The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

As he spoke, the man stretched out his large hand, seemingly preparing to make a move.

And the person he reached out to was Lancelot, who appeared to be the youngest person present.

Having not yet become familiar with this body, she was so angry at this sight that her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she was just short of slashing him with her sword.

However, he held back at the last moment, prioritizing the overall situation.

"Keep your hands to yourself, or I'll cut them off."

"Hmph, you're barely out of your teens, yet you talk so arrogantly. I'll see if you really have the ability!"

As they spoke, one of them lunged at Kiana, while the other looked eager to join in.

"Hmph, you fool who doesn't know what's good for you, I'll teach you a lesson today."

Kiana sneered and then drew her Flame King Sword.

The moment she drew her sword, a wave of heat spread out, as if the entire space had been engulfed in flames.

"you..."

The burly man clearly hadn't expected Kiana to be this strong.

Although the guy was burly, he was somewhat afraid of the seemingly magical power, so he stopped in his tracks and stared at Kiana in astonishment.

Kiana remained calm, simply moving her body lightly and then sweeping her sword across.

A powerful gust of sword wind blew towards the burly man, sending him flying into the air.

However, the burly man did not fall after landing. He stood still, glaring angrily at Kiana.

"You...you dare to hit me so hard! Where did this woman come from? You wait, I'm going to call for help!"

"Want to call for help? That depends on whether the sword in my hand will allow it!"

"you..."

Feeling slighted by Kiana, the burly man's face immediately turned ugly, and he raised his battle axe.

But before he could even swing his sword, a tremendous force struck him, and he was sent flying again.

But this time he

Instead of falling to the ground, it flew directly into the air, and after the attack, it actually stopped steadily in mid-air before falling down again.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

"Who exactly are you?"

The burly man was shocked to see that Kiana possessed such terrifying strength, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"snort!"

Kiana gave a soft snort and continued to use her sword wind to deal with him.

Although he was strong, he wasn't very fast. In Kiana's hands, he fled in a sorry state, almost like a stray dog.

At that moment, Kiana also noticed that someone was spying on them.

As a result, Kiana's attacks became even more rapid.

Her swordplay grew increasingly fierce, each move carrying a chilling killing intent.

The big man was accidentally slashed several times.

"Aaaaaah, I'm not reconciled! I refuse to accept this!"

He was unconvinced because Kiana's moves were too fierce, leaving him nowhere to hide. Even when he tried to dodge, his skin would be cut by the sword wind.

"What are you all standing there for? Charge!"

Seeing that he was outmatched, the Viking pirate remembered that he wasn't fighting alone.

Upon seeing this, the other two immediately rushed over with axes.

Unfortunately, just as they were about to intervene in the battle, they were blocked by a smaller voice.

"If you want to get involved, you'll have to get past me first."

Lancelot, sword in hand, stood between the Viking pirates, blocking their path from disturbing Kiana.

Because of her intervention, the battle ended very quickly.

The three Viking pirates were all knocked unconscious, dragged aside, and tied up.

"Speak! Where is your leader or lord?"

Kiana crouched down and questioned the three bound Viking pirates.

Although he didn't quite understand why Vikings would be mixed up with these refugees, this guy couldn't possibly be here for tourism, since such a thing could happen so easily.

They must have some evil purpose...

"Hmph, you think you can beat the lord just because you beat him? How naive. Just wait and see. Before long, the boss will find out I'm missing and come to rescue us. Then he'll take care of you all and drive these pigs to destroy that town."

The Vikings shamelessly revealed their entire plan.

It's basically a wolf-eat-tiger strategy, which can only be described as ruthless, yet quite practical.

Perhaps they promised these starving civilians that they would be given enough food once the city was captured?

However, these guys are absolutely, positively incapable of keeping their promises.

Kiana was certain that to prevent this from happening, the decapitation plan had to be completed as soon as possible.

Find that lord and deal with him...

"Ha, don't worry about us. Just tell me where your leader is!"

"you..."

After hearing Kiana's words, the three Viking pirates looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone thought the girl in front of them was incredibly audacious, that a human dared to confront their leader head-on.

However, she seems to possess some magic, so perhaps she isn't entirely without a fighting chance.

"Sure, I don't know where this female warrior came from, but I can tell you the answer, but you have to promise to release us afterwards."

"no problem."

Kiana nodded and agreed to the pirates' request.

After both sides agreed, Kiana tied them up as requested.

The three then began to lead the way.

Before long, Kiana and Lancelot arrived at a makeshift wooden hut.

There were many firewood and other things placed outside, suggesting that this was originally a log cabin used by lumberjacks for rest, but it had been converted into a temporary resting place due to the arrival of the Viking pirates.

"The lord is inside. You two stay outside. We'll go in and call him out in a bit."

Three Viking pirates volunteered and seemed quite cooperative.

Seeing this, Kiana nodded.

"Well, let's go."

The three then went inside.

Shortly after they entered the house, Lancelot astutely warned the Enterprise, "I think I see them gathering. We've fallen into a trap! Let's get out of here!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door of the cabin was slammed open.

"So it was you two who came to assassinate me, huh?"

As the cabin door opened, a burly man who almost reached the ceiling appeared before the two.

This man was burly, holding a double-edged battle axe in each hand, and his muscles were a testament to his immense power.

Kiana's pupils contracted slightly as she looked at the man who had suddenly appeared.

"You are the lord?"

"What? You've heard of me? Haha, this is my territory!? You think you can use my people to attack me? Dream on!"

The man laughed loudly, then waved his large axe and shouted, "Arrest him!"

Immediately, his subordinates rushed out.

"Little girl, let's see how you run now!"

The Viking pirate roared.

With that, he swung his great axe, ready to chop down at Kiana.

Seeing this scene, Kiana snorted coldly.

"You think I'm afraid of you?!"

With that, Kiana raised the Flame King Sword in her hand.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew as Kiana severed the man's hands with her sword.

"ah!!!"

The man screamed in agony.

The threat I just mentioned has finally come true.

"I think you're really asking for it!"

The lord roared and swung his double-edged battle axe down at Kiana.

Kiana, however, remained indifferent, raising the Flame King Sword as she charged forward.

The two weapons clashed in mid-air, sparks flying everywhere.

Kiana's sword strikes were even more ferocious than before, while the man's double-edged battle axe became somewhat clumsy, as if it couldn't withstand the opponent's attack at all.

"Not bad, she's even stronger than those Valkyries from my hometown! Take this!"

The man was enraged. While dealing with Kiana, he swung his double-bladed battle axe with great force, bringing it down towards Kiana.

"Bang!!"
