Honkai, they all became my stigmata

The girl began to struggle again, not knowing how to organize her words.

"Miss Xier, do you like Chen Yu?"

Sakura's overly blunt question quickly stained the girl's cheeks bright red.

"me……"

"...It seems so."

After all, even the children in the orphanage could tell.

"Since you like him, you should express your feelings to him."

"But, I've only known him for five days..."

It's the fifth day after all the calculations.

—Will this make him feel a little frivolous?

"...Maybe the bond between you is much longer than you imagined."

Sakura thought of the reincarnation hypothesis put forward by Shang Chenyu the night before. Although she didn't believe it, combined with Xier's strange behavior... maybe there is a little bit of credibility.

"what does that mean?"

Xier obviously didn't understand the meaning.

"...It's nothing, I can see that he cares about you very much, I think, to be honest, he should accept it."

The role of love mentor may not be suitable for Sakura.

"Thank you...thank you..."

Encouraged by Sakura, Xier stood up and stood firm a little in front of the seat, as if to cheer herself up.

"Then, when he comes back later, I'll..."

"……wish you success."

Sakura looked at the hesitant girl in front of her, shouldn't she avoid this situation?

At this moment, the bell outside the window rang.

One after another, the dull bell rang twelve times in a row.

Is it already twelve o'clock, Sakura thought in her heart.

In terms of time, this has already reached the "fifth day" that Chen Yu said.

...isn't this nothing happening?

However, the time is almost up, and it is time to go back.

Speaking of which, why hasn't Chen Yu come back...

"..."

The girl with black and blue hair not far away was suddenly silent and did not respond.

"...Miss Seele?"

Sakura originally wanted to take a step forward, but the next moment, an intense sense of crisis crazily emerged in her heart.

——That was her instinct as a killer, her perception of danger, she quickly retreated to the open space beside her, and after ensuring her safety, she cautiously looked at the girl in front of her.

He instinctively told himself that if she continued to get close to Xier, she would die.

In addition to this inner warning, the changes in the surrounding environment are obviously more proof of the other party's danger and some kind of supernatural change.

Fog, black fog, dangerous and deadly.

The black mist that came from nowhere began to spread around, and everything touched by it began to rot, and the girl's body quickly became blank, and there was no longer any other things.

Sakura has no doubt that if she is also exposed to those black mist, she will also be eroded.

"..."

This aura is very similar to the one that destroyed her hometown back then, ominous and deadly.

At the same time, Sakura heard the roar of monsters and the sound of people running and screaming in all directions.

Some kind of [disaster] began to spread.

And in the center of the black mist, the girl seems to have completed her transformation.

"Ciel..."

The girl tried to call out again, but she quickly realized her mistake.

No, is the person in front of her really still [Xie'er]?

Maybe the body doesn't change, but the personality...

The girl slowly twisted her neck and stretched out her hand gently, the surrounding black mist suddenly gathered, and then flocked to where Sakura was.

"Come and play with Xier..."

Although it was still a girl's voice, the tone was dry and terrifying, making one feel frightened.

According to legend, in a certain fairy tale, when the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella's magic will be invalidated, and the beautiful clothes given by the fairy will disappear.

Well, it might be the same in reverse.

When the clock strikes twelve o'clock at midnight, the black magic from fate... will also descend on the girl.

What enveloped her was not the magnificent clothes and crystal shoes, but the curse imposed on her by fate.

[The Herrscher of Death] was born here.

Chapter 26

till death do us part

The mist that can swallow everything is approaching, and Sakura must make an immediate decision.

Fight her, or run away.

Faced with such a weird enemy, can her sword really kill him?Or maybe it was because her body would be corroded by the black mist before her attack reached the girl's side?

After weighing the two, she decided to escape from here, but as the person closest to Xier, her position is located in the center of the girl's domain, surrounded by thick black mist, and it is not possible to escape from here. what an easy thing.

After a while of hiding, she was still bitten by the black mist, and the clothes on her body were corroded a little.If it wasn't for her agility, she might have lost more than just this cover.

"Tsk..."

After a while, the girl was finally cornered, and there was no longer any place to hide. The girl named Xi'er walked forward slowly, gradually approaching where she was.

It seems that there is nowhere to escape, but at this time, Sakura's heart is calm.

She looked directly at the girl who was walking towards her, waiting for the opportunity, and planned to launch the final attack with her own instant speed——

But Xi'er's pace stopped, the black mist covering him suddenly abandoned Sakura, and attacked in another direction in unison.

At the same time, the white flower worn on the edge of her hair bloomed with light in both eyes, and the surrounding space was distorted. With the white flower as a singular point, a different space that sucked people into it opened up. Caught off guard, was sucked into it.

"This is……"

Before Sakura had time to be surprised, Chen Yu's figure appeared next to her in an instant, gently picked her up, and jumped into a sub-kong gate.

A moment later, on a clearing, far away from the city, Chen Yu jumped out of the Yakong Gate with Sakura.

"...Sakura, get out of here quickly, this place will become very lively in a while."

He let go of the hand holding Sakura, and gave her freedom. At the same time, he took out the mask of the poisonous chrysalis from the imaginary space and stuffed it into Sakura's hand.

Of course, the sword still couldn't be returned, after all, he still needed a weapon to deal with the Herrscher of Death.

"what have you done……?"

"...Temporarily lock her up, the white flower that was given to her was also used for this purpose."

Chen Yu pointed to behind him, where a pitch-black block floated.

The white flower given to Xier was intended to protect her and restrain her when necessary.

He opened the [Infinite Corridor] with the white flower given to Xier as the starting point, and sealed the Herrscher of Death in it. Buy some time.

However, it is enough for him to bring the Sixth Herrscher to this place far away from the urban population. If they fight here, the loss can be minimized.

Chen Yu stretched out her hand and summoned a portal behind Sakura.

"... Boss, have you recalled everything?"

"Well, the moment [she] appeared, all my sealed memories were awakened."

Although the influence that Alponia exerted on him was effective, it was also extremely fragile. The moment he sensed the breath of the Herrscher of Death, he re-aware of the existence called Houkai, and the memory of the past few days was immediately lost. up.

Even, not only this moment, but also those memories including those before, all flooded into my mind one by one.

But Chen Yu doesn't have time to review the details of the past one by one. After all, the threat of the Herrscher of Death is close at hand.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. I'll send you away. I'll take care of the rest."

With a thought of Chen Yu, a spatial thrust appeared out of thin air, pushing the cherry-colored girl into it.

Sakura originally wanted to say something about Xier, but after thinking about it, she changed it to a blessing.

"...I hope you survive."

"Survive... This doesn't seem to be an easy task."

Behind him, the surface of the black box formed by the infinite corridor has begun to crack, and the death energy that corrodes everything spreads out from it, making the girl's figure reappear in front of Chen Yu.

Sighing lightly, Chen Yu pointed the sword in her hand at the Sixth Herrscher.

"Is this the first time we have fought, [Herserscher of Death]?"

……

On the barren land between the two cities, the sky began to rain lightly at some point.

But those drizzles didn't affect the fierce battle that took place there. The drifting raindrops were either deflected by the distorted space, or swallowed by the dead fog that corroded everything.

Chen Yu's sword is protected by space deflection just like himself, so it will not be corroded by the mist. Walking through the black mist, he swung his long sword suddenly, and the fierce offensive was drawn from top to bottom, the law of dying The victim's right arm was severed.

But soon, her wounds began to regenerate rapidly.

The power of the Herrscher of Death, in addition to the [Decomposition] black mist, [Creation] is also difficult to deal with.

In just a few breaths, her right hand was restored to its original state.

Of course, this trick is not unbreakable.

【Virtual Realm Comes】

Hundreds of hollows spread out around the Herrscher of Death, and a little bit of cold light came out of them, which were countless archon spears.

With a light wave of Chen Yu's sword, those archon spears fired at full speed, covering the figure of the Herrscher of Death. Even though the black mist could dispel the impact and attack, imaginary creations continued to accumulate on her body Wound.

As long as the speed of the injury appears, it will overwhelm her own healing ability——

He has fought the Herrscher of Death more than once, and he is naturally familiar with how to decipher her ability.

The archon's spear pierced her body and nailed her to the barrier raised by the dust feathers. To heal herself, she must first dissolve these imaginary creations.

Although the power of the law of death can indeed decompose everything, it is obvious that the speed of decomposition will be affected when facing different things.

Before she breaks free, as long as the sword in her hand stabs into her chest, she can easily take her life and end this sudden sixth collapse.

However, an obvious conclusion is that he has indeed fought the Herrscher of Death many times, and has gained insight into her abilities and techniques, but every time... he is the one who loses the battle.

It wasn't because of his inferiority in combat power. In the few minutes when he had used all his strength, it was not difficult to overwhelm the Herrscher of Death and kill him.

The real reason is——

"Chen Yu, I don't want to... die..."

A weak and trembling voice came from the mouth of the girl in front of her.

"..."

She is begging for mercy, she is acting.

She was just pretending to be the original girl to gain sympathy.
