Pulling the sword from the ground, Stella stared intently at the location enveloped by the pillar of fire, and said calmly.

"Of course, I won't complain."

"After all, my abilities are stronger than yours in some aspects."

A slight tickle arose near his ear, and a familiar voice boomed from close range.

"It's physical strength, right, Miss Stella?"

"Finally, you've taken the bait."

Stella didn't turn her head; instead, her body scattered like flames.

"—Dark Curtain of Yin Flame."

Author's Note on Launch

Actually, I didn't want to write this this time, because it's just the author selling misery.

But on second thought, the author has indeed been quite miserable recently. The original business has no income, and now I'm basically spending my savings every month, so the novel is really the only means at the moment.

I guess this counts as being forced to go full-time?

Forget it, forget it.

Let's get back to the novel.

This time, there have been many problems from the beginning, and many things were not considered thoroughly, so everyone has seen a lot of flaws. Here, I sincerely apologize for disgusting everyone.

In the end, this is also my own forced change in writing style. I didn't know this style in the first place, but I had to force myself to write it.

If I had used the previous opening method, it wouldn't be like this now.

The results are also completely incomparable to the previous book, with at least one-third fewer collections before launch.

But there's no way, it's all my own fault.

I can only blame myself.

Now I will try to adjust the pace as much as possible. I hope this book can be written longer. (Although according to my outline, it's aimed at three million words.)

Next, let's talk about the launch.

There will definitely be a massive update on the launch day.

Everyone doesn't need to worry, it will definitely be more than 15,000 words.

As for the bounty, it will be the same as before: 100 blades, 10,000 rewards plus one chapter, posted for a week.

Then, let's talk about the update issue after the launch.

Let's base it on the first order.

If the first order exceeds 1500, 6000 words per day

If the first order exceeds 2000, 8000 words per day

If I can really get a good start on the first day, I can update 10,000 words every day (although I'm dreaming, I'll be happy if I can get 1500, but dreams should still be had.)

Thank you very much for your support, Author Huihui Yuxia respectfully presents

Chapter 060: Transformation of Shigure

"Finally, you've taken the bait."

Behind Haramura Makoto, Stella's figure appeared like a mirage, distorted by the heat.

At the same time, in front of Haramura Makoto, Stella's figure, which had been struck by Haramura Makoto's Rain Moon, disappeared in an instant like a phantom bubble.

It was like an illusion.

"—Dark Curtain of Yin Flame."

Stella softly called out the name of this Blade Art.

This is one of Stella's Blade Arts, using heat energy to refract light, thereby creating an effect similar to a mirage.

This is a series of attack patterns that Stella had designed from the beginning.

She had always been clear that even if she increased the temperature of the flames and the quality of the Flame Dragon, it would probably be difficult to deal with Haramura Makoto.

After all, just now, she had repeatedly watched the battle videos of Shinguuji Kurono that had been circulating for years.

In her opinion, as an owner of the same type of ability, even if it's not exactly the same, it should at least have some similarities.

So she formulated this attack pattern of luring the enemy deep.

Through that kind of big move that seems to consume a lot of energy, she let Haramura Makoto accelerate himself to her back, and she herself used this Blade Art to give Haramura Makoto an unexpected blow.

This is the existence known as the『Crimson Princess』.

Only those superficial people think that Stella has relied solely on her talent and her extremely large magical power from birth to now.

But isn't the current result a manifestation of Stella's efforts?

If it weren't for her diligence in developing her abilities into Blade Arts with various directions such as attack power, defense power, and bewilderment.

Then even if she had the brain to come up with such a plan, the plan would never be successfully implemented.

"Ah ah ah ah—"

In an instant, Stella mobilized almost all of her magical power, causing the flames of hell to burn turbulently, and swung a flaming fire slash, slashing fiercely towards Haramura Makoto's back.

The high temperature condensed on the sword was really distorting the surrounding space.

And facing such a blow.

"—Tenfold Speed!"

Haramura Makoto's eyes were solemn, and his two rows of white teeth were tightly clenched together. At that moment, his speed seemed to approach the sound barrier. While swinging out a fierce sound of breaking through the air, he slammed heavily against the giant sword of flames.

"—Clang!"

The scarlet blade and the red giant sword entwined with flames collided heavily, stirring up a crisp collision sound, and sparks and fire stars splashed out from the position where the sword bodies intersected.

"Bang bang bang—"

Three consecutive magic bullets were fired the instant the swords crossed.

Extremely close range, and magic bullets that had been accelerated.

Stella had no room to dodge.

"Ugh—"

Stella immediately let out a muffled groan. Even though she had already set up a high-temperature barrier in front of her, she was still impacted by the instantaneous impact, and her internal organs were rolling.

But Stella couldn't give up because of this.

She had watched Shinguuji Kurono's videos. The opponents who lost to Shinguuji Kurono were all pulled away by Shinguuji Kurono and used their abilities to play with them in the palm of their hand.

Therefore, only continuous close combat is the way to break through the man in front of her.

And just now, she had verified this guess through the sword swung from behind.

"—Dragon Tremor Kick!"

In an instant, Stella raised her slightly plump beautiful legs high, and slammed them down on the ground in front of her.

"Rumble—"

An amazing roar suddenly resounded.

"Rumble rumble..."

The entire ground was shaking violently. Even when Haramura Makoto and Shinguuji Kurono fought before, they only left shallow pits. The training ground, made of special materials, now seemed to be experiencing a magnitude ten earthquake, with Stella's feet as the epicenter, spreading the aftershocks around, causing the ground to break and collapse inch by inch.

"Uwaaaaaa—"

Exclamations of different pitches suddenly came from the stands.

It seems that this violent shaking has spread to the stands on both sides.

"—Feilong Feather Garment."

Stella waved the giant sword in her hand again, pressing forward.

The flames were like a storm, burning violently and restlessly, turning into a fiery feather weave draped over Stella's body.

This is also one of Stella's Blade Arts.

An offensive and defensive Blade Art that wraps three thousand degrees of high-temperature flames around her body, allowing attacking enemies to be severely burned by the flames, making it impossible for enemies to even approach her.

And Stella's attack is far more than that.

The intense high temperature scorched the surrounding ground, turning the entire training ground into a magma pool, turning the entire tenth training ground directly into a hellish scene.

"Seriously, that's why I said, I didn't really want to fight this fight."

"The situation is unexpectedly troublesome, and I haven't fully familiarized myself with my abilities."

Feeling the faint tingling sensation on his skin, Haramura Makoto simultaneously reached out and blocked the sword.

The other hand was holding Kuuretsu, overlapping it in an extremely abnormal posture at the position of the sword's guard.

"This move is also the first time I've used it, and I haven't verified whether it's feasible."

"So if you get hurt, don't blame me, Miss Stella."

Haramura Makoto, wrapped in the scorching flames, raised his head and looked at Stella, who was leaping into the air with a look of surprise.

His body was surging with an unprecedentedly violent magical power.

Crazy intent flowed in Haramura Makoto's eyebrows.

Or rather, it should be said that Haramura Makoto's fighting spirit seems to have been completely aroused until now.

He frantically squeezed his own magical power. Haramura Makoto, who could rank in the top ten in the world in terms of total magical power, looked no less than Stella when he erupted with magical power.

"Shigure—Transformation!"

Along with the eruption of magical power and Haramura Makoto's soft shout.

The scarlet light was like a mist that spread out, spreading to the entire battlefield in the blink of an eye, completely enveloping the red hell.

The scorching high temperature disappeared.

The burning flames stopped their swaying posture.

Even Stella, who had leaped into the high sky and was preparing to slash down, was strangely staying in mid-air, as if something had tightened her, completely fixing her body in place.

"Only five seconds, but I won."

...

Transformation of Shigure!

This is a skill that Haramura Makoto designed himself in the room yesterday, and it only exists in his imagination.

To put it a little more simply, it is to completely stimulate the time power of his Rain Moon.

Using the space ability of his Kuuretsu as a stimulus, stimulating the time power of Rain Moon, causing its power to increase by multiples, and then erupting his own magical power to control it.

After all, time and space have always been similar, two inseparable traits.

Finally, the power is scattered around like a mist, causing the surrounding space to completely enter a state of suspended time.

However, with his current magical power control ability, even if he suddenly erupted nearly half of his magical power.

He can only maintain this time-stopping power for about five seconds.

"But you lost, Miss Stella."

Haramura Makoto walked forward two steps leisurely, and then forcefully raised the sword in his hand, swinging it upwards with his backhand.

"Clang—"

Another extremely crisp sound rang out.

The scarlet blade was actually stopped between Stella's waist and abdomen.

It didn't cut open Stella's clothes as Haramura Makoto had expected, as proof of victory, but instead stopped there strangely, as if something was blocking him.
