Time in a collapsing world

This is the largest city in Europe and the core city occupied by Destiny. After maintaining peace for many years, it is finally invaded by monsters again today.

In the worst-hit areas of the city, dense swarms of Honkai beasts were crawling all over the city, and there were almost no living people to be seen.

People either left early under the evacuation of the Valkyries and Knights, or stayed here forever.

Fortunately, the Yae family’s residence was not included for the time being.

But if the situation continues to develop, no one in this city will be spared.

Kallen, feeling a little worried, ran out with Grandpa Arthur in a black robe to look for someone. At the door of Yae's house, she happened to meet Theophile who was pulling Yae Rin out.

"Rin, where are you going?"

He looked at the expressionless Theophile curiously. Even Kallen had failed to establish a good relationship with her, so he had no choice but to ask Yaezaki Rin.

Now 40% of the city area has fallen and the epidemic will soon spread over, so Kallen wants to take them to the Kaslana family's refuge area.

Although it is likely that the invasion of the Honkai beasts could not be stopped there without my father, there are enough escape routes and they can be moved to at any time.

"Sister Karen? Sister Theophile said it's not safe here anymore and wants to take me away temporarily."

Yae Rin was isolated from the news and had no idea of ​​the danger outside, so she still looked confused.

The attack by Honkai beasts on Tianming was not all-round, and there were several directions to evacuate the city.

However, there are guards from the Apocalis family watching there, and they will most likely not let Yae Rin, who is a member of Yae Ri's family, leave.

Grandpa Arthur, who didn't know Theophile's strength, persuaded him, "Come with us. Lady Saint is here for this purpose. Let's go to our family's territory. It will be safe there."

"..."

Yae Rin looked at Theophile, waiting for her response.

"Let's go."

Theophile spoke briefly and did not reject the kindness of the two humans in front of her. Perhaps out of some kind of beast instinct, she knew that staying and waiting for the crisis to pass was better than forcibly evacuating the city.

"Okay, then follow us! Grandpa Arthur, can you lead the way?"

After Karen finished speaking, she thought of something else, "Oh, by the way, I don't know if Otto has left. Grandpa Arthur, can we go find him?"

“Lady Saint, there is no need to worry about the boy from the Apocalis family. Although he has no status, he is not someone who can be easily abandoned…”

As Grandpa Arthur spoke, he seemed unable to bear the gaze of Kallen's big eyes, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, Lady Saint, please speed up, we need to evacuate this area as soon as possible."

"Uh-huh!"

Kallen nodded repeatedly.

Grandpa Arthur looked at Yae Rin and Theophile again and asked if he wanted to help carry Yae Rin, who seemed to be unable to walk fast, but Theophile refused.

So the group headed to Otto's residence.

Unexpectedly, although there was no one at the door of the mansion, there was still some movement coming from Otto's room.

"The servants have all left, but the boy from the Apokalis family hasn't left yet?"

Grandpa Arthur was stunned. Could it be that he guessed wrong? Was Otto really a complete outcast of the family?

Karin didn't think too much about it. She rushed in with her petite body, not even bothering to knock on the door. She kicked it, and the terrible strange force acted on it, kicking her out directly.

The person inside seemed to be frightened and looked towards the door with horror on his face.

The weak blond boy and the sturdy girl who rushed in looked at each other, and then Grandpa Arthur, Yae Rin and Theophile appeared behind Kallen.

After a long while, Otto, who felt a little guilty for some reason, finally let out a sigh, "Karen, why are you here?"

"I have to ask you this, Otto. Why are you still here? And you are all alone..."

Karen glanced at the painting in Otto's hand that he had no time to hide when she rushed in, and understood something, "Oh~ I understand~"

"Cough cough..."

Otto coughed with a red face, trying to hide something, but when he saw Yae Rin behind Kallen looking over here curiously, he immediately put the painting in his hand on the bed and covered it with the quilt.

"Sister Karen, what is that?"

Perhaps she knew that Otto would not answer her even if she asked, so Yae Rin, who only saw a pinch of pink, asked Kallen directly. She always felt that brother Otto was hiding some big secret from her.

However, facing Otto's pleading eyes, Kallen would not disclose his secrets casually, and dealt with it by avoiding the question.

Grandpa Arthur and Theophile saw it, but neither said anything.

However, the latter's eyes became somewhat scary, staring at Otto as if he wanted to poke a hole in him.

Otto was so embarrassed that he tapped his toes. He had come back secretly without telling his family members this time, thinking that he could take away his precious paintings before those Honkai beasts arrived, or at least hide them well. He never expected that the kind-hearted Kallen would come up with a group of people, and kick the door without saying a word, not giving him any time to react.

"Now that we've found the person, let's go."

Grandpa Arthur said, "Otto, since you are not traveling with your family, why don't you just come with us? The Kaslana family can still protect your safety."

"OK……"

With outsiders present, Otto did not dare to take the painting on the bed with him. Instead, he found an excuse to let the others wait outside the door for a few minutes, and then quickly hid it in the secret compartment on the floor, hoping that no Honkai beast would step on it and destroy it...

After walking out of the door, under Kallen's teasing gaze and Theophile's cold stare, Otto was like a wooden man, not daring to say anything extra.

Although a few people can think of themselves as happy people...but this situation is too embarrassing for him, right?

Fortunately, Grandpa Arthur, a mature man, knew that now was not the time to pry into other people's habits. He used other topics to divert the attention of several people, and then led the group to run quickly towards the Kaslana family's refuge.

At the same time, humans in the city built a line of defense against Honkai beasts.

A bolt of fire fell from the sky and directly hit the densely populated area of ​​Honkai beasts, burning everything in that open space to ashes.

The Valkyries and Knights who were still struggling to hold on couldn't help but cheer briefly when they saw this scene, but they were soon drowned out by a new wave of Honkai beasts.

On the rooftop of a mansion, an old man holding dual guns that did not belong to this era scanned everything here with a cold face, and pulled the trigger again at the location where the Honkai beasts gathered.

Although he really wanted to check on the condition of his precious daughter, he couldn't just ignore the situation here and evacuate.
