But when she looked at the various gifts shimmering before her, all her interest in having fun vanished.
after all…
If everyone uses Honkai energy in battle, then when White Yaksha uses Honkai energy for the first time, things will still be interesting for everyone.
But if it's done with a gift...
Who do you think I am?
…well….
219. White Demon: Isn't the source of this blessing us?
"Quickly, try not to use Honkai energy—we are no match for Honkai Beasts and Herrschers in manipulating Honkai energy. Rely as much as possible on the Gift weapons in our hands. These are weapons newly developed by His Holiness the Archbishop. They are powers other than Honkai energy, and they are also the powers of humanity!"
Elena commanded all the Valkyries of the Golden Squad, and just as she had told them at the beginning, this time she didn't choose to act recklessly, but instead used her brain a little.
"Team 1, your Blessed Weapons are all the type that can create illusions. You will walk in front, creating illusions while also activating the defensive Honkai energy equipment you carry. While focusing on defense, also use Honkai energy to attract the attention of the Honkai Beast Brunhilde—the rest of you, split into two teams and surround the enemy from both sides!"
Following her command, the Valkyries sprang into action.
However, instead of being divided into three teams, they were divided into four teams.
Besides the squads responsible for drawing attention and flanking from both sides, there was also a small squad following behind Team 1, including Elena's.
They are the elite of the Golden Squad. Their presence on the front lines is to wait for the enemy to charge forward, and then work with the illusions created by Team 1 to entangle the enemy and block their frontal attack. They are the real frontal combat force!
Especially Elena.
She also carried the strongest of these blessed weapons, intending to find a crucial moment to severely injure or even kill her opponent!
If it were a regular Honkai Beast, then Elena's plan might actually succeed.
After all, many Honkai Beasts do follow Honkai energy, and even Chi You is one of them.
嗏
That's the White Demon!
Such low-level illusionary blessings are very shallow for the White Yaksha.
How superficial is it... well, it's the kind of thing that even if you use it on her, it won't work on her!
Therefore, from the perspective of the Valkyries of the Golden Squad, the moment they launched their charge, countless phantoms appeared around them. Then, the main force charged along with the phantoms, while those responsible for flanking from both sides would infiltrate into positions out of sight on both sides under the cover of the phantoms during the charge and begin to surround the White Demon.
However, from the White Demon's perspective, the same action...
These Valkyries charged forward shouting, and then, right in front of her, split into two groups, openly preparing to surround her!
Although White Yaksha knew from seeing that each of these Valkyries had a Gift weapon, she knew that if these guys wanted to fight her in a Gift battle, it would probably be a very boring game.
But she never expected it to be this boring!
However, now that he's seen it, White Yaksha won't remain inactive.
She stepped on the ground with her toes, glided backward, and flew straight up into the sky in an arc.
As she did this, the longbow Roland had given her was pulled downwards, and six light arrows appeared directly in her hand as she drew the bowstring.
whoosh-
As she released her grip, stray arrows rained down from the sky, like a torrential downpour covering the earth under her relentless attacks!
Besides, it was the White Demon who was drawing the bow.
Although she had lived for so many years and didn't have any similar gifts to boast about, her skill in using a bow was still quite high.
So many arrows fell, yet not a single one was aimed at a vital spot—and combined with the effects of these light arrows, being hit would only result in a state of suspended animation, at most looking a bit miserable, but would not cause any serious injury or death.
However, what looks tragic is seen as death by the Valkyries!
After all, they never expected that the Honkai Beasts would hold back against humans.
The casualties were within their expectations, but what they did not expect was that the White Yaksha's attack not only covered the frontal forces but also the flanking forces on both sides. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a key attack on the flanking forces!
This threw the Valkyries into disarray as they hastily used defensive blessings to block the attack.
After Elena noticed this, her roar rang out again through the communication device.
"This guy is smarter than we thought!"
The Valkyries heard these words, and so did the White Yaksha, who was slowly descending from mid-air.
At once…
Although it sounds like a compliment, considering everything that Shiroyasha just went through... it just sounds so strange!?
White Demon felt something was off, but her hands moved quickly.
Her bow was practically designed specifically for this mission, making it incredibly effective. This meant she didn't even consider switching to another weapon; she simply leaped across the ground, unleashing a barrage of arrows from every angle against the Valkyries.
With White Yaksha's combat wisdom, the Valkyries' offensive was suppressed!
Seeing this, Elena gritted her teeth.
"Concentrate your defenses and buy me time!"
"Yes!"
Following Elena's command, the Valkyries who were focused on the Gift of Defense began to converge on Elena. They gathered from all directions and eventually formed what seemed like a circle, a fortress, and a flower bud waiting to bloom!
And Elena is that flower that is about to bloom.
She was under everyone's protection, and then she took out a spear!
She pricked her finger and smeared the blood on the tip of the spear, which immediately burst forth with a dazzling light!
Oh!
When Shiroyasha first sensed the blessing reaction from this blessed weapon, she became slightly interested.
After all, compared to those previous gifts like Phantom, Enhancement, Light Arrow, and Defense, which seemed like trash gifts concocted by some circus community, the gift carried on this gift weapon is quite interesting!
Even if it's not anything particularly impressive, it's still something presentable!
However, when the spear in Elena's hand began to glow, and the flower buds constructed by the Valkyries around her began to bloom, and when she raised her weapon high in the center, as if raising a sun, the White Yaksha's rare interest vanished.
It's not that Elena's gift is ineffective.
The power of this blessing can even be considered excellent. If placed in a miniature garden, even some people in the four-figure class would be hard-pressed to avoid getting injured if they were suddenly hit.
Moreover, this Flash Heat Gift is not only powerful but also very fast, making it difficult for normal Honkai Beasts to dodge.
This is a branch of the sun's blessings.
Its speed is like lightning, and its power, in addition to its extremely high temperature, also carries the characteristics of impact and explosion!
The only problem…
Or rather, the reason that silenced the White Demon...
—Isn't this blessing originated from us?
......
220. Ryougi Shiki: As long as you are alive, I will kill you!
If she could, Elena wouldn't want to use the Sun Spear, this blessed weapon, to force a way out.
This is not only because the Sun Spear is incredibly powerful and can deliver a decisive blow when the opponent is off guard, but also because, as a spear-type gift weapon, the Sun Spear is a one-time use weapon due to its immense power!
It's just like a missile that's more powerful and faster.
If it hits the target and really opens up the situation, then that's fine.
But what if it's empty...
Just thinking about this possibility made Elena, who was holding up the Spear of the Sun, feel an immense pressure. However, she was now in a situation where she had no choice but to throw the Spear of the Sun. So she tried her best to clear her mind of distractions and then effectively aimed at the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Brunhilde in front of her. After quickly calculating everything, she threw the Spear of the Sun on the spot!
As the Spear of the Sun departed from her hand, it seemed to instantly transform into a golden lightning bolt, striking towards the White Yaksha at incredible speed!
Faced with this attack, White Yaksha, who was mentally prepared, could have dodged it, but she didn't. She simply raised her hand in the direction from which the Sun Spear was coming.
Seeing this, Elena, who was under a lot of pressure, breathed a sigh of relief and stared intently at the scene, feeling both extremely nervous and excited!
Because the speed of the Sun Spear was so fast, normal rookie Valkyries might only feel a blur before their eyes and not even realize what happened yet—but Elena, as the wielder of the Sun Spear, now clearly knows that the Sun Spear is about to hit, and the opponent, perhaps due to carelessness, did not dodge! It even reached out to block!
Elena was well aware of the power of the Sun Spear, so she felt she had successfully broken the deadlock.
No... this is more than just breaking the deadlock. The opponent was so careless; this might be the decisive blow!
Elena was looking forward to it.
But reality was destined to disappoint her.
When the golden lightning formed from the Spear of the Sun arrived in front of the White Yaksha's palm, the light and heat gathered directly in her palm, quickly turning into a golden fireball that floated above her hand.
The Gift, which was once as violent as thunder in Elena's hands, is now as docile as a cat with no strength in White Yaksha's hands.
At this point, White Yaksha also realized the flaws of these new types of blessed weapons.
That Queen, it turns out this batch of weapons wasn't password protected. Anyone who can use the Gift can use it... A clever move, it's just a pity she probably didn't expect me to be there too.
White Yaksha thought this, but didn't immediately throw the gift back.
