The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"Huh? Oh... I see."

Kiana nodded.

Seeing this, Emilia smiled, then opened her ear and slowly said.

"That's good. I'm really happy that you agree with me."

Kiana smiled happily as well.

"It's already very kind of you to trust me and accept my help, Emilia."

"You're too kind. Actually, I admire you very much; it's already incredibly fortunate that someone like you is willing to help me."

As Emilia spoke, she secretly glanced at Kiana's reaction, hoping to catch some unusual reaction on Kiana's face.

However, to her disappointment, Kiana showed no particular reaction, only a calm expression, as if what she had just said was not something to be happy about at all. Her face still wore a faint smile, as if she would not panic for a moment even if the mountains collapsed and the mansion crumbled.

"All right..."

Emilia sighed.

Kiana's performance really surprised her, and she was filled with doubt.

She couldn't understand why Kiana wanted to help her.

She didn't believe Kiana was someone who would do anything for honor and money, but if Kiana really did choose to help her for honor and money, then why did she do that?

Emilia thought about it for a long time, but in the end she could only bury her doubts in her heart and not mention them for the time being.

Kiana's purpose is simple; perhaps she only wants to help herself because of the chivalrous spirit?

That's enough; I don't need to know any more.

Thinking this, Emilia couldn't help but feel more favorably toward Kiana, and her eyes revealed a deep affection for her.

Kiana also noticed Emilia's change in attitude towards her, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh right, Emilia—!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a 'crack!' sound rang out.

The bedroom window was smashed open.

Several men in black, wearing strange cloaks and peculiar masks, barged in.

They held weapons in their hands...

...

These weirdos have actually broken into Emilia's room!

Seeing this scene, Kiana's face immediately turned cold.

Although she had a vague idea when Celine issued the warning.

But I didn't expect the attack to be so swift and decisive, with them actually breaking into my home with real weapons.

"You've come at the perfect time!"

With the enemy attack imminent, Kiana knew there was no need to sit idly by and wait for death, so she immediately stood up from the bed and summoned the Flame King Sword with a swift wave of her hand.

The firelight flashed, and the dozen or so men in black who rushed into the house, as well as the dozens of men in black outside the door, were all intimidated by this terrifying aura.

However, their unwavering faith led them not to back down, but to rise to the challenge.

"kill!"

Kiana's expression darkened upon seeing this.

In an instant, the flames were dazzling and the sounds of battle were deafening.

If Miracles Have Color (re0): Chapter Twenty-Four: The Unslack Believers

"Miss Emilia, how have you been?"

While Kiana was dealing with her companions, the group of strangely dressed people walked to the bedside. The leader waved his hand, and immediately one of them used a strip of cloth to gag him, while another held a knife to Emilia's neck, preventing her from moving.

"How are you? Do you still recognize me?"

The leader looked at Emilia and asked with a grin.

Emilia, however, had no intention of answering his question. She simply asked coldly with a wary expression, "Who exactly are you people?" Her eyes were filled with anger. She had never known that these people could be so despicable as to do such a thing.

"Who we are doesn't matter, but we only have one goal: you!"

The masked man at the head of the group answered calmly.

It was as if he wasn't a person, but merely a simple tool.

This is the enemy whose thinking has been distorted.

"Hmph, Parker!"

Emilia, who was being held hostage, did not panic. After all, Kiana was still fighting, so how could she run away?

She suddenly threw a punch, hitting the glasses of the man holding the knife next to her, and then turned around after striking him.

"Ow!"

After a short wait, the contracted beast named Parker suddenly appeared.

As a powerful spell was unleashed, strong gusts of wind suddenly swept through the room.

The men in black were blown askew by the howling wind.

Kiana, on the other hand, stood unmoved in place, sword in hand, glaring angrily at the many enemies before her.

Kiana!

Emilia, having broken free of her restraints, shouted out.

"Don't move, just protect them. Leave everything to me."

Upon hearing Emilia's voice, Kiana turned around and smiled slightly at her.

"Ok!"

Emilia nodded without saying anything.

Although she was worried about Kiana, she believed in Kiana's strength, so she relaxed and stopped being so tense.

"You guys are really that powerful? I advise you to surrender quickly, otherwise..."

The men in black, who had barely managed to stand up after scrambling to their feet, were astonished to see the woman standing before them, dressed in a maid outfit and wielding a special greatsword. They hadn't expected her to be so easy to deal with, managing to eliminate so many of them in a single move.

"Come at me all at once, and call your companions outside too. I'll make you back down!"

Kiana glanced disdainfully at the men in black before her and said indifferently.

"Ha! We'll see just how powerful you are all by yourself!"

The men in black laughed loudly, and then rushed forward like madmen.

Their madness is truly astonishing.

Kiana was surprised that these attackers remained unmoved after witnessing supernatural power. Were they not afraid of death?

Are they all risking their lives by rushing forward one after another?

However, Kiana's surprise only lasted a short while before vanishing completely.

On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes.

Blood could spill on the spot at any moment, leaving one helpless and filled with resentment.

"Hmph, since you don't value your lives, then... I'll just have to grant your wish!"

Kiana gave a soft hum, then flicked her wrist, and the longsword in her hand sliced ​​through the air. In an instant, streaks of red lightning appeared and spread outwards.

The men in black who rushed forward were immediately struck by a powerful bolt of lightning, and they fell to the ground with screams of agony.

"What kind of power is this! Aren't you a fire mage?!"

The group was stunned.

They hadn't expected Kiana to possess such advanced skills.

Even more unexpectedly, she would choose to use the power of the Conquest Gem, a rare occurrence for her.

However, these men in black did not give up.

After their first attack failed, they pounced on Kiana again.

This time, however, those people did not use magic. Instead, they picked up their weapons and charged at Kiana.

"Troublesome!"

Kiana shouted, and with a flick of her wrist, the longsword in her hand danced into a beautiful flower once again.

'Boom!'

A thick bolt of lightning struck the bodies of the men in black, blasting them all away.

"Cough! Pfft!"

One person coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground.

The others were immediately jolted awake, each clutching their chests in disbelief.

They hadn't expected that their opponent would injure them all with just a few swings of his sword.

This strength is truly terrifying, far exceeding their expectations.

And this girl looks so young, how could she be so powerful?

No wonder those captured assassins were so wary of this girl.

"I told you, come at me all at once!"

Kiana glanced indifferently at the people lying on the ground.

"Go! Kill her!"

The leader of the men in black could no longer sit still. He quickly got up from the ground and shouted loudly to his brothers.

Kill them!
