Bella had heard a story in her previous life.
Once upon a time, there was a person who always faced difficult choices in his life, but each time he could make his decision without hesitation. Someone asked him, "When you make a choice, do you not hesitate or doubt your own decision?"
The person smiled and said, "Of course I hesitate, but whenever I hesitate, I toss a coin to decide." The questioner then asked him, "Do you decide based on whether the coin lands on heads or tails?"
The person replied, "Of course not. It's that when I toss the coin, the answer I want is already in my heart."
It was the same for Bella; what should she choose?
Looking at the options before her, Bella gently exhaled.
The moment the system task appeared, Bella already had the answer in her heart.
Looking at the Honkai Beasts already rushing towards her, Bella's eyes narrowed.
"Come on! Let me bet everything on these 15 minutes!"
Bella looked at the 10 Honkai Beasts rushing towards her and decided to start with the weaker Chariot-class Honkai Beast.
She dodged a slash from a Chariot-class Honkai Beast's wing with a sidestep, then smoothly raised her hand to grab the wing of another Chariot-class Honkai Beast attacking her.
With a strong pull, she tore off the wing, then followed with a spinning kick, sending both Honkai Beasts in front of her flying. They landed heavily on the ground, motionless, clearly beyond dead.
At the same time, a Knight-class Honkai Beast arrived in front of Bella, thrusting its spear violently towards her.
But Bella was prepared; she leaned back, doing a backflip to dodge the attack, and simultaneously pushed off the ground with both hands, creating distance between herself and the remaining Honkai Beasts.
Standing up, Bella expressionlessly threw the torn-off wing onto the ground.
"Eight left."
Time was short, so Bella decided not to passively wait for the Honkai Beasts to attack, choosing instead to take the initiative.
Pointing one hand towards the remaining Honkai Beasts, Bella channeled the Honkai energy within her body.
The previously dim four-cornered amethyst on Bella's chest lit up with an orange-red glow, and a flame appeared within it, beginning to burn fiercely.
Subsequently, wisps of flame ignited on Bella's clothes, and the feather ornaments on her head transformed into the shape of flames.
Her originally purple and white clothes became streaked with flame patterns as if dyed by fire, and her gray hair and sky-blue eyes gradually turned orange-red under the illumination of the flames.
From a distance, Bella resembled a fiercely burning blaze in the center of the platform, as if it would incinerate everything.
"Fire Meteor!"
As Bella's voice fell, basketball-sized, intensely burning fireballs formed above Bella, then fell like meteorites towards the Honkai Beasts in front.
"Boom~"
After a loud bang, a large cloud of smoke and dust rose from where the Honkai Beasts were located.
When the smoke and dust dispersed, the two remaining Chariot-class Honkai Beasts in the arena were gone.
Among the remaining Honkai Beasts, except for the Templar-class, the surfaces of the other Honkai Beasts had slight scorch marks.
Kiana, beside her, gasped slightly, pulling on Raiden Mei next to her in shock: "Mei, is Bella really that amazing! She can even transform!"
Raiden Mei was also a little surprised, as Bella had always seemed harmless when they were together before.
However.
Looking at Bella in the arena, Raiden Mei's face showed a hint of worry.
The remaining Honkai Beasts were not easy to deal with. Bella, she...
Indeed, Bella's brows furrowed slightly as she looked at the six remaining Honkai Beasts in front of her.
That last attack was almost the strongest she could unleash right now.
But apart from the easy-to-deal-with Chariot-class, she hadn't caused much damage to the others, and the Templar-class had directly blocked her attack with its shield, completely unharmed.
But it was normal, after all, besides physical strength, Bella's Honkai energy concentration was only at the peak of a B-Rank Valkyrie, while the Templar-class Honkai Beast was the standard for A-rank Valkyrie assessment, and the other remaining Honkai Beasts were not easy opponents either.
"It seems I'll have to fight in close combat."
During the previous battle, Bella had also figured out the attack patterns of these three types of Honkai Beasts.
The Chariot-class was very slow and had to charge up its attacks, so it was probably a type with high attack power but very low attack speed.
As for the Knight-class, it had high attack power and was very fast. Although it was as difficult to deal with as the Saint-class, it didn't have any special attack methods, so she would start with the simpler Chariot-class.
Thinking this, Bella no longer delayed, pushing off the ground with her foot, she rushed towards the two Chariot-class Honkai Beasts like lightning.
At this moment, the reactions of those two Chariot-class Honkai Beasts were exactly as Bella had imagined.
Bella had already rushed in front of the two Honkai Beasts, and these two Honkai Beasts seemed to only just react, beginning to charge up.
But clearly, there were two Templar-class and two Knight-class Honkai Beasts eyeing them from the side, and Bella would not give these two Honkai Beasts any chance.
She flashed to the side of one Honkai Beast, letting the Honkai energy flow through her entire body, flames ignited on her right fist, and she unleashed a fierce punch.
Bella had not used Honkai energy for the first punch she threw at the Diving-class Honkai Beast, so what if she did now?
Bella now gave the answer.
The Chariot-class Honkai Beast struck by Bella's fist seemed to pause for a moment, and then the side of its body that was hit suddenly caved in.
Under the astonished gazes of Kiana and the others, the entire Honkai Beast was sent flying into the air, crashing into the light barrier at the edge of the platform.
Then, Bella spun around, her leg heavy as a thousand pounds, and kicked the other still-charging Chariot-class Honkai Beast fiercely, sending it flying towards the edge of the platform like a football, where it crashed into the other Honkai Beast, the stirred-up dust obscuring everyone's view.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the Honkai Beasts that appeared before everyone's eyes had turned into scattered points of data.
"Too, too amazing!" Seeing this scene, Kiana couldn't help but shout excitedly.
However, Raiden Mei next to her seemed to see something, her pupils constricted, and she shouted: "No, Bella! Dodge quickly!"
At the same time, Bella, who had just finished dealing with the two Chariot-class Honkai Beasts, suddenly felt a tremor.
"Huh?"
A sharp pain suddenly came from her waist, and Bella was sent flying uncontrollably, crashing heavily into the rising light barrier.
"Cough, cough."
Bella, lying on the ground, coughed painfully, the blood slowly flowing from her covered waist soaking the ground.
What happened? She had been paying attention to the other four Honkai Beasts, so what was this?
Just then, Bella, lying on the ground, saw it in her peripheral vision.
Not far away, a Knight-class Honkai Beast had bloodstains on the tip of its spear, and the remaining blood was slowly dripping onto the ground.
Then, its mount's front hooves lifted high, then stomped down heavily, and a bright light illuminated the Honkai Beast.
Immediately after, this Honkai Beast charged towards Bella in a rushing state, a flash of light, and in an instant, it arrived before Bella, thrusting its spear violently towards Bella on the ground.
Bella's world seemed to suddenly slow down.
The Honkai Beast's spear slowly grew larger in Bella's eyes, and Bella's pupils widened accordingly.
