The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

These coke clung together, eventually blending into the darkness and eroding the ground.

"call……"

The doctor was panting heavily, and within a few breaths, the wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In no time at all, he was completely healed.

However, physical damage is easier to repair, but mental damage is a different story.

The doctor looked up and around, and then he realized that none of the apostles were missing.

"not dead?!"

"Who told you our weakness is our heads?" The Abyss Apostle, which had just been shot in the head, moved its head; it really had almost died just now.

Fortunately, the Baptist of Deep Sin intervened in time, pulling it into the embrace of the abyss. This allowed it to quickly repair its physical damage and regain its vitality.

Seeing the Doctor's surprised expression, the Abyss Apostle's head exploded again. However, this time the black matter didn't scatter everywhere; instead, it coalesced into a long, swaying tentacle.

As the tentacles swayed, they didn't forget to make sarcastic remarks to him.

"The abyss is chaos, it is unpredictable. You don't actually think that we, who are born from the grace of the abyss, are as well-behaved as we appear, do you? You can't, can you?"

"Don't know? Get out of here and stop embarrassing yourself."

The Baptist of Deep Sin, seeing the apostle's shameless yet proud demeanor, was enraged. It grabbed the apostle's long "head" with one arm and slammed him violently to the ground on either side.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Uh... Lord Sinner, I was wrong, please... please stop hitting me!"

The apostle forcefully touched the ground several times with its body, and then its twisted tentacle head returned to its original shape.

Although the apostles may appear as chaotic and unpredictable as the abyss, they are still human.

He found human form more pleasing to the eye, so the apostles unconsciously maintained their "human" forms. Moreover, human form allowed for better flow of elemental energy, thus unleashing their maximum power.

"Your strength is a disgrace to the apostles. Go back and demote yourself to a mage to hone your skills. Don't make me do it myself."

"what?"

"Ok?"

"I...I understand."

Feeling the exhaustion and powerlessness in his body, the Abyss Apostle finally gave up the idea of ​​arguing.

Its strength does indeed fall short of the standards of an apostle? Could it be that it has been digging for too long and has become lax?

The Baptist of Deep Sin was teaching the Apostles of the Abyss a lesson, while Narcida unknowingly appeared behind them.

She overheard the conversation between the two monsters and glanced at the apostles locked in combat with the doctor, feeling that her own thoughts were even more correct.

"Perhaps I can explain these anomalies."

"Who?!"

"it's here."

Narcida jumped up and tapped the knee of the Deep Sin Baptist to draw its attention to the unassuming little thing.

"The Seven Gods..." The Baptist of Deep Sin looked at it with narrowed eyes, its four arms rubbing its palms together slightly before finally calming down.

Now that I've accepted the commission, I should deal with this troublesome fellow. As for the Grass God...

It's not too late to consider her after this matter is resolved.

"You may not trust me, but you can't not trust your own men, can you? They're on the verge of collapse."

"boom!"

As soon as Nasita finished speaking, another apostle collapsed heavily to the ground. A huge gash appeared in its chest, from which twinkling stars shone.

"Haha, Kurasi, consciously demote yourself to an Abyss Mage, don't need the Sinner to remind you."

The apostle, who had just been baptized by sin, saw his companion's disheveled state and immediately displayed a smug and petty attitude.

This was quite an eye-opener for the Great Tree King and Nasita, who would have thought that twisted abyssal monsters could have emotions similar to humans?

"Shut up!"

The Baptist of Deep Sin clapped his hands, successfully silencing the arrogant and dizzy apostle. The Baptist of Deep Sin looked at the distant battlefield, where sand and stones flew and roared, and keenly and quickly noticed the anomaly.

Not only the apostles, but even the chanters and priests casting spells on the periphery slowed down their spellcasting.

As for the apostles who fought the doctor most fiercely, needless to say, their wounds multiplied, and if the Baptists of Deep Sin hadn't periodically opened the Abyss Passage to throw them off the battlefield, many apostles would probably have perished here.

“We can cooperate, but only temporarily.” The hostility in the Deep Sin Baptist’s eyes lessened somewhat.

As Nasita said, there is indeed something wrong with the apostles. One apostle's lack of strength might be an error, but if it's a group, then we need to consider whether the earth's veins are disordered.

However, the doctor in front of me clearly couldn't do that.

“Some of you must have been captured and studied by the Doctor before, otherwise he couldn’t have concocted a poison that could affect the Apostles using only the remnants of the Demon God and a low-level Dead Zone.”

"Poison? There's a poison that works on us?"

The Baptists of Deep Sin were shocked to hear this. There was actually a poison on Teyvat that could be effective against these "creatures" whose life structure was completely different from that of traditional life!

"This is not poison in the ordinary sense. It is a mixture of demonic remnants and black poison from the Dead Zone, which is added to your bodies in an extremely stable and inert state to disrupt the flow of power."

Narcida looked down at the huge scar on the chest of the Abyss Apostle, and while drawing her conclusion, she felt dizzy.

Alright, that's enough. For the god of wisdom, some things are forbidden.

The voice of the Great Tree King resounded from the depths of Naxida's heart, causing her to quickly turn her head away.

[Phew...that was close, I almost got hooked.]

After silently admonishing herself, Nasita stopped looking into the apostle's body, even though there was much knowledge within it that she did not know.

"Crack!"

Round, dark purple grass seeds took root and sprouted on the surface of the apostle's body. With Nasita's support, it continuously extended its roots to unknown places.

Everything around it was a death trap, but within that death trap, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Sensing the familiar aura, the roots of the miraculous herb began to grow vigorously, greedily absorbing its useful parts.

"Are flowers blooming all over me?"

"Me too, what kind of flower is this?"

The two apostles poked the strange flowers on their bodies in surprise, and then they saw the flowers decay, wither and turn into a pool of sticky black mud at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The apostles were all too familiar with this; it was a sign of descent into the abyss. Even life forms that had evolved countless times in this poisonous land had places they could not tread, and the apostles' bodies were clearly one of them.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that their ability to sprout, grow, and even blossom on the apostles is all thanks to the power of Nasita, the "Lord of Plants and Trees."

But even the power of the gods is ineffective against the abyss; the fact that it has lasted this long is beyond Narcida's expectations—she originally intended to simply wrap the apostle in turf.

"The power... has returned."

"Heh heh, you despicable scoundrel, let's have a fair fight!"

The restored apostles roared and charged forward again. This nearly caused the doctor, who had just torn apart the giant fireball, to catch his breath.

He looked around at the densely packed apostles, chanters, and priests, as well as the Great Tree King and Nasita, who were secretly watching him, seemingly lost in thought...

A fair and square fight? When have these people ever been fair and square? Their hearts are even blacker than his!

"Phew... this won't do, we need to come up with another plan!"

The Doctor finally caught his breath during the fierce exchange, and the apostles around him became energetic again. The instigator was, of course, Nasita, who was secretly watching the show from afar.

"How was it? Did I do a good job?" Nasita skipped over to the Great Tree King, looking like she wanted praise.

The Great Tree King naturally didn't hold back his praise: "Excellent! Remember to make more use of plants in battle in the future. Imagine yourself as a single plant, a patch of vegetation, or even a plant covering the entire continent."

"You can't do anything about it, but maybe they can?"

"Hehe, I understand."

The Great Tree King patted Nasita's head, and the latter obediently lowered her head.

"boom!"

Despite the scarce elemental energy around him, the Doctor forcibly squeezed out a shimmering lightning spear.

For no other reason than that he couldn't stand seeing Naxida and the Great Tree King so leisurely.

"boom!"

The bright lightning spear was easily blocked by the Great Kindness Tree King. Perhaps in the eyes of others this lightning bolt would be terrifying, but in the eyes of the Great Kindness Tree King, the lightning spear was pitifully small.

The doctor threw it out like a giant exerting all his strength, only to end up throwing out a toothpick.

This also demonstrates the formidable power of the earth's leyline elemental bindings. As for the apostles who were using their full strength... it was clearly ineffective.

The power within the Apostle originates from the Abyss's forceful control over elemental forces. This control is inherently coercive, tyrannical, and forcibly molded by the Abyss's status.

Therefore, since the apostles forcibly extract elemental power from the air or ley lines to attack, elemental confinement naturally does not exist for them.

"Tree King, should we make a move?" Nasita asked, seeing the Doctor fighting and retreating.

"Is he trying to run away?"

The Great Compassion Tree King, seeing the scholar's actions, immediately fixed his eyes on him. Coming and going as he pleased, treating Mount Sumeru like his own backyard?

However, before the Great Tree King could respond, the Baptist of Deep Sin responded first.

"It's time for you two to make your move. Before I leave, I'll give him a big gift. From now on, it's up to the two of you."

"Wait? What do you mean by that...?"

Clearly, the Baptist of Deep Sin was no longer in the mood to answer their questions. Its aura surged intensely, filling the air with heat and intense light.

"Generate thunder, command fire!"

The magic circle behind the Baptist of Deep Sin shattered in two with a "crack," one half a leaping purple, the other a raging red.

Its two arms hung down, and its ten fingers transformed into merciless elemental conduits.
