Chapter 1557

~6 min read 1,178 words

【Signora: But the Knave's fairly serious slash only left such a small scratch; are you sure your Fontaine clockwork robots can do that?】

【Skirk: This clockwork meka should be related to Furina's will to close her heart and keep secrets.】

【Tartaglia: So, in a way, is the Knave fighting Furina's heart?】

【Silver: So that's it; since the clockwork meka represents Lady Furina's will, it will naturally be more powerful than the clockwork meka in reality.】

【Chevreuse: In a way, can this also be counted as the Fatui making a move against the Hydro Archon?】

【Tartaglia: If you count it that way, is it a bit too much?】

………………

"Looks a bit powerful?" Lumine raised an eyebrow. "Can you handle it, Knave?"

"Yes!" The Knave replied, and a wing constructed of flames grew out from her back.

Immediately, she dodged the pursuing clockwork meka with a flash and came to the spotlight directly in front of Furina.

Since the clockwork meka might represent Furina's inner defense, the Knave didn't intend to kill it.

She wasn't sure if Furina's heart would have problems after killing it.

As a traveler who left Teyvat together to go to Penacony, at least at this time, the Knave felt that she should avoid such a situation.

And this specialized clockwork meka was much sturdier than she imagined; the Knave didn't want to waste time dealing with it in this world.

It would be better to take advantage of Clorinde and Navia's attention being attracted by the clockwork meka to turn off the remaining spotlights.

To avoid Clorinde and Navia reacting and stopping her from turning off the clockwork meka and exploring Furina's inner secrets.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"The audience is still watching me!"

"Where are the guards? Guards!"

A trace of panic flashed on Furina's face on the throne again.

Immediately after, another humanoid clockwork meka descended from the sky and stabbed the Knave directly with its sharp foot gun.

Hearing the movement above her head, the Knave wanted to dodge but it was already too late.

Helplessly, she could only block with the scythe in her hand.

It's just that she blocked it.

Her body was also knocked flying again.

The direction she flew was exactly the third spotlight.

"Success!"

A smile appeared on the corner of the Knave's mouth, and she was about to turn off the second spotlight just like she did before.

But the next moment, the smile on her face froze, and her body also came to a sudden stop.

"Holy crap, are there a bit too many guards?"

Lumine widened her eyes, looking at the dense crowd of humanoid clockwork meka walking out from the shadows behind the third spotlight, filling half the stage.

Half of them blocked in front of the spotlight, even blocking most of the light shining on Furina.

The other half walked with firm steps directly toward the Knave, passing Lumine on the way.

"Good, good, they don't take me seriously."

"I don't have to fight."

Lumine took two steps back and patted her chest, saying.

"But you also proposed to turn off a light earlier."

Clorinde complained.

"I only proposed to turn off one spotlight, I didn't say to turn off two."

"If you want to blame someone, blame the Knave; don't bring me into it."

Lumine raised her hands and shook her head, saying.

Clorinde, who was experiencing Lumine's personality at close range for the first time, also twitched the corner of her mouth involuntarily.

"If the opponent is really you, these clockwork meka are strong, but they shouldn't be able to deal with you, a Pathstrider."

Clorinde said silently, and looked up at the Knave who was already in a fierce battle with the clockwork meka.

If the Knave was still handling it with ease before.

Then now, the Knave, surrounded by a group of clockwork meka, was in a bitter battle.

Even so, Clorinde had no intention of looking down on the Knave at all.

She put herself in the Knave's position; she was afraid she wouldn't perform better than the Knave now.

Every clockwork meka in front of her was an existence that required her to deal with seriously.

"Although in a way, this is the Knave's own fault for turning off the second spotlight without authorization."

"But we are partners traveling to Penacony after all; shouldn't we help her at this time?"

Lumine summoned her Dull Blade, clearly having the idea of making a move. At least, she had to rescue the Knave from the group of clockwork meka.

If the Knave really died here, who knew if she could get out of the synesthesia dream alive.

"I appreciate the kindness, but I think I can handle it."

With a low voice coming from the Knave's position, a burst of intense flames exploded from where she was.

The strong impact forced the group of clockwork meka surrounding the Knave to retreat.

"Yo, is this a unique transformation of the Fatui?"

Lumine raised an eyebrow, looking at the Knave in the flames and smoke with interest.

The power of the Trailblaze allowed the ashes beside the Knave to not be able to block her sight.

At this moment, the Knave's neutral suit had already turned into a bloody suit entangled with blood color; eerie, scorching blood-red flames entangled and boiled around her, gradually condensing into another blood-colored scythe and being grabbed by the Knave.

Behind the Knave, that red wing was no longer there.

Replacing it were six sharp blades like spider claws.

Just by looking at it, those spider-claw-like blades seemed to be able to hurt people's eyes.

"Is this the power of a Fatui Harbinger? So strong!"

Clorinde frowned tightly.

She finally understood why Luo Feng stopped her from dealing with the two children of the Duke of Burning Fire, Dubra and Akash, at the Eternal Fire Mansion earlier, but allowed the Knave to go.

Although she was a bit unwilling, Clorinde had to admit that the Knave was stronger than her now.

"Is the stage not damaged at all?"

"Is this also a manifestation of your will, Hydro Archon Furina?"

The Knave looked at the stage that was not affected by her transformation at all, and gave a meaningful look at Furina, who seemed to have mysterious power guarding her on the throne.

Then, she pointed her right-hand blood-colored scythe at the batch of clockwork meka that stood up again around her.

"Let's continue."

"With your numbers, even if I kill a few, it shouldn't matter to Furina, right?"

The Knave said.

The clockwork meka couldn't speak; they could only respond to the Knave with their actual actions.

Seeing the clockwork meka attacking her again at a very fast speed, the Knave swung her blood-colored scythes around her body, and a blood formation covering several meters around her body immediately unfolded.

Just as the clockwork meka came close to the Knave, slashes appeared directly from the blood formation, hacking at the clockwork meka that stepped into the blood formation.
