“Hahaha… an otherworldly intruder…”
Behind the Frostarm Lawachurl, the Abyss Mage chuckled eerily, seemingly pleased with the arrival of Jia Changjiang and Jean.
The Frostarm Lawachurl, standing tall with its ice-laden arms, blocked Jia Changjiang’s powerful strike. Letting out a thunderous roar, it pounded its chest, exuding an overwhelming aura. Frost crystalized anew over its body, and the horns atop its head began to glow with a dazzling icy-blue light.
Its roar was so loud that even some residents within Mondstadt could hear it.
On the bridge, the Knights of Favonius felt the deafening sound vibrate through their bones as they turned their eyes toward the massive creature before them.
While Mondstadt had its share of Hilichurl tribes in the valleys, a monstrosity like this—frozen as though it had emerged from the heart of Dragonspine—was unheard of.
A Frostarm Lawachurl, a creature thought to dwell only in the snowbound peaks.
The beast’s roar sent a surge of morale through the Hilichurls.
“Lawa! Lawa!! Dada! Dada!!!”
Chanting fervently, the Hilichurls seemed emboldened by the presence of their chieftain, their spirits soaring as they charged at the Knights of Favonius with newfound ferocity.
“Kuzi mitono yaya zido!”
“Mi… biat yeye!!!!!!!”
The Frostarm Lawachurl’s rallying cry had filled the Hilichurls with a near-fanatical fervor, and they surged forward like a tidal wave.
But as the first wave of Hilichurls threatened to breach the Knights’ defensive line, a powerful gust of wind swept through the battlefield, hurling them back.
Underneath the Knights of Favonius, a soft green glow emanated as Jean activated her Dandelion Field, the domain of Anemo winds swirling into the form of dandelions. These winds healed and revitalized the Knights standing at the frontlines.
Jean stood at the rear of the Knights, her sword held high. The domain’s gentle breeze not only restored the wounded but also brought a sense of calm amidst the chaos.
“Do not falter!”
With her commanding presence and steady voice, Jean rallied the Knights.
Hers was a trust forged over time, built from countless small acts of leadership and courage.
As long as Jean stood with them, the Knights of Favonius had no reason to give up.
Under her guidance, the Knights’ morale surged, rivaling the fervor of their Hilichurl adversaries.
Though these Knights lacked the elite strength of the forces currently accompanying the Grand Master on his expedition, they were still the protectors of Mondstadt—the Windborne Falcon, one of the Four Winds.
“Hold the line! Let no Hilichurl cross!”
As the cries of the Hilichurls clashed with the resolve of the Knights, chaos erupted on Mondstadt’s bridge.
The Abyss Mage, watching from a distance, took note of the scene.
“As expected… this Acting Grand Master is a formidable obstacle to Mondstadt’s downfall…”
A wounded Knight found himself cornered as a Hilichurl leapt high into the air, ready to strike. But before it could land, it was caught in a sudden vortex of wind.
Lumine had arrived at the frontlines, using her Gale Blade to disperse the attacking Hilichurl and protect the Knight.
“Whoa… so many Hilichurls!” Paimon peeked nervously from behind Lumine. “Traveler, look over there! It’s Mr. Jax… we should go help him!”
“An Abyss Mage!” Lumine’s eyes locked onto the robed figure hidden among the Hilichurls. Her expression hardened with anger. “So they do hold a grudge against me, huh? Time to show them what I’m capable of!”
Raising her hand, Lumine conjured a massive whirlwind and sent it hurtling forward with a swift kick. “Scatter with the wind!”
The tempest tore through the Hilichurl ranks, carving a clear path in its wake.
Without hesitation, Lumine leapt over the Knights’ defensive line, sprinting through the gap she had created and heading straight for the Abyss Mage.
“Traveler! We should help everyone else firs—*&!#—@&!”
Paimon’s protests trailed off as Lumine charged headlong into the fray. Her bold action seemed to ignite a renewed fervor among the Knights, who redoubled their efforts.
The rising whirlwind caught Jia Changjiang’s attention.
Meanwhile, Jia Changjiang and the Frostarm Lawachurl were locked in a savage battle of strength and ferocity.
The Frostarm Lawachurl raised its enormous fists high, slamming them down with tremendous force. Ice elemental energy rippled from its arms, sending jagged spikes surging through the ground toward Jia Changjiang.
Jia Changjiang sidestepped the incoming ice, retreating slightly before hurling his battle axe at the beast’s head. The Frostarm Lawachurl intercepted it with its ice-armored fists, trapping the axe mid-swing before slamming it downward.
Jia Changjiang released his grip on the embedded axe and raised his hands, catching the Lawachurl’s colossal strike head-on. The sheer force caused the ground beneath them to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.
The intensity of their battle created a zone of utter destruction, one that even the Hilichurls dared not enter for fear of being obliterated by the two combatants.
Ripping his axe free from the Lawachurl’s icy armor, Jia Changjiang clashed with the towering creature once more.
The Frostarm Lawachurl stood as a shield before the Abyss Mage, but Jia Changjiang was equally a wall, keeping the beast from reaching the Knights of Favonius.
A creature of this caliber was far beyond what ordinary Knights could handle.
When Jia Changjiang saw Lumine rushing toward him, he assumed she had come to assist in subduing the Frostarm Lawachurl. Instead, she darted past him and the towering monster without a second glance.
What the…?
Jia Changjiang could only gape in confusion: ???
Lumine sprinted straight toward the Abyss Mage, drawing the one-handed sword Jia Changjiang had painstakingly forged for her from rare materials. Its blade, reminiscent of dragon horns, radiated a distinct Anemo energy.
“Abyss Mage! Your end is here!”
Her blade slashed against the Abyss Mage’s elemental shield, its wind-forged edge grinding down the barrier. “One of us is going down today!”
“How dare you look down on me? I’m super strong!” Lumine shouted furiously, pouring her strength into the attack.
