Chapter 358

"How can she be so strong? This is the first time I've seen the Traveler fall into such a disadvantageous position." Paimon asked while stuffing her mouth with Tricolor Dango.

Raiden Makoto still held a great deal of affection for Paimon, who had indirectly saved her.

If the other party hadn't preserved a sliver of her consciousness, she would have completely perished by now.

Moreover, her past life seemed to have a very good relationship with Paimon. Now that Paimon has been affected by erosion and has become smaller, Raiden Makoto does not mind giving her some care, let alone a few snacks.

Not to mention Raiden Makoto, even if Raiden Ei knew that Paimon had snatched her snacks, she would not be angry; after all, Paimon is special.

"In these years, Ei's martial arts have improved tremendously.

The Traveler's martial arts are indeed quite good, but in the end, there is still quite a gap between her and Ei." Raiden Makoto took a sip of milk tea and explained softly.

Previously, Raiden Makoto did not like these things very much; relatively speaking, she preferred drinking tea. As for things like milk tea, she felt it was something only a child like Ei would like.

However, since being resurrected, Raiden Makoto no longer had so many concerns.

Even for food like milk tea, Raiden Makoto would try it. Perhaps the psychology of an Archon is also influenced by their appearance.

"Is that so? But I feel the Traveler's swordsmanship is already powerful enough!!" Paimon scratched her head; she herself was not known for combat techniques back then.

Great strength creating miracles—that is what describes Archons like her.

Not just Paimon, but most other Archons, and even the Seven Archons, are not very skilled in martial arts. When they fight, they rely more on their own authority.

"If we are talking about humans, the Traveler's martial arts are indeed very powerful." Raiden Makoto nodded slightly and said, "Even in the Inazuma of the past, there would be no problem at all for the Traveler to serve as a general."

Once upon a time, becoming a general in Inazuma was not something one could just do.

In that era, the number of humans who could become generals could be counted on one's fingers; most were great yokai. However, most of these great yokai perished in that catastrophe back then.

"A general?" Paimon showed a look of realization upon hearing this. Seeing that Lumine was not in any danger, Paimon began to eat heartily.

It must be said that the Tenshukaku is worthy of being the residence of the Raiden Shogun; the food here is truly delicious.

This tricolor dango is the most delicious one she has ever eaten.

"She is even stronger than before." Raiden Sakura said softly at this moment.

If one were to ask who in this world understands Raiden Ei the best, it must be Raiden Sakura.

She had also used Raiden Ei's body before, and she also mastered all of Raiden Ei's martial arts.

But now, Raiden Sakura discovered that Raiden Ei's progress compared to before—it had only been a few months—was so huge that even Raiden Sakura was stunned at this moment.

How on earth did Raiden Ei manage to do it?

Was it because of the improvement in strength, or because she ran to the Dark Sea from time to time to fight powerful enemies?

Or was it because Raiden Ei had been researching other martial arts during this time?

No, she must become stronger as soon as possible!

Raiden Sakura would not think that she was inferior to Raiden Ei; after all, they both had the same starting point.

She could lose to anyone, but she could not lose to Raiden Ei. Even though Raiden Sakura had already acknowledged Raiden Ei, she still wanted to show her own value.

"Stronger than before?" Kitsune Saiguu's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this; she also knew that Raiden Sakura was the one with the most say.

Hearing that Raiden Ei was more powerful than before, Kitsune Saiguu was also genuinely happy for Raiden Ei.

The more powerful Raiden Ei's strength was, the more secure they would be.

"Your sword-drawing method is wrong; the charging time is too long, making it easy for your opponent to see through your purpose." Raiden Ei dodged Lumine's attack very nimbly, then used the handle of her polearm to smack Lumine's backside, and said softly.

"Damn it!" Lumine gritted her teeth; at this moment, she did not know what to say.

Even Mu Yang had never struck her like this!

Although sometimes when being struck by Mu Yang, it would also swell up, but this was completely different from Raiden Ei!

o(TヘTo) Mu Yang, you dog of a man, your woman is bullying me.

Which woman are you with right now!?

"Are you giving up just like that?

If that is the case, then you are not qualified to obtain that weapon from me." Raiden Ei saw Lumine's state and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Logically speaking, Lumine's strength and swordsmanship had actually been acknowledged by Raiden Ei.

The other party's strength was indeed comparable to the generals in her mind; even in the Inazuma of the past, there were not many great yokai who could compare to Lumine.

Moreover, Lumine's swordsmanship was also quite good. If the other party unlocked more elemental power, her strength could be further improved.

By then, Lumine's strength would also become very powerful.

But if Lumine gave up just like that, then Raiden Ei would also feel disappointed in her.

"No, I haven't given up yet." Seeing Raiden Ei like this, Lumine gave a soft snort. Even though Raiden Ei was very powerful, it would not make her feel afraid.

She is the Traveler Lumine!

How could she admit defeat here?

And if she remembered correctly, Raiden Ei also seemed to be Mu Yang's woman. She could lose to others, but absolutely not to Raiden Ei.

"It seems you still have a bit of fighting spirit." Raiden Ei saw Lumine like this, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

It was as if she were examining some fun toy.

She also knew that Lumine was also Mu Yang's woman. Since she was Mu Yang's woman, how could her strength be too poor?

She needed to help Mu Yang properly teach Lumine.

Raiden Ei could see that Mu Yang thought very highly of Lumine, and in the future, she would be the kind of person who needed to be entrusted with heavy responsibilities. This was different from Seeing Seeing Keqing and Kamisato Ayaka.

For people like Kamisato Ayaka, Mu Yang seemed to only need them not to hold him back.

But she and the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata would inevitably become Mu Yang's right-hand assistants in the future.

Lumine also had such potential. Raiden Ei intended to help Mu Yang cultivate Lumine at this time...

Lumine's martial arts looked okay, but some parts were too flashy; they needed improvement!

Of course, Raiden Ei also admitted that there were many interesting things in Lumine's swordsmanship. Very good; she would absorb and improve them, and these things would then be her own.

Watching the two of them fighting again, the others at the scene also looked at each other, not knowing how long Lumine could endure Raiden Ei's mental torture.

Can Lumine take it?

One must know that those who accepted Raiden Ei's guidance back then were all driven to the verge of a mental breakdown by Raiden Ei.

Raiden Ei's guidance was certainly good; generally, after receiving her guidance, one's martial arts would indeed be greatly improved. This was something countless people dreamed of, not to mention it was Raiden Ei's guidance.

On Narukami Island, whether human or yokai, everyone believed in Raiden Ei. Being able to be taught by Raiden Ei was a great blessing.

It was indeed a good thing, but it was also torturous. Anyone who was beaten thousands of times every day would have a mental breakdown!!

Ordinary humans could not do that.

It is just unclear how far Lumine can go!

…………………………………………………

"Lord Mu Yang, this is Navia!" A few days later, Mu Yang returned to Fontaine. These past few days, Mu Yang had been recovering his state and modifying the rules of Irminsul.

Because of Mu Yang's efforts, the entire Teyvat continent had also undergone significant changes.

However, these rules could only be clearly felt by those closely related to the Teyvat continent and the fellows in the chat group.

Ordinary people really could not feel such changes.

Feeling that it was about time, Mu Yang came to Fontaine again.

He needed to recover his divine power. Fortunately, most of the powerful beings on the Teyvat continent were currently working for Mu Yang, so his power was recovering very quickly.

"Hmm!" Mu Yang examined Navia and nodded slightly. He did not know who said that Navia looked like a cockroach.

In fact, Navia still looked quite good.

"Hello." Navia looked at Mu Yang somewhat nervously.

A few days ago, Clorinde found her and said that her father had entrusted Clorinde to protect her, and also revealed some information about the Primordial Sea Water. This made Navia temporarily put aside her hatred for Clorinde and come to find Mu Yang.

For Navia, nothing was more important than finding out the truth and avenging her father.

As for the fact that Clorinde killed her father, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that during this period, Clorinde had indeed often appeared in front of her, and some troubles would be inexplicably solved.

And Clorinde said that this lord might know the situation of her father, so Navia came.

However, who exactly is this person?

Why did he know the truth about the missing girls case, and looking at him, he did not seem to be from Fontaine either.

"There is no need to be so reserved." Seeing Navia like this, Mu Yang asked Clorinde, "During this time, have you investigated anything?"
