A long night has ended.
It was true.
However, it was retive to the most dangerous being withiy of Justice.
Psshk-!
Psshk-!
Zoom-!
A blur blitzed through aire street in one go. With a single jump, Aleph raight to where a tempr-css beast resent. The momentum of more than fifty meters high jump left no room for it to react.
Psshk-!
The greatswords’ broad bde fell from its head. It was immediately severed in half.
{Result: Within the one hundred meter radius, there are a total of twenty-seven tempr-css, eighty-nine chariot-css, two hundred and fifty seraph css…}
Great Sage gave out a detailed report. Aleph read it as he sprinted past another block. Silver fshes occurred near his location—an indicator how much his [Seven Swords] were used. As long as it does not exceed two seds, Aleph could ‘recall’ them into the spa his hand. It turned into his only means of ung led attacks. Coupled with his Ratio Teique, their hard sili shells weren't a problem.
This time, the Nitro Crystal in his hand was repced with Durandal, the unbreakable sword. He still couldn’t use it properly, though it doesn’t prevent him from utilizing its sheer durability.
{Result: There is one reading belonging to a human.}
The girl’s cold voice made Aleph reroute his path. When he saw that following the road was quite slow, he simply smmed through buildings.
Bam-!
Bam-!
Bam-!
A human-shaped hole was left in each pce he went through. Silver lights fshed all around him, representing all six bdes pierg through honkai beasts and undeads.
By the time he arrived, he saw whom the vital signal beloo.
It was a young girl. A piece of rebar pierced through her abdomen. She was inside a colpsed building all this time.
‘Was it twenty kilometers..? Thirty pert of the city was lost…’
The aftermath of their fight fshed in his mind. The ter of a major honkai eruption ehere weren’t many survivors left. All humans within that viity would immediately turn into an undead due to the honkai siess. It was the same with Aleph’s case before. It only took half a mio turn thirty to forty pert of an urban city into a city of the dead.
That was the main reason h didn’t have any trouble taining the herrscher. There weren’t any humans alive around them to begin with. Interrupting her ‘power’ that turns more thahousand square kilometers—the ey—into id was the only thing he had to do for damage trol.
“Alright. You must be luow. I will be introdug myself…”
While Aleph eained the half-alive girl, he ly cut the excess part of the rebar through his ratio teique. Blood kept spilling out from her wound.
Then, he did the exact opposite of what most responders would do—pull her body out from the protrusion.
Psshk-!
The moment he did so, her bleeding status turned for the worse.
“You won’t die here. Remember this.”
Fizzle-!
An imaginary sound appeared as the nature of his cursed energy was altered. The extreme ives cshed, f a kind of positive cursed energy. It immediately supplemehe girl’s entire body, letting the bloody wound close on its own.
This time, Aleph did not leave the half deliberately. Great Sage was running in the background to check the girl’s status.
It took two minutes before it ended.
Unlike before, the girl was truly sleeping.
‘She… She looks like Kira..?’
For a moment, Aleph doesn’t know whether he was being pyed by fate. The girl looked like one of the Valkyries he knew… in the Current Era, that is.
‘If she joins Fire MOTH thinking it’s an idol club or something…’
With a sigh, he lifted her on his shoulders.
Unlike before, he only jumped from one rooftop to ahe killing through his [Seven Swords] remained.
‘I really need a led attack…’
Aleph’s thoughts briefly went to the dozen or so notifications from [Achievement Hunter]. It was, by far, the biggest amount of achievements he got uhirty minutes.
Even now, it was still ting.
Coupled with the things he learhe RCT trick to heal mental exhaustion from Elemental Sight to the soul-seizing Bck Fsh—it was a bumper harvest.
It didn’t take long for Aleph to make half a round on the most affected area. He took more than fifteen minutes hopping from one rooftop to another, killing all the undeads and honkai beasts he found.
‘Dropping the greatsword works… as long as you do it in the right position.’
His funny thoughts ehere.
Chuff-!
Chuff-!
Chuff-!
The sound of helicopter rotors came from above him. He saw his metal suit along with Anna ed in a spaket. It was quite a far cry from his treatment with the girl on his shoulders. Though, he did operate the reversed curse teique in intervals to make sure the girl was fine. She was, after all, the sole survivor within the ‘severe’-rated danger zone of a major honkai eruption.
“Lo and behold! From tens of thousands of meters away, I am driving this big guy!”
“...The budget cut was a necessary character development.” Aleph gave an expression of seeing a good thing for once. “You won’t crash it, will you?”
“Of course not! You know, I finished flight school ihan two months!”
Others might think she was joking, but Aleph took her seriously. Vill-V wasn’t decorated as one of the best prodigies in the Previous Era—even slightly better than Mobius—for nothing.
Givetention ced into the right things, she could make a miracle.
“Eh? There’s a survivor? The readings here are no joke. It’s… hm… ohousand seven hundred. honkai watts.”
“That’s why miracles exist.”
Although it artly due to his skill that he discovered her, the girl’s extremely high honkai resistance couldn’t be factored out.
Soon, the mini aircraft carrier hovered above the rooftop. Aleph took one jump to nd inside. He looked at Anna’s body and saw that she was “silver white”.
‘Her soul’s back to normal…’
It started after he learhe soul-seizing Bck Fsh. His Elemental Sight captured a brahing’. It was simir to when he learned how to properly use it for the first time.
If willed by him, he would be able to see metallic lights. Both the girl and the current Anna were in the silver white state. Aleph also saw bits of murky purple staining Anna’s silver white light. With his attack, this purple bits gradually gathered at one point as the spread stopped. Its e with Anna was nearly lost, only remaining due to the Herrscher Core inside her.
“Sigh…”
In the end, he made a choice.
“I swept through half of the severe area. You returellite feed to normal.”
“Alright. Direei also asked me to do so now. The ransfer ships should arrive here in five more minutes.”
Looking at the ruined city below him, the image of war overpped in his sight once again.
