Chapter Twenty-Eight: Life Hangs by a Thread

"Is this what you call Honkaimon?" looked at the canine-type Honkaimon that stood up again, Yae Sakura asked Otto on the side.

"There are two ways to give birth to Honkaimon." Two shots were fired head-on at Honkaimon, and Otto took the moment to explain

"One is the mutation of beasts infected with Honkai energy, and the other is the accumulation of a large amount of Honkai out of thin air."

"So what's going on?" Faintly shielding Otto behind her, Yae Sakura continued to ask more.

"The former still retains the appearance of a beast to a certain extent, while the latter is completely a giant god soldier"

The canine Honkaimon seemed to be angry at the two of them ignoring its conversation, and its massive mouth opened with several whistling fire charges.

Drawing the sword from her waist, Yae Sakura swung at the incoming fireball as Otto gazed in amazement.

"How is that possible!" Looking at the flames that spread out on either side, Otto exclaimed. Is this still human?

Over the past four years, her sword skills have shown unimaginable results, and her jade-like hands have been stained with thick calluses from day after day.

The waves of fire spread in both directions, and the scorching currents pulled the distracted Otto back.

"Don't be distracted, you come to cover me" seems to see that Otto's frontal combat ability is not strong, Yae Sakura said.

He pulled a second knife from his waist and disappeared like the wind. The figure running fast even brought up the afterimage

"Bang Bang" Otto pointed his gun at Honkai and fired several shots in quick succession, the bullet with a slight arc of electricity also had a slight paralyzing effect.

"Starburst Air Flow Slash!" Yae Sakura, who was approaching the Honkaimon, shouted, and then ......

……………………

……………… The above is purely a mouthpiece

Yae Sakura, who approached the Honkai Beast's body, slammed on the ground, and she spun with the force.

1 lap, 2 laps, 3 laps...... Spun three times in the air, she slashed six times in a row.

Crimson blood burst out of the Honkaimon's chest, and six more slash marks of varying shades appeared on it.

Enduring the excruciating pain, it raised its front paws and swung towards Yae Sakura. Although the claws of dogs are not as sharp as those of cats, they are also not to be underestimated.

Four shimmering metallic claws struck with the sound of a whistling wind, and their target was Yaezakura, which was briefly stiffened below.

Reluctantly standing the double sword cross in front of her, she waited for the moment when the giant claw swung down.

"Bang!" With the sound of gunfire, a blue-purple electric current quickly approached. The crackling sound of fried beans makes the scalp tingle, leaving a charred mark on the ground through which the beam of light passes.

The Honkai Beast that was hit by the "Wow" let out a miserable cry, and the momentum of the attack was also paused.

Taking advantage of this effort, Yae Sakura quickly retreated. The attack just now was a bit too reckless.

"Roar" The Honkaimon, who was constantly harassed by Otto, let out a roar, and its dark brown scale armor lit up with strange red lines, and if you looked closely, you could see the traces of flow.

Flames erupted around him, and the Honkai beast pounced forward.

In the next moment, the canine-shaped Honkaimon burst out with its long-accumulated power, cloaked in flames and struck towards Yae Sakura.

The speed at which the Honkai Beast is advancing is beyond imagination, and it cannot be avoided with the speed of Yae Sakura. Kicking forward with her right foot, she stopped her retreat and charged towards Honkaimon.

Holding the sword in each hand, she approached death without hesitation.

"I'm here~ Rin! No matter where you go next to heaven or hell, your sister will be with you. She smiled with tears in her eyes, seemingly completely unsure of death.

"That stupid woman!" Otto shouted, then lunged towards Yae Sakura.

Completely ignoring the protests of the brain, Otto exerted almost 100% of his physical strength, regardless of the load on his body.

……

…………

The scorching breath swept overhead, and the two prostrate on the ground barely managed to avoid the impact.

"The body is so heavy, is this what death feels like?" Yae Sakura, who was crushed underneath, thought so.

"Ha~haha." Otto was gasping for breath, ignoring the after-effects of his body's protests, and now that he didn't faint, it was the result of his persistence.

"That's not right!" Yae Sakura suddenly realized something, and she jerked over. Otto on his back was pushed aside by her.

"What are you doing......" came to an abrupt end when she saw the shocking burn on Otto's back.

"Ha~Ha, you stupid woman! Show me the time even if you want to die! Young Master Ben won't be buried with you! Somewhat angry, Otto roared completely uncultured.

"......" Yae Sakura was silent, and now that she knew the truth, she felt that she had no motivation to live.

"Sober me up, you idiot! Are you going to even take the life of the guy over there? Otto struggled to raise his hand and point to the tears that were showing half of his head in the distance.

"I see," got up, carrying Otto to the side of the tree and letting him lean back, Yae Sakura picked up the two knives on the ground again.

"Do you really get it?" Otto, who was leaning against the trunk of the tree, thought in his heart that it would be a good thing for him that Yae Sakura died. But if it's now, even if you don't do it, you will even die.

Inserting the two knives into the scabbards at her waist, Yae Sakura half-crouched up and made a gesture of drawing her swords at any moment.

The Honkai Beast, which had crashed into the air, turned around and attacked Yae Sakura again, and the momentum seemed to be even more ferocious than the last time.

Looking at the Honkai Beast that was constantly approaching her, Yae Sakura's heart was not as calm as it seemed, and the slight sweat oozing out and the right hand clenching the hilt of the sword were enough to prove it.

When the distance between the two sides was less than two meters, she finally moved, and at this moment she could even easily smell the stench from the mouth of the Honkai Beast.

The scabbard rubbed at high speed brought sparks, and even the afterimage of the arm that drew the knife quickly could only be seen.

"Blade Flash!" shouted the name of the move loudly, and the Honkai Beast in front of him suddenly stopped, and blood spilled out again

She didn't stop there, she kept taking out the knife, even if she was sweating profusely and clenching her teeth, even if there was a creaking sound in her arms, she didn't stop.

With a crisp "pop", the scabbard in his hand cracked because it couldn't withstand the high-speed friction, and Yae Sakura's attack was forced to stop.

Despite being covered in blood, Honkaimon remained standing, its scales helping it withstand most damage.

On the other hand, Yae Sakura, at the moment, she can't even hold the knife steadily. Her trembling right hand was unconscious, and although she could still hold a sword in her left hand, she was not very good at two-handed swords.

"Huh" Otto laboriously raised the gun in his hand, aiming it at the Honkai Beast from afar.

Because of his trembling and weak body, Otto's aim time became extraordinarily long. When he finally fired a shot, Honkaimon had already noticed and dodged it.

Just when this seemed to be a certain death situation, a blood-colored spear pulled out a thin red line in the distance, and its target was the dying Honkai Beast.

The sound of "poof" inserting into the flesh was clear to the ears, and it was symbolically resisted twice by the Honkai Beast that pierced its head before losing its life.

Looking at the white-haired figure that was gradually running towards him, Otto slowly closed his eyes.

“……”

"Hey, Otto. What happened to you! Wake up! Karen kept shaking Otto's body, and Yae Sakura also stood aside with her trembling right hand.

"Sister, big brother, what's wrong with him," Tears who ran from a distance asked.

Looking at Otto, who had not reacted for a long time, Karen lowered her head and bit her lip.

"I'm killing you! It's not even reassuring to sleep," Otto replied, though faintly, but he did reply.

"Great," the excited Karen hugged Otto tightly, completely ignoring Otto's injuries.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, please don't hurt me again"

Looking at the two of them who were making a big fuss, Yae Sakura lowered her head and left gloomily......
