Chapter 166: Barbatos, You Owe Me a Favor (Please Subscribe!!)

"Everyone! Follow our footsteps closely!!"

A blue-haired boy roared at those behind him; this boy bore a striking resemblance to how Barbatos would later appear in human form. Jiang Yan guessed this must be Barbatos's friend, Venti, who perished in this war?

He remembered it should be Venti, right?

Hmm, wind-elemental boys always have friends who get killed~.

Tsk, should I save them?

Thus making Barbatos owe me a favor?

Jiang Yan stroked his chin, a strange smile appearing on his lips.

Seems... not bad?

Anyway, I have plenty of Dragon Balls; I apparently don't need to use them myself.

On the continent of Teyvat, with my dual-star form, aside from not knowing if I can defeat the Heavenly Principles, I certainly do not fear them.

"Humans will not yield to the oppression of the storm!"

"We must fight for freedom!"

The red-haired knight shouted angrily while the hunter maiden, bow in hand, continuously slaughtered the monsters surging up around them.

Not far from them, atop Gao Ta, Decarabian, the Anemo Archon who called himself the Lord of the Storm, sat within the tower.

"Why are these humans so noisy today?"

Standing within Gao Ta, Decarabian meditated with closed eyes, paying no attention to the commotion outside.

Even if he heard it, he merely thought something exciting must be happening outside to stir up these humans.

Within the city walls surrounded by the whirlwind storm, what could possibly excite humans...

Jiang Yan sat upon the storm wall; although the violent, fierce storm raged beneath him, it still failed to cause Jiang Yan any harm.

Indeed, if Jiang Yan wished, he could stop this rotating storm wall from turning at any moment.

The battle proceeded very quickly; wherever this group went, they quickly sparked a response from the people around them.

Even though the Lone Lord of the Tower had become an existence of immense fear in the hearts of these humans.

Yet the freedom described by this group made them yearn for it immensely.

Ultimately, the inner yearning for freedom overcame the fear of the Lone Lord of the Tower.

These people followed this leading squad of four and charged into Gao Ta.

Jiang Yan also stood up and flew toward the direction of Gao Ta.

"Boom!!!"

Endless fierce winds suddenly surged from all directions; within Gao Ta, boundless, constantly roaring fierce winds wildly swept around.

The hunter maiden was instantly torn to shreds by the violent fierce winds.

The Anemo Spirit Barbatos stood before the crowd, shielding everyone with his gentle breeze.

Though the breeze was weak, it was also indestructible!

Although this Anemo Spirit before them appeared very weak, Decarabian, looking at the residents around him who were resisting, suddenly stopped his attack.

Why?

Why do you resist me?

I have given you shelter!

Why?

Until this moment, Decarabian, this Archon of love, still had not realized that his method of loving seemed to have gone wrong.

He still did not understand why these humans would come to resist his rule.

But when he saw the people under the Anemo Spirit's protection, although fear of the surrounding fierce winds was on their faces, the gentle breeze brought by the Anemo Spirit also gave them a wonderful feeling.

Decarabian seemed to understand something.

No wonder... no wonder......

"This Anemo Spirit, what is your name?"

Decarabian suddenly spoke.

"......"

"I... am named Barbatos!"

A light, agile voice emerged from the breeze.

"Barbatos......"

Just as Decarabian was murmuring in a daze, Venti, Barbatos's close friend, holding a long sword, thrust it toward Decarabian.

Crack!

Almost without any resistance; it seemed even Decarabian did not realize someone would ambush him.

The sword in Venti's hand pierced Decarabian's body almost smoothly.

Pain!

Bone-piercing pain!

Even when fighting other Archons, Decarabian had never felt such pain.

Perhaps he never thought that one day he would be killed by his own beloved subjects with his own hands!

Boom!!!!

Violent winds swirled around Decarabian; the Archon's energy turmoil caused the surroundings to collapse continuously. Venti was instantly blasted away by this force, and the sword in his hand was torn into fragments by the storm; several fragments pierced straight into Venti's body.

"Venti!!"

Barbatos's anxious voice came from the wind.

And the situation on Decarabian's side was not very good either.

Betrayed by humanity and with its heart turned to ash, it seemed to have lost the will to live.

To prevent the release of its Archon power after death from harming the surrounding humans, Decarabian reached out and transferred all of its Archon power into the body of the Spirit of the Thousand Winds.

"You seem more suited than I to rule over these humans..."

"Could you please... continue to love them for me?"

With the last shred of its strength, Decarabian spoke these words to Barbatos.

After saying this, without waiting for any response from Barbatos, it dissolved into the world between heaven and earth.

Even in death, this Archon, whose heart still loved humanity, bore no Archon resentment.

Barbatos did not respond; its entire attention was fixed on the boy before it, who was bleeding profusely.

In an instant, the gentle breeze around began to fluctuate continuously, and the Spirit of the Thousand Winds, having passively received all of Decarabian's Archon power, entered the ranks of top-tier Archons at that very moment.

Yet neither the gentle breeze nor the gale capable of tearing people into fragments could save the boy's life, which was steadily slipping away before them.

"No... don't die!"

Barbatos's panicked voice rose from the wind.

"Cough... cough..."
