Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

"If it goes berserk, protect the people in the village."

"You're going to go alone?"

Cheng Lixue and the other two were all taken aback.

"Isn't that too dangerous?"

Shigure Kira said with concern.

"She's in danger because we're here."

Salome seemed to take it all in stride.

"Let's retreat, Ritsuki."

"……it is good."

Cheng Lixue didn't act coy.

"If you lose, I won't let you off the hook, young lady."

"Do not worry."

Cecilia aimed the Black Abyss White Flower at the Honkai Beast.

"I won't let it pass."

"They won't let me through?"

Just then, a loud and deep voice rang out.

"You?"

Within the towering tree trunk in the middle, a huge, scarlet eye is faintly visible.

"...It can actually talk?"

Cecilia was startled.

"Is this a Judgment-class Honkai Beast?"

"Hmph, Judgment level... Is this the end of knowledge for this era?"

The World Tree seemed utterly disdainful, as its overwhelming vines lashed out at Cecilia.

"Such massive Honkai energy, Black Abyss...?!"

Cecilia was about to use Black Abyss White Flower to destroy the vines, but she found that she couldn't use Honkai energy at all.

"Are you kidding me? Has it absorbed all the Honkai energy around here?!"

Cheng Lixue's face turned pale.

"Even my master never taught me about this..."

"Retreat first!"

Cecilia kicked the vines, using her superior physical abilities to break free from the vines.

However, the other three, whose physical abilities and reflexes were weaker than hers, were tied up tightly.

"Li Xue! Qi Luo! Salome!"

Cecilia watched helplessly as the three people showed expressions of pain.

“Create some distance… Cecilia…”

Although Cheng Lixue's face turned pale from the immense pressure, she still managed to offer her reminder.

The Black Abyss White Flower can be thrown. As long as Cecilia is far enough away, she can avoid having her Honkai energy absorbed, and it can even kill her in one hit.

"Hmph, is this a good idea, humans? If you want to stay away from me, I'll just leave and crush them."

The World Tree sneered.

"you?!"

Sure enough, Cecilia stopped in her tracks.

"Idiot, if you don't leave, we'll all die here! And our deaths will be meaningless!"

Cheng Lixue said through gritted teeth.

"Oh? Then let's start with you."

The vines of the "World Tree" slowly contracted.

"Huh?! Let's go!!!"

Cheng Lixue spat out a mouthful of blood, but still glared fiercely at Cecilia.

"........."

Cecilia bit her lip, turned her head sharply, and made up her mind.

"What? You're going to abandon her? Then I won't be polite..."

The World Tree cackled strangely, seemingly enjoying watching humanity's agonizing struggles.

however……

"What are you doing?"

A colder and more oppressive voice came from behind it.

"You...you...you are..."

The World Tree's enormous body trembled, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying.

The next second, the vines binding Cheng Lixue and the other two were instantly severed, and the three fell from the sky.

Cecilia quickly caught them and managed to keep them afloat.

The group steadied themselves and looked up in the direction from which the sound came. A huge dragon head appeared above the "World Tree," its black wings spread out and almost blocked out the sun.

"Nidhogg?! Impossible, you should have died long ago!!!"

The World Tree, pinned down by the black dragon's claws, struggled frantically, but to no avail.

"Even with four-fifths of its body removed by me, it can still move. No matter how weak it is, it's still at the end-of-life level."

Black Dragon said coldly,

"The same is true of Chi You of Shenzhou. Indeed, the Fire Seed Project was a mistake."

"Huh?! Wait, I..."

Before the "World Tree" could finish speaking, it was torn in two, and the black dragon opened its blood-red maw and ripped the remaining remains to shreds.

For the "World Tree," which uses the absorption of Honkai energy as a means of attack, the Black Dragon, who prides itself on its overwhelming physical abilities, is a natural enemy.

"...So that's how it is. It's the Black Abyss White Flower, huh? Successors, it's too early for you to take this Honkai Beast as your enemy."

The black dragon turned his gaze to Cecilia, noticing the Divine Key in her hand.

"You are not strong enough yet, you must become stronger. But there is no need to be upset, the end-of-life Honkai Beasts are almost equivalent to Herrschers."

You still have time before the real disaster strikes. And I will fulfill the mission of a pioneer.

Heilong then turned his gaze to Cheng Lixue and Salome, a slight fluctuation in his eyes.

Then, to Cecilia's astonishment, the black dragon slowly shrank, eventually turning into a naked girl.

The girl had a pair of striking horns on her head, seemingly telling them that she was indeed the dragon from before.

"……May I have your name?"

Walking naked in the snow, the girl seemed to have no concept of "cold".

Cecilia.

Cecilia said instinctively.

"Cecilia? What a beautiful name."

The girl reached out and touched her face, then looked at Salome and the others.

"Protect them."

"It's my duty."

Although Cecilia didn't understand the girl's identity, she knew that the girl had saved them.

"Who exactly are you...?"

“Me? My name is Nidhogg… no, that name doesn’t need to be. I am Melutina.”

The girl walked past Cecilia and into the vast snow, her slender figure appearing and disappearing in the snow.

"They are Fu Hua and Kevin Kaslana's companions."

………………

Chapter Eighteen: The Furthest Distance

When Adam arrived at the agreed-upon fountain square, he saw his captain sitting alone on a park bench, staring intently at the fountain.

She wore large sunglasses, which weren't exactly inappropriate, but her unique aura drew attention from many people around her.

Moreover, Adam discovered that three rather handsome men were already eager to approach and chat them up.

"..."

Adam really wanted to run away, but he was absolutely certain that if he dared to stand up his captain, he would be doomed in the meeting room next week.

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to greet them:

"Captain, good morning."
