Chapter 291
Raiden Mei: "Tell the Valkyrie to step down? Durandal, can you do that?"
Kiana: "Oh right! I almost forgot, Durandal, aren't you the strongest Valkyrie? They'll definitely listen to you, right?"
How could I have almost forgotten? Among them is a peerless Valkyrie, skilled in both literature and Valkyrie, stationed at the Schicksal Headquarters!
Kiana said that since she and Durandal are such good friends, she would definitely help with this small favor, right?
Durandal: "Hmm... I could indeed do that, but the explanation afterward would be troublesome, and besides, it would only mean placing Miss Mei under house arrest."
Even if she intervenes and manages to stop the war, she can invite Raiden Mei to temporarily reside at Schicksal Headquarters while awaiting investigation.
Ultimately, this is the same as house arrest.
Besides that, even she couldn't do much more.
At this point, the Durandal didn't go to Schicksal Headquarters to retrieve Kiana was already a great consideration for Kiana's feelings.
Raiden Mei: "Isn't that the same thing?"
Durandal: "So, Miss Mei, if you really want to leave, I suggest you fight your way out."
Raiden Mei: "Huh?!!"
Elysia: "Durandal, you're being a bit..."
Listen to this! Listen to this! Is this the kind of thing the Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal should say?
Durandal: "Don't misunderstand, what I mean is, the Valkyrie of the Immortal Blades haven't met a suitable opponent in a long time. Since we have this opportunity, let's consider it a chance for them to hone their skills."
From Durandal's words, it seems she can refrain from intervening, but whether Raiden Mei can get out depends on her own abilities.
Moreover, her words came from the bottom of her heart.
The Valkyrie's will is unwavering, her determination to fight for all that is good in the world remains steadfast, and the Immortal Blades is an elite chosen from among them.
Having witnessed the era of Flame-Chasers, Durandal couldn't help but feel that the level of the Immortal Blades was somewhat inadequate.
It's time to find an opportunity to show her team members what it means to be outmatched and have a higher level of expertise.
Raiden Mei: "Then... are we really going to fight our way out?"
Breaking through Schicksal Headquarters... just thinking about it is exciting... cough cough. First of all, Raiden Mei says she absolutely has no such thoughts, and knows very well that she is not capable of doing such a thing.
Although she had undergone Flame-Chasers's special training, she was ultimately not Flame-Chasers.
This choice was made only out of necessity.
Herrscher of Reason: "Go, Mei! Break through Schicksal and crush Otto's Soul Steel Face!"
Pardofelis: "Sister Mei, we believe in you!"
Raiden Mei: "But I..."
At this moment, Mei was still hesitant.
The main reason is that she just returned from the Death Space and isn't sure about her own strength yet, and besides, she really didn't mean any harm!
The Valkyrie in front of them looked menacing, and behind them were several communications personnel, who seemed to be communicating with people at headquarters.
Mei felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Elysia: "Mei, if you really don't know what to do, you can think about what the Mei from the Previous Era Elysian Realm would do in a situation like this?"
This is a good idea.
Raiden Mei raised an eyebrow. If it were that chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) person, they probably wouldn't hesitate as much as she did in this situation.
Vill-V: "Miss Mei, I forgot to tell you, before I left, I left something good in your left pocket. Remember to open it and take a look."
"Um?"
Raiden Mei put her hand in her pocket and, sure enough, found a square object.
It looks like a box.
With a press of his hand, the palm-sized box instantly disintegrated and reassembled into a cracked katana.
Raiden Mei: "What is this?"
Vill-V: "It's a parting gift from the experts to Miss Mei, a weapon crafted based on the inspiration of the Thousand-Man Herrscher, composed of nearly a thousand blade fragments."
Vill-V: "As for a name, let's call it Thousand Blades."
Raiden Mei: "Thank you."
That girl, Vill-V, didn't even come to see me off when she left, but she secretly slipped a gift into my pocket without me noticing.
Raiden Mei shook the blade in her hand, quite pleased with the thousand fragments that moved at her will.
From the perspective of the Valkyrie on the other side, her actions were the prelude to a declaration of war.
"Little girl, please give up your futile struggle. We are surrounded by the world's finest Valkyrie. You'll only suffer physical pain here."
The Valkyrie nodded.
Surrounded by multiple Valkyrie, Raiden Mei remained completely unfazed, which they perceived as utter arrogance.
The Immortal Blades are Schicksal's most outstanding Valkyrie unit. Under the leadership of Lady Durandal, they protect the world, fight against the Honkai, and wreak havoc all the way.
Raiden Mei closed her eyes, gradually contemplating Mei's Mei (delusional) behavior. After gathering her emotions, she slowly opened her eyes.
No need for further explanation.
With a single swing of her longsword, Raiden Mei's Thousand Blades fragments perfectly merged, forming a true katana.
'Surely this little girl isn't unaware of Lady Durandal reputation?'
This idea popped into the minds of all the Valkyrie.
Despite losing her title of "Immortal Blades," she's still so arrogant, and she's just a greenhorn. This is the first time they've encountered such a case since they started working in the industry.
"Superior!"
The Valkyrie directly in front thrust out her spear, aiming it at Raiden Mei's shoulder. If it hit, it would cripple Raiden Mei's arm that was holding the katana.
Raiden Mei casually swung her hand, and Thousand Blades blocked the spear. With another swing, she deflected it.
"Too slow!"
Raiden Mei flashed into the air, transforming into a bolt of lightning and instantly appearing behind the Valkyrie, delivering a swift chop to her neck.
Too slow.
Having grown accustomed to the high-speed combat with Sakura, Raiden Mei felt as if the Valkyrie's weapons were being attacked at her in slow motion.
Chapter 475 Sister Tazi's Car Crashed
"Let's attack together!"
Seeing the first one fall, the Valkyrie behind realized that this invader was no ordinary person, and they all attacked together, unleashing a barrage of all kinds of martial arts.
The Immortal Blades is indeed Schicksal's most outstanding Valkyrie unit.
In unexpected situations, they can not only make the right choice, but also change their strategy instantly when things don't go well at the start.
The logistics liaison, the mechanic specializing in remote attacks, and the hacker proficient in electronic instruments—they all chose to retreat from the very beginning.
If the Valkyrie who are dealing with Mei are defeated, Raiden Mei will then have to face a heavily armed mech army and an inescapable surveillance network.
If led by an excellent leader, this is indeed an excellent unit in every sense.
Unfortunately, the tiger that guards the mountain is not here.
"Too slow!"
"A thousand bolts of lightning, the illusion shattered!"
"O howling winds high in the sky, submit to me!"
At this moment, Raiden Mei, now transformed into lightning, was still able to handle multiple Valkyrie units with ease, and even became more and more excited as the battle progressed.
It was as if all the pressure felt from Sakura and Elysia in the Death Space had been released.
I didn't encounter it even once!
Raiden Mei almost doubted whether she was a fake Herrscher of Thunder.
Now it seems that the speed of lightning is fast enough, so the problem definitely isn't with her!
As for the A-rank Valkyrie lying on the ground...
Since she had already received a verbal promise from Durandal, as long as she didn't cause any death, it would be considered a minor injury.
"Thunderclap!"
With her final strike, Raiden Mei landed a blow on the abdomen of the still-standing Valkyrie, then clapped her hands to call it a day.
"Monster, monster!"
Raiden Mei turned her head and realized that there was another Valkyrie still alive and kicking, even though she had just struck a vital spot by herself.
Could it be that this person is relatively tough?
Raiden Mei stared intently at the Valkyrie's face, realizing she seemed familiar.
Oh, it's the time Rita broke into the World Serpent Base, I think her name was something like Alvitr.
"No, don't come any closer, don't come any closer... Wait! I know, you're the Herrscher of Thunder, the one from Nagazora City... Ughhhhh."
"It's too noisy, let's have some peace and quiet."
Just as Alvitr was about to run away, Raiden Mei grabbed her and stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth.
No wonder Durandal takes special care of this guy.
The mighty Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal unit in Destiny's history, was completely wiped out by her, even with two S-Rank leaders absent.
Raiden Mei could almost foresee that after today, that training maniac would increase the training pressure on the Immortal Blades by several levels.
Seeing that the Valkyrie around her were all lying on the ground, their injuries not serious, Raiden Mei began to think about how to leave.
No, it seems too late.
"This uninvited lady, it seems my subordinates have received quite a bit of your care while I was away."
Raiden Mei turned around and saw the maid who had spoken.
Rita, one of the S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, and the vice-captain of Durandal.
This is getting a bit tricky!
While Raiden Mei was observing Rita was also observing the injuries of the Immortal Blades members.
When they discovered that the injuries were all minor and that the women had simply passed out, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you very much for showing mercy, but could you please come to the Schicksal Headquarters for a while? I will treat you very well, Miss Herrscher."
Rita stood up, pointing her massive scythe at Raiden Mei.
"No, I refuse."
Raiden Mei crossed her arms and said in a cold voice.
"That would be difficult, but... showing hospitality to guests is a basic quality of a host."
The next moment, the scythe left a mark, slicing across Raiden Mei's chest, just three inches in front of her.
S-rank Valkyrie is on a completely different level from the ordinary members just now.
Rita hooked her hand back, and the scythe that had been smashed to the ground rose up and swung towards Mei's neck. Raiden Mei slashed out with her sword, the blade colliding with the scythe, and then struck Rita with a Thunderclap palm.
"What a dangerous prey! It seems you are a discerning guest; it will take some time to properly entertain you."
Rita dodged to the side and jumped back to create distance between herself and Raiden Mei.
She then launched another fierce attack, her scythe flying through the air, each spin grazing past Raiden Mei.
Raiden Mei dodged repeatedly, managing to avoid Rita's attacks in time, but the trajectory of her scythe flying through the air seemed to be dancing; after each attack, the next one would arrive in an instant.
Suddenly, a blade flashed across the back of Rita's neck. Rita twisted her waist, and the scythe appeared on Mei's chest in an instant.
Raiden Mei swung her Thousand Blades to block, but was instantly knocked back and slammed against the wall.
"Guest, if you wish to stay now, we can provide you with the most comfortable reception room."
"Don't be too smug."
