The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Page 457

The only thing that's clear is that the upcoming battle will definitely not be small-scale...

The glory emanating from the Heavenly Fire Greatsword burst forth like a raging inferno, as if erupting from a volcano...

Thick smoke and scorching heat shot into the sky, instantly engulfing Sirin.

"cough!"

Caught off guard, she raised her right hand and slashed open a spatial channel to distort the attack, thus avoiding being melted directly.

Unfortunately, Kevin, with his combat experience, wouldn't give her any chance to catch her breath.

"watch out!"

Taking advantage of the opening when the Heavenly Fire Greatsword unleashed its first strike, Kevin flew out of the fiery passage like a cannonball.

He brandished his Heavenly Fire Greatsword, slashing at Sirin with scorching flames, while letting out a furious roar:

"Heavenly Fire, unsheathe!"

He no longer intended to delay any longer, because continuing this war of attrition would only make things more complicated.

Now that the decision has been made, it must be carried out immediately.

Strange forces from heaven and earth gathered around the Heavenly Fire Greatsword, forming giant fireballs that rapidly transformed.

Finally, after a deafening roar, the fireball transformed into a massive red sword thirty meters long.

At the tip of the greatsword, strands of blood-red threads were leaping about.

The sword gleamed, as if it were gathering some kind of extremely powerful energy.

"go!"

Kevin roared and slashed his greatsword at Sirin, sending up pillars of blazing fire.

"cut!!!"

Flames intertwined in the sky, creating a dazzling and spectacular fire net.

The end of the fire net was Sirin, so even with Sirin's great strength, she couldn't avoid such a fatal blow.

It looked like Celine was about to be attacked.

Suddenly, the sky changed color...

"God, are you watching me?"

Celine slowly opened her eyes, and in her gently raised palm, a gem quietly floated.

This is the 'Conquest Gem' of the modern era, a recognition and blessing that Sirin obtained through external forces.

"I'll crush you, you insect!"

The words were followed by a deafening roar of thunder.

Countless bolts of lightning clashed and struck, scorching Kevin until he was charred black and blue.

"cough!"

Kevin felt weak all over, and because he was attacked by the ultra-high voltage current, he could only fall helplessly.

Unfortunately, the side fighting did not want him to leave.

"Die, survivor of a previous civilization. Your existence is the greatest obstacle to me!"

Sirin raised her hand, and a Void Spear appeared, aimed directly at Kevin's head.

'Whoosh! '

A sharp whistle.

This deadly blow...

Ultimately, it was destroyed by a single sword strike from the raging flames.

Kevin was caught by a beautiful pink figure and quickly hidden away...

...

The reunion came so suddenly that Kiana almost forgot she had parted ways with Sirin...

Just a few days?

Yes, only a few days.

Compared to the long journey already undertaken, this amount of time is nothing.

But even in this almost overlooked period of time, she...

Earth-shaking changes have taken place.

Kiana flicked her cloak, then quietly closed her eyes, showing no intention of continuing her attack.

She was organizing her thoughts and words in preparation for a proper conversation with her friend.

Although, this may be the last time.

But that's precisely why it needs to be taken seriously.

"Hehe, Sirin... I never expected to see you in this capacity and in this state."

In the distance, the Honkai Beasts were attacking one after another.

However, having no intelligence whatsoever, they did nothing but perish in the flames of divine judgment created by the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

High above, Sirin, who had already betrayed the neutral camp and completely sided with the Honkai, remained indifferent to this.

She also kept her eyes closed, standing quietly opposite Kiana, one above the other.

"Do not."

After a long silence, Sirin slowly opened her eyes, her golden pupils revealing absolute authority and disdain:

"Your identity has never changed. You are a knight of the gods. Every sword you wield should be stained with the blood of mortals, and every inch of land you conquer should be devoid of any trace of civilization."

But you've forgotten your mission, and I! Will take your place and become the most terrifying Herrscher in this world!

"Hey, hey, hey, Sirin, no... System, getting too engrossed in role-playing games isn't good."

Kiana couldn't believe that these were the words spoken to her by the little doll who once considered herself a tool.

If nothing unexpected happens, then something definitely did happen.

Did the Honkai God of this era bewitch her?

No, logically speaking, since they are both entities that are similar to the law of cause and effect, there shouldn't be such an obvious hierarchical relationship between them!

Kiana racked her brains, when suddenly a brilliant idea struck her.

Could it be because of my own selfish desires?

"I don't want to waste any more words with you. Your actions have already made me very uncomfortable. Sirin... do you even remember what you said before?"

How can tools defy the will of a craftsman?

Kiana gripped the Blazing King Sword tightly, her mind already made up.

"Your wishful thinking and self-satisfaction only end up moving yourself. Kiana, perhaps deep down you hope she can be resurrected."

But you yourself have said that this is a denial of your past.

Xilin...

No, the Herrscher of the Void slowly raised her hand.

The dazzling gem shone brightly in her hand.

"You should have understood this as early as when you saw the vast emptiness, right?"

The biggest mistake a craftsman can make is giving tools the right to think.

Your biggest mistake was not completely cutting ties with the past.

so...

Be angry, hate.

In this world that is destined to be destroyed.

Forge your own path to salvation...

As she watched the king's sword swiftly and decisively strike her vitals, Xilin's gaze deepened.

"This is part of the plan, and perhaps the best way to hasten the end..."

As excruciating pain coursed through her body, she deliberately concealed the following words that surfaced in her subconscious...

It's normal for there to be fourteen heroes out of the thirteen, right? (Previous Civilization): Chapter Ten requires you to bring her back to your headquarters and keep her under strict surveillance?

Kiana's power was beyond Sirin's expectations.

In fact, she had already assessed Kiana's strength before the battle even began.

After all, if one is prepared to betray, then a fierce battle is inevitable.

However, after they actually fought, Sirin realized...

I was overestimating myself.

"cough!"

She suddenly waved her hand, creating countless aerial spears in an attempt to stop Kiana's offensive.

These spears are imbued with high-voltage lightning, causing extremely high damage while also possessing a paralyzing effect.

Ordinary creatures could be electrocuted if they came into contact with it.

However...

"Get out of my way!"

As Kiana unleashed her sword strike, scorching flames shot upwards into the sky like gushing lava.
