“No matter how many times I watch it, it feels magical.”
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
The battle with Fariagni was over, but there was still a lot of mess to deal with. The whole school was torn apart in the conflict between the two sides, and many people were injured. The only lucky thing was that they were not absorbed by Fariagni's power of existence, otherwise they would have died. Now, according to Shana, as long as the power of existence was used to repair everything, they could be brought back to life.
Fortunately, Fariagni had attracted enough power of existence when he started to devour the city, so it could be used for repairs. Otherwise, I'm afraid the situation would become even more troublesome.
That's great, I really want to learn...
However, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel fascinated as he watched everything in front of him return to its original state as if a movie was rewound. Feng Jue was not a domain, so there was no need to worry about resistance. Moreover, in Feng Jue, even if there was a huge fight, it would not affect the main world at all. If necessary, it could even be used as a weapon to escape - but the biggest flaw of Feng Jue at present, in Fang Zheng's opinion, was that it would wrap everything in it. According to Fang Zheng's idea, if Feng Jue could make some choices, at least exclude those ordinary people with no power, then it would be more convenient to fight.
Just when Fang Zheng was distracted, suddenly, Alastor's voice sounded in his ears.
"What power are you using?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng turned his head and glanced at the pendant on the girl's chest - it was the treasure that the Red World Demon King Alastor resided in. It can be said that in this world, he can only continue to exist here in this form.
"I can feel that just at that moment, Fariagni's existence was forcibly expelled from this world."
There was a hint of solemnity in Alastor's voice. In fact, he was just as surprised as Fariagni. Unlike Fariagni, Tianrang Jiehuo, one of the three great demon gods in the Red World, felt the terrifying pressure more deeply. And most importantly, Fang Zheng did not expel Fariagni from this world by his own strength. On the contrary, it was the whole world that was expelling Fariagni from it!
Faced with the rejection of an entire world, even the powerful Red World Devil cannot resist this force.
Alastor was certain that in the long years of his life, he had never seen any Red World Demon King or Fire Mist Warrior possess such powerful strength, not to mention that Fang Zheng in front of him was not a Red World disciple, nor had he signed a contract with any Red World Demon King. He was just a simple human being!
How does a human being do this?
"How on earth did you do that?"
"hehe."
Facing Alastor's question, Fang Zheng just smiled. But even so, the Red World Demon King had already gotten the answer.
That means "not telling you".
"Well, next, after defeating the boss, it's time to collect the loot."
Seeing everything in front of him return to normal, Fang Zheng stretched himself, then he looked at Alastor again.
"By the way, you just said that this guy named Fariagni is very good at using treasures?"
"That's right."
Although he didn't know why Fang Zheng asked him this question, Alastor quickly gave an answer.
"Each Crimson Demon King has his own 'nature', and Fariagni's 'nature' is that he can instantly see through the properties and usage of all treasures. So he can perfectly use any treasure to fight. Today, thanks to the unexpected attack, we were able to defeat him. If we give him enough time to prepare..."
As Alastor said, as a well-known Red World Demon King among the Red World disciples, Fariagni's fame as a "Fire Mist Warrior Hunter" itself shows his outstanding strength. In fact, if Fang Zheng hadn't interrupted his teleportation with the dimensional anchor, then Fariagni, who had escaped and returned, would definitely be more difficult to deal with.
But unfortunately, it was his own fault for not preparing the anti-dimensional anchor spell. What does it have to do with Fang Zheng?
However, Alastor did not notice that Fang Zheng's eyes became brighter and brighter as he heard his words.
Fariagni's own strength is indeed very average, but the "magic props" he uses are quite good. According to Alastor, this "hunter" is famous for using treasures. So it can be seen that he must have brought more than these treasures. Now this unlucky guy is finished, and I don't know if he can find some treasures in his lair... The "magic props" in this world seem to be quite useful. Maybe I can find some good things and take them back to Nymph as a gift.
That guy's lair...
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng silently performed a "Prophecy Peeping", then he turned his head and looked towards the shopping street not far away.
It's over there.
"…Hey, where are you going?"
Seeing Fang Zheng walking out of the school, Shana, who had finally fixed everything, was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fang Zheng and asked loudly. When Fang Zheng heard Shana's question, he answered without even turning his head.
"I'm going to that guy's lair to see if there's any treasure. It's not easy to win a battle, it would be a bummer if there's no spoils. If you don't mind, you can come with us."
"Who, who wants to go with you? I'm not interested!"
Hearing this, Shana's face immediately turned red, and then she shouted loudly. Fang Zheng did not react at all, but just waved his hand and walked along the street towards the shopping street.
The girl stood there blankly, watching Fang Zheng's back disappear. A moment later, Alastor's voice sounded again.
"Is this okay?"
"Of course, I have no interest in those treasures, Alastor, you know that..."
"All right."
In response to the girl's rebuttal, Alastor didn't say much, just responded and changed the subject.
"So, what do we do next?"
"What to do?"
"You came to this city to defeat the Red World, right? Now that Fariagni has been defeated, should we leave here and continue looking for the next prey?"
“…”
When the girl heard Alastor's question, she was stunned.
Originally, this was not a problem for her. Her life had been like this since she left Tiandao Palace, but this time, the girl felt hesitant for once.
"...Alastor."
"Hmm? What's up?"
"Am I... really that weak?"
In the past, Shana would never have such doubts. She always worked hard and seriously to eliminate every Red World person who appeared in front of her, and she won every time. This made Shana full of confidence in her own strength, but now, in Yuqi City, she saw obstacles in front of her for the first time. Whether it was the strange human named Fang Zheng or Fariagni, they were all unprecedentedly powerful enemies.
Especially Fang Zheng...
Thinking of this, Shana clenched her fists tightly. She still clearly remembered the feeling of powerlessness when she was fighting with the opponent, as if she was completely manipulated by the opponent. Not to mention, Fariagni, the terrifying king of the red world who almost killed her, was also killed by the opponent without any hesitation.
No, it should be said that it doesn't matter whether he is in this battle or not. To him, he is just a helper. More is more convenient, and less is just a little trouble. From the beginning, in his eyes, Fariagni is not a threat.
Shana certainly didn't know that Fang Zheng was so calm because he had the Soul Stone as a backup. In fact, Fang Zheng had already thought about it. If he couldn't win, he would just use his ultimate to summon Malthael to send him back home. So for Fang Zheng, it was just a choice of "killing the enemy with a basic attack" or "consuming NP to use the ultimate move".
This made Shana feel unwilling.
I am a Fire Mist Warrior, and a Fire Mist Warrior who has signed a contract with the God of Heavenly Punishment, Tianrang Jiehuo. How can she allow herself to leave at this time? If she does that, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting that I am inferior to the other party and that is why I have to run away?
What a joke!
"...I don't think you are weak, but it is also true that there are many strong people in this world. Especially that man, I advise you not to make an enemy of him."
"Alastor?"
Shana was also shocked to hear the warning from her contractor.
"Is Fang Zheng such a dangerous existence?"
"Yes, you saw it too, right? In the battle just now, he was able to forcibly expel the Red World Cultist from this world without killing him... You know what this means, right?"
"Wait, you mean..."
Hearing this, Shana's expression suddenly changed slightly.
"That's right. Whether we are the Crimson World or the Fire Mist Warriors, the essence of our staying in this world is the same. But that man can forcibly expel us from this world without killing us. Even if it's just for a moment, and once we are expelled, then..."
"...the party who signed the contract will be deemed to be non-existent, and then...the contract will be terminated..."
"That's right."
Alastor's voice became deeper and deeper.
"This man can be considered a natural enemy to both the Crimson World and the Fire Mist Warriors."
"I've decided! Alastor."
Hearing this, Shana raised her head and looked at the sky in front of her.
"I want to stay in this city for a while!"
"Is this okay?"
"I want to become stronger. Just as Fang Zheng said, I am too weak now. Even when facing a Red World King, I almost fell into his trap. I have always fought with Red World followers who are weaker than me, but this won't work. I want to become stronger, even stronger. I must let Fang Zheng know that I am not a stumbling block. I am a Fire Mist Warrior, a Fire Mist Warrior who fights against Red World followers! And, and..."
At this point, Shana couldn't help but blush slightly.
"He saved my life anyway. As a Fire Mist Warrior, I can't be ungrateful."
“…”
After hearing Shana's answer, Alastor was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.
"If you think this is okay, then let's do this... Shana."
