The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"Demon... Demon... I've discovered your scheme," the knight gritted his teeth and said, "Kill me... you vile creature!"

Kiana felt a pang of pity for the knight.

The knight didn't look very old, but the terrifying aura of killing intent emanating from him sent chills down Kiana's spine. She didn't want her compatriots to lose their lives because of this man.

"I... am not a demon."

Kiana sighed softly and slowly walked to the knight's side.

"Go to sleep. When you wake up, it will all be over." After saying that, Kiana kicked the knight in the stomach.

"bump!"

The knight's body slammed into the ground again, kicking up a cloud of dust, and he lost consciousness.

After dealing with this troublesome guy, Kiana winked at Soria.

The half-human, half-spider demon king's servant nodded and then rushed towards the battlefield where humans and demons were fighting.

Her size gradually increased, and her aura gradually became more majestic and imposing.

By the time they reached the center of the battlefield, Solia's size had increased several times over.

"hiss!"

Upon arriving at the battlefield, this powerful spider did not hesitate at all, immediately spitting out its web and flying towards the center of the battlefield.

The spiderwebs spread rapidly through the air, soon covering the entire battlefield.

"Swish swish swish!"

The sudden attack caught the demons off guard; they had not expected the attack to come so abruptly.

In an instant, all the demons' attacks stopped, and Solia took the opportunity to cast spider webs over the demons.

At this moment, the entire battlefield was filled with those dense and ferocious spider webs.

The spider webs continued to shrink, binding the demons like dumplings, trapping them firmly and rendering them unable to move.

"Kill...kill these despicable bastards!"

"kill!"

"I'm going to kill them! Kill those despicable bastards!"

The demons were furious and roared madly.

Of course, it wasn't just them who were angry; even the human knights suffered the same treatment.

"hateful!"

"You despicable demons, if you have the guts, release us!"

"I'm going to kill all of you bastards!!!"

In an instant, the battlefield, which had been a scene of carnage, turned into a heated verbal battle with both sides exchanging insults.

For both sides who are already prepared to fight, killing the other or being killed by the other is much better than being controlled like this.

Unfortunately, they were too weak to break free from Solia's spider silk.

Of course, thanks to the strength of her spider silk, these two groups of people who were already bloodthirsty were able to calm down.

The high-ranking members of the Ghost Clan who were overseeing the battle from the rear also calmed down.

"This spider... is the legendary calamity-level magical beast? It seems completely exaggerated. Although it does have some strength."

A cute girl dressed as a shrine maiden with two horns on her head slowly watched the farce unfolding on the battlefield.

Almost all attention was focused on the enormous spider monster.

However, the guard beside her pointed out her mistake rather bluntly: "Princess Zhu Cai, according to the report, they are humans whose combat power is comparable to that of a Calamity Beast, not a Calamity-level monster."

"...Of course I know! Do you need to remind me?"

"I apologize for speaking out of turn."

The guards lowered their heads in fear.

After reprimanding her subordinates, the demon princess realized that she might have been focusing on the wrong thing, so she began to use her abilities to explore her surroundings.

This investigation revealed an unusual life force not far away!

And the intensity of this fluctuation...

"This is definitely not an ordinary creature. This feeling... vaguely reminds me of a giant like Veldora."

Only now did Princess Zhu Cai finally realize that the demons on the front lines were not a bunch of fools who attributed their mistakes to baseless accusations.

They had truly encountered an existence whose power far exceeded ordinary people's comprehension...

"So, it seems she released these spiders?"

Shuna fell into deep thought.

The problem is, she released this spider not to kill or eat people, but simply to tie everyone up.

How incredibly bored must one be to do something so stupid...?

"Oh, I get it!"

Zhu Cai clapped her hands, instantly realizing...

"Is this a trap to lure me in?"

After thinking it over, she concluded that the spider monster was definitely a bait.

The goal is to draw myself out, and then take the opportunity to create a pincer movement from both sides.

"What a brilliant scheme! But, against my cleverness, your plan has failed!"

Then, almost without the slightest hesitation, Shuna rushed towards Kiana.

And he hoped that he could annihilate this hidden powerhouse in one fell swoop.

At that moment, Kiana was pleased that Soria had brought the situation under control.

Then a beautiful but incredibly annoying voice rang out: "Hey, you coward hiding here, why don't you get out here already? If you don't come out, I'll destroy this whole place!"

Accompanying this provocation were several enormous fireballs.

These fireballs were all enormous, three or four meters thick, and each contained astonishing power.

If these fireballs were to explode, the entire area would be reduced to ashes, and would also cause severe damage and devastation.

Forest fires are considered mild, right?

Faced with this predicament, Kiana immediately brandished the King's Sword, easily slicing through the fireball with several ink-stained sword strikes.

It was detonated in mid-air, completely intercepting it.

"You use killing moves with every move? Is this the politeness of your demon race?"

Once again being targeted, Kiana's expression instantly turned sharp.

It was as if she were about to raise her sword with both hands and utterly kill this noble witch in the next second...

What's it like to be human in a world where a slime is the Demon Lord?: Chapter Six: Hostage Exchange

The human knights generally referred to Zhu Cai and other demons as the "ghost race."

This is actually an incorrect way of calling it.

Their true name is the Oni-jin (Demon Clan), a new race born from the ordinary Oni-jin after being given a name and undergoing evolution.

Because they received the name bestowed upon them by the Demon King, their strength was no longer comparable to that of ordinary people.

That is why these demons are so powerful in combat.

Otherwise, it would be laughable for Shuna to have the strength to fight against Kiana.

But it is precisely because of this significant enhancement that Shuna has enough confidence to face the challenge.

"Heh, there's no need to be polite to the strong among humans!"

When faced with Kiana's questioning, Shuna's reaction seemed perfectly natural.

Although she had a sweet and charming face, at this moment she displayed the violence and cruelty unique to the ghost race, even though her expression didn't change much.

However, Kiana was able to perceive this through her keen senses.

"So, you're fighting with the determination to execute me?"

In response to Kiana's question, a magic circle unique to holy magic appeared beneath Shuna's feet.

Compared to ordinary demons, her magical talent is exceptionally strong.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they can unleash holy magic that demons do not specialize in.

"So what if it is?"

Shuna made no attempt to conceal her purpose; on the contrary, she frankly admitted it.

She wasn't a girl who kept things to herself.

In her view, if you dare to do something, you must bravely face your enemies.

"Since you've admitted it so frankly, I have nothing to hide. Since you want to die by my hand, I naturally won't mind sending you on your way!"

Upon hearing this, Kiana also abandoned her dismissive attitude. She rarely underestimated her enemies, so she wouldn't easily look down on the woman in front of her.

Although this woman looks like just a little girl, her combat power is definitely above average in this world.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then I don't need to stand on ceremony anymore!"

After Kiana finished speaking, she raised her hand and launched several ink-stained swords at Zhu Cai. These ink-stained flying swords attacked at extremely fast speed and carried an extreme high temperature, which made Zhu Cai feel somewhat troubled.

Zhu Cai quickly formed hand seals and instantly cast a spell to block the attacks.

However, even with the enhancement, the power difference between the two sides was too great, and she lost her balance and was directly knocked away.

"Damn, you've got some skills!"

Of course, Zhu Cai, who was sent flying backwards by the blow, was extremely shocked.

Although she had only been officially involved in the battle for a short time, her perception of power had already reached a new level due to her increased strength.
