The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

She transformed into a slightly immature girl, but her figure was already taking shape.

“I can feel the fatigue and pain disappearing,” Kiana slowly opened her eyes and raised her hand, which was covered by a special tactical glove. “Power is surging... It’s still a little short, but it should be enough.”

After the system gradually loosened the constraints, she could feel that her strength had been greatly restored.

The fact that the original Valkyrie battle suit can be reproduced is the best proof of this.

Although what I'm wearing is a shrunken, younger version, it's still much better than simply relying on a regular school uniform to cover my body and provide protection.

If it were me now, I should be able to fight Berserker, right?

“It’s still heavy,” Kiana said, slowly gripping the Flame King Sword in her hand and plunging it hard into the floor, “but it’s much lighter than before.”

After saying that, Kiana raised the Blazing King Sword with both hands, pointing the blade at the Berserker who was poised to attack.

At this very moment, this extremely powerful heroic spirit is wielding a primal battle blade, staring intently at him.

He shouldn't have been carrying a weapon, yet he took out the weapon he had used in his life.

This peculiar phenomenon can perhaps be explained by the system's claim that it will cause irreversible effects.

"what!!!"

Berserker roared and slammed his foot on the floor in an instant.

He approached like a cannonball, his hunting intent for killing hundreds of animals fully revealed.

"drink!"

Without much hesitation, Kiana raised the Flame King Sword and charged forward.

'bump! '

The bizarre elements collide and burst forth with a breathtaking brilliance.

Compared to the light from before, it wasn't particularly dazzling, but the shockwaves and ear-piercing sounds caused by the clash of weapons made Miyu, who was watching the battle from above the cave, tremble from the bottom of her heart.

"Kiana...is fighting that monster?"

"It seems so, Miyu-sama. Surprisingly, this magician of unknown origin seems to be far more extraordinary than we imagined."

Sapphire's calm and collected analysis.

Created by a top figure in the magical path, it was also surprised and puzzled by the battle taking place in the lower levels.

Although we've already gleaned from Rin's few words that this little girl is actually a magician.

But she never expected that a mere magician could fight against such a monster.

Although she was clearly inferior in terms of physique and strength.

But thanks to his extraordinary combat experience and incredible magical skills.

In an instant, the dark blue giant was slashed twice.

"It's really puzzling."

Sapphire made this remark, then changed the subject, saying:

"That's great, Miyu-sama! With her here, it seems like this card will be successfully retrieved soon!"

"Sapphire, you were careless..."

Miyu didn't respond with much enthusiasm to the optimism surrounding sapphire.

It wasn't because she didn't trust Kiana; in fact, she never underestimated this partner who always brought her surprises.

The main reason she remained on the sidelines and observed the battle was because...

Berserker is really too difficult to deal with.

Or perhaps, he was simply too powerful.

Since the start of the battle, Berserker has already been killed by the sword twice.

However, after being pierced through the heart, decapitated, and hacked at wildly by a giant sword.

He was still able to stand up again with great vigor, wielding that almost outrageous battle blade, turning the tide of the battle and forcing Kiana into a situation where she had no choice but to defend passively.

"Ugh... Troublesome!"

Kiana only truly understood the meaning of the trial after actually fighting Berserker.

It wasn't just a trial for him; it could also be described as a trial for himself.

Berserker seems to gain a significant boost in power with each rebirth.

After a series of deaths, this heroic spirit's strength gradually began to be fully revealed.

'boom!'

Berserker raised his battle blades with both hands and swung them with such ferocity that they created afterimages.

In an instant, pebbles flew everywhere.

The ground beneath Kiana's feet gradually cracked and shattered due to the fierce attack.

Despite wielding the Blazing King's Sword as before, intending to confront Berserker head-on.

However, it must be said that her berserk state is incredibly powerful. Even though her strength has not fully recovered, every time she blocks a slash from a battle blade, she can feel a domineering and insane power emanating from the point where the blades touch.

His overwhelming strength nearly knocked the sword out of her hand.

"Cough! Don't come any closer!"

Finally, after being relentlessly attacked and feeling somewhat exhausted, Kiana used the power of the gem she had finally obtained, causing the King Sword to erupt with astonishing lightning.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Berserker paused for a moment after witnessing the thunder's might.

It was precisely because of this brief pause that he lost the hard-won opportunity to suppress others...

"Take this!" Kiana swung her sword fiercely, and the power of thunder pierced the sky, instantly engulfing Berserker's tall body.

Sentimental Magical Girls (Fairy Tale): Chapter 38 Miraculous Jewel Magic

Under the corrosive influence of the Conqueror's power, Berserker was engulfed by the power of lightning in a mere instant.

In just a short while, he was electrocuted and his whole body was smoking. In the flashes of electricity, you could even see the shadow of his bones.

Such a powerful attack would inevitably cause serious damage even to heroic spirits with strong vitality.

"...Ugh!"

After being completely engulfed by the lightning, Berserker inevitably collapsed to the ground, and soon lost his life once again...

However, with his tenacity and resilience, he would never give up so easily.

As the Noble Phantasm, a culmination of his past life experiences, was activated, Berserker's eyes, which had lost their color, instantly regained their luster.

It was under that terrifyingly fierce gaze that the livid giant slammed his fist on the floor and rose to fight again.

However, when he looked around, in the boundless darkness, he couldn't see anyone else except himself.

Where is Kiana now?

Having lost his target, Berserker slowly turned his gaze to the hole in the ceiling.

"Ow!!!"

After letting out a terrifying roar, the hero, who had been reborn multiple times and was now close to his full strength, leaped into the air.

The plan is to find the intruders inside the building and eliminate them completely...

...

"How are you? Is Kiana alright? Miyu, how about you?"

Inside the building in the Mirror World, Rin supported Miyu, who was carrying Kiana on her back, while closely observing the surrounding situation.

A gloomy and terrifying stairwell, a desolate landscape with no one around.

All of this makes me feel depressed.

However, it's strange.

When Rin first entered this place, she thought that the environment would pose a significant threat to her plan to collect cards.

However, after her first encounter with Berserker, she was surprised to find the space too cramped.

This provides them with a good place to hide.

Berserker, on the other hand, was constantly hampered by his enormous size.

"It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, Luvia! Cheer up, what are you looking at?"

"N-nothing. Speaking of which, Rin... oh no, you brat from the Tohsaka family, aren't you scared?"

"Huh?" Rin glanced at her colleague, finding her question utterly absurd. "What's there to be afraid of? We're not at our wits' end yet. But you... are you starting something? Or are you afraid?"

"What a joke! Cough cough, oh ho ho! To provoke me with such words is truly laughable, Tohsaka family—!"

Although Luvia's hands were trembling uncontrollably, she still maintained that haughty smile.

This should have been something to complain about.

But because so many unexpected events occurred during this battle, Rin didn't even have the patience to let her finish speaking:

"Hey. Miyu, put her down first."

At this moment, the group fled upwards and found an empty room as a hiding place.

Inside the room, some real-world furniture was projected, although most of the furniture had lost its original color and emitted an uncomfortable colored light.

But for now, they couldn't care less about that and had to endure the environment in the room to rest and recuperate.

"Oh well!"

At Rin's command, Miyu immediately laid Kiana down against the wall and began to observe her condition.

result...

Why...did she become like this?

Although they noticed something unusual after rescuing him from the field, it wasn't until this moment that Miyu and the other two finally realized it.

Kiana is acting strange!
