"If that shot actually hits, I'll wear a dress." Dressed in the divine Xuanyuan Festive Garb, Li Xuan once again shouldered the five-star Divine Weapon, Tyr's Wrist, which was almost as tall as he was and looked completely out of place. "Looks like it's still up to me," Li Xuan thought, taking aim at Melk.
Just then... the bullet that Kiana had fired randomly... flew past a telephone pole on the side of the road, creating sparks as it scraped against it. Its angle slightly altered and its momentum significantly reduced, the bullet continued its flight, glancing off a metal trash can by the road, losing more momentum and changing its trajectory again. Then... the bullet flew towards an abandoned iron wok on the ground. The azure bullet, with microscopic precision, entered the wok and miraculously skidded along its inner surface for a full circle, leaving a deep groove before flying out in another direction.
"ROAR!" Melk roared at the sky like a lion.
"Bronya's system analysis concludes... the crystal on the tentacle monster Melk's head is its energy center, emitting Honkai energy fluctuations. Recommending targeting the crystal." Bronya once again demonstrated her capability as an all-purpose assistant, quickly analyzing the enemy's weak point.
"Alright! I'll..." Li Xuan was just about to shoulder Tyr's Wrist and fire again when—
Clink! Crack~
Suddenly, the tentacle monster Melk, which had been brandishing its claws just a second ago, froze on the spot as if its body had been hollowed out. On its forehead, Li Xuan's target, the dark blue crystal, now had a deep bullet hole surrounded by a dense web of cracks. The crystal had shattered.
The tentacle monster Melk collapsed with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"What's going on?!" Li Xuan stared blankly at Melk, who had collapsed for no reason. He was completely bewildered. I already dropped my pants—no, I mean, I already raised my cannon, and this is what you show me?! Nobody even attacked it!
Uh... except for that one shot Kiana fired earlier.
The tentacle monster Melk, now lying on the ground, suddenly began to melt like ice, turning into a puddle of clear water.
Li Xuan rushed forward, running into the puddle and directly picking up the crystal, which was now almost shattered into pieces. Li Xuan took a look, and in the center of the crystal's bullet hole was... a bullet.
'Ahhh! I'm on my knees! This is possible?!' Seeing this, Li Xuan's whole world felt wrong. Was Kiana Kaslana the child of the plane itself?!
"Ahhh!!!" The voice of the 'child of the plane', Kiana, rang in Li Xuan's ears.
"Li Xuan! This bottle of water can talk!" Kiana pointed at a glass bottle in the puddle of water with a panicked expression. Water can talk?! How could something so stupid be possible—
"Ah~ I'm so dizzy~" The clear water in the glass bottle transformed into a young girl, who said this while rubbing her head.
"..." Mom, the water can talk!! Li Xuan was going crazy. It felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his mind.
