The story of the black silk female knight

"At least based on your performance in the first two battles, I don't think you have the ability to stand up after taking one of my attacks... unless you have some powerful artifact you haven't used yet."

"Hmph, that's not necessarily true!"

Valensa pouted:

"Even without the divine artifact, I'm still very powerful... Sister Dragon, would you dare let me prepare first?"

"Whatever... Just call me when you're ready."

Dreigan shrugged nonchalantly, yawned, and used moonlight to transfer the unfinished melon to her hand to continue eating.

"Humph……"

Valensa gritted her teeth and, without hesitation, immediately began stacking defenses.

Fairy dragons are all masters of arcane arts, so Dreigan's attacks must also be magical attacks.

So Valensa first used a large amount of mental energy to strengthen her magic resistance, and then knelt down and prayed continuously, using divine magic to strengthen her magic resistance again.

Since we agreed not to use divine artifacts, then of course we can use top-tier enchanted equipment that is one level below divine artifacts.

Valensa then activated her Divine Armor and wielded two magic-resistant metal round shields in her left and right hands, completely transforming herself into an anti-magic humanoid armor.

She is now confident that she can withstand the full force of the attack from all the magic students in her class without getting hurt.

Of course, Dreigan's magic is far superior to that of the students, but it certainly won't be the kind of attack that Valensa could completely withstand.

With such high magic defense, it shouldn't be too difficult to just take one hit and stay standing, right?

"Come on, Sister Dragon, I'm ready."

Taking a deep breath, Valensa assumed a defensive stance, signaling Dreigan to attack.

"Okay, here I come."

Just then, Dreigan finished eating the melon. Upon hearing this, she casually tossed away the melon rind and clapped her hands.

Snapped!

What was clearly just crisp applause sounded like a thunderclap to Valensa.

She didn't even feel which direction the attack came from before she was suddenly dizzy. When she came to her senses, she was lying on the ground with both of her magic-breaking metal shields lying beside her.

Both the outer layer of divine armor and the inner layer of lace shirt were intact, but Valensa could still feel the lingering moonlight on her skin, and occasionally a spark of electricity would fly, making her feel numb and unable to exert any strength.

...What kind of magic is this?

Valensa was truly stunned by the blow.

Her magical talent was indeed poor, and she couldn't master any kind of magic, but after spending so much time with Tia, she was exposed to magic every day and knew quite a bit about it, including some rare spells.

However, this move by Dreigan was still too unexpected for Valensa, and even subverted her understanding... Valensa couldn't understand how she was attacked.

Is it because Dreigan's magic speed is too fast?

No, it's definitely not that simple.

Putting aside Valensa's already high agility and her heightened vigilance, even the fastest magic wouldn't leave her completely untraceable.

Even if such magic truly exists, any attack is a vector, possessing a directionality. At the moment of being struck, one can still roughly determine the direction of the attack through touch.

But Dregran's blow... left Valensa unaware of how she was hit before she was knocked to the ground.

"Are you alright, Sasha?"

As Valensa gazed up blankly, she suddenly saw Dreigan extend a hand towards her, her smile warm and caring, yet a hint of undisguised joy lurking deep in her eyes.

Hmph, you scumbag sister, still saying you weren't deliberately taking this opportunity to bully me!

Muttering to herself in annoyance, Valensa's competitive spirit was completely ignited. Ignoring the lingering numbness and soreness throughout her body, she grabbed Dreigan's hand and stood up, picking up a shield as she did so, assuming a defensive stance once more.

"Keep going, Sister Long, I can still take it!"

"...No, you can't hold on any longer...Little Sasha, don't push yourself."

Dreigan chuckled, then gently poked Valensa, causing her to moan softly and lean forward.

But this time she didn't fall to the ground; instead, she leaned against Dregran's chest.

Okay~~

Seeing that Valensa was still pouting and refusing to admit defeat, Dregegland gently pinched her cheek:

"I did it myself, how could I not know my own strength? Don't think that just because you're a pearl, Little Sasha, even if you're about to break through to the Star Glory level, you'd be lying down for a while after being hit by me... Little Sasha, you're already very amazing."

"Plus, you've already played two matches... let's call it a day. Have something to eat, take a bath, and get a good night's sleep. We'll continue tomorrow."

“Mmmmmmmmm…”

Valensa pouted for a while, then finally sighed:

"Alright, then I'll follow Sister Long's arrangement and continue tomorrow."

"That's what a good child should be like."

Dregran smiled and nodded, then picked Valensa up in a princess carry:

"Come on, let's go eat and take a bath... Don't rush, this third ability probably won't be as easy to master as the first two. Little Sasha, be prepared to get a beating from me for several days, hehe~~"

"Hmph, I knew you were deliberately bullying me, Sister Long... Scum, Sister Long, scum!"

Valensa pouted to express her dissatisfaction, then asked curiously:

"So... what kind of magic was that move you used to hit me, Sister Dragon? To be honest, my closest person right now is a disciple of the Sage's Tower. I've seen quite a few secret techniques from her, but I've never seen a spell like yours before, Sister Dragon."

"The Sage's Tower... Hmph, their spells are too focused on precision and efficiency, but they've lost one of the most important essences of magic... In comparison, I think the path of the witches suits my taste better."

Dregran first made a curt comment on the sage and the witch before chuckling softly:

"As for the secret technique I used... I'm sorry, it involves many racial secrets, so I can't explain it to you in detail, Little Sasha."

However, I can tell you definitively that either you successfully master the sword's third ability, or you wield Her Majesty the Goddess's divine artifact, otherwise you will not be able to withstand it... absolutely not.

Chapter 265 I was bullied for several days

Dreigan used moon magic to heal Valensa, fed her some fruit, carried her to the bathroom to wash her body, and finally settled her on the bed before saying goodbye and seeing her again in the morning.

"Hey?"

Valensa, somewhat curious, tugged at the hem of Dregegland's skirt:

"Sister Long, you...don't live here? This treehouse is quite big, isn't it?"

"This treehouse wasn't originally my residence; I used it specifically to entertain my human friends."

Dreigan chuckled and flicked Valensa's forehead:

"Have you forgotten? My true form is a dragon; I'm just in human form now."

I prefer to lie in the moonlight in a dragon-like position rather than sleep in a bed like a human.

Okay, don't think too much, get some rest... We have more intensive training tomorrow.

"Oh~~"

Valensa nodded obediently and watched Dreigan leave.

After that, she stretched and lay on the bed in a starfish position, her eyes gradually becoming hazy.

How exactly do we defend against Sister Long's move?

Judging from the injuries she sustained after being beaten, Sister Long clearly held back a lot; the power of that attack was definitely not at the Yao level.

Even with all those defensive buffs stacked up, I absolutely shouldn't have been one-shotted by a spell below the Shining level!

This seemingly contradictory phenomenon easily led Valensa to think of a possibility.

In the games she played in her previous life, many games had a concept called true damage.

The damage value may not be high, but it can ignore all armor and defense, and you have to take all the damage no matter how many buffs you stack.

Dreigan's secret technique is very likely some kind of true damage attack.

So... how do we defend against this kind of attack?

Valensa continued to think, but the more she thought about it, the more her head ached.

There are generally two ways to deal with true damage in games.

The first method involves exploiting the invincibility frames during certain skill activations to cause true damage attacks to miss.

Secondly, you can rely on having more health to withstand the damage before healing.

However, the invincible setting that allows one to use any move only exists in games.

Relying on having high HP to tank damage and then healing yourself probably won't work.

Because Dreigan clearly wasn't using her full strength, she could adjust the intensity of her attacks at any time, keeping Valensa's injuries within a range that wasn't too severe but also prevented her from getting up.

Simply put, neither method works.

So how should we deal with this?

Despite her reluctance, Valensa pulled out the alloy longsword, which was now a pseudo-Noble Phantasm, and rolled around on the bed while holding it in her arms.

She tried to communicate with the sword again, wanting to enter that state of oneness with the sword, and to quickly understand the sword's third ability as if receiving wireless data transmission.

Well, the communication went quite smoothly, and the sword quickly responded to Valensa, but there was no information whatsoever about the third ability, no matter how Valensa tried to communicate.

"Ah~~~~ Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"

After racking her brains for a long time without finding a good solution, Valensa continued to roll around with her sword, and finally decided to give up.

If I can't figure it out, I'll just take a nap and talk about it tomorrow.

The next morning.

"How are you, little Sasha?"

On a branch of a treehouse, wider than the street, Dregran chuckled softly, her hands behind her back.

"Are you ready to get beaten up today?"

"Hmph, Sister Dragon, don't be too smug!"

Valensa was completely unprepared, but she couldn't afford to appear weak.

She held up her sword and shield, puffing out her chest:

"Come on, I'm sure I can master the third ability today!"

"Okay, good luck, Sasha!"

Dreigan's smile deepened, and then she clapped her hands gently.

Snapped.

"Ah~~"

It was that strange attack that was completely impossible to resist and came from an unknown source, which caused Valensa to fall face down on the ground with her buttocks in the air. Her armor was intact, but her body was twitching and occasionally sparks flew out.

"Damn it, guh."

Valensa was naturally prepared for this defeat, but when she was humiliated and defeated in one move, the feeling of humiliation and unwillingness still made her body heat up.

This time, Dregran didn't help Valensa up. Instead, she took out a small melon and nibbled on it, waiting for Valensa to recover on her own.

After all, it's only morning. With Valensa's physique, she can train a few more times without any problem.

The feeling of soreness, numbness, and weakness all over her body was unbearable. She lay on the ground with her butt sticking up for a full half hour before Valensa finally regained her mobility, struggled to get up, and used her divine magic to heal herself.

"Come again!"

Dreigan clapped her hands again.

Snapped.

"Ah~~~~"

Valensa, who had just stood up and gotten into position, fell down again, still in the same position with her buttocks in the air.

This cycle continued almost continuously until the afternoon.

Valensa lay on the ground panting with her buttocks sticking out. After recovering, she stood up, only to be instantly defeated by Dreigan in one move, and then lay on the ground panting with her buttocks sticking out again.

After a day of training, Valensa was still clueless about Dreigan's attacks and had no idea how to defend against them.
