The story of the black silk female knight

However, for some people who are seeking certain clues, even if it is just a rumor, it is necessary to investigate it thoroughly... It is better to be wrong than to miss the opportunity.

After much investigation, it was discovered that there really was such a beautiful married woman. She had married a male paladin two years ago. She herself was a high-ranking nun, and her ancestor was a high-ranking church official who had retreated from Tianxuan Continent. She was their only bloodline descendant.

Based on the known information, there is a high probability that this beautiful married woman is the target... but there is also a certain probability that she is a trap.

Even if it's a trap, we have to try it... The current situation is quite bad; if we don't solve the problem with that box soon, it's only a matter of time before it's discovered.

Ultimately, someone decided to take action.

. . . . .

That evening, two-thirds of the sky had already darkened, but night had not yet fully fallen.

A beautiful and curvaceous nun did not go home after leaving the church, but instead furtively looked around.

After confirming that no one nearby recognized her, she quickly slipped into a small hut by the roadside and changed her clothes inside.

She skillfully removed her black and white nun's habit with gold patterns, and her graceful body was then tightly wrapped in a light gauze dress.

Unlike ordinary dresses, this dress is designed more like a decisive outfit, with heart-shaped cutouts at the back waist and below the bust, revealing alluring snow-white skin.

Paired with earrings and a necklace that accentuate her alluring charm, the nun who was just moments ago looking holy instantly transforms into a noblewoman eager to meet her lover and pursue pleasure.

She did indeed intend to see her lover.

After changing into her decisive outfit, she left the hut again, took out a magic flute, and skillfully blew a few notes.

In the magical glow, a magnificent carriage appeared out of thin air, its sides decorated with beautiful silk artificial flowers, the stamens of which carried an ambiguous fragrance like real fresh flowers.

The beautiful woman, about to have an affair, immediately jumped into the carriage and drove away. Shortly after she left, a suspicious dark figure quickly followed, and they both disappeared into the completely descending night.

Chapter 27 Killing the Imposter

A beautiful married woman, dressed in her decisive outfit, sped through the night in an automatic carriage, while a dark figure steadily followed behind at a distance of about a kilometer.

This wasn't the first time the shadowy figure had followed this beautiful married woman. After learning that she was likely connected to the matter he was investigating, the shadowy figure had been keeping an eye on her.

However, considering that this matter might be a trap, the shadowy figure had not followed too closely before, and was in a state where he could escape at any time, and he did not have a suitable opportunity.

Because this beautiful married woman's daily life was too routine, consisting of going back and forth between the cathedral and her home every day, occasionally going to her neighbor's house for a cup of tea and a chat.

She herself was a nun with little combat ability, and her husband was a paladin, but his strength was only at the Beacon level, which was insignificant to the shadow.

However, all her neighbors were clergy of the Church of the Sun, including a high priest, which made the shadowy figure hesitant to make a move near her home. He could only wait for her to go out for an affair and seize the opportunity.

Now the opportunity has finally arrived... Even if the shadowy figure knows there might be a trap, he has to take the risk because he can't wait any longer, and who knows when this married woman will have her next affair.

After riding the self-driving carriage through the streets for about half an hour, the shadowy figure noticed that the population density in the surrounding area had decreased significantly, and many houses were empty.

He was somewhat wary, but the shadowy figure didn't take it seriously.

The total area of ​​the Divine Continent is close to 4000 million square kilometers, which is about the size of South America and North America combined in Valensa's previous life, but the total population is less than 5 million, and the entire continent has completed urbanization and transformation.

Even if the church provides free housing to every believer, there are still far more houses than can be used up in the mainland. Currently, more than 60% of the houses are still vacant. It is normal for some relatively remote streets to be lined with houses but no one lives there.

Having an affair... especially with one's own husband's sister, it's perfectly reasonable to choose a secluded, sparsely populated place.

The shadowy figure showed a hint of caution and wariness, but not much.

It wasn't until a melodious female voice suddenly rang out from the darkness, saying "Domain, unfold," and at the same time, the surrounding environment completely changed, transforming into a deep, swirling sea of ​​vortexes under the blazing sun, that the shadowy figure realized it had fallen into a trap.

. . . . .

Valensa had actually noticed the presence of the shadowy figure long ago.

The plan is going smoothly.

She had her senior sister impersonate a beautiful married nun, while the priests and paladins in charge of intelligence spread rumors in various entertainment venues... and the imposter took the bait.

It started on the fifth day after the plan was executed. Valensa and the Phantom Thief, whose sense of smell had been greatly enhanced by their mental powers, both noticed a strange and faint perfume scent that would occasionally linger near the housewife nun that the Phantom Thief was disguised as.

However, the owner of the perfume was very cautious. Several times when Valensa tried to sneak over, the other person left as soon as she moved.

Fortunately, Valencia was prepared for this. She was not in a hurry to close the net, but instead had the master thief continue to act out the daily life of a married nun for several days to slowly wear down the target's patience.

Miss Thief is the best at disguising herself as others. In Valencia's previous life, she would definitely be an Oscar-winning actress who could win countless awards. Her portrayal of the married nun was flawless, and even if the shadowy figure observed her for several days, he would not be able to find any flaws.

Valensa and her group were indeed eager to catch the imposter, but the imposter was even more eager and would never let go of the opportunity to have the married nun have an affair.

As it turned out, the imposter finally made his move. Because most attention was focused on the beautiful housewife disguised as the phantom thief, Valensa, who was hiding by the roadside, was overlooked, allowing Valensa to finally get close to the area of ​​effect.

Valenza's domain may not provide the same combat power boost as those monster lords who specialize in domains, but a domain is a domain. Even a domain without any effect is just as useful for trapping enemies who want to escape and forcing them to fight to the death.

If you can trap the enemy within the territory, you can definitely keep them here.

Valensa was very confident, so after deploying her domain, she did not rush to attack. Instead, she used divine magic to buff herself, intending to create a greater advantage and put psychological pressure on her opponent.

Within the area, the shadowy figure that had been tracking the carriage had fully revealed itself, and in every aspect, it matched the known information about the imposter phantom thief perfectly.

He was short and thin, probably less than 1.5 meters tall, completely skin and bones, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face. If you painted his skin with green dye, he could totally cosplay as a goblin.

However, his aura was very strong, a world apart from that of the goblin. He was also a Radiant-rank expert, probably on par with Valensa... not as strong as a Moon Radiant, but more ferocious than most Star Radiant experts.

This is one of the reasons why Valensa chose to buff herself first... This fake phantom thief is not so easy to deal with; carelessness could lead to disaster, so she must go all out.

Because the simplest and most direct way to break through a domain is to defeat the domain holder... therefore, Valensa believes that this fake phantom thief is very likely to unleash his power right from the start in order to quickly break through the domain and escape.

Unexpectedly, the monkey-like imposter thief didn't even glance at Valensa. Instead, he rapidly formed hand seals with strange gestures, and magical energy, unlike magic or divine power, surged around him.

brush!

"Boundary Escape: Free and Unfettered Journey!"

The hoarse voice murmured a sentence quickly, and the imposter thief vanished from Valensa's domain like a game character suddenly logging off.

They escaped?

Valensa was greatly surprised. This was the first time she had ever seen such a strange spell that allowed one to leave a domain without having to fight the domain creator... It wasn't spatial magic either; the spell's energy was actually somewhat similar to the spiritual power used by Asakura Mai.

Could it be... that this imposter phantom thief is really from the Eastern Continent? Or perhaps, like the Four Islands Alliance, a descendant of Easterners?

While making wild guesses in her mind, Valensa quickly withdrew her domain and activated her perception to the maximum to search for the whereabouts of the imposter thief.

The imposter thief showed no intention of lingering in the fight and turned to run away as soon as he left the area.

Miss Thief, who has stopped acting, and Ilana are chasing him, but there is a clear difference in their speeds, and the distance between them is widening. At this rate, they will lose him completely in less than 10 seconds.

Crack!

Valensa immediately activated [Ceremony Armor: Dark Lightning Armor], and at the same time mobilized her mental power to greatly enhance her speed, bringing her speed close to 7 times the speed of sound, and chased after the fake phantom thief.

Then something even more surprising happened to Valensa... She encountered someone who was faster than her when their overall strength was about the same, which was a first for her.

The imposter thief put his wrists together, making a pose somewhat like the Kamehameha, and expelled an extremely powerful stream of air. Using the reaction force, he propelled himself through the air like a human missile at supersonic speeds, even faster than Valensa.

Although the difference in speed is not significant, probably not exceeding 5%, the gap between the two sides is still gradually widening.

More importantly, Valensa's speed had reached its limit, while the fake phantom thief's speed was still slowly increasing... The huge gust of air had alarmed many people on the ground, and many locals of the God's Blessed Continent who had never seen such a thing before were looking up and watching curiously.

This made Valensa hesitant to control Rikka to snipe the target with the Sunfire Ray... Many of the bold onlookers on the ground were ordinary believers who were powerless to even kill a chicken. Not to mention a misfire that hit them, even the rocks kicked up by the aftershock of the explosion could kill them.

In this urgent and desperate situation, Valensa had no choice but to opt for a safer approach: seeking help from a powerful figure.

She activated the Faith Circuit communication ability, which she had only acquired after officially taking office, and urgently called Zero in the Sanctuary:

"Help me, Zero-neechan... that guy is about to escape!"

"Oh? That imposter actually managed to escape from Valensa's sister? Pretty capable, huh?"

Zero's voice was clearly somewhat surprised.

From the two people who had their spells implanted by the imposter phantom thief, Zero had already deduced the imposter phantom thief's approximate strength based on the spell's intensity.

She should be similar to Valensa in normal circumstances, but in a life-or-death battle, she definitely can't beat Valensa, not to mention the assistance of High Priestess Ilana and the Phantom Thief... Three against one, she won't lose.

I miscalculated... We didn't lose in a three-on-one situation, but we didn't win either, because they could run away.

"He knows a strange spell that allows him to escape my domain, and his speed in his peak burst state is even faster than mine... Anyway, Zero, think of a way, he's about to get out of my sight!"

At this point, the distance between the two sides had increased to approximately 2500 meters. Even though Valensa had enhanced her vision with mental power, she could only see a blurry shadow in the darkness.

"Stop talking, I'll borrow your left eye."

Zero seemed to realize the urgency of the situation, so he stopped joking and immediately took action.

She said she wanted to borrow Valencia's left eye, but it wasn't a discussion at all; it was a notification.

Valensa immediately felt a warm, moist sensation travel through her faith circuit into her left eye, and then her entire field of vision in her left eye changed drastically.

Before them was no longer a starry night sky, but a magnificent palace... It seemed to be the interior of the core temple in the Holy Land?

Is my left eye sharing the same field of vision as Zero's left eye?

Valensa had just figured out what was going on when she received a new message from Zero within her faith circuit:

"I've already seen him... Don't worry, he can't escape. Just be ready to finish him off."

Just be ready to finish off the enemy?

What are you trying to do, Sister Zero... You're in the Holy Land, do you have a way to attack us from thousands of kilometers away?

Valensa's doubts were quickly answered.

After her left eye, she suddenly felt a warm, wet sensation in her buttocks, followed by a part of her body that didn't belong to her protruding from under her skirt... It was Zero's succubus tail.

The tip of its tail is still an ambiguous pink heart shape, but at this moment it doesn't feel awkward at all; instead, it exudes a breathtaking power.

BIU!

A pink ray with petal-like effects shot out from the tip of its tail, piercing the night sky like a magical girl's ultimate magic ray in an anime, accurately hitting the imposter phantom thief who had changed positions more than ten times in an attempt to dodge.

Immediately, the imposter thief, like a drone hit by an anti-aircraft laser, could no longer maintain its flight attitude. It continued to glide for nearly 2000 meters due to inertia before crashing to the ground.

It was also in the center of a street, and when Valensa arrived, she saw several bold and curious local residents trying to get a closer look.

"Get out of the way! He's a criminal wanted by the church, he's very dangerous!"

Seeing this, Valensa immediately shouted at the passersby not to do anything reckless, while simultaneously charging up all the Sunfire Rays of the Six Flower Floating Cannons... As long as the imposter phantom thief showed any inclination to take hostages, she would abandon the idea of ​​capturing him alive and shoot him dead directly.

But Valensa seemed to be overthinking it... Zero's tail-tip cannon shot was quite powerful, and it wasn't until Valensa evacuated the crowd and walked to within 10 meters of the fake phantom thief that the fake phantom thief finally managed to get up.

Roar!

They thought the imposter thief would try to escape, but he seemed to have lost his mind, letting out a trapped beast's roar, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Valensa's lower body, drool dripping down his face.

Without using any strange magic or those agile and unpredictable movements, the imposter thief launched a frontal charge at Valensa, lunging towards her black-stockinged legs.

Valensa was very familiar with this state... those monkey-like monsters who were charmed by Melody's Shining Sword Dance were basically all like this.

Valensa then raised her right leg, which was covered by black pantyhose, high, and slashed it down with great force after the imposter thief rushed past.

Snapped!

The kick was incredibly precise. First, the heel struck the imposter's head, sending him sprawling backward. Then, the sole of the foot stomped on the imposter's chest, crushing him underfoot. The ground around the imposter cracked, and countless bones in his body creaked and broke.

The power of the Yangyan Divine Force was injected into the fake phantom thief's body through the nail-piercing technique, burning most of his internal organs half-cooked and leaving his skin covered in ulcers.

An ordinary person would have died several times over from such a kick, but for a Radiant-rank expert, it was only a serious injury. In fact, the intense pain even brought the imposter thief back to consciousness, waking him from Zero's charm spell.

"be honest!"

Upon seeing this, Valencia immediately reprimanded him and became alert, quickly mentally rehearsing several escape plans that the imposter thief might choose.

But the imposter thief completely ignored Valensa's threat, instead giving a sinister smile and letting out a final, frenzied shout in a hoarse voice:

"Long live the Dragon Emperor!"

Damn!

Valensa reacted quickly, thrusting her foot forward and kicking the imposter thief's neck, sending his head flying far away.

But in that instant, the imposter thief still managed to complete his final spell... His goblin-like, headless body rapidly expanded like a balloon connected to an air pump.

boom!

Amidst the deafening explosion and the resulting cloud of dust, Valensa was blasted into the air, performing several 360-degree spins before crashing heavily to her buttocks, smashing the already cracked ground into pieces.

"Ouch~~ It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Valensa's butt hurt terribly from the fall, but she didn't even bother to use her magic to heal herself. She quickly got up and went to find the fake phantom thief.

The result was terrible.

The imposter's body exploded completely after rapidly expanding, and even with computer modeling by a master puzzle maker, it would be difficult to reconstruct it now.

Although Valensa kicked the fake thief's head out at the last moment, she couldn't control her strength at that point... As a result, his head was flattened, his skull shattered like an eggshell hitting a rock, and his brains spilled all over the ground. Even the most powerful healing magic couldn't save him.

Resurrection magic won't work either... Unless the sun goddess herself performs a miracle, even the most powerful resurrection magic requires a relatively intact corpse to be resurrected, and a body completely reduced to the size of a grain of rice and a flat, shattered head certainly don't meet the requirements.
