"Instead of Riddlers here, let's fast forward to the grand finale of Amphoreus."
Silver Wolf appeared beside Ye Yan, chewing on Lil' Twist Bubble Gum.
" The Iron Tomb's 'hatching day' is fast approaching. With the Astral Express's current strength, how can it possibly defeat it?"
"Is that even a question?" Ye Yan turned his head. "Of course, it's ' Eternity '."
Silver Wolf pondered, "So ' Eternity ' and ' Elation ' are the same—unpredictable ' Elation '... and ' Eternity ' that can scramble the ' Script '."
Tsk... can the Stellaron Hunters even continue playing? They're being targeted everywhere!
In Styxia, the Ancient City of Dragonbone," Cipher pushed open the gate and turned around to look behind her: "Yo! You've arrived? I've been waiting for you!"
That familiar black robe... there's no doubt, it's the guy known as the ' Flame Reaver '.
"Black-clad swordsman, Flame Reaver, whatever your name is..."
Cipher clicked her tongue, "You really are like a starving hyena... following the scent of Core Flame!"
The Flame Reaver did not respond.
"Not going to talk? Or are you just too lazy to talk? Or are you really like a stupid dog, unable to understand human speech?"
After a barrage of questions from Cipher, the Flame Reaver spoke, a rare occurrence for him:
" The Worldbearing... the Core Flame..."
"We must... take it back..." He suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
Cipher shook her head, "Hehe~ Poor thing, I've figured you out!"
"Let me guess—you've actually been eyeing those last two Core Flame all along, haven't you?"
"It's a pity you have neither wings nor companions... So, even though Aegle's Core Flame was placed in the sky, it went nowhere—"
"You can only wait helplessly for the Chrysos Heirs to bring the Core Flame back to Earth, and then seize it by brute force... right?"
Seeing the Flame Reaver remained silent, Cipher couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, I hit a nerve, didn't I!"
"Several times, I've watched you from afar, standing on the edge of a cliff, helplessly gazing up at the sky at a 45-degree angle... The sight was truly heartbreaking!"
"To show you some care, this lonely old dog, I've prepared a very special gift for you today..."
Cipher stepped forward, "... That's right! The Core Flame of Kephale resides within me."
"But if you want to snatch it from the cat... try to catch up with her!"
Cipher gave a wicked smile, activated her " Flipping Coin " ability, and instantly disappeared from the spot.
Fun fact! Dolos ' cats are not only incredibly fast... their stamina is also phenomenal!
The ' Flame Reaver ' stared in the direction Cipher had gone, and after confirming that she had really run far away, he let out a cold snort.
"Sigh~ Cats these days... they really talk a lot."
"I can't help but say that, "Blake said helplessly behind his mask, but he always maintained the professionalism of an actor and was determined to act to the end.
call out!
The black-robed figure followed closely behind the " Trickery " divine authority, and without much effort, he arrived in front of Cipher, who had already run some distance.
"Ouch!" Seeing the ' Flame Reaver ' suddenly appear, Cipher quickly slammed on the brakes. "How... how did you get ahead of me?!"
She feigned surprise, while the ' Flame Reaver ' brandished his longsword, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Don't cut me! No!"
Cipher speed, immediately conjuring up the " Worldbearing " Core Flame imprinted with " Worldbearing ":
"You just want the Core Flame of the Kephale, right? Here, take it! That World-Saving kid made me steal it; it's useless to me!"
"Since, uh... since we both like wearing black... please spare the poor cat's life?"
The Flame Reaver sighed, Cipher continued to beg for mercy, "Yes, yes, that's it! Take the Core Flame; I'll spare your life..."
"Fire... seed..."
The Flame Reaver reached out to the " Worldbearing " Core Flame, but to his surprise, the moment he touched it, the Core Flame Worldbearing into a cold porcelain jar.
"... Hahaha! It really is an incredibly stupid stray dog!"
Cipher deliberately imitated a dog's bark. "Woof, woof! Come on, the bone that was thrown right at your mouth flew away, you're not going to give up so easily, are you?"
That being said, after witnessing the incredible speed of the ' Flame Reaver,' Cipher did have some reservations.
Aside from Xing, who also possesses the incredible speed of " Flipping Coin," this is the first time she's been caught up...
Despite her thoughts, Cipher certainly couldn't reveal these concerns. She turned around and continued to mock the ' Flame Reaver ':
"I haven't run this hard in ages! You need to keep going for a little longer, at least let me warm up!"
"Creation..." the Flame Reaver repeated, "Must..."
"You're stammering, but you're running pretty fast! I need to speed up, or I'll lose you!"
A flash of lightning, Cipher sat on the floating platform, reaching a higher position. "Ha... perfect timing to stop and rest."
She glanced back warily and spotted the ' Flame Reaver ': "What? He's still not here? How disappointing."
At that moment, Cipher had a sudden inspiration and a brilliant idea came to her mind. A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips, "In that case, I'll..."
Bang!
As the white mist dissipated and Cipher left the stage, her successor appeared—" Ciphainon "!
"... I'll wait for you a little longer!"
A few minutes later, the ' Flame Reaver ' arrived. ' Ciphainon ' was standing with his back to him, examining the ' Worldbearing ' Core Flame before him.
"So beautiful, Styxia! Oh my, isn't that the Flame Reaver?"
" Ciphainon " turned around and greeted " Flame Reaver ".
"Nice to meet you... oh no, it's been many times! I am the great hero of Okhema, the Savior of Amphoreus!"
"They all say I'm destined to return the Core Flame to Kephale, and then become a great hero who shoulders the weight of heaven and earth in the new world..."
"However, my defining characteristic is fairness, fairness, and * Dolos's profanity* of fairness!"
Blake's lips twitched slightly beneath the mask. "What's with this automatic mute feature?"
"You want the Core Flame? Then come and take it! On the condition that you defeat me fair and square first!"
The Flame Reaver ignored Ciphainon and flashed onto the floating platform, just about to take the " Worldbearing " Core Flame...
Upon detecting a living creature, the floating platform mechanism was automatically triggered, and he was thus carried down by the platform.
"Ugh, so boring... I'm really getting into acting. I was hoping you could play with me for a little while."
" Ciphainon " shook her head and transformed back into Cipher.
"A stupid dog is a stupid dog; it actually fell for the same trick twice..."
"... Bye-bye, Flame Reaver!"
"Sigh~ It's not as fun as I imagined... After all, the other person is an irrational madman, not good at games of scheming and intrigue."
"But... is it really impossible to get rid of it? This is absurd."
Cipher carefully considered her next move, "That guy definitely won't give up so easily, so..."
"... Let's guide it to higher ground?"
