Operation Dawn Chapter 26 "The Lion King" Ryan - Part 1

"Remember, we are the guardians of the Honkai Queen, and we are the existence of the 'Fantasy Seed-Honkai Species' to bring the truth of Honkai to the world...... Don't forget who you are, Nele. ”

A tall man with black hair, black-rimmed glasses, and a black trench coat, holding a book titled "The Ancient Gamma Poems: The Epic of King Ruyin", was talking to a thin girl with silver-white hair.

The girl is the one who calls herself "Nerai", she is a half-dragon from outside the world, and her brother "Nebo" is also a half-dragon. The half-dragon people are basically high-level species of "Emperor level Honkai Beast or above", and they belong to the humanoid Honkai beast of the "Fantasy Species-Honkai Species".

"But, brother, why do we have to listen to the Queen? Also, Lord Dagama is ...... Why can't we talk to humans? ”

"Don't have such a stupid idea, Nellai, since leaving our hometown, the Queen has taken in us who are homeless, and we can do anything for the sake of the Queen, you know?"

Nella couldn't believe that he had always respected his brother, the queen's bodyguard known as the "Overlord", loyal to the queen, and a role model for the other "queen's guards". On this day, they received an order from the queen to merge into a new being, to go to Earth, far from the far side of the moon, to fulfill the will of Honkai.

"Garon" is a fusion of Nelai and Neber, and until the two half-dragons merged into this form, they were separate individuals from each other.

Nele was dragged in front of the queen by the "overlord" Neber, and behind the huge throne was the place where the queen was, and the two stood on the high platform of the cliff, waiting for the queen's orders.

"Go ahead." Under the command of a deep, ethereal female voice, Neber dragged Nelei and leaped down the cliff. Rin saw what Nerei had made him see, and he tightened his grip on Hypernetus even more, facing the roaring Garon.

After Nerai's memories ended, she also said to Rin in an extremely ethereal voice, "You must defeat it". Rin heard Nerai's words, and leaped towards Garon, gripped Hypernetus, and stabbed at the red-eyed dragon's head.

Rin was so distraught that before he could stab Garon's head, he was bitten by the huge dragon's head, and then he was thrown hard and fell to the rocky ground, forming a large crater.

"Cheer up! Master, although it is a simulation training, it is also a good opportunity to get acquainted with my true strength! Niele's voice kept cheering him on in his head.

At the same time, the overlord in his body seemed to notice the enemy in front of him, and also spoke:

"It's amazing that there is a fusion of me and my sister here...... If you can't defeat it, I can't admit that you're the kind of person who can harness our power, and when the time comes, I'll snatch your body, remember? Mankind. ”

Rin was only able to pull himself together when he heard the Overlord's words, and he grabbed Hypernetus and crawled out of the pit, facing Garon with determination.

At this time, Rin's heart was extremely resolute, and the idea of defeating it was also very resolute, and he also opened his mouth to say: "I will defeat it, so that I can protect Captain Bronya and become a solid backing for everyone." ”

He leaped again, unsheathed his flying blade, and formed a flying skateboard under his feet, flying up to fight the tall Garon. I saw that the blue-eyed dragon head locked on Rin who was flying in the air and spit out ice breath, but Rin controlled the aircraft to dodge it, and the ice breath grazed his cheeks, forming blood marks after blood.

"Beastmaster Sword Technique, Disembowel!"

With a swift attitude, he jumped towards the dragon's head, and the target went straight to the eyes of the blue dragon's head, and slashed down with a sword, instantly cutting off a large piece of siliconized tissue.

"Split throat, piercing eyes!"

The two knives were sacrificed again, causing a huge bang, and the whole blue dragon head was slashed off. Just as Rin thought the attack was successful, two other dragon heads also came at him, and the severed dragon heads on the ground also spat out a ray of light at him.

Seeing that he was about to be hit, he subconsciously activated the Overlord Black Armor, covering his body and resisting the shock wave of three streams of energy. Then, he activated the demon king's aura, blocking all the energy, and the black aura exploded, sending out a huge shock wave, bouncing the energy back.

"Looks like the training is going well......" In front of the monitor screen, Elysia watched with interest as she ate a sandwich and bread she bought at the breakfast shop and drank soy milk.

And Rin's strength has advanced by leaps and bounds to a new level, and in a matter of minutes, he has cut off all three of Garron's heads, causing it to temporarily stop moving.

"Don't be careless, master."

After the sound of Nellai's reminder, the three heads of Garon suddenly grew out of the broken wounds, exactly the same as before. It seems that this is the reason why the powerful Miss Shizuru failed to stop Garon? Rin thought to herself at this point.

It's just such a strength, and it can't catch up with Miss Shizuliu, or even half of the strength of Captain Bronya, Miss Shizuru back then, I don't know how many times she defeated Garon, but she still let Garon enter the safe zone and slaughtered thousands of innocent residents.

"What can be done to stop it? Nielle? ”

"There is a core in the chest cavity of the Garon, as long as the core is broken, it will not move, and the Garon will also dissolve the fusion form."

However, after the resurrection, the Garron became even more violent, it roared in the sky, the sky suddenly became dark, and a rain of blue meteors began to fall from the sky.

"Master, use the Queen's Shield!"

"What's that?"

"It's a flying shield."

It turned out that I had always called it the "Bone Shield", but I didn't expect that its official name was "Queen Shield", and it really had the style of being a Honkai Queen Guard.

When Rin opened the Queen's shield, the simulated Garon seemed to notice that the human in front of him was hurting himself with the weapon extracted from its remains, and let out a crying cry.

"Rest in peace, my sister and I don't want to be like you anymore." Overlord's voice appeared in Rin's mind at the same time. "Let's do it, Rin."

"I will."

I saw Rin condense the rest of the flying blades and form a grating in front of him, and then, a huge shockwave shot out from the tip of Hypernetus's sword, aiming at the position of Galon's chest, which was where the "core" was located, its heart.

"The Most High Blade!"

Rin seems to have fused consciousness with Nerai and Neber, using a technique that he has never used before. The intense beam of light pierced through Hypernetus, piercing all of Garon's chest, and the giant fell to the ground with a clatter, never to move again.

Along with the memories of the half-dragon brother and sister, Rin looked at the galon formed by the fusion of Nelai and the overlord, and turned into dust with the breeze, and her heart was inevitably full of emotion.

"Brother, do you remember what happened after we fused at that time?"

"I don't remember, at that time, I just wanted to do my duty, but I didn't know why...... Now that I'm free, I don't have to dwell on the past, Nire. ”

Then, Rin felt as if her physical strength had been overdrawn, and she collapsed to the ground with a weak body. A few seconds before he passed out, he saw the pink fairy lady, crouching down slightly, caressing his forehead with her hand.

When he awoke, his head was resting on Elysia's lap, and Elysia was looking at the boy in front of him with a doting look.

"Ah, Xiao Rin, you're awake, sister, I'm here, but I borrowed my thighs from you for a while~ You slept so sweetly ♪"

He quickly pulled Elysia away from his lap, and then looked around, it was still a simulation training room, and it hadn't changed.

"It's really incomprehensible, I originally wanted you to lie down for a while, do you dislike Sister Elysia so much? Or is ~ you're shy, huh? ”

"Did I faint again?" Rin asked. "It seems that the true power of Hypernetus is really ...... It consumes stamina. ”

Elysia replied: "Yes, it seems that I will have to train more intensively in the future, I can't hold up a Galong with such a low difficulty, Xiao Rin, you are really weak, if that's the case, how can you date me, Miss Pink Fairy~♪"

"Don't talk about that...... By the way, Sister Elysia, is there still a difficulty setting for that Garon just now? ”

"Yes, that's the lowest difficulty, after all, I can't guarantee that I will release the galon in its heyday, after all, even me, it may take nearly a minute."

Elysia explained that when she was doing simulation training at Rin just now, out of concern for him, she transferred Garon to the level of "A-rank Valkyrie can barely beat", which is the lowest difficulty of Garon.

"So, if you use Gaalong as an opponent for simulation training, will the captain do the same?"

"I don't know about this, except for me, I don't usually use 'Gatron' as the object of simulation training, right?"

Although Elysia said it lightly, in Rin's eyes, this kind of behavior seemed to have violated the rules of the Mandate of Heaven, that is, what Elysia could do. He knew what Elysia was capable of, and he knew that she often did things out of the ordinary, as if she were born to please herself.

If you disobey her wishes, I don't know what will happen. Thinking of this, Rin couldn't help but tremble, this high-ranking Valkyrie Elysia, who was named "pure and flawless", was even more terrifying than she imagined.

Because of the devil training that Elysia set for him, Elysia asked him to sleep in his office at night, because the training time was very tight, and he basically had to do it when he got up.

"Good night, Mistress Elysia."

"Didn't you say a few times that you were going to call me Sister Elysia? If you call me wrong, I'll ignore you, hum~"

"Yes, Elysia...... Sister. ”

Time passed like this, and when the devil's training lasted until the fifth day, Rin seemed to be a little unable to hold on, and in Elysia's consciousness space, his strength was no longer enough to pick up Hypernetus, and he ate Elysia's glowing arrow.

"Ah, it's okay! Accidentally hurt you, cutie. ”

Seeing that she had hit Rin, she hurriedly disarmed her fighting posture and hurriedly ran to Rin who fell to the ground. Fortunately, Rin used the Overlord Scale Armor to block the position of his heart at the last moment to prevent him from being pierced through the heart by an arrow.

Although Rin would not die in Elysia's consciousness, he didn't want to experience that pain a second time.

"I'm tired, Mistress Elysia."

"Call sister, don't remind you to call me that every time...... Really. ”

It's been almost a week since I've been with Elysia, but I still haven't changed my name for her, after all, this is one of the second-in-command of Destiny, and her status is visible to the naked eye.

"I want to take a leave of absence, I haven't slept well in the past few days." Rin dragged her tired body to her feet from the ground.

And Elysia also knew that there was too much training for him in the past few days, so she apologized to him with a hippie smile, and then, taking his hand, said:

"Shall we go play?"

"Huh?"

Subsequently, the two appeared on the street in District A of the Mireya City, shuttling back and forth between various storefronts.

"It's Mistress Elysia, welcome."

"It's a great honor for Lord Elysia to come to the shop!"

Almost every time she goes to a store, the clerk and manager basically treat her with the highest courtesy, not only buy one get two free, but also various discounts. This situation made Rin very uncomfortable, he knew that Elysia's sister was very popular, but he didn't expect it to come to this extent, and seemed to know more about Elysia.

When the two of them stepped into a coffee shop, they saw a gray-haired woman sitting in a seat not far away, wearing sunglasses, taking out her mobile phone and looking at something.

"Little Bronya! Here we go. ”

Rin didn't realize that the captain would be here, and it seemed that he had made an agreement with Elysia early on.

"Captain."

When he walked up to Bronya, Bronya just took off her sunglasses and stared at him for a long time before she spoke:

"You've lost weight."

Rin didn't dare to say that Lord Elysia had trained him inhumanely during these six days, only letting him sleep for three hours a day, and then he was forced to be pulled into her consciousness space to practice, or to go to the training ground to fight Garon.

This kind of high-intensity training, looking at the entire destiny, is what Elysia herself can do, after all, she is not a normal person in Rin's eyes.

"Really? Aha. Rin laughed as if nothing was wrong. The captain has also worked hard during this time. ”

"Nothing hard, I just came over to see you."

After the two sat down, Bronya began to talk to Elysia about Rin's next training schedule and the subsequent training content.

"Oh, Rin, here's your bonus for this month, from above."

Bronya handed him a small envelope with the word "bonus" written on it. Rin carefully took it and opened it to see that there were not many contents inside, only five or six Maitreya coins with the largest denomination and one thousand denominations.

However, this is a lot of money for Rin.

"Whether I keep it for you or take it yourself is your freedom." Bronya said with a relieved smile. "This is the first time you've gotten a bonus."

"Thank you very much."

Elysia on the side interjected: "That's it, Xiao Rin, I'm going to do something else next, just let the captain take you back~ You're tired too." ”

"Huh? Is the training over? ”

"yes, I've decided to give you time to rest, and if you still want to do that kind of training, I'll give you this."

Elysia took out a small USB flash drive, which, according to her, contained the battle data of herself and Garon, and she could go to the training ground at any time to pull these two virtual enemies out to fight. It was like a treasure to Rin, and he happily took the battle stats and thanked him repeatedly.

After Elysia leaves, Bronya reveals that the reason for coming to Rin this time is about a new mission.

"It's a mission again, and you're training with Sister Elysia during this time, so it didn't bother you."

Rin immediately asked Bronya, "What is the mission?" He also realized that it had been a long time since he had been tasked with finding Adam that he had not been given a new mission. Moreover, not long after Bronya's injuries healed, she immediately participated in the cleanup of New Arcadia, and she didn't have much free time at all.

"Next we're going to a place called 'Cateriro', there is a mine in that place that is occupied by the people of New Arcadia, and the leader is called 'Lion King' Lane, and we're going to go there and get Lane back."

Bronya gave a brief explanation of the mission.

Then, she continued, the people of the sixth group of the special operations team were in charge of the clearance operation against Ryan, but it lasted for two whole weeks and failed to take the stronghold, which shows that Ryan is a very difficult enemy to deal with.

She took out Lane's photo, a tall man with dark skin, and the scar on the right side of his face showed that he had been a battle-hardened mercenary and must have had a lot of combat experience.

Rin subconsciously wanted to go to Dr. Edward, who was once a colleague of New Arcadia, to find out about Lane. After telling Bronya that he still had some things to deal with, he hurriedly grabbed Lane's picture and went to the hospital of the First Medical Department to check with Dr. Edward.

"Your next target is him."

After getting the photo to confirm, Dr. Edward just said it lightly, and then returned the photo to Rin with a smile on his face.

"Do you know him well?" Rin asked. "How many of them did you have good relations with before you left New Arcadia?"

Dr. Edward replied with a smile, "Not much, but, I'm sure that Ryan and New Arcadia are not actually of the same mind, he has his own ideas. ”

Dr. Edward then says that Ryan has more or less prejudices against the members of the Polaris Alliance, who lead New Arcadia. They all felt that they had violated their original intentions, and would rather accept the transformation of the rebirth plan and become the existence of human beings and lawbreakers, rather than follow the wishes of the founders of New Arcadia in the past.

Therefore, he was stationed in the Cateriro mine this time, and it was only on the orders of Agnes, and if there was a channel to communicate with him, it would not be difficult to turn against Ryan.

"Are you going to join us this time?" Rin asked him, after all, with an old acquaintance like Dr. Edward, Ryan must know him and be able to communicate with him.

However, Dr. Edward rejected Rin's offer, saying that he was going to work on a new project this week, and that Rin had to figure it out on his own.

"I'm sure you can imagine it, so let Akia accompany you, after all, she's back in your team."

After Dr. Edward put this sentence aside, he said goodbye to Rin on the grounds that he had something to do.

When Rin returned to the dormitory, he saw a girl with short white hair and a plain white dress-style pajamas standing in the doorway, as if she had heard the door and wanted to open it. As soon as Rin came in, the girl was startled, and quickly retreated a few steps back, she was Akia, and she was still that cautious look, Rin couldn't be more familiar.

"Miss Agia? How could you ......"

At this moment, Bronya hurriedly walked over and motioned to Akia to let her rest, and then pulled Rin into the house and explained to him that Miss Akia should be temporarily returned to Unit 7.

"You're not here during this time, and Akia, as a temporary member of our troops, has been accompanying us on missions for some time."

Rin suddenly remembered that she had been training by Devil Elysia all week. Later, after Bronya explained it to him, she told him that the mission time was tomorrow at noon, and asked him to go and get a good night's sleep.

After all, Elysia had also told her that Rin only slept for about two or three hours a day during this time. Maybe for a person like her, it is not difficult to stay in her own home at midnight all night, and she is very full of physical strength, not like a normal person at all.

However, after returning to the room to rest, Rin is full of thoughts about some of the things that Elysia has asked him, including how to control the Overlord Cell, so as not to cause trouble for the captain's actions tomorrow.

The sixth team has been wiped out for two weeks, but they have not been able to take the stronghold, what kind of ruthless character is Ryan...... That's what he thought at this point.

At this moment, he saw an extra glass of warm milk on his table, and he was still thinking about things just now, and he was attracted by this glass of milk. Underneath the milk was a note that read:

"Drinking it while it's hot is helpful for adjusting your biological clock."

This beautiful ligature, written by Bronya, is the only one who can write such ornate yet illegible characters. He knew that the captain had been worried about himself a lot during this time, and he probably learned some about himself from Captain Meiyi, and after drinking hot milk, he quickly went to bed.

Noon the next day - Cateriro mine - mining point

Everyone has come to the location of the operation, this time, led by Bronya, the team members are Rin, Shizuru, Ritter, Lin Qi and Akia.

"The target is already stationed here, Jingliu, you and I come, we break through, and the rest of the people follow behind, keeping an eye on the situation ahead."

After arranging the action order, Bronya took out her weapon and rushed straight to the front of the team with the deputy captain Shizuru, only to see that the two had just been discovered by the enemy, and there was no movement after a few gunshots.

"Safety." Bronya's voice came over the communicator.

Rin had a rifle brought out of New Arcadia in his hand, and he was used to using a combination of Hypernetus and Dragon's Tooth for his usual tasks, but because Bronya was worried that he would be easily affected by the Overlord Cell when he used Hyperthesis, he brought it with him.

"Let's go, Rin, let's follow the captains." Lin Qi picked up the spear and prepared to follow. Ritter also ran up, and Rin had no choice but to take out his Hypernetus and follow behind everyone quickly.

Inside the mine, there are a lot of New Arcadia security personnel here, as if they are guarding something. Bronya and Shizuru moved quickly, and they almost killed the dozens of miscellaneous soldiers with a thunderous force, and then used gestures to command the team to follow.

"You're still a little hesitant to be the enemy of your past colleagues." Bronya could see that Shizuru seemed to be a little sluggish.

The masked Shizuru shook his head, saying that he could distinguish between enemies and companions, and that he didn't need the captain to worry about himself. Almost at the depths of the place, everyone had already discovered the target, that is, the new Arcadia executive director named "The Lion King".

Dressed in a short-sleeved New Acadia fighter uniform, he was quite tall and a black lion-headed iron fist with a terrifying sense of majesty, and he was leading his men to inspect the inside of the mine. The crowd hid behind a huge rock, fearing that they would be spotted by their target.

"Didn't the whole team of the Sixth Unit subdue him? Captain. ”

Rin also recognized Ryan at a glance, just like the one in the photo, he took out the photo and compared it carefully, and asked Bronya about the information about the target "Lion King" Ryan.

Bronya nodded, although she didn't know why the people of the Sixth Unit were defeated by his men, but Ryan really didn't feel like an ordinary strong man, but just like the members of the New Arcadia Polaris that he met before, they were all mutant monsters that were half-human and half-law.

"Who?"

His senses seemed to sense that something was going on here, and before his men were assassinated, it seemed that someone had tipped Ryan off that there was an intruder. Ryan slowly walked over to the huge rock, and the instincts of the crowd sensed danger.

"Boom."

The rock was shattered by Ryan's punch, and the camouflage provided by Bronya's dimensional armor kept the whole team in a state where they would not be detected by the naked eye for the time being, otherwise they would have to collide with Ryan.

"Come out, I don't have the patience to play hide and seek with you."

When his subordinates saw Ryan talking to the air in front of him, the people hiding under the disguise still didn't make a sound, and good training could even make them eliminate their own breath, but Ryan was not an ordinary person, he had already sensed that there were people here.

"Officer Ryan, how can there be anyone here? Isn't it nothing? ”

"No, they're here."

After a brief remark, Ryan gathered his fist again, and blasted his fist into the air in front of him, striking an emerald green barrier that emerged from the shadows. It was Rin's Queen's Shield, and he took Hypernetus out to fend off Ryan's blows, while exposing all the members of the team.

When he saw Rin and the others, Ryan first frowned, and then changed back to his usual expression, as if he remembered something.

"You're the ones of destiny, aren't you, those people who have been coming here to trouble us some time ago."

Seeing that all of them were exposed, Bronya made an "attack" gesture, and in an instant, the team members took a stand and attacked Ryan one after another.

"You go first, I'll deal with them." Ryan ordered his men to retreat quickly. "I'm going to see what you're capable of."

Rin's Hypernetus and Ryan's black-gold armor collided with a powerful impact, and the air atomized under this violent vibration, mixed with dust, forming a thick smoke. At the same time, Bronya's dimensional armor also activated, condensing into an iron fist much larger than Ryan's fist, and blasted out towards him, but it was easily blocked by his other hand.

"I know you, you're the young man Aiden Kid and I mentioned."

When Ryan said this, Rin suddenly realized that Ryan seemed to recognize himself the moment he first saw him, and the timing of his move became a little hesitant. But the others didn't care about what Ryan said and still attacked him.

Shizuru walked around Ryan's back with a quick movement, ready to launch his secret sword technique against him, but Ryan reacted and unfurled a golden barrier to block the sword.

"Shizuryu, it looks like you've betrayed New Arcadia."

"I just chose my own path, for me, it was the New Arcadia who betrayed me first, I just reasoned about my dissatisfaction."

The four of Rinky, Rin, Bronya, and Shizuru joined forces to besiege Ryan, but they couldn't hurt him with his impenetrable defenses, and he defused them one by one.

Rin lamented that Ryan was difficult to deal with in front of him, and at the same time, he was also dealing with Ryan's cannonball fists bombarded from time to time, so that he only cared about using all his strength to unleash the queen's shield defense, and there was no chance to use the Beastmaster sword technique at all.

"Aiden and I still have some friendships, your name is Rin, right? If you can't even get past me, let alone defeat Agnes! ”

Ryan's attack intensified, and at this point he seemed to have turned into a huge beast, staring at Rin alone, and violently bombarded his queen's shield with both fists.

"Don't succeed!" Shizuru saw Rin being targeted by Ryan and hurriedly rushed up to attack him with his sword skills.

However, the attack didn't work, just like when everyone else attacked Ryan, as long as he attacked him, a golden barrier would appear, and that barrier was impenetrable, and no matter what kind of attack was used, it would reflect back with equal force. Bronya noticed this and ordered all the men to stop attacking to prevent the damage from backlashing.

However, only Rin's sword can touch his body accurately, and only when Rin is fighting back, the golden barrier will not unfold, which seems to be Ryan's mimic lawmaker ability.

Rin and Ryan fought together alone, Rin's progress during this time was very fast, whether it was from swordsmanship, or from reaction speed and strength, they could meet Ryan's attack, and the two were in a stalemate with terrifying strength in a white-knuckle battle, which lasted for about ten minutes before stopping.

"Not bad, but it's still a long way before you can defeat Agnes."

"Why are you telling us this?" Rin asked breathlessly. "Aren't you our enemy?"

"Enemies? My enemies are only weak, and the people who came before you are too weak, so weak that they only have brute force, and they can't see what kind of existence I really am. ”

Ryan stopped his attack and stood not far away with Rin, talking face to face. Ritter thought it was a good opportunity to attack, but Bronya seemed to hear something from Ryan's words and motioned for him not to shoot.

"You know Aiden." Rin saw that Ryan didn't move, so she asked.

Ryan nodded, and admitted that Aiden's friendship with him was not ordinary, and the two of them could be said to have talked about the existence of the company since its inception, and also knew that Aiden was removed from Agnes.

"If you know why Aiden left New Arcadia, why do you want to help New Arcadia?"

"It's a simple reason." Ryan rubbed his hands again. "Because I'm weak, just like Aiden, we can't resist Agnes, he's not an ordinary mimic, and if I want to defeat him, I can only wait for a chance."

Seeing that Ryan's hostility was gradually subdued, Bronya stepped forward and said:

"Then let's talk, Mr. Ryan Fingnier."
