Their commission was suspicious.

As Kiana pondered these things, she slowly arrived at the place Chen Luo had mentioned where she would meet Siegfried. But just as Kiana was about to stop, she felt herself step on something and slipped.

"Smack!"

Kiana, who landed headfirst, immediately lost consciousness!

Yes, this is the consequence of not watching where you're going.

cough cough...

Although she might fall and hit her head if she steps on a pebble or something, Kiana's clumsy nature makes her immune to a lot of physical damage.

The main reason why she fainted after falling was probably because of the hooded man who slowly walked out of the woods with a small black ball floating in his hand.

Simply landing on the back of the head might not knock someone unconscious, but what if you add enough gravity?

The stronger the gravity applied to the other person, the greater the force applied to the back of their head. There is always a suitable amount that will make the other person just faint without causing them much harm.

Hooded South... no, Vayte slowly walked up to Kiana, who had fainted from a fall on flat ground. His fingers curled slightly, and the originally round black ball in his hand transformed into a black snake, coiling around Kiana as she slowly floated up.

Meanwhile, far away on the roof of Himeko's villa, Durandal slowly opened her eyes.

When Durandal opened her eyes, an extremely complex expression appeared in them.

Although she knew the answer in another world, Durandal was still somewhat confused when faced with all of this.

Durandal lowered her head, staring blankly at the wooden family portrait she was holding in her arms.

"Although he has recovered most of his memories, it seems that Chen Luo, that idiot, has only recovered the memories of his time with his father. He will have to ask his mother for help again to recover his memories of his mother." Yulandel poked little Chen Luo, who was perched on her head in the family photo, with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

I asked you to regain your memories of your time with your father, but I didn't say that you should only regain your memories of your time with your father.

Although Durandal was only a little over two years old when Cecilia passed away, she still remembers the times she spent with Siegfried when she was a child and had a little bit of consciousness.

But my mother's memories are truly gone.

The Law of Knowledge has gone a little too far in digging into memories.

But... the width seems a bit narrow.

At least one-tenth of that diary remains unopened.

Chapter 263 Siegfried: I am about to launch an awesome attack

After sitting in the moonlight and lost in thought for a while, Durandal jumped off the roof of the villa, landed lightly on the ground, and then walked into Himeko's villa.

"Durandal, where have you been?" Himeko asked after Durandal finally appeared.

"Where did you go? I was on the rooftop with Chen Luo the whole time. He helped me recall some things using a special method, but after I woke up, Chen Luo disappeared. He probably went back to the bar," said Durandal.

"When you recall things, are you in a state where you can't be disturbed?" Himeko instantly understood something.

"How did you know?" Durandal was taken aback.

"Because something happened just now."

"Something's happened? What happened?" Durandal exclaimed in surprise.

I only lost consciousness for a short period of time when my memories were being extracted, so why do I feel like I missed something?

“The underground of St. Freya Academy Cathedral has been invaded, most likely by Anti-Entropy. However, Theresa and Rita have already gone there, and I don’t have enough clearance, so I have to stay here. Check your communicator now; you might still find some emails,” Himeko explained.

After hearing Himeko's words, Durandal immediately opened her communicator and found a message from Otto, though it was sent several minutes ago.

"Understood, I'll go provide support right away." Durandal nodded and headed towards the place where Himeko's house stored weapons; Durandal's Black Abyss White Flower was still there.

Having Durandal with the Black Abyss White Flower is equivalent to... having Durandal with the Black Abyss White Flower.

How can this be explained? Durandal's combat strength is impossible to estimate because there is no suitable point of comparison.

Comparing Rita and Durandal, both S-rank Valkyries, is like Durandal, who could originally defeat Rita one-handed, now wielding the Black Abyss White Flower, still being able to easily defeat Rita one-handed...

If we compare it to the former S-class Valkyrie Theresa, I'm not sure if we should include the S-class Valkyrie Judah's Oath as well.

However, comparing Durandal to the complete version of Herrscher of Knowledge or Kevin would be unfair.

Therefore, whether or not the Black Abyss White Flower exists doesn't really have much of an impact on Durandal, unlike Theresa.

Basically, they are all virtually invincible.

This is true unless Kevin or the fully equipped Herrscher of Knowledge appears.

But just as Durandal had walked a short distance from the villa carrying the Black Abyss White Flower she had brought, she received a message that drew special attention.

Durandal only set up special notifications for 4 people.

One was naturally Bishop Otto, and the other was naturally Rita.

The last two are new additions: Kiana and Theresa.

Kiana needs no further explanation; she's their own daughter.

As for Theresa, she wasn't really on Durandal's special watchlist before. Durandal and Theresa had a good relationship, but not to that extent. However, after learning that Theresa was her aunt, Durandal quietly put Theresa on the special watchlist.

The reason Durandal frowned at this message was because it was sent by Kiana, who was in the Special Attention section.

The most crucial thing is the content inside.

Kiana: Save

Just one word.

A location was also sent along with it.

Durandal thought this might be an unfinished message, and that Kiana was probably in some kind of trouble.

But why would Kiana choose to notify herself?

Was it because of your strength in the training ground that you left a deep impression on your opponent?

This premonition reached its peak after Durandal discovered that the message had been quietly withdrawn.

After discovering that the message had been retracted, Durandal immediately saved the location that had not yet been retracted.

After hesitating for a moment, Durandal glanced back at the villa and church some distance away before running towards the location she was looking for.

As for the church incident, having two S-rank Valkyries, Rita and Theresa, should be enough to handle everything.

As for the people in the villa... to be honest, Durandal felt that if she couldn't handle it on her own, it wouldn't make a difference whether she brought others along or not.

Moreover, in such an emergency, there is simply no time to wait for others to catch up.

......

"I didn't realize how strong St. Freya Academy was, but it's definitely huge." Siegfried remarked on Schicksal's wealth as he ran quickly through the woods.

Siegfried hadn't realized how rich Schicksal was before because Siegfried himself was rich.

Siegfried was, after all, the heir to the Katlana family; it was impossible for him to be poor.

However, after escaping Fate with Kiana these past few years, they truly endured a long period of hardship.

"Sigh, I wonder how Kiana has been doing lately." Siegfried, the middle-aged man, became quite sentimental as he thought about the days he spent with Kiana that weren't exactly wealthy, but were definitely fun.

But when he thought that the real Kiana might still be alive, Siegfried's expression turned somber.

It's not nice to say this, but is it really possible for someone to fall from a height of several thousand meters and still survive? Siegfried himself found it unbelievable.

As expected of someone with the Kaslana bloodline, it's just outrageous.

When Siegfried thought of the Kaslana family, he couldn't help but recall the man he had once seen in the Soulsteel, the Kaslana family's ancestor—Kevin Kaslana.

"I heard that Kiana has made some good friends recently. It seems that she can live well even without me by her side. And with Theresa taking care of her, there's no need to worry about her safety."

Since Siegfried has not yet learned Kiana's true identity, he plans to visit Kiana first to see how she is doing, while also waiting for her to make her move.

After all, if we want to capture two Kianas, we must capture Kiana as well.

However, Siegfried still had to leave after seeing Kiana this time, because the longer Siegfried spent with Kiana, the more likely it was that the queen consciousness within Kiana would awaken.

"Bang!" Just as Siegfried was heading towards his destination according to the location on his communicator, a heavy thud sounded, instantly alerting him.

Siegfried quickly moved to the side with both feet, then cautiously looked around.

Then, under the bright moonlight, Siegfried saw the so-called heavy object.

A small, jet-black ball.

"That is it!" Siegfried's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the small, jet-black ball, as if he had remembered something.

"Pfft!" Just as Siegfried realized the seriousness of the situation, the small ball suddenly exploded, followed by a dull thud.

The force of gravity caused Siegfried, who was caught off guard, to stumble.

"Walter!" Siegfried exclaimed in surprise.

Siegfried fought alongside Welt before, so he knows Welt quite well, including his familiar gravity ability.

"No, it's not Walter. Although this gravity is strong, it's not comparable to Walter's gravity. It's a clone!" However, Siegfried quickly refuted his previous conclusion.

It is Walter, but not entirely.

Walter's gravity is terrifying; ten thousand times the normal gravity can simulate a black hole and swallow a person whole.

While the gravity Siegfried is currently experiencing is indeed very strong, it is still manageable for him.

Therefore, considering the information leaked by Einstein, the conclusion is self-evident.

“Come out, what are you hiding for?” Siegfried said calmly.

The moon was exceptionally round tonight, and without any clouds to obscure it, it illuminated the entire St. Freya Academy.

“I wasn’t hiding, it’s just that you didn’t see me, Mr. Siegfried. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, and you’ve finally come.” A deep laugh rang out, and a hooded man wearing a hood slowly emerged from the darkness hidden by the trees.

The moon is exceptionally bright, which not only makes unobstructed areas very bright, but also makes unobstructed areas less noticeable; this is what is known as the darkness under the lamp.

"Let me introduce myself, Mr. Siegfried. My name is Walter, a name you should be familiar with," Walter said, bowing politely with his hand on his chest.

"Ha, Walter? Don't make a fool of yourself. You're nothing more than a clone, a disposable clone created by Cocolia," Siegfried sneered.

Siegfried was not a foul-mouthed person, but sometimes language can become a weapon to attack others, reaching the point of killing someone's spirit, just like now.

Siegfried was not afraid of Walter. Although Siegfried only had one hand left, Siegfried with one hand was still Siegfried.

Although you can't use dual pistols with one hand, you can use a greatsword with the other.

I'm about to launch an awesome attack.

Anyway, these two dual pistols are just fusion materials, so what difference does it make how they're fused? They don't necessarily have to be held in both hands, as long as they're fused together, isn't that enough?

Siegfried, whose strength was equivalent to an S-class Valkyrie in his youth, was still confident that he could defeat a clone, even though he had lost an arm.

but......

Firstly, Siegfried was in a hurry to find Kiana and didn't have time to waste on her.

Secondly, since the other party was able to intercept me, it means that they must have come prepared.

Therefore, Siegfried would not hesitate to use verbal attacks to expose the opponent's weaknesses.

“Well, Mr. Siegfried, I agree with the first part of your statement. I am indeed a copy of Mr. Walter, and you can call me Walter. However, I cannot agree with the second part. It’s really not certain who abandoned whom.” Walter took off his hood, revealing a strange smile.

“I don’t have time to argue with you. If you’re willing to step aside, I can let you go.” Siegfried held the Judgment of Heavenly Fire in his hand.

Siegfried originally planned to kill his opponent when he made a mistake, but the opponent's politeness made Siegfried unsure whether to kill him or not.

"Oh dear, I know Mr. Siegfried has something urgent to attend to. If I'm not mistaken, he's probably going to see Kiana, right?"

Siegfried remained silent.

The other party was indeed prepared.

Is this another trick of that vixen Cocolia's?

Siegfried wasn't surprised that the other party knew he would come to St. Freya Academy, but he was surprised as to why he was being targeted.

They were also surprised that the other party had intercepted them in advance and knew their route.

“So, to avoid troubling you, Mr. Siegfried, I’ve brought Kiana to you.” Vayte snapped his fingers lightly, and Kiana, enveloped in a gravity ball, was lifted and flew out of the shadows.

"!!!" Siegfried instinctively pulled the trigger at Walter.

The powerful injection of Honkai energy directly transformed an ordinary shooting into a terrorist attack.

The explosion damaged the trees at the edge of the forest.

Kiana was unharmed thanks to the gravity ball, but the gravity ball still lingered, letting Siegfried know that things weren't over yet.
