In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

The captains with divine vision took the lead, fearlessly standing in front of ordinary soldiers and civilians, shouting themselves hoarse as they directed the Knights of Favonius's actions.

The Stormterror, which has always been a staple of the Wilderness Action, has begun attacking cities.

However, Mondstadt did not fall into disarray because of this sudden attack.

Although there were still some chaotic moments, the overall situation was well-organized under the command of the Knights of Favonius. Everyone followed the order of evacuation, prioritizing the elderly and children, and then adults. A few troublemakers were subdued on the spot by the Knights of Favonius with swift and decisive action.

In short.

Everything is still under control, and the chaotic situation that Rhodes had imagined has not occurred.

"Excuse me, everyone, I must take my leave now."

Amber first took Rhodes and the others to a safe place, and then she rushed out against the winds that had soared to storm level.

At this point, Tvalin's attack had only just begun.

As he circled and surged through the air, Rhodes and the others could clearly sense that the concentration of wind elemental energy in the air was becoming increasingly violent.

After a while.

The wind elemental force hovering over Mondstadt was so strong that it was visible to the naked eye, condensing into a terrifying cyclone.

The storm also became even more violent under the influence of such powerful wind elemental forces.

Some buildings that could have withstood the storm collapsed in the raging winds, spiraling upwards in the swirling gale before crashing down again a few seconds later.

With lightning speed, Rhodes darted forward, cleaving away the falling rubble for several Mondstadt residents clinging to pillars. He then grabbed the unfortunate few who hadn't managed to escape and tossed them into the still-holding houses.

Ying followed suit, grabbing a blunt sword and protecting the civilians who hadn't managed to escape in time.

However, doing so can only solve the immediate problem.

After rescuing more than a dozen people, Rhodes raised his head, squinted his eyes, and stared at the roaring and howling Dvalin in the sky.

At the commander's command, Mondstadt's defenses unleashed a barrage of long-tailed, flame-laden crossbows, giant arrows, and other ranged weapons, all imbued with elemental enchantments, hurtling towards Dvalin.

The Knights of Favonius responded very quickly.

Almost simultaneously with Dvalin's entry into Mondstadt, all of Mondstadt's ranged defenses were activated.

With the help of alchemical materials and elemental power.

These seemingly primitive methods are in no way inferior to the ordinary missiles of Rhodes' previous life in terms of range and power.

Even Tvalin was unwilling to withstand these attacks head-on.

Relying on being an elemental dragon and the darling of the wind element, Dvalin not only flew extremely high, but his enormous body also appeared quite agile in the air, easily dodging all attacks, and continuously mobilizing wind elemental power to amplify the destructive power of the storm.

Seeing this, Rod turned and glanced at Wendy.

A simple exchange of glances.

Rod immediately felt a breeze moving around him.

This was not a murderous storm unleashed by Dvalin, but a thousand winds gathered at Wendy's command.

He is in the same situation as me.

Ying is on the other side, working hard to save people.

"call--"

Gazing at the sky-covering Dvalin, Rhodes took a deep breath, and then, amidst the cyan fluorescence, unfurled a pair of ice-blue wings.

The people around hadn't even seen what was going on yet.

His figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

When Rhodes reappeared, he was already above Dvalin, and the two clearly visible dark purple poison blood crystals were now clearly visible as well.

Chapter 164 The Strike That Pierced Through the Wind Dragon

In contrast to the massive size of Tvalin.

Rhodes, flapping his snowy owl wings, was barely bigger than an ant.

However, just as Rhodes flew onto his head, Dvalin's dragon eyes, which were larger than a house, glared at him.

"Is it the power of Barbatos that attracted you?"

Rhodes made a grasping motion in the air with his left hand, and a crimson longbow appeared in his grasp.

"Roar--"

The gusts of wind gathered by Wendy were incredibly attractive to Dvalin. Almost the instant he saw Rhodes, he flapped his wings, and instantly, blue light bullets with a diameter of over ten meters rained down upon him.

With the blessing of the wind element.

These light projectiles were incredibly fast; they reached Rhodes in the blink of an eye.

For such an attack.

Rod remained calm and unhurried.

Using the Snowy Owl Wings and the Flowing Wind granted by Wendy, he dodged and weaved through the light projectiles, and seized the opportunity to draw his bow and shoot.

At the moment of release.

The slender elemental arrow, which was originally of normal size, grew larger and larger as it flew, until it had expanded to more than two meters in length by the time it reached Dvalin.

This arrow.

It pierced through the gaps in the barrage of light bullets and flew past Dvalin's cheek at an extremely tricky angle.

Although it was just a graze, a shallow cut was still left on Tvalin's face.

The wound isn't deep.

It only scratched the dragon's scales, without drawing a single drop of blood.

But that was enough to calm the frenzied Dvalin down for a while.

Dvalin is insane, not stupid.

If this mortal with the power of the wind god can injure me with a single blow, then he has a chance to severely injure me.

This was the first time Tvalin had felt a real threat since he awoke.

"Barbatos!!!"

A furious roar tore through the sky.

In Mondstadt.

Wendy, who was using the Thousand Winds to watch the battle, couldn't help but look bitter.

The Abyss Mage's seduction of Dvalin involved abandoning him and then leading a group to hunt him down.

Now that Rhodes is fighting him with his own power, this has been confirmed, which will undoubtedly deepen Dvalin's hatred for him and lead him further down the abyss.

But I had no choice but to do it.

If we don't stop Dvalin now, Mondstadt will definitely suffer huge losses and casualties.

And no one in Mondstadt could fly to the height that Dvalin could reach, let alone drive away the Dvalin that was ravaging Mondstadt.

So Wendy could only watch bitterly as Dvalin's hatred for her deepened.

High in the sky.

The battle between Rhodes and Dvalin continues.

Dvalin is enormous and has an extremely wide attack range.

This forced Rhodes to be wary of Rhodes' physical charge while dodging his elemental attacks.

In this battle where the size difference is severe.

Rhodes' greatest advantage is actually his small size and the agility granted by Wendy's Wind Force. With the Holy Ritual of Hermanubis and the Wind Force of the Wind God, Rhodes' speed is even much faster than that of Tirion.

This is enough for him to dodge most of Dvalin's attacks. If he really can't dodge, he has the power of three gods on him, plus his self-healing ability, which is enough to withstand a few blows. He can then find an opportunity to launch a counterattack against Dvalin.

Blazing Sun Bow Technique, Falling Moon.

This is the move that Rhode just used.

The archery skills passed down from the Red King Priests were far more powerful than Rhodes had anticipated.

In Rhodes's original understanding...

Dragons should be tough and resilient, with maximum physical resistance and immunity to magic attacks.

This "Falling Moon" move can only cause harassment; it cannot inflict significant damage.

But the fact is.

The Moonfall Arrow could easily penetrate Dvalin's defenses; one arrow even pierced Dvalin's claws, making him even more frenzied and enraged.

You really overestimated him.

This was Rod's biggest feeling after truly facing Dvalin.

Fortunately, I was initially afraid that this dragon would slap me to death.

"Dvalin's power as a follower of the wind god has already been burned away by his own actions, and with the corrosive effects of the poisonous blood on his body, his life is burning rapidly. Even if the Knights of Favonius don't attack him, he will burn himself out in his rage."

Wendy's voice drifted on the wind to Rhodes' ears.

This means...

Dvalin's strength has been greatly diminished. Apart from his enormous dragon body and the unique advantage of being able to fly, he has completely lost the might of the East Wind Dragon when he fought against the evil dragon Durin.

Will the corrosive effects of the poisonous blood also cause a decrease in physical strength?

While dodging Dvalin's attacks, Rhodes continued to question Wendy.

The answer was yes.

It's the same principle as those two tear crystals tainted by the power of the abyss repelling elemental forces.

Those who possess the Eye of God, which allows them to manipulate elemental forces, experience excruciating pain when they come into contact with the power of the abyss, and dare not make direct contact with it.
