The dense fog formed by the collapse of energy condensed above the cave, transforming the area into gloomy weather. Accompanied by Dark Jixuanyuan wielding her black Xuanyuan sword, several lightning bolts descended from the sky, densely covering the stone-paved road and shattering it!
"Boom!"
"Dada!!"
Luo Lin's barrage of rifle fire first enveloped Dark Jixuanyuan, the echoing gunfire in the cave brought Whitely and the two remaining Valkyries back to their senses, immediately raising their rifles to open fire.
However, the opponent remained motionless, and the bullets merely sparked against Dark Jixuanyuan's body, adding a bit of courage to the girl riding her tall horse.
Luo Lin knew exactly what this was; Dark Jixuanyuan had a thick shield of Honkai Energy, granting her significant damage reduction until the shield was shattered.
The bullets fired by her three Valkyrie teammates were not entirely ineffective, but they couldn't even scratch the shield.
Dark Jixuanyuan pulled on the reins, her armored warhorse neighing loudly as both horse and rider turned into blurry shadows, leaping behind the Valkyrie's position.
The next moment, golden ripples appeared around Dark Jixuanyuan, similar to a signature skill called "Gate of Babylon" used by someone named Gilgamesh next door, as a barrage of arrows flew out towards Luo Lin and her team!
Facing this scene, Luo Lin once again stepped forward, activating her "White Heat Mode" this time, under the enhanced effect of the Honkai Energy. Her surging sword energy collided with the arrows, blowing away both volleys of arrows and even rushing towards Dark Jixuanyuan.
"Hang!"
Dark Jixuanyuan casually swung her darkened Xuanyuan sword, neutralizing the remaining sword energy. Her blood-red eyes quickly locked onto the most threatening presence among them!
The blackened Shenzhou warrior bent down, raising her longsword with golden lightning coiling around its blade. Her warhorse also entered a charging state along with her movement, leaving deep craters on the stone floor, with fine cracks spreading out.
Her target was directly aimed at Luo Lin!
And to everyone's surprise, Luo Lin also raised her longsword brimming with Taixu sword energy, launching a countercharge towards Dark Jixuanyuan!
"Oh my god!"
On the research ship, someone already covered their mouth, even wanting to close their eyes and not watch their collision.
"Boom!"
A strong shockwave erupted from the point of impact between the two, raising a large cloud of dust. The three Valkyries at the edge of the battlefield squinted, trying to find the figures of Luo Lin and Dark Jixuanyuan.
The next moment, the fierce gleam of blades shattered the mist in front of them, revealing two figures entangled in a high-speed duel to everyone's view.
It was a ferocious fighting style that Whitely, Alvitr, and all the surrounding Valkyries had never seen before: Luo Lin wielded her longsword, maneuvering on the edge of lightning flashes and sword shadows, almost dancing with those powerful attacks.
Any slight mistake could disrupt her rhythm, allowing Dark Jixuanyuan to counterattack calmly.
But Luo Lin would never give her that chance!
Facing Dark Jixuanyuan's various offensives, Luo Lin felt like she was back home, recalling her experiences fighting Dark Jixuanyuan in the Infinity Abyss and Memorial Arena after transmigrating.
It was the experience extracted from hundreds of times being struck by lightning, cleaved by the black Xuanyuan sword, trampled by hooves, killed by charging, and a series of hardships and torments!
To the Valkyries watching on the sidelines, Luo Lin accurately anticipated all of Dark Jixuanyuan's attacks, whether it was the ranged arrow rain, surging split sword energy, or the lightning bolts descending from the sky.
None of them could hit the black-haired girl!
Ah! All defenses have gone!
Alvitr only glanced at the footage transmitted from Luo Lin's body camera for a few seconds, but she felt a bit dizzy. She immediately switched back to Whitely's camera and shouted over the communication, "Captain! Can we support Lady Luo Lin?!"
"Impossible!"
Whitely also felt helpless. Luo Lin and Dark Jixuanyuan were entangled, and they couldn't fire freely. Moreover, in the current situation, Luo Lin clearly had the upper hand, making them the potential weak point that Dark Jixuanyuan could exploit!
In order not to affect the situation, Whitely and the remaining two Valkyries distanced themselves, enough for them to react to Dark Jixuanyuan's sudden attacks.
The Valkyries turned their heads and looked towards the central battlefield filled with clangs of steel, flashes of lightning, and thunder. Dark Jixuanyuan was obviously fixated on the battle, completely ignoring the three Valkyries who had quietly slipped to the edge of the battlefield.
After all, Luo Lin always evaded attacks at the most thrilling moments, which was a blatant mockery to Dark Jixuanyuan!
Moreover, every now and then, Luo Lin would deploy a wide-ranging slow field. With the help of the field, she could seize the extremely brief window after Dark Jixuanyuan's attacks to launch a rapid counterattack!
The black-haired girl gritted her teeth, "Take my newly learned Space Time Fracture!"
Indeed, after Vill-V pointed out that the Signets of Luo Lin might be related to the underlying rules existing in the world, the black-haired girl began to research her own skills!
Luo Lin quickly shifted her gaze to her character card, "Valkyrie - Dark Feather," and the panel that lacked many skills.
She found that she did have an evasion skill, but the skill description only consisted of a few words: Rapid displacement evasion, can evade twice in succession.
Wait a minute, shouldn't a support like "Dark Feathers" have a skill like "Space Time Fracture"?
Hold on, does she need to find a way to unlock this herself?
Intuition told Luo Lin that she guessed right.
Next, in the intense battles of the Abyss and the Memorial Arena, Luo Lin began to study various evasion skills of character cards.
After all, the evasion here was not as exaggerated as in the game with its "invincibility frames". Charging straight into attacks was simply seeking death, the best way was to skim past and trigger "Space Time Fracture".
But how close should she get to skim past? How could she determine the success of the evasion?
With these questions in mind, Luo Lin further researched and finally caught a glimpse of inspiration.
Not long ago, she successfully triggered "Space Time Fracture" as the identity of "Valkyrie - Dark Feather"!
Now, this new skill came in handy against Dark Jixuanyuan!
"What trick is this?!"
Riding her warhorse, Dark Jixuanyuan felt her vision blur every now and then, and immediately, annoying little insects would rush at her with lightning-fast speed, leaving several obvious wounds on her.
Dark Jixuanyuan gritted her teeth, releasing another barrage of lightning bolts, only to be skillfully dodged by Luo Lin.
Even the Valkyries had time to pepper her face with a flurry of bullets, making her see stars (metaphorically).
The knight was furious, shouting, "I see through your tricks; you're a disciple of Jingwei! How despicable your moves are?!"
"Despicable?! Taking advantage is a good move!"
Luo Lin no longer responded to Dark Jixuanyuan's angry roar, channeling more power into her slashes. The wounds on Dark Jixuanyuan became increasingly visible, even her armored warhorse looked quite miserable, purple Honkai Energy oozing out of the wounds, dissipating into the air.
Almost there, her shield is about to break. The time when Dark Jixuanyuan is knocked off her horse will be the perfect time to unleash her DPS!
