The Reincarnation Room
Do You Believe Me?

Hecate lifted Trigon up and gathered the rich Power of Existence until it formed a ball of light. He then shot the ball of light which then split into many small balls and shot like a meteor shower into the sky quickly.

"Dana!" shouted Alastor.

"I know."

Shana was clearly aware of the threat that was behind her. Under Alastor's warning, Shana zigzags, trying to dodge all the attacks that come at her.

A laser-like beam of light suddenly flashed through the air, rubbing Shana's body and flying upwards with a sharp sound splitting the sky.

With her speed, Shana managed to dodge all of Hecate's attacks without any injuries. He continued to fly upwards trying to reach the blue sky.

However, all of a sudden, in front of Shana appeared an iron chain forming a barrier net that tried to stop Shana's pace.

This certainly makes Shana stop for a moment. At the same time, a tall figure jumped up high and appeared above Shana's head.

"Because we've come, then stay here!"

Sydonay swung the heavy steel spear with a gentle breeze towards Shana.

Seeing this, Shana wanted to use Nietono no Shana to block the attack. But, Ryan who was in Shana's arms said in a weak voice, "You won't be able to stop it."

Shana's burning eyes narrowed, and without hesitation dispelled the intention to block it. He instantly flapped the Wings of Crimson on his back and moved to the side.

Booms

The heavy steel spear fell down and hit empty space as if it hit the ground surface. The blow caused a sonic boom, as well as triggering a terrifying wind flow and throwing it away.

Although Shaan managed to dodge, but a strong sonic wave hit his body and made Shana's body fly bouncing.

This made Shana's expression change. "How could that person possibly be so strong?!"

Previously, Shana had fought with Sydonay and suffered a crushing defeat in Misaki City. All of that happened at a time when Shana was still not good at mastering her power. Therefore, Shana knows very well how strong Sydonay is.

However, at this moment, in the face of Sydonay's attack, Shana who had managed to dodge was still severely affected by the attack.

Compared to their previous fight, Shana could feel the power Sydonay used at the time in Misaki city and here was very different, completely like earth and sky. This leaves Shana completely stunned.

Of course, Shana did not know, that back then, Sydonay did not use his full strength. He also did not use his Treasure Tool (Hogu)–Shintetsu Nyoi.

Today, however, Sydonay is performing at his full strength, which is certainly very strong. Even in this day and age, no one can match him. Only three Crimson Realm Gods could defeat him, including the Great Leader–Snake of Festival.

Shana, who was still in the study of becoming the Flame Haze, certainly could not utilize the full power of Alastor, who was a God of Punishment.

"Stay there!"

Sydonay held the steel spear tightly, and fired it like a cannonball making the air around his body explode, triggering a strong wind wave.

Seeing this scene, Shana knew that she would never be able to win against Sydonay at this moment. If Shana forced to fight, she would definitely lose her life. The Sydonay that was in front of him right now was too powerful many times over compared to before.

Although Shana does not want to fight Sydonay, that does not mean Shana can escape easily.

Clang Clangs

In a burst of impact sounds, golden-colored fire chains came towards Shana.

Before long, Bel Peol's calm voice rang out, "Can capture the Flame Haze of the God of Punishment, this is definitely an unintentional luck. You will stay with Reiji Maigo owner here!”

During the talk, the Treasure Tool (Hogu) in the form of a chain of golden flames one by one merged to form a capture net, which directly blocked all the running directions of Shana and left only the direction of Sydonay's spear.

Ryan's voice came back. "Blow up your fire! Hurry along!"

Hearing the order, without a second thought, Shana immediately detonated a red lotus fire that burned her entire body.

BOOMING

In a thunder-like explosive roar, the red lotus flames turned into an explosion that shook space.

"What?!" Sydonay didn't expect Shana to do something like this. Nor could he ignore the flames of the legendary God of Punishment contractor. So Sydonay chose to withdraw.

Inside the center of the explosion, Ryan and Shana were taking refuge inside a barrier shield that blocked all the effects of the explosion. That is the power of Ryan's Azure ring.

Inside the barrier shield, Ryan said, "Shana, do you believe me?"

Shana was shocked at this very sudden question.

"believe it?"

It seems that Shana is still confused by Ryan's question. He had absolutely no understanding of Ryan's question's relationship to the current situation.

Faced with Shana's attitude like that, Ryan said nothing more. After a moment of silence, Ryan pointed a gun at Shana's forehead.

As soon as the cold touch of the muzzle of the gun reached his forehead, Shana's expression completely froze, even the blazing flames in his eyes became stiff. "Eh?"

The gun was white and looked very old.

"Trigger Happy?" muttered Alastor from the pendant in a surprised tone.

Yes, the gun pointed at Ryan is Trigger Happy, a Treasure Tool (Hogu) that is very proud of Friagne before.

The gun was able to awaken the Crimson Lord sleeping within the Flame Haze by destroying its Contractor container. Destroying the container was the same as killing the Flame Haze.

Now, the gun that became the Flame Haze's natural enemy was in Ryan's hands, and was being pointed at Shana's head.

In such conditions, Shana raised her eyes and could clearly see Ryan's extremely calm, but also warm expression. If someone else saw him, they would definitely think Ryan was a very cold and cruel person.

After Shana calmed down, she reached out and held Trigger Happy's barrel on her forehead. However, Shana did not remove the gun from her forehead. He held the cold gun tightly, staring at Ryan.

Steadily, Shana said, "Shoot."

Shana hasn't answered Ryan's questions before. However, these short words seemed to instantly reveal Shana's heart.

"Thank you .." whispered Ryan softly.

Shortly after, without hesitation, Ryan pulled the trigger.
