Having just survived a fierce battle, Kiana calmed her racing heart with Fu Hua's help, and then staggered through the corners of the city.
However, Kiana faces not only the pressure of being hunted down, but also...
The internal struggle she faced, the dilemma that tormented her sense of responsibility as a Valkyrie to protect her people.
Honkai Beasts are appearing more and more frequently throughout Sky City, to the point that they are now ubiquitous.
Just as Kiana was walking through the alley, she heard screams and cries of pain coming from not far away!
Kiana's hiding steps came to an abrupt halt. Looking up at the sound, she saw a lone mother and daughter being stopped by a terrifying, pale-white Honkai Beast in the burning street!
Faced with that merciless and cruel collapse, ordinary people who are powerless can only become the cheapest straws to be grasped at!
Kiana gripped her gun tightly, and just as she was about to step forward, Fu Hua's warning rang in her ears—
"Let's go, Kiana. You can no longer come into contact with Honkai energy."
Although Fu Hua also wanted to save the mother and daughter, Kiana's current condition was not sufficient to support such an action.
"Honkai energy will cause your body to collapse; your body can't take it anymore. Sirin is waiting for you to collapse, and once you break down..."
Fu Hua's calm advice stemmed from her understanding of Kiana, but it was undoubtedly cruel to the mother and daughter who were in dire straits.
Kiana could only grit her teeth and stare intently at the mother and daughter just inches away outside.
"I can't do anything..."
Kiana's eyes reflected the burning flames of war, the fallen city, and the Honkai Beasts ruthlessly wielding their spears.
……
The students of St. Freya Academy, watching from the screen, clenched their fists. They were also deeply concerned for the mother and daughter, and felt sorry for Kiana, who could only watch helplessly.
They knew that for such a kind and gentle woman as Kiana to simply stand by and watch a mother and daughter die before her eyes without doing anything would be the cruelest form of torture.
Kiana is the girl who rescued Mei from the abyss when she was ostracized by everyone; she's a good girl who considers protecting everyone her duty.
Although Kiana's body can no longer be exposed to Honkai energy, everyone actually knows...
What will Kiana do?
………………
………………
In the scene, Kiana stares through gritted teeth at the mother and daughter trapped in a desperate situation.
Amidst the burning flames of war, a desperate mother embraced her young and vulnerable daughter with unwavering resolve, attempting to protect her child with her back!
But even so, what can be done? In the face of the Honkai Beasts and the Cataclysm, can sacrificing the mother's life really protect the weak and helpless little girl?
The Honkai Beasts, their eyes flashing crimson light, are the most cruel and merciless. After taking the mother's life, the weak girl will surely not escape death as well.
Kiana nearly ground her teeth to powder. At that moment, she hated her own weakness and powerlessness, hated why she could only watch helplessly as all this happened while she could only hide in a corner!
He could have saved the mother and daughter by simply stepping forward...
"There's nothing you can do right now, Kiana."
Fu Hua noticed Kiana's struggle and, as if wanting to play the villain, reminded Kiana again.
However, faced with Fu Hua's admonition, Kiana could no longer suppress her anger!
"I...I must...protect them!"
With a furious shout, Kiana's burning desire to protect the common people ignited a powerful force within her, giving her strength to move forward once more!
Just as the spear of the Temple-class Honkai Beast was about to pierce through the mother and daughter, a sharp, resounding clang of metal clashing against metal echoed through the air!
Even on these noisy streets engulfed in flames of war, Kiana's furious shouts echoed clearly, her desire to protect everyone overshadowing everything else!
Kiana, who rushed out of the alley in an instant, gripped her baseball bat tightly and blocked the pale spear that almost pierced through the mother and daughter!
Even in this state of utter exhaustion, even if further contact with Honkai energy would lead to the collapse of her body, Kiana still stepped forward without hesitation!
She could never stand by and watch life slip away before her eyes, she could never do nothing!
This is because she was Himeko's student, and she was willing to die to save Himeko in order not to betray Himeko's kindness!
As a Valkyrie and a warrior fighting against the Honkai, Kiana has an inescapable responsibility!
"Run! I'll hold this thing off!"
Kiana desperately tried to block the spear of the Temple-class Honkai Beast. Normally, dealing with Honkai Beasts of this level would be effortless for her, but her hands, gripping the baseball bat, trembled.
Even so, even with gritted teeth, Kiana still stood in front of the mother and daughter!
Kiana finally breathed a sigh of relief after the mother and daughter thanked her and fled in a panic.
However, she faced another attack from a group of Honkai Beasts.
Kiana did everything she could to buy time for the mother and daughter to escape safely, but the price was that she was once again surrounded by Honkai Beasts, putting her in a desperate situation.
Surrounded by a group of Honkai Beasts resembling ghastly skeletons, Kiana's situation was undoubtedly made even more dire.
As Fu Hua said, she can no longer come into contact with Honkai energy.
Simply using her baseball bat to block the spear of a Temple-class Honkai Beast was enough to make Kiana feel like her body was about to collapse.
Kiana knew she couldn't afford to collapse now; if she did, Sirin would take over her body.
She couldn't let Himeko down, she couldn't let everyone down...
Faced with such a large number of Honkai Beasts, Kiana gritted her teeth and ultimately chose to dodge and retreat.
Kiana, who once dealt with these Honkai Beasts with ease, is now reduced to a pathetic, fleeing dog.
Just as Kiana was struggling to dodge the Honkai Beast's attack, narrowly avoiding it with her movements much slower than usual, the voice hidden within her body reappeared in her ears—
"Why are you running away, Kiana?"
Sirin, who had just been suppressed, seemed to have found an opening, and mocked Kiana with a taunting voice.
"You are the hunter, they are the prey."
Sirin's voice was like a demon haunting Kiana's ears, her soft whispers luring Kiana closer to the precipice of death.
Faced with wave after wave of Honkai Beasts, Kiana, nearly exhausted, ultimately failed to escape the encirclement, her eyes reflecting the figures of the Honkai Beasts in despair.
"I...I can't die here..."
"Come on, unleash the power of the Herrscher of the Void!"
Echoing Kiana's murmur, Sirin's voice rose from the depths of her heart—
In an instant, Kiana's indomitable will seemed to become the weakness of Sirin's invasion, and the power of the Herrscher of the Void, which had been suppressed by the [Godslayer Spear], reappeared!
Amidst painful moans, traces of Honkai energy erosion appeared on Kiana's face, and one of her eyes revealed the starlight of the Herrscher of the Void's power!
"Hehe, this body... I'll take care of it☆"
Amidst Sirin's triumphant chuckle, Fu Hua's voice, which accompanied Kiana, rang out urgently!
"Kiana!"
………………
………………
The girl had heard that when a person is dying, the scenes they experienced in their life will flash before their eyes like a revolving lantern.
But now, all that remained before her was a deep, dark expanse.
Shouldn't she have already been pierced by the Honkai Beast's spear?
The girl's mind was in chaos. She was like those victims who had no way to escape, watching helplessly as the Honkai Beasts pierced her, trampled her, and slaughtered her...
however……
"Why am I still alive...?"
The girl's murmurs revealed confusion, but even more so, regret—regret that she hadn't died.
She was burdened with irredeemable sins, yet because she carried so much guilt, she had to live on and accept the punishment of fate.
Did she think she could resist the Herrscher's corruption? Did she think there was still a chance to save everything?
She thought that after the school bell rang, she could return to her peaceful life, and that this was just a nightmare.
As the girl struggled in agony, a nightmarish mockery rang out—
"Those friends who kept saying they wanted to take you home, after seeing your true colors, would they still want you near them?"
"You... monster☆"
Chapter 107 (4k combined) Stand up, Kiana
"In their eyes, the girl named Kiana no longer exists; all that remains is a monster called the Herrscher."
When Kiana awoke again in the light screen, she found herself in a nightmarish theater corridor in a daze.
Standing opposite the girl are Mei, whom she trusts most, and her aunt Theresa.
Sirin was once Kiana's most trusted friend and confidante, but her whispered words pierced Kiana's heart—
"As a monster, let alone whether they want to or not... would you dare to approach them yourself?"
In the scene, Kiana stares blankly at Mei and Theresa, who are so close to her, but she doesn't dare to take even a single step forward.
Her closest friends and elders have now become the girl's nightmare.
Sirin's words were like daggers, each one piercing Kiana's heart like a sharp knife, making her afraid to see her former friends and family again.
…………
Kiana, watching all this from outside the light screen, subtly bit her lip and clenched her fists.
She could understand the version of herself in the image, and she understood why Kiana in the image was afraid to approach Mei and Theresa...
because……
She was afraid, she was insecure.
