Chapter 291: "Herrscher of Ice, Death"

Twilight city...

Today is colder than the day before.

Don't know when, from several months ago the temperature in Twilight City began to drop more drastically day by day.

Yesterday was a freezing wind that gave the kiss of death to beggars sleeping on the streets. The next day, snow started falling from the sky and everyone now no longer had to worry about rotting corpses in the narrow alleys.

This increasingly severe weather certainly shows signs of something - the Honkai impact is coming soon.

South of the city of Twilight, there is a village with few residents. The village is isolated by steep terrain, and there are usually only a few people coming in and out each year.

Everyone who lives in this village already knows each of their neighbors. If a stranger comes in, they will know immediately. But for now, this village has become very quiet.

Because, everyone in this village is dead.

"Hahaha, is this the only limit of your abilities!? Then run for your life or be burned to the ground by my anger!!!"

Destroying every piece of ice that stood in his way, the man wearing a wooden mask chased after the figure of the Herrscher of Ice with all his strength.

His fists and body were enveloped in scorching flames, and the frostbite covering his body evaporated instantly.

Kalpas, a human from another planet, and also one of the members of the Flame-Chasers.

"Today there is only one who can survive, I will show you your death for challenging me!!!"

What is the reason for Kalpas to fight against the herrscher of Ice in this remote village?

Was this all for the villagers who had frozen to death at the hands of this witch?

Are the villagers who made him a sacrifice to their god worth defending?

No...

It's actually very simple.

Angry at fate, angry at himself, angry at everything...

He, just angry.

"Hahaha, Die for me!!!"

Venting all his anger which was on the verge of madness, Kalpas' hand was covered in a red light that was like magma, and after that he poured out all his emotions into this punch!

"DIE!!!!"

Sundown Alley...

The increasingly extreme weather makes people living in cities very anxious.

Many professional experts point out that the city of Twilight and the two surrounding cities will experience a more severe honkai impact than before. This made everyone panic, and many people immigrated.

On the third day, the experts' predictions came true, and a great Honkai impact descended on Twilight City, turning the city into a frozen city.

Now the outdoor temperature is minus 5 degrees Celsius. Going out of the house without wearing any clothes is like looking for the god of death.

"I'm home! Sister Aponia, I've found some gas cylinders in stock near the restaurant shop. This way everyone can eat hot food again!"

Pardo smiled proudly.

Aponia smiled gently: "Thanks for your hard work pardo. You can rest for a while, drink a cup of hot tea to warm your body."

Pardo did not reject Aponia's good intentions because she herself was currently cold. Feeling the warmth transmitting from the gloves she was wearing, Pardo, who was holding the warm glass, asked something important.

"Where is Ninti? Has she still not returned from looking for food out there?"

"She came back half an hour ago. But because the electricity was now cut off, she went out again to look for a generator that could be used."

The zone outside the orphanage and church has now become a restricted area.

Many dangerous Honkai beasts lurk out there.

Aponia is not too worried about Ninti because she knows that Ninti has the same skills as Pardo.

The two of them could enter and leave the building without making the slightest sound.

Since the kidnapping incident, Pardo and Ninti's relationship has become very close.

Everything that could be taught, now both of them have learned.

"Really? Then I'll follow her! Sister Aponia, where did Ninti go!?"

Aponia sighed: "Drink slowly, don't rush. Otherwise you might burn your tongue."

Persuaded Pardo, and finally managed to get her to stay at the orphanage for a while. Aponia saw a snowflake falling from the sky, and she reached for it.

"The temperature is getting better, it seems like the worst possibility won't happen. Is this the power of destiny correction?"

At this time, Aponia couldn't see the future very clearly. But for sure, she could feel it.

The Honkai Impact that hit Twilight City should never have happened now.

No, at least not so soon.

The power of honkai increases rapidly by certain variables. Aponia didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for humanity.

On the other hand...

In the crater that suddenly appeared south of Twilight City, there were traces of an extremely astonishing battle.

Giant blocks of ice crystals were scattered everywhere like earth stakes. Forming very beautiful crystal geology.

Ninti saw a woman impaled by a steel pillar, and she asked worriedly.

"Are you still alive?"

Herrscher of Ice: "...."

Of course the answer she got from this cold corpse was deep silence.

Ninti turned around and looked at the man who had half of his body trapped in giant ice crystals.

"Are you still alive?"

"...Get lost."

"Ah... still alive."

Surprised by the corpse that suddenly spoke. Ninti offers her help.

"Do you need my help?"

"...."

"Wait a minute, I'll find a way."

Ice crystals that look very solid, are actually not as hard as they seem. Ninti took a hammer, and she hit it on the corner of the beam until it cracked.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Ninti walked step by step to Kalpas, and she carried him.

"I will take you to the Aponia orphanage. Don't worry, it's a safe place there."

"Are... you worried about me?"

Kalpas, who was being carried by Ninti, started to gnash his teeth in anger.

This little fellow looked down on him.

He doesn't accept this!

"Kid, put me down. If you don't I'll break your neck!"

The thick hand wrapped tightly around Ninti's neck. With one push, Kalpas can break this thin neck easily.

"Injured people please don't move too much. I'm not lying, it's very safe there."

"Ah?"

Looking at the calm purple eyes, a little confused, but there was no sign of fear of him at all. Kalpas subconsciously loosened his grip a little.

He felt that something was strange.

There's something wrong with this girl.

"Hahaha, interesting! Very interesting!!"

Laughed out loud like a maniac, and then just passed out. Ninti, who was confused by Kalpas unstable actions, could only shrug her shoulders helplessly.

Aponia says that she must save as many people as she can. That's why she saved Kalpas.

Even though Kalpas body was very heavy, and difficult to carry, the safe route she had laid out to transport the generator was now very useful.

Half an hour later, when Ninti returned to the orphanage, she saw Aponia who was waiting for her at the door.

Ninti smiled sweetly.

"Sister Aponia, I'm home."

"Thanks for your hard work, Ninti. You can put him in an empty room. Let me take care of him."

"Um."

Ninti and Aponia work together to bring Kalpas to a clean room. After that, Ninti was chased away by Aponia.

"I didn't expect that you would be treated so cruelly in the past. But now, it's okay, you can forget all this pain."

"[Please...]"
