In the dim abyss, not a single ray of sunlight entered from the outside world, but a rich purple-black filled the entire space.
This was the Abyss, yet it was not the Abyss.
As everyone knew, although Skirk was an Ice-attribute character in the Genshin Impact game, in the plot she used Abyssal Power, only simulating the Ice element.
So she had a sudden idea: could she use the Abyssal Power to simulate an independent space? Like Obito Uchiha's Kamui space, where she could not only enter at any time but even drag enemies into it.
Facts proved that although there were many restrictions, creating an independent space like this could indeed succeed!
However, in this world, there weren't many people who could make Skirk bring out this power; besides her other self, there were only the top figures in the world of Chivalry of a Failed Knight.
Obviously, Edelweiss was one of them.
The title of "World's Strongest Swordsman" was not something one could have casually; Edelweiss's great name was known to everyone from Europe to the Great Ming.
Back when the League and the Confederation had a conflict, Edelweiss suddenly appeared on the battlefield like this, and with her own powerful strength, she easily slaughtered 300,000 troops from both sides.
Such a terrifying record led the League and the Confederation to issue a joint wanted warrant, but to this day, no one has been able to capture her.
As for slaying Edelweiss... most people hadn't even thought about it!
So, under the fear of those high-level officials, Edelweiss was given the title of "World's Most Evil Criminal," but she herself was unexpectedly gentle, a point that was recognized by the original protagonist Ikki Kurogane.
Many people had no perception of Edelweiss's strength, but she was one of the extremely rare powerhouses in this world who could truly, in a real sense, be a one-person army against a nation... or even contend with the entire world!
Therefore, after Edelweiss herself was dragged into that Abyssal space by Skirk, the world's strongest female swordsman immediately reacted.
The white-haired beauty dressed in secretary clothing casually tore off the OL outfit she was wearing, revealing the "Valkyrie Set" underneath.
Even Skirk felt a bit speechless seeing this scene...
She had just thought that it was impossible for Edelweiss to walk around outside in such revealing clothing, and it turned out you were actually wearing it directly underneath?
As expected of someone from the Western world, they really are open-minded!
So Skirk likewise brought out her own azure radiance, intending to have a good exchange in swordsmanship with this powerful female swordsman.
Although Skirk was not the original person but only playing the role, this didn't prevent him from having the martial arts the original had learned in his mind, especially regarding the guidance from Surtalogi.
However, that was a Spartan-style education in the truest sense of "as long as you don't die from teaching, teach to the death"; if it weren't for Skirk, an ordinary person might not necessarily have been able to endure it.
But the Edelweiss before her was completely different; she didn't seem to have received guidance from top-tier technical masters, having practiced the sword on her own since childhood and only learning some basic swordsmanship.
But even so, in the process of her own training, she still gradually became the pinnacle of the Way of the Sword in this world...
There is no doubt that Edelweiss is the strongest swordsman in history within the world of Chivalry of a Failed Knight!
And Skirk is also the "strongest" in a certain sense.
Now it has truly become a showdown between the strongest and the strongest...
"This is my world. Do you intend to challenge me?"
Watching the pure white Valkyrie holding twin swords in the distance, the chill in Skirk's hands was gradually decreasing, but this did not mean she was weakening her power...
Since the opponent was the world's strongest, Skirk would naturally show a lot of respect—at least more than she showed that White Eagle superman.
So Skirk brought out her true skills, completely abandoning the use of elemental power and instead directly using Abyssal Power!
"How will I know if I don't try?"
The path of a Desperado is to understand one's self, and Edelweiss had long since become a transcendentally awakened Desperado; she would naturally walk her own path with unwavering determination.
Furthermore, Edelweiss had stood at the apex of the world for over a decade, and she was very conscious of this fact.
Without needing any proof, she was the world's strongest! The pinnacle of swordsmanship in this world!
In all these years, it had only been others challenging her. How could there be a saying where she goes to challenge someone else?
"And there is one thing you are wrong about..."
After entering this place, Edelweiss noticed that the surrounding aura was exactly the same as the Skirk before her.
If she hadn't confirmed her perception wasn't wrong, Edelweiss would have even thought she had been "swallowed into the stomach" by Skirk.
But so what?
More than ten years ago, Edelweiss was already able to single-handedly contend with hundreds of thousands of troops from the League and the Confederation, even annihilating 300,000. What else in the world was there for her to fear?
To Edelweiss, perhaps the person before her possessed a unique Blazer ability that successfully dragged her into a domain, but in the end, it was just a domain...
It wasn't as if Edelweiss hadn't encountered one before.
Against such an opponent, she already had her own set of countermeasures; as long as she crushed the enemy before her, the domain would naturally dissipate.
A sharp sword intent suddenly erupted from Edelweiss, like Mount Everest in the middle of a blizzard; even the surrounding Abyss was affected to a certain extent.
"I am the peak of this world, the end of the path of the sword."
"Make no mistake—you are the challenger!"
Even though Edelweiss's hands didn't move and she seemed not to have launched an attack at all, Skirk took a step back in an instant.
At the exact moment Skirk retreated, a sword mark appeared, carved into the earth composed of the Abyss; it was so obvious in Skirk's eyes.
"I see, so this is the so-called Wings-Aligned Sword?"
Anyone who knew of Edelweiss could never forget the signature skill of the world's strongest female swordsman, the Wings-Aligned Sword.
No sword-swinging motion.
No imposing aura.
No sound of breaking wind.
No sword light.
Clearly there was no movement, yet Edelweiss had already launched an attack. This was the Wings-Aligned Sword, Edelweiss's sword.
It was a top-tier swordsmanship that completely exceeded the human scope, something only those at the Desperado level or above could perceive!
"But what I want is more than just this."
Since coming to this world, Skirk had always been guiding others as a teacher. Even Desperados like Nango Torajiro and Saikyō Neine could hardly pique her interest.
But now, she felt a threat from Edelweiss...
Even though this threat was faint, it was enough to prove one thing.
Edelweiss was enough to threaten her life!
"Now, I can see a true Desperado..."
