Chapter 35: The birth of the Third Herrscher

*Clang! 

 

The huge Honkai Beast that was attacking aggressively was stopped by a figure that was so small compared to it, no, it was not only blocked, the small figure swing the Greatsword Nitro Crystal in swiftly.

That small figure was Kouro, he split the head of the Honkai Beast in two, the Honkai Beast still maintained the posture of moving forward, and all its movements stopped at this moment like pressing the pause button.

In the next instant, the Honkai Beast shattered into a white powder like a bubble, and the powder itself continuously broke apart, finally turning into something invisible to the naked eye and then disappearing completely into the air. 

"I'm afraid it will be too bloody scene, Honkai Beast blood will be splattered everywhere, but did it turn out like this? Pretty good, a bit family friendly" 

Kouro held the Nitro crystal sword on his shoulder, focused his eyes on alert, then glanced at Mei who had been standing still with her head half bowed since he injected Houkai energy into her. 

He then looked back at the forest not far from where he was, he saw a bigger Honkai Beast. From the one he had just fought. 

However, it shouldn't be too tiring to deal with it on your own. Although these Huge-sized Honkai Beasts looked amazing, in Kouro's memory, these creatures in the game had the codename 'Chariot', had always been very basic Honkai beasts, and had no strong role.

In the outskirts of Nagazora City, a place that can be said to be shaded by various plants and has a calming view. Now completely unrecognizable, several large cracks appeared on the ground. Beautiful flowers and grass buried together with the sinking dirt. And an uncomfortable atmosphere due to the increased Houkai Energy Concentration.

Every attack made by Kouro using the greatsword Nitro Crystal was full of Strength, and the massive Chariot had a power befitting his body, the confrontation between the two could make the air vibrate violently at any moment. 

However, according to him, this is was not a real fight, in Kouro's eyes the movement of the large Honkai Beast Chariot was very awkward. 

Maybe because of its size, or maybe this Honkai Beast, which moved slowly just like in the game, had such characteristics.

Although their attacks and speed might reach a level that ordinary people's eyes couldn't avoid, But in Kouro's eyes their movements weren't too fast or even very slow, so he could easily dodge them with just a little attention.

He had already strengthened his strength many times with the system, except for using the Greatsword Nitro Crystal to fend off attacks from the Houkai Beast Chariot, Kouro didn't try to block the opponent's attacks using his body. 

He didn't think he would die if he got hit by that attack or even get seriously injured, even so, Kouro wouldn't do it anyway, he just wanted to save his stamina as much as possible. 

After all just because if this Honkai Beast Chariot was eliminated, He might have to face another enemy, an enemy stronger than the Chariot-type Honkai Beast.

*Boom! Boom! Boom! 

After a series of sounds of heavy objects landing, Several Honkai Beast Chariots that appeared after, such as the first turning into white powder under Kouro's Nitro Crystal sword, it became small particles then disappeared and scattered back into the air, Kouro frowned seeing this. 

[You have Leveled up]

"What!?... " Seeing that he leveled up, Kouro was shocked, Does that mean he killed Honkai as a condition to level up? He opened his status interface.

Houkai : 36

Point : 11

Look like level up will increases 1 point to all stats plus 5 free points, just like in video games, leveling up is the fastest way to become strong. 

However, what is the level up requirement? kill Honkai or absorb Houkai Energy? 

In Kouro's knowledge, Houkai is an unpredictable manifestation, it can be natural disasters, plagues, digital viruses, and so on. While Honkai are creatures created by being infected by Houkai energy. 

According to the Law of conservation of energy in Physics, Honkai Beasts, which were originally ordinary animals, soared to a massive size of more than ten meters, should have absorbed a large amount of Houkai energy, when he defeated a Honkai Beast the Houkai energy within their body should have been absorbed into his body, but he didn't feel the Houkai energy, which meant the Houkai that formed the Honkai Beast were returned to their original state and filled the air.

That means it's not Houkai energy but something else, but what? 

Kouro stopped thinking about the system, because he had no clue, after all having a gold finger like that was beyond common sense.

Compared to that, he was more curious about other things, since this world had survived to this point, it seemed like Schicksal, Anti-Entropy and World Serpent had their own methods of eliminating Houkai.

He was indeed a little curious about it, after all Houkai had many manifestations, but instead of thinking of a method to eliminate Houkai that gave even someone like Otto Apocalypse a headache, Kouro had other more important things to do. 

He turned around, and started to approach Mei who had been silent from the start, and didn't have any physical movement. 

Kouro gripped the Nitro Crystal Greatsword in his hand so hard until his fingers turned white. 

Compared to approaching a friend, Kouro's current alert actions were more like he was ready to approach a very dangerous foe.

He then stopped when he was five meters from Mei. 

"You... " When Kouro said his first words, Mei who had been lowering her head for a while, suddenly raised her head. 

There is a saying that the eyes are the window to the heart, previously the original Mei had a pair of black eyes with gentleness and understanding, seeing these eyes no matter how serious people were, they would feel relaxed.

 But Now Kouro saw a pair of purple eyes that looked cruel and uncaring, filled with a terrifying aura that could make one feel cold.

True Herrschers are apostles of the 'Will of Houkai' who wreak havoc on the world, they can control Honkai, can directly connect with the 'Will of Houkai', they only have one goal which is to destroy humanity. 

But Mei was different, she wasn't True Herrscher, nor was the Apostle chosen by the 'Will of Houkai', nor had the goal of destroying the world.

 She is part of the power of Second Herrscher (Herrscher of Void) - [Gem of Conquest], the artificial Herrscher besides being weaker than the real Herrscher, It also can't control Honkai, can't contact the 'Will of Houkai', and currently because of she new born she(Herrscher Mei) has no intention of destroying the world, this she will temporarily only follow Mei's deepest wishes, maybe when Herrscher Mei's personality matures, She will be recognized by 'Will of Houkai' and become True Herrscher.

At this moment, Mei was no longer the gentle girl she was before. 

Kouro calmed his somewhat turbulent breath due to the battle with the Honkai Beast, and readjusted his body to the best state, he still had the 'Status recovery' as his trump card.

He was ready to defeat Mei who was now controlled by her Herrscher personality and let her return to her normal state, even though in his heart he knew that his winning percentage was very small. 

Kouro suddenly realized that 'Mei' was just staring at him and not taking any action, he didn't feel the other party's killing intent.

At this moment 'Mei' who was just staring at him suddenly spoke up in a cold tone. "Do you want to destroy this world with me, Human?" 

This unexpected invitation left Kouro dumbfounded, but then he smiled and extended his hand towards 'Mei'. 

"No, you must come and save this world with me, Mei."
