Someone in Honkai, Found a Kiana

Lin Nai, missing his kick, reined in his power, stepped onto the wall, and landed with a flip.

He turned, crossed his arms, and extended them to the sides, unleashing a white blade wave.

Horizontal Decapitation Blade!

Startled, Siegfried hastily dodged. The white energy blade whizzed past by a millimeter, severing a few strands of Siegfried's hair.

He was genuinely scared.

Did this kid come here with the intention of killing him?!

"Don't misunderstand, I have no intention of killing you," Lin Nai said with a smile, sensing Siegfried's thoughts.

After all, Siegfried's combat power was right there.

He'd gained two skills and an item fighting Welt, so he wondered what he'd get fighting someone with Siegfried's combat power.

Even though he knew Siegfried was forced into this, it didn't stop Lin Nai from venting Kiana's frustration.

Siegfried's lips twitched. It seemed he had to get serious. He hadn't expected to be beaten by this brat.

Siegfried took a deep breath and seriously sized up Lin Nai.

Lin Nai also became wary.

The two stood in a standoff.

Chapter 42: Flame Lance: Ready

Bang!!

After a few seconds of standoff, the two suddenly charged at each other.

Siegfried swung a whip kick.

Lin Nai didn't dodge, instead sidestepping to catch it.

Then, with a twist and a surge of power, he slammed Siegfried onto the ground!

Siegfried: ???

Why isn't this guy playing by the rules?

Shouldn't this be a back-and-forth, evenly matched fight?

Lin Nai: "Who's gonna understand that?"

"Good kid, you've got some real strength," Siegfried said, springing back to his feet.

He spun Heavenly Fire in his hand, aimed, and pulled the trigger!

As Lin Nai dodged Heavenly Fire's attack, Siegfried delivered a knee strike!

Bang!

Lin Nai was knocked back two steps.

Heavenly Fire fired more bullets, forcing Lin Nai to dodge repeatedly.

Siegfried used Heavenly Fire to restrict Lin Nai's movement, then seized the opening to attack.

Facing this situation, Lin Nai decisively leaped!

"Hah!"

Lin Nai jumped into the air, spun several times, and landed behind Siegfried.

With his back to Siegfried, he quickly hooked one arm around Siegfried's neck and reached for the man's pocket.

He then lifted Siegfried, threw him over his shoulder, and slammed him hard onto the ground!

Lin Nai had originally planned a flying kick, but he was curious about how Heavenly Fire felt to use.

Simply put.

He wanted to play with Heavenly Fire.

And so, Siegfried, who had just gotten up, was once again slammed onto the ground.

Siegfried, sprawled on the ground with his eyes shut, gasped, "Youngsters these days have no honor..."

Heavenly Fire even fell from his grasp...

Wait?

Heavenly Fire fell?!

Siegfried's expression changed. He looked up and saw Lin Nai holding one gun, with another at his feet.

It was Heavenly Fire Judgment!

"Hey! Lin Nai! That's not something you can just play with!" Siegfried's expression shifted as he scrambled to his feet.

Using that thing, especially in its greatsword mode, would cause problems.

But Lin Nai had already picked up the other gun from the ground.

[Random Item: Flame Herrscher Core]

That seems reasonable.

After all, Heavenly Fire Judgment was apparently made from the Flame Herrscher and Soul Steel.

"Alright, Siegfried, you've already..."

Snap—

Hiss—

Before Lin Nai could finish speaking, he was drawn in by the strange sounds suddenly emanating from Heavenly Fire.

"Hm?"

Siegfried also looked over curiously. In his memory, he had never seen Heavenly Fire act like this.

He saw the Herrscher core at the safety lock violently vibrating.

"Lin Nai! Drop that immediately!" Siegfried shouted.

He had only wanted to test Lin Nai's skill level.

A lesson was a lesson, but that didn't mean he wanted anything to happen to Lin Nai.

Lin Nai had been taking care of Kiana for the past year.

He had seen Kiana now, and she was very happy. She had friends and her face was always beaming with smiles every day.

So Siegfried needed to thank Lin Nai.

Not to mention, if something happened to Lin Nai, Kiana would know he was involved, and he wouldn't be able to explain it then.

Before Lin Nai could do as Siegfried said, Heavenly Fire was already thrown out of his hands.

The Herrscher cores at the safety locks of the twin guns connected, and the sword body was immediately generated from the complete Herrscher core!

Siegfried's pupils contracted. He was very familiar with that thing.

Heavenly Fire's greatsword mode?!

How could this be?!

The greatsword was wrapped in scorching flames.

The form of the sword body began to change again, its overall appearance gradually transforming under the cover of flames.

The greatsword turned into a weapon that looked like a spear, and it flew directly into Lin Nai's hand.

"Heavenly Fire Judgment: Limit Release"

"Fingerprint detected, authenticating, scanning..."

"Authentication complete: Lin Nai"

"ENTRY"

"Flame Lance: Ready"

Lin Nai's face was filled with confusion.

What happened? What happened?

If it were someone else, they might be completely bewildered, but the more Lin Nai looked at the thing in his hand, the more familiar it felt.

This...

This was the Flame Lance used by the Fire Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail, right?

No, that can't be!

This... this isn't right!

Let alone Lin Nai, even Siegfried, who had been using Heavenly Fire all along, was stunned.

How did Heavenly Fire Judgment change its form?

Did that thing just recognize a new owner?!

Was that a function of the Divine Key?!

BOOM!!!

The training room door was suddenly pushed open, and Einstein, Tesla, and Welt rushed in.

"What the hell! Is that Heavenly Fire? Siegfried! What the hell, is that thing for kids to play with?!"

Tesla immediately started yelling.

This made Siegfried even more confused.

How should he put it... he... could he be blamed for this?!

"Dr. Tesla, please calm down." Einstein quickly stopped the cursing Lobster Doctor.

She immediately noticed that the Heavenly Fire in Lin Nai's hand seemed slightly different from the one Siegfried used.

They had rushed over immediately after receiving the alert for exceeding the training room's energy levels.

They had also notified Welt at the same time.

As soon as they entered, they saw Lin Nai holding Heavenly Fire, with Siegfried standing to the side, OMO.

Heavenly Fire!

Using that thing is dangerous for people!

Look at how many people died after the Kaslana family used Heavenly Fire.

So Tesla immediately started cursing.

Welt walked over to Siegfried, "What exactly happened?"

"I don't know, after that kid took Heavenly Fire from me, Heavenly Fire just... just turned into that on its own."

As he spoke, Siegfried's expression was subtle; he had never encountered anything like this in his life.

For some reason, he felt an awkward sense of being NTR'd.

Tesla calmed down with Einstein's comfort, but still glared at Siegfried.

This made Siegfried scratch his head; he really couldn't be blamed for this...

Welt chimed in, "If you hadn't bothered that kid, it wouldn't have come to this, would it?"

Seeing the red marks on Siegfried's face and his tattered clothes.

Welt understood what had happened.

With a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes, So your face got hit by Lin Nai too?

His face was even more swollen than his.

Sensing Welt's gaze, Siegfried sighed.

From the beginning until now, Lin Nai had only used two skills, both of which were decapitation blades.

Everything else was close-combat skills.
