Someone in Honkai, This Narration is Off / Honkai Scroll Dog Path Chapter 40

However, the former and the latter are completely different in terms of the combatants.

Siegfried, despite his dislike for Schicksal, held back against me. He's a hero on humanity's side.

As for Sirin... Sirin saw me, a human, and just wanted to kill me on the spot.

If I go help Siegfried now, it'll still be dangerous, but there's a sliver of a chance.

If Siegfried really dies and the Herrscher of Thunder comes after me, then I'll truly be dead.

As for how I'll help Siegfried... HSN Serum.

This stuff is certified genuine by the system. As long as I inject it into Mei's body, even if it can't directly cripple the Herrscher of Thunder's power, it can suppress her Honkai Energy.

At that point, Siegfried's chances of winning the battle will be very high.

"Senior! The Honkai Energy is coming closer!"

"Ah, I know."

Lin Yu said this to Kiana after getting out of the vehicle.

"Leave the motorcycle to me. Now, run into the city without looking back."

"Eh??????"

Seeing Lin Yu's determined expression, Kiana let out a startled shout.

"Didn't you say this was a large-scale Honkai event, as terrifying as the Second Honkai Eruption?"

"Senior, are you really..."

"Throwing your life away?!"

"Throwing my life away? Ha, how could I."

To force himself to calmly charge forward, Lin Yu, after activating Mirror Mind, turned back and said to Kiana.

"Don't worry, Kiana."

"I'm a member of Schicksal. When it comes to fighting Honkai..."

"I'm not an amateur, I'm a professional."

"I'm not an amateur, I'm a professional."

As he said this, Lin Yu actually felt...

terrified.

It was absurd.

Even though he had used Mirror Mind, the fear from the depths of his heart still made his body tremble almost instinctively.

But facing the calm Lin Yu, Kiana couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"A professional?"

Looking at Lin Yu before her, Kiana was no longer as polite as before. She poked his body with her hand.

"With no muscles on you like this, aren't you just going to your death if you charge in?"

"Now that I think about it, that move you used to shatter the floor in one hit—you can't use it often, right?"

"Otherwise, why didn't you just use that move to intimidate me from the start? Why did you have to parry for so long?"

... Damn, this kid's brain is getting faster and faster.

"See? You've admitted it."

Kiana said indignantly, looking at Lin Yu.

"And even if you can use that move, you'll still be finished if you encounter a large number of Honkai Beasts and Meele."

"I've fought Honkai Beasts before, I know how difficult they are to deal with. Senior, you..."

"I don't plan to go head-to-head with them."

At this moment, Lin Yu forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and maintained his composure as he spoke to Kiana.

"I have an ace up my sleeve against Honkai, and this ace can even take down the highest-class Honkai apostle, the Herrscher."

"But that doesn't stop you from acting with me. Why do you want me to go alone..."

"I don't have time for your nonsense right now!"

At this moment, Lin Yu grabbed Kiana by the collar and said with a ferocious expression.

"Do I have to spell it out for you? It's much more convenient for me to act alone. You'll just be a burden if you come with me."

"Our organization discovered that Honkai would break out here, and they'll come this way sooner or later. By then, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"

"If I can't leave, then I won't..."

Before Kiana could finish, she felt Lin Yu's fist about to hit her face.

If she hadn't sensed Lin Yu's movement with her instincts and evaded at the fastest speed, Kiana felt she would have definitely gotten a nosebleed from that punch.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Looking at Lin Yu, who had already adopted a fighting stance, Kiana said a little aggrievedly.

"This young lady was just..."

"Get lost."

"If you don't get lost, I'll knock you out and leave you here."

"I already said, I don't have time to waste on these things right now. If you really care about me..."

"—Then don't make things difficult for me!"

Seeing Lin Yu's grim expression, Kiana finally realized that the aura emanating from him was constantly rising.

He was serious.

Whether it was deciding to go to the battlefield alone or wanting her to survive safely, Lin Yu was serious.

"...I understand."

Kiana, now mounted on her motorcycle, put her helmet back on and glanced back at Lin Yu.

"Senior, don't die, okay?"

"Ah, I got it."

Watching Kiana leave, Lin Yu let out a deep sigh of stale air.

He now realized that he was still too naive.

While making his decision, Lin Yu thought he could suppress his emotions with Mirror Mind and use reason to drive his actions.

But now, after confirming Kiana was gone, Lin Yu took out the third motorcycle he had prepared from his storage space.

Just the act of mounting the motorcycle made Lin Yu feel his body tremble.

Mirror Mind was a state of mind that the Gundam Fighter [King of Hearts] Domon Kasshu realized only in desperate situations.

Before that, he had experienced his father being executed, his mother's death, his elder brother becoming a fugitive, and his master's betrayal.

Tormented by these experiences, Domon Kasshu, a master of martial arts, finally fully grasped the state of mind known as Mirror Mind.

And Lin Yu?

Perhaps compared to the King of Hearts, he only seemed to be missing a brother.

But in reality, there were too many differences between them.

Compared to Domon, Lin Yu, who was an orphan from the start, had never felt familial affection from others, nor had he harbored any towards them.

Not having this familial affection from the beginning was sometimes much luckier than having it and then losing it all.

His skills were given by the system.

With his state of mind not up to par, at the brink of life and death, he could only rely on this skill to suppress his fear.

Now, let alone mastering this skill completely, even maintaining it was extremely difficult.

"Tch... What am I even afraid of."

That's right, there was no need to be afraid.

With Kevin not out yet, Su still peeking, and Fu Hua at low health, Siegfried was undoubtedly the strongest person in the world.

Even though he had lost an arm, the tragic experiences of so many years had not only brought him sorrow and pain but had also honed his combat skills and state of mind.

In terms of physical performance, Siegfried had indeed weakened.

But in terms of state of mind and technique, Siegfried was definitely stronger than he was fourteen years ago.

In his current state, as long as he could consume the Herrscher of Thunder's power, he had a chance to deal with the Herrscher of Thunder using the HSN Serum.

So now...

Looking at the Honkai Energy still spreading ahead, Lin Yu took out the HSN Serum and injected it directly into his body.

Drawing 20% of the serum to counter the spreading Honkai Energy should be enough.

The remaining eighty percent would be used as a trump card.

After injecting 20% of the HSN Serum, Lin Yu felt that his physical functions had not decreased at all.

Come to think of it, it made sense. The HSN Serum was developed by Dr. Mags after his granddaughter died, to turn Valkyries back into ordinary humans.

For Lin Yu, who had no Honkai Energy in his body, this was purely a Honkai Energy shield.

At least for now, the HSN Serum had few negative effects on Lin Yu.

And at the moment he completed his preliminary actions, he heard the system's voice again.

[After forcefully sending away that not-so-cute junior, you know your opportunity has arrived.]

Wow, what opportunity, an opportunity to court death?

[Ultimately, there are only a few things people pursue in life. You know deep down that the system in your hand is unreliable, so you decide—to forge your own path.]

...No, it's not that extreme.

Aside from your narration, which is pretty troll-ish, you're actually quite reliable.

"To obtain what you desire, you must achieve accomplishments worthy of your ambitions."

"Go forth, host! Offer the Herrscher of Thunder, Siegfried Kaslana, and the Flame-Chaser's Judgment in his hand as sacrifices! Only then—"

Let's skip that part.

Siegfried held back during our duel. Going in to pick off the scraps now, and taking him down with it...

I'm no saint, but I can't get past that.

"Can't get past it? As you say that, you immediately let out a cold laugh."

"Yes, that's exactly what should be done. A living Siegfried is far more useful. If you were to take down Siegfried, causing an accident, K423 might still go berserk."

Alright, enough nonsense.

"See, this system told you—you basically never listen to what this system says anyway, so it's fine for this system to just spout nonsense, right?"

Yeah.

Ultimately, I'm the only one who can decide my path forward.

Gazing at the Honkai Beasts appearing ahead, Lin Yu forced himself to calm down and immediately pushed his motorcycle to its maximum speed in the shortest possible time.

But something's a little strange.

Most of them are Strikers and Knights, and they're all small.

If I didn't know the story, I'd think this wasn't the Third Honkai Outbreak with a Herrscher awakening at all.

Did I miss some detail, or perhaps
