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

Dvalin is a pure-blooded wind elemental dragon.

His physique made him even more vulnerable to the corrosive power of the abyss.

And such erosion.

His body had endured five hundred years of hardship and was now in a state of decay.

This is also why Rod was able to injure him so easily.

if not.

If it were Dvalin at his peak, Rod wouldn't even be able to hurt him; he'd probably be instantly killed in a single exchange.

At this time.

Finally, Yingye, who had mastered the skills of flying, arrived.

Paimon is not here.

It seems that she couldn't fly up to such a height without external help.

Unlike Rhodes, who fought Dvalin using the Sunbow, Luminous's bladeless sword couldn't even touch Dvalin, and she also lacked the Snowowl Wings, resulting in a significant speed disadvantage compared to Dvalin.

However, Venti gave Luminosity more Anemo energy than he gave Rhodes, which was enough for Luminosity, who was already capable of manipulating Anemo energy, to transform into an aerial turret.

The flowing wind was gathered and transformed into a cannonball that pierced through the clouds.

Under Wendy's guidance, Ying mastered the technique after just two attempts.

She unfurled a pair of wind wings, floated in the sky, and aimed one hand at Dvalin. Azure wind elemental power rapidly gathered, transforming into a beam of light that shot straight towards Dvalin.

The power of this light blast was far inferior to Rhodes's Moonfall. Even if it hit Dvalin directly, it would not be able to break through his defenses, and could only make him roar in pain.

However, the light projectiles, composed of wind elemental power, employed a saturation attack strategy.

The attack launched by Ying alone was more intense than a volley from the Knights of the West on the city wall below.

Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant.

This saturation of firepower creates a suppressive force many times stronger than Rhodes's maneuvering style of play.

"Barbatos!!!"

It was the power given by Wendy that enraged Dvalin even more. He flapped his three pairs of wings and charged forward despite the pain, trying to finish off the abnormally high frequency of attacks from Luminous.

"Starfall!"

At that moment, Rhodes, who was fighting alongside Ying, immediately unleashed another move of the Flame Bow Technique.

This time.

He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, pointing it straight at the sky.

As Dvalin drew closer, he released the bowstring, and an ice elemental arrow shot straight into the sky. As the light of the elemental force disappeared into the clouds, countless arrows, each about the length of an arm, rained down on Dvalin's path.

For Tvalin's body, which was several hundred meters long, these arrow-like attacks could only reach the hardest scales on his head.

In terms of pain and damage, these arrows were far less painful than Rhode's Moonfall or the wind elemental light bullets fired from Ying's hand; they felt roughly like a mosquito bite.

However, after flying a distance further, Tvalin discovered the problem.

From the very beginning of the battle.

Rhodes uses ice elemental power, and so does this Starfall technique.

Therefore, Dvalin's initial preparation was to swallow the two humans who were using Barbatos's power to harm him, even if it meant enduring the pain.

But he was wrong.

This Starfall is not a high-damage move at all; it's a wide-range control move.

The arrows that fell on Dvalin's head did not attempt to pierce his scales. Instead, they quickly turned into solid ice, spreading rapidly in all directions with an astonishing chill. Almost instantly, they covered Dvalin's eyes with a thick layer of ice.

The loss of his vision rendered Dvarin as if he were blind.

The extreme low temperatures brought about by the force of ice also made Dvalin, who was born high in the sky, very uncomfortable.

Unable to see ahead and suffering from a terrible headache, Dvalin abruptly stopped, no longer daring to charge forward. He hovered in mid-air, waving his claws, trying to pry open the solid ice covering his head.

Seeing that the opportunity was just right, Ying immediately increased the attack of the wind element light bullets.

Caught off guard, Tvalin was immediately beaten and screamed in agony.

The triple pain in his head, body, and mind caused Dvalin to writhe in agony in the air, stirring up the elemental forces around Mondstadt and causing them to rage wildly once again. The chaos of the elemental turbulence made the connection between some Eye of God holders and the elemental forces almost nonexistent, causing considerable panic.

at this time.

Rhodes' second Starfall shot landed precisely on Dvalin's head once again, making the already troublesome ice even thicker.

I spent ages digging it out.

The ice layer has not only decreased, but has actually become thicker.

Sensing something was wrong, Dvalin decisively gave up struggling. He suddenly unleashed a massive amount of wind elemental power, creating a gust of wind that made it impossible to open one's eyes, and then soared into the unreachable sky.

Ying breathed a sigh of relief after finally getting rid of Dvalin, and prepared to say something to Rhodes beside her.

But then Rhodes flapped his wings and, amidst a dual vortex of ice-blue and cyan elemental energy, actually caught up with Dvalin. At the same time, a dazzling grass-green light burst forth from his body, and a long spear made of flames appeared out of thin air in his hand.

This is not a normal spear.

It was a javelin used for throwing.

From below, Ying could see clearly that Rhodes and Dvalin were advancing side by side, their bodies arched like a full moon. Rhodes' right arm, holding the spear, instantly grew much thicker. After a brief moment of preparation, the javelin in his hand transformed into a blazing fire dragon. The fire elemental power, carrying terrifying heat, tore through the sky like a meteor and struck the purple crystal between Dvalin's second pair of wings.

There was a loud bang.

The shock made Ying instinctively cover her ears.

The huge purple crystal that was hit head-on shattered into pieces, with some parts remaining on Dvalin and others flying in all directions.

miracly.

These broken crystal fragments did not fall; after flying out, they all floated in the sky for a short distance.

The fire dragon that shattered the crystal continued its momentum, piercing straight through Dvalin's body. The intense heat of the flames burning flesh was clearly perceptible even to Glow, who was quite far away from Dvalin.

The power of this attack was visibly far greater than that of Falling Moon, and far greater than all the damage that Luminous had inflicted on Dvalin since joining the battle.

"Roar--"

Dvalin let out the most pitiful roar he had uttered since his appearance that day; it was more of a lament than a roar of anger.

It is clear.

He was enduring unbearable pain.

The only good news.

The piercing wound between his wings was probably burned off by the high temperature, so not a drop of blood flowed out. Otherwise, if he had lost a lot of blood from such an injury, he would have really been left behind today.

"Pity."

Rhodes' face paled slightly as he used two sacred rituals in succession and consumed a huge amount of elemental power. He looked at Dvalin, who was seriously injured but still managed to escape from here at full speed, and his voice carried a hint of regret.

That blow just now.

It is one of the most powerful offensive moves in the Lieyang martial arts. It has no name, and all the techniques are limited to this one move: throwing a javelin.

In order to maximize the power of this move.

Instead of using the Blazing Sun Javelin, Rhodes emptied his fire elemental power to condense a Holy Ritual Javelin, and fully activated the body amplification of the Grass Elemental Ritual, using all his Grass elemental power on power amplification and elemental power amplification.

With so many boosts applied to himself, he was able to unleash a powerful attack that severely damaged Dvalin.

Even with such an attack, it only shattered half of the abyssal poison blood, not completely.

With a touch of regret.

Rhodes casually grabbed a purple crystal floating beside him, and almost the instant he grasped it, the crystal turned to dust, its abyssal power completely devoured.

Rhodes' complexion improved after receiving the replenishment.

Followed by.

As if manipulated by someone, these crystals floated over automatically and piled up around Rhodes.

Ying stared in disbelief.

Rod grabbed handfuls of these crystals and devoured and digested them one by one without stopping.

This was the first time in a long time that he had experienced the inability to eat.

This forced him to rest for a while until the symptoms of the abyss's corruption disappeared before he could devour again.

Throughout the entire process, Rhodes did not hide anything from Ying and performed the operation right in front of her.

Rhode only stopped, satisfied, after the abyssal power within the last crystal had been completely devoured.

His complexion had returned to its rosy hue, and he showed no signs of weakness from the massive depletion of his elemental power.

"you"

Ying's lips twitched, and she looked at Rhodes as if he were a monster.

Ying knew that she could purify Dvalin's poisonous blood.

You can compare them.

Rhodes is essentially consuming Dvalin's poisonous blood directly.

This is not just a matter of concept.

"It's nothing. Everyone has their own little secrets, right?"

Rhodes chuckled: "Besides, if we want to cooperate with you, some openness and honesty are necessary."

Eh.

This sounds so familiar, like I've said it to someone before.

"cooperate?"

Ying blinked, not understanding what Rod meant.

"I have accepted a mission from the Wind God."

"We must help Dvalin escape the torment of the abyss's corruption."
