The sky plant burned, and the blue sky instantly turned fiery red.
Rain fell from dark clouds. But those light water droplets could not stop this rampant fire.
Kiana, who came out of the center of the flames, walked away from the disaster she created with halting footsteps.
She was still holding her head in pain.
There was a noise in her head that made her feel like she was going crazy.
"Sister Kiana, are you a wake?"
"Elly... Hngh...!!!"
Could feel the intention to destroy everything rising inside her head out of nowhere. Kiana immediately resisted this urge with all her might.
"Elly, stay away... I don't want to hurt you..."
"No, I won't run away if someone needs me."
"Besides that..."
Seeing the black mist surrounding Kiana getting thicker. Elly took out her magic wand, and she was ready to fight.
"...It looks really painful."
With pitying eyes on one side, and crazy eyes on the other. Kiana bent her knees, and she immediately rushed towards Elly angrily.
"Don't underestimate me, even though I'm small, I'm still an ELF weapon!"
Creates a layer of shield, and after that flies into the sky utilizing her characteristics. Elly dodged every archon spear that came from all sides, and she immediately ran away.
Kiana chased her.
"Right, like this, chase me!"
Lure Kiana to the place they agreed on as the ambush spot. Elly looked behind her to check Kiana's condition, and her communicator immediately connected to the other party.
"Sister Kiana has been provoked! Is everyone there ready!?"
"[One minute! Give me one minute!]"
"Understood!"
Turn off the communicator, and take a deep breath. Elly knew that this was going to be a very long minute.
However...
She must believe in the abilities of her teammates.
Therefore, she had to buy as much time as possible to give her a chance.
"Come'on! I'm ready!"
With a rain of archon spears falling on her head, Elly, who knew Kiana's weakness from K-423, immediately entered the empty office apartment building.
The grating walls inside the building make it difficult for Kiana to use the power of her Herrscher of Void stigmata to its full potential. Unless she used her ultimate move suddenly, Elly had the confidence to continue buying time.
Every second, the sound of walls collapsing could be heard from inside the building.
Elly came out of the roof, and the apartment building immediately collapsed to the ground with a huge sound.
Elly rushed towards the empty building across the street.
However, maybe because she kept getting played and got angry, or because Kiana couldn't control her instincts anymore, she started to stop playing chase.
Elly could feel the extremely hot temperature of the fire rising behind her back.
"Danger!"
In the blink of an eye, the building she had just entered immediately turned into burning charcoal filled with flames.
The fragile glass shattered, and Elly came out of the building, her body currently filled with thick smoke.
Some parts of her body had been destroyed.
But...
She didn't stop to continue flying away.
"[Warning, due to excessive energy usage the energy remaining in the core is now only one percent behind.]"
"[Please recharge before running out of energy.]"
....
"Cough! Looks like this is my limit..."
Hearing the notification sound of her body care system, Elly smiled sadly.
The core of the Elf doll is a special customization in the previous era. They have a long service life of more than a thousand years.
There is no portable charging for them to recharge using certain energy.
That meant she had to replace her core with another reactor core before it ran out of energy. But, replacing it in this day and age is impossible.
Their ELF puppet reactor cores were no longer in production after the previous civilization was destroyed.
Her current fate is almost the same as Fuxi who has been deactivated.
"Yeah... This is very unfortunate... But... My mission is complete.."
Falling among the ruins of buildings, and saw Kiana coming towards her slowly. Elly made a small smile.
No matter how difficult it is, beautiful girls must make beautiful smiles even when death approaches them.
"Then I'll leave it to you..."
"Boss..."
Kiana raised her sword high, and the flames, which had a high temperature, immediately burned her sword very fiercely.
"Hey, where are you looking! Your enemy is me!"
Behind Kiana, K-423, who had been waiting for a long time, was now ready to launch an attack.
Taking a stance, and getting into a position ready to hit, in front of K-423, there was currently a stream of colorful crystals that solidified into a ball.
All the colorful crystal shards came from K-423's peeling body.
"You really made me angry black monster. Not only did you damage the stigmata world, you also hurt my friends."
"Absolutely unforgivable."
A crystal ball formed in front her, and K-423 felt the entire world around her become extremely slow.
"Take this!"
Without giving Kiana a chance to react, K-423 immediately hit the crystal ball with all her might!
"BANG!!!"
The black mist surrounding Kiana disappeared instantly.
Kiana, who returned to consciousness, saw K-423's body slowly breaking apart.
She saw her smile.
"It looks like it worked..."
____
Live like a butterfly.
Even though it is short, it is very meaningful.
K-423 didn't know where she had read it, but she really liked these words because she felt that this butterfly was very similar to her.
The plan she came up with was actually quite simple. Because the two of them are connected through stigmata, K-423 wants to give Kiana a new Light Cone that can give her an anti-virus.
Even though the memories they had gathered currently were not enough to create a new Light Cone, she could use her own existence to fill this gap.
However it all turned out to be successful.
"What are you looking at?"
In an empty all-white room, K-423 turned around, to see Thea who was waiting for her quietly.
"Am I dead?"
"Yes, I came here to pick you up."
"So."
Seeing K-423 lower her head gloomily, Thea tilted her head in confusion.
"What is it?"
"No... nothing."
She only thought about Kiana at the moment.
What will happen when sister valkyrie finds out that she is dead?
Now she couldn't accompany her to the end of the journey.
Will she feel lonely?
Thea smiled: "Are you worried about Kiana?"
K-423 nodded: "Hm, big sister valkyrie will definitely feel sad when she finds out that I have died."
Thea walked over, and she rubbed the little girl's head gently.
"She won't. She is Kiana after all, she won't cry like a little girl anymore."
Kiana was in the world of stigmata, kneeling on the ground, and she currently felt like her body had lost strength.
Her breathing became labored.
She lowered her head.
Her shoulders were shaking.
"You're right, sister valkyrie couldn't possibly feel sad, after all she is a tough person!"
"Even though I couldn't finish the journey to the end with her, at least I've prepared a parting gift for her! She won't feel lonely anymore!"
"What kind of gift is that?"
"Hehehe, secret!"
Kiana stretched out her shaking hand, and she picked up the transparent Light Cone that had fallen next to the baseball bat.
There's a very bright picture in there.
Bianka is on the right, and Elly is on the left. Having a smile as bright as the sun, K-423 presented the gift to her like it could cross a picture.
There is an inscription on the back.
"[Even though we have only known each other briefly, I actually feel very happy. Thank you for bringing new colors to my life.]"
"[This is a gift for the cutest Elly!]"
"[This is a gift for the greatest Big Sister Bianka!]"
"[And this is a gift for my most handsome guardian knight!]"
"[Thank you for the beautiful memories!]"
When Kiana squeezed her fingers slightly, the Light Cone in her hand immediately shattered like fragile pieces of glass dust.
There are no leftovers.
Like an illusion.
Kiana bit her lower lip so tightly that it dripped blood.
"Let us go home."
"Hm!"
K-423 took Thea's hand with a bright smile, and they returned home to where they came from.
