Chapter 40 The Flames Burn Out!

Chapter 40: Blazing Flames... Burning!

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that the wound it sustained last night hasn't healed yet?"

Ying immediately shook her head to deny this speculation, "When it escaped the night before yesterday, it should have no other wounds except for the stab wound on its shoulder caused by my ribs."

On the top of the building near the abandoned block, the rest of the fifth team were almost all sent to the block. Their mission was to open up a road, escort the survivors in the tower away, and clear the Honkai beasts along the way.

Among these survivors, those with serious injuries will still be directly placed in the Luluye branch base, and those who can still move will take a transport helicopter to the Fire Moth headquarters for treatment.

"Captain! I think I understand what's going on!"

Except for Himiko, Sakura, Airi and Mikael, the only one who didn't enter the block was Imer. Hearing his shouting, Airi glared at him, and Himiko also made a quiet gesture:

"Keep your voice down, let Mikael rest for a while."

Imer glanced at Mikael who was snoring in the tent beside him, and scratched his head awkwardly.

He made a gesture, and Himiko, Airi and Sakura followed him to the large Honkai energy detector.

After Imer made a simple operation, the screen began to play the changes in Honkai energy in the block the night before.

As Mikael thought, at the beginning, there were four points in the block with high Honkai energy reactions, and as several people continued to approach these points under Imer's instructions to test, there was no problem at first.

But not long after Mikael approached the point numbered 03 and left, the Honkai energy reaction there suddenly weakened, and an abnormal point numbered 05 appeared at the same time.

Imer kept rewinding and slowing down the tape 30 times, and everyone saw clearly that it was a body that almost contained the entire Honkai energy reaction of the abnormal point 03 that suddenly moved.

"The other party's transfer speed is too fast. If it is not slowed down, it will almost appear at the same time... I'm sorry, I misjudged the night before yesterday."

"This situation happened three times in total throughout the night. Coincidentally, each transfer occurred after Captain Mikael approached the abnormal point and left."

"... I boldly guess that Yasha should be very afraid of Captain Mikael, so he never dared to appear."

"So... what did Mikael do to it the night before yesterday?"

Ai Li and Himiko looked at each other, and both saw the look of understanding in each other's eyes.

And Sakura recalled the glimpse on the rooftop yesterday afternoon, and shuddered immediately.

"Uh... Why do I feel like you all know how Fatty Four..." Imer was very sad.

"... Well, if that's the case, then let's go tonight, the three of us? Let Mikael stay here and have a good rest." Himiko made a decision.

Ai Li asked, "Isn't it a bit risky?"

Himiko frowned, and she felt a little relieved when she heard it, but she still raised her hand and gave her a slap, then took out the fiery red sword that had been wrapped in black cloth, and stabbed it hard into the ground.

"Hasn't Mikael made a plan? And, I say, little Ai Li, don't underestimate your captain!"

Aili pouted, rubbed her forehead, and suddenly asked:

"Captain, your face looks a little bad? Did Mikael say something to you in private before?"

Himiko sighed and smiled bitterly. Mikael told her all the inferences and evidence. How could her face be good in the face of a terrible incident in which tens of thousands of people died due to man-made collapse?

But...

"Captain Himiko, can I ask you not to tell Ellie about this for the time being?" The boy's voice echoed in her mind, and his half-worried and half-angry face was still fresh in her memory.

"Why?"

"Because... let her know the dark side of human beings when she grows up..."

But looking at Ellie's slightly forced smile, Himiko couldn't help but think of a question that Mikael had also had:

"Ellie... does she really know nothing?"

Imer's cell phone suddenly rang, "Hello... Oh, okay, okay, I'm sorry!"

"Um, Captain... your sword pierced the ceiling downstairs..."

When Mikael woke up, it was already dark.

The sky of Luluye was dotted with stars, and the starlight intertwined, which made him suddenly realize.

But he quickly reacted, picked up the kettle beside him and poured it over his head, and the cool breeze lifted the curtain, and he woke up instantly.

When he got out of the tent, Mikael only saw Imer.

He was wearing headphones, humming a little tune and tapping his feet.

Mikael took off his headphones.

"Didn't you say to call me before the operation? Where are they? What's the situation now?"

Imer quickly made a "hush" gesture to Mikael, and then tapped the headphones with his finger.

"What's wrong, is Mikael awake?"

"Captain, it's me."

"Let Imer tell you the details in a short way. Don't worry, you have to learn to trust your teammates occasionally!"

Himiko temporarily silenced the communication.

She carried a fiery red sword on her shoulder and walked carelessly on the empty street.

There were no street lights, no lights, and even if the moonlight poured down, it only brought a glimmer of light, so that the scene in front of her was not pure darkness.

She did not conceal her aura at all. Since she was luring the enemy, how could she not expose her position to the other party?

Besides, she had a feeling.

"If I were Yasha, who would I choose to attack first?"

Although it was only a short fight, both Ai Li and Ying had dealt a heavy blow to Yasha in the battle the night before.

Yasha should be very clear about their strengths, so if she were Yasha, the priority target of attack would definitely be this woman who had not yet fought and did not hide her whereabouts. At first glance, she knew she was a rookie.

"According to what Mikael asked Ai Li to pass on, Yasha's ability seems to be to freeze space? Interesting, will Honkai Beast also have the same power as the Herrscher... But it's a pity..."

She couldn't help but clench the greatsword in her hand.

Suddenly, Imer's voice sounded in the communication: "Yaksha moved... Its target is the captain!"

"Sure enough..."

Himiko's mouth curled up slightly, Yasha's actions were completely unexpected.

"North direction!" Imer reminded.

Himiko had already heard the sound of breaking through the air. Her shoulders relaxed, the sword dropped, and the sword head collided with the asphalt road. After a loud bang, the entire blade was almost buried in the road.

Then, she held the hilt with both hands, stepped out with her left foot, and exerted force with her waist!

The sword dragged an arc on the road, and then suddenly jumped up, emitting a dark red sword light.

At the same time, a big hole was knocked out of the building on Himiko's left hand side. A dark cloud just blocked the moonlight at this time. She could only see black stones flying, and a bigger figure was facing her sword.

"Did you succeed?"

The next moment, Himiko felt a piercing chill, which was like a needle of ice piercing into the skin, into the bone marrow, and into the heart, as if to solidify everything.

The dust around her body and the cement blocks flying everywhere also stopped in mid-air.

Only the figure of the oncoming Yasha was constantly enlarged in the amber eyes.

The more distant space was not affected by Yasha, and the thin dark clouds could not completely cover the moonlight.

When the light faded again, Himiko finally saw Yasha clearly.

The slender pink ears fell backwards due to inertia, and the purple eyes were covered with a mesh structure, just like a fly, with extended claws shining coldly, a delicate ribs inserted on the shoulder, two pairs of bone wings behind, the thin wings were translucent purple, and its lower body was like a round pupa, but protected by a white exoskeleton.

Himiko still had a smile on her face, and Yasha's claws were close to her cheek.

Her pupils met the cold light flashing on the claws, and they shrank unconsciously.

But...

"It's over... Surtel!"

"Flames... burn!"

Even Himiko herself couldn't tell when the first cluster of flames was ignited.

The soul steel sword called "Sartel" was dancing with blazing flames, melting the frozen space in less than a moment.

Sartel drew an arc in the air, and the flames that followed turned the entire arc into a fan!

When the fan gradually dissipated, Himiko saw Yaksha screaming and running towards the sea.

At her feet, Yaksha's claws were cut off at the root, and then burned into a small black piece in the flames.

Even the cement blocks that flew out of the damaged building disappeared under the high temperature emitted by Surtel.

Himiko excitedly flicked the sword body of Surtel with her fingers, and the hilt was dancing with flames that had not yet extinguished, but the hand holding the hilt was unharmed.
