Feili raised a massive sword made of crimson flames high into the air, the firelight dyeing the entire forest a bright red.
“Beautiful lady, watch closely~”
‘What the hell is this?’
Duoluolisi stared in shock at the towering crimson inferno, its height still rising.
The Flame Demon opposite was terrified by the sight. The pressure from those pink flames left it breathless.
Under the overwhelming pink flames, the black flame in its hand looked pitifully small.
“No, this must be some kind of illusion!”
The Flame Demon’s competitive spirit flared. It frantically condensed the black flame in its hand, trying to shape it into a massive form just like Feili.
“Those are mere ordinary flames. My hellfire cannot lose!”
Yet no matter how hard it channeled its Demon God Power, the black flame in its hand remained shorter than the pink flames, like a tiny spark trying to rival the sun.
“Beautiful lady~ Step back a bit. I’m afraid I might hurt you~”
Feili’s long hair fluttered in the heatwave of the flames.
Her amber eyes shimmered with a blazing crimson light, and a confident smile curled her lips.
Duoluolisi obediently retreated a dozen steps.
Her foot hit a tree root, and noticing there was still one tree that had survived the black flames, she ducked behind it.
‘Feili’s strike might just blow up the entire canyon.’
‘Maybe I should move farther away?’
“Almost done~ Mister Flame Demon.”
Feili gripped the sword’s hilt with both hands.
The crimson flames on the giant sword erupted.
“Catch this~”
[Crimson Sky Slash]
A colossal pillar of crimson fire sliced downward, its blazing tail leaving a beautiful afterimage in the air.
The Flame Demon hadn’t even finished forming its black fireball when the fiery pillar was already upon it.
BOOM!!!
A blinding pink light illuminated the entire canyon.
The dense forest was split in two, leaving a deep trench still burning with pink flames.
The Flame Demon’s body was engulfed in the crimson fire.
Its black flame stone form turned into a pink flame stone golem.
It flailed wildly, trying to extinguish the flames, but the fire only grew fiercer.
“What kind of fire is this? Why can’t I put it out!”
Panicked, it tried to use its black flame to devour the pink flames covering its body.
But as soon as the black flame touched the pink, it was consumed instead.
[Crimson Sky Slash] was a combined Sword Technique of Fire Magic and Holy Magic.
The beautiful crimson flames were just a facade.
What truly made the Flame Demon unable to extinguish them was the Holy Power contained within.
Holy Magic naturally countered the Dark Magic of the Demon Race. Although the thing had transformed into a Flame Demon, its original Magic Source was that of a Shadow Demon.
And the Shadow Demon’s Magic Source was pure Dark Element—it was completely countered.
“No!”
The Flame Demon let out a despairing roar as it watched its body be devoured by the pink flames.
Feili stood still, watching until the Flame Demon had completely turned to ash.
The crimson flames on her sword dissipated, scattering into sparks that drifted through the air.
She swung her sword in a graceful arc before theatrically sheathing it.
‘Is it over?’
Duoluolisi peeked out from behind the tree.
After confirming the Flame Demon was gone, she walked over to Feili, her eyes fixed on the trench still filled with drifting sparks.
She was genuinely surprised that Feili could already use [Crimson Sky Slash].
This was a move learned mid-game. Its power could be increased by charging, theoretically making it a skill with no upper limit.
She didn’t know exactly how strong Feili was now.
Calculating from the fastest possible development speed in the game, Feili would at most be at the quasi-fifth-level Magic Swordsman level.
Her mastery of Sword Qi would still be rough, and the Sword Qi she generated would be unstable.
But looking at it now, Feili definitely had the strength of a Magic Swordsman.
Feili had been reborn.
She definitely had a way to quickly improve her abilities.
It wasn’t surprising that she could reach a higher level than in the game.
But this [Crimson Sky Slash] move was only obtained in the game when reaching Sword Master at level seven.
With Feili’s current mana, forcing this magic would put a massive strain on her body.
‘What was Feili thinking?’
‘Since she had already reached the Magic Swordsman level, she could have easily beaten the Flame Demon by just using Sword Qi step by step. There was no need to use that flashy, mana-draining move. It was like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken.’
‘What’s more, I had already worn down the Shadow Demon for half a day. Even if it transformed into a Flame Demon, its mana was limited. I could have just whittled it down slowly. Feili wouldn’t have lost.’
Duoluolisi glanced at Feili.
Sure enough, Feili’s forehead was beaded with sweat, and her breathing was heavy.
Looking closely, her white-stockinged legs were trembling slightly, as if she might collapse at any moment.
“Are you okay?”
Duoluolisi asked with concern.
Afraid Feili might fall, she reached out to support her.
“I’m fine~ Is the beautiful lady worried about me?”
Feili maintained her elegant “battle settlement” pose.
“How was my slash just now? Cool, wasn’t it~”
‘This girl!’
Duoluolisi’s concern instantly evaporated.
Fine, fine.
She saw it now.
Feili didn’t care about the consequences at all.
She just wanted to show off in front of her, didn’t she?
She exhausted herself just to act cool in front of Duoluolisi.
Only Feili would do such a thing.
Luckily, that slash had instantly killed the Flame Demon.
If it had missed, Feili would have had to start over again.
Duoluolisi found Feili increasingly unreliable.
With that kind of strength, instead of thinking about how to defeat the Demon King in the future, she was wasting it on showing off.
Her mind was only on flirting with girls.
No wonder she had been reborn so many times.
If there was an Affection Level indicator above her head, she’d want to drop Feili’s to -99.
Rustle Rustle Rustle
It was the sound of leaves being crushed underfoot.
‘Someone else is here?’
Duoluolisi looked up warily.
The newcomer was a brown-haired girl holding a magic wand.
It was Dailina.
She had followed them too?
“Feili, is it resolved?”
Dailina’s wand gathered a golden light.
She had apparently reserved her mana in advance, ready to cast a spell at any moment.
“Yeah, it’s resolved.”
Feili took two steps forward, her body swaying slightly.
But she steadied herself immediately, not letting herself fall.
“Feili!”
Dailina immediately stopped her magic and ran over to support her.
“I’m fine. I just used a bit too much mana.”
Feili turned her head to look at Dailina.
“But with Dailina holding me like this, I feel like my mana is recovering instantly~”
Duoluolisi was speechless.
‘…?’
‘She puts on a show for me, then turns around and flirts with Dailina?’
‘You hopeless, philandering Female Sea King. Anyone who follows you has eight generations of bad luck.’
Duoluolisi felt that -99 was even too generous. Better drop it to -999.
“Feili, you’re saying strange things again…”
Dailina’s face flushed slightly, but she noticed Duoluolisi standing there.
After glancing at Duoluolisi’s school uniform, she asked, “Huh? And you are?”
“This is the beautiful lady I met in the forest~”
Feili pulled away from Dailina and gently brushed her hair with her hand.
“When I arrived, I saw her fighting that Shadow Demon man.”
She turned her head and winked at Duoluolisi.
“This beautiful lady is really skilled~ Too bad that Shadow Demon was cunning and attacked her from behind when she wasn’t paying attention…”
Feili started describing the battle in vivid detail, while Duoluolisi only had question marks floating above her head.
‘When had I fought that Shadow Demon so spectacularly?’
