You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

Perhaps the shouts had an effect, for the frost stopped spreading and then quickly retreated back into the room.

That's why the Valkyrie was able to stay away from the door and look at Anna's room with lingering fear.

"Squeak!"

A short while later, the door opened gently, revealing a dimly lit interior.

The curtains were drawn tightly shut, with only a faint glimmer of light filtering through the gaps, preventing the room from falling into complete darkness.

Anna staggered out of the room, looking extremely haggard, as if she had been staying up all night for months.

The Valkyrie knew that Anna had been sleeping poorly lately, but she clearly remembered that Anna hadn't looked this haggard yesterday. Even though only one night had passed, Anna looked like she had been through months.

"Captain, are you alright?"

"...I'm fine, I just haven't had enough rest."

Chapter 303 I...had no choice but to do it

Anna, looking haggard and seemingly unaware of the current situation, asked in confusion, "What do you want from me all of a sudden?"

"Captain, Honkai events are breaking out all over the world, and the Coral Island region is particularly severely affected!"

"..."

Anna was silent for a few seconds, then asked in return, "Where is Lady Li Sushang?"

"The Honkai Beasts of the marine biome are like cats that have smelled fish. They seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack and forcibly kept Lady Li Sushang on the beach."

"……I see."

Anna murmured softly, then sighed.

"You stay here and wait. I will take over Li Sushang's mission, and then Li Sushang will handle the collapse incident in the city."

"But... Captain, are you really capable of resisting those Honkai Beasts in your current state?"

"..."

Anna was silent for a moment, then said softly, "What can I do if I can't? I... have no choice but to do it."

True.

Anna has the ability to resolve Honkai events in the city, but it takes a lot of time, making it impossible for her to resolve all Honkai events in a short period of time.

On the contrary, Li Sushang, as an S-class Valkyrie, can quickly resolve most of the Honkai events, even if she cannot resolve all of them instantly, thereby reducing casualties among the people.

Hearing Anna's soft whisper, the B-rank Valkyrie opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Anna's words made sense, so she ultimately watched Anna leave without saying a word.

Just as Anna's figure was about to disappear from her sight, a light, airy voice entered her ears.

"Once Lady Li Sushang returns to the city, I would appreciate it if you could assist her in resolving various collapse incidents. Also... please find some time to send me some sleeping pills, as I will likely be staying by the sea for the time being."

"team leader……"

The B-rank Valkyrie murmured, unsure how to respond to Anna.

……

Coral Island, seaside.

One after another, azure flying swords shot out, piercing through the bodies of Honkai Beasts.

In less than a moment, Li Sushang had already killed nearly a hundred Honkai Beasts.

Although these Honkai Beasts are all small in size, they cannot be ignored.

If left unchecked, the situation in the city will only worsen.

The intense sunlight flowed along the blade of the longsword.

The dazzling reflection revealed the mountain of Honkai Beast corpses.

Li Sushang dealt with these small Honkai Beasts almost effortlessly, though it would take her a few seconds.

A little makes a lot, and sand makes a tower.

A large number of Honkai Beasts charged forward one after another, using sheer numbers to keep Li Sushang stranded on the beach.

"You're basically nowhere to be seen on weekdays, preventing me from going back to the city to play games and drink bubble tea, and now you're hindering my efforts to help the city... Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

Li Sushang glared angrily at the seemingly endless Honkai Beasts, and exhaled a breath of stale air the next second.

Clang!

The sound of swords clashing erupted like waves, one after another, and thousands of flying swords appeared in an instant.

As Li Sushang pointed her sword at the Honkai Beast, these flying swords suddenly shot out, raining down on the Honkai Beast.

However, there were simply too many Honkai Beasts. It was as if they had planned it all along. Almost all the Honkai Beasts from the nearby marine biomes had gathered here, precisely to prevent Li Sushang from returning to the city.

Li Sushang furrowed her brows.

These Honkai Beasts in the ocean biomes seem endless, causing her endless annoyance.

"We must return to the city as soon as possible, otherwise, given the current state of the Snow Lotus Squad, it will be difficult to quickly deal with these Honkai Beasts, and it will also lead to a large number of civilian casualties..."

"What is Otto doing? Is he just going to stand by and watch Coral Island be destroyed?!"

Li Sushang's face was very pale. Before she could continue whispering anything, she suddenly turned around and looked at the distant city as if she had a premonition.

Even though they were far apart, Li Sushang could still see the city on the verge of destruction.

The colossal Honkai Beast rampaged through the city, resembling a legendary savage beast, mercilessly trampling through human cities.

In the city's reflection, a tiny figure walks slowly towards the sea, its back to the city.

It appears to be moving slowly, but it is approaching the coast at a speed that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Swords fell like rain.

Li Sushang selectively ignored the Honkai Beasts that were falling one after another, and squinted at the figure.

Although she couldn't recognize the figure's true identity, she sensed an extremely terrifying Honkai energy reaction emanating from it.

"Di Di-"

Li Sushang's communication device suddenly beeped, and then Anna's very haggard face appeared on the screen.

By observing the rapidly receding scenery around Anna, Li Sushang instantly recognized Anna as that tiny figure.

"Lady Li Sushang, please deal with the Honkai Beasts in the city. As for the Honkai Beasts by the sea... leave them to me."

"Miss Anna? Why have you become like this?"

"..."

Anna paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "I cannot quickly deal with the Honkai Beasts in the city. Some of them are over a hundred meters tall and need you to handle them."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

"Lady Li Sushang, I suggest you set off now. The situation in the city is very serious. Every second of delay will lead to a large number of casualties."

"Of course I understand that, but what should we do here?"

"It's alright, please leave it to me with confidence."

Anna's voice was slightly hoarse, but full of confidence.

Li Sushang stared at Anna for a moment, then looked away.

The communication device was quietly disconnected.

Li Sushang remained silent, keenly sensing that Anna's condition was very strange, but now was not the time to consider this matter.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she ultimately chose to trust Anna's judgment.

As long as someone helps delay the Honkai Beasts on the beach, Li Sushang is confident that she can quickly deal with the Honkai Beasts in the city and then return here to continue suppressing these fearless Honkai Beasts.

Clang!

The flying swords that filled the sky vanished in an instant.

Li Sushang formed a sword finger with her right hand, then stepped on the flying sword and soared away.

With Li Sushang's departure, the Honkai Beasts of the Ocean Biome, which had been unable to make any progress, were suddenly freed and rushed towards the distant city.

Li Sushang used her sword finger as a substitute for a sword, and swung it out in a backhand motion.

The sword energy shot out in all directions, leaving extremely deep sword marks on the ground.

Any Honkai Beast that passes through this sword mark will suffer sword wounds of varying degrees.

Weaker Honkai Beasts are killed instantly, while stronger Honkai Beasts, though not killed, are inevitably injured.

Unfortunately, the sword mark had limited power to hold and was quickly reduced to an ordinary sword mark by the Honkai Beast's attack.

At the same time, Li Sushang and Anna passed each other, and Li Sushang suddenly realized something was wrong. She turned around and looked at Anna with suspicion and uncertainty.

Chapter 304 Slaying All the Honkai Beasts

Although Anna appeared normal on the surface, merely looking haggard, her body emanated a terrifying chill.

Even Li Sushang, an S-class Valkyrie, couldn't help but feel a chill.

Besides, it wasn't until she got closer to Anna that Li Sushang was able to more directly feel the enormous Honkai energy within Anna's body.

Although Li Sushang was staring at Anna with surprise and uncertainty, her flying speed on the flying sword did not decrease in the slightest.

This chilling aura and the terrifying Honkai energy...

Li Sushang remembered clearly that Anna was perfectly normal when they last met, and she didn't exude this chill at all.

After a moment's thought, Li Sushang temporarily suppressed her doubts and focused her attention on the distant city.

Only by quickly dealing with the rampaging Honkai Beasts in the city could she have the time to carefully investigate Anna's changes.

boom!

Before Li Sushang could get too far away, a biting cold suddenly erupted behind her.

The cold front seemed to materialize, transforming into a terrifying storm that swept in.

Li Sushang paused subconsciously, and while resisting the cold current, she turned to look at the seaside.
