The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Although it didn't cause any real danger, it was quite a hassle to resolve.

"Phew~ I can finally see the coast! I was about to throw up..."

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief and patted Bella beside her, signaling her to stop immediately. Bella immediately stopped flying.

This journey was quite long for Kiana.

However, upon seeing the beach, Kiana's mood instantly brightened.

It seems the beach isn't that far. She and Bella should be able to find the city soon, right?

With that in mind, Kiana had Bella turn the boat around and head towards the beach.

Bella was very fast, and she flew to the beach in just ten minutes.

"what?"

About a few hundred meters from the beach, Kiana suddenly spotted a pink figure.

"What is that? Who is it?"

Kiana couldn't help but ask.

Upon seeing that beautiful figure, Kiana felt a sense of foreboding.

Who exactly is this person?

Kiana was filled with unease.

She had a head of pink hair that shimmered with a mesmerizing golden hue in the sunlight, and her fair skin was as smooth and delicate as a peeled egg.

These eyes are like pure, beautiful gemstones, without any impurities, yet they seem to hide too many secrets.

She wore a uniquely styled battle suit, her slender waist resembling a water snake. Beneath her beautiful figure, Kiana saw not just a pretty girl, but a beautiful goddess.

This was a beautiful young girl, but at this moment the girl was looking at Kiana with a wary smile, as if she was on guard against something. This was Kiana's first impression.

"Hi~ Miss Herrscher, I've been waiting for you for ages."

To Kiana's surprise, the pink-haired girl actually took the initiative to greet her.

"You know me?"

Before Kiana could finish her reply, the mysterious pink-clad girl instantly raised her ornate longbow.

"what?!"

Kiana was taken aback when her opponent suddenly revealed a weapon.

Beneath her, the enormous dragon Bella immediately became alert.

"Ouch!"

Bella roared angrily.

"Don't rush, Bella."

Kiana quickly comforted Bella, and at that moment, the thought of communicating with her arose in her heart.

She is a beautiful young woman, and a beautiful young woman who can communicate.

If we can talk to each other, let's chat first.

After all, the squad leader once said, "Courtesy first, then force."

Kiana did not feel any fear when she saw the beautiful girl's actions.

She is willing to try to communicate if possible.

"Oh? Just as Kevin said, you seem to be able to communicate."

The beautiful young woman squinted and asked.

"Kevin... are you that person's partner?"

Kiana asked softly, and then, based on Mei's previous description of her, identified the pink-haired girl: "Alicia..."

"Hmm? Wow, I didn't expect that Miss Herrscher would actually know me? Hehe~ This is really delightful."

Even after being recognized, Alicia still smiled, but her hand holding the bow showed no sign of loosening its grip.

"No, no, no, I'm not familiar with Kevin. He just mentioned you once, saying you're a very smart girl that he admires very much and that he appreciates you a lot."

Kiana quickly waved her hand, indicating that she did not know Kevin, and added that Kevin greatly admired her, which surprised Alicia slightly.

What does it mean?

"you..."

After a slight pause, Alicia immediately understood Kevin's assessment of her.

It seems Kevin has a very good impression of him, which is why he praised him so highly.

However, I do have the qualifications to do so.

"Hmm? Suddenly they've stopped talking. Looks like it's working. Honestly, why do those heroic Moths seem so afraid they want to just wipe me out?"

Kiana muttered a few complaints to herself, but didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction on her face.

"But whose intention was it for Alicia to come here? Could there be other heroes nearby?"

A huge question mark immediately arose in Kiana's mind.

However, she soon lost interest in thinking about these issues.

because...

"What a beautiful encounter, Miss Herrscher~"

Alicia interrupted Kiana's thoughts with a smile: "Your arrival is to demonstrate the power of Honkai and destroy humanity, isn't it?"

"I..."

"Here, I must tell you with great regret: as long as I am here, as long as we are here, you will absolutely not succeed!"

After saying this, Alicia immediately shot an arrow.

As the pink crystal arrow shot out, the entire beach instantly became tense, and a sense of impending doom spread.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

As three pink arrows were fired, a sharp, piercing sound filled the air, and Kiana's expression changed drastically.

She never expected that the other party would shoot arrows directly, and she never expected that these three arrows would be so powerful!

He truly deserves to be called the second Yingjie.

Hmm, I need to find a way to make Bella be careful, so she doesn't get hurt again.

Kiana quickly summoned Bella, intending for her to block the three pink arrows.

"Awooooo!"

Bella roared angrily twice and charged straight at the pink arrow, grabbing the fletching of the arrow with her claw.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Bella's claws pulverized the pink arrow into powder.

"Wow~ Bella's strength is amazing."

Upon seeing this, Kiana's eyes widened, and she looked at Bella with surprise.

"Awoo~"

Bella proudly raised her head, as if she were very satisfied with the power she had displayed.

Kiana's horror intensified upon seeing Bella's appearance, but she outwardly feigned disdain.

"Ha, it's no use! Your pet is no match for me!"

Alicia snorted coldly and drew her bowstring, firing several more arrows at Kiana.

The target of these arrows was none other than Bella!

"Ow!"

Bella roared angrily and used her dragon claws to block Alicia's arrow.

But this time, it failed to stop Alicia's attack. The arrows pierced through Bella's dragon claws and exploded inside.

This big, clumsy dragon is injured again...

Kiana covered her forehead, feeling helpless towards her.

The next second, an endless rain of arrows suddenly came.

It's clear that Miss Alicia truly wants to kill herself.

"Is it because of my identity as a Herrscher? If I don't put in the effort, it'll be hard to convince these complete strangers..."

Kiana pondered for a moment as she waved her hand.

Almost instantly, scorching flames erupted, transforming into fiery blades that swept away all the arrows.

Seeing this, Alicia frowned slightly, and her gaze toward Kiana became more serious.

Kiana's power was greater than she had imagined.

However, she was no ordinary person. The moment she saw this scene, she drew her bow again, ready to shoot another arrow.

This time, the arrow that Alicia shot was surprisingly a pink one!

It flew in as fast as a meteor, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

The arrow, its tip shimmering with pink light, hurtled forward and arrived before Kiana in the blink of an eye.

However, to Kiana's surprise, the arrow, after getting close to her, bypassed her and went straight for Bella.

"what's the situation?"

Kiana couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Could it be that the other side has some kind of strategy?

Suddenly, after a brief wait, the arrow that was shot at Bella unleashed astonishing power.

'Boom!'
