Chapter 130: The Kaslana Family's Unique Power - Flying Bricks

When illusions closely mimic reality, they can indeed be formidable in battle.

Even Honkai Beasts and Herrschers might be deceived by them.

However, such illusions can easily be dispelled with a change in perspective. Whether it's through X-ray vision, infrared vision, or sound wave radar vision.

Of course, these things can be countered; it's just that Bronie hasn't optimized her abilities to that extent yet.

Maybe in the future, but for now, it's all about the fight.

Both King and Queen were restrained by a robot, but this was merely a group effect of the Valkyrie Battlesuit, and the real power lay with the Valkyrie herself!

Durandal wielded her lance, activated the Valkyrie's environmental scanner module, and searched for Bronie's figure through King and Queen's perspectives.

But all she saw was a swarm of drones, making her scalp tingle.

She had always known that Bronie was not easy to deal with.

Once Bronie got serious, she might face a swarm of drones akin to an entire army.

However, she didn't expect the drones to appear so quickly, perhaps due to being misled by the previous scene.

"Is this your reliance for freely roaming in the Sea of Quanta?"

"This isn't everything. Can you be sure that Dr. Schrödinger won't also reveal everything to you? Every time, she manages to participate in some magical things. To be honest, I admire her quite a bit."

While they conversed, the battle raged on. King and Queen fought back against the Project Bunny projections from Bronie while Durandal attempted to break through the drone swarm like a headless fly.

As for Bronie?

She continued projecting more drones like a Zerg Queen. Each time a drone was destroyed, Bronie immediately replenished it. However, Durandal could feel herself getting closer to Bronie.

As for Bronie's previous barrage attacks from all angles?

The Valkyrie Battlesuit was equipped with special shields, easily deflecting low-power attacks without causing any harm to Durandal. And it seemed that Otto had also gotten smarter; the stunning pulse was now protected against with targeted shields.

It was as if...

Yes, using Durandal's hands to test Bronie's combat power.

"Activate the sound wave radar interference."

Accompanied by Bronie's despair-inducing voice, Durandal once again became blind. Instantly, her blood pressure skyrocketed.

This was impossible!

Angrily, Durandal focused on Project Bunny nearby.

"Let's start by destroying this broken robot, then destroy all the drones! King, switch to infrared vision..."

"Activate the infrared interference lamp."

Although it couldn't achieve perfect realism, Bronie could still blind her opponent. Randomly shining the infrared light would only further confuse the opponent. Finding someone let alone dealing with drones became a difficult task.

So, Durandal could only focus on this so-called heavily armored rabbit.

Upon closer inspection, this drone was one of the more refined ones among all the drones. With its two massive mechanical arms, it seemed capable of destroying anything.

The analysis on the Valkyrie Battlesuit provided astonishing data. If it were a regular Valkyrie, they would easily be crushed by such a robot. King and Queen on her side could support her, but it was still challenging, hence the saying, "Flying bricks."

Running at full power, the Valkyrie's internal reactor could turn a person into a death knight with the corruption flowing from the Valkyrie Battlesuit.

However, for Durandal, this wasn't much of an issue. The leaked honkai energy was used to repair the damage on King and Queen, giving her the ability to contend with Project Bunny.

But now, things were different. King and Queen were merely auxiliary combat projections, and the real power lay with Durandal.

As long as she eliminated all threats and prevented Bronie from posing a threat to her, the worst-case scenario would only result in a stalemate.

Though a bit passive, Bronie was still Bronie; could she be a teacher without showing a thing or two?

Watching Durandal charge like a knight, Bronie's lips curled up slightly.

"Hahaha, too weak, too weak! My Project Bunny is designed to counter Herrschers. Your charge is too feeble!"

Project Bunny raised its arms in a defensive stance, its dense particle shield blocking most of the damage. Although King and Queen seized the opportunity to attack while the rabbit was unable to counter, their attacks were once again blocked by the shield.

"So, this is your trump card?"

"No, although the process of making this Project Bunny is cumbersome and it's not possible to project it in large quantities, this can't be considered my trump card. It can only be considered as a trial machine. It performed well; Project Bunny has suffered about 30% damage, and it's currently activating nanomachines for self-repair."

Durandal's mentality was a bit shattered.

Bronie created this powerful robot. Could it be that after mass production, it could directly deal with the Honkai?

There was no way. Durandal could only grit her teeth and once again increase the power of the Valkyrie Battlesuit.

According to Otto, the Valkyrie Battlesuit's maximum output power and speed could even rival the Schicksal transport ship.

On the battlefield, charging with a spear was like a shooting star.

However, great power often came with great risks. Although the Valkyrie Battlesuit also had plans to deal with impacts, most of them still required the Valkyrie's own strength to resist.

But this attack was indeed very powerful.

It made even Bronie sigh.

The blue meteor broke through the wall of the basement of the Lighthouse Mental Hospital and headed straight towards Project Bunny, which resembled a great demon king.

Project Bunny's AI judged that this attack wasn't suitable for direct confrontation, so it began to evade.

But could Durandal's charge be easily dodged?

The Valkyrie's reactor power was continuously increasing, and the gamma particle thrusters left a long blue trail in this illusory space. After moving away from Project Bunny, it turned back and chased at an even more exaggerated speed.

The illusory scenery around began to distort. Among the swarm of drones, Durandal finally saw a glimpse of the silver-white figure.

Now Durandal understood.

Yes, no matter how powerful this high-precision projection device was, it would be difficult for calculations to keep up with her maximum speed.

Perhaps this was the limit of Bronie's projection drones. Once that limit was exceeded, this little illusion couldn't deceive her anymore!

So it was because of insufficient power...

The meteor turned again, and Bronie couldn't help but comment. Indeed, the Kaslana family liked brute force. This kind of violent solution left Bronie with no solution.

As the blue meteor flew past, Bronie's figure disappeared and reappeared elsewhere.

"I finally found you!"

Durandal's voice followed.

Because of the spear's effect, Durandal's breakthrough didn't make as much noise as expected. Perhaps Otto had also considered this issue when designing the Valkyrie Battlesuit?

"It's meaningless if you can't hit me. But your speed is indeed exaggerated... The difficulty of the game will increase from now on."

"You're really leisurely..."

Durandal realized that if she were to fight against Honkai Beasts, most of them wouldn't be able to withstand a few of her attacks. But facing such an intelligent opponent made things tricky.

Seeing Bronie's relaxed demeanor, Durandal couldn't help but feel a fire burning inside her.

Who made Bronie behave so effortlessly?

Slowing down would be misled, speeding up couldn't catch Bronie. Durandal had never experienced such a frustrated battle.

To be honest, this battle was enough to be remembered for a lifetime, especially Bronie's smile.

The feeling of wanting to hit but unable to hit was extremely tantalizing to Durandal's heartstrings.

"Be careful with the next attack!"

The environment around them began to change. The basement of the Lighthouse Mental Hospital gradually turned into a seaside.

Although there were no obstacles to their vision, there were countless drones around.

Durandal's eyes were sharp, observing a drone gathering energy and firing bullets resembling Rubik's cubes.

"King! Block the attack!"

Although she didn't know what kind of attack it was, considering the many battles before, wouldn't Bronie try to test the limits of her Valkyrie Battlesuit?

But Durandal couldn't be sure what effect this attack would have, so she quickly provided energy to King to let him probe.

The result of the probe was out.

Although this attack was slightly faster than bullets, it was very slow for Durandal. But this attack could actually disintegrate King directly!

A miniature King action figure fell to the ground, and Durandal could imagine what scene it would be if she were hit by this move.

"What kind of attack is this!?"

"It's Ether Editing, a kind of reality manipulation ability. Although it can also be studied and used by others, it's still under research for now. And of course, I'm the best in this civilization and industry! This is the true face of my ability!"

Next, two drones began to attack.

Followed by four, eight, and then sixteen!

The attacks increased exponentially, and while dodging, Durandal inevitably encountered situations where her Valkyrie Battlesuit was scratched.

So under Bronie's intense onslaught, Miss Durandal's armor became less and less intact.

Following the loss of the Valkyrie Battlesuit's original functions, Durandal's combat power began to decline. But Durandal gradually realized.

Bronie was doing this intentionally!

Although the firepower gradually decreased, there were indeed very few intact pieces of armor left on Durandal.

She looked at Bronie, who was no longer hiding herself, and countless drones formed a staircase in front of her as Bronie descended slowly.

"The game is almost over. Have you achieved your goal?"

"I thought our fight would be more intense, more passionate, like a fighting game."

"Sorry, I'm not a combatant, just a game producer, without the kind of power your Valkyries have (weak artificial stigmata)."

"I always feel like you're hiding something."

"After losing the Valkyrie Battlesuit, your combat power has been greatly reduced. Are all the Schicksal Valkyries like this?"

Seeing a pair of smooth, beautiful legs in her field of vision, Durandal grabbed them.

"Do you want to see the combat power of a Valkyrie without armor?"

Durandal was very angry.

Mainly because there were indeed few intact pieces of Valkyrie Battlesuit left on her, and all the sports underwear inside had been exposed.

This kind of playful way of fighting really made people angry.

The last time she fought, she also felt like she was being played with.

"Wow, so clever. Without admitting defeat, pretending to be weak, just to seize the opportunity to get close to me, right?"

"Sorry, I was rude! It's all thanks to Teacher Bronie's good teaching!"

After saying that, Durandal prepared to perform jujitsu.

Durandal's grip strength was really amazing. Under such powerful grip strength, combined with her physical fitness, she grabbed Bronie's ankle like a python about to climb up Bronie's body.

But Bronie also grabbed Durandal's wrist.

"Is this what you call an ordinary game producer without the power of a Valkyrie?"

Durandal and Bronie entered a wrestling state. Even though Durandal was only twelve years old now, her true physical strength perfectly demonstrated the advantageous part of the Kaslana family's genes.

Her strength was comparable to that of an empty person.

"Are you still a normal human? With such great physical strength, have you ever checked your ancestors' composition?"

"These are all done by Sir Jingwei. And what about you? Why are you so powerful?"

"Because I'm Bronie!"

Taking advantage of Durandal's still undeveloped body, Bronie used her height advantage to lift Durandal high.

Then she slammed her down heavily.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

This fall was a bit harsh, but for Durandal, it wasn't anything serious.

It just made her feel a little dizzy suddenly.

"This is not a graceful battle, but it doesn't matter. The test of combat skills is coming up next. Since you're so looking forward to it, let's go."

As she spoke, Bronie projected a long spear that seemed to be full of elements of clock gears. This was the spear Bronie made for her younger sister, Sin.

Durandal also quickly got up. Hearing Bronie's words, she immediately picked up the Eternal Silence Helel and stood up.

The expression on her face was excited, unable to hide her excitement.

"Even if you win this round of confrontation, I will never lose in combat skills!"

The damage to her body?

What's that?

It's not as tiring as running twenty laps with weights on her back at the Schicksal headquarters!

Durandal just felt frustrated during the battle, unable to use her strength properly. But if you were to talk about her current condition, Durandal believed that she was in perfect condition.

From the wrestling just now, Durandal could feel that Bronie was definitely not the kind of weak girl she portrayed herself to be, but someone with real skills.

And the purpose of finding Bronie for a fight was to test her own limits. The encounters Durandal had faced before weren't considered real battles!

"In the world, there's never anything absolute. It's better to say as little big words as possible. But is there a feeling of accelerating your heartbeat?"

The second round that Durandal anticipated had finally arrived.

What else could Bronie's close combat bring to herself?

Adrenaline began to be secreted, and her heartbeat began to accelerate.

"Come on! My heart is racing!"
