Otherwise, given the insect swarm's ability to multiply, the whole world would become an insect hive!

Jingliu, however, simply hovered high in the sky, quietly watching everything that was happening below, before fixing his gaze on a red-haired girl.

Stella Vermillion!

The heroine of Chivalry of a Failed Knight, and also the target of Kagami's mission, is now using her flames to burn away the surrounding swarm of insects.

Flames flickered on the red-haired girl's body, and a huge red dragon even vaguely appeared in them!

"That's it... to recognize your true power, which is not just about manipulating flames, but something more fundamental... a concept!"

"However, judging from the heat, it's slightly lacking..."

"With the power of 'destruction,' I will bring you a new life!"

"If you want to welcome new life, you must first throw yourself into destruction."

At this moment, Jingliu, as the Great Lord of Annihilation, also understood this principle. He picked up the Tanhua Sword and charged downwards, heading straight for Stella. Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of all the sword-wielders around.

"Stella! Watch out!"

Ikki had clearly sensed something, and his expression changed instantly. In just a moment, demon horns grew on his forehead.

"One cut!"

It is neither a Asura nor a Rakshasa.

The moment he entered his demon form, the boy named Kurogane Ikki merely swung a simple sword strike, slaying all the insects around Stella, and even…

It blocked Mirror Stream's path!

Boom!

Without hesitation, Jingliu kicked Yihui, sending the black-clad boy flying several hundred meters away.

"Ikki!"

Stella was naturally worried about her lover's situation, but they were in the middle of a battle, and she couldn't possibly have time to do that.

Therefore, after burning the insects to ashes with her own flames, the girl held the Feilong Sin Sword and stood in front of Jingliu.

"I will never let you lay a hand on Ikki again!"

Along with Stella appeared two demons from the Far East, as well as many sword-wielders.

After dealing with most of the insects, they turned their attention to the big boss, Jingliu.

Once we eliminate her, there will be another Skork, and the battle will be over, right?

Many people have this idea, but they also know that defeating the other party is not an easy task.

Therefore, in order for humanity to continue, they were forced to resort to despicable methods…

I'm sorry.

"Don't complain that we outnumbered you, after all, you're an alien!"

Some of the bladebreakers around him even said such things, causing Skirk to fall silent. But soon, the bladebreakers around him became silent as well.

Hiss—!

The moment Skork raised the Ephemeral Sword, countless swarms of insects reappeared on the land, their sharp roars seemingly mocking the Bladebreakers' earlier ignorance.

“I know, but you’ve got one thing wrong.”

"The one who can outnumber the weak is not you, but me!"

The sky was filled with insects; just looking at this scene was enough to make one feel physically uncomfortable.

But in the next instant, a chill appeared, and all the insects were killed, leaving all the blade-wielders around them stunned.

"Who made this move? Are there such powerful swordsmen on our Earth?"

"It's her? Why?"

The person who just made the move was not from the Alliance or the Allies, nor was he from the Rebels, but rather from Mirror Stream itself.

She herself took action and destroyed the swarm of insects she had created!

"Since you summoned those insects, why did you destroy them?"

Stella spoke those words in a trembling voice, expecting Jingliu to not respond, but he looked directly at her.

"I just want to tell you that if I tried to gang up on you, you would all be dead right now."

"The reason we're eliminating them is simply to give you a fair chance to duel, one-on-one..."

"If your strength satisfies me, I will stop intervening. But if not, let this world be plunged into destruction."

Jingliu's tone was very calm, as if he were talking about something insignificant, but everyone present was sweating profusely.

Because everyone understands the power of Jingliu—he has the ability to directly destroy the most powerful country in the world!

"Are you kidding me? How could we possibly agree to a one-on-one fight?"

"Isn't this sending us to our deaths?"

Clearly, no one present would agree to Jingliu's proposal, but Jingliu didn't need their agreement anyway...

“My words are not a suggestion, but an announcement.”

"Since you're unwilling, then I'll make it a reality!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jingliu's eyes changed, and the chill emanating from his body became even more solid, causing Stella in front of him to cover her eyes.

However, in the blink of an eye, the surrounding environment completely changed.

Apart from Jingliu and Stella, everything around them was covered in ice and snow. The seaside town that was once inhabited had now become a snowy hell.

"Let's get started."

"I wish you victory, for they may survive. If you lose..."

"Not a single person or thing will be left here!"

Now, it really is time for a one-on-one duel, even though Stella knows her chances of winning are slim...

But for Ikki, and for the sake of this world.

She's willing to give anything!

Even if my future self may no longer be human!

"The Dragon God has possessed me!"

Mirror Stream & Silky Knight: Chapter 74 Horns on His Head

This wasn't Stella's first experience with demonic transformation. She had already shown signs of it a few days prior during her sparring session with Nishikyo Ningyin, but…

Stella's demon transformation hadn't even occurred yet, but Po Jun Academy, with its countless years of history, vanished from the world without a trace, not even a speck of dust remained, not even the buildings or the vegetation.

why?

Because the entire interior of Po Jun Academy was engulfed in flames under the influence of Stella's power!

Fortunately, Ning Yin, a demon, was present. If it had been any other non-demon swordsman, even Hei Nai, the chairman of the Po Jun Academy who had once come into contact with the demon realm, it would have been impossible to stop Stella from going berserk.

Only Ningyin!

"Oh? Scales? Flames?"

When Ning Yin first saw the changes in Stella, she roughly guessed what Stella's abilities were.

After all, this kind of transformation is so famous in Western legends, isn't it the Red Dragon?

Moreover, Stella's changes were quite obvious; her teeth inexplicably became sharp, her pupils turned vertical, and even red scales appeared on her body...

These can't possibly be fish scales, can they?

Therefore, Ningyin immediately determined what Stella's demonization was—it was definitely developing in the direction of the legends…

Mythical Dragon!

If Stella's outburst is allowed to continue, the entire Po Jun Academy might be razed to the ground, and it could even affect several surrounding cities.

So Ning Yin used a thousand times the force of gravity to knock the red dragon girl in front of her unconscious, a scene that was naturally witnessed by Silky.

Stella is actually capable of fully entering the realm of a demon, but she is somewhat hesitant and worried about damaging the surrounding environment.

But now, Mirror Stream has displayed such formidable power that it has easily frozen an entire city, rendering all the surrounding Blade Masters and even demons immobile. Now, all that can be relied upon is Stella.

She had no choice but to do it herself.

The demon's power had long been within Stella's body, but the girl had never used it.

Now, in order to protect those around her and the people she loves most, Stella has chosen to fully embrace the power deep within her heart!

raging!

Flames reappeared on the girl's body. Although they looked so small, the heat of those flames far exceeded that of the past, as if they had completely transformed into a small sun.

It was at this moment that the fate of the demon surged into the girl's body like a tidal wave, even causing Stella to bleed from all seven orifices and turn her into a blood-soaked figure.

But not long after, Stella returned to her original posture, and then continued to bleed, and so on.

The powerful demonic energy was destroying the girl's body every moment, but because of the dragon's power, her body was constantly recovering, thus forming a delicate balance.

Once Stella's body had fully adapted to this power, crimson scales had already covered half of her body, and she no longer looked like a "human".

Compared to her previous girlish appearance, Stella now looks more like a dragon!

It has horns on its head, a tail behind its back, and even a pair of Western dragon wings on its back!

If the girl hadn't been holding the Fei Long Zui Sword tightly in her hand, even Jing Liu might not have been able to recognize that the person in front of him was Stella.

However, the demon succeeded, and the Mirror Stream's apprenticeship mission was completed, but... why does Stella seem so strange?

The vertical pupils revealed not reason, but utter madness, and this madness was directed at none other than Jing Liu.

"Did you forcibly gain power by losing your mind?"

For swordsmen, this method of gaining power is too risky, and it is rarely used in normal times.

But what time is it now?

Life was at stake. If nothing was changed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and countless people would lose their lives. That's why Stella stepped forward.

"Let me see just how far you can elevate yourself with the power you gained by losing your mind."

In terms of magical power alone, Stella is definitely number one in the world.

Now that he has become a demon, he has gone even further and will probably become the existence with the most demonic power in history.

As a swordsman, Mirror Style...

Of course I'm very interested!

So... take my sword!

-

Compared to the one-on-one battles within the Far East, the scene on the sea was completely different. After all, nine out of ten of the Blade Slayers surrounding the Far East were at the Demon Realm!

It covers all sorts of strange and wonderful abilities, whether it be elements, air, or even cause and effect and fate.

If the person standing here wasn't Skirk, being surrounded by so many demons, even Edelweiss would probably have died on the spot, right?

However, while Edelweiss's name is renowned in this world, he is still quite different from those reclusive powerhouses.

The youngest demon in the Eastern Empire, "Taotie" Fu Xiaoli, has already begun to catch up with Edelweiss's level. What about the other demons who are hiding in the deep mountains and forests?

I can't even imagine it!

Now, all the demons in the deep mountains and forests of Donghuang have been mobilized, which gives you an idea of ​​just how powerful Skirk is.

Faced with a force capable of flattening every nation in the world, Skylark was able to evade it with ease, seemingly unaffected even by fate or karma…

This strange occurrence caused the demons present to frown.

"The power of fate isn't working?"

"No, it's not that it's ineffective, it's that it's hard to influence the other party. It's as if there's an invisible chasm between the other party's fate and our world. Although we're so close, we can't reach it."

"Logically speaking, no living being in this world can escape the influence of fate, unless..."

"She really is from another world!"
