Knight's Crisis

In the deep alley, a white-haired girl hummed a song and skipped along, while a boy with a distressed expression carried a large bag of things, his whole body covered in bags, and he was dragging a small cart piled high with things behind him.

"Luming, don't you have a spatial backpack? Why do I still have to carry it?" Kane asked, annoyed.

"Oh dear, just trying to leave a good impression on Kiana and the others. Be content, it's rare for me to take a liking to a guy, does that sound a little strange?" Sachi was mentally planning what to say when she met Kiana and the others. She had already exchanged letters with Little Te and Ai-chan, so was Sister Natasha okay with it?

"Huh, a special Honkai Energy reaction detected at this time?" Xing was a little puzzled when she received a message from Little Te. They were almost at the doorstep!

With no other option, she took out the driver and the Eagle Gun combo and instructed Kane, "I'll be right back. Take these to Reaven's. Don't say a word, understand?"

"Understood!" Kane agreed readily, unaware of the terrible fate that awaited him.

Hmm, it doesn't seem that bad?

—Fire Moth, strike!—

In Natasha's private bar, the Fire-Chasing Squad, visiting for the first time, was in a tense standoff with the manager.

"Why you?" Kiana stared intently at her, her Super Electromagnetic Cannon already fully charged.

"Is it because you Kidnapping?" Mei gripped Dawnbreaker Talwar tightly.

"Hand over my man, no, my woman!" Bronya slung the Star Destroyer Cannon 19C over her shoulder, threatening to smash up the shop if she didn't hand her over.

White Seele quickly tried to mediate. "Sister Bronya, thankfully Sister Xing isn't here. I can sense that she's not restrained at all. Hmm, she seems to be very close to us, and she's getting closer... Wait, why is she suddenly moving away?"

Black Seele stared at Natasha with an uncertain expression. "Hey, what's going on? Why does this woman smell so strongly of sex? Could it be..."

Black Seele suddenly realized that Bronya's hair had turned into the same color scheme as Wendy's.

Facing the Fire-Chasing Squad, who were always ready for battle, Natasha remained calm. She swirled the wine in her glass a few times and slowly pulled a badge from her pocket. "The little guy said that if you ever find this place or find me, I'll show you this. Is it some kind of token?"

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw the badge in her hand. It was the team badge that every member who joined the Fire-Chasing Squad was awarded—a badge with the Fire Moth symbol.

P. S.: Luckily, I didn't send it to Kane, because he's still under observation.

Ai-chan poked her head out from the basement entrance and explained to the bewildered Fire-Chasing Squad, "Young Master, uh, should I call her Miss? We've already recruited this woman; she's one of ours now."

"Huh?" Kiana looked at Natasha in disbelief, feeling utterly astonished. "Back in Yae Village, if it weren't for our help, Sachi would have already been captured by her; in Changkong City, she even personally sent Sachi to that Dog-headed Strategist's operating table. Sachi would recruit such a dangerous element?"

"But even Ai-chan said that, so Sachi must have made some kind of deal with her." The meticulous Mei thought of many things in that instant, but she still didn't lower her guard. "Bronya, contact Sachi!"

"No need to contact Little Xing, she's dealing with the newly appeared monsters." Little Te pushed Ai-chan aside and walked in front of everyone. "After a long period of observation by this unit, we can trust Natasha Siola, the former executive of World Serpent [Raven]. Please rest assured."

"Even Little Te is here..." Bronya squatted down and rubbed her two HOMU ears. "What's a weirdo?"

Little Te blinked, and a stream of 0s and 1s flowed across his eyes. "This machine has explained this many times before. Little Xing's partner is almost here; let him explain it to you. This machine needs to go back to charge."

After saying that, the red-haired Armed Doll flew away, leaving the eight people standing there dumbfounded.

Rosalia asked her sister, looking confused, "Did Little Te just say 'him'?"

Liliya nodded blankly. "If Rosalia and Liliya's ears are not mistaken, yes."

Kiana, Mei, Bronya, and Wendy's expressions all darkened, and the atmosphere instantly became oppressive.

Outside, Kane arrived exhausted, dragging a huge pile of things with him. After putting down the bags, he was panting heavily. Just as he was about to go inside to rest, he noticed a large pile of luggage already stacked up by the door. A pink-haired girl, also panting, was slumped on the ground. Noticing the arrival of a stranger, she bared her sharp teeth at him threateningly.

So cute~

Faced with Xing's protest, Kane was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he wanted to pat the head of this girl who, like his partner, had heterochromia.

But that would be very impolite, so let's forget about it.

Just as Kane was about to ask the unknown loli about her identity, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. A sense of crisis, like being watched by a venomous snake, surged through his body. Instinctively, he pulled out the Beat Closer from his shoulder bag and held it in front of him.

PS: Lobster Doctor's amazing technology— the Build System's weapons can be stored in the driver and constructed directly when needed. Kane here first reached for the belt in his shoulder bag, and then drew his sword.

When he looked at the person emanating a dangerous aura, the boy's blue pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

"S-Rank Valkyrie, Rita Losweisse?!"

As the eldest son of the Kaslana Family, he naturally recognized this woman and knew how powerful she was. Without thinking about why she was there, Kane prepared for battle.

"(I wonder how the shop manager is doing. I need to let Luming know right away. The chances of winning are slim, but I have to give it my all!)"

However, just as Kane was preparing for a desperate battle, Rita, who was standing at the door, did not intend to make a move. Seeing the boy who looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, she looked him over with interest for a while and said indifferently, "Luming Lady's guests have been waiting for you inside for a long time. Aren't you going in?"

"Huh? You know Luming?" Kane blinked in confusion. One of them?

Before he could even ponder the veracity of this conjecture, a resentful white furball emerged from behind Rita, its gaze fixed on the Beat Closer in his hand.

"That sword belongs to Cross-Z, which means she gave it to you... What's your relationship with my sister, kid?!"

P. S.: Tesla originally designed the Cross-Z for Kiana, but later, considering that Sachi needed to go out on an investigation, they gave it to her as well.

"Kiana?" Kane looked at the girl who seemed to harbor inexplicable hostility towards him, puzzled. If she was here, was Xingxing here or not?

Before he could even approach them to speak, Bronya and Wendy, both with gloomy expressions, appeared in unison, fully equipped in their Valkyrie Armor.

"Um, everyone in the Fire-Chasing Squad? Is there some misunderstanding between us?" Sensing that something was off, Kane wasn't stupid. He tried to clarify the situation, but before he could finish speaking, a scythe gleaming with cold light was placed against his neck.

Kane: "..."

Luming, was that what you were afraid of back then? Then don't let me come back first!

PS: I didn't want to come back first, firstly because I was afraid Kane would suffer another setback, and secondly because I was afraid I would be taken advantage of by the women.

"How should we handle this?" Black Seele asked coldly.

Kiana didn't even think twice. "Hmph, the men of the Kaslana Family, just look at my stinky old man who touched the butts of every Valkyrie in Schicksal, I'll beat them up first!"

"The former clan leader was wronged by Senior Shigure Kira!" Kane tried to clarify the facts for his clan leader, but Kiana and the others clearly didn't want to hear his explanation.

Just as they were about to swarm forward and give the innocent boy a good beating, several dark red Raven Feather fell from the sky.

"Hey, you're one of my people, you should ask me first before you fight, right? Besides, Honkai Energy in your weapons leaks, it will affect the nearby residents. How could a self-proclaimed righteous Valkyrie do such an evil thing?"

After all, she had picked him up herself, and besides, if the little guy got hurt, she would lose a free laborer. Natasha took out her Five-Star Bow and Arrow and walked out of the bar. "He and the little guy are just partners. You should know that she wouldn't do something so outrageous. She just wants to take her anger out on him, right?"

"Hmph!" Kiana snorted coldly, putting down the Super Electromagnetic Hand Cannon. "Tell me everything you know, or I guarantee you'll die a horrible death today!"

Ai-chan timidly peeked out from the doorway. "Um, Miss said to try not to cripple people, she doesn't have the ability to heal them right now..."

—Hopefully Kane won't get killed—

"This time it's the back mountain, finally not a factory."

The knight in black and orange landed steadily, while the Falcon Gatlinger cautiously watched for any movement in the vicinity.

This Build, reborn in the Honkai World, is largely the same as the Knight World, but there are also many differences. After all, where would the Honkai World get Nebula Gas and Pandora's Box? Lord E naturally wouldn't have them either.

Furthermore, there's something strange about the Knight Combination. It seems that it can only be triggered when Sachi uses it herself. When she handed the Shark Smartphone to Kane and transformed, it turned into Build's Experimental Form instead of Faiz.

We need to carefully examine what's going on here.

"Hmm, something's happening?" Sensing the unusual activity nearby, the knight immediately raised his gun.

A golden, insect-shaped monster appeared before her, with a long, sharp antenna on its head. It was clearly a rhinoceros Unicorn Beetle.

"I don't know why, but I really want to break off that horn." Fortunately, he was considering whether to switch to the Scarlet Diamond Mode. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to test the waters first. The Grease was very likely spying on him nearby. It was better to minimize the use of other forms. It would be bad if the data was collected and weaknesses were analyzed.

PS: The reason why the powerful forms of Kamen Rider suffered setbacks later on, besides the Honkai setting, the users holding back, and the weakening of the plot relationships, was that the strategies for defeating them were figured out.

For details, please refer to the Lord E stage of the Sento strategy guide, Fukuiide K King and the Honest Man faces the Twin Rabbits for the first time. (That's all I can remember.)

"Buzz—" The Unicorn Beetle looked very agitated. Its carapace opened, and two thin insect wings extended out, vibrating rapidly and generating a powerful airflow.

Want to fight in the air? Fortunately, we are ready for takeoff.

To her surprise, the other party did not intend to fly up. Instead, it charged towards her, its wings vibrating rapidly, propelling it into the knight. It lowered its head and aimed its long, sharp, alien tentacle at the knight. The tentacle deformed into a drill and then began to spin at high speed.

"I've already got the Time-based Watch Full Bottle. If I get the Unicorn Beetle Full Bottle too, maybe I can complete that man's Knight Combination. Today, you'd better prepare to die. That guy won't be able to steal it from me again!"

The Unicorn Beetle was very fast, and it flew to the knight in the blink of an eye, but Sachi's reaction speed was also very fast.

Full of energy, she switched to her Smart Phone Wolf Form, intending to dodge the opponent's charge and unleash a barrage of attacks. But just as she finished transforming and was about to sidestep, a sound like a camera shutter clicking rang in her ears—

"Click".

In that instant, space was frozen.

The knight froze, motionless like a still statue. Facing the Unicorn Beetle monster's charge, she didn't even raise the Build Pad Shield mounted on her left arm to defend herself.

The high-speed rotating drill bit mercilessly pierced the knight's weakly protected abdomen, penetrating his armor.

PS: In most forms of Build, the abdomen is not protected by armor.

The knight, who was still in an attacking stance, was knocked away, and blood flowed in the air.

The eerie stillness was only broken when the knight landed, allowing feedback from the nervous system to reach the brain.

A suppressed cry of pain escaped the girl's lips as she was forced to de-transform. She clutched her abdomen, which had a hole in it, and struggled to get up from the ground.

Facing the menacing Unicorn Beetle monster, she didn't hesitate at all, quickly turning the joystick of the driver to transform a second time, without even treating her wounds.

"There are two enemies."

The silver-blue knight sped across the battlefield, leaving only afterimages. The enemy could not catch a glimpse of her figure and could not even see her exact location.

"Honkai Vision, activated."

The girl whispered, ignoring the bleeding in her abdomen and the growing dizziness in her head. She was Kaslana, after all. Even if she lost her self-healing ability, this kind of injury wouldn't kill her anytime soon.

"I've found you."

A grotesque-looking man was crouching in the grass. His head resembled a giant old-fashioned camera. He was observing the situation on the front lines while keeping his hand on the shutter button on his head, ready to press it at any moment to imprison the knight.

"Hey, look at the camera."

A deathly whisper rang in its ears. The strange man, who had transformed from a perverted paparazzi, quickly turned around, only to find nothing behind him. Just as it was stunned, a bloody claw pierced the back of its head.

The lens shattered, claws extended, and the Camera Monster ceased its activity, its limbs hanging limply.

"A swift and decisive victory."

"Ready Go!" Vortex Finish!"

The Unicorn Beetle monster was still searching for the missing knight when a halo suddenly appeared around it, displaying icons of various mobile phone apps.

A wolf-shaped phantom flew out and ran rapidly around the Unicorn Beetle monster. Sensing something was wrong, it tried to escape, but its drill-like tentacles were mercilessly snapped off by the Phantom Wolf's angry blow.

The Unicorn Beetle's body gradually collapsed under the continuous attacks of the Phantom Wolf, and finally could not withstand it any longer and exploded. Amidst the towering sparks, Build in its Smart Phone Wolf Form slowly stood up, its heterochromatic blue-silver compound eyes shining brightly even in the firelight.

She looked at the two newly collected full bottles in her hand and put them away with satisfaction.

"Hey, Jackal, you've been secretly watching me, haven't you?"

The knight turned his head, his blue-silver compound eyes flashing with coldness.

"I don't know what you're planning, but in the end, I will thwart your plans, even if I'm weaker now. The result will be the same."

"Don't forget which unarmed brat ruined your plans in this city back then. What I could do a year ago, I can do now."

After making these defiant statements, he took out Smoke Gun and left. Shortly after, Raven in Grease Form emerged from the shadows, carrying a High-definition Camera.

"Sigh, the Jackal will be furious, won't he? But little guy, you're really something..."

—I feel a little sorry for Sachi, even though I'm the one who's to blame—

In the dimly lit alley, a pale-faced girl lifted her skirt, which was covered in blood.

"Damn it, I forgot that strenuous exercise can cause massive bleeding."

She cursed under her breath. She quickly took out medicine and tools and performed basic treatment.

First, inject an injection of adrenaline, then administer Hemostatic Agent. Sterilize the tools with high heat, and treat the wound as Rita taught me...

"Done." The girl, covered in sweat, let out a sigh of relief. She bandaged her wounds, cleaned the blood-stained parts of her body, discarded her blood-stained clothes in a dark corner, and changed into her original clothes. After carefully examining herself and making sure there was nothing wrong, she prepared to leave.

But just then, she bumped into several strangely dressed, oddly tattooed, and differently colored teenagers who were clearly not good people.

The leader of the thugs glanced at her casually and whistled, "Hey, little sister, what are you doing here all alone? Are you here to play with your brothers?" He then laughed loudly with his underlings.

"Get out of here, you trash." Sachi didn't want to pay any attention to these scum and warned them.

"Tch, you stinking bitch, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?" the thug scoffed, reaching out to strike her.

She wanted to dodge and then punch him again, but due to excessive blood loss, she couldn't even do such a simple movement.

"My body can't keep up with my reactions... Ugh!"

In her haste, the girl could only barely raise her hand to block, and unsurprisingly, she was pinned against the wall by the thugs. The man's foul breath hit her ear, and an unprecedented sense of fear swept over her.

"Tsk tsk, look at that pretty face, she's definitely number one among the women I've ever seen. I wonder what her figure is like~" The man looked at the frail girl excitedly, and amidst the envious glances of his underlings, he reached out his lecherous hand—

"I told you, get out of my way!!!"

The mortal world is hard to cross.

The thugs' eyes became vacant. Xing kicked the thug leader aside, angrily took out the Alien Hel Bow, and pointed the gun at his head, but his trembling hand could not pull the trigger.

Two voices echoed in her mind. One said that it was a human life after all, and it was enough to teach it a lesson; there was no need to kill it. The other voice scolded her for being hypocritical, saying that killing such trash was doing a service to the people, so what was there to hesitate about?

(Take them down! You almost got to the Defeat CG, what's there to hesitate about?)

(Hey, Assassin, did you take the wrong medicine today? Aren't you usually on the thugs' side?)

(I'm a pervert! But I'm not a bad person! Kill me!)

"Damn it, why can't I hesitate at all when facing Honkai zombie and Honkai Beast, but I can't bring myself to kill this bastard? Damn it!"

The weapon slipped from her hand, and the dejected girl slumped to the ground, at a loss for what to do. But just then, a flash of inspiration struck her.

"Yeah, if it's Honkai zombie and Honkai Beast..."

A strange smile appeared on the girl's lips, and a full bottle appeared in her hand.

After a while, several gunshots rang out in the alley. Luckily, she blew on the muzzle of the gun, which wasn't hot, and put the weapon away. She patted her incredibly dizzy head, thinking that she should buy some pig liver on her way back to replenish her blood.

Behind her, several Honkai zombie lay sprawled on the ground, their bodies clad in strange attire. The girl casually tossed an Incendiary Bomb, and the Honkai zombie's corpses turned to ashes.

"That way, I won't feel guilty at all, hehe~"

Author's Note—
