Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!-Chapter 215 - 214 Atypical Fire Mist Warrior
Chapter 215: Chapter 214 Atypical Fire Mist Warrior
Here they come!
A fiery red Seal enveloped the entire world in an instant, stripping everything before them from reality. Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow, while Tilia smiled slightly, readying herself for battle.
At the same time, suddenly, a voice came from not far above their heads.
“You actually dare to show up here, prepare yourself, Follower of the Crimson Realm!”
Hearing this voice, Fang Zheng and Tilia looked up towards where the voice had originated, and both were taken aback.
They saw standing atop the clock at the station not far in front of them, a girl. She appeared to be about sixteen or seventeen with beautiful, waist-length silver-white hair. Her face still bore traces of youthfulness, but what drew the most attention was her attire.
...
She was dressed in a black long-sleeved shirt, with a matching short skirt decorated with ribbons and lace on the lower half, and even tights. It was possible to see a large butterfly bow waving as the girl moved. The entire style of her clothing was so exaggeratedly flamboyant, it was almost ridiculous. Furthermore, behind the girl was a large object strapped to her back, resembling a sports backpack—except from its reflective sheen, it was clearly made of metal.
There the girl stood at the top of the clock, one hand on her hip, lifting her head proudly as she gazed at Tilia.
“Disturber of world balance, destroyer of peace and serenity, Follower of the Crimson Realm! Today is the day you surrender! Even if the deities might forgive your actions, I—Nanoka Brigitte—will definitely not forgive. I stand for love and justice…”
As she spoke, the girl turned to the side, her left hand placed on her chest and her right elbow resting on the left arm, miming the act of shooting a gun at her enemy.
“…and I shall erase you!!”
“… Elder Brother?”
“…Don’t ask me, I have no idea what to say.”
Fang Zheng lowered his head, massaging his forehead as he sighed deeply. He felt he had seen many Fire Mist Warriors on his journey, but with the one before him… he just didn’t know how to react.
“Tilia, you go…”
Faced with an enemy that completely defied his expectations, Fang Zheng was lost for words. What in the world was this?
“Yes, Elder Brother.”
At Fang Zheng’s command, Tilia smiled slightly and stepped forward, looking towards the girl. Soon, as Tilia moved, an umbrella appeared in her hand.
“Indeed, you are the enemy I was destined to face.”
As Tilia approached, the expression of the opposing Fire Mist Warrior darkened slightly.

“It seems a battle between the Follower of the Crimson Realm and the Fire Mist Warrior is inevitable. This is my destiny, my duty. I must protect the balance of this world from being disrupted, so… are you prepared? Follower of the Crimson Realm! You will… wait, why can that human move within the Seal?”
“…”
As he watched the girl suddenly turn to look at him, Fang Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth.
This Fire Mist Warrior… seemed a bit dazed.
“This person is my Elder Brother.”
Confronted with the dazed-looking Fire Mist Warrior, Tilia replied with a soft smile.
“Elder Brother? But… you’re human, and she’s a… Follower of the Crimson Realm, right?”
The girl looked between Fang Zheng and Tilia, her expression hesitant and uncertain.
“The situation is a bit complicated, but she indeed is my adorable sister,” Fang Zheng finally said.
“Fire Mist Warrior, I can understand your thoughts, but I assure you, Tilia has never consumed any humans since her birth. The Power of Existence she requires has been provided by me. So she is not an enemy of humanity and won’t disrupt the world balance. Could you possibly stand down? Our arrival here wasn’t for the hunt, just for a simple journey.”
“This, this…”
Hearing this, the girl seemed even more at a loss, but after a moment of silence, she finally stomped her foot.
“No! The Follower of the Crimson Realm is the source of destruction in this world, letting her go would be a crime. As a Fire Mist Warrior charged with defending the peace and maintaining balance, I absolutely cannot tolerate evil slipping away before my eyes!”
As she spoke, the girl raised her right hand.
“Come forth, Pitch Black Battle Fang!!”
With her call, Fang Zheng saw the backpack the girl carried on her back transform into pieces of armor that swiftly unfolded. They then began to reassemble themselves upon the girl’s body, forming a massive, pitch-black mecha. Countless gears turned, emitting white steam, while the thick metal plates were guided by an invisible force to reform, gradually encasing the girl’s entire body. Even behind her, one could see something that resembled circular mechanical wings, and on either side of her thighs, a pair of vector-engine-like exhaust nozzles emerged…
Then, all at once, the girl raised her right hand. As she did, the metal on her right started reconfiguring once more, soon forming into a colossal pitch-black machine gun.
What the heck is this thing?
Upon witnessing this scene, Fang Zheng was completely stupefied.
You’re dressed like a Magical Girl, transformed into a RoboCop, and now you’re holding a machine gun, and you’re telling me you’re a Fire Mist Warrior?
What on earth is wrong with this world?!
“Come, Follower of the Crimson Realm, and let’s have ourselves a showdown…”
“Bang!!”
Before the Fire Mist Warrior could even raise her weapon and finish her sentence, Tilia had already summoned a vine and sent her flying away.
“…Tilia, you could have just let her finish transforming.”
Looking at the Fire Mist Warrior, who was now smashed into a big crater on the ground by the vine, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but complain helplessly.
“Sorry, Elder Brother, I couldn’t help myself.”
“Hmm… I guess I can understand that…”
Hearing Tilia’s response, Fang Zheng didn’t know what to say. Indeed, there is no invincible time in reality. If I were the enemy and saw you transforming, I would have definitely lashed out too… but… watching the entire transformation animation should be a matter of courtesy, right?
“Boom!!”
But before Fang Zheng could even begin to rant, a loud explosion followed, and the “transformed” girl in her Battle Armor leapt out of the big pit and soared straight into the sky.
“Sure enough, a cunning and evil Follower of the Crimson Realm, taking advantage of my distraction to launch a surprise attack. But don’t think for a moment that you can defeat me like this! Take that!”
As she spoke, the girl raised the machine gun in her hand and pulled the trigger, aiming it directly at Tilia below.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Accompanied by flashes of gunfire, bullets sped out from the barrel, turning into a storm rushing towards the enemy in front. Tilia, facing the attack of the Fire Mist Warrior, once again raised her hand, and giant petals, three to four meters tall, abruptly rose from the ground, shielding Tilia like a barrier on her side.
“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!!”
A series of flashes sparked on the petals, as the girl clenched the machine gun, relentlessly firing at her target below.
“Bang!”
Soon, a petal reached its limit, unable to withstand the subsequent assault and was torn to shreds by the bullets. The barrage of fire vomited forth from the girl’s barrel, a persistent hail of bullets bearing down with the ferocity to pierce through everything in its path, assaulting Tilia right before her.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!!”
Quickly, one petal after another exploded under the barrage, shredded to pieces. Tilia seemed to have no chance of counterattacking; she silently summoned new petals to fill the gaps, appearing as if she was utterly worn out and overwhelmed by the enemy’s attack.
“Hahaha, as expected, I knew it! Under the radiance of justice, the evil Followers of the Crimson Realm cannot stand their ground! Accept your fate!”
Watching the unfolding scene before her, the girl grew more elated, almost picturing the wretched Follower of the Crimson Realm having their defenses torn apart and then getting utterly demolished by her.
And just at that moment…
“Click, click-click.”
“Huh?”
Looking at the suddenly jammed gun barrel, the girl froze in surprise, while at the same time her bracelet emitted a sound.
“You’re out of bullets, Nanoka! Quick, reload!”
“Ah, right, I remember the spare magazine is in…”
But before the girl could finish reloading, she saw the once sealed petals suddenly disappear, and then Tilia, who was originally protected by the petals, calmly stepped forward. She smiled triumphantly towards the girl in mid-air and then raised her parasol.
“No good, get out of there, Nanoka!”
“What?”
Hearing the warning from her contracted Demon King of the Crimson Realm, Nanoka, who was just replacing the magazine, suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly tried to dodge, but alas—it was too late.
The surge of energy erupting from the tip of the parasol blasted out like a tumultuous wave, completely engulfing the Fire Mist Warrior in mid-air.
