Volume 1: Chapter 51 Kiana: I can't do anything
🕑 Added 2025-04-29 15:31:46 +0000 UTC"hiss……"
There were some heavy breathing sounds.
Black spears appeared beside the masked saber man.
Since these are bugs that have evolved resistance to physical attacks, they can now use the Originium techniques and Demonic Fragments that were previously difficult to use!
However--
“Haaaaaah!”
The scorching flames came from behind.
Although no one knew where Broken Tooth came from and where he brought some of his kind from, the reaction of the internal guards, as if they were facing a great enemy, seemed to confirm something.
Talulah is no idiot.
In this situation, of course we would choose to attack together with these little guys!
Unreservedly mobilizing her Originium skills, the Dragon Girl attacked an Ursus guard present from behind.
“…”
The cold current swept silently towards another Ursus Internal Guard.
Yelena also reacted.
Even though I don’t know where these cute little guys came from, there is no doubt that—
They are here to help themselves.
The Carter girl made the same choice as Talulah.
“…”
The Deep Sea Hunter's hand still did not leave the hilt of the heavy sword.
She still remembered that a so-called Ursus internal guard was knocked away by Broken Tooth, and then the small springtail also rushed into the snow and wind.
The howling cold wind drowned out the sounds of battle.
"Kiana, stay behind me."
Skadi protected the white-haired ball behind her.
There is no need to worry about Zerger's safety, after all, he is her compatriot.
But Kiana... well, too fragile.
"Okay, okay..."
Kiana Kaslana held the child in her arms carefully.
The battle scene in the distance... to the white-haired ball, it was like a fight between gods.
Flames, cold currents, black fog...
Each one has something extraordinary about it.
Each has his own unique tricks.
His fighting spirit and patience are even more amazing.
Well, I am the only one who seems to have nothing.
The white-haired ball was drawing circles on the ground in frustration.
She might just be a rough woman who knows a little bit about fighting.
Oh, there seems to be someone else who is the same as me?
The girl raised her head and looked at Skadi.
"What's wrong, Kiana?"
With a glimpse of a black spear coming towards him, the Deep Sea Hunter drew out his heavy sword and swung it lightly -
The nearby snow and wind retreated along with the black spears.
“…”
Kiana Kaslana turned her head stiffly.
Skadi is also a superman, so there's nothing to worry about.
Little Zerg is better.
Rub the little kid's cheek hard.
"Zerg, you're still the cutest!"
Kiana Kaslana said so.
"Zerg is the cutest!"
The little swarm master cheered.
Broken Tooth has suppressed the high-energy organism that was knocked away, and it will probably be able to drag the high-energy organism into the underground hatchery soon.
The two high-energy organisms in front of him were also entangled by the springtails brought by Broken Tooth.
The attacks of Talulah and Yelena put them at a disadvantage.
The spiritual energy overflowing due to excitement even caused all communications on the battlefield to be unconsciously blocked.
"hiss……"
The two inner guards in the battle temporarily repelled the insects' attack and found an opportunity to regroup.
"Daughter of Koshelna, what are you doing?"
An Imperial Blade looked at Talulah and Yelena.
The snow monsters in the distance were holding crossbows and providing battlefield support.
"Of course, I'll kill you Ursus lackeys!"
Talulah said coldly.
The sudden reversal of the situation caught her by surprise.
Broken Tooth’s fighting power... is even higher than she imagined. He knocked an inner guard away at the beginning and has been fighting with him until now.
And those of its kind it brought with it tightly entangled the two inner guards.
Although the sabers of the inner guards left marks on the little guys' bodies, it seemed unlikely that they would cause fatal injuries.
"Hiss... You are standing on the opposite side of the Terra continent! Do you know what they are?"
The inner guard looked at the hideous bugs and couldn't understand why Talulah and the other lowly infected people would stand beside these bugs.
Bloody facts in the past have proven that these insects are simply incapable of communicating.
The only thing they do is devour all life.
Only a madman would believe in these bugs and consider it an honor to offer his own flesh for them to eat.
It would be fine if those lowly infected people didn’t know about it, but didn’t Koshelna teach his daughter the relevant knowledge?
“I just know they’re helping us.”
Talulah raised her hand.
The flames grew hotter.
The dragon girl looked at the two inner guards coldly.
Those cute little guys are of the same species as Broken Tooth, and Broken Tooth is Zerg's friend, so they are also her friends!
"Hiss... These bugs will only devour all life. If we fall, you won't be able to survive!"
The guards looked at them.
Communications were blocked for unknown reasons.
Well, someone has to bring back news that the bugs have reappeared!
Otherwise, the Ursus Empire will suffer heavy damage in the new round of insect swarms... or even collapse!
"Humph, you lackey of Ursus, don't try to sow discord."
Talulah swung the flaming sword in her hand.
There's nothing much to say.
Before, the inner guards surrounded her, but now——
It was she and the little ones who surrounded these sharp blades of the empire.
"hiss……"
The guards couldn't understand.
Talulah's potential has already been partially revealed.
Her attacks, like those of these bugs, must be taken seriously.
The saber that was previously stuck in one bug has been bitten off by another bug.
That is a saber forged with Ursus’ cutting-edge technology!
Its materials are even used to manufacture naval guns on high-speed warships!
And these bugs—they bit it.
Same as described in the past.
Their claws and fangs are powerful enough to shred any defense.
Once upon a time, the Ursus could use naval guns and artillery to eliminate large numbers of insects.
But now——
These bugs' resistance to physical attacks has been greatly enhanced.
Although the resistance to Originium skills has decreased a bit, it only turns the Originium skills from being almost ineffective to being able to cause wounds.
Add to that their swift movement speed and endless numbers...
The sharp blades of the empire only felt their hearts grow heavy.
The next insect tide——
Perhaps only if all of Terra unites together can we resist.
The message must be passed back!
One guard nodded to the other.
“…”
The guard who was being watched knew what choice his colleague was going to make.
The news that the bugs have reappeared must be passed on at all costs.
He is willing to sacrifice his life for this, even if it means liberating the country directly.
But if you want to get out, you may have to do something.
The inner guard glanced at the white-haired civilian protected by the white-haired, red-eyed girl and the small figure in her arms.
Taking advantage of his colleague's sacrifice, he took the opportunity to take the two infected civilians hostage.
He did not forget that there was another existence in this mine——
The most valiant incarnation of war in Ursus.
There were two other internal guards who were responsible for confronting them in order to create an opportunity to contact Koshelna's daughter.
But now it seems that it helped him escape.
The inner guard, who was ready to sacrifice himself, stopped his attack.
The Zerglings that found the opportunity all pounced on the other party, trying to end his life.
"Yelena, back off!"
Talulah sensed something was wrong.
She sensed danger.
Koshelna didn't say much about these terrible guys.
The Dragon Girl didn't know what the other party's abilities were.
But leaving now is the best option!
"Everyone else, retreat quickly!"
He ignited a torrent of flames in an attempt to buy time for his side to evacuate.
"Um?"
The tiny swarm master sensed the high-energy reaction.
He looked at an inner guard.
A huge amount of energy has accumulated in its body, and it is becoming unstable.
“Don’t waste it!”
Zerg looked at the inner guard.
And the inner guard who was planning to self-destruct to create a country happened to look at the little child at this moment.
There was no mercy in his eyes.
For Ursus, everything can be sacrificed.
The same is true for this young, lowly infected child...
“…”
The erosion of the evil fragments in the body suddenly stopped.
The inner guard seemed to see something.
The eyes beneath the mask suddenly widened.
His colleagues planned to hold the white-haired civilian and the child hostage as bargaining chips to leave.
"hiss……"
Want to say something.
But I couldn't move my body.
An unknown energy controlled all his actions.
The terrifying monster set its sights on him.
Those terrifying pupils seemed to be emitting something called "appetite".
Those bugs...it turns out they have a master.
An extremely terrifying guess emerged in inner guard's mind.
And those ignorant infected people don't know what kind of monster they are walking with.
If these infected people were to take that monster to various places on Terra...
All life will be destroyed.
"boom!"
A sharp sound was heard in the sky.
Then a spear fell from the sky and nailed the inner guard to the spot.
However, the huge noise and the flying dust also gave another inside guard an opportunity.
The Deep Sea Hunter's heavy sword cut off one of the inner guard's arms.
Skadi had originally intended to chop him in half.
But the inner guard barely changed his trajectory, so that the fatal attack only cut off one arm.
But the blade of the empire did not care.
The Wendigo has noticed this place.
The bugs were attracted away by their colleagues.
Talulah and her fellow infected were on the other side.
The woman holding the heavy sword blocked the direction of retreat, and behind her was a hostage who could be used for hostage-taking.
An arm is nothing to pay for it.
As long as he could pass the message back, he would have completed his mission even if he fell.
"Get out of my way!"
Kiana Kaslana's eyes widened.
She subconsciously protected the little child in her arms with one hand and punched the attacking figure with the other.
He drew his saber and tried to chop off the girl's head.
Rather than capturing this resisting civilian, it would be better to take another hostage.
Young children are the easiest to deal with, and are more likely to keep Patriot and the Wendigo at bay.
"you!"
The fist was dodged, but the arm was cut by the saber with a long wound, and blood flowed out.
A golden cross replaced the sky-blue pupils.
Kiana Kaslana noticed the inner guard's intentions.
He wants to capture Zerg!
Anger rose from within.
The unknown force surged up again.
“…”
The internal guards realized that this white-haired civilian... was not a simple guy either.
When he looked into the eyes of the golden cross, he inexplicably felt a little palpitated.
The saber flew out of his hand, and then the only remaining hand grabbed the arm of the small figure.
Black mist emerged from the broken arm.
That was the reaction after the demonic fragments came into contact with the real dimension.
If he could not get back in time to repair his combat uniform, his only fate would be to commit suicide to preserve his last dignity as a human being.
But the inner guard knew that he could not go back.
But all we have to do is pass the information back.
"No!"
His arms felt empty, and the saber was about to stab the girl when it was knocked away by the strange spear.
Kiana Kaslana wanted to catch up with that figure.
But the internal guards quickly rushed into the snowstorm holding the little child.
The black mist that spread along the way distorted the surrounding environment and also delayed the pace of pursuit.
“…”
The white-haired ball clenched his teeth tightly.
She found herself unable to do anything at this moment.
The anger in my heart grew stronger and stronger.
"There is no Honkai energy in this world. Stop extracting the energy from the core!"
It seemed like the voice of the inner demon was ringing in my heart.
If Kiana drains all the energy from the Herrscher Core, she will probably fall into a deep sleep for an unknown period of time!
In this world, it is impossible to connect to the imaginary space, and the Herrscher's core has become a rootless tree, and the Honkai energy stored in it is limited!
"Shut up!"
Kiana Kaslana stared at the inner guard's leaving figure.
She wanted to catch up.
“…”
But the body was held down.
Turning around, I saw it was Skadi.
"Don't chase after him."
The deep-sea hunter shook his head.
"Why?"
The white-furred ball stared at her.
"Because... we need to meet up with father first, and then chase after that guy."
Yelena said after a few seconds of silence.
She is no match for that guy.
Chasing after them alone would only lead to death.
"…Yelena is right."
Talulah clenched her hand tightly.
Reason told her that she should first meet up with the Wendigo, and then look for the inner guard and the little child he took away.
At best, he could only barely fight against the inner guards, but he had no way of stopping them from killing the child.
The opponent's arm was broken, leaving behind a conspicuous black mist.
Although he didn't know what this bad-feeling fog was, it formed a trace that was enough to track him.
"I want to catch up."
Kiana Kaslana said in an unusually calm voice.
She couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
Even if it's useless, I have to chase after it.
"Don't worry about Zerg."
The Deep Sea Hunter looked at the black mist that was left behind.
Their little compatriots are more complicated than they thought.
Otherwise, Ishamara wouldn't have been talking nonsense every day and trying to instigate her to do it.
A being that can be valued by the Sea God's consciousness is definitely not as cute as it looks.
