One-man Army

Mei, who had been influenced by the Honkai will, stared at the Storm Templar in front of her with a cold gaze.

"Disappear you insect!"

After Herrscher Mei said that, the Storm Templar which was over a hundred meters tall and would usually take a squad of A-rank Valkyries to kill, suddenly stopped as if it had been intimidated because Herrscher Mei released an intense purple lightning destructively towards the storm Templar.

In front of that purple lightning, the Storm Templar, who looked extremely powerful, pose no resistance at all and instantly dispersed, disappearing into countless light particles.

Unlike other Honkai Beasts that would disappear automatically after getting killed, this Storm Templar was instantly turned into particles by Herrscher Mei's extremely destructive lightning.

Meanwhile, on Himeko's side. She was initially on a mission somewhere else, but she hurriedly returned after hearing about the large-scale Honkai Eruption that occurred in Nagazora City.

Himeko, who was inside the Hyperion, saw the purple lightning. After all, in such a dark night, a bright purple lightning like that would be too striking.

"Major Himeko, the concentration of Honkai Energy has surged up and all of the Honkai Beasts and Zombies in the vicinity seems to be gathering towards the source. It's too late to back down now, Major."

After hearing her subordinate's report, a frown formed on Himeko's face.

"The Honkai Energy concentration had already reached 500 HW and now it's increasing again? Tsk! Looks like we really hit the Jackpot."

Himeko the showed a determined expression, "However, in my dictionary, there doesn't exist the word 'Retreat'."

Up high in the sky, the Hyperion sped towards the source of the Honkai Energy in Nagazora City, following Major Himeko's orders.

__

On the surface of the ground, below the ME company's branch building, which was now empty, several huge, dark blue Mecha(Titans) suddenly burst up from the ground, smashing through the concrete walls of the building and arriving on the highway, their mechanical feet collided with the ground.

*Stomp!* *Stomp!*

Different noises came from the highway. Those noised belong to the large Honkai Beasts and Mechas that were running at an unimaginable speed towards the source of the Honkai Energy (Herrscher Mei).

In addition, there are numerous Zombies and several Honkai Beasts that had slipped through the net.

If you look down from the sky of Nagazora City right now, you will find several pitch black spot approaching in the same direction in waves, as if something is pulling them all in.

They were all after Mei, who had turned into a Herrscher, to either kill her or capture her.

Even the Honkai Beasts and Zombies, who were supposed to be subordinate to Herrschers, became like this.

After all, Artificial Herrschers like Mei weren't apostles of destruction chosen by the 'Will of Honkai' at all and they had no magnanimity towards something like that.

Herrscher Mei, who had started this kind of situation in Nagazora City, stared at the ruins of the building next to her with her cold purple eyes.

"If you aren't dead yet, quickly get out of there. Your endurance and tenacity are like those of a cockroach, Human."

"Cough! Cough! I didn't expect Herrscher Mei's to have such a poisonous tongue."

Kouro pushed the debris pressing down on his body and except for his torn clothes, no serious injuries could be found on his body.

[HP: 7,200/9,600]

That attack had reduced his HP by a total of 2400 points.

He felt the Storm Templar was too much. With such a large body, not making any abnormal sound before actually attacking, so that he, who was blocked by the walls of the room couldn't dodge first.

Although the Strom Templar's sudden attack was frightening, a Lance is not really a weapon that is designed for slashing.

He only used his Nitro Crystal Greatsword  as a shield to block the Templar's savage Lance.

Apart from a few broken ribs due to the impact of the clash, there were no serious injuries present on his body, with his astonishing healing factor/ability, Kouro was sure that his broken ribs would heal within a few hours.

He was only stunned for a while, otherwise, he would have immediately come out before being hit by a large debris and Mei wouldn't have turned into a Herrscher because of the enormous psychological stress.

Herrscher Mei didn't respond to Kouro's words, she just glanced at him and after making sure he wasn't dying, her indifferent, purple eyes shifted to look up in the sky.

A massive, aerial battleship suddenly appeared.

Hyperion, which suddenly appeared in the sky and clearly had bad designs towards her, caused Herrscher Mei's eyes to grow cold and purple lightning began to dance around her body, wanting to shoot Hyperion down.

Kouro interrupted her when he saw this, "Stop it, Mei. Leave this one to me."

Herrscher Mei was not angry being interrupted by Kouro, she just looked at Kouro before replying.

"Leave it to you? With your current condition, do you think you can handle that aerial battle ship ad well as the Honkai Beasts, Zombies, and the Robots that are currently heading her? Well… according to that feeble coward's memories, those Robots are called Titans."

The so-called feeble coward Herrscher Mei is referring to is the real Raiden Mei.

It seems the two personalities don't quite get along.

But Kouro didn't have time to think about that right now.

He glanced at the aerial battleship (Hyperion) that was quietly levitating in the sky and seemed to only be observing the current situation here.

Finally, he focused on the approaching Zombies, Honkai Beasts, and Titans without noticing that his purple eyes were currently glowing brightly.

Kouro walked forward slowly before stabbing the Nitro Crystal Greatsword on the ground as f to say that this was his territory, he then took out Alloy Gluttony from his inventory and spoke to Herrscher Mei without looking back.

"If you can stay where you are and protect Kiana who is passed out over there with your awakened aura, then that's enough."

Kouro guessed that Herrscher Mei shared her memories with the real Mei.

Herrscher Mei doesn't seem to have the crazy idea of trying to destroy everything, which proves that she wouldn't hurt Kiana. Kouro also asked Herrscher Mei to protect Kiana who is Theresa's niece, just in case the Hyperion, currently commanded by Major Himeko, fires a laser cannon.

The more variables there are, the more necessary it is to pay attention to various details.

Herrscher Mei thought for a moment before taking a step back and stand beside the unconscious Kiana.

"Don't let me down, Human."

Hearing Herrscher Mei's words, Kouro only nodded as a reply and tightly gripped the Alloy Gluttony Sword before rushing forward to face the incoming enemy army.

The largest part of this army, which were the Zombies, couldn't even block Kouro's attacks properly.

Kouro slashed at his enemies while activating the sword's skill [Alloy Boomerang] that launched a whirlwind of swords in the midst of the Zombie army, dozens of Zombies hit by [Alloy Boomerang] instantly died and disappeared into dust.

He even occasionally threw the Nitro Crystal Greatswords at the approaching Honkai Beast and Titans.

[You have leveled up]

The strongest part of this army are the large Titans that are like Chariot-class Honkai Beasts.

In fact, the Titans weren't in the same team as the Honkai Beasts and the Zombies. While in the ranks of the army, many Zombies tried to attack the Titan robots, but they were immediately crushed by the Titans who ran like humans, the combat power of the Titans is evident from there.

Looking at the Titans, Kouro who was forcefully cleaning up the Undead army, stretched his neck, and then said.

"Hmm.. I wonder, can I level up by destroying these robots?"
