I loaded the dream game

Besides...

"Even if I didn't kill him, didn't I at least succeed in preventing the "City Devouring" from launching?"

Since the target of "Devouring the City" is the entire city, then as long as the city no longer exists, it will no longer be possible to activate it, right?

Xia Zhi thought so.

It was because he had confirmed at the beginning that the damage caused in the seal that cut off cause and effect would not affect the integrity of the city in the main mission, that he dared to do so. Otherwise, with this fireball just now, the integrity of Misaki City would probably drop below 40%, right?

As expected, Feng Jue is really useful. Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Having said that, one always feels a little unsafe... Initially, in order to control the power of the explosion and prevent it from breaking through the range of the blockade, it was not allowed to cover the entire city.

So, should we have a few more? Like the MIRVs...

Xia Zhi thought hesitantly in his heart.

On the other side, Alastair fell into a long silence.

Compared to Shana, as the "God of Heavenly Punishment", he knows better what happened just now.

Is this really a power that an ordinary fire mist warrior can control? He couldn't help but doubt it in his heart.

Apart from anything else, judging from the destructive power displayed, this was far beyond all the Red World Demon Kings he knew. This was simply not a power that a "mortal" - even the Demon Kings who were extremely powerful in the eyes of ordinary people - could possess.

The only one who could possibly do this is...

Alastair's heart trembled, and a term emerged in his mind:

——Red World Devil

"Xiazhi, you..."

After a moment's silence, just when he was finally about to ask, he suddenly heard a weak cough not far away from him.

"Cough...cough..."

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned, and turned around, only to see a man in white clothes with burn marks and wounds all over his body, and light white flames coming out of his whole body. He was standing unsteadily in place, looking at them with eyes full of resentment.

"..."

So you are here?

Xia Zhi turned around and looked at the Misaki City in the distance, which had been basically turned into ruins by him, and fell silent.

So, I was... bombing in the wrong direction?

Xia Zhi glanced at the flaming-haired girl beside him with some guilt, and saw that she was watching Fariagni warily not far away and didn't seem to notice this matter. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, it's you..."

Fariagni's eyes were fixed on Xia Zhi and the others. His voice was hoarse and weak, but full of resentment.

The secret method of "Eating the City" was forcibly interrupted when there were only one or two steps left to complete. In addition, Marian died in the devastating explosion...

The long-cherished dream, the hard work, everything, including myself and Marianne, forever

The collapse of all this almost made him lose his mind.

"So, go to hell!"

He shouted, pointing his standard-issue revolver at the men in front of him.

"." Be careful! That is a treasure that can break the dormant state of the contracted demon king and force them to break through the "container" to manifest. Don't get hit! "Alastor recognized this famous treasure that was specially used to deal with the fire mist warriors at a glance, and hurriedly warned.

Generally speaking, because the power of the Red World Demon King is too strong, he can only exist in a dormant form in the body of the Fire Mist Warrior, which serves as a "container". Once this dormancy is broken, the "container" that cannot contain the full power of the Demon King will inevitably break, and the Red World Demon King in the world will have to return to the Red World in order to avoid the balance between the two worlds being destroyed because he does not have enough power to exist.

In other words, this is a weapon designed for the Fire Mist Warrior. No matter how strong the opponent is, it can definitely kill him with one blow once it hits!

Realizing this, Shana's eyes were immediately filled with vigilance.

It only works if it hits you... In other words, as long as you're careful not to get hit, you'll be fine, right?

However, just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard the clear sound of a bell again.

"jingle……"

"!?"

Along with the crisp ringing sound, Shana suddenly caught a glimpse of a pale white light on the ground beside her (good thing), which made her pupils shrink suddenly.

Is he using a very threatening Noble Phantasm to attract attention and hide his true intention of attack?

Without having time to think about it, Shana gritted her teeth and hugged Yang Noi tightly, who had no time to react.

Then...

"boom--!"

A light white explosion shot up into the sky, and two figures flew out from the flames and fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

After coughing twice and confirming that Mistis, who was protected in her arms, was fine, Shana breathed a sigh of relief.

…Oh, right, summer solstice!

The girl seemed to suddenly realize something, and hurriedly got up from the ground and looked towards the center of the explosion.

Then, she saw a scene in which a pale white flame rose up, accompanied by a not-so-loud gunshot, and a pale blue bullet broke through the flames, leaving a clear trajectory in the air, and accurately hit the boy's chest...

At this moment, Shana felt as if her heart had suddenly stopped beating...

Chapter 300: The Star God Appears

Time goes back ten seconds.

Seeing the light white flame about to explode, Xia Zhi subconsciously turned his head. After seeing that Shana had gone to protect Yang Nai, he thought about it and decided not to intervene. Instead, he set his sights on Fariagni not far away.

To be honest, this was the first time he had seen the first Red World Demon King who died in the original novel... He was nominally one of the top five demon kings in modern times, but it seemed like he was just that?

Xia Zhi looked at Fariagni, who was pointing a revolver at him with a resentful look on his face, and couldn't help feeling a little curious.

This seemed to be the first time that someone had a gun pointed at him like this...By the way, should he say something at a time like this?

That’s right, just this one.

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi pretended to be calm and said, "I bet there is no bullet in your gun..."

"boom!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sudden sound of gunfire.

Along with a light blue flame emerging from the muzzle of the gun, the bullet condensed by the power of existence whizzed, dragging a light blue flame in the air and accurately hitting his chest.

And then... nothing happened.

"..."

No, how can you be so unethical? I'm still reciting my lines.

Xia Zhi raised his head and looked at Fariagni with dissatisfaction, but found that the other party was staring at him blankly, with an incredible look in his eyes, as if he had seen something incomprehensible.

"You... why are you fine?" After a while, Fariagni asked in a voice that was forced to be calm but still sounded a little trembling.

Things? What things?

Xia Zhi looked at his chest where he was hit in confusion.

"Where's your contracted demon king? Why didn't he show up!?"

The final killer move didn't work, and Fariagni couldn't help but lose his composure.

Could it be that the treasure has no effect on him?

But... this is impossible? That is a power that distorts reality and is close to the rules. Even the three demon gods at the top theoretically cannot be exempted from the power of the treasure outside of their authority.

Who is this young man in front of me?

"Oh, you're talking about this..."

After thinking about it, after all, I am now a Fire Mist Warrior. It seems that it is really inconsistent with my current "personality" to have no reaction after being hit by this gun.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Zhi looked at the other party and asked, "Do you want to meet her?"

Fariagni was stunned for a moment.

Can I still decide this myself?

On the other side, without paying any more attention to the stunned enemy, Xia Zhi mentally woke up the sleeping Star God Girl and asked her, "Ai Lu Ke, do you want to come over here to play?"

"Eh? Is it really possible?" Ai Lu Ke, who had just woken up, was obviously stunned after hearing his words. He felt a sense of surprise at first, but then became a little hesitant: "But...if I go over like this, there will probably be some trouble over at Xia Zhi, right?"

"Is that so... forget it then." Xia Zhi said after thinking about it.

"Xia Zhi!" Hearing him say that, Ai Lu Ke became a little angry and shouted his name angrily.

Xia Zhi chuckled and asked again: "So, do you want to come over?"

"Well..." After hearing his words, Ai Luke, who had been rejected once, hesitated a little, but finally nodded and agreed: "Well... okay."

Since the girl agreed.

"So……"

Xia Zhi took a deep breath, placed his hand gently on the ring on his left hand, and then calmed down a little.

There is no need to expend much effort in searching, after all, his consciousness is originally linked to that of the Star God Girl.

"Om..."

Along with a slight buzzing sound, a faint light suddenly appeared on the ring.

The next moment, the faint light suddenly grew stronger, illuminating everything around.

"..."

As the Star God Girl was about to descend into this world, Xia Zhi suddenly realized something...

Compared to him, who used a mark to "seal" the influence of his own overly large existence on the surrounding things, it seems that Ailu Ke has not made any restrictions yet?

"Bam—!"

Sparks as bright as the Milky Way shot up into the sky, covering the entire sky...

……

"..."

Staring blankly at the sparks rising in the distance as if to engulf the entire world, Shana felt her mind go blank, and Alastair's words seemed to still echo in her ears.

"Once hit, the demon king in the body will be forced to appear."

don't want……

"The rupture of the 'Container' means the complete death of the Fire Mist Warrior who is the contractor."

don't want……

In the distance, flames formed by the gathered starlight constantly intertwined, entangled, and constructed in the void, gradually outlining a petite and cute human figure like magic.

Shana knew clearly that the girl who gradually emerged from the star-like flames, with her eyes closed and long crimson hair, who looked like a real fairy tale character, was the "Contracted Demon King" named Eluke that the boy had mentioned before.

And her appearance also means the summer solstice...

Thinking of this, Shana's heart suddenly tightened, and an inexplicable fear came over her.

She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she felt that she couldn't handle such a thing.

...I don't want to accept it.

Absolutely, I don’t want to accept it!

"Summer Solstice..."

The girl murmured softly, took a step forward unconsciously, and rushed into the still burning flames regardless of Alastair's warnings and attempts to stop her.

The flames burned, but there was no burning pain at all, instead there was a warm feeling.

But Shana didn't have the mind to care about so many things now. Her eyes kept searching anxiously in the blazing flames, trying to find the familiar figure.

“Summer Solstice!”

She anxiously called out the boy's name, expecting no response, but...
