A Demon's Journey

Christina and Tiana were walking around in the Carnival, checking out the other booths that appeared interesting.

The two bought ornaments for each other and began to wear them. Christina was really happy to go on a walk with someone she could call a friend.

She knew that Tiana had most likely realized her identity, but she still remained normal around her. She didn't change her way of talking by adding that unnecessary respect to her name.

She had been tired of how her fellow disciples showed those respectful glances in her direction. She had a single friend in the Black Lake Sect, and that girl didn't come with her due to her preparations for the Heavenly Dragon Battleground Tournament.

When she arrived for this Eclipse Battleground's Tournament, she heard about Tiana's name. Tiana's name had created waves because she lined up in the queue even though she was a 4 Star Warrior.

Many people considered her ignorant. And after that incident, Christina was coincidentally given a seat next to Tiana's seat.

The more she talked to Tiana, the more she admired her. Christina knew that Tiana hadn't lied to her about her master. The only way she could have lied to her would be if she believed it with all her heart.

The two were enjoying themselves quite a bit. For Tiana, Christina's presence was very uplifting.

She had been stressed for these days. It was fun to spend time with Helena, but the joy she was experiencing with Christina was something else.

Christina's happy-go-lucky attitude was honestly quite amusing for her.

The two waited for 2 hours before Christina's Voice Transmission Stone began to beep up.

Christina immediately used her Spirit and spoke out, "What is it?" She was slightly annoyed since she was enjoying her time with Tiana. Just who dared to disturb her at this timing?!

Meanwhile, Tiana looked in her direction with a slight interest in her eyes.

The person on the other side of the Voice Transmission Stone spoke with a hint of urgency in his tone, "Young Miss, they are back! This time, they even brought their comrades. They are attacking our Array and Alchemy Booths at the same time."

"Good. I was waiting for them," Tiana suddenly spoke as she held Christina's hand and sped towards the Black Lake Sects' booths' direction.

Christina failed to understand what was going on, but she sent the message to her comrades, "Alright, wait for me. I will arrive soon. Just hold on until then."

Her fellow apprentice brothers and sisters were immediately relieved. They knew that everything would be okay once Christina arrived.

Once the connection between the Voice Transmission Array Stones was cut off, Christina put it away while asking Tiana, "Tiana, didn't you say that they won't attack anymore? How come they are attacking now."

Tiana immediately explained while the two were rushing towards the Blue Lake Sect's booth's position, "I didn't lie at that time. If the situation was left as it is. They truly wouldn't have dared to attack you. I asked you to let them relax the security so that these troublemakers could launch an attack. If they don't launch an attack, we can't catch them, right? Also, it seems we caught a big fish this time. Maybe their entire group has come."

Suddenly, Christina's body revealed a terrifying aura as she asked Tiana, "…You used my fellow comrades as a bait?"

Tiana was surprised and hurriedly released Christina's hand that flared up with Golden Flames.

Tiana looked in Christina's direction with a startled look.

"Don't you want to find out about the true perpetrator? This would be the quickest method. I admit I used them as bait, but only because I had complete confidence that we could prevent the situation from getting out of hand. I never meant to put your people in danger that might kill them," Tiana explained calmly.

The Golden Flames slowly receded within Christina's body, and she spoke with an extremely serious expression, "Never attempt this again. And I mean never! You are my friend, so I am letting you off with a warning. The next time, I won't be so kind."

Tiana understood that Christina was really angry. She nodded, "Alright, I promise to never attempt this again."

Soon, the two were on their way again. This time, Christina kept a bit of distance from Tiana as she rushed towards the location at her top speed.

Tiana let out a sigh internally. She should have expected such a response from Christina. But she didn't regret it.

Soon, they arrived at the scene.

14 warriors launched multiple attacks at the Blue Lake Sect's disciples, who remained seated in their booths.

The protective barriers around those booths protected them from the attacks, but the booths themselves had been demolished due to the shockwave.

Christina immediately became angry as she saw these warriors.

Golden Flames flared out as she launched a fireball at the warrior nearest to her location.

Those Golden Flames instantly annihilated that man! The man only had a brief time to scream out in pain before he was purged!

His scream caught his comrades' attention, who turned in Christina's direction. They were absolutely shocked to see her standing there.

"Those Golden Flames… You are Young Miss Christina!" One of them exclaimed shortly before they all turned to flee in the opposite direction.

This could be considered the stupidest decision in this situation. Christina wasn't going to hold back on them just because they were trying to flee!

"<strong>Golden Annihilation!</strong>"

Christina released her Golden Flames in thirteen parts as she launched them at the rest of the warriors who were trying to escape.

Her flames were rather swift as they immediately covered the distance between Christina and her enemies.

It felt like those Golden Flames were destroying the air in between as well!

A few warriors turned around to see a large flame ball coming towards them. They immediately released their respective elemental attacks at those Golden Flames approaching them.

These warriors were barely 3 Star Rank Warriors. Their attacks made no difference to those Golden Flames.

The Golden Flames weren't affected even after they used all their power to survive.

A few warriors even closed their eyes as they saw those Golden Flames approach them.

They felt their bodies getting cold. It was a strange feeling even though the flames were getting closer to them.

Several believed it was because they were going to die soon.

However, that was false. They were experiencing this cold because their bodies had literally frozen.

It was Tiana who froze their bodies.

The Golden Flames struck the Ice that encased their bodies.

It was Tiana's Ice battling against Christina's Golden Flames.

Christina's Golden Flames slowly lost their power while Tiana's Ice Statues had melted a bit.

Christina had an annoyed frown on her face as she turned in Tiana's direction and asked her, "What is the meaning of this?! You are protecting them?!"

This time, Tiana didn't back away. She replied with identical intensity, "You can't kill them yet! We need to find out about the true perpetrator. How can we do that if you kill them all?!"

Those words made Christina take a step back. She then realized she had actually lost herself in her anger.

Meanwhile, the Black Lake Sect's disciples continued to stare at Tiana with shocked expressions.

They were all thinking the same thing 'Monster! This girl is a monster like young miss Christina! Her Ice is actually a bit stronger than Young Miss Christina's Golden Flames?!'
