Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

"Oh……"

After hearing Kevin's words, Himiko on the other end of the headset let out a long "oh" and fell into a brief silence.

"Then I hope you haven't been reincarnated by the time I go to hell, Kevin."

Then Kevin heard the conversation between Himiko and others in the headset.

"Captain Hen, Kevin wasted his time. The mission failed. Should we arrange for other people or evacuate now?"

Kevin held the microphone next to his ear and prepared to explain the current situation. But the next second, a soft hand pressed on the back of his hand and took the headset away from him.

Kevin froze up, a chill running down his tailbone to the back of his head. Hill had just touched him, which meant that if Hill had tried to do something to him, he would have turned into a pool of blood, deader than dead.

Hill ignored Kevin's stiff body and spoke softly to Himiko and the others in the headset:

"Your team member Kevin is fine for now, so there's no need to rush to send others in to die. Here's a suggestion for you. It's best to evacuate right now, the farther away from this city the better."

"Sixth Herrscher, can I understand that you are afraid?

The people are behind us, but we can't leave the Herrscher in front of us and walk away alone.

Don't try to threaten us with Kevin. The fire-chasing warriors are not afraid of death, especially our deputy captain! Even if you break his limbs and dig out his internal organs, he will not succumb to you! We are even more so!"

After saying that, Himiko hung up the phone, leaving Hill and Kevin dumbfounded.

Hill looked down at the communicator, then looked up at Kevin beside him whose face had turned green, and asked in disbelief, "Is your will really that strong, or... do you have a grudge against her?"

"No, maybe there was no hatred before, but now it starts to exist. However..."

Kevin took a deep breath, then stood up and took a few steps back, putting some distance between himself and Xier.

He raised his rifle again and pointed it at Hill who was sitting on the bed.

"Himiko's words reminded me that the relationship between you and me is not that of friends, but enemies."

"is it?"

Hill slowly stood up, and under the stressed-out gaze of Kevin, he placed his head against the muzzle of Kevin's rifle.

"So...are you going to kill me?"

There was some sadness in Kevin's eyes. Killing a child, a Herrscher with human emotions, was something he couldn't accept in his heart, but...

She is a herrscher and the murderer who massacred an entire city.

click-

The trigger was pulled and a hot bullet burst out of the barrel.

At the moment the bullet was fired, Kevin seemed to see the corners of Hill's mouth slightly raised. She was smiling...

Expansion——

The bullet pierced Hill's head, and hot blood and brain matter splattered on the wall behind Hill along the trajectory of the bullet.

The blood soaked the sheets, stained the white canvas with the color of sin.

Hill's body leaned back and fell heavily to the ground. His powerless arm, by chance, fell into the hands of the living dead named "Bronya" beside him due to gravity.

Bronya's eyes were slightly closed, full of holiness like an angel. However, Hill's head was pierced, and the blood that flowed out covered her eyes, which had not yet closed. She looked like a ghost who died with her eyes open, which was disgusting and scary.

An angel and a demon were lying quietly on the ground, holding hands and smiling happily.

Click——

The rifle in Kevin's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound. He held the wall beside him with one hand, and his body was so weak that he wanted to kneel down. He kept gasping for air, as if his heart had been hit hard.

It is known information that the Sixth Herrscher can be reborn.

But Kevin knew he couldn't do it anymore... He could kill the Honkai Apostle without blinking an eye, but he couldn't kill a poor little girl who just wanted to resurrect her sister.

His body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pressing down on his heart so hard that he couldn't breathe. He trembled and held onto the wall, turning around and trying to escape.

Kevin regretted accepting this task so easily. He also realized that his heart was not as cold as his face now.

He has obtained the most important information for this mission...

Hill had no intention of resisting or fighting. After she knew that her power could not bring back the departed soul, she did not want to live anymore...

But if Hill is not killed, Hill will kill everyone after dawn.

Because she is kind.

The beacon has been deployed, and Kevin can't bring himself to kill Hill, so he can only rely on his comrades to kill him.

But before he had taken a few steps, Hill, who had died from a blow to the head he had shot himself, appeared in front of him again.

The school uniform that was originally stained red with blood has been cleaned by Hill using Honkai energy.

The wound on her head had completely healed, but the blood that had not yet coagulated was still flowing on her face, dripping slowly.

The moment Kevin saw Hill, his legs went weak and he sat down, backing away using his hands and feet.

"Are you running away? Why? Aren't you the strongest and most determined among them? I didn't even resist, so why did you start running away?"

Hill pressed Kevin who was retreating step by step. She couldn't understand, wasn't she the target they were talking about?

Why did the executioner drop his knife and run away before swinging it?

"Oh... Are you scared by my resurrection? Don't be afraid, big brother, this is just a small power of the Herrscher..."

Hill seemed to understand something. He clenched his hands, pointed them at his chest and dug out the core of the Herrscher of Death from his body.

Blood flowed out from Hill's chest like a stream.

Having lost his Herrscher core, Hill fell weakly to his knees.

"Now... I can't heal myself, and I can't be resurrected... Can you kill me? Can you kindly end my suffering?"

Holding the bloody Herrscher Core, Hill seemed to feel no pain, and crawled towards Kevin while crying and laughing.

After seeing the tragic scene that Hill was so sad that she had lost the light in her eyes and even begged others to kill her.

Kevin's heart, which had already been unable to accept the fact that he had killed a little girl, seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer and was completely shattered.

He stood there with empty eyes, and he couldn't think of whether to run away or just stare blankly.

Suddenly, Hill's voice became sharp, and she bared her teeth and shouted, "Why?!

Why do people persecute and beat us while we are alive?

Now we want death, but you are pretending not to do it!"
