Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

Kill! ...

As gray-black scales began to appear on her body, the girl, her eyes filled with murderous intent and hatred, spoke in a cold voice.

"Don't get in my way, or I'll kill you all!"

Seeing Cole's obviously abnormal reaction, the Knights who were originally responsible for hunting Cole became even more worried.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but sense that something was wrong, especially the captain who was leading the group after seeing Cole's performance.

He suddenly recalled the reports submitted by other members of the Knights Order not long ago when they were hunting down the 'arsonist,' and a strange sense of dread and fear inexplicably welled up inside him.

This caused him to suddenly shout at the other team members.

"Quickly open!"

However, it was too late.

Black flames suddenly erupted from the girl with messy, rough green hair in front of him.

In an instant, her body was completely engulfed in black flames. The terrifying flames and black snakes suddenly devoured everything around her and exploded in an instant!

The black flames devoured everything, stretching endlessly until they engulfed everything in sight.

The fully armed knight squad looked like tiny specks, insignificant in the face of this terrifying fire.

Under the scorching heat of this terrifying black fire, several squad members who did not have time to dodge were almost instantly engulfed by the flames and perished completely amidst their pitiful cries.

"Aa ...

Such mournful cries were not just one, but several shrill screams rang out one after another at the same time.

Seeing their initial advantage completely wiped out in an instant, the fully armed squad lost more than half its members in the blink of an eye.

Such a scene made the squad leader feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and an unimaginable chill surged into his mind and spine.

The other surviving members of the squad felt both relieved and filled with anger and fear.

They never imagined that just an ordinary-looking little girl could cause them to suffer such a defeat.

The once full squad was reduced to a third in just a short time. This terrifying power, which could evaporate a person in an instant, made them feel an unprecedented chill.

Looking at the remaining armor from his teammates, only these remnants could prove that they had ever existed.

The group, who had been full of confidence, looked at everything before them and couldn't help but realize a fact.

Weakness is not an obstacle to survival; arrogance is.

Looking at the scene before them, the group was momentarily at a loss and filled with fear. They could only turn to the team leader, who was the backbone of the group, and ask him how to deal with it.

"Captain, what should we do..."

"Captain, what should we do next..."

"What should we do now, Captain..."

Faced with questions from his teammates, the team leader was not in a good state either.

Everything before him was completely beyond his comprehension, leaving him utterly unable to find a solution based on his past experiences.

This situation was completely out of his control, and coupled with the terrifying black flames that left him with no way to deal with them, his experience and judgment led him to make the most correct decision based on the current circumstances.

"This is not something we can handle. Let's retreat!"

The others were taken aback when they received the order, but after analyzing and comparing the situation, they understood.

They quickly realized that the current situation was beyond their control, so they readily accepted the orders given by their squad leader, just as they were about to retreat.

At this moment, the girl in front of them unleashed an even more terrifying power, with black flames rising in the darkness.

The raging fire did not feel hot, but rather a dark, quiet, cold, and terrifying atmosphere, accompanied by a terrifying black serpent that instantly coalesced into its complete form.

The feeling was less like the girl in front of him was using the power of black flames, and more like the black snake wrapped in black flames was the true form.

The part extending from the tail looked as if the black flames had transformed into a black snake that was parasitizing that petite body.

A chill ran down their spines.

Just as their hearts were filled with such fear, the girl whose body was covered in black flames and black snakes looked at them with cold and hateful eyes and said coldly.

"None of them will escape!"

The moment those words left the girl's mouth, the terrifying black snake, its forked tongue flicking, fully revealed its horrifying fangs.

The terrifying black flames expanded again, spreading and burning wildly in a way they couldn't comprehend.

With its terrifying power and the horrifying ability to incinerate everything, everyone present was stunned by this terrifying force.

The constant, almost constant alarm bells in their minds were ringing so loudly, telling them that if they were to be drawn into this terrifying force, the consequences would be obvious.

That would mean certain death!

Seeing the horrific scene before him, he, as the captain of the knight squad, couldn't help but hate his own arrogance.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have acted so rashly.

He should have notified the more powerful members of the Knights Order to resolve and handle the matter; if he had been more cautious, none of this would have happened.

But there are no "what ifs" in this world; they must pay the price for their recklessness and arrogance.
