Knight VS Knight (Part 2)

The spinning drill bit collided violently with the Hler's Ataraxia. Judging from the fact that the Drill Crusher could withstand a five-star weapon, the quality of Tesla's products is indeed very good. The last driver explosion was really just an accident.

The Phantom Spirit swung its greatsword down, but fortunately, it switched its tank to a diamond with better defensive capabilities and raised its crystal-clear blue left arm to take the hit.

Durandal mustered her strength and swung her lance in a sweeping motion, knocking the knight back several meters. However, as the knight flew backward, her red left foot suddenly exerted force, unleashing the leaping power of a rabbit. The knight was sent flying back like a cannonball, inserting the chain- Fullbottles into the Drill Crusher along the way and launching an attack.

"Ready GO! Vortex Break!"

Energy-like chains wrapped around the drill bit's surface. Sachi swung her weapon, and golden chains extended from the drill bit, quickly binding the Knight Princess and the two Phantom Spirit beside her. Sachi seized the opportunity to punch her, sending her flying.

(Don't ask me why Build, in its basic form, could fight Durandal to such an extent. Putting aside the fact that the Kamen Rider's stats are already outrageous, the user here is not human, okay?)

Durandal quickly broke free of the restraints. After all, it was only a portion of the energy extracted from Judah, and it was already quite good that it could barely restrain her for a while.

"Awaken, defenders of glory!" The Knight Princess brandished her lance, activating her Burst Mode, and her aura surged.

"Gorilla! Diamond! Best Match! Are you ready?"

"Build up!"

"The Shining Destroyer! Gorilla Diamond! Yeah!"

Facing Durandal's all-out effort, Yu dared not be careless and decisively unleashed the most destructive weapon at present God-Slaying Gorilla Diamond. Don't underestimate this basic form; Katsuragi Takumi used it to destroy a god back then!

Fortunately, he quickly pulled the joystick and unleashed his special attack.

"Ready Go! Vortex Finsh!"

A torrent of diamond crystals surged toward Durandal, only to be dispersed by two Phantom Spirit. The knight raised his fist and swung it with all his might, colliding with the Knight Princess's lance.

Boom!

The shockwave swept across the battlefield, sending Otto and Raven flying. After regaining their footing, the two looked at the scene. Durandal clutched her right hand, trembling slightly, blood seeping through her Influenza A. The Hler's Ataraxia lay beside her. Not far away, the fox-eared boy, having deactivated his transformation, lay on the ground, his clothes tattered. Clearly, he had been the loser in the previous exchange.

"Cough cough, I must say, as expected of Durandal? Her initial build is no match for her. At least Bubble Rabbit Tank or Hazard Rabbit Tank would be needed to defeat her." Sachi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and struggled to her feet.

"Little guy, just how tough are you..." Raven recalled how he fought Raven in Yae Village until he was exhausted in his third form, and how he was severely injured by Crimson Prison Beast but still managed to unleash his ultimate attack and finish him off. He had just taken a punch from Durandal with his bare body and was completely unharmed. Although he was a bit disheveled now, he didn't seem to be in any serious condition.

"You are strong, but this is where it ends." Durandal drew her lance and pointed it at the defeated Xing.

"That's it? I still have some trump cards up my sleeve~" Xing chuckled, taking out two full bottles, one red and one black. "Come on, round two!"

"Phoenix! Robot! Best Match! Are you ready?"

"Transform!"

"Undying Weapon! The Phoenix Robot! Yeah!"

Flames erupted from the knight's body, and two illusory wings unfurled behind him, carrying him low into the air towards Durandal.

"Ready Go! Vortexx Finsh!"

Faced with the overwhelming force of the attack, Durandal dared not be careless and charged forward head-on, starting a new round of competition.

Boom!

Flames swept across the entire battlefield, and after the smoke cleared, only a Clumsy Goose that had missed its target was left standing there dumbfounded, creating an awkward scene.

The straightforward, Clumsy Goose wanted to curse. She thought the other party wanted to have a physical fight with her, but instead, the other party took the opportunity to slip away.

"Don't fall into my hands, or I'll strip your tail bald!" thought the indignant Clumsy Goose.

"Hey, where's Bishop Otto?"

Durandal looked around but didn't see her boss. Oh no! She hadn't brought her wallet with her when she went out, and Otto had paid for everything. What was she going to do about lunch?

The Clumsy Goose, who had just eaten, fell into deep thought.

——Divider——

"Little guy!"

Raven was practically going crazy as she touched Xing's fox ears. Why didn't she say so earlier that she wanted to run away? She had made Xing think that the other party was creating an explosion to confuse the area so that she could launch a surprise attack. She used the Zeroth Power of the Seven Thunders of Retribution to blast Otto's Soul Steel body into dust.

Damn, it takes forever to repair after just one use, and you have to write a really long report. You're doomed, little guy!

As for why we didn't blast the Clumsy Goose, that wretched little guy sensed the energy of the Seven Thunders of Retribution with his Honkai Vision and blocked the muzzle of the gun, so we couldn't attack!

Sachi, who used Manga Ninja to escape with Raven. "... Is it my fault?"

Explosive Raven, her face full of resentment, said, "What do you think?!" She increased the pressure on her hand, causing the other party to gasp in surprise.

"Hmm? Your ears seem quite sensitive?" Raven grinned mischievously at Sachi's blushing face and reached out to touch his tail.

"You can't do that!" Sachi tried desperately to stop her, but having just fought Raven and exhausted himself, he was no match for Durandal. He could only watch helplessly as the gray-haired older sister freely pinched and squeezed his tail and ears.

Ten minutes later, Sachi, who had turned into a limp puddle of mud, lay helplessly in Raven's arms. Seeing this, Raven withdrew his mischievous hands with satisfaction and rubbed his fingers together as if savoring the moment.

Hmm, something feels off...

"Alright, your clothes are so dirty. Let me take you back to take a bath and change into some clean clothes." Raven gently picked up the boy she had played with and carried him back to her temporary lodging as if she had found a stray kitten on the street.

She couldn't bring herself to be angry at this little guy with whom she had such a tragic relationship. When did things start like this?

In this situation, shouldn't she have packed the other party up and handed them over to the Jackal?

Who cares? I'll just quit. That's what Miss Natasha Siola, who had long planned to switch jobs from World Serpent, thought to herself.

Twenty minutes later—(Luckily, I washed it myself, so don't overthink it.)

Happiness, wrapped in a bath towel, came out of the bathroom with her two wet fox ears drooping down and her soaking wet tail hanging down. Raven took a hairdryer to dry her fur.

"It's like blow-drying the fur of your pet," Raven joked.

"I'm not a cat!"

"Okay, cute little fox~ By the way, you didn't come to London for sightseeing, did you? What did your scientist send you here for?" Stroking the soft fox ears, Raven couldn't resist taking a bite; it tasted good!

"It hurts! I need to help her with something, but I can't tell you what it is."

"That's really going too far, little guy. I've been so good to you. I should have just taken you to the Jackal." Raven said quietly.

"If you can't catch me, she'll keep sending you to capture me in order to get me, so wouldn't you get a bigger reward? Or you could pretend to hand me over to her, and then I could escape and you could catch me again, wouldn't you get an even bigger reward?"

"You're so naughty, little guy, but I like it~" Raven affectionately patted his head, hugged him in her arms, and smelled the fragrance of cherry blossoms. She couldn't help but sniff it, and her warm breath sprayed onto Sachi.

Having just lost his first kiss, Sachi couldn't help but shudder. Why did he always end up in such enviable situations? He was still young; he shouldn't be doing things like this!

He pushed the Raven. "Sister Natasha, thank you for your hospitality, but I have to go now, or Sakura will worry."

Raven's eyes sharpened. "Who's Sakura? I don't think you have any girlfriends named Sakura, do you?"

Oh no, I was a little dazed after taking a shower, and being hugged by a mature woman made my brain short-circuit, so I accidentally blurted it out.

"Um, she's mine..." Unconsciously recalling the scene from the night before last that he had selectively forgotten, Xing's face turned red again.

"Wait a minute, could it be that Pseudo-Herrscher from Yae Village?" Raven searched through Sachi's network of relationships in her mind, and finally, relying on her woman's intuition, she pointed to the Fox-Eared Miko whose name she did not yet know.

"Yes," Xing nodded, her face flushed.

"Little one, what is your relationship with her?" Raven asked tremblingly.

Judging from the little guy's reaction, it's definitely not just a simple friendship. Could it be?! No, he was shy when I hugged him just now, so it probably hasn't progressed to that stage yet.

"Of course, it's a much closer relationship than you." Suddenly, a voice full of anger rang in their ears. Yae Sakura, who had followed the scent all the way here, was so angry that she trembled all over. She gritted her teeth and looked at Raven, who was holding Sachi. Why was he only wrapped in a bath towel?

Yae Sakura pulled Sachi into her arms and demanded sharply, "What have you done to my Sachi?!"

I took a closer sniff. Thank goodness, I didn't smell like that woman, or she would have gone crazy.

"Sakura, didn't I tell you to stay there and protect the Doctor and the others?"

Sensing that Yae Sakura covered his mouth. "It's alright, I left Hiyokomaru behind. You don't need to explain, I understand. It must have been this despicable woman who took advantage of the situation to ambush you, injured you, and brought you back to train you into her personal playmate. I know this kind of plot from novels all too well. Don't worry, I'll kill her right now to avenge you!"

Lucky & Raven: "What novel are you reading?!"

Sachi pulled her hand away. "You've misunderstood, Sakura. Sister Natasha didn't have those kinds of thoughts."

The Raven thought to herself, no, she really had that thought. Wait a minute, what's the relationship between this fox and the little guy?

Sensing the Raven's hostile gaze, Yae Sakura smiled contemptuously, then lowered her head, her eyes widening in disbelief.

A long, thin thread stretched between their lips. Yae Sakura smiled smugly at Raven, but Raven didn't seem to care.

. exe has stopped responding.

"You seem to have misunderstood something. My feelings for the little guy are at most the feelings a mother has for her son. I don't care who the little guy marries and has children with." Raven waved his hand and turned to walk towards the living room. "If you want to do that, there's a bed in the room. Just don't play here."

"Oh, I see. I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you." The Miko regretfully hugged the dazed Sachi. "But even so, it doesn't matter. After all, Sachi's entire body is already imbued with my scent, and even her inner self has taken on my shape~"

P. S.: Sakura is telling the truth here.

The Miko picked up the boy and turned to leave. After they were gone, a series of crackling sounds came from inside the house.

"My little rascal! You wretched fox, you deserve to be torn to pieces! I should have saved the Seven Thunders of Retribution to kill you!"

Raven clutched her head, pacing back and forth in the room, then angrily rolled on the floor, sobbing and crying, her grief even surpassing that of when she lost her villa island.

After all, you can buy another island if you lose it, but if the little guy is gone, he's really gone.

As expected, none of the Herrscher are good people! Except for the little guy...
