The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Death seemed to mean nothing to him, but in the end, he rediscovered his past self.

"What an interesting guy."

After hearing Kiana's story, Mezas couldn't help but sigh.

His reaction clearly shows that he also has some deep-seated aspirations or ideals.

Kiana didn't know what it was, but she figured that people like that were probably not afraid of death.

If he were afraid of dying, he would have surrendered long ago; why would he stand up to me?

so...

What are you after?

"Heh, similar to the friend you mentioned. I, too, am trying to bring someone back to life."

Mezas finally revealed his long-cherished wish, and before leaving, he tidied his disheveled attire. Although he was still dressed in that strange manner, it must be said that doing so did make him look much more elegant.

To bring someone back to life?

Considering his relationship with the witch's followers...

Kiana then sheathed her sword, which sparked her curiosity about him.

She wanted to know how this magician managed to resurrect people. Did he just need to find a suitable body?

"You're a mage, why don't you just go and find a suitable body? Why hire assassins to deal with me and Emilia? Do you need two bodies, perhaps?"

"Haha! You're so cute."

Mezas laughed.

"Cute? That word sounds weird coming from you. Didn't you want to kill me?"

"You're the most unique girl I've ever met, how could I bear to kill you? Believe it or not, I promise I absolutely won't kill you, because..."

Duke Mezas's words were chilling, but Kiana wasn't alarmed by them.

From the very first meeting until now, Kiana felt that this person couldn't be a normal person.

"Hmph! Whether you're sincere or not, I'm going to suspect you're a liar."

"You can choose to doubt me, or you can choose to believe me. But I hope we won't become enemies because of these things."

Kiana: "...Huh?"

"Yes. I can tell you that I have no ill intentions, I just hope you can believe me."

I don't believe you for a second! You weirdo, you just spout nonsense.

The gap was so wide that Kiana didn't even know what to say.

If someone hires someone to kill them, how can that be considered without malice?

Being able to say these words in a serious manner is quite a skill.

However, after saying all that...

I don't think he's just a simple madman.

At least he's a madman who can have a conversation?

Kiana pondered for a moment, then said:

“I believe you have no ill intentions, and I have never doubted you.”

"Well, in that case, please put your eyes down. I promise I won't do anything to you."

"Your promises cannot be trusted."

Kiana refused without hesitation.

"Hahaha...you're quite a coward. Okay, okay. I promise I won't do anything to you, you can put down your weapon."

Mezas reiterated, but Kiana shook her head again: "I didn't expect you to be so confident in saying that. If it's a joke, it's not funny. If it's true, I can only say you've overestimated me."

"Really? Heh..."

After smiling, Mezas chose to surrender.

...

Kiana took Mezas away.

Kiana immediately returned to her room.

Her door was not closed, and she didn't have the habit of locking it.

"Phew~ Luckily, this place is far from the restaurant, so it wasn't affected."

Kiana sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, her expression quite solemn.

Mezas's attitude and words made Kiana very uneasy.

Because she had encountered such a strange person, the Duke of Mezas's personality was so bizarre that it sent chills down her spine.

Moreover, he's an oddball, and his existence makes Kiana vaguely feel that he's a bit of a handful.

Although she wasn't afraid, the trouble was giving her a headache.

"It seems I need to get Emilia elected as soon as possible. Only in this way can this matter be resolved completely."

Kiana thought to herself.

Mezas's words further solidified Kiana's resolve.

"Otherwise, things might get complicated. But... what should we do?"

Kiana scratched her head in frustration, unsure of how to achieve her goal.

I can't possibly eliminate all the top-ranked competitors, can I?

Although I could improve my ranking by one place with my strong fighting ability, it would be too troublesome and even a waste of time.

"Oh well, whatever. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If they really dare to make a move, then let's give them a try."

Kiana sighed and then lay down to rest.

At this moment, Emilia returned from outside. Seeing Kiana's worried expression, she knew that Kiana must have encountered some difficulties.

Emilia walked quietly to Kiana and sat down beside her, gently patting Kiana's shoulder and comforting her:

"It's okay, I'm here. No one will bully you, don't worry."

"kindness!"

Kiana responded softly.

Emilia looked at her with a smile.

"By the way, Emilia, do you know who Mezas is trying to resurrect this time?"

Kiana suddenly asked, wanting to know if Emilia knew about this.

"Whom will you resurrect? You..."

Emilia was taken aback for a moment, and then she heard Kiana report the situation.

After a brief exchange, she touched her smooth chin thoughtfully.

"He...was just like those believers?"

"what?"

"Kiana, you've dealt with so many witch cultists, have you ever tried to understand why they're so crazy?"

If Miracles Have Color (re0): Chapter 68 It seems I have no choice but to move.

Jealous Witch

A forbidden being, known to the world as "the one who devours the world, the queen of the city of shadows, and the most terrible calamity."

She is the Witch of Envy, Satella—who devoured the six witches who were once branded with the sins of the sages—the Witch of Greed, the Witch of Wrath, the Witch of Sloth, the Witch of Gluttony, the Witch of Pride, and the Witch of Lust, consuming half the world. She was later sealed in a crystal by the three heroes—the First Sword Saint, the Dragon, and the Great Sage.

The rumors circulating about her are: "It is said that she longs for love. It is said that she does not understand human language. It is said that..."

She was jealous of everything in the world. It is said that no one who has seen her face has ever survived.

It is said that her body will never decay, age, or die. It is said that even being sealed by the power of dragons, heroes, and sages cannot destroy her. It is said that she is a silver-haired half-demon.

A silver-haired half-elf?

After hearing Emilia's story, Kiana suddenly realized that her features were very similar to those of the witch described.

Could she be the silver-haired half-demon she was talking about?

But how could she possibly be the silver-haired half-demon she was talking about?

If she really is a half-demon, then why do I have the appearance and intelligence of a normal human in reality, and can even walk like a human?

Kiana didn't know how to explain this, so she passed the question on to Emilia.

Emilia's answer surprised Kiana.

She said, "You guessed right, I am a silver-haired half-demon."

Kiana was filled with astonishment upon hearing this. She wanted to ask Emilia what was going on, but she didn't dare to ask directly.

She wanted to ask Emilia why she resembled the Witch of Envy that people talked about, but she could only keep these questions to herself.

Kiana didn't want to ask Emilia directly, but she wanted to get more information about the world from her.

But Emilia seemed to already know what she was going to ask and told her directly, "Don't be too afraid, I... am not her. Although they all think I am her, I really am not. It's strange, isn't it? It's such a simple thing, but no one wants to believe it. Even Mezas..."

Kiana fell silent again upon hearing this: "It is indeed strange..."

Emilia nodded: "Yes, but everything in this world is just too complicated. Whether it's humans, monsters, gods, or those unknown forces, they are all beings we cannot understand. Even some powerful mages dare not touch them easily. That's why they think we are the same kind of life, and that's why they regard me as the Witch of Envy."

Kiana nodded in agreement.

She remembered the legendary magician, the legendary "world-devourer, queen of the Shadow City, the most terrible calamity," the legendary greedy witch, and the legendary wrathful witch...

Although she didn't know these witches at all, she was mistaken for one of them.

Even after all that, she remained passionate.
