The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

These mercenaries are all like that; relying on their considerable strength, they swagger around here.

Therefore, these people all wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate this brat and teach her a lesson!

“My father was never a coward!”

Artoria frowned, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

The fact that these mercenaries could anger her, a knight who was always dutiful, proved that they were truly asking for a beating.

Although Artoria has never met her biological father since birth.

But she had learned some information about her father from Merlin.

She believed Merlin's words that her father was a brave and wise ruler.

And now, these people dare to insult him?

Her eyes were filled with anger.

Seeing that look in her eyes, Kiana realized that this battle might be unavoidable.

"Alright, stop wasting time talking to him, just kill him!"

"Yes, kill him. Let him know we're not to be trifled with!"

In the blink of an eye, after so much verbal provocation, the mercenaries finally decided to have a real fight.

They all drew their long swords from their waists.

As they drew their swords, they also prepared to charge into battle.

These guys are really planning to fight Kiana to the death.

"kill!"

The moment they shouted those words, dozens of black beams of light suddenly burst forth from the surrounding air.

These beams of light fell like a meteor shower, hurtling straight towards the mercenaries.

Just as the mercenaries drew their swords to prepare for battle, the black lights suddenly vanished as if they had never existed, leaving them completely defenseless!

"what!"

"Damn it!"

"Help!"

The mercenaries panicked.

They didn't understand how these attacks came about so suddenly, and the speed of the attacks was so fast that they didn't give them any time to think.

Although their reaction speed was good, they had not received professional training, so they seemed somewhat helpless in this situation.

"what!"

"Pfft!"

"what!"

......

Screams, cries of pain, shouts, screams, and sounds of agony rose and fell.

After being struck by these black lights, they were all sent flying backwards, crashing heavily to the ground without even the strength to struggle.

Only the mercenary leader managed to stand up, but a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

This scene shocked the other mercenary groups around them.

They couldn't help but stop in their tracks.

They knew they had met a master!

Moreover, this expert is very strong.

Their gazes all turned to Kiana, and a deep sense of apprehension was evident in their eyes.

Just how powerful is this girl?

She may not look very old, but in reality, she is already a terrifyingly powerful person.

Who exactly is this girl?

They didn't know Kiana's true identity, but they did know that Kiana had an extraordinary background and that her parents must be some very powerful figure!

"I don't care who you are, I'm just telling you, you've angered me this time, and this is the price you have to pay!"

Kiana said slowly.

"Hmph, you think you can take me on?"

The mercenary leader wore a sneer; they didn't believe that they, with their numerical advantage, would lose to this girl.

How will you know if you don't try?

Kiana snorted coldly.

A ball of crimson fire condensed in her palm.

With a soft "bang," the ball of light struck a mercenary in the chest.

"what!"

The mercenary staggered back several steps and was instantly reduced to ashes in the scorching heat...

"This...this is magic?! Damn it, we've all been fooled!"

One of the mercenaries shouted.

However, they had no way to stop Kiana's actions.

Because, the moment the ball of light collided with the mercenary's body, another burst of light was emitted.

This time, the mercenary still couldn't escape the fate of being reduced to ashes!

"Ah, no! No!"

"Help! Please help me! Please save me! Don't let me die here!"

"I have a wife, I have children, I can't just die like this!"

When the mercenaries saw the tragic state of their comrades, their faces were filled with terror, and they all knelt on the ground, wailing in agony.

Although there are magicians in this land, magic stones are ultimately a very small minority.

In most cases, people were still using cold weapons to knock each other's foreheads.

Kiana is now unleashing elemental magic-level power.

These mercenaries, who had traveled all over the country, could tell at a glance that she was extraordinary.

She also realized that she had no way of defeating a mage with magic.

deception

They were afraid of the strong and feared the weak, so they had almost no psychological barriers and chose to surrender.

Looking at this group of opportunistic guys, Kiana's face showed a rare hint of arrogance.

"Hmph, insignificant humans, I disdain to kill you!"

"I'm not killing you because I don't want to dirty my hands. If I wanted to, you would all be dead long ago!"

Kiana looked at the mercenaries with disgust.

Upon hearing Kiana's words, the mercenaries breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this beautiful young woman didn't really intend to kill them; otherwise, they would surely be corpses by now.

"Then, what do you want?"

The mercenary leaders asked with some trepidation.

They no longer have the arrogance they once had.

They are now terrified of Kiana, fearing that their fate will be the same as that unfortunate girl's!

"...It's not up to me to decide."

Kiana then turned her gaze to Artoria.

The knight king, still shaken by the experience of being on the battlefield for the first time, wiped the blood from his face and plunged his sword into the ground.

"Leave now, and I will forgive and forget about it!"

She said calmly.

Upon hearing her words, the mercenary leader immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"thank you!"

"Run, run fast!"

......

Upon hearing Kiana's words, the mercenaries felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly retreated.

They no longer have the courage to fight this mysterious little girl.

Seeing this, Kiana couldn't help but shake her head and smile. These guys were really too weak.

Even if they were recruited, they'd probably just run away from the battlefield.

Well, they're gone, but...

Kiana looked around at the chaotic recruitment site and realized that things had gotten out of hand.

Come with me!

Kiana waved to Artoria.

Artoria nodded and followed Kiana, running deeper into the forest.

Not long after they left, groups of people wearing armor and carrying heavy swords rode in.

They were clearly not the town's guards, but they cared more about what was happening here than the town's guards did.

Their leader is the most obvious example of this.

It was a handsome man clad in purple armor, riding a tall horse, the heavy sword in his hand reflecting a shimmering light like a lake.
