Chapter 37: The Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, Reanna Brigantia
Two soldiers were driving an armored vehicle, cautiously approaching a monster hovering there.
"Strange, a monster..."
When the distance was close enough, even with a soldier's courage and bravery, facing such an inhuman monster was somewhat frightening.
It was a biological structure that was difficult for ordinary people to describe... no, it should be said that it was impossible to understand.
Some tentacles had a series of eyes, some had a series of pincers, and some had a series of indescribable mouthparts.
These tentacles were fixed like barnacles on a rectangular piece of granite—perhaps it was a tombstone. In any case, they formed a whole, like a wriggling worm, which was disgusting and terrifying.
The only thing the two soldiers were sure of was that it was the only one in the park.
Even if they fired the shells from the armored vehicle... could they really cause any damage to it?
They had to try to resist anyway.
It wasn't because they didn't want to call for support to deal with it together, but the monster had already seen their armored vehicle and was slowly moving toward them.
One soldier trembled as he pressed the red button on the armored vehicle. A shell shot out and hit the monster accurately, causing a violent explosion.
That was a destructive force that could easily blow up a basketball court. The two soldiers stared nervously at the smoke-filled front, praying that the armored vehicle's attack would have the desired effect.
Unfortunately, after the smoke cleared, the monster was completely unharmed, with the exception of the granite it had been sitting on being shattered.
At the same time, as if enraged, its tentacles flew rapidly toward the armored vehicle, and those running in front easily cut through the solid armor on the surface of the vehicle.
Within a few seconds, the entire armored vehicle would be broken into pieces by this monster, and those inside it would naturally not be able to escape.
Just as the two soldiers were praying in their hearts, a ray of lightning shot out from behind the armored vehicle and accurately hit the monster, causing its movements to stop.
Then, they saw a figure flash by like lightning and stand in front of the armored vehicle in an instant.
"That's... a human? Is this the speed a human can have?"
While the two soldiers were still confused, they found that the distance between them and the human was getting farther and farther.
But the human hadn't moved...
Only then did they realize that the armored vehicle they were riding in was rapidly moving backward under the influence of some force.
After using electromagnetic force to control the armored vehicle to retreat to a safe area, Kirataka focused his attention on the Honkai beast in front of him.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Joyce, who had not yet awakened his Herrscher ability, and the two doctors who were already powerless, were indeed far inferior to him.
Perhaps because it was a long time ago, the Honkai beasts of this era were much inferior to the modern ones in terms of strength and number, so it was not difficult for him to deal with them.
After clearing the area along the traffic jam, this should be the last place where Honkai beasts were active.
The barnacle-shaped Honkai beast, paralyzed by the electric current, finally reacted and attacked him again, but Kirataka easily grabbed one of its tentacles.
The excessive electric current was transmitted directly into its body through physical contact. After a violent tremor, the Honkai beast finally lost its life and fell completely to the ground.
"Phew, anyway, this should be the last one around here... Let's go back to Joyce and the others," Kirataka clapped his hands.
After training seriously in Saint Freya for a period of time, his strength had improved to a considerable extent, and it was no problem for him to clear out these Honkai beasts.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his heart suddenly began to beat faster.
Specifically, it was like the feeling he had when he saw Rita on Hyperion some time ago—a direct sense that a strong person was approaching.
Sure enough, soon a golden figure fell from the sky and landed in front of him.
She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and Roman curls, and was wearing a white knight's suit embellished with gold decorations.
She held a beautiful white spear in her hand, which was the Sixth Divine Key—Black Abyss White Flower.
After landing in front of Kirataka, she introduced herself directly:
"I am Reanna Brigantia, the Valkyrie of the Schicksal Headquarters, and I am here on the orders of the Bishop to deal with the Eruption of New York."
"Hello, I'm Kirataka from the North American branch," he replied.
He recognized this heroic Valkyrie as the most powerful Valkyrie of this era and the holder of the Black Abyss White Flower.
Moreover, unlike Kallen Kaslana five hundred years ago or Cecilia Schariac in the future, this Reanna had held the position of the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal for a hundred years.
This was not because of her special physique. No matter how special her physique was, it could not compare to the bloodline of Kaslana or Shaniat.
The real reason was that she had undergone body transformation by the Bishop of Schicksal. Over a period of one hundred years, she had undergone thousands of body transformation operations, constantly replacing various parts of her body with Soulium, eventually building her current Soulium body.
She was tireless, had strength beyond that of ordinary people, and her combat power did not decline over time. At the same time, she could wield the power of the Black Abyss White Flower.
In a sense, rather than calling her a Valkyrie, it would be better to regard her as a machine—a tireless war machine.
Reanna smiled and said:
"I originally came here to clear out the nearby Honkai beasts, but I didn't expect that you had already cleared them all. You did a good job, young man."
"Thank you for the compliment... So, have you eliminated all the Honkai beasts in other areas of New York?" Kirataka asked.
Reanna nodded noncommittally.
'As expected of an S-rank...' Kirataka thought silently in his heart.
She single-handedly cleared out the Honkai beasts in most areas of the city at an impressive speed, living up to her status as the Chief Valkyrie of Schicksal.
"However, just cleaning it up once cannot completely solve the crisis in this city. Kirataka, I will now recruit you as a soldier under my jurisdiction. In the future, you will continue to be on guard against the Honkai creations."
Reanna said seriously.
As long as the source of Honkai energy had not been completely resolved, Honkai beasts would continue to appear in every corner of the city.
After the tragedy in Berlin three years ago, she did not intend to request a force to be dispatched to New York before thoroughly investigating the situation, in order to avoid any unexpected accidents.
"I have no objection, but I have some companions over there, so we should act together for now," Kirataka pointed in the direction of the road.
Joyce and the others were still waiting there.
Reanna nodded and said briskly:
"Let me go meet them."
