A day after the Exam
???, ???
Kevin PoV
I gathered some information about honkai from our Base, though never know how to decode herrscher core, I read things carefully about Dr MEI on how she was able to use Herrscher core as weapon core and she's able to decode some parts of it... but nothing to discover, I took Su to my own project and after 3 days of constant experimentation he was able to decode it. We then decoded the Gem of Corruption to make the summon more human, that said making Jizo a human. We prepared things and so not long after we were able to gave him human features. And of course as a good friend I am, I introduce him to everyone
My room, half a minute before introducing everyone
Jizo: *sigh*... Human, Why did you made me into this form?
Jizo said in a calm irritation
Jizo is a typical shogun, Samurai armour, shugon face mask. It has a red-black theme. I also made his own Identity by making him looking like Archer from Fate/Stay night
He has 3 different phases, 1st phase is him. A gyaruo(male version of gyarus) with slick back white hair With a red jacket, black torso, a dress like belt, Basically Belt that has a dress-a-like, But only covering 80% of the waist and in front is the open side. He also has black pants and boots. He will be wielding 2 katana's of course and then to keep with Archer's appeal, His sword(Katana instead of the machete looking idk what's called) are yinyang pairs and the tip of the blade are purple. 2nd phase is: Where his armor appear, Red-black theme as I've said. then there's also 3rd phase in which he will be overly powered: Unlimited blade works. unlimited blade works is an illusion place or reality marble that has unlimited swords, Jizo's version is the same however the atmosphere is the violet to pink one since that's what it was in the black box. And of course he can multiply himself but only one doppelganger and as well control the swords mid-air
Kevin: You agree that killing humans isn't good right?
Jizo: I hate to say it but yes?
Kevin: We worked hard on that so you have to be grateful, Jizo
Jizo: ...
Kevin: I'll let you summon for a while, I prepared for this occasion so I stored a heck ton of honkai energy in my body, when I said heck ton, a heck ton to make a herrscher against honkai a zombie against humanity
Jizo: How?
Kevin: Because I'm a MANTIS?
I sarcastically joke
Jizo: Just whatever
Kevin: Explore here in my room first, ask me some stuff since you don't know about humanity
Jizo look everywhere
Jizo: Not much to learn here. I can see through your brain...
Kevin: Well then let's meet everyone
_______________________________
Kiana: Ahh... WHO ARE YOU?!
Kiana said as she look at Jizo, I look at him and told him to introduce himself
Jizo: Ahh... well. My name is Jizo Mitama, I'm Kevin's summon
Jizo scratch the back of his head then putting his fist to his chest as he introduce himself
Kiana: Ehh?
Kevin: Lately, I've been staying up all night with Su to complete this small project of mine
Su: And it's very hard
Mei: Oh? Do we have a new guest?
Kevin: No, Mei, this is my summon, Jizo Mitama
Jizo: Nice to meet you
Mei: Oh... it's the herrscher thing huh?
Kevin: Yeah, he's my servant so to speak. Still I don't know how to control the Herrscher of Corruption core myself but... It's alright
Kevin: Now... Jizo, AKA Archer here will be our servant but he also has limit so I gave him breaks. You can do whatever for now Jizo, But I'll keep an eye on you
Jizo: Y-Yeah...
Mei: So Jizo... I made snacks for everyone, you too Su and Kiana
Kiana: Yay!
Jizo: I guess he's right?
Jizo said as he find himself a humanity's true side. Meanwhile I was looking through my clothes then going to ask Bronya to a date... It would be unfair if she doesn't.
________________________________
3 hours later
Theresa, Major Himeko and Hua have come back. Himeko drunk as always, Theresa's confused and Hua greeted and introduce herself to Jizo
Theresa: Jizo wha-?
Theresa recall a memory 500 years ago
Jizo: Jizo Mitama, codename: Archer
Himeko: You're a fine looking man, Jizo-kun~
Jizo got confused...on what was she trying to say
Jizo: Well of course I am... I guess
Theresa: eh?
Himeko: A fine man indeed~
Theresa: We can't let you stay here
Jizo: Then shall be it-
Su: He's Kevin's summon Principal so don't worry he literally has leverage on him but Kevin don't want to make Jizo as a slave so he make this honkai entity to a human entity. Jizo don't listen to her words you can go back and watch the movie with me
Jizo: But that's immoral, and 2nd: she's the principal of this school
Su: Yes act so childish
Theresa: OI!! I heard that!
Su: Is there a mature principal who read a manga and don't like any vegetables except bitter melon
Theresa: W-well...
Su: You know, Principal. You're a hard working woman and I know that, but. Don't be picky on vegetables! I understand why you read manga but just don't be picky over vegetables. That's why you're always short
Theresa pout
Himeko: Ahahahahaha! Just imagine getting rekt by his students!!
Su: Same for you, Major. We don't want you dead early on. So don't drink Beer too much, just regulate it
Theresa: Heh
Theresa smirked on Himeko while Himeko appear to bit pissed against Theresa
Jizo: Then... I'll return to watch movie's with Su now
I peek at Jizo and smiled
Kevin: You're doing great, partner

6 days later
I never got to ask Bronya as the day after I was suppose to ask her out, Schicksal gave us missions.
After receiving a purging honkai beast mission with Bianka. It was fun to have Jizo around he does the killing and note his combat ability. He's now equal to Bianka's prowess, every time they spar it's almost like the same person blocking their attacks. I've noted that 3 days ago
While myself in the other hand, Tried to use Jizo's trauma that he gave me as fuel for pure strength. If I use it every time, My personality seems to change so, I should stop using him for now. Things we're normal during the mission until I receive a call
"Himeko"
Kevin I answered Major's call
Himeko: Bad news, kid
Kevin: Major?
Himeko: It seems like your girl got kidnapped by anti entropy 6 days ago
Kevin: Who?
Himeko: It's Mei-
A sudden surge of power release out of my body, More powerful than what Jizo fed to me. a shockwave then followed, strong enough to destroy building to one another
Himeko: Woah! What the hell was that?
Kevin: Ahh it's nothing, Probably Bianka on rampage. Anyways why did someone not told me
Himeko: We thought Su would tell you but when we asked him today he said he forgot. We're currently at the ME corp building in the Sapphire city, We'll handle this out. It's not like you would come here in such spee-
Another shockwave heard from the phone. I jumped high enough over 60 feet.
Kevin: Battlesuit: Initiate Flight mode: Full throttle
I said as fly foward then breaking the sound barrier.
Durandal: Kevin!
Kevin: Ah Bianka. there's emergency that I have to attend, I'll see you later okay? Tell Overseer Overseer that I have to attend something
Durandal: S-Sure...
Himeko: Oi kid!!
Kevin: I can't hear major!
I said, I mean it was true. The wind is blocking my hearing. I then connect it to my ear piece
Kevin: Better, So what did you said major?
Himeko: Wait are you actually going here?!
Kevin: Huh? What no!
I said in denial
Himeko: Hmmm... sure... Anyways, I'll continue
Himeko replied with suspicion
Kevin: yeah
Himeko hang up
Kevin: How dare they... But people depends. I would kill this motherf**ker if they're a stranger
I broke the sound barrier the second time as I went to 2k mph. I then raised the flight latitude then later as I get closer enough I then change direction to make my perfect landing
_____________________________
Theresa: Done, Himeko?
Himeko: Yeah... there might be something on Kevin's but I don't know what it is
Su: It's pretty obvious
Kiana: Is he actually going here?
Su: Who knows...
_____________________________
15 minutes later, I am now gliding and my powers went back, And moreover I'm losing Honkai Energy to keep flight mode. The time that I'm in now is night time means they are attacking, at night. good one.
And then just like that, I arrived at Soukai in the outskirts and lost honkai energy, However my wings still kept me hovering, moving them will further exhaust me as it may take my life energy. then loosing the Wings after arriving at Sapphire. Mei's presence is just in front of me. I dive through the ME building and just landed and hurt head in where Mei was at
Kevin: F**k... Damn those wall are tough... Low honkai energy... I hardly can enhance my strength on this... I think I'll stay in this one as I normally would... The Ambience have one and source to one. It do felt like herrscher co-
Mei: K-Kevin?
Kevin: Mei
???: Subject Kevin!
The russian loli look at me in shock
_______________________________
*rumble*
Himeko: What... was that?!
Su: It's Kevin
Kiana: Eh?
Theresa: Wait what?!
Himeko: I just called him 15 minutes ago though!
Su: Salient Outburst... one of his many abilities
Himeko: Just how powerful is he?!
Su: As I told you. Kevin, is strong enough to be able beat the last Herrscher. Kevin has now the power to put our own civilization to an end if Salient Outburst will activate, if that is against humanity made by his own will on his full potential
Himeko: About the Salient Outburst
Su: Salient Outburst is an ability to convert Honkai energy to a pure energy, Basically an eruption but his surrounding won't be affected as much, His power will overwhelm his to some point that he won't control himself. He will have 15 minutes having his true prowess unleashed. He as well then experience a high amount of adrenaline, higher than that of a normal valkyrie not even an S-rank could reach such high amounts. Enough chatter let's move
Everyone: Yeah
____________________________
Bronya: Subject... Kevin...
Bronya look at me with shock
I glared at the russian loli. Of course, Bronya but I still glared at her as if I'm going to kill her
Kevin: Cocolia "Matushka" speak to me or I will kill this child in front of me
I said with pure anger but stoic tone
Mei: Kevin! Are you gonna kill Bronya?!
I glared at Mei
Kevin: I've killed some of my acquaintances before, Herrscher of Thunder. So this is not new for me
Mei: That's not like you Kevin! If you were Kevin you wouldn't kill your friends, you would care for them!!
Kevin: That what would Kevin do if he seen them useless. The Kevin of the past is a bloodlust monster who will kill everyone without hesitation
Mei look at me on concern or even scared
I look down in shame and guilt. Indeed I do have friends before, but I killed them for the sake of World Serpent. I didn't live as happy as every child is. Burden always weight upon me
Cocolia: So you must be Kevin Kaslana
Cocolia finally speak, She said through one of the speakers
Cocolia: I heard that you are powerful... It's interesting that Schicksal have you
Kevin: Bronya Zaychick, one of my true friend that I owe a lot. It's sad that she might die
Cocolia: Are you crazy?!
Kevin: Yeah, I am. Have you heard of the code name "Lone Assassin"? It was me that killed one of your acquaintances. I tried to stop X-10 but you never listened to the signals. Of course I am crazy
I said as I revisit a memory that I got a millions of dollars per body. But I only use one and "harvest" it to sell it. I was basically rich in such age
Cocolia: You monster!!
Kevin: I am indeed, very young that time and I already recieved ICHOR meta-morph. I can say through your tone, I must be a fine murderer. Such young age to try and save children, making sure that they wont fall in my path. Bronya could have lead a good life, and as well Seele Vollerei
Bronya/Cocolia: ?!
Kevin: person that you two prize the most? I can see your reactions, I read your actions as if you're an open book.
I said as I started approaching Bronya
Cocolia: Bronya, kill Kevin!!
Bronya was then forced to enter her corrupted mode
Mei: Kevin... don't you dare!
I look at Mei as she glare at me with electrifying angry eyes.
Kevin: As ordered... your majesty
I charged at Bronya as she then shoot missiles on me. I took one then deflect it to Bronya. She then dodge it. As expected
Kevin: The AI is very powerful on her Bio-Chip. Impressive, Cocolia
Cocolia: I was preparing for this!
I charge again at Bronya then punch her, She then block it as she forward her shield to me, after blocking me she created a time fracture then punch me successfully. I backed off and cough a bit. She then ready her cannon then red portals appear, around 16 of them and it was cannons. It then shoot at me rapidly. I tried to dodge it, some came to me to how fast it is. I don't have strength enhancer and the CD for that to come back will be really long: 30 minutes or it depends how much I used it. There's no time limiter. My battlesuit got damage and it then showed skin. Just as planned. My battlesuit is now destroyed
Cocolia: You're not as powerful as they say
Kevin: Your ego will force you to see your demise. Key of Destruction
I called out the Key of Destruction, it was in its cleaver form so I transformed it. I currently can wield it, specially to it's final form: Shuhadaku of Uriel of course. It hurt a while
Kevin: ICHOR: Zero Kelvin
I said, now I'm able to use SoU without worry
Kevin: ICHOR: Swift Momentum
Cocolia: What?!
I charge at Bronya in almost sound-breaking speed
Kevin: Forgive me Bronya! I will make up for it so please!! WAKE UP!!
I said as I teleported in some places and punch her in different places. I broke her shield barrier and knocked her to the floor, Bronya regained back to her senses and saw some damages to me. She felt bad and eventually don't want it anymore
Cocolia notice that she isn't fighting anymore
Cocolia: Bronya! Kill Kevin, it's an order!
Bronya: In such young age... Bronya grow up without her parents but Cocolia become my Matushka and treat me as her own daughter but...
Cocolia: I said Kill Kevin!!
Bronya: Bronya has destroyed her Bio-chip, the Bronya won't last longer...
I was having hopes... but
Kevin: YOU CAN'T!
Bronya: Bronya value Mei's nad Subject Kevin's life than my own
Bronya collapses
Cocolia: YOU!! You don't know what herrscher worth!!
I rushed to Bronya and held her in my arms... I felt like a failure that point. Loosing another one...
Kevin: I do
I said as I recall a false sad memory that Kevin gave me. the 13th herrscher
Kevin: They are evil due to their adolescent like child behavior, Accepting request from honkai to seek validation by seeing their progress. They are precious indeed, including their core. But some just want to live and do nothing about the world. They are not weapons but humans instead
I said as I recall another false dream of the PE, RIN - 12th herrscher's host death
Cocolia: You are speaking nonsense, you monster!
Kevin: Indeed I am and you are correct about me as a monster. But isn't the point of honkai war is to save innocent against honkai? If so why this? You took an innocent life for your little toy and use Mei as a experiment subject for the future? And why did you use Bronya? a girl who loved you as her own mother. Is Seele not enough? Do you want her to die in your own front eyes? What kind of a mother are you? If I'm a monster then what are you?! I simply want to give children a life they want!!
I held my grudge
Cocolia: Tch! Just take that stupid herrscher!!
Cocolia stopped, I took Mei from the plasma thing or whatever it's called
Mei: I thought that... you would...
Kevin: Why would I kill someone who I owe my life to? Despite of me killing friends for one organization is already enough, After killing 5 of my former friends. I quit my job as a mercenary but stayed there as my uncle still kept in touch with them
Mei: But still...
I look at me and touch her in both cheeks
Kevin: I know, I know. I'm not living in the past and if I do. I'd be rampaging again and again if something will happen to you, or Kiana or Bronya to that matter or those who I held close to my heart. But we have to focus, Can you walk on your own?
Mei: Not much...
Kevin: I'm gonna carry Bronya first then you hold on to me okay?
Mei nod once
I went and carry Bronya and then Mei grabbing my neck. While I get her closer to me by carrying her too by the waist. She blushed
and then a door in front of us open, I took SoU to JoS form then point it. who could be. Mei then put my arm down
Mei: It's Kiana-chan and others
Kiana: Nii-nii?!
Mei: Kiana-chan!
Mei waved her arm despite being a bit weak
Kiana: Mei-senpai!!
Kiana rushed to Mei and hug her
Kiana: Nii-nii you're here too!
Kevin: No more chatter, Su lead the way
Su: Roger!
We then went floors to floors and then see a certain black-green haired girl. There was something off that girl... as if there's a herrscher core removed. Well I heard that the Nagazora had a herrscher involvement
???: Kiana.
Kiana: Wendy!
Kiana felt relief
Wendy: I don't have much time left. I need to tell something. The honkai inside the Gem of Desire allowed me to walk again a few days ago. That energy can help Bronya recover. Of course you'll need to get the gem of desire first... please...
The wendy girl collapse, Kiana called her name but to no avail
Cocolia: Hello there! Like my little gift
I stayed silence and let Kiana deal with this
Mei: What gift? Letting wendy talk to us?
I then started to chant in whisper
Kevin: Let the light-
Cocolia: I would expect you girls... and boys to be greatful. That's Wendy's last words to Bronya
Kiana: Last words?
Cocolia: Oh, I think I forgot to tell you... I've killed the 4th herrscher.
Kiana: W-What?
Mei: Why?
Kevin: Okay that's it I'm pissed!!
Then a sudden shockwave followed. Elysian crystals appear to me and everyone who's close to me feels the roar of flames of the Shuhadaku of Uriel's blade
Cocolia: Ohohoho~ Are you really trying to be a hero. Serial Killer
Kevin: Oh yes I am, Bitch!!
Cocolia: How dare you call me that!!
Kevin: BECAUSE I CAN NOW TURN THAT SHIT UP AND LET ME DESTROY IT!!!
Cocolia: You're near laugha-
I charge at the giant robot and cutting its limbs. Each one already exhaust me
Cocolia: I-Impossible?!!
Kevin: It's possible. I then look at its chest and I already feel the technical malfunction as honkai energy emits
Cocolia: Don't you dare!
I silence
Theresa: Go get it, Kevin!!
Kiana: Yeah destroy it!!
Himeko: Destroy it!!!
Su/Mei: Oh no...
I chuckle for a bit then Cocolia turned on the Robot but-
Kevin: Everyone... step out
Theresa nodded then looking at everyone
Theresa: Let Kevin handle this
I swing the Shuhadaku of Uriel to my back. The Robot is now activated and shooting beam from its head. I bent my knees and hold the sword with my other hand. The building is already crumbling. and energy is filling into the my blade. I forward the sword then pointing at MSR
The beam shoot at me everyone look at me in concern and then I was still there. Hopes filled their eyes and for Cocolia, she messed up
Kevin: Fire of Judgement: Execute
I charge at the Robot to its chest then to its cure. A light them blinded anyone. I used another ability of mine to protect the building except for the robot. As it destroyed into ashes. A gem glowed green and it was the gem of desire. It was approaching me and so... I took it. The light stop blinding them as I held the gem by hand
Cocolia: H-How?!!
Su: As expected to a MANTIS
Kevin: You actually killed a girl for that useless robot... If you heard of me by schicksal then you must heard of me single handedly killed a Judgement Class honkai beast... You're stupid, actually stupid
Cocolia: Tch... that was a waste
Everyone: What?!
Kevin: She killed that Herrscher for that! Actually stupid. Man... you should be demoted, you suck. Women like you are actually stupid, do you know that? Actually stupid... Jeez. I'm taking this and-
The gem slipped to my hand and started approaching to my chest. A huge honkai energy rise into me that I fell. I check my fingers and honkai infection strike me
Cocolia: Ahahaha... what a brag...
Kevin: Hehe... Hhahaha. HAHAHA... Cocolia.... you're... fucking... Stupid
Su approach me like nothing happen
Su: He... can handle this Cocolia. You just gave him a gift. Now he's powerful but that he needs to sleep for months so you have forever to try and assinate him
Everyone: He what?!!
After that I went comatose state, We left the ME corp and go back to St Freya. Gem of Desire is testing my body by giving me infections and overall making my health worse while having a living hell(If you know what I mean) in my dream. Seggs suck. My coma worsen as my body temperature lowers and honkai infection start spreading into me. My health keep worsening day by day and my ICHOR genes shut down yet my body temperature kept lowering. While in END's place I was then suddenly summoned into an digital world.
???: Where am I?
A voice like Kiana spoke.
Kevin: High tone and not much mature... Kiana...
Chapter END
