The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

What terrible news will those young female recruits who joined the resistance with high hopes, intending to make a name for themselves on Narugami Island, be rejected by the kind adults and forced to stay on Narugami Island to protect their home?

"call..."

Kiana will not allow such a tragedy to happen, nor does she want her to... revert to being the invincible demon goddess she once was.

The Blazing King Sword was pierced into the floor of the castle tower, and the scorching flames began to melt the ground, causing the temperature of the entire castle tower to slowly rise.

A scorching aura emanated from where Kiana stood...

Kiana!

Ying, Kujo Sara, and Paimon exclaimed in unison, feeling uneasy about the sudden surge of energy from their friend.

On the contrary.

Standing tall at the head of the crowd, at the very top of the hall, Lei Yingdong wore a warlike smile...

"Have you come here to challenge me to a duel?"

“No,” Kiana slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her azure eyes shone brightly, “it was just to fulfill a promise to a friend.”

"A friend's promise?"

Shadow stared at Kiana, the smile on his face gradually fading.

She slowly drew her personal naginata, ready to wage a second great battle here at any moment.

And just as these two god-level warriors were about to engage in a fierce battle...

The main gate of the castle tower was suddenly opened from the outside.

The sound of high heels clicking on the floor followed.

A person who surprised everyone appeared at the castle tower.

"Hey, looks like I've come at just the right time?"

The woman smiled and looked at everyone present, finally fixing her gaze on Kujo Sara, Hotaru, and Paimon.

"I came to see who was harassing the General this time, but... hehe, I didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance?"

"you!"

Seeing the arrogant and defiant woman, Ying's expression suddenly turned serious...

The Song of Flames and Lightning (Genshin Impact Inazuma Main Story): Chapter 96 The Variables of the Imperial Duel

Even after so much time has passed, the lady's actions remain vivid in my memory.

This made her want to take matters into her own hands and make this arrogant woman pay the price.

However...

Ying is not someone who is swayed by emotions. She knows very well that the Executors of the Fools are not ordinary people. Moreover, the young master once said that the lady is a strategist who can weigh the pros and cons and has a long-term vision.

They've come here so boldly; they must have been well-prepared.

She's...not simple.

Ying stared at the woman, his initial passion gradually cooling, turning into extremely calm hostility.

Her eyes looked so interesting.

So much so that the woman couldn't help but let out a smug smile.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be much smarter than when we last met. Hehe, but it's a pity. If you were any smarter, you would know that you need to step down now."

As the woman spoke, she snapped her fingers.

With the burst of ice elemental power, Ying's feet were encased in frost.

"Hey! Why did this woman suddenly start fighting?" Paimon exclaimed, wanting to ask for help.

However..

"drink!"

With a flash of rock elemental light, the ice that had frozen Ying's legs was forcefully shattered.

The shattered ice, under the influence of the rock element, condensed into ice element crystals and fell to the floor with a dull "thump, thump, thump!" sound.

"Hmph, nothing special."

Looking at Ying's arrogant face, the lady's haughty smile gradually faded, turning into extreme disgust.

"...Looks like you've grown up? Heh..."

"Madam, what brings you here? With the enemy at hand, the General has no time to discuss diplomatic matters with you regarding the Eastern Kingdom!"

As Raiden General's most loyal henchman, Kujo Sara naturally began to question the lady.

The lady merely glanced at her coldly after being yelled at, before turning her gaze to the Thunder General in the main hall of the castle tower.

film...

"General, it seems you've been driven into a corner?"

"Nonsense."

"Hehe, how about this? I'll help you get rid of these uninvited guests, and you'll give me the reward I want. Isn't that reasonable?"

The woman brazenly demanded a reward and attempted to challenge even a formal opponent, one that Lian Ying needed.

This arrogance was enough to destroy her...

Kiana stared at the extremely alluring woman and suddenly felt a little strange.

"Is she really confident she can get out unscathed?"

Although it's unclear what the relationship is between the Fools and the Shadows, Kiana can tell from Kujo Sara's reaction that their relationship with the Shogunate isn't great.

In this situation, why offer help?

I'm afraid their offer of help is just talk; their real intention is to seize the Heart of God during the battle.

"However, the lady may have overestimated the big picture."

A potential enemy is already close at hand, and then suddenly the executive officer he met before offers to help. If he were not strong enough, he might have to compromise and try to negotiate with the enemy.

But Ying didn't appreciate her help at all.

"Keep your little schemes to yourself, ma'am."

"Hmph, so confident. I don't know where you, a defeated opponent, got the courage to face this woman again."

The woman muttered this sentence under her breath, and then obediently listened to Lei's words and stood quietly to the side.

However, whether she intended to simply observe the battle obediently or was considering whether she could intervene and cause trouble later remains unknown.

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is this attitude of despising the gods.

"How dare you speak to the General like that?!"

"Heh, what? A stray dog, daring to bare its claws at its master's guest?"

"You!" Having been humiliated time and again, Kujo Sara's tolerance for the lady had reached its limit. She gripped her bow tightly, the murderous intent in her eyes barely contained. "Insolent diplomatic envoy, do you dare to duel me!"

"A duel? Haha, fine. But if you lose the duel, your master will not only take your life, but also grant my wish. Understand?"

The duel before the emperor was solemn yet cruel.

It is an ancient tradition.

The two fought a desperate battle before Thor, with the victor gaining glory and rewards, while the loser would be executed by Wuxiang's single blow.

In Inazuma, the Thunder General is synonymous with the strongest, and the ultimate martial art is the Unthinkable One-Slash.

For the people of Inazuma, this was tantamount to a fatal blow.

Knowing this, Kujo Sara took the initiative to challenge her to a duel, which shows how deep her hatred for the lady was.

"Hahaha! Interesting fellow. You dare to oppose me in order to defend the dignity of God? Come on, let me see what you're capable of!"

With the woman's maniacal laughter, she then unleashed an ice spell, which began in the presence of Shadow and Kiana.

Engage in a fierce battle with Kujo Sara.

However, because the woman herself was quite strong, and Kujo Sara was acting in anger.

Therefore, even playing on home ground and with the protection of the abundant lightning element power of Inazuma Hell, Kujo Sara was unable to gain the upper hand.

On the contrary, the woman, with her quick understanding of the enemy's moves, soon turned a thrilling battle into one.

It's evolved into a one-sided stomp on noobs...

"Hehe, you're watching?"

In a flash, the woman appeared directly in front of Kujo Sara, and then attacked with even greater speed.

They seized the snow-white neck of the Tengu general.

"Uh..."

"Let me give you a compliment. Your lightning strike was impressive, but such an attack, full of flaws, is useless except for making me feel bored."

As the woman spoke, she cast a defiant glance at the figure positioned directly above the main hall.

At this moment, she holds the power of life and death over this believer of the god.

Even if the other party struggles desperately and tries to break free.

But this did nothing but make her death more ugly and further shame this heartless god.

"Now, die with shame, you lackey of the gods!"

The woman released her grip, causing the nearly unconscious Kujo Sara to collapse to the ground. Immediately afterward, she gathered icy power in her right hand.

The target is aimed directly at Kujo Sara's heart.

She was absolutely certain that she could use the power bestowed upon her by the Queen to freeze this woman's heart.

"it's over!"

Accompanied by words that sounded like a verdict, the woman suddenly struck...

However, due to the sudden attack, they had no choice but to retreat.
