The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Andrius's wolf eyes gleamed, and he looked eager to try.

Chapter 228 Trial

2023-10-13

"Ouch——"

A loud, clear wolf howl rang out, its sound penetrating the stone walls and dense forest, echoing over the Wolf's Lair.

"It's so noisy!" Yu Jin said, picking at his ears and somewhat speechless.

Why did the wolf king suddenly start howling like a ghost? Sure enough, the fusion of souls still has aftereffects.

"How about it? Do you want to try to pass my trial? If you pass, I can tell you all about ancient secrets!"

Andrius, radiating a chilling aura, spoke with a hint of anticipation. To be honest, he was also quite combative.

Otherwise, such a large platform wouldn't have been used as its testing ground.

"No...no. I'd better not." Xiangling looked at Andrius, who was radiating a faint blue light, and decisively picked up Guoba and ran back.

Just kidding, she's just a cook, she's totally not good at fighting or anything like that!

“I think so.” Razer looked at Andrius, whose aura was growing stronger, and instead of being afraid, he was eager to try.

The Wolf King's Trial has not been held for a long time. No one knows what the conditions are for the Wolf King to begin it.

However, the wolf pack knew that only during the trials could they catch a glimpse of the wolf king's powerful figure, capable of riding the north wind.

"No, Razer. You are not good enough. The steel you use cannot withstand my sharp teeth, and the lightning you ride cannot penetrate my skin."

"You still need more experience."

Hearing the Wolf King's words, Lei Ze was somewhat disappointed. However, he quickly composed himself and stood with Xiang Ling.

At least now he knows which direction he should be working towards.

Looking at the vast platform where only he and Andrius remained, Ember shook his head. Why were all the Demons of Mondstadt so violent?

Why not learn from Zhongli and invite him for tea and a stroll? Maybe then you'll be in a good mood and spill everything out.

"Come on! Let me see if you're as good as Sif!" Ember stretched his wrists and ankles and said casually.

“Schiff? Who’s that?” Andrius scraped the floor and echoed Ember.

“A giant wolf just like you. But it will use a sword, and carry it in its mouth.” As Yu Jin spoke, he took out a thick and huge “iron ruler”.

The Smoke-Smoke Greatsword—a deformed sword resembling a black rock shard. It is the heaviest of all greatswords.

It is said to be a weapon possessed by ancient rebels, but because it was too heavy, no one could use it, and it was eventually forgotten in the torrent of history.

"Holding a sword in your mouth?" Andrius's wolf mouth opened and closed slightly. He felt he couldn't learn from Shriff's method; using a human weapon with a wolf's mouth was simply forcing it.

“Yes, that’s why I gave it a nickname, ‘Dog with a Sword’!” Ember nodded. Actually, Sif’s swordsmanship was quite good.

Unfortunately, when Ember tried to go to the Abyss, it blocked his way. Helpless, Ember had no choice but to beat it up and give it a "nice" nickname.

Yu Jin has always been very petty about anything that tries to stop him from doing his business.

Fortunately, he's retired now and has nothing important to do, which is truly a cause for celebration!

Andrius's lips twitched slightly upon hearing Ember's words. This nickname... it sounded like an insult!

Andrius quickly shook his head, clearing his mind of these random thoughts. He was afraid that if they continued talking, the topic would be steered astray by Ember.

"Awooo—, come on, let me see your strength! Adventurer!" Andrius roared and then leaped backward to the edge of the plaza.

"Hehe, you'll see." Yu Jin slung the Greatsword, which was longer than him and as thick as a steel plate, over his shoulder.

Oversized weapons are the true romance of men!

Although he usually uses a straight sword more often.

“Weapon, too big, not good.” Razer looked at Ember in the distance, who was carrying a huge iron sword on his shoulder, and shook his head in confusion.

Ember's sword is really too strange. Teyvat also has two-handed swords, but the largest of them are no longer than a person's length.

As for Ember's sword... Razer looked at Ember, which he was holding with both hands. Well, let's just call it a two-handed sword for now.

It was enormous; the blade was wider than half an arm. Carrying it on his shoulder, the blade completely obscured his head.

Moreover, judging from the thickness of the blade, it doesn't look like a sword at all; it's far too thick. It's more like a thick steel plate than a sword.

"Why?" Xiangling built a campfire. Although she didn't know much about combat techniques, she still needed to replenish her energy after a battle.

So she's cooking right now!

"Wolf King, hurry." Razer glanced at the roasting meat on the campfire and swallowed hard.

How come he never noticed before that barbecue smells so good?

……

Just as Razor was secretly watching Xiangling's grilling skills, Andrius made his move from afar.

Actually, he originally wanted Ember to make the first move, but seeing him carrying a large iron plate and not moving, Andrius had no choice but to make the first move.

"Whoosh!" Andrius stepped back slightly, and then a flowing blue and white light began to surge around his body.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!" The wolf's hooves pounded on the stone platform, making a series of crisp sounds.

Wherever Andrius went, a thick layer of white frost, radiating a chill, adhered to the bluish-gray stone slabs.

"Haha, pretty fast!" Ember laughed loudly, and in his eyes, everything about Andrius was crystal clear.

The flowing mane, the focused gaze, the body's movements... everything was captured in a single glance.

"But it's not enough!"

Yu Jin spread his legs wide, as if nailed firmly to the ground like a pillar. Then he took a deep breath and lowered his center of gravity to its lowest point.

"Whoosh!" A white light suddenly appeared from the sky, converging on Yu Jin and bathing him in pure white light.

Combat Technique: Lunge - The lunge, which involves lowering the body by using one's weight, increases resilience and allows for the execution of heavy strikes.

As Andrius was moving forward, he suddenly felt a mountain range appear in front of him, an unshakeable mountain range.

"Hmph hmph hmph, Overlord Body, Little Wolf!"

At this moment, Ember had already held the Greatsword of Smoke at an angle in front of him, as if he were using it as a shield.

However, it would be a big mistake to think that way!

Seeing that the time was right, Yu Jin no longer hesitated. He turned his back and slashed vertically!

The momentum accumulated after Ember's waist and legs rotated once, combined with the power of Ember wielding two greatswords, created this powerful and heavy blow!

"Bang!" In an instant, the entire earth trembled due to the immense power of the embers. Amidst the billowing smoke, Andrius's colossal figure was sent flying.

But the sound was strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Crack crack crack—" As soon as Andrius landed on the ground, he tried to dissipate the force by rolling. But that wasn't enough; he also needed to add his claws!

Finally, after leaving several thin claw marks on the huge platform, Andrius finally stopped.

It shook its groggy head vigorously. Even now, a buzzing sound was still echoing in its ears.

Seemingly sensing something amiss, Andrius stretched out his wolf paw and touched his head.

Sure enough, there appeared a rectangular protrusion there—this was the large bag that Yu Jin had photographed.

At the last moment, Ember held back. Instead of slashing down, he "slapped" down with the Greatsword of Smoke.

If the blade were to actually strike Andrius squarely on the head, it wouldn't just be a simple matter of a large bag.

As the dust settled, Yu Jin's figure appeared at the edge of the large crater he had "slapped" out.

"Clang!" Ember planted the Greatsword vertically into the ground. The seemingly unsharp blade sank smoothly into the floor.

"Andrius, don't be reckless," Ember said, arms crossed.

"Your solid ice, combined with Boreas's flowing wind, makes for the strongest wolf king."

Chapter 229 The Little Wolf King, How Laughable!

2023-10-13

Wow! That's amazing!

"The Wolf King has been hammered away."

Outside the platform, Xiangling, who was grilling meat, and Razer, who was eating meat, both stared in astonishment as Andrius flew away.

Then Razer quickly shut his mouth—the meat in his mouth almost fell out.

"The meat you grilled is delicious!" Razer's hands were full of meat skewers; he had never eaten such delicious grilled meat before.

"Hehe, I'm quite confident in my cooking skills." Xiangling only watched for a while before starting to fiddle with the meat skewers on the campfire again.

Compared to fighting, she was more focused on cooking. As for Razer, he was intently watching Xiangling's movements.

Only by eating well can you better hone your skills! Besides, Andrius and Ember are too fast for him to figure out.

……

"Phew! I was wondering how much I've regressed, but it seems I've regressed quite a bit!" Andrius shook his head and laughed as if mocking himself.

"Don't underestimate yourself. You've lost some things, but you've also gained some, haven't you?" Ember drew his greatsword and slung it over his shoulder again.

"Haha, that's true! Awooo—" Andrius quickly composed itself. It had long been prepared for its strength to decline.

Although he was no longer the demon god who could freeze the North, with Boreas's Flowing Wind, his power had been softened considerably.

That is why it can protect this land instead of destroying it as it did before.

Accompanied by the howl of wolves, specks of white light gathered from Andrius's body, turning its entire form pale.

With a whoosh, a surging blue wind arose, and after the white light dissipated, Andrius, who had exerted his full power, appeared before Ember.

At this moment, it was shrouded in azure and deep blue, and its flowing braids looked even more lively.

This made Andrius's wolf look much lighter, like a feather landing on the ground, as if he would fly into the sky at any moment.

"Thump! Thump!" The sound of wolf hooves striking the stone slabs was so crisp. Andrius became even faster after gaining the power of the wind.
