章節 89: Chapter 89: Awakening of the Second Herrscher
Actually, Kiana also wanted to play Bronie's new game, Bloodborne. But looking at its dark style and the familiar painful gameplay, Kiana, who had few memories in her short life, suddenly recalled a very bad memory that had occupied her life up to now:
Elden Ring!
Children might react quickly, but when playing soul-type games, many things are not easily understood by them, so the positive feedback experienced while playing games is few and far between for them.
Thrilling visceral attacks? Exciting and thrilling encounters with enemies?
Sorry, Kiana didn't really understand these, so she usually just played Mario or Kirby to pass the time.
Of course, if she really wanted to explore the game's storyline, Kiana could always watch Welt's livestream. His analysis was always top-notch.
Or she could play with Siegfried and watch him suffer while she stood by.
Welt didn't save the little girl, how could Siegfried endure this?
Since the path to the small church was impassable, why not go to the clinic instead? After having this thought, Siegfried finally heard the information he wanted at the Iosefka Clinic.
The little girl successfully reached the clinic without encountering any danger along the way, but it was strange that Dr. Iosefka refused to open the door no matter what. Although Kiana wanted to see what would happen next in the story, the increasing frequency of Honkai events in the outside world meant that Siegfried's return home was getting later and later every day.
If it weren't for Elysia teaching her how to cook via the internet and Miss Cioara's presence, Kiana would probably be living only one meal per day.
To be honest, with life like this, Kiana had no complaints at all. After all, Siegfried was the great hero who saved everyone from Honkai Beasts. Every time he went out, he went to hunt Honkai Beasts, just like the hunters in Bloodborne.
Kiana actually wanted to help, but every time she suggested it, Siegfried just smiled, patted her head, and said she was still too young and not suitable for battle. There was nothing she could do but wait at home quietly.
Kiana was also very curious about the continuation of the story, so she decided to visit the Iosefka Clinic to see how the little girl was doing.
She opened the game, familiarizing herself with the controls, and then practiced gun parrying with Brick Brother again.
To be honest, when Kiana saw the gun parrying option, she thought it was quite cool.
Could this be applied in Kaslana's gun combat skills?
When Kiana asked this question, Siegfried briefly pondered and explained the principle of gun parrying.
During combat, both parties are in a state of tension, like a spring being stretched and released continuously. When about to strike, the tension reaches its limit, and a unexpected attack at this moment causes the opponent's tension to break, resulting in a stun effect similar to gun reversal.
Would Honkai Beasts fall for such a sneak attack?
No, Siegfried even said that Honkai Beasts don't feel pain, so no matter what kind of attack is used, they won't give up attacking ordinary people.
Therefore, in actual combat, perhaps only when facing Herrschers or intelligent individuals would there be a chance to use this move.
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, so it's definitely more difficult to seize this opportunity accurately than in the game.
Originally, when watching videos, Kiana didn't feel how difficult it was, but when she actually tried it, the cumbersome feeling, the need to constantly focus on the stamina bar, and the relentless attacks of the monsters made it challenging.
After half an hour, Kiana put down the controller again and stopped playing.
"Forget it, I'll just watch videos instead..."
Mainly, she wanted to know what kind of story Bloodborne told.
The game had been released for several days, and with the base of Elden Ring, broadcasters were eager to release strategy videos as soon as possible.
Kiana originally intended to accompany Siegfried to watch the entire story of Bloodborne together.
But now, Siegfried wouldn't be able to come back to play games with her for a while.
What should she do? Of course, she would look for strategy videos online!
The broadcasting industry was developing rapidly, and naturally, the video industry was also thriving.
Many game enthusiasts participated, and starting from Elden Ring, even scholars couldn't find anything to dig, so they naturally dived into Bloodborne.
As for Elysia and Eden, they seemed to be playing that game too.
However, every time they met, Elysia would complain that Bronie didn't contact her much.
She said she would get revenge next time they met. Kiana didn't really understand.
She closed the game, opened a video, and found a lot of discussions online, all about how to save the little girl.
How to save her?
Why? Could it be that the Iosefka Clinic was also very dangerous?
Kiana suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly clicked on a video to find out the continuation of the plot.
Then, a simple and easy-to-understand single branch video appeared in front of Kiana.
After passing through a forest map, you could enter the Iosefka Clinic from the back door.
Inside the Iosefka Clinic, there were some sluggish Big Headed monsters roaming around.
After defeating them, they would drop some special items. Some were sedatives, and some were special cocktails
Under the barrage of explanations, Kiana finally understood why the Iosefka Clinic couldn't bring redemption to the little girl.
It was because at some point, Iosefka appeared to have been transformed into those monsters as well.
The fake Iosefka pretended to shelter survivors but turned all the residents who came to take refuge into monsters!
This left Kiana at a loss.
Who knew why such a plot would happen?
Were there no good people left in Yharnam?
Watching this terrible plot, Kiana closed her computer with frustration and didn't want to touch the game for a while. She looked up at the time.
Her stomach was rumbling, but Siegfried still hadn't come back.
Could something have happened to him? Kiana went to her bed and took out the gun Siegfried said he would use for self-defense.
Looking at the gun, she could vaguely see the inscription on it.
"May the moonlight protect you, Kiana. Love from Siegfried, Cecilia, and Theresa."
Through the process of learning to read later on, Kiana learned about this thing.
She knew Siegfried, but she didn't recognize the other names at all.
Every time Kiana took out this gun, although Siegfried's expression wasn't very obvious, she could still see sadness in it.
So she held back the question that was on the tip of her tongue.
At this point, she couldn't care about so much anymore!
Did something happen to her dad outside?
Kiana believed that she had already mastered gun combat skills, and as for Honkai Beasts and the like outside, she could probably deal with them very easily.
So she took the small gun, her only reliance against Honkai Beasts, and left the house she had stayed in for several years.
Outside, snow was falling heavily. Compared to other places, Siberia's winter was particularly long.
Maybe the temperature had warmed up slightly, but for the towns nearby, winter was only halfway over.
As for how to find Siegfried outside?
This brings up Kiana's phone problem. Kiana didn't know where Siegfried got a phone from, but it had the ability to locate each other.
And if Honkai broke out nearby, the phone would alert and accurately locate where the Honkai occurred.
With this thing, Kiana could find Siegfried's location at any time.
But seeing that Siegfried had been staying in one place without moving, Kiana became worried.
With small steps, Kiana set off.
The gun in her hand was her only reliance against Honkai Beasts. Leaving the town, she left a long trail on the snow-covered road.
In the distance, Cioara put down her binoculars and asked Bronie beside her, "Why did this child leave home without a word?
With Honkai happening so frequently recently, if it weren't for Siegfried, I'm afraid this town would have been destroyed long ago.
"Why did she go out! Hasn't Siegfried explained the seriousness of the situation to her?"
"That guy Siegfried probably completely forgot. He wants to bear everything on his own and not let Kiana worry, so he never said anything. I've already checked the situation near the town, and there are no traces of artificially releasing Honkai energy. This time, it's probably difficult to avoid a Honkai Outbreak from happening."
The World Serpent also has its own system for detecting Honkai, and when there are frequent outbreaks of Honkai energy nearby, warnings will come, prompting Bronie through the informant Ash Serpent.
Bronie immediately put down her work and handed over the care of the children in the orphanage to Aunt Alona in the orphanage before rushing over here.
"What should we do? If Kiana walks all the way there, who knows if she will encounter Honkai Beasts? Should we still hide ourselves?"
"Do you see any intention of hiding in my actions? There have been large-scale Valkyrie movements in Schicksal recently, and it is said that a Valkyrie suicide squad has also arrived."
"Ah? Does Schicksal still have such a thing?"
"To put it nicely, they're the Valkyrie Assault Team, with a good reputation, but all the Valkyries inside gained their combat power through heavy brute force. It's difficult even for them to face an Emperor-level Honkai Beast; they're just a pure cannon fodder team."
"But... their reputation is good because they dare to charge recklessly?"
"Yes, they've all come nearby, so Schicksal must have noticed."
Upon hearing this news, Cioara suddenly felt very weary.
The situation became more complicated.
And Bronie appears to have her own plans.
"You better give me a clear answer, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Deal with the hidden dangers of the Herrscher core inside Kiana's body."
"How do you plan to do that?"
"Knock her out, scold her, or wait until I can project Fenghuang Down, then directly deliver a mental blow."
"When? Your plan is completely unplanned!"
"The plan is to delay, try not to let Sirin reappear, prevent unnecessary harm to human civilization, and wait for Kiana to grow up enough to suppress Sirin. Then, I'll take her to the Elysian Realm to see the world, or maybe even get Elysia out?"
It remains to be seen how Kevin, who's been soaking in the sea, will react when he comes out and sees the empty Elysian Realm, crying and throwing a tantrum, rolling around in anger.
"So, is this your entire plan? What makes you think you can defeat a Herrscher? Especially the Herrscher of the Void."
Cioara was still clear in her mind about the combat power of a Herrscher.
It's absolutely impossible for a single individual to defeat one.
"Just because I'm taller than Kiana now, she doesn't know much, and the gap between Honkai and the data for the Second Honkai is too far apart. In short, don't worry, when has Haxxor Bunny ever messed up?"
Having not seen Haxxor Bunny in action much, Cioara wasn't too confident in Bronie's true strength.
But she vaguely heard some rumors from Eden in the Elysian Realm, like sneaking in to fight Kalpas, or monsters within the Elysian Realm whose data didn't exist in her memories.
It was said they were quite powerful.
...
Following Kiana's figure from a distance, Cioara traversed through the forest and snow, the vast white landscape turning Kiana's hair into a natural camouflage.
If one were to be distracted, they might lose sight of Kiana altogether.
Watching Kiana's cheerful steps, Cioara knew that Kiana probably hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet.
She had wanted to stop Kiana, but was stopped by Bronie.
After all, this journey of Kiana's was destined not to be ordinary.
Bronie projected a screen, constantly monitoring the intelligence infiltrated from Schicksal. There were no signs of significant Honkai Beast activity along the way, but the concentration of Honkai energy was indeed increasing.
And Kiana is heading towards areas with denser Honkai energy.
It was like a stick of incense plunging into oxygen, making Cioara feel a little uneasy.
"There's a Templar Honkai Beast! Kiana is in danger!"
Cioara's eyes were sharp, immediately sensing the movement of the Honkai Beast.
She wanted to intervene, but Bronie still held onto the hem of her dress.
"Patience. If there's a problem, I'll step in first. Kiana won't be in danger."
"But..."
"This is part of the plan."
Cioara felt somewhat discouraged.
"I hope everything is really within your control!"
Kiana also sensed the presence of the Templar Honkai Beast.
As she raised her gun, the Templar Honkai Beast also sensed her presence!
The two stared at each other, the Templar Honkai Beast holding its shield, slowly approaching Kiana with a spear in hand.
In her panic, Kiana attempted to attack with her handgun, but the bullets hit the thick shield, seemingly having little effect!
Kiana started to panic.
Are all Honkai Beasts this terrifying...
The Templar Honkai Beast approached even closer, raising the spear in its hand, the tip of which was condensed with Honkai energy, aiming to completely obliterate the girl before it!
Just as the situation reached a critical point, Siegfried rushed over to Kiana!
With the strength from the ICHOR, he rushed like lightning, holding the rushing tip of the Templar spear with his arm.
Gash
"Dad!!!"
A portion of the tip pierced Siegfried's hand.
Siegfried must admit, he was careless.
When he sensed Kiana coming towards him with a phone in her hand, he felt something was amiss.
He had planned to rest and deal with the Templar Honkai Beast slowly after resting, so he intentionally didn't use the Honkai energy hidden within him, hence he was slightly slower.
But he didn't expect to inadvertently lure Kiana out!
"Stay away from me, daughter, get back!"
Because he couldn't let Kiana get hurt at all, Siegfried still used that power.
His arm, strengthened with monstrous strength, firmly grasped the Templar Honkai Beast's weapon, but the blood dripping from the piercing wound made Kiana's heart sink with guilt.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... Dad..."
As Kiana cried, her eyed slowly turned from blue to dull gold.
".....And then, hypocritical humans, your doomsday has arrived!"
The Second Herrscher, awakens once more!
