The story of the black silk female knight

A long-legged female knight in silver armor and cloaks, wearing black stockings, will suddenly appear and swiftly kill the attacking beastmen warriors with overwhelming force before rushing away.

In any case, these beast warriors either self-destructed or destroyed their own corpses, so Valensa completely gave up the idea of ​​capturing them alive for interrogation and focused on fighting as efficiently as possible.

With the help of the sharpness of her Moon Kiss and Cross-Handled Lightsaber, Valensa would almost always launch a surprise attack to take down the strongest of the Beast Warriors in every battle, and then finish them off with lightning speed.

The fact that Valencia's Phantom Thief Sister has been able to cause trouble for so many years without being caught is enough to prove how powerful mental energy can be if used well.

Wild beasts may not even be able to perceive the concept of presence, and no matter how vigilant they are, they are powerless against Valensa's sneak attack.

However, the beasts weren't stupid. On the third day of Valensa's frenzied hunt, two beast teams worked together to set a trap for her.

One of the three beast squads attacked the transport team first, forcing them to send out a distress signal.

A few minutes later, Valensa arrived and used the same old method: a sneak attack with minimal presence, piercing the head of the strongest of the wild beasts with a single Moon Kiss sword strike.

But soon, the other five beast squad also jumped out, and together with the other two beasts, the seven burly beastmen launched a desperate attack on Valensa.

Valenza's combat power is significantly higher than others of the same level. She can easily take on three opponents with a surprise attack, but she is still overwhelmed when ambushed and surrounded by seven elite-level Lighthouse-class Wild Beast Warriors.

After only a few exchanges, Valensa was hit by spears, forks, scimitars, iron bars, and other weapons in succession. The parts that her artifact cloak and divine particle armor could protect her were fine, but the parts that couldn't were injured.

Another set of summer school uniform lace shirts and skirts was ruined, and the black stockings were also torn and tattered, revealing wounds all over her fair skin.

The grain convoy was very worried about Valensa's situation. They quickly sent out another distress signal and destroyed the grain in the convoy, intending to rush up and fight the beast warriors to the death to rescue Valensa.

Unexpectedly, Valencia suddenly accelerated and fled into the depths of the dense forest. The seven elite lighthouse-level beastmen hurriedly gave chase, and in the blink of an eye, they all disappeared from the transport team's sight.

Another ten minutes or so later, the second wave of three scouts finally arrived and entered the dense forest with the accompanying scouts from the transport team, intending to support Valensa.

When they finally found Valensa, they discovered this strong and beautiful female knight sitting under a tree eating a large piece of roast beef that she had brought from her storage space...

Aside from her clothes being so tattered that only her outer armor and black stockings remained completely ruined, the female knight showed no signs of injury. Even the bloodstains on her long legs had completely disappeared, restoring her appearance to one that looked fair and soft, yet capable of killing a Lighthouse-level beast warrior with a single kick.

Around the female knight, there were scattered broken weapons and limbs of the beast warriors, as well as three craters that were clearly formed by the explosion, making it look quite horrific.

"Huh? You guys came to help me?"

Faced with the strange looks from her four comrades-in-arms, Valensa tilted her head in a cute manner:

"Sorry, sorry... Actually, it's not that I couldn't beat those seven bastards, it's just that I needed to use my trump card, and I was worried that I might accidentally hurt the transport team, so I pretended to run away and put the battlefield deep in the forest."

"...I'm glad you're alright."

The four scouts who came to provide support were basically the same ones who had been supported by Valensa when escorting the convoy. Having witnessed Valensa's battles firsthand, they weren't too surprised.

Chapter 61 Valensa's Tears

Valencia's trump card after being ambushed was naturally the Evil God Mode.

She can now maintain her sanity for a period of time after entering Evil God Mode, but her fighting style in that state is still not very appealing, which is why she has to lure the enemy away before making a move.

Another reason is that a relatively narrow terrain is needed so that the elite warriors of the beast race participating in the ambush will not have time to escape and can be taken down in one fell swoop by Valensa after she activates her evil god mode.

As for why Valensa didn't report back to her teammates after killing all the enemies, but instead ate heartily on the spot, it was because she needed to use the taste of human food to suppress the abnormally strong appetite of her evil god instincts.

After the ambush, the elite warriors of the beastmen who broke through seemed to have fully realized the gap in strength between themselves and Valensa.

They no longer readily attack transport convoys, choosing instead to lie low.

But it was no use.

Valensa has three years of adventurer experience and often hunts monsters alone. She is very skilled at tracking in the wilderness and jungle.

In addition, the power of the mind can greatly enhance the senses, and with the sound wave positioning learned from Fran, those elite warriors of the beast race could not hide even if they wanted to.

After being ambushed, Valensa spent four days clearing out the rear of several major fortresses centered around Bizk Town, finding and killing nearly thirty elite beast warriors lurking in the wilderness.

Including the elite beast warriors she killed while providing support in the past few days, Valensa alone killed more than 80 lighthouse-level elite beasts.

In terms of the number of elite enemies killed, she has already surpassed many veterans who have been on the front lines for more than ten years in just over half a month since she arrived.

Tia has received inside information that the command has decided to award the Golden Iris Award, which belongs to the elite soldiers in this fall's war, to Valensa.

The Golden Iris Award is an award established by the French military to encourage fighting spirit. Winners can be promoted in the military and receive a financial reward.

This award is given only once a year at the end of the autumn war, selecting three people each time: the officer, the vanguard, and the ordinary soldier who performed the best in the war that year.

It's still hard to say who will be the officer and ordinary soldier to receive the Golden Iris Award this year, but among the elite soldiers, no one's achievements should surpass Valensa's.

Besides the commendation from the command, Valensa's sweep of the lurking elite beast warriors had another benefit.

With no more attacks, the transport team's efficiency naturally improved significantly, and the overall allocation of logistical supplies to the major fortresses became much easier.

Tia, finally you have time to rest properly and go on a date with Valensa.

That evening, in Tia's cabin, Valensa cooked several delicious dishes and opened a bottle of fine wine. The two ate, drank, chatted, flirted, and joked around, having a very pleasant time.

“Darling…I want to…”

"...Hmph, idiot."

After eating and drinking their fill and taking a shower, the two girls, dressed in matching nightgowns and black and white stockings, lay on the bed, one on top of the other, gazing at each other, ready to enjoy the wonderful night together.

Faced with Valensa's increasingly intense gaze, Tia turned her head slightly and closed her eyes.

However, after waiting for a long time, the expected kisses that would fall like raindrops did not come. Instead, raindrops fell continuously, wetting Tia's nightgown and skin.

"...Valenza? What's wrong?"

Tia opened her eyes curiously and was surprised to find that Valensa was crying.

Those deep blue eyes were like a sea in a storm, with tears falling like raindrops.

His eyes were filled with undisguised ecstasy, like someone who had been tormented by despair and had finally seen the light of hope again.

"Tia...Tia...Tia!"

Valensa suddenly buried her face in Tia's body and cried like a child:

"That's wonderful...that's really wonderful! You're still here...Waaaaah...Thank you, Goddess! Even if you really capture me and drag me to your divine kingdom to torture me, I will never resist and will serve you well...Waaaah!"

"???"

Tia looked completely bewildered.

She even thought Valensa had suddenly contracted some strange illness, so she quickly touched Valensa's head and prepared to get dressed to call for the medical team.

Valensa finally calmed down after crying in Tia's arms for two minutes.

She took a deep breath and, instead of immediately explaining to Tia, reached into the storage space of her magical cloak and took out a small crystal bottle containing only one pill.

The small crystal bottle is still there, and so are the pills, but the iridescent glow inside the capsule has disappeared; now it's just an ordinary cold medicine.

What just happened... wasn't an illusion; I really did reset an hour!

Valensa took a deep breath, rapidly processing the information she had gathered from the future in her mind, and immediately made a decision:

"Quickly! Contact command and Her Highness the Princess! Quickly!"

"……OK."

Seeing Valensa's extremely serious expression, Tia didn't refuse, but she also asked a very serious question:

"What happened?"

"One hour... no, 49 minutes later."

Valensa gasped for breath:

"The Wild Beast Clan will launch a surprise attack on this place... They come from underground, and they control a Star-level Tunnel Worm to dig a tunnel underground, which has broken through Thunderlight Cliff!"

Besides the tunnel worm, there were two other Star-level beasts among the attacking wild beasts who were completely reckless and could not be stopped at all!

In the end, everyone here except me… even you, Tia… Luckily, before I came, I obtained a wonderful thing from Her Majesty the Goddess, which allows everything to still be salvaged!”

"...So, Valencia, you just traveled through time and returned from the future?"

The Sage Tower also had some knowledge of the secrets of time. Although Tia herself did not know them, she had heard her teacher talk about them before, and at this moment she immediately understood what Valensa meant.

"To be precise, I reset time while retaining my memories..."

Valensa briefly explained the difference between her method and ordinary time-based arcane arts, and then urged Tia again:

"I'll explain all this to you later. Right now, we must take immediate action! But it's unlikely that my word alone will convince the command. We'll need to leverage your family's prestige and connections within the military!"

“Yes, I will do my best... but even if I am the eldest daughter and heir of the Britannia family, it is difficult to convince people to believe you and carry out your plan regarding something like resetting time.”

Tia nodded, then asked thoughtfully:

"Is there anything else that could be more convincing?"

"Something that is easy to convince..."

Valensa thought for a moment:

"Does the artifact that Her Majesty the Goddess gave me count? This should be sufficient proof of Her Majesty the Goddess's favor towards me! As for the time reset... we can say that Her Majesty the Goddess used a divine revelation to let me see the future."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Chapter 62 The Reset Future

Even after she had a good cry in Tia's arms, Valensa was still very unsettled.

During that hour that had been reset, Valensa and Tia were initially enjoying their time together.

Just as they were enjoying themselves to the fullest, the attack by the wild beasts suddenly came.

A giant tunnel worm, with a body diameter of over two meters and a length similar to a tunnel boring machine, suddenly emerged from underground in the middle of the camp and began to slaughter the soldiers.

Ordinary soldiers were no match for the Radiant-rank monsters, and even the royal guard brought by Elsers suffered heavy losses in an instant.

Drake, the camp commander, had just issued an order when he was killed by another Star-level Wild Beast expert who arrived shortly after.

To protect Elsers, Gina, with her still-unhealed body, once again overdrawn her magic and burned her life force, briefly summoning a Radiant-rank ice elemental creature, barely managing to hold off the powerful beast.

But she herself perished the moment the ice elemental creatures descended, dying in Princess Elser's arms.

Valensa and Tia had played all their cards, and Elsers also used her royal treasure to save her life, but she could only barely protect herself and was powerless to help the fallen camp and the soldiers who were slaughtered.

If Valensa and Tia had been focused on escaping, they could have gotten away.

But Elsers was simply too weak. Even with the ice elemental creatures and royal treasures summoned by Gina at the cost of her life for protection, she was still firmly entangled by the enemy and unable to break free.

Considering that the two were friends after all, and that Elsers was a royal princess, Tia thought of helping Elsers out... Otherwise, if she and Valensa ran back and the princess died, it would be a major blow to their reputations.

Valensa did not object.

With that Radiant-Rank Ice Elemental creature around, plus Valensa's Evil God Mode and Tia's various magic cards that can link to space, rescuing people and escaping shouldn't be too difficult.

But no one expected that the Star-level beast expert had no intention of returning alive.

The moment Tia used the spatial link to rescue Elsers, it unhesitatingly chose to self-destruct with all its energy.

The self-destruction of a Radiant-rank expert, even if not as powerful as a nuclear bomb, is not far off.

The entire camp and the town of Bizk were completely wiped out in the explosion, and no one survived. Valensa watched helplessly as Tia was engulfed in flames.

In the end, only Valensa in her evil god form, the tunnel worm, and another Star-level beast powerhouse with the ability to control monsters survived the explosion.

The Star-level Wild Beast expert didn't linger in the fight, nor did he intend to finish off Valensa. He then led the tunnel worms and tried to return the way they came.

But how could Valensa possibly let them go?

After witnessing Tia being engulfed in flames, Valensa entered a state of extreme rage.

This extreme anger did not consume Valensa's rationality; on the contrary, it made her exceptionally calm, calm enough to perfectly control the power of the evil god, and her power increased greatly.

Valensa herself didn't know exactly how strong they were, but neither a Star-level Wild Beast nor a Star-level Tunnel Worm could last three minutes against Valensa before she tore them apart and devoured their souls.

It was by consuming the soul of that Star-level Wild Beast that Valensa finally learned the whole story and the Wild Beast's true conspiracy.

All of this was indeed related to that great prophet of the Wild Beast Clan.

The fierce attack launched by the Beast Clan this year was not for seizing food at all, but to kill the person who was prophesied by the Great Prophet to be the one who would lead the Beast Clan to extinction—Tia.

In order to ensure that Tia could be killed, the Great Prophet of the Beast Clan repeatedly risked his life to glimpse the future throughout the year, and saw a large number of fragments of the future.

The Great Prophet of the Wild Beasts believed that although the future could be changed, as long as one strictly followed the fragments of the future one saw, the future could be fixed and become reality.

The Great Prophet of the Beast Clan ordered his elite Lighthouse-level warriors to recklessly charge into Fran territory, leaving them standing still like fools waiting to be ambushed, and even had precious Radiant-rank powerhouses self-destruct. All of this was to turn the fragments of the future he had seen into reality.

If these are realized, then the future fragment that the Great Prophet of the Wild Beast Clan most hoped to achieve... the future fragment in which Tia was engulfed by fire, will also be fixed as reality, rewriting the fate of the Wild Beast Clan's extinction.

This is what the Great Prophet of the Wild Beasts thought, and this is what he did... Even if it meant sacrificing the elite forces that the entire Wild Beast Clan had accumulated over many years, he was determined to kill Tia.
