Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

No matter what struggles they make, they can't escape this fate.

The saddest thing is to lose heart; at this moment, there is absolutely nothing that can be done.

Grip the hilt tightly, and the blade swung down.

Just as the sword was about to strike the bell, it deflected, instantly severing the man's arm.

The girl's eyes regained some of their luster, and she gritted her teeth, pressing her advantage.

However, this was all in vain.

Suddenly, my body stiffened and I could not move.

Compared to Nightingale's gentle and tender nature, this kind of control is extremely domineering, showing no regard for personal wishes whatsoever.

Kiana was defeated in an instant, not even in one round.

Her body was controlled, and she raised the demon sword.

The next moment, blood stained the ground.

The girl, Ling, was pierced through the chest by the demon sword and quickly lost her breath.

Kiana collapsed to the ground, the demon sword slipping from her hand and falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

She stared in disbelief at the blood on her hands, her pupils constricting.

Bell died.

I killed Rin...

What exactly did I do?

The nightmare resurfaced, and her hands were stained with blood countless times before, just like now.

"Hehehe... He keeps saying he wants to protect them, but he killed his own family."

"You're nothing but a fake, naively believing you can change everything..."

The man sneered, fanning the flames from the side.

Before he could even feel happy, Mei slashed his neck from behind with a sword.

"Kiana, don't believe him. This isn't reality."

The man did not die, but turned into a cloud of black mist, which condensed into a warrior wearing samurai armor.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Mei was immediately knocked back several meters.

"How pitiful. If I hadn't said anything, I would have naively thought I was a pure and innocent person."

"What do you think would happen if your friends knew the real you?"

Volume 1: Chapter 87 Hi, how have you been?

"Ouch, that hurts..."

In the second round, the katana snapped on the spot.

Fortunately, Mei was caught by Theresa in time, and she almost fell off the platform.

Upon entering the consciousness space, Judah's abilities were largely restricted.

Even so, Theresa still chose to fight at close range.

Since the other party has become a suicide squad member, they must have the weaknesses of a suicide squad member.

Unexpectedly, the palace guard vanished instantly and suddenly reappeared behind her, interrupting her.

Then, in pain, she slammed her head against the wall, causing the wooden planks to crack.

Her power was diluted countless times, and her opponent had the advantage of timing and location. The moment they clashed, Theresa knew the outcome.

"You guys really went all out for this fake."

Having repelled the two men, the man, now a deadly assassin, was extremely pleased with himself.

Now that the sacrifice has been completed, the gods must have accepted their meager offerings with a smile.

He slowly walked to Kiana's side. "Poor thing, she can't even speak anymore."

Kiana slowly stood up, and the Honkai energy in the air became increasingly concentrated.

The man noticed something was wrong, and upon closer inspection, a sense of dread instantly overwhelmed him.

"you....?!"

Before he could utter a word, he instantly turned into dust and vanished with the black mist.

How dare fireflies compete with the bright moon?

Compared to the power of the Herrscher, he was nothing more than an insignificant nobody.

"Disgusting bug, who gave you permission to look down on me?"

Kiana protested, puffing out her cheeks in a rather humane manner.

What happened this time that woke her up?

As she thought this, her gaze shifted, searching for a familiar figure from her memory.

Unexpectedly, several people wearing fox masks surrounded her.

Almost as if they were sacrificing themselves, they recklessly charged at Kiana.

The girl discovered that she couldn't tear open space, so she had to use her powers to physically pulverize the masked man.

The masked man seemed quite powerful, but he couldn't even last one round against the Herrscher.

"I thought it would bring some fun, haha... as expected, a bug is just a bug."

Kiana yawned and stretched her aching limbs.

"If you don't take care of it, I won't return it to you next time."

Kiana whispered, "My whole body aches terribly, and I have no strength left."

They're so lucky yet they don't know it, it's infuriating.

Kiana...?

Mei sensed the Herrscher's presence and unconsciously took two steps back.

"Don't move, she's not Kiana anymore."

Theresa pulled three chains from Judas, wary of the girl before her.

"How ridiculous, their first reaction is to suspect their own people?"

"Humanity is indeed beyond saving."

The situation was far from over, as a large number of guards imbued with corrosive power rushed to the front of the stage, attempting to subdue Kiana.

They didn't even last half a second before turning into ashes scattered by the wind.

The enemy that was extremely troublesome for Mei and the others was something Kiana didn't even bother to look at.

"They've slipped away, they've slipped away..."

The veiled woman carrying the leather lantern immediately turned and left without hesitation.

"finished?"

Theresa looked around; the enemies had all been wiped out, and Kiana showed them no hostility.

"not yet...."

Mei had always felt a sense of unease, unable to find the true source of the corrosive power.

Now, reflecting on it again, I recall the words the priestess spoke before she left.

She suddenly realized something and thought to herself, "Oh no!"

"Kiana, get out of there!"

"?"

Kiana tilted her head, not understanding why the other person was so nervous.

Unfortunately, she missed her chance to react.

Bell, who had fallen to the ground, picked up the demon sword and stabbed her in the back from behind.

She cried out in pain as the earthquake rang, and two spears of sub-space coalesced, only to vanish in an instant.

"Oh dear, we've been found out. I wanted to act out our sisterly bond a little longer."

"Mei-nee, can you tell me how you knew?"

Ling smiled innocently, but in her hand she held a blood-dripping demon sword.

"You are Himeko-maru?"

The nightingale mentioned the culprit's name; could it be her?

"Hey? You little white-haired dwarf, you're so smart! Did you read the script beforehand? You even know this name."

The bell is no longer installed; all restrictions have been completely lifted.

The intense corrosive power was almost tangible; no wonder they couldn't find the culprit—it was right beside them.

Kiana's perception is distorted; she has nightmares and doesn't want to leave Rin...

All of this was planned.

The townspeople below the stage were thrown into chaos and scattered in all directions.

"Damn it, what did you do?"

Kiana clutched her abdomen tightly. She knew that Himeko had once been a Herrscher, so she did not refer to him as an ant.

After being attacked by the demon sword, not only were the wounds difficult to heal, but even the power of the Herrscher was suppressed.

It's really weird; she hates guys who like to do weird and crooked things the most.

"This is Jizo Mitama, and everything is under my control."

"It took a lot of effort to wake you up, but I'm sorry, could you sleep a little longer?"
