The story of the black silk female knight

However, the summoned entity of longing is just a longing entity; its strength is at most 3% of its peak strength in life.

The truly powerful aspect of Tia's spell is that she not only summoned the spiritual entities of her ancestors from past generations, but also granted them the power they possessed at their peak in life.

This is something that ordinary necromancy can't do; it's a miracle that only the Witch of Time can summon, allowing those thought entities to briefly overlap with their peak time in life.

The miracle of the Witch of Time comes at a price.

So, just as Valensa and Zero started playing with the ball, Tia, who was meditating, was forced to watch the live stream.

Let's just watch the live stream, it's not the first time we've paid this price. Tia knows Valensa's character all too well... She's very angry, but she can barely control her rage.

What truly made Tia unable to resist smashing cups and kicking tables in the room was Valensa's drooling murmur after she was overjoyed—'Tia, I'm sorry.'

Oh, you've had your fun, and now you're apologizing to me?

And since you said sorry, that means you knew I was watching, right? Knowing I was watching and still acting like this... where's your resilience and dignity as a legendary paladin? You could have at least held on a little longer before giving in! You idiot!

In short, Tia was furious; her crimson eyes burned with rage.

When you get back, I'm going to show you what it means to pretend to play with Esem and then actually beat you to a pulp!

snort!

. . . . .

On the other side, a satisfied Valensa was embraced by Zero, who looked like he had just had his fun, and slept until almost noon the next day before getting up.

As previously agreed, Valensa was now accompanying Zero around the clock. After the two washed up and had some lunch, they began their second day of entertainment.

Watching sports, playing cards, and taking a bath are Zero's three great hobbies. He already watched and enjoyed the sports game last night, so today he's going to play cards.

It's just a game of cards; surely we won't be played by a succubus this time?

Valensa had such fantasies during lunch, but soon after finishing her meal, she realized she was being too naive.

The place where they played cards was not the same venue that Valensa frequented during her last visit, but rather a hidden basement in one of Zero's residences.

As soon as Valencia stepped into the basement, she felt a similar sensation to that inside the arena... This basement should also have the same function as the arena, allowing the characters from the cards to materialize, letting the card player fight alongside their cards, and even calling the cards their wives.

...and that might not be all.

After staying for a few more minutes, Valensa keenly sensed that the divine energy fluctuations in this basement were different from those in the card game hall, and were more complex.

"My dear sister, you felt it too, right? Hehe~~ It's a little different here~~"

Zero had changed out of her saintly attire at some point, and now she was only wearing a tight black latex suit, looking just like a female investigator in a pornographic film.

The zipper on the upper part of the latex suit wasn't fully closed, revealing a clear white cleavage and a card tucked inside.

Seeing Valensa looking over, Zero took the card out of the white ditch, placed it to his lips, and gently kissed it.

"Here, not only can I make card spirits materialize and fight alongside you, but I can also make you feel the same way as the card spirits... Simply put, as the player, you will also be affected by the card effects~~"

Players will also be affected by card effects? Isn't this just Dark Duel?

Valensa mentally cursed, swallowing hard, sensing something was wrong.

Tonight, the female knight will likely suffer another crushing defeat at the hands of the succubus saintess.

The duel begins.

"Since this is your first time here, little sister, you can go first!"

Zero generously gave up the first move, and Valensa didn't hold back either.

She pulled out her best deck, and with a series of smooth and fluid maneuvers, she unleashed a devastating attack in the first turn, filling the entire board.

Looking at the three Valkyries and two magical girls wearing five-colored stockings surrounding her, Valensa felt a great sense of security.

This deck is still very strong. Valensa's deck is a T0-level deck, which combines strength and appearance. It is very popular among card players in the Sanctuary. Often, as long as the first move is successful, the opponent can surrender immediately.

Valencia desperately wanted Zero to surrender, but that was clearly just wishful thinking.

"Is Valensa's turn over? Then it's my turn next!"

After gaining turn control, Zero didn't rush to make a move, but instead gave a smiling commentary on Valensa's final move:

"It's a five-color pantyhose team field with 3 wipes and 2 Kang... Normally, I would probably surrender right here, but unfortunately, I have a pretty good hand this time."

"Because I drew this card right from the start!"

As Zero spoke, she raised her hand high, imbued a card with pink holy light, and flung it to the ground:

"I activate the Field Spell Card..."

"You are not allowed to start it!"

Valensa didn't know what deck Zero was using, but a card that Zero valued so highly must have a very powerful effect, so directly countering it was the best option.

"I activate the effect of Black Silk Magical Girl! Once per turn, negate the activation of a card and banish it! Until the end of this turn, you cannot activate another card with the same name!"

"Just eliminate it directly? That's a wise choice, but also a pity~~"

Zero simply smiled and pursed his lips:

"Your black-stockinged magical girl is strong, but she didn't move."

"This……"

Valensa also noticed this.

She had clearly carried out the operation and given the command to the card spirit, but the black-stockinged magical girl surrounding her remained unmoved.

In this situation... could it be...?

"It's exactly what you think, Valensa~~"

Zero smiled as she activated her card:

"When this card of mine is activated, it cannot be chained by the abilities of summoned creatures... If you, Valencia, had a trap that could counterattack, I probably would have surrendered immediately, but unfortunately you don't... So, are you ready to withstand my offensive?"

Field Spell Card, [Succubus's Pleasure Space], activated successfully.

The atmosphere in the entire basement immediately turned pink. There were large beds and soft cushions all around, and various small toys were placed on the sheets and cushions. The air was filled with a smell that would make you blush if you inhaled it. You could also hear all sorts of strange auditory hallucinations and hallucinations would appear in your eyes from time to time.

"What... what kind of deck is this? I've never encountered this before?"

Valensa soon felt her mouth dry, her waist and legs weak, her black-stockinged legs tightly pressed together, and she would gasp for breath every now and then.

She seemed to have returned to the feeling of defeat she had experienced after losing to the succubus the night before, or as if she were dating multiple Tias at the same time. Her limbs felt light and airy, and her body felt increasingly comfortable. It wouldn't be surprising if her mind went completely blank at any moment.

"This is my treasured, exclusive deck. It's not available anywhere else. It's normal that you haven't seen it before, Valensa... but it will definitely leave a lasting impression on you."

Zero squinted, licked his lips, and then played another card:

"This is just the beginning? I'm going to continue..."

"Do not operate!"

Valensa bit her tongue hard to stay awake and once again activated the summoning ability to chain Zero's cards.

Cards that don't join skill chains are very rare, and Valensa doesn't believe that every card in Zero has this effect... otherwise her deck would be too unbalanced.

As expected, the black-stockinged magical girl beside Valensa carried out the order, immediately firing a dazzling beam of light that interrupted Zero's card activation and banished Zero's card.

"Hmm~~ So it really won't pass?"

Zero seemed to have expected this, simply shrugged, and the corners of his mouth turned up again:

"You successfully stopped my attack, but you also triggered the second effect of [Succubus's Pleasure Space]. Whenever a summon uses a skill, a charm counter is placed on that summon... This effect is not part of a skill chain and cannot be countered."

"...Then let's not talk about peace, let's continue the battle."

Seeing the strange pink patterns imprinted on her black-stockinged magical girl body by Zero, Valensa felt an even stronger sense of foreboding, but at this point, she could only grit her teeth and finish playing her cards.

In this card battle game, you can draw 5 cards at the start of your turn, and draw 1 card at the start of your turn when you go second, so you have a total of 6 cards in your hand.

Apart from the first card that didn't join the skill chain, when Zero used the other 5 cards, Valensa didn't hesitate to chain them with her summon skill, rendering all those cards ineffective.

Zero was left empty-handed, except for one Field Spell Card that had already been activated.

However, Valencia's five-colored pantyhose team of three Valkyries and two magical girls were all marked with enchantment symbols by Zero.

Seeing that Zero was still smiling even though he had no cards left to play, Valensa inwardly cried out in alarm. But not knowing the effects of her opponent's cards, she could only brace herself and say:

"Sister Zero, you've run out of cards to play! And I still have 5 powerful summons on the field! This game is over! I've got this game in the bag!"

"Yes... this round is over, but I'll be the winner."

Zero laughed even more heartily upon hearing this, and waved his hand:

"Enter the combat stage!"

"What's the point of advancing to Battle Rank if you don't have any summons on the field?"

"I don't have any summons on the field, but you do, little sister?"

Ling snapped his fingers:

"【Succubus's Pleasure Space】Effect 3 activated! Removes charm counters and gains control of the opponent's summons until the end of the battle phase... Come, beauties~~"

Immediately, the three Valkyries and two magical girls who were firmly protecting Valensa all betrayed her. They shyly threw themselves into Zero's arms and drew their weapons on Valensa.

"How...how could this happen?"

Valensa stared in disbelief, her legs buckled, and she collapsed onto the cushion in a duck-like position.

With his own empty field, the attack power of those 5 summoned creatures was enough to wipe out his health.

Lost.

"Hoo hoo... Being defeated by your own summoned creature is an inevitable part of this card battle game~~ Take this, charge!"

Zero hugged and kissed the three Valkyries and two magical girls, then waved his hand again, issuing the attack command.

Without hesitation, the Five-Colored Pantyhose team, temporarily controlled by the succubus, unleashed a barrage of dazzling ultimate moves at Valensa, causing her health to steadily decrease until it reached zero.

If it were a normal card battle game like those in the arena, then it's just a loss, and you can just start a new game.

But Zero is different here... She said from the beginning that attacks launched by cards are also effective against the player who plays the card.

Now Valensa was truly a defeated knight. In the combined attack of three Valkyries and two magical girls using their ultimate moves, her defenses were completely breached—her divine particle armor vanished, her lace shirt lost its buttons, her skirt was reduced to only one-third of its original length, and her black pantyhose were riddled with holes.

With the attack over, the battle naturally ended as well. The Valkyries and magical girls who had been temporarily controlled by Zero regained their senses and returned to Valensa's side.

But it was too late. With Valensa's life reduced to 0, the duel was over. The Valkyries and magical girls could only disappear with tears of regret on their faces, turning back into their card forms and scattering messily around Valensa.

"Whew... I won the first round!"

Zero crouched down beside Valensa and gently poked her body with his tail.

"Want to keep playing, Valencia? You're not done after just one game, are you?"

"Of course...we must continue!"

Valensa, suppressing the various sensations within her body, puffed out her cheeks and sat up from the cushion:

"Sister Zero, don't be too smug! I've figured out your deck's strategy! It won't be so easy for you to beat me from now on!"

"Really? Then let's continue playing cards~~"

Zero didn't take the opportunity to continue bullying Valensa's main body. Instead, he returned to his position, snapped his fingers, and reset the game.

After that, the game of cards lasted for the entire afternoon and then for most of the night.

Valensa did perform better in the second game than in the first, but she still didn't win a single game.

There's no way around it, the deck's synergy is just too bad, Zero almost perfectly counters her.

Valenza's deck construction is all about a smooth, explosive burst of attacks, summoning multiple powerful summons in a single turn.

Zero's deck construction involves placing charm counters in various ways to lure the opponent's summons during the battle phase, allowing the opponent to be defeated by their own summons.

Valensa couldn't even remember how many times she had been knocked down by her own summons. There was even one time when Zero activated a player-versus-player effect and personally entered the fray... She had Valensa's summons hold down Valensa's hands and feet while she attacked Valensa relentlessly until Valensa's health reached 0.

In the end, Valensa even gave up on winning and instead looked forward to seeing what new way Zero would defeat her... In fact, before Zero even made a move, Valensa would already be in a defeated pose during each battle.

This actually makes zeros somewhat uninteresting towards the end:

"Actually, I still prefer your initial rebellious side, Valencia. Couldn't you have struggled a little more?"

That being said, the succubus saintess showed no mercy to the fallen female knight, directly using cards to conjure various interrogation tools and severely punishing her.

Until the next morning.

. . . . .

Meanwhile, in the underground ruins of Frenoia, the undead maids responsible for taking care of everyone's lives finally survived a terrifying night.
