The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"What did she discover? Could there be danger?"

With these doubts in mind, Shirou chose to approach her.

Although he was very tired, he was still able to approach silently with his skills.

"Ilya? Are you alright?"

Shirou, sword in hand, surveyed his surroundings and asked Illya with concern, "Who is fighting Kiana?"

"Eh?! Shirou-nii-san, how come you..."

Although his expression was serious, even somewhat fierce, Ilya felt no fear.

On the contrary, Shirou's image in her mind became more heroic and more towering.

His identity gave her a strange sense of security.

"Don't be afraid."

Looking into Illya's eyes, Shirou continued, "I've been searching for you and Miyu ever since I got separated from you, and now I've finally found you."

"Is that so...?"

There was worry in Ilya's eyes.

Although Kiana gained the upper hand in the battle between that strange woman and Kiana, knocking her to the ground, the woman's strength was also formidable.

And don't forget, you're on someone else's turf right now.

Even Kiana wouldn't have an absolute guarantee of victory under such circumstances of playing away from home...

Therefore, I was filled with worry for her.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine."

After briefly understanding the situation, Shirou replied, "Tell me first, how is their battle going? And what exactly is this person you're talking about?"

"I'm not quite sure, my memory is a bit hazy."

"Ilya said."

"Based on ambiguity..." Shirou wondered.

Ilya touched her head, looking quite helpless.

“Alright,” Shirou shook his head, then turned his gaze to Sirin beside him, “Can you take good care of her?”

"It's my duty. What? You're planning to help? If you do, you'd better be careful. That woman fighting Kiana is no pushover."

"I see."

Finally, under the watchful eyes of Sirin and Illya, Shirou looked resolutely towards the entrance of the corridor, and then stepped inside without a moment's hesitation...

"I hope he's alright..."

Sirin and Ilya prayed silently.

......

"call!"

"It's been a long time since I've had a truly satisfying battle," Kiana said, wiping the black blood from the corner of her mouth in the corridor. "I didn't expect you to be so tenacious..."

This is the corridor of the mansion. Due to the existence of space magic, she can fight Matou Sakura without any restraint.

After all, even if someone is thrown out of a window, they can be thrown back in an instant through the other window.

Not to mention that after a sword cuts through a wall, the wall, which should have fallen apart, will instantly recombine.

Even so, Kiana still suffered a lot of skin damage.

Kiana's injuries did not diminish her fighting spirit; on the contrary, they intensified her will to fight, and her attack power grew stronger and stronger.

Her moves were exactly like those of a mad samurai.

Sakura Matou simply blocked with her hands and did not launch an attack.

Their battles, seemingly chaotic, were actually fraught with hidden danger.

At this point, they had not yet lost their minds.

Therefore, they will not do anything out of line.

"I've seen your moves. Give up. If you keep fighting like this, you won't be able to hold on."

Kiana looked at Matou Sakura and said.

Hearing her words, Matou Sakura simply tilted her head slowly.

A moment later, she suddenly reached out and stabbed Kiana in the throat.

Kiana dodged continuously and stepped on Matou Sakura's shoulder with her foot.

"You think you can beat me like that? You're a long way off."

Kiana sneered as she looked at Matou Sakura.

Hehehe!

"Ok?"

Kiana raised an eyebrow.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Matou Sakura's hand suddenly grabbed her neck.

"Tsk, troublesome!"

Kiana exclaimed in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, she felt a sharp pain in her neck, as if something was choking her.

The next moment, Matou Sakura suddenly swung her other hand, and sharp beams of light shot out from her palm, aiming for Kiana's neck.

Kiana felt a sense of fear upon seeing the light emanating from Matou Sakura's arm.

She tried to struggle, but it was too late.

The next moment, the light in Matou Sakura's hand pierced towards her neck.

Kiana's eyes narrowed.

But the expected pain did not occur; instead, a tremendous force pushed her away.

"call..."

Kiana stood firmly on the ground.

"Can I come and finish her off?"

Kiana looked up at Matou Sakura.

A figure stood before her.

This person is Shirou, the one who just pushed Kiana away.

"She...is my junior, and if I could, I wouldn't want anyone to hurt her again."

Shirou smiled as he looked at Kiana.

"Whatever, where is Ilya?"

"downstairs."

"Then just remember not to die."

After Kiana finished speaking, she slowly walked away with her sword in hand.

Shirou didn't speak, but instead stretched out his hand, and the sword in his hand drew a crescent-shaped trajectory as it slashed towards Matou Sakura.

"Whoosh..."

The sword light flashed like a rainbow, slashing towards Matou Sakura with tremendous power.

This sword strike was incredibly fast, giving Matou Sakura almost no time to react before the twin swords were already beside her.

"senior?"

Just as she was about to be cut down, Matou Sakura suddenly shouted and then swiftly shifted her body to the side, dodging Shirou's sword.

"call out..."

A whooshing sound came from the air.

The sword flashed through the air, heading straight for Shirou's chest.

Seeing this, he quickly raised his sword to parry.

Ding-dong...

A pleasant metallic clanging sound rang out.

A thin crack appeared on his sword.

"What incredible strength!"

Shirou was shocked.

Just now, his sword was almost broken in two by that attack. If he hadn't blocked it in time, he would have been hit.

"Is this the power you obtained from them, Sakura?"

Upon seeing this, Shirou's face turned serious.

When confronted with his questioning, Sakura did not answer, but just chuckled.

It seems that for her, what Shirou says is unimportant; what matters most is keeping him here forever.

"Senior, it's time to go! I'll pack you up piece by piece and keep you with me. This time, I definitely won't let you escape~"

As Kiana left, the battle echoing down the corridor grew even louder.

Unlike their previous battles, these two seemed to primarily use melee weapons, resulting in mostly crisp, resounding clangs.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Kiana anymore.
