The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"Stop! You two, stop fighting!"

"What!? A Herrscher!!!"

Qianjie let out a roar, almost swearing.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Kosmo's Stubbornness

With Qianjie's roar, a scorching aura rushed towards them.

Mei frowned slightly and swung her sword to block the fiery wave released by the Thousand Calamities.

Although the two sides haven't completely broken off relations, the atmosphere is already tense, as if a life-or-death battle is about to break out at any moment.

Seeing this, Kiana, who arrived later, quickly tried to dissuade them, saying, "Senju! The matter we asked you to handle is over. Let's stop now. Let's find a way to leave together."

"Are you going to stop me too? Herrscher, don't think I'm afraid of you, huh! Since we have a rare opportunity, both of you come at me together!"

Qianjie clenched his fists, and the flames engulfing his hands and feet intensified.

It's clear that he's full of fighting spirit right now, and even though he knows it's difficult to face two Herrschers alone, he's determined to keep fighting.

Even Kiana and Mei, who had a significant advantage, found it difficult to deal with such an enemy.

Unlike other heroes, Qianjie truly enjoys the feeling of fighting and destruction.

Trying to reason with someone like him and get him to accept reason is, frankly, an impossible task.

However, for the pink figure that appeared behind the two, the matter of making Qian Jie stop was...

It's not impossible.

"A Thousand Tribulations~"

Alicia blinked and looked at her with a smile.

Her beautiful face was as stunning as ever, and her large, narrowed eyes added a touch of cuteness to her appearance.

But Qianjie didn't think so.

He felt that his pink-haired companion was hard to handle.

This feeling is quite wonderful.

Qianjie couldn't understand why he felt a little guilty.

Logically, this ridiculous emotion should have completely disappeared by now.

But she was able to sense something unusual...

Looking at the pink-haired girl before him, Qianjie finally let out a cold snort:

"Hmph. Boring."

After saying this, Qianjie flung his hand and left in anger.

Clearly, at this moment, he had no intention of continuing the fight.

To be honest, this result is quite surprising.

Kiana and Mei were both incredulous and turned their gazes toward Alicia behind them.

Neither of them expected that Qian Jie, who had been furious just moments before, would suddenly stop because of Alicia's appearance.

That's it...?

So he just gave up?

"Wow, that's great! I knew you'd understand!"

Seeing Alicia waving excitedly at Qianjie, Mei covered her forehead.

"It seems you are indeed extraordinary."

"Hmm? Hehe~ What are you saying, Mei? I'm a beautiful girl as lovely as a flower, one of a kind~"

Alicia hugged Mei's arm as she spoke, a satisfied smile on her face.

It was as if being told by Mei that being different was something to be especially happy about.

Of course, Kiana felt that this was indeed something to be happy about.

"Alright, alright, you two."

Seeing Mei being harassed, she immediately pulled Alicia away with some displeasure.

After all, such intimacy in broad daylight, under the clear sky, would be quite troubling for Mei.

After Kiana pulled her away, Alicia not only didn't feel guilty, but stared at her with a playful expression.

"Hmm~"

After letting out a laugh that was hard to decipher, she turned her gaze to yet another of the thirteen heroes.

Kosmo...

Having fought a thousand calamities for a long time, his body was now covered with burn wounds.

However, this injury would be fatal for an ordinary person, but for him, who had merged with Vishnu, it was just a minor injury.

He can easily heal himself in just a certain amount of time.

They became energetic again.

"Shout!"

Kosmo let out a roar, and then the quantum beam swept towards the crowd.

Mei's pupils dilated; she hadn't expected Kosmo to launch such a fierce attack.

"calm!"

Upon seeing this, Kiana quickly drew her sword and swung it.

The scorching flames collided violently with the quantum laser, and the shockwave caused everyone's clothes to flutter.

Clearly, Kosmo's consciousness had become chaotic due to the intensity of the battle with Qianjie.

Otherwise, after he stopped fighting after the Thousand Tribulations, he should have canceled the artificial collapse form.

But instead of canceling, he has shown an astonishing fighting spirit.

As expected, this battle was unavoidable...

Kiana and Mei exchanged a glance, then both raised their swords and aimed them at the boy who had transformed into a monster.

The two remained silent, but their silence revealed a palpable fighting spirit.

The two sides stood facing each other in a tense standoff, as if a bloody battle was about to break out.

"Kosmo, stop now."

Seeing Kosmo in such pain, Alicia felt sorry for him and tried to comfort him.

Unfortunately, Kosmo did not heed the pink-haired girl's advice.

"Roar..."

He growled and maneuvered around the crowd like a cheetah hunting for prey.

It seems to be looking for an opportunity to bite through everyone's throats in an instant...

"It seems that this battle is inevitable."

Mei muttered to herself.

"Okay, get ready, Mei."

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief, then faced the onrushing Kosmo.

The two confronted Kosmo one after the other, and the battle resumed.

For a moment, the entire island's forest was filled with blue light.

Quantum lasers are extremely powerful.

Whether it was rock fragments or flying branches, everything was ground into powder.

"Roar!"

Kosmo roared, and his speed suddenly increased.

His right claw swung towards Kiana.

Seeing this, Kiana calmly raised her longsword to block the attack.

Under the scorching heat, Kosmo pulled his hand back in pain.

"Roar!"

Kosmo roared once again.

He swung his arms, attempting to force Kiana back.

But Kiana showed no fear whatsoever when facing him, who was clearly much larger than her.

"A great opportunity!"

Without saying a word, she slashed out, aiming straight for Kosmo's face.

To avoid being split in two, Kosmo had no choice but to raise its claws in defense.

Just as he was barely managing to parry Kiana's attacks, Mei seized the opportunity and swung her katana.

"Shut up, Kosmo!"

In an instant, Mei transformed into a bolt of lightning and streaked across the sky.

When the electromagnetic light dissipated, she had already appeared behind Kosmo.

'Crackling and popping!'

A powerful electric current coursed through Kosmo's body, and its tangible lightning sparks even spread to the ground.

"cough!"

Kosmo, having suffered a heavy blow, exhaled a puff of smoke and then slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Battle over."
