"I'm telling you, two-on-one is uncivilized; proper people always solo!"
The youth expressionlessly drew his katana from his waist, tossing a glove towards Kiana, issuing a knight's duel invitation.
"The Kaslana Family is a family of knights, don't tarnish your family's reputation."
At her wit's end.
Kiana smiled sweetly, then drew a baseball bat from her waist, mercilessly rejecting Luo Su's duel invitation.
She couldn't wait to see Luo Su on his knees begging for mercy!!
"What era is this? Still acting like a traditional knight?"
However, whether it was a misconception or not, the moment those words fell, the young man opposite actually started to laugh.
What's going on?
A sense of dread suddenly surged into Kiana's heart.
"You're right, it's not the time to be a traditional knight anymore."
Luo Su smiled and waved his hand. The next instant, countless shadows emerged from all directions, and in sync with them was the uniform sound of gun bolts being pulled.
Kiana stiffly turned her head.
She was met with the Ghost Shadow Ninja's crimson eyes. The red was so conspicuous that Kiana instantly saw nearly a hundred pairs around her, and this group of red-eyed monsters were clearly not the low-intelligence zombies.
They generally carried submachine guns, machine guns, or were prone, aiming sniper rifles. Even more, some even had "Shame" tied to their heads and were strapped with satchels of explosives, ready to directly become human bombs… Kiana's expression froze.
She turned her head in another direction.
What she saw was Rita's equally stiff face.
She then looked at her former superior, who politely bowed and spoke.
"You go first, please."
The Ghost Shadow Soldiers beside them also put down their weapons, seemingly giving their two opponents a chance to strike first.
It's just—
Was this brief moment really necessary?
Kiana looked at the dark muzzles of the guns, falling silent.
After a long while, she looked at Luo Su, her eyes filled with hope.
"…Can we do a one-on-one?"
Chapter 52: Perhaps, this is a kind of confidence.
Inside Jackie Chan's Happy House, gun after gun, dark and hollow, were as dense as the motorcycle riding of the Third Brother.
Rita looked at those dark gun muzzles, feeling her heart turn completely cold.
Most of the S-Rank Valkyries of Schicksal were already beyond human.
If they were caught off guard, they would be mere mortals, and with better weapons, they might be killed.
However, once they activated Honkai energy to strengthen their bodies, then conventional weapons, excluding thermonuclear weapons, could at best cause superficial injuries.
The only way to deal with them was to have equally monstrous individuals, skilled in using Honkai energy to strengthen themselves, forcibly tear apart their bodies, dismembering them into shattered pieces, or to use equally unconventional Honkai energy weapons for an overwhelming strike.
But, unfortunately—
Our dear Miss Rita was one of the few S-Rank Valkyries who took damage from conventional weapons.
Miss Rita observed her surroundings, calculating the number of enemies.
And in this small Jackie Chan's Happy House, there were about a hundred snipers, three hundred carrying submachine guns, about a hundred suicide enthusiasts, and about three hundred carrying machine guns… completely exceeding her ability to cope.
It could be said that she was completely cornered.
She had overturned.
Perhaps, this was the most tragic development in this world.
Before showing off with her sister-in-law, she had been victorious in every battle. Even when facing enemies of similar strength, she could use her excellent stealth abilities to catch them at their weakest moment and kill them with one blow.
Today, she ran into the person whose abilities countered her the most.
An encirclement that would be instantly breached by any S-Rank Valkyrie other than herself.
Rita's mind, at this moment, became rapidly calm instead.
Luo Su's relationship with the Raiden Family was extremely close, and the Raiden Family was an important part of Anti-Entropy.
And Anti-Entropy's relationship with Schicksal was not good.
It's just that, since the disappearance of the Alliance Leader, Anti-Entropy had lost its qualifications to contend with Schicksal.
The executive named Cocolia had gathered most of Anti-Entropy's strength, yet she couldn't even withstand a single charge from Durandal.
The current Anti-Entropy had fallen into a second-rate organization.
Schicksal's database described this organization, which once gave Schicksal so many headaches, in this way.
This was also the reason Rita so brazenly brought Kiana to see the Raiden Family.
Anti-Entropy no longer had the ability to threaten Schicksal.
All of their combined forces might not even be able to defeat Durandal alone.
Theoretically speaking, the two of them were absolutely safe.
Because, if Anti-Entropy's people were clear-headed, they should know the price of attacking her and Kiana.
An enraged Durandal would send the remaining half of Anti-Entropy's assets to accompany Cocolia.
It's just—
Rita looked at the young man whose body was almost entirely hidden in the shadows. He was closely related to the Raiden Family, and without a doubt, he must also be a member of Anti-Entropy.
Rita took a deep breath.
Although she didn't know what was happening, Anti-Entropy seemed to have taken advantage of her underestimation and Kiana's relationship with Raiden Mei to ambush her… "...Is your ability space manipulation? A rather rare ability."
Rita silently sent out a special electrical signal, instructing her auxiliary weapon to release toxins and seeking help from the outside, while conversing with Luo Su.
This was a delaying tactic.
For the best show effect, she had only brought one set of armor, but that didn't mean she only had one set of armor she could use.
The current situation was clearly not suitable for a solo fight; she had to prepare for group combat.
The young man was patient and in no hurry, speaking very naturally.
"Miss Rita, your conjecture is completely wrong. I am not skilled in spatial abilities."
"The use of Shadow Realm is their skill; I can perform space-related operations, but it's thanks to them."
"I am a summoner."
That extremely composed attitude made Rita's heart sink.
Anyone who could become an Anti-Entropy executive was generally not a fool.
Even someone like Cocolia was a top-notch player when it came to internal conflicts.
Knowing that she was an S-Rank Valkyrie and could call upon nearby forces, yet still remaining so composed, it was hard not to suspect he had other arrangements… This was truly awful.
Rita's heart grew darker.
Could it be that she had to prepare to break through with Kiana herself?
Rita once again looked at her auxiliary equipment; that mechanical hound was her best partner. It could release a large amount of neurotoxin to paralyze enemies, buying her time to deal damage—
"Ghost Shadow Soldiers are essentially products of Yin energy. Well, they're not living beings at all, so they don't react to neurotoxins. For various reasons, I also don't react to toxins, so delaying here is useless, because no matter how much you delay, we won't be weakened by neurotoxins."
The young man said calmly.
"You and I are a bad match. Surrender. For Kiana's sake, nothing will be done to you."
Rita's pupils contracted sharply. How did this guy know about the Carbon-Based Hunter's situation?
There was a traitor within Schicksal?!
Thinking of this, even Rita's heart couldn't help but feel a chill.
If an S-Rank Valkyrie's armor information could be leaked, then how many moles were there within Schicksal?!
And why would Anti-Entropy be willing to expose so many moles just to capture her?
A strong sense of crisis, like an invisible claw, gripped Rita's heart, making it almost difficult for her to breathe.
Anti-Entropy, perhaps, was not as weak as Schicksal imagined, and might even have a huge conspiracy.
Thinking of this, Rita's expression couldn't help but take on a brilliance like a Diamond.
No matter what they were thinking, she had to stop them!!
"Lady Kiana, escape."
The maid conveyed the message with her lips.
"He is after me. Escape Chang Kong City and find Lady Durandal. I will cover your retreat."
Kiana looked at Rita in disbelief. She couldn't quite grasp the situation, but before she could even prepare to voice other questions, the maid named Rita had already grabbed her arm. Even if she was at the lower end of S-rank, Rita possessed astonishing strength. In almost an instant, the girl named Kiana was thrown out by her.
"Unrelated personnel have been cleared. Please begin your battle with me."
The girl gracefully bowed to the young man who controlled the shadows, her eyes as sharp as knives.
Even without the toxins, she was still an S-Rank Valkyrie!!
In response, the young man opposite was clearly stunned, a confused expression on his face as if he had encountered something incomprehensible.
Ah… Rita felt a blind spot, but before she could think it through, the young man had already drawn his chilling katana and attacked Rita. The woman named Rita retaliated with her scythe.
She wasn't good at head-on duels, but that didn't mean she couldn't deal with someone who was only A-rank—
"Skadi."
At the moment of their clash, the young man suddenly called out.
Miss Orca leaped from the sea of shadows, picked up a stool, and slammed it hard onto the back of Rita's head!
The invincible assassin lady staggered, trying to turn around, only to see a brand new stool flying towards her head… "Bang!!"
The invincible Miss Rita fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.
"Is there anything else I can help with?"
Miss Orca, having completed the ambush as agreed, clapped her hands, her expression as calm as ever.
In sync with her, a group of shadows also pressed a hapless Bai Mao Tuan Zi, walking from outside towards the house—the Shadow Legion knew Luo Su's target was Kiana, completely ignoring Rita and going straight for Kiana.
"No more."
Luo Su replied to Skadi, pulling the unconscious Rita from the ground, his expression a bit puzzled.
"Why did she think I was after her?"
He asked the prompter.
[Perhaps, this is a kind of confidence]
The prompter sighed.
Chapter 53: Still the same recipe, still the same taste.
If the end of life were a movie, then the current scene of herself would surely be a tragedy.
