The Vixen's Gambit: Tonight We Hunt

Lihua stood in front of Kallen, nervously observing the Red Immortal.

The Red Immortal of Taixu Mountain was actually Hua, a warrior from the previous civilization that was destroyed fifty thousand years ago. A few centuries later, she would be called Fu Hua.

According to Lihua's friend, Hua's battle power would be considered T0 in this era. Especially when she was the Red Immortal, she was nearly invincible.

And besides her incredible power, she was also known for having a flat chest for 50,000 years.

Though, she actually looks pretty stacked.

Looking at the Red Immortal's impressive mountains, Lihua thought that her friend, a loyal fan of Azur Lane, might have been a bit biased.

But regardless of the Red Immortal's figure, she could still easily explode Lihua's head.

However, Fu Hua seemed to have a good personality. If she had just come forward to protect Kallen, then she might have let her go. That wouldn't do.

She still needed to seek death!

So, Lihua looked at Fu Hua who had been silent with her head down, and raised her defective greatsword without any hesitation. "I will never let you harm Kallen!"

"Lihua, what are you saying? Run!"

Kallen was panicked at the sight of Lihua. She was clearly terrified, but was still standing defiantly in front of her.

She wasn't afraid of death. When she was about to be killed by the Red Immortal, she was just sad that she couldn't walk with Lihua anymore.

A Valkyrie had to constantly fight against the Honkai, the enemy of humanity. If she had any fear in her heart, she would likely die tomorrow. Only a fearless Valkyrie could survive.

Kallen was an excellent Valkyrie. Even in the face of death, she had no fear.

But when Lihua raised her weapon to the Red Immortal for her sake, she was scared.

Lihua could barely lift a greatsword in training. How could she be a match for the Red Immortal!

She was really planning on protecting her with her own body.

Just imagining Lihua being easily crushed to pieces by the Red Immortal's wind, like the bodies next to her, Kallen couldn't stop trembling. Her icy limbs seemed out of her control.

Is this… fear?

[Energy +90,000]

No, no, no! This is not going to happen! Even if I die, Lihua must not--

"Judah!!!"

With a piercing scream, light beams exploded from the cross and shot toward the Red Immortal like countless snakes, past Lihua who was in the way.

The first rated power of Judah was activated again. This time, it was far more powerful than before. Judah resonated with Kallen's emotions.

The holy chains wrapped around the Red Immortal almost instantly, creating a golden cage.

"Now, run…!"

Completely exhausted, Kallen was completely slumped on the ground. She was finding breathing difficult. She wanted to run away with Lihua, but she couldn't even move a finger.

But she was still in despair. She knew that if she stayed, Lihua wouldn't leave her. When the Red Immortal escaped Judah's grasp, she and Lihua would both die.

Out of all the people there, there was one person even more desperate than Kallen.

Lihua: "???"

Kallen, what the heck? How strong are you?!

You even managed to seal the Red Immortal?!

This is not according to my script!

How am I supposed to die in this situation?!

Lihua looked at the greatsword in her hand, then at the silent Fu Hua, who was sealed by Judah.

Judging from the current situation, Kallen had completely exhausted herself. Fu Hua didn't seem to be damaged. If she charged forward and attacked her, that would probably make her angry enough to smash her head with a burst of power.

But what if an enraged Fu Hua decided to kill Kallen after killing her?

After thinking it through, Lihua decided not to seek death. It was okay if her character died, but Kallen only had one life.

So Lihua chose to throw her sword aside and help Kallen up. "Kallen, let's go. She seems like she won't be able to move for a while."

But to her surprise, Kallen just looked at her sadly and shook her head with a desolate expression.

"No… we won't be able… to leave."

The Red Immortal was far stronger than she had imagined.

Crack!

A confused Lihua heard the sound of chains shattering behind her.

She turned around in shock and saw that the light cage, which had seemed unbreakable moments before, had turned into shattered chains.

Whoa, she really is the top in terms of strength.

Looking at Fu Hua's cold, red eyes that stared at her, Lihua felt a sense of unease.

"If you want to kill someone, then kill me. Lihua is innocent… she's not a fighter!"

Kallen struggled to free herself from Lihua's arms. She stared intently at her invincible opponent.

Then, Lihua felt Fu Hua's eyes on her.

"That's what she said. What do you think?"

Ask me?

Is there any other possible answer?!

And in Kallen's despair, Lihua ignored all warnings, pushed her away and walked to Fu Hua.

"I don't expect that you'll let us leave unharmed. But Red Immortal, since you are an immortal, you must have a kind heart... I beg you to let Kallen go."

"If you really want to kill someone, then kill me. I am willing to exchange my life for hers, just please let Kallen go."

[Energy +270,000]

Kallen, thank you for your energy. Though I'm secretly happy when you're despairing, I can't help it!

270,000 points! Oh my god!!!

With this show of sacrifice from her and Kallen, Fu Hua might just let them both go.

She had already earned over 300,000 energy from Kallen. Even if she didn't die today, it was worth it. She could go back to Schicksal and start a rebellion. Then, she could hang all of those Schicksal executives on lampposts.

Dying as the leader of the rebellion wasn't so bad either.

As Lihua was daydreaming about her future hanging-on-a-lamppost plan, she heard a strange laugh from in front of her and was brought back to reality.

"A life for a life…? Hahahaha… very well."

Fu Hua laughed as she rubbed her forehead. Her hair hid her eyes.

Her laughter made Lihua feel uneasy. In her memory, Fu Hua was a calm and gentle person, but now, she was laughing like a psychopath.

"Guhhh--"

Before Lihua could process everything, she felt a gust of wind hit her face, and then she felt a vise clamp around her throat. She was being lifted into the air!

She looked at the perpetrator in disbelief, but her eyes were filled with hatred and mania.

"Then, tell me, how many lives are you going to give me back? Lee!!!!"
