Chapter 3: Steer

The fiery red longsword floated in the air, the blade swirling with radioactive flames. The moist air around him instantly became dry and stuffy. The hot air rushed at Li Cheng's nerves. He was too familiar with the shape of this sword. He had thought about drawing the sword's owner, Stiller, countless times.

In addition, he had clearly heard the words "Levantine!" This was probably the famous Sister 42.

According to the game files that he knew, he had never heard of Schertel coming to Sargon. Li Cheng pondered for a moment and was a little confused.

"Oh! What the hell is this!"

"It looks very powerful. Why don't we fight it?"

The two crocodiles looked at the Tiakau warrior in shock and muttered in Sargon.

"Uh…fight with a sword?"

"Didn't you see that the warrior was defeated in one strike? We definitely can't beat them!" One of the crocodiles questioned in disagreement.

"Heh, that might not be the case! The patriarch told us that Tiakau and Tiakau cannot be treated the same way." The other was very calm.

" I heard that Zuma of the Forest Boa Tribe broke a hundred trees with a single punch when he was extremely angry!"

"Huh? And I punched through Akahura!"

Seeing the two crocodiles muttering to each other, Li Cheng was a little conflicted about whether she should take advantage of their attention being attracted by the Inferno Demonic Sword and leave quickly.

But in the end, because he wanted to see Stiller with his own eyes, he endured it.

"Aren't you guys too relaxed…?" A figure slowly walked over from behind the demonic sword. He had long, fiery red hair and was dressed in a plain and exquisite black outfit. His body was also surrounded by terrifying heat and flames, but what was different from his impression was that his voice was a little childish.

"Eh?" When Li Cheng saw who it was, she felt a little strange. This Sister 42 seemed a little different.

The temperament of the person in front of him…It was slightly different from what he had imagined.

The two little black horns on his head stood stubbornly, but it only made him look more lively and did not give off too much of an oppressive feeling.

The cold female voice did not have a trace of emotion. The only thing that made Li Cheng certain was that this was definitely Shertel.

After all, he could not mistake the Inferno Demonic Sword for something else. Moreover, it was different from the two crocodiles. He could understand what she was saying, but he did not know why.

"You two are blocking the way. Get lost." Not far away, Schertel glanced at the two crocodiles with no interest and said lightly.

Li Cheng thought for a moment and quickly moved between the two groups of people.

However, they didn't seem to understand what he was saying.

The two crocodiles looked at each other and charged over with their spears raised. This made Li Cheng unable to help but worry.

" You're asking for trouble." Steer lowered her eyes, and the area around her became even brighter. It seemed like it was about to explode. She moved her mouth and muttered softly." You're asking for trouble."

The demonic sword moved in response, drawing a fiery red trajectory in the air. The flaming sword qi formed a large fireball in the air.

Boom! The scorching rain of fire plowed the red soil in front of him. More than three meters of soil and dust flew out and splattered all over Li Cheng's body. He could not help but cough.

The raging fire quickly burned nearby. The billowing smoke and dust made Li Cheng feel that something was wrong. How could the flammable rainforest withstand such a level of fire? It was directly ignited by the sparks. The fire was fierce and looked like it was about to start a prairie fire.

"F * ck, f * ck, f * ck…Sister 42, you don't have to do this! Do you need to use your skills to fight two monsters?" Li Cheng couldn't sit still anymore. She shouted at Shelter and quickly got up to escape the open fire area, trying to get close to Shelter.

The two crocodiles had been sent flying far away by the impact of the fireball and fell to the ground. It was unknown if they were dead or alive. Even without the fireball landing on the two of them, it was already so powerful.

Because of the increasingly unbearable heat, he did not dare to get closer. He could only wave at Stellar, who was close at hand. Li Cheng was a little anxious. The thick black smoke choked him so much that he could barely open his eyes.

The voice made Steele turn his head and look at Li Cheng strangely. It was only then that she noticed this strange stranger.

She stretched out a hand, and all the burning flames nearby flowed to her palm. A thick fireball gathered on her slightly tender palm, and the light was as dazzling as the sun.

She casually pinched the flame and retracted it. The surrounding temperature gradually dropped. Soon, only the burnt remains were left. The scorched black ground was only left with black charcoal.

The thick smoke dispersed, leaving only the two of them looking at each other in dismay.

The Sakarzi girl in front of him sized him up with a puzzled gaze. She did not put away the Inferno Magic Sword, and it still had a threatening red light, as if she was silently considering the danger of this strange man.

“...... Hello." Cheng felt a little awkward.

"Who are you?" Stellar sized him up carefully. He took a few more glances at Li Cheng's strange outfit and the pair of slippers on her feet. The corners of his mouth could not help but tremble a few times.

"You are not a native of this place."

"How do you know I'm not?" Cheng scratched her head.

" What a strange person." Steele was a little impatient. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He looked obviously unhappy. After saying that, the Sakarzi girl turned around and left. The Inferno Magic Sword in the air naturally fell into her small hand.

When Li Cheng saw this, she felt like she was about to break down. He felt that he had to at least stay by her side. Otherwise, he would be killed by the unfamiliar environment, especially those aggressive crocodiles.

She had to cling onto this thigh. Li Cheng thought about it and came up with an idea.

"Steer, you're going to travel around the world, right?" Li Cheng quickly shouted.

Surprise flashed across Stellar's eyes. He turned to look at Li Cheng. There was a hint of doubt in his tone." How did you know I was going to travel around the world?"

" I have the ability to predict the future." Li Cheng smiled and looked down at Sakarz with her hands on her hips.

His words sounded mysterious, and Shierter felt strange. However, this was not a big deal. There were many unknown people in the Land of Tyla, so it was normal for them to know some bizarre Source Stone techniques.

" What?" Li Cheng narrowed her eyes and carefully sized up the stunned Stiller." You don't believe me?"

"You actually rely on that sword in your hand to fight, right? That's actually the staff you use to cast your Source Stone technique!"

" What kind of prediction is this?" Schertel admitted generously." You can tell, right?"

Li Cheng thought about it again and continued.

"You don't have any combat power, but your Origin Stone technique is stronger."

"Boring guess." Steer hesitated for a moment before he retorted resentfully.

Li Cheng couldn't help but frown." Is that so…Then tell me something that no one knows. You like ice cream, right?"

“......?!”" I don't like desserts." The Sakarzi girl frowned, her fingers subconsciously gripping the corner of her skirt."…How could I possibly like to eat that kind of dessert?"

"Alright then," said Cheng as she held her forehead helplessly.

" So…you're looking for the source of the chaotic memories in your mind, right?" Li Cheng's tone was light as she slowly revealed the secret that had completely stunned Shelter.

"Your memories are very complicated." Li Cheng said confidently.

The corner of the Sakarzi girl's mouth trembled slightly. She was shocked. This time, she could not continue to ignore it." How do you know?"

"My name is Li Cheng. I told you, I can predict the future."
