Chapter 53

"One minute at noon!"

"In heaven and on earth, I alone am the honored one!"

"Holy Sword!"

"E—S—CA—NOR!!"

As the words fell!

Those seven illusory sword shadows hovering and burning with golden flames seemed to tear through space in an instant, stabbing toward Rosalyne!

The sword hadn't arrived yet!

But the terrifying sword aura already made Rosalyne's bones rattle, and a touch of despair burned in her heart.

A moment later, the seven giant swords pierced through Rosalyne!

PS: Seeking flowers, monthly tickets, reviews, and everything.

041: She was also once an innocent girl (Seeking flowers)

【'I... was pierced?!'】

Rosalyne gradually widened her eyes.

At the moment she was enveloped by the seven illusory sword shadows burning with golden flames.

At the moment she faced Lu Shu unleashing his true power.

Rosalyne realized.

All her defensive skills appeared so weak and powerless!

Just like snow encountering a scorching volcanic eruption, her proud flowing fire elements were completely melted in almost an instant.

Immediately after, sword shadows carrying irresistible power pierced through her body.

Left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, lower abdomen, chest, and even the center of her brow—sword shadows pierced in one after another.

A sharp pain that seemed to tear her apart came from her body!

The body carrying liquid flowing fire was already dilapidated, and at this moment, she was like a damaged sieve, riddled with holes.

Perhaps like a honeycomb?

She felt the flowing fire in her body spilling out!

With the sword shadows completely submerged, she could no longer feel a shred of pain.

Until the moment she collapsed with a bang!

Her mind was still in shock!

What kind of power was that?

One strike, and it beat her back to her original form!

That kind of pain almost made her lose consciousness, just as her mind was about to dissipate.

A 'familiar' feeling appeared again.

She struggled to open her eyes to look.

It was that damn man.

Previously riding on her waist, spanking her butt.

This time...

Sitting on her stomach, the target is... her one Cryo and one Pyro slime?

Heh!

She didn't even have the qualification to move anymore.

Suddenly!

A strange force, completely different from before, flowed through her slime and into her already decaying and dilapidated remnant body.

That was a type of elemental power that didn't belong to the seven elements of Teyvat.

Like the one that pierced her body earlier, this unknown power was full of mystery and longing.

Although this remnant body had long since become riddled with holes, under the effect of this profound power, it actually began to slowly recover?

Her weak aura was also recovering bit by bit.

Although very slowly, it made her spirit perk up.

She tried to lift her hand to slap away the evil devil's claws on her one Cryo and one Pyro slime.

But, she was still very weak.

Barely moving her eyeballs was already the limit.

Lifting a hand or something was still too difficult.

"Why..."

"Why, save... me?"

"Save you?"

"Not at all!"

Looking at 'Signora' Rosalyne, who was still weak underneath him, Lu Shu shook his head and didn't answer her question!

He was saving that once-innocent girl!

The first villain encountered after the 'player' entered Teyvat.

Full of infinite tragedy!

If you delve into the story text, you'll find that this is just a disgusting script kill to prop up a cripple!

She never showed her face in Inazuma, only living in sporadic dialogues, and very obscure ones at that.

And then she died as soon as she appeared!

The Signora's popularity was too high.

In order to get the cripple online and into the character banner.

She had to die.

Otherwise?

The Inazuma plot was already laid out, and she couldn't suddenly disappear, but if she were allowed to remain active in Inazuma, her popularity would only continue to skyrocket.

How would the cripple get online?

How would he sell?

So she was decisively sent to her death by the planners.

"Return to Mondstadt, never come to Inazuma in this life, don't believe any words from any Harbinger, especially Scaramouche!"

'Memory' Path unleashed.

Lu Shu grabbed lingeringly on her hand!

'Abundance' healed the dilapidated body eroded by liquid flowing fire.

Lu Shu is a man of appetite.

He doesn't deny that saving her was entirely because he craved her body.

But another point was that in Rosalyne, he saw some shadows of Kikyo.

Both were people of 'tragedy and sorrow'.

Of course!

Kikyo was far more perfect than her!

After resurrection, Kikyo chose to fight alone.

No matter how seriously injured she was on the way, she shouldered everything alone and never relied on anyone.

The resurrected Kikyo lost her lover.

The returning Rosalyne was the same.

She abandoned her past as a girl, turned into a witch that historians didn't want to record, and embarked on a path of revenge, vowing to burn all monsters to ashes.

She didn't need understanding, didn't need comfort, and didn't need anyone's sympathy.

Like Kikyo, she was alone.

After Kikyo was injured at 'Mount Bai Ling', her body couldn't move or speak, yet she still used her broken soul to turn into a holy being to save the villagers.

Even injured like that, she still had to fight the great villain Naraku.

What she thought in her heart was that she didn't want innocent people to sacrifice, and if there had to be a sacrifice, then sacrificing her alone would be enough.

And Rosalyne in her girlhood, she cut off all past ties.
