I'll probably never forget you in my entire life, won't I?

-

The video ends here.

In the blink of an eye, Edelweiss's half-body suddenly vanished, replaced by Skykirk floating in mid-air.

The battle seemed to have just ended, yet it also felt as if it had never begun…

Wait, what's this?

If the scene of her cutting herself in two just now made Edelweiss realize Skork's talent and power...

This scene, which now appears as if "nothing has happened," horrified Edelweiss.

If you were to replace anyone else with this person, even any other demon from the world of Fallen Knights, probably no more than a handful would understand the current situation.

Only the world's top experts know what just happened, and Edelweiss is one of them.

What I just saw was an illusion.

But it is not an ordinary illusion, but an illusion that is infinitely close to reality, and even more so, an illusion that is infinitely close to the future!

With just a slight movement of a certain part of her body, Skork could make Edelweiss hallucinate that she had been killed...

Whether it was being cut in two from the abdomen or having both arms severed, it was all because Skirk moved her sword-wielding hand slightly!

This is technology!

Moreover, it is a technology that, like his own Twin Swords, transcends the realm of humanity, but is even more extravagant than his own Twin Swords!

So, in the next few seconds, Skykirk blinked, raised her hand, and even strands of her hair flew through the air…

No matter what the action was, each time it allowed Edelweiss to see his future of being killed, and each time it was different!

How to do?

The more Edelweiss was hit by such non-physical attacks, the greater the impact on him.

One of the prerequisites for becoming a demon is to understand oneself and have no wavering or doubt about the path one is pursuing.

In other words, the more unwavering a swordsman is, the more likely they are to become a demon!

Edelweiss is not just a demon, but a demon who has transcended to the next level, achieving a transcendent awakening, and has held the position of the world's strongest for more than a decade.

Logically speaking, Edelweiss should have been convinced of the path he was on and would have chosen to break through even the most difficult obstacles.

But now, Skykirk has used her immense strength and unparalleled skills to firmly cement the title of "world's strongest" in place.

Whenever Edelweiss had the idea of ​​attacking forward, Skyker only needed to move slightly to make her realize her impending death... and this could happen dozens of times in a row!

So, what should we do?

Edelweiss, who had never hesitated before, was now completely stuck in place, unable to move.

Even though Skykirk didn't use that technique that allowed her to "see" the future again, Edelweiss didn't dare to move an inch.

"Attack from above and use gravity to suppress the opponent... No, I'll be split in two vertically."

"Using the technique of a hidden sword to launch a sneak attack won't work... I'll have both my hands severed."

The two people did not actually clash, but their consciousnesses went through thousands of exchanges in those few seconds.

Because it is always Skylark who wins, Edelweiss will remain in place without making a move.

No!

No!

No!

Edelweiss continued to reject his next move, but to no avail.

"That means we'll have to use that one..."

A few seconds later, Edelweiss realized that Skykirk had set herself up in a dead end. No matter what choice she made, Skykirk would mercilessly kill her in the end.

Therefore, if Edelweiss wanted to change his fate of being killed, he had no choice but to use the power of the demon's destiny!

But the power of fate... she had already used it from the very beginning!

It's just a matter of how much is used; if too little of the power of fate is used, it will have no effect on the woman in front of her.

Therefore, if Edelweiss wants to change the future he just saw, he must use his most powerful "destiny" to smash the enemy in front of him to pieces!

"call!"

"Please advise me!"

After taking a deep breath, Edelweiss immediately raised Skykirk's danger level to the maximum. This woman before her was probably the most powerful woman she had ever encountered in her life!

Therefore, Edelweiss put aside his pride and stopped calling himself "the strongest in the world," instead treating his opponent as a pioneer on the path of swordsmanship.

Edelweiss took a step forward, passing directly through the non-existent demon gate, maximizing his awakening and even squeezing out every last drop of his potential…

All for the sake of unleashing the most powerful blow of my life!

Let this woman with the words of Silky take a good look. She is not the useless person who was cut in two in the hallucination just now!

Mirror Stream & Silky Knight: Chapter 38 Using the Abyss to Infect Fate

Skirk has not yet reached the level of a demon, but that does not hinder her perception of the things around her.

Especially when Skykirk uses the power of the Abyss, everything around becomes so obvious... because the Abyss is the power that erodes everything, even the heavens of Sky Island are affected by the power of the Abyss, let alone this world.

If Skykirk were to unleash the Abyss power within her, the world would be immediately affected by the Abyss, and what it would become then would be anyone's guess...

It'll only be worse than the situation in Teyvat!

However, right now, Skirk could sense something extremely subtle clinging to Edelweiss's people...

Ordinary blade-wielders would never be able to sense it, and only top experts like Skirk could detect that subtle change.

According to the setting of the Rakudai Kishi no Chika world, that tiny bit of something is probably the power of destiny that only the Demon Realm can use.

Demons throughout the world can use this power to change their fate and make things develop in the direction they want.

Of course, if the two demons clash and want to steer fate in two different directions, it will depend on who has a stronger grasp of the power of fate.

The winner takes all, and the loser dies without a burial place.

This is the impermanence of fate...

It started as a thin thread, but as Edelweiss gathered his power, the thread grew thicker and more numerous. This signified that Edelweiss was maximizing the power of his demonic abilities.

Skirk did not choose to interrupt him, because that was one of her purposes: to observe the power of the demon directly, and also the power of destiny that the demon possessed.

However, despite having observed the power of destiny, Skylark was never able to control it.

She could see fate converging on Edelweiss, but she couldn't channel that power into her own body...

"What should we do? Should we give it a try?"

Skirk had an idea: perhaps she could channel the power of destiny from Edelweiss into her own body, using only the power of the Abyss…

It will be eroded by the abyss, and then it will be used to repay itself.

Are we ignoring how the power of the abyss is used?

But that destiny is ultimately the power of Edelweiss's fate, and if Skyker insists on interfering, it will definitely have a serious impact on Edelweiss.

In that time, the world's strongest female swordsman might become a puppet of the abyss...

From a personal perspective, as long as one can obtain the power of destiny and become a demon, even killing Edelweiss would be worthwhile.

However, Skirk cannot do that…

Knowing that Edelweiss was a kind person, the last shred of kindness in Skork's heart prevented her from truly killing the swordsman.

It doesn't matter how many times you kill her in the illusion, but in reality... it's best not to do that!

"But we still have to try. Even if something really happens to her, I'm sure I can save her."

Her indifferent tone reflected Silky's self-confidence.

As long as they aren't too deeply affected by the power of the abyss, there's a possibility of being saved, or even gaining control of the abyss's power...

With Edelweiss's talent, he should be able to do it.

Boom boom boom—!

Just then, an increasingly intense sense of oppression emanated from Edelweiss, much like the world's highest peak, Edberg, with its biting winds and swirling snow.

It felt as if a towering peak piercing the sky had truly appeared before my eyes!

The forces of fate that had been surrounding Edelweiss transformed into a blizzard on a mountaintop, flying in droves toward Skykirk, who had already entered Edelweiss's domain.

That's right, it's the domain again!

When the sword intent is refined to a certain degree, it can influence those around you.

When a swordsman masters all the sword-wielding skills, he can naturally create his own little world.

That is, the domain!

It's a bit strange that a snow-capped mountain would appear in this world made of abyss...

But at least everything is moving in a positive direction!

The next moment, ripples appeared on Silky's hand...

Anyone who has seen Skykirk, besides being attracted by her cold and beautiful face, will notice that her limbs are almost entirely enveloped by an indescribable power, making it look like special effects.

Those familiar with Skykirk don't need to ask this question, and those who aren't familiar with her obviously aren't close enough to ask it.

Furthermore, Skykirk also possesses the pride of a strong person; not everyone is qualified to be on equal footing with her, and even in the simplest conversation, there is a clear difference in their abilities.

after all…

Skirk had long since lost her own limbs, which were replaced by organs made of abyssal power!

When instructing students at the academy, Skirk always made sure to control the power of the abyss and prevent it from erupting within the academy.

Over time, the habit had even allowed Skykirk's body to memorize how to control this power, but now…

In order to obtain the power of destiny, Skykirk decides to use the "Abyss" within her to influence Edelweiss's destiny, while doing everything possible to save his life.

The abyss on his hands began to spread, and the first thing affected was the one-handed sword Cangyao, which almost instantly lost its original luster and became like obsidian.

Then, Skirk's body was slowly enveloped by some dark and tiny special substances. Although they looked harmless, they contained the most essential "abyss".

"It's coming!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Edelweiss and Skykirk vanished from the spot.

Edelweiss aimed to kill Skorque, and poured all the power of destiny at his disposal into his unique spiritual armor. With the addition of the Twin Swords, the power of this strike was unimaginable.

If this were outside of this area, Edelweiss could probably easily destroy a city and all the surrounding areas.

As for Skirk, she gathered the power of the abyss into herself, ensuring Edelweiss's life while using the abyss to infect him as much as possible, all in order to obtain the power of destiny.

Ding--!

The instant the black and white light touched, everything around them vanished. Even the abyssal space created by Skork gradually dissolved…

A faint smile graced Skirk's face, for she knew she had succeeded. Fate had revealed its true nature to her, like a fiancée undressing, ready to unleash her power at any moment.

But Edelweiss, on the other hand, didn't look so good. Upon realizing her hands had lost all feeling, only two words flashed through Edelweiss's mind…

Finished!

Mirror Stream & Silky Knight: Chapter 39 Edelweiss... No Tragedy!

outside world.

As the Prime Minister of the Far East, after seeing Edelweiss being pulled into that unknown space by Silky, Moonshadow began to make arrangements for the people here, so that everyone could leave as quickly as possible.

Because he knew exactly what was going to happen next...

Although Moonshadow didn't know the extent of Skykirk's strength, it didn't affect his assessment of Edelweiss's abilities.

The title of "the world's strongest swordsman" is no joke; it was earned by Edelweiss through sheer hard work and battles!

Although Edelweiss was pulled into a special space, who knows if that space might suddenly be broken?
