As time ticked by, the black screen began to display images, but they were from a first-person perspective.
"Kiana... this time, no matter what... I will save you."
The familiar voice stunned everyone at the Honkai Impact 3rd experience store. Wasn't that Aunt Himeko's voice? Bronya's mind conjured a fiery red figure.
That person, carrying a greatsword, wore a powerful and confident smile, as if her back could always be trusted.
Even Wendy paused her meal. Although Teacher Himeko wasn't her teacher, she had heard of this person.
She had fought the Herrscher of the Void, even faced the Herrscher of Reason alone, and ultimately sacrificed herself, creating a sliver of breathing room. After all, if no one had stepped forward to stop the Herrscher of the Void then, even more people would have died.
"Lu Ze, I'm not hearing things, right? This isn't by any chance..."
Hearing the trembling voice of the other person, Lu Ze nodded somewhat awkwardly. Although Bronya, who had played Honkai Impact 3rd, knew this day would come eventually, she hadn't expected it so soon.
"Do we still have a chance? Even if... there's only a little hope, I beg you to save her!"
These words made Lu Ze somewhat troubled. Didn't he wish he could? But... he didn't have the ability! The dead could not be resurrected. The only hope lay in drawing a past Himeko from the gacha.
"I'll try my best... for now, let's eat. One cannot dwell on the past forever. I also want to revive her, but we must wait for an opportunity, for the right moment."
Bronya knew she couldn't push too hard and could only nod helplessly.
The video continued, and familiar music began to play.
What is reflected in my eyes
Not the moonlight in a starless midnight
That showers on the people passing by.
One's so small and the world's so wide,
Every step forward echoes as sigh,
I reach out for the halo far up high.
Deeply engraved, my memory is silent but not forgotten indeed,
Someone has gone but a voice within me.
Once I remember all the tales written inside this corp no more frail,
I'll follow what my heart used to believe.
Himeko silently gazed at the blue potion in her hand. As the elevator ascended, a colossal dragon landed on the deck.
Thinking of the past, thinking of everyone.
Whether it was Fu Hua, or Mei, or Theresa, Kiana, Mei—seeing them affectionately call her name, her heart was no longer at peace.
"How... how could I possibly abandon you, Kiana? I told you, I am your instructor, and I am your captain. No matter what happens to you, I will save you!"
Looking at the giant white dragon before her, Himeko placed the blue potion into the armor's storage compartment, drew her massive greatsword from her back. The greatsword left slight indentations even as it struck the deck.
Dragging the enormous greatsword, she charged forward and swung with all her might, cleaving directly into its scales.
These sparks shine and never fade till the break of day.
The white giant dragon instantly unleashed a gale, and ice shards swept along with the wind, instantly creating a whirlwind on the deck.
Himeko resisted with all her might, constantly shifting positions, trying to find a weakness, running rapidly across the deck.
Then, red flames ignited on the greatsword...
Deeply engraved, my memory is silent but not forgotten indeed,
The immense sword struck directly at the dragon's head, followed by a powerful slam, causing even the proud dragon's head to fall to the ground. Just as she was about to finish off the Herrscher of Reason, a blinding purple light appeared.
Immediately, everything around them changed. Countless floating stones drifted in the air, and the entire battleship entered a special domain. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
A white-haired woman, wearing high heels and yellow gloves, walked step by step through the sky, each tap of her heel sounding like the descent of death.
"Human... you truly surprise me. To go to such lengths for this girl, your courage is admirable. However, you will die here today, killed before this girl's eyes!"
Someone has gone but a voice within me.
"Don't think I'm afraid of you, Herrscher of the Void! Today, I will definitely save Kiana!"
Saying this, she dragged the greatsword with all her might and charged forward, intending to cleave the Herrscher of the Void's head in one blow.
But the latter sneered, her right hand clawing at the void and then pulling back. Himeko, who had been running on the ground, was instantly flung towards her.
Then, something unseen struck her stomach heavily, sending her flying and kicking up a cloud of dust.
