Chapter 118
Kiana: "Go, Durandal! Beat that ice -Valkyrie cold face who stole Mei! Schicksal, never to be defeated!"
Durandal: "While I'd like to do the same, it wouldn't be an easy task for me to face Kevin with my current strength."
Kiana: "Huh? But you seemed pretty decisive when you went in."
In the scene just now, Durandal started fighting Kevin without saying a word as soon as they met, showing no fear whatsoever.
Perhaps this is the strongest spirit of Schicksal.
Durandal: "It's different. Back then, I didn't know Kevin's exact strength. According to you, he could crush Senior Su, who wielded three Divine Key, with the Fehu. I don't think I could do that."
As the Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, Durandal may be reckless, but she certainly has the right to be reckless.
However, she could still see the gap between herself and Kevin.
At least Durandal cannot guarantee that he can defeat Su, who wields the three Divine Key: Black Abyss White Flower, Star of Eden, and Thousand Worlds.
Sue: "Is it just my imagination? Why do I always feel like you guys are comparing Kevin to me whenever you mention him?"
He was wielding three Divine Key back then, yet Kevin still managed to beat him to the ground. Ever since everyone learned about this, it's been used to highlight Kevin's strength before comparing their combat power.
Su felt like she was about to become a unit of measurement.
Theresa: "Because Kevin is excessively strong, and we can't find a benchmark, we can only use you to estimate his fighting ability."
Elysia: "Su with her eyes closed, Su with her eyes open, and Su with her eyes open and holding three Divine Key."
Su: "..."
It has to be said that the current power imbalance in Chat Group is so extreme that some are struggling to survive while others are struggling to survive. Even Su herself feels that the different levels that Elysia has given are particularly effective.
[Q&A begins.]
[When Kevin and Durandal's battle was in full swing, who intervened and stopped them?]
[A: Kiana.]
[B: Jackal.]
[C: Raven.]
[D: Otto.]
Pardofelis: "Who's not afraid of death? When Boss Kevin was fighting someone, who would dare to run in and try to break it up?"
Isn't this person afraid of being ganged up on by both sides and beaten to a pulp?
Kiana: "It definitely wasn't me. When those two were fighting so fiercely, the aftershocks probably blew me away."
Theresa: "It takes skill to mediate a fight."
Especially in a battle between two big shots, if the person trying to mediate is not strong enough, they might not only fail to mediate, but could very well become cannon fodder in their fight.
Himeko Murata: "I know Raven, Mei mentioned it in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, but who is Jackal...? Is he strong?"
Durandal: "Whether he's strong or not is still uncertain, but the person who came to stop me from fighting Kevin... should be Bishop Otto, right?"
[Correct answer.]
Kiana: "Durandal, how did you know?"
Durandal: "Because of a previous Q&A session, regarding the deal between Bishop Otto and Kevin, I think that must have happened after my battle with Kevin."
Otto had said that Schicksal would inevitably lose, and Durandal had some doubts about that.
Looking back now, he must have realized that she couldn't defeat the World Serpent Leader.
[Congratulations to Durandal for winning the reward: Concept Card - Mirror Space (Kevin's Choice Edition)]
[Description: Unlike the original Mirror Space, this is Mirror Space specifically designed to challenge Kevin. The replica within is Kevin at his peak. One challenge opportunity.]
Pardofelis: "Boss Kevin in his prime?!"
Wow, this is practically an opportunity to challenge Kevin!
Anyone who uses this Concept Card and survives ten minutes in the Mirror Space will see their status in the Chat Group skyrocket, reaching the rank of [Su Kaiyan and holding three Divine Key].
Durandal: "Hmm... I've used up my three previous attempts at Mirror Space, so I can use them now."
Mirror Space is a good thing, especially in Durandal you can't find any opponents in the Schicksal Training.
The high-intensity training on a regular basis is completely insufficient to meet the needs of the strongest Valkyrie; in short, those [toys] are too light.
Durandal needs powerful enemies like those in the Mirror Space to constantly hone its combat capabilities.
This Mirror Space challenge for Kevin is excellent, but the opportunity is only available once, which makes Durandal very distressed.
Durandal: "It's a bit of a waste to use Kevin at his peak now."
Kiana: "... You're really going to take on the challenge?"
Theresa: "Durandal, I understand your desire to become stronger, and I know that no one dies in the Mirror Space, but please calm down. It wouldn't be good if you were traumatized by this."
In reality, Kevin might go easy on Durandal because everyone was fighting against the Honkai together and Durandal had made great contributions, but he definitely wouldn't in the Mirror Space.
Durandal: "That makes sense. Let's watch the battle between Kevin and me on screen first."
First, let's confirm. If the gap between myself and Kevin is indeed too large, then I'll keep him for now.
If only we could try to confront them head-on...
Since the last time the Mirror Space was used up, Durandal hasn't had such an exhilarating gaming experience in a long time, and now he's itching to get back to playing.
In the scene, Kevin and Durandal are in a snowy landscape, with black crystals growing on the snow and a white mist covering the ice.
Kevin stood on the icicle, and Durandal walked toward him.
A red light flashed on Kevin's arm, and black crystals erupted beside Durandal, but they could not stop the S-rank Valkyrie's nimble movements.
Durandal punched Kevin in the face, golden patterns appearing on her arm, but the powerful attack was deflected by an invisible energy.
Then Durandal punched Kevin again, finally breaking through the invisible protective shield.
Then the two began a fierce, hand-to-hand combat in the sky.
Using the power of the Stand User, a giant appeared behind Durandal, slamming Kevin to the ground. Then, it gathered power in the air and transformed into a long spear that descended from the sky.
Seeing this, Kevin also created black crystals with his hands, wrapped them around Durandal's spear, and then shattered it completely.
The two stood in the sky, looking at each other, their respective energies constantly surging and covering the sky, colliding with each other above the white clouds.
"Durandal, stop."
Just as the two were locked in a fierce and evenly matched fight, about to get serious, an untimely voice interrupted them.
Otto slowly approached, stepping onto the ice.
He looked up and saw the two people in the sky, as well as Kevin's equally indifferent eyes staring at him.
"Leader of the World Serpent, you have fully demonstrated your power; therefore, I must return the courtesy."
"I am Otto Apocalypse, the current Bishop of Schicksal."
Otto walked forward step by step, his figure gradually covered by ice and snow, and the scene ended there.
Kiana: "Huh? Wait, that's it? What happened to the Fehu that I was looking forward to? Oh right, the Fehu is still with that stinky old man."
Kiana was still a little worried that her missing father might be targeted by the World Serpent.
After all, if Kevin returns, he will likely reclaim the Fehu, Z Siegfried will be in trouble then.
Pardofelis: "Sigh... I even brought out the cat food, expecting a cataclysmic battle... It's not that the scene is impossible, but I certainly can't pull it off."
Kiana: "Yes, Pardo, I understand what you mean. I didn't expect that Kevin and Durandal's fight would end like this."
To be fair, you are the leader of the World Serpent and the Schicksal strongest Valkyrie Destiny.
Even if the fighting doesn't aim to destroy the world, it should at least cause the sky to collapse and the earth to shatter to justify its prestige, right?
Herrscher of Reason: "Durandal, you're not rigging the match, are you?"
Durandal: "... It's necessary to probe the opponent's strength in the early stages of the battle, and Kevin hasn't even used the Fehu yet."
Durandal was initially looking forward to Kevin unleashing the full power of the Fehu, but not witnessing it left him somewhat disappointed.
Herrscher of Reason: "It's still that Otto. They were fighting well, Durandal and Kevin were just getting ready to unleash their power, why did he have to show up and interfere? Now look what happened, they stopped halfway through the fight."
Bronya: "Bronya also felt a little regretful."
I was all set to watch a high-level match and broaden my horizons.
As a result, Otto's meddling turned high-level games into games where players intentionally lost to lower-ranked opponents.
[Congratulations, Raven, on joining the Chat Group.]
Kiana: "Raven?!"
Raiden Mei: "Raven?"
Danzhu: "Raven... who was that again?"
The addition of new members to the Chat Group immediately enlivened the atmosphere. Among them were Raiden Mei, who seemed surprised, and two other members who, having joined late, didn't have a good memory for those who hadn't appeared in the group often.
Raiden Mei: "He's a high-ranking member of World Serpent, right? The one who was with me in the Previous Era Elysian Realm. He should be easy to talk to."
Pardofelis: "The people of the World Serpent, they are our comrades, our own people, our own people!"
Durandal: "Since we're on the same side, come out and say hello, Miss Raven."
This Silly Goose may have almost forgotten that she is Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, and is considered an absolutely dangerous individual by the World Serpent executives.
Raven: "..."
At the Shencheng Pharmaceuticals Base, Raven, wearing a hat that concealed her face, was preparing to return to collect her bounty after completing her mission.
However, the strange thought that suddenly appeared in his mind made the assassin in the darkness tense up, and his face clearly showed that something was wrong.
'That bastard Gray Serpent, didn't he say the World Serpent's base was absolutely safe? Why was it still invaded by Schicksal?'
Upon hearing Durandal's voice, Raven instinctively forgot about everyone else.
It's over, it's over, it's over!
The World Serpent's base has been invaded by Schicksal, who has even sent their Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal Durandal, to intercept her. What should she do now?!
Chapter 196 Schicksal and Anti-Entropy Attack the World Serpent?
Like Destiny and Anti-Entropy Schicksal, World Serpent is one of the three major powers in the world. Its technology and financial resources are not to be underestimated.
However, compared to the Schicksal, which is outwardly visible and openly maintains world order and controls a vast amount of global resources, the World Serpent resides in the shadows underground.
Thanks to its strong secrecy and the elusive nature of its executives, World Serpent has become an organization that even Schicksal finds troublesome, even before its leader has returned.
However, things would change if World Serpent's base were exposed, especially if Durandal, Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, appeared before World Serpent's executives.
"What do we do?! What do we do?!"
The Raven hid in the shadows, trying to minimize its presence.
Although she is World Serpent executive, her combat power far surpasses that of ordinary Valkyrie, and even within World Serpent, she is not comparable to the likes of Jackal.
But she was about to face the strongest S-rank Valkyrie in the Schicksal, a fearsome figure even in the black market, someone she absolutely could not afford to provoke.
If it were Rita or Theresa, the Raven wouldn't be so afraid.
Even if the two of them appeared together, Rita and Theresa together, Raven was confident he could bring them both down in the World Serpent's base.
But Durandal is different.
When she appears in front of you, it's basically game over.
Legend has it that when facing Durandal, no matter how elaborate the scheme or how dangerous the trap, it will be shattered by the opponent's absolute force.
As an assassin, Raven has now been caught red-handed by Durandal, and the psychological trauma she is suffering is unimaginable.
Durandal: "What's going on? Why isn't Miss Raven responding at all? Could she have logged off?"
Theresa: "Durandal, do you think it's possible that you scared her away?"
Durandal: "Am I that scary?"
Welt: "The World Serpent's executives have encountered Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie. I think Miss Raven is currently as easily frightened as a bird startled by a mere twang of a bow; she'll panic at the slightest disturbance."
Raven: "Welt? The Anti-Entropy Leader... So that's how it is. Schicksal and Anti-Entropy have formed an alliance?!"
