K423 from Dark Souls

Under the influence of such terrible memories, Qiyana directly swung the big sword in her hand towards the huge treasure chest head of the treasure monster, and staggered the tall treasure monster.

When the monster was staggering, Qiyana continuously launched heavy blows to the monster one after another, causing the monster to be pierced through the core of its life before it could react, and turned into a mass of ashes.

And after the treasure monster was beheaded by Qiyana, a simple key that exuded fluctuations in magic power fell out of the ashes that the treasure monster turned into.

"key...?"

Chapter 14 Oceania Branch

"You should be the Valkyries sent by Master Teresa to hand over the files to me, welcome..."

Just as Mei and Bronya got off the aircraft, a middle-aged man in a white lab robe greeted them enthusiastically.

"You are the head of the Oceania Branch, Mr. Kedra, this is the information that Head Teresa gave you..."

Mei looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw the head of the Oceania Branch, Kedra Simon, who seemed to have a high evaluation among the Valkyries.

After seeing this middle-aged man with a kind smile on his face, Mei quickly walked up to him and handed him the file bag in his hand.

"Hahaha, that's the information..."

Kedra took the file bag in Mei's hand, then directly tore off the glove on his right hand, then tore open the seal of the bag, took out the file and glanced at it.

"Sister Mei, look at that hand..."

To Mei and Bronya's surprise, Minister Kedra's right hand was a silver metal prosthesis, while Kedra's right hand in the photo Delisa gave them was a normal hands.

Although Bronya had lowered her voice and reminded Mei in a low voice, Minister Kendra seemed to have heard Bronya's words.

"Oh, little girl, are you curious about my hand?"

Kedra stuffed the information back into the information bag, then stretched out the metal palm, shaking it in front of Bronya.

"My hand, no...it should be said this arm..."

As Kedra said, he opened the sleeve of his right arm with his left hand, revealing his arm that was also glowing with metallic luster under the sleeve.

"...This is when I was doing the experiment a year ago. There was an accident. This arm was completely eroded by the Honkai energy, so I just replaced it..."

Minister Kedra said, clenched his metal fist, then put down his sleeves again, and continued to speak to Bronya.

"...But this arm made of soul-imitating steel is quite useful for me, allowing me to directly touch my experimental objects as I like..."

"Okay, now that your mission has been completed, would you like to come and visit with me, where is the Oceania Branch..."

Minister Kedra turned his body slightly to make way for Mei and Bronya, then stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, inviting Mei and Bronya.

"...Sister Mei..."

Bronya looked at the smiling Minister Kedra, then stretched out her hand and tugged at the hem of Mei's clothes, whispering to remind Mei about Teresa's personal request.

"...Okay, sorry to trouble you, Minister Kedra..."

Mei stretched out her hand to hold Bronya's palm, then bowed slightly to thank Minister Kedra, and followed Minister Kedra.

Under the leadership of Minister Kendra, Mei and Bronya started their journey of understanding the Oceania branch.

"Hmm... this Valkyrie named Raiden Mei... The strength of the Houkai energy in her body is not weaker than that of Experimental No. [-]... Could it be..."

"...Moreover, beside the other Valkyrie, there are always traces of quantized fluctuations, which may be portable quantum technology..."

There is a large amount of data flowing in Minister Kedra's left eye. The analysis data of Mei and Bronya surprised Kedra.

"It's really a great gift for me... Dear Lady Teresa... These are all good research materials..."

-------

"Hmm... what's going on..."

Wendy suddenly felt a wonderful tingling sensation from her left leg, and Wendy was very surprised by the sudden strange feeling on her left leg.

You know, since that day, her legs have lost any feeling, let alone fighting, she can't even walk normally.

That failure made her supposed to become an S-rank Valkyrie, and she dreamed of becoming an S-rank Valkyrie. She lost her legs and could only rely on a wheelchair to move around.

"...my...my leg...it was just..."

Wendy stretched out her hand tremblingly, and gently pressed it on her pale and shriveled left leg, and when her slender palm was about to press it on her thigh, the sudden tingling sensation was just like its appearance, suddenly disappeared.

"...really..."

Wendy punched her leg violently. As always, her leg was still numb, as if the tingling feeling just now was all an illusion of hers.

"...Is it an illusion..."

------

"Sister Mei, what's wrong with you, your face looks very bad..."

Mei and Bronya followed Minister Kedra and led them into his personal laboratory.

At this moment, Mei suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation, and her heart suddenly seemed to stop for a moment, which made Mei's face turn pale.

"It's okay...it's probably because I've been a little tired recently..."

Mei stretched out her hand to cover her chest, forced a smile at Bronya, then reached out and touched Bronya's head.

"Oh? What's the matter? If you are uncomfortable, I'd better take you to the guest room in the branch to rest first."

Minister Kedra held a cylindrical metal part in his hand. After hearing their conversation, he turned to look at Mei with a little worry, and suggested to her.

"...ah, thank you...but no need, I feel better..."

Mei put down her hand covering her chest, and bowed slightly to Minister Kedra to express her gratitude. The palpitation just now had completely disappeared.

"Okay, then we'll..."

"Mr. Minister, do you know where Wendy is? Principal Teresa asked us to visit her..."

When Kedra intends to continue to take them to visit the branch so that he can observe Mei and Bronya.Bronya suddenly asked him.

"Wendy...that kid...of course I know..."

Kedra stroked her stubble-covered chin, and answered Bronya's question in the affirmative.Then he proposed to Mei and Bronya.

"...Since it's Lady Teresa's arrangement, I'll take you to find her now. I hope you can get along with her well..."

"Well, we will!"

PS

"...Sure enough, this key has exactly the same magic power fluctuations as the door that cannot be opened..."

Kiyana stood at the door of the amphitheatre, seriously feeling the magic fluctuations on this ancient key, and then came to a conclusion.

"Hmph, don't get too carried away, ants!"

Sirin's slightly dissatisfied voice suddenly sounded from Qiyana's mind, and she scolded her.

"If it wasn't for my reminder, mere ants, how could they think of this door..."

"...well, thanks for reminding me."

Kiyana nodded, and then sincerely expressed her thanks to Sirin.

"Hmph, this is more or less..."

After hearing Kiyana's thanks to her, Sirin muttered softly, then sank back into the depths of her consciousness, and continued to observe Kiyana's next actions.

"I don't know what will be behind this door..."

With some anticipation in her heart, Qiyana put the key on the door, then reached out and pushed the door open.And behind the door, what Kiyana saw was a ladder extending upwards.

"Ladder? Let's go up and have a look first!"

Qiyana climbed up the ladder without hesitation, and quickly climbed to the top of the ladder, the top of the tower-like building.

To Qiyana's surprise, at the top of the tower, there was an extremely tall figure, a giant wearing a thick armor.

At this moment, the giant was sitting cross-legged on the ground, earnestly carving the wooden block in his hand.

As if hearing the sound of Kiyana coming up, the giant stopped what he was doing and turned to look in Kiyana's direction.

Under Kiyana's vigilant eyes, a gentle but very rough voice came from the giant.

"Heh... It's really strange that someone would visit this place..."

Chapter 15 Perception

"..."

A strange feeling suddenly appeared in Aurora's heart, causing Aurora to tremble uncontrollably, and squeezed back Sirin who had just changed out to drink black tea.

"...Master Aurora, are you not satisfied with the temperature of this black tea? Rita sees that you don't seem to like this cup of tea very much..."

Rita held the teapot and asked Aurora, who was stunned there after taking a sip of black tea, and Kiyana quietly looked at Aurora whose expression suddenly became calm.

"...No, black tea is delicious, thank you, Miss Rita...just..."

Aurora lowered her head and glanced at the black tea in her hand in surprise, then drank the remaining black tea in the cup in one gulp, and replied to Rita.

"...I have a...uh...very weird feeling..."

Aurora covered her chest with her right hand in confusion, but at this time the strange feeling had disappeared without a trace, making Aurora a little confused about the situation.

"...Okay, would Master Aurora want another cup of black tea?"

Rita and Kiana, who was sitting next to Aurora, looked at each other, then looked at Aurora, and continued to ask her.

"...No need, Miss Rita, I need to leave now...Sister, I'll leave first...See you next time..."

Aurora rejected Rita, then stood up suddenly, said goodbye to Kiyana, and then stretched out her hand to open a gap in the space in front of her.

Aurora didn't wait for Qiyana and Rita to answer, she directly got into the space she opened, and entered the void.

"Master Kiyana, this is..."

Rita squinted her eyes, looked at Aurora who suddenly opened the space with her hands and used this to leave, and confirmed to Qiyana.

"Well, it's the second Herrscher, the manifestation of the power of the Herrscher of the Void. After all, Aurora now has the core of the Herrscher of the Void in her body."

"The Herrscher of the Sky... Well, Master Kiana, this secret is really..."
