Chương 10: Chapter 10: Possession and the continuous accumulation of experience
The cherry-colored girl frowned slightly.
In terms of combat skills and experience, she thought she should be much better than the human in front of her.
No, that's not right... Don't judge...
She had just escaped from the seal and knew nothing about the world five hundred years later. She had always lived in a remote little place called Yae Village and knew almost nothing about the forces of the outside world.
Perhaps the human in front of her was a warrior from a certain organization—after all, ordinary people would not appear in such a devastating scene.
As for the outside organizations she knew about...
The only one was the Schicksal Organization to which her former best friend, Kallen Kaslana, originally belonged, an organization located quite far away from the Far East.
'Five hundred years have passed. I wonder if that Destiny Organization still exists?'
As for Kallen, she was just an ordinary human being without a long lifespan. She should have already ceased to exist.
"Human, what is your reason?"
The girl inquired.
"The person who became the Herrscher inside is someone I know. I think I have a way to save her, so I hope to take control of the body into my own hands."
Kirataka explained.
Even if he gave control of his body to Yae Sakura, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat the Third Herrscher head-on.
There is a huge gap between a pseudo-Herscher and a real Herscher. Recall that the several pseudo-Herrschers created by the Herscher of the Void, Sirin, divided her power and were easily defeated by the real strong ones.
Probably, she is only stronger than an A-class Valkyrie, but inferior to an S-class Valkyrie.
Instead of fighting head-on, it is better to rely on your own backtracking ability to find a way to break through the endgame.
"...Okay, but if it's necessary at the critical moment, I will take control of your body."
Yae Sakura nodded and agreed.
Although she did intend to defeat the Herrscher at first, Kirataka's words reminded her of Kallen, who had awakened her.
If possible, she also hopes to save a lost girl.
Before possessing the body, she asked abruptly:
"By the way, human, do you know Schicksal?"
"Um?"
Kirataka raised his eyebrows slightly and replied immediately:
"Of course, I know. This is the largest organization in the world that fights Honkai."
'The world's largest...'
Yae Sakura seemed to be thinking about something thoughtfully.
Kirataka guessed that she wanted to know about Kallen, so he said:
"There is also a branch of Schicksal in the Far East now. If you want to learn something, you can go there later."
Speaking of which, as an artificial human, Theresa has Kallen's blood flowing in her body, so she has some connection with Yae Sakura.
"So...are you from Schicksal?"
The cherry-colored girl nodded and continued to ask.
It seems that the other party does have some understanding of this era.
"Not yet, but maybe later on."
Kirataka said with a low laugh.
If he could follow the three great families and naturally infiltrate the Far East branch of St. Freya Academy, then he would certainly be considered a member of the Schicksal in the future.
This is also the reason why he wants to intervene in the events of Chiba Academy and face the Third Herrscher.
If you want to continue to become stronger, you have to join one of the three major organizations.
After reaching a consensus, Yae Sakura began to depend on him.
In fact, she still had many detailed questions about Schicksal that she wanted to ask, but for now, she had to prioritize the affairs of the Herrscher.
As if possessed by a ghost, the girl's already somewhat illusory figure disappeared and turned into particles of light that fell into his body.
At the same time, Kirataka felt a warm current flowing into his body, bringing abundant Honkai energy and... a slight pain.
If it were him before, this level of Honkai energy injection would have been enough to cause the Honkai energy lines all over his body to surge, turning him into a dead warrior.
But now... he can barely withstand Yae Sakura's power.
"…This is also my first time trying this, human. It might be painful."
No longer from the outside in, Yae Sakura's voice rang directly in his mind.
"It's not a big problem."
Kirataka answered casually.
Compared to the pain of death that he had experienced many times before, this level of pain did not cause any trouble at all.
"…By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."
"Just call me Kirataka."
......
In the worldview of Honkai, the most basic factor that determines a person's combat capability and the resistance to Honkai energy.
Among them, the warriors of the Kaslana family are the representatives.
——The Kaslana family, which inherited the genes of Kevin, the strongest warrior of the previous civilization, has the strongest resistance to Honkai energy, thus ensuring that powerful warriors will appear in every generation of the family.
Whether it's Kallen or Siegfried, they are both geniuses who are born with extremely strong resistance to Honkai energy.
The stigmata created by Mobius and the artificial stigmata that modern scientists have been researching are essentially attempts to enhance humanity's overall resistance to Honkai and to improve the Valkyries' ability to fight Honkai.
Because of Sora's previous experience, Kirataka's resistance to Honkai energy has been improved to a certain extent, which means he has the foundation to become stronger. So what he lacks next is combat experience.
As a transmigrator who used to live in a peaceful world, he had never killed anyone, let alone chickens or pigs.
But here he was, having experienced repeated deaths and having witnessed the deaths of countless others, he had become somewhat numb to it.
All he had to do next was to raise the sword in his hand and take the lives of those monsters. He thought he could still do it.
After all...it's not murder.
With the influx of Yae Sakura's power, Kirataka felt his body becoming lighter and his limbs stronger than ever before.
A place that used to require a jog to reach now seems to be reachable in the next moment with just a thought.
The several-story building next to him seemed like he could easily jump up.
In addition to the obvious enhancement in physical strength, some fragments of Yae Sakura's memories also flowed into Kirataka's body.
The moment when she was forced by her father, the Lord of the Gods, to kill Yae Rin with a sword on the night of the festival...
Ignoring the villagers' painful struggles, the scene of controlling the Honkai beasts to slaughter them...
The scene of her fighting with Kallen and seriously injuring her...
Resentment, anger, despair, unwillingness, and pain.
Kirataka noticed that the memory fragments that flooded into his mind were not good pictures.
He originally thought that this was a side effect of Yae Sakura's possession, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Oh, is this your doing?"
Kirataka narrowed his eyes slightly, and he knew who was behind it.
However, the image of Higokumaru emerged on the lake of his heart.
The pitch-black fox was several times his size, with flames burning on its fur, and it stared at him with its blood-red eyes.
Although there was no way to interfere with Yae Sakura's decision, she believed she could still do something.
——She couldn't influence Yae Sakura, but could she not influence this ordinary human being?
While Yae Sakura was concentrating on the possession operation, she quietly transferred some negative emotions and memories into Kirataka's mind.
In her opinion, as long as these negative things were transmitted, it would at least affect his mind.
She hoped to achieve this result, to wear down the will to fight or to retreat when faced with difficulties.
——She really, really wanted to live.
However, Kirataka's expression remained very calm, as if these unnecessary memories had no effect on him at all.
After all, as an old captain, although he knew all the plots by heart, he already knew most of the stories in and out of the game.
"Human... who are you..."
Higokumaru said hesitantly.
"You'd better stop worrying about me. As for you, you should just give up resistance and let the black box turn you into the Divine Key."
Kirataka said casually.
"...!"
Higokumaru was suddenly startled, and the flames burning on the huge fox's body were paused.
How did this human know this?
Even today, the black box that the previous generation used to seal her still holds her tightly, restraining her, waiting to completely subdue her one day.
If she had not relied on her inner hatred and loathing to resist tenaciously for fifty thousand years, she would have been turned into a Divine Key weapon by the automated program on the black box, just like her other eleven "compatriots".
The Apostle of Honkai who destroyed civilization, in turn, became a sharp blade for humanity to fight against Honkai... She absolutely did not want to see such a thing.
But how did this human know this?
These things clearly happened 50,000 years ago, so how did he know about them?
Is he a human being who survived from previous civilizations to this era?
Higokumaru immediately denied this spontaneous thought.
——She had also hacked into the internal network system of the Fire Moth in the past. There was no such guy among the Thirteen Flame Chaser Heroes and other personnel.
If he wasn't from the pre-civilization, it would be even more bizarre for him to know about her.
You know, even Yae Sakura, who is now living and dying with her, doesn't know about the things that happened to her 50,000 years ago, so it is definitely not that this guy learned about it through Yae Sakura's memory.
The more Higokumaru thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and she gradually felt a little scared. She had only been bluffing, wanting to use her memories to scare this human named Kirataka and make him back down, but his calm reaction and these few words made her unable to see through his background.
Seeing that the situation was not good, she immediately decided to escape.
The giant fox roared fiercely, then disappeared and ran away.
"You run really fast..."
After sending Higokumaru away, Kirataka's consciousness returned to reality.
He reached out and touched the left side of his neck, where he could clearly feel some extra marks.
This is the symbol left on his body after Yae Sakura possessed him, a three-magatama pattern.
This can probably be considered a kind of Stigmata. Although in the gameplay the Stigmata seem to be implanted on the back of the Valkyrie, in fact, it is possible for them to appear anywhere on the body.
For example, Seele's stigmata is on her collarbone, and Mei's stigmata... well, if I remember correctly, it should be on her waist.
Of course, there are also Stigmata that do not have visible patterns. At least Kirataka believes that the Stigmata of Kaslana and Schariac definitely have no visible patterns.
Otherwise, a super stupid goose person who lost her childhood memories and grew up in Schicksal would not have failed to discover her bloodline and life experience for so many years.
About a minute later, Yae Sakura completely possessed him.
"Let's get started, Kirataka."
Yae Sakura's voice rang in his head.
"Well, let's work together to solve this Herrscher incident."
Kirataka nodded and started running towards Chiba Academy.
Originally, at this critical moment, there was no time to temporarily improve and accumulate his experience in this area, but...
In a sense, what he lacks the least now is the opportunity and time to try.
Now that the physical preparations are ready, as long as you continue to engage in personal battles, you can quickly accumulate combat experience.
This is also a use of time travel.
——Although it is impossible to bring back a well-trained body by going back in time, skills and experience can still be quickly accumulated in this way.
Control over the strengthened body can be mastered through repeated practice.
After all, he doesn't need to fear wounds or death.
If one is not enough, try ten times; if ten times are not enough, try a hundred times; if a hundred times are not enough, try a thousand times.
Although it would consume a lot of energy, it would indeed allow him to grow up in a very "short" period of time.
As Kirataka arrived at the entrance of Chiba Academy, the Honkai beasts, and zombies that were originally wandering around were attracted to him.
——The Honkai energy at the pseudo-Herrscher level is still quite attractive and conspicuous. For these Honkai beasts that follow their animal-like instincts, he is quite "dazzling".
Facing the Honkai beasts and zombies gathered at the gate of Chiba Academy, Kirataka condensed a katana in his hand.
[Spiritual Sword: Sakura Blizzard].
The real Sakura Fubuki had of course long since disappeared in the long river of history - although it was the ancestral spiritual sword of the Yae family, it was not a holy relic made by a previous civilization and was actually just an ordinary item that could not withstand the erosion of five hundred years.
The one in Kirataka's hand now was created through Honkai energy.
Whenever he holds the long sword in his hands, the memory of how to use it seems to come flooding back.
This is also the effect of being possessed by Yae Sakura.
"Anyway... let me try out the sword on you first."
These monsters are all his sparring partners.
Kirataka took a deep breath, pulled out Sakura Fubuki, and rushed into Chiba Academy.
