Chat Group: Starting by Body Swapping with Elysia? - Chapter 139 Part 3

Thinking this secretly, Rita gripped her Scythe tightly and showed a confident smile.

A mere Herrscher of Wind was nothing special!

I am Rita of Schicksal headquarters, capable of slaying Herrscher Wendy!

“Awaken, master of the refrigerator!”

With a light chant, the Pale Moon appeared behind her.

Smiling, Sister Rita’s eyes also carried some annoyance.

Originally, the Pale Moon’s activation phrase should have been “Awaken, master of frost,” and she thought this phrase was quite cool.

But after being perfected by Jiang Qiao, the Argent Knight system’s summoning phrase had directly changed from the original “frost” to “refrigerator”…

The extremely cool summoning phrase instantly became embarrassingly cringe, leaving Rita somewhat helpless.

Regarding this, Jiang Qiao’s explanation was: There was a small bug when perfecting it, and fixing it might cause more bugs, so since it’s not really important, just use it like this.

Rita was somewhat displeased — how could changing one sentence cause bugs!

That bad person was definitely doing it on purpose!

“After returning to Schicksal, I’ll definitely change this summoning phrase back!”

Thinking this secretly, Rita swung her scythe, cut through the incoming wind blades with a flourish, then charged toward Wendy.

— The battle between the two was quite intense, highlighting that… neither could do anything to the other.

Wendy’s AOE tornadoes were too slow to hit Rita, and while the wind blades could hit, they would be blocked by the Pale Moon. As for Rita… it was awkward — her ranged attack capability was basically zero.

The Argent Knight system was designed this way, with maxed close combat ability. As long as they engaged in close combat, she could continuously ice-erode opponents through the armor’s accompanying cold air, making enemy movements incredibly slow.

For Rita, who specialized in anti-personnel combat, this was tailor-made. As long as it was close combat, even Lady Durandal would suffer losses when fighting her.

But unfortunately…

Herrschers were all mages!

Each one had awesome Herrscher authorities but wouldn’t use them to fight you in close combat — what kind of pipe dream was that?

Wendy had a circle of tornadoes around her. If you dared to rush in, the chaotic airflow would instantly shred Rita to pieces.

The Pale Moon’s only ranged method, when shot inside, directly gave Wendy’s wind an ice enchantment. What was originally just airflow now had ice shards mixed in after one wave.

Ice erosion… Whether Wendy’s movements became slower was unknown, but Rita felt her hands and feet were already starting to stiffen.

“This is bad!”

Barely shattering a wind bullet mixed with ice shards, Sister Rita, who originally thought she could single-handedly take down a Herrscher, found it difficult to handle.

This was impossible to fight — she was being countered!

— Actually, Wendy wasn’t much weaker than her to begin with.

As Schicksal’s youngest and most talented new-generation A-rank Valkyrie, except for experience compared to veteran A-rank Valkyries like Murata Himeko, Wendy was outstanding in everything else among the new generation.

If she hadn’t been delayed by the Gem of Desire, in another two or three years with matching Godsbane-class Battlesuit, she would have directly become the fourth S-rank Valkyrie.

Now having directly become the Herrscher of Wind, her strength had multiplied.

Rita estimated that in all of Schicksal, only Lady Durandal could reliably handle this bob-cut girl.

“Boom!”

A massive tracking wind bullet came head-on. Rita, whose stamina had been somewhat depleted, reacted a bit slowly and was hit directly before she could dodge.

Seizing the opportunity, Wendy coldly smiled and followed up with a wind blade capable of cutting through warships: “It’s over!”

“Clang.”

Massive dust and smoke enveloped Sister Rita’s position, along with a faint metallic clash.

Wendy, inexperienced in combat, didn’t notice anything unusual and thought the battle was over, immediately relaxing her guard.

The next moment—

“Bang!”

Her pupils suddenly constricted as Wendy saw an azure blue metallic mechanical fist reflected in her eyes. She instinctively tried to block but couldn’t react in time, getting punched directly in the abdomen.

“Gah!”

The merciless force struck that smooth abdomen, directly causing the excited green Seele to go from extreme joy to sorrow. Her pretty face scrunched up like a ball, curling up like a shrimp as she was sent flying.

The next moment, the dust was torn apart by invisible force, revealing the short figure standing protectively in front of Rita.

“You couldn’t beat her?”

The silver-haired girl’s delicate and emotionless little face looked over Rita, who was covered in wounds from wind blades, her expression somewhat strange.

Sister Rita felt embarrassed:

“…Cough cough, Rita’s compatibility with her isn’t very good.”

“…”

Upon hearing this reason, 【Bronya】 immediately became a living meme.

Please, do you know what this green Seele’s combat value is?

800 HW! A full 800 HW!

Her gaze shifted to Wendy, who was walking out of the ruins, and Jiang Qiao’s expression became rather odd.

It seemed that because The Cocoon had diverted too much Honkai energy to the front end of the Imaginary branches, although the Previous Era’s Herrscher of Wind had become somewhat terrifying, the Current Era’s one had become severely malnourished due to nutritional deficiency.

Even the weakest Herrscher usually had 2,000 HW… oh, that was also this one.

— In other words, Wendy was in an even worse situation than originally, directly dropping from the original 2,000 HW to 800 HW, equivalent to a medium-sized Honkai energy reactor.

Although a Herrscher’s strength couldn’t be equated with Honkai energy levels — after all, Herrschers were creatures that relied on Authority, and as long as they were washed by a major Honkai eruption, their level could rise rapidly.

But with such low energy levels… the mana bar was too small!

This was especially true for Wendy, a mage-type Herrscher.

The higher her energy level, the bigger the winds she could blow.

If this were a 2,000 HW Wendy, Sister Rita would probably have to run just from one glance.

Wendy, possessing strong vitality, covered her abdomen with her mouth bleeding slightly red, and said quite angrily:

“You bastard, you actually sneak attacked me!”

How despicable!

“All’s fair in war.”

“But if you want a fairer battle, that’s fine too.”

“Great!”

Although very angry about being sneak attacked by this unfamiliar girl, whether it was because of being ‘green Seele’ or not, Wendy was quite interested in the ducky before her.

Especially — she felt the other seemed very strong.

“However—”

The silver-haired girl’s milky voice suddenly took a turn.

“If you lose, you’ll obediently behave yourself, how about that?”

Wendy’s nature wasn’t bad, but unfortunately he had come too late. After becoming a Herrscher, with her personality amplified, green Seele could no longer be approached using Bronya’s original method, and moreover, Jiang Qiao had no interest in such slow methods.

So, he chose a more direct approach — beat her into submission!

First beat this unlucky kid up, and as for the ideological work afterward, that could be done slowly.

“Hmph, no problem.”

Wendy snorted lightly, her face full of confidence.

That was just a sneak attack earlier; she simply hadn’t reacted in time.

I even beat an S-rank Valkyrie, how could I not beat you?

— I’m the Herrscher of Wind!
