The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

A large treasure chest by the roadside instantly caught her attention...

"Treasure chest!"

At that moment, Ying felt her DNA move!

At this moment, Kiana also received a new mission.

Song of Flames and Lightning (Genshin Impact Inazuma Main Story): Chapter Two: I've been looking for you, Luminous.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully triggered the world [Teyvat] encounter quest: Look, there's a precious treasure chest!]

[How to complete the mission: Assist the main character, the Traveler, in defeating the disciple, Okazaki Kunihiko.]

[Completing this task will reward you with 100 Herrscher Points.]

"A precious treasure chest?"

Kiana glanced at the treasure chest beside this so-called disciple, Okazaki Kunihiko.

I pretty much understand that Ying is falling for him.

After all, to overlook any treasure chest in sight would be to desecrate her status as the fourth calamity.

"Iwakura-ryu? I remember a bit about that school... but they're not exactly tough opponents."

After spending some time in this world and fighting against some seemingly powerful enemies.

Kiana has gained a preliminary understanding of the strength of the monsters in Teyvat.

However, she does not intend to take direct action.

Instead, they decided to wait and see.

“A foreigner, huh? A good candidate for testing my skills.” The man dressed as a member of the Nobushi clan slowly drew his sword.

Even though the person in front of him was just an innocent little girl, he felt no pity whatsoever.

At that moment, Ying sensed danger.

"He is very strong, completely different from ordinary Nobushiju."

"Traveler, watch out! This Wild Abomination is charging at us!" Paimon's warning came unexpectedly.

Just like the arrival of the enemy, Ying had no time to answer before she had to raise her sword to parry.

'when!'

The bladeless sword and the Nobushiki's katana sparked a dazzling display of light.

The moment the two sides clashed, the difference in skill became immediately apparent.

However, the tall and fierce-looking Nobushi was at a disadvantage.

"You? You're a good candidate for testing my skills!"

Faced with a formidable enemy, Kunihiko Okazaki showed no fear; instead, he fought with increasing ferocity.

He raised his sword with both hands and swung it with all his might at Ying.

The speed at which the knife was swung was so fast that it even created afterimages.

"A tough opponent."

Although Ying is quite skilled, she still struggles against such a crazed enemy.

She nimbly dodged Okazaki Kunihiko's sword swings, nearly succeeding several times, but her opponent was no pushover either, practically trading blows for injuries in a life-or-death struggle with her.

This scene made Kiana, who was watching from a distance, feel inexplicably heartbroken.

"What a crazy enemy, but with Ying's skills, she shouldn't have been defeated."

After all, as a traveler from another world, this is not her forte.

"drink!"

Ying roared and stomped on the ground, instantly unleashing a shockwave from her rock elemental power.

Elemental forces are an incredibly powerful force in this world.

The mere elite of the Wild Ambush Clan dared not parry, and abruptly sheathed their swords and jumped backward.

"That was close!"

Now that the two sides have started fighting, Ying will naturally not hold back.

She suddenly raised her hand, and the power of the rock element surged once more.

"Desolate Star. Fall!"

With the appearance of the desolate star, Nobushige took a solid hit from a powerful attack.

"Hmm...you have a slight edge."

Kunihiko Okazaki knelt down, seemingly admitting defeat.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, like a fallen corpse, Ying felt that the battle was over.

Now it's time for the fun of collecting treasure chests!

however.

You were careless!

Unlike the usual Nobushiku, Okazaki Kunihiko suddenly raised his head.

Ying, who was about to pass by him to open the treasure chest, instantly realized that danger was approaching.

"Oops!"

"drink!"

With a swift movement, Kunihiko Okazaki drew his sword, the blade slicing through the hair on Ying's forehead and cutting off a few strands of golden hair.

Taking the blow head-on, Ying was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Paimon appeared in front of her and pretended to be scared.

The ruthless Nobushiju would not let this golden opportunity slip by, and raised his katana to strike.

Seeing this, Ying decisively raised her sword to parry and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

'when!'

The sound of swords clashing rang out again, mixed with the faint sound of flames burning fiercely.

However, this time, it was Kunihiko Okazaki who was at a disadvantage.

And the sword is not a plain, unadorned, edgeless sword.

"Who goes there?!"

Looking at the unmoving greatsword, Nobushige was filled with astonishment.

He pressed down hard on the blade, but he couldn't budge the Flame King Sword in the slightest.

The sword's owner found Nobushi's overestimation of his abilities laughable.

Kiana turned around and smiled at Ying, causing the latter to blush without realizing it.

"My name is Kiana."

"Kiana? Another foreigner? Heh, then you be the one to test my skills!"

Clearly, Kunihiko Okazaki has lost the ability to accurately assess combat strength.

After his attack was easily blocked, he didn't even assess the extraordinary nature of the girl in front of him before withdrawing his sword and intending to repeat the same trick.

"Run there!"

Okazaki Kunihiko let out a roar, and then with lightning speed, he swung his sword straight at Kiana's delicate neck.

There was another 'clang!' sound.

"How...is this possible? What kind of monster are you?!"

The flesh and blood body came into close contact with the steel, producing a clanging sound.

Moreover, with the appearance of cracks in the katana, the katana that could cut enemies down as easily as slicing melons and vegetables became even more formidable.

It actually broke into two pieces in Okazaki Kunihiko's hands...

The mortal weapon he wielded was utterly incapable of withstanding the strain of contact with a Herrscher's body.

"Are you going to admit defeat?"

This ruthless samurai's all-out attack was so weak that Kiana didn't even bother to wipe her neck.

She brandished her sword, her tone calm.

The Flame King Sword then burst into flames.

It made her feel as if a god had descended upon her at that moment.

At this moment, Kunihiko Okazaki finally realized that the person in front of him was a stronger person than he could ever reach.

But he did not back down; instead, he raised the short sword in his hand, his tone filled with fanaticism.

"Okazaki Kunihiko, a disciple of the Iwazo-ryu school, reports for the first time! May I state my name?"

Kiana, a traveler from another world.

"You disdain to reveal your sect's affiliation? No matter, let's fight to our hearts' content!"

For a samurai who would wield his sword against the innocent, to fight and be defeated by the strong is a rare honor.

Okazaki Kunihiko swung his sword with all his might, attempting to reach that unattainable powerhouse at this moment.

It's just a pity about him.

too weak!

Whether it's personality or ability.

"The hour of judgment has come!"

Kiana swung her sword, and the outcome was decided in a single strike.

The Blazing Flame King Sword traced a graceful arc in mid-air.
