How Does It Taste?

At this moment, Fariagani had lost all thought; his mind went completely blank.

"Dead?"

"Dead?"

"Dead?"

"Dead?"

As if he had fallen into a state of mental derangement, or like a malfunctioning doll, Fariagani kept repeating the word, his expression dazed the entire time.

"No... no..."

Immediately, as if unwilling to admit the truth, Fariagani's once incredibly handsome face displayed an extremely empty smile.

"My Marian can't just die like this..."

"It can definitely be repaired..."

"It definitely can..."

As he said this, Fariagani continuously extracted the Power of Existence, transforming it into pale white flames, which he then spat onto Marian.

However, under the burning flames, Marian never recovered, remaining completely unresponsive like a broken doll.

"No... no..."

As Fariagani spoke in a trembling voice, he continued to channel his Power of Existence into Marian.

As a result, not only did Marian fail to recover, but Fariagani herself also began to dissipate into pale white flames due to the lack of her Power of Existence.

Crimson Realm Denizens are also beings that require the Power of Existence to manifest in this world.

If one lacks the Power of Existence, yet insists on remaining in this world, the ultimate result will naturally be like a candle flickering in the wind, simply vanishing.

Now, Fariagani is disregarding his own existence and desperately giving his Power of Existence to Marian.

That scene was so moving that it made one want to feel sorry for the person who witnessed it.

Unfortunately, Fang Li wouldn't sympathize.

It wasn't just because Fang Li was already numb to death and felt nothing for it, but also because Fang Li clearly knew that this was Fariagani's just punishment for his sins.

In order to make Marian a real being, this Crimson King devoured a large number of humans in Misaki City and planned to use the entire Misaki City as a sacrifice to transform it into a massive Power of Existence to achieve this goal.

Therefore, Fariagani has absolutely nothing to sympathize with.

Fariagani's subsequent performance proved this point as well.

"It must be because the Power of Existence is insufficient... it must be..."

Fariagani held Marian tightly, as if grasping at a last straw, and murmured in a dreamlike voice.

"It's okay... it's okay... there's still plenty of food in this city... plenty... we can just eat it all... all of it..."

With that, Fariagani prepared to fly out of the Sealed Heaven area.

However, Fariagani seemed to have forgotten that he wasn't alone there.

"Pfft—!"

With the sound of flesh being pierced, the pure white Pure Star Imperial Armament pierced into the back of Fariagani, who was lying on the ground, pinning him there.

Pale white flames, representing blood, shot out and scattered in all directions.

"Aaaaaaaahh...

Fariagani let out a painful howl.

Looking at Fariagani like this, Fang Li's expression was so calm that it seemed indifferent. He simply squatted down and took out items from Fariagani's body one by one.

There is a glass rattle.

There is a deep blue ring.

There is a revolver.

There are gold coins.

In addition to these, there are all sorts of other items.

These are all Fariagani's Treasure Tool.

Witnessing this scene, Fariagani stared intently at Fang Li with eyes wide with rage, the pale white flames on his body surging violently as if engulfed in a rage.

"You... you... bastard..."

Those were words filled with unprecedented anger.

Fang Li merely sneered at this, saying, "Didn't you want to kill me and then steal the Reiji Maigo?"

"Now, I'll give him a taste of his own medicine. How does it feel, Crimson World Demon Lord?"

Fariagani's body trembled again.

This time, however, it wasn't out of grief, but out of anger.

"Humans... humans... humans...!"

Fang Li smiled wryly as he listened to Fariagani's angry shouts.

"That's right, I am human," Fang Li said calmly. "Humans that you've always considered food."

After saying that, Fang Li reached out and pulled Bō Xié off Fariagani's body.

The pale white flames reignited on Fariagani's wound.

"That's it, Fariagani."

Fang Li raised Bō Xié in his hand.

Seeing the lightsaber that had caused the previous terrifying blow raised towards him, Fariagani finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted out.

"Shudenan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a murky ball of purple flame fell from mid-air.

"————!"

Fang Li turned around forcefully and stretched out a hand towards the ball of fire falling on him.

In that hand, he held the Ring of Annealing that he had just stripped from Fariagani's body—"Azure".

"Zheng—!"

The finely crafted ring immediately shone.

Under the radiance, a barrier immediately appeared around Fang Li.

The purple flames that fell from the sky landed heavily on the barrier.

"Bang—!"

As the explosion rang out, a murky purple wave of fire began to surge, engulfing the surrounding area.

Only the barrier at the epicenter of the explosion remained intact, firmly protecting the user.

Fang Li, who was activating the fire-repelling effect of the Azure Ring, raised his head and looked up at the sky. His pupils suddenly contracted.

In mid-air, a ferocious beast resembling a chimera hovered, flapping its bat-like wings.

It was none other than Shudenan.

Of course, what made Fang Li's pupils shrink sharply was not the appearance of Shudenan, but the petite girl tightly gripped by one of his eagle-claw-like claws.

Who else could it be but Shana?

"Hmm..."

Shana let out a muffled groan as her petite body was tightly gripped by Shudenan's eagle-claw-like claws, leaving her covered in wounds.

Seeing this, how could Fang Li not understand what had happened?

Shana was defeated.

He was Shudenan.

"Tsk..." Shudenan turned his Beast Eyes and looked at Fariagani, who was barely breathing at Fang Li's feet, and clicked his tongue.

"I had a bad feeling when I saw that giant sword. It seems that we have suffered a complete defeat here."

Anyone could hear the immense sense of shame in Shudenan's words.

That's the feeling of defeat caused by the inability to complete the task.

Fariagani, however, added fuel to the fire of this sense of defeat.

A fire that could be described as raging.

"Kill this human! Shudenan!"

Fariagani shouted through gritted teeth.

"This human has Reiji Maigo within him!"
