Durandal's embrace felt incredibly safe, especially when she rode her warhorse at full speed, the moonlight casting a silvery glow on her resolute profile.

Who is that raven among scum?

Sikong is not familiar with him.

Because he was sitting sideways on the horse's back, and Sikong was still lying in Durandal's arms, he could clearly see her face, even the fine, short, white hairs on it were clearly visible.

The two were too close...

Are you alright?

Durandal's delay caused her to completely lose sight of the raven, so she had no choice but to stop and inquire about its situation.

Sikong nodded, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing..."

Looking at Durandal so close to him.

Sikong was slightly stunned.

Durandal pointed to Sikong's knee: "Are you really alright? But the fire on your knee has already started..."

It would have been better if the other party hadn't said anything.

Upon hearing this, Sikong began to feel pain, let out a strange cry, and immediately pulled out the arrow.

Then it changed its form to restore its health.

Switching forms directly is certainly possible, but the arrow isn't expelled from the body quickly, so it's better to pull the object out manually.

"Everything's alright now." After saying that, Sikong asked, "Where's the raven?"

"Ran."

Durandal spoke calmly.

To avoid Otto thinking he was slacking off, Sikong quickly sat up and said, "Then let's hurry and catch up!"

Durandal did not refuse.

However, it's too late to catch up now.

Sikong, Durandal, and Rita, three S-rank individuals, searched the entire city but couldn't find Raven again. They had no idea where she had gone to hide.

The operation to capture the ravens was a failure.

It was clearly a golden opportunity.

The World Serpent had finally revealed a weakness, but the Destiny Organization failed to seize it, which made Otto feel somewhat uncomfortable. He was only one step away from success.

After the three S-class heroes reunited, it was already dawn.

The adorable little boy, Otto, appeared before Sikong for the first time.

Chapter 241 Slander

“This time… I’m a little disappointed in you.” Otto said, looking at Sikong. “Why were you so easily discovered by the raven, alerting them beforehand, and why were you shot down by an arrow?”

"Being shot down is bad enough, but the reaction time was so slow. If Durandal hadn't been there..."

Sikong knew that the cute little boy in front of him was Otto.

However, he didn't show that he knew the other person; instead, he feigned surprise and asked, "Who are you?"

Rita, knowing the other person's body, nodded slightly.

"Sikong, this is Lord Otto."

"Huh?" Sikong was stunned. He asked, "Lord Otto, this body of yours is...?"

"It's nothing, just a special ability."

“The body is just for easy carrying. This is the first time Sikong has encountered this situation. I understand that you are not aware of it, but now is not the time to talk about these things. I am questioning you.”

Otto put his hands on his hips and looked up slightly at Sikong.

When he was discovered by the enemy and hit by the raven, causing Durandal to retreat, Sikong knew that Otto would definitely hold him accountable, after all, he had indeed performed poorly.

“I can explain that, Lord Otto. Actually, I was proceeding very carefully, but... I don't know how, I was suddenly discovered…”

"As for the injury... I was distracted because I was worried about Lady Durandal, and I accidentally got shot by the raven. Rita should know that too, as we were communicating at the time..."

"As for why my reaction was slow... Lord Otto, the two Herrscher powers within me went out of balance the instant I was attacked by the raven. Although I tried my best to regulate them, there was simply too little time, and the raven's attack was too fast..."

Sikong repeatedly explained, trying to dispel the other party's doubts.

Otto looked at Rita and asked, "Is that so?"

"I did hear Sikong call out 'Lady Durandal' at that moment..."

Rita reported the facts truthfully.

In this operation, she was almost invisible, but she did contribute to the intelligence gathering. Of the three locations the other side found, one was indeed a raven's hideout.

However, the first person to encounter the raven was Sikong, who unsurprisingly failed miserably.

Until now.

Sikong had no idea how he had been exposed.

“Your Excellency, I don’t think we can blame Sikong for this. I just fought Raven, and he was very strong. If I didn’t have the Black Abyss White Flower in my hand, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to block that shot.” ​​Durandal pressed her chest. “Even with the Black Abyss White Flower, my body is still a little weak right now.”

“I didn’t mean anything by Little Rita and Sikong, but... if they had been hit by that shot... they would have died!”

Durandal looked serious.

Otto remained silent for a few seconds before speaking.

"That weapon is the Third Divine Key - Seven Thunders of Purification. After an attack like that is launched once, it will enter a recovery period, so there is no need to worry too much."

"However... I didn't expect Raven to be holding the Seven Thunders of Purification."

"The enemy's strength is indeed beyond Sikong's tolerance. It can't all be blamed on you... I also made mistakes."

Otto felt a chill run down his spine at the thought. If Raven had fired a shot at Sikong, the Destiny Organization's strongest experimental subject might have been gone.

After Durandal intervened.

Otto quickly gave up on continuing to hold Sikong accountable.

"This was an oversight in the Destiny Organization's intelligence; they wasted such a good opportunity..."

The key issue is that Otto also couldn't gather much intelligence about the World Snake Organization.

If it weren't for this encounter...

Otto probably didn't even know that the third Divine Key—the Seven Lightning of Purification—was in the other party's hands, so this wasn't entirely fruitless; at least they discovered the whereabouts of one Divine Key.

Furthermore, they tested Sikong's loyalty to the Destiny Organization.

Although I feel like I lost out a bit, it wasn't a huge loss.

“However… Sikong, you also need to improve your infiltration skills. As an S-rank, your performance just now was really terrible. Let Rita handle this.” Otto shook his head as he spoke. “Since we can’t find the hiding little mouse, we should go back now.”

"Yes, Lord Otto." X3

Durandal, Rita, and Sikong spoke together.

I tidied it up a bit.

The four of them returned to the headquarters of Destiny by plane.

On the other side...

The gray snake approached Yuno's clone and asked bluntly, "Snake, do you know something?"

After some time.

The gray snake made a rare entry into the Paradise of the Dead, all for the sake of a certain "woman".

"What? I don't understand what you're saying."

Yuno's clone sat on a soft sofa, with a cat-eared girl named Padofelis beside her.

And Ji Xuanyuan and Hei Xuanyuan.

Including Gray Snake, there are five people here.

There are very few heroes in the hall today; they must all be playing in the paradise of the past.

The gray snake stood motionless, its red eyes gleaming with an eerie light. The atmosphere was a bit off. Padofelis shrank back and said, "Well... you guys talk? I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

After the cat-eared girl finished speaking, she got up and ran off.

Padofelis disappeared before the teleportation anchor point.

Yuno's clone didn't stop the other party, but instead teased Gray Snake, "Gray Snake, you scared my friend away, shouldn't you make it up to me?"

Sikong knew that Gray Snake would definitely be suspicious.

Although he had temporarily resolved the issues with the Destiny Organization, the World Serpent was not to be underestimated either; the Grey Serpent was no simple opponent.

"Don't change the subject, Viper."

As Gray Serpent spoke, he turned his gaze to Ji Xuanyuan and Black Xuanyuan. If the Paradise of the Past hadn't brought him and Yuno's clone in with it, he probably wouldn't have known.

Yuno's clone always has two little followers hidden by her side.

Although these two lackeys are only B-level, it also proves one thing...

Yuno still harbors many secrets.

"Just recently, Raven was attacked by the Destiny Organization, led by Destiny's strongest S-class Valkyrie, Durandal, as well as S-class Valkyrie Rita and S-class Destiny Knight Sikong."

"Huh? Raven was attacked? And Sikong got involved? Interesting..." Yuno's clone propped her cheek with one hand. "But... Sikong's already become an S-rank Destiny Knight? Leveling up so fast, as expected of me..."

Yuno stopped halfway through her sentence, and helplessly spread her hands.

"So what are you trying to say? Gray Serpent... You can't possibly suspect me just because I had a phone call with Raven."

"I've stayed at the World Serpent headquarters the whole time and haven't left."

"If you make wild guesses, I might sue you for defamation!"

Yuno's clone looked relaxed.
