The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Page 353

At the entrance of the alley, a white-haired girl stood still, pointing in a direction with her delicate hand.

Because the girl was in a place bathed in light, no one could clearly see her appearance or clothing.

Only her very noticeable white hair was vaguely discernible...

"That voice..."

"Is it the target?"

"How could we meet here!"

The adventurers looked at each other, their faces filled with barely concealed terror.

They gripped their weapons with trembling hands, filled with apprehension and fear towards the girl who stood at the entrance.

After all, who could have imagined that while they were still recruiting, the real target would suddenly appear?

Next...

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's kill her first!"

Several adventurers immediately drew their weapons from their waists and rushed towards the girl.

"you?"

Seeing this, Kiana's expression darkened, and she quickly tried to step forward to stop the group.

However, just as Kiana made a move, she was stopped by Sirin beside her.

"Don't rush. These adventurers are no match for you, or even for Emilia. Let's wait and see what they're up to before we make a decision."

After Sirin finished speaking, Kiana calmed down a bit.

Yes.

Although she didn't know why these adventurers had suddenly decided to harm someone, Kiana guessed that Emilia, who was qualified to be a candidate, must have considerable strength.

So I'll stop worrying about it for now.

However...

Suddenly, one of the men surrounding Emilia leaped up and swung his knife down, striking at her head.

But she didn't shy away at all, which was really strange.

"What, what's going on? Is she scared? Why isn't she moving aside? She's just standing there?"

Upon seeing what was happening before her eyes, Kiana's eyes widened in disbelief.

And in that instant...

"Parker!"

With Emilia's soft exclamation, a strange creature that looked like a cat appeared instantly.

"Pfft!"

The man was suddenly struck by an unknown force and sent flying more than ten meters away, crashing into the alley wall and creating a large dent before finally coming to a stop. He coughed up blood, stared at the other man in terror, and then fainted.

This is?

Kiana was amazed by what she was seeing.

"You, you?"

"Hmph! I'll tell you!"

The girl snorted coldly, then walked towards the group, her eyes filled with disdain and dissatisfaction: "Who rushes at you the moment they meet? Are you assassins who've been bribed?"

If Miracles Have Colors (re0): Chapter 11 Kiana Saves the Beauty

Upon hearing these words, the adventurers were quite frightened and didn't even know how to refute them for a moment.

After all, weren't they just bribed assassins?

"Is that... your contracted beast?"

"Candidate Emilia... is definitely not an easy character to deal with."

"Boss, we..."

The men's faces darkened as they stared at their target. They hesitated, unable to utter the same harsh words they had before.

They couldn't sense what kind of power the girl had just used.

As for the strange creature that looked like a cat, they had no idea what it was.

Overall, this should be a special creature belonging to the category of magic.

It's very troublesome...

"Since that's the case, we don't need to be polite with her anymore. Everyone, attack! No matter what it takes, we must take her down!"

One of them said menacingly, his tone full of threat.

Upon hearing his words, the others nodded and picked up their weapons, ready to commit the crime.

Their target is Emilia, who is all alone!

Seeing their actions, Kiana frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "It seems these people are serious."

Although the candidate named Emilia was not afraid of these people, it was not the right time to confront them head-on.

After all, she didn't know the strength of the other party. As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. Right now, she was surrounded and attacked.

In case something unexpected happens...

I have a feeling something bad is going to happen.

With that thought in mind, Kiana silently picked up the King's Sword, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

However, just as she was preparing to face the attack and save Emilia, the four suddenly turned around and did not attack the target directly. Instead, they quickly retreated, as if they wanted to escape.

Kiana was taken aback when she saw their actions.

Are they afraid of Emilia's strength?

Kiana immediately rejected the idea, as it was clearly unrealistic.

The target had already been identified, and they just ran away without even making a basic attempt...

So all that talk about having a strategy was just bragging and nonsense?

Thinking of this, Kiana looked into the distance with some confusion.

"What's going on? Why did you guys stop fighting?"

Watching the departing figures of those people, Kiana, filled with doubt, couldn't help but ask.

The other person seemed to completely ignore her, leaving only the sound of footsteps.

Seeing this, Kiana and Emilia looked at each other, neither of them understanding the reason behind it.

"I said, you wouldn't be...?"

Emilia, feeling slightly puzzled, walked over slowly and casually tucked her snow-white hair behind her ear.

Just then, something strange happened!

The previously calm ground suddenly cracked open, and a huge black monster abruptly emerged from it, causing the ground tiles to shatter and the floorboards to bulge out!

This monster was enormous, measuring three meters long, and covered in scales, resembling a giant lizard.

It's obvious at a glance that they're not an easy opponent to deal with.

It exuded a strong aura of death.

Its eyes gleamed with a scarlet light as it stared intently at Emilia and Kiana.

Before long, the monster opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and a bloodthirsty ferocity hung at the corners of its mouth.

"What is this thing?"

Upon seeing the monster's appearance, Kiana was greatly alarmed and hurriedly turned around to grab Emilia's hand and retreat temporarily.

However, before she could take more than a few steps, the monster suddenly moved, its target heading straight for Emilia in the distance!

"What's this!"

Emilia was frightened by the enemy and retreated in a panic, seemingly because the enemy was too fierce. Puck also retreated, trying to avoid the monster's attack.

However, accompanied by several 'whoosh whoosh whoosh!' sounds, several arrows suddenly flew in from afar.

Almost every shot barely grazed Emilia's body, which shows how threatening they were.

"What's going on? Who's there...?"

Seeing the arrow deeply embedded in the ground, Emilia realized something was wrong and immediately had Puck create a magical barrier to defend against it.

Unfortunately, the magical barrier that could withstand the arrows didn't last long before it was smashed through by the four-legged giant lizard.

"How could this be!"

Emilia's eyes widened, and she gasped in surprise.

That monster actually broke through Parker's defenses?

No wonder they targeted me!

So you were prepared?

Realizing this, Emilia's pretty face darkened, and she quickly dodged to the side.

However...

The monster's speed was unbelievable; in just a moment, it caught up with Emilia and Puck.

As the monster drew closer, both Emilia and Puck's faces showed terror...

Just then!

Kiana waved her hand.
