The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"What's the point of talking to a rigid puppet? Do you think everyone can stare at a stone for hundreds of years without moving like you?"

Yae no Miko snorted coldly. At least stones can't talk; at most, they're just bored. But Thunder General is different. Her programmed way of thinking and speaking has infuriated Yae no Miko quite a bit.

No matter how Yae no Miko made fun of the Thunder General, the latter didn't even glance at her.

General Thunder's gaze never left the embers. Whether or not it was eternally stable was what General Thunder truly cared about.

This is more like a backup plan left by Rai Movie when he created Rai Dian General. Even if Rai Movie is the eternal enemy, she, as a puppet, will not hesitate to turn her sword against him.

"Is this your reason for waking me from my eternal meditation?" Lei Yingdong questioned Yae no Miko upon hearing this.

"While a large part of it is indeed my own quirky sense of humor, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time."

"This farce about 'eternity' should stop."

Yae no Miko's arms, which she had been holding, gradually fell down, and her expression changed from frivolous to solemn.

"Although I was somewhat prepared, when you, Divine Child, stood opposite me, my heart still couldn't help but flutter."

A bitter smile appeared on Lei Yingdian's usually calm face. After taking a deep breath, she raised her dream once more.

"Come on, divine child, let me see if you can still dodge my blade after all these years!"

As soon as Lei finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight toward the distant Yae no Kamiko.

"Imperial command!" With the final incantation, the Eightfold Divine Child's body vanished before the flash of light arrived.

"boom!"

Two flashes of light, one horizontal and one vertical, intersected, and Lei Yingdian's figure reappeared amidst the falling lightning.

"You haven't moved in centuries, are you trying to stretch your muscles?" Yae no Miko stepped out from beside Yu Jin, tidied her slightly frizzy pink hair, and said helplessly.

It seems my friend's mind has become as rigid as that doll's.

"Why are you fighting? Is your reminiscing with your best friend over?" Ember looked at General Thunder and jumped up, and General Thunder and General's head followed suit, which he found amusing.

"Alright, be serious!" Yae no Miko slammed down the bouncing embers and scolded him sternly.

"You don't seem to have the right to say that to me. I think you're quite frivolous." Although Yu Jin said this, he still stopped what he was doing.

He knew from the gradually increasing aura emanating from Lei Yingdian and Lei Dian General that what followed would be far more serious than the previous skirmish.

"I don't have time to waste with you. I know you're strong, take this, it'll make you even stronger!"

Yae no Miko also felt the undeniable aura behind her. She was quite certain that this was Lei Yingdian warning her.

If he weren't here, Yae no Miko would be absolutely certain that Raiden and Raiden General would have already attacked.

Upon receiving the red and white brocade pouch from the Eightfold Divine Child, Yu Jin grasped it and knew that it was the anchor point connecting the wishes of the Inazuma beings.

All those desires, whether strong or faint, echoed in Yu Jin's mind through this small brocade pouch.

This world is strange; wishes can truly be transformed into power. This was the first time Ember had truly felt this.

"I have faith in you." Yae nods to Yu Jin, then runs out through the reappearing hole behind him.

As the hole gradually shrank, Ember reached out and propped it up.

"Thirteen of you, come in here! It's time to get to work!"

"Besides, there are too many voices around me, and these wishes can't out-argue them, so they're useless to me."

On the other side, Ember's shouts echoed from the void. Immediately afterward, the brocade pouch that Yae no Miko had just released was thrown to the ground with a "thud".

Chapter 522 Who's ganging up on whom?

2024-03-03

Just as Ember was calling for help while peering through the empty cavern of the secret realm, General Thunder and Thunder Movie in the distance finally acted without any scruples.

"Sever!" In her divine state, General Raiden, the Calamity General, rose slightly. With a flick of her massive right arm, several purple vertical waves that were separated and spread out emerged from where the sword light had vanished.

The sword energy grew from small to large, becoming immensely powerful as it approached the embers. It connected heaven and earth, resembling a pillar reaching to the heavens.

However, the pillars will not advance, nor will they leave behind any elemental remnants like lava along the way.

"Where is your dignity as a martial artist?!" Yu Jin turned his head and saw the sweeping sword energy, and immediately jumped up in anger.

He finally understood why Inazuma had so many bad deeds; it was all because the upper beam was crooked, and the lower beam was crooked too!

"Watch out, Your Majesty!"

Just as Ember pulled out his well-worn brass shield, before he could even properly hold it, he saw a massive figure appear in front of him.

Needless to say, the Forge Knights have arrived.

Ordovician looked up and saw the sword energy sweeping towards him. Even before the sword energy itself arrived, purple lightning had already begun to crackle on his armor.

"hiss!"

Ordovician pulled back his left arm, which was holding the great shield, and wisps of white light appeared out of thin air from the surrounding purple and merged into the great shield in his hand.

In a short while, the great shield in Ordovician's hand changed from crimson to grayish-white.

Iron Wall Shield Defense – a combat technique renowned for the knight Nedhart. It concentrates power into the shield, temporarily enhancing its hardness and allowing it to withstand more powerful attacks.

The shield appeared heavy due to its silver-gray surface, as if it were made of countless layers of steel that had been hammered and pressed countless times.

"Boom!"

A boundless purple aura swept across the Ordovician, instantly creating a huge gap in the otherwise seamless sword energy.

The sword energy, formed from countless elemental forces, had already taken on a physical form. As it propelled the Ordovician backward, the elemental force within it also relentlessly eroded the Ordovician's body.

No matter how dense the elemental forces were or how cunning their transformations were, they could not penetrate the Ordovician body in the slightest.

"Drink!" Ordovician strained with his legs, leaned forward, and used his strength to stop his retreating steps.

He then took a deep breath, took a sudden step forward, and raised the large shield in his hand with his movement.

The shield's horn on the furnace shield seemed to transform into a sharp blade, piercing and shattering the solidified elemental power, turning it into chaotic and disordered energy that permeated the secret realm.

"Bang!" The sword energy, now missing a corner, could no longer remain stable and instantly transformed into a thunderstorm, disappearing into this dreamlike space.

Amidst the thunderstorm, the Forge Knight, clad in iron armor, remained standing.

"Bang!" Ordovician stomped his foot heavily, and countless bright amber fragments sprayed out from the gaps in his armor.

As the debris bulged out, the raging thunderstorm immediately subsided.

"Your strength is quite good, but you can only withstand a few more moves from me." General Thunder glanced at the unharmed Ordovician with some surprise. It's rare to see someone who can withstand her full-power attack head-on.

“I know this better than you do. Of course, Ordovician alone can’t beat you.”

"But sorry, there's a bunch of Ordovicians here!"

"Forge Knights, charge! Show her what a mixed group attack looks like!"

With a wave of his hand, the other twelve Forge Knights behind him lined up in a row, creating a truly impressive sight!

"..."

Seeing this, Lei Yingdian fell silent. He had originally brought Yu Jin here so that he could team up with General Lei to fight him in a mixed doubles match.

But judging from the current situation, it's the two of them who are now being attacked by the mixed group.

"I'll take care of those thirteen, you take care of the other one," General Thunder rarely instructed Thunder Movie.

Although she longed to challenge Ember, General Thunder had to admit that the real Thunder Movie was stronger than her.

Sending her to fight the stronger Embers is the best option for them to win right now.

"Good!" Lei Yingdian's dream burst forth with a light stronger than ever before, and her eyes were also filled with surging lightning.

General Thunder took the lead; without moving her legs, her body was swiftly lifted forward by the palms beneath her feet.

"Slash!" From a great distance, General Thunder swung his arm, and the giant arm behind him wielding a sword followed suit.

The blade flashed, tearing through space and instantly descending upon the Furnace Knight.

The deep purple, ink-like blade light did not frighten the Furnace Knights below.

On the contrary, the more critical the situation, the more excited the Forge Knights became. Long ago, beyond that borderland, they had fought and died alongside the First King, Griffith.

Now, the Forge Knights show no sign of backing down.

"Charge!" As the blade approached, several sword and shield forgemen, each holding a shield, stood at the forefront.

They stepped back slightly, briefly gathered their strength, and then charged forward fiercely with their large shields in hand.

"Sizzle!" The blade light was torn apart by several Furnace Knights that had transformed into battering rams, vanishing without a trace.

But the techniques of Masatsu Takenari no Kami no Mikoto are far more than these. Amidst the afterimages of the sword flashes, a sharp bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

That was the Vajra that General Thunder had just thrown; its six arms were naturally not limited to just one type of weapon, the katana.

"A petty trick!" The Forge Knight, hiding behind the Sword and Shield Knight, was no pushover either.

From afar, Silya noticed the Thunder General's action of throwing the vajra. She had already begun to gather her strength before the vajra even flew out.

Now is the time to gather strength and complete the task.

Unique combat skill - Silurian's Whirlpool - a combat skill that involves spinning a tree spear, entangling a vortex of wind, and then unleashing a thrust.

By charging up, it gains the power to knock enemies away and can also release a vortex of wind forward.

The spearhead of the tree spear, which had been spinning for a long time, had transformed into a golden vortex. Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhiliuya decisively threw the tree spear.

With a wave of his arm, the golden vortex detached from the tree spear and churned as it met the flying vajra.

"Whoosh!"

Shattering glass and thunderous roars resounded throughout the space, while gold, red, and purple intertwined in mid-air.

In the distance, specks of purple gathered from one of the three arms on General Thunder's left hand, and finally, the newly formed vajra reappeared in her hand.

Seeing the group of Forge Knights charging towards him, General Thunder finally took them seriously.

If the first move was luck, then the next two or three moves were a true display of skill.

The Forge Knights just now withstood three attacks.

His expression remained unchanged, but General Thunder was now on high alert.

She raised her real arm, and at the same time, the four arms behind her also rose up.
