Stepping forward to her enemy, Daria unleashed the common technique of the vermillion birds. The loud cries rang out as the fire specks began gathering in front of her palm! She was aiming to send the powerful fireball straight at Milliane.

  But is it really that powerful against her?

  Shuuu!

  As the loud cries kept ringing on, the claws of Milliane slightly spread, then clenched once again! On the powerful fireball, one could see few strips going across it! Moments later, the fireball exploded which shocked Daria.

  So easy!

  She had done it so easily! Furthermore, Milliane wasn't even thinking about Daria as a real opponent! As wings unfolded themselves behind her back, the bolder lady appeared in front of Daria effortlessly grabbing her head.

  "I understand shit out from your words, but for looking at me with such eyes, I surely don't mind burning up that face of yours."

  "N-no!"

  The one who shouted was Guri! If Milliane truly burned up the face of her sibling, then even Xue Ren himself would have problems healing such wounds! He felt bad for his sister, but from all this training, was his sister truly not being able to deal with even one attack of Milliane?

  Of course not!

  "Hmm?"

  The floating specks suddenly become a little painful! It was a little, but Milliane already had seen Xue Ren going against the norms, punching and surviving through the flames! She took wary position which was good choice as soon enough, the powerful fan of feathers swept from below!

  This one was truly a strong one!

  Milliane could feel the incoming danger, her body exploding with more fire, thus, cloating herself in the fire aura that was tangible indeed. This fire aura slowly began burning more of Daria's skin, but the lady already let out the powerful attack.

  Her hands clenched Milliane's arm strongly, then with the incoming fan of flame feathers, the lady had successfuly distanced herself from the stronger individual!

  Even so, Daria didn't hope to just retreat after one contact.

  "Haaa!"

  Her body yet again sprinted forward, however, this time, she had quite a lot feather from from the aura of the vermillion bird! Daria spun her feathers around her arms as if dancing! It ended up forming a small fire tornado!

  Within this very tornado, Daria desperately did her best to connect few punches. Her face was looking very pained though! All because Milliane not only defended herself, but attacked back with more strength!

  She didn't even need to use technique to have feathers around her arms.

  The fire and body was all she need!

  Being treated like a punching bag, Daria had her mind slowly running away from the battle. Instead, she was thinking about the main reason for her 'brave' stand up. Of course, she hoped to reach the main volcano and meet her family.

  However, more importantly, after all these year of pitiful training, the lady finally felt happy.

  'I was happy because of Mr. Xue Ren……'

  Finally!

  Swallowed by the flames of Milliane, Daria's mind was full of Xue Ren's word. His words telling her about his goal to become the vermillion bird, the pure vermillion bird! He was so sure back then, and now, she understood why!

  The happiness of being with him also got understood. The lady locked her eyes on Milliane and stopped using her own techniques! The man was the source of her all recent happiness, so in order to please him and herself even more, Daria used the technique given by Xue Ren.

  The Fire Call: Vermillion Bird's Dive!

  However, the resource she used was…… her own body!

  "!"

  At this point, Milliane felt like cursing! In front of her very eyes, the flames that were belonging to her suddenly left her grasp! She totally lost the control of her own flames, looking stupefied at the sight happening in front of her.

  It was simply too astonishing sight.

  As Daria used her own body, she became the manifestation of the vermillion bird! Even the creator himself hadn't though about it! The huge vermillion bird flapped its wings as it took the huge quantity of the flames under itself.

  Just this manifestation of vermillion bird allowed Daria to dominate the flames that were hurting her highly! This sudden turn about filled Daria with new kind of emotion that she hoped to use to beat Milliane!

  Her wings fluttered yet again, going up! Like true vermillion bird, she left the huge trail of fire tails behind herself! Hovering herself in the preparation, the lady looked at Milliane who was all hot, both in appearance and powers.

  The lady was utilizing her equipment and fire techniques that caused the similar, fire tornado around her!

  Even so, Daria felt like not giving a fuck!

  She flapped her wings strongly as if having enough of this flight, descending onto the stronger lady with everything she got! During the descent, her vermillion bird body grew up so big one could only look at her!

  Soon, the two ladies met!

  Booom! Holy shit!

  "Ughhhh!"

  Upon the contact, Milliane was the first one to let out cry! It was also the first time for her to do so in the long time! Her eyes contracted as she fought hard to win over the flames! The body of stronger lady erupted seriously as well!

  Her claws holding the beak also utilized its heatness and techniques!

  It all ended up with Daria's bird body getting a lot of claws trying to cut and sink into her body!

  During the contact, every blood was simply boiling! It was forcing the ladies to go further which also evoked the most annoying memories!

  Those were the memories Milliane had seen as a kid.

  You can not call yourselves the vermillion bird race.

  It was the voice of her mother! The small Milliane was together with her sisters and brothers while listening to the words that didn't really make any sense! Just what could their mother mean by saying this?

  Everyone was the vermillion bird, right?

  Only one of you can become the vermillion bird, the pure and noble one.

  After saying this, the mother of Milliane forced everyone to spar! Because Milliane was very wild kid from the start, she had fought a lot with the siblings, but even elders of the family. That's why, she could fight the best out from her siblings.

  It all ended up with her winning! Something tha could make even the little kid proud so much!

  You are amazing, Milliane. As expected of my daughter, now, use this technique.

  What was passed down was the technique called 'Vermillion's Flight!'. The small Milliane unknowingly used this on her family members, turning them into bloodline feathers! The sight of her own sister being swallowed by the fire to turn into resource was simply too scary.

  Even so, her mother urged her to use it on everyone……

  And it wasn't really gentle…… She was forced to do it……

  Few years later, Miliane learnt the truth about molten world! She had eavesdropped at her mother talking with her father! The mother of the lady was very proud to be the vermillion bird race! However, when she learnt that this is not the truth, her whole life turned upside down.

  She solely lived to make her family's blood to be the most pure! That was the reason she used her own children as resource! It was also used to make Milliane strong and decisive……

  You want to take Milliane away?

  Yeah, I can't accept this anymore. What you are doing is sick.

  I see…… I guess your bloodline is going to increase her strength bountifully.

  Please, you can not kill me.

  Alone, yes. But what if everyone from the household aimed at you?

  You……

  Moments later, Milliane's father got killed by the elders from the family that got charmed by the mother! The already 15 years old lady could see the elders also touching her mother's body all over after that……

  At this point, Milliane changed. Using the bloodline feather from her own father, she rose in strength as quickly as possible, then killed her mother, elders…… and whole household.

  And using the noble name, she formed her own.

  The kid without any guidance…… could only aim to be the greastest ruthlessly.

  Awakening from this small reminisce, Milliane's eyes went down as she noticed the trails below! She got pushed so hard that even her equipment had few cracks already! The lady's eyes went wide as she aimed to use one of her greatest techniques!

  However, before she could do that!

  "What the fuck are you doing?!"

  Xue Ren appeared in the middle, his hand slapping Daria in her vermillion bird. He was the one who got the technique from the bloodline library, so he knew that this stupid woman is using something akin to blood ignition!

  Her body could get extinguished if she continued fighting like that!

  His slap awakened the lady intoxinated by the battle, turning her into human form yet again! Daria's body was shining with the red color, whether her skin or hair…… However, it was claer she exhausted a lot and was on the verge of killing herself.

  Within Xue Ren's embrace, the lady curled herself up and slowly spoke.

  "I am sorry."

  "Why would you go this far? She clearly stated her goals."

  "It's because I understood myself……"

  "Haaa, just don't go this far. We need to revise the technique if you want to use it by yourself."

  Daria looked at Xue Ren with her eyes shining. Though she was all drenched in sweat and exhaustion, she still mustered every bit of her remaining strength and grabbed his clothes.

  Bringing herself closer, the lady hugged Xue Ren's clothes tighlty, then muttered.

  "I love you, Mr. Xue Ren. I want to invade others with you."

  And then, she lost her consciousness.

  Xue Ren slowly ruffled the hair of the unconscious lady, his eyes gentle which can be only unique for certain ladies! He couldn't really enjoy this for a long though, because the other lady was here.

  Milliane, roughly breathing from her reminiscion and battle, had her eyes on Daria with seriousness. It's clear she put the lady highly in her 'ranking', but it was clear who was the one to put such changes in the lady's attitude.

  "She is a good lady."

  Then, he said, standing up while holding Daria like a fluffy princess.

  "I don't care. The reason I want to team up with you is to fight against other races. I am sure this is inticing for you, isn't it?"

  "It is. I was thinking of meeting other races after getting more territories tough, haha~~"

  "You can't invade others with household, but alone. I will speak more about it with you later."

  As Milliane threw some information about incoming meeting, she turned around and disappeared from the sight! Xue Ren looked at her disappearing body, then turned his attention to sleeping Daria!

  His finger unconsciously went to scratch her cheeks a little.

  "Oh, how hot."

  Looks like the lady had advanced her bloodline!
