The story of the black silk female knight

How confident are you?

Elsers clenched her fists tightly:

"I believe that the great witch you released from the underground ruins is very capable, but didn't you just say that although the great witch knows the origin of the Netherworld Ghost Clan, she also has many questions about why the Netherworld Ghost Clan has become what it is today, right?"

"In that case, are you absolutely certain that the sword forged from the special substance in the spinal cord of the Netherworld Ghost Clan can control the undead? What if the controlled undead goes out of control? What if the sword has adverse effects on the user?"

"Yes, your concerns are not unfounded. We have considered these issues as well, but..."

Tia smiled and shook her finger, her expression confident:

"The technology of using key materials from monsters to create special weapons with monster abilities has been developed by humans for thousands of years and has been continuously improved. Now it can be said to be very perfect and mature, and the probability of error is negligible."

Sister Friggia was indeed quite puzzled as to why the Netherworld race had become what it was today, but based on her research on the Netherworld corpses, she could confirm that the essence of this race had not changed... that innate ability to control the undead was very stable.

I can't guarantee 100% success... and no one in this world can guarantee 100% success for anything.

All I can say is that, based on the existing data and theories, the success rate of this project is very high… we can even complete much of our preparation at any time. The only thing we're currently lacking is a large quantity of Netherworld Demon spines as raw materials.”

"……I see."

Elseris remained silent for a long while before speaking:

"So, your next destination is America?"

"Do not."

Tia chuckled and shook her head:

"It is Your Highness who is to be sent as an envoy to America."

Chapter 11 Making Cream Puffs for the Great Witch

After some internal struggle, Elsers finally agreed to Tia's proposal.

She would try to persuade the King and Crown Prince to allow her to go to America as an envoy, providing cover for Valensa and Tia's actions in America under the guise of diplomacy.

In return, Elsers will receive the sword forged from a special substance found in the spinal cord of the Netherworld Clan, enabling her to assemble an undead legion and significantly enhance her importance to the royal family. This will free her from the hassle of marriage and allow her to continue to pursue whomever she desires, indulging in unrestrained pleasure.

Valensa and Tia will gain a reliable ally from the royal family, no longer needing to worry about the royal family being wary of them, and it will be easier for them to keep some secrets hidden.

...if everything goes smoothly.

. . . . .

After being thrashed 26-1 by Cyrant, Valensa was completely ignited with her competitive spirit and has been trying out various fighting styles that suit her in duels for the past two days.

The rules of the competition have weakened and restricted Valensa too much. In the past two days, not only Serant, but also other duelists signed by Yashiro and even Chiba Grass have been able to easily defeat Valensa under the restrictions of the competition rules.

This made Chiba Grass extremely happy, and she even wanted to take the opportunity to play a punishment game with Valensa. However, Valensa, who was embarrassed and angry, turned the match into a real battle on the spot and gave Chiba Grass a good beating. Chiba Grass was left lying on the ground with her tongue sticking out and her expression dazed for most of the day before she could continue to participate in dueling training.

Although Valensa lost nearly a hundred games in the past two days, she has managed to find her rhythm in matches.

Her approach was still sound... focusing on defense with divine magic, using various special equipment and skills to counterattack, aiming for a kill on first encounter.

In fact, her tactic was quite effective. Whether it was the other duelists signed by Yashilo or Serant as his coach, they would most likely lose when facing moves that Valensa hadn't used before.

However, the ability to defeat a powerful opponent with strong skills and equipment often means that the opponent is easily targeted... which is why Valensa lost more than she won in the past two days of training.

The duel arena qualifiers are all decided in one round, and Chu Jian Sha Qiang's skills and equipment are still very useful.

However, the other participants are not fools either. It is certain that they will gather information about their opponents before the competition. Valencia's few tricks and equipment that initially seem to kill strong opponents will be figured out quickly in the official competition. She may not be able to win more than a few games and will continue to lose for the entire season.

Even if Valensa didn't care about winning or losing in this duel, it would be too embarrassing to only win a few matches at the beginning and then keep losing... She had to master a new skill as soon as possible, a skill that would be difficult for her opponents to counter even if they knew it.

Valensa also has her own thoughts on this.

Valensa's rich practical experience in this life and her experience with various competitive games in her previous life allowed her to quickly understand the routines... or rather, the mainstream fighting style of dueling competitions.

Quick attack.

Due to the special mechanics of the competition, duelists do not need to consider the intensity of their attacks, but only their attack speed and accuracy, and how to seize those fleeting opportunities.

In such an environment, an attack that is extremely fast and difficult to defend against and dodge would be very powerful.

Valensa's idea was still to launch an attack with her eyes... because no matter how fast her hands and feet moved, it was hard to outrun her gaze.

So in addition to training on the training field during the day, Valensa also develops new skills on her own at night.

By rapidly concentrating energy in her eyes and releasing it, Valensa can currently only utilize the evil god's power, which originates entirely from her own bloodline.

However, the power of the evil god cannot be used in the competition; if it is used, the opponent will be immediately disqualified.

The same applies to the power of Yangyan. As long as it is slightly condensed, even without being released, it will be immediately judged as a foul by the duel barrier.

Holy Light can be used freely, and Valensa can also concentrate Holy Light in her eyes.

However, due to the existence of [Divine Spell. Insight], when the Holy Light gathers in Valensa's eyes, it will prioritize enhancing her vision rather than transforming into an energy ray attack... unless Valensa spends more time and effort to actively control it.

But that would make her plan to attack with her eyes too obvious... She had already tested it in the training match during the day, and almost everyone could detect it in advance and dodge and defend, so it would not achieve the purpose of a sneak attack at all.

Therefore, the idea of ​​using holy light rays to see eyes is also not feasible.

Valensa then turned her attention to elemental magic.

Since Friggia revealed the key to Valensa, she has been able to use elemental magic... although her way of manipulating elemental magic is completely different from that of orthodox spellcasters.

The advantage of practicing magic in this way is that Valensa doesn't have to learn a lot of magical theories comparable to advanced mathematics in her previous life, like a traditional spellcaster; she can cast spells entirely based on instinct.

The downside is that she can't have very precise control over elemental magic.

Valensa didn't understand how to explain it using the correct principles. In her own opinion, elemental magic was obedient but stupid... it was difficult to condense it in front of her and turn it into a ray.

Valensa tried it several times according to her own idea, but each time the elemental magic only condensed into a sphere in front of her, which was completely different from what she wanted.

With no other option, Valensa had to leave Yashiro's training grounds and go to the underground ruins to ask the Great Witch Friggia for help.

She had prepared the price in advance.

"Here, Sister Freya, try this... I made it myself~~"

Valensa held Friggia affectionately, one arm pressed against her chest, while she lifted one foot, encased in black stockings, out of her boot and gently rubbed her toe against Friggia's calf.

What she presented to Friggia on a plate was a freshly baked cream puff, still steaming hot and fragrant.

"Humph."

Friggia glanced at Valensa with a half-smile, then elegantly picked up a cream puff, put it to her lips, took a small bite to break the skin, and then stuck out her tongue to lightly lick the fresh milk inside the cream puff.

"Hmm?"

Her purple eyes widened slightly, her smile deepening, and she quickened her movements, swiftly and elegantly devouring the entire cream puff.

"Not bad, not bad... Little sister, you put a lot of effort into this... This cream puff is not only delicious, but it can also restore my magic power."

Friggia licked her lips with satisfaction, looking at Valensa's alluring figure today—she wasn't wearing armor but rather a low-cut lace top.

"There aren't many ingredients left in this world that can restore my magic power."

"It's the kind of ingredient you're thinking of, Sister Friedeja... Ugh, don't make me say it myself, it's so embarrassing."

Valensa blushed shyly and lowered her head, but the speed at which she rubbed her black-stockinged toes against Frieda's calf under the table suddenly increased:

"How is it, Sister Frieda? Is this cream puff... delicious?"

Chapter 12 Who hasn't been teased by a goddess?

"Delicious! Absolutely delicious! Valensa's cream puffs are amazing."

Friggia beamed, elegantly picking up a cream puff with her index finger and thumb and taking small bites. At the same time, she pulled her leg, which was being constantly rubbed by the black-stockinged toes, up and tightly clamped the playful toes between her knees.

"I'm glad Sister Friggia likes it~~"

Valensa didn't mind. Instead, she continued to act coquettishly with a soft voice and a flattering smile. She even picked up a cream puff and fed it to Frieda.

"uh-huh."

Frieda enjoyed Valensa's hospitality without a second thought, and only after she had finished the entire plate of cream puffs did she stretch and yawn.

"Speak, little sister, what do you need my knowledge and strength to help you this time?"

"Hehe... Sister Friggia, you are the most powerful witch. There is nothing on this planet that you cannot do."

Valensa continued to flatter Frieda, praising her for a long time before revealing her true purpose:

"Actually, it's nothing... It's just that I have some special ideas about my magical training, and I need some guidance from Sister Friggia."

"Hmm... condense elemental magic into your eyes and turn it into rays?"

After hearing Valensa's idea, Frieda raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled:

"Why would you have such an inefficient and strange idea? If you want to pursue the convenience and speed of eye attacks, wouldn't it be better to use your own evil god power?"

It's important to understand that while elemental magic is also a form of energy, it differs significantly from pure energy. They have different properties and different external forms depending on their attributes.

Forcibly turning elemental magic into ray attacks is not impossible, but how should I put it... it's extremely inefficient and wasteful.

For example, if you use a fire-type magic crystal to boil water, you only need to activate the magic power of the magic crystal, but you insist on rubbing the magic crystal against a stone to start a fire... That's incredibly inefficient.

"That's it..."

Valensa frowned, but didn't give up on the idea. She pulled Friedeja's arm into her chest again, nuzzling against her affectionately.

"But they really need this kind of attack to play the game... Sister Freya, you're so smart, beautiful, and strong, you'll definitely have a way, right?"

"Playing a competition..."

After figuring out Valensa's current difficulties, Frieda rested her elbows on the table, propped her chin on two fingers, and thought for a moment:

"Based on what you've described, what you need is less of a ray and more of a rapid attack that can be launched by locking onto the enemy with your eyes, right?"

This kind of attack doesn't need to be very lethal; it just needs to be enough to pose a fatal threat to an ordinary person, right?

"Is such that."

Valensa nodded obediently, then smiled sweetly.

"You must have a way, right? Smart, beautiful, and powerful big sister Friggia~~"

"There are solutions, of course."

Friggia chuckled softly, a hint of nostalgia on her face:

"The magic tricks I used to tease others back then are quite suitable."

"A trick to tease someone?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious:

"Sister Friggia, did you ever tease others back then?"

"Why not?"

Friggia gave Valensa a strange look:

"Back on Eve, I was a goddess worshipped by everyone... Not to mention your Sun Goddess, a creator-level true god, even some very weak false gods had priests serving her. I also had many divine servants back then, okay? And they were all very cute girls... Is it strange that I would perform a few magic tricks to amuse them? You must have been teased by your goddess while you were praying, right?"

"Ah this..."

Valensa was stunned, but upon reflection, she really couldn't refute it.

While she was praying, she would occasionally feel the sunlight become exceptionally bright and warm, like a slender hand gently caressing her body, especially the parts tightly covered by black stockings.

That's probably because the goddess herself is teasing me.

Valensa sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, it's hard for a pretty girl to avoid being harassed by her superiors no matter where she goes... Luckily, her superior is also a great beauty, so she doesn't suffer any loss from being harassed.

While Valensa was thinking about these things, Frieda suddenly felt a little sad:

"Think of my divine servants, they are all such lovely children, and they all wholeheartedly believed that I could save them from the catastrophe, but in the end... sigh."

In the final moments of the Eve civilization, I didn't even dare to look into the eyes of those who, on the eve of their death, still held trust and hope in me... It would have made me hate my own powerlessness, watching helplessly as the civilization I was meant to protect vanished without being able to do anything about it.

But that was just self-deception. In the end, I was crushed by immense grief, abandoning the path to godhood that I had almost completed. I went from being a false god, once closest to the true god, to the primordial witch of the universe, and relied on the witch's power to survive even after the destruction of the Eve civilization... Perhaps, disappearing along with the civilization on this planet was the best ending for me?

"That's definitely not true!"

Valensa quickly interrupted Frieda's sadness, taking in both of Frieda's hands—the ones Frieda wasn't using to support her chin—and looking intently into her purple eyes:

"Sister Friggia, you are not only a goddess created by the Eve civilization to protect themselves, but also the inheritor of their civilization."

Perhaps when the entire civilization poured its resources into creating you, Sister Friedia, the Eve civilization had already prepared for the worst... Even if the Eve civilization could not survive the catastrophe, Sister Friedia, you could survive as an even more powerful life form and continue the Eve civilization.
