The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Zhu Cai squinted at Kiana, then looked at her cautiously.

Instead of immediately continuing her magical attack, she carefully considered what kind of ability this enemy possessed.

"What exactly are you?!"

Shuna stared at Kiana and asked in a cold tone.

You don't need to know!

Kiana gave Shuna a cold look.

Then, she slowly reached out her hand.

Then he suddenly pushed his palm forward.

A huge fireball rose out of thin air and headed straight for Shuna's face.

"boom!"

The fireball hurtled straight towards Zhu Cai at incredible speed, leaving a deep trench in its wake.

Zhu Cai's pupils contracted slightly.

A strong sense of crisis rose in her heart, a feeling that made her very uncomfortable.

"This level of magic is no match for me."

She shouted, flames erupting from her body, and then she maximized the effect of the magic circle.

Her magical elements surged violently in an instant, and under the influence of this surging magical energy, the top of the entire magic wand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling blue light.

"Water Magic - Water Dragon Roar!!!"

A roar came from Zhu Cai's mouth.

The next second, a thick jet of water gathered on Zhu Cai's magic wand.

The enormous column of water roared as it hurtled straight toward Kiana.

"It makes a lot of noise, but its power is negligible. It's just a circus act!"

As the water dragon roared toward her, Kiana's lips curled into a disdainful smile.

The next second, she forcefully raised the King's Sword and cleaved the water dragon in two, then turned and grabbed Zhu Cai by the neck.

"Uh..."

After a fierce battle, the demon girl was ultimately defeated.

The outcome is decided.

Kiana's eyes held nothing but sharpness, devoid of any tenderness or pity.

She had given the girl a chance to back down, but the girl resolutely admitted that she had attacked her with a murderous intent.

If that's the case, then what else needs to be explained?

“Those who kill will also be killed. You probably never thought about this when you were slaughtering humans, did you?”

"Stop...nagging!" Zhu Cai gritted her teeth, determined not to beg for mercy.

Seeing this, Kiana raised her sword with her left hand, ready to end the battle.

However, the next second...

"Hey, woman over there."

The sudden, bold male voice brought Kiana back to her senses, and she looked down.

Then, in the next second, something happened that surprised her greatly.

Solia was seen gathered together with the villagers and even the human knights.

The demon warriors, who had been so easily defeated just moments before, had somehow regained their freedom and surrounded them, using them as hostages.

Several strong demon warriors surrounded a resolute demon.

It was he who had just called out to himself.

"You are..."

"I am Benimaru, the next leader of the demons."

Red Pill looked up and replied, "How about we make a deal?"

"What deal?"

Kiana, having roughly guessed what the demon wanted to say, relaxed her grip, allowing Shuna to breathe normally.

"How about we trade them for my sister?"

After a moment of silence, Hongwan played her trump card.

What's it like to be human in a world where a slime is the Demon Lord? : Happy Dragon Boat Festival

I need to take a day off. My tooth hurts today, so I'll rest. (100 characters)

What's it like to be human in a world where the Demon Lord is a slime? Chapter Seven: The Demon Lord's Invitation? Not interested, unless you make him come in person.

Use them to exchange for your sister...

Kiana hesitated somewhat about the proposal.

She wasn't sure if the demons were trustworthy, and they had only promised to exchange hostages, without offering any answers regarding what would happen after the exchange.

Simply put, a promise alone cannot guarantee that fighting will not break out again.

After all, the demon race and the human race are inherently irreconcilable enemies.

If you can swallow it whole, why wait until another day?

"I don't trust you."

In the end, Kiana said those words coldly.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Ghost Clan immediately gritted their teeth, as if they were about to grow wings and fly up at any moment.

However, they cannot grow wings, even if they can fly up using special methods.

Kiana was confident she could wipe them out like swatting mosquitoes.

"What are you all doing?!"

Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene had become tense again, Benimaru, the leader of the demons present, sternly reprimanded his subordinates.

Under his oppressive aura, the demons all became obedient.

Although these demons still wore fierce expressions, at least they no longer dared to express their dissatisfaction through their actions.

"Oh."

After successfully controlling his subordinates, Benimaru snorted coldly, then raised his head and turned his gaze to Kiana, who was still flying in the sky.

"Don't believe me? Hmph, just as I don't believe you."

"If you can't even manage basic trust, then what are you even talking about?"

Kiana looked coldly at the demon leader, her imposing aura making her seem like a god.

It was as if she were about to unleash divine punishment to annihilate all the daring demons and monsters that dared to invade.

Under such oppressive pressure, the demons who had been able to put on a fierce appearance shrank back, looking timid and fearful.

Only the young master of the demon clan, Benimaru, could barely maintain a semblance of dignity.

"What a terrible guy! Damn it..."

At this moment, Benimaru, like his sister, realized that the lackeys in front of the Demon King hadn't been talking nonsense.

This enemy...

They are truly qualified to compete with calamity-level monsters in strength.

"Luckily, I have someone on my side to blackmail me, otherwise..."

Although Benimaru himself despised this kind of thing, there was nothing he could do about it.

My sister is in their hands. If I don't find a way to get her back, there's no guarantee they won't just kill her and then take advantage of the situation to escape.

In that case, the future of the Oni clan can be said to have been completely cut off in the hands of this samurai general!

Because the matter was of such great importance, even Benimaru had to be cautious.

"Ha, how could I not know that? But we at least have important people in the other side's hands, don't we?"

After finishing speaking, Benimaru slowly drew his sword and pointed the blade at Soria.

The incredibly sharp samurai blade was almost pressed against that fair and smooth neck.

Although she was only born a short time ago, the arrogance of a Demon Lord-level demon seed made this half-human, half-spider girl bare her fangs.

Upon seeing this, Kiana's expression grew even more fierce.

"I suppose that even though you are a formidable fighter, you can't save someone from a fatal decapitation wound, can you?"

Benimaru held up a sword in one hand, and slowly raised the other hand, looking up and shouting loudly in a deliberately calm tone.

Clearly, he was threatening himself.

Kiana knew very well that although she could heal her severed head wound with top-quality emergency medicine obtained through the system, she would lose a huge amount of Herrscher Points as a result.

It's really unnecessary to make such a big fuss over a conflict that could have been resolved peacefully.

But just giving in like that doesn't feel quite right.

Kiana thought for a moment, then looked down at the leader of the demon race.

"We can exchange hostages, but you must release them first."

"...That's really domineering."

Upon hearing that they were to release their people first, Benimaru instinctively formed an idea.

but...
