because i am stel

— 'You must take revenge...'

--'revenge……'

The voice was like a poisonous snake crawling on her back.Like a swarm of flies, her shoulders trembled instinctively.

She was about to indulge in it like every nightmare in the past, accepting all the small sounds.However--

Right at this moment.

From her body, from her eyes, ears, mouth and nose, blazing fire spewed out!

Burning the skin and melting the bones, she turned into a burning skeleton in the flames in an instant.And when she was about to scream in terror.But she saw countless tiny maggots and poisonous flies in her body struggling and convulsing in the flames!

what is this! ?

How could these things appear in my body! ?

Her eyes widened, but the pupils also melted in the flames.But on the eve when everything turned into gorgeous darkness, there was another familiar yet unfamiliar word flooding into her ear.

"Right and justice - Lyudmila, you must learn and understand them."

"They're different, and sometimes they're diametrically opposed. And you have to understand them to understand your true goals and aspirations."

"It's not easy to be fooled by others."

..............................

"father!"

The Luper girl opened her eyes, and stretched out her hand to grab the sky.At the end of her field of vision, there was still a vaguely tall figure remaining.However, it disappeared without a trace like a dream in an instant.

No, not like.That is fantasy.

She didn't feel the severe burning pain spreading all over her body until now... Flames, high fever, they could have easily taken her life.But in the end, only pain was left for her - she looked around, the ruins of the city melted by the flames had cooled and solidified.But she looked at her hands and feet, only to find that they were only hot and red, but there was no substantial damage.

However, besides this, she seemed to see strands of flowing fire—flame flowing under her skin, floating like slender threads.And accompanied by some vague and ambiguous feeling, she felt as if there were streams of heat flowing between her limbs and bones, and finally gathered in her lower abdomen.

Maybe that was an illusion too.

She shook her head, and the clear feeling that she could feel at the last moment disappeared without a trace.Instead, it is boiling with the blood in the body, burning emotions and enthusiasm!

"Being spared... because there's no need to trample a bug to death?"

She pressed her chest and barely supported her body to stand up.She didn't know why she was able to survive, but she knew that she had the opportunity to continue to complete revenge on the original betrayer and betrayer...

...Wait, revenge...why do I think those two are 'revenge' so accurately?

There is obviously insufficient evidence and lack of motivation.Why would I...

She shook her head violently, but she couldn't understand why she had doubts about the past life creed at this time.No, now is not the time to think about those things, I have more important things to do.

"I have to tell other people about Frost Star...I have to tell them!"

Struggling, she tried her best to take steps towards the gathering place of the integration movement.It was very difficult at first, and she barely limped, but soon her steps became stable and her figure became agile.

...have to tell them.

. . . the people of the integration movement must be told that they are facing disaster.

...Tell them that the Burning Cinder Demon has already targeted us infected people, and is about to attack us!

She is quick and determined.However, he subconsciously put aside the rule that as a cadre, he should first inform the leader of this uncertain information—maybe it was out of fear, because that is the burning demon who can defeat a country with one person!

But it's also possible that it's because she no longer puts her loyalty and trust in Tallulah at the top of her policy.

She left as quickly as she came.

And at the end behind her, somewhere on top of the towering wreckage that was clearly close in front of her eyes, but she turned a blind eye to—

Playing with the jumping flame in her hand, Miss Shirter watched silently as Miss Wolf, who had already been tagged by herself, disappeared into the end of her vision.

Charm - in the world of black souls, the holder of the flame can use his own flame to affect the flame of life of others.And this method has nothing to do with appearance, speech, reputation and other things.The key point of performing the spell lies in the strength of the flames one possesses.

And although this is not Rodland, the truth about power is not without commonality.There is still a similar fire of life working in the body of the living being without the primordial fire.It only needs to adjust the means of use a little, then the foreign magic can be reproduced in this world in a different way.

"It's so pitiful, Lyudmila. It turns out that someone put the 'collar' on you long before I did it."

Her eyes moved away from the kingslayer's back, turned to the west, and turned to the direction of Syracuse.That piece of land is worth a glimpse of her, and it's worth picking out a little itinerary for her to wander there in the future.

"I hope you can come out on your own...I have given you a chance to break the old shackles around your neck. But the traces of domestication will not be easily eliminated, and new things may not necessarily cover old things."

"Try hard, Lyudmila. Otherwise...you will only be my dog."

Flames rose around her body, accompanied by the flow of sulfur breath.A new hunt has been hatched.

No.15: The Purity of Tool Man

The terrible news spread like wildfire.

With the return of the bruised Kingslayer in public, the exact information that came out of her mouth was also scattered in the temporary camp of the integration movement.

——"Have you heard? Burning Ember Demon, that demon is after us! Some cadres have already been captured!"

——"That demon killed a whole team! I saw it. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that the sky over there was completely dyed red by the fire!"

—"We've got trouble! Big trouble!"

- "Damn it! What the leader is doing! We shouldn't be waiting here to die!"

——"The patriots seem to have passed away, and no one cares about our lives?"

Three people become tigers, and four people become disasters.And once rumors arise, they cannot be easily extinguished invisible.

It didn't take long for someone to notice that Froststar and her team of yeti hadn't arrived at camp on time.It didn't take long for the Kingslayer's injuries to be noticed, and the Ghost and Squadbreaker teams secured her in the infirmary.The unusual movement of Patriot-affiliated units was soon noticed, and attempts to restore order were futile.

However, the leaders of the integration movement did not act immediately.

And so chaos began to spread.

In the beginning, they were members of the periphery, nameless thugs, and homeless people, but because of the strength of the integration movement, they took refuge here to seek shelter.Most of them are natives of Ursus, and they know what the word 'burner demon' means.

Under the umbrella of the Reunification Movement, they dared to make an enemy of Ursus.

But they still fear Ursus as their enemy.

And even Ursus, whom they feared deeply in their hearts, suffered repeated pains in the face of the burning demon.

So they fled.

As a thug, as a vagabond, as a mob.They tore off the armbands of the Reunification Movement, armed with supplies and fled.Even if there is an 'army' of patriots to maintain order, even if there are Mephisto's chess pieces that are restrained by torture.They still ran away.

And if one person escapes, ten people will be frightened.

If ten people flee, thousands of people will retreat.

——"I don't want to die! We can't beat that monster!"

——"We infected people don't need to be enemies with demons!"

——"Sarkaz! That demon must be targeting those Sarkaz mercenaries! Hand them over! Hand them over!"

Chaos and friction amplified further.It was just lip service at first, but soon some hot-headed and reckless people clamored to attack the Sarkaz mercenary camp - they really did, and then, Sarkaz, who never swallowed his anger, The Khazis provoked further conflict with blood.

A thug had his arm chopped off by a swordsman.

And the blood spurred further chaos.And at this time, even if the patriots with high prestige in the integration movement showed up, they used their halberds to prevent further conflicts...

...The collapse of the integration movement has also become inevitable.

..........................................

Ines wiped the staff in her hand, and looked worriedly at the chaos outside the camp.She is one of the captains of the Sarkaz mercenary regiment belonging to the Integration Movement.And in her Originium skill, which can partially see through people's hearts, a civil strife that is about to break out is counting down with extremely short numbers.

"...all the people, even the old man. Their 'shadows' trembled like frogs that saw a snake. They were afraid, afraid...they were going to die."

She raised her head and looked at her other companion, Hedley.There is an unconcealable sadness in the pretty face.

"Just hearing a name, just getting some unconfirmed information. They are so afraid... Can a person's reputation really reach this level? Even if he hasn't shown up, he will be shaken." The cornerstone structure of such a huge force?"

"You know it well, Ines." Her companion was a tall Sarkaz man with a calm face. "They are afraid of her, afraid of her power. They are afraid of her violence and madness. Even you are the same."

"You even held the staff backwards."

Ines' fingers were stiff, and she silently turned the staff in her hand.There was a silent wry smile on the corner of her mouth.Then there was a silent sigh.

How could she not be afraid?How can you not be afraid?

Even now, she still clearly remembers the scene she saw when she was in Kazdel.

It was dusk.

Dusk swallowed the night, the earth and the starry sky, and even the aftermath of the natural disaster cloud. Then, like the end of the world, endless flames erupted from the small point at the end of the line of sight, tearing apart valleys and dividing rivers. Turn that plain into a scorched waste pit that has been uninhabitable until now.After that, it is the fire that burns out the mountains, forests and water.

Even if it is directly hit by the natural disaster cloud, it is impossible to create such terrible consequences.

And at that time, I was at least five kilometers away from the place where 'Twilight' descended, and I almost couldn't bear the aftermath of that destruction.

All the Sarkaz thought at that time that the civil war was coming to an end and Her Highness Theresa would regain the throne.Lead Kazdel to greater glory.

But everything changed in the blink of an eye.Theresa was assassinated, and Theresis miraculously survived the twilight fire and assumed Kazdel's throne.Even though he has always been the Prince Regent with a bad name, even if he fled away from Victoria immediately after assuming the throne, and he rarely showed up and was used as a substitute in most cases-he also became the king of Sarkaz.

But that doesn't matter.

At that time, no one paid attention to who Kazdel's king belonged to.Everyone, all the forces that are qualified to play chess on this world stage, at that moment, wherever they can see, are paying attention to where the defeated Twilight Flame will vent its vengeance.

Everyone thought Victoria would be its second target.However, no one thought that the head of the emperor of Ursus would turn the hunter into a burning demon again.Everyone thought that it would stop in the territory of Ursas, but they didn't expect that its goal was once directed to many countries in this world.

Casimir, Letania, Columbia, Victoria, Yan... It is like a mad beast attacking the rulers and kings of this continent.Some wars are known to the world, and some wars are hidden in secrecy.However, in any case, the final result is that the monster who has been crowned with many titles has won again and again.

It's mad, it's mad at failure—that's how the world perceives it.

Or, it wasn't on Theresia's side from the very beginning, it was just a natural war madness.Challenge many strong players to look forward to the final victory.

It has disappeared in recent years, perhaps because of boredom, injury, or lack of suitable opponents.However……

Years are not enough to make memories forget.When it reappears in the world, fear will fill the hearts of every living creature that needs to face it.

Even the very few insiders who have guessed its true identity are the same.

"You said..." Ines took a light breath.She and Hedley used to work in the Tower of Babel, and even if they chose to leave in the end, the many times of cooperation let them know some inside stories that no one planned to hide at that time.

"...Is she really crazy? After Theresa's assassination?"

"I don't know." Hedley shook his head. "I really do not know."

He glanced around, and it wasn't too difficult to confirm that there was no third pair of ears around - which was a matter of course, because he had already confirmed it more than once.And he knew better that the apparent leader of the mercenaries was hiding in the tent and shivering.

"She... Sylter, in my opinion, is a very strange woman. If Her Highness Thearesia is the warm sun in the morning, gently shining on everything in the world and bringing hope to people. Then she... ...In my opinion, it is the sunset in the evening. Even if it is warm and soft. But what she brings to herself never includes hope."

"She is so contradictory... I have never seen warmth and loneliness in one person in such harmony. She treats everyone around her, Her Highness Theresa, Lord Kelsey, the Doctor, W, Many operators of the Tower of Babel, even you and I who just settled in the Tower of Babel by chance, have extraordinary trust...

...she could go through fire and water for a joke.I still vaguely remember the joke Her Highness Theresa made casually back then.Said that he wanted an Iberian whispering flower that was tainted with the curse of the sea.Then she really disappeared for nine days and nine nights without making a sound, and then dragged her tired body on the morning of the tenth day, and offered to His Highness the shallow sea song that is the only one in the world..."

He shook his head with a complex expression on his face.

"For the first time, I knew that Her Majesty Theresa would also show that expression. Anger, sadness, pity, fear...and there were other things that I couldn't understand. And the same thing happened not only to Her Majesty Theresa , and it also happened to Lord Kelsey, W, and even the doctor who didn't want to reveal his appearance..."

"However, this is only a part of her. The evening sun not only illuminates everything, but also rejects everything."

"I can see that she is sincere to everyone close to her. But I have a feeling that she is never willing to admit that is her sincerity. She seems to be bound by something, maybe something, or something. Maybe some part of the past. And it made her only willing to give, not take—"

—Accept the possibility of being betrayed.

He shook his head and didn't continue talking.Some things should not be talked about even behind people's backs, and Hedley is considered an upright person in the ranks of Sarkaz.

"So...you don't rule out the possibility of her going crazy?" Ines asked softly, but in a declarative tone.

"I don't deny it. Besides, you should see this kind of thing more clearly than I do."

Ines shook her head slightly.

"I dare not look at her shadow."

"... That's true. Maybe even His Royal Highness Theresa is unwilling to peek into her heart." Hedley laughed and sighed. "And whether it's you or me, in fact, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"

Ines didn't answer.

She just turned her eyes and looked at the last empty seat in the room - that was the seat of W.And that little Sarkaz girl had already disappeared from this camp when the news of the 'burning embers' came.

They knew it and didn't stop it.

Therefore, they have already made a conclusion in their hearts.

——Even crazy people can maintain sanity under certain circumstances.In other words, their world is just incompatible with the world of ordinary people.

And at the same moment, on an inaccessible hill where the Sarkaz mercenary group under the integration movement was stationed.Miss Shirtel was watching Sarkaz, who was about to meet her, with white hair, red eyes, and almost always a narrow smile.
