The story of the black silk female knight

"And the next thing we need to do is find a way to help this deceased person remember their past life... or simply let them be free."

"Is it possible? Or rather, how should it be done?"

Valensa quickly asked:

"This blue-robed man's power is so strange that even you, Sister Friggia, can't do anything about it... How are we supposed to defeat a character from a two-dimensional world?"

"Of course, we'll enter the anime world and defeat her."

Friggia said casually:

"The essence of Qingyi's power is actually to pull you in the game from the reflection, and fight her in the game world according to the game rules... If you are killed by her in the game, you will die in reality as well, unless you have transcended the rules."

Of course, if you can defeat her in the game, you can kill her... otherwise, no matter how you attack the ice, it's useless.

"This……"

Instead of impulsively declaring herself a gaming expert, Valensa frowned:

"Is that even possible? For a newbie to defeat a game character that's been around for thousands of years? And she might even be cheating and modifying the data?"

"Of course not... If you, Valensa, really enter the game to challenge Qingyi, there's a high chance you won't come back, unless you can completely abandon your human identity and become an evil god."

Friggia immediately laughed and pinched Valensa's cheek, making no attempt to hide the fact that she had just been talking nonsense.

It wasn't until Valensa angrily bit her finger that Frieda was forced to be serious:

"Don't worry... I wasn't just kidding you. I really do have a way to completely solve Qingyi's problem, and maybe we can even deal with Minggui together."

Have you forgotten? No matter how formidable Qingyi's powers are, she's still a game character. There's no way to completely defeat her in a game; the only way is…

"Disrupt or control the game server where her data is located!"

Valensa finally understood, and she released her grip on Frieda, shading her eyes with her hand as she looked into the depths of the icy plains:

"It's very likely there... but that would be difficult to do, right? Even if Qingyi is just the undead of a false god now... a game server that can handle the data of a false god can't be completely destroyed by me just by pouring a cup of milk tea on it, can it?"

“It would indeed be difficult for others, and they would likely be killed by the undead in blue, but isn’t that what I’m here for?”

Frieda pulled Valensa's arm back into her embrace, snuggling it close, and gave a smug hum.

"Even before the catastrophe that befell Eve, there were no more than five people who knew about Qingyi's data source code and had the right to modify it, and I... was one of them."

So... dear sister, why don't you start thinking now about how to sincerely thank your older sister after this is all over?

"...Wasn't what we had before coming here enough?"

Feeling the heat of Friggia's body, Valensa had no intention of pulling her arm away.

Because no matter how many times you experience it, the Great Witch is really big and feels very comfortable.

"Of course it's not enough."

Friggia's lips and eyes both turned up in a smile:

“If this trip to the Ice Plains goes smoothly, Valensa, you'll be able to handle more than just the Nether Ghost... Doesn't the Mist Demon side still lack a reliable and powerful AI? Don't you think Qingyi would be a perfect fit?”

. . . . .

With the Ice Phantom in Blue temporarily lured away by the Winston father and son, the experimental team, though deeply disappointed, had no choice but to withdraw from the operation under Seraya's orders.

They will continue to venture deep into the ice plains to search for the location of the Blue Robe server, which consists of only Valensa, Frigeia, and Seraya.

Of course, Friggia continued to minimize contact with the clergy of the Church of the Sun, hiding in Valensa's shadow space... Only Valensa and Seraya walked side by side on the ice plains.

Valensa goes without saying. Although she is not officially a Moon-level warrior, many people have long regarded her as a Moon-level warrior... and many real Moon-level warriors may not be able to defeat her.

Seraya is much more low-key, but she is also an inner palace knight of America, the Moon Cluster, and has served in that position for hundreds of years. If we're talking about seniority, Valensa's grandfather would have to call her aunt.

Such a senior member who has served as a Knight of the Temple for hundreds of years must certainly be quite powerful.

Although Valensa had not yet witnessed Seraya's full power, her intuition told her that Seraya was likely more than just a Star-level expert.

This rendered the central region of the ice field, which many considered a no-man's-land, completely harmless to Valensa and Seraya.

The raging blizzard, powerful enough to tear apart cultivators below the Shining Rank, was completely unable to penetrate the golden light surrounding the two girls as they walked.

That was a shield formed from the power of the Sunfire God, powerful enough to melt all blizzards and solid ice.

The dangerous monsters lurking beneath the ice mostly ignored the two women... The more powerful the monster, the smarter it is; unless it is extremely hungry, it is unwilling to get hurt.

There are indeed monsters that are truly starving and desperate, but if you want to eat others, you must be prepared to be eaten yourself... Their sacrifices were not meaningless; at least Valensa and Seraya got to enjoy a few more fresh hot pot meals in the icy plains.

The true masters of the Ice Plains—the Netherworld Clan—never appeared.

After all, the Netherworld Ghosts are still in a dormant period, and in the vast ice plains, it is very difficult to find them even if you want to do so without a guide.

The journey went very smoothly.

Until we reach that boundary line.

The boundary line of the core area of ​​the ice field.

For a thousand years, no one has ever returned alive after crossing this border.

Including the Radiant Rank.

Valensa was well-prepared to cross this border.

I'm confident.

Two things to keep in mind.

Firstly, there is the great witch Friggia, who has a great understanding of the ancient Eve civilization.

Secondly, there was the half of the evil god's bloodline that her mother left her.

Elena has personally proven during the descent of the evil god that no matter how harsh the environment on this planet, it cannot truly threaten an evil god.

The worst outcome is simply that I will never be able to be a human being again.

It's bad, but not unbearable.

So the boundary line only made Valensa pause and admire it for a few seconds before she continued walking forward without hesitation.

To her surprise, Seraya didn't even pause for a few seconds, as if the very obvious boundary line in front of her didn't exist at all.

"Are you really going to give it a second thought?"

Valensa finally couldn't hold back and, in a very sincere tone, said something that was true but also incredibly pretentious:

"After all, you are not me."

"I know."

Seraya was neither annoyed nor hesitant:

"I think I've made myself very clear before... Witnessing the end of the Netherworld Clan is my greatest wish for the rest of my life."

"You... well, never mind."

Valensa sighed, but ultimately said nothing and continued on her way.

Neither of them walked fast, but they didn't stop for a moment, and soon they reached the boundary line.

This boundary line was not set up by some peerless expert; it is a purely natural phenomenon.

One step back is an ice field, one step forward is the ocean.

The ocean connects heaven and earth, covering everything without leaving a single gap.

The ocean with a temperature below -195 degrees Celsius.

The liquid that makes up the seawater is no longer dihydrogen monoxide, but air, which is mainly composed of nitrogen.

The so-called core of the ice field is a region where even air exists only in a liquid state. Most creatures will die immediately if they cross the boundary line, and no creature can survive here.

Unless it's not a living being.

For example, the underworld ghost.

This is one of the reasons why the mystery of the underworld has not yet been solved.

Countless wise and brave men of mankind have tried to completely eliminate the natural disasters in the north, but they all stopped before this boundary line or never returned after entering it.

"...Praise be to Your Majesty the Goddess."

Seraya murmured a prayer, and the divine power of the Sunfire enveloping her intensified once more, like a small sun falling on an ice field, causing smoke to rise near the boundary line.

Even a powerful being at the Radiant Rank, whose life level has undergone a complete evolution, cannot directly resist such a low temperature that can even liquefy the air with their physical body; they must continuously consume enormous amounts of biological energy to fight against it.

"Let me scout the way for you first."

Seraya, giving Valensa no chance to refuse, quickened her pace, wanting to cross the boundary line and plunge directly into the ultra-low-temperature ocean.

Fortunately, Valencia still has a significant speed advantage.

"Wait first!"

She grabbed Seraya's wrist in one swift motion, while her other hand was not idle either, rapidly drawing several holy runes in front of her, unleashing a divine spell on par with the mage's [Mansion Spell].

【refuge】.

A divine spell that can conjure a small temple out of thin air in any environment.

The small temple's defenses weren't particularly strong, but they were enough to allow the priests who cast this divine spell to rest inside for a while... even on the icy plains.

The temperature on this side of the border did not decrease gradually, but rather dropped sharply, similar to the line where the ice field and America meet.

Inside the boundary line is liquid air with a temperature that does not exceed -195 degrees Celsius, while the outside temperature has not yet dropped below -100 degrees Celsius.

The water level is also very low, but humans here are not unable to survive.

At least the little shrine in the shelter is quite warm.

"What do you mean?"

Seraya didn't resist being pulled into the small temple by Valensa; she was just a little surprised.

"Didn't we just have our last hot pot meal? You're not hungry so soon, are you? Or are you scared and want to have another meal?"

"No, I just use this as a locker room."

Valensa smiled and shook her head:

"Although with our strength, we could change clothes directly on the ice field without any problem, what if some perverted creatures spied on us? You may not care since you're still single, but I'm engaged and can't betray Tia."

After saying that, without paying attention to Seraya's stunned expression, Valensa directly took out a set of white, tight-fitting clothes from her storage space, but the material was clearly not from this world, and handed them over:

“I didn’t expect you to come, so I didn’t prepare your size when I ordered this dress. I can only give you mine to wear for now… It might not fit very well. If you really can’t fill it out, find something to pad it with.”

"...Thank you for your kind reminder, but I don't need the pad."

Seraya rolled her eyes at Valensa, clearly annoyed.

But after carefully comparing her own body size with Valensa's, Seraya had to admit that the difference was indeed quite significant.

"Don't forget, I'm not only a paladin, but also a vampire! Changing the size of certain parts of our bodies is one of our talents!"

As Seraya's voice rang out, her body turned into mist within seconds, then reformed into human form. Her figure was indeed much fuller, able to fit the clothes Valensa had given her, but she was noticeably shorter.

"...I think you should use something as a pad."

Valensa offered sincere advice:

"It can indeed be stretched out like this, but if the height and size are not right, it will further affect the performance of the garment."

"...Tsk!"

Seraya was very unwilling, but she had to admit the truth of what Valensa said.

As she readjusted her body proportions, she also asked with some curiosity:

"This clothing allows us to withstand extremely low temperatures without continuously expending divine power? Is it some kind of legendary technological marvel? But this kind of technology clearly doesn't belong to Eve, does it? Did you get it from some otherworldly civilization? But the Sage's Tower strictly forbids communication with otherworldly civilizations!"

"You know that's just a rule of the Sage's Tower."

Valensa shrugged nonchalantly and wore her white bodysuit over her black bodysuit.

"This clothing can indeed help us withstand extremely low temperatures, but it has very poor heat resistance. It will most likely be damaged once we use the Yangyan Divine Art... So once we reach the boundary line, we should not act rashly."

This is also why Valensa didn't take out this special cold-weather suit before—there are monsters on the ice plains, and it's difficult to completely avoid using the Sunfire Divine Art during battle.

This cold-weather suit was specially made by Valensa from Vie when she was preparing to explore the ice field. It is a tight-fitting cold-weather suit that allows you to swim in liquid nitrogen.

Of course, it would be certain death for an ordinary person to swim in liquid nitrogen while wearing such clothing.

But those at the Radiant Rank can.
