I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

The ice-blue flame was not as hot as one might imagine. Instead, it was filled with a chill just like its color.

However, looking at the melted stone steps not far ahead, one cannot despise them.

"Qiang!!!"

Asuna drew out the rapier from her waist and stabbed it hard at the bluestone steps under her feet, but it only left a white dot, without even a dent!

"The power of that flame..." Seeing this, Leafa's face changed and she also drew out the one-handed sword at her waist and slashed at the ground.

“Clang~!!!”

The strong recoil caused Leafa's one-handed sword and arm to tremble.

However, the final result was no different from Asuna's, leaving only a long scratch.

However, the flames from the fox's feet directly melted the bluestone steps!

This huge gap, like an insurmountable chasm, made Asuna and Leafa feel desperate.

How can one fight this? !

"That fox..." Asuna couldn't help but frowned, "Could it be that it wants to attack Kirito-kun? And then defeat us one by one?"

But... just with its flames, can it easily kill them all?

Or... is there something more important to that fox monster than us, the end of the stone stairs above? !

"No matter what, it's dangerous for my brother up there!" Leafa's eyes flashed with determination, "Asuna."

"Well, let's follow!"

Asuna nodded heavily. Now, she could only hope that Kirito had reached the end of the stone steps and protected what the fox wanted.

When the time comes, as long as we wait for them to arrive, we can deal with the fox together!

Although the flames on its body made it impossible for people to get close to it, there must be something in the copy that could restrain it. Maybe the fox ignored them just to destroy that thing!

The reason why the fox did not attack them immediately might be due to the setting of the copy.

(Fox: No... If you die, the cause and effect between us will be severed. These torii will burn me to death!!!)

However, what they didn't know was that the black-clad swordsman who had run up so early had already died and was unable to help them at all.

He didn't even know how he died...

……

……

"Hoo~!"

"Hoo~!"

"Hoo~!"

The ice-blue flames dragged out long flames under the strong wind, and the scarlet in the white fox's eyes, which had turned into flames, became more and more lively.

The vermilion lights danced in the air, emitting a faint glow, almost the same as the vermilion of the torii gate and the candlelight of the lanterns.

Those guys seemed to have noticed his existence and began to gather together gradually.

However, the butterflies were too slow for it. This was a great opportunity for it!

"Roar--!!!"

It estimated the distance between itself and them, and wantonly released the ice-blue flames on its body, covering all the white hair.

The tender flesh on the back that was damaged by the torii and lost the protection of hair was protected by it using flames from a distance.

The muscles in its limbs tensed and exploded with the flames. It leaped high and pounced forward.

"Crash!!!"

Under its feet, the stone steps that it had stepped on completely melted, slowly flowing down like magma and solidifying.

The bloody mouth that had lost its fangs suddenly opened, and a light blue light appeared from its abdominal cavity, then quickly moved to the throat, and finally burst out!

The flames covered the top of the group of butterflies, as if trying to catch all the fiery red butterflies that were still gathering!

The vermilion torii emitted a faint light, and the originally dim lanterns seemed to be in a strong wind, shaking wildly. The candlelight coming out of them suddenly became stronger, and together with the faint light emitted from the torii, it sprinkled on the ice-blue flame of the white fox.

第27章白狐：说好的1v1？（悬赏3/20）

"Tsk tsk tsk!!!"

The flames on the white fox's body seemed to be extinguished directly by a basin of cold water, but they burned again very tenaciously.

The icy blue light carried the light of the torii and lanterns, and rushed towards the butterflies unyieldingly.

“Swish, swish, swish—!!!”

The butterflies, also illuminated by the torii and candlelight, gathered together tightly. They transformed into a ball of scarlet flame and flew directly towards the ice-blue flame of the white fox.

With the torii, candlelight, and subsequent butterflies, they did not think they would lose to the white fox.

Two different flames met from the void.

There is vermilion in the ice blue and ice blue in the vermilion.

Both of them attacked each other's core.

The two powerful energies caused the void to distort, and their tug-of-war had just begun and was about to come to an end.

One by one, fiery red butterflies appeared from the void and flew towards the scarlet aggregate like moths to a flame.

"Plop~!"

The huge white fox knelt on all fours, with only a thin layer of flames remaining on its body. The flames on its paws had completely disappeared, and it could no longer cause damage to the bluestone steps.

The rising ice-blue flame in its eyes became a little dim, as if it was exhausted.

"Om~~~"

The light from the torii slowly faded away, as if it felt that the scarlet butterflies had already secured victory and there was no need for it to intervene.

"Wow~~~"

The red lanterns stopped swaying, and the light that had suddenly burst out dimmed again, as if it also felt that the outcome of this sudden battle had been decided.

The scarlet flame grew stronger and stronger, and at this moment, there were no more butterflies to replenish the flame.

The fire in the white fox's mouth could only barely be maintained, and under the pressure of the fire transformed from the butterfly, its huge body had to retreat step by step.

The ice-blue flame was constantly suppressed, getting closer and closer to the white fox. Even, the vermilion light directly suppressed the ice-blue of the white fox, and directly dyed the hair on its forehead red!

The white fox took another step back, its limbs trembling slightly, as if this fight had consumed a lot of its physical strength.

The ice-blue flame in its mouth was suppressed by the scarlet, and its original color could no longer be seen. The identities of the two were reversed.

It originally wanted to prey on butterflies, but was about to be preyed on by butterflies.

If there hadn't been the interference of the torii and the candlelight, it might have successfully devoured the butterflies, increasing its strength further, and then successfully entered the shrine and liberated its master.

It’s a pity...there are no ifs in the world.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps behind it.

It knew that it was those weak humans who had caught up with it.

The fire in its eyes flickered unwillingly.

After much difficulty, it finally waited for the appearance of humans again.

With great difficulty, with the help of the cause and effect of human harm, it successfully embarked on the only road leading to the shrine.

Finally, he was about to devour the nasty butterfly and rescue his master...

"Roar!!!"

A look of unwillingness flashed across its eyes, and its mouth, which had lost its fangs, sucked in suddenly, retracted the flame, covered it in its mouth, and used the flame to condense its fangs again.

Looking at the red fire that was rushing towards him without hesitation, the white fox summoned up his last bit of strength and pounced towards the red fire!

"Crash!!!"

The fox's mouth, shining with blue light, bit off a piece of the red fire and swallowed it into its stomach without even having time to chew.

A fiery red light lit up in the white fox's belly, and was finally extinguished by the blue light that rushed in.

And the power it absorbed was only a little bit left.

The scarlet flames rose violently, spreading rapidly over the white fox's body, igniting its pure white fur.

“Ho ho ho ho ho—!!!”

The white fox's face twisted and it rolled over on the bluestone steps in pain, but even so, it still didn't dare to get too close to the torii.

Asuna and the other two quickly stepped back, looking at the struggling white fox in shock.

The ice-blue flame reappeared on the white fox's body, but soon, the ice-blue was quickly extinguished just like the scarlet flame that had just been swallowed by the white fox.

The scarlet flames burned hair and flesh without mercy.

The white fox covered its mouth with the icy blue flames again, pointed its burnt head towards its body, and began to bite the flames that were like maggots on its tarsus.

Rays of fiery red light were swallowed by the white fox, but even so, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Every time the white fox tears off a piece of fire on its body and swallows it into its stomach, the fire in other parts will quickly replenish it.

Moreover, the head of the white fox has always been the main attack range of the scarlet light. At this moment, the icy blue light in the white fox's eyes is swaying wildly.

The ice blue and scarlet were fighting fiercely on the white fox's head, just like the Chu River and the Han River, the two flames each occupied half of the white fox's head, clearly separated.

"It seems... I have to help my brother complete quests all day long..." Leafa carried Maple on her back and looked at the battle in front of her, turning her head away as if she couldn't bear it.

"Sister Leafa, I'm here to help you!"

Maple, who was being carried on Leafa's back, seemed to be very interested in the battle between the white fox and the flame.

This kid...seems...like he really wants to rush over and interfere? !

Leafa looked at the excited smile on Maple's face and quickly suppressed the thought in her mind.

What am I thinking? Maple just has a little bit higher defense! But she has always been an honest and obedient child. How could she have such a weird idea of ​​rushing up to fight a monster and deliberately taking damage from the monster? !

"Well, thank you, Maple." While hiding her embarrassment, Leafa raised her hand and rubbed Maple's little head. "But, have you finished your homework? If not, I won't allow you to help!"

"Ahahaha...homework and stuff...of course...hahahaha...I've finished it..."

When Maple heard the word "homework", the expression on her face suddenly became extremely stiff. She laughed and turned her head away, not wanting Leafa to see her expression at this moment.

"Hehe~" Asuna couldn't help but chuckled when she saw this, "Then I'll leave Kirito-kun's resurrection mission to you~"

"Well, anyway, as long as you have the quest item, you can enter the dungeon at any time. Asuna, just do your own thing."

Although Leafa expressed sympathy for Asuna's half-hour gaming time every day, she couldn't help. After all, it was someone else's family matter.

Moreover, Asuna seemed to have gotten used to it, so I should not meddle in other people's business, lest Asuna lose the remaining 30 minutes because of my own fault.

"It's almost over there..."

Asuna sighed as she looked at the dying white fox, which looked no different from barbecued meat.

"Really... Such strong bosses, and there are two of them, how are we supposed to clear the level?!"

Be brave and go up, and then become barbecue like that white fox?

Or, canned roast?

Or... not even ashes left?

Chapter 28 Lotus and Fertilizer (Two-in-one Deadline Update)

"Huh? What just happened?"

Leafa looked up with confusion in her eyes and asked in confusion.

"do not you remember?"

"It seemed... I saw some beautiful butterflies... and then it seemed... I fell asleep?"

Leafa shook her head slightly and looked at Asuna uncertainly.
