Honkai Impact 3rd: Will Of The Universe

(S2) Scab

"Wangwo?"

The trio were confused after Lin explained the situation of what Kiana experienced earlier.

"Wangwo is a type of episode when someone forgot their own memory." The disciple walked forward with her arms behind her back as she gaze at the sky. "It happened before. A girl was once enticed by a mind seal, lost her identity, and thought she became an Empyrea."

"Those who have weak minds, dissatisfied with their lives, or prone to fantasizing are prone and easily vulnerable to this state." When Shiro heard that, he could only clenched his fist, and as of now Kiana and the others doesn't deserved this kind of life of which they are experiencing.

"Strange... You do not exhibit those vices. It seems Master Phoenix really didn't teach you the Blade Mantra Swara."

"She said I was too old to learn the Blade Mantra." Kiana replied as the disciple sighs her master skipping lessons that are meant to be taught. Thus Bronya inquired. "Master Lin, what is the Blade Mantra?"

Lin faced the crowd and explained it to them. "Warriors believe the Blade Mantra is a state of mind, only a few disciples of Taixuan knew it true component. The Swara."

"This also meant as reaching an Epiphany, right?" Shiro confirmed as he also experienced similar to that. Evolving Limit break to Spirit Break, and now that the curse grew strong it evolves into Chaos Limit Break.

"Correct." The martial artist agreed to his confirmation and she understood that he might as well experienced it before. And from his presence alone, Lin also understood that she can't beat him, that he is also a monster.

"The Swara is a vocalized mantra with 462 syllables that has never been written down." As the details was passed to them. Kiana raised a hand in question. "Will this allow me to control of my power."

"Perhaps." Lin was not sure and remained transparent, as she have not reached to that state yet. "But only the Master Phoenix knew what the Blade Swara meant. To us, it is a strange chat that carries no meaning."

"But when chanted, it has meaning and power." Kiana remembered of what Owl said regarding the old assassin has passed away.

Despite Owl being in a half-awaken state, he saw the old man on his last stand heard the words that the assassin recited. "My body is made of swords!"  It has no meaning to what the other means, but this also signifies of the core in your mind, your will and belief. 

"Yet the mere act of reciting it in your heart activates the effects of the Swara. It forges, hardens, and strengthens your body into a conduit and your mind into a reservoir."

"The Blade Swara appears to be a form subliminal or hypnotic device." Bronya then understood the mechanics of it.

"And it appears that this method can only be mastered through years of hard work and training." The white haired girl could only sigh as why the Hua didn't taught her of this. "Then why did Fu Hua not taught me this?"

"The class monitor probably... Has her own ideas." Speculated by Bronya but cannot provide any evidence which is just a dead end again.

"I understand that you wanted to uncover more of the buried secrets. But for now, you will need some rest. That's why you forgot your identity, as fatigue are one the factors that you are also experiencing Wangwo."

"She's right." Shiro spoke up siding with Lin. "While this is importance, I need to also guarantee your mental health Kiana." His parental instincts activated as well as triggering his obsession to the girl's well being.

"We should head back to the Helios to reciprocate. Dr. Tesla has given me instructions to perform a daily check on subject Kiana."

Kiana surrenders as it is 2 against 1. And pushing against her limits is not advisable too. "Alright let's head back."
