Competition Between Hunters

"Laugh----!"

A cold, sharp blade flashed through the air, moving at a terrifying speed that no ordinary person could perceive, like a streak of light, slicing through a person's body.

"Bang—!"

The person cut by the blade immediately burst into flames, like a candle flame that had burned out, gradually extinguishing until it turned into a wisp of fire and disappeared into the air.

"Call..."

Fang Li walked down the street where no one had noticed what was happening. He let out a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky.

By this time, it was getting dark.

In other words, Fang Li has been working all day since morning, eliminating the torches.

"Just how many torches were eliminated?"

Fang Li already too many squares.

All that is known is that at the beginning, the torches that were eliminated were on the verge of going out, but from some point onwards, the flames of the torches that Fang Li eliminated became slightly larger.

When it came to that torchbearer, the Power of Existence within him had only just dissipated to the point where it was enough to make him lose his will and become a walking corpse.

It's easy to imagine how many torches Fang Li eliminated.

"But Fariagani just won't show up. Is he afraid?"

That's the impossible thing.

The opponent is one of the top five Demon Lord in modern times, and also possesses numerous Treasure Tool.

The opponent, however, is merely a human, yet possesses a secret treasure coveted by the Crimson Realm Denizens.

Under such circumstances, Fariagani would absolutely not abandon his entire plan because of his fear of a human.

"So, does that mean the other party is still observing?"

Fang Li pondered.

This is not surprising.

Since Fariagani prides himself on cunning and wisdom, he will not act rashly.

Otherwise, Fang Li wouldn't have needed to use the Reiji Maigo to lure Fariagani into losing his mind.

Now, Fariagani is probably on high alert, and even though the torches he set up have been eliminated by Fang Li, he still doesn't dare to make any rash moves.

Is this because Fang Li possesses the Reiji Maigo, which can make up for this loss?

Otherwise, with the plan to City Devour disrupted by others, even if Fariagani were the most composed, he couldn't just keep watching from the shadows forever.

"Wouldn't it be great if we could find him on our own?"

Thinking about this, Fang Li couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Fang Li used the Reiji Maigo as an indicator and used special items to enter the world of "Shakugan no Shana" in order to expand his own advantage.

"But unexpectedly, Fariagani happened."

If Fang Li knew he would be facing this "The Hunter" as soon as he arrived, Fang Li would have exchanged some exploration and reconnaissance items in the Main God Space.

"What a blunder..."

Actually, Fang Li can't be blamed for this.

After all, Fang Li had been exposed to "Shakugan no Shana" earlier than "Aria of the Scarlet Ammo," and had long forgotten many of the plot points.

If it weren't for the large number of torches triggering Fang Li's memories, Fang Li wouldn't even remember anything about Fariagani.

"Never mind." Fang Li patted his cheek.

"Anyway, they'll come knocking on our door sooner or later, so let's just wait patiently."

That's what they say, but Fang Li also hopes to resolve the Fariagani as soon as possible.

That's because the sooner you complete the Main Quest issued by the Main God Space, the higher your rating will be when you clear the game.

Conversely, if the process drags on for too long, the completion rating will be lowered accordingly. If the Main God Space determines that the Main God Envoy is unable to complete the Main Quest, the Main Quest will be declared a failure, and Exchange Points will be deducted.

With the plot guiding the way, Fang Li naturally hoped to complete the Main Quest as soon as possible.

From this perspective, Fariagani was indeed an excellent prey.

Once you defeat him and obtain his numerous Treasure Tool, you can complete both the first and second Main Mission One in the Fang Li, killing Main Mission Two.

That's why Fang Li was so obsessed with Fariagani, his prey.

"I see Fariagani as prey, and Fariagani sees me as prey. Isn't this a competition between the Hunter?"

Fang Li smiled wryly.

"Let's see who becomes the Hunter and who becomes the prey in the end."

After leaving those words behind, Fang Li turned around and prepared to go home.

However, at that moment, shouts came from a small stall nearby.

"Pineapple buns! Pineapple buns! Freshly baked pineapple buns!"

Fang Li stopped abruptly, a slight smile playing on his lips. He then turned and walked toward the stall from which the shouts were coming from.

In the dimly lit room, with a "click" of the switch being turned on, the light came on and illuminated the entire room.

Fang Li sat down at the low table, opened the bag in his hand, and poured out its contents.

Immediately, freshly baked pineapple buns poured out one after another, filling the entire tabletop in no time.

There must be at least a dozen of them.

Fang Li then opened the packaging bag of one of the pineapple buns.

The fragrance immediately wafted out of the bag.

"Gurgle..."

The next second, a somewhat subtle sound rang out from the direction of the balcony.

It sounds like swallowing saliva, or like a stomach rumbling, or perhaps both.

A Mind's Eye smile involuntarily crept onto Fang Li's face.

If Sylvia were here, she would surely notice that this smile is the same one she makes when she's planning to tease Fang Li.

The saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black," Fang Li was also corrupted by that world's number one songstress.

So, Fang Li started eating the pineapple bun in his hand.

After finishing one, Fang Li picked up another.

And so, the pineapple buns on the table gradually decreased.

On the balcony, the air seemed to become somewhat restless as the number of pineapple buns decreased.

When Fang Li reached out for the fourth pineapple bun, the other person finally couldn't resist anymore.

"Stop it!"

With that sharp shout, the curtains and windows on the balcony were forcefully opened.

Fang Li immediately stopped, a triumphant look gradually appearing in his eyes.

In Fang Li's view, the other party was also about to lose their temper and would probably barge in regardless of their reserve.

However, as Fang Li was thinking this, outside on the balcony, a girl dressed in black glared at Fang Li and shouted these words.

"You have absolutely no idea how to eat a pineapple bun! You're practically ruining it!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Li's hand slipped, and he almost fell.
