The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Qianjie turned his head, his tone revealing his usual ruthless and murderous aura.

Ordinary people might fear the Herrscher, but as one of the Fire Chasers, he can be said to be completely unafraid of the Herrscher.

Even for him, Herrschers are excellent prey.

It is also the best subject to experience the thrill of a life-or-death hunt.

Now, a Herrscher is standing stupidly in front of me, provoking me?

Ha! That's really interesting.

Qian Jie clenched his fist, the cracking of his knuckles fully demonstrating just how strong his fighting spirit was.

Black Talisman was aware of this as well.

Given her current strength, it would be extremely difficult for her to defeat Qian Jie, who is a fusion warrior.

Unfortunately, Hei Fu was unaware that he was no match for Qian Jie.

On the contrary, she felt that she might give it a try and see if she could beat the man.

"A fusion warrior, heh, if only I could defeat him..."

Black Talisman began to daydream.

This childlike behavior is practically unique to her.

Unfortunately, this crazy idea remained just a thought.

After all, Kiana and Mei know how to keep the kids in line and prevent them from causing trouble.

Kiana stroked her chin and casually pointed to the monster horde in the distance: "Qianjie, there seems to be some movement over there, do you want to go check it out?"

"Ok?"

"It feels like something's happening in Aponia."

"I'm going right now!"

After diverting Qianjie's attention, Kiana turned her gaze to the black rune.

Her bright blue eyes were filled with the care of an older sister.

Hei Fu clearly believed that she was no less tall or beautiful than her, but for some reason she felt inferior to her.

"What?" Hei Fu pouted and muttered somewhat dejectedly.

"It's nothing, I just thought you might...could go and take a look at Gretchen's paintings?"

Upon hearing this request, Hei Fu instinctively wanted to resist: "Huh? Why do I have to help her look at the painting?"

She felt she had nothing to say to this young girl.

After all, there is a generation gap between adults and children.

Besides, he wasn't familiar with that unknown girl.

Now you want me to help judge paintings? What's so interesting about paintings anyway?

"Are you just trying to brush me off?"

Hei Fu thought to himself.

It has to be said that her sixth sense was absolutely right.

Kiana really just wanted to get rid of her so she wouldn't have to go against Qianjie anymore.

After all, they had finally managed to recruit such a hot-tempered guy into their team, and if another large-scale conflict broke out, it would be like their own backyard was on fire.

Kiana and Mei didn't want this to happen, so they tried to get the two of them away like this.

Of course, Kiana wouldn't say what's on her mind directly.

Faced with Hei Fu's distrust, she simply smiled and said, "Because I think Gretchen will like you as her older sister."

Although, in terms of age, Gretchen is not much younger than most of the Herrschers present.

But isn't everything based on appearance?

At first glance, she looks like a little girl.

"Sister? Haha, I like that title."

Although Black Symbol didn't have a good impression of Gretsch.

However, she had a great fondness for the title of "older sister".

So, although Kiana's order came somewhat suddenly, she also

Without much thought, I agreed.

After getting rid of the black talisman, Kiana felt much more relaxed.

"This guy can be quite stubborn at times, but he's also easy to talk to."

She thought to herself as she watched the other person walk away.

Kiana then turned her gaze to Mei and the others.

"Finally, it's resolved. Now let's continue our operation, starting our exploration from the town's borders."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

While Kiana had her companions disperse to search for the target, Mebius and Eden, hidden in the shadows, began to discuss something.

The topic of discussion was Qianjie's defection and job-hopping.

"It seems that Qianjie has been persuaded by them?"

Eden stroked his smooth chin, disbelief flickering in his beautiful eyes.

She never imagined that Qianjie, who always talked about killing and fighting, would choose to betray her so easily.

To collude with a group of Lawyers...

Dr. Mebius was equally astonished by this.

"A mere experimental sample..."

Whether it's Qian Jie or Kiana, it doesn't matter.

In Dr. Möbius's eyes, it was at best a relatively advanced experimental subject.

It's just that it's more difficult to capture and there are more things to consider.

However, the test subjects now seem to have learned to stick together...

This is undoubtedly a major piece of news.

At least Möbius knew that a united people are far stronger than a lone one.

Moreover, most of these people are Herrschers, and some even have Fusion Warriors joining them.

On the other hand, our side...

I'm fine with myself. Gold, I'll barely contribute. Aponia... seems like I can be ruled out.

Mebius glanced sideways at the nun who was praying and suddenly felt bored.

This guy seems to have resigned himself to his fate, feeling that no matter how hard he tries, he can't escape the shackles of cause and effect.

"But if everything is already predetermined, what's the point of us?"

Mebius internally refuted this.

After a moment of contemplation, she spoke to Eden: "Eden, are you ready?"

"Anytime is fine."

Eden swirled his wine glass, appearing relaxed and seemingly unaware of any impending crisis.

But at least he's someone who gets things done.

"Very good. Next, I will send my little helpers into action, and all you need to do is assist them."

"It seems like a daunting task."

"No, you only need to test me. If you die easily, I'll still be very sad. Hehehe..."

Mebius smiled sinisterly, making it impossible to tell whether she was genuinely sincere or simply joking.

In short, as the power of the Devouring Serpent was unleashed, bizarre monsters emerged from the dark green tide...

In the dark town, Kiana and Mei patrolled one after the other.

This place isn't too far from our temporary base, but there are quite a few enemies roaming around, ranging from Honkai Beasts to assassins and mechs.

Not only did they possess almost everything, the two even discovered enemies with imaginary attributes during their gradual sweep.

This shows that the level of the monsters in the town really does increase gradually as you go deeper.

"I wonder what kind of enemies we'll encounter next."

Kiana sheathed the King's Sword, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and spoke slowly to Mei.

"Phew, I don't know either. Hopefully, no more strange enemies will appear next."

"Let's hope so. If it really happens, there's nothing we can do about it, since this place is very close to the camp. We must make sure that there won't be any enemy attacks while we rest."

Kiana clapped her hands and said crisply.

To achieve this goal, it is essential to maintain a situation with zero monsters and zero enemies in the surrounding area.

Otherwise, you might be attacked by monsters before you even close your eyes to sleep, or while you're eating.

I may not be able to defeat you, but I can annoy you to death.

Kiana didn't want this blunder to happen, so she decided to keep going.

Strive to wipe out all enemies in the vicinity!

"Let's go, Mei, it'll be over soon."
