Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Is the True Ancestor the real True Ancestor?"

Shh, don't say anything.

Anran gestured for the scholars to be quiet.

An Ran silently murmured to herself, "You are the King of the Crimson Lotus?"

However, the heart did not respond.

Is this not acceptable?

So she changed to speaking: "You are the King of the Red Lotus."

There has still been no response.

"..."

Is it that you can't hear me, or that you don't want to answer?

An Ran prepared to pull the sword out of the fire.

The lava below immediately entangled the sword in the fire, and its power was considerable, but it was still far inferior to An Ran's.

Can you hear me?

"Answer me if you can hear me?"

"Hey?"

"Hello, hello, hello—"

Grass!

If the Crimson Lotus King were standing right in front of her, An Ran would definitely go up and stab it twice, piercing it through.

Since talking here won't work, we'll have to go through that detector.

The scholars found it motionless, as if carefully examining a sword in the fire.

In fact, Enron moved the probe a few more steps forward.

Walk up to the walls formed by the veins.

“You may not believe it, but I really have no ill intentions towards you,” a calm voice came from the detector.

Boom boom...

"If I really had any ill intentions towards you, I would have cut off these pipes connecting your body long ago. Without the supply of external energy, you would never be able to wake up."

“But I didn’t do that. I thought that was enough to show my sincerity. I came here to help you.”

Boom boom...

This time it was the sound of "blood vessels" moving.

The blood vessel beneath the detector was directly removed.

What appeared before An Ran was a red-hot liquid, with a temperature of nearly 6000 degrees Celsius.

"If you can speak, say something. It's not good to just stare at each other like this."

"..."

The probe attempted to get around to the heart from below, but was blocked by blood vessels.

An Ran took a deep breath.

This broken heart is really vigilant.

"You've been silently absorbing the power of those dead powerhouses of the Crimson Demon Clan to strengthen yourself, haven't you? Don't try to deny it, I know it perfectly well."

"Don't you feel guilty? The Crimson Demon Clan sacrificed so much just to help you grow stronger, and what have you done? You haven't given them anything in return, not even any feedback, leaving them to wait in endless fear."

"Don't tell me this has nothing to do with you. That Calamity Dragon outside sealed off this planet because of you. The Crimson Demon Clan is what it is now, and you deserve some credit for that."

"By the way, there are now many more people stronger than that dragon searching for you. They come from the Sea of ​​Time Starfield, from the Exiled Empire, and from the Eternal Star Road. Just think about it, a single Calamity Dragon nearly wiped out the Crimson Demon Clan. What will it be like when those people arrive?"

"The Crimson Demon Clan cannot possibly survive!"

"As you can see, I also came from the outside world. But I am different from them, not only in my attitude towards you, but also because I come from another star field. A star field different from the Sea of ​​Time and the Star Tree. You've heard of Hidden Sands, right? I came from the other side of that."

buzz~

While speaking peacefully.

The blood vessels that had been blocking the detector suddenly receded.

This time, An Ran was finally able to examine the crimson heart more closely.

Her heart flickered once, and she saw a wing inside it.

wing?

An Ran suddenly recalled the image of the Crimson King from the trailer.

It resembles a fire demon with six wings, reminiscent of Diablo.

"I have some recollection of the starry sky tree you mentioned."

Suddenly, a voice came from that heart.

They finally replied.

And it seems her deduction was correct.

"Since you have an impression of the Starry Sky Tree, you must know how dire your situation is."

However, An Ran received a negative answer.

"No, I just have a vague feeling that I have some recollection of this word."

"Just a vague impression?"

"Yes."

"What else do you remember?"

"I know nothing about anything except what happened in this purgatory."

"Eh..."

An Ran's voice suddenly became drawn out.

Isn't that just a little bit better than a newborn baby?

Wait a moment.

An Ran rolled her eyes.

Wouldn't that be better?

"It seems I have to make you realize how cruel this world is, and I'm the one who can guide you! You just wait."

While the scholars were in shock, An Ran jumped directly into the lava pit.

Chapter 17 Beginning from Purgatory

boo——

There must have been a sound like that ringing in my ears.

After passing through that narrow passage, I safely arrived in the lava world where the heart is located.

Is this the purgatory mentioned in the prophecy?

Anran closed her eyes and took several deep breaths, and could smell the pungent odor.

The moment she landed, countless blood vessels shot out towards her, unlike the gentle treatment given to the detector.

Because that heart sensed danger.

The human who suddenly appeared was more powerful than it had imagined.

It is too weak now and is no match for this woman. If it is not careful, it may be torn to pieces.

An Ran did not retaliate.

She moved like a nimble fish, deftly dodging all the attacking blood vessels.

At that moment, she also received a message from that heart.

"Outsider, you are not welcome here."

An Ran asked in surprise, "Huh? Weren't we having a great chat just now?"

My heart stopped responding.

An Ran explained, "The detector you saw was made by me, and the one talking to you is actually me."

"..."

I mean you no harm.

"..."

"I'm here to help you."

"..."

"Are you just going to die here doing nothing? It won't be long before those people outside come looking for you."

"..."

"Some of them come from the Star Tree, especially those from the Eternal Star Road. To ensure the safety of the Star Road, they will not let you go."

My heart finally started to react when the Starry Sky Tree was mentioned.

However, his feedback was not very positive.

"Human words are not to be trusted."

Ok?

Isn't that a coincidence?

Anran suddenly felt a surge of joy.
