Herrscher of Reason's Arknights

Messages were transmitted to Hoshiguma's ears via the communication network.

At this moment, Hoshiguma was just as wild and reckless as his fellow Oni.

The bloodthirsty and valiant demon race.

He swept through five checkpoints and defeated six generals, and many of the thugs and hooligans on guard duty were knocked down with a single blow before they even saw the demon clan member flash by.

His speed and skill are so great that he would be considered a top-notch fighter even among the elite.

This is a female demon named Hoshiguma.

Bloodlust flows in its veins; despite its enormous size, it even carries a massive shield called "Prajna".

Yet this enormous warrior was as agile as a cat, moving swiftly like the wind, without the slightest disorder.

Rushing up the stairs, Hoshiguma leaped three steps in one bound, and there was a guy dressed as an Ursus mercenary upstairs.

The man hadn't even had time to shout anything when he first saw the bluish afterimage.

A powerful right fist slammed into the man's stomach!

The cries of pain were even swallowed back down.

Hoshiguma dodged past him with great restraint; the man simply collapsed to his knees, unconscious from the sudden impact.

This is enough.

There are two more floors to the upper communications room; we'll be there soon.

well.

Perhaps it was truly divine intervention; with such an aggressive style, Hoshiguma went unnoticed by anyone other than those she took down along the way.

We were almost at the signal room where the broadcast signal was being relayed.

As long as we rush in and ensure the element of surprise in our attack, Hoshiguma is confident that we can resolve this matter.

Victory was in sight, and he hadn't even been discovered.

In the past, every time Hoshiguma was needed, it was always a fierce battle.

This will be a fierce battle.

A fierce battle fought alone.

"Sister Ghost, move forward..."

"Shh...shh..."

? ?

Hoshiguma stopped and tapped her earpiece with her index finger.

"Yan? Can you hear me?"

The headset seemed to be experiencing some kind of interference; there was no feedback from the static or hissing.

Is it because this place is too far from underground?

Just as Hoshiguma hesitated, Ken's voice returned.

"Ghost Sister? Ghost Sister?! Can you hear me? The signal was interfered with for some reason just now."

"It's very clear, I can hear it. It took some time, and we might not have enough time."

"Let's continue from where we left off. It's the third door after we go upstairs. We need to hurry."

Hoshiguma resumed her swift, wind-like run.

"Enter the hall through the second door, and you can enter the kitchen by going through the staff passage on the left."

"The back door of the kitchen staff changing room leads to the adjacent passageway; just walk straight ahead."

"very good."

The communications room is a place where hostages can be rescued. With Hoshiguma's abilities, it wouldn't be a problem to lead any young lady or noblewoman out of the thugs.

She was very confident, and she was always there during fierce battles.

And with her around, we never lost.

The once quiet demons now unleash their full power, and the demon women, who were originally known for their rationality and composure, are now displaying arrogance.

The yana began to spin rapidly. The shield was a piece of armor, but in Hoshiguma's hands, it became a weapon.

The sharp edges of the high-speed rotation gradually became blurred.

That was her weapon.

With a sudden swing of the shield, the reinforced door proved as fragile and powerless as paper.

In a mere instant, the high-speed slash split the gate in two, and then it was shattered into scattered fragments by Hoshiguma's impact!

This is the communications room.

However····

Hostages, kidnappers, vicious thugs...

None of it exists.

All that exists are countless television screens and broadcasting equipment.

"It's much faster than I expected."

Yan's voice came through the earpiece, but her tone was completely different.

Because at this very moment, a Sarkaz girl with long, light-gold hair was sitting in a chair, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.

"How was it? Did I do a good job imitating her... Sister Ghost?"

That was the most malicious mockery. It was clearly a different person, but the tone of voice when they opened their mouths was exactly the same as Yan's voice in the earpiece.

The voice in the headset is hers! It's not Yan's at all.

"The interference just now... was your doing."

From the moment the interference started, the communication had already been switched!

"Yes, after all, you're eager to see me, so how could I let this opportunity pass me by?"

One moment it was Yan's soft voice, the next it switched back to her own voice, alluring and deadly.

The guy in front of me is incredibly dangerous.

Just then, the communication signal that had been hijacked by the woman in front of him was finally restored.

"Ghost Sister! Ghost Sister! Can you hear me?! You just completely lost signal..."

Yan's anxiety was palpable through the receiver.

That was her voice; clearly, the previous channel had been switched.

I got tricked.

"I can hear you. I've found the place. I'll handle the rest."

Before Ken could reply, Hoshiguma threw down the headset and stomped it to pieces.

"Hmm, quite impressive. It would be impolite of me not to introduce the Oni clan of the Eastern Kingdom, as I am fortunate to have the opportunity to meet them."

The girl gently stood up, her relaxed appearance revealing numerous weaknesses. However, even so, Hoshiguma remained tense and ready to strike, but did not choose to make the first move.

Her intuition told her again that the guy named Piana was extremely dangerous!

“Pianna, you can call me Pianna, or you can call me Miss.”

The other person walked around the chair, appearing incredibly close and familiar with Hoshiguma, yet maintaining a reasonable, safe distance—neither too far nor too close.

Confidently pacing outside the attack range, ensuring that Hoshiguma's initial move wouldn't threaten him, yet seemingly defiantly stepping on that delicate balance point, never straying from the distance of hatred, always seemingly close yet distant.

Arrogant, elegant, and confident, it was clear that the other party was not a fool without any fighting ability; this was practically provoking them with a gun pointed at their gun!

A slight bow is appropriate; one should maintain an elegant demeanor, restrain arrogance, and appear both noble and humble.

Like the most dazzling princess at a ball.

However, the mechanical arm, seemingly spliced ​​onto the human body, was ferocious and unrestrained, with graceful posture. Yet, the arrogance and contempt in its eyes never faded. That arrogance, as if flowing in its blood, made Chen lose his judgment. Nobles are arrogant, but this blood-stained arrogance would not be out of place even among assassins. It was ambiguous, yet perfectly appropriate.

Whether it's her martial prowess or her demeanor, her appearance and refinement are enough for her to enter the social circles of high society without losing her manners. Her martial prowess also allows her to kill anyone when needed, making her...the perfect murder weapon.

In terms of both self-cultivation and killing, the other party achieved perfection that Hoshiguma could comprehend.

"Are you the mastermind behind this?"

"Of course it wasn't me. They already said I'm just an ordinary working guy..."

"You take someone's money and do their bidding; it's that simple."

"It's no use talking more."

Hoshiguma is ready, poised to unleash her power like a raging beast!

"Hmm, I'm so scared~ Hahahahahahahaha."

Seeing the other person shaking with laughter, Hoshiguma lost her patience. She had no intention of confronting a madman; time was not on her side!

Like a wind-up doll, the warmth of emotion faded from Pianna's face.

No, she is no longer Pianna; she is the villain who wanders through countless worlds.

Suddenly, she took a small step back, lifted the hem of her skirt, and bowed again.

However, this time it was a pose used for the curtain call of a stage play, as if a perfect performance had been given.

The Guard Bureau, gangs, thugs, and conspiracies have all gathered here, making this place the enemy's biggest and grandest performance and stage.

And in the center of the stage was her.

In any case, this legend will remain here.

A legend belonging to villains.

Indeed, the curtain call of a stage play requires all the actors to come on stage and pay their highest respects to the audience.

All the actors took to the stage that belonged to her.

And she is the star of this dreamlike performance.

Since it's a dream, let's dream big.

And now, it's time for the curtain to fall.

P.S.: Posted late! [Sighs]

Section 100, Chapter 97: [Incomprehensible]

"The roads are all blocked off."

At the street corner, Sodium Chloride, who had just given change to the taxi driver, was standing on the street.

There was no way to get any closer; traffic control had been implemented at intersections several kilometers from the scene of the incident, and the main road leading to Pacific Place was blocked off.

"trouble."

The car couldn't get in, so we had to find a way to take a back road. Walking four or five kilometers wasn't exactly far, but it wasn't short either. However, this kind of extremely inefficient task was simply unbearable for sodium chloride.

Should we resort to some extreme measures?

The Honkai energy storage is still plentiful; even if we directly enter Herrscher mode and fly there now, it wouldn't be a problem.

However, it was far too conspicuous. This was the city center, and the process of being towed off the ground and into the sky was likely to be witnessed.

This is not good. Even if the legend of the Snow Fairy doesn't become popular here, it's still not good.

Sodium chloride is annoying and doesn't attract attention.

Then we can only choose a slightly more conventional method.

This is just traffic control for motor vehicles; pedestrians are not subject to it. Continue walking forward until you are about one or two kilometers away from Pacific Place before the pedestrian road is completely blocked.

Before that...
