With the roar, countless thunderbolts converged together, as if forming a huge white hole, swallowing everything on the ground, whether it was good or vicious, whether it was good or evil, in the face of this almost natural disaster-like force, there was obviously no value in discussing.

"That guy...... Really? ”

On the rooftop hundreds of meters away, Xia Na's eyes widened, although Tang Hao seemed to have a chance to win, but she was still a little uneasy, so she followed, but before she could catch up with Faliagni, this sudden lightning strike forced her to stop her steps.

It was a natural calamity-level power, but it was not a natural calamity, at least normal lightning strikes would not be so dense, nor would they have such terrifying power, even if it was a fire mist warrior, she didn't think that anyone's strength could reach this level.

It's not so much the power of people as it is ...... It's like divine punishment!

"I'm afraid her strength is far more than that of ordinary Red World Demon Lords." The pendant on Xana's chest flickered slightly, and even Alastol's voice became deeper than before, "If you talk about the destructive power of an instant, even among the ancient kings of the Red World, there are few people who can match it. ”

"So, what if it's a demon god?"

Xia Na turned her head to look, but it was Tang Hao who walked over with a smile, and then she looked down at the pendant, as if she was also a little curious.

However, Alastol did not answer directly, but said: "Although her explosive power is very strong, such a large-scale attack will inevitably consume a lot of existential power, and her use of existential power seems to be a little rusty...... Well, it really weakened. ”

As his words fell, I saw that the thunder circle on the opposite side began to shrink gradually, and the thunder pillar also flickered brightly and darkly, and in a few blinks of an eye, all the thunder light was completely gone, revealing a charred black earth, and in the center of the street, Fallagni had already disappeared without a trace, only Mikoto Misaka was still standing there, and then shook slightly, and his body fell backwards weakly.

Syllable!

The thunder circle has dispersed, but there are still traces of the previous ones on the ground, and from time to time you can see small electric lights jumping up and falling from the ground, Tang Hao can also feel a little crispy and numb when he runs on it.

"How is she?"

"It's nothing, it's just out of strength."

Tang Hao squatted beside Meiqin and shook his head.

At this moment, Mai Trin has lost consciousness, but there are no external injuries on her body, and after examination, Tang Hao thinks that it may be because the blow just now consumed all her strength, so that she temporarily fell into a state of shock...... It can be seen from this that Alastol's statement is correct, even if Mai Trin's current strength has surpassed most of the Red World Demon Kings, this kind of large-scale attack will still cause her a certain burden, and naturally it cannot be compared with the Demon God.

However, Tang Hao believes that this is the result of Meiqin's deliberate creation.

Because at that time, Faryaghni was already at the end of the crossbow, and he couldn't afford to fall to the ground with just a thunderbird, and to kill him, there was no need for a real thunderbolt. And with Maikoto's character, she won't kill easily, even if the opponent is the cruel and unscrupulous Red World Demon King, while making up her mind to kill the other party, she should also feel guilty.

Tang Hao can understand this mood very well, when he was in the world of Yeliang God, when he killed someone for the first time, he also had a strong nausea and discomfort, but because he killed a scumbag, he was not so kind, but he had a clear conscience, and then as the number of times increased, he gradually got used to it.

"In short, the sky of this city can be refreshing for a few days for the time being......"

Tang Hao raised his head and said with a smile.

……

"Xana, you're back!"

Sakai Yuuji's family, although Sakai Yuji did not participate in this hunter crusade, but after all, it is related to the survival of the entire city, and he can't sleep peacefully, so he has been sitting at the door and waiting, until the small figure appeared in front of him, he immediately ran forward.

"Is the battle over? Has the enemy been eliminated? Misaki doesn't have to disappear anymore, right? Are you okay? ”

There are a lot of questions, Yuji Sakai asked in one breath.

Xia Na lowered her face, and suddenly felt a burst of irritability in her heart, and immediately shouted: "Uruse Urusai! Xana Xana, don't call it so kindly! ”

Then she rushed into the house in a huff

"Uh......"

Yuji Sakai touched his head, looking dazed, although at the beginning, he and Xia Na disagreed, and the two sides often had disputes, but after being disagreed by Tang Hao, he began to try to understand each other from Xia Na's standpoint, and although Xia Na had a bad temper, she was not a very unreasonable person, and gradually, the two reached a certain consensus.

At least when she left before, she hadn't been so fierce.

Could it be that something happened?

Sakai Yuji walked into the house and came to the room that originally belonged to him but was now forcibly occupied by Xia Na, but found that there was no one in the room, but there was a faint sound of running water on the other side of the corridor, and then I saw that the bathroom light was on, and Xia Na's coat was thrown on the bed and the floor very casually.

"Are you taking a bath......?"

Yuji Sakai grunted, shook his head, and walked to the side of the bed to pick up Xana's littered clothes, and then, a fiery red pendant came into his sight.

"Alastol."

"Well, I'm here."

Yuji Sakai stared at it for a while, and finally sat down, and couldn't help but ask, "Xana...... What's wrong? ”

"I've been hit."

"Blow?"

"As a scorching killer, he does not have the strength to match his name, he is despised and insulted in battle, and he cannot refute it, although he wins the victory, he does not defeat the enemy by his own strength, and in the end he has no chance to make a name for himself...... She's a child with a lot of self-esteem, and she's been that since she was a child, so it's better not to mess with her now. ”

"That's the case......" Sakai Yuji responded, although he didn't know the specific story yet, but the general meaning was already understood, listening to the constant sound of running water from the bathroom, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Alastol, have you and Xana lived together since childhood?" ”

"Let's just put it that way...... She was picked up and adopted by my helpers when she was still a baby, and because of her excellent qualities, she was nurtured as a mist of fire until twelve years later, when an event took the opportunity to sign a contract with me, and since then, her body has stopped growing. ”

Yuji Sakai was stunned, "Xana, she...... Is it only twelve? ”

"That's not it, it's been about two years since the contract was signed."

"That's only fourteen years old...... "Yuji Sakai suddenly understood why Xana had such a character.

Misfortune since childhood,After being away from the normal society, she was cultivated as a fire mist.,Only fourteen years old, she has such skills and combat effectiveness.,Obviously,At a very young age,,She has already received all kinds of training.,And then even the people she comes into contact with are fire mist warriors or people of the red world.,When this concept is deeply rooted,And then enter the ordinary human society,Naturally, it will look different from ordinary people.。

Perhaps, compared to Xana, he is lucky.

Although the real him is dead, at least, before he dies, his life is quite happy.

"Yuji Sakai."

"Huh?" A deep voice pulled Yuji Sakai back from his thoughts.

"This is Xana's secret, originally, even if she wants to say it, she should tell you herself, do you know why I told you this?"

"Why?"

"Because you're different. In the past two years of wandering adventures, we have also encountered many torches like you, when they learn that they are just a torch, they either shout or give up on themselves, in order to continue to live, do everything possible to maintain their humble existence, but you are willing to sacrifice your existence to save others. ”

"I'm not going to praise you for that, but it's true that in Shana's short career in the fire mist, you are the most special torch she's ever encountered, just as our presence led you from the ordinary everyday to this world, and your presence affects Xana."

"I'm ...... Influence Xana? ”

"That's right. While I don't know if the effect was good or bad, she did start to get a little bit different from what she used to be, and that was something I couldn't do. ”

"Why?"

"I told her when I signed the contract that I wouldn't teach her how to fight, and that it was up to her to understand what kind of fire mist she wanted to become. And that's what I want to tell you, although I don't have a duty to guide you, but now that the gangsters threatening this city have been eliminated, Xana and I will continue to travel and will leave here soon, before I do that, I want to ask you...... Yuji Sakai, what kind of Mistys do you want to be? ”

"I ......"

Yuji Sakai was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Alastol would say such a thing to him, he had never thought about it, and besides, compared to this question...... Is Xana leaving?

……

Bang!

"Why? Why? Why ......"

In the bathroom, Shana's loose hair was bathed in cold water, punching the wall, and constantly whispering to herself.

Since becoming a Fire Mist Warrior, she has experienced countless battles in the past two years of adventure, and she has always thought that she is already a Fire Mist who can stand alone, until this battle tonight...... In the face of the hunter's powerlessness, if it weren't for the assistance of Tang Hao and others, she would have been defeated a long time ago.

Even though they eventually won the battle against the Hunter, everyone else was eclipsed when the thunderbolt fell from the sky.

Just like a race, the only thing that will be remembered is the champion.

Although she didn't want to compare with Mikoto Misaka, she still couldn't help but compare, she was a fire mist warrior, she had a powerful Red World Demon King like Alastol as a contractor, and a unique treasure like Zhendian Sana, who had obviously gathered all the powerful elements, why...... Or do you feel so weak?

What kind of fire and mist warrior am I?

What am I missing?

Coming out of the bathroom, Xana still had such thoughts lingering in her mind until she returned to her room.

"Xana?" With the arrival of Xana, Yuji Sakai also returned to reality from thinking and got up instinctively.

Xana had a low face and a gritted tooth expression, "What are you doing?" ”

"I didn't do anything, I just ......"

"What didn't you do? Then why are you holding my underwear in your hands?! ”

"Uh......" Yuji Sakai was stunned, looked down, and sure enough, Xia Na's clothes were tightly grasped in his hands, and he said that he wanted to clean it up just now.

"Wait! Listen to me......"

"Urusse!"

With a roar, the girl seemed to turn into a trapeze, jumped up in the air, and kicked Yuji Sakai in the face.

Bang!

If it weren't for the torch, maybe someone would have died tonight.

……

"Mai Trin fell asleep?"

"Well, she's only temporarily collapsed, and she should just rest for the night."

Just when Yuji Sakai was violently beaten by Xia Na, under the same night sky, Tang Hao and Youzhu were quite harmonious.

"Did you see it?"

"What?" Tang Hao was just about to sit down, but he was suddenly stunned, and then quickly shook his head, "Of course not!" Don't talk nonsense, I carried Mai Trin into the room and let her sleep and came out immediately, I didn't see anything, I'm not the kind of ...... who takes advantage of people's danger."

Before he could finish speaking, Youzhu rolled his eyes and picked up his phone, "That's what I'm talking about." ”

"Huh?"

"I looked at the progress of the task just now, and found that the cause and effect points have changed again."

"Oh...... I see, this is it. Tang Hao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, what, you have to speak clearly, you, you don't say what you see, how do I know what you mean, after all, people always want to be crooked.

Tang Hao secretly sneered to himself, took out his mobile phone at the same time, and then when he saw the cause and effect points on the task interface, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"This ...... How is this possible? ”

Causal point with Xana: 48

Causal point with Yuji Sakai: 15

Previously, due to Tang Hao's prestige in Sakai Yuuji, the cause and effect points of both sides also made great progress, reaching 15, which was three times that of Xia Na, and now, in just one hunter crusade, Xia Na not only came from behind, but even surpassed Sakai Yuji by as much as three times.

"Isn't that an exaggeration? Is there a BUG? ”

Tang Hao scratched his head, a little confused for a while.

"Actually, I just thought about it, and this cause and effect point may be a little different from what we originally thought."

"Oh?" Tang Hao looked up at Youzhu.

"First of all, when we came to this world, we were quickly locked in the Blockade, and our strength is not immune to it, in other words, without your second soul, we will die as soon as we come up, is this kind of difficulty a little too difficult for Hardmode?"

"If so...... Well. Tang Hao touched his chin and nodded, indeed, the rules of this world are self-contained, even if he is a strong man who has fought with inhibition, he can barely get out by relying on the second soul, if he changes to another group member...... In addition to the purple ...... whose age and strength are a mystery Sister, I'm afraid that even Kaguya will have to hit the street on the spot.

After all, Kaguya is only immune to death, but not immune to disappearing.

And if even the second master of the chat room has to hit the street, the difficulty of this dungeon is indeed a little abnormal.

"Of course, the choice of difficulty may also take into account your second soul ......," Yuju added, "but without any hints, it will be a dead end, and there is only one solution...... Although I don't know what kind of mode it used to be, it stands to reason that the opening of this level is not surprising to appear in Hero mode. ”

"Well, you're right......" Tang Hao's expression was a little embarrassed, "Then why is this happening?" ”

It can't be me because of my relationship again, right?

"I didn't understand it before, but after seeing the change in this cause and effect point, I did understand a little."

Tang Hao didn't speak, and listened carefully.

Youzhu said: "The causal point, in our initial understanding, is considered to be causal entanglement, or perhaps it can also be understood as correlation, so we will subconsciously approach the main characters in this story, and with the intersection of the two sides, there are indeed causal points, but this can't explain why just one battle will produce more than 40 causal points." So I think we got it wrong in the first place. ”

"What do you mean?" Tang Hao frowned, not understanding.

Youzhu picked up a book, "I re-read the previous part just now, that is, the battle between Shana and the hunter, in it, Shana defeated the hunter and obtained some of the treasures that originally belonged to the hunter, and she has also gained considerable understanding and progress as a fire mist warrior, and the most important thing is ...... The relationship between her and Yuji Sakai, through this fight, allows the two to understand each other, from coldness to intimacy, presumably. ”

"Then due to our interference, the hunter was killed by Mai Trin, and all his treasures were destroyed, and several of these treasures were not only related to the life and death of Xana and Sakai Yuji in the follow-up story, but even affected the finale...... In other words, if we leave this world now, will Shana, who lacks this part of the Noble Phantasm and this part of the combat experience, still have a way to achieve victory when she encounters a new enemy? ”

"And, without the most important treasure of the [Glass Altar], will the end of this story lead to nothing?"

"I see." Tang Hao suddenly realized that in the end, it was still the word that had already been said badly - the butterfly effect.

Their actions in this battle affected a number of things that would affect the future and change the fate of all...... Just like some games, maybe it's just missing an item, or maybe it's just a word missing, and the ending you lead to may change from a perfect reunion to a BADEND.

For example, when the cicadas are crying.

Therefore, the causal point with Xana will rise sharply.

"But why hasn't Yuji Sakai's causal point changed?"

"Because the change is ahead of schedule." Yuzhu closed the book, "Although Yuji Sakai is kind, he also has great shortcomings, such as his emotional intelligence is too low, and he is a little indecisive, although I don't want to comment on the good or bad of others, but in the early part of the story, such a character does cause some unnecessary trouble." ”

"Well, I get that." Tang Hao nodded, although he didn't watch it, but in the animation, especially the relationship with a few girls, it made him look like he was stepping on two boats, constantly swaying between Xia Na and Yoshida Kazumi, and performing a scene of Xia Se album, so that it looked scummy.

Of course, in Tang Hao's opinion, this is actually not a big problem, after all, everyone is a man, if it is him...... I want them all!

"However, because of your appearance, or because of your enlightenment, his personality has changed in advance, so before this battle, he and our cause and effect points will always be above Xana, and this battle has nothing to do with him, even the matter of the zero hour fan, whether to say it or not, so his cause and effect point has not changed."

"So, what does this have to do with difficulty?"

"Of course it does." Youzhu nodded, "Because if we are using this butterfly effect pattern to generate causal points, we don't even need to have direct contact with them, as long as we do something that can affect them, such as ...... If you had enough existential power to save Hirai-san, and Xana would not have been able to cut into her existence, how many causal points would there be? ”

"I can't calculate the data, and I can't re-enact that now, but with this logic, as long as we operate it properly, we don't even need to make contact with a powerful enemy, and we can generate a lot of cause and effect points, which is the balance of difficulty."

"Hmm...... Reasonable. ”

Tang Hao pinched his chin, nodded secretly, and then his heart moved.

"Hearing you say this, I suddenly had a bold idea, since we don't need to contact Xana herself, we must be able to have a causal point with her, as long as this matter can affect her, then...... If we rob her man, will there be a lot of cause and effect? ”

Youzhu: "......"
