My Sister is Bronya

"Huh? It was killed? By whom? I thought only the defense cannons were left in the city?"

"It-it was Young Master Ishiu!"

"...Huh?"

Meanwhile, Ishiu had already engaged the Chariot-class Honkai Beast.

This Honkai Beast was no different from the ones simulated in the training room. It had no brain, and its attack patterns were monotonous: either smashing wildly or using sonic attacks. For Ishiu, he could easily dodge them even with his eyes closed.

But the only thing that gave Ishiu a headache was his small, broken knife. It was useless against the Chariot-class Honkai Beast.

Even if he plunged the entire blade in, it only resulted in a wound about 1.4 meters deep. For a creature of this size, it was like a scratch on a finger. It hurt, but it was far from fatal.

Unlike humans, Honkai Beasts had no hearts. To kill them, you either had to blast them to pieces with firearms or lop off their heads.

Chapter 30 - Seven Nights!

Ishiu looked at the katana in his hand, its durability almost depleted, and sighed. If only Honkai Beasts had weaknesses.

Huh? Wait! Speaking of weaknesses, he seemed to...

Ishiu patted his head. He suddenly remembered how his eyes had changed after arriving in this world.

He still didn't know where those strange eyes came from. Every time he used them, the world in his vision would change drastically. He saw lines like a spiderweb. He had once tried to touch one of those lines with his finger, and then... the line he touched was cut, and the source of the line—a wall—was also cut. All this just by using his finger.

If his guess was correct, then these eyes should also be effective against this Honkai Beast.

Once Ishiu thought of this, he no longer hesitated. He closed his eyes slightly, opening the door in his mind.

The next second, when he opened his eyes again, his originally pitch-black irises had turned into ice-blue pupils.

The world, once again, changed in Ishiu's eyes.

"As expected... you also have 'lines' on you..."

Ishiu looked at the Chariot-class Honkai Beast. Just as he had thought, countless dense lines appeared all over its body.

However, compared to its massive size, these lines seemed a bit sparse.

But it didn't matter, as long as he could see the lines.

Ishiu casually threw away the almost useless Plasma Katana and took out the dagger Bronya had given him from his pocket.

Since the target was those lines, the level of the weapon didn't matter. After all, he could easily cut them even with his fingers. Moreover, the dagger was more suitable for Ishiu's fighting style.

"Roar—!!!"

The Chariot-class Honkai Beast raised its thick, massive arm and brought it down towards Ishiu like a pillar supporting the sky.

However, Ishiu, who had been dodging quickly before, seemed stunned this time, standing still in place.

The shadow overhead grew larger and larger, and the whistling wind in his ears became more rampant. Ishiu held the dagger in a reverse grip, tilting his head up slightly.

"I see it... the [line]."

Just as the giant arm was about to fall, a flash of ice-blue rainbow light streaked past.

[Flash Blade - Seven Nights]

The dazzling blade light instantly cut through the sky, like a meteor rising from the ground, brilliant and piercing.

This was the fastest slash Ishiu could unleash at the moment, a strike imbued with the name of Seven Nights. If it remains sheathed, it's a hidden dragon in the abyss; if unleashed, it's a fleeting moment of beauty.

The next moment, the Chariot-class Honkai Beast stood there blankly, as if stunned.

Then, a light emerged from its body.

No... to be precise, it was the light shining through its body, which had been cut in half.

"Phew... I'm too awesome, aren't I?"

Ishiu, who had landed, looked back at the power of his strike and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

However, such an arrogant and cool act came at a price. His hand holding the sword now ached faintly from using Seven Nights.

Ishiu knew this was because the move was too powerful, and his physical condition couldn't keep up. If his physical condition were strong enough, he could use Seven Nights multiple times without issue.

It seemed he needed to double his physical training from now on.

Moreover, every time he used these eyes, it seemed to consume his mental energy. He had only used them for a dozen seconds, and Ishiu already felt a slight discomfort in his head.

"Y-Young Master Ishiu? D-Did you do this?"

Just then, a voice came from behind. Ishiu turned around and saw a tactical squad equipped with mechs and weapons. The person leading them was looking at him with a look of astonishment.

The Chariot-class Honkai Beast, cut in half, was still standing there, not yet completely dissipated.

"What do you think? Am I the only one here? If I didn't do it, could it have committed suicide?" Ishiu chuckled.

"B-but how did you..."

"Enough, now is not the time to talk about this. I've already dealt with the Honkai Beast here. We should hurry back to the front lines," Ishiu interrupted the leader. He didn't have time for idle chatter; he still had to help Cocolia deal with the Honkai Beasts.

"Oh, oh... alright." The leader nodded subconsciously, then glanced at Ishiu with surprise. He forcibly suppressed the questions swirling in his mind, and the group returned the way they came, but this time with an extra person.

Twenty minutes later, they returned to the front lines and quickly joined the battle against the Honkai Beasts.

Ishiu, on the other hand, was called over by Cocolia. After all, the two sides had been in constant contact, and Cocolia knew everything Ishiu had been up to.

As soon as Cocolia saw Ishiu, she scrutinized him from head to toe, left and right, as if she were meeting him for the first time.

Ishiu felt a bit awkward under her gaze and scratched his head. "Mom, why are you staring at me? We're still fighting Honkai Beasts."

"Why am I staring at you? I'm checking if you've grown a third head or six arms, otherwise, how could you have slaughtered seventeen Honkai Beasts, plus a Chariot-class Honkai Beast?" Cocolia looked at Ishiu with complex emotions. "If I hadn't seen the footage from the control room, I wouldn't have believed it was real."

"Well... I told you I could kill Honkai Beasts, you just didn't believe me."

"How was I supposed to believe you? Just a few weeks ago, you were almost killed by a Charge-class Honkai Beast, and now you're taking down Honkai Beasts one by one? Pretty impressive. Can you explain the reason to your mother?"

"This..." Ishiu pursed his lips and used a makeshift excuse he'd come up with on the way to fool Cocolia. Although the reason was a bit far-fetched, Cocolia had no choice but to accept it.

Don't ask, just assume it was an ancestral dream. JPG.

Afterward, Ishiu brought up the matter of going to the battlefield again.

This time, having witnessed Ishiu's prowess, Cocolia didn't refuse immediately. Instead, she hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "You want to go to the battlefield? Fine, but you have to promise me that no matter what, your safety comes first. No deep dives into the Honkai Beast horde, no straying from the main force, no..."

Cocolia listed over a dozen prohibitions, making Ishiu's head spin.

"...That's all for now. Also, I'm assigning you a captain. You need to stick close to her and don't fall behind."

As Cocolia spoke, she tapped a few times on the holographic screen. Soon, a familiar figure approached.

Chapter 31: Honkai Emperor

"Madam Cocolia, do you have any orders?" Bronya asked, dressed in combat armor and carrying a laser gun on her back, exuding the aura of a warrior maiden.

"Bronya, I'll be assigning Ishiu to your squad shortly. Please look after him for me," Cocolia said directly.

Bronya frowned at the request but didn't say anything. She simply nodded and replied crisply, "Understood."

On the battlefield, a qualified soldier cannot question any orders from their superior, even if the order seems absurd to them.

After a few more instructions, Cocolia let Ishiu leave with Bronya.

"Ishiu, I don't know why Madam Cocolia is letting you join my squad, but I trust she's not unreasonable. So, whatever you intend to do, you'd best get my permission first. Otherwise, I reserve the right to kick you out of the squad at any time."

After walking for a while, Bronya turned around and said sternly to Ishiu.

"Okay." Ishiu nodded. If only I had my phone, I'd definitely take a picture of Little Pudding right now.

The valiant Bronya is truly amazing!

"Mhm." Bronya was quite satisfied with Ishiu's attitude. She nodded and led him back to her squad.

Bronya's squad was positioned in the second line of the battlefield. The first line consisted of unmanned Mechs, forming a defensive wall to block the incoming tide of Honkai Beasts.

The Seven Nights clan members were in the second line, directly engaging the Honkai Beasts.

"Can you use a gun?"

"A little."

"Then use this one." Bronya took an Energy Pulse Pistol from the armory and handed it to Ishiu. "This gun reloads automatically. Although the speed is a bit slow, it has design calibration and is suitable for beginners."

Ishiu took the pistol and examined it. The gun had a somewhat futuristic design, resembling a water gun, but Ishiu knew he'd be the one with water in his brain if he treated it as such.

Unexpectedly, I'm going to be shooting a gun today. I feel a strange sense of excitement.

"Alright, from here on out, do as you see fit. As long as you don't charge in to die or flee from the battle, you can do whatever you want, as long as you can kill Honkai Beasts." After saying that, Bronya shouldered a large gun taller than herself and charged towards the front line.

Ishiu rubbed his nose and followed her.

The aloof Little Pudding... seems to have a unique charm too~

"Um, actually, I'm better at close combat..." Ishiu ventured.

His words immediately drew a look of disbelief from Bronya, as if she were looking at an idiot.

"Are you saying you want to charge into that horde of at least five thousand Honkai Beasts and have a one-on-one melee fight with them?"

"Uh..."

"Don't be silly. Unless you want to die, stay behind me obediently."

"Okay."

Ishiu scratched his head, thinking Bronya had a point. Even though he could take down Honkai Beasts one by one, facing so many of them, even if he were made of steel, he couldn't possibly kill them all. He could at most take down a few hundred.

Besides, he wasn't Superman and didn't have infinite stamina. There weren't any 25-crystal packs here.

So, Ishiu obediently followed behind Bronya, engaging the Honkai Beasts from the second line.

Although the Honkai Beasts were numerous, the Seven Nights clan was not weak. Especially the unmanned Mechs, which were not only powerful but could also form a shield barrier together.

Ishiu had seen it more than once: a giant white Mech smashing a Honkai Beast's head with a single punch.

Titan Daddy, forever our god!

When these Mechs were destroyed by Honkai Beasts, they would activate a self-destruct function, taking down several Honkai Beasts at once.

Thus, the tide of battle gradually began to tilt in humanity's favor.

Until... a colossal Honkai Beast appeared.

"Detecting strong Honkai Energy reaction! All second-line personnel, retreat! All retreat!"

An anxious voice sounded over the comms channel, but at this moment, everyone's gaze was uniformly fixed on the Honkai Beast that had suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

This Honkai Beast was about fifty meters tall, nearly twice as tall as a Chariot-class Honkai Beast. The instant it appeared, the world seemed to dim in comparison.

An intense sense of pressure immediately washed over everyone.

This was the king at the very apex of lower-tier Honkai Beasts: a Honkai Emperor!

Whenever a Honkai Beast of this level appeared, it caused immense destruction because it was simply too powerful, powerful enough to turn the tide of an entire battle.

"ROAR!!"

The Honkai Emperor let out a furious roar. Immediately after, the crystals floating behind it plunged violently into the ground. The Honkai Energy surged to its peak in an instant, and six purple beams erupted from beneath the earth, tearing apart the dozens of mechs blocking its path into shreds!

"Fall back quickly!" Cocolia's voice echoed through the comms channel.

Everyone maintained their firepower while slowly retreating.

"First squad, you can use 'that' now!"

"Understood!"

Ishiu initially didn't know what Cocolia meant by 'that', but soon, a thick blue beam shot out from the other side of the battlefield.

When that light ignited, the world seemed to fade into darkness for a moment. The beam carried a wave that could destroy everything, and everything in its path was directly vaporized by its terrifying energy fluctuations.

Then, under everyone's watch, it ruthlessly pierced the Honkai Emperor's head and continued forward, melting all the Honkai Beasts in its path.

"Holy crap! What was that!" Ishiu's eyes widened in astonishment. Such destructive power was too terrifying. The Honkai Emperor, which had seemed so formidable just moments ago, was instantly gone.

"That's the Positron Cannon. It's a weapon the Seven Nights clan spent a long time researching. Its power is immense, but the cost is very high. Based on the current situation, it can probably only be used once per battle. From here on, it's up to us," Bronya explained calmly from the side.
