Chapter 5: Despair and Hope

"Damn it, she can't listen to anyone! What the hell is going on?"

Kiana evaded Wendy's attack with difficulty, covered her bleeding wound, and began to complain subconsciously. After all, she couldn't beat her. She just used her mouth to awaken Wendy's human consciousness. Now, Wendy can't listen to anything.

Even Bronya has started bombardment mode, completely ignoring herself and Mei. Since Bronya attacked Wendy, she seemed to appear like a different person.

But there was no way. The situation had already escalated, and Kiana couldn't continue to complain for too long. After a short rest, she joined the battle again.

"Kiana, how are you? Are you okay?"

Seeing Kiana coming back, Mei was also subconsciously worried. After all, Kiana had been protecting her during the battle just now, even taking a wind blade from Wendy for her.

Although the situation was indeed a bit difficult at the time, because she also had to deal with Bronya's heavily armored bunny, she didn't have the energy to deal with Wendy's sneak attack.

But if it was really that, it wouldn't be a big problem. At most, it would be just a little skin injury. But Kiana still rushed over without hesitation to block the attack for her. At that moment, Mei felt warm in her heart.

"Hehe, Mei, it's okay. This little injury will heal after a rest. Next, we should knock down Wendy first, and then take Bronya back!"

Seeing that Mei cared about her, Kiana also laughed foolishly twice, then raised her right fist and pretended to be full of energy. However, because of the long-term battle, her physical strength was somewhat exhausted, so Kiana's voice was not loud, but a little weak.

"Mei, you continue to fight Bronya, and leave Wendy to me!"

Considering that both Mei and herself were not very strong, Kiana was also planning to gamble and delay time. If it really didn't work, she could only wait until the S-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal arrived.

Hearing this, Mei nodded to Kiana to indicate that she understood, and then rushed towards Bronya.

"Come on, Herrscher! I will never let you take Wendy away!"

Looking at Mei going away, Kiana also shouted and rushed towards the Herrscher-like Wendy.

"You are really an indestructible cockroach. Let me end your life!"

Seeing Kiana running towards her, Wendy was not to be outdone and directly released four wind blades to chop across.

But Wendy seemed to think that this was not enough to kill Kiana, so she added another small tornado behind the wind blade.

The wind blade, compressed to the extreme, was like breaking through the sound barrier, causing bursts of explosions in the air, as if anyone hit by it would be torn in half by the strong wind.

And the small tornado behind the wind blade also blew up a gust of sand and stones, which looked extremely terrifying.

Kiana, who was already lacking in stamina, did not choose to face these fatal attacks head-on but chose to dodge in various ways.

Kiana quickly ran to the surrounding ruins and used the broken walls to temporarily hide her figure, which made two of the four wind blades miss, and the subsequent two wind blades actually directly destroyed the wall and hit Kiana in front of her.

The huge impact force directly caused Kiana to be knocked out, and she stopped after several somersaults in a row.

Due to lack of strength, Kiana couldn't even move for a moment. Feeling the severe pain in her body, Kiana even felt that she would faint in the next second.

But despite this, the attack was far from over. Although the wind blade was blocked by the stone wall, there was nothing to block the tornado behind it.

And with Kiana's current physical strength, even standing up was a very strenuous thing.

Seeing the tornado approaching, the surrounding stones and dust were flying all over the sky, and the tornado was rotating too fast. Some stones even caused secondary damage to Kiana while circling around the tornado.

As more and more sand and stones appeared, Kiana's white armor was scratched with many gaps and scratches, and even the skin inside was scratched, and bright red blood flowed through the white armor.

"Hahahaha! Just die here!"

Wendy, looking down from the sky, laughed loudly at Kiana who had reached her limit and her miserable appearance in the distance.

Of course, because of the loud noise here, Mei also noticed Wendy's direction.

Following Wendy's gaze, Mei found Kiana lying in the ruins with scars all over her body and the tornado that was about to engulf Kiana.

"Kiana!!!"

After seeing Kiana's appearance, Mei could no longer remain calm. Mei slashed with a blade, pushed away the fist of the heavily armored bunny, and turned to run towards Kiana.

After being controlled, Bronya would definitely not give Mei such an opportunity, so she fired several shells directly in Mei's direction.

Because Mei was focused on saving Kiana at this time, she could not care about these things now.

But the whistling shells exploded one after another beside Mei, and the impact of the shells made Mei stagger and almost fall to the ground.

But even so, it greatly delayed Mei's time to rush over, and at this time Bronya also rushed over with the Project Bunny to block Mei.

At this time, Mei thought it was impossible to rescue Kiana, and Mei knew that she could not get through, and for a while, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart.

"Ha... Sure enough, the Herrscher is not something I can fight now."

In the ruins, Kiana raised her arms weakly and murmured softly.

Looking at Mei who was still crying in the distance and regretting not coming over, Kiana felt very uncomfortable.

If she had the power, it wouldn't be like this. Sure enough, she couldn't do anything, the powerless Kiana thought.

"Goodbye, Mei."

Looking at the tornado that was already close at hand, Kiana seemed to be relieved and smiled bitterly at Mei.

Then, the tornado, accompanied by sand and stones in the sky, directly engulfed Kiana's entire body, and Mei, who saw this scene, collapsed on the ground and could only shout Kiana's name loudly.

But what no one expected was that when the tornado engulfed Kiana, a light blue Honkai energy barrier blocked Kiana tightly...
