The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Kiana glanced disdainfully at the knight and continued:

"You are just an ordinary knight."

"Then let's experience it for ourselves and see if it's really that ordinary or not!"

After speaking, the Crimson Knight clenched his fists and swung them down into the void, creating a loud bang.

Immediately afterwards, a golden beam of light shot into the sky, transforming into a giant golden spear in mid-air, which shot straight toward Kiana.

The knight's companions and the bishop who was in charge of the arrest were clearly caught off guard by the guy's sudden attack and stood frozen in place, unable to say anything to stop him.

At that moment, the enemy's attack was already close in.

Lia closed her eyes in terror, feeling that neither she nor Kiana could escape.

"I'm sorry, Sword Saint. I'll make it up to you by serving you like a slave in my next life..."

She silently recited in her heart...

However, after a few moments, nothing happened.

"What's this!"

The gasps of surprise from the crowd caused Leah to open her eyes in a daze, only to discover...

A jet-black, fluid longsword, resembling black metal, hovered in mid-air, clashing with the golden spear hurled by the Red-Armored Knight...

"I didn't want to make things difficult for you, but you've been pressing me relentlessly. There's no need for further words now!"

Kiana stood with her sword in hand, her eyes wide open, exuding a murderous aura.

"Someone actually dared to block the attack of the Papal Knights!"

This phenomenon left many viewers feeling incredulous.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"You...you actually..."

Upon seeing this, the knight was also taken aback.

"Hmph, it seems I overestimated you? I thought you were prepared for a decisive battle, but now it seems..."

As Kiana spoke, her figure swayed.

"You're nothing but a barking coward!"

The next second, the Flame King Sword in her hand had already pierced the knight's chest.

"Ugh!"

The knight let out a miserable scream, his eyes wide with disbelief. He never imagined that he would be so easily defeated, without even a chance to fight back, and killed with a single sword strike!

Kiana, having landed a successful blow, turned slightly and drew the Flame King Sword.

Seeing this, the archbishop of the Vatican quickly shouted:

"Grab her quickly! We can't let this woman get away!"

"Yes!"

The knights responded in unison, then looked at Kiana.

"No! We can't let her get away, we have to catch her!!"

They cried out in terror and rushed toward Kiana, grabbing their weapons.

"Do you... want to follow in his footsteps?"

Kiana shouted and then sped forward.

She was incredibly fast, her movements were like a ghost, and she not only took down several knights in the blink of an eye, but she was also able to move left and right within the enemy's encirclement.

Seeing this, the knights gritted their teeth and continued to launch attacks.

It was only then that she realized these guys were actually no weaker than ordinary humans!

"Troublesome!"

Kiana cursed under her breath. She knew that these knights were well-trained elite troops, and she would never have wanted to provoke them under normal circumstances. But now there was no way out but to fight them head-on.

"Hahaha, trying to leave?"

Do you think the Vatican is a pushover?

Upon seeing this, the red-robed knight couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.

"Then let's give it a try and see who comes out on top!"

Kiana's killing intent surged, and a boundless aura of slaughter erupted, instantly enveloping the entire church building.

The Papal knights were all stunned, not expecting this little girl to possess such formidable strength.

"what happened?"

"She...she could she be a vampire?"

"Absolutely! Otherwise, how could a human possibly possess such power!"

The knights stopped in their tracks, staring at Kiana in horror, a wave of fear washing over them.

"Hahaha, how ridiculous! You actually think I'm some kind of vampire? You really underestimate me!"

Upon seeing this, Kiana couldn't help but throw her head back and burst into laughter.

Hearing her laughter, the knights of the Papacy were immediately enraged and roared:

"Damn it! Don't think you're so great. Today, I'll show you the power of the Holy See Knights!"

After saying that, all the Papal Knights drew their weapons, holding lances and longswords, and rushed towards Kiana.

"Haha, come on! I want to see how much you're made of, and whether you can hurt me."

Kiana showed no fear, gripping the Blazing King Sword and charging forward to engage in fierce combat with the knights of the Holy See.

"Damn it, what's going on? How could someone possess extraordinary power? Could she be a legendary magician or sorcerer?"

"No, she's clearly an ordinary person, yet she possesses extraordinary power. That's impossible! There must be something strange about her!"

...

The knights were in a panic, shouting loudly as they fled towards the outside of the inn.

They didn't want to cause trouble, after all, the power of the demon race was extraordinary. If they angered this sword saint who might be colluding with the demon race, they might not even know how they died.

Seeing the fleeing knights, Kiana couldn't help but sneer. With a flick of her wrist, her longsword drew a graceful arc, severing the throat of one knight. Then, with another thrust, the sword pierced through the neck of another knight with a soft thud, spraying blood that splattered all over the faces of the surrounding knights.

Upon seeing this, the knights were terrified, collapsing to the ground and trembling.

"You bunch of cowards!"

Seeing this, Kiana couldn't help but shake her head.

"No...don't kill us! Please, don't kill us! We are acting under orders from the Holy See and have no intention of opposing you! Please spare us! We promise to obey your orders and serve you from now on!"

Among the group, one knight was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud.

The knight quickly begged for mercy, fearing that Kiana might kill them in a fit of anger.

"Heh, begging for mercy now? Fine, I may not be one of your people, but I'm not a member of the demon race either. You'd better pray you don't anger me, or the consequences will be unimaginable, understand?"

Kiana snorted coldly and said in a chilling tone.

"I know, I know, you are the mortal enemy of our Holy See, how could we dare to offend you? Don't you agree?"

The knight hurriedly spoke, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Kiana.

This guy seems genuinely terrified; he's talking incoherently...

Seeing this, Kiana nodded in satisfaction and said, "You're smart to know what's good for you. Since you've admitted your mistake, I'll let you live. You can get lost. I don't want to see you again!"

"thanks, thanks!"

Upon hearing Kiana's words, the knights felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They scattered in all directions like rabbits, fearing that they would lose their lives if they were even a step too late.

This scene drew applause and cheers from the onlookers, both adventurers and commoners who had long suffered oppression from the Church.

"Hahaha! I never expected that the Holy See would have such fools, actually afraid of a human girl. I've heard that those knights are all brave and fearless, people who are ready to die for their cause!"

"Hahaha...that's not necessarily true. Weren't you just being very arrogant? Why are you acting so cowardly now?"

...

The bystanders began to mock the knight, which made him so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Bastard!"

"You're asking for it!"

The knight flew into a rage and brandished his longsword, slashing at the onlookers.

However, before the longsword could fall, a burst of flame erupted from Kiana's palm.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the knight's longsword was instantly incinerated and turned to ashes.

"what..."

A piercing scream rang out as the knight clutched his bleeding hand, trembling in pain.

Kiana sheathed the Flame King Sword, glanced indifferently at the group of knights, and then turned back.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Papal knights were all stunned and completely at a loss.

At this moment, they finally experienced the fear that the Papal Knights felt before they were killed!

"hateful!"

The knight roared hysterically, his whole body trembling, his face contorted with rage, and his eyes blazing with intense hatred and fury.

He couldn't understand why such terrifying humans existed in the human world!

This level of strength is something they can never achieve.

Kiana frowned slightly upon seeing the knight's reaction.

"Those who are brave but lack backbone are nothing but a bunch of reckless fools."
