Chapter 108: Three Heroes Fighting the Snake
"...This is the power of a key of Binding. You really do have a very strange ability."
After being attacked by the projection of Judas, the giant snake was still fighting with Kirataka.
During the intervals of the battle, Kevin, who had been watching from the sidelines, had the leisure to communicate with Kirataka.
Fighting is also a way to understand a person. He is observing the strength and fighting techniques used by Kirataka.
The spiritual spears that attacked Kukulkan just now undoubtedly carried the same power as the Oath of Judah, but Kirataka did not seem to really possess the Eleventh Divine Key.
If it was Void Archive's Mimic Divine Key... that wasn't right. He also didn't feel the first Divine Key's breath.
"This is a trade secret."
Kirataka flew down from a high altitude, flying at high speed almost close to the ground, and quickly circled around the edge that had not yet been swallowed by the black snake wave.
While flying, he also used his manipulation of magnetism to extract iron sand from the ground and underground, turning it into a huge iron fist floating beside him.
Controlling this big fist, Kirataka flew closer to the opponent and slammed into the giant snake's body hard.
——Faced with this giant snake that can secrete highly toxic substances, you naturally cannot fight it head-on with your physical body. You must use this method to attack it.
This powerful blow only caused the giant snake to pause slightly, but it soon returned to normal and began to move.
The iron fist that originally hit it had been corroded by the poison secreted from its body surface.
The wounds left by the bombardment were also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Highly toxic + high-speed regeneration..."
Kirataka observed and analyzed the abilities of this Judgment-level Honkai beast while dodging its attacks at high altitudes.
When facing an enemy that can regenerate at a high speed, the best way is of course to kill it with one blow.
However, the giant snake's movement speed was not as slow as its huge size, but rather it was quite agile.
Therefore, if Kirataka wants to hit it with the full-power railgun, he must first restrict its ability to move.
With his current means, if he wanted to restrict the movement of such a huge creature, he could only project multiple Oaths of Judah and use restraining chains to entangle and restrict it.
Even if they are just counterfeits that are inferior to the real thing, as long as the number is sufficient, it is still possible to completely suppress this Judgment-level Honkai beast for a short period of time.
But if he did so, he would be able to control the opponent, but then he might not have enough strength to release an attack that could kill it at the same time.
Restriction and attack... He can only do one of them at the moment.
"Tsk... He has seen through my strength, so he chose to let this big snake suppress me..."
While Kirataka was thinking about countermeasures, the opponent's next attack had already arrived.
The thick snake tail swept across fiercely and swiftly, and Kirataka twisted and turned, barely avoiding its attack.
It would be a bit tricky to rely on him alone.
The snake's tail missed its target and turned in mid-air, attacking from another direction, but this time, a blood-red chain claw shot out from a distance and intercepted the attack halfway.
Kirataka looked back and saw that the two girls had already arrived near him.
The sound of chains creaked, and the girl retracted the chain claws used for interception to her side.
Seele - well, now I should say the other Seele, was holding a sickle that was much larger than her body, with two chain claws floating around her.
The black and red girl landed beside him and said before he could say anything:
"Seele is worried about you and wants me to help you!"
"..."
Kirataka opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
How could this little girl so easily reveal to him that she and Seele had dual personalities?
The other Seele seemed to realize that she had exposed something, and there was a hint of panic on her face. He tried to make amends and said:
"Wait, I mean—"
"...Anyway, I need someone to help me restrict its movements."
Well, it's better to play dumb for a while at this time.
Moreover, rather than caring about this, it is better to focus on dealing with this Judgment-level Honkai beast first.
"I'll help you too."
The purple-haired girl also stopped in the air.
Her attire undoubtedly belonged to the Herrscher of the Void, symbolizing the first time she had activated her own power since leaving her original world.
Faced with the reinforcements of the two girls, Kevin, the incarnation of the Honkai Beast Kukulkan, simply raised his head slightly, and a strange color flashed in his huge snake eyes.
Perhaps it was because what Kirataka had just said to him was verified, or perhaps he felt that the sacrifice of one of his comrades from 50,000 years ago was worth it.
Compared to Seele, who used the power of the stigmata to fight, he paid more attention to Sirin.
He said in a deep voice:
"In this quantum sea, the power of the Herrscher is naturally suppressed. You cannot exert your power to the fullest."
As an apostle of Honkai on the side of imaginary numbers, the Herrscher's authority comes from the gift of the Imaginary Tree.
Being in this quantum sea that is completely opposite to the Imaginary Tree, Sirin's power will naturally be suppressed by the environment here.
Originally, the power of Honkai Beast would also be suppressed here, but Kukulkan, as a quantum specialized Honkai Beast, can weaken the effect of suppression to a certain extent and exert power close to that of a complete form.
If it were in the original world, it would be easy to deal with the Judgment-level Honkai beast with the power of the Herrscher, but in this world bubble, it might not be the case.
"Hmph, it's none of your business."
The pair of golden pupils stared at the snake fiercely, and the power of space began to gather around the girl's hands.
——She was indeed in poor condition, not only because of the environmental debuff of being in the Quantum Sea but also because of the aftereffects of being affected by Cecilia's Holy Blood Liberation.
Rather, the latter had a greater impact on her.
Under the double suppression, to be honest, the strength she can exert now is only one tenth of what it was.
But even so, she is also a Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void.
The girl was high in the air. She waved her hand and created several exaggeratedly large Sub-space Spears around her.
"…If you want to restrict its movements!"
Following Sirin's order, several sub-sky spears disappeared from the air in an instant and were teleported to the ground by her.
The next moment, they appeared all over the black snake's body, like thumbtacks, nailing the huge Honkai beast to the ground.
"Squeak—squeak—"
Relying on the brute force brought by its huge body, it still tried to struggle.
"Don't even think about it!"
Seele swooped down from the sky wielding a sickle, drawing a streak of blood at an extremely fast speed and cutting a wound on its head.
Although the wound was not deep, it was enough to affect its struggling movements.
"Kneel down... for me!"
The girl controlled two chain claws to rush down from above and hit it heavily on the forehead.
——Kirataka had already reminded her that this giant snake possessed a corrosive poison, so she also used long-range attack methods.
The brute force that was in stark contrast to its seemingly petite and weak body caused its head to sink downward, and under the action of the enormous force, a big hole was smashed into the ground.
"Huh... now."
While Sirin and Seele suppressed Kukulkan's actions, Kirataka also completed his charged attack.
Roaring lightning exploded in the sky, and he concentrated all his strength on this one shot of the railgun.
Kirataka stretched out his finger and aimed at the vulnerable part of its body as if aiming.
As the saying goes, 'Strike the snake at its most vulnerable part'... Although he doesn't know if this will work for this Honkai beast, he still has to shoot at this position.
The next moment, this full-power railgun poured out, falling to the ground like a blazing meteor, releasing the power of destruction on the Honkai beast.
It pierced through Kukulkan's body with ease and the vibration it caused even made the entire park shake slightly, like an earthquake.
After the dazzling flash of lightning, the giant black snake stopped moving.
