The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

"continue."

Kevin turned around: "The next stop is the battle against the Herrscher of Fire. I also asked Klein to make adjustments - be mentally prepared, it will be even more tragic than the Herrscher of Death. [Hell].”

70. Only when you have a sense of involvement can you feel the emotion

Pre-civilizations tried many methods to fight against the Herrschers.

For example, building a super robot, or building a huge mechanical armor... As long as the Herrscher and Honkai can be defeated, almost all plans have been proposed.

In the end, [Fusion Warrior] was determined to be the most effective plan.

What caused this plan to be taken seriously was the seventh collapse of the previous civilization.

.......

Australia.

civilized Australia.

"Crack, crackle, crackle..."

When Alexia appeared here, the first thing she saw was the blazing sea of ​​fire. No matter it was on the left or the right, there were only flames everywhere. The jumping fireworks made up the whole world, even if she was in the flames. The building has been burned to the ground, but the flames are still beating forever.

A scorching heat wave hit her face, making Alexia, whose body had been cold all year round, feel a surge of heat.

The whole world was dyed fiery red by the flames.

Standing in the endless flames, Exia subconsciously raised her foot and stepped on the ground——

"call--------!"

The extremely cold air vented from his feet, and the surging zero-degree wave swept in all directions in an instant, extinguishing all the flames around Ixia, and suddenly cleared an ice-colored snowfield like the depth of winter.

It's much more comfortable this way.

only......

"We have already spread the freezing range to two kilometers away, but we can still see the fire?" Looking at the horizon that had not changed at all in the distance, Alexia frowned slightly and looked to her side: "Kevin, you - —Huh? Where are the Kevins?"

Just like when he met Aponya before, there was no one else around Alexia. Kevin, who was supposed to come with him, was nowhere to be seen now.

(Same trick again?)

Alexia frowned fiercely.

It doesn’t matter that Alysia did it deliberately on Aponya’s part. What trick is Kevin doing this time?

"I am right beside you."

Suddenly, Kevin's voice sounded in Alexia's ears, startling her: "Are you there? Where are you?"

"Klein's adjustment prevents you from seeing me - unlike just now, I hope you can experience this experience of the Seventh Herrscher from my perspective. Therefore, I asked Klein to make changes to the memory space. Special adjustments are made to make it a situation where you are the main experiencer.”

"...Why is this?"

“Be there.”

You may be able to understand some things if you just watch from the sidelines, but you cannot truly empathize with them. Only by truly immersing yourself in the situation at that time can you have the deepest understanding of the mood of the person involved.

Alexia sighed helplessly: "Huh~~~Okay, you can arrange it this way. I just hope you can tell me next time... In other words, the time corresponding to this situation now Duan is?"

"One week after the appearance of the Seventh Herrscher."

Kevin said.

"The Fire Chaser has suffered several disastrous defeats when facing Herrschers, but the destruction of Australia caused by the Seventh Herrscher was the first time. She has a destructive power that is not at the same level as all previous Herrschers. In a week, It burned down the entire Australia within a short period of time. If Australia were not far away from the Mu Continent, I am afraid that even the Mu Continent would have been attacked."

"During this week, the Fire Chasing Moth launched several attacks on it, but due to the huge disparity in power, the Fire Chasing Moth suffered heavy losses. In order to fight against the Seventh Herrscher, Mei proposed the Fusion Warrior Plan, and I also became the first experimenter... As you know what happened later, I defeated the Seventh Herrscher alone and ended the Seventh Collapse."

"Your current identity is that of me who just finished the operation and was thrown into the frontal battlefield."

Will you experience the seventh collapse as Kevin?

Alexia took out the [Victory Royal Power]: "You mean, you want me to experience fighting the Herrscher of Fire for myself? So that I can be prepared when I face the real Herrscher of Fire. ?”

"You can say that, but...for more, you can confirm it with your own eyes."

After saying this, Kevin's voice fell completely silent, as if he had unilaterally terminated contact, or in other words, he was silent.

And Aixia started to think deeply again.

He didn't think Kevin just wanted to let him know what he just said - if Ixia guessed correctly, Kevin should have wanted to tell him something other than the battle through these three Herrscher battles. , to improve his attitude towards the Lawyer.

This is what the Herrscher of Death experienced just now.

This incident with the Herrscher of Fire...should be the same.

(What do you want to tell me this time, Kevin?)

Alexia thought so.

Then——

"boom----------!"

Without warning, a deafening explosion exploded from not far away!

The scorching flames rise into the sky like a fountain! The extremely hot heat wave hit quickly! The flame wind that seemed to be about to burn something suddenly blew over the place where Exia was, and the frozen field he had just created was submerged and covered in an instant!

Ice melts at extremely high temperatures.

The snowfield recedes in the hot wind.

A scorching sun appeared directly in Alexia's field of vision!

As if the sun had fallen to the earth and spread disaster while walking on the earth, the high-energy heat source with an incalculable core temperature approached Ixia from far to near, burning the surface of his skin extremely red! Even though they were still nearly a kilometer away visually, Ixia felt like her whole body was about to be roasted!

“Tsk~~~~”

Maximum air conditioning output.

A layer of icy blue halo quietly appeared on the surface of Ixia's body, and further spread to the surroundings, resisting the rolling heat wave and strong wind!

Ice blue and fiery red.

The world seemed to be occupied by these two colors, split into two completely different parts.

"Drink————!"

Alexia suddenly let out an angry roar, and the cold air lingering around him immediately turned into a stormy wave and burst out again!

The heat wave that was still suppressing Exia was like a collapsed sand dune under the burst of cold air, collapsing unstoppably toward the rear! Because of the heat wave and the sharply rising temperature, the surrounding area immediately dropped to below zero like falling off a cliff!

"oh?"

A female voice sounded from the extremely hot light source.

"It can actually suppress my power... Even the power I released unconsciously is enough to burn fragile humans to ashes - hahaha, is it possible that I finally have some countermeasures? Moth chasing the fire.”

Click, click, click - the sound of high heels stepping on the ground accompanied by the approach of the light source.

Alexia couldn't help but stare straight ahead.

Kevin said that he was put on a frontal battlefield, which means that the person speaking at this moment is...

"Then, let me have a good experience of what kind of [secret weapon] Fire Chasing Moth has prepared to deal with me."

As the owner of the voice said this, his body also stepped into the extremely cold ice field under Exia.

And the moment she stepped into this ice field, Exia froze on the spot! His eyes widened uncontrollably! It was like seeing an incredible sight!

"You...you are...no, how is this possible?" Alexia, covering her face with disbelief on her face, staggered back a few steps: "How, how could it be possible? It's you......"

"Oh? I didn't expect it to be you again. I thought you would never appear in front of me."

The Herrscher of Flame also seemed to recognize Ixia, with a different meaning on his face: "However, if you will come in front of me again, that means you already have the secret to defeat me, right? ?[Kevin].”

"How could it be you..."

Alexia revealed the identity of the [Hersler of Fire] in front of her in a gloomy tone.

"--【master】?!"

71. Kill or save?

Can't go wrong.

There was absolutely no way that Alexia could be mistaken. The person who appeared in front of her was clearly Fu Hua! He could never mistake his master's appearance!

but why?

If Hua in the pre-civilization period was a lawyer, then how did she—

"Calm down, Alexia. That's not Hua."

Kevin's voice came again.

"I said, this time you are going through the Seventh Collapse from my perspective. In the Seventh Collapse, the identity of the Herrscher of Flame is a person I respect very much in the Fire Chaser Moth. Your senior, Himihu. Under Klein's adjustment, Himihu's image will transform into a [respected senior] for you - it seems that Hua does have such weight in your heart."

"Kevin! You-!"

Alexia suddenly had the urge to scold Kevin!

What exactly is this adjustment—

"——!"

The thought that flashed through her heart made Alexia's brain react suddenly!

Immediately afterwards, Alexia gritted her teeth tightly and asked: "...I see, is this what you are going to tell me this time? Kevin. The Herrscher of Death incident made me understand my The risks brought by the concept, and this time, Herrscher of Fire, what you want me to face is... Do the people around me really become Herrschers?"

"That's right."

Kevin answered in a heavy tone.

"Himiko became the Herrscher, which was something that no one expected at the time. And because of this situation, Fire Chaser Moth's previous speculations about the Herrscher's appearance were all overturned... But this It doesn’t matter, for us on the front lines, this situation means [former friends have become enemies].”

"Himihu is the senior in the Fire Chaser Moth. She has led many soldiers and has won the trust of the Fire Chaser Moth soldiers. The fact that she became a Herrscher has caused extremely serious morale to the Fire Chaser Moth. The blow caused many warriors to lose their will to fight... Coupled with the destructive power of the Herrscher of Fire, the reason why I was the only one to defeat the Herrscher of Fire was largely because I was the only one A man who made a choice."

Yes, Kevin made a choice.

When everyone was unable to fight, Kevin, as the strongest soldier, stood up and killed Himihu with his own hands - killing his past friends and predecessors.

Now, it's Exia's turn to make a decision.

Klein's adjustment made Himihu transform into Fu Hua, which means that Fu Hua means as much to Axia as Himihu does to Kevin.

"Make your choice, Exia."

"Standing in front of you is a friend who wants to destroy the world. The only way to stop her is to kill her, and you are the only one who can do it. In this case, let me see your options Bar."

After saying this, Kevin silenced his voice again.

at the same time--

"boom--------!"

As if she couldn't wait any longer, the Herrscher of Flame who looked like [Fu Hua] waved her hands, and extremely violent flames suddenly shot out from her hands, like a ferocious beast that wanted to swallow up everything, and attacked Ai with great momentum. Ksia!

The space visible to the eyeballs was immediately occupied by flames.

Even in the sub-zero ice field, Exia felt the heat again. Wherever the flames passed, the frozen land was ignited and burned again.

Looking at the approaching flames that kept zooming in and out of sight, no one, including Exia, would doubt the consequences of being hit.

【die】

There is no need for any doubt that it is almost impossible for the Herrscher of Fire's blow to be followed without any damage.

Exia, who was standing there, held the [Victory Royal Power] tightly, staring directly at the [Fu Hua] wrapped in blazing flames with her eyes across the flames.

(I didn’t expect... to face the situation I imagined in this way.)

Make enemies of people you know well.

It's not that Alexia hasn't thought about this situation. She had already thought about it when she was talking to Kiana about the Second Herrscher before - what if Kiana really became someone who wanted to destroy her? The second Herrscher of the world, then it is up to him to defeat her.

This is his duty as an elder brother.

It's just...he never thought that such a day would really come to pass. No matter how many times you have predicted it, as long as it is a situation that you do not expect, then when that situation comes, people will definitely be more or less at a loss.

Likewise, Exia doesn't want to face a situation where she needs to wield a weapon against her family.

but--
