Chapter 114 The Knight of the Flickering Flame

We advanced slowly but cautiously.

The maze-like terrain did not hinder us at all.

This was thanks to the ancient rune map and the fantasy map that we combined.

As we passed through various terrain, we finally reached the end of the labyrinth.

Our vision turned black.

Hey, are you guys still with me?

Ow! Who stepped on my foot?

Watch where youre going.

Stop, stop stepping on me! Youre doing it on purpose, arent you?

An unknown space unfolded before us.

Darkness filled every direction.

Except for the feeling of a flat floor under our feet, there was nothing we could be sure of.

But according to the map, this place was the center of the temple.

I focused on the energy around me.

It didnt matter if it was dark.

As long as I could sense the energy, it was as good as having eyes.

It didnt take long for me to gauge the space.

It was a large circular area.

It looked like a place where a troupe would perform, surrounded by stepped seats.

But then.

Bang!

Suddenly, a very small light source appeared.

It only illuminated a part of the center of the space.

Nobody move.

I instructed the other three to stay still, and I slowly approached the spot.

Thud- Thud-

Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the silent space.

Looks like we have another visitor.

A seductive voice reached me from the front.

I stared straight ahead.

There was no sign of hostility, so there was no need to be on guard.

This is a magicians energy Ah, of course.

Soon, a knight who looked like a human-shaped red rose appeared.

Janet.

She was the leader of the Celestial Blessing.

Behind her, three other knights of the Celestial Blessing were standing in the darkness.

I knew it. I expected to meet you here.

She nodded and took another step toward me. And then she suddenly extended a hand.

We havent seen each other in a long time. How about a handshake?

I quietly examined her.

Needless to say, the Celestial Blessing was not weak.

They were the ones that people talked about as the candidates for the victory.

Our scores were similar to theirs, and they had no choice but to visit this temple if they wanted to avoid the Death Dragon and get points.

Youre not taking it, huh? Youre making me feel awkward. I thought your teleportation magic was interesting, so I offered it first.

Janet looked as flawless as her reputation.

She had no visible wounds and she didnt seem tired at all.

She soon withdrew her hand.

Well, fine. Flan. Then Ill propose something else.

I listened to her quietly.

We want your points.

Janet pointed her sword at them.

Show your faces before I pierce you!

Then the darkness of the space was lifted.

At the same time, everyones faces turned cold.

One of them had a very familiar face.

She was now a Witch without a doubt, but she had been a knight I had faced once.

I narrowed my eyebrows slightly.

It wasnt anything else, but I couldnt remember her name for a moment.

Then I barely recalled it.

Was your name Ella?

Yeah. Im sure I executed you with honor by my own hand.

Janet muttered incredulously.

Ella.

She was reborn as a Witch.

She was emitting a powerful aura that was incomparable to before, as if she had received a strange power from the Witch.

Even so, I smirked.

It looks like you couldnt kill her.

Come to think of it, youre right. I remember now. I left her alive, but paralyzed her limbs.

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

The Witch let out a chilling laugh.

I wonder how it feels when all the pets that ran away from home come back. Come on, everyone~

You must have seen the future, and yet you didnt run away.

Ah~ I was quite surprised by that trick. That was a crystal ball I cherished very much.

Shadows like snakes writhed and approached us.

I quietly watched their stealthy movements with my eyes.

What is your name?

Call me whatever you want~ We wont see each other for long, right?

Flan nodded silently.

Well, never mind. Well introduce ourselves later.

I made everyone step back a few steps.

Janet looked at me with a puzzled expression, but she did as I said when she met my serious gaze.

One more person hasnt arrived yet.

Whoosh

The next moment.

I heard something burning faintly.

It was a small but strangely clear sound.

And the next moment.

A crack filled with heat appeared on the wall.

Kwaaaaa!

The space was split in half by a red sword.

!

As the others faces were filled with shock, I saw a pit carved in a straight line in front of me.

If I hadnt made them back off, they would have all turned into ashes.

The heat wave hit a beat later.

Soon, lava filled the place, and the hot air burned my skin.

The space that started to heat up to the extreme.

A small river of lava.

A place where no human could ever step on.

There was a knight walking there without a care.

She stepped deep into the lava with every step, as if it was nothing.

I saw her from afar.

The Knight of the Flickering Flame, Scarlet.

The rest, well hear when she arrives.

I just muttered that.
