The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Page 206

Just as Kujo Sara was pondering what judgment these two would make if they were present.

The castle tower doors slowly opened, and the two girls who had left not long ago...

They actually came back hand in hand like that?

The Battle Between Flame and Lightning and the Abyss (Genshin Impact): Chapter 138 Eradicating the Monsters Rampaging in Konta Village

"General, you...and Kiana, you two?"

Kujo Sara was speechless as she watched the two slowly enter the main hall.

If it weren't for the familiarity with their auras and the fear that welled up within me of powerful creatures...

Perhaps she even thought it was all an illusion.

"Ok?"

Seeing her subordinate's bewildered and shocked expression, Ying glanced at her with some confusion.

"what happened?"

She looked around and saw that most of the other warriors waiting for orders in the main hall also looked terrified.

Seeing this, she released Kiana's hand and looked at everyone present with a rather dignified gaze.

"Report on what happened while I was away."

After all, it was something that the retired rock god Morax specifically reminded him of, so it should not be taken lightly under any circumstances.

As a martial artist, Ying felt it was necessary to face his enemy squarely before making a move.

Let's start by understanding the strengths of both sides.

Therefore, the samurai then began to recount the events to the shadow.

Since this was an internal matter of the shogunate, Kiana simply waited quietly beside the Kage, listening to the samurai's reports as a member of the reinforcements.

To put it simply, recently, many strange magical beasts have been discovered in the Yingxiang Mountain area.

They are hairless and skinless, like works of art pieced together from stones and metal, and possess the ability to float and appear.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this information, Kage roughly understood why these samurai were present here.

What are the casualties?

If they simply appeared, how could these samurai have come all this way?

Clearly, they had all come here seeking help because they had suffered serious injuries.

After all, the area around Kagemaya is adjacent to several other shogunate powers.

Such as remote islands, Shintofu, and Narujin Shrine.

If you're simply asking for help, you'll probably be fine by asking around in these places.

Why did you come here to ask again?

No wonder Morax specifically warned about it; the casualties must have been heavy...

It seemed to be to confirm Ying's conjecture.

The warriors looked at each other, then began to recount their own casualties.

In short, after being attacked by these monsters for the first time, they quickly began to organize manpower to defend themselves.

However, these monsters were far too powerful; ordinary people like them, without the Eye of God, could only manage to repel them.

To completely eradicate...

That's really asking too much of people.

After expressing their inability to help, the samurai all lowered their heads and blamed themselves:

"General, please forgive us. We failed to vanquish the demons and have instead ended up here..."

“You did a great job. From an ordinary person’s perspective, really.”

After all, without the aid of technology and the power of Honkai, ordinary people would have no chance against the monsters that were eroding the world.

It's exactly like a person wielding a wooden stick trying to defeat a skilled soldier with a gun.

The scale of the two sides was never on the same level from the beginning.

Seeing that the warriors were somewhat remorseful, Kiana finally offered a word of comfort, and then turned her gaze to the indifferent-looking Shadow.

"If we let them accompany us, it will only increase casualties. Shadow, shall we set off now?"

"Hmm... if this is your suggestion, then I'll take it."

Having said that, the two, who had only recently returned, didn't even bother to explain the whole story to Kujo Sara before slowly getting up.

They left the castle tower at an extremely fast speed...

Only Kujo Sara and a few bewildered samurai remained standing there, stunned.

"So you're planning to attack so soon? You two are really something..."

...

Gonta Village.

A famous village standing tall in Inazuma.

This area is even considered the transportation hub of the entire Inazuma region.

There are remote islands in front, Kagemiya Shrine above, and Inazuma Castle below.

However, even with such a significant advantage, this place is still not considered wealthy.

This can be seen simply from the thatched houses.

Most of the villagers are elderly, weak, women, and children. Not only are they powerless, but they also occasionally suffer from illnesses, making them the kind of people who will face great disaster when natural disasters strike.

Nowadays, sinister monsters are rampaging around Shadow Mountain, and this place has naturally been affected.

For these villagers, this was truly a catastrophe.

"Help! Monsters are coming!"

An elderly man fell to the ground in a very disheveled state.

The beast hounds chasing from behind seized the opportunity and pounced on him, knocking him to the ground.

This terrifying monster, resembling a mechanical skeleton, opened its blood-red maw, poised to bite down.

At the time of crisis

A samurai sword slashed out from the side, striking the beast hound squarely on the neck.

'when!'

The monster's hardened skin emitted a sound similar to the impact of steel.

However, even though this katana is quite sharp.

But the one wielding the knife was merely a young samurai.

Therefore, even though he repeatedly struck vital points, he was unable to inflict any substantial damage on the Beast Hound.

Fortunately, the samurai attacked in anger, putting in almost all his strength.

After several more slashes, the beast hound finally lost its balance and its head was knocked to the side by the blade.

The old man beneath it seized the opportunity and shakily escaped from the place.

However, even though his crisis was resolved, the crisis for the entire village was not.

"Ow!"

The beast hound let out a fierce roar and leaped towards the reckless warrior.

"They've taken the bait, brothers, come on!"

However, before the reckless warrior could turn and run away, the beast hound bit him.

In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

"what!!!"

The bloody scene terrified the villagers who were fleeing and hiding, causing them to scream in horror.

Some of the village women were so frightened that they wet themselves and knelt on the ground, completely lacking the will to stand up and run away.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly. As the beast-like hunting dog feasted, many more beast-like hunting dogs appeared, roaring.

For a moment, it seemed as if the entire village was about to be wiped out.

Just then, a young girl came rushing from afar like a shooting star.

"Ready, ignite!"

With a single strike of the Flame King Sword, the Beast Realm Hound was incinerated as soon as it touched the residual heat of the flames.

The remaining hunting dogs, upon witnessing the terrifying sight of the white-haired girl, gathered together.

Like a pack of wolves hunting for prey, they circled around her, trying to find her weak point and pounce on her.

However, they may not know this.

Just now, he had missed his only chance to escape...

"Hmph, let me have a go at you."

Just as Kiana was about to slash at the monsters, Shadow arrived late.

Wielding the Nagi no Inari, she and Kiana became a striking sight in this battle.

And in a battle of perfect teamwork, they defeated these monsters.
