Crows Mouth

Under Feng Chen's attack, these Mortals fell without a doubt.

"The second floor was pretty simple too."

However, the third floor was another story. The second floor had already forced Feng Chen to use Shadow Knight: Moonblade, so wouldn't the third floor require the combined abilities of Moonblade and Kiana Kaslana? What about the fourth and fifth floors?

He didn't have that many trump cards. His biggest trump card right now was that egg, and it probably wouldn't be of much use here.

This made it a question whether Feng Chen could clear the six-story Tenshu-kaku.

"Even if I can't, I have to try." This was his thought. After all, the girl was here, and it would be too embarrassing to back down.

A tree dies for its bark, and a man dies for his pride.

The third floor even had Honkai Beasts. It was the strangest thing to find Honkai Beasts in a place like Tenshu-kaku.

After all, this was a human structure. Honkai Beasts only destroyed things; it was too strange for them to come inside.

But thinking about the Herrscher of Erosion, he could roughly guess.

"Are these Honkai Beasts controlled by the consciousness split from the Herrscher of Erosion... A Herrscher's soul is much stronger than a human's. It seems like it's just a small matter to draw out some attention to control Honkai Beasts." This was just his guess. He would have to wait until he could contact the System to resolve this issue.

Why didn't he ask Yae Sakura? Because although Yae Sakura's sword energy had a wide range and many targets, it was ultimately just inertia.

Yae Sakura's inertia and controlling Honkai Beasts were different. The wider the range of her sword energy and the more targets there were, the more targets there would be. It could only increase, never decrease.

If you were to ask Yae Sakura if she could control her sword energy freely, she would definitely answer no.

Her sword energy could only kill enemies. Even if she were to be extravagant, it would be difficult to use it for chopping vegetables.

If she wasn't careful, she would chop the vegetables into pieces, very fine pieces at that.

As for how Yae Sakura chopped when cooking, that was obviously with a kitchen knife! Who would use a katana to chop vegetables while cooking? That would be exhausting!

Fortunately, the Honkai Beasts that appeared on the third floor were not particularly powerful ones, at most Tank-class.

The troublesome thing about Tank-class was their thick hides. Yae Sakura's attacks could only break through their defenses, not kill them in one go.

Not to mention the reinforced Alloy Tank-class Honkai Beasts and Honkai: Crush.

Two Honkai: Crush stood side-by-side, facing Feng Chen and Yae Sakura. They lowered their bodies slightly, and Feng Chen felt the air around them being sucked away.

A powerful gust of wind rushed towards them. Feng Chen and Yae Sakura instinctively grabbed each other's hands and ran backward. Although both were somewhat surprised, now was not the time for astonishment. They had to find a way to get through this level first.

Run, could they escape? The answer was, of course, no. In the relatively narrow space of each floor of Tenshu-kaku for Honkai Beasts, Feng Chen and Yae Sakura could not escape no matter where they hid.

It would be better to counterattack directly.

A blood-red cross was planted in the ground, and both Feng Chen and Yae Sakura held onto it tightly. Both had one hand free, ready for battle.

A short blade flew out of Feng Chen's hand. It was not stained with Feng Chen's blood, but its attack power could threaten Honkai: Crush.

This attack did not break through the defense, but it left a mark on one of the Honkai: Crush.

It was like when a person's body is scratched by something without being injured, leaving a white mark.

Such damage was enough to interrupt the Honkai Beasts' attacks.

With the powerful gust of wind from one less Honkai Beast, Yae Sakura and Feng Chen gradually found their footing and charged forward simultaneously.

Yae Sakura's body was more agile, so she was responsible for the Honkai Beast whose attack was interrupted. Feng Chen, with the imitation Judas, had the weight of a normal person and was not easily blown away, so he was responsible for the Honkai Beast that was still emitting a powerful gust of wind.

"Flash Slash" and "Blade Return" were executed in one smooth motion. The Honkai Beast that stopped attacking didn't even know how it died.

The other side was even more miserable. Feng Chen threw the imitation Judas and directly rammed into it.

Behind the two Honkai: Crush were two Demon Knights, an enhanced version of Knight-class Honkai Beasts.

Demon Knights' attacks were peculiar; they could carry special effects, such as freezing or igniting the target.

Freezing and igniting, as the names suggest, meant freezing without washing (fog) and constant burning (simple and straightforward).

Yae Sakura did not have an easy time dealing with the Demon Knights. The Demon Knights had long spears in their hands, which could block the "Flash Slash" attack.

Well, it could only block it once. For Yae Sakura, who was going all out, being able to block "Flash Slash" once was nothing, as "Flash Slash" could be used more than once, right?

As one Demon Knight blocked "Flash Slash" with its spear, although this attack was blocked, Yae Sakura's position change could not be blocked. Behind this Demon Knight, another thin cherry-colored line passed through.

Then, she sheathed her sword, "Blade Return."

The Honkai Beast fell to the ground, turning into Honkai Energy, but it was not absorbed due to Yae Sakura's current special state.

Feng Chen's side was even simpler. The Demon Knights did not have as troublesome attack methods as Honkai: Crush, so it was a direct head-on confrontation.

Let's see whose spear is harder or whose cross is harder.

This kind of battle had no spectacle at all; the situation was completely one-sided.

Having Honkai Beasts actually made things much simpler. It seemed the difference between Honkai Beasts and Mortals was that Honkai Beasts had great destructive power, while Mortals were troublesome.

Facing two different types of enemies, Feng Chen's choice was obvious.

"Sorry, I choose Mortals."

Although Honkai Beasts were less intelligent than Mortals, the risk was too great. If he was touched by accident, it would be over.

Although his heart leaned towards Mortals, Honkai Beasts were not difficult to deal with, provided he wasn't touched.

The highest-level enemies on the third floor were the Demon Knights that had just appeared. The rest were all Tank-class Honkai Beasts. Planting a cross and spinning it around would be enough.

"Feng Chen, want to take a break?"

After climbing three floors, even Yae Sakura was feeling a bit tired. There was no way Feng Chen wouldn't be.

If he didn't rest, Yae Sakura would definitely lecture him, so it was better to avoid that trouble.

"Okay, let's rest here for a bit, as long as the Herrscher of Erosion doesn't throw any more Honkai Beasts down."

Maybe he should change this habit. After all, a jinx could be deadly...

"Roar!"

A Honkai: Crush crawled down the hallway on the fourth floor, right into Feng Chen and Yae Sakura's line of sight.

"I... I'll shut up, I'll shut up right now."

He felt that if he kept talking, he might just summon the Herrscher of Erosion down to the third floor.

Fortunately, it was just a Honkai: Crush, not too difficult an opponent for Yae Sakura and Feng Chen.
