Sky Eater Traveler

The girl felt this, but before her smile appeared, the sudden strong wind behind her made her instinctively jump off the tree trunk.In an instant, she stood still, holding the long sword in front of her, ready to fight.

In front of her was a ragged white bone with hollow inside of the eye sockets, and the surface of the skull was dry, and there was no part to express emotion.Needless to say, he was the attacker.

Although it was just a skeleton, his speed was not slow at all. The moment the girl was on guard, the fist clenched by Bai Gu came to the girl.The long sword parried, the sword body collided with the fist, and the girl who fell into the lower wind in the strength confrontation, the footsteps were slightly confused.And after this chaos, the skeleton did not give her another chance, seized this flaw, and with one blow, the long sword in the girl's hand was thrown into the air and landed not far away.

The skeleton did not continue to pursue, but blocked between the girl and the long sword.

For a young girl, the long sword that is almost as tall as herself is not a help, but a drag.The existence of the long sword will only make the girl lose her only advantage of 'flexibility'.

The girl looked at the calm attacker in front of her, showing her little tiger teeth angrily.This kind of unilateral attack has been going on since the girl was not yet sensible. This is a special training for her to become a powerful fire and fog warrior. The girl has long regarded this abnormal behavior as a part of her daily life.What she was really angry about was the timing of the sneak attack.Because of his appearance, she couldn't be sure whether the vibration of the long sword just now was a response to her or just an early warning.

The right foot flexed slightly and charged, and the girl suddenly bounced like a compressed spring towards the skeleton she named 'Xiao Bai'.The speed of the ejection has already exceeded the limit of human sprint speed. The Son of Destiny, born with a mission, has a talent that ordinary people can't match.Even if it is the power of existence that ordinary people cannot perceive, she gradually feels it under the guidance of everyone, and begins to use it for her own use.

"Um... ah!?"

But even so, after a few confrontations, the girl still sat on the ground while rolling.

The strange white bone figure was as usual, instead of looking down at the girl who fell to the ground, he turned around suddenly and left silently.Between the grass blown by the breeze and the shade of the linden tree, there was only the girl whose face was red with humiliation.

Since she was a child, no matter how hard she tried her best, Bai Gu has always been able to take the upper hand calmly.In other words, she has never won, not once.She will not seek any excuses or retreats. She, who aspires to become a fighter of fire fog but has been unsuccessful, is just annoyed by her unpromising performance.

And a woman dressed as a maid looked at this scene from a distance, without stepping forward to comfort her, she slowly turned around and walked towards the center of Tiandao Palace.

Deep in the center, is a stone-built room with no daylighting windows.However, it didn't feel dark here, because a blazing red flame was burning in the center of the room.Just give the whole room a bright flame, but there is nothing similar to fuel at the bottom, only a silver water tray-like thing, placed under the flame...

This water tray is called 'Kana'.It is a Noble Phantasm that allows the Apostles of the Red World to stay in this world without consuming the power of existence.This is a special Noble Phantasm created by the Crimson Demon King who built this palace in the past, in order to have a permanent and sincere communication with humans, so as to get rid of the stance of devouring humans.But now, that Demon King has passed away and has been replaced by another Red World Demon God, who is responsible for sitting in this palace and this immovable throne that shines with silver luster.

And this group of flames is the Red World Demon God who sits in this palace - 'Tian Earth Tribulation Fire' Alastair.

He couldn't move or exert his power, so he spent hundreds of years here, waiting for the Contractor to appear.

In the battle hundreds of years ago, he lost his contractor and almost lost his lover.It was that battle that made him feel a lot of things that were difficult to describe.So he was looking for it for hundreds of years, not for revenge, but for the mission of maintaining world order and balance, and moving forward with him as a contractor.

In order to accomplish this goal, he and like-minded companions are constantly sheltering and exercising children who are separated from this world and are about to disappear completely, sometimes many, sometimes only one.In this Heavenly Dao Palace, there were many people who had received the severe special training that girls are now carrying out.

However, in the continuous attempts, they gradually felt their wrong move. 2.2

The contractor they were looking forward to has never been able to be born smoothly.Among the children cultivated, those with superior strength blindly rely on strength, and those with smart minds blindly squander their wisdom. Even the rare ones with both wisdom and strength feel timid and even resist after understanding the meaning of the mission.

They gradually felt that the contractor they were looking forward to was, in essence, an existence full of contradictions.There is no heavy obsession, and no strong motivation, just devoting your life purely for the mission.Such a pure belief is difficult for humans with complex minds to possess.

After failing again and again, even when they felt that their ideals were just imaginary, a baby appeared in front of them.And in her, they finally saw hope.

Chapter [-] Misaki City

The woman in the maid outfit walked to the burning flame and bowed slightly to say hello.Buta Hime, who was unparalleled in combat skills back then, obeyed the entrustment of her old friend, and in this Heavenly Palace, she raised the successor of the 'Bright Eyed Killer'.

"...She has gradually begun to use the power of existence, and she may be familiar with this power before the contract."

"Wizards of the world!"

The third party present, Willemina's contract demon 'Dream Band' Tiamat, gave a concluding remark.

The flames swayed, and a thick voice like thunder in the distance spread from it: "Um... faster than I thought, is it really because of that Noble Phantasm?"

To gather the power of existence, or to forcibly gather the power of free existence.As long as you hold it, the power of existence around you will be densely surrounded by the body, and it can even absorb the power of existence, convert it into the power of existence with extremely high purity, and supply it to the girl.These powers of existence are only very weak in the eyes of the King of the Red World and the Demon God of the Red World, but for a girl, having such a Noble Phantasm by her side is undoubtedly a great boost to her cultivation.The girl can feel the power of existence today, and the physical quality is also greater than that of ordinary people. The role of this Noble Phantasm can be said to be indispensable.

"You went to see the 'king', did he say anything?"

Everyone is naturally wary of this long sword that suddenly appeared in the Tiandao Palace.Especially when this sword was 'randomly' obtained by a young girl, suspicion inevitably lingered in his heart.If it was a normal Noble Phantasm, it would be fine, but only this Noble Phantasm has a slightly different meaning.As I experienced the power of the 'Star of the Sword' in the past, and now I have discovered another function of this sword, how can I not know the power of this Noble Phantasm, and how can I not know who the owner of this Noble Phantasm is.

The companion of the gods, the indeterminate king who seems to be a god but not a god, if it is said that his Noble Phantasm is just left here, it is really unbelievable.If it wasn't for that 'king' who was quite mild in character and had given them favors, they would have almost sealed this Noble Phantasm away.After all, the idea of ​​the 'king' is as elusive as his title.

"When they meet at the crossroads of cause and effect, he will retrieve the Noble Phantasm without us returning it."

"...It seems that His Royal Highness also values ​​this child very much!"

That is not a Noble Phantasm that everyone can pick up. If anyone here except the girl picks it up, the only consequence is that the power of their own existence is forcibly swallowed up.And if you want to force it, the true power of the 'Sword Star' will explode.The fact that a young girl could hold such a Noble Phantasm in her hand already said a lot.

Alastair agreed: "Well, but from the current situation, the other party should have no malicious intentions, and it did not hinder our guidance to her..."

Speaking of this, Alastair's words couldn't help but stop, and then he didn't say any more.

"Did you notice it too?"

"..."

"Occasionally, I can feel that she has not fully trusted us, and has concealed something from us. There is something in her heart that she absolutely does not let us see, and does not want us to see."

"...Well...but, let's be the same in this regard!"

Alastair replied in a heavy tone, with a contradictory and complicated inexplicable emotion in his voice.

"..."

The same emotion spread in Will Amina's heart.It was a sadness, a sadness caused by loving a girl.

This sad feeling is not because the girl is hiding something from them, nor is she worried that the girl who grows up will not be able to meet their expectations.This sadness arises because they truly care about the girl.

They hope that the girl will become the ideal fire and fog warrior according to their expectations.Therefore, she does not give any other values, nor does she teach other necessary knowledge, but only teaches her the way of life to become the target of 'the scorching killer'.

They were almost modeling a 'tool', but they never saw her as a tool of their mission, nor as an object of experimentation.It's very contradictory. The girls who have grown up began to feel these, but because of this, they can't help but feel a little sad.

Because no matter what the girl hides, the path that drives her will not change.No matter what they are hiding from themselves, the practice of forcing teenage girls to move on will not change.They have long been tied to the same fate.

A chain called 'love' has entangled them tightly together.They love the girl very much, but because of this, the girl is bound before the inescapable fate, and has no choice but to move towards the path arranged by them.

There is probably nothing more sad than that they love the girl very much, but they are also using this love cruelly.
