The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

The next moment, he was already in front of Kiana.

Then, he suddenly stretched out his arms and grabbed at the other person's chest.

Kiana quickly retreated, but could not escape Julian's attack.

However, at that moment, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept in.

"Boom!"

Julian felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a figure suddenly flew to his side and crashed heavily to the ground.

"what!!"

He screamed and collapsed to the ground.

"What's going on here!?"

Julian was extremely puzzled.

He clearly intended to grab the other person, but instead, he was involuntarily sent flying backward.

And on his chest, there was a bloody wound.

It was a fist mark, a punch that pierced through his chest.

"Pfft!!"

Julian coughed up a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest and feeling excruciating pain.

What... what exactly is going on?

"Julian. It's time for you to pay the price!"

Emiya Shirou released his grip, and the two swords, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, appeared in his hands.

It seemed he was about to kill his former friend at any moment...

"I...I lost." Julian's face was very pale.

"Lost?"

Upon hearing his words, Shirou Emiya's gaze sharpened slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Logically speaking, the difference in their abilities is not significant.

Julian shouldn't have lost to him, but now...

His face was filled with resentment, and a hint of shame that he was unwilling to admit.

"You really lost."

Emiya Shirou sheathed Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, and said, word by word, "Your strength is far greater than I imagined, and your fighting skills are beyond my expectations. But unfortunately, your fighting style is too different from what I have learned. You will never be able to defeat me, and our battle will never be able to determine a winner."

"No, I don't believe it!"

Julian said with a look of dissatisfaction.

"I don't care whether you believe it or not, you brought this all on yourself. If you had admitted earlier that you couldn't beat me, you wouldn't be in this situation now."

"What?"

Julian suddenly changed his dejected expression: "You think I'll lose? Ridiculous."

After saying that, he suddenly exploded!

As the black smoke spread, those who were choked by the sudden smoke realized with shock that the person they had fought several rounds with was not human.

It's just a puppet created by special abilities.

As for where the true origin of this being lies, no one knows.

"I didn't expect this..."

Kiana coughed twice, then turned her gaze to Shirou Emiya: "Did you two know each other before?"

Emiya Shirou gently shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the dark smoke, as if he could see through the thick smoke to the person behind it, and to see into that person's inner thoughts.

"Then...then I'm relieved."

Seeing this, Kiana breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know the relationship between Shirou Emiya and this smoke man, she also knew that it was Shirou Emiya's secret, something that shouldn't be known to Kiana.

Shirou Emiya finally turned his gaze away from the smoke and then to his younger sister, Miyu: "I have won."

"elder brother..."

Looking at the person in front of her who had finally kept his promise and rescued her, Miyu couldn't help but burst into tears.

The two embraced and wept, while Illya, Kiana, and the others watched them, unable to suppress a satisfied smile...

...

After the battle, it's time to rest, regroup, and organize our thoughts.

Julian's departure was so sudden that Kiana felt as if there was some kind of conspiracy.

Why did that gloomy, bespectacled man slip away so quickly?

If he didn't want to fight, why couldn't he just run away from the start?

With this question in mind, Kiana asked Sirin, who was beside her, a question while visiting Shirou Emiya's mansion:

"Why did that guy get away? If that thing was his puppet, how many puppets did he have? Is he still alive?"

"He's really dead."

"This...how is this possible?"

Kiana exclaimed.

“That’s right, he’s dead. This doll was created by his family.”

Sirin looked at Kiana and explained.

"What...what exactly is going on?"

"I don't really understand this either. All I know is that he created this doll using the power he obtained from Miyu."

"...What exactly is going on?"

"Hehe, who knows? Anyway, for a small family like theirs..." Sirin said with a smile, "they have just too many of these sneaky little tricks."

“That…that makes sense,” Kiana said, seemingly enlightened.

"Alright, let's not discuss this now. You've fought a great battle, so now you should rest with them."

Sirin patted Kiana on the shoulder and said.

"Um..."

Kiana nodded.

However, how could it be so easy to simply say you don't care?

After all, the other party's true form has not yet been brought to justice, so how could I possibly enjoy myself in peace?

Therefore, when they gathered for dinner that evening, Kiana greeted Illya and Miyu and then looked at Shirou Emiya.

"That puppet named Julian seems to be very strong?"

“It is indeed quite good, but... this is not an ordinary doll, or rather, this doll is not named Julian. He is made of some special material, and the person who created him is Julian,” Shirou Emiya explained.

"So you mean creating a doll based on yourself? That's an interesting technique..."

Kiana was taken aback.

"Yes, the puppets created using these bizarre technologies possess extremely powerful regenerative abilities and high combat adaptability. They not only have strong bodies but also extremely sophisticated combat skills. They can unleash tremendous destructive power in an instant by relying on their bodies, or rather, the power of the cards they represent."

"Oh? That's amazing? Then it seems almost no different from a human."

Kiana raised an eyebrow slightly: "How exactly were they created, or rather, how were they created? It couldn't have been by taking living people..."

After all, they didn't know what had become of that woman named Matou Sakura.

But what is certain is that this family, in addition to controlling technologies such as space displacement and card manufacturing, also possesses other advanced technologies.

They also mastered the technology of making dolls.

These puppets seem to be very similar to real people, and their strength even appears to be able to be enhanced to some extent.

This is truly astonishing...

“I’m not entirely sure about that, but I’m certain they are not ordinary life forms.” Shirou Emiya’s expression also turned serious.

"What I can see is only the surface, but the cards they use are cards we can't understand. The cards they use are like living, breathing people, and the combat techniques they employ seem to be completely outside our skill range. This is very puzzling to me..."

"Then let's wait until later, when we have time, to study that card properly."

Emiya Shirou frowned slightly.

"Then good luck!"

Kiana nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Are you and your sister planning to continue living in this world from now on?"

Although it's painful to say, it's undeniable that this world seems to have reached its end...

Kiana's words instantly created an awkward atmosphere.

Everyone turned to look at her and Shirou, their eyes filled with confusion and unease.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to know your plans. If you decide to leave, I will offer you the necessary assistance."

Kiana quickly replied.

Seeing her sincere attitude, Miyu's expression softened slightly, but she still didn't say anything.

“It doesn’t need to be so complicated. If my father hadn’t died, he would have supported us continuing to live in this world, but he’s gone now.”

After Shirou finished speaking, he sighed.

"Well, although I've never met your father, I think he must be a pretty strong person, right?" Upon hearing this, Kiana's expression immediately darkened.
