I will swear to protect the beauty with my life

Chapter 957 Excessive Water? Is it considered water? Probably not.

Dark Flame Dragon's reaction was swift enough; it had already transformed before Fang Wuwei's fist came hurtling through the air. However, the punch was too fast and too powerful, and Dark Flame Dragon God had no time to make a proper defense. It could only hastily cross its arms to block the punch.

The fist, imbued with the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, slammed into the Dark Flame Dragon God's hastily crossed arms, instantly unleashing a massive heatwave.

The Dark Flame Dragon God groaned, feeling intense burning pain and the cracking sound of bones breaking through his arms. The expensive carpet beneath his feet instantly carbonized, and the wooden floor cracked and turned black.

Then, Fang Wuwei's eyes flickered, locking onto the window that had already melted a hole. He took another step forward, twisted his waist, and launched his arm again. The crimson divine fire on his fist erupted all at once, shooting out a pillar of fire that pushed the Dark Flame Dragon God away from the Tu Shou family's manor.

But after that, Fang Wuwei made no further moves. He did not rush to kill the Dark Flame Dragon God. He stood with his fists clenched, and the crimson divine fire around him slowly receded. His eyes, which belonged to Fang Wuwei but were now burning with a different will, began to look around with curiosity and a long-lost sense of novelty.

"you......"

Fang Wuwei suddenly appeared before them, then suddenly punched the Dark Flame Dragon away, and now suddenly calmed down. This sudden change, full of twists and turns, left everyone present somewhat bewildered.

But everyone had clearly heard the name Dark Flame Dragon shouted in his desperation, and seeing the current scene, they quickly understood...

"Vulcan Sammer!?"

A terrifying thought immediately appeared in everyone's minds and kept swirling around... Fang Wuwei failed to seize the position of the God of Fire, and was instead possessed by the God of Fire, Sammer, who took over his body.

The former Vulcan Sammer is now possessing Fang Wuwei's body and is present in the world.

Maki Ikeuchi was the first to react. Alarm bells rang in her mind. Ignoring her injuries, she kicked off and charged out from under Dansuke's grasp, reaching out to grab Sammer, even if it was just a wisp of his clothing.

However, the difference in combat power between the two sides is undeniable. Leaving aside the fact that Sammer is a veteran Vulcan, and Maki Ikeuchi is no different from a child in his eyes, Sammer has taken over Fang Wuwei's body and is currently in a fully-powered divine state...

The numbers are what they are; there's no way to change them.

Sammer was still surveying his surroundings when he caught a glimpse of Maki Ikeuchi approaching out of the corner of his eye. He didn't even look directly at her; he simply raised his left hand and pointed at the approaching figure. Immediately, several tongues of fire shot out from beneath his feet, solidifying and rapidly advancing into several agile, python-like chains of fire that precisely bound Ikeuchi's limbs and waist, effectively suspending her in mid-air.

Maki Ikeuchi's intact hand was still outstretched, just a few steps away from Sammer's body, but she could no longer move forward.

"Calm down, I..."

Sammer's eyes flickered, and he saw Maki Ikeuchi's bloodied right hand. He seemed to want to say something, but before he could finish speaking, Maki Ikeuchi's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a burst of magical power erupted from her body, instantly transforming her into a demon. She shattered all the flames that were binding her, and then with a flick of her wrist, the Storm Cutter appeared in her hand. She swung it heavily, aiming directly at Sammer's neck, intending to decapitate him with a single blow.

Although the body before her was that of her master, Maki Ikeuchi understood that things were very different inside. The body now occupied by her was occupied by an enemy. Rather than leaving this body controlled by the enemy to threaten everyone, it would be better to kill her master along with him and take him to the organization to be resurrected. Either way, it would be much better than leaving Sammer here!

Maki Ikeuchi's decisiveness and ruthlessness even seemed to momentarily freeze Summer, who watched helplessly as Maki Ikeuchi's blade came hurtling down—

A flash of cold light, a whistling sound, and Maki Ikeuchi's sword pierced straight through Fang Wuwei's neck. Fang Wuwei's head flew off immediately and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Everything went as smoothly as Maki Ikeuchi had imagined, and she beheaded him with a single stroke.

Everything happened so fast that the others didn't even have time to react. It wasn't until Maki Ikeuchi stepped back, deactivated her demon form, and returned to their side that they snapped out of their daze.

The once imposing Sammer was now reduced to a headless body standing silently.

However, upon seeing this, Maki Ikeuchi did not feel relieved at all; instead, her face darkened considerably, and she looked extremely wary.

Because the headless body was still standing upright, not only did it not fall down, but it also did not bleed. Even more strangely, the headless body turned slightly, turning its "front" towards Maki Ikeuchi... If the head were still there, Sammer would definitely be looking back at her at this moment.

"Korahiro?!"

"A great sage?!"

"this......"

"Don't go over there!"

Zhangye and the others were stunned by what they saw. They never imagined that Ikeuchi Maki could be so ruthless in attacking Fang Wuwei.

Everyone, including Matsuo, wanted to do something, but they were all too weak. They had neither combat ability nor combat experience. The only one who might be of use, Nibuya, had not adjusted his mindset. Right now, the only one who could stand in front of Sammer was Maki Ikeuchi.

Her brother was knocked away and his fate was unknown; her lover was possessed and beheaded. Zhang Ye's heart was broken, and her vision was going black, but she was stopped by Ikeuchi Maki.

Maki Ikeuchi gasped sharply and stood in front of everyone, her right hand still throbbing with excruciating pain that reached her very core. The pain was so intense that she began to consider chopping off her hand to stop the pain.

Sammer remained motionless, standing there quietly. Maki Ikeuchi stared intently at him, fearing he might make a move, having already prepared for the worst.

She had already planned it out. If Sammer made any offensive move, she would rush in and use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take Sammer down with her. She would delay him for as long as possible, and if necessary, they would all perish together. No one else could be hurt.

In her gaze, crimson divine fire suddenly erupted from the severed neck of Sammer, then surged and rose up, instantly reforming. In a short moment, Fang Wuwei's intact head was reborn in the flames, now staring at Ikeuchi Maki, looking as if he had never been injured at all.

The severed head turned into pure flames and vanished with a soft "poof".

Upon seeing this, Maki Ikeuchi's pupils suddenly contracted, and she even had a slight thought of retreating, taking a small step back. However, she quickly gritted her teeth and rallied her will again.

She was prepared to die in battle; even Fang Wuwei had been defeated, so she never thought she could win.

"There's no need to panic. I have no hostility towards you."

Sammer spoke slowly, his gaze falling on Maki Ikeuchi's charred right hand. His face was calm, but acting under Fang Wuwei's guise gave off an eerie and unsettling feeling no matter how you looked at it.

Then, with a slight lift of his arm, Maki Ikeuchi's severely injured right hand suddenly burst into a crimson divine fire without warning.

"Varied......!"

"Don't be afraid, this is healing."

Maki Ikeuchi was about to breathe on Summer in response to the shock and take him away, but what he said next made Maki Ikeuchi's mind go blank.

Amidst intense doubt, Maki Ikeuchi subconsciously calmed down to feel it, and sure enough, she found that the pain in her hand was getting lighter and lighter. The charred skin peeled off in the divine fire, revealing the new, smooth flesh underneath, and the cracked wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The descendants of Tuolup... focusing on the continuation of a family line is indeed effective; after so much time, the bloodline is still being passed down..."

Sammer looked at Maki Ikeuchi and sighed softly. At the same time, the flames on Maki Ikeuchi's hands went out, revealing her smooth, white hands that were completely unharmed and without any marks.

Sammer's gaze slowly swept over everyone in the living room: Campanula, Rikka, Nibutani, Dekomori and his daughter, Shichimiya Satone... Magic flowed within each of them. Although, apart from Maki Ikeuchi and Nibutani, the magic of the others was pitifully weak, the magic was still being passed down, only much weaker.

Thinking this, Summer looked up again at the luxurious chandelier on the ceiling and the various technological products around it, which had no magic power whatsoever, yet still functioned as before.

Electricity... It seems that humans nowadays rely more on technology, with many technologies that He doesn't recognize, no longer depending on magic, gods, or faith. Thinking of this, a sense of relief appeared in Sammer's eyes.

Humans can thrive even without gods, perhaps even better than in ancient times... Dark Flame Dragon was absolutely right back then...

Humanity has forged its own path, and an indescribable sense of relief, mixed with the vicissitudes brought by millions of years, welled up in Sammer's heart.

"Don't worry, I only need five minutes. After five minutes, this body, this new Vulcan, will be returned to you in perfect condition."

With that, Sammer sighed heavily, turned to look at the night sky, his eyes gleaming and his gaze sharp as he saw the Dark Flame Dragon God recovering his magic power in the far distance. The calmness and relief in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by hatred.

"I just wanted to beat him up; it was something we agreed on."
