The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Swords clashed fiercely, and the sparks they emitted seemed to dispel some of the darkness.

An invisible wave of energy spread out from there, causing the onlookers to retreat in astonishment.

Kiana!

Emilia cried out urgently, but due to the intense duel between the two super-strong swordsmen, she was forced to retreat repeatedly before she could even make a move to help, as if she herself was in grave danger.

Kiana held the sword with both hands, pushed forward with force, temporarily forcing Reinhard back, and then swung the Flame King Sword to slash at him.

"boom!"

A sword slashed at Reinhard's chest, producing a loud crash. However, the impact only tore Reinhard's clothes but did not harm him. Instead, it pushed his body away.

"Such strong defense! What method did you use?"

Kiana frowned as she spoke.

"Cough!!" Reinhardt's lips curled into a sinister smile. "But I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

As he spoke, Reinhard raised his sword, but before he could swing it, Kiana had already rushed to his side.

"Clang!"

With a single slash, Reinhard's longsword fell to the ground, and Kiana grabbed Reinhard's arm.

"Ugh! Troublesome!"

Reinhardt's expression changed as his arm was grabbed, and he roared angrily.

"Humph!"

Seeing Reinhard's enraged expression, Kiana simply smiled contemptuously and then threw Reinhard to the ground.

"Oh!"

With a muffled thud, Reinhard crashed to the ground, his entire body sinking into the floor.

Kiana's expression relaxed slightly as she looked at Reinhard lying on the ground in a disheveled state.

However, the next second, Reinhard, whose body was half buried, raised his head as if he were a stranger:

"This time, you're probably going to be disappointed. Although you are very strong, I will definitely not lose so easily."

"is it?"

Upon hearing Reinhardt's words, Kiana sneered, "Then let me see!"

"You'd better be careful from now on, Your Excellency!"

After saying that, Reinhard stood up, preparing to attack Kiana. Seeing Reinhard's actions, Kiana was not idle either. She gripped the Flame King Sword tightly in her hand, ready to exchange a few blows with Reinhard.

Seeing Kiana draw her weapon, Reinhard's smile deepened. Without stopping, he rushed to Kiana's side, raised his sword, and thrust it at her.

Seeing Reinhard charging towards her, Kiana calmly swung her sword to meet his attack.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

A series of metallic clangs rang out, but Reinhard did not gain the upper hand; on the contrary, Kiana had the upper hand.

After the first move, Kiana quickly retreated, and swung her sword at Reinhard again.

Seeing this, Reinhard smiled.

"I never imagined you could push me to this extent; it truly astonishes me," Reinhard exclaimed.

Kiana snorted coldly upon hearing Reinhardt's words.

"You're not bad either!"

Kiana answered.

"Then try taking another sword strike from me!"

Upon hearing Kiana's words, Reinhard sneered and then swung his sword at Kiana once more.

This time, Reinhard chose close-quarters combat.

Seeing Reinhardt's actions, Kiana inwardly cried out in alarm, but it was too late for her to dodge.

With a flick of her wrist, she blocked Reinhardt's attack.

But the next moment, Kiana's expression turned extremely ugly.

She felt a tremendous force coming from her wrist, and then a huge impact exploded from her arm.

The Noble Phantasm in her hand was directly knocked away, and Kiana was also forced back several steps, looking quite unwell.

"How could this be? How is this possible? How is this brat so strong? I was almost seriously injured just now."

Reinhard cursed inwardly as he watched Kiana's actions.

Although he knew Kiana was strong, he didn't expect her to be this powerful. Even when he used all his strength, he couldn't hurt her.

Seeing Reinhard's shocked expression, Kiana sneered, "My strength isn't much weaker than yours, so you don't need to feel any pressure!"

Upon hearing Kiana's words, Reinhard frowned.

"I'm not one to give up so easily!"

After saying that, Reinhard charged towards Kiana.

At this moment, Reinhard no longer held his previous contempt for Kiana; he was about to take her seriously.

"Bang! Bang!"

The two weapons clashed in the air, producing a crisp sound. Then, two figures moved rapidly through the air, attacking each other one after the other.

This is their second collision.

However, this time, Reinhardt's attack was noticeably more ferocious.

If Miracles Have Color (re0): Chapter Sixty-Four: The Duke at His Dead End

His sword slashed relentlessly at Kiana, each strike powerful and heavy, seemingly capable of cleaving through the air.

Seeing Reinhard's attack, Kiana didn't hesitate and charged towards him as well, constantly wielding the Flame King Sword in her hand.

In an instant, the two were entangled in a fierce battle, which made the onlookers' hearts pound.

"Huff! Huff! Huff..."

During the fight, the surrounding walls collapsed, and dust filled the air.

Seeing this scene, everyone's surprise deepened.

At this moment, they finally understood why so many experts were unwilling to provoke Reinhard. His strength alone was enough to make any expert retreat.

Seeing this, Reinhard was also somewhat surprised. He knew that his strength was not bad, but he did not expect that he would still be no match for Kiana. Now that she could fight him for so long, although it was not too unexpected, it was still an unexpected surprise.

"Hmph! I refuse to believe you'll never get tired!"

Reinhard sneered, and then his longsword burst into flames as he thrust it toward Kiana. Kiana immediately raised her Flame King Sword as a shield to block the attack.

Before Reinhard, countless sword shadows flashed, constantly striking Kiana's shield with crisp sounds.

At this moment, the two of them were attacking each other as if they were playing a game, and it looked extremely easy.

Before anyone knew it, the two had already fought their way from inside the house to outside. Their figures continued to flash, growing faster and faster, making it impossible for anyone to keep up. Seeing this, everyone's hearts tightened with tension.

Suddenly, the two people stopped and stood still.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The two men were panting heavily, their foreheads covered in fine beads of sweat.

"I concede, you win."

After a long pause, Reinhard spoke first, his face looking extremely uncomfortable.

His body was covered in wounds, and his hand holding the sword trembled so badly that it seemed he might drop it at any moment.

"Hehe! I won!"

Upon hearing Reinhard admit defeat, Kiana's lips curled into a slight smile, appearing quite smug.

"You're really amazing!"

Seeing the scene before him, Reinhard couldn't help but sigh in admiration; he knew he had lost.

"That's natural!"

Kiana answered proudly, without any modesty.

"Hehe! Well..."

After saying this, Reinhard slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes to rest: "As the loser of the duel, I am at your disposal."

Upon hearing this, Kiana was stunned. She really hadn't expected Reinhard to say such a thing, which surprised her greatly.

She hadn't expected Reinhard to have such a personality—decisive, straightforward, and easy to get along with. He was also very polite and easy to get along with.

"hehe!"

Kiana raised her sword, then lowered it.

They had no intention of exterminating them completely.

She knew Reinhard must be in a lot of pain right now, after all, he was seriously injured and his wounds were quite shocking.

The fact that he could persist for so long shows that this knight truly has a strong will.

So, he probably doesn't know the reason behind it, right?

"what?"

After hearing Kiana explain the situation, Reinhard opened his eyes, his face filled with shock: "He's actually in cahoots with the Witch Cult?"

"Yes."

Emilia, who had rushed over after hearing the news, was panting heavily as she solemnly assured the knight who had meant well but had made a mistake.

With the candidate's assurance, Reinhard had no more doubts about what Kiana had said.

Severely wounded, he slowly rose to his feet and picked up the sword from the ground.

"Although I am still very weak, I feel that I bear an unavoidable responsibility for this matter. Therefore, please wait here. I will go and arrest them!"
