The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Combat Skill: Rapid Fire - After preparing to attack, you can activate the rapid fire mechanism to unleash a series of normal or heavy attacks.

The Dragonbow – a great bow used for dragon hunting in the age of the gods. It is enormous beyond reason for a bow, and therefore possesses extraordinary power.

The bow must be fixed to the ground before shooting, which takes preparation time and results in a long waiting period. Only large arrows can be used.

Combat Skill: Piercing Shot - A large arrow fired with increased rotational force that can pierce through all enemies in its line, dealing damage.

Ember held a regular bow in his left hand, a repeating crossbow in his right, and the Dragonbow on his back.

Then sparks flew from the crossbow in his right hand, as the crossbow technique was being prepared. Immediately afterward, Ember jumped back, interrupting the crossbow technique, and quickly put it away, replacing it with the Dragonbow, which was taller than him, in his right hand.

Then, a shocking scene unfolded. The two-meter-tall Dragonbow in Yu Jin's right hand, with a string as thick as a finger, began to vibrate wildly.

The bowstring of the Dragon Hunter Greatbow, made of steel, was drawn automatically without human intervention, and the golem's arrow was nocked on its own.

In a short moment, the Dragon Slayer Bow fired dozens of arrows powerful enough to shatter dragon scales. The entire open space was filled with explosions, and the earth trembled from the endless explosions!

The Inner Technique – Left Bow Machine Gun: A combat technique that utilizes the world's rules (game bug) in combat. It grants the Great Bow an unparalleled rate of fire, a technique that will not stop until the user's stamina is exhausted.

Of course, the embers could be interrupted. He put away his great bow, looked at the ravaged land, and was slightly shocked. The inner technique was indeed a hidden technique, its power was terrifying.

"So, do you want to learn?" Ember asked, holding the greatbow, looking at Fischl who was standing there dumbfounded.

Fischl looked at the large bow in Ember's hand, which was two heads taller than her, and then looked at her own fair and delicate arms. She wondered if it was inappropriate for a young girl like her to learn this.

“I’ll learn it!” Fischl immediately responded excitedly. Such a powerful skill was something she, as the Princess of Judgment, absolutely had to learn!

"Good!" Ember exclaimed in praise, then tossed the Dragonbow and Repeating Crossbow to Fischl.

Although these two items are very precious, they are not very useful to Ember, at most they are just toys, but they are different for Fischl.

Fischl looked at the rusty dragon-hunting bow, struggled to lift it, and touched the bow and string.

Then a grand image appeared in her mind: a knight in silver armor raising a great bow, facing the giant dragon in the sky.

He drew the bowstring, nocked the arrow, and the dragon fell to the ground. The miracle of the dragon hunt lingered in Fischl's mind for a long time.

Then she looked at the repeating crossbow next to her, its broken body stained with dark red blood.

Fischl suddenly had a feeling that the crossbow was bent not because it was broken, but because time and space were curved in the place where the battle took place.

"Alright, stop looking, I'll teach you." Yu Jin patted Fischl's head and began the lesson.

When Fischl looked again, the Dragonbow and the Repeating Crossbow had become quite ordinary.

The memories remaining in Gale's weapon are not something Fischl can bear.

As someone who fought to the very end of time and space and ultimately devoured the Dark Soul, even a sliver of his memory is terrifying enough.

Of course, the same goes for embers.

The left bow technique is not difficult to learn; the biggest challenge is replacing the repeating crossbow with the Dragon Slayer Greatbow out of thin air.

However, with the Eye of God's inherent spatial storage, this was not difficult. After some guidance from Ember, Fischl quickly grasped the key points.

"Boom boom boom!" Three golem arrows, accompanied by a storm, flew out and caused a violent explosion in the distance.

Fischl, who caused all this, collapsed to the ground, clutching her right hand. The massive dragon-hunting bow was already lying on the ground.

It seems that with Fischl's stamina, firing three arrows in succession is her limit. Fischl stood up, clutching her right hand. Although she wasn't the one drawing the bowstring, the vibrations from firing the Dragonbow still made her right arm incredibly sore.

But it was all worth it. Fischl looked at the three huge craters in the distance. The destructive power of such craters was even greater than a salvo of missiles fired by the Ruins Guardians.

"Ha! Again!" After resting for a while, Fischl got up again and started using the left bow technique once more.

Accompanied by booming background noise, Ember turned and walked to Bennett's side. The latter also looked expectant; Fischl's gift was so powerful, his shouldn't be any less so, right?

Meeting Bennett's expectant gaze, Ember drew a straight sword.

A straight sword called the Ringed Knight Straight Sword.

Chapter 101 My Straight Ring Will Not Lose

2023-08-28

The Ringed Knight's Straight Sword—a black straight sword wielded by the Ringed Knight. Forged in the abyss by its predecessors, it carries a trace of life within it.

It is said that this is why the gods sealed the sword with fire along with its master.

Combat Skill: Lingering Flame - Pick up the sword that has lost its former glory, assume a stance, and temporarily regain its former splendor and the power of fire.

Ember handed the deep black straight sword to Bennett, who took it and examined it carefully.

This straight sword was also covered in rust; in fact, most of Ember's weapons were like this.

The hilt of the Ringed Knight's Straight Sword is a black iron rod with minimal decoration. Beyond the hilt is a guard formed by haphazardly twisted, tree-like forked horns.

From within this twisted horn, the blade of a ringed knight's sword emerged, its surface engraved with intricate, jet-black patterns. Bennett could also vaguely make out flowing firelight and indescribable, dark matter within it.

Bennett's heart skipped a beat; a sharp pain shot through his temple. His very nature told him that this thing was dangerous!

It was so dangerous that even his own good fortune in surviving dire situations couldn't help him.

"Come, come! I'll teach you how to use it." A warm voice came from behind, and Yu Jin was a little excited. He never expected that the little trick he had discovered in this world would give him a chance to rebuild the world.

When Ember's voice came, Bennett felt a sense of relief. When he looked again, the Ringed Knight's Straight Sword had returned to its ordinary appearance.

"Alright! Then I'll leave it to you, senior!" Bennett took a few deep breaths and flashed his signature smile. Knowing that his senior wouldn't harm him was enough!

Ember nodded. The young man was quick to understand; it seemed he hadn't chosen the wrong person. He then pulled out an identical ringed knight's straight sword.

As for why there's a second one? Duh, it's obviously stolen! Does Ringed City only have one knight? He even has a bunch of Dragon Slayer Greatbows.

"Watch closely!" Yu Jin shouted, then swung his sword. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a strange scene.

Just as Yu Jin finished his swinging motion, his hand returned to the position it was in before the swing.

A faint glow appeared on the Ringed Knight's straight sword, indicating that it was preparing to activate its combat technique, Ember.

The more they watched, the stranger it seemed; Yu Jin's actions clearly defied common sense. A normal person swinging a sword, if they missed, would definitely travel a short distance to slow down and retract the blade.

The movement that Yu Jin just seemed to have skipped directly put him back in the state before he swung his sword!

This is the secret that Ember discovered—the Ringed Knight's Straight Sword combat technique can cancel the attack animation!

It must be something like Zuo Gong!

Looking at the puzzled crowd, Yu Jin explained, "This weapon's combat skill... its inherent power can cancel the attack's recovery animation."

“If you’re skilled enough, you can do it like this.” Ember said, taking out the Black Knight Shield and beginning his performance.

Yu Jin's upper body twisted rapidly, his body swaying back and forth between bent and upright positions, with no intermediate position!

This is a process of canceling, canceling, canceling... in short, canceling many unnecessary things.

Ember kept canceling for a while before stopping, because he found the weapon quite fun.

"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?" Yu Jin said to the stunned crowd, who nodded blankly.

Putting everything else aside, the ability to shake and twist one's body at such a rapid frequency is terrifying.

"Try Bennett!" Ember looked at Bennett with enthusiasm, hoping he could replicate the spectacular scene from before.

"Ha!" Bennett swung his sword, but nothing happened.

Yu Jin scratched his head and said to him, "Never mind, let's familiarize ourselves with your combat skills first."

"Combat skills?" Bennett was puzzled. This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing. Could it be elemental combat skills?

"It's something engraved on the weapon, like a pre-programmed sequence. You can use it as long as you input power," Ember explained.

Combat techniques are good, but nothing beats what you learn yourself. Ember can now unleash a single-stroke slash on his greatsword! One strike, and no matter who you are, your head will be spinning.

Without learning combat skills, the One-Word Slash can only be imprinted on small and medium-sized swords; it's impossible to use it on extremely large weapons.

"Calm down and feel it," Yu Jin gently coaxed.

“Hmm.” Bennett nodded in response. He closed his eyes and focused his attention on gripping the Ringed Knight’s Straight Sword tightly in his hand.

Soon, something seemed to be drawing him in from the shadows, a tiny suction force emanating from the ringed knight's sword in Bennett's hand.

Bennett opened his eyes. He found it! He relaxed, letting the Ringed Knight's straight sword draw something away.

"Boom!" A violent sound of flames erupting rang out, and Bennett discovered that the Ringed Knight Straight Sword in his hand was engulfed in flames.

The flames condensed into a pillar of fire that stretched several meters away!

Keep it up! Bennett increased his power, and the thought of attacking flashed through his mind.

Then, an experience he had never had before came over him—his body was controlled by weapons.

This control was simple; Bennett could sense that his consciousness was not affected, and he could cancel this control at any time.

Then, to Fischl's astonishment, Bennett swiftly raised his several-meter-long fire blade and swung it five times in quick succession. Wherever the fire blade swept, the air became scorching.

"This..." Bennett looked at his hands in surprise. Was the speed and posture of his knife swing really something his body could do?

For Bennett, who always fought without regard for his life, this was the first time he had experienced the shock that "skill" could bring.

Just as Bennett was reflecting on what had just happened, Ember leaned over and asked, "Does anything feel uncomfortable?"

He didn't know how many blue bars Bennett had, so he asked.

"Uh, my brain is a little tired?" Bennett scratched his head. He actually felt mentally tired, which was another strange experience.

"This weapon uses your mental energy to perform combat techniques. Be careful when using it, and don't lose your memory." Yu Jin nodded, just as he had guessed.

Bennett was puzzled again after hearing Ember's words. Mental power? He had never heard of such a thing.

Ember didn't explain further. He said, "Alright, now that you've successfully used your combat skill, try canceling the aftercast delay. It's very useful!"

It really works; the ring can even cancel the after-hit animation, which is ridiculous.

“Alright!” Bennett recalled Ember’s movements. He swung his sword, then quickly channeled his mental energy into the Ringed Knight Sword.

Then, Bennett found his hand, which had been swinging downwards, suddenly returned to its previous position. And the pillar of fire on the Ringed Knight's straight sword reignited.

"Clap clap clap!" Yu Jin clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, but you still need to practice. When you can cancel before the flames are fully ignited, that's when you've truly mastered the skill."

As he spoke, Yu Jin started canceling again in a bizarre way, finding it very amusing.

……

Amidst the deafening roar and the occasional crackling of flames, the group practiced until evening.

After parting ways at the gates of Mondstadt, Ember went alone into a tavern—Katherine had returned to her home in Mondstadt.
