The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

After all, since they met, the system hasn't lied to me at all...

With this in mind, she had no choice but to suppress her emotions and slowly continue to follow the system.

"If we need to conceal our identities, where do we go next?"

"Don't go anywhere, just stay here."

Celine stopped moving forward and floated silently in place, even though there should have been nothing in front of her.

Unfortunately, suddenly, hordes of hideous monsters crawled in from all directions.

They look very much like Honkai Beasts, but they also have a mechanical structure, and what is most concerning is their aggressiveness.

In large groups, like...

A hungry wolf searching for food.

Seeing this, Kiana instinctively wanted to use her greatsword to defend herself.

However, just as she swung the Flame King Sword and shouted, "What are you?!"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"careful!"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than a beautiful figure wielding a gun came flying and kicked the monster to the ground.

However, compared to such a feat, Kiana was more concerned about...

The identity of the visitor.

Why is everyone different now? (Post-Honkai Odyssey): Chapter 2 Bronya: Does this newcomer really need protection?!

Kiana will never forget the moment she met Bronya. She remembers that Bronya was very young then... so young that people wondered if she would cry at the slightest difficulty.

However, as they spent more time together, she gradually realized that perhaps the other person had a more resilient heart than she did...

Although she is unable to fight on her own two feet and is quite small, she can only fight with the help of the Heavy Bunny.

But every detail of those past battles has become a precious memory, etched deep within my heart...

however!

Right now!

Is there something wrong with these memories?

"Is this Bronya?"

Kiana was stunned when she caught a glimpse of those long, slender legs and tall figure.

In her mind, Bronya would never finish off a monster with a flying kick like that.

Even if it were just a heavy-duty bunny lifting her up and smashing her head against it, that would be more reliable than this!

"My Bronya could never be this dashing! Absolutely not!"

"What do you mean 'your'? It's someone you know."

Xilin raised her tiny, delicate hand, yawned, and covered her mouth.

Clearly, the little guy is fully aware of everything in front of him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have put on such an infuriating face.

Kiana, thinking of this, grabbed Sirin's little foot and shook it vigorously:

"What's the big deal about arguing? No, no, Sirin, don't try to get away with this. Tell me what really happened!"

"As you can see, she's here to save you. Ugh! Ahh! Let me go, you paramecium!!!"

Sirin was grabbed by Kiana's little feet and shaken violently, feeling like her head was about to be broken off. So she angrily waved her arms and legs, looking like she wanted to hit someone.

Seeing this, Kiana, who was extremely anxious, finally realized that her reaction was a bit too extreme, and had no choice but to let go of the other person with some embarrassment.

After gaining her freedom, Sirin spun around like a mermaid, then angrily continued to warn Kiana:

"I'm warning you! Even though I've become like this, I'm still essentially your tool. If you break me, you'll be in big trouble!"

"Uh, hehehe... Hmm! Wait, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Kiana waved her hand, pointed at Bronya who was fighting an unknown monster, and shouted:

"No, that's not her! She's Bronya? Why did she become like this? What happened...?"

Her loud shouting quickly attracted the attention of the person involved.

Feeling puzzled, Bronya turned around and looked at the newcomer described in the communication, speechless.

What's going on? How can a warrior fighting against the Honkai be so disrespectful?

How exactly does Mei manage her team members?

However, according to the information, she seems to have been a great help. In any case... lend a helping hand first.

After making her own plans, Bronya turned her head and targeted the monsters that were attacking from all directions.

Without much hesitation, she raised her gun and charged. The gunfire caused heavy damage to the enemy, who screamed and fled in panic.

Of course, if these monsters scattered like birds and beasts after just such an attack, they would be far too easy to deal with.

After a brief period of confusion, the monsters before Bronya regained their senses and launched a swift counterattack.

Their attack was well-organized, with an exceptionally wide variety of attack methods, and their momentum was undeniable.

Even a single glance at it can make you feel inexplicably strained.

However, even when faced with the monster's fierce attack, Bronya remained calm and showed no fear whatsoever.

As the leader of the second squad, she was confident enough to defeat these strange monsters.

"drink!"

Instantly, her weapon emitted a pale blue laser, capable of delivering a devastating blow to these monsters with a single strike.

However...

"careful!"

What truly threw Bronya into a panic wasn't the monster in front of her, but the person behind her who needed to be rescued!

"you!"

Bronya, who was pulled behind her, was stunned and couldn't understand why the guy who should have been on the verge of death according to the communication instructions looked so lively.

And the strangest thing is... who is that little guy carrying scissors?

The various strange phenomena aroused the captain's suspicions, but he couldn't figure out the reason behind them no matter what he did.

It seems a memory in my mind has been sealed away...

She... is... a newcomer who needs to be protected.

This sentence kept repeating itself in Bronya's mind.

Despite seeing the newcomer wielding the strange greatsword and effortlessly slaying monsters, looking like he was unstoppable, she still felt that this was someone she needed to protect—what a load of rubbish!

Why is she so strong?!

While Bronya was secretly marveling at her skills, Kiana had already swung the Flame King Sword and swept it across.

"Ready, ignite!"

As the purple flame particles burned away, none of the monsters that came from all directions managed to escape.

Almost without exception, they were all wiped out by the coefficient!

This situation is truly astonishing.

Even Bronya had to put aside her contempt at this moment and raise her gun to point at the unusual newcomer in front of her.

"who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana turned around abruptly, staring in astonishment at her companion who had raised a gun to her.

Why...did Bronya point a gun at me?!

Did I... hurt her just now?

No, how could such a small thing make her react like this?

A gust of cold wind blew by, bringing with it the slightly salty and damp smell in the air; it was in this atmosphere that...

Kiana, unable to contain her emotions, parted her cherry lips and attempted to reveal her true identity.

However...

"Ah! Don't be too nervous. Although she was in a bad state just now, I've already healed her."

Before Kiana could even finish speaking, Sirin decisively floated forward to help cover for her.

As she spoke, she glanced sideways at her unruly master behind her, the meaning of which was quite clear.

You promised me you'd keep your identity a secret, and now you're already planning to expose yourself at the very beginning?

That's not how you play!

How could Kiana not understand the meaning in Sirin's eyes?

However, one must remain law-abiding...

Hmm! Oh well, never mind. One should be honest and trustworthy...

But who should I call myself in front of Bronya next?

Just as Kiana was hesitating about how to change her score to reunite with her old friend...

"Stop, you strange little man."

Bronya, gun in hand, took a step back warily, clearly harboring hostility towards the little guy carrying a large pair of scissors.

I don't know why, but looking at those eyes, that outfit, and that voice...

She would always feel a shiver run down her spine, as if the person slowly drifting towards her wasn't some little man at all.

Rather, it is a terrifying nemesis capable of destroying the world.
