The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Hey? What are you guys doing here too?"

The silence lasted for a long time. The fire mage looked around and found that its other companions had also come over, and they were looking at it with regret.

Clearly, they heard what was just said.

"Have you betrayed the Order?" the water mage asked the fire mage with a pained expression.

"Go, I won't attack you for the sake of our friendship!" Lei Fa said with a pained expression, pointing towards the exit of the secret realm.

"This...this doesn't count as betrayal, does it?" The ice mage was obviously more normal, while the fire mage's actions could only be described as slacking off, not betrayal at all, right?

And weren't you two the most enthusiastic when you were slacking off?

"Yes...really?"

"It seems my worries are unnecessary."

The water mage and lightning mage didn't think much before directly believing the ice mage's words. Their quick change of heart caught Ember and Dvalin off guard.

They looked at the fire mage with eyes that clearly asked: Are all abyss mages like this?

"Don't look at me like that! Only those two look like that!" The fire mage shook his head decisively, cutting ties with the water and lightning mages.

“It’s the four of you,” Tvalin added.

“Indeed.” Ember nodded in agreement. He wholeheartedly agreed with Dvalin’s statement.

"So, can you tell me why Dvalin just became like that?" After a brief, perfunctory greeting, Ember got down to business.

Dvalin nodded after hearing Ember's words, and his dragon eyes once again turned to the abyss mage below.

Looking back now, there are many suspicious points about that burst of poisonous blood just now.

The atmosphere immediately became heavy after Ember's words.

The fire mage stared at Dvalin and Ember, remaining silent for a long time. Although it slacked off every day, and although it had leaked information about its superior to humans, the fire mage never harbored any intention of betraying the Order.

Ultimately, the Order is its only home; only the Order would accept such an abyssal monster.

If it really leaves the cult, it will be universally hated, if not universally reviled.

"I cannot betray the Order." The fire mage looked at Dvalin and Ember, now filled with regret. He shouldn't have sought out Dvalin for that so-called "beyond the Abyss."

"So you mean you're unwilling to cooperate?" Ember looked at the fire mage and narrowed his eyes.

"Whoosh!" The howling wind grew louder, and gusts of wind began to swirl around Dvalin's body.

The fire mage raised his head, knowing he definitely couldn't defeat them; raising his head at least would make his death look more dignified.

"Snap!" Yu Jin snapped his fingers, and then everyone saw a warm yellow light shield envelop them.

Then, to the astonishment of the Abyss Mages and Dvalin, everything within the Wind Dragon Ruins secret realm began to reverse.

The platform, reduced to dust, reassembled, and the disintegrated dragon claws reappeared—they even ran onto Dvalin's fingers and began to heal on their own.

Time flowed normally inside the light shield, but outside it was rapidly reversing. What was happening before our eyes was truly a miracle!

Silently, the warm yellow light barrier disappeared, and everything within the secret realm returned to its original state.

Dvalin looked at his intact dragon claws, then gazed at the several enormous stone books in the distance.

They should have been destroyed in their own madness, but now they have returned to the world.

Dvalin now felt extremely fortunate that Ember hadn't killed him earlier.

"Will you talk or not? If you don't, I'll send you back to your mother's womb!" Ember looked at the stunned abyss mages and swung his fist fiercely.

Hearing Ember's words, the four abyss mages shuddered. Ember's threat wasn't particularly malicious, but the fact that he was a man of his word was undeniable!

If they were really sent back to their mother's womb, they'd have no one to cry to. But to be honest, the fire mage is quite curious to see how those abyss mages came out.

The members of the cult seemed to have sprung from the cracks in the rocks. They appeared out of nowhere, and died out of just as inexplicably.

He shook his head, clearing the jumbled thoughts from his mind. After a moment of contemplation, the fire mage said, "This isn't betrayal, remember that!"

"Hurry up! Enough with the nonsense!" Ember tapped the fire mage's head impatiently. Why does this guy talk so much nonsense?

"Stop hitting me, it hurts like hell!!!" The fire mage clutched his head and backed away. Then he said, "This isn't my fault, it was my boss who did it!"

"When Dvalin came into contact with the Order, the power of the Abyss was sent into its poisonous blood. Then the Order could use the power of the Abyss to gradually erode and eventually control Dvalin!"

"I knew you had ulterior motives!" Dvalin grunted. He had long been prepared for the Abyss Cult's impure intentions, but he hadn't expected them to try and control him directly!

"Oh, quite the appetite," Yu Jin remarked sarcastically. Dvalin's strength rivals that of a demon god, yet the Abyss Order sends these few oddballs to try and control him; they're quite greedy.

"Do you have any way to get rid of the poisonous blood on my back?" Dvalin lowered his dragon head, revealing the darkened clumps of poisonous blood on his back.

"No." This time, the fire mage stopped dawdling and answered quickly.

This left Dvalin speechless. His dragon eyes were filled with disbelief. "Aren't you abyssal monsters? You can't handle this thing?"

Do you know why I came to you first?

"do not know."

"Because I'm also curious about how you managed to escape the corruption of the abyss," the fire mage said softly, looking at the pale purple poisonous blood behind Dvalin.

Chapter 161 Wind Dragon Celebration

2023-09-09

"In my understanding, once you're tainted by the abyss, there's only one fate: to be swallowed by it." The fire mage glanced at Dvalin and continued:

"And you are the only exception I have ever seen."

"Clang, clang, clang!" The crisp sound of armor plates clashing was so clear in the wind-swept secret realm that it immediately attracted the attention of the abyss mages and Dvalin.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found Yu Jin jumping rope to the side.

"What are you doing?" Fire Mage found Ember a bit hard to understand. Why was he jumping rope at this time?

"Want to try exercising?" As if the fire mage's elemental shield didn't exist, Ember reached his hand directly inside.

In his hand was a neatly arranged stack of jump ropes.

Huo Ding stared intently, nearly popping his eyes out in shock. What did he see? He saw an abyss!

The flowing stars are the rope's garment, and the silent madness is the handle at the end. This jump rope itself is an unspeakable taboo!

"Your Majesty! Why are you so late! I've been waiting for you for so long, Your Majesty!" The fire mage shamelessly clung to Ember's leg. What cult, what prince, could they be as thick as this leg?

"Get out! How can you be like a human?" This is a very distinctive way of cursing; one can only say that it is worthy of Yu Jin.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

"Do you really want to betray the Order?"

"What do you see?"

Seeing the fire mage being left far behind by the embers, the other abyss mages immediately surrounded him. They occasionally expressed their deep contempt for the fire mage's spineless words.

"See for yourselves." The jump rope that Ember had just made was still in the fire mage's hand. He tossed the Abyss Jump Rope aside and went to draw circles.

Today was a bit of a blow for it. The abyss, which it considered all-powerful, suffered two defeats in a row. It needs to calm down and be quiet for a while.

"This is... the power of the Order!"

"Why is it so gentle? Isn't the power of the Order supposed to be incredibly insane?"

"So pure..."

After a brief commotion, Dvalin saw three more abyss mages drawing circles on the platform. Including the fire mage from before, there were now four abyss mages—red, purple, blue, and white—drawing circles.

This scene left Dvalingan speechless. He had lived for thousands of years; what hadn't he seen? Sorry, but this was something he truly had never seen before.

"Then...then this thing can't be removed?" Dulin's sobs occasionally reached Tvalin's ears, forcing him to break the silence.

If we don't get to the bottom of this soon, he'll be driven crazy by all the noise!

Hearing Dvalin's question, the fire mage put away his staff, which had been used to draw circles, and simultaneously thickened his elemental shield. Then he said:

"It definitely wouldn't have worked before, but who knows now." The fire mage glanced at the embers beside him. The guy who could so easily crush the forbidden power of the abyss was right here; why was Dvalin asking him?

"Why are you looking at me? Of course I—" Yu Jin's words drew everyone's attention. He deliberately dragged out his words, keeping everyone in suspense.

Both the fire mage and Dvalin were hoping that Ember would give a positive answer.

"It's okay!" Ember lived up to their expectations and gave a very confident affirmative answer.

In any case, it's just a matter of the principle of regression; if it doesn't work, just apply it a few more times. The Golden Law is useless in everything except for maintaining the immutability of all things, where no one can surpass it.

“But are you sure you want me to do it? Actually, you have another option…” After saying that, Yu Jin quietly moved closer again.

"What options?" Dvalin asked impatiently. He had thought it would be a miracle if the embers could handle the poisonous blood, but he hadn't expected there to be other options?

When did the abyss become so easy to dispel? Dvalin looked at the embers, wondering if he should go out for a walk.

“This poisonous blood has been with you for five hundred years. With a simple movement of my hands, it’s gone. Don’t you feel a little regretful?” Yu Jin said, gesturing with the principle of reversion to show how quickly the poisonous blood could be expelled.

“No.” Dvalin shook his head decisively. For five hundred years, this poisonous blood had tormented him to the point of death. He just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible and fly freely.

“Look, you’ve now torn apart the resentment in the poisonous blood. Most of the poisonous blood’s power has dissipated. Now, just release the restrictions, find someone to fight, and exhaust the power. Wouldn’t that solve everything?” Ember seemed not to have heard Dvalin’s refusal and continued to speak to himself.

"Who are you going to fight? You don't mean it's you, do you?" Dvalin looked at Ember and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Could he just be looking for an excuse to kill himself? This strange thought suddenly popped into Dvalin's mind.

Ember sensed a hint of fear in Dvalin's eyes and assumed he was worried about him ruining Mondstadt, so he reassured him:

"Don't worry! Mond will be fine. Both I and Lance Sanx are strong enough to control you!"

"What, Lance Sanx?" Dvalin's ears perked up as he caught the key information.

“Well, actually I originally wanted you to fight Lance Sanx. But if you insist on fighting me, I don’t mind stretching your muscles a bit.” Ember nodded; he admired beings who dared to scale the heights.

“Lance Sanx… what is your relationship with him?” Dvalin pondered Ember’s words and discovered the blind spot in them.

"What kind of relationship..." Yu Jin stroked his chin and said under Dvalin's expectant gaze, "I should be considered her boss and elder."

"Superiors and elders?" Dvalin repeated Ember's answer a few times, seemingly deep in thought.

"How about it? Want to show off your skills in front of Lance Sanx?" Ember leaned closer to Dvalin and said enticingly.

"I do! I promise you!" Dvalin spread his wings, and dazzling winds flowed across his enormous dragon wings.

He completely forgot that the self he became after being corrupted by the abyss was no longer his true self.
