Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 4: I Am the Lord of Cinders


This person is very strange.

When Su Ziyu looked at him, all he saw was an empty shell. The presence of a soul was faint, almost indistinct, a state he couldn't understand at the moment.

Do you want to take my head?

Why does he call me an unknown king?

Did I overlook something?

Hawkwood of Farron?

Farron should be a place name, right? Hawkwood is probably this person's name?

What are unkindled ashes?

There's no detailed record in the library? Seems like it's a kind of undead?

"Why do you want my head?" Su Ziyu frowned, placing his hand on the sword hilt, watching the man approaching him step by step. There was a strong killing intent emanating from the opponent, clearly a seasoned warrior experienced in countless battles.

But with just that, it's not enough to defeat the current Su Ziyu.

He has faced many enemies, even confronting some indescribable horrors!

As Hawkwood approached step by step, he seemed uninterested in continuing the conversation. His gaze was firm. When the distance closed to about thirty meters, he suddenly accelerated, his actions quick and agile. At about fifteen meters, he suddenly leaped, swinging the great sword that glowed faintly with fire in a powerful downward strike.

Boom!

The ground cracked, and the hard stone slabs turned into powder.

Hmm.

This guy is really strong.

Su Ziyu slightly shifted his steps, moved half a step to the side to dodge, his hand still on the sword hilt, just tilting his head to scrutinize the opponent. He was curious about where this person's soul had gone.

Or perhaps where it was hidden?

Why is the soul almost gone? He appears quite sane?

The wind howled.

Sparks spread little by little.

After the heavy strike missed, Hawkwood's expression was slightly amazed, but he quickly swept his sword in a wide 180-degree arc. The exploded sparks slightly obscured his vision. When he tried to find Su Ziyu's trace again, he suddenly found his great sword had become slightly heavier. As his gaze moved, his pupils involuntarily shrank when he saw the man standing on his sword blade.

"Are you undead?"

"Do you think such skills can take my head?" Su Ziyu floated back while the opponent swung the sword, gliding ten meters in low air before landing, and said slowly, "Who sent you?"

"How does he know I'm here?"

"No."

"I should ask, how does he know of my existence? Why does he want my head?"

Bang.

Hawkwood gritted his teeth, swinging the great sword to strike again. This time he seemed to have hit the target, but he quickly realized he had only struck a phantom. A heavy stone pillar as thick as a waist was directly cut in half by him, and Su Ziyu's figure appeared several meters away, looking relaxed as if strolling casually.

"Is this the strength of a Lord of Cinder?"

This Hawkwood from Farron seemed to have suffered a significant blow. His hands holding the great sword slightly trembled as he muttered, "Hehe! Ridiculous!..."

"How can us unkindled ashes possibly defeat the mighty Lord of Cinder?"

Lord of Cinder?

Upon hearing the opponent's muttering, Su Ziyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Unknown king?

Lord of Cinder?

Wait!

Am I a Lord of Cinder?

What the heck!

Having just gone through the library materials, Su Ziyu certainly knows what the term 'Lord of Cinder' signifies. Simply put, it is a humanoid kindling, a sacrifice specially prepared for the Fire Transmission Ceremony, burning the Lord of Cinder to replenish the power of the First Flame, thus achieving the purpose of continuing the age of fire.

The guy who called himself 'Hawkwood of Farron' came to hunt him as an undead, and his purpose is to take his head back as kindling for the Fire Transmission Ceremony!

What's going wrong here?

Why did I become their so-called Lord of Cinder as soon as I entered this world?

The Space-Time Monitor System encountered an anomaly when entering, presumably related to his identity as a Lord of Cinder now.

Wait.

Could it be the plane consciousness?

Has the general consciousness of this plane gone mad with hunger? Actually listed him as a Lord of Cinder?

Countless thoughts flashed in Su Ziyu's mind. After gaining some understanding of this world, he vaguely guessed something amidst the scattered information.

That is, he is too strong.

But not strong enough.

Because Su Ziyu has already entered the Legendary Domain and accumulated a portion of Divinity Value. When entering this world, he became a target, most likely the general consciousness of the plane or something else saw him as sustenance, that is, the necessary Lord of Cinder for the Fire Transmission Ceremony. That entity most likely desires the Divine Power on him, even locking onto him as soon as he entered, directly using the Plane Law's power to partially assimilate him.

That's why Su Ziyu woke up in the coffin this time.

That's why when Su Ziyu woke up, he heard the eerie sound of the bell.

He is a Lord of Cinder!

For the necessary kindling to continue the age of fire, the unknown entity that marked him as a Lord of Cinder, even through some kind of power or a special force, is targetting and hunting him, aiming to throw him into the First Flame to be burned.

Or perhaps devour is a more suitable term.
