A foreigner's journey

The deep underground passage was filled with residual pus and body parts, making it a mess.

When everyone saw this scene, the scene of an extremely huge slime monster immediately emerged in their minds, hugging all the creatures it had previously devoured, struggling to squeeze out of the passage, and rushing towards the bottom of the holy tree.

They didn't speak, and there was no point in saying anything more at this moment.

The female warriors stepped on the slime tunnel, holding torches and walking towards the bottom of the deep and dark sacred tree.

As they went deeper and deeper, some butterflies shining with scarlet fluorescence began to appear in the dark space around them.

This is the symbol of scarlet corruption, the Corruption Butterfly.

As long as you don't touch these butterflies and don't let them shatter, the bloom of scarlet corruption will not be triggered. Everyone carefully avoided the butterfly and continued down.

After walking in the dark and smelly passage for an unknown amount of time, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

A spacious corridor appeared in front of it, which was entangled and occupied by rotting tree roots. There was a door on both sides of the corridor, but it was completely blocked by tree roots.

Go all the way down the steps of the corridor, and at the deepest point is a door leading to nowhere.

Millicent looked at her companions and shook her head slightly.

The Night Maid Group and Loretta immediately understood what she meant. Millicent was going to fight the Valkyrie one-on-one.

They nodded and stood silently waiting for Millicent's triumphant return. This is the most important step on Millicent's road to becoming a king, and no one can replace her.

Tread...tap...tread...

Millicent walked down the steps, crossed the cloister, and opened the door.

What comes into view is a huge underground cavity, which is the root area of ​​Michaela's sacred tree. The dome of the cavity is occupied by countless entangled huge tree roots.

There are a large number of rotten flowers growing on the roots of the trees, rotten butterflies dancing in the air, and the ground is covered by a sea of ​​flowers all over the mountains and plains.

Millicent had no time to appreciate this strange beauty, but focused on the figure under the tree roots.

It was a tall red-haired woman about two meters tall. She lowered her head and could not see her face. Her right arm was empty. Both feet were replaced by beautifully crafted prosthetics made entirely of pure gold. Only her left arm was intact. . But the surface of his left arm was wrapped with a black cloth soaked in blood and rot, and the exposed skin was covered with rot scars and scaly silver shavings.

She is the strongest swordsman in the border area, the invincible Valkyrie Marlenia.

Millicent didn't speak, she just looked quietly at the Valkyrie who was most likely her own body.

Suddenly, the Valkyrie with her head lowered moved and slowly raised her head. Her nose and mouth can still be seen as a mixture of beauty and heroism, but the positions of her eyes are covered with horrific rotting scars. She had long since been blinded by the erosion of scarlet corruption.

But Millicent could feel that the other party was 'looking' at her.

"...In the end, it was you who came to me."

The Valkyrie's voice was different from Millicent's softness, but filled with the sharpness and deepness of a swordsman:

"First meeting, my...daughter."

"Daughter...heh."

Millicent put her hand on the handle of the knife at her waist and said softly:

“I thought I would have a lot of questions when I met you, such as ‘What am I?’ ‘How do you view my relationship with you?’ and so on.

But now when I actually see you, I realize that these questions are not important at all.

I am not you, Millicent is not Marlenia, I just need to confirm this is enough. "

As she spoke, her eyes gradually became extremely firm.

Marlenia picked up the Valkyrie prosthetic hand at her feet and connected it to her right shoulder with a click. The fingers of the prosthetic hand moved slightly.

This is a prosthetic hand made for her by her brother Michaela using pure gold that can inhibit scarlet corruption. Malenia regards it as a treasure.

"It seems the Selector taught you well, Millicent.

So far, all the other split personality fragments have returned to my body, and only you are left. "

She picked up the pure gold flying wing helmet and put it on her head, and her tone became cold:

"Presumably the fighting spirit ignited in your heart should be as strong as mine, right?

We are swordsmen, we are blades, it is enough to understand this. "

Clang! The Valkyrie's prosthetic hand popped out a long golden sword, which was her invincible flying wings and the holy sword that would never withstand corruption - Marlenia's prosthetic hand sword.

On the opposite side, Millicent also pulled out the sword with a clang, and strong spiritual pressure began to condense on the blade.

"My name is Marlenia, Michaela's blade."

Marlenia lowered her body slightly.

"My name is Millicent, Heather's sword."

Millicent raised one hand to her side and struck lightly, lifting her toes slightly.

The next moment, the two people rushed towards each other at the same time, waving the sharp blades in their hands, and different but extremely similar voices sounded at the same moment in this large underground cavity——

"This is the reason why I am invincible!"

Clang! !

The shallow strike and the prosthetic knife collided fiercely, causing fierce sparks to burst out.

The power of scarlet corruption immediately spread along the prosthetic hand knife toward Qian Da, and she wanted to directly corrode Millicent's weapon.

However, the Qianda blade immediately turned into a dark metallic color, and all the scarlet corruption power clinging to the surface of the Qianda blade immediately exploded.

Domineering!

Marlenia turned the prosthetic knife over without hesitation, and her body began to spin at the same time.

The water bird dances wildly!

As expected of one of the top 9-level world fighters, the Valkyrie brought up a tornado of sharp blades like a violent hurricane with just one turn.

Large pieces of tree roots and the ground were shattered by the storm, and countless broken petals flew helplessly in the air.

But this Water Bird Dance did not hit Millicent at all.

The Valkyrie immediately flipped up the prosthetic knife to block behind her shoulder. Almost at the same time, the red crystal blade slashed the blade of the prosthetic knife fiercely, and a scarlet five-petal tattoo appeared in the middle of Marenia's collarbone.

At the moment when the Valkyrie launched the attack, Millicent directly released her Zanpakutō and used the Six Styles·Shave to teleport to a safe area in the sky, avoiding the first wave of attacks, and then pounced on the Valkyrie from top to bottom.

At present, it seems that the Valkyrie can have an overview of the battlefield even if she can't see. It seems that blindness has made her lose her visual blind spot during the battle. Is it through air flow fluctuations to sense the opponent's movements?

"I ate the three Mary sisters, and I know the strangeness of the long sword in your hand."

When the Zanpakutō and the prosthetic sword wrestled, Marenia said in a low voice:

"Want to draw blood? Go ahead, provided that you can still control the blood as you wish..."

As soon as the voice fell, Millicent's body stiffened slightly, and she immediately withdrew her strength and jumped back. She found that the blood of Marenia collected by the 'Demon Red Flower' contained extremely terrifying scarlet corrupt power, and this blood was frantically corroding the Zanpakutō Kirara Flower.

She had to use the third color of the 'Suzukin Flower' to purify the blood, and this would take a little time.

The Valkyrie Marenia, who had experienced hundreds of battles, would not leave Millicent a chance. She waved the prosthetic sword without hesitation and slashed several sharp and unmatched slashing waves at the retreating Millicent, and then the whole person turned into a phantom and quickly followed the slashing waves, chasing Millicent.

Millicent's sword could not be swung for the time being, this was a great opportunity

Seeing the Valkyrie coming fiercely, Millicent was not panicked at all. She held her Zanpakutō with her backhand and kicked her long right leg hard in the air several times. The violent vacuum wave quickly formed and expanded into a huge crescent-shaped scimitar, slashing towards the Valkyrie and her vacuum wave.

[Razykage·Ghoul Narcissus]!

Seeing this, the Valkyrie immediately waved her prosthetic knife and spun at high speed.

[Water Bird Dance Two-stage]!

This time it was no longer a storm of sharp blades, but a sharp and fierce slash like a piercing bird beak.

The next moment, the attacks of both sides collided heavily!
