Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"No matter how you think about it, you are still a human being, right?"

"On the contrary, I think that our definition of Honkai Beast doesn't need to be so rigid, but can be more flexible."

Kaino shrugged and offered his own opinion:

"What are Honkai beasts? They're animals that use Honkai energy and are hostile to humans. Of course, in this world, they're not hostile to humans, so the only thing left is using Honkai energy and animals."

"I am an animal, and I also use Honkai energy. If that's the case, then it makes sense that I'm a Honkai beast, right?"

"If that doesn't work, we can just catch a Knight-class Honkai Beast. Before the match, I'll ride on that horse, sneak in, and then we'll fight our own battles..."

"But no matter what, the rules are decided by the organizers, right? This level of deception..."

Lan Xier had a complicated expression.

She has a soft personality and some things are hard for her to say, but Kainuo can understand.

The organizers are not blind - although the words are a bit rough, this is what Xier wants to express.

Kaino sighed regretfully, but he couldn't refute it.

"Hmm? Hey, Kaino, I remember that... instruction manual. Didn't it say that Tamers can participate in battles?"

It seems that the ice cream was so attractive to Hong Xier that she didn't read the instruction manual carefully.

It was clearly her who had been clamoring to participate in the competition before...

Kaino sighed and began to explain:

"If it's just about capturing Honkai beasts, the tamer can naturally participate in the battle. After all, it's part of taming a beast."

"But when it comes to the finals, the tamers can only give orders, and the fighting has to be left to the Honkai beasts."

This is quite understandable, considering this is the Master Tamer Challenge. If tamers could participate, it would have the potential to become the world's premier martial arts tournament.

If it develops like that, I'm sure the organizers... might also want to see it?

In short, tamers are prohibited from participating in the finals, which is why Kayno wants to disguise himself as Honkaimon to participate in the finals.

After all, with his super strength and the Divine Key, even if his current Honkai Energy limit is low, he should be able to defeat most Honkai beasts. Moreover, by the time of the finals, he should have recovered almost completely.

As for those Honkai beasts that cannot be defeated... In a competition in just one city, there won't be any Judgment-level Honkai beasts.

But there is no point in saying this now.

"Boss, please give me ten more cups of bitter melon juice and twenty servings of sea salt ice cream to take away."

After ordering food from the cold drink shop owner, Kaino looked at the two Xi'er:

"It's getting late, you guys should eat here first. I remember there's a hotel on the way here, I'll go book a room first. Remember to stay at home, otherwise I won't be able to find you."

"Oh, right. Do you two want one room or two rooms? Single bed or double bed?"

"A single bed in one room will be enough. Xi'er is the one who needs to sleep. I'll just stay in the stigmata space."

Hong Xier replied with a shrug.

"Oh, okay."

After freezing the bitter melon juice and ice cream that the boss had placed on the table and putting them into the imaginary space, Kainuo turned and left the cold drink shop.

After confirming that he was not being followed, Kainuo did not go directly to the hotel, but first went to a deserted alley.

Keno has always been concerned about the fact that he was unconscious due to the holy scar on his chest. After all, he also experienced a similar fainting spell when he woke up, and even traveled through the world because of it.

But after waking up, Xier has been by his side, and he didn't feel anything unusual in his body, so Kainuo didn't take it seriously.

Until I caught a glimpse of it while changing in the swimwear store.

A palm-sized mirror reappeared in his hand, and Kayno used it to observe his stigmata.

Two entangled snakes with a hollow diamond-shaped square in the center.

Kaino frowned.

"It has indeed changed... I've never heard of stigmata and mid-transformation?"

The hollowing out of the diamond-shaped square in the middle of the snake has become larger, making it look more like an eye.

Kainuo was sure that he was not mistaken. After all, he had often looked at the holy scar on his chest in the past few years, so he had already memorized its image.

But why does it change?

Shaking his head, Keno gave up thinking.

Since there is nothing wrong with your body, just put it aside for now. When you return to your own world, you can ask your aunt to help check it out.

Chapter 52 Small Creation

The next day, early in the morning.

As soon as the sun rose, Kayno and his team sneaked to the place where they encountered the knight-level Honkai beast yesterday, intending to capture it before the other players noticed it.

"Brother Kaino...will this really work?"

Xier's voice sounded a little worried.

"Of course, since that's what the instruction manual says, then it should be fine."

Kaino patted his chest and said confidently:

"Xi'er, that Knight-level Honkai Beast is right up ahead, right? If it makes any movement, tell us."

"Good good..."

Hong Xier yawned and looked at Kainuo and Xier who were groping forward like blind people with a bored look on her face.

As for why this happened, it was simply because their eyes were covered with a layer of black cloth.

Since eye contact will put both parties into a fighting state, then as long as they cannot look at each other, they cannot enter the fighting state - this is what Kayno thought.

I'm not trying to cover up the truth. Judging from its behavior when someone was feeding the Honkai Beast yesterday, the Honkai Beast should be extremely kind under normal circumstances.

At least in this world, this Honkai beast is like that.

So Kaynor guessed that the act of eye contact was probably like the red cloth in the hands of a bullfighter to Honkai Beast. Without it, Honkai Beast would not attack them.

If my guess turns out to be true, I can skip classes and capture powerful Honkai beasts when I encounter them in the future. Even if I guess wrong, it's okay, after all, it's just a Knight-level Honkai beast.

"Alright, alright, the Honkai beast is right in front of you now."

Hong Xier's slightly surprised voice sounded.

"It obviously saw you, but it seems to treat you as guests rather than trainers... Your idea actually worked?"

"Creation~"

A slightly childish child's voice was heard in front of him, and Kayno felt his body being pushed by the knight-level Honkai beast.

His body couldn't help but stiffen.

This low-level Honkai beast can actually speak?

And it looks like he treats himself as a playmate.

"Hmm...good boy?"

After a slight hesitation, Kayno reached out and stroked the Honkai Beast - in his understanding, most pets like to be rubbed.

At least that was the case with the cat his sister had when she was a child.

“Creation~Creation!”

"Hmm! You're pretty good at soothing pets, aren't you? It looks pretty happy now."

Hong Xier's voice sounded again:

"So, what are you going to do? Even if blindfolding it doesn't provoke hostility, you'll still have to fight it in the end, right?"

"It's true that we can only tame it through battle, but fighting... doesn't mean it has to be equal."

Kaino smiled, with a hint of joy in his voice:

"Xier, come here and help me calm it down."

"Eh? Ok, ok!"

Upon hearing this, Xier hurried forward to take over the task of comforting Kainuo.

Kaino retreated slightly, creating a breeze to observe the Knight-level Honkai Beast's current situation. He then placed a hand on it, his voice tinged with apology:

"Well, I'm sorry!"

"Creation?"

There was a hint of confusion in the Honkai Beast's voice, but it soon became panic-stricken.

"Create!"

Chains appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by a burst of blue light, and clamped down on the knight-level Honkai beast's joints. It was locked tightly, unable to move, like a crab tied up in a seafood restaurant.

"Hey, done!"

Kaino untied the black cloth on his eyes and looked at the human part of the Knight-level Honkai Beast in a friendly manner.

Although it was a Honkai Beast, it was not lifeless, but had a lively expression. After seeing Kayno's eyes, the Honkai Beast seemed to realize something and immediately became angry.

"Create!"

"Brother Kainuo, is this really okay? It seems very angry now..."

Lan Xier beside him looked at the Honkai Beast with some worry.

Hong Xier nodded and began to add fuel to the fire:

"Yeah, yeah, you're really the one who did that to the innocent and weak Honkai beast... Hey, wait, what is it trying to do? Kaino, let's fight it!"

The locked Honkai Beast had a very unwilling expression on its face, and the horse under it stared at Lan Xier with its eyes opening and closing continuously, as if it wanted to bite her, which scared Xier so much that her body trembled.

This scene made Hong Xier very angry.

"He must have entered combat mode, right? Even though his body was locked, he still wanted to attack. His resistance is quite strong."

Looking at the man on horseback who was trying to stretch his head to bite him, Kainuo rubbed his chin and said.

Because he had calculated the distance in advance, he was not worried about the other party biting him. Instead, he thought the other party's efforts to stretch its head and try to hurt him were quite cute.

Aside from their ferocity, the assassins were all fair-skinned and beautiful girls. And although the one in front of him was a Honkai beast, its upper half was also a humanoid assassin.

"Brother Kaino, we look like the villains in the comics..."

"Putting aside the fact that it's a Honkai beast, how could a villain defeat the protagonist in order to tame him as a fighting partner?"

Kaino shrugged.

"But speaking of it, it lost its ability to resist during the battle. Should we consider it tamed?"

"Creation..."

After hearing what Kaynor said, the Knight-level Honkai Beast suddenly stopped resisting and just lay on the ground, making depressed noises. The girl on the horse also hung her head in disappointment.

"Admit defeat?"

Kainuo pushed the boy's head and confirmed again.

"Creation."

The girl and the horse nodded in disappointment.

Kaino snapped his fingers, and the chains binding the Honkai Beast instantly vanished. The Knight-class Honkai Beast climbed up from the ground and followed Kaino closely.

“It always feels like it’s unhappy.”

Lan Xier looked at the Honkai Beast with its head down, her face showing an expression of pity.

"Why should we be unhappy? We can't hurt them with our weapons! On the contrary, they keep trying to bite us."

Kaino shrugged and signaled Xier not to worry.

"Creation?"

The Knight-class Honkai Beast raised its two heads and stared blankly at Kaynor. After a moment, it looked at Lan Xier with tears in its eyes.

"Creation~Creation~"

Kainuo:?

Can you even act like a spoiled child?
