The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Kiana told her the truth.

"That's strange. I thought people like you, who live a life of hardship and exposure to the elements, wouldn't mind these things at all."

Ariel muttered something to herself, but didn't dwell on the matter further.

You see, at this moment, she still finds Kiana more interesting than these trivial matters.

"White hair, very similar to her. Heh, could this so-called human sword saint also be a member of our race?"

Ariel secretly glanced at Kiana's face and hair, and the more she looked, the more she felt that this girl...

So lovely.

However, the gaze of the progenitor spider is not something an ordinary person can withstand.

Even Kiana felt a burning sensation of being spied on when she was being watched.

It felt as if the adorable demon king in front of him was about to reveal his true form at any moment, transforming into a gigantic black spider that would devour him alive.

It was sucked dry...

"What's wrong? Peeping at others isn't a good habit."

Out of self-defense, Kiana put the barbecue back and then took two steps back to distance herself from Ariel.

Although humans and demons are at the bottom of the combat power in this world, don't forget that even among the weakest races, there are still strong individuals.

Moreover, Spider-Zi had previously revealed that the true form of the demon king before them was actually the progenitor spider.

That is, a magical beast, which is said to be a pet of the goddess, equivalent to an ultimate existence at the level of a divine beast.

Such a spider is something that should be treated with caution, no matter what.

"Peeking? How rude of me, I was only looking at you..."

Ariel touched her hair, then gave a wicked smile: "Just a little interest."

interest?

Kiana, upon hearing this, remained silent for a moment, then retorted without hesitation:

"Could it be an loss of appetite?"

"Oh, don't say that. I'm not like that little vampire. Of course, if you'd like, I wouldn't mind tasting your deliciousness."

Ariel winked playfully, looking both lively and dangerous.

This gave Kiana a momentary illusion.

"If the class monitor saw this girl, would he immediately blurt out, 'Spider demon, how dare you be so insolent!'"

Of course, rationally speaking, the class monitor has little chance of actually coming here.

But it's not a big problem.

"I'm increasingly finding your world somewhat incomprehensible."

Kiana covered her forehead and gathered her thoughts before saying, "Alright, enough with the pleasantries."

I'm here only to tell you that this whole affair started because of Paphinas, and has nothing to do with humans.

"Huh?" Ariel asked in surprise, "What is it? You mean Sophia was attacked? Oh well, it's just a trivial matter."

After saying that, she waved her hand, as if she didn't care at all about her subordinates being attacked.

Kiana was puzzled upon hearing this.

I came all this way just to clarify the facts, but you didn't take it to heart at all?

Isn't this a bit too ambitious?

Before Kiana could even ask, Ariel explained:

"Humans provoke us every now and then, it's nothing new. In fact, I'd be surprised if they didn't. But Sophia's people might have some ideas. Don't worry, I'll make them behave."

It's clear that this demon king... although he looks carefree and like a callow youth.

But actually, he still holds quite a lot of authority within the demon race, doesn't he?

"If that's the case, then that's for the best."

Kiana nodded, then a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Thank you, farewell!"

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Kiana narrowed her eyes, suddenly having a bad feeling.

"Don't look at me like that. Actually, there's something else I need to ask you."

Is there something I need to ask of you?

How could a Demon King have to ask a traveler from another world for help?

What could possibly be so valuable?

"what's up?"

"hehe..."

Ariel licked her lips, then stared intently at Kiana: "I've heard you're quite skilled, and it's rare to meet you today. Let me see if you're really as good as the rumors say."

Kiana sensed something was wrong as soon as she heard this.

A moment later, when she saw the fighting spirit in Ariel's eyes, she realized that she... couldn't leave again.

"Yay! The Demon King is going to get justice for me? That's awesome! Go, go, defeat her!"

Beside him, the vampire, whose face was still covered in dirt, raised his hand in encouragement.

Clearly, she's now hoping to get a lesson from him.

"You guys are really..."

Kiana remained silent for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"It's hard to know what to say. Come on, Demon King! I'd also like to see what makes you so capable of becoming the Lord of the Demon Clan!"

Actually, Kiana has always had a question since she came into this world.

That's why, even though the general combat strength of this world seems so weak, my own strength hasn't diminished at all; on the contrary, it seems to be subtly increasing.

Or perhaps something similar to an ancient civilization exists in this world.

Or perhaps, there is a reclusive, supremely powerful individual living in seclusion in this world.

Now is the perfect time to find the answers to these questions.

Demon King, let me see if you are the root cause of making this world so different all by yourself.

...

The battle was to take place in the towering mountains not far from the barbecue grill.

Although the location remains unchanged, it adds many possibilities to the battle, especially given the geographical location.

Therefore, even if the battle rages on and on, as long as the planet is not destroyed, there is absolutely no need to worry about any future troubles.

Of course, the most important point is confidentiality.

Only Kiana and Ariel signed up for the entire battle; as for the audience...

She's just a vampire, and the key point is that she's only there to cheer Ariel on, so the audience can almost ignore her.

Therefore, it doesn't matter who wins or loses.

"It's been so long since I've stretched my muscles! Ah! I feel so energetic!"

Ariel clenched her fists, looking just like a little girl trying out a new toy...

Unfortunately, what she played with next wasn't a toy.

Rather, he is a traveler who journeys through countless worlds.

"Phew, I'm also very excited. I hope we can all gain something from this battle."

Kiana plunged the Flame King Sword into the ground and then began enhancing the weapon using the Herrscher Points she had recently acquired.

[Enhancement Option 1: Lightning Attribute Infusion. Consuming 10000 Herrscher Points allows you to infuse the Conqueror Gem with lightning attribute while wielding your sword using the Plague Gem, increasing its destructive power.]

[Enhancement Option Two: Increased fire attribute control. Consuming 10000 Herrscher Points can further unlock the restrictions of the Plague Gem, greatly increasing the power and control of fire, thereby increasing destructive force.]

[Enhancement Option 3: Sword Shadow, consumes 10000 Herrscher Points for Mystic Attribute Enhancement. When swinging the sword, an Ink-Stained Crimson Sword is generated to assist in attacks. The damage dealt by Sword Shadow is still fire-based, and multiple attacks will increase the elemental damage received by the target.]

Before and after system recovery, the proposed enhancement solutions are quite formulaic and practical.

Although the system was simple and convenient, Kiana felt that something was missing.

"The first two weapon enhancements revolve around gems. As for the last one, is it geared towards the Divine Land?"

Ink-stained sword...

Could it be a sword shadow in ink wash style?

After a brief moment of thought, Kiana chose the last enhancement option.

"Ready? Sword Saint, if you're not going to attack, then I'm coming for you!"

Ariel, growing impatient, waved her hand and shouted, seemingly eager to charge straight over from the opposite hilltop.

"bring it on."

Kiana drew the King's Sword, then swung it fiercely. The originally crimson blade was imbued with an ink-like color as she swung it...

Clearly, this is the effect of weapon enhancement.

"So..."

Ariel bowed slightly...

Then, with a deafening boom, the ground she stood on crumbled apart, and she herself leaped out in a split second.

Like a cannonball, it flew towards Kiana...

"The Demon King is so powerful!"

Seeing this, the vampire watching from afar was instantly excited, his eyes sparkling with excitement, thinking that Kiana was finally going to suffer a setback.

However, the next second...
