The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"

Kiana, who had just gone through a battle, shook herself and gasped for breath.

Seeing her expression like this, Mei couldn't help but step forward and ask with concern:

"What's wrong, Kiana?"

"I'm fine, Mei. It's just that I feel... like we're in trouble?"

"Huh?"

Mei was a little confused.

"I just have a feeling, I don't know if you have the same feeling."

Kiana shook her head with a wry smile.

"Uh...so, what should we do?"

Mei was also a little flustered.

Although she didn't know what had happened, she could guess the seriousness of the situation from Kiana's behavior. If what Kiana said was true, then they were probably in danger now.

"No matter what, let's leave here first and meet up with Bronya and the others."

Kiana remained silent for a moment, then suddenly made a decision.

"Well, that's the only way."

Mei nodded as well.

They couldn't care less about anything else right now; they just hoped that this time they could be safe and not encounter any more danger.

"Let's go, Mei."

Kiana ran outside as she spoke, and Mei quickly followed. The two ran all the way until they reached an alley, where they finally stopped.

"You're back?"

Meanwhile, Bronya had been on high alert with his gun drawn for some time.

Accompanying her were Alicia and Belialus, who had taken human form.

Perhaps because of the support of two ranged combatants, their team managed to complete their mission well ahead of schedule and arrive here to meet up.

"Yes, I'm back."

Kiana stretched her limbs and then told everyone how she felt during the battle.

Everyone else was a little confused when they heard what she said.

Bronya stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then asked in return, "So, a powerful enemy is approaching us?"

To be honest, Kiana, the person involved, found her over-interpretation somewhat unacceptable: "Eh? Is that so? I... I just feel like some kind of danger is approaching."

"Tsk..." Bronya pouted, making a face. "Idiot Kiana, what's the difference between what you said and what I said?"

Who are you talking about?

The two glared at each other, then silently looked away.

Seeing that they seemed to be having a fight, Alicia couldn't stand it anymore.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

Mei chimed in, "Yes. We still know too little about this world. If we can't maintain relative unity and stability, the danger Kiana mentioned might indeed occur."

With two people acting as a lubricant, Kiana stopped worrying about Bronya's matter.

Of course, Bronya didn't continue complaining.

The two exchanged a glance.

Kiana then stated, "My intuition is very accurate. I can guarantee that if we continue towards our goal, we will definitely encounter enemies."

Bronya agreed, "Indeed, it seems like a foregone conclusion."

After a brief exchange of ideas, everyone nodded in agreement.

Then, they left the alley and continued on their way.

Not long after the results were announced, a burst of maniacal laughter, "Hahahaha!", came from the street nearby.

Then came the sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground with a 'bang bang bang!'

The sound was so loud that it stood out in the noisy town.

Kiana and the others naturally couldn't ignore the voice, so after some discussion, Kiana and Mei set off.

Let's find out what happened.

The two hopped across the rooftops as they talked.

Mei asked first, "Kiana, is this the danger you sensed?"

"It shouldn't be, right?"

When Mei asked her question, Kiana simply smiled and did not rush to conclusions.

"Why not again? You..."

Mei shook her head, feeling helpless towards her close friend.

The two exchanged a smile, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.

until...

A Herrscher dressed as a celestial being from some divine land brushed past the two on a skateboard.

They suddenly realized that they were there to investigate something unusual.

And that anomaly... it seems it just flew by?!

Mei covered her forehead in response: "Kiana, what was that that just flew by? A bird?"

"No way, it should be a black kite?"

Kiana stopped and complained.

The two stared at each other for a while.

Mei then asked with some concern, "If we leave it unattended, it shouldn't affect us, right?"

Kiana agreed: "Yeah, I think so. Let's go back, there's nothing to see here."

Both sides nodded, preparing to head back and say a few perfunctory words to Bronya and the others, and that would be the end of this strange incident.

But who would have thought...

Just as they turned their heads, the guy who had flown away on that strange weapon skateboard flew back.

She looked exactly like Squad Leader Fu Hua, except that her eyes were a manic, bloodshot red.

An aura of domineering power and tyranny emerged from this.

It seemed that nothing could be arrogant or domineering in her presence, only...

She seems to be able to act so arrogantly on her own.

She is the Herald of Knowledge, the pure black immortal Fu Hua.

"Hey, I was having so much fun flying that I completely forgot."

Hei Fu looked at the two of them with a smile, as if he were looking at friends he hadn't seen for many years.

However, Kiana and Mei both sensed a kind of unbridled ruthlessness emanating from this Herrscher, a willingness to kill at will.

It's not hard to imagine that the commotion just now must have been related to her, right?

"What? Are you two staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Seeing that Kiana and Mei were both silent, Black Talisman jumped off the skateboard and silently drew his sword.

Seeing her make such a gesture, Kiana said, "Herrscher of Knowledge, we're old friends."

"Oh, I see."

Black Talisman nodded in sudden realization, then brandished his sword and slashed at Kiana.

Her behavior was quite unusual, but it was in line with her usual style.

Kiana also raised her sword to meet the challenge.

The two exceptionally strong girls began attacking each other back and forth, creating a truly terrifying scene.

"How did Kiana get to know someone like that?"

Mei said in surprise as she dodged Kiana's attacks.

"I'm not sure either, but we just got to know each other."

Although it's unclear why Hei Fu is here, she doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with.

However, this did ignite Kiana's fighting spirit.

By this time, they were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

However, they also discovered that this black talisman was extremely fast and adept at surprise attacks, leaving them helpless for a time.

Just as the two were locked in combat, Hei Fu rushed in front of them and used his sword to block their attacks.

"Hahaha~ You guys are so weak?"

Hei Fu looked at the two of them smugly.

Their attitude was quite arrogant and domineering.

"Hmph, don't underestimate people!"

With that, Kiana raised her sword and thrust it toward the black rune.

However, the black talisman easily dodged the attack.

Immediately, the black rune dodged again with its uncanny footwork and reappeared behind Kiana.

"This trick again?"

Kiana learned her lesson this time.
