Dorothy sat in her room, waiting intently for the system's exchange result.
Through the information channel opened by the system, Dorothy received the secret transmission sacrifice from an unknown believer far away. Without even looking at it, she used the system to exchange knowledge. After a while, the exchange result came out.
'Sword Technique - Light Swift Strike Sword, exchanged for Laulent Sword Technique.'
The system's response surfaced in Dorothy's mind. Hearing this voice, she was slightly startled and immediately thought of the origin of the exchanged item.
Laulent Sword Technique comes from the famous Laulent family's inherited sword technique in Demacia in the game League of Legends. It is a deadly killing technique on the dueling ground, embodied by the Demacian hero, the Unparalleled Blade Fiora in League of Legends.
"Sword technique... exchanged for a sword technique? Heh, that's good too, it's perfect for dealing with enemies..."
Whispering, Dorothy immediately bestowed the exchanged knowledge back through the information channel, engraving the Book of Souls for the anxiously waiting believer there, allowing the other party to immediately master this knowledge.
...
In the tomb chamber beneath the small Church in Red Creek Town, Vanya stared blankly at the secret transmission that had disintegrated into ash before her, an expression of astonishment on her face.
'Captain Deekt's secret transmission... turned into ash... This, was this sacrifice successful or a failure?'
Vanya thought uneasily. However, just then, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her consciousness, and then unfamiliar information flooded into her mind all at once.
"Hmm... this is..."
Covering her forehead, Vanya said with a frown. She could clearly perceive what the unfamiliar information flooding into her mind was.
Footwork, stance, technique, parrying, attacking... various key points, various skills, proficient experience. Vanya was astonished to find that she had now mastered a profound and essential sword skill without a teacher.
This phenomenon, Vanya had seen a term explained in the Holy Scripture.
"This is... divine enlightenment? Lord... is this your divine enlightenment to me? Do you mean... for me to use this to fend off the enemy?" After this miraculous experience, Vanya no longer doubted the other party's identity as a god. Now, she finally had hope of escaping.
"This divine enlightenment is a sword technique... First... first, I need a sword. There must be a sword buried with Captain Deekt in his tomb chamber!"
Vanya hurriedly looked around, trying to find a sword. Vanya studied history, and she knew that "Swift Light Sword" Deekt, also known as the Sword Saint Bishop and Duel Master, from three hundred years ago, would not have been buried without a sword in his tomb chamber.
As expected, after looking around, Vanya saw a sharp sword hanging on a high wall display board. Vanya immediately ran to the wall to try and get it, but unfortunately, she wasn't tall enough.
Vanya had no choice but to move a box from the side and stand on it, tiptoeing, to barely reach the sword on the display board. But just as she touched the sword, her anxious and careless movement caused her foot to slip, and she accidentally fell down. However, the sword she touched was also brought down with her, clattering onto the ground.
'Hmm... so painful... Ah! Is the sword okay! Don't break the artifact!'
Ignoring the pain from the fall, Vanya quickly got up and went to check if the sword was broken. Fortunately, there were no obvious signs of damage.
'Phew... that's good...'
"Who's there!!"
At this moment, a stern shout came from the next room. It was clear that the noise had alerted the people outside, and then there was a rapid sound of footsteps approaching.
'They're coming!'
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Vanya immediately picked up the sword from the ground. The moment she grasped the sword, she immediately triggered the experience and memory engraved deep in her soul. She unconsciously straightened her body, held the sword in one hand pointing forward, and directly assumed a standard dueling stance.
This was the memory of the soul...
A masked man in a white robe, holding a one-handed hammer, entered the side chamber and saw Vanya holding a sword pointed at him.
Compared to the standard, Vanya's face was full of panic, completely lacking the composure and calmness a duel master should have.
"There's still a blasphemer who got away!"
Seeing Vanya in a Sister's habit in the side chamber, the masked man in the white robe picked up the one-handed hammer in his hand and rushed forward, swinging it at Vanya. In his eyes, Vanya's panicked expression was completely unlike a warrior, more like a non-combatant who had picked up a weapon in a panic to defend herself.
However, what he didn't notice was that although Vanya's expression was so panicked that she looked like she was about to cry, the hand holding the weapon didn't tremble at all, and the stance she assumed was perfectly standard...
The one-handed iron hammer swung with a whooshing sound, and the masked man in the white robe swung it directly at Vanya's head. Although Vanya's heart was in a panic and she didn't know what to do as she watched the incoming attack, the muscle memory engraved through the soul moved before her conscious memory.
With a subtle side step, Vanya dodged the white-robed man's attack, and then her eyes widened, catching the wide-open vulnerability of the white-robed man.
'I saw it... this is the opportunity!'
Vanya adjusted her steps slightly, her body turning slightly to instantly position herself optimally, and then, with practiced experience, she thrust forward, directly piercing the white-robed man's throat with one strike.
"What..."
With wide eyes, the white-robed man fell down with an expression of astonishment. Looking at the fallen man, Vanya's heart couldn't help but surge with emotion.
'He, he's dead! I won? I killed someone!?'
"Mark, what's the situation inside!"
Just then, another white-robed man, hearing that something was wrong with the sound, also entered the side chamber. What he saw was his falling companion and Vanya holding a blood-stained sword. Realizing the situation was not right, he immediately drew the pistol from his waist and pointed it at Vanya.
"Die! Blasphemer!"
The white-robed man wanted to shoot Vanya, but guided by the combat experience imprinted in her soul, Vanya had already sensed the danger and acted first.
She consumed the Light Spirituality within her body, activating the core key technique of the Laulent Sword Technique.
Heart Eye...
At this moment, Vanya's thoughts began to expand. She felt time start to slow down and was able to perceive in 360 degrees.
She sensed the danger from the gun barrel. Heart Eye drew the trajectory of the bullet exiting the barrel for her, and then... she swung her blade in advance.
"Bang!"
The white-robed man pulled the trigger, firing the pistol in his hand. The bullet shot out from the muzzle flash, flying towards Vanya. However, it hit not flesh and blood, but steel.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound like striking iron echoed in the space. Guided by experience and Heart Eye, Vanya directly blocked the incoming bullet with the blade in her hand. The bullet was deflected back at a miraculous angle, bounced off the wall, and ricocheted into the white-robed man's body.
With the enhancement of Heart Eye, which consumed Spirituality, Vanya used the ultimate technique of the Laulent Sword Technique, Laulent Heart Eye Slash.

There was a typo in the previously exchanged item, now corrected.
