This declaration was clearly roared, yet it was surprisingly calming...
There was no noise in the environment. The sound of chains rubbing against each other, the sound of the black mist billowing, and the sound of the Herrscher and Siegfried talking... Bianka didn't hear any of it.
Only Siegfried's words echoed in her mind.
"Bianka is the daughter I acknowledge!!"
—
Why?
In that instant, Bianka was left with only this thought...
She didn't understand, she didn't get it!
Why would Siegfried suddenly call her his daughter? Why would Siegfried so easily give such an important position to her? Why would a stranger, whose real name he had just learned, do such a thing?
Even if it was just a glimpse, Bianka could see Siegfried's clothes burning... they were really burning!
The flames were scorching Siegfried's skin, singeing his white hair, but Siegfried didn't even look at the flames, only casually patting out a cluster of flames on his collar.
From beginning to end, he was staring intently at the Herrscher, and at Bianka, who was bound by the Herrscher.
The hand holding the giant lightsaber was trembling slightly, but through the holes burned by the flames, Siegfried's arm was always in a state of tense muscles.
Why...
This question appeared in Bianka's mind again.
She had imagined what would happen after her identity was discovered.
Siegfried might stand in front of others in agitation, aiming the Star of Judgment at her... Cecilia might look at her in disbelief, with tears in her eyes, full of disappointment... Aizahár might run away in fear, throwing everything she could get her hands on at her...
The people on the streets would flee in panic, the young children would cry out loud, she would be driven away, even killed on the spot...
If it was just killing, that would be fine...
Perhaps she shouldn't have entered this town with a fluke from the beginning, she shouldn't have stayed in front of Siegfried from the beginning, she...
Perhaps she shouldn't have run away from the beginning.
Bishop Otto definitely had the ability to deal with her... she, should have long since...
"Nonsense!" The world was silent, only Siegfried's roar was deafening.
He said: "If I can't even protect the people in front of me, the people around me, how can I protect more people?"
He said: "If I was crushed to death by a train, it would be because my skills were inferior, and I would have nothing to say. But I have such an ability, if I still don't step forward, what am I?!"
He took a deep breath and tore off his burning robe in the rising flames.
"I am Siegfried Kaslana, the shield of the people, a knight loyal to the people! And today, I am protecting my daughter. I believe she will inherit my surname. From today on, she is called—"
"Bianka Kaslana!!"
At this moment... the exiled dandelion found her place to land. The nameless wind brought her name.
Bianka Ataegina Kaslana.
Flames rose from the darkness that covered the land, blooming with its own morning light like an irreversible sunrise.
And like a long meteor, every step forward would shed a part of itself, but it still had to move forward resolutely, just to turn what it had abandoned into a brilliant tail in the eyes of others.
The dark black mist that had almost enveloped the entire amusement park shot out chains representing comfort and imprisonment, blacker than the night that separated the City of Sighs from the sky! And thicker, unbreakable!
But only that cluster of flames rising from the ground was never extinguished.
With a turn of the sword, the erupting sun wheel scattered the black clouds in front. The figure of fire continued to move forward, brandishing the greatsword in his hand only for the illumination of his faith.
He wanted to shine this light into this dark world, to make everyone who had closed their eyes in the darkness open them and see the sunrise.
Chains came from all directions, wanting to drive this sun out of the night. They united with each other, forming a dragon that blotted out the sky, holding the scale representing "justice" and "righteousness," wanting to make this sun die suddenly in the long dark night.
But this dragon spewing the flames of "judgment" seemed to have forgotten one thing.
The black curtain, besides being able to cover people's hearts and block their vision, was also the best backdrop for brilliant splendor!
Even if this backward-falling meteor landed in a place no one cared about, it would still be met by the numb, hopeless gazes of those lost in the dark
Gaze is also light!
"So there will definitely be people who will follow the trajectory of that flame! There will definitely be people who will try to retrace that path! Glory will not fall, it will be reborn from the ashes after destruction! And then become a hero!"
Slay the dragon!!
Siegfried suddenly swung down the greatsword in his hand, violently splitting the dragon in front of him in half!!
Everyone was afraid of Fafnir, who had turned into a dragon, but there would always be someone who remembered that before turning into a tyrannical dragon, Fafnir was just a dwarf!
The storm of the sun blew away the enveloping black mist. The Herrscher began to retreat rapidly, wanting to escape Siegfried's explosive range. But the moment another threat came from behind, the Herrscher realized the current situation.
Looking back, behind her was a missile warhead about the size of a person. The countdown on it was scarlet and glaring, and it carried an unquestionable coldness.
The moment the Herrscher turned her head, the countdown reached zero. The Herrscher watched as the stable metal casing of the missile warhead began to expand, crack, and then form a second sun in the desert!
A small nuclear bomb!! The ultimate weapon of mankind that Siegfried had exchanged for five tons of water on the trading street!
That was the most primitive, and also the most violent destruction!
The black mist that the Herrscher had turned into would be repelled by the high temperature and strong light. When Siegfried discovered this, he had already prepared this ready-to-launch nuclear bomb.
The massive explosion of the Star of Judgment could take the Herrscher head-on, and this high-altitude nuclear bomb could completely seal off her escape route!!
Madman! Siegfried, who had come up with such a plan, was a madman!!
Even the Herrscher's mind was left with only this thought.
She didn't know how Siegfried was going to get out of this battle. She couldn't imagine how Siegfried was going to withstand the impact of the nuclear explosion!
She couldn't even understand why Siegfried could use the weapon that looked like it had "mutual destruction" written all over it so naturally!
"Why are you doing this!!" she shrieked.
"Take your questions with you, and go to hell with me!!"
And this... was Siegfried's answer.
"Let this heavenly fire—cleanse everything!!"
