The story of the black silk female knight

Because those who cultivate the power of the mind are so rare, it could even be said that there is only one school of thought, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand the truth of this power.

Furthermore, the upper and lower limits of mental power vary greatly depending on how it is used, which has led to a misunderstanding of the Phantom Thief's strength among the public.

If that's the case with Miss Phantom Thief, then Gray Rat, who is also a partygoer and mortal enemy of Miss Phantom Thief, is probably the same. So this truth is not unexpected for Valensa.

“That’s right, the vast majority of Gray Rat’s strength comes from magic circles… Her magic circle skills are likely even better than those of the sages in the Sage’s Tower who specialize in studying magic circles!”

Tia was once again greatly impressed by the magic circle before her:

"Take this magic circle for example. Each of its three functions is not difficult on its own, but the way they are combined and made so ingeniously makes it a true work of art..."

"You wait!"

Seeing that Tia seemed about to launch into a lengthy explanation of the technique, Valensa quickly interrupted her:

"If you want to study this magic circle, I can spend time with you later. Now, tell me, how come the gray rat isn't human? And how exactly do we break this magic circle?"

"Uh... well."

Tia realized she was getting a little too excited and quickly composed herself:

"Didn't I tell you before? This magic circle can also link the souls of multiple lives... That's the secret behind why Gray Rat is mistaken for a summoner."

She didn't actually know how to summon magic... or rather, she knew very little. She simply linked her soul with the entire rat swarm, becoming the rat swarm itself.

The rats we killed before could all be considered part of her body.

And Valencia, you must have noticed that too, right?

Since we broke through to this point, apart from that Blood Demon Ratman, all those giant rats that had been hindering and chasing us have disappeared... Why do you think that is?"

"You mean..."

Valensa narrowed her eyes and quickly understood:

"Grey Rat had long anticipated that someone would try to destroy the magic circle, and she also realized that Blood Demon Ratmen alone might not be able to defend this place."

So that's why she added the function of causing a massive explosion if the magic circle was violently destroyed, and she even evacuated the rats who were her clones beforehand, so that only we would be blown into the air?

"That's right... and not only that."

Tia nodded:

"There's another gray rat fighting Miss Yashiro in the arena, right? That gray rat should be one of the gray rat's human bodies. She's probably planning to blow that body up into the sky too, so that everyone will think she's going to die with us, and they'll be less vigilant against her, making it easier for her to commit her next crime."

"What a cunning mouse... I almost got tricked by her."

Valensa patted her chest and then hugged Tia again:

"Thank goodness Tia was here, otherwise I might have really become a self-righteous but clumsy female knight... So, what should we do next?"

"This magic circle cannot be destroyed for the time being. It seems that Sister Lika and the others will have to stay in the petrification curse for a while longer."

Tia hesitated for a moment:

"However, while the magic circle can maintain the curse, it cannot provide power to the gray rat itself... The power that enabled the gray rat to easily suppress Miss Yashiro came from the entire rat swarm."

Now that Miss Lanzhi is out of danger, Miss Yashiro should be able to act without restraint... As long as we kill a few more rats to weaken the Gray Rat, Miss Yashiro should be able to handle the arena herself.”

"Kill more rats, huh? Hmph, I've been waiting for this for ages."

This time, it was Valensa's turn to smile triumphantly.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then pointed to Lanzhi, who was still unconscious:

"How about this... Tia, you take her to a safe place for treatment first, so that Miss Yashiro can be completely at ease."

As for those big rats underground, leave them to me... I've already prepared a secret weapon that's incredibly effective at dealing with rats!

"Special effects secret weapon?"

Tia squinted her eyes:

"What kind of secret weapon is so mysterious that it needs to send me away first? Could it be that the weapon itself is a stunningly beautiful woman?"

"Hahaha... How could that be? Tia, you're overthinking it~~"

Valensa quickly grabbed Tia's arm and comforted her:

"That secret weapon is actually a very potent poison. I have high resistance to poison and I'm fine. Tia, you're so capable, you must have a way to deal with it too... but Miss Lanzhi won't be able to withstand it!"

"……snort."

Tia clearly didn't believe it, but she didn't object either:

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

After she finished speaking, she took out the magic card that could automatically navigate and fly at high speed again, infused it with magic power, and made the card the size of a single bed.

The beautiful auctioneer, Lan Zhi, was not under the shrinking curse and was still human in size. Tia couldn't move her, so she had to ask Valensa to help her move Lan Zhi onto the card.

"...Then I'll take my leave first."

Piloting the card into the air, Tia gave Valensa another long look:

"Be careful."

It sped away amidst the magical glow.

Valensa stared at the magic circle for a moment, thinking that since the gray rat could project Lan Zhi's image before, it was highly likely that it could also sense this place.

So she didn't make a move near the magic circle, but instead chose a more open space before opening the Dimensional Hardware Store's membership terminal and using the friend support function.

Just like yesterday, Wei appeared out of nowhere again, and as soon as she appeared, she covered her nose and fanned herself with her hand with a look of disgust:

"It stinks! It stinks! Is this a rat hole or a sewer? How can it smell so bad... Luckily I have an air filtration system."

After turning on the air filtration system to filter out the odor, Wei began looking around for something:

"That's strange... The friend support summoning function takes effect instantly, so Valensa should be around here... Why can't I see her?"

"Hey hey... I'm here, Wei! I'm here!"

Seeing Wei looking around blankly and talking to herself, Valensa quickly shouted.

Wei then looked down at her feet, her eyes lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Valensa in her hand:

"Eek... Knight beauty, how did you turn into a figurine? So cute... prprpr~~"

As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and licked Valensa's clothes thoroughly, soaking them completely.

"You idiot! You pervert!"

Valensa angrily kicked Vivi's tongue back:

"I'm only temporarily under a curse... and why are you licking me?! I know figurines are cute, but are figurines meant to be licked?"

Chapter 140 It's time to let those stinky rats taste the power of technological civilization.

"Figures are meant to be admired!"

Vivi gave Valensa a strange look, then said matter-of-factly:

"Could it be that you bought figurines in your hometown in your past life just to collect them? That's such a waste! Don't you know that many high-end figurines use kitchenware-grade PVC? That's just for licking!"

"That was just to ensure safety... never mind."

Valensa murmured weakly.

She officially confirmed yesterday that Wei was a pervert, which is why she deliberately sent Tia away so that Tia wouldn't meet Wei.

It's impossible for a stunning beauty like Tia not to be coveted by Vi.

Valensa didn't mind being teased and taken advantage of by Vie a few times, but Tia absolutely wouldn't allow it.

"Are you prepared for what I told you yesterday?"

Valensa lightly leaped onto Vivi's shoulders, crossing her beautiful legs in black stockings.

"Quickly, quickly... it's time to let those stinking rats taste the power of technological civilization."

"You can rest assured when I get things done, sister."

Despite her lewdness, Wei is still quite reliable when it comes to getting things done.

She quickly took out four disc-shaped robot vacuum cleaners from her spatial storage bag, and then took out more than ten metal legs, which she attached to the robots one by one.

"……This is?"

Valensa sat on Vivi's shoulders, kicking her feet and patting the cushions beneath her feet, and asked curiously.

"It's a hunting robot specifically designed to exterminate rats."

Wei laughed as she assembled the robot:

"You know those stinky rats love to burrow... That's why we had this during the rat extermination operation. It helps the genetic toxin spread faster, ensuring that no rat within the hunting range escapes!"

The four hunting robots were quickly assembled. Wei then carefully took out a vial of medicine, added half of it into the hunting robot's ammunition compartment, and smashed the other half, letting the medicine evaporate and spread in the air.

"OK, now we just have to wait."

After activating the hunting robots and watching them disappear into the darkness, Vivi clapped her hands, then picked up Valensa from her shoulder and played with her, licking her occasionally.

"In ten minutes at most, all the rats within a five-kilometer radius will be poisoned... By then, your curse will be almost lifted, right? So, it's time to play with your figurines!"

"Just stop it!"

Valensa wanted to kick Vie's tongue and hands away, but the weakness from the multiple enhancements just now erupted all at once, leaving her weak and powerless, only able to let Vie play with her and lick her.

Vivi played with Valensa for a while, and soon noticed that something was wrong with Valensa:

"Hey? Girl, why do you look so weak? Did someone drain you dry?"

You think I'm like you?

Valensa, lying in Vivi's arms, rolled her eyes in annoyance:

"If I hadn't been so exhausted from that fierce battle just now, do you think you could have succeeded?"

"Huh? Is that so?"

Wei blinked:

"I thought you were enjoying it too, sis...after all, the body tells a story."

"you……"

"alright."

Seeing that Valensa was about to get angry, Wei finally behaved herself and took out a small glass bottle that looked like an oral liquid from her spatial storage bag:

"I don't know exactly what you mean by 'excessive consumption' in your magical world, but this is a kind of compressed nutrient solution from our side. One bottle can keep you from being hungry for several days and quickly eliminate fatigue and restore your strength... Why don't you try one, lady?"

"...Then let's give it a try."

Valensa took the small glass bottle, clamped it between her legs, punched the cap through, and gulped it down.

"Huh? It actually works?"

About two or three minutes later, Valensa moved her limbs in surprise.

Although her nearly depleted emotional wellspring couldn't be replenished, her physical fatigue had largely subsided and no longer affected her normal activities.

Seeing that Vivi was bringing her face closer as if she wanted to lick it again, Valensa quickly reached out her hand to refuse.

"Wait a minute... Playing with figurines is fun, but you get tired of it after a while, right? How about I take you to see a spectacular battle between beautiful girls?"

"A fierce battle between beautiful girls? Okay."

Vivi was indeed intrigued and immediately tucked Valensa into her collar:

"where?"

"...This way."

Valensa found a comfortable position to lean back in before pointing in the direction she had come from.

. . . . .

The intense battle between the beautiful girls that Valensa mentioned was, of course, the battle between Yashiro and the gray rats projected in the magical imagery above the resort.

Yashiro is definitely a beautiful girl without a doubt, and as for Grey Rat... judging by appearance alone, she's probably a rather cute grey-haired loli.

Perhaps the genetic toxins brought by Wei had begun to take effect, or perhaps Yashiro finally gave it his all after learning that Lanzhi was safe.

In short, the battle is no longer one-sided as before, but rather evenly matched.
