The firebird's shriek echoed through the sky, and the fire element in the air began to surge violently, rushing towards the direction where Iref and Any were.
However, the gale acted as a barrier, preventing any fire element from invading; the elements were torn to shreds before they could even get close!
An Yi lay on the ground, looking up at Irene: "Master... Master."
Sielef had changed her appearance; her whole body was shrouded in blue light, and her eyes, including her long-lost right eye, were also flashing blue.
Zero, and her severed left arm and necrotic right arm, were curled with black wind.
Si Na was the black ash on the ground that was swept into it.
She said, "Even a master would feel embarrassed to be stared at from that angle."
The sound of the wind comes from the air.
"Then I'll close my eyes," An Yi said, about to close her eyes.
"Please, please don't! Haven't you thought this might be the last time you see me?"
Everything, whether you can see it or not, should be etched into your mind!
"There are very few girls with such a great figure as Master," she laughed.
"Yes, master."
An Yi did exactly as instructed, deeply imprinting the image of Irene in his mind, without a trace of evil intent, only filled with respect.
He wanted to keep in his memory the master who taught him swordsmanship, fought alongside him, and always helped, guided, and protected him.
Just as Irene said, this was the last time Annie would see her.
"Hmph! Hmph! Aa ...
"boom!!"
A long howl followed by a deafening roar, and dazzling flames erupted from Phoenix's body. Eight giant beams of fire shot into the sky, transforming into burning birds that soared and circled in the air.
"Destroy my body!! I want you—"
die! !
Turn to ashes in the flames!
Eight burning birds roared simultaneously, and countless fireballs, each large enough to engulf three people, hurtled towards Irene and Annie!
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM——!!”
The continuous bombardment on the wind barrier produced bursts of explosions, like a never-ending string of firecrackers.
“Master…” An Yi looked at Irene floating beside her and asked, “Do you… still have a chance to survive?”
“No,” Elaine answered frankly. “If we didn’t pay the price with our lives, we really would have died together.”
Now, at least we can still save you.
Didn't you save my life? When we first met.
To be honest, if you hadn't been there, I might have been dead.
So, I'm repaying the favor I owed you.
“Master… Phoenix has nine lives. I’ve already killed him once, and now this is his second life.”
Starting from his third life, he will continuously regenerate until he has used up all his remaining lives.
"That's why it gives people the illusion that it's unkillable," Annie told Elef.
"Wow, that really surprises Master An Yi. He even knows about this kind of thing."
Manipulating the wind to block the attack, Irene descended to the ground and knelt beside Annie.
"I really want to pat your head as a reward, but... haha, I don't have any hands to use now."
"Can I rub my head against you, Leek?"
“Okay,” An Yi replied.
As Irene approached, her face, with its eyes and veins radiating a bluish light, was no longer considered beautiful. Though not ugly, it looked rather strange.
She leaned down, smiled, closed her eyes, and rubbed her forehead against An Yi's hair.
Finally, to An Yi's bewildered gaze, she lightly kissed his lips.
5. "I'm almost dying, and I haven't even given up my virginity yet, but at least I should give up my first kiss, right?"
Irene smiled mischievously.
"Oh!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept An Yi up and blew him out of the city with lightning speed.
Huge fireballs came hurtling towards them, but were torn to shreds by the storm midway.
"I have nothing more to teach you. The Raging Wind Sword Technique will definitely be stronger than mine in your hands."
As a gift to mark my graduation, I have nothing else to offer, so I'll give you this sword.
Her voice came from the wind.
The ancient longsword, along with An Yi, was enveloped by the gale and headed out of the city.
"Sorry, it's not a decent gift, but it's still good as a souvenir, right?"
If you carry it with you, you'll think of me whenever you see it, right?
Well, that's all I can do.
I love you.
Remember me.
The sound of the wind disappeared, the sound of the wind and the sound of the fire also disappeared, and the world seemed to fall silent.
An Yi saw a beam of blue light rise from the ground, smashing eight flying firebirds in succession.
A burst of flames erupted, and a giant firebird appeared in the sky above the city.
A sudden gust of wind arose, thunderclouds gathered, and a storm erupted from the ground.
Wind and fire, accompanied by thunder and lightning, filled the city's sky, swirling, intertwining, colliding, and tearing.
Finally, like a volcanic eruption, flames shot into the sky, reaching the heavens and burning everything to ashes.
The world returned to peace.
……
It's unclear how long it took, but An Yi traveled day and night at full speed to her hometown village.
That village is deserted. (Six)
But his father, mother, and sister are buried there.
His family is buried there.
Reaching his family's graves, he bowed his head deeply.
Then he straightened up, raised his sword and swung it across the open space next to his family's graves, carving out a deep pit.
He knelt before the deep pit, took off the cloth bag from his back, and placed it on the ground.
Open it, and inside is Irene's beloved sword.
It is said that this sword has been with her for over a thousand years.
He lowered the sword, still attached to the cloth bag, to the bottom of the deep pit.
Then a handful of soil, a handful of earth, was buried on the sword.
"Master, there's something I want to tell you."
I will remember you, forever.
I'm sorry I couldn't hold a funeral for you.
All he could bury was this sword.
All he could do was bury her with his family.
An Yi didn't want to see the sword.
Because every time he sees it, he feels heartbroken and can't control himself.
Because he remembered their parting, Irene confessed her feelings and said goodbye to him.
However, he did not give any response.
He could no longer respond.
On another bright and sunny morning, that person remained in yesterday.
……
But now, he's back.
We've returned to a yesterday that's even further back than yesterday itself!
I've returned to yesterday, a day when I could meet her again and save her!
The next morning, An Yi got up very early.
Good morning, Your Highness.
"We should go gather intelligence."
Chapter 164 Mr. An Yi, please help!
There is probably no one in the world who knows more about [Ereph the Storm] than An Yi.
There's absolutely no need for any "investigation of criminal intelligence".
However, this information couldn't have just appeared out of thin air, and there was no relevant intelligence in the human world, so he had to put on an act.
Many people among the demons know of [Ireve of the Wrath of Winds], and even if they don't, the Sword Demon will actively spread the word.
It's very simple. If you don't even know how vicious the criminals are, how can you arouse the enthusiasm of the people?
We need to portray her as an enemy first; that will make building momentum much smoother!
