She quickly moved her body to avoid being caught and thrown by Durandal.
Watching Durandal's movements from the corner of her eye, she immediately changed her direction of advance the moment Durandal's arm moved.
A drop of cold sweat ran down Ai Li's forehead as she watched Black Abyss White Flower easily blast a large hole through the building in the arena.
If that had hit her, she would have been scattered everywhere.
On Fu Hua's side, after figuring out the behavioral logic of the two Phantom Robots accompanying Durandal,
her attack was once again deflected by the robot holding a shield, while the other one wielding a greatsword also swung it towards Fu Hua.
Death Blow: Crescent Moon.
Fu Hua leaped high, then used her armor's mobility device to quickly smash her body downwards.
The Phantom Mech holding the shield was directly shattered and dissipated in the Memory Battlefield.
The armor on Fu Hua's body now flickered with a dangerous orange light, and orange electrical arcs pulsed on its surface.
Under her mask, Fu Hua let out a sigh of relief; this armor indeed provided her with immense help, allowing her to easily execute some techniques.
As well as her current state.
Black Sparrow.
She quickly slid backward, the greatsword slicing past Fu Hua's waist.
She pressed her hand onto the greatsword, directly pinning the still-swinging greatsword to the ground.
Then, stepping on the greatsword, Fu Hua approached the Phantom Mech wielding it and, with her electrically charged fist, punched the mech to the ground.
As the mech dissipated, Fu Hua quickly approached Durandal's main body.
Facing Fu Hua's fist, Durandal merely raised her arm, and a phantom shield appeared on it, identical to the mech's shield earlier.
She used the shield to block the attack, while her body rapidly leaped backward, a phantom blue lance appearing in her hand, which she then directly threw at Fu Hua.
Ai Li also breathed a sigh of relief; she had no idea how many thrown lances she had dodged by now!
The moment she found a cover, a thrown lance would come the next second! And then the cover would be gone! Just gone!!
Ai Li immediately drew her bowstring, and the armor parts floating behind her converged into the shape of an arrow on the bowstring.
At the same time, some armor pieces also reinforced the strength of the bow in Ai Li's hand.
Ai Li's shot precisely hit Durandal, who had landed on the ground after throwing the lance.
However, the effect of the attack didn't seem very ideal.
After all, the arrow was caught in Durandal's hand.
Fortunately, Fu Hua was still there; Fu Hua kicked the tail of the arrow.
The arrow, held in Durandal's hand, immediately plunged towards Durandal's chest.
But just as the arrow was about to strike, a phantom shield appeared in front of her chest.
At the same time, Durandal quickly retreated, propelled by Fu Hua's kick.
During her retreat, Durandal also made a motion as if grasping something.
From the distant ruins, Black Abyss White Flower immediately flew out and soared towards Durandal's direction.
If Fu Hua hadn't dodged to the side in advance, the returning Black Abyss White Flower would have collided with her.
She pulled out the arrow stuck in the shield, then gripped Black Abyss White Flower.
Durandal looked at Ai Li, who was still drawing her bowstring in the distance, and behind her, the Phantom Mechs that Fu Hua had just shattered reappeared.
Only this time, Durandal herself charged at Fu Hua with Black Abyss White Flower, while the two mechs appeared beside Ai Li as if teleporting.
Ai Li only had time to shoot the newly condensed arrow at Durandal, then quickly dodged the mechs' attacks.
If this wasn't a test, these two mechs absolutely, absolutely wouldn't be attacking her! Ai Li thought to herself.
She kicked the shield, using its force to leap high upwards, while simultaneously drawing her bowstring.
Watching the arrow pass through the mech without leaving a trace on its body,
Ai Li wished she could drag out the person who developed the armor and beat them up.
How could it be so unfair! Not only does this armor come with two stand-in mechs, but you can't even hit them from a distance??
Given this, Ai Li had no choice but to put away her bow and arrow; although she wasn't very good at close-quarters combat (in her own opinion), she could still dodge the attacks of these two mechs.
Now, she could only pray that Fu Hua's side could quickly resolve Durandal.
However, it was uncertain who would resolve whom.
Facing Durandal with Black Abyss White Flower, Fu Hua could not afford to be hit by any of Black Abyss White Flower's attacks.
Fu Hua had experienced this kind of sparring with Durandal many times and believed she couldn't defeat the current Durandal without using her trump cards.
Dodging Black Abyss White Flower again, Fu Hua threw a punch at Durandal, but Durandal easily blocked it with her arm.
She also used Fu Hua's attack to her advantage, widening the distance Fu Hua had just closed, bringing it back into her preferred range.
Wielding Black Abyss White Flower, it was clearly a lance, yet in Durandal's hand, it felt as light as a sword.
The two remained in a stalemate, but Fu Hua knew that this situation was most disadvantageous for her.
She had just dodged a direct thrust, and before she could close in, Durandal had already moved backward, simultaneously throwing Black Abyss White Flower.
After dodging, the two began close-quarters combat.
A large part of Durandal's combat skills were also taught by Fu Hua.
So neither of them could gain an advantage over the other, especially since Durandal would occasionally recall Black Abyss White Flower.
Their rapid combat, if it were a normal A-rank Valkyrie, they would probably have been defeated long ago.
Ai Li was in a similar situation; with the cooperation of the two Phantom Mechs, Ai Li couldn't quickly resolve them for a while.
On the battlefield, both sides were temporarily locked in a stalemate.
Finally, Ai Li, who couldn't take it anymore, used her own strength to weaken the shield's durability somewhat before temporarily shattering this mech with her fist.
Only facing one mech, Ai Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially since this mech's weapon was a greatsword; although it could teleport, anticipating (perceiving) its teleportation location in advance made it much easier to deal with.
What Ai Li didn't know was that the mech she defeated had returned directly to Durandal's side.
Fu Hua and Durandal, who had been in a stalemate, found themselves in a situation where Fu Hua was momentarily caught off guard by the returning shield and was hit.
Subsequently, Fu Hua was struck by Black Abyss White Flower.
Fu Hua knelt on the ground, her armor showing signs of damage, while Durandal stood in the hand of a mech, holding Black Abyss White Flower high.
Finally, Black Abyss White Flower was completely plunged into Fu Hua's body.
As Ai Li had just dealt with the greatsword mech, a shockwave from Fu Hua's battlefield swept towards her.
(Actually, Ai Li could have directly corroded the mech with Death Herrscher's power here, but unfortunately, Ai Li didn't know how to use it, thinking Death Herrscher's ability could only affect living beings.)
