The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Great astrologer Mona, tell me the answer the stars have given you!" Fischl exclaimed in her unique tone—she had fully recovered and was back to her chuunibyou ways.

“Hmm…” Mona touched her witch’s hat, sorted out the information in her mind and slowly said, “The owner of the Destiny Star is called [Leonard], an adventurer from a thousand years ago.”

"The destiny star of the ancients?" Paimon seemed quite surprised.

"Yes, not only that, I also calculated the time when the star of destiny will fall..."

“The time is…” Paimon naturally followed up.

"Now!" Mona pointed to the sky, and following her gaze, everyone saw an incredibly thick blue streak of light.

This beam of light was brighter than any before. In addition to its bright blue hue, it also had hints of dreamy pale purple, making the shooting star appear even more mysterious.

"Oh no! Catherine II is gone!" Fischl was the first to snap out of her daze at the dreamlike shooting star. She only glanced at it briefly before realizing that "Catherine II" had disappeared among the crowd.

"Don't worry about it, that ugly thing ran away and that's it. I'm too lazy to talk to you about it, it scared me several times late at night!"

Mona was completely unconcerned about the deserters' escape; such ugly things, let them go if they want.

"Hmph! It's too late to realize now!" The skirmishers in the distance snorted coldly upon hearing Fischl's voice.

He knew more than others and clearly understood that the spiritual will contained within the destiny star was more resilient and brought a stronger spiritual impact.

So he was prepared—when everyone was distracted by the star of destiny, he took off running!

This was an opportunity that the stragglers had endured humiliation and hardship, being bossed around by Ember and his group for a full day and a half. Fortunately, he seized it!

The stragglers recalled what the clown had said before they set off...

[Your ruling planet will fall on Musk Reef; you only need to enter into the realm of your ruling planet to understand what I'm about to say.]

"Musk Reef..." The skirmisher discerned the direction of the sea and ran towards it without looking back.

……

"What should we do now?" Ying asked the group as she saw the huge meteorite falling from the sky.

Mona performed several more divinations, but this time there were no results.

“Let’s go! Let’s go to Mondstadt and find records about Leonard. The more information we have, the more I can divine.”

"Even if you want to know the location where the meteorite landed, it's not difficult."

After several unsuccessful attempts, Mona realized that the available information could only reveal Leonard's name and the year of his birth.

Further information is needed.

"Oh no! The Ember is gone too!" Just as Mona was about to lead everyone to the Mondstadt Library, she heard Paimon shout.

Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that besides "Catherine II," Ember was also nowhere to be found.

"Maybe it was..." Mona was about to say "that it ran away with Catherine II" when she suddenly saw the light in front of her brighten up.

She looked up sharply and saw a blurry figure in front of the huge meteorite.

The once unstoppable star of destiny was brought to a halt in the sky by this figure.

Ember supported the massive meteorite with both hands, and the will emanating from it like ripples on water seemed to exist nothing to him.

"Crack!"

Yu Jin exerted force with both hands, his fingers digging deep into the meteorite.

"Where did you come from? I'll take you back there!"

The massive meteorite suddenly began to spin in the sky. Feeling that it had accumulated enough power, Ember loosened his grip, and the meteorite enjoyed the same method of flying as the Wolf King.

"call--"

A blue-purple meteor streaked through the air with a deafening roar. This auspicious star arrived quickly and disappeared just as fast. Before long, the meteorite had vanished completely from the sky.

This sight caused those on the ground to widen their eyes in astonishment. Could it be that a meteor could fly backwards?

The sound of the meteor streaking through the air was so loud that even the soldiers running on the ground could hear it.

He looked up and saw the shooting star flying backwards in the sky.

"..."

The stragglers stopped, looked up at the sky, and remained silent for a long time. Things had developed too quickly; his mind was blank.

I was supposed to chase that meteorite all the way to Musk Reef, but why did it fly back into the sky backwards?

Could this be what the clown and the doctor keep saying, "Teyvat has its own laws"?

This is outrageous! What kind of law could make a falling meteorite fly back into the sky?

As the meteorite's light faded, the skirmishers finally saw the blurry figure hovering in the sky.

Ember noticed the skirmisher's gaze. He lowered his head and waved his fist at the skirmisher. Daring to run away? Looks like he hasn't been used enough; he still has plenty of strength left.

"boom!"

Bright flames erupted from the earth, and the stragglers and embers exchanged a glance before transforming into dazzling sparks.

"????"

Yu Jin scratched his head. Had he become so powerful that he could make someone explode with just a look?

Chapter 339 Explodes Out a Person with a Poor Expression

2023-12-07

"boom!"

A wave of scorching heat swept across, accompanied by a huge fireball rising into the air, leaving a dark crater in the ground.

It seems the stragglers were really furious. After realizing his mission had failed, he didn't hesitate at all and directly chose to detonate the puppet he had hastily created.

Do not give Ember any chance to torture him.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As the roar subsided, a pitch-black arm suddenly emerged from the ground at the bottom of the dark pit, looking as if it had risen from the dead.

"Oh!"

After feeling around at the bottom of the pit for a while and confirming there was no danger, another loud bang echoed across the already chaotic ground.

Amidst the flying dirt, a blond man dressed in blue-black clothes and wearing an eye patch leaped out from underground.

Daines Reb first cleaned the dirt off his clothes, then picked up some sand from the ground and rubbed it against his skin.

Despite wearing dark black leather arm armor, Daines Reb could clearly feel the lingering warmth of the sand.

Take a deep breath; it's the pungent smell of fire and thunder mixed with gunpowder.

"Is it simply some kind of elemental bomb mixed with explosives?" Daines Reb threw away the sand in his hand and stopped paying attention to the strange noise he had just witnessed.

He had been tracking the Abyss Order's presence in the underground ruins, but instead of finding any trace of the Abyss Order, he was almost buried underground by a landslide caused by the rumbling above ground.

He initially thought it was an ambush set up by the Abyss Cult after they discovered him. But when he got up there, it turned out to be just some kind of bomb.

Since it's a bomb, then it's fine. Only humans use bombs; the Abyss Cult doesn't. Those monsters only trust the blades in their hands.

Daines Reeb was not interested in anything human; his only concern was the Abyss Order deep within the earth.

Of course, this is on the premise that humans do not touch the taboo of the abyss.

Looking up, I saw a very ordinary field in Mondstadt, nothing special or noteworthy.

"Is it already this late?" Daines Reeb looked at the bright moon in the sky and decided to go back to sleep.

The cursed body granted Daines Reeb immortality, but also robbed him of the possibility of sleep with endless agony.

But if he's not busy, Daines Reeb will still take a nap. Not for any other reason than to remind himself that he is still human.

He was afraid that he would wake up one day to find himself transformed into a non-human monster.

"Perhaps... we could have a drink together?" Even the usually stoic Dainesreb couldn't help but smile at the thought of Mondstadt's wine.

Centuries later, when I returned to Mondstadt, the food here hadn't gotten worse; on the contrary, it was even more delicious and flavorful than before.

"May I ask you to?" A cold, iron hand landed on Daines Reeb's shoulder, making the latter tremble.

Dain leaned forward almost instinctively, then turned around and distanced himself from Ember.

"Sorry, I don't have many Mora in my pocket either. You'll have to ask someone else to treat you." Din subtly shook his shoulders, brushing off any dust or "tricks" that might have been on them.

After glancing at the knight, whose mystery was comparable to his own, Dain quickly turned and left.

Although it appeared to be walking, Dain was moving at an astonishing speed. Unfortunately, however, he still couldn't shake off Ember.

"Fine, I won't invite you then. I just want to ask, how did you pop out of the ground? Are you one of Mondstadt's legendary vampires?" Ember and Dain walked side by side.

He glanced at Daines Reeb's aristocratic-looking dark blue cloak and black suit. Remembering how he'd run out of the ground, Ember thought the skirmishers might have actually blasted the vampires out.

"..." Dain stopped walking and resumed his normal pace. He realized that no matter how fast he sped up, this guy could keep up with him in an instant.

So, faced with Ember's strange question, Dain used his usual tactic—silence is golden!

Based on Dain's past experience, as long as he doesn't say anything, a large empty space will appear around him, and no one will bother him.

Unfortunately, this tactic was still ineffective against Ember.

"bass--"

A dazzling white light burst forth in the embers' hands, illuminating the entire field as bright as day.

Dain closed his eyes; for someone of his strength, he could still discern directions even in the darkness.

"Shh!"

With a whooshing sound, Dain felt something pry open her lips, followed by an unbearable metallic taste.

The thing that pried open his mouth was gone, and the metallic smell dissipated. But a spicy taste then spread from Dain's mouth.

"Pah! What did you do to me?!" Dain couldn't stay calm. He stopped and coughed a few times on the ground.

"Here's some garlic for you. Looks like you're not a vampire after all." Ember tossed a bunch of garlic around Dain's neck.

The latter picked it up, glanced at it briefly, and then threw it away.

"Vampires? Such things are as impossible as the Abyss Cult doing good deeds."

Dain straightened up, resuming his previous facial expression, as if he hadn't been the one who had just lost his composure.
