Though a modern entity in the world of Crimson World Denizens, Friagne held a status that few could rival, being among the top five Crimson Lords, not only in terms of strength but also in prestige.
His inherent power far surpassed that of regular Crimson World Denizens. In terms of raw strength, he could hold his own among the Crimson Lords of modern times. Adding to his formidability, he possessed multiple Treasure Tools, granting him a combat prowess that could effortlessly vanquish most Flame Haze.
That's why Friagne was bestowed the title of "Hunter." He took pleasure in collecting Treasure Tools and hunting Flame Haze, and his reputation had always preceded him.
However, in the present moment, he found himself being condescended to by a Flame Haze who couldn't even fully utilize the power within her contracted human. Yes, he felt belittled.
At least, that was what Friagne believed.
As a result, a blazing fury began to ignite within him.
With rage burning within, Friagne maintained his elegant smile on the surface. However, he whispered a single sentence.
"Maybe I should just kill them all."
In that instant, an exceptionally terrifying murderous aura emanated from Friagne's very being. The powerful imposing presence blended with the intense murderous aura, causing the entire Fuuzetsu/Seal to seem as though it was trembling, swaying slightly.
Immediately afterward, Friagne extended his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Boom!"
Around his body, the pale flames suddenly erupted like an explosion. These flames coalesced into numerous Dolls, suspended in mid-air, akin to being pulled by invisible threads. They whirled through the air, and then suddenly, like bullets fired from an invisible gun, they launched violently toward their targets below.
Their targets were none other than Fang Li and the Flame-Haired girl.
"——!"
Fang Li and the Flame-Haired girl both spotted the descending Dolls almost simultaneously.
They each made different choices.
The Flame-Haired girl pushed off the ground, swiftly darting away, transforming into a fiery red streak as she dodged the oncoming legion of Dolls with a flourish of fire powder, evading them entirely.
On the other hand, Fang Li exploded into action.
Like a rocket shooting skyward, Fang Li suddenly ascended into the heavens. His figure transformed into a lightning bolt, executing several abrupt maneuvers in the spatial realm, expertly dodging the incoming legion of Dolls. With astonishing speed, he shot up into the mid-air where Friagne stood.
"What?!" Friagne was taken aback.
"That guy…"
Even the Flame-Haired girl, who was in the process of retreating, couldn't help but be astonished.
In this situation, Fang Li wore a faint, ruthless smile on his lips. His figure rocketed towards Friagne, and within moments, he was before him.
"Flashing Dash- One Deer!"
A flash-like kick was released from under Fang Li's heel, an ephemeral meteor that howled through the air, delivering a devastating strike directly at Friagne.
Completely unprepared for a human to suddenly appear before him and unleash such a potent attack, Friagne could only react in the nick of time by summoning the white cloth that had been hovering around him and placing it in front of himself as a makeshift defense.
The meteor-like blow landed heavily upon it.
"Boom!"
A deep, stifling sound reverberated throughout the area.
In the next moment, centered around Fang Li's direct foot strike on the white cloth, a powerful shockwave erupted, unleashing a terrifying force upon the fabric.
In comparison to Fang Li's Agility and Intelligence attributes, his Strength was lacking by roughly 40 points in both categories.
However, Fang Li possessed the "Heavy Silver Hand" equipment, which significantly increased the weight of his attacks, effectively doubling his damage output.
As a result, Fang Li's attack power surged significantly, causing a tremendous force to impact the white cloth, much to Friagne's surprise.
This surge of power sent Friagne, who was hastily defending himself, along with the white cloth, hurtling through the air. He transformed into a projectile like a Crimson Lord bearing the name "Hunter," and in the midst of a sharp space-breaking sound, he was sent flying.
"Ugh…!" Friagne felt a tingling sensation throughout his body causing him to clench his teeth and forcefully suppress the groan that rose in his throat, struggling to regain control of his form before coming to a halt.
On the opposite side, Fang Li, suspended in mid-air like he had no weight at all, gazed at the distant Crimson Lord, muttering, "Are you okay? I should have just used a slashing attack."
Seeing Fang Li, seemingly weightless and hovering in mid-air, Friagne's smile finally vanished.
"Who are you exactly?" Friagne demanded.
Hearing this, Fang Li smiled suddenly and replied, "I am just a human."
As he spoke these words, Fang Li finally gripped a dagger in his hand. Raising his gaze to meet Friagne's, Fang Li's expression gradually turned calm.
However, in contrast to the calm expression, Fang Li emitted a murderous aura that was as formidable as Friagne's had been earlier.
The intensity of this murderous aura caused Friagne's eyes to shift in response.
It was only at this moment that Friagne realized a significant issue, one he had overlooked because he had focused all his attention on the Flame-Haired girl's body and failed to notice initially.
"You said you're human," Friagne said solemnly, "So why can you move within the Fuuzetsu/Seal?"
The Fuuzetsu/Seal was an Unrestricted Spell that could directly sever the causal link between the inside and outside spaces, rendering the interior space still as if time had come to a halt.
Within this barrier, only two types of entities could act: Flame Haze and Crimson World Denizens. Any other entity required special powers to operate within the Fuuzetsu/Seal, such as using specific Unrestricted Spells or being a servant like Rinne.
"No, there's one more situation," Friagne stated.
He locked his gaze onto Fang Li, enunciating each word distinctly. "Your body possesses a unique Treasure Tool."
This declaration elicited a smile from Fang Li. "You got it right."
With that, Fang Li slowly raised a hand, and a pendant materialized perfectly in his palm.
"That is…!" Below, Alastor's voice emitted from the pendant in front of the Flame-Haired girl, filled with astonishment.
Friagne's eyes similarly changed, immediately surging with an unprecedented greed.
"Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child)!"
