Chapter 214: Valkyrie Candidate Kiri nearby had been keeping her eyes on Carlos until she spotted Ginya, Her pupils shrank: ’Among the twelve King’s Retainers, the third-ranked Withering Knight!’ She remembered that the third retainer under Carlos Valois showed up after leaving Rock Sand City. How could it appear now? It shouldn’t! Was it because of her? Kiri perked up her ears, carefully listening to the conversation between Withering Knight and Becky. She wanted to figure out why Withering Knight appeared early. ’Huh? That woman is the Destiny Witch’s best friend? There’s something weirdly familiar about her.’ ... "Diliya! How did you turn into this!" Becky was blown away. Her best friend had actually become a monster! Wait... no, She suddenly turned left: "...Then you..." The one holding her left hand was also Diliya! "What... what’s going on?" "Becky! Your prophecy poem came true!" Both Diliya and Ginya looked bummed out. Their friend’s prophecy was way too accurate this time. Becky had a lightbulb moment, saying in disbelief: "Oh! Ha... half???" "Yeah." She never would’ve guessed ’Half’ meant this— Her friend had split in two! "It’s cool as long as you’re okay. I’m just glad you made it back safe." So what if one became two? No biggie. After getting over the shock, Becky quickly tried to comfort her friend. She figured her friend had to be totally freaked out after such a major change. .... "What! Withering Knight Is half of the Destiny Witch’s best friend?" Eavesdropping Kiri heard their whole conversation crystal clear. "Hmm... this explains it. It was precisely because I stuck my nose in That Carlos Valois ran into Withering Knight early." Thinking it through, it made perfect sense. She originally had no clue about Withering Knight’s backstory, but now it was clear as day. "But is this coincidence or was it always meant to happen?" Kiri didn’t chill out. She realized a problem: Even with her messing around, Carlos Valois’s growth path stayed exactly the same, Even using her as a catalyst led to the third King’s Retainer showing up. She couldn’t help feeling crushed, like everything was already written in stone. "Can I really change Carlos Valois’s turn to the dark side?" This was the first time since coming back that Kiri’s confidence took a hit. .... All of a sudden, A panicked voice rang out: "Diliya! What’s wrong!" After reuniting with her best friend, human Diliya’s wound-up nerves completely crashed. She couldn’t keep fighting her body’s exhaustion anymore. With a smile, she closed her eyes and collapsed into her friend’s arms. Becky looked scared as hell, Quickly catching Diliya, calling for help from Carlos chilling on a lounge chair. "Young Master Carlos! Diliya just passed out!" "What happened?" She was fine when they got back—how did she suddenly crash? In Carlos’s perception, Human Diliya’s life force was rapidly fading, steadily creeping toward death! "This is spiritual instability!" Carlos’s face went serious. Spiritual instability usually came from problems with the soul’s foundation. "This is a side effect of forced Anomalous Soul separation!" After checking her out, Carlos figured it out. Retainer Ginya didn’t have this problem because that half of the Anomalous Soul was just one ingredient. Strictly speaking, Ginya and the previous Diliya were totally different people—she just inherited half of the latter’s stuff. But the separated human Diliya was a different story. After losing her natural overlapping half without getting new backup, Her current soul structure was naturally unstable, causing her to crash. "Sir, Is there any way to fix this?" Becky’s voice was frantic. Though her friend had become two people, she didn’t want to lose either one. Carlos shook his head: "Sorry, I’m not good with this kind of thing. Better get her to the Sacred Medical Institute ASAP." "Right, right, right! Sacred Medical Institute!" Becky smacked her forehead. How could she forget about this! Actually, This was because Carlos seemed way too reliable, like he could do anything. When he said he’d save someone, he brought them back that same day. Naturally, Becky’s first instinct when problems came up was asking Carlos for help. "Hold up, Mind if I take a look?" Kiri suddenly spoke up, Stopping Becky. "Kiri, you’ve got a solution!" Becky was pumped. She’d almost forgotten about this mysterious girl. Kiri didn’t say anything, But took the unconscious Diliya from Becky’s arms. ’Just as I thought, The Valkyrie Mark’s reaction was spot on! This woman is the fifth Valkyrie candidate!’ Kiri was thrilled inside, the bronze sword-shaped mark on her forehead faintly glowing. Valkyrie candidate—a special constitution that could handle Valkyrie inheritance. In Kiri’s memory, She was the first Valkyrie candidate; Kathy was the second Valkyrie candidate; Heidi was the third Valkyrie candidate; Grace was the fourth Valkyrie candidate. As for the fifth, she’d never tracked her down in the past. This drove her absolutely nuts. Because In the inheritance memories, Only when the five great Valkyrie inheritors got together could they enter the legendary Elf Palace. Kiri knew how to get the other four Valkyrie Sacred Relics. The only hang-up was the fifth Valkyrie candidate—she could never find her. Who would’ve thought, The fifth Valkyrie candidate was the Destiny Witch’s best friend! No wonder she couldn’t find her in the previous life. Because according to the original timeline, this woman would end up becoming a Black Sinner host, taken out by human powerhouses, so naturally they never crossed paths. ’This lifetime, Also the final lifetime, I will reopen the Elf Palace!’ Kiri’s heart was racing. So unexpected, so awesome— The fifth Valkyrie candidate was found through such a crazy coincidence. ’Fate works in mysterious ways.’ At first, She only wanted to ask the Destiny Witch to divine whether the plan would work or crash. As it turned out, In the end, It triggered Withering Knight’s birth And the fifth Valkyrie candidate showing up. For a moment, Kiri’s mind was all over the place. "Kiri! Kiri!" Seeing the mysterious girl Just keep staring down without saying anything, Becky got anxious. In her perception, Diliya’s aura had gotten really weak. "Don’t sweat it, I’ve got this." Snapping back to reality, Kiri’s small face was dead serious. She bent down, forehead to forehead. The bronze sword-shaped mark suddenly blazed with light. A mysterious power flowed into Diliya. Right away, Diliya’s aura stopped fading and even started getting stronger. ’She actually used Valkyrie essence!’ Carlos was impressed. Valkyrie essence was the core that kept the Northern Hero going through battle after battle—crazy precious stuff. Who would’ve thought the Northern Hero would be willing to use it to save this complete stranger. Through watching, Carlos figured out Diliya and Kiri weren’t buddies and might be total strangers. Paying such a huge price to save some random person didn’t make much sense. Unless human Diliya Had some special importance to the Northern Hero. Carlos watched quietly, Info about the Northern Hero running through his head.
