Moe Girl Guardians

The world of Godslayers is their birthplace. People like Ena Kiyoshuu and Yuri Mariya were forced to come to Gensokyo by power. After the tunnel was opened, they rarely came back here.

To his surprise, Erica and Lily had been waiting for him all along. It was strange, though; he hadn't been deliberately looking for them, but if they were there, he should have run into them. Why hadn't he encountered them even once?

He had always believed that only Luo Hao, his adopted sister, had given up everything in the world of Godslayer and stayed here to improve her strength...

"...My king, you must believe in me and Lily," Erica said softly as she walked up to Wu Feng and leaned against him from behind.

"We are the royal guard knights recognized by the king, and we will never easily leave his side. Only if the king commands us will we come to your side as quickly as possible."

“Lily too, as long as it is our king’s order, we will not hesitate to sacrifice our lives.” Seeing Erica’s statement, Lily also stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of Wu Feng, saying excitedly.

"...So many years have passed, and you haven't changed at all..." Seeing Lily's reaction and Erica's previous behavior, Wu Feng smiled nostalgically.

So many years have passed, and the two of them still maintain the same personalities as before, and even their appearances haven't changed. They are still pretty young girls. Humans can't do that, right?

"By the way, why are Erica and Lily here?" Wu Feng suddenly asked, remembering the main mission. Although he already knew that the people Youji mentioned were the two of them, he still had his doubts.

"...Lord Youji told us that the King had given an order, so Lily and I rushed back immediately," Erica and Lily exchanged a glance, then said with excited smiles.

"..." Wu Feng frowned. He knew Erica and Lily's strength. They had only reached the lower level of ferocity when they were in Godslayer. They might be able to deal with the weakest divine beasts, but in the Inuyasha world, it would be too dangerous.

The word "no" rang out. Although Lily and Erica's loyalty and obedience could be guaranteed, death was too easy in that world, and he might not be able to take care of them.

"Why!" Erica and Lily exclaimed simultaneously. After waiting for the summons for ten years, the result was just a "no," which suppressed their excited feelings.

"The mission is too dangerous. Your strength is still a bit lacking. Even I am not that strong in that world. I need a strong assistant," Wu Feng said slowly, not wanting the two of them to have any other ideas.

"So that's the reason," Lily said with a sigh of relief. The reason for the rejection was unknown, which was hard for her to accept. If it were just a matter of strength...

"My king, please forgive my rudeness," Erica greeted him with a smile, her beloved sword Reinhardt already in her hand.

Like a gust of wind, Erica vanished from her spot in an instant, appearing before Wu Feng, her longsword transforming into a blur as she thrust it towards him.

Frowning slightly at the incoming attack, was she trying to prove her strength? Wu Feng guessed that Erica's strength had increased much more than he had imagined, actually breaking through to the upper level of Ferocity and reaching the lower level of Madness.

He had only been gone for a little over ten years, and in those ten years he had gone from being a fierce demon to a mad demon? That was the strength of one of the strongest Godslayers in the Godslayer world. Even if the two of them were very talented, they didn't have the same age and foundation as Luo Hao, so their improvement was simply too astonishing.

But that's still not enough. The sword's sharpness couldn't even stop his punch, making her unsuitable for the mission. Wu Feng wouldn't let Erica participate in a mission if she was only at this level.

"Erica, what are you planning to do!" Just as he raised his hand to catch Reinhardt, a delicate shout rang out, and another figure had already arrived in front of Wu Feng, blocking Reinhardt with a greatsword.

“Needless to say, it’s to prove that we have the strength to follow the king. You don’t want to be abandoned because of your strength, do you?” Erica said with a smile, wearing the Silver Master badge.

“There are other ways, but you absolutely cannot attack the king!” Lily firmly objected. No matter the reason, a knight must not lay a hand on the king.

“…Lily can take her place.” Erica smiled like a fox, and magical wings lit up beneath her feet. In an instant, she surpassed Wu Feng’s capture speed and arrived at the other side of the courtyard, in the open space directly in front of Wu Feng.

"Let us demonstrate our achievements in this short period of time before our King." (To be continued...)

Chapter 386 Valkyrie

“Alright, I accept the challenge. It’s been a long time since I’ve sparred with Erica.” The two train in different places and only meet occasionally. Lily is quite looking forward to sparring with Erica.

Holding the Silver Masterpiece in both hands, Lily stood on the other side of the courtyard, opposite Erica, her pretty face showing a slight, excited fighting spirit.

Initially, it wasn't Erica who launched the attack as Wu Feng had predicted. Instead, Lily took the initiative, transforming the Silver Master into a silver-white longbow with five energy arrows nocked on it, which she then fired simultaneously at Erica.

With unimaginable speed, Erica almost became a series of afterimages, flashing past the energy arrow as if mocking it.

But while Erica was dodging, Lily had already disappeared. When she reappeared, she was right next to Erica. The Silver Master once again transformed into the form of a greatsword and slashed down from the sky.

Before the full-force slash could even hit Erica, the silver-white longsword was already there, blocking the Silver Master in mid-air.

The shockwaves generated by the clash of weapons swept over the White Jade Tower. If it were an ordinary room, it would probably have been shattered long ago. It was clear that Lily, who was skilled with the greatsword, had the upper hand in terms of strength. Erica's pretty face showed a slight strain as she tried to block the attack.

A slight seriousness appeared on Wu Feng's pretty face. In his eyes, Erica and Lily's strength was enough to pose a threat to him in his normal form, but that was all.

Although both of them have made great progress, and are even comparable to Luo Hao, their foundation is still too weak. They are only considered to be at an excellent level in the lower ranks of Kuang, and may not even be as strong as Shen Yue or Ye Yue.

But what happened next slightly surprised him. Was it true that it retained its original characteristics?

"Lily. It seems our king is not satisfied with his current strength. Why don't you unleash your full power?" Wings reappeared from beneath her long legs. In a flash, Erica escaped Lily's attack range, waving her sword in one hand and speaking with a light laugh.

Lily let out a muffled groan, but didn't seem to object to Erica's words.

A beautiful azure color, like the sky of Gensokyo, ignited on Lily's body, releasing a unique energy. Lily herself floated up from the ground, and a dazzling blue light appeared within Hakugyokurou. However, this did not conflict with Hakugyokurou's death; they were not opposing forces.

The dazzling light seemed to form a pair of wings behind Lily. When the light faded, the blue and black striped cloak had been covered by blue women's armor, and the black close-fitting dress had turned into a pure white long dress.

The blue armored boots landed with a crisp sound, and the Silver Master also changed its form after the transformation, becoming more slender and wrapped in a faint blue light.

"Erica, show me your strongest power! Your normal form is no match for me when you use your powers," Lily's familiar voice came from inside the armor. Gripping her longsword, she was ready to strike at any moment.

"Why don't you give it a try first? I'd love to try it too. Just how different are the normal form and the power mode?" Erica said earnestly, twirling her sword with one hand and aiming it at Lily.

"Then I'll force her out," a calm, unwavering voice rang out. In an instant, Wu Feng seemed to see those azure wings of light behind her again.

Lily walked slowly toward Erica, her steel-clad boots making a crisp sound with each step, bringing a terrifying pressure that even she, who was not on the battlefield, could feel the death throbbing within her.

The longsword was drawn, tracing a calm path in the air, yet Erica felt an inescapable urge to avoid it, forced to watch helplessly as it approached.

"I can't win. I'm far too weak in my normal form," Erica thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile. "To think I could defeat Lily's powers in my normal form is either overestimating myself or underestimating Lily."

Before the longsword fell, a crimson light burst forth from Erica's body, forcing Lily to retract her sword. When the light dissipated, it revealed a garment identical to the one Lily wore: an upper body of armor and a lower body of skirt, but in a crimson color.

If you still can't see the reason for the two's changes by now, then Wu Feng's trip to the Godslayer World was in vain, and he even became the oldest Godslayer. With power, the two of them undoubtedly returned to the Godslayer World, successfully killed the disobedient god, and became the new Godslayers.

Moreover, they appear to be similar disobedient gods, their powers seeming far too alike.

After the transformation, the combat level increased significantly. Apart from strength, other attributes even surpassed those of his normal form.

Swords clashed repeatedly in every corner of the courtyard. The two, whose strengths were already similar, chose similar powers, resulting in a stalemate. It would be a long time before a winner was decided.

“Lily has grown quite a bit too,” Erica said with a light laugh during the battle, showing no sign of tension.

"Hmph," Lily didn't refute Erica's words, but the speed at which she swung her longsword increased again, constantly attacking Erica's vitals from all angles.

Before the next clash of weapons, both men were jolted, their attacks abruptly halted, stopped in mid-air at the last moment before impact.

The open cherry-colored parasol was positioned between the two women's weapons, firmly blocking them in mid-air. No matter how hard they tried, they could not advance an inch further.

"That's enough. I approve of your participation in this mission," Wu Feng said to the two of them, peeking out from under the parasol, while stepping forward to close the parasol.

"Not bad power." He gripped the umbrella tightly, still feeling a slight numbness in his hand; the combined attack from the two had also affected him somewhat.

This wasn't some full-force attack or a kill shot; it was just a normal collision that caused his arm to go numb. Even a regular Berserker would probably have to be careful to handle it, so at least he would have the ability to protect himself during the mission.

Moreover, Sarah just told him that it would be best to bring Erica and Lily along, as their powers would be of great use as guards.

"Wang easily blocked it, didn't he?" The bright red armor disappeared, revealing the shapely body underneath. Erica walked to his side with a forced smile and said with slight surprise.

On the other side, Lily also seemed quite devastated. She had thought she could give Wang a surprise, but she didn't expect that the two of them could easily block each other during their fight. In that situation, at least she couldn't block it.

"Don't worry, your strength is definitely at the peak level among the middle-level Madmen, and head-on confrontation is exactly what I'm best at," Wu Feng explained. Head-on confrontation is exactly the way he can utilize his strength advantage.

"Speaking of which, I never expected you to become god-slayers..." Wu Feng said with a hint of regret. It had only been a little over ten years since he left that world, but it felt like hundreds of years had passed...

"This is the fastest way for us to improve our strength."

"Which rebellious god did you kill?" Wu Feng asked in confusion. In the world of Godslayers, power manifested in this form seemed quite rare.

"Valkyrie," Erica and Lily exchanged a glance and said with a smile.

“Valkyrie is the Grim Reaper who guides Heroic Spirits, and also the strongest Valkyrie. As the King’s personal guard knight, we believe she is most suitable to serve as an authority,” Erica explained beside Wu Feng.

Valkyrie, the strongest Valkyrie under the gods, and also a warrior protecting the gods...

"Valkyrie... which ones are they?" Wu Feng asked after considering. Valkyrie is not the name of a god, but more like a profession. Powerful Valkyries can kill gods, while weak ones are just warriors under the gods. Judging from the combat power they just displayed, they are clearly not lowly Valkyries.

"Lenas Valkyrie," Lily raised her small face, her voice filled with confidence. This was the name of the strongest Valkyrie, several times stronger than ordinary disobedient gods.

Upon hearing the name "Freya," Lily immediately lowered her head in dejection. Erica wore a faint smile; this was a significant blow to Lily after their separate slaying of gods.

I may not be stronger than you in terms of skill, but I'm definitely one step ahead! (To be continued...)

Chapter 387 Just ignore the fiancée thing.

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng paused, his expression turning strange. Freya, the Norse goddess of love and beauty, is renowned for her beauty and martial arts skills, but besides her divine status, she also has another identity…

Freya, the Valkyrie's commander, is in charge of nearly half of the Heroic Spirits in Valhalla. She is renowned for her bravery, which explains why her powers are so strikingly similar to those of Freya.

So that means Lily's boss...

No wonder Lily was in a bad mood. She had always been overshadowed by Erica, and even after finally becoming a god-slayer, she was still being overshadowed.

"Please accept my condolences..." Looking at Lily beside him, Wu Feng didn't know how to comfort her... It took him a while to manage to utter a single sentence. Hearing the words of comfort, Lily seemed even more dejected...

"Ahem, let's talk about the effects of the power first, the state you were in just now, right?" Wu Feng coughed awkwardly and changed the subject, asking the two of them.

“Yes, Lily and I both have powers composed of two aspects. They seem to be special disobedient gods, without the composition of words of power. With just a little preparation time, we can activate them immediately,” Erica said with a slight nod.

"One of the powers is Valkyrie. Valkyries are powerful warriors. When used, they will enter a special state, the state the king saw, greatly enhancing their strength."

"The second type of Heroic Spirit, Valkyrie, is the Grim Reaper who guides Heroic Spirits. With the consent of the recipient, she can guide a 10% chance of them becoming a Heroic Spirit under her command after death."

"Are the guided Heroic Spirits permanent, or are they summoned?" Upon hearing the Heroic Spirit's power, Wu Feng subconsciously asked. The Heroic Spirits here shouldn't be the same as those in the Type-Moon world, right? If that's the case, then this power is too strong.

In the Type-Moon universe, Heroic Spirits are more like deities. Deceased heroes become Heroic Spirits. But they are not merely Heroic Spirits; rather, they embody various attributes, making them even more powerful.

With the host's help, magical power becomes limitless, the creation of Reality Marbles becomes possible, weapons become Noble Phantasms, and physical strength is enhanced. Those who become Heroic Spirits are already extraordinary, and with further enhancement, they immediately become the strongest warriors.

“It must exist permanently and require a place to live, and it can’t be in a different world from us. Otherwise, it can’t be summoned. I don’t have any Heroic Spirits yet,” Erica said with a slight headache. Although she had two powers, it was as if she only had one; the other one couldn’t be used.

"Me neither," Lily said, noticing Wu Feng's gaze sweeping over her. To her, having this power was the same as not having it; she just wanted to stay by the king's side as a knight.

Wu Feng nodded slightly; this was within his expectations. Finding a human in Gensokyo who was below the two of them but capable of becoming a Heroic Spirit... that was truly quite difficult...

"You've worked hard. Becoming a Godslayer must have been incredibly difficult," Wu Feng said apologetically, looking at their unchanged appearances. Ten years had passed; if they hadn't become Godslayers, they would surely be much more mature... compared to himself...orz

"Is the King thinking about... what we'll look like in ten years?" Erica whispered seductively beside Wu Feng.

"Ten years from now, Lily will probably be more mature and full-figured by now."

"Erica!" Lily cried out, her face flushed, as the Silver Master appeared in her hand, almost unable to resist striking again.

"...Erica, I already have a fiancée..." A fair hand had already climbed up to her collar when Wu Feng's feet opened a gap, and he disappeared from the spot, emerging awkwardly from the side.

"...Fiancée, it's only natural after all this time. Is she the leader of the Luo Hao sect?" Lily and Erica fell silent after hearing this. After a moment, Erica guessed.

"...Why did you think of Lian...? She's just my sworn sister..." Wu Feng said hesitantly. It seemed that more than one person thought there was something between her and Lian, but so far, they really had nothing going on...

"Besides, Lian's progress is no less than yours. If she hears this, I won't be able to help you."

"No, even if the cult leader heard it, he wouldn't be angry with us..." Erica shook her head and said affirmatively.
