Chapter 149: Chapter 48: Convergence, Shattered, Downfall
The Cleaver of Shamash traced bright arcs in the night, slicing the approaching monsters into pieces. Siegfried stood amidst the flames, watching the creatures surrounding him. Not just Honkai Beasts, but also those blue, semi-transparent entities.
Though most appeared as mere color variants of Honkai Beasts, these creatures proved troublesome when confronted with the real beasts. They attacked upon meeting, oddly creating a relatively safe zone for Siegfried.
The white-haired man remained vigilant, never relaxing, as these blue creatures exhibited extremely dangerous traits. They would suddenly vanish in a burst of blue light and reappear elsewhere, launching attacks.
Though Siegfried had dispatched some Quantum Shadows with the Cleaver of Shamash, he knew their attacks could severely injure him if landed.
After all, Quantum Shadows and Honkai Beasts were engaged in fierce battles. Siegfried and the Honkai Beasts were "old friends," and by observing Honkai Beasts' injuries, he could roughly gauge the Quantum Shadows' attack power.
Siegfried took a deep breath, hands tightly gripping the hilt of the Cleaver of Shamash, flames swirling around the increasingly bright blade, pointing toward the ground where a small crack had opened.
His actions drew the attention of all monsters. Most Honkai Beasts turned, rushing toward Siegfried, while the blue Quantum Shadows intercepted Honkai Beasts trying to rescue them, seemingly aiding him.
"How interesting..."
Seeing this scene, Siegfried didn't rush. A smirk played on his lips as he restrained his power, leisurely planting the greatsword into the ground, watching the Honkai Beasts and blue creatures engage in fierce battles.
He glanced at the crack he had created earlier, as if the shattered mirror was gradually healing. The process was slow, and he could afford to wait a while longer before delivering another blow.
"Fight, fight. Let's see who's more anxious."
With Siegfried's gesture, both the Honkai Beasts and Quantum Shadows grew restless, and even someone lurking in the shadows became agitated.
"Are you sure, Bunny Girl?"
Siegfried looked at the pink-haired masked girl seriously, along with her long, slender ears waving above her head.
"Sure. I believe in Dr. Mobius's judgment." The pink-haired masked girl adjusted her communicator on her shoulder, the blinking light indicating she seemed to have team support behind her.
"...I'm not Mei, don't ask me how I see!"
Hearing the somewhat chaotic voices from the communicator, the pink-haired girl felt a bit embarrassed, shaking her ears and adding, "And... these aren't bunny ears; they're more like fox ears."
Doctor? And support from a doctor?
Siegfried blinked, pointing to the various monsters nearby. "Since that's the case, could you please help me clear the monsters around here? After all, it would be better not to be disturbed if I want the attack to go smoothly, right?"
"Sure."
The pink-haired girl nodded. As she took a few steps forward, her communicator lit up. Tilting her head to listen for a moment, she turned to Siegfried and said, "Someone is coming here, maybe someone you know."
Someone I know?
Siegfried couldn't recall anyone from this place...
Ah...
"Boom!"
A golden sphere flew from the distance, attracting the monsters around it like a black hole, lifting them from the ground and tearing them apart in mid-air. In just a few seconds, a considerable number of monsters were annihilated.
The pink-haired girl stood tall in the fierce wind, unaffected by the suction force. She even effortlessly chopped the monsters flying around her into pieces as they passed by.
"Cecilia, stick close!"
"Old man! We're here to save you!"
Siegfried watched as two white figures dashed out from around the corner of the street and couldn't help but shout, "Why are you here?!"
It was Cecilia (Luo Lin) and Kiana!
The golden hairpin on Luo Lin's head seemed slightly dim as she held Mimicry: Abyss Flower, disintegrating all the monsters blocking her path into fine black dust. At the same time, she remotely projected the "Power of Creation" onto Siegfried's body, instantly rejuvenating the somewhat exhausted man, allowing him to continue fighting.
Meanwhile, Kiana wielded her twin pistols, closely following behind Luo Lin, helping the Valkyrie deal with the surrounding monsters鈥攕he swiftly kicked away a Honkai Beast attempting to ambush and effortlessly shattered its core with a single shot.
After a period of getting used to each other, they had become quite the effective duo.
Soon, Luo Lin and Kiana arrived by Siegfried's side, and the pink-haired masked girl didn't stop them, simply diligently eliminating the monsters around.
The scent of gunpowder lingered around Kiana, and she threw herself into Siegfried's arms.
"Old man! I've been looking for you for so long!"
"...How did you get in?"
"Uh, I'm not sure, maybe mom knows."
Siegfried absentmindedly rubbed her head, his intuition telling him that in this strange world, Kiana Kaslana was indeed real.
"Cec...Cecilia..."
He turned his pleading gaze to the white-haired Valkyrie.
Luo Lin pretended not to see the man's gaze. She lightly tapped the white furball's butt with Abyss Flower, reprimanding, "Kiana, we're still in a battle."
"Hehe."
Kiana immediately jumped out of Siegfried's embrace, spinning her pistols around. "I know, Mom. The situation isn't that urgent yet. Let me be a little willful. After all, that pretty lady is helping us, isn't she?"
"...After analysis, helping you has a higher probability of getting aid from this warrior."
The pink-haired masked girl's voice sounded clearly, making Siegfried awkwardly smile.
"Alright, you're right..."
The white-haired man took a deep breath, gathering his strength once more, aiming at the crack.
"Boom!"
A louder shattering sound spread across the entire city. Honkai Beasts and Quantum Shadows roared in unison, expressing indescribable feelings.
Under the attack of the Cleaver of Shamash, the ground shattered, and everyone and everything in the vicinity fell into bewilderment.
Luo Lin watched the space blasted open, within the dim red, as if something was slowly opening its eyes in the dark and it spoke;
"Who...am...I...?"
