HI3: I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

Lilya gazed at Rozaliya before her. It was finally time to test Lilya's abilities.

In truth, Lilya was even more fun and overpowered than Rozaliya, primarily due to her ultimate move and charged attack.

Ultimate Move:We'll Bury You

Lilya assumed a defensive posture, becoming virtually invincible at that moment. Regardless of the enemy's attacks, she could instantly absorb them completely and counterattack with a force ten times or more powerful.

It was akin to the sword demon's technique, where upon the enemy's attack, she would immediately analyze, neutralize, or even absorb their formidable assault. Before the enemy could recover, she would instantly counter with a strike ten to twenty times stronger than the original. Then, she would replenish her honkai energy.

Moreover, Lilya's ultimate move had an extremely short cooldown period.

One could say that if Lilya maintained her defensive stance, she would be invincible against all adversaries.

Begging for a Defeat, Yet Unable to Find One...

The Orphanage's Sword Saint (Sword Demon) - Liliya Olenyeva

Here comes Lilya's Super Attack...

Sturmovik!

Recall that move where she descended from the sky like a... sword?

Lilya leaped into the air, launching a swift aerial strike. She plummeted from above, slicing through her opponent's defenses, shields, and energy barriers with unequalled ferocity.

-

Liliya gazed at Rozaliya before her, mustered her strength for two heartbeats, then leapt into the sky, climbing to a height of over a hundred meters.

As she looked down at Rozaliya below, Liliya hefted her great sword and initiated a plunging strike, hurtling towards the ground at breakneck speed.

BOOM!

The impact was like a meteorite crashing into Earth.

The ground cracked, fissures spreading out in countless directions...

-

"Rozaliya, let's go faster! If we don't find someplace to stay soon, it's gonna be dark!"

Liliya was riding on Rozaliya's back with her arms wrapped around her neck. Seeing the sun about to set, she couldn't help but urge her friend along.

This is just how Lil has to be, never needing to walk herself when she can make Rozaliya carry her.

"Can't we just spend the night somewhere if we can't find a place?" Rozaliya asked helplessly.

"I don't want to sleep outside," Liliya said. "Even if I could use you as a pillow, what would we do if something attacked us at night?"

Liliya's black tail and Rozaliya's white tail had gotten entangled together like two playful kids.

The two girls were quiet, but their tails were having fun in the background.

*Rozaliya and Liliya (one person) briefly familiarized themselves with the Twin Taur's abilities before leaving their previous location. They were somewhat reluctant to depart; the grass there had been very comfortable to sleep on, and there was a river where they could catch (electrified) fish or swim.

And they hadn't lacked food...

But they couldn't remain in that place forever, not without leaving.

The two still owed so many crystals. Even if they waited for five months, claiming their monthly passes each month, they could indeed pay it off. But idleness would not do.

Besides, their levels were still only in the thirties. Liliya was just an A-rank Valkyrie, and Rozaliya was merely an S-rank Valkyrie. They were far from achieving the SSS rank.

So they had to strive hard...

"You idiot Rozaliya, you didn't bring back any fish when we left," Liliya whispered softly into her ear while leaning against Rozaliya's back, resting her chin on her shoulder. "What will we eat tonight?"

As soon as she spoke, both Rozaliya and Liliya felt a tingling sensation in their ears...

"Are you calling yourself an idiot again, Liliya?"

Liliya responded, and simultaneously, both Rozaliya and Liliya grabbed their ears.

"If there's no food at night, we just won't eat! If it comes down to it, we can always take some chocolate, mooncakes, instant noodles, drinks, rice balls, pastries, and other snacks from the warehouse... there's plenty of it anyway."

"No way! This is the Valkyries' gift. Even if Liliya were starving to death here, even if she had to gnaw on grass from the ground, she wouldn't touch even a crumb of these provisions."

Liliya's words rang out with unwavering conviction, a testament to her ironclad resolve.

"...Smells so tempting," muttered Rozaliya.

"It's not real, Liliya isn't Dr. Wang."

(TL Note: Who?)

"..."

The two of them walked across a grassy plain with sparse tree cover, the ground mostly covered in knee-high grass.

After walking for so long, they hadn't encountered any animals, let alone humans. There hadn't been any signs of human activity at all.

Even if they did meet humans now, given Lilya and Rozaliya's current appearances, it would be clear that they aren't human, wouldn't it?

They had no idea if they could interact normally with this world's humans.

At the moment, both Lilya and Rozaliya were completely clueless about this world; they only knew it was a fantasy setting, and as for anything else...

However, these two young girls weren't worried about their safety at all. Although they were only level 30, one shouldn't underestimate Rozaliya and Lilya's strength.

Besides, Rozaliya still had a gun holstered at her waist:

Divine Key: Judgement Of Shamash

This weapon, which doomed whoever wielded it, might be unapproachable for others. But for Rozaliya—especially with Liliya by her side—it was a different story.

They could use it with reckless abandon.

Because... of the unique bond shared by the twin sisters.

To kill Rozaliya and Liliya, one would have to dispatch them simultaneously. If only Rozaliya were slain, Liliya could revive her instantly at a slight cost to herself.

So, entrusting Judgement Of Shamash to Rozaliya, they knew she could take down powerful enemies along with herself. Then, Liliya would simply resurrect Rozaliya.

This was the source of the twins' unwavering confidence.

Of course, their combined special ability extended beyond this. Rozaliya + Liliya didn't equal 1+1 but rather 1+N, with N representing an ever-growing multiplier of power.

-

As the two continued walking in the same direction, Rosaria suddenly stumbled as if she had accidentally stepped on something, instantly causing her and Liliya, who was on her back, to tumble to the ground together.

Both girls quickly turned their heads to see a massive green serpent—one that neither of them could wrap their arms around—rearing its head.

"Rozaliya, looks like we're having snake meat for dinner tonight."

Liliya's eyes lit up as she gazed at the giant reptile before them.
