HI3: I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

To Liliya's surprise, the combination of mechanical and ability experience chips she possessed managed to level up both herself and Rozaliya—pushing Liliya to level 32, just shy of her current level 37 threshold.

At least this was enough to equip their new weapons and stigmata adequately.

-

As Liliya's level had already increased, her skill levels now needed to catch up.

Liliya's account boasted a substantial number of skill points and materials, with plenty of gold to spare for the time being.

For someone who had spent years grinding every day, leveling up before reaching level 30 didn't consume too many resources.

Some Skills at 30th Level Ability:

3/7 [Skill Material: Video]

Great Headbutt Skill: 1/7 [Skill Material: Video]

Boggart: 3/6 [Skill Material: Stylus]

Stomp: XX/XX [Skill Material: Quest]

Splishy-Splashy: 2/6 [Skill Material: Video]

Berserk: 2/5 [Skill Material: Quest]

Battle Form: 3/7 [Skill Material: Quest]

Command: 1/6 [Skill Material: Quest]

Liliya gazed at her elder sister Rosaliya standing on the shore, then clambered up and lay panting beside her.

Rosaliya strode over to Liliya, took a step to straddle her younger sister's back, and settled onto Liliya's thighs. It was almost as if she considered this position second nature.

From within the storage unit, three fully enhanced Beethoven five-star Stigmata emerged, bathed in starlight, ready to testify to the integrity of history.

Examining this set of Beethoven Stigmata, it seemed the illustrator had finally avoided overly feminizing the character.

Rozaliya held up the topmost piece of the Stigmata. This must be a cute gray-haired boy, right?

But in the second image...

"Sweet mother of god... is this supposed to be a boy or a girl? Even our class president looks more manly than this..."

Rozaliya gazed at the central piece of the Beethoven Stigmata in her hand. Was it a long-haired gray girl? Or perhaps a boy? The character wore white stockings and a small blue dress, quite a pretty outfit...

Rozaliya fell silent.

Then came the lower piece of the Beethoven Stigmata, making it even harder to discern the character's gender.

Like a swift rabbit, one's feet blur In this chase; like a dazed doe, eyes unfocused As we run side by side—how can you tell me apart?

How utterly fascinating...

Has the illustrator community for HI3 developed such a penchant for androgyny?

After internally grumbling for a bit, Rozaliya glanced down at Liliya, who was still pinned beneath her.

Unable to resist, she reached out to caress Liliya's smooth back. Then... two distinct sensations traveled deep into her mind.

"Ahem..."

With a guilty start, Rozaliya paused her errant hand. She began equipping stigmata on Liliya, carefully aligning and symmetrical positioning them across her icy, porcelain-like back.

"All set! Liliya," Rozaliya announced, stepping back and applauding her work as she watched the stigmata coalesce into crimson patterns on Liliya's back.

"Now it's Liliya's turn to equip stigmata on Rozaliya," Liliya said, sprawling herself over her companion with an air of calm assurance.

We're one and the same, after all—there's no need for such formalities, Liliya mused. Yet, for some reason, these words slipped out as if of their own accord.

Rozaliya obediently lay still as Liliya rummaged through the inventory. She selected three stigmata:

[Michelangelo (Top)] [Ekaterina (Center)] [Michelangelo (Bottom)]

The choice of the Bottom Michelangelo was strategic; its critical hit damage boost was one of its key advantages over other stigmata.

For a character like Molotov Cherry, whose strength relied heavily on critical hits, this was crucial. Mupmi might be too unpredictable and lead to an untimely demise...

(TL Note: Mupmi(米普米 ) refers to a specialized stigmata setup in Honkai Impact 3rd, combining Michelangelo and Planck stigmata to boost physical damage and attack speed, popular for enhancing Valkyries focused on normal attacks. )

米普米 

米=Michelangelo

普=Planck米=Michelangelo

After her selection, Liliya began preparing to equip Rozaliya with these three Stigmata.

She started with the upper Saint Seal, silently calculate the appropriate position, and began to imprint it.

Just in case, Liliya pressed down firmly on Rozaliya's back...

Eh, Sister Rozaliya's back feels... so soft...

Liliya glanced around, ensuring no one else was coming. Unable to resist, she began to explore Rozaliya's back.

The sensation... smooth, delicate, and utterly white...

As expected of a lolita.

However, as Liliya's hand glided across Rozaliya's back, she felt as if someone were stroking her own body.

She experienced both the act of touching and being touched...

Then, to do or be...

Ah, stop thinking like that! It's so perverted. Definitely the influence of these two erotic la-la bodies affecting me.

Liliya quickly blamed the situation.

"Ahem... ahem..."

"Ahem... ahem..."

At that moment, a peculiar sound suddenly emanated from both Rosaria and Liliya's mouths simultaneously.

Liliya instantly collapsed, her weight once again pressing against Rosaria's back.

We haven't even started anything... So why is this happening?

After resting for quite some time, Liliya finally climbed back onto Rosaria's back and resumed equipping her with the holy stigmata.

Once the mid and lower stigmata were swiftly fastened to Rosaria's back, Liliya crawled up. She then pulled her elder sister Rosaria to her feet.

Now... it's time to test the combat skills of the Twin Goddesses Rosaria and Liliya!

Since battle awaited, each young girl assumed personal control over her body.

The so-called host consciousness could only manage everyday tasks; true combat required unwavering focus, maintaining a delicate balance of attention between both individuals.

Only then could they achieve perfect coordination in battle.

-

First was the elder sister, the Molotov Cherry, Rozaliya. She closed her eyes, beginning to accept the skills from the Valkyries' bodies.

The two Valkyrie twins possessed innate mastery of spatial jumps, and their skill in manipulating space, while perhaps not quite on par with the Queen of the Void, Sirin, was still highly impressive.

Looking straight ahead, Rozaliya used a spatial jump to instantly vanish, reappearing exactly 99 meters away.

Since breaking free from the game, many changes had occurred in Rozaliya's abilities.

Spatial jumps were no longer limited to tiny distances but could now cover hundreds of meters. As her strength increased, this ability would only grow more potent.

Spatial jumps came naturally to both Rozaliya and her sister Liliya, requiring no energy or resources and allowing them to use it freely at will.

After practicing spatial jumps for a while, Rozaliya held Sleeping Beauty with her tail and observed the small forest before them.

CHOP CHOP!

(TL Note: Goofy attack names, but the wiki does not lie)

With four consecutive swings of her greatsword, each strike carried an unparalleled force. This was also the fundamental ability of characters wielding such weapons.

Moreover, when Rozaliya initiated these strikes, her sister Liliya could provide flawless assistance, creating a series of coordinated slashes.

Additionally, as long as Liliya was nearby, even if Rozaliya perished instantly, Liliya could sacrifice a portion of her own life force to instantly revive Rozaliya.

TYPHOON! YAY!

The attack is abbreviated as Whirlwind Slash!

Rozaliya, wielding the great sword Sleeping Beauty with both hands, executed a continuous spinning assault akin to Garen's signature move.

The longer the duration, the greater the damage. However...

"Ahoooooh... My head is spinning!"

After several dozen seconds, Rozaliya found herself dizzy from the exertion...

In that moment, Liliya hastily rushed forward to steady the disoriented Rozaliya.

At that moment, Liliya suddenly lifted Rozaliya and forcefully threw her into the air.

"Super Headbutt!"

Rozaliya, like a missile, drove her head directly into the ground with full force.

An enormous crater, tens of meters wide, instantly appeared on the surface.

Immediately after, Rozaliya used space teleportation to flash away from the giant pit. She shook her head briefly, emerging completely unscathed.
