HI3: I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

Due to the effect of her Light Speed Spin skill, the longer Rozaliya used Typhoon! YAY!, the higher the accumulated damage became.

In less than a minute, Rozaliya had nearly wiped out all the lizardmen.

However...

Because of spinning too fast for too long...

"Ah~ Ahh... Aaah... So dizzy!"

It seemed Rozaliya had once again spun herself into a dizzying whirl.

While Rozaliya was still reeling and hadn't recovered yet, the remaining two-legged dragon in mid-air seized the opportunity.

It immediately charged towards Rozaliya.

In the distance, Liliya, who was engaged with the lizardman mage, noticed the two-legged dragon's sudden move. Her expression shifted as she ignored the fleeing mage before her.

Her body instantly vanished...

And when she reappeared, it was above Rozaliya.

"I'll protect you, Rozaliya!"

Liliya, swinging her greatsword through the air, sliced the attacking two-legged dragon in half with one swift strike.

-

A few minutes later, as they gazed upon the battlefield strewn with corpses,

Rozaliya perched atop the hilt of Sleeping Beauty, her expression revealing a profound loneliness that accompanies invincibility.

Meanwhile, Liliya... leaned against Swan Lake, showing signs of drowsiness once again.

Battle was incredibly draining on their energy.

"Rozaliya, what's next?" Liliya asked, propping herself up against the greatsword and eyeing Rozaliya's smug demeanor. "Should we continue searching for the red dragon?"

Having grown accustomed to Rozaliya's narcissistic and arrogant habits, Liliya didn't bat an eye. She figured, if it makes her happy, let her be.

"Absolutely! We need to seize the opportunity while it's hot... The dragon already knows we're here, so why wait until tomorrow? The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can collect our bounty and head back." Upon hearing this, Rozaliya jumped down, and her white tail wrapped around the sword's hilt, dragging it closer to Liliya.

"Alright then! Let's wrap this up quickly so we can get some rest!" Liliya chuckled, her eyelids growing heavy with fatigue.

"But before we go... we still need to upgrade our skills. Let's finish that first."

"We'll have enough time on the way. Let's go!" Liliya pulled on Rozaliya's arm.

"Alright."

Among all the dragons, the red dragon's physique was undoubtedly colossal.

Even in its juvenile stage, it could reach nearly twenty meters in size, and as an adult, it could grow to be hundreds of meters long.

However... it wasn't just its size that set it apart. Among all the evil dragons, the red dragon was undoubtedly the greediest of them all.

Compared to other evil dragons, the red dragon would tirelessly devise ways to add treasures to its hoard, especially those sparkly items.

Gems, gold coins, diamonds, crystals...

Thus, every red dragon was bound to be immensely wealthy.

But beyond its greed, even by the standards of dragons, it was incredibly arrogant. This manifested primarily in its haughty demeanor and contempt for other creatures.

A red dragon's claws and fangs were top-tier among all dragons, giving it formidable close-quarters combat skills.

However, as a dragon capable of flight, it particularly enjoyed engaging enemies from above. It would first use long-range attacks to wear down the opponent's fighting ability before moving in for the kill.

These attacks could include elemental magic or powerful dragon breath.

And then there was the dragon's special breath attack.

-

"Here's the red dragon's lair," Liliya and Rozaliya thought, standing on the slopes of Mount of Fire and gazing at the massive cave up ahead, surprised despite themselves.

It was a colossal cavern, hundreds of meters wide...

Around its entrance roamed two-legged dragons and... lizardfolk and centaurs.

"What a monstrous cave..."

"We barely even approached, but I can already feel a kind of pressure—surely that's the dragon's might?"

Dragons possess a unique ability: dragon might. This is often the first challenge one faces when confronting a dragon. With this aura alone, many enemies are paralyzed without even a strike.

Only beings with an iron will can remain composed under the influence of "dragon might." The rest succumb to panic and tremors, rendering them incapable of battle.

But the dragon might had little effect on Rozaliya and Liliya, after all, they held the emperor-level honkai beasts' aptitude.

How could a mere dragon might faze them?

"I heard it's a fully grown red dragon—not to be underestimated..." Liliya looked at the dragon's lair, suddenly very serious. "Rozaliya, let's not take this lightly."

"Rest assured, I've already looked into it... Although red dragons are immune to negative control effects and resistant to mid- to low-grade physical and elemental attacks, they suffer at least double damage from powerful ice-type assaults."

Rozaliya now appeared confident as she gazed at Liliya.

"Ice-type... Unfortunately, we haven't unlocked any ice-type Valkyries yet. If we could use Goushinnso: Memento or the frost-controlling mistress of the moon, Tsuki, then... couldn't we easily dispatch the red dragon?"

Liliya glanced at the Valkyries interface, feeling a twinge of regret at the sight of locked Memento and Tsuki.

"We don't need an ice-type Valkyrie, though. A weapon will do. If we... used an ice-type Weapon of the Gods against it, what would happen?" As she spoke, something suddenly materialized in Rozaliya's hand.

It was a weapon resembling a monster's head: the top half was a deep blue, fading to black at the bottom, with a cannon mouth in between.

"The Chiyou Cannon, one of the Weapons of the Gods derived from Chiyou's remains by the Schicksal Group. Chiyou..."

Like Benares, it was a Judgement-ranked Honkai Beast.

However, unlike Benares—

While Benares' Judgement rank reflected its true power, Chiyou's rank was due to the fact that the highest level of Honkai Beasts in Honkai Impact 3rd was Judgement.

Therefore, Chiyou was also only Judgement rank.

The Chiyou Cannon, made from the head of the Judgement-ranked Honkai Beast Chiyou and the rare and powerful soulium found in the Honkai World, possessed far greater destructive potential than its portrayal in the game...

In terms of sheer destructive force alone, the Chiyou Cannon far surpassed even the 5th Divine Key. However, to maintain game balance, its recharge time was significantly longer, and for other reasons not yet fully understood... it had been deemed inferior to the 5th Divine Key in gameplay.
