As the noon sun shone down warmly, Li Xuan watched in shock as a window on the large building in front of him suddenly shattered. The transparent glass shards sparkled like starlight in the sunlight, and a huge golden cross fell from the broken window…
Isn't that 'Judah's Oath'?! Li Xuan's attention was completely focused on that huge cross. For him, who had always used 'Seele's Toy Box' transformed into 'Judah's Oath' as his main weapon, he was all too familiar with what Judah looked like.
The 'Judah's Oath' in mid-air right now was even larger than his Judah…
"Master!" Liv, who was standing next to Li Xuan, suddenly pointed in panic at a figure in mid-air and said loudly, "A child is falling down with it!"
"What?!…" Li Xuan came back to his senses and followed Liv's finger to see a small figure in a black and white nun's habit next to the golden cross.
"Not good!…" Li Xuan's heart tightened. A fall from such a height would definitely result in injury… He rushed out without thinking, almost as a reflex. The silver emblem on his collar, 'Gale Arts (High Tier)', instantly brought his speed to ten meters per second, a cool breeze rising from under his heavily stepping feet.
"Whoosh!~" Li Xuan gently exhaled as his body, in its enhanced state, leaped high. He extended his hands in mid-air to catch the falling petite figure in his arms, landing like a nimble leopard.
"Clang, bang!" The huge golden cross collided with the bluestone ground of Senba Academy, making a crisp metallic sound. The hard bluestone bricks instantly cracked and shattered, forming a sizable pit.
"…" Li Xuan hesitated slightly before reaching out and gently removing the hood from the child's head. Underneath the hood was a delicate and lovely fair face, with a head of fluffy, faintly fragrant white long hair tied in a side ponytail that hung down to her chest.
The result was obvious…
"A little loli fell from the sky!~" Li Xuan's eyes widened as he looked at the certain legal white-haired loli in his arms and muttered to himself.
"Mmm~" The unconscious loli nun in his arms seemed to frown.
"Be careful, Master!" Liv and Yae Sakura ran towards Li Xuan, Liv shouting loudly.
"What's wrong?…" Li Xuan came back to his senses, confused. His body was enveloped in a shadow… It was a vine monster descending from the sky…
"Hahaha… A few more little guys have snuck in… I'll deal with you first~" the girl, whose body was entwined with countless vines, said with a laugh. She waved her hand in mid-air, shooting out several spear-like vines towards Li Xuan.
"Who are you?!…" Li Xuan hurriedly retreated to dodge the other party's vine attack, asking with a grave expression. To be able to speak like a person… but it doesn't look human… Is it a person or a Honkai Zombie?!
"Me?!…" The other party was stunned for a moment, then showed a somewhat ferocious smile and said, "I am 'God' (Honkai)!… Hehe hahaha~"
"…" Li Xuan looked speechlessly at the other party. 'God'?… More like 'psycho'!? Li Xuan glanced with a complicated expression at the gray-haired girl in front of him who was clutching her head and laughing wildly.
"Ahem… Since we have no grievances, why don't we put down…" Li Xuan tried to mediate, not wanting to fight this unknown girl… But before he could finish his words, the other party laughed loudly and waved her hand, releasing several thorny vines to attack him…
"Do we have to resort to fighting at the slightest disagreement…" Li Xuan, relying on 'Gale Arts (High Tier)', barely managed to dodge the vine attacks.
"Die! You pest!" Seemingly angered by Li Xuan's dodging, the girl suddenly shot out more than a dozen blood-colored vines, sealing off Li Xuan's escape routes.
"Oh no, Master is in danger!" Liv said in a panic. But she was currently holding Yaoye and had no time to help Li Xuan, so she could only look at Yae Sakura beside her.
"Mm, don't worry…" Yae Sakura noticed Liv's worried gaze, nodded, and gently gripped the hilt of the blade at her waist. Her long legs bent slightly, and the Herrscher Core inside her began to operate, continuously transporting Honkai energy throughout her body to enhance it.
"Swish!" Yae Sakura's body shot out like an arrow from a bow. The dust kicked up by her feet was carried away by the wind she generated, and a pair of fox ears once again sprouted from her head.
"Swish! Swish!" The bewitching blade, with the sound of cutting through the air from its high-speed movement, sliced through the vines in front of her, which were as hard as steel.
"…Phew~ Sakura, thanks." Li Xuan said with a sigh of relief. He was currently holding the little loli and really didn't have the energy to use a weapon. Besides, the seven-star weapon 'Tyr's Warblade' hadn't finished charging yet.
"Mm~ You don't have to thank me, Li Xuan-kun." Yae Sakura shook her head and said with a smile, "This is what I should do…"
"Li Xuan-kun protects me, so I should protect Li Xuan-kun too."
"Hahahaha!~" The girl entwined in vines laughed loudly. "I didn't expect to meet a 'kindred spirit' just like me!~"
"…" Yae Sakura pursed her lips, her long, slender hand gripping the Spirit Blade-Sakurafubuki unconsciously tightening.
"Shut up, you psycho!" Li Xuan glanced at the somewhat downcast expression on Yae Sakura beside him, feeling a pang of heartache. He shouted at the girl entwined in vines, and along with his words came a five-star weapon, the 'M84 Flashbang'…
"Thump!" The rather inconspicuous purple grenade was thrown by Li Xuan in front of the girl entwined in vines, making a dull thud… The next moment, a bright light that could outshine the sun flashed intensely.
"Ugh!~ My eyes…" The girl entwined in vines temporarily lost her vision in the sudden bright light.
A few seconds later, when she opened her eyes again, the 'pests' in front of her were gone.
"Oh my, the bugs have all run away… But the poison on my vines will still make that little brat speechless~" The girl entwined in vines seemed unconcerned, like a person who encounters a group of ants and doesn't care whether they get stepped on or not…
"Next… I will gather more energy and cleanse this filthy world!" The girl once again showed a ferocious smile. She stroked the vines that coiled around her like snakes and said.
Herrschers… their mission is to destroy the world.
