I loaded the dream game

"You are already limited in many ways by being in a human body, and coupled with your own lack of ability... you are completely unqualified as a tool for subjugation."

"...Shut up!" the girl suddenly interrupted.

"Oh?" The man was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something, chuckled and said: "Isn't it? As the container of the power of the "Devil King" in your body, your main responsibility is to use their power to destroy other "Apostles"... Convenient, mass-produced, and replaceable... To put it bluntly, you are just a killing tool used to transmit power, and there is no essential difference from other tools."

"And since you can't even use your own power as a "demon king", calling you a tool is a bit of an exaggeration... It should be said that you are just a completely unqualified product..."

"Shut up!" The girl interrupted him loudly again, tightened the sword in her hand, raised her head and looked at him firmly.

Are you a tool?

The girl had never cared about this issue in the past, and never thought about it too much.

Even though someone called her a tool for killing more than once, she never took it to heart... because she knew that, to some extent, those people were right.

The so-called tools are things that act in accordance with the will of others in order to achieve a goal.

In order to protect the balance of the world, he must annihilate the "Apostles". He once regarded them as everything in his life. He had nothing else. It seemed nothing wrong to call them "tools".

After all, apart from this mission, I have nothing at all.

…It should have been like this.

However, after arriving in that city, I gained one more thing...

The girl took a deep breath, clenched the sword in her hand, and rushed towards the man again, accompanied by another ball of sparks exploding under her feet.

Alastor and Wilhelmina never gave that kind of thing to me, the "unique one to be called". The other apostles and fire mist warriors were also distinguished only by the names of their beloved swords.

Yes, I am the fire mist warrior known as "Zhidenzhana".

Tools do not need to have specific names, just a name that can refer to them is enough.

The mission of the Fire Mist Warrior was once everything to him, his purpose of survival. Apart from this, he should have nothing...

However, this kind of self also got

A "unique name" that belongs to you alone... something you have never had before.

Even though it was imposed on me without my permission, it is indeed a "title" that belongs only to me... It is the title I got from him.

and so……

"I am not just a tool!

But..."

The girl tightly grasped the sword in her hand, feeling the surging heat in her body, as if affirming her belief, accommodating the ever-emerging power, the existence of the "self".

Along with the power that was about to burst out, there was also a name that belonged only to her:

Named, Flaming Eyes——

"——Shana!"

As soon as the words fell, a blazing flame rose up, carrying Shana's determination, engulfing everything within her sight...

Chapter 295: So many people came, are you planning to play mahjong?

"boom--!"

An explosion like thunder rang out.

On the damaged street, a huge explosion, more violent than any previous one, suddenly occurred, setting off a blazing red flame that spread to the surroundings.

The air around was shaken and distorted, and the trees and shops on both sides of the road were overturned and destroyed.

The red lotus flame turned into a whirlpool, engulfing the man's figure. Under the scorching heat, even the concrete floor gradually cracked and softened.

The calamity fire from the God of Heavenly Punishment contained power and destruction that was definitely not something that an ordinary "apostle" could withstand. Even a powerful "demon king" would have to retreat in front of this flame that burned and judged everything.

however……

"Om..."

Along with a slight buzzing sound, a faint light lit up from the man's fingers. The soft light emitted seemed to dispel the darkness and blocked the oncoming red lotus flames in front of him. It seemed as if a layer of protective shield had appeared on his body out of thin air.

"The Noble Phantasm 'Blue Sky'." Alastor's voice was solemn, as if he recognized the Noble Phantasm used by the other party. "It has the ability to dispel flames and explosions. It can be said to be a defensive Noble Phantasm specialized for Fire Mist Warriors... I see, the other party is the 'Hunter' who specializes in hunting down Fire Mist Warriors, Fariagni."

"Be careful, Shana. This guy is a powerful "demon king" who can use multiple treasures and has annihilated several Fire Mist 110 warriors."

After hearing Alastair's warning, Shana did not flinch at all.

If it were in the past, after losing Zhidian Zhana, she would not have much chance of winning alone against such an experienced "Demon King" who had killed several Fire Mist Warriors.

But it's different now.

“I… can do it!”

Feeling the surging power in her body and the hot emotions that kept emerging from her heart, Shana took a deep breath and tightly gripped the sword in her hand.

(Absolutely, no problem!)

Compared to the past, the self with that extra "existence" is definitely——

no problem!

The surging power surged in her body, and the blazing red lotus flames instantly spread out, transforming into a pair of flaming wings scattered with fire powder. With the blooming of the scorching light, Shana rushed towards Fariagni again at a speed that was completely incomparable to the speed just now.

"Even though you realize the power of my Noble Phantasm, you still choose to attack head-on... You are such an ignorant child."

The man named Fariagni shook his head slightly, and ignored the girl who was rushing towards him. Instead, he slowly took out a small glass rattle from his arms.

"Bam—!"

The flame of the red lotus dragged a red stream of light, and the girl turned in front of the man in an instant. As she clenched her right hand, the flame attached to the long sword instantly rose.

But the next moment...

"Om..."

The silver ring lit up and dispelled the flames on Shana's body again, turning them into specks of light that dissipated in the wind.

But Shana didn't care. She had never thought of using fire to hurt the other person.

"Shh-"

The blazing blade cut through the air, carrying the girl's initial momentum, and slashed straight towards the man's body.

However, looking at the blade that seemed to be unavoidable, Fariagni did not seem panicked, because...

"Crash-!"

The sound of chains colliding rang out again, and a golden chain flew over from the side. Under Marian's control, the attacking blade was firmly restrained, preventing it from advancing any further.

——Now that I know you have this trick, do you think I will still be completely unprepared?

Fariagni was originally preparing to mock him like this, but the next second he suddenly realized something was wrong.

In his astonished sight, the red sword blade that was tightly bound by chains twisted and deformed as if it had been squeezed, and then exploded.

The scalding hot metal flow splashed on him unexpectedly, melting through his clothes, skin and body in an instant.

...They actually took advantage of the "weakness" of ordinary swords that cannot withstand high-temperature flames, melted the sword body in advance, and in turn broke the defense of the foam chain.

It took only a moment for Fariagni to react. The intense burning and pain instantly hit him, causing him to clench his teeth and groan involuntarily.

He was not seriously injured, but the other person was not in such a good condition.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

A sharp scream came from his arms, causing Fariagni's pupils to shrink suddenly.

There was no time to think about anything more. He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain in his body, and rang the bell in his hand.

The girl's attack did catch him off guard, but he was not completely unprepared.

It would be better to say that he had actually been waiting for the moment when the girl would present herself to him!

"jingle……"

A pleasant bell rang, and the puppets that Fariagni had summoned earlier and that were surrounding him suddenly lit up with a dazzling light of pale white.

Then, there was a loud explosion!

“Boom, boom, boom, boom—!”

A series of explosions sounded, the earth shook violently, and the already damaged streets were completely engulfed by the flames of the explosions. The girl's figure also disappeared in the pale white light that shot up into the sky.

Under the protective shield formed by the "blue sky" light that separated the flames, Fariagni breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to lower his head to check on Marian's condition.

In such a close-range explosion, no one can escape except for a few special beings, not even the "Killer with Flaming Hair and Burning Eyes".

...Originally, that's what he thought.

"Zheng——!"

With a slight buzzing sound of metal cutting through the air, the curtain wall of light white flames was instantly cut open, and a sharp cold light suddenly came, passing through the man's body without any hindrance.

next moment……

"Ahhhh!"

The severe pain from the right side of his body finally made Fariagni unable to suppress his screams. He staggered back two steps and fell to the ground, covering his right half of the body with his left hand.

Light white flames continuously overflowed from the fractured surface, as if implying his vitality was fading away.

"How is it possible for you!?"

The blazing red hair fluttered in the wind, the red lotus-colored fire powder filled the whole body, and the burning eyes flashed with dazzling fiery light. In the girl's hand, was a cold sword wrapped in flames.

Fariagni gritted his teeth and looked at Shana, who was unharmed in front of him, as if he was confirming something.

Then, his eyes fell on the pink beret on the girl's head, which had appeared there without him noticing, and a hint of realization finally flashed in his eyes.

"I see... Another defensive treasure..."

"Fariagni, the Hunter..."

Shana tightly grasped the Zhidianzana in her hand and stared closely at the Red Demon King in front of her.

I was forced to use this treasure...

Recalling the shameful action she had just been forced to do, Shana gritted her teeth secretly, pointed the tip of the knife at the man who collapsed on the ground, and said coldly: "That's it."

"..."

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Fariagni always feels like the girl seems to have taken some resentment onto him.

(The winner has been decided, it's time to end this battle.)

However, just as Shana was thinking this and preparing to step forward to learn about the life of this "Red World Devil"...

"!?"

At the same time, Shana and Fariagni seemed to sense something and turned their heads to look into the distance.

In the perception of the two people, a sense of disharmony that was out of place and like a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the world.

"This is... the Apostle?"

Moreover, judging from the number of auras, there are two...

No, it's three strands! ?

The moment she realized this, Shana suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart...

Chapter 296: "City Devouring" Begins

A new "Apostle" has come to this city!

The moment she realized this, Shana's heart sank slightly.

At present, Fariagni has not been resolved. If a new "Apostle" comes...

No, now is not the time to think about this.

She gritted her teeth and turned around hastily, only to find that Fariagni, who was originally slumped on the ground, was already burning with a light white flame, enveloping him and the dying doll in his arms.

"I admit that I underestimated you, so even if you win this time..."
