"Incredible attack power..." This was the thought of all the St. Freya High School students watching Li Xuan's fight at this moment...
With just one man and one sword, he managed to fight his way up to the 30th floor of the 'Abyss' relying on the golden sword. Even the Praetorian Commander couldn't withstand the attack of that longsword... Many students began to take notice of this only male student at St. Freya High School...
"...Damn it, Li Xuan is amazing. How did he get so strong?!..." A certain white-haired furball said, looking unhappily at the person on the field... Didn't this just overshadow her own glorious moment from earlier?!
Sigh, so annoying... Kiana turned her head unhappily to look at Mei beside her, wanting to act spoiled, but she suddenly noticed Mei staring at Li Xuan on the stage in astonishment... Her cheeks puffed up.
'This, isn't this... Hokushin Itto-ryu?!' Mei looked at Li Xuan's hand movements in disbelief, finding it hard to believe. After all, Hokushin Itto-ryu had always been passed down through the Raiden family line and would never be taught to an outsider... She had never revealed even a single move or technique, so... how could it be...
At this moment, Li Xuan was in no mood to think about what others were thinking... He had relied on the sharpness and power of the Xuanyuan Sword itself, as well as the various evasion techniques of 'Hokushin Itto-ryu', to struggle his way up to the 30th floor as if walking on a tightrope...
That was also why he was now dead tired... After all, without wearing the 'Xuanyuan Festive Garb', if he were to stand and fight, a single arrow from the 'Knight-Captain Honkai Zombie' would definitely be excruciatingly painful...
"There's no other way..." Li Xuan looked helplessly at the pile of Honkai Zombies in front of him. There were over thirty of them, like some kind of perverted lineup, including four elite Honkai Zombies...
"It's time to take a good rest and conserve my energy..." Li Xuan glanced at the slowly approaching Honkai Zombies and sighed... He switched the golden longsword 'Xuanyuan Sword' from his right hand to his left, then reached out with his right hand and made a half-grasping motion in the air...
In the next moment... a blue jester box appeared in his right hand... the six-star divine weapon—'Seele's Toy Box'.
"What's that?" Murata Himeko looked at the screen, at the somewhat cute blue box that suddenly appeared in a certain male's hand, and turned to ask with a puzzled expression.
"..... A remarkable item," Theresa said with a sigh. As expected, he was going to use this... I should prepare as well...
"Deploy! Horn of Heimdall!" Li Xuan touched the blue box in front of him, casually chose a form, and said softly. The box flickered with a faint white glow and turned into a pool of liquid. Then, in the next moment, a turret with dark gold outer armor and a barrel shimmering with a black metallic sheen appeared in front of him...
Information was transmitted from his right hand touching the turret... Six-star placeable weapon [Horn of Heimdall], ammo capacity of six shells, can be fired manually, can only shoot in a straight line... After exhausting the shells, it takes ten minutes to reload...
"These limitations are really annoying..." Li Xuan said with a bitter smile and a complaint. Only six shells... and the turret can't even turn freely, it can only shoot in a straight line...
"..." Li Xuan hesitated slightly. He gritted his teeth, looked at the Honkai Zombies that were almost upon him, and fiercely raised the Xuanyuan Sword, making a small cut on his own arm...
"Hiss.... ow, ow..." Li Xuan accidentally used too much force, and the Xuanyuan Sword made the small cut on his arm a little too deep.... Of course, the effect was quite outstanding. Bright red blood instantly dripped from Li Xuan's arm...
"Why is that guy, Li Xuan, self-harming?" Kiana asked with a puzzled look at Li Xuan's figure.
"..... No, that's not self-harm..." Mei frowned and said. Li Xuan definitely wouldn't self-harm... So, that should be.... "His intention is..." Mei's eyes lit up as she suddenly thought of something and said with a realization, "I see..."
Honkai Zombies are born from the [Honkai], tasked with cleansing the world according to the 'Will of God'... so they instinctively attack all living things... and humans are naturally the first to bear the brunt... Therefore, Honkai Zombies also have a 'bloodthirsty nature'.
Li Xuan remembered seeing this in the first-year textbook at St. Freya High School, [Evolution of Honkai Creatures]... If he was not mistaken... the system would also take this into account...
"Roar!~" Except for the elite Honkai Zombies who were slightly calmer, the other Guardian Honkai Zombies went berserk, waving their arms, their scythes even accidentally injuring their companions around them, but they didn't care at all... They swarmed towards Li Xuan... This was also a hidden characteristic of Honkai Zombies—'Berserk'.
"..." Li Xuan tightly gripped the barrel handles of the 'Horn of Heimdall'... a trace of excitement on his face as he watched the Honkai Zombies pounce towards him, now only thirty centimeters away....
"Wanna fly, bro?... heheh~" Li Xuan revealed a slight smile and said seriously to the Honkai Zombie in front of him, which carried a faint smell of decay...
"Bang! Boom!" The black-gold barrel roared like a black dragon... It flew up, and then... and then there was no then...
..................
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away from St. Freya High School, a huge aerial battleship broke through the clouds and flew rapidly across the sky. As it flew, the entire battleship began to slowly disappear from front to back. This was Anti-Entropy's optical camouflage technology.
"Have they set out yet?..." In the somewhat dim command room of the battleship, Cocolia, with her long, wavy golden hair, asked the adjutant standing beside her in a soft voice...
"Yes, ma'am... the assault team has departed." Xiyue said softly. "They have already entered the planned ambush zone. They are just waiting for the target to arrive. Xing. Ma'er has assured that she will definitely retrieve that item."
"Has the construction of the [Space Gate] begun?" Cocolia's sharp eyes stared at Xiyue like a beast, she said. That was a crucial part of the plan, a technology from headquarters.
"Yes... it has begun. According to the schedule... there shouldn't be any problem." Xiyue said in a small voice, holding a stack of documents and avoiding Cocolia's gaze.
"....Mm." Cocolia responded with satisfaction. She looked up at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window and said as if sighing, "For... my daughter..."
"Now we just have to wait for the prey to fall into the trap, and then awaken..."
