After the noon break,
Durandal once again led everyone into the training ground.
The other Valkyries in the training ground looked at them with astonished eyes.
Especially Kiana; in the morning, they had clearly seen her train until she fainted.
At that level, was her body truly fine?
They had already seen Elysia and the others' identities on the forum long ago.
Three B-rank Valkyries, and one S-Rank Valkyrie who had just been promoted not long ago.
Everyone in the training ground looked at Elysia.
After a thorough look, she clearly seemed like a very delicate young girl.
There were no signs of training on her body at all.
Watching them enter training mode, the other Valkyries in the training ground slowed down their training intensity, and various discussions began on their forum.
After setting training goals for Kiana and the others, Durandal asked Rita to help supervise for a while.
Elysia and Durandal walked to the open space in the training ground.
"Alright, let's try sparring, shall we? Besides my master and Rita, I haven't fought any other S-ranks," Durandal said after stretching her hands.
"Wait, wait, weren't we going to look at the Black Abyss White Flower?" Elysia quickly retreated and said.
"The Black Abyss White Flower can't just be taken out directly. We'll spar for a bit, and then I can apply for it," Durandal said, then charged towards Elysia.
"Wait! I! I'm not good at close combat!" Elysia quickly dodged to the side.
"If you're not good at it, you should experience it more," Durandal said, having been dodged by Elysia, then directly swung her arm in the direction Elysia dodged.
Quickly lowering her head, "Wait!" Before Elysia could finish speaking, Durandal's calf appeared in front of Elysia.
Quickly blocking the blow with her arm, Elysia was sent flying directly.
Relying on the transparent shield that had appeared behind her at some point, some white light points merged into Elysia's trembling arms.
Although there were no wounds on her arms, Elysia's hands were still trembling.
Then, Elysia saw Durandal's fist already approaching her. Before being hit, Elysia turned her head away.
Durandal's fist directly hit the transparent shield.
A patch of cracks immediately appeared on the shield.
Elysia's mouth twitched, then she directly rammed Durandal with her shoulder.
After knocking Durandal away, "Wait, you're trying to kill me!"
"How could I? I'll pull my punches before hitting you, don't worry. And that last attack was good," Durandal said, then charged towards Elysia again.
After Elysia dodged again, she no longer focused solely on dodging but began to look for openings to counterattack.
Their sparring quickly attracted the other Valkyries who were training.
These people stopped their training and carefully watched the two battle.
Although they weren't wearing armor at the moment, their sparring speed was already comparable to when they were wearing armor.
As their battlefield moved beside the shield again,
Durandal punched the shield again, and the Valkyries next to the shield immediately dodged.
Because another patch of cracks appeared on the shield.
As more and more cracks appeared on the shield, the Valkyries spread out further.
Because these shields clearly wouldn't last much longer.
After they spread out, another layer of shield appeared, and the inner layer of shield, as expected, still shattered.
It shattered under a fierce kick from Durandal.
"It seems Lord Bishop has already noticed," Durandal said with a sigh of relief after this attack.
"Because of this extra layer of shield?" Elysia took a breath during this moment.
"Of course, that outer layer of shield is already a battleship-grade shield, much stronger," Durandal said, and a projection appeared in front of her.
"Alright, now we can let loose a bit," she said, and some blue light points appeared on Durandal's body.
An armor quickly appeared on her body.
"Alright, Miss Elysia, you should put on your armor too," Durandal said, moving her body.
After Elysia sighed, she also teleported the Key of Blankness over.
As soon as the Key of Blankness reached Elysia's body, it transformed into the Key of Life and Death.
"At this distance, a bow isn't suitable. Use this," Durandal said, then threw the Black Abyss White Flower to Elysia, and another lance appeared in her hand.
After catching the Black Abyss White Flower, the armor on Elysia's body changed again.
Elysia could also feel that the power of life and death had greatly intensified.
On the other side, Otto looked at the video in front of him with some helplessness.
"Indeed, with Durandal's personality, she still really wants to find someone who can use the Black Abyss White Flower like her, doesn't she?"
"Ah, Amber," Otto softly said to Amber next to him.
"Lord Bishop, is there something?" Amber, who was reviewing documents nearby, looked up at Otto.
"Strengthen the temporary shield in Training Ground Three," Otto said.
"Understood, Otto," Amber immediately contacted the technicians in charge of Training Ground Three.
Otto was also very curious about the battle between Elysia and Durandal now.
"Will the Black Abyss White Flower and the Tranquility Gem stack on this Elysia?"
While Otto was watching Elysia and the others, there was another screen beside him, showing Kiana's figure.
Elysia, in battle, did not use the power of the Black Abyss. After all, this was not a life-and-death battle, especially since the Black Abyss White Flower was Durandal's weapon.
The battleship's shield was still not strong enough; both of them were still restraining themselves, not using throwing spears, but engaging in close-quarters combat.
However, when their weapons touched the shield, the shield still shattered directly.
The Valkyries in the training ground quickly evacuated and then began to take out their terminals to watch the surveillance video of the training ground.
Not long after everyone evacuated, Elysia and Durandal also determined a winner.
Elysia still hadn't beaten Durandal; the lance in Durandal's hand was pressed against Elysia's chest.
And the Black Abyss White Flower in Elysia's hand was raised high.
Just now, when Elysia lunged at Durandal, she was directly punched by Durandal below the spear shaft, and then a spear was pressed against Elysia's chest.
After it ended, Durandal directly deactivated her armor. "Not bad, Elysia is indeed very strong," Durandal said with a smile.
"You... your physical fitness is truly unfair," Elysia released the Black Abyss White Flower.
Her hand holding the Black Abyss White Flower was still a bit numb.
If she hadn't held it tightly just now, the Black Abyss White Flower would have been knocked flying directly.
"With enough training, reaching my level is only a matter of time," Durandal patted Elysia's shoulder.
"...Forget it, with such pure physical fitness, I'll only dream of beating you," Elysia also deactivated her armor and used her abilities to recover from some of the injuries she sustained during the battle.
After recovering herself, Elysia slapped Durandal's shoulder, wanting to help Durandal recover.
But then, Elysia's eyes widened, and she asked in a surprised tone, "You... you don't have any injuries on you?"
"Hmm? This is just training, how could I get injured? At most, my hand is a bit sore," Durandal said, then flexed her wrist.
Elysia looked at her own hand, then at Durandal's hand.
Just now, this person shattered the shield with her bare hands, didn't she?
Elysia only realized at this moment that during their sparring, besides her back, her fist hadn't touched the shield at all.
What exactly was Durandal's physical fitness like?!
