a wonderfully fragrant and hot air from his mouth.

Then, the werewolf took out the rose-red flower from his waist pocket as the meal fee, and then walked away in a swagger.

The little dragon that came to drink the soup left behind a small piece of clear scales, and the little leaf man that came to eat the nutritious soil ball left behind a drop of moist dew... While sitting in his seat and slowly savoring the food, Sera once again witnessed the forest's tolerance, and when the simple and fresh taste of fruits and vegetables receded from the tip of his tongue, the proprietress's smiling eyes cast over.

The blue eyes met the gentle black pupils, and then looked at the smooth plate and the clean round cup. The cute-looking girl hummed, but still left a token of the meal money.

The crystal blue mana crystal, because Sera became the agent of the earth, this little gadget also has the characteristic of being able to exist for a long time, becoming more like a sapphire that has accumulated years of time underground.

"Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to visit us next time."

Leaving the light food stall, with a subtle feeling of fullness, Sera continued her aimless wandering. Under the light of the clear moon in the sky, she walked across the entire front line, observed the imprisoned alien species from different angles, and also gained knowledge of the various tribes.

Sera declined the mighty lion's invitation and stroked the tight-furned Meowlu, feeling happy. Following the direction of the wind, her body was lifted very high, until it reached the top of the Origin Beast's head.

The power of magic dissipated, and Sera unexpectedly discovered a furry little animal above her head, which was wider than a basketball court. It had run up at some point and was nestling comfortably beside the gushing mana beam. The conical pink gem crystal on its head was reflecting a unique and gorgeous color.

The treasure of the forest, the eternal pyroxene, the sacred green gem beast! Discover!

The gradually dyed and layered fur of different colors is particularly obvious, making it look like a star animal leading the fashion trend. The fluffy tail that looks very fluffy and swings around has attracted Sera's attention.

She approached quietly, holding her breath and concentrating. Although she did not use any magic, her movements merged with nature and made no sound. Just when she was about to grab it and stroke it, the jewel beast avoided Sera's clutches with lightning speed.

"Eh?"

"Ouch."

It was not the clear howl of a wolf, but a sharp and cute cry, with a vivid vitality. The gem beast with a pair of clear obsidian eyes opened wide and its tail swung, tilting its head and staring at the cute human cub in confusion.

"..."

The strange stalemate didn't last long. The oncoming headbutt made Sera's eyes sparkle. After a while, the girl finally recovered and glared at the gem beast standing on her body. They just felt that the little beast was too heavy and needed to eat more...

Her wandering head was filled with weird ideas, and in the end, somehow, Sera became friends with the Gemmon and could gently stroke its beautiful fur.

"Woo~woo~"

The quiet night gradually passed, the brilliant sun was about to rise in the east, and the unspoken tense atmosphere also returned. In the vast and magnificent bird's-eye view, the fully armed battle line was ready.

72. Alien, Death

The first ray of light in the morning, the first ray of colorful clouds between the clouds, the beautiful scenery rises majestically from the end of the earth, illuminating the forest with lush green.

The dim compound eyes were like yesterday's sunset, with a miserable color faintly flickering in the area where space and gravity were distorted. The alien species that had been imprisoned for two days had not roared or moved. It just quietly waited for the opportunity to kill, waiting for a dawn of blood.

"Om-"

The clear and melodious roar was as thought-provoking as bells and drums. The voice of the Origin Beast set off a strong wave in the air, sending a signal to everyone who was prepared that it was in place.

Boom, boom.

It is midsummer right above his head. Summer trees filled with light and heat sway above the tree man's head, like a crown worn by him. Even though one of his arms was cut off by an alien species, he still has an inviolable majesty.

The incarnations of the four seasons approached with a roar. The two giants were taller than ordinary mountains. Just standing quietly on the earth gave the residents confidence of victory.

Once upon a time, the forest defeated the alien species that suddenly appeared from its depths.

Now, the forest will welcome the arrival of a new era with the defeat of alien species.

Magical fluctuations of varying sizes rise and fall one after another, and the vibrant energy feels like stars embedded in the woods, radiating the brilliance of stars under the rising sun.

At the core of the original beast, closest to the underground, Sera, who was fully devoted to controlling the beast, had a calm expression, and the voice from the earth echoed in her clear mind.

"Can't you take on a little more responsibility? The Origin Beast will definitely be able to handle it."

"Sera, look at the tree man next to you. He doesn't look reliable at first glance."

How should I put it? My boss has very high expectations, and if we eliminate the unrealistic key points, then it can indeed be done.

"The Origin Beast can hold on, but my human antenna will be out of service for a while."

The faint words blocked all the room for the earth to move. As her thoughts became more and more aligned with the primordial beast, Sera felt the oppression of the majestic giant on her spirit.

It's not that she is excluded. As the spokesperson of the earth, Sera's operation is naturally no problem, but it is because of the mismatch in scale that she feels the pressure of carrying a mountain.

But it is precisely the fact that the Origin Beast can function normally that illustrates the incredible resilience of Sera's spirit.

The fair cheeks nodded slightly to the tree man beside her. The body carrying the witch's mind was both solemn and powerful. After this nod, a chain reaction occurred.

The message is delivered, the personnel are in place, the nodes are lit up, and the weapons are fully equipped...

The most outstanding elf drew out the blade of light that condensed the blacksmith's painstaking efforts, and awe-inspiring mana flowed from the frost-white blade.

The spirited Gem Beast held high its head, known as the treasure of the forest, and stood beside it with many elves providing it with mana. Beneath their orderly positions was a grand magic circle connecting the entire battle line.

Everything has been prepared to the utmost. All the residents believe that defeating the alien species is not a problem, and the only thing they are concerned about is casualties.

"This crusade has only one goal."

"That means returning home alive."

Voices, some old and some loud, rang out almost simultaneously in various parts of the forest. Then, there were unusual movements within the confined area. As the supply of mana and magic power gradually flowed into the attacking structure, the distorted layers of space returned to their original state in front of the aliens.

Now, what is reflected in those many pairs of dim compound eyes is not blurry scenes, but numerous living lives, which are the perfect sacrifices to satisfy its killing urge.

In an instant, the pair of huge sickle legs swung fiercely, and the slashing blow with no visible trajectory was a desperate black. All the elements of the world, including light and atmosphere, were cut apart by the unreasonable force. The target was the original giant beast and the incarnation of the four seasons that were the first to bear the brunt.

The sharp edge touched the huge palm, and there was a feeling of numbness as if the limbs were mutilated at the first contact, as if the part of the torso that took the blow had disappeared, but in the next moment, the extremely strong body of the earth recovered from the brief stiffness, and two giant fists comparable to the collision of comets rushed over.

Boom.

Pure violence collided with the alien's full-strength slash, and atmospheric turbulence and shock waves comparable to a huge explosion suddenly appeared, creating a terrifying doomsday scene at the height of the battle between the giant beasts, shocking the residents on the ground.

The incarnation of the four seasons fell behind by a step, his remaining arms grasping the wave of destruction, with the irregular spring, summer, autumn and winter all within it. He used the chaotic ball of light as a weapon and threw it out instantly, but in a direction away from the alien species.

The next moment, the space passage hidden in the air was suddenly activated, and a chaotic ball of light slammed down from the top of the alien's head. The coordination was lightning fast and without any gaps. In the dazzling light, Seraton felt the pressure greatly reduced.

The cold and hard ice and snow slightly delayed the alien's movements, and the hot rainstorm and thunder scorched its exoskeleton. Once the substantial damage occurred, the alien looked ferociously at the immortal tree man behind the original beast, but it could not move forward even a step.

The most terrifying pair of beheading sickle feet were firmly grasped by the Origin Beast. The giant hands that were not afraid of slashing were always in a stalemate of breaking and recovering. At this moment, the mana horns that soared into the sky above the beast's head also began to brew a blazing light.

"Roar!"

A roar so sharp that it was beyond the endurance limit of normal creatures emanated from the alien's mouth. The sound waves that could also accomplish beheading immediately spread out in all directions. The ferocious impact that seemed to want to chop off all things in the universe was pure, dull black, and set off a tragic and bloody storm in the sky and on the ground, causing significant casualties among the residents.

"Don't retreat! Attack its feet!"

"Defeat it right here! For everyone in the forest!"

The will to protect is united. Shining on the tiny bodies of the alien species is the obligation of a leader and the responsibility of an elder. When the stars in the sky shine together with the creatures on the earth, the punishment from the stars has arrived.

The starry sky, hidden by the rising sun, overwhelmed the colors of the stars. All the stargazers in the forest spent two days completing this unparalleled astrological ritual, turning the vast power of the stars into a brilliant torrent, and for the first time severely damaging the alien species that were suppressed in place.

Your time of wreaking havoc in the forest is over!

The roar of the Origin Beast was as lacking in ferocity as before, but rather like turbulent water. Coordinating with everyone's actions, Sera, who controlled the body of the beast, tightly restrained the most dangerous sickle foot. A stream of light, no less powerful than starlight, also shone above the head of the Origin Beast, and then it was fiercely activated, aiming at the alien's head.

On the ground, the noble stream of light merged into the torrent of stars in the sky. The swift figure could leave even the extremely high heat behind. The shining fairy Valkyrie's sword flipped, and the inconspicuous brilliance immediately cut off a sickle foot of the alien species.
