The story of the black silk female knight

Seeing that the attack was about to miss, the burly man showed no intention of changing his move or stopping, and slammed his halberd heavily into the spot where Valensa had been standing.

boom!

In an instant, the earth shook and the sky trembled within a hundred meters. Blazing flames erupted from the cracks in the ground like spewing magma, merging with the scattered shockwaves and destroying everything around them.

Having dodged the direct blow from the halberd, Valensa found it difficult to dodge the shockwaves and flames.

Valensa never considered hiding.

After dodging to the side, Valensa advanced instead of retreating, facing the oncoming shockwave and flames, even stepping on the strongest shockwave.

The flames within the shockwave weren't enough to break Valensa's defenses, and she also utilized the power of the shockwave itself... She leaped up, stepping on the shockwave, and instantly arrived above the burly man. The longsword in her hand transformed into an incomparably sharp moonlight, and she slashed down.

Having just launched a powerful attack, the burly man had no chance to dodge or retaliate. He could only hold his halberd horizontally in front of him to block, causing the two Noble Phantasms to collide.

Boom!

An even stronger shockwave erupted from the point where the swords clashed, completely obliterating the nearby ancient Eve civilization-style ruins.

That halberd truly lived up to its reputation as the strongman's treasured weapon, as it parried Moon Kiss's charged sword strike from mid-air with almost no damage.

The burly man wielding the halberd was forced back a few steps by the force of the sword strike, but Valensa was also thrown back by the reaction force and unable to continue the pursuit.

This first round of matches appears to have ended in a draw.

However, the halberd was the strongman's treasure, while the Moon Kiss was not Valensa's treasure.

Rikka is the one.

As the Moon Kiss slashed down from mid-air, Rikka had already circled behind the burly man, seizing the opportunity just as he parried the sword strike, and unleashed a barrage of Sunfire Rays.

BIU! BIU! BIU! BIU! BIU! BIU!

This time, the burly man had no chance to defend himself. He was hit directly in the back, and his body, which had been dead for many years, was burned by the scorching sun rays.

Divine spells inherently have an attribute advantage against undead, and the high temperature and penetrating power of the Sunfire Rays are among the strongest of the Radiant-rank spells... A direct hit from six Sunfire Rays should at least severely injure a Radiant-rank undead.

The strong man's back was instantly burned with six large holes, but it was not burned through as Valensa had imagined.

Not only that, the burly man also absorbed a lot of the heat from the Yangyan Ray, causing his entire body to glow with fire and turn even redder, as if the BOSS had entered a berserk state.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

With a hoarse roar, the burly man once again swung the halberd, repeatedly smashing it against the already horribly mangled floor in front of him.

Each strike generates a powerful fire-attribute shockwave, sweeping towards Valenza with overwhelming force, wave after wave, relentlessly.

Valensa only managed to dodge three shockwaves before discovering that the fire-attribute shockwaves had completely covered the surrounding area for hundreds of meters, leaving no way to avoid them.

Moreover, these shockwaves are like endless ocean waves, and the likely outcome of trying to block or withstand them is that once the defense reaches its limit, it will be broken through head-on and then overwhelmed.

Even if Valensa could block it, it wouldn't be worth it... This kind of energy-confrontation defense consumes more energy than attack, and she didn't want to waste too much of her precious power on the strong man.

So Valensa charged forward into the shockwave once again, stepping onto it and using the immense force to propel herself high into the air.

The murderous intent that had been lurking in the shadows seemed to have been waiting for this moment.

In an instant, a dazzling display of light appeared as hundreds of flying swords transformed into a rainbow piercing the sun, shooting towards Valensa from different angles around her.

There is no way to avoid it.

Then there's no need to dodge.

The holy light that had been secretly accumulating erupted instantly, transforming into an indestructible shield that firmly protected Valensa in mid-air.

Divine Shield.

Hundreds of flying swords continuously struck the Holy Light Shield, creating a sound like rain hitting glass, and quickly cracked the shield.

While the Holy Shield spell boasts unparalleled defensive power among all defensive spells, it ultimately has its limits. Faced with the combined attack of hundreds of flying swords, it cannot withstand the onslaught for long.

So while activating Divine Shield, Valensa also activated another ability... an ability she hadn't used in a very, very long time.

The divine runes, the Third Law.

The attacker must also bear the force of the attack that the flying sword inflicts on Valensa.

Unfortunately, the divine power runes are just divine power runes, not true divine power, so they cannot return all the attacks from the flying swords; they can only return a very small number of them.

This is also why Valensa rarely used the divine runes after she reached a certain level of power.

In battles between strong individuals, the offensives are mostly like endless waves, and one can only return a few of them, which is of little significance.

That kind of powerful strike that can decide the outcome of a battle can indeed be very effective when returned, but Valensa still has to take that strike first, which is equivalent to exchanging injury for injury and seeing who has more health.

This is also not very meaningful... because as Valencia continues to grow stronger, many of her enemies are already killed by her sword before she even has to risk her life to fight back.

Until now.

The attacker who secretly controlled the flying sword was indeed quite skilled. Even after making the move, he was able to perfectly conceal his figure and position, so that Valensa could only vaguely sense the killing intent but could not lock onto it.

Valensa was then forced to use the power of the divine runes—don't be fooled by the hundreds of flying swords attacking this time; the power of a single flying sword is not to be underestimated. Even a Radiant-rank expert would be seriously injured if caught off guard by a single sword strike.

Can the one who wields the flying sword continue to hide after enduring the power of such an attack?

Of course not, but she wasn't as hurt as Valensa had imagined.

Not far above the burly man, sparks suddenly began to flash in mid-air, accompanied by the sound of clashing swords. It seemed as if two sword masters were engaged in a hidden duel. In reality, it was the attack power of the flying swords returned by the divine runes that was being defended by new flying swords.

But the one who was piloting the flying sword was finally forced out of hiding.

It was a petite figure with the same appearance as someone from the Eastern Continent, but the style of her long dress was completely different from the armor worn by the burly man. She was probably not from the Chu Shang Kingdom.

But Valensa was quite familiar with that long dress... Almost all the female sword cultivators in the Sword Pavilion liked to wear this kind of long dress.

This petite woman is a member of the Sword Pavilion and also an undead. She and the burly man guard the entrance to the central building of this ruin and will attack any intruders without hesitation.

Even though she was forced out of her stealth state by the power of the divine runes, she was still manipulating hundreds of flying swords to launch a fierce attack on Valensa. There were also more than a dozen flying swords circling around her for defense. The effect of the divine runes had just been blocked by these defensive flying swords.

To break the ambush of hundreds of flying swords by defeating the attackers, divine runes alone are far from enough.

So Nana, who had also been hiding herself and waiting for her chance, finally made her move, flying to the side of the petite female undead and delivering a punch.

Boom!

Two of the protective flying swords were shattered into multiple pieces of iron by Nana's punch, and five other protective flying swords were severely deformed. The swordsman was even sent flying like a ball.

Nana's punch was still blocked, and the damage and impact on the swordswoman were still not enough to stop her from controlling the hundreds of flying swords to continue her fierce attack on Valensa.

Click.

With the sound of the shield shattering, the Holy Shield spell finally reached its maximum defense, turning into specks of holy light and dissipating around Valensa.

The burly man on the ground, of course, wouldn't just stand by and watch. He had already made a new move when Valensa forced the swordsman out.

The halberd was thrown upwards, flying to a stop diagonally above Valensa. Then the burly man jumped up again, grasped the halberd in his hand, and his red light and heat reached their peak. He then made a gesture as if he was about to throw the halberd at Valensa.

Without a doubt, what follows will be the strongman's all-out attack.

First, he was ambushed by the swordsman who blocked his movement with hundreds of flying swords and broke through his defenses. Then, he was hit by the powerful man's charged flaming halberd. Even a true Moon Radiance expert would most likely be defeated.

"What a beautiful teamwork."

Even Valensa was genuinely impressed by the attack from the burly man and the petite swordswoman, and at the same time, she sighed helplessly and prepared to use her trump card.

If Valensa were to be hit by the charged flaming spear, even if she didn't die, she would most likely be severely injured and unable to continue. That wouldn't do.

A surge of chaotic divine power began to condense within Valensa's body, ready to transform into an abyss capable of devouring everything, consuming all the hundreds of flying swords that were still attacking her, and launching an attack on the burly man before the charged flaming halberd could be thrown.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Great Witch Friede, who had been slacking off in Valensa's shadow, only providing technical support and never participating in the battle, actually made her move.

Snapped.

With a crisp snap of her fingers, the hundreds of flying swords that were besieging Valensa all broke free from the petite swordswoman's control. They stopped attacking Valensa and instead gathered in front of her, forming a giant sword ball that crashed into the burly man and his flaming halberd.

At this moment, the burly man's flaming halberd was still not at its maximum power, but he had to throw it out prematurely, and it collided fiercely with the sword ball.

boom!

Amidst the deafening roar, the power of the charged Flame Halberd was ultimately stronger, directly smashing and shattering all the flying swords blocking its path. Those that didn't break were scattered like fragments, and its power remained almost undiminished as it continued to shoot towards Valensa.

However, without the hundreds of flying swords blocking her movement and suppressing her, Valensa wouldn't foolishly stay in one place and take the Flame Halberd head-on.

The flaming spear was thrown very fast, but Valensa was even faster.

Ceremonial Armor: Dark Thunder Armor.

With a crackling sound, dark purple lightning surrounded Valensa, propelling her speed to over Mach 10 for a brief moment, allowing her to evade the charged fire halberd.

"You'll continue to handle that man who wields the halberd."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Friggia smiled and waved to Valensa, but her eyes were fixed on the petite swordswoman being chased by Nana:

"Sister, I'm a bit interested in that swordswoman. I'm planning to take her back as research material. I'll take care of it for you."

"Row."

Valensa agreed without hesitation.

Although she had never seen Friggia make a move, the Great Witch who was once closest to the true god should be able to easily defeat a female undead from the Sword Pavilion.

After all, Friggia had just snapped her fingers and forcibly seized control of those hundreds of flying swords... Valensa couldn't imagine how Friggia could lose.

So Nana, who was chasing the petite swordsman and constantly destroying its defensive flying swords, also abandoned the pursuit without hesitation, turned around and left, and began to besiege the burly man with the Flame Halberd together with Valensa.

I thought we could finish this quickly, but the burly man with the Flame Halberd was unexpectedly tenacious.

This burly man was likely a powerful figure from the Yang Sect within the Holy Gate of the Tianxuan Continent during his lifetime. He wielded power based on flames and masculine energy, which in some ways could be considered similar to the Yang Flame Divine Power... This explains why he was able to withstand six Yang Flame Rays almost unscathed, and even absorb some of the power from the Yang Flame Rays, converting it into a fire-attribute shockwave to attack Valensa.

When Valensa does not use the power of the evil god, the powerful attacks that she can use are almost all centered around the Sunfire Divine Art.

Unfortunately, the strong man had a high resistance to the Yangyan Divine Art, thwarting Valensa's plan for a quick victory.

Without hesitation, Valensa immediately transformed herself into the form of a demon god, since there was no one else around.

In her evil god form, Valensa was completely unafraid of the flames and shockwaves unleashed by the strong man; even a flaming halberd thrown with full power would be devoured.

At least that's what Valensa herself thought... so after entering her evil god state, she no longer dodged the flames and shockwaves unleashed by the burly man's flaming halberd, and directly absorbed them.

The flames and shockwaves did not harm Valensa, but she soon realized that something was wrong with her.

The burly man's attack, which appeared to be just flames and air currents, was not a purely physical attack; it could even affect the mind.

To be precise, it can ignite a fire in the heart.

After enduring several waves of fiery spear attacks from the burly man, Valensa clearly felt her body begin to urge, and she wanted to give up the fight and immediately take Nana or Friedeja to bed, or destroy everything in this ruin.

The two desires were equally powerful, and together they assaulted Valensa's reason, making her almost unsteady on her feet for a moment.

The burly man's attack did not cause any damage to Valensa in her evil god form, but it did put her into a state of arousal and irritability!

Valensa no longer dared to rely on her God Mode to withstand the strong man's attacks, and quickly withdrew her Chaos God Power, using Holy Light God Power to purify herself and recover from the abnormal state.

Afterwards, Valensa stared calmly at the undead giant, but she was still somewhat annoyed.

Valensa had previously heard the doll-like girl Yi Qiuya say that the Holy Gate was actually the Demonic Gate, especially when the men of the Yang Sect were all scum and womanizers. She thought it might be an exaggeration.

But now I don't feel it at all.

The secret technique of the Yang Sect of the Demonic Path is indeed quite capable; it can actually turn even evil gods into a state of arousal in just a few moves... How could a human woman possibly withstand that?

Chapter 57 Defeating a Powerful Enemy

The blazing halberd whistled through the air, each strike generating flames and shockwaves that surged one after another like endless ocean waves, its offensive as powerful as a raging torrent.

Amidst the fiery waves, a female knight in silver armor and black stockings, clad in dark purple lightning as her battle robes, leaped and bounded at incredible speed, dancing on the crests of the waves and weaving through the crevices.

Every now and then, sword light would burst forth, or rays of light would be shot out, attacking the undead strongmen who were constantly stirring up waves of fire with the force of cutting through water and breaking through the air.

The undead giant neither dodged nor evaded; his body, scorched by flames for so long, turned golden, and he received all the sword light and rays, even absorbing some of the energy and converting it into his own attack.

Valensa found herself in a tough battle she hadn't anticipated.

This undead strongman was definitely at the Moon-level in his lifetime, but not at the peak of the Moon-level, and was still somewhat inferior to the Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts.

Death will make this gap even wider... High-ranking undead can indeed retain their strength from when they were alive, but not all of it, and the racial characteristics of undead are further countered by holy light magic.

So even though Valensa had long realized that the undead giant was a Moon God in his previous life, she still didn't take it too seriously, thinking that she could quickly finish the battle as long as she used her trump card.

I didn't expect to miscalculate.

It wasn't that the undead strongman was unexpectedly powerful, but rather that the two sides were incompatible.

The layer of masculine fire enveloping the undead giant's body can greatly reduce the damage it receives from divine magic, and can even absorb some of the divine magic energy and make it its own.

Moreover, its body is as hard as diamond, and when it collides with a sharp sword blade, it only sparks fly, making it no less strong than Nana.

This makes it difficult for Valensa's current attack methods to inflict effective damage on it; both magical and physical attacks are barely effective.
