Chapter 107: Kirataka vs. Judgment-level Honkai Beast Kukulkan
After Kevin said this, the oppressive feeling that the giant snake gave to Kirataka was immediately reduced a lot.
——Honkai Beast [Kukulkan], a quantum-specialized Honkai Beast, possesses even stronger mobility and combat capabilities in the Quantum Sea.
At the same time, he is also the one with the most "friendly" face among his incarnations of Judgment-Class Honkai beast and is the most suitable one to communicate with people.
When Kevin realized that there were other people in this world bubble besides the Herrscher, he had already decided to adopt this incarnation.
Although it is not completely accurate, when it is not directly controlling and projecting power, its rank is roughly equivalent to that of a Judgment-level Honkai beast.
It is appropriate to use it to test the other party now.
"...I see."
Kirataka took a deep breath and prepared for the battle.
Even if Kevin himself doesn't exert any strength, he will still be facing a Judgment-level Honkai beast and cannot be careless.
From Nagazora to now, his strength has improved a lot, and he has already far surpassed the apparent B-level Schicksal Knight.
Being able to destroy an emperor-level Honkai beast alone would already qualify as an S-level Valkyrie by Schicksal. If they could defeat it...
"…"
Kirataka calmed down and stopped thinking about other things. He only thought about how to defeat the Honkai beast in front of him.
For him, this is indeed a good opportunity for testing.
The black wave caused by this Honkai beast has surrounded itself. Considering its snake-like appearance, I'm afraid these things are not something it can touch.
And those flowers, plants, and trees that had been swallowed up and decomposed indeed proved that they contained deadly toxins that could decompose things.
Before the dark waves submerged him, Kirataka exerted force on his feet and jumped into the sky in an instant.
Relying on his ability to control electromagnetism, he was able to stay in the air, so these poisonous tides posed no threat to him.
For now, let's take the first step of counterattack.
The opponent is a battle-hardened warrior, not an arrogant person like Watt who can easily find flaws, so taking shortcuts will not work.
And facing Kevin's test, he had no room to hold back his strength.
Kirataka narrowed his eyes slightly and activated [Projection Magic].
Projections of dozens of spirit spears immediately appeared beside him, floating in the air, aiming directly at the giant snake in front of him.
The power of Binding plus the acceleration of electromagnetic force...
"go!"
Kirataka waved his hand to release their restraints. Dozens of spirit spears suddenly shot out from the air and shot towards various parts of the giant snake Kukulkan's body.
The spiritual spear with the power of [Binding] hit the giant snake in an instant under extremely fast acceleration, but because of its size, the wound was quite superficial.
"Tsk, the damage is limited..."
"Well, strong vitality is also a basic ability possessed by the Judgment-level Honkai beast."
Thinking back to the second eruption and Benares, she suffered defeats along the way, but she was still able to fight again and again, and even survived for more than ten years without falling after Sirin's fall.
"...It looks like it's going to be a tough battle."
Kirataka dodged the giant snake's breath attack and wandered in the air.
If you want to cause effective damage in one go, you have to use the maximum-powerful railgun that you used in Manila before.
But that attack consumed too much energy, so he couldn't use it casually. He had to find the right time.
...
The other side of Homu Paradise.
Su took the two girls to a relatively safe place, from where they looked out over the castle where the giant snake was.
At the same time, countless data flashed in front of Su, indicating that she was rapidly overwriting the world bubble.
"Woo woo... People are forced to do this. Give me another hour. I can reset this world bubble in one hour!"
She was sweating profusely as she performed the operation quickly, putting all her energy and computing power into this aspect, so the various influences exerted on other aspects were weakened or even disappeared.
For example...
Sirin's temporarily obscured memories, and a certain Stigmata personality that was forced to sleep.
"Wait... Seele, what happened?!"
A sweet but somewhat anxious voice sounded in the blue-haired girl's mind, revealing her undisguised worry.
She had just woken up from a dream. Although she knew nothing at first and had many questions to ask, after she became aware of the oppressive feeling that was so close at hand, she decided to focus her attention on that feeling first.
This strong feeling of oppression... She had felt it before. She could always feel that there was a monster in the quantum sea.
However, at that time it was still quite far away from herself and Seele.
Now, when she was asleep, it actually came to Seele's side?!
"The other me... you woke up."
Seele responded in her mind with some surprise:
"Great, well... I want to go back and help Brother Kirataka."
After all, she would not let him face the monster alone, but if she went alone, she would probably just become a burden.
But if it was another me who was good at fighting... I should be able to help, right?
"Huh? Shouldn't we run away right now?!"
With her abilities, she should be able to find a way to escape even from that giant snake.
"No, Brother Kirataka came here to look for Seele. We can't just leave him here."
"...Okay, okay. I get it."
The voice in her head made a soft "tsk" sound.
Her impression of Kirataka only stayed on the brief exchanges in the Tower of Babylon, and she had no time to carefully review her memory of what happened between him and Seele afterward.
But since Seele has said so, she has no choice but to join the battlefield.
For some reason, the oppressive feeling of the giant snake seemed to have weakened a lot, which made her not as timid as before.
Control of the body shifted, the girl's eyes, as blue as the sea, turned bright red, and a sickle appeared out of thin air, which she waved casually in her hand.
Fighting and struggling are her instincts. Facing the upcoming battle, the girl became excited unconsciously.
"...Wait."
The purple-haired girl who had been silent beside her suddenly raised her head and called out to Seele, who was about to take action.
A white short dress and a purple long skirt suddenly appeared out of nowhere, replacing her clothes. There was also a black feather decoration on her head.
The pair of golden eyes looked towards the direction of the castle, and the girl said softly:
"Seele, I'll go back with you."
