"Chī—!"
Accompanied by a faint sound of space breaking, a fiery figure suddenly streaked across the sky, descending from above, and soared among a group of Dolls that had lunged forward, landing on the ground.
That spot happened to be right in front of Fang Li.
So, Fang Li was the first to see it.
To see a Flame-Haired.
Immediately, a voice, youthful yet filled with authority, began to resonate.
"So, it was merely a group of Rinne?"
As the words fell, the Master of the Flame-Haired took action.
"Hū—!"
A wave of scorching wind howled around them.
It was the sound of fire powder carrying scorching temperatures dancing in the air.
Enveloped in this swarm of fire powder, the Flame-Haired's Master slowly raised a hand, holding a large Ōdachi.
A Ōdachi that burned with flames.
With this blazing Ōdachi in hand, the Flame-Haired's Master shot out like a bullet, meeting one of the Dolls head-on.
"Pū Chī—!"
A swift and decisive slash was released from their hand, cleaving the Doll into two.
This strike was akin to a meteor ablaze, leaving only a faint trail of crimson in space before cutting the Doll into pieces.
Shortly afterward, the Flame-Haired's Master, carrying a flurry of fire powder around them, moved at speeds rivaling bullets, darting towards another Doll.
"Pū Chī—!"
Once again, the flaming Ōdachi cut through the Doll, slicing it in two.
"Pū Chī— Pū Chī— Pū Chī—!"
The Flame-Haired Master who was far superior to the surrounding Dolls, moved through the space like a stream of light, advancing toward the oncoming Dolls and cutting them down one after another. Her Ōdachi continuously slashed through space, leaving behind fiery traces in the crimson realm.
To be honest, this sword skill, even using a flattering description, couldn't be considered exquisite. At least, compared to Amagiri Ayato's Amagiri Bright Dragon Style Sword Technique and Toudou Kirin's Toudou Style Sword Technique, the path of the Ōdachi in front of Fang Li appeared too straightforward and lacked finesse.
However, this straightforward slashing technique unleashed a powerful and concise strength that was absent in the more refined Sword Techniques.
In this situation, coupled with formidable Taijutsu, the Flame-Haired Warrior was like a passing hurricane, a streak of fiery light, flashing around and cutting down the incoming Dolls one by one.
Complex as it may sound, the entire process barely took a few seconds.
From the moment the Doll army lunged at Fang Li to the stylish arrival of the Flame-Haired Warrior, who swiftly and cleanly slew the still-midair Dolls, how could this process take too long?
By the time the final Doll was cut down by the flaming Ōdachi, the Flame-Haired's Master had already arrived behind Fang Li.
"Hū—!"
Fire powder, like the wind, continuously swirled around the Flame-Haired's Master, as though it descended from the prominent Flame-Haired figure.
"Chī—!"
The pointed Ōdachi hung only a few centimeters above the ground. The flames burning on it scorched the grass, leaving behind a faint singed mark, producing a pungent odor.
Fang Li could feel the intense heat coming from behind him. Although this temperature was not as scorching as that of the Black Furnace Demon Sword, which could reduce anything to ashes, it exuded a powerful aura.
Curiously, Fang Li turned slowly to look behind him.
In the next moment, the newcomer's appearance fully entered Fang Li's view.
It was a young girl.
A girl who appeared to be around 13 to 14 years old.
Her figure was extremely petite.
She wore a pitch-black coat.
In her hand, she held a flaming Ōdachi as hot fire powder danced around her.
A Flame-Haired flickered in the air and her clothing billowed in the airflow.
Such a majestic young girl now stood before Fang Li, raising her head slowly.
Her pair of eyes, akin to burning flames, gleamed with fiery red.
Flame-Haired.
Burning-Eyed.
"Flame Haze…"
She was a Warrior, existing to hunt down Crimson Realm Denizens who disrupted the world's balance.
In the Crimson Realm, not all Denizens acted solely according to their desires.
Among them, some Denizens proactively believed that their kind's rampant actions in the present world would ultimately disrupt the balance between the present world and the Crimson Realm, thus affecting the Crimson Realm's existence. In response, they developed a desire to eliminate the transgressors and maintain equilibrium.
However, Crimson Realm Denizens' manifestations in the present world required a significant amount of Power of Existence and could only devour what humans had gained.
To avoid following the same path as their counterparts, some Denizens, especially those with substantial power, entered contracts with humans. They provided their power to these contractors in exchange for maintaining the balance by eliminating unruly Crimson Realm Denizens.
This was the origin of Flame Hazes.
The girl before Fang Li was one such Flame Haze.
Furthermore, she was a Flame Haze well-known to Fang Li.
The reason was quite simple.
The girl was none other than the female main character from "Shakugan no Shana (Burning-Eyed Shana)."
Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed's Assassin—Shana.
With her back to Fang Li, the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed girl, as if completely unaware of the presence of another living being, suddenly spoke.
"Alastor, what do you think?" Her words had barely finished when a voice responded to her.
"Indeed, only mere Rinne." This voice, distinct from the girl's youthful yet dignified tone, belonged to a mature and deep male voice.
The voice came from a pendant hanging around the girl's neck.
It was a jewel-encrusted with glittering stars, a pendant that exhibited a dark red glow throughout.
Within the pendant, an entity named Alastor spoke.
"However, there are so many Rinne. It seems the Denizens creating them possess considerable power. We should be more cautious this time."
Hearing this, the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed girl stated without the slightest hesitation, "Don't worry, I will eliminate them."
Her voice lacked overconfidence but carried an air of absolute certainty.
Clearly, for this young girl, the strength of her opponent was not a factor that could change her course of action.
No matter how formidable her adversary, the only thing the girl needed to do was eliminate them.
"So…"
The next moment, the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed girl turned her flaming eyes toward Fang Li's body.
"What is the deal with this human?"
