Mei, clearly noticing Durandal's blissful smile, grew even colder, and the longsword in her hand crackled with lightning once more.

However, Durandal timely stopped reminiscing, keeping Mei's temperature at a level that was about to explode but couldn't:

"Unfortunately, our training session was interrupted before it could last long."

"Your good boss, Kevin, who now serves the World Serpent."

"You know what happened next. You personally beat up Kiana in Changkong City, then said goodbye to her and joined World Serpent."

"In comparison, what you did to Kiana was more egregious than what I did."

"..."

Faced with Durandal's teasing, which even carried a hint of reproach, Mei fell silent.

She sheathed the knife in her hand, turned her face away in silence, and never brought up the topic again.

………………

The scene ended there for the time being, and even Mei, who was in front of the light screen at St. Freya Academy, fell silent.

Although in the future, Durandal said that she stole Kiana and brought her back to Schicksal, judging from Durandal's words, she really went too far.

However, she doesn't think that bringing Kiana back to Schicksal is the right thing to do.

We've already seen Schicksal headquarters force Kiana to revive and become a Herrscher; at most, it can only be considered that Durandal was very kind to Kiana.

He allowed Kiana to recover from her injuries and helped her train. The strongest S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal was personally taught by Kiana, who was once only a B-rank Valkyrie and who could be resurrected as a Herrscher at any time.

It is both care and supervision.

If Durandal really is Kiana's older sister, then the happy smile on her face when she recalls that memory becomes understandable.

That wasn't some strange smile, nor was it the kind of affectionate smile one might expect.

As an older sister, what could be more heartwarming than being able to look after her younger sister and guide her to become stronger?

If Kiana and Durandal had never had any contact before, though the reason is unknown...

However, it is only natural that Durandal would be so kind to her sister whom she had not seen for many years.

This also explains Durandal's affectionate attitude towards Mei; it's basically like an older sister taking care of her younger sister's best friend.

From this perspective, the claim in the title that Durandal is Kiana's sister becomes more credible.

only……

Kiana and the others were still struggling to process what had happened, each wearing an expression of existential doubt.

………………

………………

On the other side, compared to the stunned and unable-to-digest crowd at St. Freya Academy...

Inside the World Serpent, the Night Owl, Jackal, and Raven looked at each other and fell silent.

The gray snake, emerging from the shadows, had its hands behind its back. Night Owl took two steps back, remaining silent.

"..."

"Night Owl, our capable officer, I never expected you to be like this..."

Faced with Gray Snake's hands behind his back, Night Owl's usually lazy expression finally showed a hint of panic, and a few drops of sweat trickled down his forehead.

However, he quickly offered a reasonable explanation—

"Our world's serpents also aim to become Herrschers, right? At most, I had an accident while rushing to the Honkai site..."

The owl's speculation seemed reasonable, causing the gray snake to stop in its tracks.

Although both Night Owl and Anna in the scene became Herrschers and even committed suicide together at the end of their lives, the causes and consequences are too vague.

Simply seeing Night Owl become a Herrscher doesn't prove anything.

Therefore, Gray Snake sheathed his blade and refrained from attacking Night Owl for the time being.

World Serpent still needs Night Owl's abilities; his global intelligence network is an important tool for World Serpent.

After the problem with the owl was resolved, their eyes all turned to Kevin.

After all, Durandal had mentioned Kevin's name.

Although it's unclear what happened in Sky City that caused Kiana to fall back into Schicksal's hands.

However, after Durandal abducted Kiana, it seems that Kevin, the leader of the world's snakes, went to fight alone, ambushed Schicksal, and stole Kiana...?

Kevin might not have succeeded either, since the information provided by the light screen was limited, and they didn't know whether Kiana had actually fallen into the hands of the World Serpent.

The scene depicting Kiana's growth also lacks information about the World Serpent. The only other glimpse is Kevin's fleeting figure when she is fighting desperately against Mei, who has become a Herrscher, in Changkong City.

Speaking of which, how many times has Destiny been ambushed?

Why didn't they call upon their subordinates to launch a surprise attack on Tianming?

Kevin, standing to the side, felt the gazes of his subordinates, but his cold face remained indifferent.

However, the seemingly cold words he uttered contained a hidden warmth:

"...Durandal is very strong, you will die if you go."

Kevin doesn't talk much, but his words are often insightful and to the point.

The World Serpent's executives all knew Kevin's cold demeanor, but when they heard him say something that was practically a direct insult to them, calling them "too weak," they couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their eyes.

Although Kevin's statement was somewhat cold and made them a little uncomfortable, there was no doubt that Kevin was right.

The way Durandal dealt with the Herrscher of Meteorite with such ease and the overwhelming power emanating from her on the screen made it clear that anyone who went there would only be torn to pieces by Durandal.

Only Kevin, this top-tier powerhouse with a mysterious background, is capable of going toe-to-toe with Durandal.

Faced with Kevin's seemingly cold yet considerate words, everyone could only manage a wry smile.

"...Our boss is so gentle."

While grateful for Kevin's "thoughtfulness," Raven really wished Kevin could take her with him when he launched his sneak attack.

She didn't know why, but this feeling welled up inside her, and she felt that this was a good opportunity to get close to Kiana.

Raven had a premonition that if the woman in the light screen knew that Kevin had almost stolen Kiana away, and that she hadn't gone with him, she would definitely regret it...

She didn't know why she was so determined to see Kiana, but it seemed... she and Kiana had a huge grudge to settle in the future?

Raven couldn't understand it either, as she had never had any interaction with Kiana before.

The raven was puzzled and could only soothe its twitching right eyelid.

Chapter 77 The Real Kiana

Raven didn't know why she had such a problem with Kiana.

The only possibility is that after Kiana became a Herrscher, World Serpent set its sights on her, and the two became enemies during the operation.

What deep-seated hatred could make the raven so bothered, even giving it a bad feeling beforehand?

She looked curiously at the light screen, hoping to find out the reason.

………………

Inside St. Freya Academy, Kiana was still processing the fact that "Durandal is her older sister."

Her older sister is the strongest S-rank Valkyrie in Schicksal, and her mother, Cecilia, was also once the strongest S-rank Valkyrie in Schicksal, so she...

Kiana felt the pressure seem to be falling on her.

If she fails to become the strongest S-class Valkyrie in the future, wouldn't that be a huge loss of face?

And Durandal's long, wavy blonde hair. Siegfried and Cecilia both have white hair, so why is Durandal's hair color completely different?

But there's another question in Kiana's mind—

If Durandal really is her sister, then why didn't she ever meet with her in the past?

Why did Durandal abandon Siegfried and Cecilia, and give up her original name to become the "Durandal" that Destiny passed down through generations?

In the light screen, Mei from the future says that Durandal took her to Schicksal in Sky City. Does this mean that she still serves Schicksal even after knowing the truth about Schicksal?

Kiana's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She longed to see her sister, whom she had never met, but she couldn't quite sort out her thoughts.

……

While Kiana was lost in thought, her aunt Theresa was sending messages to Cecilia and Siegfried, asking if they had seen the light screen.

Theresa hadn't expected that simply taking stock of her Far Eastern den of iniquity... oops! No, wait!

This is a list of all the Herrschers who have appeared in St. Freya Academy, and the unexpected discovery that the real Kiana is Durandal is such a wonderful surprise!

Although six Herrschers have now been identified at St. Freya Academy, Theresa doesn't know how to clear her name anymore...

But the focus now is clearly on Durandal!

Inheriting both the Schariac family's exceptional control over Honkai energy and the Kaslana family's strong resistance to it, the true terrifying nature of Kiana's talent is evident.

Durandal's deeds undoubtedly prove this point. Whether it is becoming the youngest A-rank Valkyrie in history or becoming the strongest S-rank Valkyrie of today, it all demonstrates Durandal's talent!

Theresa was only amazed at where Durandal came from, never imagining that she was Siegfried and Cecilia's real daughter, whom they had unfortunately lost while escaping Fate!

Theresa shared the same question as Kiana: Durandal's hair color.

However, because she was the former S-class Valkyrie of Schicksal and also Otto's beloved granddaughter, she possessed a lot of information that had not yet been made public, so she had a general idea...

………………

Cecilia and Siegfried received a message from Theresa, but were too shocked to reply.

Siegfried and Cecilia stared at Durandal's powerful figure reflected on the screen, their eyes trembling. The features of Durandal in their reflection looked strikingly similar to their own.

Her figure was as strong, confident, and elegant as Cecilia's, and her face was almost as beautiful as Cecilia's.

While most of her beauty was inherited from Cecilia, Durandal clearly also inherited Siegfried's genes—

That is Durandal's extremely strong resistance to Honkai energy in the light curtain. Her leisurely attitude when facing the Herrscher means that even the massive amount of Honkai energy at the Herrscher level cannot affect Durandal!
