Lumine’s face was full of confusion. “Who is he? And… who are you?”
Paimon, clinging tightly to Lumine’s back, nervously whispered, “Whose voice was that?”
Before they could even process the situation, the source of the mysterious voice—and the person who had startled it—made themselves known.
A black-haired man dressed in Mondstadt attire soared through the stormy winds on a pair of Wind Gliders strapped to his back. His booming laughter filled the skies.
“Hahahahaha! Stormterror! I’m here to bring you down!”
The man, Jia Changjiang, manipulated his Wind Gliders with precision, riding the howling gusts toward Stormterror. Each updraft carried him closer to the massive dragon.
Watching from afar, Venti stood frozen in place, momentarily stunned.
Why is Jia Changjiang up there too? he thought. He did say he wanted to take down Dvalin before he even arrived in Mondstadt, but I didn’t think he’d show up like this!
Despite his surprise, Venti quickly adjusted to the situation and offered his aid.
“Warrior and Traveler!”
The voices of Lumine and Jia Changjiang were filled with Venti’s soothing tone.
“I shall grant you the winds of the heavens. Now… the battle is in your hands.”
Lumine barely had time to process what was happening, but Jia Changjiang immediately noticed a change. His body felt lighter, and controlling the Wind Gliders became significantly easier. Even his battle axe began to shimmer with a faint wind aura.
Not only that, Jia Changjiang felt something unexpected in his arms.
Reaching into his chest pocket, he pulled out… a book?
[Skyward Atlas]
-
Rating: ★★★★★
-
Description: A sacred tome written by nameless worshipers of the wind, revered for millennia. Imbued with the blessings of Anemo, it carries both faith and power.
-
Ability: Boundless Favor—Increases movement speed and enhances elemental attacks over time.
Jia Changjiang was dumbfounded. “A magic catalyst? What’s the point of giving this to me? I don’t even have a Vision for elemental attacks!”
Then he paused, glancing at his battle axe.
[Eikathos Axe]
-
Status: Enchanted with Anemo.
“Ah… now I get it!”
A grin spread across his face as an idea struck him.
Before Stormterror could launch its next attack, Jia Changjiang rummaged through his inventory system and pulled out a long, heavy iron chain. It was something he’d picked up from a routine mission—a sturdy item with no apparent use, until now.
With the chain, he firmly lashed the Skyward Atlas to the blade of his battle axe. After securing it tightly, he wrapped the other end of the chain around his left wrist, gripping the axe in his right hand.
The Skyward Atlas + Battle Axe + Chains = A Wind-Enhanced Meteor Hammer!
“Today, this wind-infused meteor hammer is going to crush Stormterror!”
“Hey, girl! And the emergency food over there!”
Jia Changjiang shouted to Lumine and Paimon as he flew toward the dragon.
“I’ll charge in from the front! You handle the firepower from behind!”
“Huh?”
Lumine tilted her head, still confused, though she noticed she could now channel wind into concentrated projectiles.
“Wow, what a weird old guy…”
Paimon peered out from behind Lumine, muttering her complaint.
“And who are you, anyway?”
Lumine squinted at Jia Changjiang, her curiosity outweighing her hesitation.
“Is now really the time for introductions?!” Jia Changjiang shot back, pointing at the oncoming dragon. “If you don’t help, I’ll just take this Stormterror down myself!”
As Stormterror loomed closer, Jia Changjiang didn’t hesitate. He surged toward the dragon, entirely unafraid.
This boldness caught Lumine’s attention.
“Paimon, are all people in this world so fearless when it comes to dragons?”
“How could they be?! That guy’s just crazy!”
“Traveler! Come on! We can’t just stand here!”
“Ugh, what a pain… Didn’t he say he’d handle it alone?”
“This isn’t the time to be lazy!”
“Alright, alright… I’m going.”
Lumine sighed but ultimately followed Jia Changjiang.
Stormterror fixed its piercing gaze on the two figures in the air. With a deafening roar, the dragon unleashed a torrent of Anemo breath in their direction.
“Bring it on!!!!”
Even in midair, Jia Changjiang faced the attack head-on, unyielding. Swinging his meteor hammer in wide arcs above his head, he created a vortex of wind and force.
The Wind Gliders on his back groaned under the strain of his movements, barely holding together thanks to Venti’s blessing.
The dragon’s breath, capable of obliterating most obstacles, dissolved harmlessly against the spiraling winds of Jia Changjiang’s weapon.
Stormterror, initially dismissive of the human duo, reevaluated as the battle raged on. Neither opponent bore a Vision, yet their presence was formidable.
As the dragon closed in, Jia Changjiang’s exhilarated grin grew wider.
The moment Stormterror entered the range of his chain, he struck.
With a mighty swing, the meteor hammer smashed into the dragon’s jaw.
The sheer force sent shockwaves rippling through the air. Stormterror’s massive body reeled back, its head snapping upward as if struck by an enormous uppercut.
In Mondstadt below, the citizens watched the spectacle in awe.
A lone figure, dwarfed by the size of the dragon, had delivered a blow powerful enough to make the mighty beast falter.
For a moment, the city fell silent, save for the echoes of the impact.
“ROOOOOAAAAARRRR!!!!”
Stormterror’s furious roar shattered the quiet. The cursed dragon’s rage now consumed it entirely.
But before it could retaliate, its focus was diverted by a barrage of wind projectiles pelting its face.
Lumine, hovering nearby, had unleashed a storm of wind bullets.
Distracted by the assault, the dragon didn’t notice Jia Changjiang climbing onto its back.
“Stormterror…”
Dvalin’s ear twitched as it registered Jia Changjiang’s voice.
“Let’s settle this in the skies!”
With a thunderous pull, Jia Changjiang looped his unbreakable chain under the dragon’s neck, tightening it in one decisive motion.
“ROAAAAARRRR!!!!”
The enraged dragon’s cry echoed through the heavens.
