Collapse, Cross-Dressing Strategy Kiana, Then Chapter 41

The fierce wind howled, vegetation was reaped as if by a scythe, and gradually uprooted.

"Who are you? Why did you join World Serpent?"

During a lull in their frenzied exchange, Durandal couldn't help but ask.

Her opponent was so powerful, actually fighting her to a standstill.

"Hmm... you can just call me Feather Rabbit. But joining World Serpent was my own idea."

"Is that so? It seems we can't reach a consensus!"

Durandal suddenly increased her strength, her entire body's power surging into Black Abyss White Flower like an overwhelming tide. Her attacks were continuous, giving her opponent no chance to breathe.

The two continued to fight with all their might, as if they could fight forever, showing no signs of weakening.

"Holy Lance, Bloom!"

Suddenly, Durandal activated her first rated power, attempting to shatter her opponent's weapon.

The next moment, the purple long spear in Feather Rabbit's hand dissipated like snowflakes, vanishing without a trace.

"Eek! How scary!"

However, there was no surprise in her tone.

Durandal pressed her advantage, and Feather Rabbit could only retreat desperately.

The two chased each other through the forest. After a while, Feather Rabbit suddenly raised both hands.

With a flash of purple light, a banner suddenly appeared.

In an instant, four humanoid figures blocked in front of her, attacking Durandal in unison as if they were one.

Durandal was startled, her movements slightly pausing. She shifted her target and engaged the four strange humanoid figures in a chaotic battle.

They were Archetypes from Stigmata Space.

But soon, the four Archetypes were no match for her, and were all pierced by Black Abyss White Flower before disappearing.

Seeing this, Feather Rabbit joined the fray and summoned again, making it five against one.

Durandal felt the pressure and fought with all her might against five opponents, once again turning the tide.

One summoned constructs, while the other unleashed the power of Divine Keys. The battle level rose again, the aftermath of their clashes shaking heaven and earth, making it difficult for others to intervene and forcing living beings to retreat.

Durandal's stamina seemed bottomless. As time passed, the intensity of her attacks showed no sign of weakening.

However, while Feather Rabbit found the situation extremely troublesome, Durandal was also extremely surprised to see her opponent's injuries always recovering.

"She's really tough!"

"She's really strong!"

The two clashed with all their might, completely forgetting the concept of time.

With extreme power and extreme vitality, an hour passed in their fierce battle, and neither showed any intention of stopping.

The surrounding land was barren, all life wiped out by the aftermath of the battle. Even the loaches in the soil were scared out of the ground, wriggling as they fled.

At this moment, Jackal arrived. Seeing the scene before her, she was speechless for a long time.

"Is this Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie..."

She stayed at a considerable distance from the periphery, not daring to approach easily, and immediately began to prepare in a hurry.

"I went to feign an attack on the Far East back then, and Gray Serpent was responsible for seizing Thousand Worlds One Step. I didn't expect that without this Divine Key today, our plan would have mostly fallen apart."

"Activate Thousand Worlds One Step and trap that Durandal!"

Her subordinates acted accordingly. Invisible ripples appeared in the void, gradually unveiling the curtain of authority.

Durandal continued her offense, determined to probe the limits of her opponent's recovery. If not, she would strike a blow that would push her to an irreparable critical point!

Holy Lance, Bloom!

Holy Lance, Bloom!

Holy Lance, Bloom!

Black Abyss White Flower shone brightly, and multiple destructive forces impacted Feather Rabbit through the barriers of the Archetypes and her spear.

Her body was decomposed, and terrible damage spread in an instant.

However, the spread was halted midway, and after a few more breaths, it began to recover.

Durandal, however, saw the problem and rallied her spirits to continue her ultimate attack.

Because she discovered that her opponent's recovery efficiency was constantly decreasing!

Jackal, watching from afar, was thrilled and her legs couldn't stop trembling.

"Feather Rabbit was strengthened so many times by that person, yet she still can't gain the upper hand against this Durandal?!"

She quickly urged her subordinates to act.

Finally, just as Feather Rabbit began to show signs of defeat, Jackal's preparations were complete.

"This is all we can do. If we try to load any more, it will be too late."

"We might even be discovered by that Durandal."

"That's it! Activate!"

A fluctuation in spatial power suddenly erupted!

Durandal was completely focused on victory and didn't notice this subtle change.

The next moment.

The Valkyrie attacking with full force vanished from her spot as if deleted.

Feather Rabbit stopped, letting out a long breath.

"I almost got beaten to death, that was scary."

Jackal walked over in silence.

Feather Rabbit grinned at her, "Thank goodness you're here, I really didn't know what I would have done otherwise."

"I can only trap her temporarily. She'll break out of it soon... Durandal is truly a terrifying opponent."

"She is indeed very strong—what about Gray Serpent? And the children Cocolia took?"

"I'm contacting them."

While waiting, two people were drawn by the recent combat fluctuations.

Rita and Bai Yan.

Feather Rabbit immediately turned her gaze to Bai Yan, "You seem different somehow."

"Your appearance is certainly quite different."

Bai Yan sized up Feather Rabbit. She was currently disheveled, her black robe tattered, with glimpses of her skin showing.

The two sides faced off.

Judging by the surroundings, the battle here had lasted for quite some time, but Bai Yan couldn't understand how Feather Rabbit had managed to hold out for so long.

He glanced at Rita.

Although Rita was pretending nothing was wrong, Bai Yan knew she had reached her limit.

So Bai Yan seized the opportunity to lean in and whisper to Rita.

"Sister Rita, can I borrow your earrings for a moment?"

"Hm? Why?" Rita's gaze remained on Feather Rabbit, but her attention was diverted to Bai Yan.

"No time to explain, but I just have a feeling that if I wear Sister Rita's earrings, I'll be filled with power!"

"Hm?"

Volume 1: Chapter 51: Escape!

As soon as Bai Yan said that, Rita was utterly confused.

"Xiao Yan, are you serious?"

Rita found it hard to believe her usually reliable assistant was suddenly saying something like this, as if the world had gone mad.

"I'm serious."

"Alright."

This was the benefit of dealing with intelligent people; she wouldn't ask why, only whether the person in front of her was trustworthy.

Without a sound, she quickly removed her earrings and handed them over.

"What exactly is your objective? Is it Raiden Mei?" Rita continued to question.

She was already convinced the gap in strength was too great and could only stall for time while looking for an escape route.

Bai Yan put on the earrings, and instantly, power surged within him.

Not enough!

If Feather Rabbit could fight Durandal to this extent, even if he had become the Herrscher of Wind and could perform the Luoshen Transformation, he would still struggle to match her!

Even if Rita were in perfect condition, their side's combat power was still insufficient.

At most, he could only hold off Feather Rabbit for a moment!

What should he do?

Bishop, please take a look at your most capable employee!

Save me, I swear that from now on, there will only be one sun in the sky, and that sun will be you, Bishop!

Bai Yan prayed in his heart, his gaze falling on Jackal.

Got it!

Hold on, you lucky dog.

Jackal scoffed, "To not understand our plan even at this point, Otto is nothing special."

Rita also sensed the disparity in strength and deeply regretted bringing Bai Yan here, but she had no good solution for breaking through the impasse.

"K423 is in our hands, but having a few more captives isn't a bad thing. They can serve as material..." Jackal said playfully.

Upon hearing this, Rita tightened her grip on her scythe and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Little Yan, you run first and get reinforcements—"

Jackal continued, "What other cards does Otto have up his sleeve? Truly—"

Just then, Bai Yan shot towards Jackal like an arrow released from a bow.

Shocked, Jackal simultaneously waved her hand, and over a dozen Death Weavers swarmed forward to block Bai Yan's path.

A fierce gust of wind roared to life, and Bai Yan's path of advance suddenly ascended, the entire person flying over and heading straight for Jackal.

With nowhere left to retreat and nothing to block with, Jackal could only stand there, stunned.

Clang!

Feather Rabbit arrived to assist, placing her spear horizontally between the two.

Bai Yan immediately stopped, stepping back on the wind and retreating to Rita's side.

"You almost succeeded. That was close."

Bai Yan looked at Feather Rabbit and asked, "I don't understand, why do all of you from World Serpent cover your faces? Are you too ugly to be seen?"

"Should I reveal my face to prove myself? But I'm sorry, I can't do that right now.

"Oh, right, I wanted to ask about someone."

"Stop asking."

"Hey, why? I just wanted to ask, isn't your brother named Bai Yan? How has he been recently?"

Bai Yan immediately became alert.

Not a single person from the intelligence department knew about this mission he was undertaking. Ragna knew, but it was impossible for him to have leaked it.
