Long-Awaited Bonded Weaponry! (Part 1)

In the azure sky, a giant white dragon pierced through the clouds, its enormous Dragon Wings sweeping as it hurtled towards the tiny humanoid creature in front of it.

"Damn it, why are you only chasing me?" Kiana, who was being targeted by Bebelong, was on the verge of tears. She activated her Eagle Wings to escape while using the Falcon Gatlinger to fight back against Benares, but the effect was minimal.

"Get away from her!" A streak of purple light relentlessly pursued Benares. Mei, riding on Wendy's back, attacked the dragon in conjunction with Wendy 'Herrscher of Wind powers, while simultaneously creating opportunities for Kiana to escape.

"Sister Mei, can't you fly?" Wendy remained in her transformed state, her blue wind wings unfurling at her waist. She stared intently at the raging Benares, not forgetting to ask Mei, whom she had brought to her side with her wind field, about the situation.

Lightning danced at the Thunder Queen's fingertips. Mei calculated the output power in her mind, aimed at her target, and the results of Welt's teaching were evident at this moment. "I can do it, but I'm not quite proficient yet."

Super Electromagnetic Cannon!

Without the slightest error, the attack landed squarely on Benares. The dragon let out a mournful cry, paused briefly, and then continued its pursuit of its queen.

Mei was surprised by the opponent's high level of defense. Seeing this, Wendy continued her battle plan. She originally wanted to directly drain the air around Benares, but the opponent's movement speed was too fast. She could not drain the gas in such a large area in an instant. Therefore, she could only keep creating air walls or wind Wind Blade to slow down Benares' speed.

"This is troublesome. Sister Yuki said that it would be a big problem if others saw our armor and Herrscher power." As Benares flew out over a wider area, Wendy and Mei's expressions became grim, and the wind and lightning around them became denser.

"Damn it, I'm not someone to be trifled with!" Kiana, driven to desperation by the pursuit, immediately deactivated her transformation. She donned the replica Sky Ranger armor, hugged her shoulders, and activated the weapon system that originally belonged to White Knight Moonlight.

"Light Wings—"

Eight beams of light, constantly gathering energy, danced on Kiana's back. After a brief period of charging, the girl unleashed a barrage of military-grade gamma rays, precisely striking the dragon that was about to pounce.

Sparks from the explosion continued to rise from her body, but she seemed completely oblivious to them, charging towards Kiana without hesitation.

"Damn it... Did I have a grudge against you in my past life?!"

Kiana roared at the giant dragon head in a fit of rage, unaware that her voice was tinged with a hint of a sob, and her pure blue eyes were faintly tinged with gold.

No, my Queen, I was your most loyal kin in a past life.

Kiana deftly shook her hand, and two small metal pieces fell from her arm. After a series of transformations, they turned into two large Gatling guns, which Kiana held in her hands. The girl gripped the trigger and, without the slightest hesitation, fired a dense barrage of bullets at Benares as if they were free.

It doesn't matter if you don't remember me.

It was Bella's fault for not being there for you when you needed me most.

The core you gave me has shattered, and your subordinates will be held accountable even if they die a thousand deaths.

But at least, please let me stay by your side now.

"Roar!!!" Benares roared, following the last bit of obsession he had left before transforming back into his most basic Honkai Beast, and flew towards Kiana amidst the gunfire.

PS: Bella is long gone. Without the Simulated Core Sirin gave her, Benares would just be an ordinary Honkai Beast without consciousness.

"Damn it!" Kiana gritted her teeth as the enormous shadow enveloped her. The god-slaying weapon Gungnir materialized in her hand, but she froze the moment she was about to fire.

Sparkling blue light spots were continuously flying out from Benares's four dragon eyes.

For no apparent reason, Kiana felt an indescribable sadness, as if an unfillable void had suddenly appeared in her heart.

"Bella ..." she murmured the name unconsciously, a tear rolling down her cheek.

It was this hesitation that caused her to miss the best opportunity to attack, and also gave Benares the perfect chance to win back the Queen.

Unfortunately, her plans were disrupted again.

"Get out of here!!!"

A blinding flash of lightning illuminated her eyes. As the thunder subsided, Mei, clad in the Dawn Assault Armor, embraced her lover with one arm, wielded the Magnetic Storm Slash with the other, and fearlessly raised her weapon against the dragon.

Benares's scales began to turn purple, and several enormous balls of electricity coalesced in front of her.

"Disperse." Mei uttered this word calmly, and the energy that the dragon was gathering instantly dissipated.

Do not use electric skills in front of the Herrscher of Thunder. Although it is only a simulation, it can still prevent you from generating electricity.

"A good opportunity!" Seeing Benares stunned because his attack was suddenly stopped, Wendy's eyes lit up. She reached out and grabbed at the air. The dragon, which was originally suspended in the air, instantly lost its support and fell straight down.

Mei and the other person, who were suspended in mid-air by electromagnetic force, were unaffected, but felt a little stuffy.

With the crisis temporarily averted, Mei breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at Kiana with concern, "Are you alright, Kiana?"

The usually lively girl was now somewhat downcast. "Mei, that dragon seemed to cry when it saw me. I... I feel like I've seen her somewhere before. It's so strange."

Wendy was flying over here, saw the two of them snuggling together intimately. She felt like Bronya had hit her with a flashbang. Just as she was feeling annoyed, she suddenly heard a very familiar voice.

"Huh, why is there a motorcycle sound high up in the sky? And I don't think I've seen this motorcycle in a long time." Wendy floated in mid-air, propped her chin up with her hand, thought seriously for 0.1 seconds, and then suddenly realized and slapped her head. "Oh right, that's the sound of the motorcycle that Brother Xing and Bronya transformed into after their Heavy Cannon Rabbit Bonded Weaponry was applied."

"Huh?" Wendy was stunned, then suddenly realized something.

"Hey Wendy, I knew you'd look amazing in this armor when I was designing it, and it seems my intuition was spot on." A really cool-looking motorcycle came to a smooth stop behind her. The long-absent young hacker took off his sunglasses, smiled slightly, then flipped off the motorcycle, and then... then he fell off.

"It's been so long since I transformed, I forgot this form can't fly on its own!!!"

A sudden wail echoed across the sky. Wendy looked down, stunned, as the familiar little boy continued to fall. After a moment of shock, she realized what was happening and quickly caught up with the Motorcycle Rabbit that had flown down first. Together, they pulled the clumsy little boy out of the water.

Come on, aren't you curious about how the long-haired beauty from the last chapter suddenly turned back into a cute boy? Don't worry, let's rewind half an hour—

"It's burned out..." Kane, in his Jelly Dragon Form, lay on the ground in a panic, deactivating his transformation in a burst of blue light. Raven watched the boy with his butt sticking out towards him and silently turned away. He felt much better after beating him up. Time to go home!

Ahem, sorry, wrong video, it's this one.

When Xing rushed into the Jackal's hidden room, he was surprised to find that it was so large that it was a complete Underground Base, if you didn't look at the huge hole in the ceiling that allowed you to look down at the stars.

"You're here." Bronya, who had been ruthlessly abandoned by her teammates because she couldn't fly... and had stayed behind to wait for her, greeted her and then hurriedly urged, "The desperate Jackal awakened Benares, and we fought it. Unexpectedly, it took a lot of interest in Kiana and flew after her. Do you have any full flying flasks? Hurry up and take me after them, or we'll be eating idiots' food another day."

The long-haired beauty, possessed by Seele, thought seriously for 0.1 seconds, then looked at the delicate and delicious loli in front of her and revealed a meaningful smile.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Bronya suddenly felt a chill and hugged her shoulders in fear.

"Stay where you are, darling~" Xing walked up to her, rubbing his hands together with ill intent.

"Idiot, don't do it now... it's not too late to wait until we get home!" Bronya tried to resist, but several black tentacles emerged from beneath her feet, binding her limbs. Seeing this, the little girl had no choice but to resign herself to her fate, closing her eyes and looking forward to what would happen.

Then she heard that long-lost call, "Place me, and you, on top of each other."

"Huh?" The dumbfounded silver-haired loli opened her eyes, just in time to witness the scene of herself and Happiness becoming one.

"Damn it! So after Seele buffed you up, you can keep up with us, huh?!" Bronya instantly understood. She had been so looking forward to it, and this was all they did?

Oh well, it's been a long time since I've been ridden by Yuki, so reminiscing about it is nice.

Xing opened his eyes and noticed that he had turned back into his familiar boyish form. He tapped the button on his wrist to use the mirror function. "Hmm, Otherworld Hacker Armored form. Hmm, I was really looking forward to the Luming version of Otherworld Hacker. What a pity."

"But it's been so long since I've been a boy. Is this what it feels like to be a boy?" the boy muttered to himself, looking at his hands.

In her consciousness space, Bronya took a deep breath. Hmm, this familiar feeling, it's right.

Hey, why is Seele squatting over there? Is she withdrawn?

"It's been so long since I've felt this way, little rabbit. It's so nostalgic." Xing patted the little rabbit's head, then got on the Motorcycle Rabbit flew into the sky, chasing after Benares.

"That's how it happened." The spiral-tailed boy, who was being held in the arms of the adoring Qingtuan and kept sucking on it, briefly explained to Qi Ya and the other girl, "However, if I face a high-intensity battle, my transformation time will be greatly shortened, since my own energy balance cannot be broken."

Kiana curiously poked his cheek with her finger. Hmm, the younger brother's cheek felt better. "Shall we do it?" the girl asked, posing a question that was easily misunderstood.

"Do it," Xing said earnestly, holding her hand.

As Wendy was inhaling, she suddenly felt something was wrong. When she opened her eyes, she found Bronya lying lifeless in her arms. Startled, she threw Bronya away, but luckily Mei caught her in time.

Below, the long-absent Judgment Knight was plummeting rapidly. The Knight's Judgment pistols were mounted on his back, transforming into wings along with his cloak, helping him fly faster toward the lying Bebelong.

"Luckily, I have a crazy idea. Will you agree?" Kiana said to him in a rare serious tone.

"What?" Xing looked at the back of her hand, where a constantly flashing red pattern appeared through the glove. With the help of the resonance in Kaslana's bloodline, she was finally able to briefly regain this long-lost power.

"I want to raise a dragon."

The girl spoke the most absurd words in the most serious tone.

"Okay, I'll help you." Sachi agreed without any hesitation, without even asking Kiana why, just like when she agreed to let Kiana join the team.

(Although I didn't agree immediately at the time.)

That's how it is between siblings. If you need help, just say so. As for the reason, do we really need to know?

However, Xing would never call her "sister" even if he were beaten to death. Calling Theresa" Mom" was already his limit. He had no intention of acknowledging this white fur ball as his sister.

Golden chains emerged from the Stigmata and coalesced into the shape of a sword in the young knight's hand.

Heavenly Fire Judgment - Oath of Protection

The knight landed perfectly with a somersault, switching the Heavenly Fire Judgment: Oath of Protection to his right hand. The Knight's Judgment flew out from his back and formed the Knight's Judgment Greatsword in his left hand.

The Judgment Knight - Skyfire Dual Wielding Mode is here!

"Kiana, you know what? Before you can capture a new Pokémon, you have to beat it up first so you can put it in the Poké Ball."

"I know, so let's go!" Kiana didn't think about where to keep such a huge dragon; all she knew was that she would regret it if she really killed Benares.

The young knight held two greatswords engulfed in flames in his hands. Looking at the still energetic Benares, he smiled with satisfaction. "You received a lot of attention in the simulated combat system last time. Now you've finally met the real deal. But it seems like Jackal hasn't recovered much. Oh well, I, no, Kiana, will take good care of you."

"However, before that, I need to teach you the proper etiquette for meeting your master."

The excited dragon charged toward the knight without hesitation. She smelled the queen's scent, but as soon as she got close, she felt a blur before her eyes, and her head was forcibly pressed to the ground by a tremendous force, leaving her unable to move.

"Pets should lie on the ground. Of course, if you can transform into human form, I'll consider you a partner."

Perhaps because he was tortured enough by the simulated Benares back then, he is now full of resentment, and even Kiana and the two Seele in the consciousness space are trembling.

White Seele: "Oh no, Brother Xing is definitely angry with me, that's why he's taking it out on this dragon. I should have known better than to stop him, then Mother Cocolia could have gone to jail sooner..."

None of them noticed that in a corner of the consciousness space, a pair of golden eyes were watching angrily as Benares was brutally beaten.

Fortunately, he discarded the Heavenly Fire Judgment - Oath of Protection and caught Benares's tail strike with one hand. The immense force sent him flying far away, and his arm bone was almost shattered, but he recovered quickly.

"Sorry, but I just turned off the sensory communication, so you probably didn't feel anything, right?" Xing moved his newly grown arm apologetically, apologized to Kiana and Seele, and then summoned back the Heavenly Fire Judgment: Oath of Protection. The two greatswords modeled after the Heavenly Fire Judgment shone brightly in his hands.

"Double Heavenly Fire Unleashed!"

The destructive fire of heaven enveloped the area; at this moment, all beings were equal.

Author's Note—

If the power of the Stigmata is suppressed for a long time, its power will gradually increase.

Fortunately, the bonus from each Stigmata is not complete, but partial, and he has never pushed a single Stigmata to its limit within his control.

Even with power-type, composite-type, and speed-type characters, it's only a matter of one Stigmata of Stigmata overwhelming the others; the full potential cannot be realized.

Additional information: If Sachi develops the Kaslana Stigmata sufficiently, he can temporarily use the Stigmata abilities of other Kaslana through the Kaslana Stigmata Space. The Heavenly Fire Judgment: Oath of Protection was actually a product of him unconsciously borrowing Sigfried's Stigmata power. He can also lend his power to other Kaslana. During the battle against the Giant Crocodile, Sachi unconsciously shared his unusable power with Kane, allowing him to recover quickly.

P. S.: Kane's Stigmata are from the same source as his father-in-law's, but he and his father-in-law are not related, so don't overthink it.
