Chapter 227

The game doesn't explain how the Stigmata Space is opened, nor is it mentioned in the lore. And even if it were, Li Pu would have almost forgotten about it.

They might not even have looked at it.

After all, he started playing this game for the thrill and the pleasure of licking.

As for the character settings, backgrounds, and scene settings, those are all irrelevant. Even during the loading animation, he chooses to skip it and just stares blankly at the download screen.

He watched many character PVs and scene animations on the Xiabuxiabu website.

So...

What to do in this awkward situation?

Li Pu looked utterly bewildered. He suddenly realized that he had prepared and worked on everything, at least almost everything was done, but when it came time to lead the way, he discovered he had forgotten his key.

What... what should we do?

"Well," Li Pu said, concealing his embarrassment and feigning complete confidence, "Let's get to know Hi-Fyūmaru first."

In short, Hi-Fyūmaru must have a way.

Let's get Hi-Fyūmaru out first.

Li Pu had no way to continue making things up.

The moment the box was opened, black mist enveloped the three people.

I don't know if Hi-Fyūmaru has finally figured it out and is planning to give himself some special entrance effects to boost his prestige as the mid-game redemption boss, or if he thinks that with the arrival of a new character, he can act arrogantly.

In short, this time, Hi-Fyūmaru didn't transform into a giant fox and jump out like last time.

This time, he really did have a bit of the imposing aura of a BOSS at the start.

Mei became alert.

This wasn't her first real-world combat experience, nor was it her first time facing Honkai. But Honkai she was about to confront was unlike any she had faced before.

Herrscher!

What does it mean for Herrscher Mei Nature?

Herrscher are the pinnacle of combat power within the Honkai system. Each Honkai event signifies a massive catastrophe. Herrscher represent destruction and calamity, and for Mei, it also means the emergence of thousands upon thousands of Honkai Beasts.

She believed Theresa was amazing, and she also believed Li Pu was amazing.

But now there are only three people facing one Herrscher and possibly thousands or tens of thousands of Honkai Beasts.

Mei was still nervous.

Li Pu noticed Mei's nervousness and gently pressed on Mei's shoulder.

This is probably the first time, the first time I've had such close contact with Mei in my own name.

Although it was just his own opinion, Li Pu was still a little excited.

However, this slight excitement quickly faded.

Now is not the time to try to be clever.

Hi-Fyūmaru has been released. Although she can return to the box, it's clear she won't go back willingly. From now until entering the Stigmata Space, and finally exiting Stigmata Space...

If any serious flaw occurs in any place.

Those could all lead to utter ruin.

Although Li Pu believed that the inertia of history made it unlikely that he would die a very terrible death.

But history also loves to play tricks on people.

What if history plays a joke on him?

Wouldn't that mean I'm doomed?!

"Don't be too scared," Li Pu tried his best to reassure her. "This guy isn't very strong, so there's no need to worry about him. I can beat him up like it's nothing."

"Simple, easy, every~every~Easy."

"Hmph!" A disgruntled voice came from the darkness, sounding somewhat sullen, "I was only hit by you because I was careless. You have no sportsmanship at all."

"To launch a sneak attack right from the start, what a despicable bastard."

"This time they actually brought two burdens with them."

"Oh? One of them looks quite interesting."

"This time!"

"Eat my Curry Stick!"

Before the fox could finish speaking, it heard a loud roar.

"Eh!!!!"

"You bastard, have some sportsmanship!"

The fox grew anxious.

She saw a golden light that ruined the boss-like aura it had painstakingly created.

This...

This feels like getting beaten up!

Chapter 259 What Space

Your mom hit you with a spark, a double flash.

Saber is not afraid of the big fox Hi-Fyūmaru.

According to the lore, this giant fox seems to be quite powerful in combat; for example, it could inflict serious damage on Simulated Herrscher with a single bite. It certainly looks very strong.

However, after actually fighting the fox Saber discovered that it wasn't as strong as he had thought.

I don't know why it was nerfed or if Mihoyo is just a fox-like shill.

Anyway, after World War I, Saber realized that beating the fox was still a piece of cake for him.

The fox's appearance this time looked impressive, but so what?

He unleashed a barrage of attacks, hacking and slashing.

Then...

That's all.

Um...

Actually, I feel like this is a big deal!

A series of bizarre maneuvers seemed to have given the fox a beating, but also seemed to have given the fox an opportunity for a desperate counterattack. Anyway, after the darkness dissipated, Saber, Theresa, and Mei experienced an extreme airdrop without a parachute.

Fortunately, the Valkyrie are not afraid of this.

He was just knocked unconscious by a sudden thud.

Yes, like that kind of thing, whoosh~ ah~ snap~ and then it's gone.

It feels extremely unscientific.

Even though I had experience skydiving without a parachute before, I still fell and passed out.

When I finally woke up...

"Ugh~ My head hurts... I actually landed face down..." Saber covered his face and muttered, "That Hi-Fyūmaru is really something else. He criticizes others for not having martial ethics, but he doesn't have any martial ethics himself."

"What is this? If you can't beat someone, you throw them into the air?"

"It's really illogical that he actually fainted from the fall this time."

That's so embarrassing! It's so illogical; he actually landed face-first. He's already had this experience before, yet he still made such a basic mistake. As the main character, shouldn't he leave the group? Hopefully, no one saw this.

If no one sees it, then it's not embarrassing, right?

"But this place looks strangely familiar."

Through the gaps between his fingers Saber saw the solid wood ceiling he could see. It looked familiar; he seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

And it seems like it happened more than once.

After thinking for a while, the Saber combined what he was seeing with a place in his memory.

"Yae Shrine in Yae Village?!"

"Saber exclaimed inwardly."

Yes, it's the Yae Shrine in Yae Village, the place where Li Pu lived for a long time. Although it can only be considered a special dream.

But that dream left a very deep impression on her.

This is Yae Shrine in Yae Village.

It's also the room I always lived in during my dreams.

So, looking at this situation...

'The Stigmata Space has been opened?'

The Saber was a little surprised.

This started rather unexpectedly.

"You look like you're awake."

Saber could even get up, he heard someone's voice.

This looks very familiar; it must be one of the main characters.

Put your hands down and sit up.

I tilted my head and glanced at it, and I saw that familiar figure.

Yae Sakura without a soul.

Hmm, it has no ears.

'Something... is not quite right?' Saber looked at Yae Sakura's face. Although the two faces, one in the dream and the other now, clearly belonged to the same person, this same face gave Saber the feeling that they were two different people.

If the Yae Sakura I saw in my dream seemed to be a tool in some ways...

The Yae Sakura I see now looks more like a 'person'.

Rather than a 'tool'.

She seemed to have a richer emotional life, and her face wasn't always expressionless and devoid of any inner turmoil. There was a hint of a smile and genuine concern in her.

There was also some anxiety and tension deep in his eyes.

This is the first time I've ever seen Yae Sakura, the Saber, so emotionally rich.

"Plum..."

"Artoria Pendragon." Saber originally wanted to say the name 'Li Pu', but then she remembered that she was still in Saber's appearance.

He then changed his tune and introduced himself using the name of the Saber), saying, "Did you bring me here?"

"My name is Yae Sakura." Yae Sakura was slightly surprised.

This person looks a bit strange.

She wasn't flustered at all, nor did she do anything strange, nor did she ask any questions. She seemed very calm, and through her eyes, Yae Sakura felt as if this person knew her.

# []

Know yourself?

Why?

How did she come to know herself?

A whole host of questions popped into Yae Sakura's mind, but she didn't ask them. She said, "I heard from the villagers that stars fell from the sky."

"Let me go over and see what's going on."

"Oh~" Saber probably knew what was going to happen next and said, "So, you didn't notice the falling star."
