—Crimson Lord.
This was a title reserved for individuals among Crimson World Denizens who possessed exceptionally potent power. Just as in the human world, there were varying degrees of strength among Crimson World Denizens, and not every one of them possessed the same level of power.
Therefore, individuals among the Denizens who had extraordinary power were referred to as Crimson Lords.
Those who came from the Crimson World to the present world and formed contracts with humans to provide power and became Crimson World Denizens, thus becoming Flame Hazes, were also known as Crimson Lords.
The individual before them, who was celebrated as the “Hunter,” was likewise a Crimson Lord. His strength ranked among the top even among modern Crimson Lords. Such a formidable presence naturally had quite a reputation.
However, the young man recognized Alastor as well.
“You are the ‘Flame of Heaven’ Alastor, aren’t you?” Friagne shifted his gaze to the pendant in front of the girl. His face still bore a smile, but his voice no longer carried the mockery directed at the girl. Instead, it was tinged with a hint of seriousness.
“I have heard that the ‘Flame of Heaven’ is the contractor of the ‘Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Assassin.’ However, this is our first face-to-face meeting. It’s quite amusing that you, the ‘God of Retribution,’ would willingly reside within the body of a little girl. It’s not the kind of joke that makes one laugh.”
“There’s nothing to be surprised about,” Alastor responded calmly. “I control ‘Judgment’ and ‘Condemnation.’ Since our kind disregards the balance of the world, running rampant in the present world, it would be an even less amusing joke if I stayed within the Crimson World.”
“…Well, that does make sense,” Friagne said, raising his eyebrows as he looked at the Flame-Haired girl, who was intently focused on him before he spoke with a somewhat resigned tone. “But, ‘Flame of Heaven,’ it seems your contractor hasn’t made much progress. She hasn’t even fully harnessed your power. Do you really believe such a little girl can exterminate me?”
The answer to this question did not come from Alastor but from the Flame-Haired girl.
“Whether she can or not, that’s not for you to decide,” She stated with her Ōdachi held aloft, her voice childish yet resolute. “It’s up to ‘It’ to decide.”
The Ōdachi pointed at Friagne ignited into a fierce blaze.
“I see,” Friagne remarked, looking with keen interest at the blazing Ōdachi. He said, “So, you use that sword to summon flames for combat, huh? It seems to be a quite powerful Treasure Tool.”
There was a hint of excitement in Friagne’s voice, the kind of emotion one would feel when encountering an item of interest.
—Treasure Tool.
These were items that existed in the form of instruments and could bring about various miracles and phenomena. These items generally possessed special abilities, ranging from weak to strong, equivalent to manifesting Unrestricted Spells in physical form.
Most of these items did not require learning or mastery; they could be used simply by activation, and some did not even consume the Power of Existence. As such, they were highly coveted by Crimson World Denizens and even Flame Hazes.
The Ōdachi wielded by the Flame-Haired girl was, in fact, a Treasure Tool.
Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child) was also a Treasure Tool.
Friagne, known for collecting Treasure Tools, was a Crimson Lord.
Therefore, when it came to the Treasure Tool held by the Flame-Haired girl, the Crimson Lord who operated under the title of the “Hunter” displayed an undeniable desire.
“Although I didn’t intend to start a battle here, obtaining a Treasure Tool wouldn’t make this trip in vain,” Friagne said with a somewhat manic smile. “In that case, allow me to indulge myself with my favorite Treasure Tool and spar with you.”
After speaking, Friagne suddenly produced a playing card in his hand.
“Watch out!” Alastor immediately cautioned the Flame-Haired girl. “This ‘Hunter’ is known to possess multiple Treasure Tools. His strength ranks among the top five Crimson Lords of modern times. Don’t underestimate him!”
The Flame-Haired girl remained silent, keeping her gaze fixed on Friagne, her grip on her Ōdachi tightening.
In this tense atmosphere, an unexpected voice broke in.
“I told you, didn’t I? That’s my prey, right?”
The sudden voice left both the girl and Friagne startled and they instinctively turned to look at the source.
There, Fang Li seemed to have just realized he had spoken out of turn, and he smacked his palm as if to drive the point home.
“Right, I could’ve stealthily approached and ambushed him. It would’ve saved us a lot of trouble. Why did I speak up?”
This revelation left Friagne momentarily baffled. Only the Flame-Haired girl, as she looked at Fang Li, began to shoot him disdainful glances and uttered a single word.
“Idiot.”
Hearing this, Fang Li remained unfazed and nonchalantly replied with two words of his own.
“Childish.”
The girl, who had just ignored Fang Li moments ago, was suddenly taken aback, her temples pulsating. She glared at Fang Li, her voice growing more vicious as she shouted, “Who’s childish, huh?”
“In this situation, who else can I call childish?” Fang Li responded, showing no signs of backing down. “Calling you ‘childish’ is already being very generous, little girl.”
“Who’s a little girl?” The Flame-Haired girl exploded, pointing at Fang Li and fuming, “You’re just a mere human, yet you’re acting so arrogantly!”
“Well, funny you should say that. I was thinking the exact same thing,” Fang Li replied nonchalantly. “You are just a mere brat, and you’re acting this arrogantly. No wonder even that ‘Hunter’ over there looks down on you.”
The girl seemed genuinely furious, closing her eyes and slowly raising her Ōdachi, as if she intended to strike Fang Li directly.
“Wait a moment!” Alastor, seemingly unable to bear it any longer, interjected. “Our opponent is a Crimson Lord. Calm down!”
“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” The girl completely disregarded the advice from her Contracted Demon King, shouting like a petulant child. “I’m going to chop him up, don’t stop me, Alastor!”
“Alright.” Fang Li immediately taunted. “If you can do it, come and give it a try.”
The girl’s Burning-Eyed flared with intense flames.
As Fang Li and the girl suddenly erupted into a heated argument, Friagne finally reacted incredulously, speaking out loud.
“How dare they ignore me?”
Friagne’s words triggered Fang Li and the girl.
“None of your business! Go away!”
In response to the simultaneous and fervent rejection, Friagne’s expression froze. Then, fierce anger surged within him.
