Chapter 433: An Arrow that Pierces through Xianzhou! The New 4-Star Crow-Feathered Weirdo
After insta-killing seven waves of Borisin.
Feixiao arrived beside Yukong, completely unruffled. "The battlefield at Starskiff Haven has been cleared."
"But Aurum Alley and Exalting Sanctum still seem to be locked in a bitter struggle. I shall prepare a starskiff right away—"
Feixiao shook her head slightly. "A prolonged battle works against us. We must seize every second to crush the farce Hoolay has orchestrated."
"Though Jiaoqiu always wants me to hold back and not get too serious… now is the time for a truly swift resolution."
With that, Feixiao activated her long-range communicator.
"Calling Exalting Sanctum! If you see light in the sky, disperse immediately!"
?
What was she going to do?
Guinaifen had just been basking in the sheer thrill of Feixiao instakilling the monsters.
And yet, right after it ended, it seemed like Feixiao was about to make some massive waves again?!
Behind her, Yukong instantly understood the moment she heard Feixiao say the words "light in the sky"!
She pulled out her bow without hesitation!
"Sister Yukong, lend me your bow!"
Almost simultaneously, Yukong tossed the bow in her hand to Feixiao.
Feixiao half-crouched.
Currents of wind gathered all around her.
Then, she leapt fiercely into the air!
Soaring straight into the clouds like a cannonball.
With a flip, she landed on the edge of a tall building's roof.
An immense power gathered.
In her hands, pure energy coalesced into an arrow of light!
Nocked upon the bowstring.
In an instant, it was as if a star had been ignited!
Everything in the sky paled in comparison at this moment.
Like a near-Earth comet, it dragged a long, fiery tail behind it!
***
"???"
"Is it coming?!"
"Before Feixiao even finished her sentence, Yukong threw the bow over. Old comrades really have the best chemistry!"
"Holy crap, that's so cool! Ahhhhhh!!"
"Feixiao: Do you believe in the light?"
"The Reignbow only proclaims its decree with arrows of light."
"The orthodox path of the Hunt!"
***
The moment the string was released, a beam of flowing light shot forth from Feixiao's position!
Like a searchlight, it instantly pierced the heavens!
Crossing all the way from Starskiff Haven to Aurum Alley!
On the streets of Aurum Alley, Trailblazer bludgeoned a Borisin to death with her bat.
A bit puzzled, she looked up at the sky.
"What is that?"
Moze immediately commanded the Cloud Knights: "Disperse! Everyone, disperse!"
He then quickly dragged Trailblazer away.
The next second, the arrow of light descended!
Meeting it head-on were the charging Borisin.
First, a wave of frost-like energy rippled across the ground.
Everything around them began to brighten.
Boom!
When that light arrived, it swept away everything in its path!
The charging Borisin at the front were instantly swallowed by the light!
The ground looked as if it had been plowed by dozens of bulldozers simultaneously.
Debris and smoke tumbled together!
After this single arrow, the ground of Aurum Alley would probably need a complete renovation.
Of course, this would also involve some compensation for houses and land…
In short, all the Borisin in Aurum Alley had been completely wiped out!
Meanwhile, up on the roof, Feixiao felt a sudden pang of pain in her chest.
***
"Holy shit! If I didn't know better, I'd think Lan shot that arrow!"
"My goodness, General Feixiao!"
"Feixiao: Pseudo-Reignbow Arrow of Light!"
"This arrow pierces through the Xianzhou."
"A jade belt of light pierces the sea of clouds, a single arrow shoots through the stars!"
"Holy crap! I saw my house almost get blown up by this arrow, so damn awesome!"
"March 7th stared at her own bow and fell into deep thought."
***
The wind and waves gradually subsided.
"Tsk, what a mess. I knew it would turn out like this…"
Moze looked at the Borisin corpses littered across the ground, speaking with a touch of helplessness.
"That woman always likes to make such a grand scene every time she takes the battlefield."
"Now, not a single living soul is left to interrogate. Some of these guys must have known the whereabouts of Hoolay and Jiaoqiu…"
After Trailblazer marveled at Feixiao's power, the two began to inspect the battlefield to search for survivors.
Soon, Moktok came into view.
He was hunched over, clutching his arm, having sustained quite a few injuries.
He gnashed his teeth and muttered:
"…What a terrifying strike."
"Who would have thought… such staggering power is held in the hands of a Foxian war-slave."
"So decisive, and so… brutal. Compared to us, who have fallen to such a state, she looks more like a true descendant of Father Wolf. No wonder the Warhead is interested in her."
Moze blocked Moktok's path with a cold expression.
He questioned: "I remember you, Moktok… You really are a pest that just won't die."
"Showing yourself voluntarily saves us some trouble."
"It's not too late to surrender now. Tell me, where did Hoolay… and Jiaoqiu go?"
Moktok wore a savage expression. "Save your breath, Yaoqing monkeys. All beasts understand one truth: to escape a trap, they will not hesitate to tear off their own limbs. Today, I shall be that limb."
"In my long hunting career, though I have only followed the Warhead for this brief moment, his existence is like the moon of Qingqiu, illuminating our long-blinded eyes and showing us the path."
Moktok grew more excited as he spoke, carrying a sense of being ready to die happy now that he had found his truth.
"The descendants of Father Wolf have forsaken the ancient laws of the pack. To prolong our lives, we hid in the dark, gnawing on one another. We are no longer wolves; instead, we have become as filthy and pathetic as rats."
"By the grace of Lord Hoolay, I share his vision and wolf-blood. The descendants of Father Wolf should live for the pack's victory, and die for the pack's victory!"
"Come on, Yaoqing native, show your claws! Between you and me, it's a fight to the death!"
As Moktok spoke, his voice and body began to distort, reverting to his Borisin form.
Moze's gaze hardened!
"Filthy beast, quite the sense of honor you have."
"No matter how tragic your sacrifice… Borisin, there is not a shred of honor in your battles or your deaths."
[ Battle Start ]
Guinaifen looked expectantly at the bottom left corner.
Sure enough!
A new trial character had appeared!
Moze!
Lightning element, The Hunt!
***
"He's here, he's here!"
"Holy crap! The character I wanted to pull the most is finally here!"
"He's so Hunt!"
"This is literally me!"
"At Moze's peak, even I would have to yield."
"Why is someone this cool a four-star character? Sob, sob…"
"Feathered Spirit, don't you want to make money? Hurry up and make him a five-star! I'll definitely pull for his max Eidolons!"
***
Moze was very fast, taking the first turn.
As per usual, Guinaifen first tried his Basic ATK.
Moze stood with his back to the enemy, his right hand flashing with a metallic glint.
Click to release!
With a swift spin of his daggers and a quick turn, he threw a dagger at the target enemy.
The animation was very cool, but this was Honkai: Star Rail's traditional Basic ATK—something barely used under normal circumstances.
Soon, it was his next turn.
She directly activated his Skill.
Moze revealed his short swords and instantly lunged at the enemy!
After two ground strikes, he turned into a plume of black mist, teleporting into the air.
With both hands gripping the hilts in a reverse grip, he plunged down to execute the enemy!
***
"This is seriously cool!"
"Using Moze makes me feel like an elusive, unseen assassin. Just thinking about it makes me feel so cool!"
"Doesn't this effect totally blow a certain limited five-star from the Underworld out of the water?"
"This is way cooler than Seele."
"They've raised a four-star's visual effects to a level that surpasses five-stars."
"The sound of cosmetics being smashed can be heard from Seele's room."
"Seele: Is this game not dead yet?"
"Tell Old Moze that I want to eat fish now."
***
"This Skill can mark an enemy as Prey. After an ally attacks, Moze can deal an additional instance of Lightning DMG…"
"It has 9 charge stacks, and consuming 3 stacks triggers a follow-up attack."
"Hmm, this skill mechanic isn't that complicated!"
Guinaifen wore a face of complete confidence, as if she had already fully mastered this new character!
"Moze's characteristic is that he takes many actions, and he also needs high-frequency attacks from allies to trigger his Talent."
"Looking at it this way, his best fit is a follow-up attack team!"
"Oh my god! I'm a genius!"
"I've only just tried him out, and I already know how to build a team for him!"
"It's a shame Feathered Spirit didn't hire me to do the character showcases!"
