Battle of Recollection · Part Three

Kiana isn't stupid; she's very smart. It's just that without comparison, there's no harm done.

Even geniuses need a stage to perform, and Xing was just too dazzling, to the point that she and the others in the Fire-Chasing Squad were marginalized.

In several major battles, Xing was the main force in resolving them, and their roles were basically auxiliary or supporting, making them seem insignificant.

Therefore, the original Honkai 3rd protagonist group seems quite useless compared to General Xing, who has experienced countless battles.

You can't blame them. Their experience bar was too low, their mentality wasn't up to par, and the difficulty of the Lucky dungeons was getting increasingly absurd and abnormal. How were the likes of Kiana supposed to play?

Sachi, whose mental health issues were so severe that she appeared to be a normal person, had long been aware of this problem, so this time she personally joined them in playing.

To prevent them from accidentally killing her, she thoughtfully modified the cloned Judah and tied it to herself. She also spent most of her mana on torturing, no, testing Durandal, so she wouldn't have to worry about accidentally using a small skill to clear the map while fighting the Kiana.

PS: Calling out allies consumes a lot of mana, so they usually just summon them, attack once, and then go back. Triga only summoned an arm, but that still consumed a large portion of Sachi's energy.

Note: The normal output of the Eclipse Fire is at the level of an ordinary Herrscher, but this is measured by the standard of Happiness. Her normal combat power is enough to suppress the Herrscher of Ascension.

(It can be understood that the Will of Honkai of the Erosion was born at the level of Herrscher of Ascension, which is why the Honkai Will was willing to reset time and space to add two rule restrictions to him. Without these restrictions, the Will of Honkai would have created a large army of planetary-level or even stronger forces to kill the Herrscher of Scorching Flame.)

By the way, the next stage of Corrosion is the final form of Happiness in this book, so let's wait and see.

Note: There is no guarantee that there may be even stronger external forms.

—Beginning of main text—

The soul-capturing Twin Butterfly Swarm swirled around Happiness, while Black Seele swung her scythe, striking repeatedly, but could only create ripples on the thin screen of light.

Xing lazily sat cross-legged on the large Lotus Platform that rose beneath him, his posture expansive. Behind him, the Nine-Tails extended and coiled around him, manipulating nine thin light screens engraved with runes to defend against the attacks of the crowd.

(Imagine a group of people attacking from all directions, while the tails hold up light screens, busy blocking and attacking wherever they want.)

Kiana was exasperated. "Are you sure this is the basic form? You just casually... oops, casually made a defensive shield that's harder than the baguette I made!"

I secretly brought Wendy into the game thinking I could catch her off guard, but this jealous little Qingtuan got furious as soon as she saw Xing turn into a fox... Although I temporarily used the power of the Herrscher of Void to teleport Rosalia and the others over, I forgot that this guy can solo Nightmare difficulty dungeons.

"Damn it! If you've got the guts, come out here and let me shave your fur!" Black Seele, her anger at its peak, slammed her paws on the light screen and roared at the fox-eared boy inside who was trimming his toenails.

"Huh? What did you say? Put more pressure on me, okay?" Xing didn't even raise her head. Her two fox ears drooped down beside her ears, and her tail, which was supporting the light screen, came around and poked her cheek with the red tip of its tail. Black Seele was furious.

"Quantization won't work, and I tried to open a portal right next to him, but that didn't work either. So..." Kiana, who had retreated to the back after realizing that a direct attack wouldn't work, pondered for a while. Her eyes lit up, and she clasped her hands together in front of her chest. A deep and dark "disc" gradually condensed in her palms.

Try out my latest invention – the Dimensional Blade!

Kiana swiftly aimed and hurled it with force. Almost simultaneously, Sachi, who had been nonchalant, narrowed her eyes. But the black, round blade, under Kiana's control, flashed past everyone, and then—

To everyone's astonishment, it sliced through a light barrier along with its supporting tail.

The cut was so smooth and neat that it seemed as if the space it occupied had also been cut open.

Kiana was overjoyed to see her attack work when she saw the boy clutching his severed tail, tears welling in his eyes, burying his head and sobbing softly.

That sight would move even the most hard-hearted person to tears.

PS: It hurts quite a bit, but Xing Zi is sad because its tail broke off.

Kiana lowered her head upon seeing this, but her keen senses quickly alerted her to something amiss. When she looked up, she Mei and the others staring at her with hostile expressions, as if someone were about to give the order to turn her into braised Kiana.

Bronya coldly tossed the Heavenly Fire Judgment to her, "For the sake of our friendship, commit suicide, Kiana."

Kiana: "???"

PS: This form is a hundred times more alluring than the previous one, but fortunately you can choose to turn it on or off.

(Now you know why cutting off the tail has such serious consequences, right?)
