Things about the female knight in black stockings

"How can it still be like this?"

After getting a general idea of ​​the situation, Valensa was amazed by Tia's actions.

But there was no time for further surprise or discussion, because the Sinful Angels launched another offensive, and the Moon-level powerhouse who had gained the power of a false god could not be defeated with a single punch.

The hurricane howled, the storm spun, uprooted trees that could be embraced by two arms, and swept up the ruins of Cloud Hidden Ridge into the air, forming a huge tornado that connected heaven and earth.

Inside the tornado, a blonde, nun-like angel of sin hovered in the air, a cold smile on her face, controlling this man-made catastrophe, powerful enough to destroy cities and towns, as it moved towards Valensa and Tia.

The tornado wasn't moving very fast, and Valensa was definitely fast enough to get Tia far away before the storm hit.

But you can't hide.

Not far behind them were the villages and towns of Ruler Island. Although many adventurers came here to try their luck, very few were truly strong. If the Sin Angel's tornado swept through like this, no more than one percent of the survivors in the affected villages and towns would survive.

Clearly, the Sinful Angel had taken this into account, which is why it used this slow but powerful magic to force Valensa and Tia into a direct confrontation.

The cataclysmic storm that would sweep away everything and tear apart all things was drawing ever closer. Valensa was on edge, while Tia remained relaxed and confident.

"Just go and beat her up... in your favorite way, and leave the rest to me."

"……it is good."

Valensa didn't know what methods Tia would use, but she chose to believe her.

Bang!

With a sonic boom, Valencia leaped into the air, punching the tornado that was a thousand meters high head-on. The reaction force from her boots caused the ground to crack and collapse.

This punch was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, but the Sinful Angel was well prepared, hiding in the tornado to gather magic power, waiting for Valensa to forcefully break through the storm before giving her a thunderous blow.

That's how it should be.

However, everything suddenly came to a standstill, even the storm stopped, but Valensa, leaping and punching, charged forward and instantly appeared before the Sinful Angel.

Snapped!

Valensa was still completely unaware of what had just happened... In her mind's eye, she had just bounced up from the ground and the face of the Sin Angel had appeared before her.

Somewhat surprised, but that doesn't stop the fist from fulfilling its duty.

The angel of sin, along with the frozen smile on her face, was struck hard by Valensa's fist, and she was slammed into the ground like a volleyball being spiked, raising a cloud of dust.

Although man-made natural disasters can destroy cities and towns, they are not true natural phenomena. Once the magic power is lost, they cannot continue. The power of the huge tornado weakens rapidly, and the sand, gravel, vegetation, and building debris swept up from the sky fall to the ground like raindrops.

"You...what exactly did you do?"

The angel of sin quickly floated back into the air, her nose collapsed, her face covered in blood, and all her front teeth gone. Her stunning beauty had been completely destroyed by Valensa's punch.

But in just a few seconds, the blood that had flowed out flowed back in, the fallen front tooth flew back into the mouth, the collapsed bridge of the nose rose again, and beauty returned.

False god's power. Time reversal.

Why don't you take a guess?

Tia clearly didn't want to waste words with the Sin Angel, and responded provocatively before pointing her finger at the Sin Angel again.

Valensa, who had already returned to Tia's back, immediately sprang forward, wielding a cross-handled lightsaber with a blade enhanced by the power of the Sunfire God, with the Six Flower Floating Cannon charging above her head, and the power of the evil god gathering on her two long black-stockinged legs.

Valensa didn't know what magic Tia had used, but she knew that it was enough that it could counteract the power of time.

In this way, Valensa no longer has to risk losing control by immersing her body in the instincts of the evil god, and can return to her normal fighting style, using a variety of powers to attack.

"……cut."

In their previous encounters, the Sinful Angel was well aware that her wind magic had no significant advantage over Valensa, and the only way to suppress her was through the power of a false god.

So despite being quite concerned about Tia's bizarre magic, the Sinful Angel still chose to use her power to firmly hold Valensa, who was rushing towards her, and even the solar flare stopped in mid-air like mercury.

But soon, with a strange magical fluctuation emanating from Tia, Valensa, who should have remained motionless in this frozen spacetime, moved again, instantly appearing in front of the Sin Angel and slashing with her sword.

However, the Sinful Angel was prepared this time, using a metal staff that was clearly not an ordinary object to block the lightsaber's blade, intending to clash with Valensa on the spot.

Valensa, however, did not want to engage in a sword fight. Her lightsaber slash was merely a feint, appearing powerful but actually lacking in strength. She simply tapped the metal cane with the blade and quickly deflected it, leaning back to sweep her black-stockinged legs horizontally, while simultaneously clearing a path for the solar ray behind her.

"Varied……"

The Sin Angel seemed shocked again. First, she was hit in the face by the Sunfire Ray, the scorching light burning her into a skull. Then, her black-stockinged legs swept across her waist like iron whips, kicking her into a spinning top in mid-air.

Valensa didn't know what was going on either, but it didn't matter; she just had to keep chasing after them relentlessly.

Brush brush!

The cross-shaped lightsaber's blades crisscrossed, mercilessly slicing through the body of the Sin Angel, cutting flesh and bone into pieces.

At the same time, the Six-Flower Floating Blade completed the construction of the divine magic array in the air, and a thick, scorching Yang Flame Blaze descended from the sky.

The power is not much different from the fully charged attack that killed the centipede crab, but the diameter of the beam cannon is still more than one meter, enough to completely evaporate a person's flesh and blood!

Valensa only stopped and gasped for breath when she could no longer see any trace of the Sin Angel... She should be dead by now, right?

However, Tia's voice immediately came from behind:

"Don't let your guard down, she's not dead yet! The power of time is still intact!"

What?

Not even dead?

Valensa didn't want to believe it, but she immediately stepped back and composed herself.

Sure enough, Tia was right again.

Even though the Sin Angel's body had clearly turned to ashes and disappeared, the power of time took effect again, and everything returned to before Valensa's attack... Time flowed backward once more.

Seriously... if someone can revive at full health on the spot, what's the point of fighting?

Valensa smiled bitterly to herself.

But soon, Valensa discovered that the combo she had just used was not entirely useless... The Sin Angel's body had indeed been resurrected, but his complexion and aura were much worse.

After all, she is just a false god, and using her powers also consumes energy... Most importantly, the Sin Angel currently has no fixed followers and cannot absorb the power of faith to replenish herself. As long as we deplete the divine power she currently possesses, we can definitely kill her completely!

Then there's no point in hesitating, let's keep fighting!

"Keep it up, my darling Tia, she'll die eventually if you keep killing her!"

Valensa shouted and swung her sword to attack again.

This time, however, Valensa was frozen in place as soon as she raised her sword. Everything around her was unaffected, and time continued to flow normally. Only Valensa herself was frozen in time.

“…As expected.”

He stared at Valensa intently for several seconds, and seeing that Valensa was unable to move, the Sinful Angel finally breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Tia with a smug expression:

“I’ve seen through your tricks, you little witch.”

The magic of wind began to gather once more in the Sin Angel's hand, but the Sin Angel ignored Valensa and walked directly towards Tia:

"I almost fell for your trick... What do you mean by saying that the power to control time is actually your magic? That's quite a psychological tactic, but unfortunately I still saw through it."

"At first, I really thought your time magic surpassed my time power, but that's not true at all... Rather, it's precisely because I have time power that I was deceived by you."

“I know the secret arts of your Bretania family. Compared to manipulation, you are better at linking... So the true nature of your time magic is actually linking to the future, jumping directly from the present to the future... Time jump, is that right?”

"The few seconds that are skipped are imperceptible to ordinary life forms, even those with the bloodline of an evil god or the favor of a true god. Only those like you and me... who have gained the power of time or whose souls are directly linked to the River of Time can sense it."

"But it was just a feeling. No one can interfere with the time jump. Even I couldn't move during those few seconds, so I had the illusion that you used magic to stop my time during my time stop."

"Actually, you can't stop time at all, you can only jump through time... and using time jump directly must take a lot of energy from you, right?"

"Although I don't know how you suddenly became so troublesome, this power couldn't have been fully obtained by you all at once... It must be temporary, used little by little, which is why you are so economical, always activating time jump only after I activate time stop."

Clap clap clap.

The angel of sin clapped as he spoke, sparing no praise for Tia:

"A brilliant idea... When I activate time stop, you can activate time jump without paying the price of forcibly defying the laws of the world. Because you don't need to use time jump itself to attack me, you only need to skip the time I stopped, and your evil holy knight companions will be enough to beat me up."

“Wonderful… Absolutely wonderful… I’m almost 4000 years old this year, and I’ve lived on three planets. There are definitely no more than 10 enemies who deserve such praise.”

"But it's just a trick after all... If you were to perfectly master this power in 20 years, you might actually be able to kill me... But you'll have no chance then!"

The magic of wind was fully condensed, transforming into a giant wind cone in front of the Sin Angel.

"Like now... if I don't use a large-scale time stop, but instead focus solely on suppressing your companion's consciousness while attacking you with wind magic, how would you respond?"

The wind spikes roared forth, accompanied by the mockery and fury of the Sin Angel, aiming to tear Tia apart.

Tia didn't respond to the angel of sin's taunts.

Because Tia knew very well that most of the Sinful Angel's guesses were correct... She was currently only in the trial state of the Time Witch, and the duration was closely related to her remaining magic power.

Faced with this wind cone attack, whose power could sink a ship of ten thousand tons, Tia could certainly block it with the magic defense of the Time Witch, but it would also greatly consume the duration of the Time Witch state.

If the Sinful Angel comes a few more times, Tia will forcibly lose her status as the Witch of Time and will no longer be able to interfere with the power of time.

Therefore, the Time Witch's own power cannot be used to fight against the Sin Angel's wind magic; other methods must be used to deal with the wind magic attack.

Is there any way?

There really is.

Just as the wind cone was about to strike Tia, a person who should have been frozen by the power of time suddenly raised a shield and blocked Tia's path.

Bang!

The wind cone struck the round shield with a deafening roar, like two trains colliding head-on, knocking the shield-bearer and Tia back dozens of meters... but the wind cone was ultimately blocked, and Tia was unharmed.

"Ok?"

The Sin Angel looked utterly surprised again, staring intently into Valensa's unfocused eyes, his tone filled with disbelief:

"This is impossible! I clearly used the power of illusion to completely freeze her consciousness. She should be nothing more than a puppet now, so why can she still fight?"

"Of course it's because she loves me."

Tia gave a boastful snort, and Valensa charged forward again, swinging her sword at the head of the Sin Angel.

"...Impossible...This is impossible...It doesn't make sense..."

The angel of sin seemed still in shock, and was quite flustered in his attempts to defend himself.

Under normal circumstances, given Valensa's combat skills, she should have seized the opening and unleashed a combo to obliterate the Sinful Angel once again... But this time, she fought very conservatively, even stumbling and wasting several opportunities.

"Ok?"

Noticing this phenomenon, the angel of sin had a sudden realization. After observing Valensa's unfocused eyes more closely, he finally understood:

"You controlled her body? Her consciousness is still completely suppressed by my power of time. You're the one controlling her body to fight me? You actually know this kind of magic? Does she know it?"

"Of course she knows."

Tia remained unmoved and continued to control Valensa's body, launching a fierce attack:

"This is my unique technique of the Bond of Fate, which allows souls that trust each other to become entangled. We are lovers who are going to spend our lives together, isn't it normal to give our hearts and souls to each other completely? You've been married to so many people who loved you before, surely you understand this?"

"You...! Humph!"

The final question seemed to have touched a nerve with the Sinful Angel, clearly enraging her. Her combined attack with her staff and wind magic became increasingly fierce, and she actually managed to suppress Valensa.

"Ah."

Seeing this, the Sinful Angel let out another disdainful sneer:

"I admit you've surprised me again, you little witch... but so what? Even if you can control her body, your combat skills are far inferior to hers. You can't even utilize 30% of the abilities of this body... you can only serve as a meat shield, barely surviving!"

As the Sinful Angel spoke, a whirlwind repelled Valensa's body, and with a flick of her toes, she drifted backward for nearly a hundred meters, creating distance, and began to summon the storm again.

"I'd like to see if you can still hide behind her this time."

"...You're right...and thank you for reminding me."

Despite the impending large-scale storm attack, Tia remained calm and her eyes lit up as if she had suddenly gained some insight.

She quickly manipulated Valensa's body to retreat in front of her, sheathed the lightsaber, and maintained only the defensive Six-Flower Shield form.

"You don't actually think this will stop it, do you?" the Sin Angel mocked.

"You're going to use the forbidden wind spell, Sky-Splitting Rain, right? This kind of large-scale magic can't be blocked by a shield, but what about this one?"

Tia smiled and snapped her fingers.

A curtain of water descended from the sky in an instant, transforming into a shield that firmly protected her. At the same time, the ground beneath their feet trembled, and a hundred-meter-high earthen wall quickly rose, keeping the storm at bay.

"This is impossible!"

The angel of sin was stunned once again.
