Chapter 75: Kallen rescue operation
Tomorrow morning.
At the execution ground already swarmed by a lot of people.
Kallen, who was already at the center of the execution platform, is sitting in resignation with her head down, waiting for the execution to commence and witnessed by the people and Arthur, who was accompanied by several men with bird masks.
Seeing that it was Kallen who is to be executed, some people in the audience did not dare believe and shouted their protests.
"It's impossible that Miss Kallen committed this crime! There must be something wrong about it!"
"2 years ago, it was miss Kallen and her group of Valkyries who saved our villages from monsters!"
One of the bird-masked men retorted to the crowd, "Quiet! Do not question the bishop's judgment, if I hear questioning again- you will all be seized for the crime of heresy!"
Following that, another bird-masked man approached 'Arthur and said respectfully, "Master Arthur, it's about time."
"Ugh… Prepare for execution!"
Kiana, who is currently on the balcony of the 2nd floor of the adjacent building to the execution platform, is wearing an inconspicuous robe. She stared at the execution platform while remembering the plan that Bronya and Kouro had arranged.
__
The day before the execution took place.
Kouro lead Bronya and Kiana to an inn after her had prepared everything. This inn is used as a base shelter by Bronya and Kouro earlier.
At night, inside Kouro's room. (They have their own room)
They are currently discussing about how to rescue Kallen from her execution tomorrow, and after a few hours of planning, they finally came to a conclusion and finished their plans.
The plan is that Bronya will create a couple of explosives using the materials that Kouro has prepared in the suitcase and detonate it nearby the plaza to create chaos. Then, when their attention on the explosion, Kiana would swoop in and defeat the masked men guarding Kallen, while Kouro would remain beside Bronya to protect her in case of an accident.
Bronya, in this space, is unable to summon her 'stand', which made it more difficult and make her more vulnerable, although she could defeat some special soldiers with ease.
Finishing their discussion with a goodnight, Bronya and Kiana then returned to their respective rooms.
Kouro, now alone in his room, turned his head to the window and just stared at the moon shining brightly outside.
His eyes shone with a peculiar light.

Back to the present.
Kiana was looking at the execution platform from above worriedly, the execution has already started and Bronya still hasn't made a move yet, she was starting to get restless. But suddenly, a loud explosion happened not far from the plaza.
*BOOM!!*
The audience and executioners were surprised and turned their head at the location of the explosion.
As if on cue, Kiana immediately jumped down from the balcony and landed on the execution platform, taking down one masked man by surprise in the process.
Kallen was also surprised at Kiana's sudden arrival.
"You are!?"
Kiana took a stance, ready to attack if she noticed any sudden movements, she took out a pair of pistols and pointed them to Arthur, who was guarding Kallen by the side.
"Alright! All I need to do is defeat you and it will be done, I won't be careless again this time! I've trained my ultimate evasion…"
Arthur then raised his hand… This alerted Kiana and she narrowed her eyes, thinking, 'Wait for the purple light to appear…'
Arthur's hand stopped and it pointed to a deserted alley on the left.
"Please take Kallen and go, there is a small alley over there, follow the path and you will reach a port, I have already prepared a boat to escape."
Kiana was surprised that Arthur didn't attack and instead helped them, she then spoke enthusiastically, "Wow, didn't know that you were a good guy, old man. I'm starting to like this VR world."
Kallen, after hearing Arthur's words, felt gratitude. But at the same time, worried about his safety.
"Grandpa Arthur, if you let me escape, you will…"
"It's fine, I'm already at this age, even if I get punished, I have nothing to regret."
Kiana then helped the weak Kallen to stand up and carried her away.
Arthur watched and gave a few parting words, "Please be sure to protect Kallen, young miss."
Kiana convinced Master Arthur, "Don't worry!"
We can see that this Master Arthur is the real Master Arthur and not Otto in disguise.
…
Suddenly the sound of explosions appeared again near the execution site.
*BOOM!
Kiana looked in the direction of the explosion site and thought confusedly 'Bronya? Is she still detonating bombs? '
From the location of the explosion, Honkai Beasts tens of meters in size suddenly started appearing and blindly attacked the people around the plaza.
*ROAR!*
"Run! Monsters have appeared! Save yourselves!"
"Mom! Please help me!!"
"Argh!"
Kiana, Kallen and Master Arthur were taken aback by this sudden change.
Arthur exclaimed in disbelief, "Why would Honkai Beast appear here!? The borders of this city are covered with a high alert security! There's no way any of them could have broken though!"
Suddenly, from the secluded alley, Otto appeared and clapped is hands slowly and spoke confidently.
(E/D: Warning! WARNING! Nude Alert! Nude Alert! Parental Guidance is needed!)
"Hehehe, this is because of my plan, no one would have thought that this would happen."
Seeing Otto suddenly appear out of nowhere, Kallen exclaimed, "Otto! Why are you here?
"Oh, my Kallen, I have come to greet you. My Father… pfft, that old man bishop thought that his plan is perfectly safe, thinking that transferring old followers and Valkyrie away from here for mission, resulting no one will be able to save you."
Otto added, "However, they forgot about the fearful monsters under the cathedral, those monsters that were captured by you. All I have to do is release their seals and use a few scapegoats to lure them out. The chaos they would make would case the whole fighting ability of Schicksal to fall apart. During the chaos, we will be able to leave here right away. Come, leave with me, Kallen."
"What you have done will harm a lot of innocent people!" Kallen said angrily.
"AH? Stop joking. Even if you add up all those civilians' life, they are not even worth one hair of yours, my goddess!"
Otto then continued, "My Kallen, finally no one will stop us from being together! Let's forget about Schicksal, this insignificant Honkai matter, and go on a trip~ I have already planned everything, next stop we will be going uppermost east which you miss the most."
Hearing Otto's words, Kallen finally couldn't help but slap Otto hard so he fell down and then said angrily.
*SLAP!
"Stop insulting me, Otto! The Kaslana is the guardian of the people, is the shield of the people. I will not escape and ignore the safety of the people! Thank you for your kindness, however the way you did is definitely wrong, I will never go with you."
Arthur gave Otto an indifferent gaze the looked at Kalen with worry in his eyes, "Miss Kallen! What are you going to do with your already weak body?"
With a determined expression, Kallen stated calmly, "I want to distract the Honkai Beasts away to protect the people. Is this what my father always said? Kaslana's blood heat? I feel like there's something I have to do regardless."
Hearing Kallen's words, Kiana excitedly said, "Let me help you, two people is better than one."
"Thank you, young miss… I mean, Miss Kiana."

*BAMM!*
Kouro hit the Honkai Beast he encountered with his bare hands until a gaping hole could be seen on the Honkai Beast's body due to the blow, he then saved someone who was currently standing still staring at Kouro blankly.
Kouro saw that there were a lot of Honkai Beast auras around the city, each of them had been modified by Otto, so they had the power to defeat an A-Rank Valkryie team.
"Shit! That's a lot of Honkai Beasts! Was it just for Kallen's sake, Otto would even do all of this?"
After dropping the person he rescued into a place he thought was safe, Kouro then went towards Bronya who was currently hiding and focused on staring at the interface screen.
"Mission plan position has been recreated stop searching, Oddity found, secret data store in this sector found, analyzing data... creating data..."
Bronya stared at the new information she found without blinking.
[Recorded Data No. 858: …During the execution, Honkai Beasts appeared near the plaza out of nowhere, while helping out the civilian, weakened Kallen Kaslana was killed by the Honkai Beasts…]
*Srekk! *
Near the execution site.
Kallen who was protecting a little girl, was pierced by a Honkai Beast's thorn that suddenly lengthened.
