Honkai Impact, I'm not a Ditto!

Otto nodded.

“It’s good that you’re alright. Sikong, would you like to continue trying?” Otto changed the subject and offered his suggestion, “I think you should perhaps rest for a while and wait until your control over the Gem of Desire is stronger before training with Durandal again.”

"No, Lord Otto, I'm still in pretty good shape. As long as I don't use that move rashly, I can still control the Desire Gem."

The Black Greatsword version of Gate of Babylon consumes far more resources than Sikong had imagined, given his mastery of the Gem of Tranquility.

It's entirely within my means.

but......

The Gem of Desire, which had just been fused into his body, was unwilling to let Sifeng activate so many of his Lawyer powers.

simply put.

The desire for gems is like a wild horse that refuses to obey.

The Tranquility Gem has been largely tamed, though a sad barrier still stands between them.

Sikong's only option now is to strengthen his spiritual power.

Then try to use your mental power to break through this barrier.

If he succeeds, he will be able to control the Herrscher's powers without any hindrance, just like the Herrschers themselves.

"Hmm... If you think it's okay, then let's continue."

Otto did not force Sikong to rest.

To be honest, he really wanted to see just how powerful Sikong had become.

The stronger the opponent, the more excited Otto became.

After finishing his conversation with the Archbishop of Destiny, Sikong looked at Durandal, who was riding a warhorse. The blonde, blue-eyed girl was staring at him with a serious expression, her face expressionless.

“Miss Durandal, let’s continue.” Sikong raised the jet-black greatsword with both hands, thinking to himself, “Since I can’t use the Gate of Babylon, then let me taste the power of a forty-meter-long greatsword.”

Long ago, Sikong wanted to use the power of decay to form a great sword.

Unfortunately...

The speed of the withering power was too slow; Sikong's greatsword had already been swung down.

The black greatsword had only traveled a short distance.

This renders it completely useless.

Now Sikong doesn't need to worry about that anymore.

As long as the power of wind is integrated into the greatsword formed by the power of decay, the attack speed can be accelerated, allowing him to truly experience what a forty-meter-long greatsword is like!

"I'll keep an eye on the knight's level of madness!"

As soon as Sikong finished speaking, a layer of light black sword energy wrapped around the jet-black greatsword and extended forward for about forty meters along the blade.

The power of decay, based on the jet-black greatsword, formed a pale black greatsword that was terrifying to behold.

Chapter 201 S-Rank

After hearing Sikong's words.

Durandal was stunned for a second.

That forty-meter-long greatsword certainly looks pretty crazy.

"Take this!"

With Sikong's attack, the battle in the training ground has reached a fever pitch.

Even with the sixth divine key—Black Abyss White Flower—in hand, Durandal didn't want to have too much contact with the forty-meter-long, pale black greatsword.

What is there to say?

"Yes, but it's unnecessary."

Durandal simply rode her warhorse, constantly dodging attacks, like a grasshopper.

Sikong expended a great deal of effort.

One sword sweeps horizontally, another sword slashes.

The forty-meter-long greatsword was wielded with great force. As long as Sikong swung it in a wide arc, nearly half of the training ground would be within his attack range, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression. However, he couldn't even touch a hair on Durandal's head.

"Is she stalling for time, waiting for me to collapse on my own?"

"Should I surrender?"

"Anyway, I've tried out almost all the new skills..."

Sikong had this idea in his mind, but he soon realized that it was wrong.

Durandal was simply analyzing the weakest point in Sikong's defense when he swung his sword.

And now...

The flaw had already been discovered by Durandal. Taking advantage of the moment when Sikong swung his sword again, she spurred her horse and charged straight at the black-haired man.

"So fast! She was hiding her strength just now?"

By the time Sikong realized this, it was too late; the Black Abyss White Flower in Youlandel's hand stabbed towards his body.

no way.

Sikong could only use the power of the Desire Gem to manipulate the hurricane and quickly retreat, but Durandal's speed was no slower than his flight speed.

As he flew backward, Sikong dispersed the decaying power on his greatsword, condensing it into a wall in front of him.

They tried to stop Durandal, but unfortunately, their defenses were ineffective against her.

Durandal completely disregarded the thick barrier of decaying power, channeling the creative power within the Black Abyss White Flower to cover her body, intending to shatter this black wall.

This gave Sikong some time, and he took off while the opponent's view was obstructed.

They wanted to escape Durandal's attack range.

The moment Sikong flew up.

Durandal also broke through the black wall, but she did not have the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand.

Where is her weapon?

Sikong was stunned for a moment, then realized that the Black Abyss White Flower had pierced through the black mist and was already in front of his chest.

It was too late to dodge at that point.

"This is... a throw? How did she guess I would fly, and even predict the location so accurately! Durandal, are you cheating?!"

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Sikong crashed again.

Hei Yuan Bai Hua struck him in the chest with the butt of his spear. Even so, it completely threw Si Kong's Honkai energy out of balance, causing him to lose his grip on the pitch-black greatsword and let it fall freely.

If the spear tip had hit him, it might have created a large hole in Sikong's chest.

Just before hitting the ground, Sikong regained his balance and relied on the hurricane to protect himself.

After a smooth landing.

Sikong rubbed the dented third-generation Destiny Knight armor. It seemed that this Destiny armor would have to be handed over to the Destiny Organization for repairs later.

"Miss Durandal is truly amazing. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly." Sikong exclaimed before asking, "However... that prediction was incredibly accurate. How did you manage to do that?"

"I'm just inferring what choice you would make in this situation based on your previous performance. As long as you train hard, you can do the same as me."

Durandal began to expound on her theory of effort.

Sikong immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "That's right, Miss Durandal is absolutely right. Without hard work, I would never have been able to reach A-level so quickly."

"So you think so too. It seems we have a lot in common."

Durandal's eyes lit up.

A slight change finally appeared on the face of the blonde, blue-eyed Valkyrie.

Otto: "......"

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Looking at Sikong, who echoed Yulandel.

Otto recalled how Sikong had been spending time at St. Freya Academy eating, drinking, and having fun with Kiana and the others, while secretly dating Raiden Mei behind everyone's back.

At this moment, Otto only wanted to say one thing to Sikong: "Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

If Otto hadn't transplanted two gems into Sikong, he wouldn't have been able to reach A-rank so quickly, nor would he have had the chance to spar with Durandal.

In Otto's opinion, Durandal had already held back quite a bit during the battle just now.

If that S-rank Valkyrie attacks with all her might.

Sikong should have collapsed to the ground long ago.

Most of the time, Durandal was dodging Sikong's attacks, letting him familiarize himself with his newly acquired power. But when Durandal made her move, it was a fatal blow.

"Durandal's strength has surpassed that of all previous S-rank Valkyries..."

Otto's eyes narrowed slightly.

In the training field, Durandal was still chatting with Si Kong.

"Rank A? I think with Major Sikong's strength, he is now fully worthy of the rank S. Your move just now made me feel a little threatened, but unfortunately I couldn't unleash it."

Durandal looked regretful.

The other party was referring to the black greatsword version of Gate of Babylon.

The Death Herald's withering power is top-notch in terms of destructive force. Its only drawback is that it is not fast enough. When combined with the Herald's power of craving gems, the threat of this move increases exponentially.

If Durandal didn't have the Black Abyss White Flower, she probably wouldn't have dared to take that attack head-on.

A sense of helplessness flashed through Sikong's heart.

"My ultimate move, which I can't use yet... only posed a slight threat to Durandal. The gap between us is still quite large."

Sikong also knew that Durandal had been holding back during the battle just now, and that she would make a move once she attacked.
