I'm not just human!

"Silly child, who else could it be but me? Who else but me could pass on the Twelve Divine Swords of the End to Him? I am the previous Queen of the Puppet Sect."

"Oh..." Beneath nodded thoughtfully.

Heather Perria sighed softly:

"It seems that either you are special, or it's related to your master, but in the history of our Endless Domain, no one has ever learned the first sword of the Twelve Divine Swords of the End in such a calm state as you."

He then drew another line from between his brows, and this time the resulting crystalline light was even more dazzling and radiant.

"Now, I will pass on to you the second of the Twelve Divine Swords of the End, the Pulse-Breaking Divine Sword."

This time, Beneath obediently stood still and let Him teach her.

[With Heatherpuria's finger pointing, the second crystalline ray pierced into Benedict's brow.]

Beneath's tall, slender body trembled slightly, and after a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes in surprise:

"Amazing! If I had mastered these two swords earlier, I could have killed Fenrir the wolf in one go, without having to fight it for so long!"

Heather's expression softened further as she chuckled softly.

"Good boy, show me these two sword techniques."

【"good!"】

Beneath gave a crisp, clear reply, gripping the hilt of the greatsword, which was almost as tall as her, behind her with one hand.

[With a casual wave of her hand, Heatherpuria conjured up a hundred spells in the dark storage room, including fireballs of varying sizes, bolts of lightning that were about to be unleashed, and even wind blades.]

Heather Pelia waved her hand again, and hundreds of spells swept towards Benedictine. Judging from the sheer force of the attack, it was something that a mere insect-level puppet girl like Benedictine couldn't possibly withstand.

Without Heather Perriam's guidance, Beneath gave a soft shout, gripped her greatsword with both hands, and thrust it forward.

Her sword strike seemed unremarkable, with not even a hint of light emanating from the blade, but in the instant she thrust it out…

[Bang bang bang bang bang! 】

[The fireballs, lightning bolts, and wind blades rushing towards her in the air all dissipated at the same time!]

Heather Pearl's smile grew even wider.

"Very good, you've mastered it very well. This is the Divine Sword of Breaking Laws. It was painstakingly researched and developed by the God of Puppets for over three thousand years. Against opponents of your rank, you can break most elemental bond abilities with this sword."

Xia Fa was quite surprised. He had already finished eating the bear paw meat, but he didn't care about making another piece. He just wanted to keep watching.

The God of Puppetry? The Twelve Divine Swords of the End?

That's really impressive!

Especially this Divine Sword of Breaking Laws, it's practically invincible among its peers!

If it weren't for his ability to overcome three ranks and two levels to finish off the critically wounded and dying angel, Xia Fazhen would have been quite envious.

"Next up is the Pulse-Breaking Divine Sword."

Heather Perriat spoke, then casually made a grabbing motion in the air.

From the corner of the storage room, a squeak immediately rang out, and a large, fat rat was instantly caught in its palm.

[Benise's eyes lit up when she saw the big rat. Every time they did a big cleaning of the Magic Castle, she and her sisters loved to get rid of these nasty rats.]

Because mice steal dried fish to eat!

These aren't ordinary rats; they possess extraordinary powers, even capable of gnawing through the stone walls of the mechanical castle!

Heather didn't say much, and tossed the fat rat into the air.

"Hey!"

Beneath gave a soft shout and thrust her sword forward again.

This sword strike was equally unremarkable; the blade remained devoid of any luster.

[But the enormous, fat rat in the air suddenly let out a piercingly miserable squeak, fell to the ground, twitched slightly, then went limp, its head lolled to the side, and it was completely dead.]

Heather Amber's eyes were full of admiration.

"I didn't expect your mastery of the second sword to be even better than the first. This is the Meridian-Breaking Divine Sword from the Twelve Divine Swords of the End. As long as it's a living being with a substantial body, you can use this sword to pierce through its blood vessels, meridians, and even its heart meridian."

"This……"

Xia Fa was even more surprised when he saw this.

It should be noted that some secret abilities require the flow of extraordinary power through specific circuits within the bloodline of an extraordinary individual in order to be activated.

In this situation, if Benedict were to use the Bloodline Breaking Sword to destroy the enemy's bloodline, wouldn't that be equivalent to crippling the enemy?

Of course, compared to destroying the bloodline, directly destroying the heart meridian to kill the enemy seems to be more efficient...

"As expected of the swordsmanship created by the God of Puppetry, it's really quite powerful... I guess only doll girls can learn it?"

Xia Fa admitted that she was somewhat tempted.

The main reason is that he has a seal in the shape of a horse-slaying sword, but he is lacking some moves for regular fighting. After all, it is impossible to use "Silver Slash" every time, as that would consume too much energy.

Unfortunately, it is estimated that only doll girls or those chosen as the next doll princess can learn and master these Twelve Divine Swords of the End; humans probably cannot learn them.

After regaining his composure, Xia Fa continued reading.

Beneath a blush on her face, Beneath slung the greatsword back over her shoulder, then lifted her skirt with both hands and bowed to Heather.

"Thank you... um..."

Heather smiled kindly:

"From now on, you can call me teacher."

[Benise said obediently:]

"Thank you so much, teacher!"

[She had barely finished speaking when she couldn't help but let out a huge yawn, but she immediately realized her rudeness and lowered her head.]

"Teacher...I'm...I'm sorry."

Heather smiled gently:

"It's alright. This is because you exhausted too much mental energy from mastering the first two swords of the Twelve Divine Swords of the End. Go back and get some sleep. Tomorrow... tomorrow is a very crucial day for you."

What important day?

Xia Fa was about to continue reading when he suddenly realized that the lines of ink characters had reached the end.

He immediately started scratching his head in frustration, like someone who had been interrupted by a poor author while reading an online novel.

But Xia Fa immediately realized that the day-night cycle in the Endless Realm seemed to be different from that in the real world.

So... there are probably still records?

Xia Fa immediately turned to the next page, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

Sure enough, there were still records on the next page, but only half a page remained.

Xia Fa suddenly felt a sense of reluctance and immediately began reading.

Heather's soul shrank back into the obsidian ring, and Benedict carefully placed the floating obsidian ring onto the long, slender, white index finger of her left hand.

She yawned again, and dragged her tired body back to her bedroom.

The moment her head touched the pillow, she fell fast asleep.

Outside the magical castle, as time passed, three moons slowly set and three suns gradually rose.

"Get up! Get up!"

[Amidst the chirping of the mechanical parrot in the bedroom, Benedict rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed.]

She quickly washed up, put on a black dress and round-toed leather shoes, and prepared to set off immediately for the Land of Rising Stars to train and test the first two swords of the Twelve Divine Swords of the End that she had just learned.

But just then, the sound of bells ringing loudly rang out from inside the magical castle.

"Her Majesty the Queen has summoned us?"

Beneath muttered something curiously, but dared not delay, and hurried toward the main hall of the Ingenious Castle.

[Recalling what Teacher Heather Polya had mentioned yesterday, that something big seemed to be happening today, Benedict immediately touched the obsidian ring on the index finger of her other hand and asked in a low voice:]

"Hey, teacher, do you know what's going on?"

But after waiting for a long time, there was no response; it seemed the teacher's soul had fallen into a deep sleep.

A look of confusion crossed Benedict's face, and she had no choice but to hurry to the hall.

Upon arriving at the hall, she saw many of her sisters standing there. At the far end of the hall, there was a round platform with an ancient and weathered stone tablet on it.

Queen Lumir, the doll queen, sat regally on her mechanical throne, holding a scepter, her dignified and noble face filled with solemnity.

"Alright, our most lazybones, Benedict Cumberbatch, is here too. The rank test can begin now."

[Rank Detection!]

Beneath was startled; she realized she had completely forgotten about this!

Every doll girl must undergo a rank test every year after turning eighteen.

This is a rule that has been passed down since ancient times, established by a certain puppet queen. It seems that the original intention was to urge the puppet girls to train hard in order to prepare for potential crises such as sudden beast tides and strange armies.

[A dozen or so doll-like girls stepped forward, all of them just turning eighteen this year, like Beneath.]

Today, it's the turn of these doll girls, who have just turned eighteen, to undergo their rank test.

However, Benedict was still the youngest among them.

Beneath was filled with trepidation, unsure of the other sisters' rank, but she still stepped forward and stood with the doll-like girls.

It was only then that Benedict noticed that some distinguished guests had arrived at the Ingenious Castle.

Those are siren. In the Endless Realm, siren are the second largest race after the doll girls.

However, the sirens failed to develop into a civilization, instead living and gathering in groups as lake tribes or sea tribes.

Sometimes, the doll girl will form an adventure partnership with the sirens, and together they will go to various wildernesses or ruins in the Endless Realm to train.

However, sometimes the doll girl will fight with the siren, but of course, she won't hurt them.

Before Beneath could think any further, the first doll-like girl had already stepped onto the circular platform, extending one hand and placing it on the testing stone tablet.

[The test stone tablet flashed, and immediately the phantom image of a giant elephant appeared.]
