To some extent, there wasn't much difference between a Red Disciple and a Firemist Warrior. If there was any difference, it was that a Red Disciple needed a lot of Power of Existence to ensure that he could survive in this world. The Red Demon King would form a contract with the Firemist Warrior. The Firemist Warrior would dedicate everything that belonged to him in the "past, present and future" to the Red Demon King. In response, the Red Demon King would inject its powerful power into the Firemist Warrior's body, allowing them to use the powerful power that originally belonged to the Red Demon King.
From a certain point of view, the relationship between the Firemist Warrior and the Red Demon King was somewhat similar to the Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beast in Naruto. But compared to the forced seal, the Red Demon King was more willing to seal and sleep in the Firemist Warrior's body. Because their power was too strong, once it exploded, the Firemist Warrior that could not withstand this power would instantly turn into ashes.
The gun in Faliagni's hand was the noble phantasm that broke the seal and forced the awakening of the Red Demon King.
He was sure that as long as he hit the Firemist Warrior in front of him, he could make the powerful Red Demon King, Alastor, appear in this world. And the girl in front of him would be destroyed because she could not withstand that powerful power. After that, in order to avoid his appearance affecting the modern world, Alastor would also leave.
As long as he seized this moment, he could launch his plan and resurrect Mary!!
But …
"Clang!!"
The bullet didn't hit Shana's body as Faliagni believed it would. On the contrary, just before the bullet was about to hit the girl, a transparent eggshell-like barrier suddenly appeared and wrapped the girl in it. The bullet shot from the noble phantasm hit the barrier and bounced off, completely dispelling Faliagni's last hope.
"Phew … I finally made it."
At this moment, behind Shana, Fangzheng also put down his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't know what the gun was, but Fangzheng's "Futuristic Vision" clearly saw that in three seconds, Shana would be shot by the gun, and then there would be a huge explosion. Although he didn't know what it was, he was sure that it was definitely not something good.
Fortunately, as a Paladin, Fangzheng had a good habit of always having invincibility in his hands. Seeing that things weren't looking good, he hurriedly made a move. Fortunately, he managed to make it in time.
In the future, when I have enough Dimension Points, I'll definitely upgrade this Royal Cross Swordsmanship to a fixed skill. Not to mention anything else, invincibility is really useful … … at least it's a form of insurance.
"I won't admit defeat like this!"
At that moment, Faliagni snarled, threw away the revolver in his hand with his remaining right hand, picked up the bell that fell to the ground, and swung it forcefully.
Clang!!
At this moment, a series of bells rang, like a sound wave spreading in all directions. Hearing this sound, Fangzheng and Shana's expression changed slightly, and they stopped in their tracks. Because just now, they felt the atmosphere around them suddenly change!
It was a very strange feeling. It was indescribable, but it was very oppressive. It was like the feeling before an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, or a tsunami. People might not be able to detect anything, but they could instinctively sense the crisis in the dark. And now, that was what Fangzheng and Shana sensed.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, with Faliagni as the center, the greenish-white flame erupted again, forming a huge tornado that went straight into the sky. Even Fangzheng and Shana couldn't resist the strong airflow that rushed towards them. They retreated awkwardly. The other things on the field, along with the humans, were swept into the air and then mercilessly torn apart and blown away.
"What's going on?"
"Faliagni is absorbing a lot of the Power of Existence!"
"That's impossible, he's absorbing it too fast! Even the Red Demon King can't absorb the Power of Existence so fast! "
Hearing Alastor's answer, Shana's eyes immediately widened in surprise and she shouted loudly. The Disciples of the Red World needed to devour the Power of Existence, but the Power of Existence also needed to be digested. For example, the process of them absorbing the Power of Existence from humans was more like cooking a piece of food, processing it, and eating it in the stomach before it could be digested. This was also the reason why the Red World Devil King had sent Phosphorus to collect the Power of Existence on their behalf. Phosphorus was like a chef. They needed to absorb the Power of Existence of humans and then process it. Only then would the Red World Devil King be able to absorb the Power of Existence.
But … there was a limit to everything! Even the Red World Demon King would not be able to absorb the Power of Existence so quickly!
But soon, Alastor gave her the answer.
"He's not absorbing the Power of Existence from humans, he's absorbing it from the Torch!!"
"What?"
Shana was shocked when she heard this. If it was a torch, then it was easy to understand why it could absorb the Power of Existence so quickly. After all, the torch was a remnant of a human whose Power of Existence had been absorbed by a disciple of the Red World in order to prevent the Flame Mist Warriors from discovering it and to prevent too much distortion in the real world. It was more like a walking corpse without a will.
If it was the Torch, the Red Demon King could easily absorb it at any time as long as he wanted to. But the problem was …
"How many Torches has he made? What is he trying to do?! "
Shana gritted her teeth when she felt the huge Power of Existence gathering around Faliagni. This had far exceeded the "normal" intake of the Red Demon King, which meant that there were probably thousands or more humans who had been turned into "Torches" by him!
"This number … Is he going to activate and devour the city?!"
"What's that?"
Hearing Alastor's words, Fangzheng turned his head to look at Shana curiously. He originally wanted to pull that bastard out of the tornado and kill him. But soon, Fangzheng helplessly found that the strong storm composed of the Power of Existence was like a whirlpool in the sea. It was simply unstoppable. This was a barrier formed by pure power. Even if he relied on spells like 'Dispel Magic', it would be useless. Moreover, due to the power disrupting space, Fangzheng was unable to use teleportation …. Now, he could only see if the real Mist Warrior had any good ideas.
"That's a very evil secret method!"
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Alastor hurriedly explained to him.
"You should know that after the Disciples of the Red World devour the existence, reality will be distorted. That's why the Disciples of the Red World set up 'Torches' to offset and alleviate this distortion, so that the world can have time to repair these 'loopholes'. But if there is a distortion that is too great for the world to repair, then the area will be completely destroyed and turned into pure Power of Existence. This means great power for the Disciples of the Red World … "
To put it bluntly, wasn't it just a reformatting system with too many bugs to repair?
"I see. What should we do now?"
"Faliagni is activating the Devouring City. We have to interrupt his activation, but he's now shrouded in a huge power of existence. We can't attack him at all, and even if we attack him, we can't cut off the secret technique unless he leaves this world …."
"Hmm …"
Hearing this, Fangzheng frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, his eyes lit up.
"Alastor, let me confirm again. Whether it's you or Faliagni, you both come from the world called the 'Red World', right?"
"That's right."
Although Alastor didn't know why Fangzheng would ask this question at such a critical juncture, he still gave an affirmative answer.
"So, in other words, to this world, you are creatures from another plane. Can I understand it this way?"
"… Of course."
"Good."
Hearing Alastor's answer, Fangzheng nodded.
"I have a way that might be able to solve this problem. But before that, I need your help to cut open this damned barrier formed by the 'Power of Existence'. I need some time."
"Cut …"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Shana clenched the long sword in her hand and stared at the tornado in front of her.
"… Can you do it?"
"I think the flames you used when you first fought me are similar to this power."
"Woo …"
Shana's expression changed at the thought of that battle. But Fangzheng didn't care at all. He just clenched the Sky Breaker Sword in his hand and watched in front of him vigilantly.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Shana. Show me the power of the Mist Warrior."
"I'll do it even if you don't tell me!"
Shana obviously knew that this was not the time to quarrel with Fangzheng, so she just replied coldly. Then, she immediately rushed forward, raised the long sword in her hand, and slashed at the tornado in front of her!
"Whoosh — —!!"
The long sword collided with the spinning flame tornado, forcibly opening a gap, but before Shana could take a step forward, a huge impact rushed towards her and forced her back.
"Woo …"
"Can you do it or not? I don't have time for you to warm up now! "
"You're so noisy, I don't need you to tell me!"
Hearing Fangzheng's complaint, Shana replied without looking back. Then, she clenched the long sword again and stared at the tornado in front of her. Then, she took a deep breath, raised the blade in her hand again, and swung it forward with force!
"Swoosh!!"
As Shana swung the long sword down, she cut a gap in the spinning tornado in front of her, but before Fangzheng had time to act, the gap closed again. At the same time, the powerful aura of the Power of Existence became stronger and stronger, giving people a feeling that a storm was coming.
"If you can't do it, let me do it, although there may not be enough time …"
"Ahhhhh!!"
Hearing this, Shana also shouted angrily.
"So noisy, so noisy, so noisy!! If I say there's no problem, then there's no problem!! "
