The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

[That big tree is quite special, let's take a look at it sometime.] Although we can't afford to look at the scenery in front of us, that doesn't mean we can't look at what's behind us.

An immortal person has 360-degree vision!

With the embers running at full speed, he reached Eagle Beach from Mondstadt in just two hours.

Crouching in a bush, Ember looked at the somewhat bustling Eagle Soaring Beach in the distance.

Although he had become invisible, Ember still huddled in the bushes.

Because everything depends on the atmosphere. For example, in an assassination, you have to hide well. Being invisible doesn't count as hiding—this is Yu Jin's own understanding of assassination.

Under the watchful eye of Ember, the "culprit" in the Blackfire case was quickly escorted to Eagle Beach.

The "criminal" was wearing a heavy black coat, but his fiery red hair remained perfectly neat even under these conditions.

At this moment, his hands were shackled, and he was surrounded by a large number of Fools soldiers.

Their group was heading in the direction of the large ship anchored at the seaside. It seemed that the Kingdom of Zhidong was taking this Blackfire case very seriously, and was willing to travel thousands of miles to bring the "criminal" back to the country for trial.

Diluc glanced at the distribution of people around him, a smile playing on his lips. These few people weren't enough for him to fight.

Ignoring Kaeya's suggestion of reinforcements, Diluc decided to go it alone.

He easily broke free of the shackles that had already been modified, and before the fools could react, he began his attack.

A torrent of black flames erupted from his body, knocking the surrounding Fool soldiers to the ground.

"The criminal is about to escape!"

"Go! Subdue him!"

"We can't let him escape!"

As a military organization that has dominated the Teyvat continent, the Fatui quickly reacted, rapidly deploying their formation and launching a counterattack against Diluc.

Lively fireflies, whistling bullets, and sharp throwing knives flew towards Diluc, but they could not stop Diluc's advance.

One Fool soldier after another was taken down by him, but they were all only knocked unconscious. He still knew Mondstadt's difficulties.

Diluc rubbed his aching arms, preparing to continue the fight. Just then, a dark shadow flashed by.

Diluc raised his arm, blocking the attack. The powerful force sent Diluc flying a considerable distance.

"As expected, I'm still not used to combat." The Doctor looked at Diluc, who had stood up, with some emotion.

"Oh, the Evil Eye? Yours is the worst. Join us, and you'll be qualified to become an Executive Officer." The Doctor stared at Diluc with interest and actually extended an invitation.

Diluc felt a chill run down his spine as he felt the Doctor's gaze upon him, which was as if he were looking at a lab rat.

He spat and said contemptuously, "Heh, I wouldn't even look at the Fools."

"Looks like there's no point in negotiating? They really are barbarians, they don't know how to assess the situation." The doctor's face darkened.

Two figures darted across Eagle Soar Beach, the sounds of fists and feet clashing echoing throughout the beach.

Ember looked at Diluc, who was already wounded, and knew he couldn't watch any longer. But before that, he needed to change into a new suit of armor.

"Hah..." Diluc gasped for breath; he already had some wounds on his body.

That was the work of the Fools' soldiers in the distance; in their battle with the Doctor, they either took the Doctor's punches or the soldiers' bullets.

Clearly, he chose the latter.

"It seems I have no choice but to increase the power of the Evil Eye." Diluc felt a bitter taste in his mouth. To reduce the burden, he had always used only the most basic function of the Evil Eye.

But now is not the time to be stingy. If he doesn't exert his strength now, he might be done for today.

But soon, a strange thing happened. Diluc saw a tall woman's figure appear behind the Doctor.

The woman was clad in full silver armor, tall and slender. Light gauze draped over the silver armor, making her appear even more graceful.

The woman reached out and grabbed the doctor, lifting him up with one hand and placing him on her knee. The immense strength and the unusual grip made it impossible for the doctor to break free.

At this moment, the doctor was like a lamb to the slaughter.

Then Diluc saw that the woman had a curved, forked dagger in her free hand.

"Sss—" Blood splattered as Ember plunged the black knife into the Doctor's waist, and then the Doctor's eyes widened in shock.

This person has no kidneys!

Chapter 11 Sleeping Meteor

2023-08-28

"Ah!" The Doctor cried out in pain as he lay flat on Ember's lap.

It's not his fault. As a dagger, the black knife is not only a size larger, but it also has many forks on its blade.

With one slice, it doesn't matter what kind of kidney it is, it'll all be shredded. Unfortunately, the doctor doesn't have any kidneys.

After delivering the first strike, Ember could no longer maintain control over the Doctor. The Doctor also realized this, and he quickly broke free from Ember's grasp, leaping to create distance.

"Hiss—" The doctor clutched the wound on his waist, and blood gushed out from between his fingers.

The doctor watched the Ember, clad in black sword armor, warily in the distance, not daring to relax his guard in the slightest.

As one of the doctor's slices, he had near-absolute control over his body. However, no matter how he tried to control the muscle contractions of the wound, blood continued to seep out uncontrollably.

This was a tactic he had never seen before!

Ember looked at the Doctor still standing in the distance, somewhat incredulous. Back in Ritual Town, he had been stabbed in the back by four Black Blades, suffering at least a dozen cuts.

That experience is still one of his shadows, and that's why Ember spent a long time learning the kidney-cutting technique from the Black Knives, just to protect his kidneys from harm.

Now, on his first attempt, the opponent didn't even have kidneys! This completely stumped Yu Jin.

"No, let's try again!" Yu Jin's expression hardened beneath his mask, and he vanished from everyone's sight.

As the Doctor watched the embers vanish again, ignoring his own wounds, large clusters of black flames erupted around him—he had used the Evil Eye.

Unfortunately, this method had limited effect on Ember. He reappeared behind the Doctor and lifted him up amidst the Doctor's horrified gaze—the Doctor was wearing a mask, which Ember had imagined himself.

"Ah—" Then everyone heard a scream coming from the black fire.

"Shh!" The sound of light footsteps on gravel came from Diluc. He turned his head and found that Ember had been standing next to him at some point.

Seeing the red-stained black knife in his hand, Diluc instinctively took a step back and clutched his waist.

"Are you serious about taking that step back?" Yu Jin thought to himself.

However, he didn't say it out loud because he didn't want others to know that he was dressed as a woman.

"Sorry, your technique... well, it's a bit peculiar," Diluc said awkwardly when he saw Ember staring at him.

Without the life-giving power from the doctor, the black flames didn't last long. Soon, when the black flames dissipated, everyone gasped in shock at the sight of the doctor.

The doctor was lying face down on the ground, blood gushing from the wound on his side, staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

"Heh... Hehe, this is really interesting. It's been a long time since anyone has made me look so bad. You're the first one since I became an executive officer."

The Doctor raised his head with some difficulty and gave Ember a smile. He stared intently at the woman in front of him, as if trying to remember her forever.

Unfortunately, he was looking at the embers, not the Black Blade. After this, perhaps? Maybe? It's likely the Black Blade will never appear again.

"We've taken too long. You take half, I'll take half, let's finish this quickly!" Diluc snorted as he saw the remaining Fatui soldiers regroup.

The only thing worth praising about the Fools is their loyalty.

Ember heard Diluc's words and thought they made sense. However, he blocked Diluc's path.

Ember could see that a significant portion of Diluc's power came from the Evil Eye on his waist. Although Diluc used it very carefully, it was ultimately depleting his own life force.

Under Diluc's puzzled gaze, Ember half-squatted on the ground, drew circles with his hands, and then stretched his arms straight out.

A dazzling golden light shot out from between his arms; it was a shooting star, a golden shooting star.

It is said to be the oldest golden tree for prayer.

One of the "legendary prayers." It can create countless golden meteors that attack the surrounding area.

The massive meteor pillar was surrounded by countless tiny meteors, resembling a miniature galaxy.

Diluc was already dumbfounded; the golden light had replaced the sun, and he could only see a golden glow covering the entire beach.

But Ember knew perfectly well that when he first obtained the prayer, he couldn't wait to fight the Black Sword Maricus, and almost got his brains smashed out by the Black Sword.

This has led him to now doubt whether the Elden Meteor Prayer was just a joke sent by that old bastard Elden from the Supreme Will.

The endless stream of small meteors automatically found their target and hurtled towards the Fool's soldiers.

When the soldiers saw the sky full of shooting stars, a look of despair appeared in their eyes. It seemed that they were going to die here today.

"Hmph!" A meteor struck the head of an icy fat man, causing him to groan in pain.

"?!" But Ice Fatty quickly realized that although the attack was indeed very painful, like a dull thud on the head, it seemed to be much less powerful than he had expected.

But his face quickly turned green again, because one sudden blow was fine, but have you ever seen a sky full of sudden blows?

Soon the beach was in chaos as the Fools' soldiers scrambled for cover, trying to avoid the meteor that had fallen from the sky.

The first, the second... soon someone was hit several times in a row and collapsed to the ground, unwilling to accept defeat.

Before long, the beach was littered with the unconscious soldiers of the Fools. One could vaguely see that several large bumps had appeared on their heads.

Now only the Doctor is left struggling to hold on. He was just about to say something to Diluc and Ember in the distance when he saw the meteor pillar turn and attack him.

Then, disregarding all decorum, he covered his head and began to hide from Elden Meteor.

Realizing that someone could evade it, the meteor pillar seemed to become enraged. It suddenly accelerated, charging towards the professor with a multitude of smaller meteors in its wake.

"Bang!" The meteor pillar exploded, knocking the doctor to the ground. Just as he was trying to struggle to his feet, he saw the remaining smaller meteors rushing towards him.

"I'll remember you all!!!" The doctor let out a furious roar of resentment before being engulfed by the meteor.

"Clang, clang, clang!" The sound of shooting stars shattering echoed continuously on the beach, creating quite a lively scene!

The golden light dissipated, leaving only the doctor's unconscious figure. Blood was still flowing from his waist, but the doctor was bleeding a lot; even after so long, he still hadn't bled out.

Seeing that the Doctor's life force was still strong, and remembering that he seemed to be a leader of the Fatui, Ember made a throat-slitting gesture towards Diluc.

“No, this is just a ‘slice’ of him. Even if we kill him, it will have no impact on the real doctor and will only escalate the conflict. It’s not worth it.”

Diluc shook his head. Although he wished he could wipe out the Fatui immediately, he knew that such things had to be done slowly and couldn't be rushed.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Diluc, and I own Dawn Winery. Feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future. Also, Angel's Gift in Mondstadt is one of my properties. Come over for a drink sometime."
