‘Hm… So that’s it.’
Aleph’s elemental sight went through the emperor-css honkai beast. From the moment he saw it, he had a familiar feeling.
Turns out, it once cooperated with the emperor-css honkai beast from the fourth eruption, amed “Vayu” (lit. God of Wind).
‘Heh. It’s one of the honkai beasts in this region?’
He pced these thoughts away.
Fwoosh-!
Icarus, whom he left to fly iratosphere with all its stealth systems online, dropped something in his position. A tattered bck robe fell into his arms.
“Hm…”
Aleph clicked owo pins positio his shoulder. He specifically asked for this little feature when he asked Vill-V to make this.
Click.
Click.
With the bck robe successfully attached, his Sphere Boundary followed forth. His existen this world became unimaginably thin. His footsteps no longer left any traces. Even the gusts of winds that passed through him didn’t make any noise.
Such was the effect of Sphere Boundary’s nigh-extreme mastery. He was only behind the old Li Shuwen who could disappear in the middle of a fight. Along with the effects of the tattered robe, it was enough for him to une fatal attato the honkai beast.
‘This is more fortable.’
Thinking of the potential aftermath, Aleph chose t out [Durandal] instead of [Yamato]. The longsword was held in his right hand as his running speed accelerated.
Soon, his feet left the ground. The built-up momentum from running allowed the eleagic propulsers to do their job.
Three hundred.
Four hundred.
…
Nine hundred.
When the distaravelled became a kilometer, he already traversed more than three-fourth of his previous location. The ruined buildings became a blur in his eyes. The surrounding honkai beasts acted as if they hadn’t noticed him, however.
‘There.’
A huge ratio line appeared in the mantis’ body. Its white shell decorated with purple lines all over its body made it look fn. Its two bded arms glowed dimly as a rge honkai energy reading was detected from them.
In his right hand, the familiar Juezhao erated on. All of the force created by Aleph’s speed was verted into orong blow. His cursed energy dropped as he did so, only for it to recover at aremely fast pace.
His brain, enhanced by thought acceleration and parallel minds, was sent to an overdrive. His elemental sight worked full-time to perceive all sorts of information in his surroundings. That plemented his trol over cursed energy.
All of this was made possible by the fizzling sound in his head.
Uher honkai beasts, its build was thin.
Meaning to say—
Fwooosh-!
Psshk-!
—its head easily es off in one blow.
Bam-!
Aleph colpsed in a thirty-floor building adjat to the emperor-css honkai beast. His body made a huge hole into its foundation, causing it to colpse.
Swoosh-!
Before it colpsed pletely, his figure came out of the building. A huge cloud of dust was kicked off just as he did so.
“It’s this easy…”
Familiar words came out of his mouth.
“Am I this strong now..?”
Aleph couldn’t help but think of himself three months ago. Only a short amount of time had passed sihe fourth eruption. Back then, he decided to ditch the emperor-css honkai beast ing his way. He was well-aware that he possessed enough power to kill it, but it was risky with his fragile body.
“It started when I became a MANTIS…”
Not only did he acquire [Albion’s Remains], he also fixed his body’s fragile defense and endurance. He wouldn’t o fear anything so long as he chose his oppos well and activated Sphere Boundary’s nullification fun (territory).
Sihen, he doesn’t o fear his oppos anymore.
“Fu…”
Aleph’s deliberation ended with a deep sigh. Even if he has this kind of strength now, it still wasn’t enough. He thought of the Herrschers beyond the line, especially the Herrscher of the End. If that wasn’t enough, there was also the ‘Co of Finality’ behind it all.
“I’ll focus on what we have now, then…”
He looked at the honkai beast ied city and decided to lend a hand on the up.
Sou-!
Sou-!
Sou-!
All seven of his current swords appeared and disappeared as they beheaded one honkai beast after another. Aleph’s current radius was fifty meters at best. He also had to personally take a when it es to tempr-css honkai beasts to ehey would die i.
An hour ter, there weren’t any more signs of honkai beasts beyond the chariot-css.
A silver silhouette flew beside Aleph as its back ened.
Click-!
The metallic portions of the battlesuit slid and became ft as he ehe suit.
Click-!
Tchk-!
“Let’s see… Two more cities for today…”
*****
One day.
That was how long it took to utterly obliterate three emperor-css honkai beasts in the eastern region.
Looking at the reports, Himeko fell silent. She didn’t expect that the person who was sidered Hua’s “friend” and a renowned doctor for “researbsp;turned out to be this strong.
‘Three… Excluding the travel time, it’s an hour per city.’
What kind of power could’ve allowed someoo kill off an emperor-css as well as all tempr-css honkai beasts in an hour?
At the very least, Himeko k wasn’t solely due to the famous Project Soldier.
One has to know that an emperor-css honkai beast has an insaion time, granting it insane levels of speed.
A chariot-css hit like a tru uwo seds; tempr-csses do it under o could be imagined how strong an emperor-css could be.
Coupled with their tough sili shells, they were simply a mae fhter.
‘It was said he killed the fifth Herrscher…’
The entrao the debriefing room, a rge tent, ened. Everyone fell silent as their sights fell on one man. Oneone saluted, the rest followed.
Seeing this, Aleph responded with a salute of his own before dropping it. Their hands only fell down when Aleph passed by.
“...I didn’t expect it, Sir Aleph.”
Himeko ged her way of addressing him. Calling someone who demolished emperor-css honkai beasts a ‘doctor’ certainly doesn’t sound right.
“I hope you didn’t mind it.” He replied. “We’ll be w together for the week or so.”
‘One week…’
The timeframe he gave was enough for him to wipe off dozens of emperor-css honkai beasts alone.
