Make Everything Clear

"————"

The sudden sound froze Shana in place, rendering her completely immobile.

However, contrary to her outward appearance, Shana's heart trembled even more frequently, as if on the verge of collapse, her wavering barely concealed.

Under these circumstances, a figure slowly descended from mid-air and appeared in front of Shana.

Her figure was even more precarious than Shana's heart, as if she might collapse at any moment. She clutched her chest and almost knelt on the ground.

Seeing Fang Li like this, Shana finally showed a hint of reluctance in her eyes and couldn't help but speak up.

"What... what are you trying to prove? Why did you chase after me in this state?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Li merely glanced at Shana, as if the weakness in his body and soul did not exist at all, and said this nonchalantly.

"I'm truly sorry, but humans are creatures that suddenly become strong when there's no need for it. You, who were once human, should understand that, right?"

Hearing Fang Li's nonchalant words, Shana felt an uncontrollable surge of anger welling up Fang Li.

Driven by her anger, Shana lowered her head, as if suppressing something, and spoke in a low voice.

"Are you so eager to leave?"

Clearly, in Shana's view, the reason Fang Li chased after her despite his physical condition was that he hoped to solidify the matter completely.

The thought of this made Shana feel an urge to run away as far away as possible.

(How annoying...)

It's really annoying.

However, compared to feeling disgusted, Shana felt more afraid.

Fear of what will happen next.

Therefore, Shana rarely uttered such a somewhat weak statement.

However, Fang Li did not answer this question. Instead, he looked directly at Shana and said, "The reason I followed you here is simply to make everything clear."

(I don't want to hear this!)

(I don't want to hear this!)

(I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!)

Shana kept shouting in her heart, trying to dispel the fear in her heart.

To Shana's surprise, Fang Li's first words were not about her need to leave.

Fang Li suddenly said this in front of Shana.

"The world is about to undergo tremendous changes."

Such an abrupt statement, which could be described as extremely unexpected, suddenly came out of Fang Li's mouth, leaving Shana stunned on the spot.

On the contrary, Alastor's thunderous voice came from the pendant in front of Shana.

"Do you mean a ' Bal Masqué '?"

Now, it's clear to everyone that this large apostle group led by the Three Pillars is about to make some big moves.

This major operation revolves around the Reiji Maigo.

Therefore, the Three Pillars went to great lengths to obtain the Reiji Maigo from Fang Li, in order to prepare for their upcoming big move.

This is not an exaggeration.

Judging from the signs so far, that "Bal Masqué" is indeed preparing to do something big.

Otherwise, Shudenan wouldn't have given up his long-standing idleness and dissipation to return to the Starry Sky Palace, the Great Miko Hecate, who had been hiding in the Starry Sky Palace, wouldn't have suddenly come out to make a move, and Belphegor ran the entire "Bal Masqué," wouldn't have made such a fuss over a mere Treasure Tool, ultimately causing the entire Starry Sky Palace to fall into chaos.

Furthermore, since the Reiji Maigo is a Noble Treasure Tool closely related to the Power of Existence, and Crimson Realm Denizens cannot exert their power without the Power of Existence, it is not surprising that the other party would make any big moves since acquiring the Reiji Maigo has become necessary.

The "Bal Masqué" is a large group of apostles capable of rivaling all Flame Haze Warrior.

Given this, when it comes to major changes in the world, Alastor naturally thinks of "Bal Masqué" first.

This idea cannot be said to be wrong.

"At the very least, it's certain that the ' Bal Masqué ' led by the Three Pillars will commence some kind of activity."

Fang Li looked directly at Shana and said this to the stunned girl.

"And facing this major change that is about to happen, Shana, what do you think we are capable of achieving with our strength?"

These words caused Shana's youthful face to change slightly.

Before Shana could answer, Fang Li said mercilessly, "You saw it a week ago in the battle at the Starry Sky Palace. If the Three Pillars were to unleash their full strength, they would be terrifying. If it weren't for Alastor's appearance, we wouldn't have been able to escape at all."

"And those were just the Three Pillars. In the ' Bal Masqué,' there were countless powerful Demon Lord, and even more Crimson World Apostles." Fang Li said in a tone that was almost accusatory, "If they are targeting us directly, what can the two of us do?"

The unexpectedly sharp topic finally calmed down Shana's wavering heart.

Because this topic alone was enough to make Shana has a strong sense of mission, switch into Flame Haze Warrior mode.

After a moment of silence, Shana met Fang Li's gaze and said, "Are you saying that our strength is not enough?"

Fang Li nodded.

That goes without saying.

Putting aside everything else, just considering the Three Pillars, they are at the Third Level.

Fang Li and Shana, however, were only at the Fourth Level.

Take Fang Li for example. If it weren't for his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, let alone the Three Pillars, even Sabrac could have taken his life instantly.

"Therefore, in order to have the power to control our own destiny in the great changes to come, none of us can continue to be complacent."

Fang Li looked at Shana and slowly spoke.

"I need to improve my skills, so I must leave here and grow in my own way."

"You also need to hone your skills, fully unleash the power of the God of Heavenly Punishment within you, and become a true ' Crimson-Eyed Flame-Haired Killer.'"

"Otherwise, even if we stay together now, we'll still break up sooner or later."

"And forever."

Each word was like a sharp sword, piercing Shana's heart.

This time, Shana was speechless. She could only lower her head, her eyes constantly shifting.

Fang Li didn't say anything more, but simply raised his head and looked up at the sky, at the scorching horizon.

Time slips away quietly like this.

Until night fell.
