Chapter 197 - 157: Flame Storm
Chapter 197: Chapter 157: Flame Storm
The forest was a complete mess.
Fang Xiu leaned weakly against a tree.
Beside him, Kajimi watched with a worried expression.
"Master, are you all right?"
She looked at the enraged Fang Xiu, his eyes bloodshot from the slaughter.
It was the first time Kajimi had ever seen him like this.
She couldn’t help but feel concerned.
"I’m fine!"
Fang Xiu waved his hand dismissively.
He was just exhausted.
This was the first time Fang Xiu had ever gone so berserk.
Even when he was angry before, he had never used so many Skills.
Fang Xiu had just downed about seventeen Recovery Potions.
It was just enough to maintain his Spiritual Power at a level sufficient for continuous attacks.
But now, as Fang Xiu gazed at the Demon Beast corpses on the ground, the rage in his heart had not subsided.
Then, flashes of light appeared as a great deal of loot burst forth.
"Kajimi, collect the items. Consider them funerary offerings for the Headmaster."
Fang Xiu said to Kajimi.
Kajimi nodded slightly and went to collect all the various items that had dropped.
Among them were plenty of High Level Materials, Spirit Medicine, and Equipment.
After all, Fang Xiu had just killed a Level 75 BOSS.
The other Demon Beasts were all Level 50 and above.
The items that dropped were naturally high-level and quite valuable.
However, Fang Xiu had no interest in these things.
They couldn’t bring the Headmaster back to life.
At that moment, Fang Xiu walked over to Yue Tianrui’s side, looking at the Headmaster’s smiling face.
"Headmaster, rest assured. I will take you to see the world of Demon Beasts!"
Fang Xiu tightly gripped the string of beads in his hand.
He didn’t know what material they were made of, but they were what the Headmaster had left behind.
Fang Xiu wouldn’t Sacrifice them.
He just wrapped the string of beads around his wrist.
Stroking the beads, he murmured, "Rest easy. One day, you will see this Demon Beast Realm utterly destroyed."
Then, Fang Xiu gathered some firewood and used his gloves to start a fire.
He cremated him as Yue Tianrui had instructed before his death.
"Master, I’ve collected everything!"
Kajimi had gathered every single item that had dropped.
"Mm, let’s go."
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
Kajimi then turned Invisible and flew off with Fang Xiu, heading back the way they came.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the Demon Beast Realm.
"If I had just flown over recklessly back then, maybe the Headmaster wouldn’t have died!"
Fang Xiu calculated the time; it was only a journey of twenty-some minutes.
If he hadn’t traveled on foot, but had Kajimi carry him while Invisible...
...it might have attracted the attention of some Demon Beasts, but it also might have saved the Headmaster.
"Master, if we had flown directly back then, we would have attracted the attention of even more Demon Beasts. We would have had to face more than just that nest of giant snakes."
Kajimi didn’t know how to comfort Fang Xiu, so she could only think for a moment before speaking.
Fang Xiu nodded slightly. "Maybe you’re right."
What’s done is done. There was no way to know if doing things differently would have changed the outcome.
Near the entrance of the Demon Beast Realm, Fang Xiu found a suitable spot and buried Yue Tianrui’s ashes along with all the items that had dropped earlier.
He didn’t erect a monument.
"Headmaster, I’ll come back to see you when I get the chance. By then, the Demon Beast Realm will be gone, and that’s when I’ll take you home!"
Fang Xiu said, speaking to Yue Tianrui’s grave.
"Let’s go, Kajimi. Let’s go back."
Fang Xiu looked toward the entrance of the Demon Beast Realm.
He didn’t know if they could still get out through this entrance.
"Okay!"
Kajimi nodded.
Then she carried Fang Xiu and flew toward the entrance.
It was pitch black inside, and nothing was visible.
Fang Xiu remained silent, simply letting Kajimi carry him as they flew out.
Their speed was immense.
"Kajimi, if I shatter this place, do you think it will prevent the Demon Beast Realm from connecting to the training grounds again?"
Fang Xiu asked suddenly.
"Theoretically, yes, but only temporarily. This space will slowly repair itself. In a few years, it might reappear!"
Kajimi was quite knowledgeable about these things and offered an explanation after hearing Fang Xiu’s words.
"That’s good enough!"
Fang Xiu nodded slightly. "I promised I would come back and take the Headmaster home!"
He couldn’t let these Demon Beasts continue to run rampant; who knew when they might return.
Therefore, Fang Xiu planned to close this Demon Beast Realm.
This way, for at least a few years, the Demon Beast Realm would definitely not be able to open.
And the Awakened could then train here in peace.
Before long, Fang Xiu saw light.
And then he saw many, many Demon Beasts.
He also saw familiar Awakened and unfamiliar ones.
’We’re back!’
Fang Xiu looked at everything below and had Kajimi activate her Invisibility.
The two of them were in front of the Demon Beast Realm’s portal.
No person, and no Demon Beast, could see them.
"Are you ready?"
Fang Xiu asked, looking at Kajimi.
"Yes!"
Kajimi nodded.
"Demon Dragon Gloves’ Second Skill: Blazing Flame Burst!"
Fang Xiu shouted under his breath.
A ball of Flame immediately shot toward the passage in the sky.
"Rotating Storm!"
At that moment, Kajimi also used her own Skill.
As the two Skills were unleashed together,
Wind Blades passed directly through Fang Xiu’s Flame, imbuing themselves with fire and beginning to fly at high speed!
Gradually, Kajimi’s Rotating Storm became completely engulfed in flames.
The fire rode the wind, gradually coalescing into a sea of fire.
"Flame Storm! Go!"
Kajimi and Fang Xiu shouted in unison.
