Chapter 181 Remember to Finish Him Off
"You brute..."
In Anna's eyes, Qiong's not-so-tall figure, dragging the heavy flaming spear, slowly moved towards the Ice Emperor. The flickering spear tip sparked a string of sparks as it scraped against the ice surface, and the ice shards beneath their feet made a "crackling" sound.
Qiong stared at the Ice Emperor, who was wielding his ice shield (Qiong preferred to call it a ring blade), ten meters away—how could she win faster?
In Anna's eyes, the Ice Emperor was a deadly enemy, while in Qiong's eyes, he was just an elite monster.
If you think about it for a moment, it's common knowledge that the attribute system in the Honkai world consists of two (now three) systems. The oldest triangular theory is that creatures counter superpowers, superpowers counter machines, and machines counter creatures. Honkai Beasts belong to the superpower category: and he is human, so he must be a creature! He already has the upper hand in terms of attributes; the Ice Emperor uses ice shards which are easily damaged by fire, while he wields a flame spear, so he has the upper hand in terms of system.
No matter how you look at it, the advantage is mine!
"Hey!"
Qiong gave the Ice Emperor the middle finger.
"hiss!"
As if enraged, the Ice Emperor roared and flew straight toward the sky with spinning ring blades and whistling wind.
Cutting and dashing, a move that all Honkai Emperors know.
"Qiong, get out of the way!"
According to the orthodox teachings of Destiny, one should be careful to avoid danger at this time. However, although Qiong comes from the academic school like Theresa, he prefers unorthodox methods to the conventional ones.
"No way!"
Qiong calmly raised his Flame Spear: He has a heat source in his hand and won't accumulate ice erosion value, so why is he dodging?
"Do you want to die?! Get out of the way!"
Ignoring Anna's screams, Qiong thrust the Flame Spear into the ground as the Ice Emperor charged closer. Blazing flames erupted from the spear, creating a wall of fire in addition to its amber shield.
The Ice Emperor charged directly into the wall of fire, its surrounding ring blades rapidly melting and emitting wisps of white steam in the moonlight. It seemed even these ring blades couldn't withstand the fiery spear.
"That's it?"
"hiss!"
Qiong, who should have been frozen after being hit, remained calm and composed, which puzzled the aggressive Ice Emperor. The attack pattern ingrained in his instincts was not working.
With its intelligence, it could never have imagined that this tiny human could so easily withstand its massive impact and ultra-low temperature freezing. It doesn't make sense!
"Finished? My turn! Drink up!"
The flaming spear exploded in the ground, knocking away the exhausted Ice Emperor. Then, without hesitation, Qiong plunged the flaming spear into the Ice Emperor's body.
"Roar!"
The Ice Emperor let out a roar, making it seem as if the Honkai Beasts were in pain.
Qiong tried to lift it upwards, intending to lift the Ice Emperor's massive body off the ground, but after exerting all his strength, he discovered an embarrassing problem: he couldn't lift it...
But he remembered that's exactly what Durandal did, right? Why can't he?
The piercing of the Flame Spear did not kill the Ice Emperor. A chilling aura surged from the Ice Emperor's body, attempting to lock the Flame Spear in place.
"What the hell?"
Is it trying to freeze the Flame Spear? Qiong couldn't help but find the Honkai Beast's combat intelligence amusing.
Since it couldn't be provoked, injecting flames into the Ice Emperor's body would be just as effective, right? With a "do it now" spirit, Qiong ignored the ice blades and darts that were shooting wildly at him and devoted himself entirely to the flame spear. After a moment, the flames rose high, and the protective flames spread along the insertion point to the Ice Emperor's entire body.
We won! Qiong thought to herself.
But the Ice Emperor was still struggling, frantically twisting its icy body in an attempt to extinguish the flames, but to no avail; the fire grew ever stronger…
"Take this! I'll stab you to death!"
Half a minute later, Qiong forcefully pulled out the Flame Spear, but immediately thrust it fiercely at the Ice Emperor once more. Then the Ice Emperor roared, Qiong pulled out the spear, roared again, and thrust it in once more…
This was repeated seven or eight times until the Ice Emperor finally collapsed.
"Phew, that was easy. Senior!"
Qiong breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Anna, who looked completely bewildered.
"Senior, I won. Shall we continue the search?"
"You brute!"
Anna, carrying Chen Tianwen, quickly walked up to Qiong and slapped him on the head.
Qiong: ?
"Do you know how dangerous that was? If you had made the slightest mistake, or if the Ice Emperor had pierced your defenses or self-destructed before you could kill it, you would have been dead!"
Despite having done a good deed, Qiong was scolded by Anna, who had just been terrified. She rubbed her head, feeling indignant and aggrieved.
"It's alright, isn't it? I know what I'm doing!"
What numbers do you have?
Anna stomped her foot in anger; as expected, Sora had the power to make her angry...
Anna tried to find a wound on Sora's body to prove her point, but she couldn't find one...
"Alright, alright, now that we've won, let's quickly help her find her brother—"
"careful!"
Anna's expression suddenly changed, and she pushed Qiong, causing him to stumble. Just then, an ice spike grazed his arm.
"Not dead yet?"
Qiong quickly turned around and saw that the Ice Emperor was still moving!
"You're not completely dead, are you?!"
Qiong was furious. If it weren't for Anna, he would definitely have been injured!
"You're dead! I'll stab you to death, stab you to death, stab you to death!"
The consequences of not finishing him off! He almost got himself killed! Gripping the Flame Spear tightly, Qiong's eyes turned fierce as he charged towards the still-alive Ice Emperor once more.
The flaming spear rose and fell, repeatedly piercing the Ice Emperor's body—he hadn't paid attention in class and didn't know the Ice Emperor's weaknesses, so this was the only way he could do it.
After another flurry of fierce thrusts from Qiong, the Ice Emperor fell completely still. Qiong, panting heavily, finally realized he had been a bit...
He turned to look at Anna and Chen Tianwen, and saw that Anna was covering Chen Tianwen's eyes with her hand.
Children shouldn't watch content that's inappropriate for them.
"Big brother was so scary just now..."
"It's not scary, it's not scary, he's doing this to protect us~"
------------
"Am I going to die...?"
The approaching assassins sent Chen Tianwu's adrenaline soaring, but his body had reached its limit and he could no longer run. He even began to lose consciousness—he had used up too much energy to protect Chen Tianwen and lure away the Honkai Beasts, and he was completely exhausted.
Forget it, I'll just close my eyes. I can't just watch the sickle cut me and then blood splatter everywhere...
It's said that before a person dies, images flash through their mind like a revolving lantern, and it seems that's true. Chen Tianwu saw only warm scenes of himself with his sister. His sister's smiling face and the days they played together kept appearing in his mind.
"Brother, you promised me you'd take me to Houmu Paradise."
"astronomical……"
"elder brother!"
My sister's voice seemed to be ringing in my ears.
"Astronomy, survive..."
"elder brother!"
"astronomical?"
The sound grew louder, as if it was getting closer?
Chen Tianwu exerted all his strength to lift his already battered upper and lower eyelids.
A gray-haired man ran up to him with a chestnut-haired woman holding his sister.
"Old Chen, are you still alive?!"
Old Chen? Oh, I remember now, that unexpectedly enthusiastic man... his name was Qiong, right?
"He's not dead, but he'll be gone soon if there's no rescue..."
"Then you won't die, because we are the rescue team!"
