The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

So Kiana became extremely happy after discovering that defeating these guys would earn her more paint rewards.

Unfortunately, as happy as I am...

There are only so many enemies in total; once they're all defeated, there won't be any more.

Moreover, why were a few left behind after the battle?

Kiana looked at the few remaining soldiers who stood there, hesitant to disperse or flee, and wondered to herself, "Could there be another trick up their sleeve?"

It seemed to be to confirm Kiana's guess.

As the monsters created by Mebius retreated, someone who was quite familiar to both her and Mei slowly walked out.

"I didn't expect that by the time I arrived, it was already over."

She wore a brown dress, and her bright eyes and serene smile made her look quite approachable.

Her beautiful voice is captivating, as if one were listening to an exquisitely beautiful song.

She is yet another member of the Heroes of Fire Chaser...

“Eden…”

Mei slowly revealed the person's identity.

Eden can be considered one of the first heroes she encountered upon entering Paradise.

Its unique characteristic of not being short of money and not knowing what money is remains unforgettable.

This is the unique style of the [Gold] inscription she possesses.

Even though it had been a while since they last met, Mei still felt the memories were still fresh.

And now, in this clearly unusual world, I'm actually able to see her again...

Mei couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the unpredictability of life.

Eden was naturally aware of her thoughts.

"It's a real shame that we couldn't smile and chat after being apart for so long."

Eden casually waved his hand, summoning his wine cup and harp, and looked at Kiana and Mei with considerable elegance.

It was as if she were visiting the two of them not as an enemy, but as an old friend.

Seeing this, Mei hesitated for a moment, then raised her katana and pointed it at her:

"I'm curious, Eden. Are you my enemy?"

With this question, the atmosphere between the two sides became oppressive and tense.

Kiana silently drew her sword and followed Mei's lead, making the same gesture.

Although she didn't have any particular opinion about Eden, she was there as an enemy.

Therefore, we must prepare for the worst.

"This was not my intention."

Eden had come here to test the two of them on Möbius's advice.

Therefore, she was prepared for conflict even before they made contact.

Now that Kiana and Mei have shown hostility, it actually makes her feel a little better.

Because this way, she could slowly draw her gun:

Would you like to dance?

This statement, seemingly an invitation, is actually a declaration of war.

Kiana understood her meaning and immediately charged forward with her sword:

"bring it on!"

[Ding! Host has encountered a formidable foe—Eden, the Hero of Fire Chaser, and is now in battle!]

With a notification from the system, Eden and Kiana were pulled into the duel arena.

Eden seemed to be seeing this field for the first time, and for a moment he did not make any defensive moves. Instead, he looked around as if he were admiring a work of art.

The houses are arranged in a pleasing, orderly fashion, and the streets are quiet and peaceful.

Although the fence prevented her from going up to take a closer look, she was unable to do so.

But that's enough.

After a moment, she exclaimed, "This place is really beautiful."

Kiana found this statement utterly unbelievable: "Really?"

Well, this place isn't exactly beautiful, but it's not so bad either.

At best, it's just a battleground that's been set up.

Although there were no spectators, it is certain that both sides were involved in the battle.

It's just myself...

Kiana thought to herself, then raised her sword and said, "Eden, come on."

"I would be delighted to dance with you."

Faced with the tense situation, Eden remained calm and fearless.

She calmly used her dual pistols to deal with Kiana Mei.

Compared to her identity as an elegant and charming singer, her identity as a hero is equally outstanding.

Although they did not enter a state of artificial collapse, they still fought back and forth with Kiana using their superb combat skills.

Her offensive was very soft, yet it carried a strong sense of intimidation.

She is not like Qian Jie

Instead of wildly using her advantages, she controlled the rhythm step by step, preventing Kiana and Mei from finding any weaknesses in her.

Such a battle is not only a test of the combat capabilities of both sides, but also a strategic contest.

"Eden's elegance seems to have no flaws."

During a lull in the battle, Mei couldn't help but sigh.

In her view, Eden had not revealed any flaws and was handling the situation with complete ease.

She also found it hard to guess how she managed to find the enemy's weaknesses and attack them without knowing any specific information about them.

"Ah."

Kiana nodded in agreement with Mei's assessment, also believing that Eden had not revealed any flaws.

"Never mind, we can't let her keep roaming around like this. We must end this battle quickly."

After Mei finished speaking, she launched another fierce attack on Eden.

While I wouldn't claim to be 100% accurate, I can handle most common moves.

However, this time Eden did not dodge Mei's attack, but instead met it head-on.

"Bang..."

With a loud bang, Mei and Eden were both sent flying.

"Mei?!"

Kiana gasped in surprise as Mei was sent flying backward by the attack.

However, the next second, Mei quickly steadied herself and slashed at Eden with her sword.

"You lost."

After Eden regained his footing, he smiled and said to Mei, who was flying backward.

"Lose? No! Ridiculous."

After Mei finished speaking, she continued her attack on Eden.

At this moment, Kiana also joined in.

She can't let Eden win.

The clashes between the two sides became increasingly fierce, even to the point of trading blows for injuries.

But Eden's offensive remained unchanged.

Although Mei fought back and attacked from behind, Eden always managed to dodge her attacks at the most critical moments.

Moreover, her moves are becoming increasingly fierce.

This troubled Mei a lot.

Although Eden's moves remained unchanged, her attacks became increasingly sharp.

Even Mei gradually began to feel tired.

"You are very strong, Mei."

Eden, his breathing somewhat disordered, looked at Mei lying on the ground.

"the same as you."

Mei took a few deep breaths, then said, "But this farce is over, isn't it?"

"what?"

Before Eden could finish speaking, Kiana swung her sword sharply, pressing the blade against Eden's delicate throat.

"Because it was you and Mei fighting before, I didn't go all out. But now..."

Kiana, considering the relationship between the two parties, deliberately kept a backup plan.

This can be seen as laying the necessary groundwork for a more relaxed situation.

She felt that Eden was just going through the motions this time, rather than coming with the intention of definitely killing her.

Although it ultimately led to a fight, all she had to do was concede.

After all, Qian Jie went through the same thing.
