This is the darkest night.
It's like a bottle of black ink tipped over on the paper. All you can see in the sky is pure black without any impurities. The faint clouds disappeared in the roar of the east wind, and the pearls dotted on the night also lost their usual light. Only the moon like a jade plate hung in the sky, as clean and dustless as this black piece. The only source of light in this world.
But now, things have changed.
A spark fell on the ink-covered paper, burning a small hole and leaving a tiny bit of red.
Immediately afterwards, fiery red light illuminated the land, because...
The whole sky is burning!
Valentine didn't know how hot his body was now. He only saw this warehouse filled with white water vapor. The restless flame surged out of his body and covered his clothes. In this darkness, it was as dazzling as a god of fire descending to earth. Even the light of the moon was completely suppressed. The composite willow leaves burned red by the flames pulled out a sharp line of fire in the air, like the tail of Valentine's violent comet, cutting open the space with the hottest temperature, rushing with endless power. Towards the knight holding a sword not far away.
Compared to the most dazzling star in the sky, Jiao Zhengyu's dress and aura seemed a bit too ordinary. Yae Huoguan's speed was extremely fast, like lightning, but in his eyes, it was as slow as a snail. For an artificial intelligence that likes to allocate some computing power to predict the future when it has nothing to do, it is indeed not very fast to rely on pure human power.
In one second, Valentine used the knife in his hand to cut eight fiery red lines in the air. Jiao Zhengyu stood at the intersection of the eight lines with his long sword, without a single scar on his body. The clothes on his body are as clean and intact as his long sword, but if you look closely, you will find that there are eight more shallow scratches on the sword.
He successfully defended against Valentine's eight flashes.
But it's not over yet. The power of the Eight Layers of Fire is more than just these eight dodge slashes. After the last flash, a fiery red ball appeared out of thin air and covered the area, isolating all the water vapor and darkness, leaving only the extremely high temperature and the two fighting people inside. Valentin, wearing flame armor, jumped into the air, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands and holding the sword high above his right shoulder. His blood-red eyes stared at Jiao Zhengyu's head and slashed it down to the lower left of himself.
This is the most advanced way of attacking, using all the strength of one's body to attack with the sword, regardless of how the opponent attacks. Although the eight slashes just now were all taken by Jiao Zhengyu, Valentin could also feel that his body that was exchanged for a source stone was not as indestructible as Superman - his reaction speed was very fast. , but every time he parried, he would take a step back, and the sword in his hand would tremble slightly.
Since Jiao Zhengyu likes to fight so much, Valentine will satisfy his preference. The power of the attack of Shixianliu is unparalleled by other schools. If you attack, Shixianliu has overwhelming power and speed. If you parry, the willow leaf will directly knock down the long sword in Jiao Zhengyu's hand and bring him a blow. for double damage.
Valentin's idea was correct, Xi Xianliu's offense did have these two characteristics, but he forgot that the sword in Jiao Zhengyu's hand was a long sword. The defense and offense of the long sword were different from the sword fighting. Zhengyu did not choose to dodge his attack, nor did he confront him head-on. Instead, he raised his hand and raised the long sword in his hand along the arc of the willow leaves. At the same time, he raised his wrist.
Ding!
The fiery red blade hit the sword grid. Jiao Zhengyu's arm sank slightly, the hand holding the sword hilt shook, and finally he caught the attack. At the same time, he took a step forward and swung the long sword in his hand towards Valentine along with the blade. Because of the existence of the cross sword grid, Liuye's blade could not touch Jiao Zhengyu's body when he attacked. The sharp blade rubbed violently with the sword grid, and a burst of dazzling sparks burst out. The tip of the long sword also stopped at on Valentine's shoulder.
Defense is offense, and the duel between cold weapons takes place in an instant.
Valentin Zhenen Xinghun's Eight Layer Fire Wall Mode hadn't even ended yet, and he had already lost. Looking at the composite sword willow leaf intertwined with the long sword, the blazing flame on Valentine's body slowly extinguished.
If it had been a few tenths of a second longer, he could have withdrawn his sword to defend himself against Jiao Zhengyu's thrust, but unfortunately as a human, his reaction ability was still not as good as that of an artificial intelligence even if it had been enhanced.
"This power is pretty good. I can defeat you solely because of my unreasonable reflexes."
Jiao Zhengyu let go of his hand, and the long sword that stabbed Valentine's shoulder evaporated in the air like water vapor. Valentine looked at the position where he had just been hit, pressed the scabbard with his left hand, drew the knife in an arc in the air with his right hand, and put the knife into the sheath with his backhand.
Reality is not a game, he can control the duration of skills at will. As long as he wanted to, he could always put down the eight flashes of the eight layers of fire and abandon the flame Valkyrie form behind them.
It's just that after using the skills, you may need to take a motion sickness pill to relieve the headache, and inject an ore disease inhibitor to suppress the condition.
"This feeling..." Valentin lowered his head and looked at his hands and murmured to himself: "It's so amazing. I used the Origin Stone technique to release the eight layers of fire as usual, and I didn't feel it. I even felt very excited when that layer of flame enveloped me."
"Not scared at all."
At this moment, Valentine seemed to be back to the way he was when he first came into this world. At that time, he was also surprised by his ability to use Origin Stone skills, but that freshness was soon replaced by anger.
"It's like 1+1=2. As Yae Sakura, you can use these things very naturally."
"But I can't seem to use my medical magic?" Valentine spread out his right hand, and a cluster of flames burst out from his palm, burning for a few seconds and then extinguished.
"Because you are Yae Sakura, not Valentine."
Jiao Zhengyu repeated this sentence again. Looking at the confused girl in front of him, he sighed and began to explain in detail.
"Although now in your consciousness, you are still the same Valentine, with the blue flying dragon behind you, and the medical warlock with electric discharge all over your body, but your body and Origin Stone skills have changed, becoming more in line with Yae Sakura· The identity of Zhenyan Xinghun."
"Because you have become Yae Sakura, the medical spells you used to have are completely unusable, and the spirit behind you cannot be released, because the true flame soul in the game does not have such a thing as the spirit behind it. The source stone skills have also changed. It has become an aggressive existence like flame, instead of the original electric current which has no effect other than increasing blood."
"Yes, the electricity looks cool."
Valentine, or Yae Sakura, once again displayed his excellent spirit of arguing.
"...So now you have to think about problems and face the enemy as Yae Sakura. As you said at the beginning, you have become a woman, not the boy who liked to dress in women's clothing."
"I see."
Yae Sakura nodded, her pink bunny ears swaying, looking quite cute.
"So now I kind of regret using this ability... I can't use medical spells, and I feel like I might die miserably."
"But you also have the invincible Eight-Level Fire Wall. Once the skill is activated, you will be invincible. Frost Star's lifting of the floor can't do anything to you."
Jiao Zhengyu thought of Valentine's eight flashes just now. At that time, he didn't think about attacking after blocking, but the attack couldn't cause any harm to Yae Sakura, so he gave up the idea of striking people with his sword.
"I can't just turn it on when I'm in danger, right? My body can't handle it."
Valentine looked sad.
"This is also a test to reduce your reliance on your own medical magic, so as not to become a fool who can only use a sword to act recklessly in the future."
Jiao Zhengyu lightly knocked on Valentin's head.
"Think about the swordsmanship taught to you by the Eternal One, and think more about conspiracies. I don't want to save you when you turn into an ice rabbit."
"You can't interfere in the affairs of this world, right?"
Valentine slapped away Jiao Zhengyu's hand on his head. Now he is no longer a man, and he would feel uncomfortable with Jiao Zhengyu's too intimate actions.
Not to mention that this guy actually wanted to pull the ears on his head just now.
"I can sell you the ability to indirectly complete the mission of saving people."
A complete profiteer speaks.
"No, I will save myself when the time comes. Let's keep the remaining Origin Stone and use it as a trump card."
Valentin simply rejected Jiao Zhengyu's "kindness".
"It's still early before dawn, and time flows very slowly in the mental space. Do you want to try other Valkyrie states?"
Not long ago, Kaku Zhengyu said that the ability of this three-bouncer can allow Valentine to freely transform into any Valkyrie and use their abilities. Considering the limitations of Yae Sakura's true fire spirit, Valentine He chose to stay here and continue his metamorphosis.
After a long period of experience, Valentine also better understood the ability of this three-bouncer. It doesn't take long to transform into other Valkyries. He just needs to decide in his mind which Valkyrie he wants to turn into and close his eyes and then open them again. Fu Hua is still so handsome and dashing, and Mei Yi’s Thunderbolt Valentine also likes it very much. Bu Langya also has a heavily armored bunny in the real world, and he can be summoned and hidden at will. He seems to have become a spiritual being behind his back. And she still moves suspended in the air just like in the game. Valentine likes this almost effortless way of walking, but unfortunately compared to other Valkyries, Bu Langya's speed is really slow.
After all, she doesn't have long legs.
The movement speed bonus of the open world is also reflected in the Valkyrie. Although considering practical reasons, all Valkyries have endurance limitations, but they can still maintain this high-speed travel for a long time, which also makes the beginning of Valentin, who was troubled by the problem of how to quickly reach the ruins of Checheng, saw a glimmer of hope.
Herrscher of Reason: Racing?
————————After a while of ping-pong-pong————
"call."
Valentin wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, returning to his original appearance. Jiao Zhengyu has left and also removed the mental space projection. Looking at the ruined warehouse in front of him, Valentine smiled awkwardly.
This was the result of when he just tested the Valkyrie's strength. This dilapidated warehouse finally couldn't bear the repeated blows and collapsed on the ground. Fortunately, it was turned into ruins before the mental space projection was removed, otherwise the sound would definitely wake up half the people in the slum.
"time to go."
He looked up at the dark night, pulled down his hood, blended into the darkness, and headed towards the city gate not far away.
