Chen Luo: Durandal, Go Easy on Me... (Continued)

"Since the Heavenly Fire Saint is a dual-wielder, but transforms into a greatsword that can be used with one hand, why not just make him lose his hand completely? So use that blade under your feet to cut off Siegfried's other arm, and I'll leave immediately. Otherwise, I can't guarantee Kiana's safety," Welt said menacingly.

"I mean what I say. To show my sincerity, I will send Kiana to the middle. As long as you cut off Siegfried's arm, you can immediately rescue her, and I will run away immediately."

With his ability to manipulate gravity, Welt would indeed be very difficult to catch if he wanted to escape.

Because he can both slow down the opponent and increase his own speed.

Besides, neither of the two opponents has their Divine Key, so what's there to be afraid of?

"..." Durandal stared silently at the sharp blade beneath her feet.

While Durandal remained silent, Kiana, who was floating next to Welt, slowly drifted to the center of the three of them, just as Welt had predicted.

"Of course, Siegfried, if you're willing to sacrifice one of your daughter's arms, that's fine too. I don't mind. Because, you see, I love seeing Father-Daughter fight each other," Welt shouted with no small amount of malice.

At the same time, a cold light flashed again. It was another blade, the same type as the one in Durandal's hand. This time, it didn't pierce Siegfried's foot, but instead landed firmly on the tree next to him.

Understanding the malice in Welt's voice Durandal slowly bent down and picked up the sharp blade at her feet.

Durandal looked at Siegfried's only remaining right arm, then shifted her gaze to her own left arm.

Even with only one arm, one can become a qualified soldier through training, but what if both arms are gone...?

Moreover, if the severed arm is reattached in time, it might be able to return to its original state.

"Durandal! No... Kiana!" Just as Durandal's heart was beginning to tip in her favor, Siegfried suddenly shouted.

"..." Upon hearing this, Durandal couldn't help but look at Siegfried.

Then Durandal saw Siegfried with his arm already resting on the Sodium Propionate Blade.

"Kiana, listen to me. It's my responsibility not to take good care of you, and it's also my responsibility not to take good care of your sister. You are a warrior just as excellent as your mother, so your future is brighter than this old man's. Having lost an arm, I can no longer be considered a qualified warrior, so losing another arm is no big deal."

"I lost my left arm because of Kiana. This time, I lost it because of you and your sister, so it's fair. I hope you can protect your sister in the future and not hold a grudge against her for my negligence over the years."

"!!!" Siegfried didn't make a sound as he slammed his right arm down hard on the blade of the sharp weapon nailed to the tree.

Blood splattered.

"!!!"

Because Siegfried used too much force, and the blade was stuck between Durandal and Siegfried, Durandal felt some warm liquid splash on her face.

"Wow, what a great fatherly love," Welt said sarcastically from the side.

"Dad..." Durandal touched her face, looked at the bloodstains on her hand, and turned to look at Welt.

"Walter!" Durandal looked at Welt with an unprecedentedly strong killing intent.

"Damn it, the killing intent is too strong, the illusion is about to break! Damn it, Welt, you're really good at taunting. Sure enough, without me, you would have died 800 times over!" A familiar curse came from the depths.

"Smack!"

As if the sound of shattering glass rang out, the thoughts that had been veiled in a thin gauze instantly became clear.

Coming to her Durandal quickly looked to the side and saw Durandal just as before, but this time Siegfried's right arm was not broken.

Looking down at his hands, he saw no sharp blade.

Turning his head to look in Kiana's direction, he found that she was still floating in the air, but there was no sharp blade around her neck.

So, naturally, Welt... Welt still looks like he deserves a beating.

Looking in the direction from which the familiar curses had come, Durandal saw Chen Luo holding the Heavenly Fire in his hands and carrying the Black Abyss White Flower in his arms, with a Red-haired Twin-tails hanging up beside him.

"Chen Luo?" Durandal looked at Chen Luo with a puzzled expression.

"Chen Luo!" As the feeling of confusion disappeared, Durandal understood almost instantly what had happened.

"What... what's going on?" Siegfried rubbed his temples with his only remaining hand, looking bewildered.

"Chen Luo! I'll give you three seconds! Give me an explanation!" Durandal walked towards Chen Luo expressionlessly, but her clenched fists cracked loudly.

"Durandal, you, you don't come any closer! I have a hostage!" Chen Luo said, pointing at Kiana who was floating nearby, as he hurriedly stood up and put away his potato chips and cola.

"Oh? Hostages, is that right?" Durandal raised an eyebrow.

"I'm telling you, I really can lose my temper."

"Oh? You're throwing a tantrum, are you?" Durandal continued to approach.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Chen Luo stood up and apologized with a bitter face.

"But listen to me, according to the script, you were supposed to kill that idiot Welt, and then you would use the Black Abyss White Flower to heal Siegfried's arm. It was supposed to be a happy ending."

However... Chen Luo underestimated Durandal's mental resilience.

The illusion created by Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge can not only trap people in an illusion, but also has a certain intelligence-reducing aura, suppressing the other party's mental activity.

So Durandal and Siegfried didn't even consider using any other method to save Kiana.

However... Chen Luo didn't seem to have considered how high Durandal's mental limit was after she got angry.

As Durandal drew closer, Chen Luo a little, but he couldn't run, at least not now.

If they run away, who knows how badly Durandal will beat them up afterwards?

Durandal, listen to me, the script really isn't like that.

But... as expected, something unexpected always happens. Just when Chen Luo thought he was about to get beaten up, Durandal suddenly hugged Chen Luo from the front.

"Sigh, Durandal, aren't you angry?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment.

"Of course I'm angry," said Durandal, hugging Chen Luo.

"Then why are you still holding me?" Feeling the soft embrace in his arms, Chen Luo was somewhat incredulous.

"That's because if I don't hold you... what if you run away when I'm beating you up?" Durandal paused for a moment and then revealed the truth.

"!!!"

Herrscher of the Heart the most poisonous!

After speaking, Durandal raised her knee and delivered a knee strike to Chen Luo's stomach, who was in her arms.

Normally, grabbing the opponent and kneeing them would be foolproof, but this time Durandal missed her target.

When Chen Luo reappeared, he was already four or five meters away.

"Um, I have a date with Mei, so I'll be going now." After exiting the Void Stealth, Chen Luo used the Teleport Anchor immediately after saying this.

I'm outta here, or I'll really get beaten up.

Getting a free hug is so great!

"Phew, thank goodness, Kiana is alright."

Upon hearing this voice, Durandal turned her head and saw Siegfried gently lifting Kiana out of the gravity sphere.

"Thank you, Durandal. Although I don't understand what happened, that must have been an illusion, right? Sigh, I knew it. Kiana isn't nearly as smart as you. Little Kiana was clumsy and silly... completely different from you now." Siegfried said somewhat awkwardly when he saw Durandal looking at him.

Although Siegfried now felt that what had just happened was just an illusion, Siegfried did feel a little embarrassed about how passionate and emotional he had been.

"..."

Who are you calling dull and stupid?

"So, next, it's time to deal with him, right?" Siegfried's sharp, hawk-like eyes turned to Welt.

Durandal had just pulled out her Black Abyss White Flower, also looked at Welt.

The Welt in that illusion was definitely asking for a beating.

"Wait, I surrender! I'm a good man! I'm an ally!" Upon seeing Waite immediately covered his head and crouched down in defense, completely giving up any resistance.

"You think I'll believe you just because you say so?" Siegfried said unhappily as he took the dual pistols that Durandal threw at him.

"You're Cocolia's subordinate, how could you possibly be a good person?" Siegfried said, his tone completely prejudiced.

"Look at what you're saying. According to your logic, shouldn't none of the Valkyrie under Otto's command be good people?" Waite retorted.

Siegfried was speechless for a moment.

Holy crap, what this person said makes a lot of sense.

"Actually... I am the Thousand-Man Herrscher, the puppet of the person who ran away just now." To save his life, Welt had no choice but to reveal this secret.

"Thousand-Man Herrscher?" Siegfried frowned upon hearing this term.

"The Thousand-Man Herrscher..." Durandal suddenly had a realization.

If Durandal remembers correctly, Chen Luo was Thousand-Man Herrscher.

"The Thousand-Man Herrscher is actually composed of 1,000 Herrscher. The main one is naturally the one who just ran away, and I am his puppet. When the Thousand-Man Herrscher is born, it comes with 1,000 puppets, and I am one of them. I used to be a bad guy, but now I'm a good guy," Welt said, distorting the facts.

"Besides, I didn't do anything when I was the bad guy; I was just cloned. So I can't really be considered a bad guy. Although what happened just now was indeed an illusion, Cocolia did send me here to ambush you."

Welt directly distorted the true abilities of the Thousand-Man Herrscher. Originally, Chen Luo could choose any person to become a puppet, but Welt described it as being generated randomly.

In fact, Chen Luo only said that he had become Thousand-Man Herrscher, but only Chen Luo himself knew the true situation of the Thousand-Man Herrscher, oh, and perhaps add a Herrscher of Knowledge.

The others only had a superficial understanding of Chen Luo's power as Thousand-Man Herrscher.

Chen Luo did this out of desperation, because no one wants to be on friendly terms with someone who might turn them into a puppet at any time.

Even if there are any, they are very few.

For the sake of his future business, Chen Luo had no choice but to tell a lie that wasn't too big or too small.

As for why Cocolia wasn't exonerated as well...

Sorry, because Cocolia can't be redeemed at all.

LOL, even if you wash it with concentrated sulfuric acid, you still can't get Cocolia white.

Cocolia is one of the Thousand-Man Herrscher. If people knew that, it would definitely be a negative buff.

How Cocolia? Can you say that Cocolia wasn't the one who triggered the Third Honkai Outbreak, causing the deaths of millions of people?

No matter what other crimes she committed, this one alone is enough to clear her name.

Besides, Chen Luo wasn't familiar with Siegfried, so naturally he couldn't tell him the inside story.

Cocolia should just continue playing the villain.

Welt can indeed be exonerated.

Welt has done nothing since birth, and this is the first time he has appeared in public, and he's doing something good.

Cocolia? Who's that? Don't know her?

"I can testify to that," said Durandal, stepping forward as Siegfried still seemed somewhat skeptical.

"I see..." Siegfried didn't say anything about distrust, after all, they had just fought side by side.

Moreover, when Siegfried took Kiana out of the gravity ball, Welt really didn't do anything and just stood there obediently.

"Ugh ugh ugh!" Dr. Tesla, who had been ignored and hanging there, swayed his body.

After glancing at her, Durandal used the Black Abyss White Flower to slice through her body, severing all the ropes.

Chen Luo, that guy, really has a twisted sense of humor when it comes to kidnapping people.

"Sigh, if only Durandal were Kiana, but unfortunately, little Kiana is very well-behaved, but she's also a bit silly, clumsy, often loud and boisterous, and a little vain..." Siegfried sighed as he looked at Durandal.

If you think about it, Cecilia is the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, Durandal is also the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal. If this is true, then it's a case of the daughter inheriting her mother's profession.

"Beep beep beep!" Just then, Siegfried's communicator rang.

"Hmm, it's Einstein's the Doctor. So, have you found out who the real Kiana is?" Siegfried asked after the call connected.

"Huh? Siegfried, what's wrong? Didn't I already tell you that the real Kiana is Durandal? I called you to ask if you've retreated and if you've seen Dr. Tesla." Einstein frowned on the other end of the video call, as if he didn't understand why Siegfried was asking this.

"!!!"

Siegfried was dumbfounded.

Wait, holy crap, wasn't that illusion just now a complete illusion?

Siegfried felt his neck stiff as a rusty gear, but he had to face reality, so he slowly turned his head to look in Durandal's direction.

"Dull-witted, clumsy, and loud... Mr. Siegfried, is this how you would describe your own daughter?" Durandal asked coldly.

"Yu... Kiana, let me explain..."

Mr. Siegfried has been completely ruined.
