Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: New Weapons

She looked at the sword in her hand, then at Theresa lying on the bed.

Theresa's complexion was clearly much better than before.

"Oh, dear, even the beautiful Miss Elysia would be a bit troubled in such a situation ♬ ~"

Elysia found a rope in the house, tied the two swords together, then carefully helped Theresa onto her back, and left with the swords.

This house was no longer safe. After all, Elysia and Sakura had a little spar, and now the house's door was gone. It was better to take the lovely Theresa back to her own house.

Walking to the window, she checked the height. Good, third floor. She didn't dare to jump (._.)

It was better to honestly take the stairs.

By invading the surrounding cameras and confirming it was safe, Elysia carried Theresa directly out of the residential area and headed towards her own little nest.

She avoided all monsters along the way, even if it meant taking a detour, because she was carrying someone.

While Elysia was taking Theresa home, she was so focused on monitoring the cameras and hurrying that she didn't notice that of the two swords tied together, Sakura's sword emitted a pink glow and finally merged into her own sword.

Only when she reached her doorstep did Elysia finally breathe a sigh of relief. She lowered Theresa from her back, supporting her with one hand, and used the other hand to get the key to open the door. It was then that Elysia realized she was missing one sword; the sword Sakura had given her had disappeared!

But for now, she should first put Theresa on the bed.

After putting Theresa on the bed, Elysia began to review the recordings from various cameras from when she returned. Finally, from one camera's perspective, she saw the sword in her hand first glow, and then the two swords slowly became one.

Seeing this, Elysia finally relaxed. She had thought she had lost Sakura's sword.

She drew her sword, looking at the originally dark red patterns which now had some pink branches, as if these pink patterns were locking down the dark red ones.

At the same time, Elysia could now clearly feel the Honkai Energy contained in the air.

Before, she only knew that her body would automatically absorb something from the air. Although she knew it was Honkai Energy, she couldn't clearly feel it. Now it was different; Elysia could feel the Honkai Energy in the air and could even command a small portion of it.

She also felt that although her body was constantly absorbing Honkai Energy from the air, it was also constantly leaking it, just not as much as it absorbed.

So, was she leaking?

She tried to control her absorption speed. After a while, Elysia gave up somewhat dejectedly. No, she couldn't control it. It was her body's instinctive absorption. How could she control that?

Then Elysia looked at the weapon in her hand again. She could feel the Honkai Energy because her sword had absorbed Higokumaru and Sakura's sword, which meant this sword could absorb Honkai Energy?

Thinking whatever came to mind, Elysia immediately tried to inject the Honkai Energy leaking from her body into her weapon.

With the injection of Honkai Energy, the two-colored patterns on the blade emitted a faint glow and began to actively absorb the Honkai Energy that Elysia absorbed and then leaked.

Elysia looked at the sword in her hand with some surprise, then transformed the sword into a compound bow. The bowstring also had some additional patterns.

She walked to the bed with the bow, casually drew the bowstring, and an arrow automatically appeared on the bow.

Within her field of vision, she picked a random, pleasing spot, choosing the building opposite. Roughly aiming, Elysia directly released the bowstring.

As a pink light flashed, Elysia looked at a hollow in the middle of the opposite building, staring blankly at the compound bow in her hand, then uncertainly at the hole in the building opposite.

Is this reasonable??

After confirming several times, Elysia was sure that this was indeed shot by the compound bow in her hand.

In other words, her weapon... evolved?

Although she knew this weapon would have something special after absorbing Higokumaru, its current power seemed a bit outrageous.

However, she still had to thank this weapon, because without it, she might have been possessed by Higokumaru.

According to the game, Higokumaru was the Herrscher of Corruption of the previous generation. She was only of this generation, and not even complete. There was no way she could win.

By the way, Divine Keys are made from Herrscher Cores. Her weapon now has the consciousness of a genuine Herrscher inside, so does that mean she also has a Divine Key?

But after thinking about the various functions of Divine Keys in the game, her current weapon should just be a Honkai Energy-enhanced weapon, right?

After placing her weapon on the bedside, Elysia looked at Theresa lying on the bed again and decided to go make something to eat first. And Theresa, when she woke up, would probably be very hungry.

Although Sakura's treatment should mean Theresa had no major problems, her body would likely have lost a lot of energy, so it was better to prepare some food in advance. Coincidentally, Elysia herself was also a bit hungry.

After waking up, she saw the grove, then saw Theresa. She hadn't eaten before going to find the lovely Theresa, and then there was Sakura, and then carrying Theresa and running away. Now it was almost noon, and the beautiful girl's stomach was already protesting.

For herself, she would steam some rice. As for the food for Theresa, Elysia thought for a while and decided on porridge. Patients should drink porridge.

While Elysia was cooking, Theresa, lying on the bed, carefully opened her eyes. Listening to the cooking sounds outside the bedroom, she turned her gaze to the compound bow placed on the bedside.

Actually, Theresa had already woken up when Elysia put her on the bed, but she felt a bit embarrassed. After all, in her opinion, Elysia was the one who should have been rescued, yet she was now lying on Elysia's bed.

She sat up from the bed, took out her communicator, and after seeing the message from Himeko, Theresa replied that she was fine, then looked at the compound bow again.

When Elysia was holding the bow and drawing it by the window, she had seen it: that pink energy arrow.

Undoubtedly, this was a Honkai Energy weapon, so Elysia's identity was indeed not simple. She might have been sent by her grandfather, or she might be from Anti-Entropy.

But since she saved her, she shouldn't be a bad person.

Reaching out and picking up the compound bow, Theresa's eyes instantly widened.

This, this, this! Is this really just an ordinary Honkai Energy weapon? Why hasn't this weapon exploded yet? The material doesn't look like Soulium either? Could this be a new Divine Key? But it doesn't look like a Divine Key either?
