Chapter 73

Lumine stared at the direction Dvalin was flying from and couldn't help but swallow: "It shouldn't be a big problem!"

Hmm, if she were in her prime, she should be able to kick Dvalin away with one foot!

A tiny storm dragon daring to show off, it's simply ridiculous.

But now, the situation seems a bit different!

With her current physical condition, the other party shouldn't be able to kill her!

"But this Stormterror is so big; we'll probably be eaten into its stomach in one bite!" Paimon said, trembling.

()~, why don't you go and eat the Stormterror!

Lumine had great trust in Paimon's appetite; with this foodie's appetite, if the Stormterror could be eaten, Paimon would probably encourage her to take Dvalin down.

"But what else can we do now? We've already taken the benefits!" Lumine gritted her teeth and looked around at the Mondstadt residents fleeing in a hurry: "And, if we run away at this time, what will happen to these commoners?"

"Don't be afraid! I will help you!" At this moment, a familiar voice rang in Lumine and Paimon's ears.

The two quickly looked over and found a man in white divine attire reaching out to them: "Traveler, please lend me a hand?"

"Lumine, don't you think this voice and this person are very familiar?" Paimon muttered in Lumine's ear.

()~, Lumine looked at Paimon speechlessly. Isn't this Venti who came to find Mu Yang that day?

Although the other party seemed a bit different and seemed to have done some disguise, Lumine said she absolutely couldn't have recognized him wrong.

So Venti was the Anemo Archon Barbatos, and that guy Mu Yang had hidden it so well!

That bastard, clearly knowing she was looking for the gods, refused to tell her the Anemo Archon's information. She even thought he would be a fellow traveler!

Mu Yang, that bastard!

And he even tricked her into fighting the Stormterror!

After this matter is over, she must take revenge!

"Get ready! I will send you into the high sky with the thousand-year flowing wind!" As Venti's voice fell, a wind field rose around Lumine, lifting Lumine and Paimon up.

Lumine quickly opened her wind glider; this was a gift from her good friend Amber, whom she had just met a while ago.

This thing was indeed very easy to use and made traveling much more convenient!

And with the help of the wind glider, Lumine successfully floated in mid-air. This scene also attracted the attention of many people.

Some even began to cheer for her.

They thought she was going to fight Dvalin head-on.

After all, facing the Stormterror, ordinary people wouldn't dare to open their wind gliders; this young girl was truly brave!

But before they could cheer for Lumine, Barbatos's figure also flew into the sky. This scene made the entire Mondstadt boil over.

"My Lord Barbatos, he has finally appeared!"

"Lord Barbatos, have you finally remembered your pious believers?"

"I said it, in such a critical moment, Lord Barbatos will always appear when we need him most!"

"Lord Barbatos has always been silently guarding Mondstadt!"

"Go for it, Lord Barbatos, kill the Stormterror!"

With the appearance of Barbatos, the residents of Mondstadt stopped running and sent their most pious cheers to Barbatos. (caei)

Just kidding, Lord Barbatos has appeared; isn't a mere Stormterror easy to handle?

Could it possibly contend with Lord Barbatos?

"Traveler, next I will pin down Dvalin outside the city, and then control the flowing wind to send you onto Dvalin's back.

As long as you destroy the poison thorns on its back and then use your special constitution to purify it, Dvalin's condition will be restored.

I'm counting on you!" Venti said to Lumine with a serious expression.

"Okay!" Lumine didn't refuse this.

It seems Venti, this guy, wasn't completely playing with her.

Since he needed her help, he should have said so earlier; why beat around the bush? Did he really think she wouldn't help?

Venti took a deep breath, his two braids emitted a lush green light, and then he flew towards Dvalin's location.

It was just that the aura he erupted with at this moment was only a notch higher than Dvalin's, but not much stronger.

"Barbatos!" Seeing Venti blocking his way, Dvalin spat a wind ball at Venti without hesitation.

And at this moment, behind Venti was the City of Mondstadt; if he dodged now, the one who would have to bear this wind ball would be the City of Mondstadt.

Venti didn't dare to dodge; otherwise, there would inevitably be heavy losses, and it would also cause a complete rift between Mondstadt and Dvalin, burying the seeds of hatred.

By then, even if Dvalin recovered, it would likely be filled with guilt.

I saw Venti take out a lyre, and as he played the strings, bursts of "breezes" were shot out by Venti, meeting Dvalin's wind ball. The two touched and dissipated, exploding in mid-air.

"This is not the place for you to vent your anger." Venti controlled the wind field and darted into the distance.

At this moment, how could Dvalin care about Mondstadt or not!?

Taking down Barbatos was the most important thing.

"Can even a breeze destroy such a terrifying wind ball?

As expected of you, Barbatos!" Looking at Venti's departing figure, Mu Yang also muttered.

On the surface, those breezes were definitely no match for Dvalin's wind ball, which was full of high-density Anemo energy, but Venti still managed to do it.

This shows that Barbatos, this guy, has mastered the wind to perfection.

It has a great style of using a thousand pounds to deflect four ounces.

"Let's follow too!" Lumine instructed Paimon, and then with the help of the wind field, flew towards the battlefield of Dvalin and Venti.

On the other side, on a cliff at least ten kilometers away from Mondstadt, the Abyss Mage and Aether were silently watching the battle between Venti and Dvalin.

"Your Highness, Her Highness the Princess seems to have participated as well!" The Abyss Mage reported tremblingly.

There was no way; as a loyal lackey, he also discovered that his own Prince was actually a sister-con.

If the Princess got scratched or bumped during the battle, wouldn't they, the planners of this operation, all be finished?

"No matter, a mere Dvalin isn't enough to hurt Lumine!" Aether snorted lightly, his words full of disdain for Dvalin.

In Aether's view, Dvalin was at most used as a war weapon, but if it wanted to participate in high-level battles, it was simply wishful thinking.

Such a dragon couldn't hurt Lumine's body.

He also saw that Barbatos was trying to use Lumine to purify the Abyssal power in Dvalin's body, but he didn't care.

A mere Dvalin, if it recovers, let it recover!

At this moment, the longer Barbatos fights, the more favorable it is for their Abyss Order's plan!

Dvalin is only fit to be bait!

Look, because of Dvalin, Barbatos doesn't dare to use his full power, worrying about hurting Dvalin, but the more such battles there are, the more Barbatos is affected by the Abyss.

Anemo Archon, you will eventually fall into the Abyss!

"It's about time to cause internal chaos in the City of Mondstadt, let Barbatos feel the pain of his country's destruction." Aether said coldly to the Abyss Mage beside him.

"Yes, your loyal subordinate will bring you a new victory." The Abyss Mage said piously.

…………………………………………………………

Inside the City of Mondstadt, the Lawrence Clan's ancestral land, the area here is large and the exterior looks luxurious, but the interior is already dilapidated.

The current Lawrence Clan can only maintain a superficial brilliance, but their essential life is far inferior to other so-called nobles, and even inferior to ordinary people.

It's not that they can't give up their status to work.

It's that even if they wanted to work, those jobs in Mondstadt wouldn't hire them!

To some extent, the Lawrence Clan has actually been forced to a dead end.

Of course, it's not that there's no way at all; in fact, they can go to other countries to live again.

Vennessa came from Natlan, and Amber's grandfather was also from Does Does Liyue.

If the people of the Lawrence Clan were willing to leave Mondstadt and start over, that would be no problem; in fact, quite a few people have left.

But those who stayed here still refused to give up...

"Clan Head, do we really have to do this?" At this moment, those who followed Schubert also began to panic: "That is Lord Barbatos!!"

"Hmph, at this point, do you think we still have a chance to repent?" Schubert snorted coldly: "Isn't it Barbatos's fault that we have become like this now?

If he hadn't supported Vennessa, how could our Lawrence Clan have been overthrown, and we wouldn't have fallen to this state!

This is all Barbatos's fault; he was the one who betrayed us first!"

Listening to Schubert's words, everyone fell silent.

Yes, if it weren't for Barbatos, their Lawrence Clan would still be in control of Mondstadt!

By what right did he come to be their god?

"And, didn't you see? Barbatos's strength is not as powerful as imagined; he can't even beat the Stormterror. As long as the Abyss Order people come, Barbatos will surely be defeated!" Then, Schubert continued to shout madly: "This is the last chance for our Lawrence Clan!"
