I'm in Honkai Impact's Infinite Abyss!

The blonde female knight was clad in a blue and white suit of armor, surrounded by bright blue particles that tinted the entire training ground in her colors.

She shouted loudly, "...Activate Mass Monster Mode, with intensity increasing over time."

[Received, the Memorial Arena System is initializing!]

With the sound of the prompt, illusory light and shadow descended from above, transforming the barren training ground into a burning city ruin.

Countless zombies and Honkai beasts wandered among the ruins, and soon they spotted the blonde knight standing tall, turning towards her and rushing.

Yet this girl, named Bianka Durandal Ataegina, simply murmured lightly, "Awaken..."

With her words, two knight-shaped autonomous shadows appeared from the void, charging towards the zombies and Honkai beasts under the girl's drive, intercepting these enemies who attempted to attack the knight and eliminating them all.

Meanwhile, Durandal calmly supported the circular device on her wrist and lightly touched it.

—The small Honkai Conversion Device, "Moon Ring."

With the touch of the knight, the "Moon Ring" emitted a bright golden light, integrating Honkai energy into Durandal's valkyrie battlesuit like threads, comprehensively enhancing the combat effectiveness of the "Excelsis" Battlesui t.

Even the two autonomous machines in combat were enhanced as a result, each of their attacks wiping out swathes of enemies, with the already outmatched zombies and ordinary Honkai beasts being eliminated even faster.

However, the Memorial Arena System also began dynamic adjustments, with special types of zombies and Honkai beasts manifesting not far away, immediately joining the battle with their roars.

Although the two mechs performed steadily under Durandal's control, their comprehensive performance far exceeded design expectations, but an increasing number of special, enhanced monsters gradually overwhelmed them.

Finally, the blonde knight extended her hand, and "Hler" was raised by her, then fiercely thrown!

The long spear turned into a shining meteor crashing to the ground, causing a strong vibration, and the powerful shockwave spread out, even clearing away most of the "tide" formed by the monsters.

The next moment, Durandal's figure followed suit, pulling out her long spear, with the two Phantoms guarding by her side, one sword and one shield, assisting the blonde knight's domination on the battlefield.

There weren't many zombies and Honkai beasts that could withstand the attacks of the "Bright Knight Excelsis," let alone the fact that the "Moon Ring" significantly enhanced Durandal's combat power.

The entire battle scene looked like some kind of unparalleled grass-cutting game; wherever Durandal went, the monsters were wiped out.

In the control room, the Valkyrie in charge of operating the system had her mouth half open, murmuring, "Lady Durandal has become stronger again, and this time the enhancement is not insignificant... it's really..."

"Outrageous?"

A voice asked.

The Valkyrie operating the system answered without hesitation, "No, it's really amazing! She truly deserves to be the strongest Valkyrie of destiny! Ah... Miss Rita!"

The one who had just asked was the vice-captain of the Immortal Blades, Rita Rossweisse, the Valkyrie wearing a suit similar in tone to Durandal's, watching her captain wreak havoc on the inside through the monitoring screen.

Rita observed for a while, then walked over to the control console, grabbed the microphone, and shouted to the fighting knight, "Lady Durandal, do you need me to directly summon higher-level Honkai beasts?"

"Rita? Are you here?"

Durandal was somewhat surprised, but soon calmed down, "Then let's start, there's no need to cancel the monsters generated, I want to see what the 'Moon Ring' can do."

"Understood."

Rita patted the Valkyrie operating the Memorial Arena system, and the latter swiftly entered a series of commands.

A huge Honkai beast appeared on the battlefield.

It had a rounded body, with four huge teeth protruding forward, looking extremely sharp. It roared loudly, revealing its mouth emitting a menacing purple light.

Ganesha, an Emperor-class Honkai beast, known as the "Big Brother Pig" by players.

Durandal watched this monster, shook her wrist, and the "Moon Ring" emitted a faint hum, operating at full capacity!

—Activating the "White Heat Mode"!

Bright light burst forth from the circular device, solidified Honkai energy!

They surged, flowed, attached to the "Excelsis" armor and the "Hler" spear, and even formed golden wings behind Durandal's back, making her look like a winged war angel stepping out of myth!

Yet Ganesha was not afraid at all, charging directly towards Durandal!

The ground trembled under its feet, and despite its huge size, the Honkai beast was surprisingly agile, appearing before the Valkyrie in the blink of an eye.

But just when Ganesha thought it could easily crush this bug, a semitransparent shield emitting the same golden light as the "Moon Ring" blocked its path.

The next moment, a loud impact resounded through the heavens and the earth. Durandal actually caught the charge of the Emperor-class Honkai beast, not even retreating far.

"It's my turn!"

The blonde knight shouted angrily, thrusting her long spear towards the dazed Ganesha.

The proud and powerful outer shell of the Emperor-class Honkai beast failed to stop the spear tip for even half a second. The blue and gold interspersed edge tore off a large chunk of the Honkai beast's body, causing Ganesha's body to sway slightly.

The Honkai beast immediately launched a counterattack, but was intercepted and deflected by Durandal's shield without causing any damage.

And while the blonde knight took advantage of the moment when the enemy had exhausted its moves to counterattack, she peeled off Ganesha's shell like peeling an onion, and even launched further attacks.

The aftermath of their battle even blew away the low-level Honkai beasts and zombies around them, leaving only one person and one Honkai beast in the center of the field, engaged in a spectacular battle!

The actions of the knight and the Honkai beast were extremely fast, so fast that those whose strength was insufficient could only see a blurry trail of afterimages. The dense collisions merged into a storm-like roar.

But this did not prevent Rita and the other observing Valkyries from concluding that Durandal was about to win.

After all, when the two separated, the blonde knight only looked a bit tired, and the golden enhancement state that was originally attached to her had disappeared;

While Ganesha was covered in wounds, a terrible scar pierced its body, and the purple Honkai energy was flowing outward through the wound without stopping.

With a howl, the Emperor-class Honkai beast fell to the ground, turning into data fragments and dissipating.

"Experiment over... Lady Durandal!"

The Valkyrie operating the Memorial Arena system showed a pleased expression, "The practical exercise of the 'Moon Ring' device was very successful! All data indicators are extremely stable!"

"Great! That's fantastic!"

"I wonder which scientist from the Equipment Department came up with such an enhancement device! I must treat them to a meal!"

The Valkyries cheered.

Durandal watched as the Memorial Arena System reset the field, restoring it to its original barren state, and the knight looked at Rita, who was walking over, tilting her head.

"What's wrong?"

"It seems that you're already very familiar with the 'Moon Ring' equipment."

"After all... it was brought back by Teacher Luo Lin, very practical," Durandal said, "I really wonder what kind of adventure she had."

"It's probably no less than your journey in the Sea of Quanta, right?" Rita smiled and replied, "And, Lady Durandal, tomorrow is the scheduled day to depart for the Far East Branch... Are you ready?"

"...I think, I'm ready."

Durandal took a deep breath, complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

The blonde knight shrugged, "Anyway, Miss Himeko will be going with me, so no need to worry about my daily life."

"It's precisely because she's going with you that I'm worried about you two..." Rita rubbed her forehead, looking a bit headache, "I hope Lady Theresa can take good care of you."

"We don't need taking care of!"

"Mhm, mhm..." Rita replied perfunctorily, "I hope so..."

The blonde knight pouted, turning her head away somewhat childishly.

But soon, Durandal adjusted her emotions, looking at the clouds in the sky, lost in thought.

Teacher Luo Lin... Are you doing well?
