Bronya raised her hand and expressionlessly ordered, "Project Bunny, fire!"
BOOM!!!
The heavy ion cannon, possessing a cool appearance and devastating power, fired continuously. Even though the rear of the cannon barrel constantly ejected pale blue gas to counteract the recoil, the several-meter-tall Project Bunny 19C still retreated uncontrollably during the firing!
Resorting to guns and cannons at the slightest disagreement—so this is what Bronya, who hasn't joined St. Freya, is like.
Fuli gripped the hilt of Mikazuki. High-speed rotating tracer swords constructed a circular barrier in front of him, blocking half of the pouring cannon fire.
The remaining half, carrying the force to tear through ten-meter-thick alloy steel walls, pierced through the barrier and roared past, but the figure that should have been standing there was long gone.
"Truly (Setsuna Blade)—"
The clear sound of a breeze played by Bronya's ear.
"—makes one even more delighted (Infernal Avi)!"
A slash transcending time fiercely struck the steel arm of Project Bunny, which had transformed into a heavy ion cannon. Judging by its essence, it was exactly the same as the Godspeed Iaido that Rin learned from her sister!
In many fantasy works, such as the Katanagatari eyes, the formula "Imitation," the Mirror Pupil, or Tencent QQ, one can completely master an unfamiliar skill with just a glance. But in this reality where Fuli existed, at least in his impression, no one could truly do this.
Skills are different from daily chores like smashing bricks with a hammer. Their composition involves various aspects.
For example, the circulation rate and direction of internal energy, the construction and activation sequence of Honkai-fied organs, or the degree of force exerted by a certain muscle fiber at a certain moment.
A slight carelessness leads to a difference between heaven and sea.
Take Fuli's Anti-Titan Gymnastics, which he observed from Schicksal Valkyries. In the end, he only learned the form but not the spirit.
It was okay for dealing with D and C-rank mechas, but useless for anything higher.
However, there is an exception, which is when both parties use sub-modules produced by the same system.
In a more Shenzhou style, it's called being from the same school.
Even if the same program has one or two characters changed, the running result won't—well, it will probably still be quite different.
But at least there are traces to follow. As long as the programmer typing the code is capable enough, it is not impossible to restore the original vein direction based on this.
Take the previously mentioned prodigy who inherited the name of Yanqing among the Taixuan Seven Swords as an example.
When he was young and sparred with his grandmaster, after forcefully enduring the opponent's killing move "Epiphyllum Demise · Milky Way Dream Spill," he immediately modified it into "Wind Return Cloud Move · Milky Way Dream Spill" which suited him better.
There was no relationship between Fuli and RIN, let alone being from the same school.
But he knew Sakura · Scatter.
This move was obtained by Yae Sakura from the Sakura Stigmata genes.
And its name in the Previous Era was Setsuna Blade · Yaksha.
Tracing the source based on this, with Fuli's ability, it was not impossible to reverse-engineer the Setsuna Blade · Infernal Avi he had witnessed with his own eyes.
But after all, it was a sword technique honed at the last minute. Coupled with Bronya having already taken sufficient precautions, this Godspeed Iaido ultimately struck the steel wrist of Project Bunny, which quickly returned to defense.
The collision between the blade and the cannon body emitted a sharp cry like a thousand birds (Chidori). Fuli stepped fiercely on the foothold condensed by the Void Flash Step in mid-air, quickly distancing himself from Bronya, who kicked out with the help of her lower limb armor.
He took a moment to glance at Mikazuki's coldly gleaming blade.
There was a slight chip.
The hardness of the armaments constructed by Project Bunny was extremely high. Mikazuki Munechika was already scratching an itch against machinery (doing little damage). Last night it experienced a super high-intensity battle with Rin. Plus, weapons like tachis are naturally brittle. With three debuffs serving it alone, it was perfectly normal for the edge to chip after the collision.
Besides that, the footprint on his calf also symbolized that Fuli hadn't dodged so timely just now.
Many people think the high heels Valkyries wear are flashy and ridiculous on the battlefield.
However, they don't know that those things are equivalent to cold weapons in terms of both manufacturing process and raw materials. Sharpening the edges is a basic operation, and some frenzied ones even open blood grooves on the sides of the heels.
If one were suddenly kicked in a grapple, it would be no different from being stabbed fiercely in a vital spot with a knife.
Unfortunately, Bronya is that frenzied kind.
It is true that her legs were paralyzed in the X-10 experiment in early 2014, but she has lower limb armor for assistance.
Thanks to the slash speed of Infernal Avi far exceeding her estimation, that kick aimed at repelling the enemy was quite hasty; plus the automatic defense of the Silver Haze Flower Seed was timely, so it only left a shallow mark on Fuli's trousers.
This undoubtedly caused Bronya's displeasure. Fuli's slash cut three tenths into the "rabbit," directly rendering the heavy cannon formed by Project Bunny's arm unusable. This meant the girl couldn't reconstruct this extremely lethal anti-ship level armament in a short time.
Fortunately, as the adopted daughter of an Anti-Entropy Enforcer and her only trump card at the moment, the only thing Bronya didn't lack was this kind of stuff.
The battlefield unfolded with lightning speed, and the offensive and defensive sides had already swapped positions several times.
The willfully unleashed crystal-blue sword qi was like stars falling like rain. Mikazuki Munechika picked, slashed, stabbed, or lifted, rolling up bursts of sonic booms while speeding across the battlefield, approaching the petite figure floating in mid-air time and time again like an arrow leaving the string.
However, if Fuli's offensive could be called magnificent and brave, then Bronya's counterattack was an art like playing the piano.
Project Bunny 19C, an important part of Bronya's combat power, is a full-domain combat mecha loaded with gravity modules and possessing multiple combat forms.
When not in combat, it hides beside the user in a quantum state. Upon entering combat, it switches forms according to needs to cope with various environments.
At the same time, it can mount external technological weapons to unlock bigger, more, and stronger cutting-edge modes. It is a growth-type individual armament that will never go out of style.
Project Bunny 19C, over three meters tall, stood before Bronya like a medieval knight, unleashing devastating firepower from its arms and shoulders transformed into various guns and cannons.
The Core Gathering Cannon, firing at twice the speed of sound after magnetic rail acceleration, releasing plasma balls of tens of thousands of degrees upon impact within a small range;
The Lurker Cannon, a quadruple launcher whose explosion diameter depends on the injected Honkai energy, with a maximum destructive power diameter of 300 meters;
The Anti-Ship Pulse Machine Gun Frost Rain, nearly two meters long, accelerating solid needle-shaped bullets in pulses, with a maximum firing rate of 70,000 rounds per second, capable of penetrating ten-meter-thick alloy steel plates in less than a second.
Long guns and short cannons firing at different frequencies surveyed all directions under Bronya's precise control, forcing Fuli, who was wielding blade light, back again and again to the next pre-designed ambush focus fire point.
Flash like Yi shooting down the nine suns, graceful like the gods riding dragons soaring.
Coming like thunder gathering wrath, ending like rivers and seas condensing clear light.
Perhaps in many people's eyes, the bombardment of artillery fire can only be described by power and radius.
However, at this moment, this seven-character regulated verse used by the Poet Saint (Du Fu) to praise Lady Gongsun's sword dance felt absolutely harmonious when placed on the current battlefield!
