The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

After all, she was mostly exposed to more advanced fighting techniques, and she rarely saw such flashy gun skills.

However, curiosity aside...

Let's focus on the task at hand from now on.

"Gan Yu, I'm here to help you!"

After successfully shaking off the troublesome beast hounds, Kiana raised the Blazing King Sword without hesitation and slashed at the King Beast with unstoppable momentum.

With a single sword strike, blazing flames spread and collapsed like lava, all in the blink of an eye.

It then inflicted a devastating fiery wound on the king beast.

"Awoooooo!!!"

Scorched by the flames of the King Sword, the strange king beast, which appeared to have only one head, struggled desperately to escape its predicament.

Despite its strange shape, this king beast with only one head is undeniably enormous.

Simply rolling around on the ground can cause the ground to tremble, stones to fly, and dust to billow.

"Cough cough cough! Damn it, that big dog!"

The flying pebbles and dust affected Gan Yu and Kiana to varying degrees.

For a moment, Kiana didn't even have time to give chase.

The beast then rolled its body, seemingly intending to fly into the air and escape.

However, how could Gan Yu and Kiana, who intended to defeat it, let it escape so easily?

"For the sake of Emperor Yan!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Gan Yu didn't hesitate and immediately unleashed all her immortal power, summoning endless frost to fall from the sky in a short moment.

Caught off guard by such an attack, the beast had no time to dodge and was struck squarely by the frost.

Because it had recently suffered from the ravages of fire, it is now being eroded by ice and cold.

This pain made it, which still had the strength to fight, even weaker.

Upon seeing this, Kiana didn't hesitate and leaped into the air.

"Ready, ignite!"

Seizing the opportunity, she didn't hesitate and unleashed a sword strike.

Flames erupted in mid-air, transforming into a life-consuming wave of fire that burned half of the king beast's neck into lava.

Under the blazing fire, the beast, which had just managed to put up a fight, was forced to plummet to the ground.

'bump! '

With a dull thud, the Beast King Beast crashed heavily to the ground.

"it's over!"

As Kiana descended from the sky, the final moment for the King Beast arrived.

Holding the King's Sword high, she stood atop the King Beast's head, ending the life of this golden creation with a single, fiery strike...

The Battle Between Flame and Lightning and the Abyss (Genshin Impact): Chapter 51 Before you begin your journey, make a wish!

The King's Sword of Fire and Flame descended in an instant, the blazing strike tearing apart the King Beast's incredibly tough body and completely stripping it of its last vestige of life force.

Kiana's sword strike was so powerful that the ground trembled slightly.

The fire spread from the carcasses of wild beasts, turning into waves of flame that swept across the wilderness.

"Damn it!"

Caught off guard, Gan Yu, who had intended to come up and help, hurriedly retreated in an attempt to avoid the deadly wave of heat.

However, this wave was far too rapid.

Even with her agile skills, she was not immune to the corrosive effects of the flames and was in grave danger, almost being swallowed up.

Just as she was about to be completely engulfed by the power unintentionally released by Kiana...

"careful!"

The one who started this power suddenly waved his hand.

The flames froze instantly, as if frozen in time, remaining in place for a long time, transforming into a breathtaking sculpture of fire.

However, even though it was a motionless sculpture, Gan Yu could still feel the scorching heat released by these flames, which seemed to be under command.

"What exactly is going on...?"

Standing for a long time in front of the fiery sculpture, Gan Yu looked at Kiana, whose face was full of apology, with some disbelief.

Suddenly, I felt that this girl was both powerful and unfamiliar.

What is the source of this terrifying power to extinguish flames at will...?

The questions in Gan Yu's heart were now impossible to answer.

After all, the system had repeatedly warned against sharing such important information as gems with anyone else.

Therefore, even though she knew that Gan Yu had countless questions in her heart.

Kiana could only listen silently to the system's task prompts.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the optional side quest: Beast King Beast.]

[Mission Completion Introduction: The Abyss Order's invasion of this world has been thwarted once again. You have done well. Even the Alchemist Gold must now be restraining his creations to prevent further losses.]

[Completing the task will reward you with: Beast Realm Crown.]

As the system notification sound appeared, a simple, light crown, seemingly made of delicate bone, slowly floated in front of Kiana.

"Do...should I wear this?"

Staring at the special equipment given to him by the system, he reached out without thinking, wanting to put it on his head.

However...

[No, host. You only need to hold it.]

Sometimes, the system will also spoil Kiana's fun.

For example, right now...

"Is it enough to just hold it? I thought it was a treasure with a lot of symbolic meaning."

In a sense, yes. It's stated in the item description.

Hearing the system notification, Kiana finally snapped out of her daze and began to check the item description of the crown.

[Beast Realm Crown: This crown is a reward for defeating the Beast Realm King, and it possesses the power to negate the world. It can ignore the restrictions on traversing various planes and summon a certain number of Beast Realm hounds to assist in battle.]

[Equipment Notes: Crown of Bones, a symbol of power.]

"It's a special item that can be summoned? That sounds interesting... I wonder if I'll be able to use it in the next world. Anyway, I'll put it in my backpack for now."

In short, the crown was merely a chance discovery during the journey.

If it can be put to use, that's good; if not...

It didn't prevent me from completing my task, did it?

"Next..."

Kiana put away the crown and then leaped off the corpse of the King Beast.

As she landed, the system notification sounded again:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the optional side quest: Thank you.]

[Quest Completion Introduction: As your journey in this world nears its end, you finally meet the person you wish to thank, Gan Yu. However, at this moment, she is troubled by the evil deeds of some monsters. She could have easily eliminated these monsters on her own, but unfortunately, due to excessive overtime work, her energy is severely scattered, and her judgment is clouded. Therefore, she needs some help.]

[Mission Completion Method: Completely eliminate the monsters surrounding Wangshu Inn and Mingyun Town.]

[Maximum reward for completing the mission: 5000 Herrscher Points.]

[Friendly reminder: The maximum number of days you can stay has been reached, and you are not currently in combat. You will depart this world when the first rays of sunlight appear in the morning.]

"Huh? So heartless..."

Realizing that time was of the essence, Kiana didn't hesitate and lunged at Gan Yu.

"Hey!"

Caught off guard, Gan Yu was tackled to the ground again, where Kiana rubbed against her like a lamb.

"Thank you! Gan Yu, anyway, thank you a lot. Sigh... I was hoping to spend more time with you."

"Ugh... Kiana, be gentle... I'm having trouble breathing..."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I really meant it by pushing a little too hard, but my intentions were genuine!"

After being tapped on the head several times by Gan Yu's soft, fragrant hands, Kiana finally calmed down and stopped touching those suggestive curves.

Thanks to her stopping, Gan Yu was able to cover her chest, her face flushed with embarrassment, and ask:

"Why... suddenly like this?"

“Because I have to go. Sigh,” Kiana slowly reached out and gently stroked the other’s rosy cheek with the back of her fair hand. “I really wanted to taste your cooking again, but there’s not enough time… Remember next time…”

Before she could finish speaking, the first rays of morning sunlight shone upon her.

Just before disappearing, Kiana hurriedly grabbed Gan Yu's hand:

"Remember to say goodbye to Walnut for me!"

"Huh??? Kiana, what exactly are you...?"

Just as Gan Yu was wondering if the powerful white-haired girl had fainted.

The other party, such a large living person, was actually transformed into streaks of light and vanished.

Disappeared?

"What exactly is she...?"

Feeling the overwhelming pressure vanish, Gan Yu sat up from the ground, somewhat bewildered, and looked at Hu Tao, who was walking towards her with a gun.
