Honkai Impact 3rd: Yumeji Satsuki's lies

I stared at the enemies I was facing in this first real combat, before squinting and grimacing at their somewhat unique appearances.

And their appearance... Oh my, they're so ugly that even ghosts and demons will hate them. They look like mutated lantern fish with jagged teeth and disgusting bulging eyes.

I frowned at the group of sea monsters surrounding the boat while holding the black sword in my hand.

".....Boost."

This skill of mine has now reached Lv.5, allowing me to increase all stats by 45% for up to 10 minutes. But that's not my purpose, I save a little to enhance my senses and reflexes, the rest I transfer Boost energy into my weapon, causing the blade to glow slightly red in the skill's aura.

I raised my sword and took a defensive stance. As soon as a sea monster charged towards me, I quickly noticed and rotated the sword in my hand, then slashed twice, one straight and one horizontal, to carve a large X-shaped cut on the sea monster's belly, then quickly kicked it forward, sending the sea monster flying back into the sea.

I was confident that I could turn these sea monsters into sashimi or seven-course fish if I wanted.

Just as I thought that, two more sea monsters jumped up to attack me.

I kicked the side of the boat to launch myself into the air to avoid the pincer attack, then I turned in the air and aimed the tip of my sword to stab straight through the sea monster on the left. Ignoring its clumsiness, I twisted the sword to destroy its core, killing it before it could even yawn, landing back on the side of the boat, I immediately swung my leg and kicked the corpse of the sea monster on the left towards the sea monster on the right that once again jumped out of the water.

Seeing the two sea monsters collide in the air, I quickly grabbed the fishing spear placed nearby, poured Boost energy into my right hand, causing my bicep to swell violently, then poured a little more energy into the spear tip and threw it away.

Like a chain arrow tearing through the sky, the fishing spear occasionally surpassed the speed of sound and pierced straight through the bodies of the two sea monsters, finishing them off.

Immediately, countless sea monsters with the appearance of baby octopuses shot up from the water surface to surround me.

Although I was a bit exhausted from the previous attack, I still let out a breath and put strength into my right wrist, firmly grasped the hilt of my sword, and swung it in a chaotic sword dance.

Countless sword slashes accompanied by a crimson halo were unleashed, surrounding all directions in a chaotic slash, tearing apart the bodies and severing the tentacles of countless octopuses that surrounded and attacked.

Just as I had just stopped for a moment after clearing the octopuses due to the pain from overstretching my muscles, a few tentacles rose from the surface of the sea and tied me up.

"Ack!"

I gritted my teeth in pain as the tentacles tightened and tried to pull me towards the side of the boat, as if it wanted to drag me into the sea.

'If I get pulled into the water, I'm hopeless'

As I thought that in my head, I tried to muster up strength to resist, but it was useless. It also used its tentacles to cover my mouth to prevent me from screaming.

This octopus monster is so smart. It's making me a little scared. I looked around, everyone was busy, so I had to take care of myself.

'Cloud Flame - Maximum Power!!'

Lv.4 Cloud Flame at maximum power, everything that touched me would be burned by the 1000°C orange flame. Even the tentacles cowered in fear from the sudden heat. I immediately struggled to break free, grabbed the black sword, and swung it a few times, cutting off 5 or 6 tentacles. The sea monster took damage and retracted its tentacles while still hiding under the sea.

A smart monster - But you picked the wrong opponent.

"Boost ver sense x5"

Immediately, my eyes turned red and shone as if I was in a trance. All of my senses had been enhanced by about 1000 times compared to a normal person.

Now my vision was thousands of miles away, and my hearing had also been expanded to allow me to perceive all types of sounds regardless of frequency.

I used both my vision and hearing that had been enhanced to a super level to locate the octopus sea monster hiding under the sea.

After 15 seconds, I finally located it.

Still maintaining my enhanced senses, I grabbed a fishing spear again and enhanced it with Boost and Cloud Flame.

Meanwhile, I tried my best to push it into my right hand with x3 Boost ver strong.

The muscles swelled up to a bright red color, then contracted and became as hard and solid as steel, grabbing the red fishing spear that was as bright as a rocket and launching it, a distance of 20 meters, 50 meters deep under the sea surface.

.

The red spear stirred up the sea and pierced straight into the core of the octopus monster at a depth of 50m under the sea, then exploded, causing the ship to suffer a not small shock, the surface of the sea, although small, turned red as if there was a sun on the sea for about 5 seconds before suddenly going out.

Of course, after performing such a magnificent act, I could not be unharmed because my right hand continuously had dull pain as the muscle fibers were stretched and broken, the bones also cracked and creaked.

The level of misery was only slightly less than Deku's hand in My Hero Academia, the first few times he used One for All. Not only that, because of the enhanced senses and the constant pressure to use skills, my nerves were under a lot of pressure, causing me to now feel dizzy and fall back against the side of the boat while my nose was bleeding.

Wiping away the blood from my nose, I looked around to see what was happening.

Kiana was using her giant cat hands and feet to knock the sea monsters into the air, then unleashing a hail of bullets from her twin guns to finish them off.

Meanwhile, Fu Hua was in over her head, one-shotting each sea monster with just her fists and kicks. The sea monster corpses were piled up like straw, sometimes with some of them with their heads crushed to pieces, completely unrecognizable because she swung her legs too much. What a scary person

Meanwhile, Himeko was making grilled fish, because each of her slashes carried enough firepower to roast each sea monster.

How the hell am I always the most miserable and miserable one out of all of them!? What a fucking life!

I sighed inwardly as I realized the unpleasant truth.
