[Naraka] The Innocent Goose and the Youngster Finally Meet; the Mist Begins to Clear and the Paradise Appears

Shi Hen waved his hand and said calmly.

"Kiana and the others will definitely save the world!"

Durandal said in an extremely firm tone.

Having witnessed Kiana and the others' growth, she believed that they would never easily lose to [Welt White].

"Then let's wait and see."

Shi Hen merely chuckled softly, his nonchalant attitude revealing the arrogance of a villainous boss.

"You will definitely fail."

She whispered sharply, Durandal suddenly remembered something and frowned, asking, "What kind of deal did you and Kevin make with Otto?"

Besides the collusion between [Welt White] and the Herrscher of Domination, the deal between the other party and Otto is also something that she finds very puzzling.

If Otto's goal is to revive Kallen, then what can Welt White gain from this?

"This answer won't be free."

He glanced at the girl Shi Hen said coldly.

He felt that the other party seemed to be treating him like an automated questioning machine.

"What... what do you want me to do now?"

She immediately clenched her fists and asked, her eyes filled with Durandal and indignation as she looked at the man.

She still remembers the humiliation she felt when the other party made her change into a little skirt the last time.

Even though Rita's steak was delicious, the starry sky was beautiful that night, and the night breeze on the observation deck was so pleasant...

A series of thoughts flashed through her mind, Durandal quickly shook her head to put them aside and reaffirmed her resistance to these matters.

She won't give in to Welt White so easily.

"..."

Seeing the girl's face suddenly turn red, Shi Hen paused slightly before pointing to the game console that the Valkyrie had forcibly shut down. "If you play through all the endings of 'Kallen Ultimate Fantasy I' with me, I'll tell you the answer."

In fact, the game itself is the answer to the deal with Otto.

Even if there were other motives, for Shi Hen, the most fundamental reason for this transaction was to send Otto on his way and let this legendary bishop completely leave this world.

After all, given Otto's cunning, even with a powerful weapon like the Key of Erosion in his hands, he wouldn't dare say he could completely kill Otto.

If the other party leaves a backup somewhere that is not connected to other systems, the Key of Erosion will be powerless to do anything about it.

"Um???"

Upon hearing this request, Durandal, who had been prepared to accept more difficulties from the man, was stunned.

No, what on earth is this person thinking?

For a moment, she couldn't help but wonder if the other person was just looking for an excuse to play games with her.

Honestly, if that's the kind of request she'd make, even without an answer, she'd still...

"The mighty Valkyrie, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, can't even do something like this?"

Shi Hen said calmly, his deep voice interrupting the girl's gradually lowering thoughts.

"Then bring it on!"

Upon hearing this, Durandal immediately became more determined.

It's just a little game, watch her beat it in the fastest time!

"Hehehe..."

With a low chuckle, Shi Hen turned on the game console and secretly activated the hidden difficulty of "Kallen Final Fantasy I" using a cheat code.

It's time to give this strongest Valkyrie a little bit of a shock with white.

Five days later, when Durandal finally left the office, her face was no longer as radiant as usual, and her bright blue eyes were bloodshot, making her look like she was about to ascend to heaven after overdoing her cultivation.

"Durandal!"

Having waited outside for a long time, Rita immediately supported the haggard-looking golden-haired Valkyrie. "Did the Bishop Sir give you a hard time again?"

Rita bit her lip and asked, her wine-red eyes instantly filled with pity.

She couldn't even imagine what that bastard [Welt White] had done to have Durandal reduced to this state!

Unfortunately, as a Valkyrie was only at the peak of A-rank, she couldn't do anything at all!

"Difficult?"

Hearing Rita's words, Durandal immediately managed to pull herself together a bit, "No, he just had me play a game with him."

Although the game's difficulty was indeed absurd, [Welt White] showed her what true skill is through her gameplay.

Given the other party's behavior, she naturally couldn't say that this was being deliberately difficult.

Otherwise, wouldn't it make her seem too incompetent?

Rita: "..."

Playing games?

Are you kidding me?

Seeing the golden-haired Valkyrie's haggard appearance, Rita naturally didn't believe such an explanation.

After all, if you put yourself in her shoes, with a beautiful girl like Durandal by your side who has both looks and temperament, you wouldn't even think about serious games.

Not to mention, they've been playing this for a full five days!

Thinking this, Rita felt even more bitter, far more bitter than the last time she watched the two chatting happily on the observation deck while she could only stand by as a maid.

Because this time, she didn't even have the right to serve tea and water or eavesdrop.

"However, Bai's skills are truly amazing..."

Unaware of what Rita was thinking, Durandal, still immersed in the game she had just played, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Without Welt White's various forms of assistance, it would have taken her forever to complete the game and unlock all the endings on her own.

Click~

On the other side, upon hearing Durandal's soft murmur and seeing the faint smile on the girl's lips, Rita's delicate body trembled, and her already fragile heart shattered into countless pieces.

She knew that this time, the Liyou Party had suffered a complete defeat.

Chapter 194 [Naraku] The Penguin finally meets, the mist dissipates and paradise appears

"Hi~ It's been a long time, Durandal."

Upon stepping back into the Elysian Realm, the first thing Durandal heard was a familiar voice.

"Elysia?"

Looking at the pink-haired fairy sitting casually on the sofa, Durandal couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

She has been in the Elysian Realm for more than half a year now. Although she is not here every moment, her repeated explorations have been enough for her to uncover many secrets of the Elysian Realm.

At least, she has found the answers to most of the things she wanted to know.

The only thing that still bothered her was the request from Welt White—to find the deepest secret buried in the Elysian Realm. No, it wasn't that she was completely clueless about it; it was just that someone had intentionally hidden it away.

Thinking this, Durandal's gaze towards Elysia couldn't help but carry a hint of resentment.

When she knew little about the Elysian Realm, the other person would affectionately call her Penguin and take her on various explorations in the Elysian Realm.

But when she actually began to delve into that secret, the other person gradually became distant and instead lingered around Mei.

"Okay, don't be angry."

Regarding that thing you've always wanted to know, I can now tell you the answer!

Seemingly sensing the golden-haired Valkyrie's mood, Elysia immediately smiled and said, her tone full of flattery.

"You're not going to try to fob me off with something else again, are you?"

However, Durandal frowned slightly at this, her delicate face full of vigilance.

Don't believe Elysia too much.

This was the most important thing she learned in the Elysian Realm.

"Oh dear, it seems you have a deep misunderstanding about me Durandal."

Seeing the girl's appearance, the Fairy Miss sighed sadly, "Actually, I've always wanted to tell you everything, but it's always been a little too late."

"Then why this time..."

Hearing this, Durandal became even more puzzled.

Aside from what happened in the real world, she didn't remember doing anything significant in the Elysian Realm during this time.

"Hey~"

Faced with the girl's doubts, Elysia simply chuckled softly, trying to fool her, and then reached out to pull the Valkyrie up, "Come with me, you'll find out soon enough."

"..."

Slightly taken aback and somewhat at a loss, Durandal thought for a moment and then let the Fairy Miss lead her forward.

Although she often did not do anything productive, she did not think that Elysia would be a threat to her.

Passing through the portal in the hall, the two arrived at the real Elysian Realm and appeared in the deserted city with great familiarity.

Without lingering there, Elysia led Durandal through several streets, and a beautiful and exquisite complex of buildings, resembling a garden, appeared before them.

"This is... St. Freya?"

As her gaze swept over the architectural complex before her, which was identical to the one in St. Freya outside, Durandal's face once again showed a hint of surprise.

Even though she had been here several times, she really didn't expect that Elysia's destination would be here.

No, perhaps it's more surprising that their destination wasn't here.

After all, among the many Flame-Chasers of the Elysian Realm, Elysia and Naraku, who share the second seat, are clearly very special.

The former goes without saying, and as for the latter, before Mei arrived and triggered the hidden map, she had never even heard of her.

If there truly is some extraordinary secret in the Elysian Realm, it must be inextricably linked to these two.

"Are you ready? The answer is about to be revealed!"

With a smile, Elysia asked, not waiting for Durandal's reply, and stepped into St. Freya with increasingly light steps.

"Etc..."

Subconsciously wanting to ask more questions, Durandal followed the Fairy Miss's figure. After a few steps, a pavilion nestled among blooming flowers came into view. A white-haired man of about thirty years old was smiling and looking at her. A trace of nostalgia and sadness flashed in his gray eyes, which the girl could just barely perceive.

"Have we met before...?"

Realizing immediately that the man before her was Naraku, Durandal felt a pang of sadness for no apparent reason.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again.

Perhaps, at some unknown time, such a thing might indeed happen.

Silently putting away Shi Hen Feather of Dust he had borrowed from the warrior Hua, Shihen, now dressed in the Naraku vest, smiled and replied.

"An unknown time?"

Upon hearing this, Durandal became even more confused.

Isn't time something that always flows forward, like a river?

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's begin our party."

She popped out from the corner again, Elysia half-pushed Durandal to sit down next to the boy, while she sat down opposite him. There was also a beautiful girl with cascading black hair next to her.

"Raiden Mei?"

Only then did she notice that there was a fourth person present, Durandal's cheeks flushed slightly.

"It's been a long time, Durandal."

She spoke calmly, Mei face revealing undisguised aloofness.
