Volume 1: Chapter 245: An Episode That Even Rita Was Afraid Of

"Lady Durandal, you... uh?"

The moment Durandal saw her, she immediately assumed a fighting stance, staring intently without uttering a word.

Rita, standing to the side, felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were seeing a demon in broad daylight in front of Anna.

Seeing this, Bai Yan transformed into a small tornado and instantly appeared beside Modern Anna.

"Who are you?" Upon seeing another person, Durandal shifted her gaze to Bai Yan and asked warily.

Anna opened her eyes wide and subconsciously looked at Bai Yan.

The latter shook his head to indicate that he was relieved.

“My name is Bai Yan, and this is Anna Shaniat. If I’m not mistaken, this shouldn’t be the world we’re in.”

The two S-rank soldiers exchanged a glance, their fighting stances unchanged, but the atmosphere became less tense.

Their feelings were somewhat complicated.

After all, the Herrscher of Ice in this world was someone Durandal personally helped to send away.

“Our arrival here was purely accidental. Now we want to try to use the Divine Key, the Thousand Realms Transmission, to see if we can be sent back,” Bai Yan added.

Just as Durandal was about to agree, Rita suddenly spoke up.

“Wait a minute,” she stepped forward, “and who is this Mr. Bai Yan? Anna Shaniat does exist in our world, but we’ve never seen you before.”

Anna gave Bai Yan a strange look but didn't say anything.

Bai Yan did not answer, but instead took out an ID and a seal from his person and handed them directly to Rita.

The latter took the item, opened it, and examined it carefully.

Durandal also curiously leaned over to take a look.

The two of them were taken aback at the same time, then looked up at Bai Yan with question marks on their faces.

"Logistics support and intelligence assurance for the Undying Blade... Does the Valkyrie Squad of Destiny have such a position?" Durandal then asked Rita.

“There is no such position,” Rita shook her head, then stared intently at Bai Yan, “but this kind of thing can be applied for and filled out at will, the key is this seal.”

What's wrong with the seal?

“This is my seal.”

"what?"

"It should be said that I am from another world, and I have a very close relationship with this Mr. Bai Yan, otherwise I would not have given him such a thing, unless it was stolen."

"But judging from the atmosphere in which Anna was with him, he wasn't that kind of person, so it could only be the former."

"Mr. Bai Yan, am I right?"

Bai Yan remained calm and showed little reaction to her words, as if the person in her words had nothing to do with him.

“That’s true.” He nodded.

"So, how did you two get here?"

"Simply put, there was a problem with the process of teleporting back from the moon via the Thousand Realms One Ride, and the destination unexpectedly shifted here. Given the bizarre nature of Honkai energy, we cannot determine the cause, so we had no choice but to come and find the Divine Key first."

Rita first handed back the stamp and other items, then gave him a scrutinizing look.

"Is the Stigmata Project being carried out in your world as well?"

"Correct."

"So...you two aren't Herrschers?"

Anna shook her head and said, "I am a Herrscher, and so is Bai Yan."

“Before this, we got separated from the others and couldn’t find the person in charge of the World Serpent, so we just continued to look for clues and see how to stop the Stigmata Project,” Bai Yan said.

Judging from Rita's reaction just now, she doesn't seem to think she's someone she can trust.

Anyone can say nice things, but actions reveal one's true stance.

“I’m sorry to say that the use of the Thousand Realms Vehicle requires the consent of Bishop Theresa, and we are currently unable to contact her. Therefore, please don’t be anxious and rest at the Schicksal headquarters for a while,” Rita said politely, nodding slightly.

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy..." Bai Yan muttered to himself.

Don't be fooled by how kind Rita is to you in your own world; that's only true for certain people.

How can you expect to get along with someone who does dirty work all year round?

Anna didn't have much of an opinion on the proposal, but Bai Yan wasn't willing to just wait there.

Most people don't know what the final plan, after being personally modified by Mei, actually means.

If we waste time, we might miss our chance.

"I still have to fight those two," Bai Yan thought, "but if I don't activate the Luoshen Transformation... it'll be a bit difficult, damn it."

"Anna can take down Rita, but I'm not so sure I can beat Durandal."

With the Heavenly Knight Armor, Durandal can even go toe-to-toe with the Demon Kevin; Sakura, after her ultimate modification, must use her last hidden power to defeat her.

The long silence gradually made the two people opposite them wary.

From Durandal's perspective, Bai Yan was not particularly hostile, except for being suspicious.

But Rita wouldn't think that way.

“It seems that Mr. Bai Yan has other plans.” As she spoke, a giant scythe appeared in her hand.

Seeing this, Durandal also assumed a fighting stance.

Anna looked at Bai Yan with some nervousness.

"Our situation is somewhat urgent, but we appreciate your kind offer."

"Time is of the essence, please, gentlemen, make an exception."

Bai Yan maintained his poker face.

Rita maintained her formulaic smile.

There was a stalemate for a moment.

Bai Yan sighed: "It's fate—Anna, you hold Rita back."

"...Kun Yinling doubts (four) B Wu Jiushi pulls it...okay."

Durandal is fine; she's always ready to give it her all.

Rita frowned, a not-so-pleasant memory flooding her mind.

Even if I'm alone, I'll stop you!

At the same time, she gradually realized something: the boy with the single ponytail seemed to have no fear of fighting Durandal at all.

After a moment's pause, Bai Yan took a step back, made a sword gesture with his fingers, and placed it on his chest.

In an instant, countless flaming swords suddenly appeared behind him, spreading across half the sky, turning the heavens into ablaze.

"The Herrscher of Flame?" Durandal asked in confusion.

"It's just a bit of the power of a flame."

"Is that so? Then I'll see just how powerful you are!"

Before she finished speaking, Durandal, covered in jet-black armor and wielding a lance, ignored the sword energy in the sky and charged straight at Bai Yan.

The fiery sword energy was unleashed in full force, heading straight for Durandal's location.

Boom boom boom...

Durandal raised her spear and swung it, transforming into a blur as she blocked all the sword energy that filled the sky.

Rita, who was watching from the side, was alarmed and quickly moved away.

Anna followed her when she saw this, but did not attack her.

The two changed to a floating island and watched the massive battle in the distance.

After a short while, Rita asked Anna with some difficulty, "Who exactly is he?"

"Uh... In our world, it's said that he and Lady Durandal were in the same orphanage and were old acquaintances. Later, uh, it seems that he was taken in by Lady Rita from our side to work for us."

"I see... But Miss Anna, don't you intend to fight me?"

"Bai Yan asked me to stall you, but I guess that's unnecessary."

"Yeah."

Rita remained noncommittal, keeping a close eye on the battlefield below while also keeping a watchful eye on Anna beside her.

Volume 1: Chapter 246: Silly Goose, you still have too many weaknesses!

The headquarters of Destiny is located on a floating island.

The past—or rather, not the past, the rest of the world is a separate matter.

Despite the endless sword energy, Durandal continued to wield her black lance without the slightest slackening of her strength.

Her power was inexhaustible, and no matter how much sword energy Bai Yan unleashed, it was difficult to break the deadlock.

"Aha!"

boom!

Finally, the sword energy in the sky ran out, and Durandal thrust with all her might, the flames bursting and disappearing without a trace.

The golden-haired martial god charged forward, but Bai Yan had already retreated once again.

The two sides still haven't been able to close the gap.

Durandal was halfway there when she realized that the sky had suddenly darkened.

Looking up, one sees a massive, black sword descending from the sky, obscuring the blazing sun, crashing down from the clouds with a deafening roar, parting the clouds and creating a magnificent spectacle.

When the black greatsword fell, Durandal had no choice but to face it head-on.

Boom!

Boom boom!

A deep, resounding impact erupted, followed by a restrained roar that echoed across the sea.

The water surface rippled and spread out in concentric circles.

Durandal gripped her lance tightly with both hands, desperately trying to stop the falling black greatsword, but the immense gravity kept pushing her back.

boom!

She stomped hard on the ground, creating a deep crater in the alloy floor, trying to stop her retreat.

However, the greatsword seemed unstoppable, and Durandal continued to retreat, her feet gradually being forced into a deep ravine.

Seeing this, Bai Yan amplified the jet-black giant sword with all his might, causing it to expand once more.

At this moment, not only was Durandal shaken, but even the floating island was shaken, gradually trembling and becoming increasingly violent.

Rita, witnessing this scene from afar, was utterly shocked.

"What power is this?"

"It seems to be the power of the Herrscher of Rock, but he has incorporated it into some kind of swordsmanship."

"Swordsmanship..."

After watching the battle for a while, more people arrived at the floating island where Rita was located.

Her long hair resembled a ribbon, and her sword was two feet sharp.

"Wow, what's that? I'm not seeing things, am I? It's Durandal fighting someone?"

Li Sushang stood next to Rita, looking into the distance with astonishment.

With all three S-class members of Destiny gathered, Rita breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Even if Durandal remains undefeated with this combination of two Herrschers, he himself will likely suffer a severe blow.

With Li Sushang added, this game is practically won.
