Chapter 53: Yan Lu, Death

Seeing Himeko gave up defense and started to attack him, Kevin did not give up attacking and switch to defense like Himeko did. Instead, he continued to attack Himeko. After all, his goal was to kill the Herrscher, and defense would not achieve that goal, and he could not give Himeko a chance to breathe.

The two of them countered each other's moves. You roasted me with fire, and I froze you with ice. Although it sounded like a joke, in fact, each of their moves was fatal, but they were all blocked by the other party.

As time went by, Kevin became more and more skilled in controlling ice and snow.By the end of the fight, Kevin and Himeko no longer relied on physical contact, but began to fight with their own abilities.

Himeko mobilized all his Honkai energy and prepared to launch the final attack. Seeing this, Kevin also mobilized his own ice and snow power with all his strength.

The Australian continent is divided by the two people. Behind Himeko is a sea of ​​fire, and behind Kevin is flying snow.

Both of them were gathering strength, preparing to give each other the final blow.

Before long, the two rushed towards each other at the same time, and the fire and ice collided with each other. The two were evenly matched and entangled in an inseparable way.

Originally, the battle was supposed to continue like this, but the preparations Kevin had made before finally had an effect.When the two were in a stalemate, the cold energy in Himeko's body... broke out.

Himeko's movements paused for a moment because of the burst of cold air, and Kevin seized this small flaw and urged the cold air to form an ice cone. Kevin took advantage of Himeko's pause and directly stabbed the ice cone into Himeko's heart. Himeko's movements stopped, and even the flames generated by the power weakened. Kevin's frost directly overwhelmed the flames and rushed towards the opponent.

The battle was over. The flames had completely died out, and white frost was spreading across the charred land. The entire Australian continent was freed from the burning hell of fire, replaced by a cold permafrost.

In the center of this frozen land, a white-haired man was standing silently.

I won. But now there was no one to celebrate for him. Kevin wasn't happy either.

There was even a hint of sadness in Kevin's eyes. After all, Himeko had always had self-awareness during battles. Even though Himeko had become a Herrscher, Kevin still regarded her as his familiar comrade, the captain of the Fifth Squad.

What makes Kevin sad is that because of the collapse, Kevin had to kill his own comrades.

The red-haired beauty was lying quietly on the ground at this time. Her chest, which was pierced by the ice cone, was still bleeding warmly, dyeing the ice cone a bright blood color. Finally, the cold took away the temperature, and it slowly solidified, forming a bright flower.

Himeko lost. Although she couldn't understand why Kevin had such a strong power, his ice could even freeze his own flames. But now it didn't matter, because she was just a loser. Looking at Kevin's sad eyes, Himeko couldn't help laughing:

"Kevin, you... won, why... are you sad?"

Kevin didn't answer, but just looked at Himeko with a sad look in his eyes.

"You...should...ahem, ahem...be happy. You...killed...another Herrscher. It's such a pity that I've become...a Herrscher and can't...fight...with you...until...the end."

Himeko spoke incoherently, and it looked like time was running out.

"Kevin, I... ahem, can I ask you one last favor? Hua, I didn't... kill that child. Can you... help take care of her... for a while? Just treat it as... the last wish of an old friend."

"......"Hua, Kevin knew her. Himeko had brought Hua to a dance party before, and Kevin had seen her once. He looked at Himeko, who was dying.

"I will."

Kevin promised Himeko in a serious tone.

"Thanks..."

After hearing Kevin's answer, Himeko thanked him, then smiled and closed her eyes, calmly welcoming her death.

Not long after, Himeko was no longer breathing. Kevin went up to check, and then,

"rest in peace."

Hua? Let's go find her. Hopefully she still has a communicator on her. After confirming Himeko's death, Kevin decided to go look for Hua. It would be nice if he could find a communicator along the way. Kevin's communicator had been damaged during the battle with Himeko, so he needed to find a new one to communicate with the Fire Moth headquarters.

Not long after, Kevin discovered Hua's figure with his superhuman perception. It seemed that Hua was attracted by the battle between Kevin and Himeko. Hua was moving towards the center of the battlefield. There was also a special figure beside Hua, a gentle woman with long burgundy hair.

Is this... Eden? Kevin's cold eyes flashed with a hint of color, but it disappeared immediately.

I am now a Fire Moth warrior and the first fusion warrior.

After determining his position, Kevin appeared in front of Eden and Hua.

Seeing the figure suddenly appearing before them, Hua and Eden were both on guard. After seeing who it was, Hua let down his guard. Although they were not very familiar with each other, Hua still knew Kevin, the strongest warrior of the Fire Moth, so he asked, "Captain Kevin, why are you here? And Captain, how is she? Has she...really become a Herrscher?"

Kevin looked coldly at the confused girl in front of him and said, "I have defeated the Seventh Herrscher. The Seventh Herrscher is undoubtedly Himeko, the former captain of the fifth squad of the Fire Moth. I can only answer this. Is your communicator still usable?"

Taking over Hua's communicator, Kevin no longer paid attention to the still confused Hua, but connected to the internal communication of the Fire Moth.

"This is Kevin. The Seventh Herrscher was defeated successfully. We can send people to search for survivors." Ignoring the cheers coming from the other side of the communicator, Kevin turned his gaze back to Hua and Eden.

To be honest, Kevin didn't know how to deal with the two of them. One was the person he promised Himeko to take good care of, and the other was his idol.

I really can't just leave them here. But fortunately, my mission was only to defeat the Seventh Herrscher, and now that the mission has been completed, it is not considered dereliction of duty for me to stay here to protect them.

However, Eden was able to survive the Great Collapse, so she must have good resistance to the Collapse. So Kevin asked Eden: "Ms. Eden, I am a warrior of the Fire Moth, Kevin. Are you willing to join the Fire Moth?"

"Join the Fire Moths?" Eden was confused when he heard the question from the warrior in front of him.

Fire Moth, Eden knew this organization. After all, most of the proceeds from his charity performances were donated to this organization.

In order to make sure that his donation was used in the right place, Eden used his connections to investigate the organization. The information that Eden could find was naturally the information that the Fire Moth had put out in the open.

For example, the Fire Moth is an international medical research organization established by the United Nations. Its purpose is to study how to cure a serious disease called "Honkai Disease" that has emerged in recent years.

Chapter 54 Eden

In Eden's previous understanding, 'Honkai Disease' was just an unknown global intractable disease. As an organization formed to conquer it, the Fire Moth must have gathered a large number of medical experts. In order to protect this group of unarmed doctors, it is certain that the Fire Moth has a certain amount of armed force.

However, along the way, Eden did not see any other Fire Moth soldiers on the road until Kevin appeared.

The existence that ignited the entire Australian continent overnight, listening to Kevin and Hua's conversation, is it called the Herrscher? The existence of the Herrscher was solved by the armed forces of the Fire Moth. So this medical organization called the Fire Moth, is it a serious medical organization?

But this was not the most important thing. Looking at the surrounding ice fields and Kevin, who was unable to control the cold air after the battle with the Herrscher of Fire, causing it to radiate outward, Eden realized a problem.

What about the other fighters of the Fire Moth? Even the most well-trained soldiers can't evacuate all of them in such a short time, right? Unless...

Eden was shocked by his own thoughts, but still asked Kevin in an incredulous tone:

"Mr. Kevin, was the Herrscher defeated by you alone?"

"Yes."

Kevin nodded calmly, as if killing a Herrscher alone was as easy as making a bowl of instant noodles for him. However, considering Kevin's record, perhaps killing a Herrscher alone was just that easy.

But unfortunately, Kevin now doesn’t have such arrogant thoughts. Maybe he just wants to use a calm expression to cover up his inner sadness.

"This is really...exaggerated." Eden couldn't help but sigh. Didn't the young man in front of him know how amazing he was? However, join the Fire Moth? As an artist, I should have disappeared in the sea of ​​fire with the theater. The art of this era has been burned by the fire of the Herrscher of Flame. But I survived. I guess it's because this world still wants me to do something.

So, "Being able to join the Fire Moth, with my ability, I must be able to do something. But is it really that easy to join the Fire Moth?"

"How should I put it? The person who is in charge of recruiting new members at Fire Moth is my... friend?"

Thinking of the quirky pink-haired girl, Kevin had a headache thinking about the relationship between the two of them, and finally reluctantly came up with these two words, well, should it be friends? In fact, Kevin himself was not sure, because the girl seemed to be friends with everyone.

"Really? Then I'll join."

Eden nodded to show that he understood, and agreed to join the Fire Moth.

Seeing that Eden agreed to join the Fire Moth, Kevin was relieved. Both for public and private reasons, Kevin hoped that Eden would join the Fire Moth. After all, Eden was his idol, and he was such a fanatical fan that he would skip classes and fly across half the world just to listen to her concert. Well, Kevin admitted that it was indeed his own selfish desire to let Eden join the Fire Moth.

As for whether Eden could join the Fire Moth, Kevin never thought about this question from beginning to end.

Not to mention Eden's status as a world-class star, joining the Fire Moth would bring great benefits.

Just because the pink-haired girl is now in charge of recruiting new members, Eden won't be able to escape!

Not long after, the Fire Moth soldiers finally arrived at the scene and began to clean up the battlefield and search for survivors.

Kevin took Eden and Hua back to Fire Chaser's base.

After returning to the base, Kevin took Eden to find Alicia and handed Eden over to Alicia to go through the onboarding procedures.

But before Kevin could make any move, Alicia came to the door first.

"Hi, Kevin. How are you?" Alicia greeted as usual when they met.

"Alicia, I need your help with something." Kevin didn't beat around the bush and directly said that he needed help.

"Wow..." Alicia was a little surprised, "It's really rare that you would ask me for help, Kevin."

Alicia saw Eden behind Kevin, rolled her eyes, and then smiled: "Let me guess, it has something to do with the beautiful girl behind you."

"Yes."

Kevin turned to Eden and introduced her, "Ms. Eden, this is the friend I told you about, Alicia. She will complete all your entry procedures from now on."

Hearing this, Eden stepped forward and introduced himself to Alicia: "Hello, Miss Alicia, I am Eden, and I am about to join the Fire Moth. I will trouble you next."

"Just call me Ellie, that's what my friends call me." Ellie said with a smile, "Joining the Fire Moth? Of course no problem. Leave everything to me."

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Kevin said, "Alicia, Ms. Eden is now in your hands. I'm going to go and make a mission report first."

Looking at Kevin's departing back, Alicia still asked a question out of concern.

"Kevin, are you okay?"

Kevin paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward. Kevin knew what Alicia wanted to ask, so he gave this answer:

"I'm fine, Alicia."

"This doesn't look like everything is alright." Looking at Kevin's disappeared figure, Alicia said angrily.

"Miss Alicia." Eden spoke to attract Alicia's attention, and she did attract Alicia's attention.

"Call me Ellie."

"Miss Ellie."

"..."

Looking at the pink-haired girl in front of him who didn't say anything but just smiled at him, Eden sighed softly, "Ellie."

"What's the matter? Eden." Seeing that Eden finally said the name she wanted, Alicia also responded to her.

"It's like this..." Eden decided to trust his intuition, "I'm an artist, and I can vaguely sense the emotions of people around me. Although it can't be seen on the surface, Mr. Kevin seems to be very sad."

"Eden, you can see that." Alicia looked at Eden in surprise.

"Well, but I don't know where Mr. Kevin's sadness comes from."

"It's natural to be sad." When she said this, even the smile on Alicia's face disappeared.

"Eden, do you know who the Seventh Herrscher is? Oh, sorry, I almost forgot you don't know what the Seventh Herrscher is."

"Mr. Kevin has already explained the concept of the Herrscher to me. Ellie, the seventh Herrscher you mentioned is the one that burned down the entire Australian continent, right?"

"Right, so do you know her identity?"

"I don't know." Eden shook his head. "Even Mr. Kevin told me about my identity as a Herrscher."

"The Seventh Herrscher, her name is Himeko, and she was the former captain of the Fifth Squadron of the Fire Moth Chaser. In other words, she is a comrade of Kevin and I."

"Could it be that..."

Eden seemed to have finally realized something and his eyes widened.

"That's right..." Alicia sighed, "This means Kevin personally...killed his comrade."

Chapter 55 Transition

"Is it really like this?"

Eden was also shocked by this cruel truth for a while.

"Right, isn't it cruel?" Alicia smiled again, "Kevin used to be a big boy who loved to laugh. Now it's rare to see a smile on Kevin's face."

"That Mr. Kevin used to love to laugh?" Eden imagined Kevin laughing in his mind. "I'm sorry, I can't imagine what that scene would be like."

"Let's not talk about Kevin." Alicia decided to change the subject, "Eden, let me take you for a physical examination first."

"Thank you, Ellie."

"It's not a problem at all," Alicia said, with her hands behind her back, watching Eden walk backwards. "After all, a cute girl has many privileges, right?"

Looking at the cute pink-haired girl in front of him, Eden's mood also improved. The two girls officially became friends at this moment.

Let us congratulate the Archbishop for having found the Lord she is meant to serve.
