K424 of the Collapse World

That's right... For her, I'm willing to do anything...

"Heh... Mr. Siegfried, it seems your daughter is really popular... Unfortunately, I am not the one with destiny. But she is my target too!"

At this point, Fenrir shook his arm and threw out a piece of metal from the armor on his wrist again, using the Houkai energy stored inside to condense into an arrow. However, this time the Houkai crystals that made up the arrow were deep red.

Her meaning was self-evident. Siegfried looked at the girl in a fighting stance with his brows deeply furrowed.

He originally thought that this girl was from the secret assassination unit of the Destiny Organization, so she didn't know her identity. Now it seems that this is not the case...

Siegfried glanced at the little girl behind him.

(Be it Otto or this guy, why are there so many people spying on you...? But... it doesn't matter. If I can't even protect you, how can I have the nerve to say I'll rescue Kiana?)

"Run...get away from here."

Siegfried said to the girl, while keeping his eyes on Fenrir, guarding against her sudden attack. Looking at the arrow made of Honkai energy crystal in her hand, Siegfried strengthened his guard.

"dad……?"

"Be obedient, it will be over soon."

Listening to Siegfried's confident voice, the girl thought for a moment, nodded, and ran forward.

Looking at the girl's gradually getting smaller and farther away, Fenrir was about to stop her when he saw Siegfried pointing two guns at him.

Feeling the hostility coming from Siegfried, Fenrir frowned. (It seems that if I don't defeat him, I can't chase that girl... I just don't know how powerful the legendary God of War is...)

--boom! !

Fenrir was thinking, but suddenly, Siegfried took the lead in attacking! The cannon-shaped Holy Fire Judgment burst out with powerful compressed energy, directly blasting the tree where Fenrir was! The terrifying heat energy instantly turned the shattered wood into ashes!

As a result of the attack, smoke and dust filled the area. Siegfried stared at it, and suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he hurriedly crossed his guns in front of him.

----bite!!

A red light suddenly tore through the smoke and dust in front of it and shot towards Siegfried! It hit the spear of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire, and with a crisp sound, the crystal-like arrow shattered. The huge impact made Siegfried take two steps back!

If Siegfried had not blocked the attack just now, the arrow would have easily pierced his throat!

"As expected of the legendary Key of God... It's so strong that no attack can break it..."

boom!boom!

Siegfried instantly aimed his gun in the direction of the sound and fired. Even with ordinary energy bullets, the tree trunk was easily broken! Wood chips flew everywhere, and the remaining high temperature set the remaining tree on fire...

Looking at the burning tree, Siegfried frowned. Obviously, including the previous attack, he still failed to hit the girl. Her figure was as elusive as a ghost, especially in this forest.

The dense branches and leaves became a perfect umbrella for her to hide herself.

"Hehe~ Since you have chosen to fight me in the jungle, then you should see my best fighting style!"

The girl's voice was ethereal and clear, as if it came from all directions, and it was impossible to pinpoint its exact location...

"Yeah……?"

Faced with this situation, Siegfried did not panic. He raised his two guns and began to think.

In fact, if he just stood here to delay, he could stop Fenrir from chasing Kiana and force Fenrir to reveal himself. However, Siegfried was also in a hurry. Thinking of the flash of the Honkai reaction, he thought of the tragedy of the second Honkai...

(There should be a village at that location... Damn it! I must go and check what happened...)

"Well... it shouldn't be a problem if I just use it for a little while."

While talking to himself, Siegfried merged the two guns of the Holy Fire Judge together...

The whole village was engulfed in flames.

Perhaps someone knocked over a kerosene lamp or something else while fleeing, which caused the fire in the village. However, since most of the houses were made of wood, the fire, which was not very big before, seemed to have life and grew rapidly, devouring one wooden house after another.

The rolling heat waves, the flying fire powder, the spitting flames, and the red flames illuminated the entire sky. In the crackling sound of burning wood, there were people's screams, children's cries, and monsters' roars...

"Damn it...what the hell is going on?!"

A man yelled as if to vent his anger, and hurriedly ran along the path in the village. When he passed a corner, one of his legs was suddenly grabbed by a gray arm! In fear, he hurriedly raised his foot, trying to break free, but this thin woman's arm was so strong that even an adult man could not break free, and the next moment, he was dragged to the ground!

“Ah…! Asshole… let go!”

The man struggled desperately, and hit the assassin's arm with all his might, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the arm to let go of his ankle.

The last thing this man saw was the pale face of the assassin approaching...

·————————————·

The same situation happened repeatedly in this village.

The ground was littered with broken limbs, which looked as if they had been torn off with great force. Some of them could not even be seen in their original shape.

There are still living people in the village, but under such circumstances, their numbers will only become smaller and smaller.

“Don’t… don’t come over here…!!”

The short man leaned against the wall, looking at the approaching 'person', his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. A few hours ago, he was still happily chatting and working with the 'person' in front of him, but now, he witnessed with his own eyes that 'person' tore a woman from the same village to pieces, and then turned his eyes to him.

Looking at the empty eyes of the "man", the short man trembled even more. Fear deprived him of the ability to think. At this moment, he could only watch the other person slowly approach him. Apart from that, he could do nothing...

The hand that the assassin stretched out had already touched the tip of his nose, and he felt a hint of coldness. The short man closed his eyes in despair...

At this moment, he had given up listening, watching, and feeling the fear. Even if he was lying to himself, he just wanted to die more easily...

But, will these irrational assassins really do as he wishes?

(I…I don’t want to die…!)

However, no matter how much he refused in his heart, he could only wait for death to come.

……

(Huh…? What’s going on?)

He closed his eyes tightly and waited for a while, but the man did not feel any pain.

(What’s going on…? Isn’t it going to tear me apart and eat me like the other monsters?)

Feeling a little strange, the man tried to open his eyes, and what he saw was a figure that was shorter than him.

It was a little boy, and I knew him...

Under the child's feet was a cracked ground. The body of the dead soldier had fallen to the ground, and the place where the dead soldier's head should have been was located in the center of the crack. However, the dead soldier's head had disappeared, and in its place was a pool of red sticky liquid radiating from the crack...

It must be said that this man's self-hypnosis was quite effective. The boy had selectively ignored the loud noise made by stepping on the assassin's head, so that he had no idea what had just happened.

"You, you...you are Kerry?"

"Ah... Uncle Zarek, you are still alive... Sorry, I thought you were dead when I saw you with your eyes closed and not moving. I was just about to give you a shot to prevent you from becoming a dead soldier."

Kerry spoke calmly, raising the axe he was carrying on his shoulder.

“Ah…? No! No no no…! Look, I’m still alive and I’m not injured.

! I won’t turn into those monsters…”

Zalek's face turned blue with fear, and he hurriedly explained. To be honest, he was very afraid of this boy at the moment. After all, a few days ago, he was the one who suspected that he was infected with Honkai and threatened to kill him in front of the villagers. Now, with this boy standing in front of him, he always felt a little nervous.

Seeing this man frightened like this, Kerry also put away his playful intentions. Although his perception ability was much weaker than Lan Feng's, at this distance, he could naturally know that the man in front of him was not infected with Honkai energy.

"Okay, Uncle Zarek, I have cleared all the assassins on the road over there. You just need to go over there and you can leave here safely."

As he spoke, Kerry frowned as he looked at his shoes stained with blood. He had not concealed his mutated left arm, but his arm was hidden in his sleeves, and his hands were stained with the blood of the dead during the battle, so Zalek did not notice the abnormal purple-black color of Kerry's left arm.

"Kerry...? You...are really Kerry?"

Zarek's voice was trembling, and he still couldn't figure out what was going on. He couldn't figure out why this normally inconspicuous little boy could be so powerful? And... so cold?

He stomped on the head of the assassin, which was very abnormal. This was obviously not something a normal human could do. Moreover, after doing all this, his expression did not change at all...

"Kerry... who exactly are you...?"

Zarek tried to ask, looking at the boy in front of him with some disbelief, as if he got to know him all over again.

Pulling his foot out of the pool of blood, Kerry moved his hands and looked at the man with cold eyes.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to escape? Then come with me to find other survivors..."

“No, no…! No need… I, I’ll leave now…”

What a joke! I finally managed to save my life, why do I have to face those horrible things?

Zalek said hurriedly, he struggled to get up, and staggered to the place where Kerry pointed. Although he felt strange about Kerry's abnormality, Zalek didn't want to risk his life to satisfy his curiosity.

Looking at his hurriedly leaving figure, Kerry shook his head. If he hadn't met Lan Feng, he would probably behave like that man in this situation.

"Ah... Damn it, I forgot to ask that guy about Lan Feng's situation..."

Suddenly thinking of this incident, Kerry's expression became a little gloomy, and he couldn't help feeling irritated. However, suddenly remembering Lan Feng's warning, he immediately forced himself to calm down. He quickly adjusted his state and ran forward again...

--puff!

The sharp sword pierced into the chest of a assassin like lightning, and then the blade turned, directly making a big hole in the assassin's chest!

As the dirty blood gushed out, Claire turned around to avoid the attack of a assassin, and at the same time, he slashed the assassin behind him in half with his backhand!

Black blood splashed all over the sky like a fountain! Claire swung her sword again, taking a side step and swinging it with all her strength! The huge force attached to the blade cut the two assassins in front of her in half at once!

043 Inspiration >>

“Damn it! This is going to go on forever…!”

The battle didn't last long. It could be said that in an instant, Claire killed all the assassins around her! However, looking at the groups of black shadows wandering in front of her, even Claire felt a little scalp tingling.

"No, we will be surrounded if we continue like this. We can't take this road!"

Claire acted decisively and ran into a side road. Several nearby assassins chased after her, but when they rushed in, they had lost sight of Claire.

"Ha... Fortunately, these things don't have high IQs. However, it is indeed very dangerous. We were almost stuck in a dead end..."

Crouching behind a wall, Claire panted slightly. In fact, most of the dead soldiers moved very slowly, but those who were more compatible with Honkai energy would have more dangerous power! Even special individuals would appear.

"Come to think of it...are there really still people alive in this village...?"

Claire frowned, and when the assassins dispersed, she stood up and looked around with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

"Anyway... let's search the area first..."

Claire muttered to herself as she ran in a direction with fewer dead soldiers...

·————————————·

In a corner of the village, there were bursts of crisp sounds of hard objects colliding!

--Ding!

Suddenly, with a clear sound, a dagger flew up into the sky. The silver-haired girl covered her wrist and stepped back, creating some distance between herself and the opponent in front of her. Her face was somewhat gloomy and uncertain.

(The difference in power is too great...!)

Lan Feng glared at the girl in front of him. Although she didn't seem to have any special abilities, her skill in using the sickle was amazing.

Skilled and fierce, every move is deadly! In terms of close combat, she is many times stronger than Lan Feng, who has no fighting skills at all. Moreover, based on her physical strength alone, as a special death warrior, she is completely superior to Lan Feng...

Lan Feng had fought Honkai beasts in the forest before, and usually she could kill them instantly with one strike. However, facing such an intelligent and dodging enemy, she naturally found herself in a tough fight.

(Damn... I didn't expect her to be this powerful! Although I already knew she wasn't an ordinary sickle girl, but with this kind of strength... she should be more difficult to deal with than that spider!)

Lan Feng thought angrily, but her movements were not slow. She raised her hand, and an ominous purple light began to flash. Recalling the feeling of controlling the Honkai in battle, the purple light quickly took shape, and solidified in the next moment!

Under Lan Feng's drive, the Honkai energy crystal shot out towards the dead girl!

However, this method of attack was not the first time Lan Feng used it in this battle...

Like before, the conical purple crystals were shattered by the swift sword light, and the broken crystals flew towards the row of houses behind. Under the powerful impact, the stone walls exploded!

But this time, it didn't end so easily! After defeating the incoming attack, the blade flashed by with unabated force, crossing a distance of several meters in an instant, leaving a bloody mark on the girl's waist!

"Well……!"

Lan Feng stumbled slightly, but immediately stood firm again, opened her eyes wide, and locked onto the enemy in front of her. A sharp cone-shaped crystal condensed in her hand, and she stabbed at the death warrior girl holding the sickle, but she stabbed nothing! At some point, the death warrior girl's figure had disappeared from the spot...

"Too slow~"

Hearing the teasing voice of a girl in his ears, Lan Feng turned back in shock, but could only see the black light flashing again!

--puff!

Even though he jumped back with all his strength, Lan Feng still got a deep wound on his chest from the huge sickle! Blood splattered everywhere...

However, the death girl did not completely suppress Lan Feng. The moment she injured Lan Feng, she was fiercely counterattacked!
